Aim To explore the effect and mechanism of resveratrol (Res) on proliferation and differentiation of murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.Methods 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were cultured and treated with resveratrol in different dosages.Cell proliferation was analyzed by WST-1 method. Oil red O staining method and spectrophotography were applied to analyze the degree of differentiation. Real-time PCR was applied to detect the mRNA expression of adiponectin and leptin. Western blot was applied to detect the expression of silent information regulator 1 (Sirt1),peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and CCTTA enhancer binding proteinα (C/EBPα).Results Res inhibited proliferation of murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in a time-dose dependent manner.The expression levels of adiponectin and leptin mRNA were decreased, and Res also inhibited 3T3-L1 preadipocytes to differentiate into mature adipocytes. Res increased the expression levels of Sirt1 and decreased the expression levels of PPARγ and C/EBPα.Conclusions Resveratrol can inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.The underlying mechanisms may include enhancing expression of Sirt1 and inhibiting expression of PPARγ,C/EBPα which are related to cell differentiation.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the incidence of adverse drug reactions(ADRs),the ratio of irrational drug use and the average daily drug costs after the initiation of clinical pharmacists' intervention on the combined use of antibiotic injections in the outpatient department.METHODS:By a controlled prospective study,500 patients in the intravenous center in outpatient department whose records were in line with inclusion criteria were included before intervention as controls,and after the initiation of clinical pharmacists' intervention on the combined use of antibiotic injection in the outpatient department,500 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled as trial group.A database was established and the results were analyzed statistically.RESULTS:The irrational drug use was noted in 52 cases in the control group versus 21 cases in the trial group and the ADRs or adverse drug events were noted in 18 cases for the control group versus 9 cases for the trial group.The daily mean drug cost reduced by 29.84 yuan after intervention.CONCLUSION:The intervention measures contributed to the reduction in incidences of irrational drug use and ADRs and drug costs.

OBJECTIVE:To improve the safety of antibiotic injections in outpatient department. METHODS:In a prospective randomized control study,outpatients treated with antibiotic injections in 2007 were chosen to be the subjects. The subjects were randomized into control group and intervention group. Education,administration intervention and inspection were adopted in clinical intervention considering the factor of drug combination. The rationality of drug combination and the incidence of ADR before and after intervention were observed. RESULTS:As compared with control group,the rationality of drug combination in intervention group was improved obviously(P

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the chief factors influencing the adverse drug reactions (ADR) in outpatient use of antibiotics so as to formulate corresponding policies for intervention. METHODS: The patients who had been treated i.v with antibiotics from Mar. 2006 to Mar. 2007 were enrolled: 105 in trial group showed ADR, another 105 in control group showed no ADR. The ADR influencing factors were compared between the two groups from aspects of patients, nursing, and medication to find out the significant differences. RESULTS: The chief factors influencing the adverse drug reactions (ADR) in outpatient use of antibiotics included the indications of drugs, dosage, dosing interval, drug combination, and availability of medication guidance. CONCLUSION: The outpatient intravenous use of antibiotics is far from rational, which needes further intervention.
