OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving the cognition of medical staff for adverse drug reactions(ADR). METHODS:A questionnaire survey was conducted on the spot among the physicians,nurses and pharmacists with different profes-sional titles in our hospital to investigate their cognition about ADR concept,their judgment for ADR and ADR reporting,and the results were analyzed by statistical methods. RESULTS:Totally 452 questionnaires were sent out,and 439 were effectively re-ceived,with effective rate of 97.12%. In terms of correct cognition rate about ADR basic concept and the main reasons,the sur-veyed pharmacists were higher than physicians and nurses,the senior professional titles of surveyed pharmacists were higher than the intermediate and junior,the pharmacists with senior professional titles were the highest and the junior were the lowest,the dif-ferences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of the proportion of certain for ADR judgment,the surveyed nurses were lower than pharmacists and physicians,the surveyed physicians with senior and intermediate professional titles were higher the ju-nior,the surveyed nurses with intermediate titles were higher than the junior,the surveyed pharmacists with senior professional ti-tles were higher than the intermediate and the junior,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of cognition about ADR reporting,the surveyed pharmacists were the highest and the nurses were the lowest,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05),while in terms of the proportion of knowing ADR reporting timing limit,reporting procedures and depart-ments,the surveyed pharmacists and physicians with junior professional titles were lower than the senior and intermediate,the dif-ferences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of reasons for missed ADR reporting,the proportion of consideration of the risk of causing medical disputes for doctors of the surveyed physicians was higher than pharmacists and nurses,while the sur-veyed nurses showed higher proportion for doing not understand reporting procedures,doing not reporting,thinking ADR reporting was dispensable and uncertain for ADR identification,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Medical staff with different professional titles and occupations have different cognition about ADR basic concept,judgment and re-porting,the pharmacist are relatively good,followed by the physician and nurse,especially the nurse,and the medical staff with junior professional titles are relatively poor. It is necessary to strengthen ADR education and training for them,play professional ad-vantages from the pharmacist and optimize ADR reporting procedures to improve the reporting rate and quality of ADR.

This study was aimed to reveal the material basis on different diseases of the same syndrome damp-heat syndrome from the level of metabonomics.The typical damp-heat syndrome patients diagnosed as chronic viral hepatitis B,non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,or chronic glomerulonephritis were included,with 30 cases in each disease.There were 30 healthy volunteers in the control group.The serum samples were detected by UPLC-QTOFMS and GC-TOFMS.And then,the results were analyzed by variance analysis in order to find out the generality and specificity of metabolic material in three different diseases with damp-heat syndrome.The results showed that through comparisons of different diseases with damp-heat syndrome,as well as the healthy group as control,it was revealed that inosine,uridine,aspartic acid,oleic acid glyceride and lactate were the same substances of three diseases of damp-heat syndrome.It was concluded that based on metabonomics,as for three different diseases with damp-heat syndrome,there were different substances among different diseases,but common substances related to damp-heat syndrome.Thus,it provided objective evidences for the theory of different diseases of the same syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) from the level of metabonomics.

Objective To study the effect of methylphenidate on urinary endogenous metabolites in children with ADHD, and to explore the mechanism of methylphenidate. Methods The metabolites of urine in 37 children with ADHD treated with methylphenidate before intervention (case 0 week group), intervention for 6 weeks (6 weeks group), intervention 12 weeks (12 weeks group, and 40 healthy subjects (control group) were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and analyzed by orthogonal partial least squares (OPLS) to find the significant differences biomarkers. Results The urine metabolic profile of the control group, the 0 week group and the 12 week group showed obvious changes. The metabolic profile of the 0 week group and the control group was differentiated, and the 12 week group was away from the 0 week group, and closed to the control group. 24 significant differences metabolites were identified using commercially available metabolite libraries (such as the Wiley and NIST mass pools) and the standard metabolite library established in our laboratory. The levels of these metabolites were reversed to normal level due to methylphenidate intervention. Conclusion This study shows that methylphenidate has a good curative effect on children with ADHD. Its mechanism is related to the metabolic abnormalities of pyruvate metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism. The possible mechanism of methylphenidate in the treatment of children with ADHD was revealed from the overall metabolic point of the body. Metabolomics reveals possible therapeutic mechanism of methylphenidate for children with ADHD from overall metabolism of the body.

Objective:To compare the effect of a 3D-printed ankle and foot orthosis (AFO) with that of a traditional AFO on the recovery of walking function after a stroke.Methods:Thirty-four hemiplegic stroke survivors were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, each of 17. Both groups were taught good limb placement and given joint mobility, standing and walking training for 4 weeks wearing either a 3D-printed or a conventional AFO. Walking speed, walking endurance, and dynamic balance were evaluated before and after the experiment using the 10-metre walk test (10MWT), the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and the timed up and go test (TUGT). Integrated electromyography (iEMG) was also performed on each subject′s bilateral rectus femoris, anterior tibialis, and gastrocnemius muscles during walking, and their healthy and affected side iEMG results were compared to assess the activation of the affected lower limb muscles.Results:After treatment, the 10MWT, 6MWT, and TUGT results of both groups had improved significantly, but the observation group′s average results were then significantly better than those in the control group. The iEMG disparities between the healthy and affected sides had also decreased significantly, but on average the disparities in the observation group were significantly smaller than in the control group.Conclusion:Both types of AFO can effectively improve the walking speed, walking endurance, and dynamic balance of hemiplegic stroke survivors and promote muscle activation in the affected lower limb. A 3D-printed AFO is relatively more effective.

Objective:To Analyze the clinical features and influencing factors of elderly patients with new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) and provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for 109 inpatients diagnosed with COVID-19, including 39 in the elderly group and 70 in the non-elderly group, and the clinical data and prognosis of the two groups were compared.Results:The incidence of severe and critical cases in the elderly group was higher than that in the non-elderly group [48.7% (19/39)] vs.[15.7%(11/70)], P=0.032. The proportion of patients with chronic underlying diseases in the elderly group was significantly higher than that in the non-elderly group [84.6% (33/39)] vs. [30% (21/70)], P=0.003. There were 15 cases with chest tightness in the elderly group (38.5%), 12 cases of wheezing (30.8%) which were significantly higher than those in the non-elderly group. The laboratory examination tests of elderly groups showed a significantly lower absolute count of peripheral blood lymphocytes than non-elderly groups, and there was a significant difference ( P=0.029), and C-reactive protein and Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were significantly higher in the elderly group than that of non-elderly groups ( P<0.001). The abnormal value of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Albumin (ALB), creatinine (CREA), creatine kinase (CK), myoglobin (MYO) in the elderly group were higher than those in the non-elderly group ( P<0.05). Age, underlying disease, NLR are independent risk factors affecting prognosis. Conclusions:Elderly patients with the COVID-19 often have multiple underlying diseases, if the rates of laboratory lymphocyte count, C-reactive protein, liver and kidney function and myocardial enzyme spectrum abnormalities increased more obviously, the patients are more likely to develop into severe and critical status. Factors affecting the prognosis include age greater than 60 years, presence of underlying disease and serum NLR levels.
