1.Quality and validity of randomized controlled trials in China from the perspective of systematic reviews.
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2011;9(7):697-701
A systematic review is based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and the reliability of its conclusion is closely related to the quality of original literature. The low quality of existing RCTs in China leads to the failure of conclusive findings in systematic reviews when evaluating the effectiveness of interventions. It is almost universal for systematic reviews to draw the conclusion that "further well-designed multicenter and large-scale RCTs are still required to confirm the beneficial effects of interventions". This paper analyzed the current status of RCTs in China, discussed the influence of including trials of low quality in a systematic review and assessed how a systematic review should be carried out under such circumstances. Furthermore, the methods to evaluate the quality of RCTs were introduced and evaluated. Finally, several strategies were proposed to improve the quality of RCTs in China: foster an honest academic and social environment, enhance the training of doctors on clinical research methodology, promote the implementation of clinical registration systems and strengthen the quality control of clinical research and the medical journals regulations on the quality of submitted papers.

Chinese Journal of Nursing 2009;44(12):1103-1104
Objective To explore the methods and effects of the general resident nurse on duty system,and thereby to play an effective role of skilled nurses to ensure the quality and safety of nursing.Methods Using the management experience of general resident doctors for reference,a general resident nurse on duty system was established.The general resident nurses were strictly selected,trained and examined.At the same time,the management regulations were formulated.Results This practice cultivated a general resident nurse team with well-prepared nursing knowledge,skilled techniques,good capacity to cope with emergency,which could play important roles in the guidance and quality control of clinical nursing.Conclusion The implementation of general resident nurse on duty system can help train the backbone of specialized care,reserve the force of handling emergency and improve the quality of nursing.
3.Analysis on the effect of treatment of octreotide combined with percutaneous catheter drainage on Pancreatic Pseudocyst
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2014;(24):3690-3692
Objective To observe the effect of octreotide combined with percutaneous catheter drainage on pancreatic pseudocyst ( PPC ) .Methods 89 patients choosen with PPC were randomly divided into the octreotide combined with percutaneous catheter drainage group(observation group,n=43) and octreotide group (control group, n=46).The control group were subcutaneous injected octreotide 0.1mg q 8 h.The observation group were subcutane-ous injected octreotide 0.1mg q 8 h with ultrasound or CT-guided percutaneous drainage for 4 weeks to place more drainage tubes when there were multiple cysts,drainage not free when washing drainage tube and drainage tube posi-tion adjustment.After 4 weeks rechecked the pancreas CT and curative effect was analyzed.Results The observation group cure rate and total effective rate were 65%,100%,the average hospitalization time was (16.8 ±12.1) d.The control group were 39%,85%,(26.8 ±19.4) d,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(χ2 =6.01,χ2 =7.10,t=2.89,P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Octreotide combined percutaneous catheter drainage on PPC has good curative effect,small trauma,high success rate,less complications,shorter hospitalization time.It is the preferred method for the treatment of PPC.

5.The Clinical Significance and Variation of Plasma B-Type Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels before and after Treadmill Exercise Test in Women with Coronary Heart Disease
Tianjin Medical Journal 2014;(3):248-250
Objective To observe the clinical significance and variation of plasma B-type brain natriuretic peptide (△BNP) levels before and after treadmill exercise test (TET) in women with coronary heart disease(CHD). Methods Sixty-one women with suspected coronary heart disease were selected (except for heart failure, blood BNP levels were normal). All patients underwent coronary angiography, were divided into two groups, 25 cases in normal group and 36 cases in coronary heart disease group. Plasma BNP levels were measured before and after the TET test, and data were compared between two groups after one week.Furthermore, the levels of△BNP before and after TET in patients with different degrees of coronary artery lesions were compared. The diagnostic value of the levels of△BNP in coronary heart disease was evaluated by the re-ceiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results The plasma BNP level was significantly increased after TET (44.20± 14.53) than that before the test (32.82±10.72) in coronary heart disease group (P<0.01). There were significant differences in levels of△BNP before and after TET in patients with different degrees of coronary lesions. The levels of△BNP were sig-nificantly higher in multi-vessel disease group than those of single and double lesion group (P<0.05). The level of△BNP was significantly higher in double lesion group than that of single lesion group (P < 0.05). When the level of △BNP=7.3 ng/L, the sensibility value and specificity value for the diagnosis of CHD was 82.4%and 81.5%. The area under curve (AUC) was 0.900, and 95%confidence interval was 0.796-0.962. Conclusion The detection of△BNP before and after TET has an important clinical significance in the diagnosis and evaluation of coronary heart disease in women patients.

Objective: To investigate the effects of alcohol, chitosan、 101 juice clarifying agent and ZTC natural clarifying agent on content of active components and the solid compositions in zhonglizhikang decoction. Methods: The solid compositions of different samples were determined by the methods adopted in pharmacopeia, and the chrysophanol content was determined by HPLC. Results: Chitosan has no effect on the content of chrysophanol, and solid compositions decreased by 30.8%. But alcohol、 101 juice clarifying agent and ZTC natural clayifying agent can decrease solid compositions and the content of chrysophanol. Conclusion: Chitosan can decrease solid compositions but has no effect on the content of active components.

9.Study on methodology for evaluating clinical efficacy of traditional Tibetan medicine.
China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica 2015;40(1):160-163
The evaluation on clinical efficacy of traditional Tibetan medicine (TTM) is an important scientific subject during the development of TTM. Firstly, the authors introduced the current situations and problems in evaluation on clinical efficacy of traditional Tibetan medicine both at home and abroad in this study. Secondly, they compared the similarities and differences between TTM and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in evaluation on clinical efficacy, define their differences in details but not in nature, and proposed that TTM could selectively learn TCM's experiences in clinical research and build a specific methodology system for evaluation on clinical efficacy according to its own characteristics. Thirdly, they discussed the methodological challenges in evaluation on clinical efficacy of TTM, including the pending clinical research guidelines and disease diagnosis standards according to its own characteristics. Finally, they propound some suggestions for promoting the evaluation on clinical efficacy of TTM, including the comprehensive application of multiple research methods, overall research-based evaluation on efficacy of TTM complex intervention and selection of accepted and objective outcome indexes for efficacy evaluation.

Objective To study the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on proliferating of rabbit lens epithelial cells(RLECs).Methods The second and three generations of RLECs were exposed to different concentrations of bFGF, and the proliferation characteristics of the cells were measured with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. The ultrastructure of cell were observed with transmission electron microscope (TEM).The changs of cells cycles were observed with flow cytometer (FCM).Results After the treatment of bFGF, RLECs showed the marked proliferation , especially in 10μg*L-1 of bFGF . TEM result showed that the cells were more active with bFGF, FCM result showed that the S phase cell obviously increased.Conclusion bFGF is an important factor that can promote proliferation of RLECs.
