OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of clinical pharmacists in the treatment of high paraplegia patient with hospital acquired pneumonia. METHODS:Clinical pharmacists provided suggestions for anti-infective treatment failure of a high paraplegia patient with hospital acquired pneumonia,including anti-infective treatment of imipenem and cilastatin sodi-um 1.0 g,ivgtt,qid,de-escalation anti-infective treatment of cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium 3.0 g,ivgtt,bid+amikacin 0.4 g,ivgtt,bid,and prevention treatment of fluconazole sodium chloride 0.2 g,ivgtt,qd against potential invasive infections with fungi,etc.,assisted physician to improve therapy plan,monitor ADR and guide rational drug use. RE-SULTS:After 3 weeks of treatment,the symptoms had been improved significantly. CONCLUSIONS:Clinical pharmacists provide individual pharmaceutical care to reduce ADR during treatment and improve the effectiveness and safety of clinical treatment.

The Strem-1 is a member of the immunoglobulin family,which is recently found to be closely associated with the inflammatory and a sensitive marker of the inflammatory response.Many pathogenic microorganisms infection can make sTREM-1 highly expressed,it is involved in the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors by the role of TOLL receptors,and played an important role in the development of sepsis.It is a more sensitive and reliable indicator in the diagnosis and monitoring of sepsis in recent years.It is necessary to study the characteristics and role of sTREM-1 in the development of sepsis,and it has important significance in preventing the occurrence of sepsis and reasonable treatment or prognosis evaluation.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO) on axon degeneration.(Methods: Cultured) rat superior cervical ganglia were treated with DMSO(100%,10 ?l) per well to disconnect axons from the cell bodies.SCGs in DMSO control group were treated with a mixture of DMSO(10 ?l) and medium (2 ml) per well;in positive control group were transfected with herpes simplex virus over-expressing Wld~S protein and the cell body was eliminated;and in blank control group were treated with 10 ?l PBS.The separated axons were fixed with 4% poly formaldehyde at 0,4,8,12 and 24 h after treatment with DMSO for immunostaining with specific antibody to microtubulin.Thus,the changes of axonal structure were investigated.The axonal protein was collected and the degeneration of neurofilament was detected by Western Blotting.Results: In DMSO disconnected group,the axonal morphology and structure showed no obvious change at 12 h post disconnection,but slight degeneration was observed at 24 h post disconnection.The degradation of microtubulin was obviously slowed down and their axonal structures maintained intact 12 h later.The neurofilament could be detected 12 h after disconnection.The above changes in disconnected group were similar to those in positive control group.No obvious protective effects on axonal degeneration were observed in blank and DMSO control groups.Conclusion: Local high concentration of DMSO can delay axonal degeneration,which indicates that DMSO can be used for adjuvant treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of the intra-cronary interventional techniquein the treatment of coronary heart disease. Methods The 110 patients with coronary heart disease weretreated with 63 balloon angioplasties and 47 coronary-stent implantations. Results The ballloon angioplasty was made in 94 coronary lesion arteries with success of 88 vessels. In the following up periods of2-72 months, the angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction were occurred respectively in 11 and2 cases (24.07 % ). The 63 stems were implanted into 59 coronary lesion arteries with success of 58 vessels. All patients were followed up for 2~12 months and the angina pectoris were occurred in 6 cases(13.3 % ). Conclusion The intracoronary intervetional technique was an effective method for treatmentof the coronary heart disease.

Objective: To determine the changes of upper airway morphology induced by mandible position from central relation to advancement position in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Methods: Nineteen patients (17 males and 2 females) suffering from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome were confirmed with polysomnography. Occlusal wax record was made with mandible in advancement position. Helical computed tomography was performed on each patient in central relation and mandibular advancement position with wax record in situ respectively. On each slice, anteroposterior and transverse diameters were obtained. Airway shape was expressed as the anteroposterior/transverse (AP/T) diameter ratio. Paired samples t test was employed to compare the measurements. Results: With mandibular advancement, average and minimal diameters of glossopharynx and hypopharynx were increased significantly. Compared with it, the change of transverse diameter was more prominent. All segments of upper airway were increased significantly except hypophaynx laterally. Moreover, the change of velopharynx shape was observed on axial planes. Ellipse with transversal long axis became more compressed. Conclusion: Upper airway morphology of all segments was influenced by mandibular advancement whether in the sagittal or transverse plane of space, or airway shape. Not only anatomic connection but also regulation of the nerve system and other still unknown mechanism make contribution to the changes of upper airway morphology in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The changes of upper airway morphology above mentioned constitute the rationale of treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome with oral appliances.

Objective To study the different extraction condition on naringin content in Drynaria extract.Methods The Naringin content in Drynaria extract was determined by HPLC.The e ffect of extraction solutions,drying temperature(60℃,100℃and 120℃)and drying time (0,0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0,5.0,10.0,25.0,50.0hours respectively)on naringin content in Drynaria extract was investigated.Results The optimal extraction solution for Drynaria extract was water,and the loss of naringin enhan ced with the increase of drying temperature and the prolongation of dryin g time.Con-clusion The result can provide references fo r the extraction technology,preparation selection and quality control of the compound including Rhizoma Drynariae.

Objective To establish an ICP-MS method for the determination of heavy metals,including copper(Cu),arsenium(As),cadmium(Cd) and plumbum(Pb),in five kinds of Chinese medicinal material.Methods The samples were digested by closed-vessel microwave.The four heavy metals were directly analyzed by ICP-MS,with elements 72Ge,115In,and 209Bi as the internal standards.Results For all of the analyzed heavy metals,the correlative coefficient of the calibration curves was in the range of 0.999 5～ 0.999 7.The recovery rates were in the range of 92.3 % ～ 108.0 %,and RSD were in the range of 2.4 % ～ 5.8 %.Conclusion The method is convenient,rapid,accurate and can be applied to determine four heavy metals,including Cu,As,Cd and Pb,in Chinese medicinal material.

?Acute retinal necrosis syndrome ( ARN) is a serious eye disease, which caused by Herpes virus mostly, with unknown pathogenesis. Because of the aggressive progression, treatment of ARN is difficult, and the blindness rate is extremely high. Current treatment strategies are the combination of the drug therapy and the operative treatment. Drugs commonly used are antiviral drugs, glucocorticoids, and antiplatelet drugs, and the operative treatment includes laser photocoagulation and vitrectomy.
