OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of formononetin （FMN） on the apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells in inflammatory bowel disease （IBD） rats and its possible mechanism. METHODS IBD rat model was constructed by using trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid （TNBS） induction. Forty-eight rats with successful modeling were divided into model group （normal saline）， low-dose and high-dose FMN groups （20 and 40 mg/kg FMN）， and high-dose FMN+YAP inhibitor Verteporfin （VTPF） group （40 mg/kg FMN+10 mg/kg VTPF）， with 12 rats in each group. Another 12 rats were set as the normal group （normal saline）. They were given drug/normal saline， once a day， for 7 consecutive days. After the last administration， the disease activity index （DAI） of rats was calculated， and the colon length of rats in each group was measured. The pathological changes in the colon tissue of rats were observed. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6） and IL-10 in serum were detected， and the apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells was detected. The expressions of Yes associated protein （YAP）， cleaved cysteine-containing aspartate proteolytic enzyme 3 （cleaved-caspase-3）， B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2） and Bcl-2 associated X protein （Bax） were detected in colon tissue of rats. RESULTS Compared with the normal group， DAI score， the levels of TNF-α and IL- 6， the apoptotic rate of intestinal epithelial cells， and the expressions of cleaved-caspase-3 and Bax protein in the model group were increased greatly （P＜0.05）； the length of the colon was greatly decreased （P＜0.05）， and the serum level of IL-10 and the protein expressions of YAP and Bcl-2 were greatly reduced （P＜0.05）. The cell morphology of colon tissue was abnormal， with disordered arrangement and inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with IBD group， the above indexes of rats were improved significantly in low-dose and high-dose FMN groups （P＜0.05）， in dose-dependent manner （P＜0.05）. VTPF significantly alleviated the effects of FMN on the above indexes of IBD rats （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS FMN may promote the expression of YAP by inhibiting the Hippo/YAP signaling pathway， thereby inhibiting apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells in IBD rats.

OBJECTIVE To establish an evaluation syste m of clinical effec tiveness of Drug Selection Guideline for Medical Institutions，and to provide reference for drug selection in medical institution. METHODS Retrieved from relevant Chinese government websites ，PubMed，Embase，CBM and CNKI ，etc.，from the inception to Sept. 14th 2021，related contents of clinical effectiveness related to three secondary indicators ，such as “recommended level and strength of guideline ”“clinical pathway ”and “evidence and level of efficacy ”were extracted respectively ；evaluation system was construction for the clinical effectiveness. RESULTS A total of 5，4 and 17 policy documents or literatures were included according to “recommended level and strength of guideline”“clinical pathway ”and“evidence and level of efficacy ”，respectively.“The recommended level and strength of drug guideline”could reflect the clinical effectiveness of drugs ，and the evaluation content referred to the recommended level and strength of the selected drugs in the guidelines for corresponding indications. “Clinical pathway ”was the embodiment of drug effectiveness, and the evaluation content referred to the clinical path of whether the selected drugs were included in the corresponding indications. The evaluation contents of “evidence and level of efficacy ”were different between chemical medicine/ biological agent and Chinese patent medicine ；evidence and quality level of efficacy research for chemical medicine/biological agent referred to GRADE system ，while those for Chinese patent medicine referred to classic works or clinical experience inheritance. Therefore，the evaluation contents of this index system were the evidence and quality level of the efficacy research related to selected drugs. CONCLUSIONS The evaluation system of clinical effectiveness of drugs constructed from the perspective of drug selection in medical institutions can lay the foundation of evaluation system for the construction of Drug Selection Guideline for Medical Institutions ，and also provide reference for drug selection in medical institutions.

Objective:To observe the effect of clinical pharmacists on the pain education in the patients with fracture. Methods:A total of 122 fracture patients with ASAⅠ/Ⅱaged 18-80 years were randomly divided into the intervention group (n=61) and the control group(n=61). The control group received the conventional orthopedic treatment..Flurbiprofen was injected for the postopera-tive analgesia,and if the pain VAS score was above 6,pethidine solution was given at the dose of 50 mg immediately. Based on the conventional treatment,the patients in the intervention group were educated by clinical pharmacist one day before the surgery,and then strengthened education was given after the surgery.The pain VAS score,and sleeping quality at 6h,24h,48h and 72h and satisfaction of pain management were compared between the groups.Results:The VAS score of the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group at 6 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h after the operation (P<0.05). The scores of sleeping quality in the intervention group at 6 h and 24 h after the operation were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The scores of patients' satisfaction were significantly higher in the intervention group than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The clinical pharmacist's pain education can improve the degree of pain control and sleeping quality,increase the patients' satisfaction with pain control to a cer-tain extent.

