Objective To explore the value of tiotropium bromide in the treatment of patients with bronchiectasis accompanied by obstructive ventilation dysfunction.Methods 45 patients with bronchiectasis accompanied by obstructive ventilation dysfunction who were treated in the third people’s hospital of Haikou city from January 2014 to January 2015 were selected, and divided into control group (22 cases) and experimental group (23 cases) with the randomized controlled methods.The control group received routine treatment and experimental group received tiotropium bromide powder inhalation for a 8 week’s consecutive treatment.The pulmonary function, blood gas were compared and analyzed by BORG dyspnea score, six-minutes walk test (6MWT) and St.George’s respiratory questionnaire ( SGRQ).Results After treatment, maximal voluntary ventilation ( MVV) (%) in experimental group was significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.05), but there were no significant differences in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), FEV1 (%), forced vital capacity ( FVC) (%) and FEV1/FVC between two groups.The PaCO2 in experimental group was significantly higher than that in control group ( P <0.05 ), but there was no significant difference in PaO2 between two groups.The 6MWD in experimental group was significantly higher and SGRQ values was lower than those in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Long-term and regular usage of tiotropium bromide powder inhalation could improve pulmonary ventilation function and improve the quality of life of patients with bronchiectasis accompanied by obstructive ventilation dysfunction.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Shengji Ointment (SO) (by external use) in treating infective ulcer patients with yang syndrome (YS).

METHODSA multicenter, stratified, randomized controlled clinical study was used in this study. A random digit table was formed in the ratio of 3:1,440 infective ulcer patients of YS from 5 centers were recruited, 330 in the treatment group (external use of SO, exchange once every 24 h) and 110 in the control group (external use of Votalin, exchange once every 24 h). The therapeutic course consisted of 21 days. The ulcer area, wound depth, pain degree were observed before treatment at day 3, 7, 14, and 21, and safety indices monitored at the same time.

RESULTSThe ulcer area was significantly reduced in the treatment group after 21-day medication, obviously superior to that of the control group (P = 0.002). Ulcer areas at different time points were analyzed. From the 7th day of medication the reduced area was obviously less in the treatment than in the control group (P = 0.002). Besides, the longer the more obvious difference. Compared with the control group, the healing rate of ulcer area, the pain disappearance rate, and the healing rate of ulcer depth were all obviously improved in the treatment group (all P < 0.01). No adverse event occurred in the two groups.

CONCLUSIONSExternal use of SO was safe and effective in treating infective ulcer patients with YS. It could accelerate wound healing with better analgesic effect.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate and analyze the storage temperatures of drugs for references of drug storage. METHODS: A classified statistical analysis was conducted on those drugs with temperature requirements in storage as instructed in drug package inserts. RESULTS: The stock drugs totaled 1 254 kinds,of which,483 (38.52%) had the item of temperature requirements in storage,158 with room temperature storage and 61 with cold storage had the item of specific temperature requirement. CONCLUSION: The storage temperature of drugs should be established based on the quality of different drugs so as to ensure the stability of drug quality. It is advisable to clarify the storage temperature in all the drug package inserts.

Objective To study the value of three internal fixation devices (interlocking intramedullary nail, cloverleaf type intramedullary nail ,compression plate) in treatment of fractures of femural shaft. Methods All the patients were divided into three groups randomly. 32 patients were treated with the interlocking intramedullary nail , 67 patients with the cloverleaf type intramedullary nail, and 47 patients with the compression plate. Results After the three internal fixation devices were used in the fractures of femural shaft. All the patients were followed up for 6 months to 144 months. The total rates of postoperative deformity healing and delayed healing and nonunion were 3.1%, 6.0%and 10.6%respectively. The rates of the internal fixation failure were 0%, 4.5%and 17.0%respectively. The rates of excellent function recovery of lower limbs were 81.3%, 70.1%and 59.6%. Conclusions The data show that the curative effects of the interlocking intramedullary nail is better than those of the cloverleat type intramedullary nail and the plate in treatment to fracture of femural shaft.

Objective To investigate the differences of the working memory tasks' performance between the patients with no neurological syphilis disease and the health controls (HC).Methods 2-back test of N-back task paradigm were applied to measure the performances of working memory.A total of 30 patients with syphilis disease were compared with 35 gender-,age-,years of education-matched healthy persons,then compared the accurate rate and reaction time on the tasks between the two groups.Results Participants with anxiety or depression had to be excluded.The results showed that patients impaired on working memory task.The accurate rate and reaction time of the working memory of the patients was worse than that of the healthy persons ((65.31 ± 8.78) ％ vs (71.00 ±9.64)％ ;(1521.14 ±290.57)ms vs (1296.08 ±253.20)ms respectively) (t=-2.472,P=0.016;t=3.337,P =0.001 respectively).The study indicated the reaction time of the working memory for the patients was negative correlation to the age of final diagnosis (r =-0.362,P =0.049).Conclusion The patients with no neurological syphilis disease show impairment on working memory.This probably because treponema pallidum injures the central nervous system.

Objective To investigate the effects of serum from patients receiving isoflurane and sevoflurane on the invasion and migration ability of human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549. Methods Twenty ASAⅠorⅡ lung cancer patients aged 40 ~ 68 yr undergoing radical surgery were randomly divided into sevoflurane group (SEV group, n = 10) and isoflurane group (ISO group, n = 10). The concentration of sevoflurane or isoflurane maintained 1.5 MAC during anesthesia. Ten healthy volunteers were selected as control group. Serum was separated from blood sample taken at the end of surgery. A549 cells were randomly divided into sevoflurane group (group SEV, n = 10), isoflurane group (group ISO, n = 10) and control group (group C, n = 10). Cells of SEV group and ISO group were treated with 10% serum as respect to anesthetics for 24 hours. Cells of group C were treated with serum of control group. The invasion ability of cells was evaluated by Transwell assay. The migration ability of cells was determined by wound healing assay. The expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in A549 cells were detected by ELISA. Results Compared with group C and ISO group,the number of invasive cells in group SEV was reduced significantly (P < 0.05). The levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in group SEV were significantly decreased compared with those of group C and ISO group (P<0.05). Conclusion The serum of patients receiving sevoflurane anesthesia can attenuate the metastatic ability of A549 cells through inhibiting the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9.

The secondary development of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) is an important content of TCM modernization process, as well as an important path for developing new TCM drugs. Under the guidance of the system theory, in response to the lack of the overall guideline and practical methods for the secondary development of TCMs at present, we introduced the overall thought of the secondary development of major TCM varieties, as well as the roles and contents of clinical research, pharmacology and pharmaceutics in the process of the secondary development of major TCM varieties, so as to provide systematic strategies and methods for the development of major TCM varieties.
