This study aims to explore and analyze the condition of concurrent diseases and medicine use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine among the patients with insomnia. One thousand and sxity seven cases of data from 20 national hospitals' hospital information system (HIS) databases were collected. The frequent concurrent diseases included hypertension (26.9%), brain blood supply insufficiency (24.93%), cerebral infarction (19.49%), blood lipoprotein disturbance (15.28%), coronary heart disease (14.15%), headache (10.68%), chronic gastritis (8.81%), type 2 diabetes mellitus (7.87%), depressive disorder (7.4%) and anxiety disorder (6.65%). The 10 most frequently-used western drugs included alprazolam (35.99%), aspirin (25.4%), olanzapine (24.18%), cinepazide (23.06%), flupentixol & melitracen (18.74%), zolpidem (18.37%), oxiracetam (15.65%), estazolam (15%), aniracetam (13.4%) and piracetam (13.31%). The 10 most frequently-used TCM included Shuxuening injection (16.4%), Shuxuetong injection (15.18%), extract of ginkgo biloba leaf (14.71%), gastrodin (12.46%), Dengzanxixin injection (11.34%), Xueshuantong (8.53%), Danhong injection (6.37%), compound liquorice tablet (5.81%), Sanqi Tongshu capsule (5.72%) and sowthistle-leaf ixeridium injection (5.34%). Among all combined uses, the most frequent western drug use was alprazolam and olanzapine, while combined use of hypnotic drug and Huoxuehuayu formula is the most frequent. This study concludes that the concurrent diseases mainly include cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, metabolic disorders and anxiety-depression disorders, with increasing tendency of diseases types by ages, especially for cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. The most frequently-used hypnotic is alprazolam in the insomnia patients, and it is worth being concerned about the off-label use of olanzapine as an antipsychotic for the treatment of insomnia However, due to the fact that all cases data are from the inpatients, these findings have some limitations.

Aim Bupivacaine is a kind of long-acting amide local anesthetics.This paper aims to explore the effects of bupivacaine on the short-circuit currents in human alveolar epithelial monolayers and study the possible mechanisms.Methods Short-circuit currents were recorded by ussing-chamber setup.Amiloride-sensitive currents were defined as the difference be-tween the total current and the amiloride-resistant cur-rent.ERK1 /2 phosphorylation protein levels were ana-lyzed by Western blot at 0,1 5,30 and 60 min after administration of 1 00 μmol·L -1 bupivacaine.Results Bupivacaine could inhibit the short-circuit currents in H441 monolayers dose-dependently,which could be inhibited by amiloride.Western blot analysis showed that bupivacaine increased the level of ERK1 /2 phos-phorylation.Conclusion These data demonstrate that bupivacaine can reduce the alveolar ion transport by in-hibiting the amiloride-sensitive currents,possibly by the enhancement of ERK1 /2 phosphorylation. The effects of alveolar fluid clearance following application of bupivacaine should be considered clinically when the patient is complicated with lung injury.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of silodosin in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCT) on the efficacy and safety of silodosin for the treatment of BPH were retrieved from Medline (1966-2012),Embase (1988-2012),Cochrane liberary,CMCC (1979-2012),CNK1 (1979-2012) and the quality of the included RCTs were evaluated using Cochrane systematic evaluation to analyze the data statistically using Rev Man 5.1.0 software.Results Six RCTs involving 2543 participants were included for the meta-analysis.Results of analysis showed that silodosin was effective in the treatment of BPH in term of total international prostate symptom score (IPSS) (standard mean difference (SMD) =2.92,95 ％ CI =2.19-3.65,P ＜ 0.05),voiding symptom score (SMD =1.92,95％ CI =1.44-2.39,P ＜0.05),storage symptom score (SMD =0.92,95％ CI=0.60-1.24,P ＜0.05),and maximum flow rate (Qmax) score (SMD =1.56,95％ CI=1.38-1.75,P ＜ 0.05),compared with the placebo.Silodosin 8 mg was more effective than tamsulosin 0.2 mg in term of IPSS-related parameters and Qmax (P ＜ 0.05).Silodosin 8mg and tamsulosin 0.4 mg were similarly effective in all the efficacy analyses.Abnormal ejaculation was less common with tamsulosin 0.2 mg and 0.4mg (P＜0.05); overall adverse events were similar with tamsulosin 0.2 and 0.4 mg (P ＜0.05).Conclusions Silodosin was significantly more effective than placebo and tamsulosin 0.2 mg in improving symptoms and as effective as tamsulosin 0.4 mg.For adverse events,abnormal ejaculation was more common with silodosin.

AIM: To investigate the efficacy of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and taurine (Tau) in preventing hyperoxia-induced the lens opacification and the changes of biochemical parameters on organ cultured rabbit lenses.METHODS: Twenty-four lenses from adult rabbits were divided into the control group, the hyperoxia-exposed group, the hyperoxia-exposed group containing 20mmol/L of NAC, the hyperoxia-exposed group containing 80mmol/L of Tau, respectively. The treated groups incubated with hyperoxia ( pO2>80%) for 4 hours per day throughout a 7-day period. Lens transparency, histology and enzymatic activities measurements were determined after this incubation.RESULTS: Gross morphological examination of these lenses revealed some severe cortical opacification in the hyperoxia-exposed group, moderate cortical opacification in the control group and the Tau treated group. There was minimal cortical opacification in the NAC treated group. The glutathione (GSH) content and the activity of Na, K-ATPase were significantly decreased in the hyperoxia-exposed group than that of the control group, by 37.8% (P<0.05) and 53.5% (P<0.05), respectively. However, they were increased in the two treated groups, especially in the NAC treated group. There were no significant differences in the water-soluble protein content and the catalase and GSH reductase activities in all group lenses.CONCLUSION: Hyperoxia can induce the cortical opaci-fication in the lens. The role of NAC in the prevention of hyperoxia-induced cataract is superior to Tau.

Objective To investigate mental symptoms of SARS patients and its related factors for three period-admission, discharge and three months after SARS crisis and to carry out mental intervention and effect evaluation.Methods The mental problems of SARS patients in three periods of admission, discharger and three months after discharger were continuously investigated.114 SARS patients came from seven designated hospitals in Taiyuan of Shanxi. The participants were assessed by self- compiled stressor Questionnaire, PSSS, SCSQ, SES, SCL-90 and EPQ.Results 1.Change tendency of factor score: The SCL-90 total and factors scores including obsessive-compulsion, phobic anxiety went up during discharge compared with admission. After that,these factors scores went down. The factors scores of somatization and depression descended continuously for three period. 2.Change tendency of the incidence:The incidence on factors of obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, phobic anxiety ascended during discharge compared with admission. Then,these factors scores descended. The other factors went down continually for three periods.3. The self-esteem was influencing factor on mental symptoms of SARS patients for three periods.Conscientious condition severity was influencing factor in admission and discharge.Negative coping was influencing factor in discharge and three months after SARS crisis. Education was influencing factor in three months after SARS crisis.4.After intervention ,the most mental symptoms of 35 SARS patients had mental problems were improved. Dissimilarly, a part of mental symptoms got severity.Conclusions 1.SARS patients exist severe mood disorders and have different influencing factors for three periods. They should be evaluated continuously and be intervened in time.2.The effect of mental intervention by telephone is not uncertainty.
