OBJECTIVE:To discuss how to solve patents problems in the registration and approval of drugs.METHODS:Regulations and problems in the registration and approval of drugs in China were analyzed and which were compared with that of the American and Europe.RESULTS&CONCLUSIONS:The registration and approval of drugs and their patents right protection were legally independent of each other,to which the drug administration law and patent law respectively are appli-cable.There is no necessary association between the registration and approval of drugs and the infringement of patents right.Patent dispute should be solved in accordance with the patent related regulations,the registration and approval of drugs should not involve the solving of patent disputes of drugs.

Objective:To study the effects of glutamine on the rehabilitation and the immune function in patients with acute stroke. Methods: The study included 57 patients with cerebral ischemia and 29 patients with brain hemorrhage.Nutritional and immune function parameters were evaluated at admission and after 2 weeks following stroke respectively.Neurological deficit was also evaluated by the Chinese Stroke Scale at admission and after 28 days following stroke.The infective complications were investigated. Results:At the same duration after acute stroke,the extent of neurological deficit recovery was significantly lower in the control group than the glutamine group.The rate of the infective complications was significantly higher and it's duration was significantly longer in the control group than the glutamine group.The degree of nutriture and immune function deteriorating was significantly severer in the control group than the glutamine peptide group. Conclusion:Parenteral glutamine supplements is helpful for the rehabilitation and in preventing deterioration of nutrition status and immune function following acute stroke.

Objective To explore the chest features of patients with the novel influenza type A H1N1 on HRCT. Methods One hundred and seventy-two chest HRCT examinations on 163 cases with Influenza type A H1N1 (9 cases were reexamed) were retrospectively analyzed using standard pulmonary window and mediastinal window, respectively. HRCT imaging appearances were summarized. Results Ninety-seven cases showed normal on chest HRCT, while the others showed abnormalities of parenchymal and interstitial. Among them, HRCT identified ground-glass opacity in 35 cases (53.0%), centrilobular nodules in 30 cases (45.5%), thickening of intralobular septa in 31 cases (47.0%), intralobular thin reticulation and micro-nodule in 8 cases (12.1%), single-lobular inflammation in 19 cases (28.8%), consolidation of lung(the large consolidation and multiple small consolidations)in 15 cases (22.7%), pulmonary atelectasis in 3 cases (4.5%), and irregular lines in 2 cases (3.0%). Pleurisy was also revealed including 8 cases with right pleurisy, 5 cases with left pleurisy, and 19 cases with bilateral pleurisy. Mediastinal and axillary lymphadenopathy were found in 7 cases, who were spared of pleural effusion. All above abnormalities resolved quickly after anti- virus treatment. Conclusion Parenchymal and interstitial abnormalities, mediastinum and axillary fossa lymphadenopathy, and pleural effusion were the common findings on HRCT in patients with Influenza type A H1N1, which were similar to those of other viral pneumonia.

Objective To analyze rick factors for postoperative recurrence of spontaneous pneumothorax surgery. Methods The clinic characteristics of 1128 patients who received spontaneous pneumothorax surgery in Tianjin Chest Hospital were collected from January 2009 to March 2015. The relationship between clinic characteristics and the pulmonary bullae was analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess factors affecting the postoperative relapse of spontaneous pneumothorax. Results The pulmonary bullae were found in 877 patients of 1128 during the operation. The incidence of pulmonary bullae was significantly high in patients with age below 25 years compared with patients over 25 years (P<0.05). The duration of surgery was significantly longer in patients with pulmonary bullae compared with that of patients without pulmonary bullae (P<0.05). Postoperative recurrence occurred in 21 cases, with a recurrence rate of 1.86%. Logistic regression analysis showed that pulmonary bullae, pleurodesis without pleura friction, delayed drainage duration (> 3 d) were independent risk factors of postoperative recurrence for spontaneous pneumothorax (P<0.05). Conclusion Pulmonary bullae, pleurodesis without pleura friction and delayed drainage duration are risk factors of postoperative recurrence for spontaneous pneumothorax, which should be paid more attention in clinic.

Objective To investigate the changes in Bcl-2-associated athanogene 1(BAG-1)expression,and the mechanism of nuclear translocation in rat alveolar macrophages(AMs)induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS)and dexamethasone(Dex).Methods Primary culture AMs treated by LPS and Dex were divided randomly into three groups:6h group,2h group and 24h group.The BAG-1 expression in AMs was detected with Western blot.The interactions between BAG-1 and glucocorticoid receptor(GR)were detected with immune co-precipitation.The changes in GR expression in nuclear protein were evaluated with Western blotting after transfection of RNA interference recombinant plasmids(named psilencer 3.1-GR)targeting to GR gene.Results The expression of BAG-1L in total protein increased,and that of BAG-1S showed no changes.Only BAG-1L,with no BAG-1S,was detected in nuclear protein,and its expression increased gradually in 24h.Interaction between BAG-1L and GR was found in nucleolus after treatment.After transfection of plasmids psilencer 3.1-GR,the BAG-1L expression in nuclear protein decreased significantly compared with that of non-transfection group(P

