Objective To explore the gray matter changes in aggressive patients with schizophrenia,and the relationship between the gray matter and aggression in patients.Methods Eighteen aggressive patients with schizophrenia (SZ1),18 age-and gender-matched un-aggressive patients with schizophrenia (SZ2) and 18 normal controls (NC) were enrolled in the study.Then a 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan was conducted for each participant.The voxel-based morphometry (VBM) approach and the Chinese version of Buss & Perry aggression questionnaire (B&P) were used to explore imaging data and to assess the aggression,respectively.Results Compared with NC,patients with schizophrenia showed changes in gray matter volume (GMV) in the frontal,temporal and the occipital lobes (P<0.05,AlphaSim corrected).Compared with SZ2,SZ1 showed increased GMV in the right supramarginal gyrus,right postcentral gyms,bilateral insula and orbito-frontal gyri (P<0.05,AlphaSim corrected).The GMV of the right insula,right postcentral gyms and right supramarginal grus were positively associated with B&P scores in patients with schizophrenia (P<0.01,AlphaSim corrected),respectively.Conclusions These preliminary findings support that the aggression in schizophrenia is associated with GMV changes of brain regions in patients with schizophrenia.The right postcentral gyrus,the right insula and the right supramarginal gyrus may be involved in the neural mechanism of aggression in schizophrenia.

Objective To study the irrational intravenous (IV) medication orders and promote rational medication applications.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted to analyze the irrational prescriptions from January to December 2016.Results Among 39 948 IV medication orders reviewed, there were 134 irrational prescriptions of cytotoxic drugs (0.33%) and 222 irrational prescriptions of total parenteral nutrition(TPN)(0.56%).Within 356 irrational prescriptions, 19 had improper amount of diluent(5.34%), 95 inappropriate dosage(26.69%), 12 drug incompatibility(3.37%), 8 wrong diluent (2.24%) and 222 inappropriate TPN orders (62.36%).Conclusion The interventions of the clinical pharmacists are needed to reduce medication errors and improve the drug safety and effectiveness.

Objective To determine the content of paeoniflorin in Fuzhengpingxiao capsule by HPLC method .Methods The content of paeoniflorin were determined by HPLC ,and the column was an Agilent Zorbax SB-C18 column (150 mm × 4 .6 mm ,5 μm);The mobile phase was acetonitrile and 5 mmol/L sodium dihydrogen phosphate (10:90) ,and the flow rate was set at 1 ml/min .Column temperature was 25°C ,detection wavelength was 230 nm ,injection volume was 10 μl ,and running time was 25 min .Results Paeoniflorin was linear (r=0 .9999) in the concentration of 25 .0-500 .0 μg/ml ,the linear equation was Y=12 .65 X +43 .54 ,and the average recovery was 92 .69% with RSD value was 1 .77% .Conclusion The method was easy to operate ,reliable and reproducible ,which could be used in the determination of paeoniflorin in FuzhengPingxiao capsule .
