China Pharmacy 2015;(23):3292-3293
OBJECTIVE:To explore the significance of clinical pharmacists providing pharmaceutical care for pregnant patients with asthma in respiratory department. METHODS:Clinical pharmacists participated in the analysis of 2 cases of pregnancy complicating with asthma and applied pharmaceutical suggestion and therapy plan as penicillin anti-infective thera-py,intravenous dripping of magnesium sulfate combined with doxofylline,albuterol aerosol treatment instead. RESULTS:The asthma symptom had been relieved significantly and then the patients were discharged from the hospital after clinical phar-macists disposed the symptom appropriately. CONCLUSIONS:The participation of clinical pharmacists in pharmaceutical care for pregnant patients with asthma in respiratory department. Can improve the prognosis effectively and guarantee the safety of drug use.

Methods:27 patients with grades Ⅲ and Ⅳ NSCLC(10 naive cases,17 retreated chemotherapy cases received Gemcitabine 1 250 mg/m 2 ,iv drip d 1.8,and carboplatin 300 mg/m 2 in the first day. Results:There were 6 CR+PR cases in naive patients,the overall response rate(OR)was 60.0%,iv drip 7 of retreated chemotherapy cases were CR+PR,the OR was 41.2%. The OR of both group patients was 44.4%.The main toxic side-effects of the patients were marrow-suppression. Conclusions:The combination chemotherapy of gemcitabine plus carboplatin was effective for advanced NSCLC and the toxicities were well tolerated.

【Objective】To observe the dynamic interference of cellular endotoxin specific receptors of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) mRNA and nuclear factor ?B p65(NF-?B p65) in rats with damp-heat syndrome of seasonal febrile disease by Ganlu Xiaodu Dan(GXD),and to explore the therapeutic mechanism of prescriptions with the actions of clearing heat and resolving dampness.【Methods】Wistar rats were randomized into 3 groups: A(normal control),B(models established by feeding of high-fat diet and colon bacillus under the high-temperature and high-humidity condition),and C(rat models treated with GXD).Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) analysis was used to detect the TLR4 mRNA level in hepatic macrophages and immunohistochemical method was used to detect the activation of NF-?B p65.【Results】The expression of TLR4 mRNA and NF-?B p65 was increased gradually in group B 6,12 and 24 hours after infection with colon bacillus,and the differences were significant,indicating that the expression of TLR4 mRNA and NF-?B p65 increased with the prolongation of disease course.In group C,TLR4 mRNA expression was decreased in different time points after infection,the difference of TLR4 mRNA expression 12 and 24 hours after infection was significant as compared with group B and group A(P

Purpose To explore the clinicopathological features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of primary leiomyosarcoma of bone and to study its therapy and prognosis. Methods Histopathologic features, immunohistochemical stains and iconography of five cases were analyzed and the related literatures were reviewed. Results The patients consisted of two males and three females with ages ran-ging from 46 to 72 years, who average 58 years. Clinically, most cases presented as pain reaction, of which two cases were located a-round the knee joint, one case was in the upper femur, one case was in the sacrum and another was in the upper jaw. Microscopically, tumor cells were composed of spindle shaped cells, with some epitheloid variants. Immunohistochemically, all the tumor cells were pos-itive for smooth muscle actin and vimentin, and the expression of desmin was found in two cases. But S-100 protein, MyoD1 and CD68 were negative. Conclusions Primary leiomyosarcoma of bone is relatively rare, and clinical symptoms and imaging findings are not specific. The diagnosis depends on immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy.

Objective To reasonably provide data basis of the expense standard for diagnosis related groups(DRGs)of respiratory system disease.Methods Use the first-page data of the medical records of 19,285 respiratory inpatients of a hospital.Use the Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector in the decision tree model to establish the inpatient case mix plan of respiratory disease inpatients.Then evaluate the model effectiveness with the variance reduction Results Expense median of the respiratory disease inpatients is 1603.97 yuan,averaging 2806.03 yuan,and the discretion degree is high.Proportion of surgical operations in respiratory disease is 3.89%,less than the others.Age is an important factor of respiratory disease for their hospitalization costs.Classification nodes of respiratory diseases are in turn the first discharge diagnosis,age,and secondary diagnosis.Patients were divided into 5 categories and 29 disease diagnosis related groups by such nodes.Conclusion Appropriate discharge diagnosis is the basis for building diagnosis related groups.Such variables as disease severity related variables as age and secondary diagnosis should serve as classification variables for respiratory system diseases.

Objective To explore the mechanism of endotoxemic injury in kidneys and protective effect of dexamethasone on renal cells.Methods Fifty-four eighteen-day Wistar rats were divided into control,endotoxemic(LPS)and dexamethasone groups randomly,18 rats in every group.Rats in control group were injected intraperitoneally with the same volume(0.1 mL)of 9 g/L sodium chloride as other two groups.All rats in LPS group were injected with a single bolus of LPS(4 mg/kg).The rats in dexamethasone group received LPS(4 mg/kg)and dexamethasone(5 mg/kg).Then they were sacrificed at 6,24 and 72 hours after injection.The ultrastructure was observed by electron microscope.Results In LPS group,glomerular basement membrane became thick and foot processes had coalescent partly,mitochondrial cristae became dissolved in proximal tubular endothelial cells and microvillus of distal tubular diminished at 6,24 hours after LPS injection.The morphological changes of apoptosis were found in the proximal tubular at 72 hours after LPS injection.These changes were in dexamethasone group.Conclusion Apoptosis participates in LPS injury of kidneys and dexamethasone have protective effect on injuried renal cells.

Objective To investigate the relationship between TNF-α, IFN-γand intestinal muco-sal permeability in a mouse colitis model and its inhibiting effect by balsalazide. Methods Forty-five C57BL/6J mice were divided randomly into five groups. Normal group was only fed with distilled water, DSS group and balsalazide groups at doses of 42, 141,423 mg/kg were both fed with 5% DSS. Balsalazide was given by intragastric administration. At the end of the experiment, colon tissue was collected for assessment of histological index(HI) and the MPO activity. Small intestinal mucosa was collected for assessment of the content of TNF-α and IFN-γ,transmission electron microscope(TEM), and detection of permeability by Ev-arts blue method. Results Compared with normal group, DSS group mice all manifested severe weight loss associated with hematocbezia and diarrhea, HI score, and the colon MPO activity and the content of TNF-α and IFN-γ were increased significantly. Intestinal mucosa showed a thinning of microvillous carpet, with de-curtated and broaden junctional complex and enlarged intercollutar space under TEM observations. The amount of Evans blue permeated into intestinal wall was obvious. Compared with DSS group, the HI score, the MPO activity and the content of TNF-α and IFN-γ were decreased by balsalazide. The amount of Evans blue permeated into intestinal wall was less. Ileal microvillous carpet was ameliorated dose dependently by balsalazide. Conclusion In DSS-induced colitis model, the change of the content of the TNF-α and IFN-γ, was accordance with the increase of intestinal mucosal permeability while balsalazide can significantly amelio-rate intestinal mucosal permeability by its anti-colitis effect.
