OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for promoting the further implementation of national essential medicine system and related policies. METHODS:Hospital information system(HIS),Excel 2007 and SPSS 13.0 software were adopted to statisti-cally compare the changes in equipping the specific varieties of national essential medicines and the differences in the overall use of national essential medicines before and after implementing the National Essential Medicine System (2012 edition)(referred to NEMS,2012 edition) and cancelling drug addition policy in a public hospital in Chengdu. RESULTS:After implementing the NEMS(2012 edition),60 kinds of equipping national essential medicines increased in the hospital,including 38 kinds of chemical medicines and biological products,22 kinds of Chinese patent medicines;compared with before,the percentage of essential medi-cines to prescription drugs,prescription rate of essential medicines,average essential medicine in a single prescription and prescrip-tion rate of all essential medicines were significantly improved(P<0.05). After cancelling drug addition policy,5 kinds of equip-ping national essential medicines increased in the hospital,including 3 kinds of chemical medicines and biological products,2 kinds of Chinese patent medicines;the above-mentioned 4 indexes showed no obvious changes,with no statistical significances (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:After implementing the NEMS(2012 edition)and cancelling drug addition policy,the equipping na-tional essential medicines are still insufficient,some indexes do not meet the requirements of Sichuan Province. It is suggested that the public medical and health institution at county-level should to choose suitable national essential medicines based on its specific situation;strengthen publicity and education,improve the popularity of physicians to national essential medicine system;strengthen the assessment and management of the use of essential medicines for physicians. Meanwhile,the government and the relevant de-partments are suggested to explore more effective and reasonable compensation mechanism to improve the enthusiasm of physicians to use the national essential medicines.

BACKGROUND:The mechanism underlying Wal erian degeneration fol owing peripheral nerve injury is complex. Immune regulation on Wal erian degeneration is beneficial for early repair of perpheral nerve injury.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Tol-like receptor 4 (TLR4) antagonist on Wal erian degeneration and axonal regeneration after early peripheral nerve injury in rats.
METHODS:Fifty male Wistar rats were recruited and randomly divided into treatment group (n=20), model group (n=20) and sham group (n=10). The right sciatic nerves of rats in treatment and model groups were cut and sutured end-to-end, while the sciatic nerves of rats in sham group were only exposed. In the treatment group rats were intravenously injected with 0.15 mg/kg TAK-242 via tail vein 1 hour preoperatively and 7 days postoperatively, and the rats in the other two groups were given intravenous injection of the same volume of normal saline. The sciatic nerves were removed at 24 hours, 3, 4 and 7 days after surgery.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Real-time PCR indicated that the mRNA expressions of interleukin-1βand monocyte chemoattractant-1 were significantly increased in the model group compared with the sham group at 24 hours after surgery (both P<0.001), while the expressions were significantly decreased after TAK-242 injection (both P<0.001). Immunofluorescence showed that compared with the model group, down-regulated expression of CD68+and iba1+cel s appeared in the treatment group at 3 days after surgery (P<0.01, P<0.05). Luxol fast blue staining revealed that demyelination at the sciatic nerve stump appeared in both model and treatment groups at postoperative 7 days, but myelin debris clearance in the treatment group was significantly reduced compared with the model group (P<0.05). Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that a lot of inflammatory cel s, Schwann cells and regenerated nerve fibers at the sciatic nerve stump were found in the model group, while there were few inflammatory cells, Schwann cel s and regenerated nerve fibers in the treatment group at 7 days after surgery. Immunohistochemistry found that the expression of growth-associated protein-43 in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the model group at 4 days postoperatively (P<0.05). Besides, compared with the model group, a significantly decreased sciatic functional index was found in the treatment group at 20, 30 and 40 days after surgery (P<0.05). These results show that TLR4 antagonists delay early nerve regeneration in rats after sciatic nerve injury probably by inhibiting the TLR4 signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the levels and the clinical signficance of matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) in different activities of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods:Case-control study. A total of 130 patients [24 cases of male, 106 cases of female, age (52.98±13.24)years, the median age was 51 years] with RA diagnosed in the Department of Rheumatology from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Suzhou Ninth People′s Hospital from 2017 to 2018, and 100 healthy controls [28 cases of male, 72 cases of female, age (45.04±11.55) years, the median age was 44 years] from the physical examination center of the Suzhou Ninth People′s Hospital. The basic clinical data was used to determine the MMP-3 on groups of RA patients and healthy controls by immunoturbidimetry. The discriminating validity of MMP-3 in disease was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.Results:Compared with that in healthy controls[28.0 (21.7-36.1)ng/mL], the MMP-3 in the low groups [51.8(41.8-73.1)ng/mL] increased dramatically ( Z=2.942, P<0.01). However, there was no significant difference between the MMP-3 in remission patients [28.8 (21.9-38.7)ng/mL] compared with the healthy controls ( Z=1.09, P>0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of MMP-3 for diagnosis of RA was 0.877. the sensitivity was 73.1%, and the specificity was 93%.The AUC of MMP-3 diagnosis of low groups was 0.906, the sensitivity was 77.8%, and the specificity was 88%. In addition, the MMP-3 level was correlated with CRP and ESR ( r=0.242, r=0.243), and it was significantly correlated with DAS 28 ( r=0.361). Conclusions:It was indicated that the level of MMP-3 increased with the severity of rheumatoid arthritis. And the clinically low level of MMP-3 in RA patients could be used to indicate the remission condition. Meanwhile, the serum MMP-3 was closely related to DAS28.

