OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for standardizing dispensing and use of intravenous drug. METHODS:266 piec-es of intravenous drug instructions were collected in PIVAS of our hospital,and then the labeling information were statistically ana-lyzed,including dispensing method,diluted or dissolved solvent before preparation and storage time after preparation. RESULTS:Among 266 intravenous drug instructions,there were 45 kinds of finished product infusion varieties and 221 kinds of drugs needing to be prepared. Among these,there were only 30 pieces of drug instructions with labeling dispensing method,accounting for 13.57%;195 pieces of drug instructions stated solvent for dilution and 22 stated solvent for dissolution before preparation,account-ing for 88.24% and 19.13%;69 pieces of drug instructions stated storage time,accounting for 31.22%. CONCLUSIONS:The la-bel information of dispensing method and storage time in intravenous drug instructions is markedly insufficient or not clear. Drug ad-ministration departments are suggested to strengthen the instruction standardization management. Meanwhile,manufacturers should specify the relevant information in intravenous drug instructions.

Objective To evaluate contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in diagnosis of small hepatocellular carcinoma (SHCC) ( ≤ 2. 0 cm) with liver cirrhosis after contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) examination. Methods Forty five patients with liver cirrhosis received CECT and CEUS examinations before operation or needle biopsy and the diagnosis was confirmed by pathological examination.CEUS and CECT findings of 51 liver space-occupying lesions from 45 patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among all 51 lesions detected CEUS and CECT found 49 and 35, respectively. The typical characteristics of SHCC were "fast-in and fast-out" and "fast-in and slow-out". The sensitivity of CEUS and CECT in diagnosis of SHCC was 88. 9% (32/36) and 69. 4 % (25/36) respectively ( x2 = 3. 02, P =0. 08);the diagnostic accuracy was 84. 3 % (43/51 ) and 56. 9% (29/51 ) respectively ( x2 = 1.46, P =0. 22). Among 16 lesions missed by CECT, 12 were detected by CEUS. Conclusions CEUS and CECT show the similar diagnostic rate for typical SHCC ,however, CEUS is more sensitive for atypical lesions. With high time resolution, CEUS have advantages for follow-up study of benign liver lesions.

Objective To investigate whether no asphyxia neonates with intrauterine distress are complicated with myocardial injury and determine the sensitive biochemical diagnostic parameters. Methods A total of 89 neonates born in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2009 to December 2009 were enrolled. Fifty-three fetal distress cases with Apgar score > 7 at 1 and 5 minites were enrolled in the study group; while the rest 36 healthy neonates, whose Apgar score = 10 at 1 and 5 minites, were the control group. Umbilical artery blood samples of all cases were collected for blood gas analysis and biochemical measurement. Results(1)pH(7.23±0.07) and BE [(-4.8±3.0)mmol/L] in the study group were significantly lower than pH (7.31 ±0.03) and BE [(-2.1±1.5)mmol/L] in the control group (P<0.05).The lactic acid of study group [(5.2±2.3)mmol/L] was higher than that of the control group [(2.3±1.1)mmol/L], and the difference was significant (P<0.01). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in PaO2[(16.2±7.9)mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) vs. (17.5±6.7)mm Hg] and PaCO2[(54.0±11.2)mm Hg vs. (48.5±5.4) mm Hg; P>0. 05]. (2) The level of CK-MB in neonates with fetal distress[(48 ±59) U/L] was significantly higher than that of healthy neonates [(36±27)U/L]. However, no significant difference was found in CK [(194±73)U/L vs. (162±95) U/L]and BNP levels[(519±309)ng/L vs.(481±216)ng/L;P > 0.05]. (3) Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that CK-MB level was negatively correlated with pH(r=-0.296, P<0.05) and BE (r=-0.318,P<0.05) of umbilical artery blood,while BNP level was positively correlated with umbilical lactic acid (r=0.278, P<0.05). No correlation was found between other parameters (P>0.05).Conclusions Intrauterine distress without neonatal asphyxia had effect on fetal myocardial injury. CK-MB can be used as a sensitive parameter for monitoring the development of myocardial injury. The severity of myocardial injury was related to fetal acidosis.
