Abstract:
The TNF-α signaling pathway is a valuable target in the therapy of autoimmune diseases. TNF-α binds to two different receptors and exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic effects. The drugs of anti-TNF-α are widely used in rheumatoid arthritis, such as infliximab, adalimumab etc. These TNF blockers have become invaluable tools to reduce damages induced by inflammation and allow recovery of the affected tissues. Unfortunately, this therapy has some drawbacks, such as increasing the risk of infection, malignancy and the incidence rate of new auto-immune diseases. Some of these effects are caused by the unwanted abrogation of beneficial TNF signaling. Therefore, elective antagonism of TNFR is an important approach to alleviate the side effects of TNF-α antibody. The medications specifically targeting the TNFR might have better applicability and safety. In this article, research progresses of TNF-α and its receptors in the therapy of rheumatoid arthritis were reviewed.

Abstract:
The incident number and death toll of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases increase continuously in China. The impairment of arterial baroreflex (ABR) is closely related to the genesis and development of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (such as hypertension and chronic heart failure). Barostim neoTM (by American CRVx. Inc) can reduce blood pressure and heart rate by electrically stimulating carotid sinus baroreceptors and activating baroreflex. Therefore, it can be used to treat resistant hypertension, heart failure and end-stage renal disease, etc. The mechanism of baroreflex activation therapy (BAT) includes inhibiting sympathetic nervous system and rennin-angiotensin system, and increasing the activity of vagus nerve. Thus it improves baroreflex sensitivity and heart rate variability, and restores the structure and function of key organs.

Abstract:
In recent years, with the wide use of antimicrobial agents, the adverse reactions related to antimicrobial agents have attracted more and more attention.Among them, the adverse reactions in hematological system induced by antibacterial agents seriously affect patient's health and doctor's selection for antibiotics.For example, some beta lactam antibiotics can cause dysfunction of coagulation and hemolytic anemia.Chloramphenicol and sulfonamides can cause aplastic anemia.Linezolid can cause thrombocytopenia and anemia.It is important to understand the adverse reactions in hematological system caused by antibiotics.In this paper, the antibiotic induced adverse reactions in hematological system and their mechanism were summarized in order to provide information for the rational use of antimicrobial agents.

Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of Euphorbia helioscopia on MDA-MB-231 cells and its mechanism. Methods The cell viability was detected by MTT assay. The production of ROS in MDA-MB-231 cells was measured by fluorescence microscopy. The apoptotic rate was detected by flow cytometry. Apoptosis DNA fragments were detected by TUNEL assay. Western blot was used to assess the expression of caspase-9, caspase-3 and PARP. Results MTT assay showed that the extract significantly inhibited the viability of MDA-MB-231 cells, which can be diminished by the ROS inhibitor NAC and the caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK. The marked increase in the production of ROS induced by the extract was observed with fluorescence microscopy. Flow cytometry showed that the PI positive staining cells increased significantly after the treatment of the extract, but was diminished by NAC. Caspase-9 and caspase-3 were activated after the treatment of the extract while the PARP was cleaved. TUNEL showed that a significant increase in apoptotic DNA fragmentation induced by the extract, which can be diminished by NAC and Z-VAD-FMK. Conclusion Ethyl acetate extract inhibited the MDA-MB-231 cells and induced apoptosis. The mechanism may involve with the mitochondrial damage due to the excessive ROS.

Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality globally. The therapeutic results on hepatocellular carcinoma with surgery and other classical treatments are not satisfactory. Tumor immunotherapies, such as dendritic cells and cytokine-induced killer cells (DC-CIK), tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T), immune checkpoint blockade (such as PD-1 blockade,CTL4 blockade) etc., are very promising new therapeutic approaches. In this paper, the progresses in the immunotherapy, mainly on PD-1, DC-CIK, TIL, are reviewed. Also pluripotent immune killer cells (PIK) which was developed in our lab was briefly introduced.

Abstract:
Objective To optimize the treatment plan for dermatitis medicamentosa in a patient with abnormal liver function associated with infection. Methods The culprit medication for drug eruption was identified by reviewing the patient's liver and kidney function, routine blood count, therapeutic drugs, allergic history, by analyzing the characteristics of the compounding medication, combined with literature search on drug eruption diagnosis and treatments. Following the antihistamines and glucocorticoid use guidelines, the treatment plan was optimized by selecting appropriate antihistamines and glucocorticoids based on their metabolism and excretion pathway. Results The rash was poorly controlled after clinical pharmacist's initial recommendation to use chlorpheniramine (intramuscular injection) and cetirizine (oral). The clinical pharmacist further suggested dexamethasone intravenous drip. The patient recovered well with the combination therapy of antihistamines and glucocorticoid. Conclusion When drug eruption occurred, clinical pharmacists should evaluate patient's disease and medications comprehensively, provide timely and accurate pharmaceutical care to patients.

Abstract:
Objective To promote the rational antibacterial drug use for common digestive system (DS) diseases by reviewing the clinical application of antibacterial drugs for hospitalized patients, formulating the hospital clinical specification of antibacterial drugs for common DS diseases and establishing the clinical application of antibacterial drug differentiation index for DS department. Methods 300 cases were selected from 2 060 hospitalized DS patients in the year 2014 based on the given disease ratio. The usage rate and intensity of antibiotics were calculated with survey and medical statistical analysis. The differentiation index for the clinical application of antibacterial drugs were established. Results Theoretical values of usage rate and use intensity of antibiotics in DS department were 29.0%, 41.5 DDDs according to analysis. However, the practical values were 40.3%, 50.3 DDDs. Conclusion It is necessary to improve the level of clinical antibacterial drug use. One effective way to achieve such goal is to establish the differentiation index of antibacterial drug clinical application for the department.
