Objective:To explore the pharmaceutical care model for the patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome ( ALI/ARDS) caused by inhalation of chemical agents to ensure the safety, rationality and effectiveness of drugs. Methods:According to the characteristics of drug therapy for the patients with ALI/ARDS caused by inhalation of chemical agents, the pharma-ceutical care was carried out and the suggestions on the medication were given. Results:Through the pharmaceutical care, the safety, reasonability and effectiveness were improved. And the incidence of adverse drug reactions was decreased. Conclusion: Cooperating with clinical physician, clinical pharmacists can perform active pharmaceutical service and optimize dosage regimen, which is beneficial to the safety, reasonability and effectiveness of drug therapy for the patients.

Objective To explore the treatment procedure of pediatric vaginal rhabdomyosarcoma ( RMS) using 60 Co high?dose?rate three?dimensional ( 3D ) brachytherapy, and to analyze its dosimetric feasibility. Methods Computed tomography ( CT ) images were collected from five children undergoing radiotherapy for vaginal RMS. Three treatment plans were designed:plan A using 3D conformal radiotherapy with external beam irradiation, plan B using brachytherapy, and plan C using brachytherapy combined with external beam irradiation. Dosimetric parameters for clinical target volume ( CTV ) and organs at risk ( OARs ) were evaluated based on EQD 2 and analyzed using one ? way analysis of variance . Results Compared with plan A, plan C had significantly larger D90, D50, and Dmean for CTV ( all P=0?00), significantly lower doses to the rectum, bladder, and femoral head, and a significantly higher dose to the ovary ( all P=0?00) . Compared with plan B, plan C had a larger D90 for CTV, smaller D50 and Dmean for CTV, a lower dose to the ovary, and higher doses to the rectum, bladder, and femoral head. Among the three plans, plan B had the smallest D2 cm3 for the rectum and bladder. Conclusions The optimal radiotherapy plan for pediatric vaginal RMS should be based on the primary tumor location and residual tumor after surgery. CT image?guided 60 Co high?dose?rate 3D brachytherapy is convenient, effective, and well tolerated by children. It also achieves a high dose to CTV as well as good protection of normal tissue.

According to the related standards, an in vitro corrosion fatigue testing of coronary stents was designed. The stents were fixed in the latex tubes, which were full of 0.9% saline solution, and radial stress was produced for simulating natural vessel. The accelerated fatigue test was performed with 4 x 10(8) cycles at a frequency of 60 Hz, which was equal to 10 years in vivo implantation. Twelve coronary stents made from stainless steel were adopted in the experiment. The bulk structure and surface morphology before and after testing were analysed by scanning electron microscopy. The structure damage and surface change caused by corrosion fatigue were identified and the probable reasons were proposed.
