OBJECTIVE:To study the pharmacodynamics of Xiaozhongzhitong capsules.METHODS:The pharmacodynamics of Xiaozhongzhitong capsules was studied through rat mesenteric microcirculation test,mouse pain writhing test and mouse ear swelling test.RESULTS:The Xiaozhongzhitong capsules improved rats' mesenteric microcirculation disturbance, attenuated the pain action of mouse induced by acetate acid,and significantly inhabited the ear swelling of mouse caused by dimethylbenzene.CONCLUSION:Xiaozhongzhitong capsules showed proved efficacy in activating blood,dissolving stasis, eliminating swelling and alleviating pain,and the results serve as an experimental basis for the clinical application of Xiao zhongzhitong capsules.

Objective To compare real -time tissue elastography (RTE)and ultrasound in the diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC)with cervical lymph node (LN)metastasis.Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out on the clinical data of 72 patients with PTC.Eighty -four LNs of them were performed with ultrasound-guided fine -needle aspiration biopsy.Patients were divided into two groups:with cervical lymph node metastasis group and without cervical lymph node metastasis group.All patients were reviewed their B -mode ultrasonography (BUS)on cervical lymph node and RTE on thyroid.RTE elasticity indices (EI)of mean (Emean),minimum (Emin),maximum (Emax)and the ratio of Emean in LNs and surrounding muscle (Emean -m)were measured at the thyroids.The performances of RTE and BUS in predicting of PTC with LN metastasis were compared and ana-lyzed.Results The sensitivity and specificity of BUS on diagnosis of the cervical lymph nodes metastasis were 84.0% and 90.0%.The RTE Emea,Emax,Emin and SI in meta -static LNs were significantly higher than those in benign LNs(P =0.001,0.002,0.001,0.007).The RTE results of PTC patients with lymph node metastasis was ana-lyzed by ROC curve.The largest area was Emin.AUC was 0.918,the critical value was 0.240.AUC of SI was 0.896, AUC of Emean was 0.718,AUC of Emax was 0.670.The sensitivity and specificity were 94.0% and 99.4%,respec-tively.Conclusion Co -operation of RTE and BUS was more accurate than simple BUS in diagnosis of PTC with lymph node metastasis.SI and Emin has a high diagnostic value.

A rat model of metabolic syndrome was induced by high glucose plus high fat diet and treated by tea polyphenols for 10 weeks.The results showed that the levels of fasting blood glucose,triglyceride,cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,and free fatty acid in tea polyphenols treatment group were significantly lower than those in control group(all P＜0.05),along with decreased TNF-α,IFN-γ,iNOS mRNA and protein expressions,and IL-1β protein expression in pancreatictissue (all P＜0.05).Under electron microscope,more secretory granules in islet beta cells and impoveddisorganization of cellular organ were shown in tea polyphenols treatment group compared with metabolic syndrome group.The results suggest that tea polyphenols are able to protect islet β cells against oxidative damage via inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines.

This paper discussed the method and procedure of building a hospital operational data center,and introduced the application of its service with examples.Three aspects discussed in the paper cover the setup of information standard,integration of heterogeneous data resources,and flexible data presentation.Other issues discussed include key challenges and solutions for development of hospital data center systems.Such a platform enables the hospital in a successful standardization and structural management of its clinical data.
