OBJECTIVE: To study the correlation between distribution of pharmacies and that of population in Wuhan. METHODS: Pearson correlation test and Spearman's rank correlation test were applied for the statistical analysis of the correlation between distribution of pharmacies and that of population. RESULTS: The distribution of retail pharmacies was in a significant positive correlation with that of population; However, in some areas of Wuhan, the distribution of retail pharmacies was characterized by relative insufficient or oversaturation. CONCLUSIONS: Many factors led to the lack of rationality in the distribution of retail pharmacies in some area in Wuhan. Drug control department should standardize examination and approval standards and the retail pharmacies should have a reasonable overall planning.

Liver metastasis is the leading cause of death from colorectal cancer (CRC).Multidisciplinary team model has become standard strategy for the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM),making individualized treatment through precise staging and molecular typing.Preoperative hepatic and regional arterial infusion chemotherapy and portal vein chemotherapy during surgery can reduce the incidence of liver metastases for stage Ⅲ CRC.Surgical resection of CRLM has been accepted by all scholars,and can be performed by minimally invasive surgery.The criteria for hepatic resection of CRLM have been extended including complete tumor resection,negative resection margin and adequate remnant liver volume.Simultaneous resections of primary tumor and liver metastases are safe and feasible.However,neoadjuvant chemotherapy is still controversial.For unresectable liver metastases,conversion therapy should be implemented to make the liver metastases become resectable.For unconvertible and unresectable CRLM,aggressive and comprehensive treatment is required to control the disease progression.

Objective To investigate the antitumor mechanism of sodium arsenite on human gastric carcinoma cell line SGC-7901 in vitro. Methods MTT assay, light microscopy, electron microscopy, flow cytometry, and immunocytochemical staining were used to analyze the effect of sodium arsenite on biologic behavior of SGC-7901 cells. Results Sodium arsenite (2.50 ～ 40.00 ?mol/L) could inhibit the growth of gastric carcinoma cells, it depended on the duxation and concentration, and its 50% inhibitory concentration(IC50) was 8.69 ?mol/L after 72 hours' treatment. SGC-7901 cells were arrested significantly in G2/M phase treated with sodium arsenite for 48 and 72 hours. SGC-7901 cells presented typical morphologic feature of apoptosis and necrosis after exposure to sodium arsenite. Sodium arsenite up-regulated Caspase-3 protein expression in SGC-7901. Conclusion Sodium arsenite could obviously inhibit the proliferation of SGC-7901 cells, induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis and necrosis of the cells. its mechanism is possibly associated with inhibition of elimination of ROS and the up-regulated expression of Caspase-3 protein.

Objective To analyze MR imaging manifestations of spinal area lymphoma in order to improve the recognition and understanding of the disease. Methods A group of 45 patients with pathologically or clinically proven spinal area lymphoma were reviewed. Five cases were primary NHL,40 cases were secondary with 9 HL and 31 NHL (27 B-cell type NHL and 4 T-cell type NHL). MR Imaging findings were analyzed and correlated with clinical and pathologic findings. Results (1) Location of lesions: 13 cases were focal type and 32 cases were multifocal type. All of the 5 patients with primary lymphoma were focal type, while 32 of 40 cases of secondary lymphoma were multifocal type. (2) Type oflesions: ①Vertebral destruction: 27 cases manifested as bone destruction with 23 of them had soft tissuemass and the extent of soft tissue masses were larger than that of bone destruction in 18 cases.②Soft tissuemasses: 6 cases manifested as soft masses without obvious bone destruction, of which 5 cases had soft tissuemasses imbedded vertebrae and communicated paravertebral and epidural spaces through intervertebralforamen.③Bone marrow infiltration: 9 cases of secondary spinal lympboma had signal intensity changes ofbone marrow without obvious cortical bone destruction and soft tissue mass. ④ Spinal cord infiltration:3 cases of secondary spinal lymphoma had spinal cord swelling and signal intensity changes. (3) MRIfindings: all lesions of bone destruction and marrow infiltration manifested as hypointense on T1-weightedimages, hypointense, isointense or hyperintense on T2-weighted images and hyperintense on T2-weightedimages with fat-suppression technique. All soft tissue masses were homogeneous hypointense on T1-weightedimages and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. After intravenous injection of contrast media, the lesions ofthe bone and the soft tissue showed mild or moderate enhancement without remarkable cystic degenerationand necrosis. Conclusions Most of the spinal area lymphoma is the secondary B type NHL with complexMRI manifestation. Osteolytic lesion with contiguous paravertebral soft tissue mass imbedded vertebrae whichcommunicated paravertebral and epidural spaces through intervertebral foramen with a mild or moderateenhancement may suggest the diagnosis of this rare disease.

