Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of mirabilite and rheum officinale combined with pulse high-volume hemofiltration(PHVHF)in treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP). Methods A total of 11 patients with SAP in Department of Critical Care Medicine of Qiannan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Guizhou Province received the combined treatment of external application of mirabilite,gavage of rheum officinale decoction and PHVHF. The changes in abdominal symptoms,vital signs,blood gas analysis,blood biochemical indicators,and the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation(APACHEⅡ)score,Ranson score and prognosis were observed and compared before and after treatment. Results After treatment,the patients' fever〔body temperature(℃):37.31±0.13 vs. 39.12±0.12〕,tachycardia〔heart rate(beats/min):106±17 vs. 123±22〕, respiratory distress〔respiratory frequency(times/min):23±6 vs. 31±5〕and other symptoms were ameliorated in different degrees,and the APACHE Ⅱ score(9.1±2.2 vs. 21.2±8.2),Ranson score(3.2±1.1 vs. 5.8±1.3)were decreased significantly ,all the above indexes compared before and after treatment being of statistical significant differences(all P<0.05). The indexes of hemodynamics of 10 survival patients were stable,heart rate(beats/min:106±17 vs. 123±22)was decreased,and mean arterial pressure〔MAP,mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa):73±6 vs. 41±5〕was increased gradually(both P<0.05). After treatment,serum amylase〔AMY(U/L):367.3±102.3 vs. 923.5±351.7〕,alanine aminotransferase〔ALT(U/L):63.3±23.2 vs. 201.5±123.2〕,total bilirubin〔TBil (μmol/L):22.1±20.1 vs. 56.1±63.2〕,serum creatinine〔SCr(μmol/L):132.1±23.5 vs. 392.4±12.2〕,urea nitrogen〔BUN(mmol/L):9.5±4.9 vs. 19.2±5.9〕, K+(mmol/L:4.2±0.2 vs. 5.6±2.1) were significantly decreased,arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide〔(PaCO2,mmHg):35.1±7.1 vs. 27.2±5.5〕,arterial partial pressure of oxygen〔PaO2(mmHg):93.2±13.2 vs. 49.1±7.2〕and oxygenation index(mmHg:187.1±28.5 vs. 148.2±32.7),Na+(mmol/L:132.1±19.1 vs. 127.1±42.1)were significantly increased compared with those before treatment, there were statistically significant differences(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion The combined treatment of mirabilite,rheum officinale and PHVHF has significant effects on the treatment of patients with SAP,and it can be one of the assistant therapies of SAP.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effective way for the development of hospital pharmaceutical care. METHODS: We analyzed and summarized the problems appeared in the practical work and the factors influencing pharmaceutical care. RESUL-TS & CONCLUSION: The factors that influence pharmaceutical care mainly consist of policy, idea, specialty and method. Att-aching great importance and having a clear understanding to the above factors is the key to facilitate the successful development of hospital pharmaceutical care.

