Objective To compare the clinical effectiveness of external fixation,expert tibial nail (ETN) and minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) in the treatment of AO type 43A tibial fractures.Methods The clinical data of 102 patients with AO type 43A tibial fracture were retrospectively analyzed who had been treated from June 2010 to June 2014.They were 68 men and 34 women,from 18 to 71 years of age (average,36 years).By AO classification,there were 36 cases of type A1,45 ones of type A2,and 21 ones of type A3.External fixation was used in 30 cases,MIPPO in 42,and ETN in 30.The 3 groups were compared in terms of operation time,blood loss,fracture healing time,complications and functional evaluation according to American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) criteria for middle and fore foot.Results The operation time in external fixation group (72.7 ± 16.1 min) was significantly less than in MIPPO group (101.5±15.1 min) and ETN group (115.0±11.2 min) (P <0.05).The blood loss and fracture healing time in external fixation group were (320.6 ±40.8 mL) and (160.6 ± 25.0 days),significantly greater than in MIPPO group (125.5 ± 27.3 mL and 120.3 ± 20.2 days)and ETN group (124.2±25.4mL and 125.5±25.6 days) (P <0.05).The total complication rate in external fixation group (53.3%,16/30) was significantly higher than in MIPPO group (9.5%,4/42) and ETN group (10.0%,3/30) (P < 0.05).The total AOFAS excellent to good rate in external fixation group (66.7%,20/30) was significantly lower than in MIPPO group (88.1%,37/42) and ETN group (90.0%,27/30) (P < 0.05).However,there were no significant differences between MIPPO and ETN groups concerning all the above outcome indicators (P > 0.05).Conclusions For AO type 43A tibial fractures,internal fixation should be the first choice.Both MIPPO and ETN can lead to good clinical efficacy.However,in cases where internal fixation is not suitable,external fixation with distal lateral tibial nails at the Chaput tuberosity can obtain satisfactory ankle function.

Uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid transferase (UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, UGT) is an important Ⅱmetabolic enzymes in the body. It is invovled in the metabolism of exogenous compounds, and also in endogenous substances such as bile acid metabolism and regulation. Parsing uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid transferase mediated bile acid metabolism and its influence factors can help enhance related disease treatment and prevention. Studies have shown that the interaction between UGT and bile acids is influenced by many endogenous and exogenous factors. This paper will focus on the effects of internal and exogenous factors such as nuclear receptors, genetic factors, xenobiotics and liver-related diseases on the action of UGT enzyme, and discuss the potential mechanism of bile acid balance intervention.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the status quo of knowledge-attitude-practice(KAP)of medication in residents,and to explore potential risk factors that may affect medication. METHODS:By approximate random sampling,online(wenjuanxing)and offline method (5 communities of Chengdu city) were used to collect general information (gender, age, monthly income, residence,medical insurance,education level,working condition,occupation)of the residents aged 19 year-old above and conduct KAP investigation during Jul.-Aug. 2017. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influence of residents'general information on KAP. RESULTS:A total of 517 online and offline valid questionnaires were obtained, including 200 offline questionnaires were sent out and 184 valid questionnaires were returned with recovery rate of 92%. Average scores of medication knowledge,attitude and practice were (71.4 ± 32.3),(33.7 ± 14.0),(60.7 ± 19.4),which all reached"good"in the evaluation standard of questionnaire results. The results of multiple linear regression showed that elderly and low education level were the significant influential factors of residents'lack of medication knowledge. The male,elderly,low income and low education level were the influential factors of poor drug use behavior. The residents with poor attitudes towards medication were low income and low educated population. CONCLUSIONS:The average risk of residents'medication in China is low,but it is still necessary to strengthen medication education for special people. It is requisite to focus on the elderly,the low education level,the low income population and the male residents.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of clinical pharmacists in medication therapy management (MTM). METHODS: Referring to the practice model of MTM in the United States, taking a noninfectious chronic disease (obesity diabetes mellitus) patient as an example, clinical pharmacists of endocrinology specialty carried out MTM according to five processes, such as patient information collection, medication therapy review, the formulation of medication-related action plan (MRP), interventions related to direct communication with physicians or advising patients to consult relevant medical service personnel, record and follow-up. RESULTS: The information of patients collected by clinical pharmacists included past medical history, family history, allergy history and medication history, etc. It was the top priority MRP for this patient to identify inappropriate hypoglycemic drug therapy, obesity-induced obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome and hyperlipidemia. For obesity patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, clinical pharmacists recommend that patients changed insulin drugs to non-insulin drugs, and liraglutide was recommended. In view of the poor control of blood lipid level, fenofibrate was recommended for patients on the basis of oral administration of simvastatin. The patient’s attending physician agreed with the above suggestion and adjusted the prescription. Clinical pharmacists provided medication education for the patients about the importance of each drug, control of total energy intake, balanced diet and physical exercise. The follow-up results after 6 months showed that blood glucose (fasting blood glucose 5-7 mmol/L, postprandial blood glucose 8-10 mmol/L) and blood lipid (total cholesterol 4.80 mmol/L, triglyceride 1.60 mmol/L, low density lipoprotein 3.05 mmol/L) of the patient were effectively controlled and body weight was reduced by 3 kg, but the improvement of lifestyle was poor, mainly due to the nature of his work. Clinical pharmacists once again communicated with him and emphasized the importance of proper physical exercise. The patients agreed to continue the follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Clinical pharmacists can provide professional consultation and service for patients with chronic diseases by means of MTM service mode, which has certain value for improving medical quality.
