The within day and between day accuracies are 1.4% of RSD(n=6) and 1.8% of RSD (n=4), respectively.Conclusion: The results showed that water, methanol and alcohol extracts of Rhizoma Paridis and Yunnan white had strong inhibition on 6 kinds of neoplasm cells of human body and their component Grarillin also had the inhibition on tumor cells.

The effects of E-cadherin-transfected neural stem cells (NSCs) transplantation for spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats were investigated. Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into model control group, NSCs group, empty plasmid group and E-cadherin overexpression group (n=15 each). The animal SCI model was established by using the modified Allen's method. NSCs were cultured. Rats in NSCs group were subjected to NSCs transplantation. E-cadherin gene eucaryotic expression vector and pcDNA3.1-E-cadherin were respectively transfected into cultured NSCs, serving as empty plasmid group and E-cadherin overexpression group respectively. At 7th day after transplantation, neurological function of all rats was assessed by Tarlov score. After rats were sacrificed in each group, the number of BrdU and Nestin positive cells was counted by immunohistochemistry. Immumofluorescence method was used to detect the expression of neurofilament protein (NF) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). As compared with model control group, the Tarlov score and the number of of BrdU and Nestin positive cells, and the expression of NF and GFAP in NSCs group, empty plasmid group, and E-cadherin overexpression group were increased significantly (P<0.05), and those in the E-cadherin overexpression group were increased more significantly than the other transplantation groups (P<0.05). It was suggested that E-cadherin could be conductive to nerve regeneration and repair probably by promoting the proliferation and differentiation of NSCs.

OBJECTIVE:To improve rational drug use and reduce potentially inappropriate medication (PIM). METHODS:PIM of 700 elderly inpatients in internal medicine department of our hospital was evaluated by Beers criteria(2012 edition)and STOPP/START criteria. RESULTS:700 inpatients whose mean ages were (76.3 ± 7.2) years old took (12.1 ± 4.9) kinds of drugs per patient. 144 cases involved PIM(20.6%). The number of PIM was 220 in total,among which there were 117 cases/times relat-ed to drugs and 22 cases/times related to disease in according to Beers criteria,9 cases/times of STOPP and 72 cases/times of START. Drug with most frequency of PIM in accordance with Beers was benzodiazepines and most frequency in STOPP was thia-zides that used by patients with gout histonry. The most omission frequency of START prescription were absence of metformin thera-py for type 2 diabetes and absence of antiplatelet therapy for diabetes complicated with cardiovascular risk. CONCLUSIONS:A high prevalence of PIM in elderly inpatients in our hospital requires various measures to prevent its occurrence.

Quality control of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has become bottlenecks of TCM industry devel-opment and TCM international recognition. To solve the retational problems, we explored the establishment of new quality control method based on efficacy and safety. Firstly, material basis of TCM efficacy was investigated deeply and systematically. Then, quality control method based on efficacy was established by using active ingre-dients as markers. We also establish detection methods based on safety, such as pesticide residues, heavy metals and harmful elements , mycotoxins .
