E-health is a new kind of health care model, which raises medical efficiency, brings happiness and hope to the therapy of severe disease, and stands for the future of health care. However, it is faced with many issues and challenges, such as the safety of information storing, privacy protection and the distribution of health resources.Therefore, research & development in e-health should observe some criterion. The author holds that the development of e-health should observe ethical principles such as inform-concent, safety, justice, risk-benefit and developing step by step, and puts forward regulating recommendations in many aspects.

Objective To investigate the effects of gabapentin(GBP) on plasma β-endorphin(β-EP) level in the patients with painful diabetic neuropathy(PDN). Methods We detected the plasma β-EP level in 24 PDN patients in the treatment with GBP, 18 PDN patients without GBP treatment, 20 diabetic mellitus patients without PDN and 24 healthy control subjects. Results (1)The level of β-EP in diabetic mellitus patients was lower than in the healthy control(P<0.01). (2)The patients who received GBP had a significant change of β-EP level after treatment(P<0. 01).. Conclusions Gabapentin is effective for the treatment of PDN and its adverse effects are mild. It can lower the plasma β-EP level in the patients with PDN.

Objective To explore the influence of the combination therapy of probucol with atorvastatin on levels of serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDL), and marix metallopro? teinase-9 (MMP-9) and resolution of carotid plaque in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods One hun? dred-six patients with acute cerebral infarction who had carotid artery color Doppler ultrasound-confirmed atherosclerot? ic plaques , were included in the present study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: conventional treat? ment group ( 40 cases) which received atorvastatin (20mg/d) and co-treatment group (40 cases) which received Atorvas? tatin (20mg/d) and Probucol (500mg/d). Levels of hs-CRP, ox-LDL and MMP-9 were detected in all patients before treat? ment and 1, 6 and 12 months after drug therapy. The Intima-media thickness, area and numbers of carotid plaques were evaluated by using Doppler ultrasonography during a 12 months follow-up period. Results ① Serum hs-CRP and MMP-9 levels were significantly decreased at 1, 6 and 12 months after treatment, (conventional treatment group:t =14.662, 23.586, 28.179 and co-treatment group:t =47.023, 50.239, 50.774,P <0.01). The ox-LDL levels was obviously de? creased in the combined treatment group (t =4.592, 5.011, 5.892,P <0.01) but not in conventional treatment group (P > 0.05) at 1, 6 and 12 months after treatment. Serum hs-CRP, ox-LDL and MMP-9 levels were significantly lower in com? bined treatment group than in the conventional treatment group at all time points after treatment (t =7.655, 5.271, 2.492, t =4.927, 3.772, 4.673 andt =16.862, 4.251, 2.045.P <0.01 orP <0.05). ②There were not statistically differences in the IMT, plaque area and plaque numbers between these two groups before treatment (P >0.05). The IMT, plaque area and plaque numbers were significantly smaller in combined treatment group than in conventional treatment group (t =6.117, 3.290, 2.158,P <0.05). Conclusions The combination therapy of probucol with atorvastatin can greatly reduce levels of serunl hs-CRP,ox-LDL and MMP-9, indicating that the combination therapy has a strong anti-oxidant function, thereby reversing and stabilizing the atherosclerosis plaque.

A total of 192 poststroke patients with depression and anxiety were assigned randomly into study group (n =96) and control group (n =96).The study group received both capsules Shugan-jieyu and paroxetine while the control group paroxetine alone.Compared with the control group,scores of both Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) and Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) were significantly different at the end of week 2 and 6 in the study group (P < 0.05).The HAMD and HAMA deduction rate and the scores of mangled extremity severity,mini-mental state examination and modified Barthel index at the end of week 6 of the study group were better than those of the control group (all P < 0.05).The combined use of capsules Shugan-jieyu and paroxetine could improve symptoms of depression and anxiety,offer a higher safety and accelerate the rehabilitation of extremity function.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate how pharmacists provide through individualized pharmaceutical care for patients medication therapy management(MTM) combined with medicine gene detection, and to promote rational drug use in clinic.METHODS: A case of elderly comorbidity with acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by Warfarin sodium tablets was taken as an example. The patient had a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Coronary artery bypass grafting was performed two months before admission, and urinary tract infection occurred half a month ago. Medication therapy course was analyzed retrospectively before and after hospitalization; based on gene typing detection of CYP2C9*3 and VKORC1-1639, the individualized dose of Warfarin sodium tablets was evaluated. MTM was perfomed for acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage and all medication of patient to formulate individualized medication scheme. RESULTS: The genotyping of warfarin CYP2C9*3 and VKORC1-1639 indicated that the patients were of super slow metabolic type. The recommended dosage of warfarin should be 0.86-1.86 mg/d. Based on MTM analysis of acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, the main causes of acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage were Warfarin sodium tablets 3.0 mg/d, poor drug compliance, disease status and co-morbidity and multi-drug combination. Clinical gastrointestinal hemorrhage of the patients were improved after drug withdrawal, anticoagulant drugs was changed into Rivaroxaban tablet,10 mg/d. Through MTM for all drug use in the patient, results of medication reorganization showed that Diltiazem hydrochloride tablet, Amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium dispersible tablet, Compound vitamin tablet were stopped; hypoglycemic drug Glimepiride tablet was changed into Gliquidone tablet; Metoprolol tartrate tablet was changed into Bisoprolol tablet after coronary artery bypass graft; proton pump inhibitor Esomeprazole enteric-coated tablet was changed into Pantoprazole sodium enteric-coated capsule. CONCLUSIONS: The pharmaceutical care mode of MTM combined with medicine gene detection can guide rational drug use in clinic, realize individualized pharmaceutical care, improve patient compliance and prevent problems related to adverse drug reactions.

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes of surface electromyography (sEMG) of the flexors and extensors of the affected fingers after manual digitorum sensory stimulation (MDSS) in the hemiplegic patients after stroke. MethodsFrom April to August, 2020, 50 stroke patients in Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, the Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University accepted MDSS on the nail beds and the third knuckles of affected fingers, until the fingers extended actively. The tension of affected flexor pollicis brevis, flexor digitorum superficialis and extensor digitorum were assessed with modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) before and immediately after stimulation; while the root mean square (RMS) of sEMG of bilateral flexor pollicis brevis, flexor digitorum superficialis and extensor digitorum were recorded. ResultsThe MAS score of all the muscles decreased after stimulation (|Z| > 2.699, P < 0.01), while the RMS of affected extensor digitorum increased (t = -2.069, P < 0.05). Compared with the unaffected ones, RMS of affected flexor pollicis brevis and extensor digitorum decreased before and after stimulation (t > 2.450, P < 0.05). ConclusionMDSS may immediately relieve the spasm of flexors of hemiplegic fingers after stroke, which associates with the promoting muscle strength of the extensors.
