OBJECTIVE:To provide suggestions for the setting-up of the current pharmacovigilance(PV)system.METHODS:The characteristics of the setup of the PV system in both US and France were analyzed and the problems encountered in current monitoring system of adverse drug effects were pointed out.RESULTS & CONCLUSION:Both American and French PV systems have their own advantages and we should learn from it and draw useful experiences from them.In constructing PV system,China should make improvement in organization,communication,financial resource and information technology etc.

In order to have a better understanding of the relation between vertical dimension and occlusal force,a meter was made by means of straingauge.Five Japanese men were investi- gated for occlusal force at different vertical dimensions.The measurements showed that the maximal occlusal force of the posterior teeth occured at 8 to 15mm or the vertical dimension, the maximal occlusal forec of the anterior teeth occured at 13 to 18mm.This indicated that the occlusal force was closely related to the state of jaw closing muscle.

Objective To explore the improvement of minocycline on negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia and its influence on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α.Methods Patients with schizophrenia were randomly assigned into two groups.One was olanzapine combined with placebo group (control group, 37 cases).The other was olanzapine combined with minocycline group (treatment group, 200 mg ·d-1,po,bid, 38 cases).Both groups were assessed by the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS), the scale for the assessment of negative symptoms (SANS), and also tested the level of TNF-α before and after 12 weeks treatments.Results After 12 weeks treatments, the scores of SANS and PANSS in treatment group were significantly lower than those of control group (P<0.05).The level of TNF-α in treatment group[(6.5±1.3) pg ·mL-1]was significantly lower than that of control group[(7.6±1.8) pg ·mL-1] (P<0.01).Conclusion Minocycline can improve negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia, and the mechanism may be related to lower the level of TNF-α.

Objective To investigate the effects of the EGF on isolation and cloning of mouse embryonic stem-like cells from PGCs. Methods EGF with different density were added to the culture medium of cells .After a culturing period ,the cloning number of mouse embryonic stem-like cells and the topmost passage would be observed and registered. Results There was not obvious effects on the primary culture of mouse ESC and was distinct on the later passage if EGF were used. Conclusions In the primary passage of mouse ESC may survive without EGF,and the impact of the existence of EGF was better than the one of the inexistence to the cloning of mouse ESC.

Objective To evaluation the Diagnosis value of single and consociation to drawing materials methods with bronchofibroscopy in pulmonary carcinoma.Methods 481 diagnosed patients with pulmonary carcinoma by bronchofibroscopy during July 2000 to July 2006 were analyzed.Four different drawing materials method including clamping,brushing,needling and rinse checking were used to diagnose.The positive rates of these four methods were compared with single and consociation to drawing materials methods.Results The positive rate of clamping,brushing,needling and rinse checking were 83.9%,70%,59.1%and 35.9%respectively,and the total positive rate was 90.2%after being united.Conclusions Bronchofibroscopy is one of the most important methods in diagnosing pulmonary carcinoma. Using multiple drawing materials methods in bronchofibroscopy can improve the accuracy rate of diagnosis of lung cancer significantly.

Objective;To test the relationship between Collective Self-Esteem,Self-Esteem and Depression,Anxiety.Methods;800 freshmen completed the Collective Self-Esteem Scale,the self-Esteem Sale,Self-Rating Depression Scale and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale.Results;①The rate of slight depression was 21.6%;moderate depression,5.9%;high depression,1.6%.The mean of anxiety was 42,the mode of anxiety was 36.②The predicting effects of Self-Esteem,private collective self-esteem and public collective self-esteem on depression were significant(P

Overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a common characteristic of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) , and initiates important signal transduction pathways in carcinogenesis. Now the EGFR is a validated target for cancer therapies in HNSCC. However, the effect of EGFR-targeted therapies is only modest because of primary and/or acquired resistance. Therefore, an improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms of resistance to EGFR inhibitors may establish new treatment options to overcome resistance. In this review, the molecular mechanisms of resistance and the strategies to overcome it were summarized.

miRNA is a kind of small,endogenous noncoding RNA which regulates gene expression in post-transcription level and is highly conserved and tissue-specificity,miRNA generally participates the regulation of many complicated vital process,such as cell growth,development and also plays an important role in the pathogenesis of many kinds of tumors,miR-34b is a newly discovered miRNA,which is regulated by p53,promoter methylation and so on.miR-34b can regulate cellular proliferation and apoptosis,and also involves in the generation and regulation of tumor,which suggests wide application prospect in therapy and prognosis of tumor.This review will focus on the progress of miR-34b and its relationship with tumor.

Intrinsic or acquired chemo-resistance is the main reason for chemotherapy failure, and thus finding ways to reverse chemo-resistance has become an interesting topic for research. Studies have revealed that immunomodulatory molecules are involved in cancer chemo-resistance. Hence, interventions that target immunomodulatory molecules to reverse chemo-resistance have attracted a great deal of concern from domestic and foreign scholars. Immunomodulatory molecules, such as PD-L1, B7-H3, HMGB1, TRAIL, MyD88, and Cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-α, IL-6), have been proven to take part in regulating immune function and tumor drug-resistance characteristics, thereby providing new ideas to the reversal of tumor chemo-resistance. This artide reviews the progression of immuno-modulatory molecules with the change in cancer chemotherapy sensitivity to provide a theoretical basis for the application of new thera-peutic regimen of bio-chemotherapy.
