Population pharmacokinetics(PPK),which is based on the principle of statistics,can be used to estimate various inter- and intra-individual factors which affect pharmacokinetics.By using Bayesian estimator,PPK can predict individual pharmacokinetic parameters accurately.PPK is widely used in the immunosuppressive therapy with cyclosporine,tacrolimus,mycophenolic acid and sirolimus.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of pharmacy trusteeship in Shanghai medical institutions to provide useful informa-tion for the reform of medicine without added profit and pharmacy transition to clinical pharmacy. Methods: On-site investigation of seven hospitals and one famous drug retail company in Shanghai was performed combined with the communication with relative person-nel and non-random sampling questionnaire survey on the staff of pharmacy. Statwing software was used in the statistical analysis of the data. Results: A total of 93 valid questionnaires in the study were taken back. Although one hospital has achieved great progress in pharmacy trusteeship, most of respondents had negative attitudes and the common thought was that pharmacy trusteeship did more harm than good to the development of clinical pharmacy at present. Conclusion: As a consequence of drug zero interest policy and clinical pharmacy development, pharmacy trusteeship should be explored and attempted. The duties and responsibilities of all parts in pharma-cy trusteeship should be definite in law in order to standardize drug retail market and protect the interests of patient.

The secondary hyperparathyroidism is one of the complications of chronic renal failure (CRF) and end stage renal failure (ESRD), and becomes more serious with the development of the primary disease. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is considered as one of the biomarks of the development of renal failure. The purpose of this article will expound the physiological effects of the PTH, the causes and clinical significances of PTH rising in CRF and ESRD patients, the determination of PTH level, and the relationships between the increase of PTH and the polymorphism of CYP2D6, GSTT1,GSTM1.

AIM　To establish an allele specific PCR amplification (ASA-PCR) for determination of the genotype of CYP2D6*10B polymorphism in Chinese subjects. METHODS　CYP2D6*10B alleles of 65 healthy Chinese subjects were analyzed by a two-step PCR assay and the correlation of genotype and phenotype was studied. RESULTS　There were 20 CYP2D6*10B heterozygous genotypes subjects (wt/m) in 35 very extensive metabolizers (VEMs), which consisted the major part of VEM subjects (57%). Meanwhile, 20 subjects consisting 69% of 29 intermediate metabolizers were CYP2D6*10B homozygous mutant genotypes (m/m). The poor metabolizer was also m/m. The metabolic ratio of CYP2D6*10B m/m subjects were larger than wt/m and wild type, the values were -1.49±0.54, -2.20±0.49 and -2.47±0.61 (P<0.01). CONCLUSION　PCR-ASA was shown to be a rapid and specific method. It can be used to study the genetic polymorphism, especially CYP2D6 intermediate metabolism.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the cognition of clinical pharmacists on the clinical pharmacy practice and their profes-sion,and provide reference for further developing clinical pharmacy practice. METHODS:A questionnaire was designed,and ran-dom sample was conducted for the clinical pharmacists from 30 secondary and tertiary hospitals in Shanghai,and the investigation results were analyzed statistically. RESULTS:Totally 130 questionnaires were sent out,and 102 were effectively received with valid response rate of 78.46%. 94.11% of the investigated subjects were willing to be a clinical pharmacist,but 17.65% of them consid-ered that they were incompetent for their work;29.41% of them thought the current situation of clinical pharmacy practice was not ideal;all the respondents considered that the clinical pharmacist system should be implemented in medical and health institu-tions;the cognition and evaluation of investigated subjects in tertiary hospitals on clinical pharmacy practice and their profession was generally higher than those in secondary hospitals(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The clinical pharmacists in medical and health institutions in Shanghai showed high cognition on their profession,and the clinical pharmacy practice has already made some achievements,but many work still need to be improved. Therefore,clinical pharmacists should continuously study their profession-al knowledge and improve their professional skills and quality;hospitals and universities should strengthen the subject construction and personnel training of clinical pharmacy and deeply carry out the clinical pharmacist system;health administration departments should strengthen the related laws and regulations of clinical pharmacy;colleges and universities should strengthen the discipline construction and personnel training.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of quantitation of TGF-?1 mRNA of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) in type 2 diabetic patients at different stages of nephropathy (DN). Methods TGF-?1 mRNA transcription in PBMC was analyzed quantitatively by RT-PCR and dot blot in 93 cases of type 2 diabetic patients and 35 normal controls. Correlation of TGF-?1 mRNA in PBMC with 24 hours urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) was also analysed. Results TGF-?1 mRNA level of PBMC in type 2 diabetic patients was significantly higher than that in normal controls (1.56?1.00 vs 1.03?0.25, P

Objective To observe the dynamic changes in collagen type Ⅰ and collagen type Ⅲ in rabbits with schistosomiasis japonica and the treatment effect of gamma interferon on the degradation of collagens in schistosomal hepatic fibrosis.Methods Each rabbit was infected with 80?1 S japonicum cercariae. Liver operations were done at different time points after infection and the liver specimens were embedded with paraffin and stained with ? SMA, HE and picric acid Sirius red. The stained slides were observed under polarizing microscope and different collagen areas calculated by computer imagine analysis system. At the 16th week after infection, the infected rabbits received a single dose of praziquantel and gamma interferon for 8 weeks.Results The area percent of collagen type Ⅰ at the 28th week after infection (40 14?17 00) increased about seven fold compared with the 8th week group (5 73?3 40). The area percent of collagen type Ⅲ at the 28th week after infection (6 80?5 19) increased about six fold compared with the 8th week group (1 15?1 34). The ? SMA positive cells also increased significantly. After gamma interferon treatment, the area percent of collagen type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ decreased significantly, from 18 51?7 52 and 4 63?3 64 (before treatment) to 3 09?1 54 and 0 40?0 37 (0 and 4 weeks after treatment) ( P

