China Pharmacy 2016;27(19):2599-2601
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the characteristics and trends of illegal circulation of counterfeit drugs in China,and to put forward monitoring countermeasures. METHODS:In empirical study,3 typical cases of counterfeit drugs manufacturing and selling in China were analyzed (including Jiangsu Wuxi Internet transnational counterfeit drugs manufacturing and selling case, Shanghai Avastin eye drug case,Sichuan Dazhou counterfeit drugs case),to compare the sources of counterfeit drug and illegal cir-culation pathway,thus find out the monitoring problems. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:Main reasons for illegal circulation of counterfeit drugs in China are as follows as drug circulation regulation absence of foreign-funded medical institutions,the existence of hidden drug circulation monitoring holes in urban medical institutions,under-developed and weak ability of distinguishing talse drug information internet counterfeit drugs sales regulatory means. It is suggested to establish drug management norms for for-eign-funded medical institutions,improve drug circulation monitoring in primary medical institutions,establish pharmaceutical logis-tics(transportation)licensing system and strengthen online fake drug sale information monitoring and information publication.

BACKGROUND:Creation of a precise finite element model is an important basis for the finite element mechanical analysis of the spine. The reports on the precise finite element model are less.
OBJECTIVE:To create L 3-L 5 lumbar three-dimensional finite element model and validate this model with normal CT data.
METHODS:A 39-year-old male healthy volunteer with the height of 175 cm and weighted 65 kg was selected, then the L 3-L 5 lumbar spines were scanned with 16 row spiral CT to obtain 101 CT images with the thickness of 1.25 mm. Solid geometric model was established with Geomagic9.0 software, then determined the unit type,
divided the finite element mesh, and established the finite element model for loading and calculating.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A L 3-L 5 lumbar three-dimensional finite element model was established. It
included 213 736 nodes and 799 779 elements. The ranges of motion of L 3-L 4 and L 4-L 5 segments of the model were consistent with cadaveric biomechanical testing results, verified the effectiveness of the model, so the
model could be used for experimental research.

Application of a number of philosophical ideas is instructive in eliminating the opposition on the doctors'right to inform and the patients right to being informed,building a harmonious relations between doctors and patients and correctly understanding and carrying out the informed consent.

Purpose:To study the molecular mechanism that d etermines the cell cycle differences between human giant-cell carcinoma cell st rains 95C and 95D. Methods:FACscan was used to analyze the cell cycle of 95C and 9 5D cells, and the proliferation ability of 95C and 95D cells was measured by MTT assay. We further detected the expression levels of cell cycle factors by Weste rn blotting. Results:Our data showed that the proliferation ability of 95D c ells is higher than that of 95C cells, and that the cell number in S phase of 95 D cells is much larger than that of 95C cells. We further found that the express ion level of p27 in 95D cell is lower than that of 95C cells. In addition, the e xpression levels of CDK2 and p-RB of 95D cells are higher than that of 95C cell s. Conclusions:Our results indicated that low expression level of p27 lead to the increased proliferation ability of 95D cells, which might reflec t the progression of human lung cancer cells in cell cycle facets.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of plasma presepsin levels in patients with sepsis. Methods 92 patients who were admitted to the ICU of the affiliated hospital of Jiangsu University from October 2011 to March 2013 and 30 age-matched healthy controls were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into three groups: sepsis, SIRS, and control. Plasma presepsin and serum procalcitonin (PCT) were measured, APACHEⅡscore were calculated at enrollment, and ROC curve was used to analyze the performance index for the diagnosis of sepsis. Results Serum levels of presepsin, PCT and APACHEⅡscore were significantly higher in the death group than in the SIRS group and the control group (P<0.01). Serum levels of presepsin and PCT were higher in the sepsis group than in the SIRS group and the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant statistical difference between the SIRS group and the sepsis group in the APACHEⅡ score (detailed in table 1). Level of plasma presepsin was significantly correlated with serum PCT (r = 0.82); plasma presepsin level was related with the APACHEⅡ score (r = 0.69). The area under the curve (AUC) of presepsin was 0.908 (95%CI 0.848~0.967), greater than the AUC of PCT 0.862 (95%CI 0.787~0.937). The cutoff value of presepsin for discrimination of bacterial and nonbacterial infectious diseases was determined to be 629 pg/mL, of which the clinical sensitivity and specificity were 68.6% and 90%, respectively; when the cutoff value of PCT was 1.98 ng/mL, the clinical sensitivity and specificity were 92%and 65%. Conclusions Level of presepsin increases in patients with sepsis, and an elevated presepsin may suggest the severity of sepsis.

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is the inhalation of 100% oxygen at a pressure higher than one atmosphere absolute (ATA),and has been used as an auxiliary therapy for various skin diseases.It has been proved that HBO can increase the oxygen content in skin tissues,accelerate aerobic metabolism of skin,promote epithelial regeneration and wound healing,relieve adverse stimuli on peripheral nerves and sensors in the skin,inhibit apoptosis of neurons,enhance the function of regulatory T cells,alleviate inflammation,and mobilize vascular stem/progenitor cells (SPCs) from the bone marrow to peripheral blood and ulcer tissues.At present,HBO has been widely applied in the auxiliary treatment of psoriasis,atopic dermatitis,postberpetic neuralgia,chronic refractory cutaneous ulcer,pyoderma gangrenosum,fungal infection,vascular embolization after cosmetic facial filling,and some other skin diseases.

Objective To observe the effectiveness of Chinese herbal medicine plus movement therapy in treating upper limb spasticity in hemiplegic patients. Methods Sixty-six patients were divided randomly into two groups. Thirty-five patients in the therapy group were treated with Chinese herbal medicine and movement therapy, and 31 patients in the control group were treated with movement therapy alone. The modified Ashworth scale and sur- face electromyography were applied to evaluate spasticity. Results The total effectiveness rates were 94.3% in the therapy group and 64.5% in the control group. After treatment, the average integrated electromyogram (IEMG) val- ue in the therapy group was lower than that in the control group. The difference in IEMG values before and after treat- ment in the therapy group was significantly larger than in the control group. Conclusion Chinese herbal medicine plus movement therapy is more effective than movement therapy alone in relieving spasticity.
