Objective: To investigate the effect of irrational use of traditional Chinese patent medicines (CPM) on medication safety.Methods: The adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports on traditional CPM (including traditional Chinese medicine for injection) in our hospital during January 2013 to October 2016 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.After finding the corresponding prescriptions, the situation of irrational drug use in the reports including indications, usage and dosage, combination of traditional CPM, combination of Chinese and western medicines and course were analyzed, and the rate of irrational drug use was calculated.Results: A total of 217 reports were collected including 217 patients.The primary diseases ranked top three were cardio-cerebral vascular system diseases, digestive system diseases and respiratory system diseases.The cases involved 81 kinds of drugs, and among them, 37 cases were induced by Shenmai injection.The rate of irrational drug use associated with indications, usage and dosage, combination of traditional Chinese patent medicines, combination of Chinese and western medicines and course was 6.45% , 5.99% , 2.76% , 0.92% and 1.84% , respectively, and the total rate was 17.97% (39/217).Conclusion: The irrational drug use maybe one of the important factors related to ADR of CPM.According to syndrome differentiation, CPM should be used rationally, and pharmaceutical care should be strengthened to reduce the incidence of ADR.

?AIM:To compare the curative effect of conjoint fascial sheath( CSF) suspension and levator muscle resection for moderate or severe congenital ptosis.?METHODS: Forty - three patients ( 74 eyes ) with moderate or severe ptosis were treated by CSF suspension or levator muscle resection randomly, and followed up for 6mo. The normalization rates of the two operations were then compared by statistical method, and the complications of the two operations were analyzed.?RESULTS: The two operations appeared no significant difference on the normalization rate for moderate congenital ptosis (P>0. 05), while the normalization rate of CSF suspension on severe congenital ptosis was significantly higher than that of levator muscle resection (P<0. 05). Less complication was happened in the CSF suspension group than in the levator muscle resection group.?CONCLUSION:CSF suspension is more effective on the treatment of severe congenital ptosis than levator muscle resection, and has advantages such as less trauma, repeatable, and less complication.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for developing the antibiotic community pharmaceutical care. METHODS:Some residents of Jiangbei district of Ningbo were randomly collected for questionnaire survey on antibiotic storage,usage,accep-tance degree and demand of pharmaceutical care,etc. And the results were analyzed statistically. RESULTS:Totally 2 000 ques-tionnaires were sent out,1 784 were effectively received with effective rate of 89.2%. 74.2% of respondents had kept antibiotics in house;61.3% lacked antibiotic knowledge and easily be confused with anti-inflammatory drugs,43.5% thought antibiotics was ef-fective for virus infections;48.4% had self-treated with antibiotics,the most common reason was cold symptoms,and it existed amount or course of antibiotics changes by themselves;only 15.1%of them had knew or heard of pharmaceutical care;majority re-spondents(88.9%)wanted to accept antibotic pharmaceutical care,hoping to learn the indications,usage and dosage,contraindica-tions,precautions and adverse reactions of antibiotics by drug consultation,lecture,etc. CONCLUSIONS:The residents lack the knowledge about rational use of antibiotics,it is urgent for pharmacists to provide antibiotic community pharmaceutical care for resi-dents with purpose,which are important guarantee for rational use of antibiotics.

Objective To explore the residual undifferentiated mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in embryoid bodies. Methods Mouse R1 and Oct-4-GFP transgenic ESCs were firstly cultured in suspension to form embryoid bodies (EBs). Twenty days later, EBs were digested into single cells and then re-plated in standard ESC culture condition. The morphology of residual undifferentiated cells in EBs was observed, and surface makers and in vitro redifferentiation potency of residual cells were examined by flow cytometry and immunofluoreseent staining. The residual cells were expanded and subcutaneously injected into nude mice, and the specimens were harvested from the injection site for histological analysis 6 weeks after injection. Results There were residual undifferentiated ESCs in EBs differentiated for 20 days, which displayed clonal morphology and expressed undifferentiated cell markers of ESCs, including SSEA1, CD31, CD9 and Oct-4. The cells could be differentiated to form EBs again, and could be re-expanded from secondary EBs. The residual cells were able to form teratoma at the injection site, and mature endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm tissues could be found in teratoma tissues. Conclusion There are residual undifferentiated ESCs after differentiation of ESCs into EBs. The residual ESCs can differentiate again in vitro and in vivo, and can residue again in the in vitro differentiation.

