Mobile internet terminals were connected to the pharmacy of the hospital to improve the outpatient pharmacy process, building an internet-based pharmacy service model for general tertiary hospitals. This model covered the entire outpatient service, ranging from registration, payment and dispensary at the hospital. It significantly enhanced the efficiency, namely 80. 8% less time for payment, not to mention the free delivery and no waiting time for dispensary.

OBJECTIVE:To deepen clinical pharmacy work and train special clinical pharmacists in the cardiovascular department.METHODS:Clinical pharmacy working mode approved by clinical staff and patients was established for pharmacists by participating in clinical staff's routine work.RESULTS & CONCLUSION:The system of special clinical pharmacists can help improve clinical pharmacists' approval degree and bring their role into full play in drug treatment and pharmaceutical information service.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of age and gender on the position of termination of the conus medullaris (CMT).MethodsOne thousand three hundred and thirty-nine patients aged 4-89 yr scheduled for lumbar magnetic resonance imaging examination were selected.The position of CMT was determined using Visart 1.5 T or Magnetom Trio 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging instrument.Results Five hundred and ninety-four male patients and 745 female patients were enrolled in the study.There was no significant difference in the percentage of CMT located at the L2,3 intervertebral disc level between female (1.2％) and male (0.5％) patients (P＞0.05),and female patients had a lower mean CMT than male patients (P＜0.01).There was no correlation between age and mean CMT in patients aged ≤19 yr (P＞ 0.05).There was a positive correlation between age and mean CMT in female patients aged≤20 yr (r =0.076,P＜0.05),but there was no correlation between age and mean CMT in male patients aged ≤ 20 yr (P＞0.05 ).ConclusionFemale patients have a lower mean CMT than male patients,and there is still a risk when performing spinal anesthesia,although the probability that CMT located at the L2,3 intervertebral disc level is low in female and male patients.The position of CMT is lower with increased age in adult female patients,but it is not related to age in adult male patients.

[Summary] Osteoporosis in elderly women are commonly accompanied by elevated levels of ferritin. Abnormal iron metabolism plays a key role in the progress of osteoporosis. Research on bone metabolic disorders caused by iron accumulation remains at the exploratory stage, including NF-κB pathway in differentiation of osteoclasts. A review on the relationship between NF-κB pathway and osteoporosis induced by iron accumulation is herewith presented, with a view to provide further ideas for transforming the clinical outcomes.

Objective To investigate the treatment of combined subclavian artery and brachial plexus injury. Methods Since 1994, we have treated 5 cases of combined subclavian artery and brachial plexus injury. 2 of them were cut wound, 1 gun shot wound, and 2 blunt trauma. 2 cases had combined aneurysm and 1 had combined aneurysm plus A V fistula. According to the sites of subclavian artery injury, vein graft( 1 case) , suture repair( 1 cases) and ligation (1 case) were performed. The 2 cases of blunt trauma underwent only neurolysis because of masses of hematoma and tissue adhesion. Results The 3 cases of open injury who had underwent early repair of artery and nerve had various degrees of recovery of nerve functions and experienced no pain in the injured extremities. As for the 2 cases of blunt trauma, 1 got only pain relief and 1 had no recovery. Conclusion Dysfunction due to hematoma or progressive pseudoaneurysm compression on the brachial plexus can be relieved and patients can get maximal rehabilitation if hematoma or aneurysm is managed in time and the brachial plexus nerve is decompressed early.

BACKGROUND: Artificial lumbar disc replacement is a novel approach to treat lumbar disc protrusion. But its theoreticalbasis needs further verification.OBJECTIVE:To establish finite element model of lumbar disc replacement for biomechanical studies.DESIGN: A single sample study taking the data of L4-5 three-dimensional infinite element model as object of research.SETTING: Orthopedic Department of Xiangya Hospital of SunYat-sen University.PARTICIPANTS: The trial was conducted in the Laboratory of the Orthopedic Department of Xiangya Hospital from December 2003 through August 2004. A healthy male volunteer served as simulation. His T12-S1 underwent continuous CT scanning. There were altogether 264 images with 2 mm inthickness each. Three-dimensional images were reconstructed every 15° in order to obtain the data for three-dimensional model.METHODS: The CT images and human anatomical data were processed by 3DSMAX software to establish three-dimensional L4-5 model of normal Chinese males. It was then transformed to finite element model after processed by SAP2000 software together with Charite SB Ⅲ disc prosthesis model.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The three-dimensional model and finiteelement model of lumbar spine were successfully established.RESULTS: The finite element model of Charite SB Ⅲ disc replacement in L4_5 spine was established. The total nodes were 2542 and there were 1924Solid units, 592 Area units and 50 link units.CONCLUSION:The finite element model of artificial disc replacement can be established by CT scanning, digital processor and computer aideddesign,and used for further study on spinal biomechanics.

BACKGROUND: Some scholars have used finite element analysis to simulate spinal biodynamics. But there are few reports on finite element imitation of lumbar biodynamics system before and after artificial disc replacement. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to do finite element analysis by establishing new three dimensional finite element models of SB-Chaite Ⅲ lumbar disc replacement. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The observational experiments were performed at the Laboratory of Orthopaedics of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from December 2003 to August 2004. PARTICIPANT: A healthy male volunteer served as simulation. His T12-S1 underwent continuous CT scanning. There were altogether 264 images with 2 mm in thickness each. Three-dimensional images were reconstructed every 15? in order to obtain the data for three-dimensional model. METHODS: The CT images and human anatomical data were processed by 3DSMAX software to establish three-dimensional L4-5 model of normal Chinese males. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: It was transformed to finite element model after processed by SAP2000 software together with SB-Chaite Ⅲ disc prosthesis model. RESULTS: The three-dimensional model and finite element model of lumbar spine were successfully established. The finite element model of SB-Chaite Ⅲ disc replacement in L4-5 spine was established. The total nodes were 2 542, including 1 924 Solid units, 592 Area units and 50 Link units. CONCLUSION: The finite element model of artificial disc replacement can be established by CT scanning, digital processor and computer aided design.
