OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the quality of TCM decoction pieces in our hospital preliminarily and explore the solu-tions for the problem of the quality of decoction pieces purchased by the hospital. METHODS:In Jun. 2012,a system was estab-lished by our hospital,where the quality inspector was designated to daily inspect new batches of TCM decoction pieces such as ap-pearance provided by suppliers. The batches of TCM decoction piece samples inspected and those of unqualified products from Jun. 2012 to May 2014 were calculated. The reasons of unqualified products were analyzed and corresponding solutions were made. RE-SULTS&CONCLUSIONS:Over two years,a total of 94 671 batches of TCM decoction piece samples were inspected by our hos-pital,among which 737 were unqualified products predominantly because of mildew,damage by worms,greasing,containing for-eign substances and others. The solutions to such problems included interviewing the suppliers,returning or discontinuing the use of crude drugs and special focus on particular seasons and on the demand for key varieties. The unqualified products rate in the quality inspection reduced from 0.56%in Jun. 2012 to 0.34%in May 2014. Therefore,setting the post of drug quality inspector in the hos-pital can ensure the quality of TCM decoction piece purchased,however,it need to improve the inspection and acceptance of quali-ty inspection by sampling,scoring and using the new technology.

Objective To explore the effects of comprehensive rehabilitation on nutriture and medical costs in the treatment of patients with dysphagia following stroke. Methods Eighty-seven patients with dysphagia were divided into an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG). Comprehensive rehabilitation therapy including deglutition training, electric neuromuscular stimulation and acupuncture were used with the IG patients, but not with those in the CG. Nutriture parameters included a biochemistry index and a body measurement index. Medical costs were observed before and after one month of treatment for both groups. Results After one month of treatment, average deglutition scores and nutriture indices were significantly higher in the IG than in the CG. Medical costs for the IG had decreased significantly compared with the CG. Conclusions Comprehensive rehabilitation therapy improved deglutition function and slowed nutriture deterioration, while decreasing medical costs in the treatment of patients with dysphagia following stroke.

Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture penetrated from Tiaokou (ST38) to Chenshan (BL57) combined with exer-cise on affected limbs of shoulder-hand syndrome (SHS) at stage I after stroke. Methods 40 inpatients with SHS at stage I after stroke from January, 2013 to December, 2014 were randomly divided into treatment group (n=20) and control group (n=20). The treatment group accept-ed acupuncture from Tiaokou to Chenshan on unaffected sides and exercise of affected upper limbs, and the control group accetpted routine acupuncture on Triple Shoulder Acupoints on affected sides. They were assessed with Pain Rating Index (PRI), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and 4 weeks after intervention. Results The incidence of improvement was 90% in the treatment group, and 80%in the control group (χ2=0.784, P=0.376). The scores of PRI decreased (t>5.37, P<0.001), and the score of FMA and MBI increased (t>4.66, P<0.001) significantly after intervention. The score of FMA and MBI improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (t>2.25, P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture from Tiaokou to Chenshan combined with exercise is more effective on SHS at stage I after stroke than conventional Triple Shoulder Acupoints.

Objective To investigate the therapy effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on renal recovery after ischemia-reperfusion injured. Methods Seventy-two Spargue-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups as normal control, sham operated control, I/R group(n=30) and the MSCs group. Rats were subjected to 45 min bilateral renal ischemial-reperfusion injury with microvascular clips, after 60 min of reperfusion they were injected in BrdU positive MSCs(1?106/mL)intravenously. The animals were sacrificed at 12 h, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d, and 42 d after reperfusion, and the bilateral kidney and blood samples were harvested. The blood urea nitrogen(BUN) and serum creatinine(Scr) were measured on automatic biochemistry analyzer. Renal morphologic changes were scored with Paller’s criterion on hematoxylin and eosin(H&E) stained sections. The apoptosis of tubular cells were examined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL). PCNA positive tubular cells were detected immunohistochemically as proliferation index. And confocal microscopy were used to identified the distribution of BrdU positive MSCs. Results After 12 h, 3 d of reperfusion, the Scr value of MSCs group were signifcantly lower than I/R group(P
