OBJECTIVE: To standardize and simplify the drug receving and preparing model. METHODS: Reasonable pharamcy inventory parameters were set up based on our experience; second order drug storeroom dynamic inventory system was designed and applied, and the indexes of drug storeroom inventory and workload of the new and the old models were reported and analyzed. RESULTS: The new warning system provided an optimal inventory, and in which the incidences of overstock or stock shortage, the frequency of daily drug receving, drug kinds and the time used with checking stock and filling receipt were all significantly less than in the traditional model. CONCLUSION: Due to the second order drug storeroom dynamic inventory warning system, the drug receiving was more scientific, the drug stock amount was reduced and the drug receiving time was saved, and the mangament level of hospital drug storeroom inventory was enhanced.

Objective:To evaluate the consistency between bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in the measurement of body composition in children and adolescents aged 7-17 years.Methods:Fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) were measured by both BIA and DXA in 1 431 children. The consistency between the methods was evaluated by intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman analysis. Logarithmic transformation of both measurements was performed before Bland-Altman analysis.Results:The ICCs for FFM were 0.986 and 0.974 and ICCs for FM were 0.854 and 0.926 in boys and girls respectively. In boys, the mean ratio of FFMs by BIA and DXA was 1.04, with limits of Agreement (LoA) of 0.95-1.14, and in girls, the mean ratio of FFMs by BIA and DXA was 1.02, with the LoA of 0.90-1.15. The LoA of FFM became narrower with age in both boys and girls. Both boys and girls had the wide LoAs for FM (0.40-1.27 and 0.48-1.48, respectively). Additionally, the LoA ranges for FFM and FM narrowed with the increase of BMI level in both boys and girls.Conclusion:For all children, BIA showed good consistency with DXA for FFM, whereas significant errors occurred in FM measurement. The consistency between BIA and DXA was better for obese children than for underweight or normal-weight children.