Objective: Rumination is a maladaptive emotional-regulation strategy that is strongly associated with depression. Impaired executive function can lead to difficulties in disengaging from rumination, thus exacerbating depression. In this study, we inspect an electroencephalograph neurofeedback protocol that enhance the target peak alpha frequency (PAF) activation in the prefrontal region. We examine the protocol’s effects on depression and rumination. Methods: We randomly assigned 30 dysphoric participants into either the neurofeedback training group or the control group. We then evaluated their depression, rumination, and executive function at pre- and posttraining so as to examine the effects of the neurofeedback. Results: The results show that this neurofeedback protocol can specifically enhance participants’ target PAF. The participants’ executive function performances significantly improved after undergoing 20 neurofeedback sessions. Compared with those in the control group, those in the neurofeedback group had significantly fewer depressive symptoms and significantly reduced rumination. Moreover, as target PAF and executive function improved, depression and rumination both declined. Conclusion Our data are in line with those of previous studies that indicated a relationship between upper-band alpha activity and executive function. This PAF neurofeedback can effectively enhance participants’ executive function, which can reduce rumination and ameliorate depression. This neurofeedback training is based on basic cognitive neuroscience, so it sheds light on depression’s pathological factors and etiology.

Objective： The current stady was designed to investigate the reconstitution of T cell receptor repertoire in the patients with chronic Graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). Methods： The TCR repertoire in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 5 cGVHD patients was examined after PCR amplification of 24 Vβ gene subfamilies. Results： Only 2－8 Vβ subfamily T cells were found in the samples from these patients, and there were different demonstrations in different patients. We found Vβ T cells proliferated in 4 patients. Conclusion： The TCR repertoire complexities was abnormal in all patients,Vβ may be associated with cGVHD, and the method may be demonstrated the reconstitution of T cell after transplantation.

OBJECTIVETo study the mechanism of delayed emptying indigestible solids in thoracic stomach after the resection of esophageal cancer by monitoring the variety of antropyloroduodenal migrating motor complex (MMC) during interdigestion.

METHODSEsophagectomy and gastroesophagostomy in the neck was performed in 5 men with esophageal cancer. An eight-lumen manometric sleeve assembly was passed through a nostril into the duodenum during operation. The sleeve was astride the pylorus. Antropyloroduodenal manometry was performed for at least 300 min with a polygraphic system (PC POLYGRAF HR) 7 - 11 days after operation.

RESULTSTwenty-eight MMCs were recorded in the pylorus and duodenum, 12 MMC(s) in the antrum, and 33% (4/12) of the motility frequency of antral phases III started after that of pyloroduodenal phases III. The number of MMC in the antrum was lower than that in the duodenum after the operation. The mean duration of MMC of the antrum, pylorus and duodenum was (49.2 +/- 10.5) min, (46.5 +/- 10.4) min and (45.9 +/- 10.0) min respectively. The mean duration of phases III was respectively (6.7 +/- 3.5) min in the antrum, (10.0 +/- 3.5) min in pylorus, and (8.0 +/- 3.9) min in duodenum. The mean wave amplitude of phases III was respectively (83 +/- 30) mm Hg in the antrum, (60 +/- 12) mm Hg in pylorus, and (55 +/- 4) mm Hg in duodenum. The mean duration of MMC of the antrum and duodenum was shorter in patients than that in healthy volunteers, and the mean wave amplitude of phases III of the antrum was lower in patients than that in healthy volunteers.

CONCLUSIONSDiminution of the number of MMC and the mean wave amplitude of phases III in the antrum, incoordination of the antropyloroduodenal phases III should be the most important one of the mechanisms of delayed emptying of indigestible solids in thoracic stomach after the resection of esophageal cancer.
