OBJECTIVE: To invest igate the intraction between China ’s foreign economic trade and pharmaceutical manufacturing industry ,in order to provide the reference for China ’s foreign economic trade growth and pharmaceutical manufacturing industry development in the future. METHODS :By collecting the data of China ’s foreign economic trade and pharmaceutical manufacturing industry during 1998-2018 issued by National Bureau of Statistics ,China Statistics Yearbook on High Technology Industry and China Statistics Yearbook on Scientific Technology ,referring to relevant literature method ,index system was established that includes the foreign economic trade system and the pharmaceutical manufacturing system. CRITIC method was adopted to assign the weight of data index and calculate comprehensive evaluation data. VAR model was used to analyze the interaction between China ’s foreign economic trade and pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and put forward the suggestions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS :From the results of cointegration test ,foreign economic trade development played a strong role in promoting and driving pharmaceutical manufacturing industry development (correlation coefficient was 0.432 198);from the results of Granger causality test ,the development of foreign economic trade was the Granger cause for pharmaceutical manufacturing industry development (confidence probability was lower than 0.001),but the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry development was not the Granger ’s reason for foreign economic trade (confidence probability was 0.358). By the results of impulse response and variance decomposition ,it reflected an interrelationship between the two ,but the contribution of foreign economic trade to the development of pharmaceutical manufacturing is relatively small. It is suggested that China ’s pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises should grasp the market demand and trade opportunities in time ,and further expand the scale of business by providing high quality pharmaceutices products ;make full use of new trade mode and speed up the circulation of pharmaceutical products in economic and trade activities so as to further expand the domestic and foreign markets of pharmaceutical products ;the state should formulate and improve the preferential and supporting policies for pharmaceutical manufacturing industry as soon as possible to reduce the burden for pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprises. In addition ,from the national level and the enterprise level ,we should appropriately increase the investment in scientific research of pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and increase industry cultiration,so as to promote the rapid development of pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and realize a virtuous circle of mutual promotion of foreign economic trade and pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.

Objective:To explore the value of echo-planar imaging correction (EPIC) for improving image quality of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of cervical cord.Methods:A total of 33 subjects (20 males, 13 females) were scanned on a 3.0 T MR scanner from January to March 2022, and the sequences included T 1WI, DWI and DTI (with and without corrections). Two observers delineated the regions of interest (ROIs) on the fused images of DWI and DTI with T 1WI before and after correction, and measured the average diffusion coefficient (ADC), fractional anisotropy (FA), and offset distance of ROIs between images with and without corrections. The subjective scores of image quality were also evaluated. The ICC or Kappa was used to test the consistency of the quantitative measurement and subjective scores by the two observers. The average values by the two observers would be used for subsequent analysis. The independent pair t-test and Wilcoxon test were used for comparison of objective measurements and Mann-Whitney U test was used for subjective image assessments between images with and without corrections. Results:The measurement data and the subjective scores of the two observers were in good agreement (ICC 0.912-0.999, Kappa 0.778-0.816). The independent sample t-test showed the subjective scores were significantly different for the DWI and DTI images between before and after geometry and/or ADC corrections. The ADC values of C6, the offset distances measured by DWI before and after correction of C4, C5, and C6 and subjective scores were significantly different ( P<0.05); The FA values of C1 and C3, ADC values of C1 and C3, offset distance of C4, C5 and C6 measured by DTI before and after correction and subjective scores were statistically significant ( P<0.001). Conclusion:EPI geometry correction and ADC value correction can significantly reduce geometric distortion, increase image quality, and thus improve the diagnosis accuracy of essential diseases.

China Pharmacy 2019;30(24):3342-3349
OBJECTIVE: To provide reference for reducing the harm of expired drugs to public health, improving the technical level of drug recovery, and realizing the green recycling economy of drugs. METHODS: The literatures analysis and field investigation is conducted to analyze the development status and the main problems in the construction of the reverse supply chain of expired drugs. According to the technical characteristics of block chain, the feasibility of building the reverse supply chain of expired drugs is analyzed. In order to verify the feasibility of the application of block chain technology in the construction of the expired drug reverse supply chain, this paper attempts to build the expired drug reverse supply chain from the perspective of block chain, and uses the system dynamics method to build a simulation model for each participant in the drug reverse supply chain and its operationing efficiency. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: The reverse supply chain of expired drugs constructed by the block chain technology could effectively solve the main problems of the reverse supply chain of expired drugs in China, such as many levels of participants, high logistics cost, low level of information. The simulation results showed when using block chain technology, the recovery efficiency and recovery quantity of each participant in the supply chain were significantly increased. The recovery efficiency of consumers and retailers increased from 20% to 83%, and those of distributors and manufacturers increased from 40% and 50% to 83%, respectively. The recovery quantity of each participant also increased significantly with the increase of recovery efficiency. In the actual construction of the reverse supply chain of expired drugs, the enterprises involved in the drug supply chain should be taken as the leading role, and the multi-party participation of government agencies, industry platforms and consumers should be emphasized. Drug supply chain participating enterprises should use block chain technology to strengthen information communication between enterprises, establish an efficient information platform, and promote and guide consumers to actively participate in the construction of the reverse supply chain of expired drugs. The government should give full play to the guiding role of policy and strengthen the policy guarantee; the industry platform should learn from international advanced cases to form industry standards for the recovery process of expired drugs; consumers should fully understand the hazards of expired drugs and actively participate in the recovery of expired drugs.

OBJECTIVES:
Human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) are important source of periodontal tissue reconstruction. Under chronic inflammation, the multi-directional differentiation potential and chemotaxis in hPDLCs are decreased. Therefore, inhibiting inflammatory microenvironment and improving the functional characteristics of stem cells can better promote periodontal tissue reconstruction. This study was to investigate the effect of astaxanthin (AST) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in hPDLCs and the underlying mechanisms.
METHODS:
hPDLCs were isolated and cultured in vitro, and vimentin and keratin immunocytochemical staining were used to identify hPDLCs. CCK-8 assay was used to measure the effects of AST (1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 μmol/L) on proliferation of hPDLCs. Quantitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) and ELISA were used to measure the mRNA and protein expression of inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α) in the control (Con) group, the LPS group, and the LPS+AST (5, 10, 20, and 50 μmol/L) group. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of IKBα, phosphorylated IKBα (p-IKBα), and p65 in the Con group, the LPS group, the AST (20 μmol/L) group, and the LPS+AST (20 μmol/L) group. After 10 μmol/L PDTC treatment, the mRNA and protein expressions of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α were detected by RT-qPCR and ELISA.
RESULTS:
Cell morphology and immunocytochemical staining showed that the cells were in line with the characteristics of hPDLCs. Treatment with AST could promote the proliferation of hPDLCs, which reached the peak at 20 μmol/L. The mRNA and protein expressions of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α in the LPS group were higher than those in the Con group (all
CONCLUSIONS
AST promotes the proliferation of hPDLCs, which is related to suppression of LPS-induced the secretion of inflammatory factors via inhibiting the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway.
