Conclusion:Inhalation drug delivery systems show good application prospect.

OBJECTIVE:To improve the rational use of antibiotics,and to reduce the incidence of adverse drug reactions and the waste of medical resources.METHODS:Multiple intervention measures were taken to promote the rational use of an?tibacterials.RESULTS&CONCLUSION:The measures were effective.Rational use of antibacterials is a integrated and comprehensive mechanics,in which the department of pharmacy should play its role as a wise regulator,active participant,coordinator and communicator.

Objective To construct an expression vector containing esp1 in order to investigate the effects on the chromatid separation. Methods A conditional plasmid vector containing esp1 was constructed, and was transfected into spc cells. The expression level of esp1 was detected by fluorescence microscopy, and the chromosomes were observed. Results EGFP-N1-esp1 was expressed in spc cells, and improper chromosome segregation was reduced. The plasmid of pTRE-d2EGFP-esp1 was constructed successfully. Conclusion Up-regulation of esp1 has inhibitory effects on the abnormal chromatid separation of tumors and may be potential in the treatment of cancer.

Rep78/68 is a kind of nonstructural protein from adeno-associated virus. It inhibits a variety of viruses and tumor transformation. In addition, it has significant effect on the proliferation and metabolism of host cells. In this paper, we reviewed the latest research advances of this protein.

Sleep disorder is a common complication of dialysis patients, seriously affecting the life quality and prognosis of the patients. How to improve the quality of sleep of dialysis patients, their quality of life and survival rate, is still a major clinical problem. At present, the pathogenesis of dialysis patients with sleep disorders is not clear. Western medicine treatment is sedative hypnotic drugs, with obvious adverse reactions, and long-term use will reduce the efficacy and easy to produce dependencies. The effects of TCM on improving sleep disorders and life quality of dialysis patients is worth expectation. This article introduced the experience in using classic prescriptions and dialectical treatment for dialysis sleep disorder, with significant clinical efficacy.

OBJECTIVETo explore clinical effectiveness of internal fixation and semi-shoulder arthroplasty in treating proximal humerus comminuted fractures in elderly.

METHODSFrom October 2009 and October 2011, 32 patients aged over 60 years old with three and four-part fractures of proximal humeral were treated with internal fixation (20 cases) and semi-shoulder arthroplasty (12 cases). In internal fixation group, there were 6 males and 14 females aged from 63 to 82 years old (ranged, 71.50 +/- 5.45), 8 cases with three-part fracture and 12 cases with four-part fracture, and treated with open reduction and locking plate internal fixation. While in semi-shoulder arthroplasty group, there were 4 males and 8 females aged from 61 to 85 years old (ranged, 72.80 +/- 6.80), 5 cases with three-part fracture and 7 cases with four-part fracture, and treated with semi-shoulder arthroplasty. Postoperative complications were observed, EQ-5D was used to evaluate quality of life, and Constant-Murley score was used to assess functional outcomes.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 12 to 24 months with an average of 18 months. All injuries were healed at stage I . Two cases in internal fixation group occurred severe complications, including 1 case with screw fracture, 1 case with avascular necrosis of humeral head. EQ-5D in interal fixation group and semi-shoulder arthroplasty group were respectively 0.65 +/- 0.12, 0.67 +/- 0.12, Constant-Murley score respectively was 63.20 +/- 11.35 and 66.80 +/- 11.96, and with no statistical meaning between two goups (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONThere is no difference in qulity of life and functional recovery for the treatment of proximal humerus comminuted fractures by open reduction and internal fixation and semi-shoulder arthroplasty. However, the complication rate in semi-shoulder arthroplasty was lower than that of internal fixation group.

Objective To evaluate the effect of low dose Xuezhikang on the regression of arteriosclerosis plaque in carotid artery. Methods Thirty patients with perennial dizziness and headache were enrolled (including the persons of normal blood lipid). The plaque and blood lipid level were evaluated before and after treatment with Xuezhikang capsule for 3 to 6 months. The carotid arteries were assessed by Doppler ultrasonography. Results 15 patients of abnormal blood lipid adjusted to normal.The carotid intima-media thickness were regressed from (1.15?0.10) mm to(0.99?0.08) mm (P

It is now widely accepted that platelet aggregation plays an important role in physiological hemostasis and pathological thrombosis associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Anti-platelet aggregation drug research is also a hot spot of current research. The biggest challenge of antiplatelet therapy has been the molecular overlap of the hemostasis and thrombosis, leading to a serious risk of bleeding. Recent studies have emphasized the importance of shear stress generated from blood flow, which will primarily drive platelet activation and aggregation in thrombosis. So if we can take advantage of the differences between the physiological and pathological vascular blood flow environment, the development of selective anti-platelet therapy may be a safer treatment for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In this review, we discuss the underlying mechanisms of shear-induced platelet activation. Later, we summarize the effects and mechanisms of compounds and traditional Chinese medicine on shear-induced platelet activation. The aim is to provide a reference for the study of biological pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

Objective: To investigate the lignans compounds constituents of Lavandula angustifolia. Methods: The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by TLC, silica gel, MCI-gel, and RP-HPLC, and their structures were identified by analysis of spectroscopic evidences and physicochemical properties. Results: A total of 11 constituents were isolated from L. angustifolia and elucidated as pinoresinol (1), syringaresinol (2), fraxiresinol-4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), syringaresinol-4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), 8-hydroxypinoresinol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), rel-(2α,3β)-7-O-methylcedrusin (6), lariciresinol-4'-O-β-D-glucoside (7), (2S,3R)-2,3-dihydro-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-7-methoxybenzofuran-5-(trans) propen-1-ol-3-O-β-glucoside (8), (7S,8R)-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-9-β-D-glucopyranoside (9), (7R,8R)-7,8-dihydro-9'-hydroxyl-3'-methoxyl-8- hydroxymethyl-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1'-benzofuranpropanol-9'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (10), and (E)-3-((2S,3S)-2-(4- hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-7-methoxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl) allyl-2-hydroxyacetate (11).
