Background and purpose:Five-year survival rate of post-operation patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)is less than 40%.Treatments after recurrence are difficult.Our study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of pemetrexed on postoperative recurrence of NSCLC.Methods:From Jan.2006 to Sep.2008,40 NSCLC with postoperative recurrence were observed.All patients had received pemetrexed(ALIMTA)500 mg/m2 or carboplatin eonbined.Results:Among the 40 patients,partial response in 10 patients(25.00%),stable disease in 19 patients(47.50%),progressive disease in 11 patients(27.50%).The total response rate was 25.00%and clinical benefit control rate was 72.50%.Pemetrexed had significantly better disease control rate in female than in male (9 1.30% vs 47.06%,P=0.034),in adenocarcinoma patients than in non-adenocarcinoma's(87.10% vs 22.22%,P=0.001).Median overall survival time(MST)was 10.70 months.Progression-free survival time(PFS)was 5.18 months.Adenocarcinoma patients had longer PFS than non-adenocarcinoma patients.Conclusion:Pemetrexed demonstrates significant antitumor activity and good tolerance in these patients.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of dronedarone combined with low dose metoprol-ol in the treatment of atrial tachycardia.Methods A total of 175 elderly patients with atrial tachy-cardia admitted in Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital during January 2020 to January 2022 were enrolled and then randomly divided into dronedarone group(n=57),metoprolol group(n=55)and combined group(dronedarone+metoprolol,n=48).The frequency,duration and symptom changes of arrhythmia were compared before and after treatment.Results After 3 and 6 months of administration,the total effective rate was significantly higher in the combination group than the dronedarone group and the metoprolol group(P＜0.05).The frequency of atrial fibrillation(AF)attacks[(2.31±1.78)/48 h vs(11.56±18.68)/48 h],AF duration[(4.86±6.73)h/48 h vs(10.92±9.61)h/48 h],atrial flutter(AFL)attacks[(2.33±1.53)/48 h vs(4.33±1.53)/48 h]and AFL duration[(5.15±4.87)h/48 h vs(21.54±20.08)h/48 h]in the combined group,and AFL duration[(2.75±1.94)h/48 h vs(10.29±8.04)h/48 h]in the dronedarone group were reduced after 6 months of treatment(P＜0.05).Conclusion In the treatment of atrial tachycardia,dronedarone combined with low dose metoprolol can not only obviously improve symptoms,but also significantly reduce the atrial premature and atrial tachycardia attacks,decrease the number and duration of AF and AFL attacks,and control heart rate effectively.

