OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of evaluation method on management of prescription. METHODS:A total of 24 000 prescriptions of 12 months were evaluated with both method 1 devised by our hospital and method 2 specified in ordinance of Management of prescription. The administration department intervened physicians’ prescription behaviors according to the evaluation results. The change of data in method 1 was compared with that in method 2. RESULTS: In method 1,the problems of usage and dosage increased a little while other irrational problems lessened largely. In method 2,the average amount of drug categories reduced a little while the other data increased a little. CONCLUSION: The effect of evaluation and intervention in method 1 are superior to those in method 2.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of clinical pharmacists in the therapy for acute exacerbation of chronic obstruc-tive pulmonary diseases (AECOPD) complicated with pulmonary infection. METHODS:Clinical pharmacists participated in the therapy for a case of acute exacerbation of AECOPD complicated with pulmonary infection. According to the patients’signs,assis-tant examination and disease condition,clinical pharmacists provided suggestions,i.e. Piperacillin sodium and sulbactam sodium for injection (4∶1) 5.0 g,ivgtt,q12 h,for anti-infective treatment;Bisacodyl enteric-coated tablet 5 mg,po,qd,for promoting defecation;Clostridium butyricum viable bacteria tablet 20 mg,po,tid,for regulating gastrointestinal flora;Pinaverium bromide tablet 50 mg,po,tid,for regulating gastrointestinal smooth muscle tension;Shexiang baoxin pills 22.5 mg,po,tid,instead of flu-id infusion for protecting heart,and isosorbide 5-mononitrate 20 mg,po,tid,for preventing angina pectoris;Cefminox capsule 100 mg,po,tid,for anti-infective treatment;fluconazol 0.4 g,ivgtt,qd,for antifungal treatment,and Bacillus licheniformis 500 mg,po, tid,for preventing alteration of intestinal flora. RESULTS:The physicians adopted clinical pharmacist’s suggestions. No ADR was found during treatment,and the patients transferred to ordinary ward after the disease condition had been controlled. CONCLU-SIONS:The participating of clinical pharmacists in pharmaceutical care can promote rational drug use in the clinic and guarantee the safety of drug use.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the factors that influence the progression-free survival time (PFS) of patients with non-squamous cell carcinoma type non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after first chemotherapy, and to provide reference for the formulation of clinical individual treatment regimen. METHODS: Clinical information of 84 patients with non-squamous cell carcinoma type NSCLC after first chemotherapy were selected from our hospital during Jan. 2012-Dec. 2014. The effects of patient's factors [gender, age, performance status (PS) score], disease factors [tumor staging, tumor marker (TM) level] and treatment factors (chemotherapy regimen and treatment course, chemotherapy efficacy) on PFS were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for 11. 933 months averagely (final follow-up time of Jun. 30th, 2017), and their median PFS was 4. 017 months. The median PFS of male was slightly shorter than that of female; the median PFS of patients aged more than 65 year-old was slightly shorter than that of patients aged below 65 year-old; the median PFS of patients with PS score of 0-1 was slightly longer than that of patients with PS score of 2-4, without statistical significance (P>0. 05). The median PFS of Ⅱ -Ⅲ stage patients was significantly longer than that of Ⅳ stage patients; the median PFS of patients with at least one TM index was 10 times higher than the upper limit of the normal value was significantly shorter than that of patients with four TM indexes were all 10 times lower than the upper limit of the normal value; the median PFS of patients underwent 1-3 treatment courses was significantly shorter than that of patients underwent 4-6 treatment courses; the median PFS of patients with progressive disease efficacy was significantly shorter than that of patients with stable disease efficacy or above, with statistical significance (P<0. 05). Among 84 patients, 81 patients selected PP regimen (pemetrexed disodium+platinum), and other patients chose non-PP regimen. Due to the large difference in the number of cases, the effect of the chemotherapy regimen on the patient' s PFS was not investigated. CONCLUSIONS: The disease factor and treatment factor of patients may be associated with PFS. Tumor staging, at least one TM index was 10 times higher than the upper limit of the normal value, the number of completed chemotherapy treatment course, chemotherapy efficacy are independent influential factors of PFS in patients with non-squamous cell carcinoma type NSCLC.

Alzheimer's disease(AD) is an irreversible neurodegenerative disease with clinical manifestations such as memory impairment, aphasia, impaired visuospatial skills, executive function impairment, and personality changes. AD has brought a heavy burden to the family and society due to its unrevealed pathogenesis and the lack of therapeutic approaches. Saponins, a group of oligoglycosides whose aglycones are triterpenes or spirosteroids, are divided into triterpene saponins and steroidal saponins, which have a variety of biological activities. At present, there is no systematic review on the anti-AD effect of saponins. According to the literature published in recent years, the authors summarized the studies of saponins in improving AD based on animal experiments. The results indicated that saponins enhanced learning ability and improved cognitive impairment by inhibiting amyloid β-protein (Aβ) cascade activity, suppressing microtubule-associated protein (tau) hyperphosphorylation, inhibiting neuronal oxidative stress, inhibiting inflammatory factors, regulating apoptosis, inhibiting cholinergic neuronal degeneration, promoting mitochondrial autophagy, regulating intestinal flora, and enhancing energy metabolism, which in turn improved the pathological state of AD animal models. The therapeutic effects of different saponins on AD are different. The present study discussed the effect of different aglycones and sugar chains on the anti-AD activity based on saponins and anti-AD effect to provide new ideas and a theoretical basis for the development and utilization of saponins.
