OBJECTIVE:To provide basic industrial research and development recommendations for the supply-side structural reform in drug distribution in China. METHODS:Structure-conduct-performance(SCP)analysis paradigm from Harvard was used for in-depth study of market structure,business conduct and business performance in China since 2010. RESULTS:Since 2010, drug distribution industry in China had shown the scale of decline in the growth rate,low market concentration,increased barriers to entry,the leading of state-owned capital,etc. Though corporate mergers and acquisitions and public financing expanded the scale,management information,third-party logistics,Internet+and pharmacy alliance business model flourished,the industry op-erating performance was poor,state-owned enterprises showed poor performance. CONCLUSIONS:The transformation and upgrad-ing of the industry business model should be promoted by targetedly accelerating the supply-side structural reforms in the drug distri-bution industry,encouraging corporate finance mergers,breaking local protectionism,developing cooperative pharmacies and phar-maceutical third-party logistics alliances and leveraging the Internet.
3.Communication between clinicians and laboratorians in semen analysis.
National Journal of Andrology 2015;21(5):387-390
By direct communication between clinicians and laboratorians, obstacles between clinical work and laboratory diagnosis were unequivocally found at an academic conference. Many clinical physicians feel disappointed and frustrated at the laboratory diagnosis by semen analysis and frankly express their expectations, as to recognize the role and significance of laboratory diagnosis, understand the value of routine semen analysis, work out the puzzles in the analysis of sperm morphology, fulfil the requirements for the identification of cells in semen, and obtain responses from and initiate discussions among laboratorians about the relevant questions. Both laboratorians and clinicians are appealing for strengthened management and earlier establishment of national standards and operating specifications for laboratory diagnosis by semen analysis.

Objective To investigate the influence of genistein(Gen) on the growth and apoptosis regulation of hepatoma carcinoma cells SMMC-7721.Methods SMMC-7721 cells were divided into three Gen groups treated with different concentrations(5.0,10.0,20.0 mg?L-1) and control group(without Gen).After SMMC-7721 cells were treated for 24 and 48 h,the changes of ultrastructure of cells were observed under electron microscope, MTT was used to detect the inhibitory rate of proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells,flow cytometry was performed to analyze cell phase;immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of Caspases-3 protein.Results Compared with control group,chromatin in cellular nucleus became conglomeration or lumping,with chondriosome swelling in Gen groups.With the increasing of Gen concentration,the cellular nucleus became condensed,heterochromatin agglutinating,ground cytoplasm obviously cavitating;with the increase of Gen concentration and prolongation of time,from 24 to 48 h,MTT showed the inhibitory rate of proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells increased in a time-and dose-dependent manner.Flow cytometry analysis showed that with the increase of Gen concentration,the number of cells at G2/M phase increased,the number of cells at S phase decreased and the ratio of G0/G1 also decreased.Immunohistochemistry results showed the expression of protein Caspases-3 increased with the Gen concentration in a dose-dependent manner(P

Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2007;0(01):-
[objective] To investigate the effects of curcumin on the behavior of chronic constrictive injury(CCI)rats and the c-fos expression in spinal cord dorsal horn.[Methods]108 male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:Control group(treated with CCI);Sham operation group;Solvent contrast group;Curcumin treated group.Thermal withdrawal latency(TWL)and mechanical withdrawal threshold(MWT)of rats were determined by Hargreave's thermal radiation apparatus and von Frey's method of microfilament,respectively.The time course of expression of c-fos were assessed by immunohistochemical analysis.[Results]Curcumin could significantly attenuate the activation of c-fos induced by CCI and simultaneously ameliorate thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia induced by CCI.[Conclusion]This study shows that curcumin could attenuate the activation of c-fos to ameliorate the CCI-induced neuropathic pain.

Objective To investigate the curative effects of oxalic acid Ai Sciplan in assisting psychological therapy for coronary heart disease accompanied with depression. Methods A total of 136 patients of coronary heart disease with de?pression were randomly divided into control group and treatment group. The routine drug treatment was given to control group. Treatment group was given oxalic acid Ai Sciplan which is assisted by the psychological therapy based on the routine drug treatment schedule for six months. HAMD score before treatment, one-week, one-month, 3-month and 6-month after treatment were compared between two groups. Homocysteine (Hcy) and high sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were detected by circulating enzymatic method before treatment and 6-month after treatment. The WHO quality of life scale (WHOQOL-BREF) was used to assess the quality of life in two groups of patients. The improvements of angina and depressive symptoms were evaluated after 6-month treatment. The cardiovascular events were followed up in two groups. Re?sults HAMD scores significantly decreased after treatment in both groups (P < 0.05). HAMD scores at all different time points were significantly lower after treatment than those before treatment in treatment group. In control group, HAMD scores at different time points were also significantly lower after treatment than those before treatment, except time point of one week after treatment. The levels of Hcy and hs-CRP were decreased after treatment in two groups, and the levels were lower in treatment group than those of control group. Values of WHOQOL-BREF score, mental status, social relations and the sur?rounding environment scores were higher after treatment in both groups. Also they are higher in treatment group than that of control group. The angina and depressive symptoms were improved in treatment group. The incidences of angina, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, heart failure, sudden cardiac death and other cardiovascular events were significantly lower in treat?ment group than those of control group (χ2=9.396, P<0.05). Conclusion Escitalopram oxalate combined with psychological therapy shows a significant beneficial effect and a better prognosis in the treatment of coronary heart disease and depression.

Objective To evaluate the usefulness of diffusion-weighted MR combined with routine T2 WI in finding the possible residual foci in uterine cervical cancers after radical chemo-radiation therapy.Methods This was a retrospective study including 25 consecutive cervical cancer patients who received hysterectomy after radical chemo-radiation therapy.All of them underwent MR examinations post-chemoradiation and just before operation.Images of T2 WI alone and those of T2 WI combining DWI were evaluated respectively by 2 senior radiologists,in order to decide whether there were residual tumors.ADC values were also measured.Taking the post-operation pathological results as the gold standard,the accuracies,sensitivities and specificities of T2 WI alone,T2 WI combining DWI,and ADC values were all calculated.Results In those 25 patients,9 were found with foci of residual cancer in operative pathology,while no cancer cells were found in the other 1 6 patients.The accuracy,sensitivity and specificity in finding the positive residual cancer using T2 WI alone were 56.0%,77.8% and 43.8%,comparing with 72.0%,66.7% and 75.0% in T2 WI combining DWI.The accuracy and specificity increased with statistical significance after combining DWI (P =0.01 6 for accuracy,P =0.031 for specificity),while the sensitivity decreased but did not reach statistically significant level (P =0.099).No difference in ADC values was found.Conclusion DWI can be used as a supplementary sequence in finding the existence of residual tumors of cervical cancer after radical chemo-radiation therapy.Routine T2 WI combing DWI increased the specificity and accuracy,but still facing the risk of decreasing sensitivity.
