ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To explore the effect of clinical pharmacists participating in the therapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia （BPH），and to provide reference for clinical pharmacists participating in the management of chronic diseases. METHODS：Totally 195 BPH patients ，admitted to urology outpatient department of Nanjing Jiangning Hospital during Jan. 2018 to Nov. 2019，were collected and divided into intervention group （98 cases）and control group （97 cases）according to visiting order. Patients in the control group received routine outpatient service of urology surgery . Clinical pharmacists took the initiative to provide individualized pharmaceutical care for intervention group on the basis of routine service ，which mainly included BPH disease education ，healthy lifestyle guidance ，and guidance on rational drug use. International prostate symptom score （IPSS）， quality of life score （QOL），medication adherence and disease progression were compared between 2 groups before intervention and at 2，4，6 and 9 months of follow-up. RESULTS ：Because 15 patients in intervention group lost follow-up ，83 cases were included in the intervention group and 97 cases were included in the control group. Before the intervention ，there was no statistical significance in general information ，IPSS，QOL scores and medication adherence between 2 groups（P＞0.05）. Compared with control group ，IPSS score and QOL score of intervention group were significantly decreased at 2，4，6 and 9 months of follow-up （P＜0.001）；the proportion of patients with high medication adherence in the intervention group increased significantly （P＜ 0.001）；there was no significant difference in disease progression as urinary tract infection between 2 groups （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS：The participation of clinical pharmacists in the treatment of BPH can significantly decrease IPSS score and QOL score，and improve medication adherence and therapeutic effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of ketamine on the expression of hippocampal microRNA-206 (miR-206) in the mentally depressed rats.Methods Eighty healthy female Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-300 g,aged 2-3 months,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=20 each) using a random number table:normal control group (C group),ketamine group (K group),depression group (D group) and depression + ketamine group (D+K group).Mental depression was induced by exposing the animal to chronic unpredictable mild stress.At 1 day after successful establishment of the model,ketamine 15 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally in K and D+K groups,while the equal volume of normal saline was given in C and D groups.Before establishment of thc model,at 7,14,21,28 and 35 days after beginning of establishment of the model,and at 1,3,5 and 7 days after administration,sucrose preference test was performed.Open field test was carried out at 1 day after administration.Forced swimming test was performed at 2 days after administration.Five rats were sacrificed at 6 h after administration,and hippocampal tissues were isolated for determination of the expression of hippocampal miR-206 by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.At 2 days after administration,5 rats were sacrificed,and hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression was detected by Western blot.Results Compared with C group,the volume of sucrose intake at 21-35 days after beginning of establishment of the model and at each time point after administration and the score of open field test were significantly decreased,the immobility time in forced swimming test was significantly prolonged,the expression of miR206 was up-regulated,and the expression of BDNF was down-regulated in D group,the immobility time in forced swimming test was shortened,the expression of miR-206 was down-regulated,and the expression of BDNF was up-regulated in group K,and the score of open field test and volume of sucrose intake at 21-35days after beginning of establishment of the model and the score of open field test were significantly decreased in D+K group (P＜0.05).Compared with D group,the volume of sucrose intake at each time point after administration was significantly increased,the immobility time in forced swimming test was shortened,the expression of miR-206 was down-regulated,and the expression of BDNF was up-regulated in D+K group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which ketamine exerts antidepressant effects is related to down-regulation of miR-206 expression and up-regulation of BDNF expression in the hippocampus of rats.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To prepare polyclonal antibody for recombinant hirudin Ⅲ (rHV3). METHODS: The antigens were prepared through two typical methods: one was conjugated with rHV3 itself, another was coupled with bovine serum albumin (BSA). Conjugation results were detected through electrophoresis. Then the rabbits, guinea pigs and rats were immunized and with serum sample taken for determination of antibody titer by double immunodiffusion test. RESULTS: Antibodies were produced in rabbits and DHP guinea pigs after immunization using rHV3-BSA as antigen, with antibody titer of 1∶16. CONCLUSION: After being immunized with rHV3-BSA, rabbits and DHP guinea pigs can produce polyclonal antibody for rHV3.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the ultrasonic features of fetus deformity.Methods 34 cases with fetus defomity were examined by Aloka 280 B-mode ultrasound and Hp-image point system(3.5 MHz transducer).Results Of the thirty-four cases with fetus deformity,thirty-one cases were seen and proved by the clinical induced labour and parturition.Only three of the cases were misdiangnosed.Conclusion Examination with the ultrasonic equipment is a simple and convenient way in the antenantal examination.Fetus deformity often exists simultaneously with various types of deformity and has close relationship with the amount of amniatic fluid.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To explore the differentiation and the functional behavior of marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) transplanted into the cerebral infarction area after cerebral middle artery ischemia in rats. METHODS: MSC were isolated from human rib marrow and cultured in L DMEM medium in vitro. The model of rat cerebral infarction by cerebra middle artery occlusion was established, and the identified MSC were transplanted intracerebrally 10 days later. Immunohistochemistry technique was used to identify the cell survivor and its differentiation to the neurogenesis in the transplantation site, and at 2 weeks and 6 weeks after transplantation, the functional tests were comparatively studied. RESULTS: The results showed that the survivor of transplanted MSC was differentiated to neural phenotype cells, and the functional behavior of the injury rats was recovered significantly after MSC transplantation (P
