Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2008;15(3):417-418
Objective To investigate the relationship between plasma homocysteine levels and lipids in aged patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods Fourty-eight cases(observation group),who had been inpatients with cerebral infarction during May 2006 to May 2007,thirty healthy people(control group)contrasted and analyzed.Results The mean plasma homocysteine level and cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),low density lipoprotein(LDL)of aged patients with acute cereral infarction were significantly,higher than those of the control group,but high density lipoprotein(HDL)was lower(P<0.01).No significant correlation between Hcy level and TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C level in serum.Conclusion Plasma homocysteine lexrel and lipids all siginificantly increased in aged patients with acute cereral infarction,and homocysteinemia is not related with lipids,but is an independent risk factor for cerebral infarction.

Objective To observe the effects and the functions of valsartan and simvastatin in early diabetic nephropathy. Methods A total of 80 patients with early diabetic nephropahy were randomly divided into two groups.The patients in control group(n=40)received valsartan at a dose of 80rag/day ,while in treated group(n=40)on the base of the same treatment as control group, added simvastatin 20 mg/everyrfight. To compare the differences of lipids,urine albumin excretion rate(UAER) and C-reactive protein(CRP) before or after treatments through 12 weeks. Re-sults The UAER of two groups decreased obviously after therapy,especially the treated group(P<0.01) ;the lipids and CRP also decreased evidently in the treated group (P<0.05). Conclusion The lipids, UAER, CRP of patients in early diabetic nephropathy could be down-regulated,with combined medication of the simvastatin and valsartan, and the injury of renal alleviated.

OBJECTIVE:To reduce the error rate of inventory in the automated pharmacy of our hospital. METHODS:Activi-ties were designed and implemented by the management method of quality control circles(QCC)-PDCA(Plan,Do,Check and Ac-tion)cycle. The reasons for the errors of inventory in the automated pharmacy were analyzed to investigate and implement counter-measures. Visible and invisible achievements were evaluated,and then standardized processes were made. RESULTS:The errors of inventory in the automated pharmacy mainly included those of drug dispensing,drug shelving,drug return sheet,automatic medi-cine dispensing machine and system. In view of the above reasons,relevant standards were formulated and performed,including the process of warehouse-out check and shelving of drugs,drug dispensing process for the automated pharmacy,the process of sec-ondary check,etc. After the implementation of the activities,the error rate of inventory in the automated pharmacy reduced from 9.17% to 3.77%,which was visible achievement;and the above-mentioned standardized processes could ensure continuous run-ning of PDCA cycle. The practice,sense of responsibility,communication and coordination of management members in PDCA cy-cle namely invisible achievements were improved to some extent. CONCLUSIONS:The management method of QCC-PDCA cycle is feasible in reduction of the error rate of inventory in the automated pharmacy,which can provide a reference for automated phar-macy management.

Objective To explore the mechanism and regulative function of betulin on anti-aging genes related of normol human dermal fibroblasts (ESF-1), and to reveal the repairing mechanism of betulin on wrinkles. Methods The cultured cell in vitro were divided into the control group, the estradiol group and the betulin high, medium and low dose groups. Competence of ESF-1 cells was detected by MTT. Expression of mRNA of collagen type I and Ⅲ (ColⅠand Col Ⅲ), tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase 1 and 2 (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2), matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) was detected by RT-PCR. Results Compared with the control group, the proliferation of ESF-1 cells (0.455 ± 0.037, 0.445 ± 0.040 vs. 0.385 ± 0.601) in the estradiol group and the medial-dose betulin group were increased (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the expression of mRNA of ColⅠ (0.960 ± 0.012, 0.929 ± 0.015 vs. 0.842 ± 0.014), Col Ⅲ (0.892 ± 0.009, 0.824 ± 0.022 vs. 0.768 ± 0.025), TIMP-1 (0.938 ± 0.026, 0.878 ± 0.035 vs. 0.796 ± 0.022), TIMP-2 (0.557 ± 0.025, 0.506 ± 0.036 vs. 0.436 ± 0.063) in the estradiol group and the medial-dose betulin group were increased (all P<0.01).

