OBJECTIVE:To reduce patient waiting time for drugs by improving work efficiency via the optimization of the in-telligent workflow of outpatient pharmacy. METHODS:The problems existing in each link in the workflow after the adoption of au-tomated drug dispensing machine in the outpatient pharmacy of our hospital were analyzed. Measures were developed and imple-mented,on the basis of the factors affecting each link including adding drugs,making up a prescription and dispensing drugs,to optimize the workflow. The effect after the optimization was evaluated,with the time it takes to make up a prescription and to dis-pense drugs and patient waiting time for drugs as the indexes. RESULTS:The averaged time it takes a pharmacist to make up a pre-scription and to dispense drugs and patient waiting time for drugs significantly reduced from 3.4 min,9.3 min and 12.7 min to 1.0 min,6.1 min and 7.1 min respectively,after taking measures such as adjusting the number of the drug types,tracks and positions in the machine,adding the contrasting pictures of the drugs which were similar on the system interface for adding drugs,standardiz-ing the process of adding drugs,improving and allocating information labels,adjusting the process of dispensing drugs and adding new small packages of drugs within 6 months. CONCLUSIONS:The optimized intelligent workflow in the pharmacy can reduce pa-tient waiting time for drugs,increase patient satisfaction and promote the development of intelligent pharmacy.

Objective To evaluate the right heart dysfunction in SLE patients with/ without pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) using the parameters recommended by the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE),and to examine whether the right heart dysfunction is directly related to elevated pulmonary arterial systolic pressure(PASP) and pulmonary vascular resistance(PVR).Methods Study population composited of 43 patients with SLE.The patients were divided into two groups according to the PASP measured by echocardiography:Group A was 24 patients with PASP ≤35 mm Hg,Group B was 19patients with PASP>35 mm Hg.Twenty-two healthy subjects with age and gender matched were set as control group.Routine transthoracic echocardiography study was performed on all patients and 26 parameters were measured in order to compare the differences of the parameters among the three groups.Results There were significant differences in 17 parameters among the three groups (P <0.05).Tricuspid annular plane systolic excurtion(TAPSE) and E/A ratio of tricuspid flow velocities in SLE patients without PAH significantly decreased compared to control group (P =0.04 and 0.03).There were significant differences in 11 parameters between SLE with and without PAH group (P <0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that after adjustment for age and gender,the patients with elevated PVR associated with a 6.18-fold increase in right ventricular dysfunction compared to the patients with normal PVR (P =0.02).Conclusions The impairment of right ventricular function in SLE patients was directly related to PVR and PASP.Elevation of PVR was an important predictor for right heart dysfunction.

24 new cDNA sequences encoding cytochrome P450 were amplified respectively from deltamethrin susceptible and -resistant strains of the mosquito, Culex pipiens pallens, with a pair of degenerate primers according to the conservative amino acid sequences of CYP4 in insects by RT-PCR. Studies of molecular systematics show that the 24 new genes (alleles) belong to CYP4C, CYP4D, CYP4H and CYP4J subfamilies of the CYP4 family, and they were named by Cytochrome P450 Nomenclature Committee. Among the new genes (alleles), CYP4C23 may be a pseudogene, CYP4H13 has a retained intron 58 nucleotides in length, and CYP4J4V1 has a stop coden (TAG) in frame near the 3'-end.

Objective To investigate the effect of a fast-track based clinical nursing pathway of hepatic carcinoma on patient satisfaction and job satisfaction of nurses. Methods A total of 91 primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) patients undergoing elective hepatectomy were enrolled and were divided into two groups by admission time, namely the control group (48 cases) and the experimental group (43 cases). The patients in the control group received traditional perioperative nursing care of hepatectomy, while the cases in the experimental group participated in fast-track nursing pathway. Patient satisfaction and nurse job satisfaction were measured before and after implementation. Results Final analysis included 45 patients in the control group and 40 patients in the experimental group. In the experimental group, the total score of patient satisfaction and the scores of all dimensions (including services and techniques, concern and care, services and techniques and overall satisfaction) were (132.75 ± 13.71), (48.30 ± 6.53), (42.60 ± 4.62), (35.98 ± 3.85), (5.88 ± 0.94), while they were (122.89 ± 16.62), (44.53 ± 7.74), (39.49 ± 5.67), (33.53±4.40), (5.33±1.13) in the control group. And the scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than that of the control group (t=-2.961, t=-2.409, t=-2.753, t=-2.709, t=-2.389, P<0.05). Furthermore,after implementing the fast-track clinical nursing pathway,the total score of nurse job satisfaction and the scores of six factors were (143.23 ± 9.40), (28.45 ± 2.72), (24.82 ± 2.28), (23.05 ± 1.33), (13.91 ± 1.95), (15.05 ± 1.43), (16.64 ± 1.65) while they were (127.36 ± 13.14), (25.68 ± 4.16), (19.64 ± 2.75), (20.23 ± 2.35), (13.23 ± 2.22), (13.68 ± 2.01), (14.50 ± 1.95) before the implementation. The former was significantly better than the latter (t =-12.462,-7.743,-12.670,-6.560,-2.417,-1.483,-6.587,P<0.05). However, no differences were observed in the other two dimensions of wages and benefits andwork-family balance(t =-1.945,-1.312,P>0.05) since the scores after implementation were (13.86 ± 2.12), (7.45 ± 1.57), while that of (13.18 ± 2.30)、(7.23 ± 1.41) were obtained before performance. Conclusions Application of fast- track nursing pathway in perioperative patients with PHC can contribute to promoting the level of patient satisfaction and job satisfaction of nurses and improving nursing quality. It is suggested that this nursing pathway will have more potential value for PHC patients.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the drug storage position management in automatic dispensing machine,and improve the dispensing efficiency. METHODS:The orbital utilization rate of drugs in automatic dispensing machine was calculated,the opti-mum value of orbital utilization rate was set up to adjust the drug varieties and numbers of storage tracks for continually optimizing the storage position management. Dispensing rates of automatic dispensing machines and real-time dispensing windows with fully automated deployment before (Mar.-Jun. 2016) and after (Jul.-Oct. 2016) optimization were statistically analyzed and compared. RESULTS:The optimum value of orbital utilization rate was set up as 67%. Drugs more than the value were increased the num-bers of storage tracks,while drugs less than the value was decreased the numbers of storage tracks or removed out of dispensing machines. From Mar. to Oct. 2016,2 dispensing machines in our hospital adjusted 75 varieties and 127 orbits in total,storage num-bers was increased by 158 boxes. Compared with before optimization (Mar.),dispensing rate of automatic dispensing machines was increased from 73.7% to 81.3% after optimization(Oct.),dispensing rate of real-time dispensing window was increased from 39.8% to 51.8%(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Applying the orbital utilization rate algorithm for adjusting drug variety and track number in machine can effectively and continually optimize the drug storage position,increase the storage capacity in machine, make full use of automatic equipments and improve the dispensing efficiency.
