OBJECTIVE:To investigate the application situation and tendency of antihypertensive drugs in our hospital. METHODS: By a retrospective study,a total of 952 prescriptions of outpatients with hypertension were sampled from our hospital from Nov. 18 to Dec. 17 in 2007 for statistical analysis regarding the utilization of antihypertensive drugs,the treatment regimens,sales amount,DDDs and DDC,etc. RESULTS: The antihypertensive drugs were mainly used in single or two kinds concomitantly. Calcium-channel blocker (CCB) and angiotensin receptor Ⅱ binders(ARB) took the lead,accounting for 30.67% and 28.45%,respectively. Leading the first three places on the list of DDDs were Telmisartan,Amlodipine and Benidipine,and leading the first three places on the list of sales amount were Telmisartan,Valsartan and Amlodipine. CONCLUSION:The use of antihypertensive drugs in our hospital conforms to China Guidelines on Prevention and Management of Hypertension and the drug use criteria recommended by WHO.

Objective To evaluate the effects of sevoflurane on β-amyloid (Aβ)-induced cognitive dysfunction and oxidative stress response of hippocampal tissues in rats.Methods Ninety-six male adlut SpragueDawley rats,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =24 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) ; group Aβ ; 1.3 ％ sevoflurane group (group S1) and 2.6 ％ sevoflurane group (group S2).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal.10％ chloral hydrate 350 mg/kg.Cognitive dysfunction was induced by injecting Aβ1-40 2 μ1 into the bilateral hippocampi in Aβ,S1 and S2 groups.The equal volume of normal saline was given in group C.At 22 days after injection,C and Aβ groups were exposed to 30％ oxygen for 4 h,and S1 and S2 groups inhaled 1.3 ％ and 2.6 ％ sevoflurane,respectively,for 4 h.Eight rats were chosen at days 1,3 and 7 after exposure and cognitive function was assessed by Morris water maze test.The swimming speed,escape latency and exploration time at the original platform quadrant were recorded.The rats were then sacrificed after the end of the behavioral test and blood samples were taken for determination of serum S100β protein concentration.Hippocampi were immediately isolated and the homogenate was prepared for determination of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content.Results Compared with group C,the escape latency was significantly prolonged and exploration time at the original platform quadrant was shortened,the serum S100β protein concentration and MDA content were increased,and SOD activity was decreased at each time point in group Aβ (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences in the variables mentioned above between Aβ and S1 groups (P ＞ 0.05).The escape latency was significantly prolonged and the exploration time at the original platform quadrant was shortened,the serum S100β protein concentration and MDA content were increased,and SOD activity was decreased at each time point in group S2 as compared with Aβ and S1 groups (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the swimining speed among the 4 groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Inhalation of 2.6 ％ sevoflurane for 4 h can aggravate the cognitive dysfunction induced by Aβ in rats and aggravation of oxidative stress response may be involved in the mechanism.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the bioequivalence of two preparations of gemfibrozil.METHODS:A single oral dose of gemfibrozil enteric capsule(test preparation)and capsule(reference preparation)was given to20volunteers in an open ran?domized crossover way to study the pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability.The plasma gemfibrozil concentrations were determined by HPLC method.RESULTS:The pharmacokinetic parameters of test and reference preparations were as follows:T max ,(2.4?0.6)h and(2.3?0.7)h;C max ,(21.8?7.3)?g/ml and(23.7?5.9)?g/ml;T 1/2 ,(2.0?0.4)h and(2.0?0.5)h;AUC 0～12 ,(68.1?13.7)(?g?h)/ml and(68.9?17.4)(?g?h)/ml;AUC 0～∞ (69.7?13.9)(?g?h)/ml and(70.6?17.8)(?g?h)/ml respectively.The relative bioavailability of test preparation was(100.8?15.0)%.The result of statistical analysis on above parameters showed that there was no significant difference between two preparations.CONCLUSION:The two prepa?rations were bioequivalent.

OBJECTIVE:To ensure a long-term medication in children with asthma,prevent the attack of asthma and ensure safe,effective and correct drug use in these patients.METHODS:The pharmaceutical care for the asthma children was carried out through pharmacists’ involvement in assisting doctors to establish the treatment plan,carrying out medicine-use education and drug use consultation for patients,setting up the medicine-use record and so on.RESULTS & CONCLUSION:The practice of pharmaceutical care can markedly improve the compliance,safety and efficacy of drug use in asthma children as well as improving their quality of life.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the way for clinical pharmacists to carry out pharmaceutical care.METHODS:We summarized the content,method and experiences of carrying out pharmaceutical care based on our clinical practice in Cardiology department.RESULTS & CONCLUSION:To provide all-round high quality pharmaceutical care for patients,clinical pharmacists should improve their own qualities by continuous learning knowledge and theories related to their own profession as well as improving their practical skills.

OBJECTIVE:A HPLC method has been developed to determine the concentration of isoniazid in plasma.METH_ODS:The Eclipse XDB-C18 column was used as fix phase and acetonitrile-0.05mol/L ammonium dihydrogen phosphate as mo_bile phase,detection wavelength was 280nm.The plasma sample was injected directly for determination after being deproteinized with 10% trichloroacetic acid and reacted with cinnamaldehyde and abstracted with ether.RESULTS:Good linear relationship was shown from 0.10 to 12.0?g/ml and the averge recovery of isoniazid was 95%～105%.CONCLUSION:The method is rapid,sensitive and is rarely interfered so it can be used in study of pharmacokinetics of isoniazid.
