Objective To retrospectively analyzed the current application of warfarin in hospitalized patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillationand ( NVAF), explore the key role of clinical pharmacists in warfarin medication. Methods A retrospective survey of anticoagulant therapy for 179 hospitalized patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation in Renming Hospotal of Wuhan University from January to December 2013 was retrived,including the usage of warfarin for NVAF and new-onset atrial fibrillation,dosage,international normalized ratio(INR),hemorrhage event and so on.The simple factor like the age,complicated chronic diseases and previous cerebrovascular events on the use of warfarin was explored. Results The total response rate to anticoagulants was 85.6% for patients with high risk of stroke(27.3% with warfarin and 58.3% with antiplatelet therapy),who are recommended to use warfarin,patient were treated with anti-thrombotic therapy.The total of 19.1% of the patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation used warfarin as therapy.The whole monitoring rate of INR was 89.8%,and the good control rate was 11.9%. Univariate analysis showed that some high risk factors such as age and high blood pressure affected the usage of warfarin. Conclusion The anti-thrombotic therapy for NVAF patients in the hospital is good,but usage of warfarin for those with new-onset atrial fibrillation is low,which couldn't reach the INR standard. More attention should be taken by the clinic pharmacists in effective managing the use of anticoagulant to build a safe,economic and effective medication system for warfarin application.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the characteristics and regularity of pediatric adverse drug reactions(ADR)in our hos-pital in order to promote rational drug use of children. METHODS:In retrospective study,378 pediatric ADR cases collected from our hospital during 2010-2014 were analyzed statistically. RESULTS:Among 378 pediatric ADR cases,255 cases were male (67.46%),and 123 cases were female (32.54%);the incidence of ADR in patients aged from one year to three years were the highest (27.51%);most of the cases were induced by intravenous injection,accounting for 87.57%(331 cases);sterile powder for injection was main dosage form (236 cases,62.43%) anti-infective agents were the major cause of ADR in respect of drug types (50.26%),among which cephalothin ranked the first place(43.68%);the lesion of skin and its appendants were the most common clinical manifestation of ADR(56.35%),such as erythra and pruritus. And most of the cases were cured(64.29%)or im-proved(34.66%)after treatment. CONCLUSIONS:The occurrence of ADR are related to multiple factors,such as administration route and drug varieties. Great importance should be attached to indication,route of adiminstration,method,speed and so on,in order to promote rational drug use and reduce the occurrence of ADR.

To investigate the effects of human anti-BAFF scFv-Fc against the hsBAFF, ICR mice were randomly divided into six groups: control, hsBAFF (1 mg x kg(-1)), hsBAFF (1 mg x kg(-1)) + Ab (1 mg x kg(-1)), hsBAFF (1 mg x kg(-1)) + Ab (2 mg x kg(-1)), hsBAFF (1 mg x kg(-1)) + human IgG (1 mg x kg(-1)) and hsBAFF (1 mg x kg(-1)) + human IgG (2 mg x kg(-1)) groups. The effects of scFv-Fc administration on the proliferation of B lymphocytes were evaluated using an MTT assay. The titres of antibody in the serum and B lymphocytes differentiation were assessed by ELISA and flow cytometry, respectively. The results showed that administration of scFv-Fc to mice injected with hsBAFF significantly prevented human BAFF-induced increases in splenic B cell numbers and serum immunoglobulin levels. Furthermore, this fully human antibody would avoid inducing the human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) response when used in humans. These findings suggest that the compact antibody may be useful in therapeutic or diagnostic application of the BAFF-associated autoimmune diseases in human.

Objective To conclude the diagnostic methodology of unroofed coronary sinus (UCS) by two-dimensional echocardiography(2DE). Methods By analyzing the echocardiographic results of 16 UCS patients who were diagnosed by 2DE and confirmed by operation, the diagnostic methodology of UCS by 2DE was summarized. Results Sixteen patients with UCS were involved in this study. Among them, 12 cases were diagnosed as complete UCS,others were partial UCS(PUCS). Twelve patients were complicated with persistence of left superior vena cava (LSVC) that was connected to left atrium (LA) through UCS. All of preoperative diagnosis conducted by 2DE were finally confirmed to be consistent with the results of operation. With the analysis of acquired echo images,key points of diagnosis were concluded as follow: 1) normal coronary sinus (CS) could not be detected in the routine 2DE views referring CS. PUCS showed partial absence of CS roof,while complete UCS displayed as total absence of CS. 2)Inter-atrial shunt would definitely be found in UCS and the opening to right atrium must be coronary sinus orifice. The shunt direction was depended on the combined cardiac malformations. 3) With the occurrence of UCS,LSVC would be in junction with LA through UCS. 4) The inter-atrial shunt resulted in cardiac morphologic and hemodynamic changes. Conclusions Better understanding of the anatomic, morphological and hemodynamic characteristics of UCS would greatly contribute to accurate diagnosis on UCS.

Objective To establish a new multiplex-PCR assay to improve the detection rate of mutations in the DMD gene in Chinese patients. Methods A retrospective review of DMD deletion spectrum of 355 DMD patients with deletions all over the gene was performed. All deletions were confirmed by " one-step approach" diagnostic procedure and MLPA analysis. The exons with high frequency of mutations were identified to constitute the amplification system and the PCR conditions were optimized. Results Two new multiplex-PCR assays were established. Assay one was used to detect 10 exons including exon 5, 8, 17, 44, 45, 47, 49, 50, 51 and 52 of DMD gene, in two PCR sets. The theoretical detection rate would be 92% (326/355). Assay two was used to detect 5 exons including exon 12, 19, 35, 43 and 54, which could be used to screen additional 5% (17/355) deletion cases. The method was validated in other 22 DMD patients. Multiplex-PCR results were completely identical to the MLPA results in all 22 DMD patients. Conclusions The two multiplex-PCR assays were established based on the analysis of 355 Chinese DMD patients with gene deletions. It is believed that the new approach would be more applicable for deletion detection on the Chinese DMD patients since the DMD cases involved were from the whole country.
