World Science and Technology-Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2013;(6):1433-1436
It has been widely accepted in modern pharmaceutical industry that quality cannot be tested into products , instead quality should be built-in by design . However , the implementation of Quality by Design ( QbD ) in development , manufacture and supervision of traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM ) still remains to be a challenge . The program of safety re-evaluation of TCM injections provides an opportunity to practice QbD approach in TCM industry . This paper discussed some potential ways that improve the quality of TCM injec-tions base on QbD related tools , including identification of critical quality attributes , critical process parameters and critical material attributes, development of design space and control strategy.
2.Clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of young non.mall cell lung cancer patients
Cancer Research and Clinic 2012;24(6):427-430
The morbidity of young non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)increases in the recent years.Young group patients should be defined as age under 40 years old.The risk factors of etiology in the young NSCLC may be related with smoking,genetic predisposition,Internal and external environment factors havoc and etc.There is no specific symptoms of young NSCLC,therefor,it happens misdiagnosis and harder to be confirmed.The morbidity in young female group of NSCLC patients is higher than aged patients.The most frequent histopathologic type is adenocarcinoma and the ratio of advanced stages with low differentiation has been found to be more common.The chances of surgery seems lower than others.EGFR gene mutation percentage in the young NSCLC maybe lower than that in the old patients,while the positive mutation of MEL4-ALK gene maybe more prevalent in the young patients.The prognosis of young NSCLC seems to be poor with lower tumor progression time of the first line therapy.Better prognosis of young NSCLC patients maybe achieved by early diagnosis and efficient therapy according to the accurate genotypes.