Objective:To summarize the clinical manifestation and imaging of superficial siderosis of the central nervous system and explore the potential etiology.Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 7 patients diagnosed as superficial siderosis of the central nervous system in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from May 2013 to November 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. The etiology and follow-up prognosis through phone call were analyzed.Results:There were 7 patients included (3 male and 4 female) with an average age of 53 years (41-58 years). The cardinal manifestations were sensorineural deafness (all 7 cases), cerebellar ataxia (all 7 cases) and pyramidal signs (all 7 cases). Dizziness (6 cases), bladder disturbance (5 cases), headache (3 cases), double vision (2 cases) and congnitive impairment (1 case) could also happen. Magnetic resonance imaging showed symmetrical well-defined curvilinear homogeneous low signal on T 2 or blood-sensitive sequences (T 2* gradient echo or susceptibility-weighted imaging) over the superficial surface of cerebellar, brain stem, and spinal cord or cranio-cervical junction. All the 7 patients showed cerebellar atrophy especially the upper vermis. The potential causes included trauma history in 3 cases, intraspinal fluid-filled collection which indicated dural defect or duropathologies in 3 cases, intraspinal mass in 1 case and vertebral and disc degeneration in all 7 patients. The 5 patients who successsfully got follow-up showed exacerbation of variable degree. Conclusions:Classical superficial siderosis of the central nervous system is a rare disease with cardinal manifestation of progressive ataxia, sensorineural deafness and pyramidal signs. T 2WI of magnetic resonance imaging showing low signal over the superficial surface of cerebellar, brain stem, and spinal cord could indicate the diagnosis, and blood-sensitive sequences such as T 2* gradient echo or susceptibility-weighted imaging were more sensitive. Duropathologies or dural defect may be the most probable causes of the disease and should be examined and treated carefully.

Objective:To investigate the serum level of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C) in elderly patients (age≥65 years) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the its predictive value in evaluatingthe risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascularevents in elderly patients with T2DM.Methods:In this retrospective study,386 elderly patients with T2DM were collected from December 2014 to December 2016, the averageage was (72.7±5.4) years old, including 269 males and 117 females; 92 of whom had cardiovascular events during follow-up, the averageage was (72.9 ± 5.2) years old, including 65 males and 27 females, and serum sdLDL-C level was detected. Meanwhile, biomarkers such as lipoprotein (a), apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein AI and hypersensitive c-reactive protein were analyzedin all the patients.Univariate and multivariate factors were used to analyze the relationship between each variable and the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. The correlation between LDL-C, sdLDL-C of all subjects with age and other lipid indexes were analyzed. ROC curve was used to determine the predictive value of sdLDL-C elevation for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in elderly patients with T2DM.Results:The levels of LDL-c, sdLDL-C, non-HDL-C, GLU, HbA1c and ApoB were significantly higher in theCardio-cerebral vascular event group ( t=3.26, 3.46, 2.91, 2.47, 4.03, 3.00, P<0.05). While the levels of apolipoprotein AI was significantly lower than those in theNon-cardio-cerebral vascular event group ( t=-2.39, P<0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that sdLDL-C per 10 mg/dl was independently correlated with the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events( HR 1.281, 95 %CI 1.225-16.032, P<0.01)after adjusted for age. SdLDL-C was positively correlated with TG, non-HDL-C and ApoB ( r=0.323, 0.588, 0.623, P<0.01) and was negativelycorrelated correlation with age, HDL-C and apolipoprotein AI ( r=-0.363, -0.301, P<0.01), ROC curve analysis showed that sdLDL-C had a strong ability to predict the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (AUC=0.736, 95 %CI 0.554 9-0.918 2, P=0.003), while HbA1c also had a strong ability to predict the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events(AUC=0.725, 95 %CI 0.524 3-0.927 3, P=0.006). Combined sdLDL-C with HbA1had the strong ability to predict the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (AUC=0.837, 95 %CI 0.711 4-0.973 5, P=0.001). Conclusions:The elevation of serum sdLDL-C in elderly patients with T2DM wasa significantly independentrisk factorof cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Serum sdLDL-C had a higher clinical value than LDL-C, which was expected to be the most effective predictor of lipid profile in riak assessment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in elderly patients with T2DM.
