Objective:This paper aims to analyze the monitoring model of Canadian drug price monitoring mod-el based on the international reference price, and make reference for China. Methods: Through policy analysis and literature research, the system combs the specific Canadian practices of using the international reference prices for the drug price monitoring. Results:For the introduction of new drug prices, Canada uses the international median price comparison test, the highest international price comparison test, the treatment category comparison test and the inter-national treatment category comparison test. For the listed drugs, Canada calculates the international price ratio, and then carries out bilateral comparisons and multilateral comparisons to monitor the prices of drugs already on the mar-ket. At present, Canada has achieved effective monitoring of drug prices, that is to say, the introduction of new drug prices complies with the《Excessive Price Guide》;the patented drugs prices are lower than the designed international price;the price difference between the generic drug and the international level has gradually reduced. Conclusions:The Canadian experience is worth learning, and China should add legislative about drug price monitoring, learn from this experience to identify and monitor the varieties and establish the price monitoring and early warning mechanism with the international reference price as the warning indicator.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and clinical significance of emergency bedside ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization performed by emergency department doctors.Methods The clinical data of 216 patients, who underwent central venous catheterization in the Department of Emergency of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2009 to June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients received femoral vein puncture or internal jugular vein catheterization. The patients were divided into three groups according to the method of catheterization: 72 patients received emergency ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization by emergency doctors independently were assigned as A group, 72 patients underwent catheterization by emergency doctors after being demarcated by ultrasound doctors served as B group, and 72 patients who underwent catheterization method guided by traditional landmark served as C group. Success rate, time spent for catheterization, number of attempts for intubation, and incidence of complications were compared among three groups.Results As compared with that of groups B and C, a higher success rate [98.61% (71/72) vs. 83.33% (60/72), 73.61% (53/72), bothP< 0.01] was found in group A, also with a shorter successful time for insertion of the catheter (minutes: 5.5±2.5 vs. 9.6±3.7, 16.6±7.2, bothP< 0.05), less frequency of the catheter insertion (times: 1.0±0.0 vs. 1.8±0.7, 2.7±2.6, bothP<0.05), and lower incidence of changing puncture site due to insert failure [1.4% (1/72) vs. 8.3% (6/72), 20.8% (15/72), bothP< 0.05], lower incidence of mechanical and infective complication [15.3% (11/72) vs. 41.7% (30/72), 59.7%(43/72), bothP< 0.05], and also lower catheterization related infection risk [13.9% (10/72) vs. 15.3% (11/72), 12.5%(9/72), bothP> 0.05].Conclusion Emergency bedside ultrasound-guided catheterization resulted in higher success rate and less related complication, therefore it can be recommended for widely application in emergency department treatment.

Objective To assess the therapeutic effects of activated charcoal on the acute dichlorvos poisoning in rats. Method Thirty male clean grade Wistar rats were randomly (random number) divided into three groups: control group (group A, n = 10), single dose activated charcoal group (group B, n = 10) and multi-dose activated charcoal (group C, n=10). The rats of group A were suffered from 35 mg/kg dichlorvos exposure by oral without activated charcoal and senna. The rats of group B received 35 mg/kg dichlorvos exposure by oral with 175 mg/kg activated charcoal given immediately after dichlorvos exposure and 35 mg/kg senna given half an hour later. In the group C, 35 mg/kg dichlorvos was given to rats by oral with 175 mg/kg activated charcoal given immediately after dichlorvos exposure and 35 mg/kg senna given half an hour later and then every four hours. Blood samples were collected from the carotid artery at different intervals after exposure. DDVP concentration and total blood acetyl-cholinesterase activity were detected. Differences in serum DDVP concentration, Cmax, AUC (0→∞ ), MRT and acetylcholinesterase among three groups were calculated by using ANOVA. Results Serum DDVP levels in single dose group and in multi-dose group were significantly different from those in control group (P < 0.05). The DDVP levels in multi-dose group were significantly different from those in single dose group 4 hours after exposure (P < 0.05). The AUC and Cmax in activated charcoal treatment groups were significantly different from those in control group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in MRT among three groups. Fours hours after exposure to dichlorvos,the levels of serum acetylcholinesterase in rats of group B and group C were significantly different from that in rats of group A (P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in acetylcholinesteras between group B and group C (P > 0.05). Another four hours later, no differences in acetylcholinesterase were found a-mong three groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions The peak concentrations of dichlorvos in blood are lower in group B and group C, and the blood acetylcholinesterase inhibition is quelled by activated charcoal. Therefore, the effects of multi - dose of activated charcoal is better than that of single dose of activated charcoal.

