European Society of Hypertension/European Society of Cardiology jointly published new guidelines on diagnosis and treatment of hypertension in 2007.It reflected the the latest developments on comprehensive assessment,treatment modalities and strategies,as well as therapeutic approach for special populations.In addition,the new guidelines updated evaluation.It also stressed the importance of an early,faster and more stringent treatment and aggressive combination therapy.More impartantly,it requested prevention and treatment earlier.It is of great importance for the guidelines to guide the current diagnosis and treatment of hypertension.

OBJECTIVE:To promote the reasonable use of antibiotic drugs.METHODS:the causes of antibiotics drug abuse were analyzed.The regulation on standardizing antibiotic drug sales by State Food and Drug Administration as well as its influence were discussed.RESULTS&CONCLUSION:some conceptions and suggestions are tentatively put forward.

OBJECTIVE:In order to enhance the quality control of Chinese botanical extracts and to facilitate the entry of Chinese botanical drugs and traditional Chinese medicine into the international market.METHODS:The market overview of the botanical extracts was expounded,problems existed in the quality control of the Chinese botanical extracts were analyzed,and the significance and key points in establishing Good Extracting Practice(GEP)of the traditional Chinese medicine were discussed.RESULTS&CONCLUSION:The quality control of the Chinese botanical extracts must be emphasized,which means to establish the feasible quality standard;the production process should be optimized and the corresponding‘Standard Operating Procedure’should be formed;advanced technology and facilities should be adopted to improve the content of hi-tech,the toxic substances should be strictly controlled;the quality of the raw material should be guaranteed,the connection between which and the‘Good Agricultural Practice for Chinese Crude Drugs'should be strengthened.

OBJECTIVE:To provide references for the expanding of Chinese traditional medicine enterprises in USA market.METHODS:The management mode of the botanical preparations in the USA and the related laws and regulations were overviewed from the perspectives of dietary replenisher and drug areas.RESULTS&CONSCLUSION:For the entry of Chi?nese traditional medicine into the USA market,a realistic way of behavior for the time being is to adopt a step-by-step pol?icy,i.e.first of all,a research of the standard botanical extracts should be conducted before entering into the USA market in the status of dietary replenishers,then the clinical research application was raised after marketing in USA market for several years,eventually,new drug application was raised.

OBJECTIVE:To facilitate a better understanding of the European Union(EU)herbal drugs market for Chinese TCM enterprises and to promote the internationalization of Chinese traditional medicines.METHODS:The opportunities and challenges confronted by TCM enterprises in their expanding of their products in the EU herbal medicine market were analyzed based on the knowledge about market size,market segmentation,consumption patters and developmental tendencies of the EU herbal medicine market.RESULTS&CONCLUSIONS:There were both opportunities and challenges for the expanding of traditional Chinese medicines in the EU herbal medicine market,yet on the whole,the opportunities were more than the challenge.Chinese enterprises should strive to further expand the EU herbal medicine market.

[Objective]To discuss the best acupuncture treatment to acute facial neuritis.[Method] Compare the routine acupuncture method with plum needle acupuncturing Wanggu acupoint for bleeding.[Result] After 3 courses,the cure rate of the treatment group was 66.7%,and 33.3% for the control one;by comparison,the difference was of marked meaning(P

Objective To investigate the clinical value of fecal calprotectin as a marker for diagnosis of ulcerative colitis(UC).Methods ELISA assay was used to measure the concentrations of calprotectin in feces of 30 UC patients and 20 healthy controls.The disease activity of UC was determined by Truelove Witts histological criteria.Results The level of calprotectin in feces was significantly higher in feces with active UC(578?g/g) than with inactive UC(8.4?g/g,P0.05),but significant difference existed between each active grade and inactive phase of UC.The results revealed siginificant correlation between the endoscopic grades of disease activity and fecal calprotectin concentration(r=0.85,P

To study the mechanism and influence of pneumonia on myocardium in D-galactose(D-gal) treated mice, 36 normal male NIH mice were randomly selected and pretreated with D-gal, and then they were divided into three groups, namely control group, the first day after pneumonia group, and the third day after pneumonia group. Another group of 36 mice were pretreated with normal saline to form a general control group. The result showed that in the D-gal prtreated pneumonia mice, the degeneration of myocardial mitochondria was more pronounced, the content of MDA in myocardium was increased, and the activity of SOD and the content of ATP in the myocardium were reduced. There was a positive correlation between the content of ATP and the activity of SOD, and there was a negative correlation between the content of ATP and MDA in the myocardium. These results suggusted that the myocardial lipid peroxidation in the D-gal treated mice increased the susceptibility to the damaging factors, such as pneumonia.

BACKGROUND:Impact mechanics properties of thoracic vertebra cancellous bone should be understood in treating osteoporosis,bone remodeling,bone reconstruction,as well as fixator selection for thoracic vertebral fracture.Most of previous studies concerning youth and the elderly bodies alone,reports regarding impact of thoracic vertebra cancellous bone mechanical properties are few.OBJECTIVE:To perform impact experiment to the normal people youth and the elderly fresh corpse thoracic vertebra cancellous bone to survey the impact mechanical properties,and to definite whether the impact mechanical properties of thoracic vertebra trabecular bone have difference between youth and the elderly people.METHODS:Experimental samples were from 4 normal fresh corpse,aged 20,25,70 and 75 years,were provided by Department of Anatomy,Norman Bethune Medical University.Spinal column thoracic vertebra T_(3-12) specimen were obtained from corpse within 1 hours and cut into 40 mm×6 mm×6 mm pieces,with 20 test pieces in each group.The impact experiment was performed using energy liberation method at room temperature under 28 ℃.After experiment,the impact energy was displayed automatic on testing machine,and the impact toughness was calculated by mechanical formula,and the morphology of fracture surface was observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The impact energy and impact toughness of the youth group was obviously greater than that of the elderly group (P＜0.05).Majority of the fracture surfaces were comminuted,minority were transverse or oblique fracture.The macroscopic observation showed that trabecular arranged compact in the thoracic vertebra cancellous bone of the youth group,which was sparse arrangement and presented with senile osteoporosis in the elderly group.It demonstrated that the impact mechanics properties of thoracic vertebra cancellous bone are different between the youth and elderly groups,and osteoporosis changes impact mechanics properties in the elderly people.
