Objective To observe the effects of functional electrical stimulation (FES) based on a normal walking pattern on the lower extremity function of subjects early after cerebral infarction.Methods Twenty patients with cerebral infarction aged (59.7 ± 10.1) years (range 45-80) who were hospitalized and within 3 months (31.1 ± 19.3 days) after the onset were randomly assigned to an FES group (n =11) or a placebo stimulation group (n =9).All subjects in both groups received standard medical and rehabilitation treatment.In addition,the FES group received FES and the placebo group received sham-FES without current output.The daily stimulation and shamstimulation sessions lasted for 30 min,5 d/week for 3 weeks.All of the subjects in the two groups were assessed using the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA),postural assessment for stroke patients (PASS),the Berg balance scale (BBS),functional ambulation categories (FACs) and the modified Barthel index (MBI).Results After 3 weeks of treatment,FMA,PASS,BBS and MBI scores had all improved significantly compared with before treatment in both groups,but the FES group showed significantly better improvement.After treatment the average FAC results of both groups had improved,and there was no significant difference between the two groups.At the same time,the research revealed the expected significant correlations among the FMA,PASS,BBS and MBI results.Conclusion FES based on a normal walking pattern can improve lower extremity motor function early after cerebral infarction,improve balance,and improve ability in the activities of daily living.

Objective To study one male patient with cirrhosis for spironolactone induced gynecomastia and promote clinical pharmacists providing better pharmaceutical cares .Methods Based on the patient′s diseases and medication history , clinical pharmacists searched related literature and analyzed the cause of gynecomastia for the patient .Results The patient′s breast pain was relieved and finally disappeared after termination of spironolactone .Therefore ,spironolactone was suspected to be the drug to cause gynecomastia .Conclusion Clinical pharmacists can improve pharmaceutical cares by carefully monitoring the adverse reactions and selecting appropriate medications .

OBJECTIVE： To investigate the pratice of pharmaceutical care provided by clinical pharmacists in orthopedics department. METHODS： Based on the characteristics of orthopedic diseases and clinical drug use， combined with case analysis， the content， work focus and working methods of pharmaceutical care provided by clinical pharmacists were summarized in orthopedics department of our hospital. RESULTS： Clinical pharmacists of our hospital provided basal pharmaceutical care， such as pharmacy consultation， drug reforming， medication education. Focusing on the application standardization of antibiotics in perioperative period， pain evaluation， analgesic regimen optimization， hemostasis and anticoagulation medication safety monitoring of patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery， clinical pharmacists went deep into ward work to assist physicians in formulating treatment plans. Results of case analysis showed that the work of clinical pharmacists was recognized by doctors and promoted rational drug use in clinic. CONCLUSIONS： Clinical pharmacists should combine different specialty characteristics to carry out pharmacy services for specific groups， continuously improve the professional level and their ability to work， and improve the level of pharmaceutical care.
