Objective To investigate the clinical effects of the treatment of cancer pain control by the partic-ipation of pharmacist,and the effect on cancer patients and families mental state and quality of life.Methods Clini-cal pharmacists took participate in the standardized treatment of pain,before and after different intervention,NRS scale was used to assess the patients'pain,self -rating anxiety scale(SAS)and self -rating depression scale(SDS)were used to assess the patients and families'psychological mental status.SF -36 scale was used to assess the quality of life.Results Compared with pre -intervention,two weeks later,the overall situation of patients with pain was signifi-cantly improved[NRS score (4.72 ±1.13)points vs.(3.57 ±0.97)points,t =7.722,P <0.01].Patients and their families,anxiety and depression significantly alleviated [patients:SAS (32.56 ±4.66 )points vs.(60.31 ± 4.27)points,t =38.180,P <0.01,SDS (45.89 ±5.46)points vs.(68.34 ±6.23)points,t =28.250,P <0.01;families:SAS(33.76 ±4.82)points vs.(50.31 ±6.47)points,t =15.593,P <0.01,SDS (32.89 ±3.54)points vs. (52.34 ±6.23)points,t =15.593,P <0.01 ].At the same time,the patients and families'quality of life were improved.Conclusion Clinical pharmaceutical care can relieve the body pain,meanwhile,those could effectively relieve the anxiety,depression and other negative psychology of cancer patients and families,improve the whole quality of life.

Objective To investigate the protection of agmatine on blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability and the effect on the expression of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in ischemic reperfusion injury rats.Methods Sixty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group (NC),model group and agmatine group,and there were 20 rats in each group.Normal control group was treated with intraperitoneal injection of saline in 2 hours after incision and suture of skin.Model group was treated with intraperitoneal injection of saline in 2 hours after the establishment of middle cerebral artery occulation (MCAO) model.Agmatine group was treated with intraperitoneal injection of agmatine (AGM) in 2 hours after the establishment of MCAO model.The damage of blood brain barrier was detected by measuring the permeability of blood brain barrier.The infarct size of brain was observed with TTC staining.The morphological changes of neurons were observed with electron microscope.The expressions of AQP4 and MMP9 were detected using immunohistochemical method.Results The permeability of BBB of agmatine treatment group (0.31±0.10) decreased significantly compared with the model group (0.46±0.09) (P<0.05),but was still significantly higher than the normal control group (0.24±0.12) (P<0.05).There was no infarction area in normal control group and the infarction areas of agmatine group decreased obviously compared with the model group.Compared with model group,the number of neurons with morphological changes reduced significantly and the degree of pathological changes of neurons was obviously improved in agmatine group.Compared with normal control group,the expression of AQP4 and MMP9 in ischemic penumbra of left cerebral hemisphere parietal cortex in the rats of model group and agmatine group increased significantly(P<0.05).And the expression of AQP4 and MMP9 in model group was significantly higher than that of agmatine group(P<0.05).Conclusion Agmatine has a protective effect on BBB with ischemia-reperfusion injury due to its down-regulation the expression of AQP-4 and MMP-9.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of a delivery pathway for the performance of percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion in experimental canine models. Methods Transseptal puncture was performed via femoral vein approach under fluoroscopic and angiographic guidance in 12 experimental dogs. A pigtail catheter was advanced into the left atrium (LA), which was followed by LA angiography. The diameters of the neck of LAA were measured on LAA angiogram obtained in appropriate projection. After the delivery sheath was advanced along the wire into LA, a pigtail catheter was inserted into the ostium of the LAA and the sheath was then advanced over the pigtail into the LAA. LAA angiography was then performed through the delivery sheath to confirm the position of the delivery sheath. One hour after the procedure both electrocardiography (ECG) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) were carried out in five dogs to check the results, immediately after which the five dogs were sacrificed to macroscopically observe the damages of the puncture site of inter-atrial septum as well as inside the LA and LAA. One hour and 2 weeks after the procedure TTE was conducted in the remaining 7 dogs and these dogs were followed up for one month. Results One dog died of pericardial tamponade during the operation. In 8 dogs the LAA was clearly displayed in the projection position of right anterior oblique (RAO) 30°/cranial (CRA) 20°,while in 3 dogs the LAA was well visualized in the projection position of RAO 30° , and in one dog in the projection position of RAO 30°/caudal (CAU) 20°. The diameter of LAA neck was (13.6 ± 5.2) mm. The delivery sheath was safely advanced into the LAA along the pigtail catheter in all dogs, and no air embolism, thrombus or pericardial tamponade occurred. Hematoma at puncture point of groin occurred in 2 dogs, which was absorbed through pressure dressing. Macroscopic examination of the heart performed immediately after the operation showed that no bloody pericardial effusion was found, and mild hematoma at posterior wall of LA was seen in one dog and mild damage of the upper-margin intima of LAA was noted in 2 dogs. The mean fluoroscopy time was (10.1 ± 2.5) minutes and the mean operation time was (58 ± 12) minutes. TEE showed no pericardial effusion 2 weeks after the procedure. During the follow-up period of one month no sudden death, stroke or infection occurred. Conclusion This method of placing the delivery sheath into the LAA is clinically safe and effective, and it can reliably establish a pathway to advance the LAA occluder into LAA.

Objective To introduce a practical high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS)method for the detection of seven growth hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs)including GHRP-1,GHRP-2,GHRP-4,GHRP-5,GHRP-6,Hexarelin and Alexamorelin and two growth hormone secretagogues(GHS)including anamorelin and ipamorelin,and study the stability of these nine substances in the human urine.Method The urine samples were purified and extracted by a solid phase extraction procedure using Oasis(R) WCX column.The urine was first centrifuged and taken out 1 mL into a small column,cleaned by 5% NH4OH and 20% CH3CN respectively,eluated using the mixture of water and acetomitrile(1/3)with 2% formic acid,blow-dried in the nitrogen at 35℃ and finally redissolved to be injected into the LC-MS/MS.Result The limits of detection were between 0.01~0.5 ng/mL accordingly.The spiked recoveries at the low concentration(1 ng/mL),medium concentration(2 ng/mL)and high concentration(10 ng/mL)ranged between 40% and 76%.The intra-and interday precisions of the target substances at these three concentrations were all less than 15%.The indoor temperature,refrigeration condition and multigelation were observed to have significant impact on the anamorelin,GHRP-2,GHRP-4 and GHRP-5.Conclusion The method established in this study is simple,and its specificity and sensitivity meets the international standard and technical documents for laboratories set up by the Wworld Anti-Doping Agency.It has been applied in our routine work.Multigelation should be avoided in the transport,detection and long-term laboratory storage of urine samples.
