OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of pharmaceutical care on blood glucose control and medication compliance in patients with diabetes mellitus. METHODS:Nighty-two discharged patients with diabetes mellitus in our hospital from Apr. to Sept. 2015 were divided into intervention group and control group by random number table method,with 46 cases in each group. Both groups were given Chlorpropamide tablets+Metformin glibenclamide tablets(Ⅰ)for 3 months;intervention group additionally re-ceived pharmaceutical care as medication education,telephone follow-up,etc. The levels of glycosylated hemoglobin and blood glu-cose,medication compliance were compared between 2 groups before and after treatment. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin and blood glucose,or medication compliance between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin and blood glucose in 2 groups were significantly decreased,and the intervention group was significantly lower than control group;the effects of blood glucose control in patients younger than 60 years old were better than in patients older than 60 years old,with statistical significance(P<0.05). After one month of treatment, the proportion of good medication compliance were increased significantly in 2 groups,and the intervention group was significantly higher than control group. After 3 months of treatment,the proportion of good medication compliance in 2 groups were significant-ly higher than before treatment,and 1 month after treatment,while the intervention group was significantly higher than control group. The improvement of medication compliance in patients younger than 60 years old was better than in patients older than 60 years old,with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Pharmaceutical care contributes to blood glucose control and improves the medication compliance,especially for those younger than 60 years old.

BACKGROUND: The biliary stents commonly used in clinic are made of plastics and metal, both of which have some irresolvable defects. New type of material characterizing by great biocompatibility and degradation for the making of biliary stents needs to be found and studied.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the biodegradation law and the change in radical force of five different mole-ratios of biliary stents made of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) in human bile in vitro.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A Completely random design was performed at the Laboratory of Hepatobiliary Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical College, Xi'an Jiaotong University between July and December 2006.MATERIALS: Five different mole-ratios of PLGA hiliary stents (90L/10G, 80L/20G, 70L/30G, 60L/40G, and 50L/50G) were provided by Dalgang Biological Science and Technology Co., Ltd., Jinan; Human fresh bile was obtained from the patients who underwent external drainage of bile in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical College, Xi'an Jiaotong University.METHODS: Thirty-two PLGA biliary stents of each proportion were respectively divided into eight groups, with four stents in each group. All of them were independently submerged into test tubes with 10 mL fresh human bile which were then placed in constant temperature oscillator. The temperature was set at 37 ℃. The bile was changed every day. After incubated for one week to eight weeks, the PLGA biliary stents were respectively taken out of test tubes from the first to the eighth group each week. They were washed with distilled water and dried in calorstat for 24 hours.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Gross morphology, color and integrality of PLGA stents; ② Scanning electron microscope; ③ the mass and the radical force of PLGA stents.RESULTS: ① Five different mole-ratios of PLGA stents followed a similar changing law as to gross morphology: stents remained intact → stents became soft → the surface ofstents became coarse and cracked → stents collapsed → stents were degraded into pieces → stents were completely degraded. ② Before degradation: limpid stereo reticular structure of PLGA; One week after degradation: PLGA was corroded and the reticular structure was decreased; Three weeks after degradation: airspace was gradually disappeared and the reticular structure was further decreased; Five weeks after degradation: airspace and the reticular structure were completely damaged, which was in an indefinite form. ③ The mass loss of each proportion of PLGA stents gradually speeded up along with the time extension. Furthermore, with the content of PGA increasing, the mass loss of the stents became faster. The initial radical force was different among five different mole-ratios of hiliary stents. With the content of PLA increasing, the radical force of the stents became stronger.CONCLUSION: The material of PLGA possesses adjustable biodegradation and good mechanical feature, so it is suitable for preparation of biliary stents.

