Objective To study the effect of grape seed procyanidin extract(GSPE) on the cell cycle arrest in human bladder cancer BIU87 cells and investigate the underlying molecular mechanism.Methods BIU87 cells were treated with different concentrations of GSPE(50,100 and 200 ?g/ml) and cultured for 24 h.The untreated group served as control.Flow cytometry was used to evaluate the cell cycle,and RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of CyclinD1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 4(CDK4).Results GSPE inhibited the cell growth through cell cycle arrest at G1 phrase in a dose-dependent manner.Semi-quantitated RT-PCR and Western blot analyses indicated that GSPE decreased CyclinD1 and CDK4 expressions in a dose-dependent fashion(P

Objective To investigate the relationship between leptin receptor(LEPR) gene Gln223Arg in polymorphism and serum leptin level of patients with asthma.Methods A case-control study was conducted.One hundred and ninety-two asthma patients were recruited from asthma gene library,among them 100 patients only with asthma(asthma group) and 92 patients with both asthma and metabolic syndrome(asthma complicated with metabolic syndrome group).And 108 normal people were selected as control group.Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to detect the polymorphism of LEPR gene Gln223Arg locus.Serum leptin levels were measured by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay,its relationship with asthma was analyze.Results The frequencies of genotype GG,GA,AA in asthma group,asthma complicated with metabolic syndrome group and normal control group were (83.00％ (83/100) vs.83.70％ (77/92) vs.70.37％ (76/108),15.00％ (15/100) vs.15.22％ (14/92) vs.27.78％ (30/108),and2.00％ (2/100) vs.1.08％ (1/92) vs.1.85％ (2/108) respectively).G and A alleles in asthma group,asthma complicated with metabolic syndrome group and normal control group were 90.50％ vs.91.30％vs.84.26％,9.50％ vs.8.70％ vs.15.74％ respectively.Compared with the control group,GG genotype and GA + AA genotype were different between in asthma group and asthma complicated with metabolic syndrome group.The patients with GG genotype showed 2.056 (x2 =4.599,P =0.032,OR =2.056,95％ CI =1.057-3.999) and 2.161 folds (x2 =4.907,P =0.027,OR =2.161,95 ％ CI =1.084-4.311) risk in asthma group and asthma complicated with metabolic syndrome group than that with GA + AA genotype.In terms of leptin levels,in asthma group,female were significant higher than that of control group (P =0.037,P =2.93),while in asthma complicated with metabolic syndrome group,male and female were significantly higher than control group (P =0.001,0.000 ; P =4.530,4.690).Conclusion The polymorphisms of LEPR gene locus Gln223 Arg are related with asthma.Genotype GG carrier is susceptible for the disease.In female,serum leptin is positive relationship with asthma group,especially in asthma complicated with metabolic syndrome.

OBJECTIVE:To provide some references for rational application of intravenous infusion drugs to ensure the safety of drug use. METHODS:Statistical analysis was made to irrational prescriptions intercepted by the pharmacy intravenous admixture service of our hospital from 2009 to 2013. RESULTS:There were 5,802 groups of irrational prescriptions from 2009 to 2013,accounting for 0.12% of total prescriptions. For the irrationality,the top three reasons were improper solvent dosage, drug overdose and improper solvent selection in order,and the involved types of drugs were mainly antimicrobial agents,anti-neoplastic drugs,common drugs and parenteral nutrition drugs (arranged from more to less). Under the pharmacist’s interven-tion,the percentage of irrational prescriptions of intravenous drugs reduced from 0.169 4% in 2009 to 0.082 8% in 2013. The decrease in the irrational prescriptions involving with improper administration was the most significant,followed by those related to drug overdose,frequency,prescribing errors errors improper solvent dosage,incompatibility and improper solvent. CONCLU-SIONS:Pharmacists’intervention can effectively reduce the irrational prescriptions and significantly promote rational use of in-travenous drugs.

The origin of nerves innervating the small intestine and oral part of the colon of the cat was studied by means of the retrograde axonal transport of HRP. Twelve adult cats were used in this experiment. The proximal cut end of the superior mesenteric plexus was immersed in HRP solution, in order to localize the neurons which contribute fibers to this plexus. Neurohistochemical procedures were processed according to Mesulam's tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) method. HRP labeled cells or fibers can be identified bilaterally in the following places: 1. The dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve; about 80% of the labeled cells were found in a region from 0.4mm below to 2.0 mm above the obex, approximately at the rostral two-thirds of the middle segment of this nucleus. 2. The reticular formation of medulla; only a few cells labeled and 92% of them were located in an area from 0.2, mm to 2.7 mm above the obex. 3. The coeliac-superior mesenteric ganglion complex; almost all of the labeled cells were concentrated in the caudal part of it, near the origin of the superior mesenterie plexus. 4. The nodose ganglion; most of the oval or round labeled cells were of medium or small size, their diameters vary from 30 to 40?m, and the average total numbers of the labeled cells were 661 in the left and 695 in the right ganglion respectively. 5. The spinal ganglia; small round or oval labeled cells (25～45 ?m in diameter) were found in the left T_2 to L_5 and right T_2 to L_4 ganglia, with the most heavily labeled segments at T_(13) and L_1 (left, mean 365; right, mean 34% of all labeled cells). The average total number of the labeled Cells were 1872 in the left and 1698 in the right side. 6. Transganglionic labeled fibers were seen in the gracile nuclei of one cat, suggesting that HRP molecules are transported retrogradely in the peripheral process and anterogradely in the centrally projecting process of the same neuron of spinal ganglia.

Objective To investigate the changes of morphology of injured nerve after pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) and radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFTC) on rats. Methods 55 male Wistar rats were selected, in which 5 were allocated to control group (group C) and the other 50 were randomly divided into group PRF (n=25) and group RFTC (n=25). The specimens were analyzed both with light microscopy and electron microscopy at immediate, and 1, 7, 14 and 28 d after operation. Results In group PRF, the nerve function of rats maintained after operation. The edema among nerve fibers was found under light microscope, while myelin lamellar structure disorder and myelin balls shaped, and compensatory hyperplasia of ultrastructure under electron microscopic level. Those effects were more pronounced 1 d after operation. In group RFTC, the nerve function of rats disappeared and autophagy behaviors happened, meanwhile Waller's degeneration and nerve regeneration appeared under both light microscopy and electron microscopy. Conclusion PRF and RFTC can produce destruction of nerve, but PRF was minor and recoverable.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for clinical use and revision of drug instruction manual. METHODS:The ambi-guity in drug instructions manual was summarized and countermeasures of revision were presented based on the practical clinical conditions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The problems of drug instruction manual that may mislead the patients and medical per-sonnel were as follows as controversial main contents,unclear descriptions of instruction,unfocused contents or without key points,one instruction for multiple drugs,obvious or inaccurate translations,words without popularity and standardization and wrong sentence division or non-standard typesetting. It is suggested that the manufacturers should attach highly importance to the re-vision of drug instruction manual;the revisers should understand the meaning of drugs instruction manual and know the subjects;the premarketing instructions should be tested and investigated by necessary persons;the major and cultural quality of revisers should be improved;the approval monitoring should be strengthened and the feedback mechanism should be established to further improve the instructions,guide the medical staff and patients with accurate use of drugs and ensure the safe drug use of patients.
