China Pharmacy 2016;27(23):3204-3206
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational drug use. METHODS:107 patients with drug-induced liver injury (DILI)admitted to liver disease department of our hospital during Jan. 2011 to Dec. 2015 were divided into TCM group and chemi-cal medicine group according to the type of medicine. DILI clinical characteristics,prognosis,medicine types of DILI were com-pared and analyzed between 2 groups. RESULTS:47 cases of DILI were induced by TCM,which mainly were health care and body beauty medicines(19.1%),rheumatism and arthritis medicines(14.9%)and dermatological medicines(10.6%). 60 cases of DILI were induced by chemical medicine,which mainly were antineoplastics(21.7%),antimicrobial(20.0%)and antituberculot-ics (11.7%). Gender,average age,the time from primary medication to disease attack and clinical classification were no signifi-cant difference between 2 groups(P>0.05). The clinical manifestations of the 2 groups were similar,except that fatigue was more common in the TCM group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The liver function indicators of TCM group as ALT,AST, TBIL and ALP were higher than those of chemical medicine group,while ALT and TBIL were significantly different between 2 groups(P<0.05). The liver injuries were more serious in the TCM group than in chemical medicine group,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05). After treatment,the prognosis and the prognosis of liver function indicator in 2 groups were not statistically sig-nificant(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Doctors and pharmacists should cooperate to master medication indication strictly,develop ADR monitoring and conduct blood concentration monitoring of high-risk DILI medicines,especially the hepatotoxicity of TCM so as to reduce the occurrence of DILI and guarantee the safety of clinical drug use.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of salt-hot compress based on the theory of“Maiweiji”on mechanical phlebitis after PICC catheterization. Methods According to random number table, 202 patients after PICC catheterization were divided into the control group including 100 cases and the experimental group including 102 cases. The study were divided into the prevention stage and the treatment stage. In the prevention stage, the control group were given routine nursing while the experimental group were received routine nursing plus salt-hot compress. In the treatment stage, all the patients in mechanical phlebitis after the prevention stage were randomly divided into the group of salt-hot and the group of wet-hot by lottery, meanwhile, the group of salt-hot were given salt-hot compress, the group of wet-hot were received wet-hot compress. Results In the prevention stage, the mechanical phlebitis rate of the experimental group was 8.82%(9/102), and it was 21%(21/100) in the control group, the difference had statistically significant (Z=-2.28, P<0.05). In the treatment stage, the cure rate in 3 days and 7 days of the Group of Wet-hot were 5/15 and 10/15, and were 9/15 and 6/15 in the Group of Salt-hot, the average treatment time were (3.71±1.82) d and (4.31±1.58) d respectively, but the difference had no statistically significant(P > 0.05). Conclusions Salt-hot compress has the positive effect of preventing mechanical phlebitis. Besides, the therapeutic effect on mechanical phlebitis between the group of salt-hot and the group of wet-hot is about the same. Because of the simple operation, bargain price, being not contaminated clothing, salt-hot compress is more advantage.
