China Pharmacy 2005;0(13):-
OBJECTIVE:To provide references for the accountability of civil liability induced by different causes.METHODS:Literature retrieval and case study were applied to analyze the civil liability of pharmaceutical manufacturers and medical institution in medication misadventures.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:At present it is difficult for patients who suffered from medication misadventures caused by drug quality defects,drug adverse reaction or medication errors to claim.The main reasons are imperfect relevant law system and the vacancy of compensation mechanism of drug-induced injury events.It is suggested to establish technology institution for evaluating medication misadventures,state relief and compensation system and encourage pharmaceutical manufacturers to buy products liability insurance.

China Medical Equipment 2017;14(1):71-73,74
Objective:To explore the significance of multiple detector spiral CT multi-phase enhanced scan in differentiating liver tumors.Methods: A total of 141 patients, during from March 2011 to May 2015 in our hospital, pathologically diagnosed as liver tumors were selected to undergo multiple detector spiral CT multi-phase enhanced scan. The different performances and results in CT plain and enhanced scan for diagnosing liver cancer were observed and the sensitivity of CT multi-phase enhanced scan was analyzed.Results: 93 cases were found in CT plain scan; 141 cases were found in the arterial phase, 112 cases were found in portal venous phase and 108 cases were found in extension period in CT multi-phase enhanced scan. The lesion detection rate of CT plain scan was significantly lower than whichever of CT multi-phase enhanced scan(P<0.05); under CT multi-phase enhanced scan, the majority of lesions were typical imaging and could be diagnosed. Using CT multi-phase enhanced scan, the sensitivity of hemangiomas was 88.9%, abscess was 71.4%, focal nodular hyperplasia was 83.3%, primary liver cancer was 81.6%, and liver metastases was 97.8%; the total accuracy was 88.7%.Conclusion: The multiple detector spiral CT multi-phase enhanced scan can accurately identify liver tumor lesion stages, and it can contribute to further clinical treatment.
4.Impact of loss of a spouse on self-rated health among middle-aged and elderly populations in China
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2022;34(9):968-972
Objective:
To evaluate the impact of loss of a spouse on self-rated health among middle-aged and elderly populations in China, so as to provide insights into health promotion among middle-aged and elderly populations with loss of a spouse.
Methods:
Based the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) database, married and separated individuals or individuals with loss of a spouse at ages of 45 years and older and with monthly household consumption of no less than 100 yuan were enrolled. Subjects' age, gender, educational levels, marital status, monthly household consumption, number of chronic diseases and self-rated health were collected. Subjects were classified according to loss of a spouse, and the impact of loss of a spouse on self-rated health was evaluated among middle-aged and elderly populations using propensity score matching (PSM). In addition, heterogeneity test was performed to evaluate the gender- and educational level-stratified impacts.
Results:
Totally 3 272 valid subjects were enrolled, including 1 618 men (49.45%) and 1 654 women (50.55%), and there were 512 subjects with loss of a spouse (15.65%). There were 656 subjects with very good self-rated health (20.05%), 622 with good health (19.01%), 1 534 with fair health (46.88%), 376 with poor health (11.49%) and 84 with very poor health (2.57%). There were 3 152 couples with successful nearest neighbor matching, and there was no significant difference between the subjects with and without loss of a spouse after adjustment for variables (P>0.05), while the overall fitting degree of the model was good following matching. PSM showed that the self-rated health became poor following loss of a spouse among middle-aged and elderly populations, with average treatment effect (ATT) of 0.055 to 0.061, and a remarkably negative effect of loss of a spouse on self-rated health was seen in women, with ATT of 0.192 to 0.223, while no remarkable effect was seen in men. Loss of a spouse showed a remarkably negative effect on self-rated health among individuals receiving junior and senior high educations, with ATT of 0.048 to 0.057, but presented no remarkable effect on self-rated health among individuals receiving primary educations.
Conclusions
Loss of a spouse presents a negative effect on self-rated health among middle-aged and elderly populations, and remarkably negative effects are seen among women and individuals receiving high educational levels.

