Meth-ods:Clinical pharmacists analyzed the abnormal changes in the patients and looked for drug factors during the ward round with physi-cians. Results:Clinical pharmacists found drug-induced diseases and irrational drug use, and proposed the solutions accepted by phy-sicians. Conclusion:Clinical pharmacists should actively participate in the diagnosis and treatment of drug-induced diseases.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of points injection of mouse nerve growth factor in treating sciatic nerve injury.MethodAcupuncture point injection of injectable mouse nerve growth factorwas performed in 60 patients with sciatic nerve injury. Points Huantiao(GB30)and Zusanli(ST36)were selected. Treatment was given once daily, for a total of 30 times. Sensory and motor functions were assessed (MS and SS) and electromyography (EMG) was performed before and after treatment to compare motor nerve conduction velocities (MCV) and sensory nerve conduction velocities (SCV) in the injured nerves and EMG changes in the musclescontrolled by the injured nerves.ResultAfter treatment, nerve function was restored to more than S3M3, with an efficacy rate of 81.7%, in 49 patients. Neuro-electrophysiological study showed that regenerative potentials occurred, accounting for 71.7%,in43patients. Denervated potentials were fewer after treatment than before; there was a significant difference (P<0.05). The mean MCV value increased after treatment compared with before; there was a significant difference (P<0.05). ConclusionAcupuncture point injection of mouse nerve growth factor can markedly improve sensory and motor functions in the regions controlled by the injured sciatic nerve. It provides an effective way to promote the repair of sciatic nerves and the reconstruction of limb function after the nerves are injured.

Objective To explore the interventional effect of recombinant human brain natri-uretic peptide(rhBNP)on the patients with sepsis induced myocardial dysfunction by comparing N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(Nt-proBNP),troponin and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).Methods Forty septic patients were admitted into department of critical care medicine from February 2013 to May 201 5.They were randomly divided into control group and rhBNP group,with 20 patients in each group.Both groups received early goal directed therapy(EGDT),and rhBNP group re-ceived additional therapy of rhBNP 1.5 μg/kg bolus,and then 0.075 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 for 48 h.Con-trol group received saline in the same way.Vasoactive agents were used to maintain blood pressure. Concentration of plasma Nt-proBNP and troponin were determined at baseline,on days 1,3,and 7 day by point of care (POCT ).LVEF was also detected by transthoracic echocardiography. Results Concentrations of plasma Nt-proBNP and troponin in rhBNP group were lower than control group on days 1 and 3 (P <0.05).On day 3,levels of Nt-proBNP and troponin in both groups were higher than the days 1 and 7 (P <0.01).LVEF in the rhBNP group was higer than control group on days 3 and 7 (P <0.05 or P <0.01);On day 3,LVEF in both groups was significantly lower than the pre-therapy and day 7 (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ).Conclusion rhBNP can improve sepsis induced myocardial dysfunction by decreasing the Nt-proBNP and troponin levels with increased left ventricular ejection fraction.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasonography-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL).Methods Between May 2006 and June 2008,110 patients underwent PCNL by a single urological team at our hospital.The clinical data of the patients were retrospectively reviewed.Of the cases,supracostal access(the 11th intercostal space) was made in 62 patients(supracostal group),and subcostal access was obtained in 48 patients(subcostal group).Forty-five patients in the supracostal group(45/62) and 36 of the subcostal group(36/48) received CT three dimensional reconstruction.Results The stone free rate of the supracostal group was 72.6%(45/62),while that of the subcostal group was 60.4%(29/48;?2=1.818,P=0.178).The mean operation time of the supracostal group was(78.6?5.1) min,while that of the subcostal group was(102.4?7.1) min(t=-20.454,P=0.000).There was one patient in each group received blood transfusion.One patient in the supracostal group had pneumothorax and recovered uneventfully by conservative treatments.Conclusion Ultrasonography-guided PCNL via the supracostal approach is effective and safe with short operation time.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of helical CT dual-phase scan in diagnosis and staging in gastrointestinal tumor.Methods Helical CT dual-phase enhanced imaging features of gastrointestinal tumor proved by surgery and pathology in 69 cases were retrospectively reviewed.Results(1)The tumors in 55 cases were enhanced ovviously in the venous phase compared with that in arterial phase(P

