OBJECTIVE:To provide suggestions for the setting-up of the current pharmacovigilance(PV)system.METHODS:The characteristics of the setup of the PV system in both US and France were analyzed and the problems encountered in current monitoring system of adverse drug effects were pointed out.RESULTS & CONCLUSION:Both American and French PV systems have their own advantages and we should learn from it and draw useful experiences from them.In constructing PV system,China should make improvement in organization,communication,financial resource and information technology etc.

In order to have a better understanding of the relation between vertical dimension and occlusal force,a meter was made by means of straingauge.Five Japanese men were investi- gated for occlusal force at different vertical dimensions.The measurements showed that the maximal occlusal force of the posterior teeth occured at 8 to 15mm or the vertical dimension, the maximal occlusal forec of the anterior teeth occured at 13 to 18mm.This indicated that the occlusal force was closely related to the state of jaw closing muscle.

Inflammatory reaction plays an important role in the occurrence and development of ischemic stroke. Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) is one of the subfamily members of the CC chemokine class. It can attract and activate a variety of cells, such as monocytes and T lymphocytes, promote the expression of cytokines, and participate in the occurrence of ischemic brain injury. This article reviews the progresses on the MCP-1 and ischemic stroke-related research.

The ultrastruetural changes of the cells of adenohypophysis were observed in adult male rats following administration of gossypol at a daily dosage of 30 mg/kg for 5 weeks. The results indicated a remarkable increase in the secretory activity of gonadotrophs. In comparison with the control group, the number of the less actively functioning types Ⅰ and Ⅱ gonadotrophs of gossypol-treated rats decreased, while that of types Ⅲ and Ⅳ cells with developed Golgi complex and dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum increased. Moreover, castration-like cells (type Ⅴ) and degranulation cells (type Ⅵ) appeared in the experimental animals. No significant changes in the other tropic cells of adenohypophysis could be found. The classification of gonadotrophs and the possible mechanism of gossypol-induced changes in them are discussed.

Objective: To establish a method for quality control of chitosan hemostatic Sponge. Methods: To study the indentification of chitosan , Lidocaine Hydrochloride ,Norfloxacin and inspect the suction water of sponge. Extracting Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Norfloxacin with acid and alkali then determining the content of them by spectrophotometic method. Results: The indetification experiment showed a good result . The suction water of sponge outstripped more than 20 times. The average content of Lidocaine Hydrochloride was 9.55mg/g ,Norfloxacin was 8.46mg/g. The average recovery of Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Norfloxacin was 97.9% and 96.5%. Conclusion: This method can be used to establish the quality control of chitosan hemostatic sponge.

There are many ways to treat pathological scars.Silicon gel sheeting as a noninvasive and convenient method, are widely used in clinic.The article reviews the lituratures on theoretical research of silicon gel sheeting and its efficacy in the past 26 years, and analyzes the effectiveness of silicon gel sheeting for comparison with other methods.

OBJECTIVE To improve efficiency of hospital infection administration and take strict precautions against medical malpractice in Chinese level Ⅱ hospital of UN Peacekeeping Army in Lebanon.METHODS The current situations of its hospital infection administration were enumerated,compared and analyzed,and corresponding measures of administration were suggested.RESULTS Under the influence of characters of medical missions during peacekeeping,the hospital infection administration presented the problems that patients and disease spectra were diversified,the rate of hospital infection was influenced by peacekeeping mission,the positive rate of HIV was high,medical workers protection awareness was lagged behind,and the disposition of hospital was illegitimate;many measures should be taken to enhance the administration level.CONCLUSIONS In order to well develop the hospital infection administration in Chinese level Ⅱ hospital of UN Peacekeeping Army in Lebanon,we should reform and improve the system of hospital infection administration,and establish an effective and systematic prevention system of hospital infection.

The immunoregulatory effects of mescenchymal stem cell (MSC) and its application have become a focused research topic in recent years.This article reviews the up-to-date research advances in the features and mechanisms of immune regulation of MSC and its application.

Objective To investigate the chemical constituents in the leaves of Dracaena cochinchinensis.Methods The compounds were separated with column chromatography and their chemical structures were identified by physicochemical and spectral method,respectively.Results Thirteen compounds were isolated from the plant. They were identified as isorhamnerin(Ⅰ),quercetin(Ⅱ),25(R)-spirostane-5-en-3?-ol(Ⅲ),gracillin(Ⅳ),25(R)-spirostane-5-en-3?,14?-diol(Ⅴ),25(R)-spirostane-5-en-3?,14?-diol-3-O-?-D-glucopyranoside(Ⅵ),25(R)-spirostane-5-en-3?,14?-diol-3-O-?-L-rhamnopyranosy(1→4)-?-D-glucopyranoside(Ⅶ),25(R)-spirostane-14?-hydroxy-4-en-3-one(Ⅷ),7?-hydroxysistosterol-3-O-?-D-glucopyranoside(Ⅸ),?-stigmasterol(Ⅹ),stigmasterol-3-O-?-D-glucopyranoside(Ⅺ),daucosterol (Ⅹ Ⅱ),and methyl ?D-glucopyranoside(Ⅹ Ⅲ).Conclusion Spirostane-type steroids are the major constituents in the leaves of D.cochinchinensis.Compounds Ⅰ-Ⅲ,Ⅴ,Ⅵ,Ⅷ,and Ⅸ are isolated from this plant for the first time.
