OBJECTIVETo comparatively study the effects of Rhubarbs from different regions on blood lipid and antioxi dation of hyperlipidemia rats.

METHODSMale rats were randomly divided into 9 groups ( n = 8) and fed with high-fat diet to replicate the hyperlipidemia model. Meanwhile, Rheum tanguticum was administrated intragastrically at two doses (3.0 g/kg and 1.0 g/kg), once a day for continuous 28 days. The effects of Rheum tanguticum planted in Gannan (RT-GN), Rheum tanguticum planted in Xinin (RT-XN) and Rheum plmatum planted in Lixian (RP-LX) were evaluated through detecting the parameters of blood lipids, blood viscosity and antioxidant system.

RESULTST-GN, RT-XN and RP-LX in the range of 1.0-3.0 g/kg could decrease the blood levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and malonaldehyde (MDA) in blood. Besides, they could reduce blood viscosity, increase high density lipoprotein (HDL) level and upregulate the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). Interestingly, their effects on blood viscosity was obviously in a dose dependent manner. In addition, the effects of RT-GN on LDL, MDA and blood viscosity were not significantly different from those of RT-XN and better than those of RP-LX.

CONCLUSIONThe RT has better hypolipidemic effects than the RP, but RT-GN and RT-XN are not different from the above effects.

Objective To observe the clinical curative effect of phentolamine in the treatment of severe hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) . Methods We observed the clinical symptoms and related index changes before and after treatment of 62 cases of severe HFMD patients who were treated by the basis of conventional therapy with additional phentolamine. The blood pressure of patients was closely monitored,and the dosage of phentolamine was adjusted. Result The blood pressure and heart rate of sick children who used phentolamine improved significantly, the difference was statistically significant ( <0.05) . Conclusion Phentolamine has significant clinical curative effect in treatment of server HFMD.

Discipline evaluation is an effective and boosting mean of constructing high level key disciplines,but if there is something wrong or flaws with the means,indicators,process,ways,the effect may be just the opposite.Therefore,establishing scientific evaluation system is an important premise to construct key disciplines,promote discipline development and improve the level of academy construction.This article which is aimed at current situation of discipline evaluation system,puts forward some major principles to establish scientific evaluation for discipline,it is significant to play a right evaluation guide and promote the discipline construction.Carrying out discipline evaluation needs to have right guiding thought,establish and perfect indicator system of discipline evaluation,strengthen orderly management of evaluation work,offer scope to stimulate function of discipline evaluation.Only in these ways,can we construct a batch of characteristic and competitive key disciplines.

OBJECTIVE:To probe into the pediatric drug counseling service and the characteristics of adverse drug reactions (ADR). METHODS:The telephone records of drug consultation from Feb. 2006 to Apr. 2008 in our hospital were statistically analyzed and the problems related to adverse drug reactions were classified. RESULTS:Among the 542 cases of drug consulting telephone records,the top 3 consulting questions were the usage and dosage of drugs (29.15%),recommendation and choice of drugs (13.28%) and drug interactions (10.52%). Of which,41 cases of ADR problems were about the use of antibacterials and Chinese traditional patent drugs. The most common manifestation of ADR was the lesion of digestive system. CONCLUSION:Drug consulting telephone service can not only enhance children patients' medication compliance and promote rational use of drugs but also improve the learning of clinical pharmacists.

ObjectiveTo study the nursing characteristics in surrounding period of operation for treating carotid artery stenosis with stenting angioplasty. MethodsThe nursing procedure for 78 cases with carotid artery stenosis were reviewed to form the duties and items of nursing, including cooperation between doctors and nurses, mentality nursing, instruction of convalescence in the pre-operation, during operation and post-operation. ResultsAll the cases has successfully finished their operative procedure and none serious complication has been found. ConclusionThe nursing play a important role in the stenting angioplasty of carotid artery.

We investigated the distribution characteristics of Yersinia enterocolitica in Ningxia ,China .In accordance with the requirements of the National Yersinia enterocolitica Disease Monitoring Scheme ,Y .enterocolitica were isolated from differ‐ent kinds of specimens collected in Ningxia in 2008 to 2013 .Then they were serotyped and detected for virulence gene and ana‐lyzed the pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) in Chinese CDC .It was found that 173 strains were isolated from various types of 9 643 specimens ,and the detection rate was 1 .79% .There were statistical differences among detection rates in differ‐ent years and in different specimens (P<0 .01) .Pathogenic serotypes O∶3 and O∶9 carried ail gene and ystA gene were de‐tected from specimens of pigs and diarrhea patient .Non‐pathogenic serotypes O∶5 and O∶8 and non‐typeable strains didn't carry ail gene and ystA gene ,and also can't be detected from swine ,cattle ,sheep ,chickens and dogs .In conclusion ,Y .en‐terocolitica was widely distributed in Ningxia and pigs were the dominant animal host .In all pathogenic serotypes ,the highest proportion was O∶3 following by O∶9 .It was no time and regional difference in the distribution of that in Ningxia ,China .

Applications of network pharmacology are increasingly widespread and methods abound in the field of drug development and pharmacological research. In this study, we choose rosiglitazone compound as the object to predict the targets and to discuss the mechanism based on three kinds of prediction methods of network pharmacology. Comparison of the prediction result has identified that the three kinds of prediction methods had their own characteristics: targets and pathways predicted were not in accordance with each other. However, the calcium signaling pathway could be predicted in the three kinds of methods, which associated with diabetes and cognitive impairment caused by diabetes by bioinformatics analysis. The above conclusion indicates that the calcium signaling pathway is important in signal pathway regulation of rosiglitazone compound, which provides a clue to further explain the mechanism of the compound and also provides a reference for the selection and application of methods of network pharmacology in the actual research.
