OBJECTIVE:To explore the new method for clinical pharmacists training,and provide reference for improving the quality of clinical pharmacists training. METHODS:Based on the full-awareness of Definition and characteristics of stage-progres-sive learning(SPL)and problem-based learning(PBL)teaching method,SPL-PBL teaching method was used in the teaching of the-oretical and clinical practice in the process of students training in clinical pharmacist training base. The teaching course of theoreti-cal knowledge was mainly SPL in first half and PBL in another half. While in the clinical practice teaching of ward rounds,check-ing doctor's advice,participation in the development of treatment programs and case discussion,PBL was mainly used interspersed by SPL;SPL was mainly in inquiry,pharmaceutical care and medication education interspersed by PBL. RESULTS:SPL-PBL teaching method had not only effectively aroused the enthusiasm of the students'learning,enhanced the sense of responsibility and improved their clinical professional knowledge and practice ability,but also strengthened the cultivation of students communication ability,document retrieval ability,writing communication ability and self-learning ability(four abilities) to make students more quickly into the role and improve their subjective initiative. CONCLUSIONS:Practice has proved that the SPL-PBL teaching meth-od not only gives consideratin to the inndividual differences among studengts,but also mobilizes the enthusiam,and not only gives consideration to the teaching about basic theoretical knowledge,but also strengthens the training for clinical thingkig andfour abili-ties,wich can be used for the clinical pharmacists training. Meanwhile,SPL has expanded the aplication surface of PBL beacuse that SPL has reduced the requirements of PBL for overall qulity. However,it needs to be improved because of the short time appli-cation.

Objective To identify allergens in portunus trituberculatus responsible for atopic dermatitis (AD) in children.Methods Totally,145 child outpatients with AD were enrolled in this study from September 2013 to July 2014,and underwent the skin prick test (SPT) with crab proteins or crab-specific IgE determination assay.Then,the children with positive SPT or elevated IgE levels underwent an oral challenge with portunus trituberculatus.Serum samples were collected from 33 children with a positive oral food challenge (test group) and from 30 health check-up child examinees (control group).Total proteins were extracted from fresh portunus trituberculatus.Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blot were conducted to identify the protein fragments of portunus trituberculatus responsible for AD among these children.Results The SDS-PAGE of crude protein extracts from portunus trituberculatus yielded 11 protein bands with relative molecular masses of 94 000,70 000,58 000,49 000,36 000,34 000,32 000,27 000,21 000,19 000 and 17 000 respectively.Of the 11 protein bands,only 4 with relative molecular masses of 70 000,58 000,49 000 and 36 000 respectively reacted with sera from the patients by Western blot,with the reaction rate being 93.9％,45.4％,39.4％ and 100％ respectively.None of these protein bands reacted with sera from the control group by Western blot.There were significant differences between the test group and control group in the reaction rates of the four proteins with relative molecular masses of 70 000,58 000,49 000 and 36 000 respectively to sera (x2 =55.483,17.898,14.891,63.000,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The two proteins with relative molecular masses of 70 000 and 36 000 respectively are major allergens in portunus trituberculatus responsible for AD among children.

OBJECTIVETo develop an HPLC method for the determination of plasma concentration of jasminoidin and study the pharmacokinetics of jasminoidin in rabbits administered Xingnaojing naristillae by nasal medication.

METHODAfter sampling blood from the left arteria carotis of rabbits which were administered Xingnaojing naristillae medication by nasal by 12 mg x kg(-1) (counted by gardenia extract) at 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 240 min, the plasma samples were dealt with acetonitrile precipitation and HPLC was used to determine the plasma concentration of jasminoidin. The pharmacokinetic parameters were computed by Kinetica software.

