OBJECTIVE:To investigate the status quo and causes of adverse drug reaction(ADR) caused by traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) in our hospital.METHODS:154 ADR cases reported in our hospital from Feb.2008 to Jun.2009 were analyzed statistically in respect of age and gender of patients,organs and systems involved in ADR and its clinical manifestation.RESULTS:Main clinical manifestations were lesion of skin and its appendents.Most of ADR cases were caused by TCM injections.CONCLUSION:Great importance should be attached to TCM injections and its monitoring to reduce the incidence of ADR.

Objective To study the effects of methylene blue(MB), a soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor , on intestinal perfusion and oxygenation in dogs with septic shock.Methods A septic shock model was established by lipopolysaccharide infusion.After resuscitation with normal saline infusion,2mg/kg MB was infused within 15min in seven dogs.Blood flow of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was measured respectively at baseline,post shock for 1h, after resuscitation and 30min after MB injection.Blood gas analysis was done , and oxygenation was calculated.Results Blood flow of the SMA was significantly decreased by 61 8%(P0 0 5 ) ,butO2 extrincreasedby 14 8% .Conclusions Septicshockindogsresultsinadecreaseinintestinalperfusionandanincreasein oxygenextraction ,whichcanbeimprovedbyMBinjection .Theintestinalperfusionispartlyincreasedbyvolumetherapy .

AIM: To explore the role of endogenous ouabain (EO) in the development of hypertension and its secretion character in 1k1c hypertensive rats(HR). METHODS: EO contents of plasma and tissues in 1k1c HR were detected by ELISA. The relationships between plasma and tissues ouabain and blood pressure were analyzed. RESULTS: EO contents of plasma, heart, kidney, adrenal gland, pituitary and hypothalamus in lklc HR were significantly higher than those of normal rats, especially in the adrenal gland and hypothalamus. EO contents of serum, kidney and hypothalamus were correlated with blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS: EO might play an important role in the development of hypertension in 1k1c hypertensive rats. Adrenal gland might be the major source of EO.

Objective To evaluate the relation of circadian blood pressure rhythm with vascular status in elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension.MethodsAnkle-brachial index (ABI),brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) were measured in 74 elderly patients with non-dipper hypertension (non-dipper group)、78 elderly patients with dipper hypertension ( dipper group),and 72 healthy controls ( control group).Results In comparison with the dipper group,baPWV and IMT of the non-dipper group were significantly increased [ baPWV (1801.61± 314.27) vs (1658.67±274.80) (cm/s)],P＜0.01; IMT:(0.96 ±0.22) vs (0.87 +0.19) (mm),(P＜0.05),while ABI of the non-dipper group was decreased (1.03 ±0.17 vs1.12 ±0.18,P＜0.01).Identification rate was significantly different among 3 groups when baPWV ＞1400 cm/s (x2 =12.57,P ＜0.01) or ABI ＜0.9 ( x2 =9.74,P ＜0.01).The detection of carotid plaques was also significantly different ( x2 =16.49,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions These findings suggest that vascular damage could be found in elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension,especially in those with non-dipper hypertension.ABI,baPWV and IMT measurement may be helpful for the assessment of vascular status.

Objective To study the effect of hyaluronidase and VEGF on human breast cancer invasion and metastasis. Methods By means of ELSA and immunohistochemistry, hyaluronidase and VEGF were detected in breast cancer. Results Hyaluronidase were (3.99?1.91) mU/g, (8.01?2.59) mU/g and (12.00?3.96) mU/g in gradeⅠ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ of breast cancer respectively. Hyaluronidase levels were significantly elevated in grade Ⅱ,Ⅲ as compared to grade Ⅰ, Hyaluronidase levels were significantly elevated in grade Ⅲ as compared to grade Ⅱ(P

Objective To detect the micro flow signals of carotid plaque by ultrasound B-flow imaging (BFI) and elucidate its relationship with acute cerebral infarction.Methods A total of 63 patients with carotid plaques were divided into 2 groups.acute cerebral infarction (ACI,n =48) and control (n =15).BFI was used to detect the micro flow signals of plaques and comparisons were made with the categorizing results of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEU).The data were analyzed between two methods.Results The micro flow signals were detected in 15.7％ (22/140)patients in the ACI group vs.2.3％(1/44) in the control group.There were more signals in hypoechoic plaques.The detection percentage of micro flow in grade Ⅲ was significantly higher than that in grades Ⅰ and Ⅱ with CEU (P =0.005,P =0.027).No significant differences existed between grades Ⅲ and Ⅳ (P =1.000).Conclusion BFI can detect effectively the micro flow signals of carotid plaques and this characteristic is correlated with the symptoms of ACI.

Objective To evaluate the value of CYRTA21-1,CEA and SPECT in diagnosis of bone metastasis in lung cancer.Methods 216 patients with lung cancer were examined by radionuclide bone imaging and serum CYFRA21-1,CEA.20 patients with benign lung disease were also studied.Results 121 of the 216 lung cancer patients were confirmed bone metastasis including 101 multi-metastasis and 20 singu- lar-metastasis. The positive rate was 56.02 %.The serum CYFR21-1,CEA level and positive rate of lung cancer patients with bone metastasis were obviously higher than those of patients without bone metastasis or with benign lung disease.The level of serum CYFR21-1,CEA had significant difference(P
