OBJECTIVE:To control the drug quality risk in drug withdrawal links of hospital pharmacy,and provide reference for the application of quality risk management(QRM)in hospital pharmacy. METHODS:Drug QRM was developed in drug with-drawal links through risk identification,risk assessment,risk control,risk assessment and other steps. Using the incidence of risk factors and reusable rate of withdrawal drug as indexes,related data of before(Jul.-Dec. 2015)and after(Jan.-Jun. 2016)devel-oping QRM in our hospital were compared to evaluate the effect of drug QRM. RESULTS:Determining whether specific storage drugs kept the required storage conditions,whether the numbers of withdrawal drugs counted to minimal packaging and other 5 fac-tors were high-risk factors(the risk score of each factor>4 points);control measures were taken separately for high risk factors, then high-risk factors were reduced to acceptable levels(risk score<4 points). After developing QRM,the incidence of risk factors were reduced than before(reduce 1.35%-6.19%),reusable rate of withdrawal drug was increased(98.64% vs. 86.32%)(all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Developing QRM in drug withdrawal links of hospital pharmacy can reduce the drug quality risk.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect and safety of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) in treatment of lung cancer chemotherapy-related anemia.MethodsNinety-eight lung cancer chemotherapy-related anemia patients were divided into treatment group and control group with 49 cases each by random digits table method.The patients in treatment group were given rhEPO and chalybeate.The patients in control group were merely given chalybeate.The hemoglobin (Hb),hematocrit,allogeneic blood transfusion rate and quality of life between two groups were observed and compared.ResultsThree cases were rejected in treatment group,and 3 cases with anergy and dizzy and 2 cases with local injection site pain and sclerosis recovered spontaneously.Hb and hematocrit showed downward trend after treatment in control group,but there was no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).Hb and hematocfit had upgrade trend after treatment in treatment group,and there were significant differences between after 4 - 8 months treatment and before treatment (P ＜ 0.05 ).The allogeneic blood transfusion rate was 24.5％ (12/49) in control group and 6.5％ (3/46) in treatment group,and there was significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05 ).The quality of life in treatment group was increased compared with that in control group.There were significant differences in the effective rate after 4 or 8 weeks treatment between two groups [52.2％(24/46) vs.6.1％(3/49) and 95.7％ (44/46) vs.20.4％ ( 10/49 )].ConclusionsrhEPO is effective and safe in treatment of lung cancer chemotherapy-related anemia.rhEPO has little adverse reaction and can improve the quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system(LNG-IUS)for the treatment of dysmenorrhea associated with adenomyosis.Methods We recruited 48 women with moderate or severe dysmenorrhea associated with adenomyosis.All women were inserted of LNG-IUS into their uterine cavity from days 5-7 of their periods and maintained for 12 months.We compared the visual analogue scale(VAS)scores and verbal rating scale(VRS)scores of their dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia at baseline and 12 monthes follow-up.Results Forty-four women completed the study. There were significant differences between mean VAS and VRS scores changes of dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia at baseline and 12 monthes follow-up,those of dysmenorrhea dropping from 75?13 to 11?11 and 2.3?0.4 to 0.4?0.3,those of dyspareunia dropping from 54?19 to 4?4 and from 1.6?0.8 to 0.2?0.2 respectively.Overall 29 women(66%)were very satisfied or satisfied with the one-year treatment. Conclusion Insertion of LNG-IUS alleviates moderate or severe dysmenorrhea associated with adenomyosis remarkably.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the drug placement in the automated drug dispensing machine to improve work efficien-cy. METHODS:Based on the principle of the minimum time algorithm,the drug which would be used at a high frequency was placed in the drug storage tank nearest to the drug outlet. Meanwhile,the rule of drug use was drawn from the information on a large number of prescriptions,based on which the drugs correlated with each other were placed in the drug storage tanks that were adjacent. With daily time it takes to add drugs,average time it takes to make up a prescription and the maximum number of drugs stored as the evaluated indexes,the initial drug placement in the automated drug dispensing machine was optimized. The changes in the indexes within 3 months before and after the above-mentioned optimization were statically analyzed. RESULTS:After calculat-ing the three-dimensional sizes of the packages of drugs and the dispensing frequency data of the previous year,354 drugs were se-lected and placed in the nearer or farther storage tanks in the automated dispensing machine according to the dispensing frequency and the correlation among them. After the optimization of the placement,daily time it takes to add drugs reduced by 54 min(218 vs. 165 min)on average,average time it takes to make up a prescription reduced by 8 s(24 vs.16 s)and the maximum number of drugs stored increased by 1 333 boxes(13 113 vs. 14 446 boxes)on average. There was statistical significance in differences(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The initial drug placement in the automated drug dispensing machine that was optimized by minimum time algorithm has reduced daily time it takes to add drugs and average time it takes to make up a prescription and increased the maximum number of drugs stored and thus improved work efficiency.

