Objective To explore the changes of bone mineral density (BMD) and bone markers in senile osteoporosis patients treated with teriparatide,and evaluate the improvement on quality of life (QOL) as well as the clinical significance.Methods Forty-five senile osteoporosis inpatients were treated with 20 μg of teriparatide for one year.BMD and bone markers were detected before treatment and also in the third,sixth and twelfth month during treatment.The level of numerical rating scale (NRS) and QOL were assessed.Results The NRS before treatment was (4.96±2.25) , and those after treatment of 3, 6 and 12 months were(2.84±1.41), (1.56±1.16) and (1.36±1.00), respectively (P<0.01).The total scores of SF-36 significantly increased after treatment (P<0.01).After treatment of 3, 6 and 12 months, BMD of lumbar vertebra had increased 7.7%, 12.3% and 15.4%, respectively;that of femoral neck had increased 3.0%, 6.1% and 7.6%, respectively;and that of intertrochanteric bone had increased 5.7%, 8.6% and 10.0%, respectively.Meanwhile, the serum levels of osteocalcin, bone alkaline phosphatase and N terminal propeptide of type I procollagen were significantly higher than those before treatment (P<0.01), nevertheless beta collagen cross-linked C-terminal peptide (β-CTX) only significantly decreased at the 12th month after treatment (P<0.05).Conclusion Chronic teriparatide therapy could significantly relieve bone pain,improve the quality of life and increase lumbar vertebra BMD in senile osteoporosis.

Objective To discuss the effect of nicotine on the growth of rabbit tendon cells.Method 1% concetration Nicotine(0 5ml/kg) was injected into rabbit's auditive vein,then femoral vein blood was extracted at 3 minutes later. Separating blood serum and add it into F-12 medium and 10% fetal bull serum,penicillin,streptomycin,vitC which was then used to culture rabbit tendon cells, observating the time of cell number growth duplication of test group and drawn up its growth curve. The control group was treated as the test group except the rabbit was not injected by nicotine.Results The time of cell number growth duplication of test group was 9?2 1 days and the control group was 7?1 1 days,there was difference significatly between the two groups.Conclusion Nicotine can restrain the growth of rabbit tendon cells and enhance tendon's adhesiveness in post-operation.

50%),including 22 complicated with hypertension cases were retrospectively analyzed and statistics their fluid infusion volume,serum albumin levels serum sodium,blood sugar and general infections conditions were summarized,and compared with non-hypertension cases.Results The difference of fluid infusion volume between them was no significance in statistics.The difference of serum Na +,blood sugar,serum albumin levels between them was significant.All of 22 cases of hypertension had toxemia symptom,12 of 22 cases in control group occured toxemia symptom,morbidity peak of hypertension was accorded with infection morbidity peak.Conclusions General infection after burns could play an important role during the happening of hypertension after burns. We should pay more attention to the therapy of infection in treatment period.

Objective: Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutations have higher response rate and more prolonged survival following treatment with single-agent EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) compared with patients with wild-type EGFR. However, all patients treated with reversible inhibitors develop acquired re-sistance over time. The mechanisms of resistance are complicated. The lack of established therapeutic options for patients after a failed EGFR-TKI treatment poses a great challenge to physicians in managing this group of lung cancer patients. This study evaluates the in-fluence of EGFR-TKI retreatment following chemotherapy after failure of initial EGFR-TKI within at least six months on NSCLC pa-tients. Methods:The data of 27 patients who experienced treatment failure from their initial use of EGFR-TKI within at least 6 months were analyzed. After chemotherapy, the patients were retreated with EGFR-TKI (gefitinib 250 mg qd or erlotinib 150 mg qd), and the tumor progression was observed. The patients were assessed for adverse events and response to therapy. Targeted tumor lesions were as-sessed with CT scan. Results:Of the 27 patients who received EGFR–TKI retreatment, 1 (3.7%) patient was observed in complete re-sponse (CR), 8 (29.6%) patients in partial response (PR), 14 (51.9%) patients in stable disease (SD), and 4 (14.8%) patients in progres-sive disease (PD). The disease control rate (DCR) was 85.2%(95%CI=62%-94%). The median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 6 months (95%CI=1-29). Of the 13 patients who received the same EGFR-TKI, 1 patient in CR, 3 patients in PR, 8 patients in SD, and 2 patients in PD were observed. The DCR was 84.6%, and the mPFS was 5 months. Of the 14 patients who received another EG-FR-TKI, 0 patient in CR, 6 patients in PR, 6 patients in SD, and 2 patients in PD were observed. The DCR was 85.7%, and the mPFS was 9.5 months. Significant difference was found between the 2 groups in progression-free survival but not in response rate or disease control rate. Conclusion:Retreatment of EGFR-TKIs can be considered an option after failure of chemotherapy for patients who were
previously controlled by EGFR-TKI treatment.

