Objective To study the antidepressant-like effect of Butanol Extract from Stevia (BEFS) and its possible corresponding mechanisms.Methods Forty-five mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,model + Fluoxetine group,model + BEFS-3 g/kg group and model + BEFS-6 g/kg group.The chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS) for 3 weeks was used to make up depressive animal model.It was based on body weight,crossing numbers,rearing numbers and sucrose preference to assess whether the model was a success.After continuous lavage giving BEFS and fluoxetine for 2 weeks and subsequent behavioral test,the mRNA transcription of Single immunoglobulin interleukin-1 receptor-related molecule (SIGIRR) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) in liver tissue of mice were detected by using quantitative real time-PCR.Results Three weeks after CUMS,behavior parameters were significantly decreased in mice exposed to CUMS compared with control group[(17.28 ±0.49) g vs (22.47 ± 0.82) g,P =0.000;(43.35 ± 1.68) scores vs (125.25 ± 3.07) scores,P =0.000;(3.92 ± 0.18) scores vs (15.92 ± 1.78) scores,P =0.000;(49.39 ± 2.05) % vs (67.18 ± 4.46) %,P =0.001].However,2 weeks after dosing,body weight,crossing numbers,rearing numbers and sucrose preference were (19.03 ± 0.44) g,(70.50 ± 6.56) scores,(3.08 ± 0.77) scores and (41.27 ± 7.59) %,respectively in model group.Compared to model group,behavior parameters of BEFS (3 and 6 g/kg BEFS) groups were significantly increased [BEFS-6 g/kg group:(24.42 ± 1.46) g,(99.75 ± 5.07) scores,(13.08 ± 1.60) scores,(64.31 ± 1.92) %,all P < 0.05;BEFS-3 g/kg group:(23.82 ± 1.72) g,(91.67 ± 5.69) scores,(6.92 ± 1.05) scores,(59.56 ± 5.31) %,respectively,all P < 0.05].Correspondingly,BEFS could reverse the mRNA expression of SIGIRR lowering and NF-κB rising in the liver of mice exposed to CUMS(BEFS-6 g/kg group:1.208 1 ± 0.102 2,1.437 7 ± 0.352 9;BEFS-3 g/kg group:0.768 0 ± 0.108 6,2.186 2 ± 0.203 8,all P < 0.05).Conclusions BEFS can remarkably improve depression-like behaviors in CUMS mice and its antidepressant activity is mediated,at least in part,by upregulating SIGIRR and downregulating NF-κB in the liver.

OBJECTIV E To develop the infor mation-based pharmaceutical care pathway of anticoagulant therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation and improve the efficacy and safety of treatment for them. METHODS The“anticoagulant pharmaceutical care”module was developed on the basis of medical intelligent and decision system. Patients with atrial fibrillation were taken pharmaceutical care in the whole anticoagulant treatment by evaluating the thromboembolism and bleeding risks ,pre-reviewing antithrombotic prescriptions ,monitoring efficacy and drug interactions ,and warning adverse reactions. RESULTS A total of 1 228 patients receiving anticoagulant therapy were enrolled. It was found after analysis of their doctor ’s orders that 9.27% of the patients adjusted the improper antithrombotic therapies ,3.99% modulated treatments according to the effects of potential drug interactions or the risk of adverse reactions ,and 70.29% of the wrong prescriptions were intervened successfully. After the information-based pharmaceutical care ,the anticoagulation treatment rate increased from 88.73% to 97.40%,the rate of patients ’achievements to warfarin’s international normalized ratio in hospital increased from 38.64% to 66.67%,and the incidence of serious bleeding events decreased from 2.94% to 0.37% (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The information-based pharmaceutical care path of anticoagulant therapy achieved comprehensive ,efficient and accurate management of patients with atrial fibrillation ,and improved the rationality ,effectiveness and safety of anticoagulant therapy.
