OBJCETIVE:To investigate the role of clinical pharmacists in medication reconciliation. METHODS:Totally 200 inpatients admitted or transferred to nephrology department of our hospital during Aug.-Oct. 2015 were selected. Within 48 h after admission,1-year medication history were collected by reviewing electronic medical records,consultation,querying self-prepared drugs and medical history;and then medication reconciliation was conducted by clinical pharmacists. RESULTS:Among drug lists collected by clinical pharmacists,there were 987 kinds of drugs,but only 9.63%(95 kinds) drugs were recorded in the medical records. There were 5 cases of ADR in total,and only 40.00% of them (2 cases) were recorded in the medical records. Among 200 patients,medication reconciliation was needed in 45 cases with reconciliation rate of 22.50%. Among 492 medical orders of 200 patients,medication errors were found in 103 medical orders;the number of medication errors per case was (2.3 ± 1.8), mainly including wrong dose,repeated medication,wrong solvent,drug interactions;the potential risk degree was mainly degree 1 (53 orders,51.46%). Among 103 medication reconciliation orders,main plans were drug withdrawal (78 cases,75.73%), followed by drug change(17 cases,16.50%)and drug supplement(8 cases,7.77%). A total of 90 reconciled medical orders were adopted by physicians,with success rate of 87.38%. CONCLUSIONS:Compared with physicians,clinical pharmacists can obtain more detailed and accurate drug list. It can reduce medication error and guarantee the safety of drug use to maximum extent that clinical pharmacists conduct medication reconciliation.

Objective We aimed to use 1H-MRS to characterize metabolite concentrations in the bilateral hippo?campus in GPI patient. Methods Metabolite ratios in the bilateral hippocampus were compared between patients with GPI (n=52) and Normal Control (NC) (n=38). Clinical neurological tests were measured in all subjects and were correlat?ed to the metabolite concentrations. Results The GPI patients showed significantly lower concentrations of N-acetylas?partate(NAA)/creatine(Cr) ratios in the bilateral hippocampus region compared to the NC subjects. There was significant?ly difference in the NAA/Cr ratios between the mild GPI dementia and the severe GPI dementia groups on the left hippo?campus region. We found that the NAA/Cr ratios concentrations were positively correlated with Mini Mental state Exami?nation (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale (MoCA) scores in the left hippocampus region and the mI/Cr ra?tios concentrations were positively correlated. Conclusions GPI Patients have neuronal dysfunction in the bilateral hippo?campus. The severity of cognitive impairments is associated with the severity of the damage in the left side.

Intermittent fasting,as a dietary nutrition program of fasting and eating alternately,mainly includes alternate-day fasting,time-restricted fasting,periodic fasting and Ramadan fasting.Positive effects of intermittent fasting on metabolic disea-ses such as obesity,diabetes and cardiovascular disease has been confirmed,but its effect on exercise performance is yet to be re-vealed.This paper summarizes the effects of intermittent fasting on anaerobic exercise,aerobic endurance exercise and strength alternation as well as related mechanism.It can provide theoretical reference for diet optimization,intermittent fasting selection and scientific exercise amony athletes,sports enthusiasts and patients with chronic diseases.

Objective To explore the plasma levels of soluble CD40 (sCD40) and soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) in the patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and those with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Methods The levels of plasma sCD40 and sCD40L were measured in 20 patients with AD, 35 patients with aMCI, and 32 cognitively normal controls (NC) using commercially available ELISAs. The cognitive function of AD and aMCI patients was mea?sured by mini-mental state examination (MMSE). Results There were significant differences in plasma sCD40 among AD, aMCI and NC groups (P<0.05) as the medians (the upper and lower quartiles) of plasma levels were 123.3 (97.4, 149.5) pg/mL, 102.9 (63.6, 124.0) pg/mL and 70.66 (51.0, 90.8) pg/mL, respectively. There were significant differences in plasma sCD40L among AD, aMCI and NC groups (P<0.05) as plasma levels were 537.0 (316.0, 1134.0) pg/mL, 316.0 (190.0,546.0) pg/mL and 167.0 (107.5,478.0) pg/mL. A negative correlation between the plasma concentrations of sCD40L and the MMSE scores was found in aMCI patients (r=-0.736, P<0.001). Conclusions There are relevant chang?es of plasma sCD40 and sCD40L levels in patients with AD and aMCI. The present results suggest that plasma levels of sCD40 and sCD40L may be appropriate biomarkers for AD patients and indicate that CD40-CD40L signaling may be in?volved in AD pathophysiology.

A 72-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital due to chronic cough, expectoration and dyspnea for 10 years,aggravated with intermittent fever for 1 month. She was diagnosed as acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis,chronic pulmonary heart disease,cardiac function class IV,bilateral lower extremity venous thrombosis and thrombocytopenia. The application of antico-agulant drugs and coagulant drugs in the patient needed to be well weighed with the methods of the bleeding score system combined with clinical assessment of actual risk of bleeding. The interactions of drugs harmful to the patient should be considered and the prognosis of the patient should also be evaluated with careful clinical thought to reduce the patient's risk.

Objective To evaluate the development, hot spots and trends of the fields of neurogenic bladder.Methods The relevant articles of neurogenic bladder from January, 2000 to June, 2021 in CNKI and Web of Science were retrieved.The countries, authors, institutions, cited reference and keywords were extracted with CiteSpace to draw knowledge mapping. Results and Conclusion A total of 5 064 articles were enrolled. At present, the research on the field of neurogenic bladder is in a stable period of development, and this field has been widely concerned by scholars at home and abroad. The cooperation between domestic authors and institutions is not close enough compared with foreign countries, and domestic cooperation is more between medical schools and their respective affiliated hospitals. In the future, China can further strengthen cross-regional and cross-agency cooperation. Low-frequency electrical stimulation and sacral nerve regulation are seem to be research hotspots, and children's neurogenic bladder and robot-assisted technologies are also needed more attention.

The mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) has been recently identified as a neurotrophic factor, but its role in hepatic fibrosis is unknown. Here, we found that MANF was upregulated in the fibrotic liver tissues of the patients with chronic liver diseases and of mice treated with CCl4. MANF deficiency in either hepatocytes or hepatic mono-macrophages, particularly in hepatic mono-macrophages, clearly exacerbated hepatic fibrosis. Myeloid-specific MANF knockout increased the population of hepatic Ly6Chigh macrophages and promoted HSCs activation. Furthermore, MANF-sufficient macrophages (from WT mice) transfusion ameliorated CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis in myeloid cells-specific MANF knockout (MKO) mice. Mechanistically, MANF interacted with S100A8 to competitively block S100A8/A9 heterodimer formation and inhibited S100A8/A9-mediated TLR4-NF-κB signal activation. Pharmacologically, systemic administration of recombinant human MANF significantly alleviated CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis in both WT and hepatocytes-specific MANF knockout (HKO) mice. This study reveals a mechanism by which MANF targets S100A8/A9-TLR4 as a "brake" on the upstream of NF-κB pathway, which exerts an impact on macrophage differentiation and shed light on hepatic fibrosis treatment.
