Objective:To provide reference for the pharmaceutical care for aged acute cerebral infarction with various complica-tions. Methods:Clinical pharmacists participated in the treatment for an elder patient with acute cerebral infarction complicated with gastrointestinal bleeding, liver dysfunction and pulmonary infection through providing drug therapy information, analyzing the effect and safety of drug therapy and adjusting the pharmaceutical care plan according to the drug efficacy in time. Results:Taking use of phar-maceutical knowledge, clinical pharmacists provided whole-course pharmaceutical care for the treatment of the patient and coordinated with doctors to make the drug therapy, which guaranteed the effectiveness and safety of therapy. Conclusion:The old are with high in-cidence of cerebral infarction, and complications are common. Due to their physiological dysfunction and the other reasons, high safety risk exists in their drug therapy. Clinical pharmacists can use their professional knowledge to provide whole-course pharmaceutical care for the patients in order to improve the therapeutic effect and promote the rational drug use.

Objective To investigate the effect of ERK1/2 phosphorylation on the proliferation of human aorta vascular smooth muscle cells (HAVSMCs) stimulated by advanced glycation end products (AGEs) Methods CCK8 was used to test the effect of AGEs with different concentration on the proliferation of HAVSMCs, and the effect of PD98059, a specific inhibitor of ERK1/2, on HAVSMCs proliferation stimulated by AGEs was also detected. Flow Cytometer (FCM) was used to detect the cell cycle transformation induced by AGEs. Western Blot was used to detect the expression of relative proteins. Results 10 mg/L AGEs observably facilitated the proliferation and the DNA synthesis of HAVSMCs and PD98059 (40 umol/L) markedly inhibited the proliferation and cell cycle evolution of HAVSMCs induced by AGEs. Furthermore, ERK1/2 phosphorylation, and PCNA were regulated by AGEs and thus it showed time and dose dependent. Conclusion AGEs participates in the proliferation of HAVSMCs by activating ERK1/2 signal path.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the epileptic seizure-like effect of Sophora alkaloid sophoridine on electroencepholography (EEG) and its possible characteristic and the mechanism of the seizure-like effect.

METHODChronic electron implantation was employed for the intracranial electroencepholography (IEEG) recording in rat, and the traditional anti-seizure drugs were for the mechanism study in mice.

RESULTCompared with the medial perforant path (PP) area and the temporal cortex (TC), the granule cells in hippocampus dentate gyrus (DG) area is more sensitive in the kindling effect by sc sophoridine. Under-threshold hypnotic dosage of diazepam and the hypnotic dosage of pentobarbital sodium can block the sophoridine kinded seizure in mice, but the phenytoin sodium can not block the seizure, also the dosage of it can block the maximal electroconvulsive shock (MES) seizure.

CONCLUSIONSophoridine-induced synchronous oscillations in the hippocampus could elicit the generation and development of seizure. And the hippocampus might play the crucial role and be the original part of the seizure. Sophoridine kinded seizure might belong to clonic seizures, and the diazepam is the ideal agent for the treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of protein kinase B on calcifition of human aorta vascular smooth muscle cells(HASMCs) stimulated by advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Methods HASMCs were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into control group,DMSO group,AGEs group and AGEs+LY294002 group. The calcification of each group was examined by von Kusaa;the expression of protein was detected by west-ern blot and ALP levels in each group by Elisa. Results The expression of bone morphogenetic protein-2(BMP-2)and osteoprotegerin(OPG)in AGEs group was significantly higher than that in control group(P < 0.05). The expression of phosphorylated AKT in AGEs group was significantly higher than that in control group (P < 0.05), and it was time and concentration dependent. Compared with that in AGEs group ,the expression of BMP and OPG in AGEs + LY294002 group was significantly decreased (P < 0.01). Conclusion AKT signaling pathway may play an important role on calcifition of HASMCs caused by AGEs.
