OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for drug production,parchase and use in local governments,health care depart-ment,hospitals,manufacturers and sales enterprises,etc. METHODS:By consumption sum sorting method,the information of 14 categories and key types in 34 hospitals from Chongqing area during 2012-2014 were analyzed statistically such as sales,produc-tion manufacturers. RESULTS:The consumption sum of 34 hospitals from Chongqing area increased by 15%-17% during 2012-2014. The consumption sum and proportion of anti-infective drugs showed a downward trend,decreasing by 3.28%. Those of respi-ratory system drugs and anti-tumor drugs had the largest increase,with increasing rate of 79.01% and 69.39%,respectively. Do-mestic drugs accounted for about 73% market share,and sales of imported drugs increased more than domestic and joint-stock drugs,increasing by 40.17%. Among 6 Chongqing pharmaceutical manufacturers on the top 100 consumption sum shortlist,total consumption sum of 3 manufacturers had increased;the consumption sum of top 10 foreign pharmaceutical manufactures increased year by year. CONCLUSIONS:The consumption sum of drugs is increasing in Chongqing area. Anti-infective drugs accounted for less than 16%,which is the achievements of clinical application of antibiotics special rectification activities for 3 years. Both respi-ratory system disease and malignant tumor have high incidence in Chongqing area. Domestic drugs still are main types in hospital. Foreign manufacturers develop well in China,but Chongqing pharmaceutical manufacturers show unsatisfactory development pros-pect.

BACKGROUND: It is a new tendency to treat central nervous system injury or tumor therapy using the combination of seed cells and gene therapy.OBJECTIVE: To observe the dose-relationship between transfection and expression of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSCs) with adenovirus vector carrying green fluorescent protein (Ad-GFP), and to study its effects on cell biological properties, in addition, to explore the feasibility of using Ad-GFP vector to construct gene modified BMSCs.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized grouping, contrast observation. The experiment was performed at the Southern Medical University between August 2008 and March 2009.MATERIALS: New Zealand white rabbits, irrespective of genders, weighing 2.0-3.0 kg, were selected.METHODS: BMSCs were separated and cultured in vitro, and then the cell immunophenotypes were detected by flow cytometry.The adenovirus was obtained by packaging 293 cells and was used to transfect BMSCs with various liters (1 ×-10~3-1×10~(10) PFU/mL).Cytometry was used to analyze the transfection efficiency.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cell morphological changes were detected under an invert microscope. The cell proliferation was detected by CCK8 kits. BMSCs transfected with Ad-GFP were induced differentiating into neuron-like cells by adding of β-mercaptoethanol.RESULTS: The surface markers of 3-6-generation BMSCs were negative to CD34 and CD45, but positive for CD29 and CD44.When the virus titers were 1 ×10~7 PFU/mL, the transfection rate was 55%, which were 85% when the virus titers were 1 ×10~9 and1×10~(10) PFU/mL. However, cell pathology phenomenon occurred when the virus titer was 1 ×10~(10) PFU/mL. The fluorescence was strongest expressed at day 7, and it still can be seen at day 28. The BMSCs trasfected with Ad-GFP could differentiate into neuron-like cells under induction of p-mercaptoethanol, with positive neuron-specific enolase.CONCLUSION: Ad-GFP with suitable titers can infect BMSCs effectively with little influence on the biology property or differentiation function. BMSCs can serve as seeds cell in gene therapy field when utilizing ad-GFP vector system.

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) medicines have strong therapeutic potential for numerous rare genetic illnesses and malignancies because of its exact programmability based on Watson-Crick base pairing principle and unique ability to regulate gene expression. However, RNA medicines still have limitations in many areas, including stability, half-life time, immunogenicity, organ selectivity, cellular uptake and endosomal escape efficiency despite their great therapeutic potentials. This review briefly introduced numerous RNA medications [mostly messenger RNA (mRNA), small interfering RNA (siRNA), microRNA (miRNA) and antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)] that have intrigued of researchers in recent years, as well as their action mechanism in vivo. A number of delivery techniques, such as chemical modification, ligands coupling and nanocarriers have been proposed. The manufacture and applications of lipid nanoparticle, polymer nanoparticle and exosomes were discussed in depth. The goal of this work is to give a theoretical foundation and design concepts for the development of effective and safe RNA delivery technology, as well as to facilitate RNA therapeutic clinical translation.
