OBJECTIVETo study the cost-effectiveness, benefit and utility of infant hepatitis B vaccination in Shanghai from 1992 to 2001.

METHODSTo calculate the cost of hepatitis B vaccination by cost analysis method. Both the numbers of persons with HBsAg positive and patient with hepatitis B, cirrhosis and liver cancer decreased as the index of direct effect. To study the sick-time and the cost of treating hepatitis B, cirrhosis and liver cancer patients, a face to face questionnaire was used and quasi method was adopted to understand the effect of cure and the course of hepatitis B. The cost benefit analysis method was also used to calculate the cost benefit of HBV vaccine. The disability adjusted life years (DALY) was regarded as an index of utility to measure the disease burden.

RESULTSInput of 501,129.49 Yuan might have the result of reducing one liver cancer patient, ten cirrhosis patients, one hundred chronic hepatitis B patients and one thousand HBsAg positive people. The cost of hepatitis B vaccination was 0.24 hundred million Yuan during the past ten years in Shanghai, which had obtained the total benefit value of 41.22 hundred million Yuan, with a cost benefit ratio of 1:172 Yuan. It was estimated that the total disease burden of hepatitis B, cirrhosis and liver cancer patients was 59,762.55 DALY in order to reduce one DALY loss cost of 402.50 Yuan.

CONCLUSIONHBV vaccine inoculation in infants seemed to be a low-cost input and high-effect output strategy.

Objective To optimize ambi-extracting and inclusion process of volatile oil from Chuanxiong Rhizoma and Angelicae Sinensis Radix. Methods With yield ratio of volatile oil and ferulic acid content in water extract as evaluation indexes, single factor experiments were used to study the extraction process. With the inclusion rate of volatile oil and yield of inclusion as evaluation indexes, saturated aqueous solution was used to L9(34) orthogonal experiments to reach optimum inclusion process. Results The optimum extraction process of Chuanxiong Rhizoma and Angelicae Sinensis Radix was extracted for 8 hours with 8 folds the amount of water, and without soaking. The validation experiments of extraction of volatile oil and ferulic acid content in water extract were 1.23 mL and 0.387 9 mg/g. The optimum conditions of inclusion process were as follows: volatile oil (mL): β-CD (g) was 1:8;inclusion temperature was 40 ℃; inclusion time was 3 hours. The validation experiments of inclusion rate of volatile oil and yield of inclusion were 74.89% and 72.81%. Conclusion Optimum ambi-extracting and inclusion process of volatile oil from Chuanxiong Rhizoma and Angelicae Sinensis Radix are feasible and stable, witch can provide certain supporting data for preparation production.

Objective To optimize the processes of extraction and inclusion of volatile oil from Citri Grandis Exocarpium. Methods With yield ratio of volatile oil as evaluation index, single factor experiments were used to study the extraction process of volatile oil. With the inclusion rate of the volatile oil and the yield of inclusion as evaluation indexes, saturated aqueous solution was used to the L9(34) orthogonal experiments to reach the best inclusion process optimization. And the microscopic imaging analysis and X-ray scattering technology were adopted to character the inclusion compound. Results The optimum extraction process of volatile oil was extracted for 10 hours with 10 folds the amount of water, and without soaking. The optimum conditions of inclusion process were as follows: volatile oil (mL): β-CD (g): water (mL) ratio was 1:8:80; inclusion temperature was 50 ℃; inclusion time was 3 hour. The validation experiments of the inclusion rate of the volatile oil and the yield of inclusion were 91.50% and 88.36%. Microscopic imaging analysis and X-ray scattering technology proved the inclusion compound had been formed. Conclusion Optimal extraction and inclusion process are feasible and stable, which can provide certain supporting data for preparation and production.

Objective To optimize the extraction and alcohol precipitation process of Qizhi Yifei Granules by multi index orthogonal experiment. Methods With extraction rate of astragaloside in Astragali Radix, quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucose-7-O-β-D-gentian diglucoside in Descurainiae Semen Lepidii Semen and yield rate of dry extract as indexes, the extraction process of Qizhi Yifei Granules was optimized. Taking the retention rate of astragaloside and quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucose-7-O-β-D-gentian diglucoside as indexes, the alcohol precipitation process was optimized. Results The best water extraction process was as follows: adding 10 times amount of water, extracting for 1.5 h, 3 times. The optimum alcohol precipitation process was: concentrated to the relative density of 1.05–1.10 (60 ℃), adding ethanol to 60％ and alcohol precipitation. Conclusion The optimized extraction and alcohol precipitation process is stable and feasible, which can provide the basis for the preparation.

A flavoring agent and a suspension agent were prepared for extemporaneous compounding. The stability of the two agents before and after drug loading was investigated, and the taste of the suspension after extemporaneous compounding was evaluated by electronic tongue technology. The two agents remained stable under the conditions of influence factor test, accelerated test and long-term test. The appearance properties of the two agents did not change. The relative density of the flavoring agent was maintained at 1.053-1.075, and the pH was stable at 4.2-4.5. The relative density of the suspension agent was maintained at 0.999-1.022, and the pH was stable at 4.0-4.5. Seven kinds of drugs, including warfarin sodium tablets and spironolactone tablets, were mixed with these two oral solvents, and the content uniformity and stability were detected respectively. The results showed that the preparations could be evenly dispersed and the physical and chemical properties were stable. The results of taste evaluation showed that in captopril group and chloral hydrate group, the flavoring agent had the best effect on taste correction. In warfarin sodium group, rifampicin group, spironolactone group, vitamin B1 group and vitamin B2 group, the blending agents had the best effect on taste correction.
