This work aimed to set up a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to determine the concentration of lansoprazole in human plasma and study the pharmacokinetic characters of lansoprazole in Chinese healthy volunteers after intravenous (IV) infusion. In accordance with double 3 x 3 Latin square design with self-crossover design, 12 volunteers were randomly divided into six groups, with half males and half females. The volunteers were administered with single dose of 15, 30, 60 mg of lansoprazole by IV infusion at a constant speed respectively, to study the clinical pharmacokinetics of lansoprazole. The linear range of lansoprazole in human plasma was 0.020-4.970 microg/ml (r = 0.9999); The intra-day and inter-day RSD were less than 10%. After receiving single doses of 15, 30 and 60 mg of lansoprazole, t(1/2) were (1.663 +/- 0.405) h, (1.541 +/- 0.339)h and (1.747 +/- 0.156) h; Cmax were (1.065 +/- 0.094) microg/ml, (2.104 +/- 0.312) microg/ml and (3.786 +/- 0.356) microg/ml; AUC(0-infinity) were (2.376 +/- 0. 432) microg x h/ ml, (4.722 +/- 0.753) microg x h/ml and (10.495 +/- 2.129) microg x h/ml respectively. The improved HPLC method is simple, rapid and reproducible. It could be used for determination of the concentration of lansoprazole in human plasma. The pharmacokinetics of lansoprazole for injection was found to fit the linear dynamics in vivo within the dose range of 15 to 60 mg. In addition, the results suggested that gender had no statistic significant effect on the pharmacokinetic process of lansoprazole after IV infusion of single dose.

Objective:
This study aimed to translate the English version of the Perceived Competence Scale for Disaster Mental Health Workforce (PCS-DMHW) into Chinese, and to test its reliability and validity in Chinese mental health workers.
Methods:
With the consent of Professor Choi, Keimyung University, Korea, and the authorization of the scale, the English version of PCS-DMHW was translated, retranslated and culturally debugged to form the Chinese version of PCS-DMHW. The general information questionnaire and the Chinese version of PCS-DMHW scale were used to investigate 706 mental health workforce from 9 tertiary hospitals in Sichuan province in China from March 24, 2020 to April 14, 2020. The Cronbach’s α coefficient was used to evaluate the internal consistency reliability of the scale, and the test-retest correlation coefficient r was used to evaluate the test-retest reliability of the scale. The content validity indexes (CVI) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used separately for evaluating the content validity and structure validity of the scale.
Results:
The Cronbach’s α coefficient of the Chinese version of PCS-DMHW total scale, individual competences and organizational competences subscale was 0.978, 0.956, and 0.964, respectively. The test-retest reliability of the total scale, individual competences and organizational competences subscale was 0.949, 0.932 and 0.927, respectively. The item-level CVI of all scale were ranged from 0.833–1.000, the scale-level CVI (S-CVI)/universal agreement of the total scale, individual competences and organizational competences subscale was 0.833, 0.875, and 0.857, respectively, and the S-CVI/average was 0.972, 0.979, and 0.976, respectively. EFA showed that two principal components were extracted from the subscale of individual competences and organizational competences.
Conclusion
The Chinese version of PCS-DMHW has good reliability and validity, and can be widely used in China.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) on anxiety , depression , and symptoms of sleep disorders in patients with chronic subjective tinnitus. Methods Eighty patients with chronic subjective tinnitus visiting The Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University from January 2016 to December 2017 were recruited ,and were divided into an observation group and a control group through computer generated random numbers. Patients in the control group were given drug treatment only ,while those in the observation group received TRT in addition to drug treatment. Clinical efficacy was evaluated using Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) , Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) ,Hamilton Depression Scale (SDS) ,and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (SAS ) for both groups. Results Patients in the observation group were associated with significantly lower scores of THI ,PSQI ,SAS and SDS ,compared with those in the control group 3 months after treatment (each P<0.05). Furthermore ,the effectiveness rate was markedly higher (82.5% or 33 cases vs. 55.0% or 22 cases ,χ2=7.040 ,P<0.01) in the observation group than in the control group 6 months after treatment. Conclusion Tinnitus retraining therapy combined with conventional therapy can help to reduce the severity of tinnitus handicap ,ameliorate negative emotions such as anxiety and depression ,and improve sleep quality in patients with chronic subjective tinnitus.

