Objective:To investigate the influence of practolol oral liquid on the rat model of water load. Methods: Totally 70 qualified rats were selected and randomly divided into seven groups with 10 ones in each, and the rats were with intragastric administra-tion respectively by practolol oral liquid (20,10 and 5 ml·kg-1 , respectively diluted 20 ml, 10 ml and 5 ml to 20 ml liquid with dis-tilled water), furosemide tablets suspension (0. 033 5 mg·ml-1), Qiliqiangxin capsule suspension(0. 03 g·ml-1) and distilled wa-ter with the same voulme( model) . The rats were placed in metabolism cages. After the administration, the urine volume was recorded every 1 h for 5 hours, the total volume of urine was collected during the 5 h, and the concentration of Na+, K+ and Cl- in the urine was measured. Results:Compared with that in the blank group, the urine volume in 2 h, 3 h and 5 h after the administration in the model group was significantly increased(P<0. 01), the total urine volume was also increased significantly(P<0. 01), the K+ con-centration was significantly reduced in the urine(P<0. 05), and there was an increasing trend of Na+ and Cl- concentration in the u-rine, which indicated that the water load model was made successfully. Compared with the model group, furosemide could significantly increase the urine volume in 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h and 5 h after the administration, and the total urine volume was increased as well ( P<0. 01). Qiliqiangxin capsule group could significantly increase the K+ concentration in the urine(P<0. 05), and furosemide could significantly reduce the K+ concentration in the urine (P<0. 05). High-dose practolol oral liquid could significantly increase the urine volume in 5 h after the administration and the Na+ and Cl- concentration(P<0. 01), mid-dose practolol oral liquid could significantly increase the urine volume in 3 h and 5 h after the administration and the total urine volume (P<0. 05), and improve the Cl- concen-tration in the urine (P<0. 05), and the Na+ and Cl- concentration in low-dose practolol oral liquid group was decreased significantly (P<0. 01). Compared with Qiliqiangxin capsule group, the high, medium and low-dose practolol oral liquid showed no significant in-fluence on the urine volume(P>0. 05), high-dose practolol oral liquid could significantly increase the Na+ concentration in the urine (P<0. 01), medium and low-dose practolol oral liquid could significantly increase the Na+ concentration in the urine(P<0. 05), low-dose practolol oral liquid could significantly reduce the K+ concentration(P<0. 01), high and medium-dose practolol oral liquid could significantly increase the Cl- concentration in the urine (P<0. 01), and low-dose practolol oral liquid could significantly reduce the Cl- concentration in the urine (P<0. 01) . Compared with the high-dose practolol oral liquid group, the influences of medium and low-dose practolol oral liquid showed no significant difference in the urine volumes(P>0. 05), however, the total urine volume could significantly increase(P<0. 01), and the medium and low-dose practolol oral liquid could significantly reduce the Na+ and Cl- con-centration in the urine(P<0. 01). Conclusion:Practolol oral liquid has significant diuretic effect in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective:To observe the effect of Erfukang oral liquid on microcirculation disturbance in mice with acute blood stasis caused by adrenaline. Methods:The mice were randomly divided into the blank group,Naodesheng group(1.35 g·kg-1),Erfukang oral liquid group respectively at high(30 ml·kg-1),medium(15 ml·kg-1) and low(7.5 ml·kg-1) dose,and a microcirculation apparatus was used to observe the number of capillary opening in the normal mice at one hour after the administration. The microcircu-lation disturbance of auricle was induced by the injection of epinephrine into caudal vein. The number of capillary opening and blood flow in 2 min in the mice were observed. Results:Compared with the blank group,Ergukang oral liquid at high,medium and low dose showed effect on the number of opening capillaries without statistical significance (P>0.05);compared with the model group, Erfu-kang oral liquid at high and medium dose could significantly improve the microcirculation induced by epinephrine (P<0.05 or P<0.01),and significantly confront the decreased number of capillary network opening induced by adrenaline(P<0.05). Conclusion:Erfukang oral liquid can improve microcirculation disturbance.

Objectives To assess tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment status in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China and analyze the response-associated factors.Methods From May to November in 2014,anonymous questionnaires were distributed to adult CML patients who were receiving TKI treatment all over China.Results 1 038 questionnaires were collected,949 questionnaires were evaluable.Of the 949 evaluable respondents,549 (58%) were male with the median age of 41 years (range,18 to 88 years).623 (66%) respondents lived in an urban area and 449 (47%) had an education level ≥ a bachelor degree.888 (94%) respondents were in the chronic phase at diagnosis,and 690 (78%) of them started TKI treatment within one year after diagnosis.794 (84%) respondents were on imatinib,768 (81%) on the branded.With a median TKI treatment duration of 3 years (range,<1 to 13 years),708 of 834 (85%) evaluable respondents achieved Ph-negative (i.e.complete cytogenetic response,CCyR),and 497 of 859 (46%) BCR-ABL negative (i.e.complete molecular response,CMR).Multivariate analyses showed that female (OR=l.8,95% CI 1.1-2.8,P=0.019 and OR=l.5,95%CI 1.1-2.0,P=0.015),TKI treatment duration >3 years (OR=4.1,95%CI 2.6-6.5,P<0.001 and OR=3.7,95%CI 2.7-5.1,P< 0.001) and imatinib taken (OR=2.1,95%CI 1.2-3.7,P=0.007 and OR=3.3,95%CI 2.1-5.1,P<0.001) were factors affecting achieving both CCyR and CMR.In addition,higher education level (OR=2.0,95%CI 1.3-3.1,P=0.003),starting TKI treatment <1 year (OR=2.4,95%CI 1.5-3.8,P<0.001) and branded drugs received (OR=2.4,95% CI 1.4-4.0,P=0.001) were factors affecting achieving a CCyR.In 884 respondents,534 (62%) reported "heavy financial burden" as the biggest treatment impediment,only 152 (17%) reported "poor quality of life related to adverse effects of TKI".Conclusions The survey showed that majority of the Chinese CML patients received imatinib as a TKI therapy,and most of the patients achieved satisfied responses by TKI.Financial burden became the major obstacle during TKI treatment.