Objective To study the association between clinical symptoms,psychosomatic factors and autonomic nervous function in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Methods Thirty-four patients with GERD diagnosed by reflux disease questionnaire (RDQ) and endoscopy and 15 healthy control subjects were enrolled in this study.All the subjects were divided into two groups,one with normal scores of Zung's self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and Zung's depression scale (SDS) as GERD (-) and the other with abnormal scores of SAS and SDS as GERD (+).Reflux symptom score was recorded for both groups at the same time.Autonomic nervous function was assessed by their heart rate variability (HRV) on dynamic electrocardiogram (DCG).The time domain parameters analyzed included standard deviation (SD) of average R-R interval during 24 hours (SDNN),SD of average 5-minute sinus heart rate (SDANN),mean square root of the difference of adjoining two R-R interval (rMSSD),and proportion of the heart beats with difference of R-R interval more than 50 ms from the total heart beats (PNN 50),and the frequency domain parameters analyzed included low-frequency (LF),high-frequency (HF) and ratio of LF to HF.Results Average scores of SAS and SDS were significantly higher in patients with GERD than those in healthy controls (48?9 vs 38?6 and 48?11 vs 41?6,respectively,P

BACKGROUND: Optical coherence tomography(OCT) is a new type of noncontactable, noninjurious retinal tomographic technique. Minor serous detachment in retinal neuroepithelial layer can be resoluted and shown by it. The range of inferior fluid of retinal neuroepithelail layer or pigment epithelial layer can also be quantitatively measured to evaluate the recovery of vision.OBJECTIVE: To study the applicative value of OPT in evaluating the relation of vision and neuroepithelial layer in idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy(ICSC) and its prognosis.DESIGN: Single sample study.SETTING: Ophthalmologic center in a university hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Patients with ICSC who were primarily diagnosed from January 1999 to June 2003 in the Ophthalmologic Center of the Medical College of Jinan University were included. There were 32 males and 8 females, with an average of(36.2 ± 5.6) years old.INTERVENTIONS: Zeiss-Humphrey OCT imaging meter was used for the examination. The maximal range and height of detachment in the serous detachment region of ICSC were measured respectively, and average value and standard deviation were then calculated.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Vision and the maximal range and height of serous detachment.RESULTS: Local detachment of retinal neuroepithelial layer in the center of macula retina was shown in the OCT images of the 40 eases(41 eyes) with ICSC. Detachment ranged from 705 to 5 720 μm[an average of (3 051 ± 1 338) μm], with the height from 55 to 491 μm[an average of (270 ± 114) μm] . Four eyes were complicated with serous detachment of pigment epithelial layer. And it was suggested by statistical analysis that the range and height of detachment were related with vision.CONCLUSION: OCT, as an objective noninjurious retinal tomography, its high resolution has important value and special predominee in the diagnosis, quantitative analysis and the detection and follow-up of optical functional assessment during the course of the ICSC.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Bushen Tiaochong Recipe (BTR) on proliferation and secretion of ovarian granulocyte (OGC) cultured with excessive androgen by serum pharmacologic technique.

METHODSFollicular stimulating hormone (FSH) contained and BTR contained (high, moderate or low dose) serum prepared on 6-week-old Sprague Dawley rats by serum pharmacologic method were respectively added into cultured OGC cell-line after treatment with testosterone propionat (TP). Then the cells were incubated for 48 hrs. The quantity of 3 H-thymidine incorporated DNA was determined with a scintillation counter; the cell cycle distribution and proliferation index (PI) were estimated with flow cytometer (FCM); and the contents of estrodial and progestogen in culture fluid and intracellular cAMP were detected by radioimmuoassay.

RESULTSExcessive androgen obviously inhibited the proliferation and secretion of OGC, and reduced the intracellular cAMP. BTR contained serum could improve above-mentioned inhibition of androgen to promote the cell proliferation and secretion of E2 and P in dose-dependant manner.

CONCLUSIONBTR could alleviate the inhibitory action of excessive androgen on OGC, the ovarian function may be adjusted by BTR through promoting follicular development, increasing the levels of estrogen and progestogen, improving the ratio of estrogen/androgen.
