Objective To investigate the protective effect of nerve growth factor (NGF) on apoptosis of cultured human fetal retinal pigment epithelium (HFRPE) cells induced by indomethacin (IN) in vitro.Methods Subcultured HFRPE cells were treated with different concentrations of IN to establish apoptotic model. The protective effect of NGF on apoptosis of cultured HFRPE cells were assessed using an acridine orange (AO) staining method and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).Results HFRPE cells exposed by 200-600 μmol/L IN for 24 hours elicited typical apoptosis morphological changes, including condensed chromation, nuclear fragmentation and reduction of nuclear size and cell volume. There was a statistically difference in HFRPE cells with apoptosis between 200 μmol/L IN+500 μg/L NGF and 200 μmol/LIN groups ( q=3.9204，P=0.0320); there was a significant difference in HFRPE cells with apoptosis in 400 μmol/L IN+500 μg/L NGF and 400 μmol/ L IN as well (q=9.7915，P=0.0001). Conclusion NGF has an protective effect on IN-induced HFRPE cells apoptosis. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2003，19：38-41)
ObjectivesTo systematically review the implementation effects of the full coverage policy for medicines, and to provide evidence for the improvement of National Essential Medicine Policy in China.MethodsWe searched databases including ProQuest, PubMed, CNKI and WanFang Data databases from inception to June 30th 2018 to collect the studies on full coverage policy for medicines. Two reviewers screened literature and extracted related information independently. Then, qualitative analyses were applied to evaluate the impact of the full coverage policy for medicines.ResultsA total of 35 studies on the full coverage policy for medicines were included. Ten studies evaluated the effects of disease control, 12 studies evaluated the impact of the compliance of the patients, 9 studies evaluated the impact on medical expenses and drug costs, 2 studies evaluated the effects of equality, 7 studies evaluated economics, and 11 studies described the improper use and waste of medicines.ConclusionsIn the content of perfecting the selection mechanism and management system, the implementation of the full coverage policy for essential medicines is conducive to promoting equality and accessibility, enhancing drug compliance, improving the diagnosis and treatment of patient diseases ultimately, and making the policy more economical.