Objective:To investigate the indications of lower incisor extraction in orthodontic treatment of malocclusions. Methods:42 patients (males 16,females 26) were divided into four groups: abnormal Bolton index; class III malocclusions with anterior teeth cross bite; one congenital lower incisor losing; and anterior teeth area periodontal disease.One lower incisor extraction, one lower incisor and other teeth extraction and other accessorial therapy were used in the treatment. Results:According to these four different conditions, alternative treatment plans of lower incisor extraction should be determined. For the former two conditions, one lower incisor was extracted; A lower incisor and two maxillary first premolars were extracted in the third condition, in which lower canines and first premolars should be grinded to improve esthetics; In the last condition, some maxillary teeth need stripping besides extracting one lower incisor. All of the 42 cases achieved satisfactory results, normal overbite and overjet and stable occlusal relationship. Conclusion:To be well acquainted with the indications of the extraction of the lower incisor in orthodontic treatment of malocclusions can help to achieve satisfactory clinical effect.

Objective To detect the protein expression of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and its receptor (GnRH-R) in various endometrial tissues, and to investigate its significance. Methods Immunohistochemistry was employed to analyse the protein expression and localization of GnRH and GnRH-R from endometriosis(EMS), endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial carcinoma and control group. Results GnRH and GnRH-R are expressed at the protein level in all eutopic endometrium, in 50% ectopic endometrium and 92.3% endometrial hyperplasia, while the expressional rate in endometrial carcinoma are 58.8% and 82.4%, respectively. The majority of GnRH and GnRH-R existed in the plasma of glandular epithelium cells and some stroma cells. Conclusions There exists GnRH and its receptor proteins in endometrial tissues, and their abundant expression in endometriosis, endometrial hyperplasia and in endometrial carcinoma may imply that they could be used in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of Fas, FasL, Bcl-2 and Bax in transitional cell carcinoma of bladder and its clinical significance. Methods Immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the expression of Fas, FasL, Bcl-2 and Bax in 40 specimens of transitional cell carcinoma of bladder and 24 specimens of normal bladder mucosa tissue. Results The positive expression of Fas was detected both in transitional cell carcinonma of bladder and in normal bladder mucosa tissue, while FasL, Bcl-2 and Bax only in transitional cell carcinonma of bladder. The expression of Fas was significantly lower in careinoma of high-grade malignancy than in carcinoma of low-grade malignancy (P

Objective To evaluate the effects of total glucosides of paeony (TCP) on cell proliferation of and expression of VECF and IL-23 in human HaCaT keratinocytes and their potential mechanisms. Methods MTT assay was performed to detect the cell proliferation of HaCaT cells incubated with various concentrations (0.5 to 312.5 mg/L) of TGP. HaCaT cells were classified into 8 groups, control group without any treatment, TGP groups treated with 6 different concentrations of TGP, SB203580 group treated with TGP of 125 mg/L after 2-hour pretreatment with SB203580 of 10 μmol/L After additional culture, reverse transcription (RT)- PCR and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were conducted to determine the expression levels of VEGF and IL-23 mRNA and protein, Western blot to test the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in these cells. Results The proliferation of HaCaT cells was promoted by TGP of low concentrations (0.5 and 2.5 mg/L), but inhibited by TGP of equal to or more than 12.5 mg/L, and peaked at the concentration of 125 mg/L. TGP of 0.5 and 2.5 mg/L enhanced the mRNA and protein expressions of VEGF and IL-23, while TGP of 12.5 to 125 mg/L suppressed the expression of VEGF mRNA and protein, and TGP of 62.5 to 125 mg/L downregulated the expression of IL-23 mRNA and protein. The phosphorylation of p38 protein kinase in HaCaT cells was induced by TGP of 125 mg/L in a time-dependant manner. Concretely, the level of phosphorylated p38 kinase in HaCaT cells was 0.3314 ± 0.0245 (peak) at 5 minutes, decreased to 0.2173 ± 0.0189 at 10 minutes (still statistically higher than untreated HaCaT cells) and 0.1664 ± 0.0201 at 30 minutes after treatment with TGP of 125 mg/L. SB203580 attenuated the effect of TGP on p38 phosphorylation, and the level of phosphorylated p38 kinase was 0.1529 ±0.0147 in HaCaT cells pretreated with SB203580 prior to the treatment with TGP. Conclusion TGP can inhibit the cell proliferation of and expressions of VEGF and IL-23 mRNA and protein in HaCaT cells, likely mediated by the p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Combined with the five Zang Yin-Yang theory, to discuss the spinal marrow and cerebral Yin Yang state. As the internal organs, we believe that the spinal marrow and cerebral are substantial Yin and functional Yang. Further we can diagnose and treat the cerebral and spinal marrow injury related diseases. In the clinical therapy of acute and chronic cerebral and spinal marrow diseases, we should maintain the substantial Yin by avoiding injury, preventing spinal degeneration and maintaining the blood supply; and we should adjusting the functional Yang by nourishing the blood and promoting blood circulation, calming the liver to stop the wind, keep Yin and Weiqi in balance, tonifying the spleen and kidney etc. From the author's experience ,the patient with acute cerebral and spinal marrow injury diseases should be treated by regulating lung, liver, spleen and kidney to remove the wet water and purge the fire;the patient with chronic cerebral and spinal marrow injury diseases should be treated by regulating heart, liver, spleen and kidney to enhance Yang and nourish Yin.
