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 To study the radiosensitivity enhancement effects of recombinant adenovirus mediated retinoblastoma 94 gene on the growth of esophageal carcinoma cells EC109.Methods EC109cells was transfected with recombinant Rb94 gene adenovirus and irradiated by 137Cs γ-rays.The cohorts were divided into groups as blank control,Ad-LacZ,Ad-Rb94,radiation and Ad-Rb94 combined with radiation.Cell inhibition ratio,cell cycle and expression of retinoblastoma protein of EC109 cells were analyzed.Results The growth of EC109 cells transfected with Ad-Rb94,radiation and Ad-Rb94 combined with radiation group was all inhibited.The group of Ad-Rb94 combined with radiation resulted in greater inhibition of cells growth compared with Ad-Rb94 group and radiation group ( F =23.31,P <0.05 ).Cells of G2 phases of EC109 cancinoma cells for Ad-Rb94 combined with radiation group were the highest,which was 50%.The combination of Ad-Rb94 and radiation group resulted in the greatest expression of retinoblastoma protein,which reached 71%,significantly higher than Ad-Rb94 infection and radiation groups ( x2 =8.31,6.73,P < 0.05 ).Conclusions Retinoblastoma 94 gene combined with ionizing radiation can enhance the radiation sensitivity of EC109 cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of simulated microgravity on the proliferation and differentiation of the human megakaryocyte cells in vitro. Methods The fourth generation rotating cell culture system (RCCS-4) was used to generate the simulated microgravity environment. The cell viability was assessed by trypan blue staining method. The proliferation of cells was assessed by cell counting method and CCK8 method. The CD41+/CD61+ cells rate and the cells cycle were detected by flow cytometry. The expression levels of thrombopoietin receptor (c-mpl) and transcription factors were detected with RT-PCR. Results After 24, 48, 72 h, culture under simulated microgravity resulted in a significant decrease in the cell number , proliferative activity, cells in the G2/M phase and levels of c-mpl mRNA expression in comparison with that under the normal gravity (P < 0.05). After 48 h and 72 h culture, CD41+/CD61+ cells ratio decreased and RUNX-1 mRNA expression was down-regulated in cells of the group SMG compared with that of the group NG (P < 0.05). Conclusion Microgravity can inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of human megakaryocyte cells in vitro. The mechanism may be that TPO/c-mpl pathway was inhibited by down regulating the expression of c-mpl which transcriptional inhibition lead to.

Objective To explore the characteristics of emotional identification and emotional intel-ligence of the adolescent methamphetamine addicts,and analyze the correlation between the emotional identi-fication and emotional intelligence.Methods 47 adolescent methamphetamine addicts ( experimental group) and 47 healthy volunteers ( control group) were tested by a self-designed questionnaire,Baron Emo-tional Quotient Inventory ( EQ-i) and experiments of emotional identification.Results The scores of correct responses of positive mood and negative mood of the adolescent methamphetamine addicts ( respectively 28.62±10.60,50.83±18.58) were lower than the healthy volunteers (respectively 32.91±7.30, t=-2.29, P<0.05;62.47±15.75, t=-3.28, P<0.01) .There were significant differences on the sense of responsibility ( re-spectively 33.28±3.79,36.47±4.31;t=-3.81, P<0.01) and impulse control ( respectively 24.81±6.03,30.11 ±5.65;t=-4.40, P<0.01) between the adolescent methamphetamine addicts and the healthy volunteers. While there was no difference on the total score of emotional intelligence between the two groups( t=-0.66, P>0.05) .In the dimension of emotional intelligence,the individual components,the general state of mind,the management of pressure,and the adaptive composition were related to the emotional identification( r 1=0.39, r 2=-0.33, r 3=-0.39, r 4=0.32) .Conclusion The adolescent methamphetamine addicts had some de-fects on the emotional identification and lack of responsibility and impulse control ability.The emotional in-telligence had influence on their emotional identification.

Objective To investigate the cognitive characteristics and vascular risk factor between early onset de?pression and late onset depression in late life depression and provide a clue to elucidate the cause of cognitive impairment in late life depression. Method Fifty-six late life depression patients were recruited in our hospital, including 29 early on?set depression patients and 27 late onset depression patients. 25 controls were recruited from Guangzhou community. Cog?nitive evaluation were conducted in all the patients and controls, including MMSE, memory, attention, language, visuospa?tial abilities,executive function and Framingham vascular risk assessment, and analyze the cognitive and vascular risk be?tween the patients. Result There were statistically significant differences in overall cognitive assessment MMSE(24.8 ± 2.9,22.8±3.5,P=0.030), symbol digit modalities test(SDMT)(29.8±10.5, 22.9±11.8, P=0.028), clock drawing test(CDT) (3.6 ± 0.8, 2.9 ± 1.3, P=0.006) and trail making test(TMT) (60.4 ± 20.6, 74.7 ± 28.8, P=0.027) between late onset depression and early onset depression. In addition, the score of vascular risk assessment was significant between late onset depression and early onset depression(14.6±2.7,12.3±2.2,P=0.001). Conclusion Compare with early onset depression, late onset de?pression has much severe cognitive impairments and increased vascular risk factors.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the possibility of urethral reconstruction with colonic mucosa for the treatment of complex longer urethral stricture (>/= 10 cm).
METHODSFrom October 2000 to September 2001, 6 patients with complex longer urethral stricture were treated with colonic mucosal graft urethroplasty. They had under gone 3 previous unsuccessful urethral repairs on average. Urethral reconstruction with a free graft of colonic mucosa ranged from 10 to 15 cm (mean 12.17 cm). Follow-up included retrograde urethrography, urethroscopy, and uroflowmetry.
RESULTSThe patients were followed up 3 - 14 months postoperatively (mean 7.8 months). Meatal stenosis developed in one patient 3 months after operation needed reoperation. The patient voided very well with urinary peak flow 28.7 ml per second duing follow-up for 12 months postoperatively. The other patients voided well with urinary peak flow greater than 15 ml per second. At urethroscopy, colonic mucosa was macroscopically difficult to distinguish from normal original urethral mucosa in 4 patients over 6 months after the operation.
CONCLUSIONSColonic mucosa graft urethroplasty is feasible for the treatment of complex longer anterior urethral stricture. The technique is useful for urethral reconstruction when penial skin and bladder mucosa are not available.