Object To study the volatile constituents in the TCM preparation "Pao Chai Pill" made in Yangcheng (Guangzhou) (YPCP) in comparison with that made in Hongkong (HPCP) to gain some insight for the renewal of YPCP to a new dosage form Methods The volatile constituents were extracted with the aid of ultrasonic wave in organic solvent, and identified by GC-MS and elucidated on the standard MS data Their relative contents in percentage were calculated by area normalization Results 24 and 20 volatile constituents were identified in YPCP and HPCP respectively Conclusion YPCP showed more rich in sesquiterpene lactones but less sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpene alcohols than HPCP

Objective To explore the expression of miR-21 and miR-19a in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and the relationship among the key target genes (SOCS3,STAT3) in JAK/STAT pathways.Methods The venous blood from 33 cases of active JIA in Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center were collected.All cases were divided into two groups:the systemic group (n=20),polyarthritis group (n=13).Twenty subjects were used as the normal control group.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were extracted and separated with Ficoll.miRNA was extracted and purified and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to obtain cDNA.Target genes of miRNA were detected through Targetscan and RNA22.U6 was used for reference of miR-19a,miR-21 and β-actin were used for STAT3,SOCS3,IL-6,TNF-α mRNA.All the expression were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR among the groups and calculated the result in standardized 2-ΔΔCT value,non-parametric test was used to test the differences.Results The expression of miR-21 were significantly reduced in the case group than the control group (Z=2.11,P=0.036),in which miR-21 was 7(7-8.5) times reduced than the SJIA group,6.49 (6-7) times than the pJIA group,the difference was statistically significant (Z=2.615,P=0.014 9;Z=2.654,P=0.0291).But no significant difference of miR-21 expression could be found between the SJIA and PJIA groups (Z=0.221,P =0.827 1).The expression of miR-19a was significantly reduced in the case group than the control group (Z=2.41,P=0.014),in which miR-19a was 11.3 (10-12.1) times to the SJIA group,12.2 (12-13.5) times to the pJIA group,the difference was statistically significant (Z=2.334,P=0.015 7;Z=2.414,P=0.026 6).But no significant difference could be detected in the miR-21 expression between the SJIA and the PJIA groups (Z=0.538,P=0.596).Software estimated that STAT3,SOCS3,TNF-α were the target genes of miR-21 and miR-19a in the JAK/STAT pathways respectively.Fluorescence quantitative PCR had shown that mRNA expression of STAT3 [6.24(2.81,7.54) and 3.97(1.81,5.75),P=0.001,0.008],TNF-α [3.03(2.07,3.80) and 3.42(2.46,4.68),P=0.002,0.001],IL-6[4.75(3.59,6.32) and 3.52(2.31,7.51),P=0.006,0.036],SOCS3[2.54(1.77,4.00) and 3.57(1.95,3.83),P=0.003,0.001] was higher in the case Group (SJIA group,the PJIA group) than the control group;STAT3 mRNA expression was negatively correlated with the miR-21 (r=-0.585 4,P=0.006 7;r=-0.613 4,P=0.044 7) and there was statistically significant difference.TNF-α,SOCS3 mRNA expression in the case group (SJIA group,PJIA group) was negatively correlated with the miR-19a.TNF-α (r=-0.664 2,P=0.001 4),SOCS3 (r=-0.790 3,P=0.000 1) of the SJIA group,was higher than those of the PJIA group TNF-α (r=-0.626 1,P=0.039 3),SOCS3 (r=-0.8824,P=0.003),the difference was significant.Conclusion The expression of miR-21,miR-19a in PBMC in the JIA patients are lower than the control group.The high expression of the target genes,miR-21,miR-19a of STAT3,SOCS3,TNF-α suggest that these genes might associate with,activating of JAK/STAT pathway.
