This article reviews the epidemiological investigation of taeniasis saginata in 10 counties of 7 provinces/ autonomous regions in western China.The morphological observation of adult worms,molecular identification of 10 isolates of the worms,experimental infection on pigs and cattle with Taenia saginata and T.asiatica,observation on development and bio-logy behavior of cysticercus,and pathological changes in the intermediate host pig and cattle revealed that T.asiatica is a new species,instead of a subspecies of T.saginata.

OBJECTIVE:To promote the informationization and standardization of narcotic drug management so as to enhance the level of pharmacy management. METHODS:The function of intelligent narcotic drug management cabinet and its application in our hospital were introduced. The application effects were evaluated by comparing the indexes in 1 month(or 1 quarter)before and after the adoption of the cabinet. RESULTS:The intelligent narcotic drug management cabinet used in our hospital had such func-tions as login,getting drugs,adding drugs,expiration date management,inventory query,update,shifting of duty,record and da-ta processing. After the adoption,the inventory decreased by 35.2%,turnover rate increased by 53.4%;the time of applying for and registering narcotic drugs by the keeper of secondary warehouse respectively shortened by 84.1%(13.2 min vs. 2.1 min) and 88.9%(10.8 min vs. 1.2 min);and the incidence of external errors reduced from 3 times to once,an decrease of 66.7%. Mean-while,high integration of space improved the overall image of the pharmacy and the automatic pharmacy was constructed on a cer-tain scale and in a systematic manner. CONCLUSIONS:The application of intelligent narcotic drug management cabinet to the out-patient pharmacy can reduce the inventory cost,increase work efficiency and the safety of drug use,and make the narcotic drug management more standard,scientific and sophisticated.

Objective To observe the effects of interleukin-1 ?(IL-1?) on spontaneous electrical activity of neurons in paravenrticular nuclei,and discuss the possible mechanism.MethodsExtracellular recording technique was employed to observe the effects of IL-1? on spontaneous electrical activity of neurons in paravenricular nuclei in rat hypothalamic slices,and the influence of losartan on the electrical activity induced by IL-1? was examined.ResultsAfter exposure to IL-1?(1?10-7 mol/L),the discharge frequency was significantly increased in 46 of the 59 discharge units(78%) of neurons(P

Objective To explore possible physiological and biochemical mechanisms of Lagenidium giganteum infection in killing mosquito larvae. Methods The content of lipid and the activities of esterase and lipase between the normal and infected mosquito larvae were observed with histochemical method. The results were photomicrographed and analysed by image analysis using computer. Results In 24 hrs after infection, the content of lipid in the infected Culex quinquefasciatus larvae was lower while the activities of esterase and lipase in the larvae were higher than the control. In 48 hrs and 78 hrs after infection, the content of lipid in the infected larvae of C. quinquefasciatus and Ae. albopictus were significantly lower while the activities of esterase and lipase were significantly higher than those of control. Conclusion The content of lipid in the mosquito larvae decreased while the activities of esterase and lipase increased after the infection of Lagenidium giganteum . The disorder of lipid metabolism might be part of the killing mechanisms to C. quinquefasciatus and Ae. albopictus larvae.
