Objective To investigate the drug utilization of hospitalized children in psychiatric hospital and analyze its the rationality.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to survey the utilization of psychotropic drugs in hospitalized children between January 2016 and June 2016,and according to drug instruction,its the rational-ity was analyzed.Results The top three used psychotropic drugs were aripiprazole,sertraline and sodium valproic sustained -release tablets.The types of drugs without safety data were at most and most frequently used.Diagnosis was not consistent with indications for totally 12 kinds of drugs,aripiprazole involved the most cases.A total of 5 drugs existed usage not matching drug instruction,and sodium valproic sustained -release tablets accounted for the most. Conclusion Irrational use of drugs in psychiatric hospital is still common at present.Clinical pharmacists can improve rationality of drug utilization of hospitalized children in psychiatric hospital by creating a drug database and carrying out pharmaceutical care.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Kechuanning capsules for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in stable phase.Methods Totally 110 patients with stable COPD were randomly divided into the therapy group and the control group, 55 cases in each group. Patients in both groups were given ipratropium bromide solution for inhalation. On the basis of western medicine treatment, the therapy group took Kechuanning capsules orally at the same time, 4 softgels for each time, 3 times a day;on the basis of western medicine treatment, the control group took the same amount of placebo capsules. The treatment lasted three months. Meanwhile, the clinical efficacy, BODE index, CAT score and ADRs of patients in the two groups were observed.Results The clinical efficacy in the therapy group was 96.00% (48/50), and 88.24% (45/51) in the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). BODE index and CAT score in the two groups decreased and the therapy group was lower than the control group (P<0.05). Liver and kidney function had no obvious abnormalities in the treatment group before and after treatment.Conclusion Kechuanning capsules can effectively reduce the BODE index and CAT score in patients with stable COPD, improve patients' life quality and clinical outcomes, and no obvious side effect has been found.

Objective To observe the effects of Kechuanning capsules on airway inflammation cells and inflammatory mediators in patients with COPD.Methods Totally 110 patients with stable COPD were randomly divided into therapy group and control group, 55 cases in each group. Both of the groups were given compound ipratropium bromide solution for inhalation, at the same time, patients in the therapy group took Kechuanning capsules orally, 4 softgels each time, 3 times a day, and patients in the control group took the same amount of placebo capsules. The treatment lasted three months. Differential counting of inflammatory cells and levels of inflammatory factors in serum and sputum supernatant were observed.Results In terms of differential counting of inflammatory cells, the sputum neutrophils of the therapy group decreased significantly (P<0.05) and macrophages increased (P<0.05) after treatment, with statistical significance compared with the control group (P<0.05). In terms of inflammatory mediators, the levels of IL-6, IL-8, LTB4 in serum did not change significantly (P>0.05) in two groups before and after treatment;IL-6, IL-8, LTB4 levels in the sputum supernatant of the therapy group were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), with statistical significance compared with the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Kechuanning capsules have an obvious inhibitory effect on airway inflammatory cells in patients with stable COPD as well as the release of inflammatory mediators.

OBJECTIVEIn order to accurately reconstruct the acoustic source image, the application of transducer's receiving characteristics in magneto-acoustic tomography with magnetic induction (MAT-MI) is studied.
METHODSThe conductivity phantom model is built, and the magnetic acoustic signals are simulated and the acoustic sources are reconstructed according to the transducer's receiving characteristics.
RESULTSThe reconstructed image of acoustic source is consistent with the topographic shape and size of the phantom model.
CONCLUSIONMAT-MI based on the transducer's characteristics lays the foundation for further study.

Objective To analyze sonographic imagings of traumatic neuromas of peripheral nerves,and to investigate the applied values of uhrasonography in the traumatic neuroma of peripheral nerve. Methods The sonographic imagings of 38 patients who had evidences of traumatic neuromas in peripheral nerves were retrospectively reviewed by the last diagnostic results of operations. Results Among 38 cases, 2 incomplete traumatic neuromas were not detected, and 1 incomplete traumatic neuroma was misdiagnosised as neurilemoma by ultrasonography. The coincidence of uitrasonography in incomplete traumatic neuroma and complete severed neuroma was 82.4% and 100%. With regard to the echogenicity of 38 traumatic neuromas of peripheral nerves, the sonographic characteristics of neuromas were all hypoechoic. Thirty-three neuromas appearanced like shuttles and 5 neuromas appearaneed like humps. Conclusions The traumatic neuroma has distinctive ultrasonic appearance. Ultrasonography is useful to direct the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic neuroma.
