OBJECTIVE:To investigate the characteristics of adverse drug reactions(ADR)of our hospital so as to promote rational drug use in the clinic.METHODS:1162ADR cases collected during2002～2004in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS:The occurrence of ADR induced by combined use of drugs accounted for33.6%of the total(390cases),chiefly through IV.Altogether531kinds of drugs involved ADR,in which the anti-infective agents(110kinds)took the lead which amounted to51.3percent of the total,then came the antineoplastic agents,cardiovascular system medicines and Chinese drugs preparations.The first3drugs that involved highest frequency of ADR occurrences were levofloxacin,cefo?peazone/sulbactam and azithromycin.The main clinic manifestations of ADR were skin damage,then gastro-intestinal damage and etc.There were28serious ADR cases.CONCLUSION:The cultivation of professional ability and quality of professional staff should be strengthened and an omnibearing ADR monitoring work should be carried out so as to reduce and avoid the occurrence of ADR.

OBJECTIVE:To understand the situation of adverse drug reactions occured and the harm to pa?tients.METHODS:298cases reported in our hospital were classified,analysed and evaluated.RESULTS:165kinds of drug caused adverse drug reactions,of which anti-infective agents occupied the first place,anticancer agents the second,cardiovas?cular and herbal agents induced ADRs very often too.The combined use of drugs accounted for28.5%in patients with ADRs.Most ADRs were induced by drugs given via intravenous route.The main types of ADRs were skin damage,gastro-intestinal damage,fever,etc.20cases had severe ADRs(6.7%).CONCLUSION:The adverse drug reactions difficult to observe and chronic ones should be paid more attention to.

Objective To study the methed of designing the surgical nursing electronic medical records and investigate the effect of application.Method According the nursing record form by Guangdong Provincial Clinical Nursing Writing Criterion (Specialty Version),we designed and completed the surgical nursing electronic medical records form.Result After implementation of the nursing electronic medical records,the mean time of measuring and inputting the patients’vital signs was(1.0±0.3)min and the mean time of finishing the nursing electronic medical records was 4.0±0.5 min.Conclusion Standardizing the form and content of nursing electronic medical records can improve the efficiency of routine work and the quality of nursing records.

OBJECTIVEDrug-induced liver damage is a potential complication from using many drugs. The aim of our study was to analyze the etiology and clinical features of drug-induced liver damage, in order to draw more attention to this problem.

METHODSTwo hundred and seventy-six cases over a 5-year period in Jiangsu Province Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.

RESULTSA variety of drugs, including traditional Chinese medicines (26.1% of our total cases) and anticancer drugs (17%) caused liver damage. The main clinical manifestations of it were fatigue, nausea, vomiting and jaundice. In 88% of our cases the symptoms were relieved or completely disappeared, but there was still a 5.1% mortality rate.

CONCLUSIONSThe clinical features of drug-induced liver damage are of no specificity, and the mortality of it is not low. Liver function should be monitored when suspected drugs are prescribed.

As the most abundant component of coagulation system, fibrinogen not only takes part in clotting, but also works as one of acute phase proteins, which participates in many physiological and pathophysiological processes. Studies of fibrinogen abnormalities contribute to understand the molecular basis of disorders of fibrinogen protein function and metabolism, caused mainly by gene mutation, commonly associated with bleeding, thrombophilia, or both. Diseases affecting fibrinogen could be classified to the acquired or inherited disease. In this review, the research progress on the molecular basis, possible action mechanism of the hereditary fibrinogen abnormalities and its clinical research are summarized.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the reliability of different hepatitis E diagnosis reagent tests on the acute hepatitis E.

METHODSThree acute hepatitis E diagnosis tests, E2-IgM (Wantai, China), GL-IgM and GL-IgG (Genelabs, Singapore) were compared for their reliability in a sera panel composed by 273 healthy individuals and 525 hepatitis.

RESULTSThe specificity of E2-IgM on the diagnosis of acute hepatitis E was 100.0%, it was significantly higher than GL-IgM (96.7%) and GL-IgG (85.4%). The sensitivity of E2-IgM and GL-IgG were 97.9% and 93.8% respectively, both significantly higher than GL-IgM (72.9%). Among 65 acute hepatitis cases being positive on GL-IgM test but negative on E2-IgM, 58 (89.2%) cases were found to be positive with anti-hepatitis A virus IgM, it indicated that the GL-IgM test might be interfered by other IgM antibodies on serum.

CONCLUSIONE2-IgM is a good test for the diagnosis of acute hepatitis E.

Objective:To investigate the difference of HRCT imaging features between COVID-19 and the ground-glass opacity(GGO) lesion of early-stage lung carcinoma, standardize the diagnosis and treatment process of ground-glass opacity(GGO) degeneration during the epidemic.Methods:A total of 34 patients with diagnosed COVID-19 who confirmed by positive results of the new coronavirus nucleic acid test were collected as observation group 40 patients with pathologically diagnosed early-stage lung carcinoma whose preoperative HRCT examination showed pure ground glass lesions and received surgical intervention were recruited from the Department of Thoracic Surgery (The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University) from January 2018 to December 2019 as the control group. The HRCT imaging features of these two groups of patients were compared and statistically analyzed.Results:The HRCT imaging features of the new type of COVID-19 showed significant difference by characteristics of multiple lesions, lesion rapid variation within 3 days, reticular pattern, vacuolar sign and clear boundary compared to the GGO lesion of early-stage lung carcinoma( P<0.05). The chinical and imaging characteristic the sex, age, with pleural effusion or not and the lesion location showed no significant difference between these 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Contrast with inert early lung carcinoma lesions, COVID-19 disease developed rapidly. Imaging dynamic examination can provide evidences to distinguish Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia and early-stage lung carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the use of antibiotics in children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in multiple regions of China, and to provide a reference for CAP standard treatment and rational antibiotic use in children. METHODS: The medical data of 1 383 children with CAP who were hospitalized in the department of pediatrics in 10 grade A tertiary hospitals from 9 cities between April 14, 2014 and January 1, 2016 were reviewed, to analyze the status of antibiotic use in hospitalized children in North China, Northeast China, East China, and South China. RESULTS: The overall rate of antibiotic use in children with CAP was 89.08%, with 88.7% in North China, 95.5% in Northeast China, 83.3% in East China, and 86.6% in South China. The main types of antibiotics used were cephalosporins, macrolides, compound preparations of β-lactam antibiotics, polyphosphoric broad-spectrum antibiotics and other β-lactam antibiotics. The selection of antibiotics was generally rational, but antibiotics were still used in some patients with viral infection alone or a combined use of ≥2 kinds of antibiotics were noted in some patients with infection caused by one kind of pathogen. Irrational antibiotic use was observed in 131 children (10.63%). CONCLUSIONS There are high rates of antibiotic use and irrational use of antibiotics among children with CAP. Standard management of antibiotic use in children with CAP should be strengthened.
