Objective To investigate the effect of Shanzha Xiaozhi capslue on intima-media thickness(IMT) and plaques score of carotid artery in patients with non-acute phase coronary heart disease and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis. Methods A prospective study was conducted to carry out a research on 102 patients with non-acute phase coronary heart disease and TCM syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis. They were randomly divided into two groups:a control group(50 cases)treated with conventional western medicine alone and a observation group(52 cases)which was treated by both conventional western medicine and Shanzha Xiaozhi capslue(the main TCM ingredients:Shanzha,Dahuang)0.7 g,3 times a day,the therapeutic course being 6 months in both groups. The cardiocerebral vascular incidences of the two groups were observed,in the mean time,the carotid artery IMT and plagues score were registered,the scores of phlegm stagnation syndrome and blood-stasis syndrome were measured,adverse reaction was observed and compared in both groups before and after treatment. Results After treatment,the occurrence of major adverse acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in observation group were reduced significantly compared with those in the control group(5.77%vs. 20.00%,P<0.05). The IMT and plaques score of carotid artery and the scores of phlegm stagnation syndrome and blood-stasis syndrome were all decreased obviously compared to those before treatment,and the effect was more remarkable in the treatment group〔IMT of carotid artery(mm):0.80±0.13 vs. 0.95±0.12,the plaques score:1.35±0.65 vs. 1.75±0.88, phlegm syndrome score:20.98±6.42 vs. 35.55±9.22,blood-stasis syndrome score:23.23±5.12 vs. 28.95±6.38, P<0.05 or P<0.01〕. Abdominal pain appeared in 2 patients of observation group without other adverse reactions. Conclusion Shanzha Xiaozhi capsule can stabilize atherosclerotic plaque and reduce the occurrence of acute adverse cardiocerebral vascular events in patients with non-acute phase coronary heart disease and phlegm and blood stasis syndrome possibly by removing phlegm and blood stasis to decrease the IMT and plaques score of carotid artery.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters in upper extremity motor function recovery after surgery in patients with acute cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI).Methods:Twenty-three patients with acute CSCI who received postoperative systemic rehabilitation therapy in Department of Neurosurgery, 900 th Hospital of Joint Logistics Team of People's Liberation Army from May 2019 to July 2021 were selected as an experimental group, and 22 healthy subjects (healthy control group) matched with age and gender were selected from Physical Examination Center of the same hospital at the same period. Routine MRI sequence and DTI scan of the cervical spinal cord, scale of American Association for Spinal Cord Injury (ASIA) and modified Barthe index (mBI) were performed in patients of the experimental group 1 d and 3 months after surgery. Routine MRI sequence and DTI scan of the cervical spinal cord were performed in healthy subjects after enrollment. The DTI parameters in different regions between the two groups were compared, and the differences in DTI parameters, ASIA scores and mBI in patients of the experimental group before and after surgery were compared. Correlations of preoperative DTI parameters with preoperative upper extremity motor ASIA scores and upper extremity motor recovery rate 3 months after surgery were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive efficacy of preoperative fractional anisotropy (FA) in upper extremity motor function recovery in CSCI patients 3 months after surgery. Results:As compared with the healthy control group, the experimental group had significantly lower preoperative FA in the injury area and distal injury area, and statistically higher preoperative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC, P<0.05). In patients of the experimental group, preoperative FA in the injury area was significantly lower and ADC in the injury area was significantly higher as compared with those in the distal injury area ( P<0.05); patients of the experimental group had significantly higher FA in these two regions, upper extremity motor ASIA scores and mBI, and significantly lower ADC 3 months after surgery as compared with those 1 d before surgery ( P<0.05). The preoperative FA in the injury area and distal injury area in CSCI patients were positively correlated with preoperative upper extremity motor ASIA scores and upper extremity motor recovery rate 3 months after surgery ( P<0.05). ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of preoperative FA in injury area in predicting upper extremity motor function recovery 3 months after surgery was 0.912 ( 95%CI: 0.783-1.000, P<0.001); that of preoperative FA in the distal injury area was 0.842 ( 95%CI: 0.682-1.000, P<0.001). Conclusion:DTI parameters FA and ADC are sensitive indicators for detecting CSCI; preoperative FA in the injury area and distal injury area can be used to predict the upper extremity motor function recovery, but the efficacy of the former is superior to that of the later.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for safe drug use in patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Clinical pharmacists participated in the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with ALK-positive NSCLC who developed bilateral pleural effusion and hemolytic anemia after taking alectinib; regarding symptoms such as pleural effusion and hemolytic anemia in the patient, clinical pharmacists investigated the patient’s history of medication and disease, as well as potential drug interaction; to consider the correlation between the patient’s use of alectinib and the duration of pleural effusion and hemolytic anemia, clinical pharmacists suggested that clinical doctors discontinued alectinib and used reduced dose treatment after the pleural effusion improved, but the patient suffered from bilateral pleural effusion and hemolytic anemia again; after evaluating the correlation between alectinib and bilateral pleural effusion and hemolytic anemia using the Naranjo’s assessment scale, clinical pharmacists recommend permanent discontinuation of alectinib and jointly recommend replacement with ensartinib with clinical physicians. RESULTS Physicians adopted the suggestions of clinical pharmacists. The pleural effusion subsequently regressed and hemolytic anemia improved after replacing the drug. The correlation between alectinib and bilateral pleural effusion and hemolytic anemia was confirmed. CONCLUSIONS Clinical pharmacists participate in pharmaceutical monitoring of ALK-positive NSCLC patients, assist clinical doctors in developing personalized medication recommendations, and ensure the safety of patient medication.
