OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of gene polymorphism on the efficacy and safety of citalopram/escitalopram, and to provide evidence-based reference for precision medication. METHODS Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang data and SinoMed, clinical studies about the association of gene polymorphism with efficacy and safety of citalopram/escitalopram were collected. Meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.3 software after literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation based on Newcastle-Ottawa scale. RESULTS Totally 35 pieces of literature were included, all of which were cohort studies, with a total of 9 836 patients. Meta-analysis showed that the SLC6A4 gene 5-serotonin transporter linked polymorphic region (HTTLPR) LL genotype was associated with high response rate of citalopram/escitalopram [LS/SS vs. LL: OR=0.47, 95%CI (0.22, 0.98), P=0.05]; results of subgroup analysis suggested a higher correlation in white people with LL genotype and escitalopram; there was no significant correlation of HTTLPR genotype with remission rate [LS/SS vs. LL: OR= 0.92,95%CI(0.77, 1.10), P>0.05; SS vs. LL/LS:OR=0.73, 95%CI(0.45, 1.19), P>0.05] or overall incidence of ADR in patients with gene SLC6A4; but high expression of rs25531 LA was significantly associated with reduced incidence of ADR(P< 0.05). CYP2C19*2/*3 allele was significantly associated with slowed metabolism, higher response rate and increased incidence of ADR. CONCLUSIONS HTTLPR LL genotype is associated with the increased response rate of citalopram/escitalopram, but no significant correlation with safety is found, while CYP2C19*2/*3 allele is significantly associated with higher response rate and reduced tolerability.

Objective:To evaluate ward nurses′ understanding of nuclear medicine and assess whether they can prepare for scintigraphy procedures and answer patient′s questions about nuclear medicine examinations.Methods:An online questionnaire was provided to nurses in 11 wards of Wuxi Second Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University where nuclear medicine examinations were frequently undergone. The questionnaire contained 3 parts: general data, self-assessment, objective testing of knowledge about nuclear medicine. Professional titles, educations, working years, self-assessment and objective testing for knowledge of nuclear medicine for patients′ preparation and question of involvers were collected. Results of objective knowledge test among different professional titles, educations and the results of self-assessment were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and independent-sample t test. Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between objective testing results and working years. Results:The effective receiving rate of questionnaire was 96.4%(267/277). There were 96.3%(257/267) involvers did not receive any specific training in nuclear medicine, and only 4.9%(13/267) considered they knew nuclear medicine well. There were 50.2%(134/267) involvers thought that their knowledge of nuclear medicine was enough to prepare nuclear medicine examination for patients and 49.8%(133/267) involvers thought that they were able to explain nuclear medicine examination for patients. In objective knowledge test, (14.6±2.8) questions answered correctly for each person, with a correct rate of (54.9±10.5)%. There were (14.1±2.8), (15.5±2.3) and (16.8±3.9) questions answered correctly in involvers with primary title, mid-level title and senior title respectively ( F=9.789, P<0.001), and (15.8±2.5), (14.2±2.8) in involvers with bachelor degree or above and college degree ( t=3.477, P<0.001). There was only subtle correlation between objective testing results and working years ( r=0.257, P<0.01). The main way that involvers obtained nuclear information was through experience-based teaching methods such as introductions from colleagues(57.7%, 154/267) and department education(18.0%, 48/267). Conclusions:Lacking of formal nuclear medicine orientation is common in ward nurses, and their understanding of nuclear medicine examinations is insufficient. Working characteristics and learning patterns of ward nurses should be considered when providing information on nuclear medicine treatments for them.

Objective To evaluate the application effect of the situation-background-assessment-recommendation(SBAR) communication mode in the intensive care unit in the department of neurosurgery (NSICU).Methods From January 2015, the SBAR communication mode was carried out in the shifting of duty for the nurses in the intensive care unit in the department of neurosurgery. The SBAR communication standard of patients' condition was initiated in the communication between nurses and doctors. The implementation effect of the mode was evaluated by the comparisons of the time of the nurses' shifting of duty, the incidence of adverse events, the average hospital stay of patients, the satisfaction of patients between before the implementation (the year of 2014) and after the implementation(the year of 2015).Results After implementing the SBAR communication mode, the incidence of pressure sores decreased from 2.64% to 0.39% significantly (χ2=4.252, P<0.05). The incidence of extubation decreased from 1.76% to 0% significantly (χ2=4.531,P<0.05). The satisfaction of patients increased from 91.4% to 97.7% significantly (χ2=4.714,P<0.05). The handover time of the nurses was shortened from (8.7±2.1)min every time to(6.1±1.9)min every time significantly (t=2.045, P<0.05). The average hospital stay in the NSICU was shortened from (13.2±2.5)day to(10.5±2.1)day significantly (t=2.057,P<0.05).Conclusions The implementation of the SBAR communication mode is helpful to standardize the shifting of duty and the communication process of doctors and nurses, ensure the safety of patients and improve the satisfaction, which is worth promotion and reference.
