Objective The aim is to provide drug regimen for patients who have hormone allergy history but need hor-mone therapy.Methods Pharmacists analyzed the sensitization mechanism of methylprednone in combination with insturction and literature,assisted clinicians to formulate oral hormone therapy for tuberculosis meningitis with history of menthylprednisolone and verified the effectiveness and safety of the drug regimen.Results Methylprednisolone injection contains trace amount of milk protein and should not be used in patients with definite allergy to cow's milk.After changing to oral hormone therapy,the patient did not appear allergic again,and the condition was stable.Conclusion Gucocorticoids can also induce allergic reactions,so patients'previous allergic history should be paid attention in the process of medical history collection.Meanwhile,pharmacists can also give full play to their pharmaceutical expertise to assist clinicians in formulating individualized drug administration plans to ensure the effectiveness and safety of patients.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between dietary composition of residents in endemic fluorosis areas and skeletal fluorosis.Methods:A case-control study was used to analyze the difference of dietary composition between patients with skeletal fluorosis (case group) and residents without skeletal fluorosis (control group). In August 2019, taking the drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis area in Wenshui County, Lvliang City, Shanxi Province as the survey site, a cluster sampling method was adopted to select local residents aged over 18 years old, and a questionnaire survey was conducted by face-to-face interview. The survey contents included gender, age and consumption frequency of various foods. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between food consumption frequency and skeletal fluorosis. The diagnosis of skeletal fluorosis was made by using portable digital radiography (DR) to take X-ray films of forearm and lower leg, combining with clinical signs, and according to the Diagnostic Standard for Endemic Skeletal Fluorosis (WS/T 192-2008) to determine.Results:A total of 1 061 subjects were included in this study, including 376 in the case group and 685 in the control group. The age composition of patients in the case group (≤60, > 60 years old: 162, 214 cases) was significantly different from that in the control group (≤60, > 60 years old: 423, 261 cases, χ 2 = 34.52, P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in gender ratio (χ 2 = 1.37, P = 0.251). The proportion of patients in the case group who ate meat and eggs > 1 time/week was lower than that in the control group (χ 2 = 8.06, 5.46, P < 0.05), the proportion of patients who ate milk > 1 time/week was higher than that in the control group (χ 2 = 4.01, P = 0.046), and the proportion of patients who ate seafood ≥1 time/week was lower than that in the control group (χ 2 = 4.16, P = 0.046). The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, sex, and urinary fluoride, the frequency of eating meat, eggs or milk > 1 time/week and the frequency of eating seafood ≥1 time/week were not related to the risk of skeletal fluorosis ( P > 0.05); however, in the group ≤60 years old, the frequency of eating eggs > 1 time/week was associated with the risk of skeletal fluorosis [odds ratio ( OR) = 0.59, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 0.39, 0.88]. Conclusions:The consumption frequency of meat, milk, eggs and seafood is significantly different between the skeletal fluorosis patients and the control people. In the population ≤60 years old, consumption frequency of eggs > 1 time/week may reduce the risk of skeletal fluorosis.

Objective:To investigate the survival rate and clinical failure reasons of onlay and occlusal veneer restorations retrospectively,and to put forward valuable suggestions for the selection of clinical in-dications.Methods:A total of 102 patients and 124 teeth treated by one of the authors from 2016 to 2019 were subjected to CAD/CAM lithium silicate reinforced glass-ceramic onlay or veneer restorations of premolars and molars,including 43 teeth with pulp vitality,81 endodontic treated teeth,and occlusal thickness of restoration was 1.5 mm.After four years of restoration,retrospective surveys were conducted to record the survival rate of restorations,the causes of restoration failure,and patient satisfaction rates,and the survival rate of restorations between vital teeth and endodontic treated teeth and among restored teeth was statistically analyzed by Chi-square test.Results:The survival rates of restorations on vital teeth and endodontic treated teeth were 95.5％and 90.0％,respectively,the average survival rate was 90.2％.The survival rates of vital teeth were higher than those of endodontic treated teeth without statis-tical difference.There was also no statistically significant difference among the tooth locations.The cau-ses of failure included the cracking of the restoration,the loss of the restoration,the fracture of the abut-ment teeth,secondary caries below the adjacent contact point,and food impaction caused by the loose-ning of the adjacent contact point.The overall patient satisfaction rate was 91.5％.Conclusion:The 4-year survival rate of glass-ceramic onlays and occlusal veneers is lower than that of the full crown restora-tion,and there are more complications than that of the single-crown restorations.The design of the resto-ration should be carefully selected based on the vitality of the abutment tooth and the remaining amount of tooth tissue.When there is too little tooth structure left,a post and crown should be selected for restora-tion.Adequate strength and thickness of the restoration should be ensured to prevent food impaction.Due to the small amount of abutment tooth preparation,it has the advantages of less stimulation of the pulp and periodontal tissue,and can be recommended as a trial restoration.