Objective:To explore risk factors for clinical onset in children with uncontrolled self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS) managed by 2 anti-seizure medications (ASMs).Methods:A total of 112 children with SeLECTS who were diagnosed at the Department of Pediatric Neurology of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to May 2021 were retrospectively reviewed.All of them were treated with conventional ASMs, and regularly followed up for 1-2 years.Types of therapeutic drugs, clinical seizure control status, presence of new seizure forms, electroencephalogram (EEG) were reviewed at follow-up visits.According to whether the seizures were controlled after the use of no more than 2 ASMs, patients were divided into poor response group (43 cases) and good response group (69 cases), and their clinical data and EEG characteristics were compared.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors for seizures that were uncontrolled by 2 ASMs. Results:There were significant differences in the age of onset ( χ2=8.919, P=0.003), seizure form ( χ2=4.218, P=0.040), seizure frequency ( Z=-7.664, P<0.001), EEG background slowing ( χ2=10.284, P=0.001), emergence of electrical status epilepticus during slow-wave sleep (ESES)( χ2=11.921, P=0.001), discharge generalization ( χ2=25.377, P<0.001), and presence of epileptic encephalopathy with spike-and-wave activation in sleep (EE-SWAS)( χ2=54.334, P<0.001) between groups.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that seizure frequency ( P<0.001, OR=0.086, 95% CI: 0.022-0.329), discharge generalization ( P=0.006, OR=9.942, 95% CI: 1.918-51.527) and EEG background slowing ( P=0.041, OR=6.648, 95% CI: 1.077-41.038) were the 3 main risk factors associated with poor response to short-term medications of ASMs. Conclusions:Seizures are easily controlled in most SeLECTS patients medicated with ASMs with a favorable prognosis.Seizure frequency, discharge generalization and EEG background slowing are risk factors for the poor response to short-term pharmacotherapy in children with SeLECTS.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of dabigatran etexilate in elderly patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.Methods Clinical materials of elderly non-valvular atri-al fibrillation patients with dabigatran etexilate in the Department of Cardiology of the Subei People's Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University from January 2021 to June 2022 were collected,and ac-cording to the relevant guidelines,clinical application,laboratory indicators and clinical outcomes were statistically analyzed.Results Among 150 patients,14 cases had no indications for medication and 12 cases had contraindication;93 cases had insufficient dosage,9 cases had excessive dosage,13 cases had unreasonable frequency of administration,and 20 cases had unreasonable conversion with other anticoagulant drugs.Laboratory indicators indicated a significant increase trend in activated partial prothrombin time(APTT)after 1 month,3 and 6 months of medication(P＜0.05).Clinical outcome showed that the incidence of ischemic stroke events was 3.33％(4/120),the incidence of massive bleeding was 1.67％(2/120),and the incidence of cerebral hemorrhage events was 0.83％(1/120).Conclusion It is common that clinical dosage of dabigatran etexilate in our hospital is in-sufficient.Pharmacists should pay attention to the standardized application of dabigatran etexilate in elderly patients.

Deep brain stimulation(DBS),including optical stimulation and electrical stimulation,has been demonstrated considerable value in exploring pathological brain activity and developing treatments for neural disorders.Advances in DBS microsystems based on implantable microelectrode array(MEA)probes have opened up new opportunities for closed-loop DBS(CL-DBS)in situ.This technology can be used to detect damaged brain circuits and test the therapeutic potential for modulating the output of these circuits in a variety of diseases simultaneously.Despite the success and rapid utilization of MEA probe-based CL-DBS microsystems,key challenges,including excessive wired communication,need to be urgently resolved.In this review,we considered recent advances in MEA probe-based wireless CL-DBS microsystems and outlined the major issues and promising prospects in this field.This technology has the potential to offer novel therapeutic options for psychiatric disorders in the future.

【Objective】 To investigate and analyze the current situation of the human resources as well as blood collection and supply of blood banks of Zhejiang Province, so as to understand the problems existing in the development of human resources and put forward suggestions. 【Methods】 Questionnaires were issued to Blood Center of Zhejiang Province, municipal central blood stations, and county-level central blood banks to investigate the relevant data in 2015 and 2019. Meanwhile, some data were obtained through the Zhejiang Blood Management Information System (BIS3.0), symposiums, and querying medical service data. Statistical analysis was carried out. 【Results】 Among the 28 blood banks, filled the questionnaires, 927 personnel were in accordance with the authorized strength, accounting for 62.26% (927/1 489), and 1069 health technicians, accounting for 71.519% (1 060/1 489). From 2015 to 2019, the annual growth rate of human resources in blood banks was 2.02%, lower than the annual growth rate of whole blood collection volume 4.83% and the annual growth rate of clinical blood supply (red blood cell) 4.82%, lagging behind the annual growth rate of 6.55%, 8.71% and 12.36% in the number of diagnoses, inpatients and surgeries in the hospitals across the province. The average annual growth rate of doctors and nurses in blood banks was 0.17% and 1.67%, lower than that of licebsed doctors and registered nurses of the province, which was 6.78% and 8.27%, respectively. 【Conclusion】 With the development trend of blood collection and supply, the personnel allocation and the proportion of health technicians of blood banks across Zhejiang Province is insufficient. It is suggested to establish a manpower allocation standard suitable to the business volume, give priority to properly solvement of the current employment, strengthen training, and improve the efficiency of physical examination consultation, testing and phlebotomy positions.