Objective To investigate the effect of early intervention on general movements (GM) in preterm infants during fidgety movement. Methods 315 preterm infants during fidgety movement period were divided into intervention group (n=160) and control group (n= 155). The intervention group accepted very early intervention program consisted of hospital intervention and family intervention, and the control group accepted routine treatment and nursing. The incidences of different kinds of GMs were compared. Results There is no statistical difference (χ2=0.641, P=0.726) in writhing movement before intervention, and the fidgety movement presented more in the intervention group than in the control group (χ2=8.710, P=0.003), while the absence of fidgety movement was significantly fewer (χ2=5.685, P=0.017) after intervention. Conclusion Very early intervention can reduce the incidence of absence of fidgety movement and improve fidgety movement.

Objective:To investigate the body composition and sarcopenia in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods:A total of 220 patients with stable COPD were enrolled in the study from China-Japan Friendship Hospital during July 2018 to December 2019; 220 age and sex-matched healthy subjects (control group 1) and 220 healthy young adults aged 20-40 years (control group 2) were enrolled from the community. The body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance method. The demographic characteristics, disease conditions, living background and other related factors were collected by questionnaire. T test or one-way ANOVA were used for comparison between groups, and non parametric test was used for non normal distribution data.Results:Compared with the control group 1 and control group 2, the body fat rate ( Z=-10.037, t=-8.411), the fat free mass index ( Z=-8.165, t=-7.856), and appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI) ( t=-7.158, t=-11.989) were significantly lower in stable COPD patients ( P<0.05). Among 220 patients with stable COPD, 51 (23.2%) were diagnosed as sarcopenia; the prevalence of sarcopenia was 18.3% (24/131) in men and 30.3% (27/89) in women (χ2=4.297, P=0.038). The decreased ASMI and grip strength in COPD patients with sarcopenia were significantly associated with age≥75 (χ2= 15.746, F= 14.048), female sex ( Z=5.805, t=2.672), low income ( Z=-4.291, t=-4.789), Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) grade Ⅳ (χ2=22.644, F=3.905), Modified British Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale grade 4 (χ2=12.475, F=4.369), not receiving systematic health education ( Z=-4.239, Z=-2.474), no exercise (χ2=14.786, F=3.402), insufficient nutrition intake (χ2=40.531, F=10.529). The range of 6-min walking distance was (110-268) m, that was even shorter for patients with mMRC dyspnea scale grade 4 ( F=3.468, P<0.05). Conclusion:The impairment of body composition is common in COPD patients, which will further affect the body function. It is suggested that the routine evaluation of COPD should include the measurement of body composition.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanisms of synergistic effects of BFA and CDDP on human lung cancer GLC-82 cells, and to test the levels of PERK-ATF4 pathway. Methods GLC-82 cells were incubated with 50 ng/mL of BFA or/and 2 μg/mL of CDDP for 24 or 48 hours. The levels of PERK, p-PERK and ATF4 in GLC-82 were analyzed by real-time PCRand/or Western Blot. Results The levels of PERK were lowest in CDDP group, but higher in BFA group (P < 0.05), the highest in group of BFA+CDDP (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). The p-PERK level decreased in group of BFA+CDDP (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). There was no significant change of ATF4 expression in CDDP group, but ATF4 expression increased slightly in BFA group, and increased further in group of BFA+CDDP (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01)which was also higher than that in BFA group or CDDP group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Conclusions The upregulated levels of PERK and ATF4 by the combination of BFA and CDDP may be one of the mechanisms of synergistic anti-cancer effect of BFA and CDDP on GLC-82 cells.