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of valsartan associated with low-dose amiodarone on the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF), the left atrial diameter (LAD), P wave dispersion (Pd) and the maximum P wave duration (Pmax) in patients with paroxysmal AF. Methods 76 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) were randomized to valsartan (test group) and placebo (placebo group), both associated with low-dose amiodarone, and were followed up for 18 months. The patients were asked to report any episode of symptomatic atrial fibrillation and to perform an ECG as early as possible. AF load, Pmax, Pd and LAD were measured before and at the 6th, 12th, and 18th months after the treatment. Results At least one ECG-documented episode of AF was reported in 16% of the patients in test group and in 41% in placebo group, the difference was significant(P

Objective To assess endothelial function before and after pharmacological cardioversion for acute onset of atrial fibrillation(AF)in the patients with hypertension.Methods 37 consecutive hypertensive patients with acute AF were investigated,in whom sinus rhythm was restored by pharmacological cardioversion within 48 hours of arrhythmia onset without anticoagulant treatment.Of these 37 patients,17 cases treated with ACEI/ARB drugs were assigned to acute AF group 1,20 cases without using ACEI/ARB drugs were assigned to acute AF group 2.20 hypertensive patients with sinus rhythm were included as control group.Plasma markers of endothelial damage/dysfunction [von Willebrand factor(vWF),endothelin(ET)and nitric oxide(NO)] and E-selectin(E-sel,an index of endothelial activation)were measured in acute AF at baseline(pre-cardioversion)and on days 1,7,14,and 30 after cardioversion.The detected results were compared with the levels of controls.Results Plasma concentrations of ET,vWF and E-sel in acute AF group were significantly higher than those of control group;plasma level of NO in acute AF group was significantly lower compared to that of control group.After cardioversion,the plasma levels of ET decreased gradually to the levels of controls by the 7th day of sustaining sinus rhythm in acute AF group 1 and 30th day in acute AF group 2,and the plasma levels of vWF decreased to approach that of controls by the 14th day post-cardioversion in acute AF group 1 and 30th day in acute AF group 2.The NO level gradually increased to that of controls by the 14th day of sustaining sinus rhythm in acute AF group 1 and 30th day in acute AF group 2.Plasma level of E-sel returned to normal by the 7th day in the both groups of acute AF.Conclusion There were evidences of endothelial damage or dysfunction at acute onset of AF among the patients with hypertension,which persisted up to 30 days after cardioversion,and the use of ACEI/ARB might improve the normalization of endothelial function after cardioversion.

Objective To summarize the efficacy of epirubicin chemotherapy by intra-iliac arteral infusion for the high risk patients of postoperative bladder cancer. Methods Eighty-six patients with the bladder cancer at high risk of recurrence who had undergone the bladder-sparing surgery were divided into two groups.Thirty-one patients were treated by intra-iliac arterial infusion chemotherapy of epirubicin and the remaining 55 patients had no chemotherapy.An analysis on recurrence related factors was made by multivariate Cox regression analysis models.And Kaplan-Meier curves were compared using the log-rank test on the disease-free between the two groups. Results Multi-recurrence associated with a higher grade and postoperative intra-iliac arterial infusion chemotherapy of epirubicin were significantly important factors,the former being risk factor and the latter being protective factor of cancer recurrence in bladder respectively.The recurrence of 9 in 31 patients (29%) with intra-iliac arterial infusion chemotherapy of epirubicin was significantly lower than that of 30 in 55 patients (54%) without chemotherapy ( P

50Gy) in solitary or limited BM subgroup seemed to survive longer. However in the Cox mu ltivariate analysis, only KPS, numbers of BM, extracranial systemic metastasis a nd chemotherapy were significant prognostic factors. Just as those of RPA subgro ups, the median survival from the start of WBRT was 3, 9, 16 months in 3 PI subg roups respectively.Conclusions:Overall survival in BM from breast cancer remains p oor. KPS, numbers of BM, extracranial systemic metastasis and chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors. RPA classification can predict the prognosis of patients with BM from breast cancer, so can the PI model.
