OBJECTIVE:To analyze the drug utilization of traditional Chinese medicine injections in our hospital so as to provide scientific basis for clinical rational use of traditional Chinese medicine injections.METHODS:The data of annual consumption and total consumption of traditional Chinese medicine injections in our hospital during 2001～2006 were calculated,and the DDDs and the daily average costs of traditional Chinese medicine injections were analyzed statistically.RESULTS: The annual consumption of traditional Chinese medicine injections showed an increasing trend in our hospital during 2001～2006,with the consumption sum of the top 10 traditional Chinese medicine injections showing a higher proportion,which had a great impact on the total consumption of traditional Chinese medicine injections.Moreover,the rank ratios were less than one for both consumption sum and DDDs of those drugs with high average daily costs.CONCLUSION: Great importance should be attached to the DDDs of traditional Chinese medicine injections and the post-marketing reevaluation for traditional Chinese medicine injections should be intensified.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous suture by QuillTM SRS self-retaining suture for closing choledoch incision. Methods From January 2015 to October 2015, 66 patients with gall bladder calculi combined with common bile duct stones who received laparoscopic gallbladder excision, common bile duct explo-ration, laparoscopy choledochotomy, suture choledoch immediately were randomly divided into two groups, experi-mental group using QuillTM SRS self-retaining suture for closing choledoch incision and control group using tradi-tional absorbable suture for closing choledoch incision. Then observe the operation time, the risk of bile leakage oc-curred in the operation and the risk of bile leakage after operation. Results All patients successfully completed in laparoscopic surgery without laparotomy. Operation time, the risk of bile leakage occurred during operation in exper-imental group has statistically significant difference compared with control group ( < 0.05). The operation time and incidence of intraoperative bile leakage of the experimental group was less and lower than control group, while the risk of bile leakage after operation show no statistically difference ( >0.05). Conclusion Compared with interrupted suture by normal sutures, continuous suture by QuillTM SRS self-retaining suture for closing choledoch incision has the characteristics of shorter operation time and lower incidence of intraoperative and postoperative bile leakage. It is worthy of promoting.

Objective: To observe the impact of mind-regulating acupuncture plus donepezil on the cognitive ability, mean cerebral blood flow velocity, event-related potential P300, and activities of daily living (ADL) in the aged patients with Alzheimer disease (AD).Methods: Sixty senile AD patients were divided into a treatment group and a control group following the envelope method for random allocation, with 30 cases in each group. Based on the conventional treatment of the internal medicine, the control group received oral donepezil, and the treatment group received oral donepezil plus mind-regulating acupuncture. After 4-week treatment, the two groups were evaluated by the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), Alzheimer disease assessment scale-cognitive part (ADAS-Cog), and ADL; changes in P300 and the mean cerebral blood flow velocity were also observed.Results: Before treatment, there were no significant differences in the scores of MMSE, ADAS-Cog, or ADL between the two groups (P>0.05). The MMSE score increased after treatment in both groups and was notably higher in the treatment group than in the control group, showing intra-group and inter-group statistical significance (P<0.05). After treatment, the ADAS-Cog and ADL scores dropped in both groups and were markedly lower in the treatment group than in the control group, also showing intra-group and inter-group statistical significance (P<0.05). Compared with the same group before treatment, the latency of P300 was shortened and the amplitude was extended in both groups, all with statistical significance (P<0.05); the latency was shorter and the amplitude was larger in the treatment group than in the control group after treatment, presenting significant between-group differences (P<0.05). The mean blood flow velocity accelerated after the intervention in both groups, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05); the improvement in the treatment group was more notable than that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion: Mind-regulating acupuncture plus donepezil can regulate the latency and amplitude of P300, increase cerebral blood flow, and improve the learning and memory abilities of AD patients.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the related factors of the infection after operation of open tibiofibula fractures.

METHODSThe clinical data of 141 patients with open tibiofibula fractures underwent surgical treatment from June 2009 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were male and aged from 18 to 61 years old with an average of 39.2 years; all the fractures were unilateral. According to Gustilo typing of fracure, 5 cases were type I, 44 cases were type II, 27 cases were type III a, 56 cases were type III b and 9 cases were type III c. These clinical data included patients' age, gender, body mass index (BMI), underlying diseases, time of operation, fracture site, fracture type, fixation method, postoperative drainage, debridement condition and so on. The postoperative infection conditions were recorded, and the correlation between above factors and infections were analyzed. Finally, the significant related variables were introduced into a Logistic regression model to evaluated their risk.

RESULTSAmong the 141 patients, 22 cases developed with infection (15.6%). The significant relative factors with infection contained fixation method, debridement condition, underlying diseases and postoperative drainage (P < 0.05). The correlativities were stepped up in order, their odds ratios value was 2.451, 3.164, 3.414, 5.117, respectively.

CONCLUSIONActive treatment for underlying diseases before operation, thorough debridement for open wound, suitable fixation method for fracture and thorough draining are effective measures in preventing postoperative infection.