Objective To explore the relationship of GFAP, NDKA and PARK7 serum concentrations of patients with IS, and their diagnose and prognosis value in IS. MethodsThe serum concentrations of GFAP, NDKA and PARK7 were detected in 37 IS patients, 28 ICH patients and and 30 healthy persons by ELISA. These indexes of patients were detected in 12 hours, 3 d and 14th day after onset of ischemic stroke. Their neurological injury status were also evaluated by MESSS at corresponding time points, and their activities of daily living were evaluated by BI at 14 d discharge from hospitaL At the same time, the diagnostic efficiency was analysed for IS using the three biomarkers and the combined detection. ResultsIn IS group, the serum concentrations of GFAP in 12 hours, 3rd and 14th day after onset were (5. 49 ±2. 25 )μg,/L, (5. 17 ± 2. 29) μg/L and (5. 96 ± 2.39 ) μg/L, respectively. The serum concentrations of NDKA were 9. 15(6.28 -12.79) μg/L, 9. 13(6.31 - 12.23) μg/L, 9.31(6.40 - 11.83) μg/L respectively,and the serum concentrations of PARK7 were (32. 71 ±6. 34 ) μg/L, (31.23 ±6. 04) μg/L, (32. 79 ±6. 94) μg/L respectively. The serum levels of GFAP, NDKA and PARK were respectively (4. 62 ± 1. 56)μg/L, 4. 24(3. 30 -5. 61 ) μg/L, ( 14. 25 +2. 65) μg/L in healthy control group. The levels in IS groups were remarkably increased compared with the healthy control group except the level of GFAP in the 3rd day (t = 1. 129, P＞0. 05). The levels in other time points were significantly different between patients group and healthy control. t value of GFAP were respectively 2. 642, 1. 870,P＜0. 05; Z value of NDKA were 6. 173, 6.100, 6.278,P ＜0. 01; t value of PARK7 were 14.964, 15.367,16.060, P ＜0. 01. The specificity and sensitivity of the individual detection for diagnosis of IS was 46. 7％ (14/30) and 81.1％( 30/37 ) for GFAP, 90. 0％ ( 27/30 ) and 78.4％ ( 29/37 ) for NDKA, 96. 7％ (29/30) and 97.3％ ( 36/37 )for PARK7. The specificity and sensitivity for combined detection of 3 biomarkers was 96. 7％ (29/30) and 100％ (37/37). The combined detection achieved better specificity and sensitivity. Moreover, the risk of IS with higher level GFAP was 1. 3 times that of the controls ( OR = 1. 300, P = 0. 044 ). The risk of higher NDKA was 1.7 times higher( OR = 1. 668, P = 0. 036 ). The risk of higher PARK7 was 1.8 times higher (OR = 1. 809, P =0. 005 ). The serum levels of GFAP were significantly different between IS and ICH in 12 h(t= 4.097, P=0.000). The serum concentrations of GFAP, NDKA and PARK7 were positively correlated with MESSS score at different time points. In IS, r value were 0. 534, 0. 482, 0. 357 , P ＜ 0. 05at less than 12 h; r value were 0.433, 0.487, 0. 299,P value were 0. 007, 0. 002, 0.073 at 3 d;r value were 0. 394, 0. 200, 0. 084,P value were 0.016, 0. 236, 0.620 at 14 d. And the serum levels of GFAP,NDKA and PARK7 were negatively correlated with BI score at 14th day, r value were -0. 430, -0. 321,-0.076,P value were 0.044,0.050,0.657. Conclusions The concentrations of GFAP, NDKA and PARK7 in serum are closely related with IS. The increased seruro levels of these indexes are risk factors in IS. The detection of these indexes could be helpful for the early diagnosis, timely treatment and prognosis assessment for IS.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Bu-Shen-An-Tai recipe (BSATR) and its two components (Bushen recipe, and Huoxue recipe) on endometrial morphology during peri-implantation in superovulated mice. Mice were randomly divided into five groups, including the normal (N), model (M), Bushen (BS), Huoxue (HX) and Bu-Shen-An-Tai (BH) groups. The uteri were collected on day 4 of pregnancy, and the endometrium thickness, microvessel density (MVD) and number of pinopodes observed. Compared with the M group, the endometrial thickness in the BS, HX and BH groups was significantly increased and there was a significant difference in endometrial thickness between the BS and the BH groups. The mean MVD was significantly lower in the M group than in the N group, and there was a significant increase in MVD in the BS, HX and BH groups as compared with the M group. Compared with the M group, the pinopode scores in the endometrium were significantly increased in the HX and BH groups; and the BS group had significantly higher pinipode scores than the HX and BH groups. In conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrated that the recipes (Bushen, Huoxue and BSATR) could improve the endometrial environment by regulating the endometrial thickness, MVD and the number of pinopodes at the window of implantation. Moreover, the Huoxue recipe and the BSATR were more efficient than the Bushen recipe, with the BSATR tending to have the most beneficial effects.

Objective: To build up rabbit models of hepatic cirrhosis in through common bile duct partial ligation (CBDPL). Methods: Male New Zealand rabbits were subjected to CBDPL to induce hepatic cirrhosis. The liver biopsies were performed during the surgery and after sacrifice to evaluate hepatic fibrosis. The serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), total protein (TP) and albumin (ALB) were determined at week 0, 1, 2, 4 and 11 following the occlusion. Results: There were two kinds of morphological and histological manifestations after CBDPL, the one was inconspicuous hepatic fibrosis coexisted with sacculation-like bile ductal dilation and muddy stone; the other is remarkable hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis along with uneven bile ductal dilation. The serum levels of ALT, AST, TBIL and DBIL were significantly higher after one week of operation. The levels of ALT, AST, TP and ALB decreased after two-week of operation, and the levels of TBIL and DBIL were returned to the normal level after two-week of operation. Conclusion: The animal models of hepatic cirrhosis can be built up through CBDPL in rabbits.
