From the perspectives of social equitable exchange theory, contents and features of exchange between medical staff and patients in the doctor-patient relationship as well as their evalua-tion on social equitable exchange theory were analyzed according to basic features of doctor-patient relationship. Suggestions were proposed from government, industry, hospital and medical staff.

Objective To compare the Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) of patients with sys temic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with other common chronic diseases (coronary heart disease,diabetes and hypertension).Methods Responses from Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaires from outpatients,inpatients with SLE,other common chronic diseases and healthy controls were analyzed in all domains.Results The mean age of patients with SLE was 39+13 years old,while those of patients with coronary heart disease,dia betes and hypertension were 65±16,60±13,59±14 years respectively.All SLE patients were significantly worse in all domains of SF-36 questionnaire,compared with the healthy controls.The responses of inactive patients with SLE,were not significantly worse than those with other chronic diseases in all domains (P＞0.05).On the contrary,the responses of patients with active SLE were significantly worse than those of patients with inactive SLE,as well as patients with other chronic diseases (P＜0.05).Conclusion HRQOL of patients with active SLE is significantly worse when compared to patients with other common chronic diseases.

Objective To study the effects of matrine on accumulation of ? globin mRNA and induction of erythroid differentiation in K562 cells in vitro.Methods K562 cells were cultured for 6 days with different concentration of matrine,viable cell counts were determined by trypan-blue dye exdusion test. Erythroid differentiation was evaluated by percentage of benzidine-positive cells at different days after culture. Morphological changes were observed under microscope after Wright-Gimesa staining; ? globin mRNA was quantitative by real time quantitative reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results Different concentrations of matrine inhibited proliferation of K562 cells in dose-dependent manner; otherwise, K562 cells were successfully induced by erythroid differentiation with matrine. After treatment with matrine, percentage of benzidine-positive cells significantly increased from 0.7% to 15.7% and characteristic changes of erythroid differentiation in the cell morphology were observed, G? globin mRNA had a preferential increase (2.7 fold)in K562 cells. Conclusions Matrine accumulation G? globin mRNA and induced erythroid differentiation of K562 cells. The results provides an experimental evidence for the pharmacological therapy of hematological diseases associated with a failure in the expression of normal ? globin genes.

Objective Due to redundant valuations and inaccurate quantities and specifications in processing temporary medical orders, expensive medicines, water and cream medications, program patches of electronic prescriptions included in the nurse work station were designed and developed. Methods Based on the software and hardware platforms of No.1 Military Medical Project, it was developed under Powerbuilder 9.0 without more tables and database expenses. Result Paperless prescription was realized. Conclusion The clinician's workload is reduced. Inaccurate patient expenses and drugs data are stopped.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of extracellular regulating kinase (ERK) signaling pathway on the secretion of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in cultured rat hippocampal neurons induced by stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1).

METHODSThe hippocampal neurons of newborn SD rats were cultured and identified in vitro; the phosphorylation level of ERK1/2 was examined by Western blot; ELISA was used to detect the effect of PD98059, a ERK1/2 specific blocker on GABA secretion of cultured hippocampal neurons and Western blot were adopted to measure the protein expression levels of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD65/67) and gamma aminobutyric acid transporter (GAT); after blocking ERK1/2 signaling pathway with PD98059; RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of GAT-1 and GAD65 after treated with PD98059.

RESULTSThe levels of ERKl/2 phosphorylation were increased significantly by SDF1 acting on hippocampal neurons, and CX-CR4 receptor blocker AMD3100, could inhibit SDF-1 induced ERK1/2 activation; SDF-1 could inhibit the secretion of GABA in cultured hippocampal neurons, and ERK1/2 specific inhibitor PD98059, could partly reverse the inhibition of GABA secretion by SDF-1. The effects of SDF-1 on cultured hippocampal neurons was to decrease the mRNA genesis of glutamic acid decarboxylase GAD65 and GABA transporter GAT-1, besides, ERK inhibitor PD98059 could effectively flip the effect of SDF-1. The results of Western blot showed that SDF-1 could inhibit the protein expression of GAT-1 and GAD65/67 in hippocampal neurons and the inhibition of GAT-1 and GAD65/67 protein expression could be partially restored by ERK1/2 blocker.

CONCLUSIONSDF-1 acts on the CXCR4 of hippocampal neurons in vitro, and inhibits the expression of GAD by activating the ERK1/2 signaling pathway, and this may represent one possible pathway of GABA secretion inhibition.

Objective To study the supporting role of traditional Chinese medicine GanFuAn in the treatment of high-risk state of liver cancer by color Doppler ultrasound.Methods Based on a number of joint detection of tumor markers,85 patients of liver cancer were selected from patients with chronic hepatitis B.Among these 85patients,50 patients were selected in a treatment group and treated with Chinese herbal preparation GanFuAn,with ultrasound and tumor markers serving as joint monitoring; while the other 35 patients were selected in a control group and treated with conventional treatment.Results In the treatment group,the liver tumor markers or liver tumor continually diminished.5 cases showed tumor disappear.38 cases showed effective results,while 7 cases showed no effects.The total incidence rate of liver cancer was 14％;while in the control group,none case showed tumor disappear.20 cases showed effects and 15 cases showed none effects.The cumulative incidence rate of liver cancer induced by chronic hepatitis was 43％,with all the cases have been confirmed by pathology.Conclusion Color doppler ultrasound was an intuitive,non-invasive dynamic method to monitor liver tumor's growth and decline.

Objective To observe the relationship between serum level of H-FABP before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and prognosis in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods A total of 104 cases were recruited in this study. PCI was performed 12 h after onset. The concentration of H-FABP was detected before operation. Gensini score system was used to calculate the integral of all patients after coronary angiography. According to Gensini score, patients were divided into three groups, 34 cases in group A (8≤Gensini scores<41), 34 cases in group B (41≤Gensini scores<64) and 36 cases in group C (Gensini scores≥64). Indicators were analyzed statistically including systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), smoking history, H-FABP, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), fasting blood sugar, diabetes (DM) and hypertension. The patients were followed up for 12 months after operation. According to the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), patients were divided into MACE group and non-MACE group. The related factors of two groups were statistically analyzed. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors of MACE for patients with STEMI after emergency PCI. Results There is a gradually increasing tendency in total cholesterol levels among three A, B and C groups (P<0.05). LVEF values were lower in B group and C group than that of A group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in levels of SBP, DBP, H-FABP, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, fasting plasma glucose and smoking history, DM, and hypertension between three groups (P>0.05). In 12-month follow-up, the proportion of STEM combined with DM, the time from onset to PCI, the level of TC, the level of H-FABP before operation and Gensini score were significantly higher in MACE group than those of non-MACE group (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that STEM combined with DM, higher serum level of H-FABP before operation were risk factors of MACE in 12-month after operation (P<0.05). Conclusion For patients with acute STEM combined with diabetes and elevated preoperative serum level of H-FABP, be alert to the occurrence of MACE in 12-month after PCI.
