OBJECTIVE:To reduce the types of drugs which was not consistent with the accounts in monthly checking of out-patient department,reduce the wastage of dismounted drugs and improve dismounted drug management. METHODS:Through qual-ity control circle(QCC),analyzing the reasons for inconformity of accounts and drugs,adopting relevant countermeasures of staff training,cipher prescription,counter storage,managed by designated person,expiry data management and so on,the process of dismounted drug management was formulated and implemented. The types of drugs which was not consistent with the accounts and activity growth value of circle members were analyzed statistically before,during and after QCC. RESULTS:The types of drugs which was not consistent with the accounts were 33.6,21.2 and 13.6 before,during and after QCC,decreasing by 59.5%. The ac-tivity growth value of circle members were all positive value. CONCLUSIONS:QCC of outpatient pharmacy can effectively reduce the types of drugs which is not consistent with the accounts in monthly checking,standardize dismounted drug management and im-prove pharmaceutical care quality.

Objective:To understand suicide prevention knowledge, suicide attitude and related factors among undergraduates in Changsha.Methods:Using multistage stratified cluster sampling, a total of 1664 undergraduates from six universities in Changsha were tested with Suicide Awareness Questionnaire, Suicide Attitude Questionnaire (QSA), Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Check List (ASLEC), Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ) and Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90). Results:The mean score of suicide awareness among undergraduates was 10.8?0.9 and the correct response rate was 54.5%. The result of suicide awareness score showed, female undergraduates had a lower score than males (9.2?0.8, 12.3?0.8;t=2.33, P=0.020), medical undergraduates had a higher score than ones of humanities and social science or engineering (13.9?0.8, 10.0?1.0, 9.7?0.7;F=10.47, P=0.000), undergraduates from one-child families had a higher score than ones from non-one-child families (11.9?0.7, 9.1?0.9;t=3.25, P=0.034), and college students from nuclear family had a higher score than ones from extended families or one-parent families (14.0?0.9, 10.3?0.8, 9.4?0.7;F=7.49, P=0.000). The major factors related to suicide awareness were gender, specialty and family type (?=0.087, 0.342 and 0.084, respectively). And the major factors related to attitude towards attributes of suicide behaviors were specialty, gender, suicide ideation and mental health status (?=0.688, -0.055, 0.810 and 0.731, respectively). Conclusions:College students in Changsha have severe misunderstands about suicide prevention. It is necessary to pay more attention to the education of suicide knowledge and to cultivate the correct suicide attitude among college students.

group Nor(P0.05).Conclusions The changes of ambulatory pulse pressure can reflect the degree of EH.The obvious increase of PP and decrease of DBP maybe are the exclusive features of ABPM in EH patients with target organs damage.

Objective To investigate the infection sites,the offending species,diagnosis and prognosis of deep fungal infections (DFI) in patients with systemic lupus erythcmatosus (SLE).Methods Fifty-one patients with fungal infections in 1466 SLE patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) Hospital from 2000 to 2006 were reviewed retrospectively.Results Candida albicans was ranked the first pathogen,followed by ncoformans and Aspergillus species.The infection sites were lungs,cerebral meninges and blood in the order of prevalence.The overall mortality was 20%(10/51).Aspergillasis carried the highest mortality which couht be as high as 80%.Hypoproteinemia,multiple focus of fungal infections,Aspergillasis and fungemia might he the independent risk factor for mortality.Conclusion Candida albicans is the most frequent species of fungal infections in SLE patients.Iungs are the most prevalent location of infection.Earlier diagnosis is important.Special attention should be paid to aspergillasis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and prognostic factors of radiotherapy in 162 patients with stage I and II non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Between December 1982 and August 1992, 168 patients with stage I and II NSCLC were treated, with 116 confirmed by histopathology and 52 by cytopathology. All patients received radiotherapy to a dose of 40-76 ?Gy and were followed up for more than five years. Results The overall 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 67.6%, 28.0% and 15.7%. Absence of concurrent disease and Karnofsky performance status ≥80 were favorable prognostic factors. Conclusions Radiotherapy is effective for stage I and II non-small cell lung cancer patients who are contraindicated for surgery. Higher dose of radiotherapy is recommended to improve the local control and survival rate.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of Qinghuang Powder (QHP) combined Chinese herbs for Pi-strengthening and Shen-reinforcing (CHPSSR) on hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha) in bone marrow mononuclear cells of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients.

