OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for reasonable and safe use of drugs in children. METHODS:580 prescription drug instructions of chemical drugs and chemical product for treatment were collected from our hospital. Children information stated in drug instruction of exclusive drugs for children and special drugs,and in dosage and usage,clinical trial,pharmacokinetics and other items were all analyzed statistically ratio analysis and sequence analysis. RESULTS:The exclusive drugs for children were few,and major dosage form were injection. The instruction of special drugs were lack of children’s information. Usage and dosage based on monotonous evidence. The pharmacokinetic parameters were incomplete,and there were slender amount of data about chil-dren clinical trials. CONCLUSIONS:The drug instruction of drugs for children are looking blue. It is urgent to standard drug in-struction and complete medication information for children,so as to ensure safe and effective of drug use.

Objective: To investigate the protective effect of shenduqing Granules on chronic renal insufficiency in rats. Methods: The rat model of chronic renal insufficiency was made by feeding 0.75% adenine forage. The blood biochemical indexes, ion concentration in serum of rat was measured and the pathological changes of rat kidney were observed. Results: Shenduqing Granules obviously increased thymus index (TI). The weight of rat kidney in the treatment group was lighter than that of the model group. The kidney histomorphological study showed that Shenduqing Granules obvionsly reduce the pathological changes. The drug crystals were also reduced. Conclusion: Shenduqing Granules has the potential protection against chronic renal insufficiency in rats.

Objective: To study the effect of arsenic trioxide (As 2O 3) on human pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis (mainly early stage) in vitro . Methods: SW1990 cells line were treated with As 2O 3 at different concentration. Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT and apoptosis by Annexin Ⅴ fluostaining, electron microscopy, flow cytometry and immunocytochemical staining of Bcl 2 and Bax. Results: As 2O 3 and cisplatin had the same cytotoxity on SW1990. The cytotoxic effect on tumor cell was produced by induction of apoptosis. Twelve hours after culture with 10 ?g/ml As 2O 3, much more SW1990 cells went into apoptosis than the control. The apoptosis rate reached 24% after 48 h with the similar concentration of As 2O 3. Immunohistochemical study revealed that the expression of Bcl 2 was decreased after treated with As 2O 3. Conclusion: As 2O 3 can depress the proliferation of SW1990 in vitro , mainly through the induction of apoptosis, and it is a potential agent for pancreatic cancer chemotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Bone sialoprotein (BSP) gene is expressed in human breast cancer cells, in which bone metastasis occurs easily outside the mineralized tissue. Clinical observation shows that the expression level of BSP of breast cancer cells at bone metastasis is higher that at the primary site;therefore, BSP may be closely related to tumor specific bone metastasis.The study on breast cancer bone metastasis can provide new drug target for clinical prevention and treatment.OBJECTIVE: To establish breast cancer cell strains of BSP with stable expression and observe the effect of BSP in the whole process of breast cancer bone metastasis.DESIGN: Controlled experiment.SETTING: College of Biological Sciences and Engineering, South China University of Science and Technology; Medical Experiment Center,Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: This experiment was conducted in the Medical Experimental Center,Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA,betweer November 2003 and March 2004..pIRES2-EGFP vector (5.3 kb) was purchased from BD Biosciences Clontech Inc.; E.Coli.Top10, pB-hBSP plasmid containing the coding region of hbsp, and human breast carcinoma cells, MDA-MB-231BR that was specifically transferred to brain and MDA -MB-231BO that was specifically transferred to bone.METHODS: hbsp gene was subcloned from pB-hBSP vector by PCR. Bg1Ⅱ and Pst Ⅰ restriction enzyme sites were inserted at 5' and 3' ends, orientation cloned to eukaryon expression vector pIRES2-EGFP, and constructed recombinant vector pIRES2-EGFP. The constructed recombinant vector was transfected into MDA-MB-231BR that was specifically transferred to brain and MDA-MB-231BO that was specifically transferred to bone.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Construction of pIRES2-hBSP-EGFP recombinant expression vector; recombinant expression vector pIRES2-hBSP-EGFP transfecting breast cancer cells.Breast cancer strains specific in bone metastasis and brain metastasis were successfully transfected. The fluorescence labeling could be observed under the fluorescence microscope, and BSP had corresponding expression.CONCLUSION: The successful construction and transfection of pIRES2hBSP-EGFP of eukaryon expression vector would lay foundation for further study on the role of BSP in breast cancer metastasizing to bone in vivo or in vitro.

AIM:To evaluate the availability and our experience of intraoperative image-guidance in endoscopic nasocular operation.METHODS:Seven cases of endoscopic nasal surgery with intraoperative image-guidance were retropectively reviewed,including 3 cases of optic nerve injury;3 cases of foreign object of optic behind the eyeball;1 case of retrobulbar tumor(angeioma).RESULTS:The preoperative preparatory time would take 15 minutes,including coordination,head holder localization,conventional instrument registration.In our cases,the localization accuracy between 3-D image landmarks of navigation system and actual anatomical landmarks was less than 1.3mm.The optic nerve and other anatomical points could be orientated accurately in intraoperative procedures.No complication occurred.CONCLUSION:Nasal endoscope combined with imageguidance systems provides accurate anatomical localization of anterior skull base with enlarged operation field.It is possible for surgeons to observe important anatomical structures during endoscopic surgery.It could increase the effectiveness and decrease surgical complications,especially in complicated cases.

AIM: To assess the changes of macular thickness of acquire immunodeficiency syndrome ( AIDS) patients.
METHODS:The study based on the data analysis of 38 human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV ) positive patients ( 64 eyes ) . According to CD4 count and whether cytomegalovirus retinitis ( CMVR) happened, the patients were divided into 3 groups. Group A included 16 patients (32 eyes), in which CD4 count was < 50cells/μL and CMVR did not happen. Group B included 10 patients ( 20 eyes), in which CD4 count was>50cells/μL and CMVR did not happen. Group C included 12 patients (12 eyes), in which CD4 count was < 50cells/μL and CMVR just happened. Group D included 10 healthy people ( 20 eyes ) , as normal control group. By using optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) , thickness of retina along with a 1mm diameter circle centered on macular was evaluated.
RESULTS:The mean foveal thicknesses in groups A, B, C and D were 254. 03±15. 63μm, 263. 11±17. 12μm, 304. 50±50. 62μm and 257. 64±8. 54μm in order. Compared with foveal thickness in each group, there were significant differences in general (F=12. 933, P=0. 000). The mean foveal thickness in groups CMVR increased, which was of significant difference (P= 0. 000), compared with other groups.
CONCLUSION: CMVR can impair the structure and function of macular, which then seriously affects the visual function of patients. It's helpful to understand the progress and prognosis of CMVR disease by observing macular structure with OCT in early time.

Probability of causation (PC) was used to facilitate the adjudication of compensation claims for cancers diagnosed following exposure to ionizing radiation. In this article, the excess cancer risk assessment models used for PC calculation are reviewed. Cancer risk transfer models between different populations, dependence of cancer risk on dose and dose rate, modification by epidemiological risk factors and application of PC are also discussed in brief.
