The original teaching of clinical pharmacy for stomatology course did not let students aware of the importance of drugs in the treatment of oral diseases. The original teaching framework was rearranged:decentralizing knowledge of oral diseased related clinical pharmacy into several mod-ules;setting general knowledge into the oral basic medical module;adding the practice of visiting the pharmacy and manufacturing laboratory. Teaching process was closely combined with clinics and was integrated with disease-centered oral medicine curriculum integration system. Students responded that the teaching effect was better. The rearranged teaching method can enhance students' attention on drug treatment for oral diseases,improve their ability of clinical medication and promote the teaching quality.

Analogous formulae (AF) refer to a set of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulae sharing similar herbs and/or indications. Dissecting functional chemome of analogous formulae could enhance the understanding of the intrinsic nature of TCM. In this study, taking 5 Xiaoqinglong decoction analogous formulae (XQL AF) including Xiaoqinglong decoction, Mahuang Xingren Shigao Gancao decoction, Mahuang Fuzi decoction, Houpu Mahuang decoction and Daqinglong decoction as example, we systematically investigated the relationship between compounds and indications using network formulaology approach. The functional chemome of XQL AF were revealed by network analysis and molecular docking. This successful application in XQL AF suggests network formulaology could be a useful tool for AF-related research and therefore provide a new way to discover the scientific foundation of Zhang Zhongjing's herbal formulae.

AlM:To evaluate the efficacy of combined pranoprofen eye drops and artificial tears on the treatment of mild to moderate dry eye syndrome after trabbeculectomy.METHODS:This prospective case control study included 63 cases (63 eyes) of patients with mild to moderate dry eye syndrome after trabbeculectomy in our hospital from November 2013 to June 2013. All subjects were randomly divided into two groups. Observation group was treated with combined pranoprofen eye drops and artificial tears and control group received simple artificial tears marking the eyes at 1, 2, 4wk. The patient's symptoms, signs, BUT, S▏t, and FL were observed before treatment and 1, 2, 4wk after treatment.RESULTS: After 2wk, the symptoms of observation group were improved, there was statistically significant difference (P<0. 05). FL difference of each group was statistically significant ( P<0. 05 ); After 4wk, symptoms and signs were improved. There was statistically significant difference ( P < 0. 05 ). The BUT of the observation group and corneal FL scores of two groups showed significant differences (P<0. 05). CONCLUSlON: Artificial tears joint pranoprofen eye drops has good curative effect in the treatment of mild to moderate dry eye syndrome after trabbeculectomy.

Vitamin A plays a significant role in maintaining normal metabolism, cell differentiation, reproduction, vision and anti-infection. As a major food source of vitamin A for infants, the level of vitamin A in breast milk is highly important. Recent studies have shown that vitamin A levels in breast milk varied significantly in different stages of lactation, populations, regions and gestational ages at delivery. Moreover, studies demonstrated that it was also affected by many factors, such as maternal serum vitamin A levels and amounts of supplements during pregnancy, maternal vitamin A intake during lactation, maternal diet, high or low risk pregnancy, and vitamin A reservation in maternal liver. It is vital to understand the level of vitamin A in breast milk and its influencing factors to improve breast-feeding.

OBJECTIVETo establish a non-invasive, repeatable and dynamic study method in endometriosis rat model using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in order to explore the magnetic resonance characteristics of the model.

METHODEndometrium tissues were transplanted into left abdominal walls of unmated adult female SD rats. After surgery, pathological changes were observed and MRI scanning was made for the ectopic lesions.

RESULTThe endometriosis rat model was successfully established and the ectopic lesions imaged strong hyperintense on DWI, hypointense on T1WI, hyperintense on T2WI with a clear border, without enhancement on CE-T1 WI.

CONCLUSIONThe lesions can be clearly observed in the MRI images on the endometriosis rat model established by this method, which facilitates repeat experiments and continuous observation studies.

Objective] To investigate plasma level of omentin in chronic hemodialysis patients and its correlation with BMI,serum creatinine,fasting glucose,blood lipid and Homa-IR. [Methods] The study included 80 health people as control group and 62 chronic hemodialysis patients .A double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay ( ELISA ) method was applied to detect the level of serum omentin and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistant ( Homa-IR) to assess the insulin resistance index ,analysis being done on correlation between serum omentin and other indexes . [ Results ] The levels of plasma omentin was significantly higher in hemodialysis patients than those in control group ( P<0.01).ESRD(end-stage renal disease) patients with diabetes had lower level of plasma omentin than those without diabetes .The serum level of omentin had negative correlation with BMI and Homa-IR, and positive correlation with HDL-C, serum creatinine . [ Conclusion] The serum level of omentin proves to be ele-vated in ESRD patients receiving hemodialysis;and those with diabetes had lower levels of plasma omentin than those without .

Objective To learn the prevalence of overweight and obesity among city residents in Wenzhou city.Methods Byusing multistage stratified cluster sampling method,a total of 10 449 residents aged 18 years and above were selected forquestionnaires interview,physical examination and laboratory testing ,analyzed the prevalence and risk factors of overweightand obesity among city residents.Results The crude prevalence rates of overweight and obesity were 32.60% and7.70%,and the age -adjusted rate were 27.50% and 6.51%.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR =1.01,95%CI:1.01 -1.02)and drinking (OR =1.14,95%CI:1.02 -1.27)were risk factors of overweight andobesity,while high degree of education(OR =0.87,95%CI:0.84 -0.91)and active physical exercise (OR =0.75,95%CI:0.57 -0.98)were protective factors of overweight and obesity.The prevalence rates of hypertension,diabetes,dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia were much higher among adults with overweight and obesity,compared with that of normalweight adults (P <0.01).Conclusion Prevalence of overweight and obesity is high in Wenzhou City.Intervention shouldbe actively carried out for the prevention and control of overweight and obesity.

Objective To investigate the expression of Toll-like receptor(TLR) 9 of circulating plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) and analyze the frequency and interferon (IFN)-?production of circulating pDC during hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection.Methods Peripheral blood was collected from 69 HBV-infected patients,including 14 cases of asymptomatie HBV infection,30 cases of chro- nic hepatitis B(CHB),25 cases of HBV-related liver cirrhosis,and 21 healthy blood donors as con- trols.Flow cytometry was used to analyze the frequency of circulating pDC and the mean fluorescence intensity(MFI) of TLR9.Fresh peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) were stimulated by CpG ODN 2216 for 24 h in vitro.IFN-?in the supernatant was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) to analyze the frequency and IFN-?production of pDC during HBV in- fection.Data were analyzed with SPSS 13.0 for windows.Results Compared with healthy controls (62.6?10.7),the MFI of TLR9 of patients with asymptomatic HBV infection,those of CHB and HBV-related cirrhosis were significantly reduced (P
