Hydroxyapatite has already been considered as an excellent medical biomaterial.and nanometer hydroxyapatite possesses special characteristics.Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles can inhibit the growth of a wide range of cancer cells.but have no effect on normal cells.thus it has a better selectivity in the treatment of cancer.The anti-tumor mechanism of nano-hydroxyapatite is relevant on the following factors:role in the cell membrane,affecting DNA synthesis,inducing cell cycle blockage and apoptosis,impacting the activity of telomerase.This study is designed to introduce the specific structure and characterjstics of nano-hydroxyapatite,analyze the research progress of nano-hydroxyapatite in tumor field.and discuss the possibility of nano-hydroxyapatite as a new anti-cancer drug in clinical application.

Endostatin(ES), the C-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII, is a potent angiogenesis inhibitor. At present, there are a large number of research papers on ES. It has already been on clinical stage Ⅱ and been widely used in inhibition of neovascularization(NV). However, how to improve the bioactivity of ES is still a matter of ongoing discussion. The objective of this review is to elucidate the relationship between the modified ES and ocular neovascualrization, and to discuss the superiority based on the structure modification. The structure can be changed either by covalent modification or by genetical mutation. It is proposed that the secondary structral ES enhance the anti-angiogenic activity. Studies on modified ES also shed light on our understanding of the molecular action mechanisms of ES. Modified ES may be exploited as a new angiogenesis inhibitor for therapeutic applica-tions, in substitution of the native ES. Activity

Objective:To analyze the improvement effect of smart drugs shelves on the service process in the outpatient pharmacy and to provide supporting data for the new service process. Methods:The dispensing time of pharmacists and the waiting time of pa-tients were studied and compared before and after the use of smart drugs shelves. Results: After the use of smart drugs shelves, 71. 52% of dispensing time was in 5min, and more than 95% was in 10min. In the 9 periods, the medians of patient waiting time on Oct 21, 2013 were all shorter than those on Oct 18, 2010. Conclusion:The use of smart drugs shelves can improve service efficiency, shorten patient waiting time and enhance service level of outpatient pharmacy.

The chemical constituents from the n-butanol fraction of ethanol extract of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) were isolated and purified using chromatographic process including MCI Gel CHP-20, ODS, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and semi-preparative HPLC method, and one alkyne and two phenylpropanoid derivants were obtained. Their structures were identified as (5R,E)-tetradecane-12-ene-8,10-diyne-1,5,14-triol (1), (E)-8-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl n-butyl cinnamate (2), and (7S,8S)-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzene)-7-butyl-8,9-diol (3) by modern spectroscopy methods (1D NMR, 2D NMR, UV, IR and MS). 1-3 are all new compounds. Compounds 1-3 were screened for their anti-renal fibrosis activities in vitro, and none of them showed obvious effect.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and carry out analysis on pharmacoeconomic cost-effect of three therapeutic schemes in the treatment for stroke. Methods Through a retrospective survey method, 115 stroke patients, based on different treatment methods, were divided into 3 groups:Xuesaitong group (A), carthamin yellow group (B), and Xueshuantong group (C). An analysis on pharmacoeconomic cost-effect was conducted. Results The costs of three therapeutic schemes were 1030.4 yuan, 1876 yuan, and 1545.6 yuan, respectively. The total effective rates of stroke patients in groups A, B and C were 85.37%, 88.57% and 90.04%, respectively. The cost-effect ratios of groups A, B and C were 12.07, 21.18, and 17.17. The added cost-effect ratios of groups B and C compared with group A were 264.25 and 110.32, respectively. Conclusion Xueshuantong Injection has more pharmacoeconomic advantage than Xuesaitong and carthamin yellow Injections in treating stroke.

Objective:The effect of Tonglin capsule was observed on type steblay interstitial nephritis of cavy.Methods: The cavy was immunized using the basement membrane of renal tubule from renal cortex of rabbit and Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA). The animal model of autoimmunity renal tubule interstitial nephrifis was made, The effect of Tonglin capsule on nephric pathological changes was observed. Results: ① The levels of creatinine (Cr) and blood uria nitrogen (BUN) in treatment groups were obviously lower than that in model group ( P

Objective To evaluate the use of spiral enteroscopy in diagnosis and treatment of smallbowel diseases.Methods The data of 8 patients who underwent spiral enteroscopy from July to September 2009 were retrospectively studied.The variables including maximal insertion depth,total procedure time,complications,and outcome were evaluated.Results The average maximal depth of intubation was 2.2 m beyond the Ligament of Triez (0-3.6 m beyond Ligament of Triez),with a mean procedure time at 41 min (25 to 77 min).Small bowel Crohn's disease was diagnosed in 2 cases with biopsy suggesting active inflammation and granular formation.Small intestinal tumor was detected in 1 patient with pathological finding of high grade dysplasia.Jejunal ulcer was detected in 1 patient.Multiple polyps were found in 1 patient after jejunal anastomosis,which were then treated with endoscopic argon plasma coagulation (APC).No abnormalities were found in 3 other patients.No complications occurred during and after the procedure.The maneuver of spiral enteroscopy and APC were same as that of balloon enteroscopy.Conclusion Spiral enteroscopy is simple and convenient to operate,which is of great potential in clinical use.