Objective To explore the correlation between serum levels of retinol-binding protein(RBP)and β2-microglobulin(β2-MG)levels with the disease and disease outcome in patients with septic shock.Methods A total of 120 patients with sepsis admitted to Qinzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from November 2020 to November 2022 were selected as research objects,and divided into sepsis group(76 cases)and septic shock group(44 cases)according to the severity of the disease.A total of 96 healthy subjects were selected as control group.According to the 28-day disease outcome of sepsis shock group,10 patients died(worsening group)and 34 patients survived(outcome group).Serum RBP and β2-MG levels were detected by immunoturbidimetry within 24 h after admission.Serum RBP and β2-MG levels were compared among all groups.Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum RBP and β2-MG on the disease outcome of patients with septic shock.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors affecting the disease outcome of patients with septic shock.Results WBC count,procalcitonin,C reactive protein level,acute physiology and chronic health status score system Ⅱ score,se-quential organ failure assessment(SOFA)score in sepsis shock group were higher than those in sepsis group and control group,and platelet count was lower than those in sepsis group and control group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Serum RBP and β2-MG levels in sepsis shock group were higher than those in sepsis group and control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The levels of serum RBP and β2-MG in the worsening group were higher than those in the outcome group,and the differ-ence was statistically significant(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of ser-um RBP and β2-MG combined to evaluate the outcome of septic shock disease was 0.910(95％CI:0.865-0.955).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that serum RBP,β2-MG,C reactive protein and SO-FA score were all risk factors affecting the disease outcome of septic shock patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum levels of RBP and β2-MG in patients with septic shock are increased,and the changes of both levels are related to the disease outcome.The combined application has a better predictive value for the disease outcome in patients with septic shock.

This study was aimed to reveal the species characteristics of Chinese patent medicines for antitussive ef-fect and provide references for developing new drugs. This research targeted Chinese patent medicines for antitussive effect which were included in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China and the New National Chinese Patent Medicines as well as those characterized by keywords such as cough cure, cough alleviating, antitussive effect, cough, persistent cough. The analysis was made on the species characteristics, such as the number of Chinese patent medicines for antitussive effect, license number, ethnomedicine patent medicines, drugs for children use, protection of varieties of traditional Chinese medicine, the number of drugs, the generic names of drug, and drug forms. The results showed that 684 Chinese patent medicines for antitussive effect collected in this research had ac-counted for 8.60% of the total 7 260 of Chinese patent medicines. A total of 7 450 license numbers were approved, and 33% of the Chinese patent medicines shares one license number. One Chinese patent medicine owns 16.6 li-cense numbers on average. Ethnomedicine patent medicines had 3 Tibetan prescriptions such as the Shiwuwei Chenxiang pill and 4 Mongolian prescriptions, such as the Siwei Tumuxiang powder. Drugs for children accounted for 14%, including 9 forms. The type of the generic names of drug reached 16 and most of them originate from abbrevia-tions of the main drug in prescription. The number of drugs in prescription ranges from 8 to 16. Chinese patent medicines for antitussive effect involved 16 forms, of which the proportion of the use of solid preparation was higher than the liquid preparation. It was concluded that Chinese patent medicines for antitussive effect were characterized by such advantages such as a variety of species, various forms, the reasonable number of drugs, considerable medicine retail market share and drug for children use which can meet the clinical needs, and meanwhile some prob-lems, such as a lack of criteria for the generic names of drug, the homogenization of fierce competition, and inade-quacy of ethnomedicine patent medicines.

This study was aimed to reveal characteristics of functions, main indications and applications of Chinese patent medicines in order to provide references for development of new Chinese patent medicines for antitussive ef-fect. Chinese patent medicines recorded in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China and the New Na-tional Chinese Patent Medicines were taken as research subjects. Chinese patent medicines classified in the function and indication with key words of cough-relieving, cough-suppressing, cough and chronic cough were col-lected. Analysis was made on the prescription characteristics, such as functions, main indications and applications. The results showed that there were 684 Chinese patent medicines and 462 terms, which were used for a total of 1533 times. The frequently-used terms are antitussive effect with expectorant, antitussive effect, expectorant, heat-clearing and exterior-releasing, antiasthmatic, wind-expelling and antipyretic, antitussive effect with antiasthmatic, purging lung heat, relieving exterior syndrome and moistening the lungs. All 684 Chinese patent medicines were used 48 ma-jor treatments for a total of 1107 times. The main indications include acute and chronic trachitis / bronchitis, exoge-nous wind-heat type of common cold, exogenous wind-cold type of common cold, cough with abundance of phlegm due to phlegm-heat obstructing the lung, acute upper respiratory tract infection, asthma, acute and chronic pharyngi-tis, lung heat cough, and etc. All 684 Chinese patent medicines used a total of 537 kinds of herbs and chemical medicines, including 441 kinds of herbal medicine, 36 kinds of animal medicine, 25 kinds of mineral medicine and 35 kinds of chemical medicine. The top ten herbs in terms of using frequency are Glycyrrhizae radix et rhizoma, Platycodonis radix, Armeniacae semen amarum, Menthae haplocalycis herba, Citri reticulatae pericarpium, Ephedrae herba, Scutellariae radix, Perilla frutescens (L.) Britt, Pinelliae rhizoma, Fritillariae cirrhosae bulbus. Among them, 1/4 of Chinese patent medicines used extract. Five kinds of food or fruits were also used, which were orange, fresh gin-ger, pear, watermelon and dried mushroom. It was concluded that Chinese patent medicines for antitussive effect can be adopted in the treatment of various kinds of diseases, especially for the treatment of cough(heat cough in partic-ular), abundance of phlegm, asthma, pharyngitis, laryngitis, and etc. The treatment methods of clearing heat, dis-pelling wind and relieving exterior syndrome played an important role in the realization of antitussive effect. However, the expression of functions and main indications is far from standardized and clear. Drugs commonly used are herbal medicine plus animal medicine, mineral medicine and chemical medicine as well as food and fruit. The discovery of preparations with certain clinical curative effect from ethnomedicine and the using of their extracts as a major ingre-dient are one important way to develop new Chinese patent medicines with antitussive effect.