Objective To explore the effectiveness of sandplay therapy combined with family counseling in children with school phobia and its influence of child′ self-consciousness. Methods Integrative sandplay therary with family consulting were used to treat 28 patients with school phobia regularly for 2 months. Sandplay and family consulting therapy were given once a week for 45 minutes . Clinical outcomes were assessed using CGI-GI and Piers-Harris children′s self-consciousness scale before and after treatment as well as 3 months posttreatment. Results Overall response rate was 85%. In addition, the physical appearance and characteristic factor before and after treatment were no significant difference (P>0.05). The rest of the various factors and total score compared with pre-treatment significantly improved (P<0.05). After treatment for 3 months, every factor in self-consciousness of children and total score were no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion Integrative sandplay therapy with family counseling has better and long-lasting treatment effect to self-consciousness of children with school refusal.

The study aims to investigate the effect of the ratio of long axis to short axis (RLS) of upright polypropylene infusion bag on discharging process and to search the best RLS. Aiming at five different RLS (1. 5 : 1, 2 : 1, 3 : 1, 4 : 1 and 5 : 1, respectively) with the volume of 100 mL, 250 mL and 500 mL, respectively, based on finite element method, analyzing the variation of stress distribution, emptying rate, drugging space and steadiness coefficient, etc. For the bags of the same volume, emptying rate increased with increasing of RLS, but the steadiness coefficient decreased with increasing of RLS. The specific increasing amplitude of emptying rate and decreasing range of steadiness coefficient were as follows: 20% and 49% for 100 mL infusion bag, 9% and 51% for 250 mL infusion bag, and 11% and 46% for 500 mL infusion bag, respectibvely, when RLS increased from 1. 5 : 1 to 5 : 1. Comparatively speaking, the increasing amplitude of the emptying rate is remarkably less than the decreasing range of the steadiness coefficient. By comprehensive consideration of both emptying rate and steadiness coefficient, lower RLS is recommended for upright polypropylene infusion bag.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference in the clinical efficacy on infantile Tourette syndrome between the integrated therapy of acupuncture and pingganjianpi decoction and haloperidol tablets.

METHODSForty-seven children were randomized into an observation group (25 cases) and a control group (22 cases). In the observation group, acupuncture was applied to Taichong (LR 3), Baihui (GV 20), Zhongwan (CV 12), Zusanli (ST 36), etc. The needles were retained for 30 min. Acupuncture was given once a day and there were 5 days at intervals after 10 times of acupuncture. Additionally, pinggan jianpi decoction was prescribed. In the control group, haloperidol tablets were prescribed, starting from the small dose, 0. 05 mg/kg per day, twice a day. The treatment of 30 days made one session and 3 sessions were required. Yale global tic severity scale (YGTSS) was adopted to observe tic time, tic frequency and tic severity score before treatment and in 30 days, 60 days and 90 days after treatment in the two groups. The efficacy and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSThe total effective rates were 40. 0% (10/25), 64.0% (16/25) and 76.0% (19/25) in the observation group and were 59.1% (13/22), 68.2% (15/22) and 77.3% (17/22) in the control group in 30 days, 60 days and 90 days after treatment respectively. The effect in 30 days after treatment in the control group was better than that in the observation group (P<0. 05). The differences at the other time points were not significant between the two groups (all P>0. 05). The tic time, tic frequency and tic severity score at the each time point after treatment were reduced obviously as compared with those before treatment (all P<0. 05). Each item score in the control group was reduced obviously as compared with that in the observation group in 30 days after treatment (all P<0. 05). The differences at the other time points were not significant between the two groups (all P>0.05). The probability of adverse reaction in the observation group was less than that in the control group.

CONCLUSIONThe integrated therapy of acupuncture and medicine achieves the similar effect on infantile Tourette syndrome to haloperidol tablets and the side effects of it are less.
