OBJECTIVE:To understand the situation of essential medicines and promote their rational use in our hospital. METHODS:The prescription variety and cost percentages of essential medicines in outpatient department in the two halves years of 2013 in our hospital(eye and ENT specialized hospitals)were compared;the medicines with forefront prescription kind percent-ages in eye and ENT departments were sorted and rankings in 4 quarters were compared. RESULTS:After the approval of the Na-tional Essential Medicine List(2012 edition),compared with the first half year of 2013,prescription variety and cost percentages of essential medicines in outpatient department in the second half year were significantly increased (P<0.01). Prescription variety and cost percentages of essential medicines in eye department in the second half year were significantly increased(P<0.01),in the top 20 prescription variety,totally 2 kinds were contained by the list 2012 edition and 3 were contained by the supplementary list of Shanghai(2012 edition). Compared with the first half year of 2013,prescription variety and cost percentages of essential medi-cines in ENT department in the second half year were significantly decreased(P<0.01),the cost percentage was significantly in-creased(P<0.01),in the top 20 prescription variety,totally 2 kinds were contained by the list 2012 edition and 3 were contained by the supplementary list of Shanghai (2012 edition). CONCLUSIONS:The prescription variety and cost percentages of essential medicines in our hospital show increase trend. Nevertheless,the non-essential medicines are still dominant and further improvement of essential medicines is still needed. Medicine variety and dosage forms of eye in ENT department are insufficient concluded in Es-sential Medicine List. Further adjustment of Essential Medicine List still needs more consideration for the medication characteristics in specialized hospital.

To examine the changes in number and function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) from peripheral blood (PB) in hypertension disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP), 20 women with HDCP and 20 normal pregnant women at the third trimester were studied. Mononuclear cells (MNCs) from PB were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. EPCs were identified by positive expression of both CD34 and CD133 under fluorescence microscope and positive expression of factor VIII as shown by immunocytochemistry. The number of EPCs was flow-cytometrically determined. Proliferation and migration of EPCs were measured by MTT assay and modified Boyden chamber assay, respectively. The adhesion activity of EPCs was detected by counting the number of the adherent cells. The results showed that, compared with normal pregnant women, the number of EPCs was significantly reduced in HDCP (4.29%+/-1.21% vs 15.32%+/-2.00%, P<0.01), the functional activity of EPCs in HDCP, such as proliferation (13.45%+/-1.68% vs 18.45%+/-1.67%), migration (37.25+/-7.28 cells/field vs 67.10+/-9.55 cells/field) and adhesion activity (20.65+/-5.19 cells/field vs 34.40+/-6.72 cells/filed) was impaired (P<0.01). It is concluded that the number and function of EPCs are significantly decreased in HDCP.

Objective To evaluate the reliability and clinical application of measuring blood glucose and urea with electrodes and end reaction methods. Method Using the electrodes and end reaction methods, blood glucose and urea were measured respectively. The results and the relativity between the two methods were compared. Result Comparing the two methods for GLU and UREA, the correlative factors were 0.990 1 and 0.989 1 respectively. They had fairly good comparability. The linear ranges of their regression equations met the clinical needs. With favorable accuracy, the correlative factors were above 0.997 9. Conclusion The electrodes method was rapid and accurate, which was suitable for emergency tests. The ending reaction methods was fairly stable and has less interfering factors, which was fit for the routine use.

Objective To investigate the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Methods The clinical data of 114 200 inpatients from June 2002 to June 2008, including gender, age, smoking history, primary disease and risk factors, were reviewed. Results There were 1445(1.27%) cases with venous thromboembolism (VTE), while 1433(1. 25%) patients suffered from DVT and 153(0. 13%) patients suffered from PTE, 16(11. 11 %) patients were dead of PTE. Of all the DVT patients, there were 1348(94. 1%) cases with DVT of lower limbs with no significant difference between left or right lower limb (P>0. 05). There were 49(3.4%) cases with inferior vena cava, 23(1.6%) cases with cavitas pelvis veins and 13(0. 9%) cases with upper extremity veins. The peak ages of morbidity were between 51 to 60 years. Conclusions The incidence of VTE is increasing with ageing and there is no significant difference between males and females. The most common risk factors for thromboembolism include trauma, surgery, cardiac and pulmonary disease, age over 50 years, deep phlebitis, long-term smoking, cancer, pregnancy, childbirth, braking, history of VTE, etc. We may lower the incidence and mortality of VTE by strengthening prevention work according to the high risk factors.

Objective To evaluate whether three chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations (CKD-EPI2009Scr,CKD-EPI2012SCysC and CKD-EPI2012Scr-SCysC) are applicable in the prediction of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in Chinese patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN).Methods One hundred and eight patients with DN who were hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University with GFR being measured by dynamic renal imaging with 99mTc-DTPA from June 2012 to April 2014 were enrolled in this study.GFR measured by dynamic renal imaging with 99mTe-DTPA was used as the reference value (rGFR).GFR was estimated by the CKD-EPI2009Scr equation,the CKD-EPI2012SCySC equation,and the CKD-EPI2012Scr-SCysC equation (labeled as eGFR1,eGFR2,eGFR3).The correlation,30％ accuracy,staging consistency,deviation and diagnostic accuracy were compared among the three CKD-EPI equations.Results The rGFR in 108 DN patients was (61.78±26.51) ml· min-1· (1.73 m2)-1.The correlation between three eGFRs and rGFR was significant (all P ＜ 0.01),the correlation coefficients were 0.738,0.708,0.782.The 30％ accuracy were 74.07％,52.78％,67.59％,The 30％ accuracy of eGFR1 and eGFR3 were higher than eGFR2 (all P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference between eGFR3 and eGFR1 (x2=0.874,P=0.436).The staging consistency was not ideal,Kappa values were 0.391,0.180 and 0.422.For the deviations between three eGFRs and rGFR,there was no significant difference between eGFR3 and rGFR (P ＞ 0.05),eGFR1 underestimated rGFR,eGFR2 overestimated rGFR (all P ＜ 0.01).The results of the Bland-Altman chart showed that consistencies between three eGFRs and rGFR were poor,the degree of deviation of eGFR3 was the smallest.The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of three eGFRs was 0.878,0.883 and 0.915.The AUC,sensitivity,specificity,overall compliance rate and Youden index of eGFR3 were the highest.Conclusions The eGFRs predicted by the three CKD-EPI equations showed good relevance,accuracy and diagnostic accuracy with the rGFR,but poor in consistencies.Comparatively,CKD-EPI2012Scr-SCysC may be better than others,but its consistency limits exceeds the acceptable limits.Therefore,the applicability of using the three CKD-EPI equations to predict the GFR in Chinese DN patients requires a larger sample and multiple verifications as well as further improvement.
