China Pharmacist 2015;(3):437-438,448
Objective:To evaluate the effect of alkalinized lidocaine with endotracheal intubation intracuff injection on the occur-rence of cough and sore throat in the smoking patients after operation. Methods:A prospective and double-blind trial was carried out. Totally 50 smoking patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled. The patients were randomly allocated to receive either ETT intracuff injection of alkalinized 2% lidocaine (group L) or ETT intracuff injection of 0. 9% saline (group S). The inci-dence of cough and sore throat in the two groups was compared. The duration of anesthesia and the time between anesthesia termination and extubation were also recorded. Results:Group L was superior to group S in reducing cough (P<0. 001). The incidence of postop-erative sore throat in group L was significantly lower than that in group S in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) (P<0. 05). How-ever, the incidence of sore throat was not significantly different in the two groups at 24h after the extubation (P>0. 05). Conclusion:The intracuff injection of alkalinized lidocaine is superior to saline in decreasing the incidence of postoperative cough and sore throat in smoking patients.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of nutritional status on postoperative outcomes for patients with gastric cancer. Methods:Data of 353 gastric cancer patients at Xinjiang Medical University Affiliated Tumor Hospital between January 2013 and October 2014 were collected prospectively. Preoperative nutritional status was evaluated using Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002). Postoperative complication rates were compared among different preoperative nutritional status. Results:On the basis of NRS 2002, the morbidities of patients with and without malnutrition risk were 47.0%(77/164) and 31.2%(59/189), respectively (P=0.002). Among the patients with an NRS score of at least 3, the complication rate was significantly lower in the group with preoperative nutrition than in the group of patients without preoperative nutrition support (P=0.013). NRS 2002 was a significant predictor of postoperative complications (P=0.039, OR=1.634, 95%CI:1.025-2.606) on the basis of multivariable logistic regression analysis. Conclusion:As a nutritional evaluation tool, NRS 2002 may predict postoperative complications for gastric cancer patients.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the rational use of haemocoagulase hemostatic drugs in the clinic by under-standing the perioperative utilization. METHODS:In retrospective study,1 200 discharge records of perioperative prophylactic ap-plication of haemocoagulase hemostatic drugs were collected randomly during Jan.-Dec. 2014.,and then analyzed statistically in re-spects of consumption sum and amount,application,irrational drug use,etc. The cost of hemocoagulase accounted for 7.39% of total drug cost,among which Haemocoagulase agkistrodon for injection had the highest consumption amount and sum,with utiliza-tion ratio of 51.44%. Average medication time of hemocoagulase during perioperative period was 2.36d;maximal average cost of hemocoagulase was 684.52 yuan in ENT and head and neck surgery department/ stomatology department;ENT and head and neck surgery department/ stomatology department,urinary surgery department had long average medication time,being 3.85d and 3.50d. RESULTS:Only 39.42% haemocoagulase hemostatic drugs were reasonably used during perioperative period. The unreasonable manifestation included:improper medication time(52.15%), too long medication course after operation(35.75%),wrong usage (5.61%)and replacing various haemocoagulase hemostatic drugs without reason(5.06%). CONCLUSIONS:The striking phenome-non of irrational use of haemocoagulase hemostatic drugs during perioperative period is severely worrying,so we need to strength-en the standard management and pharmaceutical supervision and intervention by clinical pharmacists.

Objective:To investigate the differentially expressed miRNAs in serum collected post operation and compared these miR-NAs with those collected pre-surgery among patients suffering from glioblastoma multiform (GBM) and undergoing regular clinical fol-low-up. These miRNAs may be potential biomarkers for the post-operative evaluation of patients with GBM. Methods:Forty-eight pa-tients with GBM and clinical pathological diagnosis were enrolled in this study. In the initial biomarker screening stage, total RNAs were extracted and subjected to Solexa sequencing to select miRNAs with significantly altered expression pre-and post-operation. Some of these differentially expressed miRNAs were chosen and verified through TaqMan probe-based qRT-PCR assay. A t-test was performed to determine the miRNAs that satisfied the two criteria, namely, fold change>2 and P<0.05. All of the patients were fol-lowed-up, and survival data were collected. The patients were then classified into two groups, namely, long-and short-survival groups, on the basis of the median of the miR-30e expression levels in the sera collected post-operation. Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test (SPSS version 19.0, IBM) were employed to determine the possible relationships between miR-30e expression levels in the sera collected post-operation and patients' overall survival. Results: Solexa revealed 63 differentially expressed miRNAs. Four miRNAs, namely, miR-26b, miR-30e, miR-129-3p, and miR-206, were selected on the basis of previous and present findings. These miRNAs were then verified in the RT-qPCR phase. Among these miRNAs, only miR-30e was significantly upregulated post-operation. The serum miR-30e expression level post-operation was not significantly associated with the overall survival of the patients. A low miR-30e expression level corresponded to prolonged survival. Conclusion:miR-30e was upregulated in the sera collected post-operation from patients with GBM. This miRNA may be negatively related to the tumor load of these patients. The miR-30e expression level in the serum col-lected post-surgery serum was not significantly associated with overall survival. Therefore, miR-30e may serve as a novel potential non-invasive biomarker for the post-operative evaluation of patients with GBM.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the problems about the prescription review by the monitoring system for rational drug use (PASS 1.6.1.7) and discuss the countermeasures. METHODS:A retrospective method was adopted. A total of 4 942 prescriptions of our hospital in the first quarter of 2015 were selected at random,and reviewed by PASS and the pharmacist respectively. The re-view results were analyzed,and then countermeasures were put forward for the problems found to exist in the software review. RE-SULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The conformity rates of prescriptions which had been determined as acceptable through PASS review and pharmacist review were 81.20% and 97.40% respectively. PASS misjudged 929 (18.80%) rational prescriptions as irrational ones,mainly concerning administration and dosage,simultaneous existence of Western medicine and Chinese patent medicine on one prescription,repeated drug use and use with caution,etc. PASS misjudged 122(2.47%)irrational prescriptions as rational pre-scriptions,mainly concerning administration and dosage,inconformity between diagnosis and drug use,etc. The above-said prob-lem was attributed to imperfect hospital management and insufficient software intelligence. It is suggested that the hospital should strengthen the data maintenance and management of information system and PASS developer should improve software rules to in-crease the accuracy rate of prescription review.
