OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of domestic generic and imported original clopidogrel for antiplatelet therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS The clinical data of ACS patients in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of China Pharmaceutical University from January 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively collected by using electronic medical record system, and the patients were divided into original drug group (321 cases) and generic drug group (328 cases) according to the drug use. Both groups were given dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin. The effectiveness and safety outcomes of the two groups were followed up for 12 months and compared, the related influential factors were analyzed. RESULTS Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) occurred in 16 and 22 patients in original drug group and generic drug group respectively, including nonfatal myocardial infarction (4 and 5 cases), stroke (2 and 4 cases), revascularization (8 and 3 cases), cardiovascular related death (2 and 4 cases), and all-cause death (4 and 6 cases). There were 12 and 7 patients with major bleeding events, 38 and 29 patients with minor bleeding events, and 33 and 21 patients with non-bleeding adverse events. There was no statistically significant difference in the cumulative incidence of related events (P values of Log-Rank tests were all greater than 0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that the use of generic clopidogrel did not increase the risk of MACE and major bleeding events in ACS patients [hazard ratio of 1.305 and 0.416, 95% confidence interval of (0.678, 2.512) and (0.155, 1.117), respectively, P>0.05], and the combination of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) could reduce the risk of major bleeding events [hazard ratio of 0.196, 95% confidence interval of (0.063, 0.611), P<0.05]. CONCLUSIONS Compared with imported original drug, domestic generic clopidogrel has similar clinical effectiveness and good safety. Combined use of PPI may be a beneficial factor to reduce the occurrence of major bleeding events in patients.

OBJECTIVES:
This study aimed to use modified articular disc anchorage in treating old irreducible temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement with perforation and rupture, as well as to explore its efficacy.
METHODS:
A total of 31 patients (34 sides) with 47 TMJ disc perforations who underwent surgical treatment in the Affiliated Stomatolo-gical Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2018 to December 2021 were selected. According to the location of disc perforation, it has five types: posterior disc perforation (typeⅠ), anterior disc perforation (typeⅡ), lateral disc perforation (type Ⅲ), composite disc perforation, and destruction disc perforation. The modified methods of disc anchoring were divided into two types according to the location of the perforation. TypesⅠandⅢ disc perforation were trea-ted by posterior anchoring method. For posterior ancho-ring, a screw was implanted into the posterolateral side of the condylar neck, and the disc was fixed on the screw by horizontal mattress suture. TypeⅡdisc perforation and compo-site disc perforation combined typeⅡperforation were treated by anterior and posterior double-anchoring method. For anterior anchoring, anchor screws or holes were placed at the anterior edge of the condylar neck, and horizontal mattress suture was performed at the posterior edge of the anterior perforation with an anchor wire. The articular disc was then fixed on the anchor screws or holes. For the posterior anchoring method, it was the same as the previous one. Paired t test was used to analyze the visual analog scale (VAS), maximum interincisal opening (MIO), and TMJ disorder index (CMI) of the patient before surgery and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. Disk-condyle position relationship by magnetic resonance imaging and postoperative quality of life in postoperative were analyzed.
RESULTS:
The incidence of perforation was 41.2% (14/34) in typeⅠ, 11.8% (4/34) in typeⅡ, 8.8% (3/34) in typeⅢ, 29.4% (10/34) in composite type, and 8.8% (3/34) in destruction type. The VAS, MIO, and CMI at 3, 6 months after operation significantly improved compared with those before operation (P<0.05). The effective reduction rate of disc was 96.77% (30/31). The quality of life at 6 months after surgery was 47.22±2.13, and the rate of excellent evaluation was 96.4% (27/28).
CONCLUSIONS
Modified articular disc anchorage achieves a good curative effect for treating temporomandibular joint disc perforation and rupture. Nevertheless, its long-term effect requires further observation.

At present, the teaching objects of clinical pharmacists have gradually changed from merely university students to complex and diverse groups including clinical pharmacist interns and others. However, the traditional teaching model cannot be tailored to different groups. In addition, it increases the burden of clinical pharmacists while not ensuring teaching quality. This study aims to classify teaching objects according to their characteristics, so as to provide individualized knowledge and service. Compared with the traditional way of teaching, this new method may make teaching more relevant and reduces the teaching load of teachers, which is of great significance to the training of clinical pharmacy personnel.

Objective To study the value of MRI in the diagnosis of diabetic foot(DF)ulcer.Methods MRI data of 29 cases with DF ulcer were analyzed retrospectively,among which 8 showed neuropathic osteoarthropathy (Charcot’s joint)on X-ray radiographs. To analyze the correlation of MRI features and MRA results of DF ulcer patients.Results All patients displayed with soft tissue cellulitis,and 1 6 cases suffered with osteomyelitis as well.8 cases were Charcot’s joint,and 2 cases were confirmed by biopsy for false positive osteomyelitis.8 cases of MRA could not meet the diagnostic requirements due to the contamination of the inferior genicular vein.There were no obvious difference among the incidence of Charcot’s joint,sinus,abscess and tenosynovitis between lower extremity artery stenosis and not(P=0.06;χ2=0.07, P=0.79;χ2=2.15,P=0.14;χ2=2.29,P=0.13),but the difference of incidence of osteomyelitis was obvious(χ2=4.88,P=0.03). Conclusion MRI can display osteomyelitis,neuropathic osteoarthropathy,cellulitis of the tissue,sinus,abscess,tenosynovitis and lower extremities arterial disease (LEAD)of the DF ulcer patients,and the incidence of osteomyelitis was associated with LEAD.
