OBJECTIVE:To investigate the satisfaction degree of outpatients on policy of separation of clinical pharmacy from 4 third grade hospitals in Shanghai,and provide reference for promoting medical reform policy. METHODS:Parts of outpatients in the 4 new suburb third grade hospitals were investigated by the questionnaire and interview in Shanghai city,and the data was sta-tistically analyzed by Excel software and SPSS 19.0 software. RESULTS:Totally 400 questionnaires were sent out and 368 were valid with effective recovery of 94.3%. The awareness rate of medical separation policy was 81.3% in the outpatients;55.5% of outpatients thought that medicine cost savings effect was not obvious;the overall satisfaction of patients was 91.6%,and the high-est of satisfaction was the service attitude and the lowest was medical expenses. CONCLUSIONS:Policy of separation of clinical pharmacy has reduced the medical expenses,guided the triage treatment of patients partly and improved the satisfaction of patients. It is suggested to shorten the waiting time by optimizing examination process,strengthen price regulation in drug,standardize pro-duction and distribution process,improve use rate of essential medicines and promote clinical rational drug use for further improve-ment of satisfaction.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and its receptor CC chemokine receptor-2 (CCR-2) in coronary atherosclerosis plaques between sidden coronary death (SCD) and non-SCD. Methods The expression levels of MCP-1 and CCR-2 in SCD group, coronary atherosclerosis group (non-SCD), control group (normal coronary artery) were detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Positive rates of MCP-1 among the three groups were 78%, 47%, and 0%, respectively, with significant expressing differences between each two groups (P<0.05). Positive rates of CCR-2 among three groups were 72%, 47%, and 0%, respectively, with significant expressing differences between the SCD group and coronary atherosclerosis group as well as between the SCD group and control group (P<0.05), but with no significant expressing difference between coronary atherosclerosis group and control group (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Overexpression of MCP-1 and CCR-2 in coronary atherosclerotic plaques is closely correlated with SCD.

OBJECTIVETo assess the efficacy and safety of Wuji Powder (WP) and a small dose aripiprazole in treatment of antipsychotic drug-induced phlegm dampness type amenorrhea.

METHODSSeventy female schizophrenic patients with antipsychotic drug-induced galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome (GAS) were recruited and randomly assigned to the treatment group and the control group, 35 in each group. All patients received antipsychotic drug therapy. Patients in the treatment group additionally took WP, while those in the control group took aripiprazole (at the daily dose of 5 mg, once daily). The therapeutic course for all was 4 weeks. Prolactin levels and obesity indices[body weight, waist aircumstance, body mass index (BMI) and waist-hit ratio (WHR)] were determined before and after treatment. The efficacy was evaluated.

RESULTSThe treatment course was completed in 95.71% of patients. The total effective rate of the 33 patients of the treatment group was 93.94% (31/33), while it was 91.18% (31/34) in the 34 patients of the control group. There was no difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (P > 0.05). Prolactin levels in both group after treatment were significantly lower than those of the baseline (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in prolactin levels between the two groups after treatment (P > 0.05). Compared with before treatment, body weight, BMI, waist circumstance, and waist-hip ratio obviously decreased after treatment, showing significant difference when compared with the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in body weight, BMI, waist circumstance, and waist-hip ratio in the control group between before and after treatment (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSBoth WP and aripiprazole could lower high prolactin levels of schizophrenics with phlegm dampness type amenorrhea. They showed equivalent efficacy. But WP showed more obvious effect in reducing obesity indices.

OBJECTIVETo study the inhibitory effect of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) on the pulmonary metastasis of melanoma B16 cells.

METHODSMice melanoma cells B16 were injected into the vein of the eye socket of C57BL/6J mice. The lung tissue weight and the B16 melanoma lung metastasis nodules were examined after intraperitoneal injection of As2O3. The microvessel density in the pulmonary metastatic tumor nodules was observed using HE staining and immunohistochemistry analysis for VIII-R Ag. The cell adhesion rate was detected using CellTiter 96 Aqueous One reagent.

RESULTSAs2O3 could significantly inhibit the pulmonary metastasis of B16 melanoma. The lung weight, the pulmonary metastasis nodules, and microvessels per visual field of the experimental group and the control group were 0.139+/-0.013 g and 0.353+/-0.070 g, 20.42+/-1.78 and 61.42+/-3.09, 3.25+/-0.75 and 7.50+/-1.45, respectively (all P<0.01). As2O3 showed significant effect on the cell adhesion rate, showing statistical difference between the two groups (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONSAs2O3 had significant antitumor metastasis effect. It might be correlated with inhibiting angiogenesis and enhancing the cell adhesion.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Yangxue Qingnao Granule (YQG) on the expression of CD11b in CA1 region of hippocampus of vascular dementia rats, and to explore its regulation on microglias.

METHODSTotally 144 SD rats were randomly divided into the sham-operation group, the vascular dementia model group (model), and the YQG treated group (treated). The vascular dementia rat model was prepared by modified Pulsinelli's four-vessel occlusion. Rats in the sham-operation group and the model group were administered with normal saline -(at the daily dose of 10 mL/kg) by gastrogavage, while those in the treated group were administered with YQG (0.32 g/mL, at the daily dose of 10 mL/kg) by gastrogavage. All administration was performed once per day for 8 successive weeks. The expression of CD11b in CA1 region of hippocampus of vascular dementia rats was detected at week 1, 2, 4, and 8, respectively.

RESULTSCompared with the sham-operation group, the expression of CD11b in CA1 region of hippocampus of vascular dementia rats were significantly enhanced in the model group at each time point (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression of CD11b in CA1 region of hippocampus of vascular dementia rats significantly decreased in the treated group at each time point (P < 0.01), especially at week 2.

CONCLUSIONObvious activation and proliferation of microglias could be seen in CA1 region of hippocampus of vascular dementia rats, and YQG could inhibit activation and proliferation of microglias.