Objective To study the risk factors of intracranial hemorrhage after endovascular therapy of cere-bral arteriovenous malformations embolization.Methods the clinical records and images of 230 patients with cAVMs were retrospectively reviewed.Patients with intracranial hemorrhage after endovascular therapy in 3 days were recorded and the risk factors of hemorrthage by using multivariate logistic regression for guiding the treatment strategy were studied.Results There were 15 patients occurred intracerebral hemorrhages.After treatment the area of cAVMs was significantly smaller than that before treatment[(2.18 ±0.91)cm vs (6.67 ±1.56)cm],the difference lvas a statis-tically significant (t =9.627,P <0.05).A partial AVM reduction of ≥36.5%(P =0.031)and hypertension(P =0.025)were considered as risk factors for hemorrhage after endovascular therapy of cAVWs.Conclusion Patients receives a partial AVMreduction of ≥36.5% or with hypertension history have a tendancy of increasing hemorrhage after endovascular therapy of cAVMs.It's helpful for preventing intracerebral hemorrhage if the arterial blood pressure maintains after endovascular therapy.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of embolization with Scepter balloonassisted coils and Onyx glue in treatment of traumatic carotid cavernous fistula (TCCF).Methods A retrospective case series study was conducted on the clinical data of 24 patients with TCCF managed with embolization with Scepter balloon-assisted coils and Onyx glue from February 2012 to February 2017.There were 20 males and 4 females,aged 21-65 years [(42.6 ± 6.8) years],with Glasgow coma scale (GCS) of 15 points.All patients were with unilateral lesions,with 13 on the right and 11 on the left.Among TCCF patients,23 patients were with cranial bruit,22 with pulsating exophthalmos and bulbar conjunctiva congestion edema,19 with orbital symptoms,and 9 with visual impairment.A micro-catheter was sent into the cavernous sinus of lesion side,and the location of traumatic carotid cavernous fistula and draining characteristics were identified by micro catheter contrast.With a balloon inflated to cover the fistula and protect the interual carotid artery,Onyx was injected into the cavernous sinus after several coils were deployed adjacent to the fistula until the complete occlusion of fistula.Cranial bruit,pulsating exophthalmos,visual impairment,and orbital symptoms before operation and 2 weeks after operation were observed.Six months after operation,digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was reviewed to evaluate the carotid artery patency and TCCF recurrence.Results The cranial bruit,pulsating exophthalmos,and bulbar conjunctiva congestion edema in all TCCF patients disappeared 2 weeks after operation.No obvious improvement was seen in 2 out of 9 patients with visual impairments and 2 out of 19 patients with orbital symptoms,but there was significant improvement after operation (P ＜ 0.05).Onyx glue adhering to the surface of the protective balloon occurred in one patient.The balloon and catheter were delivered to the external carotid artery and then removed,with no complication seen.Follow-up found no recurrence or operative complications in 6-12 months.Complete occlusion of fistula was seen in all patients,and the internal carotid artery showed good patency.Conclusion Embolization with Scepter balloon-assisted coils and Onyx glue can occlude fistula,eliminate ocular symptoms,and maintain internal carotid artery patency and hence is an effective and safe treatment option for TCCF.

This case report presents an adolescent patient with type 3 pseudotumor associated with vascular hemophilia (von willebrand disease, VWD) of the femur. The patient experienced weakness and pain in the right knee joint for two months following physical activity, with no apparent history of trauma. Genetic testing identified two compound heterozygous mutations in the von willebrand factor (VWF) gene, consistent with a diagnosis of "VWD type 3". Laboratory results revealed a Factor VIII activity of 2.8%, a negative Factor VIII inhibitor test, VWF activity of 1%, and VWF antigen levels below 3%. The desmopressin infusion test (1 hours and 4 hours) showed VWF levels of less than 1%. Imaging studies revealed an osteolytic lesion in the right distal femoral epiphysis, characterized by discontinuous cortical resorption in the anterior femur, thinning of the medial, lateral, and posterior cortex, prominent sclerotic bands, and extension of the tumor into the distal femoral epiphysis without periosteal reaction. After multidisciplinary consultation, the diagnosis of VWD type 3 pseudotumor of the femur was confirmed. The patient had no history of coagulation factor supplementation and no significant knee trauma. Preoperatively, the VWF level was maintained above 80% with cryoprecipitate infusion. The lesion was surgically debrided, followed by bone grafting with autologous fibula and allograft bone. Postoperative follow-up at 5 months showed good recovery of knee function. Pseudotumor is a rare but serious manifestation of inherited bleeding disorders, predominantly observed in hemophiliacs. Skeletal muscle system pseudotumor in VWD is exceptionally rare, with previous reports limited to the maxilla and mandible. MRI is crucial for the diagnosis of hemophilic pseudotumor, with characteristic findings of peripheral enhancement without central enhancement on enhanced scans. Surgery remains the preferred and effective treatment, with adequate perioperative preparation being essential for success. In this case, a multidisciplinary approach was critical in developing a personalized treatment plan, contributing significantly to the patient's positive outcome.
