OBJECTIVE:To provide the clinical departments with a reference for promoting rational drug use. METHODS:The inpatient prescriptions given by orthopaedics and burn departments from Jun. to Dec. 2013 were selected randomly. The number of the selected prescriptions by each department accounted for 2% of the total prescriptions given by the corresponding department in that month,including 4 921 cases by orthopaedics department and 1 391 cases by burn department. Statistical analysis of irrational prescriptions was made according to Chinese Pharmacopoeia,New Materia Medica,the package insert, and other relevant references. RESULTS:1 821 prescriptions given by orthopaedics department and 378 by burn department were found to be irrational,accounting for 37.00% and 27.17% respectively. The reasons of irrationality mainly included im-proper compatibility,improper route of administration,contraindication in and use with caution by the elderly and children,re-peated drug use,improper drug combination etc. CONCLUSIONS:The system of prescription review should be strengthened, and clinical staff training system and pharmaceatical knowledge information platform are established to promote rational use of drugs.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of C-reactive protein (CRP) on the expressions of Notch pathway components in human peripheral blood endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) in vitro.

METHODSMononuclear cells isolated by density gradient centrifugation of human peripheral blood mixed with 6% hydroxyethyl starch (Hes) were plated on fibronectin-coated 6-well culture dishes. After 7 days, the adherent cells were cultured in the presence of 10 and 20 mg/L CRP for 48 h, and the proliferation, migration, and adhesion abilities of the cells were observed. The mRNA expressions of Notch-1 and its ligand Jagged-1 in the EPCs were measured by RT-PCR, and their protein expressions by Western blotting.

RESULTSCRP at 10 and 20 mg/L caused a significant reduction in the number of viable EPCs (61∓3 and 54∓3, respectively) as compared with PBS (71∓4, P<0.05). CRP also resulted in a significant suppression of the proliferation, migration and adhesion capacities of the EPCs. The mRNA and protein expressions of Jagged-1 and Notch-1 in the EPCs significantly increased following CRP exposure in comparison with PBS treatment.

CONCLUSIONCRP can suppress the proliferation, migration and adhesion capacities of the EPCs probably by affecting the expressions of the Notch-1 pathway components.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of synthetic MRI methods in the differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions.Methods:Clinical and imaging data of 93 breast patients confirmed by pathology in the Second Affifiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University from May 2019 to April 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent synthetic MRI technique, and the quantitative parameters of T 1, T 2, and proton density (PD) values were measured. Independent samples t-test and Wilcoxon test were used to compare the differences in clinical and imaging characteristics between the benign and malignant breast lesions. ROC curve was used for the comparison of the diagnostic efficacy of the quantitative parameters in differentiating malignant from benign breast lesions. Results:Of the 93 patients with breast lesions, 62 cases were malignant and 31 cases were benign. The quantitative T 2 values for benign and malignant lesions were 103 (93, 126)ms and 83 (77, 90)ms respectively, and the quantitative PD values were 87.7 (72.7, 96.7)pu and 73.5(63.3, 79.4)pu respectively. There were statistically significant differences between benign and malignant lesion( P<0.05). Taking quantitative T 2 values of 90.5 ms and PD values of 84.8 pu as the cut-off value, the area under the ROC curve in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions were 0.87 and 0.75, accuracy values were 80.6% and 78.5%, specificity values were 87.1% and 54.8%, sensitivity values were 77.4% and 90.3% respectively. Conclusion:Synthetic MRI methods can be applied in the examination of breast lesions and has the potential to be an effective diagnostic method for the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant lesions of breast.

Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of cervical size change rate and morphological distribution detected by ultrasound in the second trimester of pregnancy for preterm delivery. Methods: From June 2016 to June 2018, 300 pregnant women who underwent antenatal testing and gave birth in , the Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital of Wenzhou were selected in this research.The length, width and shape of cervix were measured by transvaginal color doppler ultrasonography at 14 and 28 weeks respectively.According to whether or not premature delivery occurred, they were divided into premature delivery group and full-term delivery group.The differences of cervical length, cervical inner mouth width, cervical length shortening rate, cervical inner mouth width increasing rate and cervical shape distribution between preterm and full-term pregnant women were compared, and the correlation between the above indicators and the occurrence of premature delivery were analyzed. Results: The length of cervix in the preterm delivery group [(21.41±6.28)mm] was significantly shorter than that in the full-term delivery group at 28 weeks of gestation [(34.17±5.76)mm](t=10.295, P=0.000), and the width of cervical inner mouth in the preterm delivery group [(9.54±2.57) mm] was significantly longer than that in the full-term delivery group [(4.06±0.91)mm] (t=25.416, P=0.000). The shortening rate of cervical length [(39.28±8.65)%] and the increasing rate of cervical width [(149.74±15.09)%] in the preterm pregnant women during the second trimester were significantly higher than those in the full-term pregnant women [(10.15±5.29)% and (16.33±3.84)%] (t=21.471, 39.420; P=0.000, 0.000). The proportion of T-type cervix in the preterm delivery group (77.17%) was significantly higher than that in the full-term delivery group (63.28%) (χ²=10.935, P=0.001). According to the correlation analysis, the length of cervix was negatively correlated with premature birth (r=-0.612, P=0.035), and the width of cervical inner mouth, the shortening rate of cervical length in the second trimester and the increasing rate of cervical inner mouth width in the second trimester were positively correlated with premature birth (r=0.743, 0.665, 0.807; P=0.013, 0.026, 0.004). Conclusion Ultrasound monitoring of cervical size change rate and cervical morphology during the second trimester of pregnancy is helpful to the early prediction of preterm labor, which should be paid attention to clinically.
