China Pharmacist 2015;(5):797-798,801
Objective:To explore the clinical effect of Qizhi Weitong granules combined with rabeprazole in the treatment of reflux esophagitis and the influence on the levels of gastrin and motilin. Methods:Totally 80 cases of patients with reflux esophagitis were se-lected, and then randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 40 cases in each. The control group was treated with rabeprazole, and the observation group was treated with Qizhi Weitong granules additionally. After 4-week treatment, the clinical effect and the influence on the levels of gastrin and motilin in the two groups were compared. Results:By comparing the clinical effect and endoscopic curative in the two groups, the total effective rate of the observation group was 95. 0% and 92. 5%, which was obvious-ly higher than that of the control group. Compared with those before the treatment, the levels of gastrin and motilin in the two groups were significantly improved after the treatment, and the improvement of the observation group was obviously higher than that of the con-trol group with statistically significant difference (P<0. 05). Conclusion: Qizhi Weitong granules combined with rabeprazole in the treatment of reflux esophagitis is effective, which can greatly improve the levels of gastrin and motilin and is worthy of further clinical application.

Objective To study the apoptosis-inducing effect of recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 8 with soluble TRAIL gene on human colon cancer cell line HCT116. Method Recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 8 with TRAIL gene was generated by triple plasmid transfection of HEK293 cells with phosphate calcium precipitation. After infected by recombinant virus, cell growth assay was carried out by counting alive cells after trypan blue exclusion. Alternations of cell morphology was examined by microscopy. Cell apoptosis was detected by DNA laddering. The protein expressions of apoptosis-3 and apoptosis-8 were detected by Western blotting. Result The growth rate of the AAV8-sTRAIL infected HCT116 cells was significantly inhibited. Recombinant virus induced apoptosis in colon tumor cells by triggering caspase cascade, but not in normal human hepatocytes. Conclusion AAV8-sTRAIL efficiently suppresses the growth of human colon cancer cell line HCT116 by inducing apoptosis, with no evident toxicity to normal cell.

Objective: To study the relationship between Framingham risk score for coronary artery disease (CAD) and cognitive function in healthy community elders.
Methods: A total of 276 healthy community elders were evaluated by Framingham score to predict the risk for suffering from CAD in 10 years. The subjects were divided into 3 groups. High risk group (the risk > 20%), n=46, Mid risk group (the risk at 10%-20%), n=76 and Low risk group (the risk < 10%), n=154. The cognitive function was measured by mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and China adult intelligence scale (CISA). The differences of cognitive function levels to 3 CAD risk groups were studied.
Results: With the increased CAD incidence from Low risk, Mid risk to High risk groups, the MMSE score reduced accordingly (26.9 ± 1.45) vs (24.3 ± 1.53) vs (22.2 ± 1.43), P=0.014. Pearson analysis presented that MMSE score was negatively related to Framingham risk score (r=-0.213, P<0.001). There were several elements of cognitive function related to Framingham risk score including MMSE score, question answering, grid filling, oral arithmetic and word distinguishing (r=-0.247), (r=-0.167), (r=-0.132), (r=-0.152) and (r-0.256), all P<0.05.
Conclusion: CAD risk level was negatively related to cognitive function, the higher Framingham risk score resulted in the lower cognitive function in healthy community elder subjects.

Objective:To investigate the pediatricians' needs in the contents of continuing medical education (CME), and the influencing factors of participating in CME, so as to provide references for improving their vocational ability.Methods:Questionnaire survey was carried out for the pediatricians from county-level medical institutions in the nine provinces of China. The questionnaire contents included: basic information, CME contents needs, and influencing factors of participating in CME. SPSS 22.0 was used for chi-square test.Results:A total of 465 questionnaires was recovered, among which 463 were qualified, with a pass rate of 99.6%. Research showed that ① In terms of competency training needs, pediatricians had higher training demand for ability of diagnosis and treatment of children's diseases, pediatrics basic skills and skills related to children's health care, etc. Pediatricians with junior or intermediate title had higher training demand for ability of self-learning and access to learning resources ( P < 0.01); and pediatricians with senior title had higher training demand for teaching ability ( P < 0.05). ② In terms of pediatrics specialty content training needs, pediatricians had higher demand for neonatology, infectious, respiratory, critical medicine, developmental behavior and digestion in order. ③ Regarding the influencing factors of CME, too few opportunities to participate in training, too busy to have time to participate, and defects in curriculum arrangement were the main factors affecting the CME participation of pediatricians. Conclusion:Pediatricians with different professional title had different training needs for CME contents. Lack of CME resources, contradiction between work and study, and curriculum arrangement deficiencies might be the main influencing factors affecting the CME participation of pediatricians working at county-level medical institutions.
