Objective To study the conservative treatment for cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) with proper medications . Methods One case of CSP with uterine apoplexy was reported .Medication regimens were illustrated as the conservative treat-ments for the patient with β-HCG>20 000 IU/L ,in whom surgery was contraindicated .Results After two times of uterine artery embolization and chemotherapy (MTX50 mg) ,followed by three times of MTX50 mg cervical injection combined with oral mifepristone ,serumβ-HCG dropped to normal level and no adverse reactions were observed .Conclusion Clinical pharma-cists could strengthen the safety and effectiveness of rational drug use by participating in the integrated pharmacy care .

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag standard therapy in the treatment of patients with connective tissue disease (CTD) associated with thrombocytopenia who were non-responder to recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) or relapsed after discontinuation of rhTPO.Methods:Retrospectively analysis of clinical data of 4 cases presented with CTD associated with thrombocytopenia who were non-responder to rhTPO or relapsed after discontinuation of rhTPO, and then treated with eltrombopag from November 2017 to June 2022. The literature were reviewed on eltrombopag in the treatment of CTD associated with thrombocytopenia.Results:The platelet count of 4 patients increased to more than 30×10 9/L after 2 weeks administration of eltrombopag. The median time was 32 (14, 41) days for platelet counts returning to normal level. The dosage of eltrombopag was gradually reduced to maintain normal platelet count, which was helpful for tapering of glucocorticoid and other immunosuppressant. No adverse event was observed during the treatment. Conclusion:Eltrombopag is safe and effective for CTD associated with thrombocytopenia, for patients who are non-responders to rhTPO or relapsed after discontinuation of rhTPO treatment in particular.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) in Bozidun Kirghiz township of Xinjiang Aksu region, and to explore the risk factors for the occurrence of HUA in the local area.Methods:A cross-sectional survey study was conducted by randomly selecting 9 villages in Bozidun Kirgiz Township by the whole-group sampling method and questionnaire were distributed to the households. The questionnaire included: demographic information, history of past illness, personal history, and all subjects were measured for height, weight, blood pressure, abdominal circumference, etc. The diagnostic of HUA if the serum uric acid (SUA) level >420 μmol/L in men or >360 μmol/L in women. The incidences of HUA in different age, sex, food type and life style behavior were analyzed. T test, non-parametric test and Chi-square test were used to analyze the differences among the groups, and logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors. Results:①A total of 2 138 subjects were surveyed, among which 68 patients were with HUA, the prevalence of HUA in Bozidun Kirghiz township, Aksu region in the general population was 3.18%(68/2 138); the prevalence rate in men was 4.60%(45/978), 45 patients were identified; and the prevalence rate in women was 1.98%(23/1 160), 23 patients were identified. The peak age of HUA in male and female patients was 51~60 years old. ②The prevalence of HUA was lower in those who consumed dairy products ( χ2=6.91, P=0.017), nuts ( χ2=8.43, P=0.038) and eggs ( χ2=7.38, P=0.023), and lower in those who consumed more. Different intake of cereals ( χ2=0.87, P=0.647), meat( χ2=0.82, P=0.662), vegetables and fruits( χ2=5.22, P=0.073) had no effect on the prevalence of HUA.③In terms of different life behaviors, the prevalence of HUA in men who had been smoking was higher than those who had never smoked (57.78%, 28.89%, 13.33%, χ2=8.16, P=0.017). In the relationship between drinking and HUA, the prevalence rates of male always drinking, ever drinking and never drinking were 80.00%, 11.11% and 3.89%, respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.67, P=0.038). ④Multi-factor logistic regression analysis showed that high BMI, old age, high TG, increased Cr and increased WBC were risk factors for the occurrence of HUA [ OR(95% CI)=1.13(1.04, 1.23), 1.03(1.00,1.05),1.39(1.00, 1.93), 1.03(1.02, 1.05), 1.27(1.07, 1.49), all P<0.05]. Conclusion:The prevalence of HUA in Bozidun Kirgiz township in Aksu prefecture of Xinjiang is lower than that in other areas with continental climate. High BMI, old age, high TG, increased Cr and increased WBC count are risk factors for the development of HUA .