METHODSChanges of HIF-1alpha in bone marrow mononuclear cells of MDS patients were detected in 25 MDS patients treated by QHP combined CHPSSR using flow cytometry. Meanwhile, 13 healthy subjects were recruited as the control group. Changes HIF-1alpha levels in various serial bone marrow mononuclear cells were detected.

RESULTS(1) Among the 25 patients in the treatment group, there were 19 patients effective and 6 patients ineffective, with the total effective rate being 76%. (2) Compared with before treatment, levels of peripheral blood WBC, Hb, PLT, and ANC significantly increased in the treatment group after treatment, showing statistical difference (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). (3) Compared with before treatment, the HIF-1alpha mean fluorescence intensity was enhanced in bone marrow lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, and nucleated red blood cells of the treatment group after treatment (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, the HIF-1alpha mean fluorescence intensity was weakened in bone marrow lymphocytes, monocytes, and nucleated red blood cells of the treatment group before treatment; while it was obviously enhanced in granulocytes (P < 0.01). But after treatment the HIF-1alpha mean fluorescence intensity increased more in the granulocytes of the treatment group than in those of the control group (P < 0.01), but there was no statistical difference in bone marrow lymphocytes, monocytes, or nucleated red blood cells.

CONCLUSIONQHP combined CHPSSR could improve HIF-1alpha levels in bone marrow lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, and nucleated red blood cells of MDS patients, thus improving Hb levels of MDS patients, and improving their anemia and correlated symptoms.

AIM: To establish the method for determination of luteolin and isorhamnetin in Duyiwei Capsules (Lamiophl mis rotata(Benth.)Kudo). METHODS:Yilite-C_(18) column was used.The mobile phase was composed of methanol-water(50∶50),pH was adjusted to 3.0 with H_3PO_4.The flow rate was 0.8 mL?min~(-1) and detection wave-length was set at 360 nm. RESULTS:The linear range of Luteolin was 7.072-35.360 ?g?mL~(-1),(r=(0.999 7)) and the linear range of isorhamnetin was 1.658-8.290 ?g?mL~(-1)(r=0.999 2). The average recovery and RSD of luteolin were 96.3% and 2.7%,respectively. The average recovery and RSD of isorhamnetin were 97.3% and 2.1%,respectively. CONCLUSION:This method is sensitive,accurate and can be used for the quality study of Duyiwei Capsules.

AIM: To determine the effect of suction duration on thickness and diameter of corneal flap created by microkeratome in porcine eyes in laser in situ kerato-mileusis (LASIK).METHODS: Sixty porcine eyes were randomly assigned to three groups according to different suction durations: group 1 (10 seconds), group 2 (20 seconds), and group 3 (30 seconds). A Moria M2 microkeratome (Moria, France) with a 160μm head was used to create a corneal flap. Corneal flap thickness was measured by automated ultrasonic pachymetry, and the flap diameter was measured by a vernier caliper.RESULTS: The flap thickness of group 1, group 2 and group 3 was 146.05±13.46μm, 157.35±18.95μm and 169.25±21.02μm, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference among three groups (P=0.001). The mean flap diameter in groups 1, 2 and 3 was 8.63±0.19mm, 8.89±0.24mm and 9.06±0.18mm, respectively. A statisti-cally significant difference was found among groups (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: In LASIK in porcine eyes, an increase in suction duration resulted in a thicker and greater flap.
