Objective To explore the pharmaceutical care approaches for patients with lung cancer complicated with renal insufficiency receiving pemetrexed chemotherapy. Methods An elderly patient with lung cancer complicated with renal insufficiency receiving pemetrexed chemotherapy faced inevitable safety risks.Clinical pharmacists considered it as an intervention point, and provided individual pharmaceutical care. Results Clinical pharmacists fully assessed the safety risks of the case receiving pemetrexed chemotherapy with clinicians, assisted in improving the therapeutic regimen, and carried out medication education for the patient. No serious adverse drug reactions occurred in the patient, and anti-tumor efficacy was obtained. Conclusion For patients of lung cancer complicated with renal insufficiency receiving pemetrexed chemotherapy, clinical pharmacists should focus on creatinine clearance rate, and decide whether the combined use of platinum anti-tumor drugs, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and zoledronic acid can be adopted, and follow-up on adverse drug reactions and anti-tumor efficacy.

In this paper, 17 autopsy cases of poisoning by toxic plants: mushroom 4, xanthium sibiricum 3, trichosanthes kirilowii 2, aconitum chinense 3, tripterygium wilfordii 1, gelsemium elegans 1, nerium indicum 1, pachyrhizus erosus 1, dioscorea simulans 1 were reported (accident 15, suicide 2). Emphasis was put on analyses of the selective injured locations, namely, target organs or tissues, which were poisoned by these poisonous plants. The machanisms of poisoning and causes of death were approached based on the pathological changes. The associated problems of forensic medicine were discussed summarily. On the basis of author's experiences, it is essential for medicolegal examination and expertise that the body should be systematically, completely, forensic-pathologically inspected and the species of questioned poisonous plants should be identified by the associated expert. Poisoning by toxic plants is one of often contacted and difficult problems in medicolegal expertise, so that we should pay attention to it.

1. 40 cadavers were dissected in order to observe the position and formation of the osteo-fibrous canal (384 canals) of the medial division of posterior ramus of lumbar nerves together with the occurrence of the articulo-accessory (process) ligament.2. The form of the external opening of the osteo-fibrous canal may be classified into three groups; nearly circular 35.1% (151); approximately ellipsoid 32.3% (124); crack detector 28.4% (109).3. The osteo-fibrous canal consists of four walls, bounded by mammillary process, accessory process, bony wall and superior articular process ligament respectively. According to the constitution of the anterior and posterior walls of the canal, it may be divided into three categories; osteo-aponeuroticoligamentous type 29.4% (113); osteo-membranous type 66.4% (255) and bony type 4.2% (16).4. The length and width of the superior articular process ligament were measured. The sexual difference of the lengths of L_(1～5) lumbar is significant.5. The sulcus between the superior articular process and the alar portion of the sacrum was observed and measured.6. The ligament on the posterior wall of the canal is nominated as the ligament of the superior articular process.7. Based on the anatomical structures thus studied, some clinical significances were discussed.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of surgery on treating multi-extensively drug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant pulmonary (XDR) tuberculosis (M/XDR-PTB) in order to provide the new approach for patients with M/XDR-PTB.Methods The information of 75 cases with M/XDRPTB were recorded and they were underwent thoracic surgery at the National Tuberculosis Center in Tbilisi,Georgia from October 2008 to February 2011.Results Of 75 patients,52 cases were MDR and 23 were XDR with PTB underwent adjunctive thoracic surgery.The following surgical procedures were performed including pneumonectomy(10％),lobectomy (51％),segmentectomy (33％).Median age was 30 years and average duration of preoperative M/XDR-PTB medical therapy was 350 days.Mean postoperative follow up period was 372 days.Of 72 patients with complete outcomes information,59 (82％) had favorable outcomes including 90％ of MDR and 68％ of XDR-TB patients.No postoperative death occurred,7 patients (9％) had postoperative complications.Univariate analysis showed that,compared with good treatment outcomes,risk factors of poor treatment outcomes included cavitary disease (62％ vs.27％,P =＞ 0.02),probability of suffering from XDR (62％ vs.27％,P =0.02),positive preoperative sputum culture (77％ vs.14％,P＜ 0.001),acceptance of sensitive drugs(1.9％ vs.2.8％,P =0.03) and major postoperative surgical complication (23％ vs.5％,P =0.03).Conclusion Patients with M/XDR-PTB undergoing adjunctive thoracic surgery show with high rates of favorable outcomes,and no surgical related death as well as the low complications rates.Adjunctive surgery appears to play an important role in the treatment of select patients with M/XDR-PTB.