RESULTThe calibration curve was linear (r = 0.999 6) within the range of 0.136 5-2.73 mg x L(-1) for jasminoidin in plasma. The average recovery was (97.14 +/- 3.78)%, (95.06 +/- 2.95)%, (91.50 +/- 1.82)%. The within-day and between-day precision met the requirements, because the RSD were both less than 4%. Jasminoidin was fitted to a two-compartment open pharmacokinetic model in rabbits. The mainly pharmacokinetic parameters were: C(max) = (2.013 +/- 0.563) mg x L(-1), T(max) = (6.405 +/- 1.764) min, K(e) = (0.032 5 +/- 0.013 3) min(-1), CL = (0.059 3 +/- 0.0246) L x min(-1) x kg(-1), AUC = (116.89 +/- 50.19) mg x min(-1) x L(-1), MRT = (84.447 +/- 19.420) min.

CONCLUSIONThe method can be used to determine the concentration and to investigate the pharmacokinetics of jasminoidin in rabbits. Jasminoidin was absorbed rapidly by nasal medication and has a good perspective.

In recent years, the rapid increase in cancer treatment costs in China had brought a huge economic burden to society, and it was urgent to standardize the rational application of anti-tumor drugs. In the context of the reform of group payment related to disease diagnosis, a tertiary first-class hospital focused on the needs of patients and guided by value-based healthcare, established a professional and normalized refined anti-tumor drug management system, setted up a multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment team, and promoted " Internet plus pharmaceutical services" in December 2018.From 2019 to 2021, the proportion of hospital drugs were 30.8%, 30.1%, and 27.3%, respectively. The amount of money spent on anti-tumor drugs were 83.25 million yuan, 76.41 million yuan, and 62.48 million yuan, respectively, showing a decreasing trend year by year. The practice of refined management of anti-tumor drugs fully reflected the core concept of value based healthcare, achieving closed-loop management of the entire process of drugs, improving the level of rational drug use, reducing the economic burden on patients, and providing reference for improving the level of rational use of anti-tumor drugs in public hospitals.

Objective:To develop a robotic digestive endoscope system (RDES) and to evaluate its feasibility, safety and control performance by experiments.Methods:The RDES was designed based on the master-slave control system, which consisted of 3 parts: the integrated endoscope, including a knob and button robotic control system integrated with a gastroscope; the robotic mechanical arm system, including the base and arm, as well as the endoscopic advance-retreat control device (force-feedback function was designed) and the endoscopic axial rotation control device; the control console, including a master manipulator and an image monitor. The operator sit far away from the endoscope and controlled the master manipulator to bend the end of the endoscope and to control advance, retract and rotation of the endoscope. The air supply, water supply, suction, figure fixing and motion scaling switching was realized by pressing buttons on the master manipulator. In the endoscopy experiments performed on live pigs, 5 physicians each were in the beginner and advanced groups. Each operator operated RDES and traditional endoscope (2 weeks interval) to perform porcine gastroscopy 6 times, comparing the examination time. In the experiment of endoscopic circle drawing on the inner wall of the simulated stomach model, each operator in the two groups operated RDES 1∶1 motion scaling, 5∶1 motion scaling and ordinary endoscope to complete endoscopic circle drawing 6 times, comparing the completion time, accuracy (i.e. trajectory deviation) and workload.Results:RDES was operated normally with good force feedback function. All porcine in vivo gastroscopies were successful, without mucosal injury, bleeding or perforation. In beginner and advanced groups, the examination time of both RDES and ordinary endoscopy tended to decrease as the number of operations increased, but the decrease in time was greater for operating RDES than for operating ordinary endoscope (beginner group P=0.033; advanced group P=0.023). In the beginner group, the operators operating RDES with 1∶1 motion scaling or 5∶1 motion scaling to complete endoscopic circle drawing had shorter completion time [1.68 (1.40, 2.17) min, 1.73 (1.47, 2.37) min VS 4.13 (2.27, 5.16) min, H=32.506, P<0.001], better trajectory deviation (0.50±0.11 mm, 0.46±0.11 mm VS 0.82±0.26 mm, F=38.999, P<0.001], and less workload [42.00 (30.00, 50.33) points, 43.33 (35.33, 54.00) points VS 52.67 (48.67, 63.33) points, H=20.056, P<0.001] than operating ordinary endoscope. In the advanced group, the operators operating RDES with 1∶1 or 5∶1 motion scaling to complete endoscopic circle drawing had longer completion time than operating ordinary endoscope [1.72 (1.37, 2.53) min, 1.57 (1.25, 2.58) min VS 1.15 (0.86, 1.58) min, H=13.233, P=0.001], but trajectory deviation [0.47 (0.13, 0.57) mm, 0.44 (0.39, 0.58) mm VS 0.52 (0.42, 0.59) mm, H=3.202, P=0.202] and workload (44.62±21.77 points, 41.24±12.57 points VS 44.71±17.92 points, F=0.369, P=0.693) were not different from those of the ordinary endoscope. Conclusion:The RDES enables remote control, greatly reducing the endoscopists' workload. Additionally, it gives full play to the cooperative motion function of the large and small endoscopic knobs, making the control more flexible. Finally, it increases motion scaling switching function to make the control of endoscope more flexible and more accurate. It is also easy for beginners to learn and master, and can shorten the training period. So it can provide the possibility of remote endoscopic control and fully automated robotic endoscope.

