As an essential part of modern medical service,pharmaceutical care gains more and more attention in the field of medication. The goal of pharmaceutical care is to effectively control rational administration of drugs, improve the therapeutic efficacy and avoid adverse drug reactions.Pharmacology,as the key basis of pharmacy,directly determines the level of pharmaceutical care.Therefore,development of pharmacology,especially for the clinical pharmacology,plays an important role in enforcing capability of clinical pharmacists.In this article,we summarized the functions of medical care in medical practice based on the Chinese medication.Authors described the relationship of pharmacology and medical care in the medication for cancer, infectious diseases, and chronic diseases. Authors proposed that the rational drug administration under the guidance of pharmacology is the core point to evaluate the quality of clinic pharmaceutical care,and the final goal of which is to increase the benefit of medication and guide the training of pharmacists in China.

Objective To investigate the expression of hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) in lung adenocarcinoma and its correlation with tumor metastasis. Methods SP immunohistochemistry was used to detect GLUT1 and HIF-1α protein expression in 125 lung adenocarcinoma, including 41 cases without metastasis, 38 cases with lymphatic metastasis and 46 cases with brain metastasis. The correlation of GLUT1 and HIF-1α in lung adenocarcinoma metastasis was analyzed by using x 2 test and Pearson correlation analysis. Results Most lung adenocarcinoma were histologically heterogeneous, which contained more than one adenocarcinoma type. 73.2 % (30/41) cases were acinar predominant adenocarcinoma in lung adenocarcinoma without metastasis; 53.6 % (15/38) cases were acinar predominant adenocarcinoma and 26.3 % (10/38) cases were solid predominant adenocarcinoma in lung adenocarcinoma with lymphatic metastasis; 47.8 % (22/46) cases were papillary predominant adenocarcinoma and 34.8 % (16/46) cases were solid predominant adenocarcinoma in lung adenocarcinoma with brain metastases. The expression level of GLUT1 and HIF-1α in lung adenocarcinoma with lymphatic metastasis group was higher than that of the group without tumor metastasis (P< 0.05); the expression of GLUT1 and HIF-1α were positively correlated (r=0.407, P=0.000). Conclusions Papillary adenocarcinoma is the most histological type in lung adenocarcinoma with brain metastasis, suggesting that papillary adenocarcinoma is more prone to brain metastasis. The expression of GLUT1 and HIF-1α play an important role in lymph node metastasis and brain metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective To observe the efficacy and prognosis of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide ( rhBNP) and conventional treatment in acute myocardial infarction patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention therapy complicated by acute of left heart failure. Methods Retrospective analysis of 229 cases of hospitalized patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention therapy in 24 hours after admission, complicating with acute left ventricular failure in Shenyang Military General Hospital from June 2012 to January 2014 were enrolled and devided into: the conventional heart failure therapy group (the control group, n=122) and the rhBNP plus conventional treatment group ( the treatment group, n =107 ) , according to the patient's economic conditions and wishes. Observed improvement in heart failure symptoms before and after treatment during hospitalization and follow-up and also the 30 days and 12 months mortality. Results After 72 hrs of treatment of heart failure, both groups had decrease in heart rates, systolic blood pressure and NT-proBNP levels as compared to pre-treatment levels ( all P ﹤ 0. 05 ) . The NT-proBNP levels and heart rate of the treatment group decreased more significantly compared to the control group (both P﹤0. 05). Compared with the control group, rhBNP which to be used 72 hrs, can improve the cardiac function of AMI patients with the ratio of KillipⅡ-Ⅲ(72. 9%vs. 54. 9%, P=0. 005). There was no significant differences between two groups in in-hospital mortality and early follow-up period ( 30 days ) ( P ﹥0. 05 ) . After 12 months of follow-up, the mortality of the treatment group was lower than the control group ( 6. 5% vs. 13. 9%, P = 0. 068 ) . Through logistic regression analysis, the value of NT-proBNP and whether patients were treated with rhBNP on the basis of the routine drug were independent influencing factors for mortality of 12 months. Conclusions Additional to standard conventional therapy for acute left heart failure in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing PCI, rhBNP can lower the 12 months mortality and improve prognosis.

To investigate the structure disruption of BSA (1mg/ml, dissolved in PBS) induced by ultrasonication and the French press. The BSA solution was passed through the French press and received ultrasound irradiation, and then detected by HPLC(High-performance liquid chromatography),DLS(Dynamic Light Scattering),CD(Circular Dichroism)and nondenaturing SDS-PAGE. Detection results showed that BSA was polymerized after ultrasound irradiation and the polymerization can be reduced by adding mannitol (free radical scavenger). This means that the free radical play an important role in this process. However, the BSA passing through the French press for several times wasn’t polymerized, and the secondary structure was somewhat destroyed. These results suggested that ultrasound irradiation and French press destroy the molecular structure in different manners, so that the suitable cell lyses methods should be selected according to the characteristics of the protein.
