OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the irrational use of drugs in the department of cardiovascular diseases.METHODS: The irrational use of drugs in the department of cardiovascular diseases from Nov,2007 to Aug 2008 was analyzed statistically.RESULTS: Of the total 194 inpatients(1 745 times in total) investigated,irrational use of antibiotics were found in 118 cases,accounting for 60.82% of the total inpatients or 6.76% in the total 1 745 times;26 cases involved irrational perioperative use of antibiotics,accounting for 1.49% of the total 1 745 times;76 cases had irrational use of non-antibiotics,accounting for 39.18% of the total inpatients or 4.36% of the total 1 745 times.The irrational drug use in the cardiovascular department witnessed an improvement ever since Feb 2008 when the full-time clinical pharmacists began their work in this department.CONCLUSION: The clinical pharmacists can enhance the clinical rational drug use level by summarizing experience and carrying out pharmaceutical care accordingly.

Objective · To investigate the effects of ox-LDL on the proliferation of rat theca cells and expression of LXR-α and StAR, two genes associated with androgen biosynthesis. Methods · The expression of LXR-α in the ovarian tissue of rats was determined by immunohistochemistry. Primary theca cells were isolated and collected from rat ovary and cultured in vitro. Furthermore, the theca cells were treated with 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300 and 400 mg/L ox-LDL, respectively. The variations in LXR-α mRNA were identified using real-time PCR. MTT assay was performed to detect cell viability. The expression of LXR-α and StAR was measured by Western blotting analysis. Results · The effect of ox-LDL on the proliferation of rat theca cells and the levels of LXR-α and StAR in theca cells was in a concentration-dependent manner. Following exposure to various concentration of ox-LDL for 24 h, the proliferation of theca cells was induced by low concentration of ox-LDL (25-150 mg/L), and 100 mg/L ox-LDL showed the most significant inducing effect. Moreover, the cell survival rate was diminished considerably following with ox-LDL concentration increasing, especially lowered by 400 mg/L ox-LDL. The mRNA level of LXR-α was increased with low concentration of ox-LDL (25-150 mg/L) and the impact of ox-LDL on the induced expression of LXR-α mRNA was considerably distinct at the concentration of 150 mg/L. On the other hand, the expression of LXR-α mRNA was reduced with high concentration of ox-LDL, and the impact of 400 mg/L ox-LDLwas substantially distinct. The protein expression levels of LXR-α and StAR were increased with 150 mg/L ox-LDL, but StAR protein level in 150 mg/L ox-LDL group revealed no significant difference when compared with control group. The expression of LXR-α and StAR protein was significantly inhibited with 400 mg/L ox-LDL in the rat theca cells. Conclusion · Low concentrations of ox-LDL can induce the proliferation of theca cells, and promote the expression of StAR and LXR-α. Whereas, high concentrations of ox-LDL can reduce the cell viability and inhibit the expression of StAR and LXR-α.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of the method of soothing liver qi stagnation and invigorating blood circula- tion to remove stasis for depression.Methods Totally 90 depression cases were randomized into treatment group and control group with 45 in each.The treatment group was given modified Xiaoyao Powder(Powder for liver qi stagnation with blood stasis) based on the principle of soothing liver qi stagnation to remove stasis.The control group was given Fluoxetine.The course of treatment was 8 weeks in all.Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS),Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD),Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) and scores of TCM symptoms before and after treatment were recorded for comparison.Results SDS,HAMD,TESS and TCM symptoms were improved after treatment in the treatment group(P

D glucopyranoside, 2, 6 dimethoxy 4 hydroxyphenol 1 O ? D glucopyranoside, koaburaside, glucosyringic acid, marmesinin were elucidated Conclusion Compounds Ⅱ Ⅵ were isolated from Gerbera L ex Cass for the first time

Objective To investigate the Reprimo and hMLH1 gene promoter methylation detection value in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer.Methods Chose patints in Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital from September 2013 to April 2014,50 cases of patients with chronic atrophicgastritis with intestinal metaplasia,50 cases of patients with gastricmucosal atypical hyperplasia,50 patients with gastric cancer,endoscopic gastric biopsy samples,and 30 cases of normal gastric mucosa biopsy tissues as control group.Analysis abnormal expression in Reprimo gene and hMLH1 genes promoter methylation,compared the differences.between groups of patients.Results The patients with gastric mucosatissues Reprimo and hMLH1 genes promoter methylation positive rate was significantly higher than that of normal group,the difference wasstatistically signifi-cant (P<0.05).Reprimo gene promoter methylation were:patients with chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia 28% (χ2 =10.18,P < 0.05).Patients with gastric mucosalatypical hyperplasia 56% (χ2 = 25.84,P < 0.05)and patients with gastric cancer 62% (χ2 = 30.36,P < 0.05).hMLH1 gene promoter methylation were:patients with chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia 20% (χ2 =4.39,P <0.05),patients with gastric mucosal atypical hyperplasia 44% (χ2 =15.13,P <0.05)and patients with gastric cancer 48% (χ2 = 17.41,P <0.05),high specificity of detection.Conclusion Reprimo and hMLH1 gene’s detect value in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer is very high,high specificity,it is an effec-tive way of diagnosis,treatment in clinical diagnosis of patients with broad prospects.

Objective To explore the better strategy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and electric defibrillation skills training and assessment on nurses in order to improve the first-aid level of nursing staff.Methods 1 258 nurses of a hospital were trained and assessed in batches.Core group and instruc -tor team were established,multimedia lecture,situation simulation training ahd network self-learning were available.Paperless examinations were conducted.Results of the examinations were analyzed by SPSS19.0,and the comparison between the two groups of independent samples were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test.Results All the 1 258 nurses were qualified,for the median score was 88.0 and the quartile spacing was 7.5.The step-scores of step1-3,13,14,22,23 were high,while the step-scores of step5,7-17,16-21,24,25 were low.Compared with nurses without professional-titles,nurses with professional-titles got better results in total score,step 8-12 and step17-21,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusions It is necessary to pay attention to the training and assessment of CPR and electric defibrillation skills on nurses.Advanced and effective training methods need to be used to carry on regular training and assessment.For the weak links and low-grade nursing staff,intensive training needs to be conducted to improve the entire skill level of nurses.

Objective To explore the preventive effect of early bowel intervention on the gastrointestinal dysfunction in patients with invasive mechanical ventilation.Methods Sixty patients with invasive mechanical ventilation were equally randomly divided into the observation group and the control group.patlents in the control group were treated by conventional nursing care,while Patients in the observation group were given the early bowel intervention including abdominal massage and stimulation of rectum.The two groups were compared in terms of gastrointestinal dysfunction.Result The rate of gastrointestinal dysfunction in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The early bowel intervention may effectively promote intestinal peristalsis,protect the intestinal digestion, absorption of nutrients and mucosal barrier function and prevent gastrointestinal dysfunction in patients with invasive mechanical ventilation during enteral nutrition.
