Objective To compare the outcomes of off-pump versus on-pump CABG.Methods From 2002 to 2008,CABG was performed in 105 patients aged 80 years and over,including 45 without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or off-pump (OP) CABG (OPCAB) and 60 with CPB (onpump CABG).The outcomes were compared between two groups.Results The mean ICU stay was (37.1±30.3) h in OPCAB group and (60.6±58.2) h in on-pump CABG group (P＜0.01).Average ventilator-assisted time was (10.8±9.7) h for OPCAB group versus (22.3±35.7) h for onpump CABG group (P＜0.01).Postoperative atrial fibrillation occurred in 31.1％ of OPCABG patients and 41.7 ％ of on-pump CABG patients (P＜0.01).The mortality rate was 5.0％ in OPCABG group versus 8.3％ in on-pump CABG group (P＜0.05).Conclusions OPCABG is a safe and efficient method of myocardial revascularization in the elderly patients with lower morbidity and complications.

OBJECTIVE:To assess the ability of suppliers and manufacturers in dealing with drug quality problems so as to provide reference for hospital in optimizing future suppliers and manufacturers.METHODS:The drug quality registration form in drug storehouse in 2007 in our hospital was analyzed in respect of the quality of drugs which were classified into type A and type B.RESULTS:The A-type drug quality problems,i.e drug quality problems presented in the production of drugs, accounted for 28.6%,and B-type drug quality problems,i.e drug quality problems involved in circulation and use of drugs, accounted for 71.4%.CONCLUSIONS:Drug quality data analysis report can objectively reflect the overall condition of hospital drug quality and the drug quality of the suppliers,thus it can be used as reference for hospital in optimizing future drug manufacturing enterprises and suppliers.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference information for the adoptation of fast drug dispensing model in hospital pharmacy of China.METHODS:The procedure of fast drug dispensing system(FDDS)was analysed and compared with tradi?tional dispensing system in advantages and disadvantages.RESULTS:FDDS could raise the speed,accuracy of drug dispensing and improve the quality of pharmaceutical service.CONCLUSION:FDDS is suitable for drug dispensing in large-scale hospi?tals.

Objective To analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics of children with lupus nephritis(LN).Methods The data of 116 inpatients from Mar.2000 to Nov.2008 with LN were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical,immunochemical and pathological data were recorded.Renal tissue was observed by light microscopy and electron microscopy after HE,PAS,Masson and PASM staining according to WHO standards.Follow-up results showed complete remission,partial remission,disease activity,renal insufficiency and death.Results Of the 116 cases of LN,there were 27 male and 89 female with a ratio of male to female 1.03.3,and the mean age was(12.0?2.2) years.The incidence of nephrotic syndrome was 63.8 %(74 cases),and acute nephritis was 21.5%(25 cases).Class Ⅳ LN was the most frequent type(14 cases,50%) and classⅢ was next(25 cases,21.5%).In view of the outcome,rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and class Ⅳ LN were the worst.LN was initially controlled in 96.5% of the patients.Relapses of LN were most caused by the intermittent treatment.Totally 32 cases showed different renal injury,and 6 cases progressed to death.Conclusions Renal biopsy is important to diagnosis,treatment and prognosis evaluation of LN.Long and regular treatment is important for children with LN.

B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a receptor of B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS). Human IgG1Fc fusion proteins with the extracellular domain of BCMA(eBCMA), also called decoy receptors, have beenused as a potential BLyS antagonists to block BLyS activities. In order to design novel BLyS antagonistpeptides, computer-aided homologue modeling was used to construct an eBCMA-Fc fusion protein based on thecrystal structures of BCMA and Fc fragmant. To ensure the activity of eBCMA not to be interfered by Fcfusion, the root mean square distance (RMSD) for eBCMA and Fc were calculated to be 0.036 nm and 0.064nm, respectively, based on molecular docking modeling. An eBCMA-Fc fusion gene was constructed andintroduced into E. coli for expression. As expected, the purified 36 kD eBCMA-Fc fusion protein was able tobind BLyS in vitro at a dosage-dependent manner and demonstrated an anti-proliferative activity induced byBLyS in Daudi cells. The results have provided useful information on the evaluation of computer modeling andthe in vitro biological activity for the design of potential BLyS antagonist peptides.

OBJECTIVE:To improve the drug turnover rate and the work efficiency of drug storehouse,and to reduce the cost of drug storage. METHODS:Based on ABC dynamic classification,original drug procurement management module in HIS was im-proved. Scientific,accurate and reasonable drug procurement plan was generated by the system automatically through setting pro-curement proportion coefficient. Drug procurement by type was achieved through adding classification scanning function,based on distribution mode and drug property classification. Related index were compared before and after improvement to evaluate the ef-fects of the improvement. RESULTS:Compared with before improvement,average monthly inventory amount of drugs in our hos-pital reduced by 6.44%,turnover rate increased by 47.13%(increasing from 4.18% to 6.15%),and the time for developing pro-curement plan decreased by 75.00%(decreasing from 8 h to 2 h). CONCLUSIONS:The improvement of drug procurement man-agement module effectively reduce drug inventory and improve turnover rate of drugs and work efficiency.

OBJECTIVE:To guarantee the reliability of cold chain drug storage device and the quality of the drugs in the hospi-tal. METHODS:The establishment and effects of drug cold chain monitoring platform in our hospital were introduced as well as re-lated improvement and measures. RESULTS:The cold chain monitoring platform was established in our hospital through equipping with related equipment, constructing platform network, determining monitoring point, setting early warning condition, etc. All-weather and real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity were realized for different districts of the hospital and different cold chain equipments. The platform could provide the information about operating condition of equipment,and complete drug re-frigeration temperature record;equipment failure could be dissolved in time based on early warning message. Through analyzing rea-sons of early warning message,the unqualified equipment was updated in time,which further improve the system and procedure of cold chain monitoring platform. Within 2 years after the implementation of the platform,53 sets of special refrigerator for drug were updated. Monthly early warning message and the rate of refrigeration equipment early warning decreased from 6869 and 100% in Sept. 2014 at the early stage of short message warning function to 1083 and 40% in Feb. 2016,respectively. CONCLU-SIONS:The establishment of drug cold chain monitoring platform guarantees the reliability of cold drug storage condition so as to ensure the quality of drug in the hospital.

Objective To determine clinical characteristics and the effects of drug-eluting stents on the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events during percuteneous coronary artery interventional(PCI)and long- term outcomes in patients with chronic renal insufficiency(CRI).Methods Nine hundreds and seventy three patients with angiographically-documented coronary artery disease(lumen inner diameter narrowing＞50%), included 516 patients complicated with experienced renal impairment(CRI group)and 457 with normal renal function(control group).Baseline clinical data and coronary angiographic features were recorded.Results Comparing with control group,patients in CRI group were older with higher incidence of hypertension or diabetes and simultaneously complicated by reduced left ventricular ejection fraction,and more complex coronary lesions(type C).During follow-up(mean 17 months),the mortality was significantly higher in CRI than in control group(6.2% vs 3.3%,P＜0.05),but the former with CRI was significantly lower by using drug-eluting stents in comparing with bare-metal stents(4.1% vs 8.5%,P＜0.05).Conclusion Patients with CRI often complicated with severe coronary artery disease,the mortality after PCI would be significantly reduced by using drug-eluting stents.