9. Qilin pills prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome of patients after IVF-ET by regulating plasma-related indicators
Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2020;25(2):196-202
AIM: To study the preventive effect of Qilin pill on ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and its effects on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), tissue factor (TF) and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) in plasma. METHODS: Sixty-four patients undergoing IVF-ET treated in our hospital from January 2016 to January 2019 were selected. On the day of ovulation induction injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), 32 patients with high risk factors of OHSS were randomly divided into two groups. The control group received western medicine therapy, while the observation group received extra Qilin pill. The incidence of mild to moderate OHSS, fresh cycle transplant cancellation rate, plasma VEGF, TF, TFPI levels, and clinical outcomes of patients undergoing IVF-ET (HCG positive rate, biochemical pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate) were compared between the two groups.RESULTS:There was no severe OHSS occurred in the two groups, the incidence of OHSS in the observation group (12.50%) and the cancellation rate of fresh cycle transplantation (15.63%) were lower than those in the control group (50.00%, 43.75%)(χ2=6.063,P=0.014); The levels of VEGF and TF in the observation group on the day of egg retrieval and embryo transfer were [(368±103) pg/mL, (392±91) pg/mL],[(24±4)pg/ mL,(29±4) pg/mL], which were lower than the control group [(436±117) pg/mL, (448±108) pg/mL],[(26±4) pg/mL, (31±4) pg/mL] (t=2.450,2.237,4.093,5.204,P=0.017,0.029,<0.001,<0.001); The plasma TFPI levels in the observation group on the day of egg retrieval and embryo transfer were [(73±18) ng/mL,(66±12) ng/mL], higher than the control group [(62±16)ng/mL, (58±10) ng/mL](t=2.550,3.032,P=0.014,0.004); The biochemical pregnancy rate in the observation group (8.70%) was lower than that in the control group (42.86%) (χ2=4.147, P=0.042),the clinical pregnancy rate (91.30%) was higher than that of the control group (57.14%) (χ2=4.147,P=0.042).CONCLUSION:Qilin pill can prevent the occurrence of severe OHSS after IVF-ET, reduce the occurrence of mild to moderate OHSS, decrease the cancellation rate of fresh cycle transplantation and improve the pregnancy outcome after IVF-ET; Its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the expression of VEGF, TF and TFPI.

Objective To study the pinoresinol diglucoside (PDG) on gene regulation role of ESF-1 cells in collagen secretion, to reveal PDG repair mechanisms on scalded skin.Methods The cells cultured in vitro were divided into the control group, the estradiol group and the three different PDG doses groups. The concentration of the high, medium and low dose groups were 100, 10, 1μmol/L, and that of estradiol group were 10-3μmol/L. The activity of proliferation was detected by MTT. Then collagen type I (Col I), collagen typeⅢ (ColⅢ), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) expression levels of mRNA after administration of cells were detected by RT-PCR.Results Compared with the control group, the proliferation of ESF-1 cells (0.559 ± 0.027, 0.552 ± 0.034vs. 0.489 ± 0.027,P<0.05) in the estradiol and medium-dose PDG was significantly higher. The expression level of mRNA of ColⅠ(0.958 ± 0.021, 0.929 ± 0.031, 0.916 ± 0.015vs. 0.844 ± 0.022), ColⅢ (0.783 ± 0.038, 0.918 ± 0.021, 0.855 ± 0.017vs. 0.678 ± 0.024), TIMP-1 (0.939 ± 0.025, 0.889 ± 0.036, 0.853 ± 0.015 vs. 0.780 ± 0.023), TIMP-2 (0.507 ± 0.024, 0.655 ± 0.037, 0.572 ± 0.025vs. 0.405 ± 0.062) in the estradiol, low-, medium-dose PDG groups were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Besides, the MMP-1 (0.343 ± 0.038, 0.407 ± 0.046, 0.435 ± 0.037vs.0.519 ± 0.041) mRNA expression level in the middle and low dose PDG groups significantly decrease (P<0.05 orP<0.01). Conclusions The PDG could enhance the activity of ESF-1 cell proliferation, increase the expression of related collagen and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases and inhibit that of matrix metalloproteinases to repair scalded skin.
