OBJECTIVE:To explore the role of clinical pharmacists providing pharmaceutical care for hemodialysis patients complicated with subacute infective endocarditis(IE). METHODS:Clinical pharmacists participated in the anti-infection treatment for a hemodialysis patients complicated with subacute IE,according to the antimicrobial spectrum,laboratory and imaging find-ings,and patient’s condition changes,assisted physician to optimize the regimen,clinical pharmacists suggested to give imipenem cilastatin sodium after hemodialysis,adjust the initial dose of teicoplanin and give 1 g vancomycin firstly,and maintained 0.5 g af-ter hemodialysis,then adjust its dose based on blood plasma concentration;during treatment,clinical pharmacists closely observed the treatment effect and adverse reactions,providing blood plasma concentration monitoring,medication reminding and medication education. RESULTS:Physicians adopted parts of suggestions of clinical pharmacists,no fever was found,hemogram returned to normal,no abnormal echocardiography,and patient discharged. CONCLUSIONS:Clinical pharmacists guarantee the safety and ef-ficacy of drug use by adopting dose of anti-infection drugs,evaluating efficacy,monitoring adverse reactions and vancomycin plas-ma concentration,and assisting physicians to optimize treatment regimen.

ObjectiveTo study possible differences in cognitive dysfunction between left hemisphere injury(LHI) patients and right hemisphere injury(RHI) ones.MethodsCognitive function of 55 LHI patients and 43 RHI patients were examined by aphasia screening test and the Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment Battery(LOTCA).ResultsThe scores of RHI group were significant higher than that of LHI group in orientation in place,overlapping figures,spacial perception,praxis(P<0.001-0.005),but significant lower than that of LHI group in visual identification of shapes and visuomotor organization(P<0.001-0.02).The possibilities of RHI group were significant more than that of LHI group in disorientation in time,shape agnosia,disorder in figure-ground identification,unilateral neglect,disordered attention(P<0.005-0.025),but significant fewer than that of LHI group in aphasia,ideomotor apraxia(P<0.005-0.01).The possibilities were no significant differences in disorientation in place,objects agnosia,colour agnosia,spacial agnosia,motor apraxia,constructional apraxia,thinking disorder between RHI group and LHI group(P>0.05).Conclusions There is characteristic cognitive dysfunction after right or left hemisphere injury.

Une new flavonoids named as notabilisin K (1), together with four known compounds, morusin (2), mulberrofuran A (3), neocyclomorusin (4) and mornigrol F (5) are separated from 95% ethanol extracts of the twigs of Morus notabilis. Compounds 2-5 are separated from this plant for the first time. Notabilisin I, notabilisin J exhibits certain effect against cells of HCT-116, HepG2 and A2780 with IC50 values ranging from 1.47 μmol x L(-1) to 5.46 μmol x L(-1). Morusin exhibits strong effect against five kinds of human cancer cells (BGC823, A2780, HCT-116, HepG2 and NCI-H1650) with IC50 values ranging from 0.74 μmol x L(-1) to 1.58 μmol x L(-1).

To prepare salvianolic acid phospholipid compound. With the compound of salvianolic acids and soybean phospholipid as the index, mono-factor experiment and orthogonal design experiment were conducted to screen its technical parameters. According to the results, the optimal preparation conditions of salvianolic acid phospholipid compound were that THF were taken as the reaction solvent, the concentration time was 3 h, the reactant concentration was 5 g x L(-1), the mass ratio of salvianolic acids and phospholipid was 1: 1.5, and the reaction temperature was 40 degrees C. The oil/water partition coefficient of the prepared salvianolic acid phospholipid compound significant increased in water and buffers with different pH values. The results of phase analysis such as DSC, XRD and FTIR indicated that salvianolic acids existed in phospholipid in an amorphous state.

Objective To study the causes of reoperation after biliary duct operation, in order to decreasing the rate of biliary tract reoperation. Methods The clinical data of 828 patients who underwent reoperation of biliary duct diseases in Nankai hospital between 1990-1999 were evalated, and the causes of biliary duct reoperation were classified and analysed.Results The most common cause for reoperation was recurrent or retained bile stone(65.10% ), bile stone companied by stenosis of the sphincter of oddi (33.82%), simple stenosis of sphincter of Oddi ( 9.54%), traumatic stricture of bile duct and stricture of bilioenteric anastomosis( 10.39%), bile duct obstruction due to tumor (6.52%), and other less important factors. Conclusions Recurrent or retained bile duct stone was the main cause for biliary reoperation,and stenosis of the sphincter of Oddi was the next important factor for reoperations.Thoroughness of the initial operation and rationality of operative procedure are the chief factors to decrease bile duct reoperations.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) composition is a multi-component multiple drug release system and more components preparation system. How to evaluate the drug release behavior of diversification has been a block for the modernization of TCM. This article through to study of more representative components of ginkgolides drug release and similarity analysis of more representative components of ginkgolides drug release behavior and use Weight coefficient method to integrate the multicomponent drug release curve. So it can provide the idea and method for drug evaluation of TCM component preparation.

Astragalus polysaccharides was lounded to 4-(2-aminoethylphenol), followed by labeling the APS-Tyr with fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate (FITC) at the secondary amino group. The absorption enhancement effects of low molecular weight chitosan and protamine on astragalus polysaccharides were evaluated via Caco-2 cell culture model. The results show that the fluorecent labeling compound has good stability and high sensitivity. On the other hand low molecular weight chitosan and protamine also can promoted absorption of the astragalus polysaccharides without any cytotoxity, and the absorption increase was more significant with increasing the amount of low molecular weight chitosan and protamine. At the same time, the low molecular weight chitosan has slightly better effect. The transepithelial electric resistance (TEER) of Caco-2 cells show that absorption enhancers could improve its membrane transport permeability by opening tight junctions between cells and increasing the cell membrane fluidity.

The purpose of this research was to prepare total salvianolic acids-phytosome-HA coprecipitate to improve drug dissolution and its micromeritic properties. Firstly, the coprecipitate was prepared by solvent method and in vitro dissolution of tripterine was performed with the salvianolic acid B and danshensu as criteria. At the same time, the micromeritic properties was characterizated, the structure of samples was characterized by TEM, DSC, XRD and FTIR. Results showed that when the ratio of drug to HA was 1:2, it had a better dissolution, the accumulative drug-release percent in vitro at 60 min was over 90%. At the same time, it has good liquidity and low moisture absorption. Its micromeritic properties have improved. It is proved that the drug still existed amorphously by microstructure analysis. The preparation process is simple and feasible, it has practical value.