Objective:To explore the value of a nomogram model based on the CT enterography (CTE) signs for prediction of intestinal penetrating lesions in patients with Crohn disease (CD).Methods:The clinical and CTE data of CD patients who underwent at least two CTE examinations from January 2010 to June 2020 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were retrospectively collected. A total of 112 patients were enrolled, and according to whether there was intestinal wall penetration in the last CTE observation were divided into non-penetration group (84 cases) and penetration group (28 cases). First, the clinical and CTE data for the first examination was analyzed by using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression to screen out high-risk factors that could effectively predict intestinal wall penetrating lesions in CD patients and established a nomogram model. Then the change trend of CTE data (ΔCTE) between the first and last clinical and CTE signs was analyzed by using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression, and built a nomogram model to sort out ΔCTE that may accompany the development of penetrating lesions in CD patients. The Harrell concordance index was used to evaluate the discriminative ability of the nomogram model.Results:In the first time clinical and CTE signs, multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression results showed that numbers of diseased bowel segments (HR=0.686, 95%CI 0.475-0.991, P=0.045) and the shortest diameter of the largest lymph node (HR=0.751, 95%CI 0.593-0.949, P=0.017) were independent protection factors for penetrating lesions, and rough bowel wall surface (HR=5.626, 95%CI 2.466-12.839, P<0.001) was an independent risk factor for penetrating lesions. The specificity and sensitivity of the nomogram model to predict non-penetration lesions were 82.1% and 59.5% respectively, and the Harrell concordance index was 0.810 (95%CI 0.732-0.888). In the ΔCTE signs, multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression showed that Δrough bowel wall surface (always rough bowel wall surface HR=12.344, 95%CI 2.042-74.625, P=0.006; slide bowel wall surface becomes rough bowel wall surface HR=28.720, 95%CI 4.580-180.112, P<0.001) and Δthe shortest diameter of the largest lymph node (HR=1.534, 95%CI 1.091-2.157, P=0.014) were independent risk factors for penetrating lesions. The specificity and sensitivity of the nomogram model were 89.3% and 79.2% respectively, and the Harrell concordance index was 0.876 (95%CI 0.818-0.934). Conclusion:The nomogram based on CTE signs of numbers of diseased bowel segments, the shortest diameter of the largest lymph node and rough bowel wall surface and ΔCTE can effectively predict the intestinal wall penetrating lesions of CD patients.

OBJECTIVE To explore the characteristics and regulations of adverse drug reactions (ADR) caused by apatinib, and to provide a reference for the safe use of apatinib in clinic. METHODS Case and group reports on ADR and safety evaluation of apatinib were retrieved from Chinese and English databases such as CNKI, Wanfang medical network, VIP and PubMed since its listing in 2014, literature data were extracted and statistically analyzed after screening. RESULTS Totally 101 cases were included, involving 221 ADR. In the above cases, the male-to-female ratio was 1.24∶1, with the highest proportion of patients aged 51 to 70 years, most of the patients were given a dose of 500 mg or more, and the patients given low dose of apatinib combined with other antitumor drugs were also likely to have ADR. One to two types of adverse reaction were the most common, while the types could reach up to six. Most ADR occurred within 30 days after medication, and the systems/organs involved were mainly the cardiovascular system damage,skin and its accessories damage, gastrointestinal system damage and urinary system damage; the main clinical manifestations were hypertension/aggravation,hand-foot syndrome,abdominal pain diarrhea and albuminuria, etc. Hypertension/aggravation, hand-foot syndrome and myelosuppression were the most common serious ADR. Most ADR could be improved/cured by suspension of administration, dose downregulation and symptomatic treatment. All 4 patients who died had underlying diseases, and their ECOG scores all ≥2 points. Special ADR (such as reversible posterior encephalopathy syndrome, psychiatric disorders, and cognitive impairment) were mostly caused by apatinib itself, or may be caused by apatinib in combination with the primary or underlying disease. CONCLUSIONS Advanced age, large dose, combination medication, underlying diseases and poor physical condition might be the high risks for ADR caused by apatinib. It is recommended to monitor the blood pressure,urine protein and skin of hands and feet of all patients with medication on a daily basis,pay attention to the occurrence of special ADR, and timely detect abnormal states and give effective intervention,so as to avoid the aggravation of ADR and other secondary ADR.
