Objective To compare the value of 99m Tc-DTPA dynamic renal imaging and intravenous pyelography(IVP) in assessing renal function. Methods The results of 99m Tc-DTPA dynamic renal imaging and IVP in 117 patients with renal diseases confirmed by clinical examinations, abdominal ultrasonography, CT and blood biochemical markers were analysed retrospectively. Results Out of 234 kidneys,101 were clearly visualized by IVP, which were indicated normal renal uptake by 99m Tc-DTPA dynamic renal imaging, and the GFR value was (60.13?16.85)ml/min. 48 kidneys were poorly visualized by IVP, their uptake detected by dynamic renal imaging was between grade 1 to 3, and the GFR value was (23.06?10.61)ml/min. 85 kidneys were not visualized by IVP, 71.8% of which(61/85kidneys) were indicated uptake of radionuclide by dynamic renal imaging with the (20.39?12.54)ml/min GFR value, and uptake of 8 kidneys among the 61 kidneys was normal. The functional kidneys detected by dynamic renal imaging were more than those detected by IVP(P

OBJECTIVETo observe the curative effect of Qianjin Kouchuang Jiawei Granule (QKJG) on recurrent oral ulceration [yin deficiency fire excess type (YDFET)].

METHODSTotally 120 patients who suffered from recurrent oral ulceration (YDFET) were randomly assigned to two groups, the experiment group and the control group, 60 in each group. Patients in the experiment group took QKJG, 20 g each time, twice per day, while those in the control group took Kouyanqing Granule (KG) , 20 g each time, twice per day. Fourteen days consisted of one therapeutic course, two for all. Scores for patients' symptoms and signs (ulcer area, exudation, hyperaemia, edema, the number of ulceration, burning sensation, and pain degrees) were assessed before treatment, at day 3 and 7 after treatment. Short-term efficacy was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS). The total paralysis time and the total number of ulceration at month 12 after treatment were taken as judgment for long-term efficacy. Results Compared with before treatment in the same group, symptoms and signs were obviously improved at day 3 and 7 after treatment in the two groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group at day 3 after treatment, the improvement of edema, exudation, pain degree, and burning sensation was more obvious in the experiment group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The improvement of edema, pain degree, and burning sensation at day 7 after treatment was more obvious in the experiment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). As for short-term efficacy, the total effective rate was 86.67% (52/60 cases) in the experiment group and 83.33% (50/60 cases) in the control group, with no statistical difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). As for long-term efficacy, the total effective rate was 90.00% (54/60 cases) in the experiment group, significantly higher than that of the control group with statistical difference [81.67% (49/60 cases), P < 0.05]. At month 12 after treatment, the total number of ulceration was reduced and the paralysis time of ulcer attack prolonged in the experiment group, with statistical difference when compared with the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONQKJG showed better long-term efficacy than that of KG in treating recurrent oral ulceration (YDFET).

Objective:To share the experience of clinical cooperation of physicians and clinical pharmacists in the treatment of one case of rodenticide poisoning. Methods: One case of rodenticide poisoning was early diagnosed by physicians according to the con-sciousness disorder and coagulation dysfunction. Clinical pharmacists participated in the drug treatment actively through providing vita-min K1 at the dose of 30 mg·d-1 as the treatment dose and monitoring the effectiveness. Toxicology analysis was recommended, and 718 ng·ml-1 bromadiolone was found out in the blood samples. According to the long half-life of bromadiolone, the initial duration of treatment was set at 2-3 months, while follow-up plan and final duration of treatment were defined based on coagulation parameters and poison concentration monitoring results. Results:The patient recovered rapidly after hospitalization due to the cooperation of physicians and clinical pharmacists through quickly correcting diagnosis of physicians and actively participating in medication of clinical pharma-cists. After the 3-month treatment, the coagulation parameters of the patient were normal and the patient was discharged with follow-up. Conclusion:The collaboration of physicians and clinical pharmacists leads to the optimal regimen with early, full dose and long course of vitamin K1 therapy.

Objective To detect characteristics and the pathogenesis of rhodopsin (RHO) gene mutation in an inbreeding family with autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (ARRP). Methods Peripheral venous blood 5-8 ml was abstracted from 8 members in the inbreeding ARRP family and 10 control individuals. DNA gene group was picked. Extron 1-5 of RHO gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR),and the mutation of RHO gene was screened by direct DNA sequence measurement. Results The Gln-344-Arg mutation in the RHO gene was detected in 3 patients with ARRP and homozygotes of the mutation in 3 patients were found. Heterozygous of the mutation was detected in the parent of patients and 1 healthy family member. No mutation of RHO gene was found in 2 healthy family members and 10 control individuals. Conclusions The Gln-344-Arg mutation in the RHO gene may be the pathogenic factor of the ARRP family; the frequency of the mutation of RHO gene may increase in the inbreeding ARRP family.
