OBJECTIVE:To investigate the occurrence features of adverse drug reactions(ADR)and evaluate the quality of ADR reports in our hospital in order to promote clinic rational drug use and improve the quality of ADR monitoring.METHO-DS:A total of 150 ADR cases collected in our hospital during 2005～2006 were analyzed in respect of ADR patients' age and sex,drug kinds,ADR-involved organs or systems and clinical manifestations,ADR report quality etc using Excel.RESULTS:The ADR were predominantly induced by antimicrobial drugs and characterized by the damage of skin and its appendants.The ADR reporting rate was on the low side and the reporting quantity remained to be enhanced.CONCLUSION:ADR monitoring and publicizing should be further reinforced and professional staff's responsibility awareness remains to be improved to lessen ADR incidence.

The advance care planning is conducive to reducing the over treatment of terminally ill patients and improving the quality of life of patients. Video decision aid can effectively transmit terminal decision-making information, which has become an important means to implement advance care planning in countries and regions with better palliative care development. This paper summarizes the application types and effects and puts forward suggestions for constructing and using relevant tools in China, so as to provide references for research and practice of video decision aids in advance care planning in China.

Quality of life reflects the effect of clinical treatment and care in end-stage elderly patients with chronic diseases. End-stage elderly patients with chronic diseases have poor quality of life and high care needs, but they are not sufficiently addressed in clinical practice and research. This article summarizes the concept of quality of life and the content, reliability, validity, advantages and disadvantages of quality of life assessment tools for end-stage elderly patients with chronic diseases, so as to provide a reference for clinical and nursing medical staff to select appropriate tools and make clinical decisions and improve patients' quality of life.

Pathological vascular remodeling is a hallmark of various vascular diseases. Previous research has established the significance of andrographolide in maintaining gastric vascular homeostasis and its pivotal role in modulating endothelial barrier dysfunction, which leads to pathological vascular remodeling. Potassium dehydroandrographolide succinate (PDA), a derivative of andrographolide, has been clinically utilized in the treatment of inflammatory diseases precipitated by viral infections. This study investigates the potential of PDA in regulating pathological vascular remodeling. The effect of PDA on vascular remodeling was assessed through the complete ligation of the carotid artery in C57BL/6 mice. Experimental approaches, including rat aortic primary smooth muscle cell culture, flow cytometry, bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation assay, Boyden chamber cell migration assay, spheroid sprouting assay, and Matrigel-based tube formation assay, were employed to evaluate the influence of PDA on the proliferation and motility of smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Molecular docking simulations and co-immunoprecipitation assays were conducted to examine protein interactions. The results revealed that PDA exacerbates vascular injury-induced pathological remodeling, as evidenced by enhanced neointima formation. PDA treatment significantly increased the proliferation and migration of SMCs. Further mechanistic studies disclosed that PDA upregulated myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) expression in SMCs and interacted with T-cadherin (CDH13). This interaction augmented proliferation, migration, and extracellular matrix deposition, culminating in pathological vascular remodeling. Our findings underscore the critical role of PDA in the regulation of pathological vascular remodeling, mediated through the MyD88/CDH13 signaling pathway.
