Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2014;22(3):167-170
Objective To investigate the effects of pharmaceutical interventions on parenteral nutrition.Methods Data collection sheet (with data,ward,patient general information,type of irrational prescribing,type of error,process of error,intervention content,and intervention results) for recording pharmaceutical interventions was designed.The prescriptions of total parenteral nutrition in our hospital from January 1st,2013 to December 31st,2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Pharmaceutical interventions were carried out for unreasonable prescriptions.Results A total of 6 454 prescriptions were reviewed during the research period,among which pharmaceutical interventions were provided for 154 prescriptions (2.39%).Totally 160 errors were identified,and 44 were prevented.The intervention acceptance rate was 98.70%.Conclusions Pharmaceutical interventions can adjust unreasonable prescriptions and modify errors.It is useful to promote the clinical drag use in a safe,rational,effective,and economical manner.

Objective Observed by ultrasound,this study investigated anatomical characters of median nerve affecting the minimal current intensity of percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PNS).Methods Forty healthy adult volunteers were enrolled in this prospective observational stud-y.PNS was performed with a stimulating pen in 2 Hz,0.2 ms,3 mA probe mode for cubits the me-dian nerve localization.Stimulation current was adjusted according to the motor response and the min-imal current intensity at which the motor response was obtained was recorded.There after,the medi-an nerve was observed with ultrasound imaging at the location point.Then,the depth,diameter,area and circumference of the nerve were determined.Results The minimal current intensity was (1.9 ± 0.6)mA and the depth of nerve was (6.1±1.7)mm.The linear regression equation between the mini-mal current intensity and the depth of nerve is:Y (nerve depth,cm)=0.359 +0.135X1 (minimum current intensity,mA),the determination coefficient R2 =0.25 1 (P <0.01).Conclusion The stimu-lation threshold of PNS localization the median nerve was correlated to the depth of nerve,which sug-gests that PNS not only can determine the position of the peripheral nerve,but also can help predict the depth of the peripheral nerve according to the minimum stimulus current.

Objective To evaluate the value of MRI in acute ankle distortion without evidence of fracture. Methods The MRI appear-ances of 21 cases with acute trauma in the ankles were retrospectively analyzed,focusing on the presence or absence injuries of lateral collat-eral ligamentous complex,bone and osteochondral lesions,MRI was performed within 48 h of trauma. Results Bone bruise was observed in 15 patients. There were injuries of the lateral ligaments in 4 cases and the medial ligaments in 1 case. Injury of the osteochondral lesion was in 5 cases and Achilles tear was in 3 cases. Conclusion MRI have diagnostic value for acute ankle injury.

[Summary] The genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocyte of the patient with thyroid hormone resistance syndrome and 14 members of his family.The exons 1-10 of thyroid hormone receptor β (TRβ) gene were amplified by PCR.The products of PCR were sequenced directly to detect the gene mutation.The results showed that 3 members of this family were confirmed to have the C→T transition mutation at nucleotide 1 303 site within exon 10 of TRβ gene,and the missense mutation results in the substitution of histidine to tyrosine (H435Y).The heterozygous mutation may lead to the occurrence of thyroid hormone resistance syndrome.

· Vascular endothelial growth factor is indispensable inducing factor in retinalangiogenesis. After the retinal neovascularization of proliferative diabetic retinopathy ( PDR ) patients, it can cause fibrovascular membrane formation, epiretinal membrane fibrosis increased, resulting in traction retinal detachment with further aggravate the condition. The recent research suggests that cytokines promote fibroblast proliferation, movement, adhesion, and secretion of extracellular matrix functions in the diabetic state of the environment changes to profibrogenic state, resulting in the accumulation and fibrosis of extracellular matrix. This paper reviewed the status quo of the correlation between vascular endothelial growth factor and fibrosis-related cytokine.

Objective To determine the treatment outcome and prognosis after resection of esophageal cancer.Methods 312 patients who developed recurrence after curative resection for squamous cell cancer of the thoracic esophagus were analyzed retrospectively.Results Recurrence was found after a mean period of 17.8 months(range 2~56 months).Recurrence pattern was catagorized into lymphatic,hematogerous,mixed and anastomotic.The number of patients in each recurrence group was 188,42,60,22.312 patients were enveloped into a noadjuant treatment group(NT,68),a radiotherapy alone group(RT,110),a chemotherapt group(CT,72) and a radiotherapy combined chemothepapy(CRT+CT,32).The 0.5-,1-,2-and 3-year overall survival rates for NT were 63.5%,35.2%,16.3% and 13.1%;For CT were 65.7%,52.3%,11.9% and 9.2%;For RT were 75.6%,49.2%,32.2% and 14.2%,respectively.Compared with CT there were significant differences in survival for patients receiving RT alone or combined with CT(P0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that depth of tumor invasion,lymph node metastasis,operative procedure and different regimens of therapy were significant prognostic factors.Conclusion Esophagectomy with cervical anastomasis is recommened for esophageal carcinoma,additional cervical lymphadenectomy is benefical in a few patients.Radiotherapy or combined with chemotherapy to be effective in prolonging the survival of patietns with recurrenes after esophageal resection for cancer.Investigation for more effective drugs and regimens of chemotherapy need to be taken.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic performance of bone SPECT and CT fusion imaging in bone metastases from pediatric neuroblastoma.MethodsTwenty-four pediatric patients with neuroblastoma were included in this retrospective study.All patients underwent planar imaging and SPECT integrated with CT.Lesion visibility,diagnostic certainty and diagnostic performance were evaluated with KolmogorovSmirnov test andx2 test.ResultsLesion visibility of SPECT alone,SPECT integrated with CT were significantly better than that of planar imaging ( both H =69.000,P < 0.05 ).SPECT and CT fusion imaging,SPECT alone both detected five more bone lesions than planar bone imaging (77 vs 72).The diagnostic accuracy of SPECT imaging (62.34%,48/77 )was significantly higher than that of planar imaging (45.45%,35/77; x2 =4.416,P < 0.05 ).The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of SPECT and CT fusion imaging for diagnosing malignant bone lesions were significantly higher than those of planar imaging:82.35% (42/51) vs 53.19% ( 25/47),88.46% ( 23/26 ) vs 40.00% ( 10/25 ),84.42% ( 65/77 ) vs 45.45% (35/77 ; x2 =12.571,14.016,25.667,all P < 0.01 ).The diagnostic specificity and accuracy of SPECT and CT fusion imaging were significantly higher than those of SPECT alone ( 53.85%,14/26 ;62.34%,48/77) (x2 =7.589,9.606,both P <0.01 ).However,there was no significant difference of sensitivity between the two methods (x2 =2.942,P > 0.05 ).Diagnostic certainty by SPECT and CT fusion imaging was significantly higher than that by SPECT alone ( H =28.000,P < 0.05 ) and by planar imaging (H =21.000,P < 0.05).ConclusionSPECT and CT fusion imaging can detect more bone lesions in patients with pediatric neuroblastoma.It is helpful for diagnosing bone metastases from pediatric neuroblastoma.

Objective To evaluate the correlation of the depths of detecting arteries vessel in transcranial dopplor(TCD) and child head circumference.Methods Five hundreds and eighty-eight health children were selected at random for the study. TCD ultrasonography was used to detect the optimal depths of arteries, middle and anterior and posterior cerebral arteries for each child, together with the head circumference.Results The data showed that the depths of detecting cerebral arteries significantly changed in different age groups, probably due to the growth of the head circumference.Conclusion There was close relationship between the depths of detecting cerebral arteries and child head circumference, which is of clinical significance.
