OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of external application of Zhuangshenling Recipe (ZR) combined with Western medicine (WM) on the heart function of chronic heart failure (CHF) patients of Xin-Shen yang deficiency, interior retention of water-fluid syndrome (XSYDIRWFS).
METHODSTotally 140 CHF patients of XSYDIRWFS were randomly assigned to two groups, the treatment group and the control group, 70 in each group. All patients received WM therapy. Those in the treatment group were applied with ZR at Xinshu (BL15) and Shenshu (BL23), while those in the control group were applied with placebos at Xinshu (BL15) and Shenshu (BL23). The therapeutic course for all was 12 weeks. The integrals of TCM syndrome, grading of cardiac function, brain natriuretic polypeptide (BNP), and 6 min walking distance were observed before and after treatment.
RESULTSAfter twelve weeks of treatment, the effective rate of improved grading of cardiac function, the total effective rate of TCM syndrome efficacy, and the BNP level were obviously better in the treatment group (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in 6 min walking distance between the two groups (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONExternal application of ZR combined with WM could improve the heart function of CHF patients of XSYDIRWFS.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of clinical pharmacist in pulmonary infection therapy for a patient with hyper-sensitivity to several kinds of antibiotics. METHODS:Through admission evaluation,clinical pharmacists participated in the formu-lation of pulmonary infection therapy regimen for a patient with hypersensitivity to several kinds of antibiotics. According to clinical efficacy and disease condition,clinical pharmacists adjusted therapy plan and provided individual pharmaceutical care. RESULTS:Physician adopted clinical pharmacist’s suggestions,and then the patient transferred to community hospital after pulmonary infec-tion had been controlled. CONCLUSIONS:Clinical pharmacists adopt admission assessment and classification management,posi-tion high risk patient,provide whole-course pharmaceutical care,and help physician to optimize and promote therapy plan,in or-der to guarantee the safety of drug use.

It is important and difficult to establish the market competition mechanism in the health care re-form. Medical voucher system in Hong Kong and Macao can provide policy guidelines for Mainland China to promote institutional innovation, force public hospital reform and the rational allocation of medical and health resources. This paper introduced the origin and development of medical voucher system. Based on the description of the implementa-tion background, similarities and differences and effects of medical voucher system in Hong Kong and Macao, the pa-per found that medical voucher system could help encourage the demander to make more frequent use of medical serv-ices, improve their consciousness of prevention and health care and promote family doctor system. Through analyzing the applicability of medical voucher system in mainland China, the paper pointed out it was consistent with the reform orientation and could be served as a useful supplement to the health care system to improve medical insurance, medi-cal assisstance system as well as an effective measure to develop private medical institutions.

Objective To analyze the behavior of patients with serious adverse drug reactions and look for risk factors leading to serious adverse drug reactions .Methods Patient medication behavior evaluation method was established,which was used in cases of serious adverse reaction caused by stains in recent three years in Beijing Chuiyangliu Hospital .Clinical pharmacists participated in field survey .Medication behavior of patients was analyzed from three aspects of knowledge ,attitude and ability .Results Three patients had serious adverse reactions occurred in recent 3 years,drugs were suspected of simvastatin and atorvastatin .The score of medication knowledge was lower than 20%.The score of health attitude was lower than 20%.The score of taking ability was lower than 20%. Conclusion In the investigation of serious adverse reaction ,pharmacists found the risk behavior of patients with daily medication is an important cause of patients with serious adverse reaction .Pharmacists should strengthen the drug education and publicity ,especially in patients with risk factors of medication behavior such as knowledge ,attitude and ability in their daily work .

OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical utilization of carbapenems in a hospital,analyze and evaluate its medication rationality. METHODS:All the 508 medical records of inpatients treated with carbapenems from Jul. 2012 to Jun. 2015 were retro-spectively investigated,the utilization and pathogenic examination of carbapenems were evaluated;by setting the carbapenems eval-uating standard,the medication rationality of carbapenems was evaluated and inappropriate cases were classified and analyzed statis-tically. RESULTS:The drug utilization indexed (DUI) of Imipenem and cilastatin sodium for injection and Meropenem for injec-tion were 0.80 and 1.32,respectively;the total rate of microbial inspection was 95.9%;according to the drug sensitive test result, the rate of drug selection was 62.8%;there were 54 cases(10.6%)of irrational use records,in which,irrational dosage(42.6%) and improper drug selection (31.4%) were the major problems. CONCLUSIONS:There are some inappropriate medication prob-lems in carbapenems utilization in the hospital. Developing the carbapenems utilization evaluation is helpful to discover typical medi-cation problems,which can provide reference for intervention and continuous improvement of rational drug use.

AIM: To investigate the role of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) and protein kinase C (PKC) signaling in tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?)-induced cardioprotection against hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury. METHODS: Neonatal rat ventricular myocytes were pretreated with TNF-? or sodium nitroprusside (SNP) or L-arginine (L-Arg), respectively, for 12 h and then subjected to continuous hypoxia for 12 h, followed by reoxygenation for 6 h. The manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) activity of the cells was measured after H/R. Myocyte injury was determined by the release of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH). RESULTS: TNF-? (10~5 (U/L)) significantly increased the Mn-SOD activity and decreased release of LDH from ventricular myocytes. The cardioprotection against H/R injury was induced by the pretreatment with SNP (5 ?mol/L) or L-Arg (5 mmol/L), which was blocked by ODQ (10 ?mol/L), the specific sGC inhibitor, and Chel (5 ?mol/L), the specific PKC inhibitor. Pretreatment with L-NAME (100 ?mol/L), ODQ, Chel, antoxidant 2-MPG (400 ?mol/L) or tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein (50 ?mol/L) attenuated the increased Mn-SOD activity and reduced LDH level induced by TNF-?. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that NO may play a role in TNF-?-induced cardioprotection, which is mediated by sGC and PKC. [

Objectiive:The present study was designed to explore whether overexpression of human wild ?-synuclein in rat brain caused selective dopaminergic neuron loss in substantia nigra and aimed to find out a new method to make a rat model of Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods:The human wild ?-synuclein gene was induced into the rat brain by Adeno-Associated Virus(AAV) vector.The overexpression of ?-synuclein was detected by realtime PCR.The behavior of rats were recorded every 4 weeks after the viral particle injection.TH immunohistochemistry were performed at 4,8,12 and 16 weeks post-injection as well as the dopamine(DA),3,4-dihydroxypheny-lacetic acid(DOPAC) of striatum were determined by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrochemical detection.Results:Realtime PCR results revealed a significant overexpression of ?-synuclein in the injected hemisphere.By 8 weeks post injection,a significant loss of the dopaminergic neurons was observed.34% of the dopaminergic neurons were lost after 12 weeks,and about 60% cells loss after 16 weeks.The DA and DOPAC levels in the striatum decreased about 15% 12 weeks after injecting viral particle carried ?-synuclein gene and 30% decreased after 16 weeks.The AAV-?-synuclein-treated rats developed a type of motor impairment,i.e.,head position bias,compatible with this magnitude of nigrostriatal damage.Conclusion:All the results showed that overexpression of human wild ?-synuclein caused selective dopaminergic neuron loss and mimic a symptom of human PD in rats.This may be a new methed to make rat PD model which can offer new opportunities for the study of pathogenetic mechanismsand exploration of new therapeutic targets of particular relevance to human PD.