Objective To investigate the radiation doses for the patients undergoing interventional radiology and to analyze the dose - influencing factors.MethodsThe clinical data of 461 patients undergoing interventional radiology,including cerebral angiography ( CEA ),cerebral aneurysm embolism ( CAE ),superselective hepatic arterial chemoembolization ( SHAG ),coronary angiography ( COA ),percutaneous intracoronary stent implantation ( PIS1 ),cardiac radiofrequency catheter ablation ( RFCA ),and permanent cardiac pacemaker implantation(PCPI) were collected to observe the cumulative air kerma (CAK),dose area product (DAP),and fluoroscopy time,and effective dose was estimated using the conversion factors.Results The effective doses for CEA,CAE,SHAG,COA,PISI,RFCA,and PCPI were (0.33 ±0.20),(0.49 ±0.35),(6.92 ±4.19),(0.76 ±0.91),(2.35 ± 1.47),(0.50 ±0.74),and (0.67 ±0.70) Sv,respectively.In 126 of the 416 patients (26%),the effective doses were greater than 1 Sv,and the effective doses of 10 person-times were greater than 10 Sv,all of which were observed in the patients undergoing SHAG.The CAK values for CEA,CAE,SHAG,COA,PISI,RFCA,and PCPIwere (0.55 ±0.43),(1.34 ± 1.11),(0.95 ±0.57),(0.32 ±0.31),(0.91 ±0.33),(0.16 ±0.22),and (0.15 ±0.14) Gy,respectively.The CAK values were greater than 1 Gy in 59 of the 461 patients ( 12.8% ),greater than 2 Gy in 11 cases (2.4%) ,and greater than 3 Gy in 1 CEA cases and 1 CEA case,respectively.Conclusions There is a wide variation range in radiation dose for different procedures.As most interventional radiology procedure can result in clinically significant radiation dose to the patient,stricter dose control should be carried out.

Objective To explore the optimum exposure factors in digital chest radiography.Methods Chest phantom was exposed under auto exposure control model with 73, 90, 125kV and S200,400,800 plus or minor 4 micro-adjust for each sensitivity grade. Meanwhile dose area product (DAP) was recorded and the value of IQFinv was analyzed automatically by Artinis CDRAD Analyzer 1.1. Ten volunteers were exposed with 73 kV, S800 - 2; 90 kV, S800 + 2 and 125 kV, S400 + 2. Two radiologists evaluated and scored image quality. Statistical analysis was performed using one way ANOVA test by SPSS 12. 0. Results ( 1 ) The quality scores of volunteers' images obtained with three combinations of exposure factors were 2. 7 ± 0. 5 for 73 kV group, 2. 9 ± 0. 3 for 90 kV group and 2. 8 ± 0. 4 for 125 kV group. The difference among them was not statistically significant ( F = 0. 587, P ＞ 0. 05 ). Whereas the DAP values were (29. 1 ± 7.9) mGy · cm2 for 73 kV group, ( 30. 5 ± 4. 5 ) mGy ·cm2 for 90 kV group and (40. 4 ±7.6) mGy · cm2 for 125 kV group, with statistically significant difference among them ( F = 9. 803, P ＜0. 01 ). (2) In all three kV conditions, DAP value of phantom declined when sensitivity increased. There was a difference of DAP value by 11％ between two successive sensitivity grades. Under the condition of same sensitivity, DAP value changed with kV in the following order: 73 kV ＞90 kV ＞ 125 kV. (3) The value of IQFinv decreased when sensitivity increased. Under the condition of same sensitivity, IQFinv changed with kV as follow: 73 kV ＞90 kV ＞ 125 kV. Conclusion The combination of exposure factors of 90 kV and S800 + 2-S800 +4 is optimum for digital chest radiography.

Objective To observe the change of liver sinusoid in BALB/c mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum and explore its relationship between the degree of hepatic fibrosis and liver function. Methods A model was established in BALB/c mice infected with cercariae of Schistosoma japonicum. The liver specimens of mice were used for pathological examination with routine and picric acid-sirius red staining to know the degree of hepatic fibrosis by semi-quantity. The expressions of C-IV and vWF in liver sinusoid were assayed through the immuhistochemistry staining. The serum ALT and AST were detected by the automatic biochemistry analyzer, and the ultramicrostructure of the liver tissue was observed by a transmission electron microscope. Results The number and diameter of fenestrations in SEC reduced 4 weeks after the infection. The fenestrations were disappeared and the base membrane established 8 weeks after the infection. The expressions of C-IV and vWF in liver sinusoid and the degree of hepatic fibrosis increased with the time after infection. The levels of serum ALT and AST were not correlated with the infection time. Conclusions The phenotype alteration of the hepatic sinusoidal endothelium may be a vital issue triggering the liver fibrosis induced by Schistosoma japoncium.
