Drug clinical trial is an important link in the chain of new drug research and development. The results of drug discovery and development directly depend on the extent of standardization of clinical trials. Therefore, improving the quality of drug clinical trials is of great importance, and drug clinical trial institutions play a crucial role in the quality management of drug clinical trials. After years of development, the overall level of drug clinical trials has advanced rapidly in China, and a large number of clinical trials of traditional Chinese medicine have also been carried out. However, there is still a big gap between our country and developed countries. Therefore, for the construction and management of Chinese drug clinical trial institutions, there is still a long way to go. This study aims to analyze the current development of drug clinical trial institutions in China and explore the existing problems from three aspects, including current situations of institutional organization and management, regional and professional distributions, and quality control. And some suggestions are put forward finally, including support of traditional Chinese medicine, introduction of drug-risk management system, and construction of information management.

Objective_To study the significance of fascin protein expression in ductal intraepithelial neoplasia ( DIN) and invasive ductal carcinoma ( IDC) .Methods_Thirty cases of usual ductal hyperplasia ( UDH) , 30 ca-ses of flat epithelial atypia (FEA,DIN1a), 15 cases of atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH,DIN1b), 2 cases of DCIS grade1(DIN1c),10 cases of DCIS grade2(DIN2)and 18 cases of DCIS grade3(DIN3)were immunohisto-chemically investigated using monoclonal antifascin antibody and compared with 120 cases of invasive ductal carci-noma (IDC).Results_Fascin protein expression was not found in normal breast tissue, UDH, FEA (DIN1a), ADH(DIN1b),DCIS grade1(DIN1c)and DCIS grade2(DIN2),but only seen in 2 of 18 cases of DCIS grade3 (DIN3)(11.1%), and 18 out of 120 cases of IDC (15%).Fascin protein expression was correlated with ER neg-ative( P<0.05) , PR negative( P<0.05) , tumor grade( P<0.05) and axillary lymph node status( P<0.05) , but not correlated with age,location,tumor sizeand HER2 expression.Conclusions_Fascin protein expression seems to be a late event, usually present in carcinoma.Targetting the fascin pathway may be a noval therapeutic strategy of mammary carcinoma.

Objective: To investigate the apoptosis of renal cells induced by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in diabetic rats and intervention of rapamycin. Methods: A total of 20 rats (Goto-Kakizaki rats) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were randomly and equally divided into DM model group (DM group) and rapamycin treatment group (DMR group, received rapamycin treatment after DM model was established); another 10 Wistar male rats were regard as normal control group. Apoptosis of renal cells, expression levels of TNF-α and NF-κB and levels of blood lipids, blood glucose were measured in all groups after four weeks and eight weeks. Results: Four and eight weeks After model was established, compared with normal control group and DMR group, there were significant increase in renal cells apoptosis [RCA, four weeks: (0.217±0.031), (0.272±0.031) vs. (0.545±0.031), eight weeks: (0.358±0.031), (0.350±0.031) vs. (0.811±0.031)] and expressions of NF-κBp65 [OD: four weeks: (0.160±0.027), (0.131±0.027) vs. (0.411±0.027), eight weeks: (0.232±0.027), (0.275±0.027) vs. ( 0.634±0.027)] and TNF-α [OD: four weeks: (0.242±0.027), (0.275±0.027) vs. (0.617±0.027), eight weeks: (0.385±0.027), (0.342±0.027) vs. (0.912±0.027)] in DM group (P<0.01 all). Correlation analysis indicated that there were positive correlations between renal NF-κBp65 and TNF-α, among RCA and TNF-α, NF-κBp65 (r=0.956, 0.953, 0.886,P<0.01 all).

Objective To observe the effect of electroacupuncture at extensors plus acupoints based on syndrome differentiation on the wrist-ankle activity in post-stroke hemiplegia. Method A total of 168 patients with post-stroke hemiplegia were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group, 84 cases each. Both groups were prescribed with Western medication, based on which, the control group received electroacupuncture at acupoints based on syndrome differentiation, and the treatment group received electroacupuncture at extensors plus acupoints based on syndrome differentiation. The changes of electromyography (EMG) in the two groups after the intervention were observed, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate was 95.1% in the treatment group versus 91.0% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After the intervention, the EMG of extensor carpi radialis in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05); the between-group difference was statistically insignificant in comparing the EMG of tibialis anterior muscle (P>0.05), but the intra-group differences were statistically significant in both groups(P<0.05). The value of M-amp/H-amp was changed significantly in both groups after the treatment (P<0.01), but the between-group difference was statistically insignificant after the treatment (P>0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture at extensors plus acupoints based on syndrome differentiation can increase the motor unit of carpi radialis and decrease the spasm of gastrocnemius in post-stroke hemiplegia, and consequently produce a remarkable clinical efficacy.

In this paper, the Fourier transform based minimum mean square error (FT-based MMSE) method is used to calculate the regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV) in magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion imaging, and the method is improved to handle the existing noise in the imaging process. In the experiments with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 50 dB, the rCBV values were compared with the results using MMSE method. The effects of different SNRs on the estimation of rCBV were analyzed. The experimental results showed that MMSE was a simple way to filter the measurement noise, and could calculate rCBV accurately. Compared with other existing methods, the present method is not sensitive to environment, and furthermore, it is suitable to deal with the perfusion images acquired from the environment with larger SNR.

AIM: To establish the quality standard for Zhike Pingchuan Capsule (Radix Panacis Quinquefolii, Semen Pruni Armeniacae, Radix Scutellariae, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae, etc.). METHODS: Radix Panacis Quinquefolii, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae in Zhike Pingchuan Capsule were identified by TLC and ginsenoside Rb_1 was determined by HPLC. The analysis was carried out on C_~18 column by HPLC. The mobile phase was CH_3CN-H_2O(34∶66). The flow rate was 1.2 mL?min~-1 and the detection wavelength was at 203 nm. The column temperature was at 40.0 ℃ and sensitivity was 0.02 AUFS. RESULTS:The average recovery was 97.20% and RSD was 2.25% and the linear range of ginsenoside Rb_1 was in 0.612-~6.120 ?g. CONCLUSION:This method is simple, rapid with a good reproducibility. This method can be used for the quality control of Zhike Pingchuan Capsule.

To increase the biotransfomation efficiency from the orotic acid to the uridine 5'-monophosphate(UMP),URA5 gene encoding orotate phosphoribosytransferase was amplified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4742 by PCR,then it was inserted into the expression vector pYX212(contained orotidine monophosphate decarboxylase gene URA3)and the pYX212-URA5 was transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae BJX12 by electroporation.The recombinant strain was elementarily used to convert orotic acid to UMP.The results showed that pYX212-URA5/BJX12 could accumulate 7mmol/L UMP from 32mmol/L orotic acid in 26h,significantly higher than both control groups pYX212/BJX12(2.7mmol/L) and BJX12(2.4 mmol/L).