Objective To investigate influence factors on neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and find a preventive way against the said disorder. Methods A retrospective study was conducted of 63 cases NEC (observation group) and 70 cases non-NEC (control group) admitted to the neonatal intensive care units (NICU) of two hospitals from January 2010 to May 2014. The cases were grouped in 29 factors. The individual factors of 28 out of the 29 factors were analy-sised with SAS 9.1 statistical software, and the screened important factors were investigated by logistic regression. Re-sults The ratios of 4 factors, application of prenatal corticosteroids, breast feeding prior to the ailment, oral probiotics and hyperbilirubinemia in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, while the ratios of 14 factors were higher than those in the control group, premature rupture of membrane, asphyxia, respiratory distress syndrome, respiratory failure, umbilical venous catheters, oxygen uptake, sepsis, septic shock, disseminated intravascular coagula-tion (DIC), congenital heart disease, scleredema, hyponatremia, hypocalcaemia and transfusion. The differences of fac-tors mentioned were of statistic significance (P<0.05), while the differences of other factors were not statistically signifi-cant between the two groups (P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that breast feeding, oral probiotics and hy-perbilirubinemia were protective factors against NEC; while sepsis, congenital heart disease and transfusion were major factors that lead to NEC. Conclusion NEC resulted from a combination of multiple factors, with sepsis, congenital heart disease and transfusion as the leading ones. Breast feeding, oral probiotics, and non-excessive curing against hyper-bilirubinemia will help reduce the incidence of NEC.

On the basis of analyzing the defects in traditional averaging theory for extracting evoked potential (EP), and by realizing the characteristic of spontaneous electroencephalo-signal (S-EES) as well as the special environment for extracting EP, we propose an auto-reference, auto-correlation, adaptive interference cancellation (AAA-ICT) for use in the single trial of flash visual evoked potential (FVEP). Firstly, the segment of reference signal, which has the best correlation with evoked electroencephalo-signal (E-EES), was obtained using the method for calculating the sliding correlation point by point between E-EES and reference signal; then, the cancellation factor between E-EES and the most correlative reference signal segment was derived by the least square method; at last, the single trial of FVEP was acquired by interference cancellation. By this method, FVEP can be extracted perfectly and the FVEP variability of individual inter-stimulation can be obtained.

In the literatures on the human vision physiology and physics, there were reports about space resolution limit of 1' visual angle, frequency resolution limit of 5 nm and time resolution limit of 0.1" of human vision. However, there has been no report about the contrast resolution limit of human vision,especially the report of measuring method and result about the contrast resolution limit of human vision based on the modern digital image processing. Here we report a modern method for measuring the contrast resolution limit of human vision based on computer digital image processing technology, and we present the measured results and their mathematical models. The function relationships of contrast resolution limit varying with background gray in a photopic or a scotopic sights were illuminated respectively. It can be expected that such investigations with regard to human vision will establish the physiological foundation of the theories and techniques in hiding bodies and hiding figures (stealth), in anti-hiding bodies and anti-hiding figures, in the night vision system independent of infrared, as well as in their relative industries.

Objective To study the distribution patterns of the SNPs for the 3 sites (Ⅱe105Val, Ala114Val and Asp147Tyr) of glutathione S-transferase pi (GST-pi) in epilepsy patients without definite etiological factors. Methods At the same time, the possible relationship of GST-pi gene mutation with the vulnerability of drug-resistant epilepsy, drug-responsive epilepsy and EEG feature were explored. The SNPs of GST-pi for healthy people, drug-responsive epilepsy patients and drug-resistant epilepsy patients were genotyped by sequence-specific primers (SSP)-based PCR technologies (PCR-SSP). Results In drugresponsive epilepsy group, the frequency for 3 sites of mutated SNP of GST-pi was 59.62%, 55.32% and 50.94%, while it was 58.33%, 51.19% and 45.92% in drug-resistant epilepsy group. The difference of genotype and allele between normal group and foregoing epilepsy group was significant ( P<0.01 ), but no difference was found between drug-respensive epilepsy group and drug-resistant epilepsy group ( P>0.05 ). There was a difference of genotype distribution between groups with typical and untypical epilepsy EEG ( F = 0.0294, 8.867 × 10-6, 1.366 × 10-5, P<0.05 ). Conclusions The results indicate that the SNPs of GST-pi are associated with an increased risk of epilepsy, but not associated with an increased risk of drugresistant epilepsy. The patients present EEG characteristic of typical epilepsy.

This study was directed at extracting the rabbit somatosensory evoked potential (SEP), locating and analyzing the waveform of rabbit SEP. The rabbit was narcotized and stimulated by 0.5 Hz electric pulse. Potential of scalp was sampled at 3.764 Hz. Rabbit somatosensory evoked potential was extracted by one-dimension multi-resolution analysis, and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) was employed to locate and analyze the wave of SEP. The study results showed that Single-trail SEP can be extracted by Daubechies wavelet, when wavelet transform result of single-trail was compared with the result of averaged SEP. Wave component of SEP can be located precisely through the method of continuous wavelet transform. Frequency feature of SEP can also be analyzed by CWT. The technique of continuous wavelet transform, which can project a one-dimension signal into a two-dimension time-frequency space, shows good application prospect of processing medical electronic signal.
