China Pharmacy 2016;27(17):2312-2314
OBJECTIVE:To compare the cost of Xiangdan injection and Danshen chuanxiongqin injection in the treatment of unstable angina pectoris of coronary heart disease,and to provide reference for rational and economic drug selection. METHODS:42 inpatients with unstable angina pectoris of coronary heart disease were divided into Xiangdan injection group(group A,20 cas-es) and Danshen chuanxiongqin injection group (group B,22 cases). Two groups were given conventional symptomatic treatment according to the specific clinical situation;on this basis,group A was given Xiangdan injection 20 ml intravenously,qd;group B was given Danshen chuanxiongqin injection 10 ml intravenously,qd,for 14 d. Clinical efficacy and the occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups,and cost-minimization analysis was conducted. RESULTS:After treatment,total effective rate of group A and B was 95.00% and 95.45%,without statistical significance(P>0.05);there was also no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR (P>0.05). The costs of 2 groups were equal in addition to the cost of drugs. According to cost-minimization analysis,the drug cost of group A was 77.28 yuan and total cost was 705.88 yuan;the drug cost of group B was 1 310.40 yuan and total cost was 1 939.00 yuan;the drug cost and total cost of group A were far more less than that of group B,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The results of sensitivity analysis were consistent with it. CONCLUSIONS:The cost of Xiangdan injection is lower and more economical than that of Danshen chuanxiongqin injection in the treatment of unstable angina pectoris of coronary heart disease.

Objective To study intervention effect of diet habits according to Trans-theoretic Model (TTM) in young and middle-aged patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Methods 120 patients were divided into the intervention group (n=60) and the control group (n=60). The nursing intervention by stages of TTM was implemented to a total of 56 patients in the intervention group in the study. Routine nursing care was taken to 57 patients in the control group. Patients were evaluated by self-designed questionnaire after 1, 3 and 6 months of the intervention in the two groups respectively, including the diets of patients, the change of patients′ eating habit, differences of uric acid, total cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar. Results The patients′ intake of beer, seafood, meat, edible oil in the intervention group was lower than the patients′ intake in the control group, while the patients′ intake of fruits and vegetables was higher than the patients′intake in the control group after 1, 3 and 6 months of the intervention, which was statistically significant ( P < 0.01). Compared with 27 cases in the control group, 53 cases in the intervention group were in action phase and maintenance phase after 6-month intervention, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). After six months′intervention, the patients′uric acid, triglycerides in the intervention group was (418.01 ± 24.15)μmol/L and (1.52 ± 0.56) mmol/ L respectively, which was significantly lower than (435.02 ± 26.35) μmol/ L and (2.45 ± 0.74) mmol/L in the control group, t values were-3.47 and 2.20 respectively, P<0.01. Conclusions Diet intervention based on the TTM can effectively promote the change of patients′ unhealthy eating habits, improve self-management skills, and reduce uric acid, which is worthy of generalizing.

Objective To assess the surgical effectiveness of pelvic endometriosis (EMS) by Laparoscopic. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed in 1272 pelvic EMS patients underwent laparoscopic surgical treatment. All patients were classified into four groups according to the R-AFS,63 patients of Ⅰ stage,44 patients of Ⅱ stage,475 patients of Ⅲ stage and 690 patients of Ⅳ stage. Symptoms of EMS,surgical effect and follow-up outcomes were compared. Results In all stages, there were no significant differences on moderate to severe dysmenorrhea,increase in CA125 and infertility (Ps > 0. 05 ). In the EMS patients combined with AM or/and DIE, the rates of the moderate to severe dysmenorrhea, CA125 increase and infertility were 84.6% (11/13 ) ,92.3 %(12/13) and 53.8% (7/13)in stage Ⅰ ,81.8% (9/11) ,90. 9% ( 10/11 )and 54.5% (6/11) in stage Ⅱ ,84.8%(173/204) ,93. 1% (190/204) and 47.1% (96/204) in stage Ⅲ ,and 81.6% (213/261) ,91.2% (238/261) and 46.4% ( 121/261 ) in stage Ⅳ, respectively. The rates in non-consolidated AM or/and DIE patients were 46.0%(23/50),62.0% (31/50) and 22.0% ( 1 1/50) in stage Ⅰ ,45.5 % ( 15/33 ),54.5% ( 18/33 ) and 18.2% (6/33)in stage Ⅱ ,41.7% ( 113/271 ) ,62.7% ( 165/271 ) and 23.6% (64/271) in stage Ⅲ ,and 47.3% (203/429),60.1% (248/429) and 21.7% (93/429). The difference between the two groups with and without consolidated AM or/and DIE had statistical significance( P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ). After the treatment, the scores of life's energy, ache,emotion,sleep,social activity and body movement of NHP were significantly superior than those before treatment in all patients ( P < 0.01 ). The surgery time-consuming of Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage patients were (64.5 ± 18.4) min and (61.7 ± 17.1 ) min respectively, which were significantly higher than that of Ⅰ and Ⅱ stage ( ( 31.9 ± 12.3 ) min and (40.3 ± 10. 6) main ] ( t = 20.25, P < 0.01 ). The massive hemorrhages and the internal damage organs occurred in Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage surgery [2.9% and 3.5% ,respectively] ,whereas much less in Ⅰ and Ⅱ stage (0.8% and 1.4% ) ,with no significant difference(P >0. 05). After treatment,the rate of symptoms recurrence of Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage patients respectively were 21.4% ,which were higher than that of Ⅰ and Ⅱ stage patients ( 2.3% ) (P < 0.05 )The rate of pregnancy in Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage patients ( 15.4% ) were lower than that of Ⅰ and Ⅱ stage patients (69. 6% ) ( P < 0. 01 ). Conclusions Pelvic EMS decreased the quality of life. EMS patients combined with adenomyosis or/and deep infiltrating EMS have more severe pelvic pain symptoms, less surgical effectiveness and more serious complications. Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage patients are more liable to symptoms recurrence and lower pregnancy rate.
