OBJECTIVE: To investigate the status quo and feature of the distribution rationality of licensed pharmacists in different regions in China in recent 2 years.METHODS: Using "per capita licensed pharmacists every ten thousand people" as index to contrast and analyze the distribution of licensed pharmacists.SPSS13.0 statistical analysis software was used to calculate the distribution Tail index(TI) of licensed pharmacists in the east,middle,and west regions of China taking population and GDP as weight.RESULTS: The distribution of licensed pharmacists in the east region in China was more intensive;TI was far greater when using population as weight than using GDP as weight,and all TI decreased in the past 2 years.CONCLUSIONS: The licensed pharmacists should be distributed rationally according to the practical demand on pharmaceutical care,and the government should intensify the education and training of licensed pharmacists in the middle and west regions of China.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the status quo and the feature of licensed pharmacists in Hubei province to provide experimental reference and policy bases for the concerned governmental department in making decision about management regulations. METHODS: 486 licensed pharmacists who came to attend the continuing education were investigated by questionnaire survey and personal interview regarding their essential information, social approval, and attitude towards their profession etc. RESULTS: The obtained essential information of the licensed pharmacists in Hubei province revealed that the majority of them regarded that they failed to bring their role in into full play in their daily work and their social approval degree was low; as for attitude towards their profession, most of the interviewees responded that the evolvement of policy is the important factor to bring into the role of licensed pharmacists into full play, meanwhile they thought highly of the active role of continuing education. Different type of licensed pharmacists have different needs, to satisfy the diversified needs, a pertinent study is needed. CONCLUSION: The government should establish licensed pharmacists law as soon as possible to identify the legal position of licensed pharmacists and solve their orientation problem so as to bring their role into full play.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of comprehensive rehabilitation therapy and simple rehabilitation therapy on old acute stroke patients.Methods72 old acute stroke patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: the simple rehabilitation group (n=32) treated with Bobath therapy only, the comprehensive rehabilitation group (n=40) added with acupuncture and Chinese herbs besides Bobath therapy. The courses of two groups were all 6 weeks. The scores of NIHSS (The US NIK Stroke Scale) and activities of daily living (ADL) of patients of two groups were assessed every week.ResultsAfter 3 weeks, scores of NIHSS and ADL of patients in both groups improved, but there were no significant differences between two groups and in each group compared with before. After 6 weeks, there were significant differences in the simple rehabilitation group (P<0.05) and in the comprehensive rehabilitation group (P<0.01), but there was no difference between two groups.ConclusionComprehensive rehabilitation therapy and simple rehabilitation therapy are also effect on old acute stroke patients; there isn't difference on effects of two therapies.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the efficacy of mecobalamin,ganglioside,mixture of calcium and magne-sium,reduced glutathione,mixture of calcium and magnesium combined with reduced glutathione in the prevention of chronic neu-rotoxicity induced by oxaliplatin, and to provide evidence-based reference for clinic treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,clinicltrials.gov and CJFD,randomized controlled trials (RCT) about efficacy of 5 interventions in the prevention of chronic neurotoxicity induced by oxaliplatin were collected,and network Meta-analysis were performed by using ADDIS 1.16.5 af-ter extracting data and evaluating quality. RESULTS:A total of 34 studies were included,involving 3 236 patients. 4 studies were three-arm studies,30 studies were two-arm studies,totally 42 arms. Compared with placebo,the incidence of CIPN by 5 interven-tions was significantly reduced. Mixture of calcium and magnesium combined with reduced glutathione was the most effective and the followed by mecobalamin,reduced glutathione,ganglioside and mixture of calcium and magnesium,however,there were no significant differences among 5 interventions(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:5 kinds of interventions are all effective in the preven-tion of chronic neurotoxicity induced by oxaliplatin. Mixture of calcium and magnesium combined with reduced glutathione is the most effective. Duo to the low quality of included studies,large-scale and high quality RCTs are required for further validation of the conclusions.

Objectives To investigate the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and risk factors in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods The biochemical indices, blood pressure and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in pa-tients with CKD were retrospectively analyzed. The risk factors of LVH were analyzed using Logistic regression. Results In 125 CKD patients, 32.00%were at 4th stage and 68.00%were at 5th stage. The estimate glomerular ifltration rate (eGFR) and hemo-globin (Hb) level were signiifcantly higher in CKD patients at 4th stage than in those at 5th stage. The intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), serum phosphorus and LVMI were signiifcantly lower in CKD patients at 4th stage than in those at 5th stage (P<0.01). LVH was detected in 33.60%CKD patients. The eGFR and Hb level were signiifcantly lower in CKD patients with LVH than in those without LVH. The iPTH, serum phosphorus, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were signiifcantly higher in CKD patients with LVH than in those without LVH (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that only hypertension, hyperphosphatemia, moderate and severe anemia were the risk factors of LVH. Conclusion Control of hypertension, hyperphos-phatemia and anemia is the key to prevent LVH in CKD patients.

