Objective To evaluate the value of CYRTA21-1,CEA and SPECT in diagnosis of bone metastasis in lung cancer.Methods 216 patients with lung cancer were examined by radionuclide bone imaging and serum CYFRA21-1,CEA.20 patients with benign lung disease were also studied.Results 121 of the 216 lung cancer patients were confirmed bone metastasis including 101 multi-metastasis and 20 singu- lar-metastasis. The positive rate was 56.02 %.The serum CYFR21-1,CEA level and positive rate of lung cancer patients with bone metastasis were obviously higher than those of patients without bone metastasis or with benign lung disease.The level of serum CYFR21-1,CEA had significant difference(P

Objective To explore the effects of aging on NO cGMP pathway and sexual hormone in penile tissue of different age rats. Methods The nitric oxide(NO) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate(cGMP) contents, nitric oxide synthase(NOS) activity in penile tissue and testosterone(T) and luteinizing hormone(LH) contents in blood of rats of different ages(2, 8, 16 and 24 months) were detected. Results With age increasing, ① The NO content of penile tissue firstly rose(8 months, the highest ) then dropped (24 months, the lowest), being the same as the variation of NOS( P

OBJECTIVE:To improve hospital's drug control level.METHODS:Quantized medicine provision management aims like stock limit,conformity rate of object-account of single category,medicine loss,mistake rate of recipe preparation,etc.were made and enforced.RESULTS:Through the above aims,medicine stock has been reduced effectively;the conformity rate of object-account has been increased;the medicine loss and incidences of mistakes in recipe preparation have been decreased.CONCLUSION:Working out feasible medicine provision management aims is an effective way to strengthen drug control.

OBJECTIVE:To carry out the ISO9001standard quality control system in the department of pharmacy.METHODS:The procedures and methods of PDCA cycle(Plan-Do-Check-Action)were applied to our department's ISO9001quality authentication standardization.RESULTS:The application of PDCA cycle-based ISO9001standards proved to be successful in the standardization of our department.CONCLUTION:The ISO9001quality authentication following the PDCA cycle is effective.

OBJECTIVE: To implement scientific drug control in inpatient dispensary by means of “Army No.1” system and to establish digitalized drug quality control system. METHODS: The “Army No.1” network system was put into wide operation in our hospital to establish interconnection among doctor workstation, nurse workstation and pharmacy workstation. Hence, the central dispensing mode was established. RESULTS: The operation of Army No.1 system not only relieved the workload of both clinic and pharmacy, increased whose working efficiency and transparency but also reduced overstock and run-off of drugs and enforced drug monitoring; meanwhile it facilitate the carrying out of pharmaceutical care and evaluation of drug utilization. CONCLUSIONS: Central dispensing mode in inpatient dispensary drug control by means of “Army No.1” system is advisable and which deserves generalization.

OBJECTIVE:To improve the management on drug supply in our hospital by using the Six sigma method. METHODS: The quality control of the management on drug supply is achieved by practicing the five steps of Six sigma: concept, measurement, analysis, improvement and control. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: Six sigma method did effectively bring down the defect rate of drug supply from 6.66% before the introduction of the method to 0.59% after and raise the degree of satisfaction to the work of medicine provision from 80% before the introduction of the method to 95% after.

Objective To explore the roles and possible mechanism of calcium-sensing receptor(CaSR) in cell cardiac hypertrophy model using angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ ).Methods The cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes were treated with Ang Ⅱ as cell cardiac hypertrophy model.Hypertrophic neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were treated with GdCl3(a specific agonist of CaSR) and/or with Ro318220(a specific inhibitor of PKC pathway).To evaluate the status of cardiac hypertrophy,cell diameter was observed by HE dyeing,and protein content was determined through coomassie brilliant blue protein kit.The intracellular calcium concentration( [ Ca2+]i) was determined by laser scanning confocal microscope.The protein expression of CaSR and PKC pathway were analyzed using Western blotting.Results ①Compared to the control group(0.1263 ± 0.0443),the protein expression of CaSR was increased in Ang Ⅱ group and in GdCl3 group(0.1963 ± 0.0375,0.2778 ± 0.0564,all P＜ 0.05).Moreover,compared with Ang Ⅱ alone,the increase was significant in GdCl3 group(P ＜ 0.05).②Compared to control group(222.70 ± 22.09),AngⅡ group(392.16 ± 36.85) remarkably increased [Ca2+]i(P＜ 0.05),and this increase of [Ca2+]i was further enhanced in GdCl3 group (502.60 ± 44.21) versus Ang Ⅱ group (P ＜ 0.05).③Compared to control group,Ang Ⅱ could induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy,and GdCl3 enhanced the effect.Moreover,this enhancement was attenuated by Ro318220.④Compared to control group(0.27 ± 0.07,0.69 ± 0.06,0.87 ± 0.04),the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε and PKCδ was increased in Ang Ⅱ group(0.60 ± 0.16,1.02 ± 0.13,1.20 ± 0.18,all P＜ 0.05) and the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε was increased in GdCl3 group(0.82 ± 0.16,1.34 ± 0.12,all P ＜ 0.05).Moreover,compared with Ang Ⅱ group,the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε was obviously increased in GdCl3 group (all P ＜ 0.05);compared with GdCl3 group,the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε(0.41 ± 0.10,0.85 ± 0.14) was obviously decreased in Ro318220 group(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions CaSR is involved in cardiac hypertrophy induced by Ang Ⅱ through PKC pathway in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.

OBJECTIVE:To establish quality control system by using modern scientific idea and advanced method in in?patient pharmacy.METHODS:Under the situation o f running authentication of ISO9001quality control system in our department,inpatient pharmacy should take the patients as focus to offer good and normative services to patients and clinical departments and continue to make our work better.RESULTS&CONCLUSION:Implementation of ISO9001quality control system has standardized the management of quality of inpatient pharmacy as well as increased the patients'satisfaction.And satisfactory social and economical benefits have been obtained and self-perfect and continuous improvement have been realized in the inpatient pharmacy.
