OBJECTIVE:To enhance our understanding on drug interactions and promote rational drug use.METHODS:The problems of drug interactions appeared in rational use of traditional Chinese medicines in our hospital were analyzed.RESULTS & CONCLUSION:People in China had a poor cognition on drug interactions in rational use of traditional Chinese medicines,and the drug interactions should be studied from multiple angles,meanwhile,our cognition concept should be changed and the concerned government and medical personal should attach great importance to this matter;clinical pharmacist system should be pushed forward and pharmaceutical service mode should be reconstructed;research on drug interactions should be broadened and research in mechanism of action of drug interactions as well as the interactions between traditional Chinese medicine and western medicines should be strengthened;construction of information should be sped up and database of drug interactions should be set up;propagate education should be emphasized to elevate people's knowledge on medicine etc.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the manifestations of hospital irrational drug use.METHODS:By retrieving CNKI full - text data base from 1998 to 2008 with"hospital"and"irrational drug use"as keywords,a total of 23 research papers related to irrational drug use were obtained and which were summarized analytically.RESULTS:The irrational drug use in our hospital manifested predominantly as irrational usage and dosage and unreasonable compatibility of drugs followed by irrational selection of drugs,repeated drug use,non-medical error,and abuse of antibiotics or hormones.CONCLUSION:In view of the above manifestations,it is urgent to take full consideration of the hospital pharmaceutical administration system in China and take multi - sided scientific intervention countermeasures so as to effectively improve the level of rational drug use in our hospital.

Objective: To establish the quality standard for compound Heishen pills. Methods: Scrophulariae Radix, Radix et Rhizoma and Belamcancae Rhizoma were identified by TLC. HPLC was used to determine the content of harpagoside and cinnamic acid in Scrophulariae Radix on a Welchrom-C18 column using methanol-acetonitrile-1% ethylic acid (8∶21∶71) as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1 . The column temperature was at 30℃ and the detection wavelength was set at 278 nm. Results:The TLC method had good specificity without interference from negative control. The linear range of harpagoside was 1. 32-65. 80μg·ml-1 with the average recovery of 98. 06%(RSD=2. 16%),and that of cinnamic acid was 0. 38-19. 20 μg·ml-1 with the average recovery of 98. 78%(RSD=1. 34%). RSDs of precision, stability and reproductibility tests were all below 2%. Conclusion: The established method is accurate, feasible and reproducible. It can be used in the quality control of compound Heishen pills.

BACKGROUND:Whether determination of tacrolimus blood concentration by different immunoassay methods can influence predictive ability to immunosuppressive effects and toxicity, and whether it can be more sensitive to reflect blood concentration in patients with renal dysfunction are worthy of studying.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the correlation of tacrolimus (FK506) concentrations determined by enzyme-multiplied immunoassay technique (EMIT) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in combination with renal function parameters.
METHODS:133 clinical blood samples were col ected. EMIT and ELISA techniques were used to determine the FK506 concentration. The correlation of two determination methods were analyzed, combined with renal function. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In patients with renal dysfunction, the mean results and standard deviation mensurated by ELISA were higher than those by EMIT. For blood concentration in 5-20μg/L by ELISA, the incidence of renal dysfunction occurred less than by EMIT. The overal mean results of blood concentration for two methods appeared no significant difference (r=0.904 5, P>0.05). When the concentration was less than 2.0μg/L, the concentration results by EMIT were higher than those by ELISA (P<0.01). When the concentration was more than 2.0μg/L, there was no significant difference between two determination methods (P>0.05). These findings indicate that EMIT and ELISA has good correlation, which are both suitable for clinical routine determination of plasma concentration. It is not recommended for applying EMIT method to determine low blood concentrations (<2.0μg/L). The reference range of concentration should be compartmentalized depending on combination of determination methods and renal function.