Objective To investigate the role of chemokine ligand 21 (CCL21) in the spinal cord in tibia bone cancer pain (BCP) in rats.Methods Forty adult female SD rats weighing 160-180 g were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=8 each):sham operation group (group Ⅰ ); sham operation + CCL21 neutralizing antibody group (groupⅡ); BCP group (group [); BCP + PBS group (group Ⅳ); BCP + control IgG group (groupⅤ)and BCP + CCL21 neutralizing antibody group (group Ⅵ).BCP was induced by inoculating Walker-256 mammary gland carcinoma cells into the rat tibia medullary cavity in groups Ⅲ-Ⅵ.PBS 15 μl,IgG 10 μg and CCL21 neutralizing antibody 10 μg were injected intrathecally (IT) at 14 days after intra-tibial injection of Walker-256 mammary gland cancer cells in groups Ⅳ- Ⅵ respectively.Mechanical withdrawal threshold to yon Frey filament stimulation (MWT) was measured at 1 day before (To,baseline) ; 7 and 14 d after Walker-256 cell injection (T1,T2)and at 0.5,1,2,4,8,12,24 and 48 h after intrathecal injection (T3-10 ).Results Intra-tibial injection of Walker-256 mammary gland cancer cells significantly decreased MWT as compared with the baseline values in administration of CCL21 neutralizing antibody at T5-8 as compared with MWT before intrathecal administration at T2 in group Ⅵ.MWT was significantly lower in groups Ⅲ- Ⅳ than in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ.MWT was significantly higher at T5-8 in group Ⅵ than in groups Ⅲ - Ⅴ.Conclu]sion CCL21 in the spinal cord is involved in the maintenance of tibia BCP in rats.

Objective To investigate effects of intrathecal methotrexate on mechanical allodynia in rats with tibial bone cancer pain.Methods Forty-eight female SD rats weighing 150-180 g were randomly divided into 6 groups ( n =8 each):group Ⅰ sham operation + artificial cerebrospinal fluid(SA group),group Ⅱ sham operation + methotrexate 200 μg(SM group),group Ⅲ bone cancer pain + artificial cerebrospinal fluid(CA group),group Ⅳ-Ⅵ bone cancer pain + different doses of methotrexate (CM1-3 groups).The model of tibial bone cancer pain was induced by injecting Walker-256 cell into the tibial marrow cavity.CA and CM1-3 groups were intrathecal injected artificial cerebrospinal fluid,methotrexate 50,100 and 200 μg.SA and SM200 groups were intrathecal injected artificial cerebrospinal fluid and methotrexate 200 μg.The mechanical withdrawl threshold (MWT) was measured at day 1 before Walker-256 injection (baseline),7 day after injection (T0 ) and 2,4,8,24 hour and 1,3,5,7 days after intrathecal injection ( T1-8 ).Results Compered with the baseline,MWT was decrease in CA and CM1-s groups.Competed with To,MWT was decreased at T5-8 in CA group,MWT was increased at T3-5 in CM1 group,at T2-6 in CM2 group and at T2-7 in CM3 groups.MWT was decrease in CA and CM1-3 groups as compered with SA group; MWT was increased at T4-7 in CM1 group and at T3-7 in CM2 and CM3 groups.Conclusion Intrathecal injection of methotrexate can reduce tibial bone cancer pain in rats.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus medication and kinesiotherapy in treating cerebral stroke.Method A total of 126 patients with cerebral stroke were randomized into a treatment group of 42 cases, control group 1 of 40 cases and control group 2 of 44 cases. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture, Chinese medication plus kinesiotherapy, control group 1 by acupuncture alone and control group 2 by kinesiotherapy alone. Before the intervention and respectively after 2-week and 4-week treatment, the three groups were observed by adopting the modified Barthel Index (MBI) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), as well as the Activities of Daily Living (ADL).Result After the treatment, the MBI score, FMA score and ADL grading were significantly changed in the three groups (P<0.01). After 4-week treatment, the MBI score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in control group 2 (P<0.05). After 4-week treatment, the FMA score and ADL grading in the treatment group were significantly different from those in both control group 1 and 2 (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture plus medication and kinesiotherapy is an effective approach in treating cerebral stroke and it can improve the ADL.
