As an essential part of modern medical service,pharmaceutical care gains more and more attention in the field of medication. The goal of pharmaceutical care is to effectively control rational administration of drugs, improve the therapeutic efficacy and avoid adverse drug reactions.Pharmacology,as the key basis of pharmacy,directly determines the level of pharmaceutical care.Therefore,development of pharmacology,especially for the clinical pharmacology,plays an important role in enforcing capability of clinical pharmacists.In this article,we summarized the functions of medical care in medical practice based on the Chinese medication.Authors described the relationship of pharmacology and medical care in the medication for cancer, infectious diseases, and chronic diseases. Authors proposed that the rational drug administration under the guidance of pharmacology is the core point to evaluate the quality of clinic pharmaceutical care,and the final goal of which is to increase the benefit of medication and guide the training of pharmacists in China.

Objective To promote the clinical practice of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) coated prosthesis in order to improve its biological fixation. Methods There were 12 healthy mongrels, weighted from 20 to 25 kg. They were randomly divided into 3 groups according to the scarified time. The bilateral femurs were adopted as the graft areas, and 4 kinds of implant were transplanted into each femur randomly. The transplant consisted of porous-coated anatomic(PCA group), PCA combined with BMP (BMP group), PCA combined with hydroxyapatite(Composite group), and polish PCA combined with HA (HA group). The femurs of the mongrels were retrieved at the 4th, 8th and 12th week respectively. Bone ingrowth and shear strength between the interfaces of the bone-implant were studied, using X-ray, soft X-ray, fluorescence tag, non-decalcification ground section, computer-aided image analysis, and histological examinations. Results By gross observation, the composite for the group of PCA with BMP was the most stable in all the experimental groups. All implants showed good histocompatibility, the bone ingrowth on the implant surface appeared earlier in the BMP group than any others, and so did the maturation of new bone. At 4th week, the percent of new bone formation in the BMP group was 26.58%?4.56%, which was also much higher than PCA group (18.28%?2.46%), Composite group (17.23%?2.11%), and HA group(16.89%?3.13%) through the means of non-decalcified ground section and computer aided image analysis, and the difference was of statistical significance(P0.05). Conclusion The composite of BMP to the PCA is effective and feasible procedure, which could increase biological fixation of the interfaces between the bone and implant. Furthermore, HA coating is also an effective method of prosthesis surface treatment in order to improve bone ingrowth and enhance the interface shear strength, and the technique of HA coating is an essential factor in processing the prosthesis.

Objective To explore the metabolic characteristic of prostate cancer (PCa) in central gland with magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopic, and evaluate the value of MRS in the differential diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia nodus. Methods MR images were performed in 38 cases with prostate disease by 3.0T MR, 11 cases with PCa in central gland and 27 cases with benign prostatic hyperplasia nodus. All the cases were scanned by routine, then by the combined MRS. MRS findings were reviewed in 27 cases with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and 11 cases with PCa (3 in central gland origin, 8 with large tumor invading both peripheral zone and central gland). (Cho+Cr)/Cit ratios of PCa and BPH were retrospectively measured, (Cho+Cr)/Cit of PCa voxels were compared with that of BPH voxels. Results Significantly higher choline levels and lower citrate levels were observed in central gland of PCa compared with BPH. In the glandular BPH region, the amount of Cit was high; while in the stromal region, the Cit and Cho level was much lower. The average (Cho+Cre)/Cit values of PCa and BHP were 1.94±1.43 and 0. 83±0. 28 respectively, the difference in ratio between both was statistically significant (P<0. 01). Conclusions The combined use of MRI and MR spectroscopy is propitious for differentiating prostate cancer in central gland and benign prostatic hyperplasia nodus and for increasing the diagnostic accuracy of prostate cancer.
