OBJECTIVE: To properly evaluate the conditions of clinical practice of quinolone antibacterial agents. To provide data for clinical medicine and to guide rational drug use. METHODS: 237 cases with adverse reactions induced by quinolone antibacterial agents reported in demestic literatures issued from 1985 to 1997 were collected and statistically ana- lyzed. RESULTS: The general rule and characteristics of occurrence of adverse reactions resulted from quinolones have been summarized. CONCLUSION: The indications for clinical use of quinolones should be handled strictly, especially in children, so as to avoid the abuse of drug.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the accuracy of detecting tacrolimus(FK506) concentration in whole blood by ELISA and its application in organ transplantation.METHODS:The ELISA was used to detect FK506 valley point concentrations in 5 liver transplanted recipients at different postoperative periods .Based on the results combined with clinical findings, the dosages were adjusted.The accuracy of the method and guidance action in FK506 clinical application were described.RESULTS: In 131 detections of 350 samples, the results of quality control samples were all in the control range .The detecting RSDs of high and low concentration quality control samples were 9.09% and 11.90%, respectively.The control range of FK506 concentrations in whole blood were similar to that reported in literature .CONCLUSION :ELISA is a sensitive and specific method for routine FK506 concentration monitoring in whole blood,which is suitable for application in hospital.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for drug management in clinical trial process in hospital. METHODS:To summarize the common problems of current drug control in clinical trial process and analyze their harmfulness. Some countermeasures were put forward to resolve those problems. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:At present uniform management mode hasn’t been established for drug control in clinical trial institutions. Realizations on the importance of drug control are different from one another. There are several factors which affect clinical trials even result in undesirable consequence. The institution should formulate scientific,effective and practical management standards and operation process to improve the quality of drug control and ensure safety, scientificity and reliability of clinical trials.

Objective:To investigate the breakthrough points and methods of pharmaceutical care performed by clinical pharma-cists for chemotherapy-induced Ⅳ degree myelosuppression. Methods: One advanced lung adenocarcinoma patient suffering from IV degree myolosuppression after being treated with pemetrexed combined with nedaplatin was selected as the example, and the chemother-apy regimen, the cause and treatment of IV degree myolosuppression and the pharmaceutical service could be carried out were ana-lyzed. Results: With the help of clinical pharmacists, the patient conquered chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression, and clinical pharmacists enhanced the awareness of pharmaceutical care and played a positive role in the safe and effective drug use. Conclusion:The participation of clinical pharmacists in clinical pharmaceutical care through providing pharmaceutical service is beneficial to safer and more effective drug therapy.

BACKGROUND:It is still a research focus on constructing substitution of the human tissues and organs, or producing the alliance for grafting by engineering methods in tissue engineering. Among these researches, it is pivotal to choose appropriate materials. The prepared scaffolds should have suitable tensile strength and mechanical toughness to withstand the various outside forces without being damaged. So, it is very necessary to evaluate the biomechanical properties of candidated materials in tissue engineering, which can supply the references for selecting materials for tissue scaffolds and their designation.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the biomechanical properties of nine kinds of scaffold materials, in order to supply a biomechanical basis for the selection and design of scaffold materials for tissue engineering.DESIGN: A repetitive measurement study.SETTING: College of Bioengineering, Chongqing University.MATERIALS: The materials involved in this study were poly (DL-lactic-co - glycolic acid) (PLGA), sodium polymannuronate, gelatine, chitosan, collagen, acellular porcine dermis (APD), acellular vascular matrix (AVM),APD-PLGA, AVM-PLGA, modified gelatine and chitosan.METHODS: All the experiments related to this study were completed in the Biorheology laboratory of the College of Bioengineering, Chongqing University from April 2006 to March 2007. The nine materials above were prepared, gelatine and chitosan were modified. Stress-strain testing was performed at 10 mm per minute by a material testing machine (INSTRON 1011, USA). The Yang's modulus was calculated in the range of 0.005 to 0.02, the ultimate strain and stress were also obtained.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The ultimate strain, ultimate stress and Yang's modulus of the nine materials were analyzed.polymannuronate ＞ AVM-PLGA ＞ collagen ＞ gelatine (P ＜ 0.05). The rate of burst straining of chitosan and PLGA were greater than those of other materials, 133% and 276% respectively (P ＜ 0.05). In addition, after being combined with ultimate stresses of APD and APD-PLGA were greater than that of other materials, i.e., their burst strengths were greater than those of other materials. The data also indicated that the burst strength of APD-PLGA was a little greater than that of APD (P ＞ 0.05). The burst strengths of gelatin, chitosan, and collagen were similar at the range of 7.67 to 9.51 MPa (P ＞ 0.05). The burst strengths of collagen and sodium polymannuronate were from 1.16 to 1.40 MPa, which were the least among all the materials. At the same time, being combined with PLGA, the burst strength of AVM-PLGA greatest, i.e., its rigidity was the greatest. The rigidity of APD was the least. After combined with PLGA, the rigidity of AVM and APD were increased (P ＜ 0.05), and corresponded with PLGA (P＞ 0.05). Except for gelatin, the order of rigidity in the materials was AVM-PLGA ＞ PLGA ＞ APD-PLGA ＞ AVM ＞ chitosan ＞ sodium polymannuronate ＞ collagen ＞ APD.CONCLUSION: AVM and APD have good biomechanical properties, which are very different from the water-soluble collagen. It is promising to improve the biomechanical properties of sodium polymannuronate, gelatin and chitosan by the complex of PLGA.