BackgroundThere exist differences in the subjective and objective cognitive functions of patients with depressive disorder， ane there are limited research on influencing factors of such phenomenon currently. ObjectiveTo explore the differences in subjective and objective cognitive function in patients with depressive disorder as well as influencing factors， and to provide references for further understanding of cognitive impairment in patients with depressive disorder. MethodsA total of 77 patients with depressive disorder who received outpatient or inpatient treatment in the Fourth People's Hospital of Chengdu from January 13， 2022 to December 11， 2023 were selected for the study. These patients also met the diagnostic criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fifth edition（DSM-5）. Various tools were employed to assess patients in this study： Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale （MADRS） for the depressive symptoms， Perceived Deficits Questionnaire for Depression （PDQ-D） and Chinese Version of Brief Neurocognitive Test Battery （C-BCT） for the subjective and objective cognitive function， Sheehan Disability Scale （SDS） for the social function， and Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness（CGI-SI） for the severity of patient's condition. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation of subjective and objective cognitive function and their differences with age， years of education， MADRS total score， SDS total score， and CGI-SI score. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the influencing factors of the differences between subjective and objective cognitive function. ResultsThere was a statistically significant difference in the total PDQ-D scores and the difference of subjective and objective cognitive function （D value） between depressive patients with and without medication （t=-4.228， -2.392， P<0.05 or 0.01）. There was no statistically significant correlation in subjective and objective cognitive function in patients with depressive disorder （r=-0.148， P>0.05）. Negative correlations can be observed between the PDQ-D total score and age or years of education （r=-0.333， -0.369， P<0.01）. The PDQ-D total score was positively correlated with MADRS total score， SDS total score and CGI-SI score （r=0.487， 0.637， 0.434， P<0.01）. D value was negatively correlated with age and years of education （r=-0.411， -0.362， P<0.01）， while positively correlated with MADRS total score， SDS total score and CGI-SI score （r=0.259， 0.468， 0.299， P<0.05 or 0.01）. Age （β=-0.328， P<0.01） and SDS total score （β=0.409， P<0.01） were two predictive factors for D value. ConclusionThe difference between subjective and objective cognitive function among patients with depressive disorder is related to several factors including age， years of education， severity of symptoms and impairment of social function. ［Funded by Surface Project of National Natural Science Foundation of China （number， 62173069）； Technological Innovation 2030-Major Project of "Brain Science and Brain-Like Research" （number， 2022ZD0211700）； Key R&D Support Program and Major Application Demonstration Project of Chengdu Science and Technology Bureau （number， 2022-YF09-00023-SN）］
