Objective:To explore the effect of pregabalin on sleep structure in rats with temporal lobe epilepsy induced by pilocarpine.Methods:Twelve adult SD rats (half male and half female) were injected intraperitoneally with pilocarpine to establish a chronic temporal lobe epilepsy model.According to the principle of gender matching, they were divided into model group and pregabalin group, with 6 rats in each group(half male and half female). Another 6 SD rats (half male and half female) were taken as the control group.The skull electrodes were placed in the brain areas of rats to monitor the cerebral electrical activity, then recorded the data after resting for 1 week.Rats in pregabalin group were intraperitoneally injected with 50 mg/kg pregabalin while the rats in model group and control group were intraperitoneally injected with equal volume of normal saline.Fifteen minutes later, video electroencephalogram(EEG) and electromyogram(EMG) of rats in each group were recorded.The recording time was from 10∶00 to 17∶00 for 2 consecutive days.The seizure frequency, EEG and EMG were obtained.SPSS 25.0 was used for data analysis, one-way ANOVA was used for multi group comparison, and Tukey test and Games-Howell test were used for further pairwise comparison.Results:(1)The frequency of seizures in the pregabalin group (0.0(0.0, 1.0)times) were significantly lower than that in the model group(2.5(1.0, 4.8)times)( Z=-3.0, P<0.05). (2)During the 7 h recording period, the analyzed data showed that there were significant differences in the sleep-wake transition frequency, slow-wave sleep(SWS) phase duration, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep phase duration, total SWS time, total REM time and total sleep time among the three groups( F=10.5, 4.1, 13.0, 7.8, 4.4, 9.3, all P<0.05). The frequency of sleep-wake transitions in the pregabalin group ((66.3±18.0) times) and the control group ((87.8±14.1) times) were less than that in the model group ((106.7±20.8) times) (both P<0.05). The duration of SWS phase ((11.2±4.0) min) in pregabalin group was significantly longer than that in model group ((5.9±1.8) min) ( P<0.05), while that in model group was shorter than that in control group ((7.7±1.2) min) ( P<0.05). The duration of REM phase in the model group ((1.9±0.4) min) was shorter than that in the control group ((2.5±0.4) min) ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the duration of REM phase between the pregabalin group and the model group ( P>0.05). Within 7 h of observation, the total SWS time ((296.5±37.1) min) and total sleep time ((338.4±33.3) min) in pregabalin group were longer than those in model group ((258.1±38.4) min, (288.9±41.0) min) (both P<0.05). The total REM time ((30.4±11.1) min) and total sleep time ((288.9±41.0) min) in the model group were significantly shorter than those in the control group ((50.2±8.5) min, (339.0±19.6) min) (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Pregabalin alone can reduce seizures and change the sleep structure disorder caused by epilepsy, which is mainly manifested in reducing the number of sleep-wake transitions, prolonging the duration of SWS, increasing sleep duration, increasing SWS and total sleep time and improving sleep quality.

Objective:To compare the efficacies of robot-assisted unilateral and manual unilateral/bilateral puncture kyphoplasty (PKP) for the treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture (OTLF).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 64 OTLF patients admitted to First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from April 2021 to May 2022. The patients included 28 males and 36 females, aged 57-88 years [(74.5±5.6)years]. Fracture segments were 12 patients from T 1-T 9, 32 from T 10-L 2, and 20 from L 3-L 5. All the patients were treated with PKP. Among them, 25 patients underwent manual unilateral puncture (manual unilateral group), 18 patients underwent manual bilateral puncture (manual bilateral group), and 21 patients underwent robot-assisted unilateral puncture (robot-assisted unilateral group). The operation time, channel establishment time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, bone cement injection volume, and bone cement spatial distribution score were compared among the three groups. The visual analogue score (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI) and Cobb angle of kyphosis were compared among the three groups before operation, at 3 days and 3 months after operation, and at the last follow-up. The incidence of complications was compared. Results:All the patients were followed up for 6-10 months [(7.0±0.9)months]. The operation time of the manual unilateral group was (30.2±6.1)minutes, which was shorter than (37.9±8.9)minutes of the robot-assisted unilateral group and (49.0±10.2)minutes of the manual bilateral group; the operation time of the robot-assisted unilateral group was markedly shorter than that of the manual bilateral group (all P<0.05). The channel establishment time of the robot-assisted unilateral group was (4.7±1.4)minutes, which was markedly shorter than (10.4±4.4)minutes of the manual unilateral group and (21.7±6.2)minutes of the manual bilateral group (all P<0.05). The intraoperative blood loss of the robot-assisted unilateral group was (23.8±7.2)ml, which was less than (34.3±7.7)ml of the manual unilateral group and (55.9±18.7)ml of the manual bilateral group (all P<0.05). The number of intraoperative fluoroscopy of the robot-assisted unilateral group was (12.1±2.5)times, which was markedly less than (21.2±5.9)times of the manual unilateral group and (39.6±9.5)times of the manual bilateral group (all P<0.05). The channel establishment time, intraoperative blood loss and intraoperative fluoroscopy times of the manual unilateral group were markedly shorter or less than those of the manual bilateral group (all P<0.05). The bone cement injection volume and bone cement distribution score of the robot-assisted unilateral group were (4.7±1.3)ml and (7.9±1.2)points, which were not statistically different from (5.7±1.3)ml and (8.7±1.1)points of the manual bilateral group (all P>0.05), but were markedly higher than (3.0±1.3)ml and (5.1±1.8)points of the manual unilateral group (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in VAS, ODI and Cobb angle among the three groups at 3 days, 3 months after operation and at the last follow-up (all P>0.05), but which were all lower than those before surgery (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in VAS, ODI and Cobb angle among three groups before operation, at 3 days, 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up (all P>0.05). The complication rate was 4.8% (1/21) of the robot-assisted unilateral group, 32.0% (8/25) of the manual unilateral group, and 33.3% (6/18) of the manual bilateral group, with no significant difference between the manual unilateral group and the manual bilateral group ( P>0.05), but both of which was markedly higher than that of the robot-assisted unilateral group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Robot-assisted unilateral puncture and manual unilateral/bilateral puncture PKP can both achieve satisfactory results for the treatment of OTLF, but robot-assisted unilateral puncture has shorter channel establishment time, less intraoperative blood loss and intraoperative fluoroscopy times, and lower complication rate.

Remote pharmaceutical care refers to the process that pharmacists provide pharmaceutical care to patients remotely through information technology. Remote pharmaceutical care in China starts late and develops slowly. Therefore ,this paper discusses the pharmaceutical care modes that pharmacists at home and abroad can provide under the remote mode by collecting literature. The results show that foreign remote pharmaceutical care starts early and is relatively mature. The service mainly included remote follow-up and intervention ,24-hour online prescription and order review ,24-hour online drug reorganization ,and guidance on rational drug use in remote areas or community hospitals. The service population covers patients with cardiovascular disease , diabetes,asthma,AIDS and so on. Some hospitals have established an integrated pharmaceutical care system of “Internet+Medical Consortium”in China ,with which pharmacists can provide patients with pharmaceutical care such as remote follow-up and intervention,drug consultation and so on. With the promotion of telemedicine ,domestic pharmacists can gradually expand the scope of services ,expand pharmaceutical services such as remote consultation and remote popular science push ,and realize the sharing of high-quality pharmaceutical care for the whole people.
