1.Application of population pharmacokinetics in the rational usage of immunosuppressive drugs
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2010;26(2):159-163
Population pharmacokinetics(PPK),which is based on the principle of statistics,can be used to estimate various inter- and intra-individual factors which affect pharmacokinetics.By using Bayesian estimator,PPK can predict individual pharmacokinetic parameters accurately.PPK is widely used in the immunosuppressive therapy with cyclosporine,tacrolimus,mycophenolic acid and sirolimus.
2.Investigation and Feasibility Analysis of Pharmacy Trusteeship in Some Shanghai Medical Institutions
China Pharmacist 2015;(3):446-448
Objective:To explore the feasibility of pharmacy trusteeship in Shanghai medical institutions to provide useful informa-tion for the reform of medicine without added profit and pharmacy transition to clinical pharmacy. Methods: On-site investigation of seven hospitals and one famous drug retail company in Shanghai was performed combined with the communication with relative person-nel and non-random sampling questionnaire survey on the staff of pharmacy. Statwing software was used in the statistical analysis of the data. Results: A total of 93 valid questionnaires in the study were taken back. Although one hospital has achieved great progress in pharmacy trusteeship, most of respondents had negative attitudes and the common thought was that pharmacy trusteeship did more harm than good to the development of clinical pharmacy at present. Conclusion: As a consequence of drug zero interest policy and clinical pharmacy development, pharmacy trusteeship should be explored and attempted. The duties and responsibilities of all parts in pharma-cy trusteeship should be definite in law in order to standardize drug retail market and protect the interests of patient.
3.The determination of parathyroid hormone in the chronic renal failure and its clinical significances
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(07):-
The secondary hyperparathyroidism is one of the complications of chronic renal failure (CRF) and end stage renal failure (ESRD), and becomes more serious with the development of the primary disease. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is considered as one of the biomarks of the development of renal failure. The purpose of this article will expound the physiological effects of the PTH, the causes and clinical significances of PTH rising in CRF and ESRD patients, the determination of PTH level, and the relationships between the increase of PTH and the polymorphism of CYP2D6, GSTT1,GSTM1.

AIM To establish an allele specific PCR amplification (ASA-PCR) for determination of the genotype of CYP2D6*10B polymorphism in Chinese subjects. METHODS CYP2D6*10B alleles of 65 healthy Chinese subjects were analyzed by a two-step PCR assay and the correlation of genotype and phenotype was studied. RESULTS There were 20 CYP2D6*10B heterozygous genotypes subjects (wt/m) in 35 very extensive metabolizers (VEMs), which consisted the major part of VEM subjects (57%). Meanwhile, 20 subjects consisting 69% of 29 intermediate metabolizers were CYP2D6*10B homozygous mutant genotypes (m/m). The poor metabolizer was also m/m. The metabolic ratio of CYP2D6*10B m/m subjects were larger than wt/m and wild type, the values were -1.49±0.54, -2.20±0.49 and -2.47±0.61 (P<0.01). CONCLUSION PCR-ASA was shown to be a rapid and specific method. It can be used to study the genetic polymorphism, especially CYP2D6 intermediate metabolism.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the cognition of clinical pharmacists on the clinical pharmacy practice and their profes-sion,and provide reference for further developing clinical pharmacy practice. METHODS:A questionnaire was designed,and ran-dom sample was conducted for the clinical pharmacists from 30 secondary and tertiary hospitals in Shanghai,and the investigation results were analyzed statistically. RESULTS:Totally 130 questionnaires were sent out,and 102 were effectively received with valid response rate of 78.46%. 94.11% of the investigated subjects were willing to be a clinical pharmacist,but 17.65% of them consid-ered that they were incompetent for their work;29.41% of them thought the current situation of clinical pharmacy practice was not ideal;all the respondents considered that the clinical pharmacist system should be implemented in medical and health institu-tions;the cognition and evaluation of investigated subjects in tertiary hospitals on clinical pharmacy practice and their profession was generally higher than those in secondary hospitals(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The clinical pharmacists in medical and health institutions in Shanghai showed high cognition on their profession,and the clinical pharmacy practice has already made some achievements,but many work still need to be improved. Therefore,clinical pharmacists should continuously study their profession-al knowledge and improve their professional skills and quality;hospitals and universities should strengthen the subject construction and personnel training of clinical pharmacy and deeply carry out the clinical pharmacist system;health administration departments should strengthen the related laws and regulations of clinical pharmacy;colleges and universities should strengthen the discipline construction and personnel training.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of quantitation of TGF-?1 mRNA of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) in type 2 diabetic patients at different stages of nephropathy (DN). Methods TGF-?1 mRNA transcription in PBMC was analyzed quantitatively by RT-PCR and dot blot in 93 cases of type 2 diabetic patients and 35 normal controls. Correlation of TGF-?1 mRNA in PBMC with 24 hours urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) was also analysed. Results TGF-?1 mRNA level of PBMC in type 2 diabetic patients was significantly higher than that in normal controls (1.56?1.00 vs 1.03?0.25, P

Objective To observe the dynamic changes in collagen type Ⅰ and collagen type Ⅲ in rabbits with schistosomiasis japonica and the treatment effect of gamma interferon on the degradation of collagens in schistosomal hepatic fibrosis.Methods Each rabbit was infected with 80?1 S japonicum cercariae. Liver operations were done at different time points after infection and the liver specimens were embedded with paraffin and stained with ? SMA, HE and picric acid Sirius red. The stained slides were observed under polarizing microscope and different collagen areas calculated by computer imagine analysis system. At the 16th week after infection, the infected rabbits received a single dose of praziquantel and gamma interferon for 8 weeks.Results The area percent of collagen type Ⅰ at the 28th week after infection (40 14?17 00) increased about seven fold compared with the 8th week group (5 73?3 40). The area percent of collagen type Ⅲ at the 28th week after infection (6 80?5 19) increased about six fold compared with the 8th week group (1 15?1 34). The ? SMA positive cells also increased significantly. After gamma interferon treatment, the area percent of collagen type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ decreased significantly, from 18 51?7 52 and 4 63?3 64 (before treatment) to 3 09?1 54 and 0 40?0 37 (0 and 4 weeks after treatment) ( P

Objective:Cholangioduodenal reflux is still an unresolved problem in interposed jejunal choledochoduodenostomy (IJC) yet.To settle this problem,we designed IJC with distal suspending (IJCDS).Methods:IJCDS is to insert and suspend the distal end of the 25 cm-ling interposed jejunum to the duodenal cavity,which is about 2.5 cm long.The pressure of the biliary tract and the biochemical composition or the bile were measured during and after the operation and the results were compared.Barium meal and cholangiography through T tube were performed after the operation.Follow-up surveys were also done.Results:The pressure or the biliary tract decreased distinctively after the operation.Barium meals found no cholangioduodenal reflux although the patients had changed many postures.Cholangiography through T tube showed parisaltic or the interposed jejunum and the contrast medium was continuously pushed into the duodenum.Noreflux cholangitis and stone recurrence were found in the follow-up survey in 14 patients.Conclusion:IJCDS has the powerful function on preventing cholangioduodenal reflux.On the other hand,it avods the shortcomings of other reflux-preventing operative pattern.So it had the good prospect to extend its clinical usage.

The survey of the soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R) level in the sera and the membrane IL-2 receptor (mIL-2R) expression on the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 47 cases of late schistosomiasis japonica was reported. The measurement for sIL-2R was done with the double antibody sandwich ELISA. Indirect immunflurescence was performed in the measurement for mIL-2R. The levels of sIL-2R in sera from 47 patients with late schistoso-miasis was found to be higher than that in control (P
