ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To investigate the use of spironolactone tablet in children's hospital, and to explore the feasible scheme that can improve the current dosage distribution of spironolactone tablets, so as to meet the needs of precise and individualized clinical administration of pediatric patients. METHODS All the prescriptions including spironolactone tablet (20 mg per tablet) were obtained from 1st January 2021 to 31th December 2022 in Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine. The children's age, splitting specification, department distribution and problems of common tablet splitting were analyzed, appropriate countermeasures were explored according to literature and team practice. RESULTS A total of 11 239 spironolactone tablet prescriptions were included, among which, the proportion of splitting was 83.91%; in the splitting prescriptions, it showed the characteristics of young age, multi-dose specifications, strong drug specialization and long drug duration. Formulating the practice specification for manipulation of drugs, with the right dosing tool, contribute to improve the accuracy of manipulation of drugs and reduce adverse events caused by incorrect dosing; while, the exploration of extemporaneous liquid preparations and preparations in medical institutions, contributed to improve the accuracy and stability of dosing, and realize individualized drug delivery. CONCLUSION In this study, exploring the appropriate dosage regimen for spironolactone tablet as an example, feasible countermeasures with accurate fractional dose, controllable quality and high compliance of children are explored in combination with team practice and literature retrieval analysis, which is based on the actual clinical needs, so as to provide reference for finding appropriate fractional dose administration schemes for pediatric tablets.

Objective    To evaluate the data of preoperative aortic root CT angiography (CTA), compare it with two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography and investigate the correlation of the two measurements with the actual intraoperative measurement data. Methods    Clinical data of 53 patients with aortic valve diseases who underwent aortic valve repair in our hospital from January 2018 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 38 males and 15 females with an average age of 42.9±18.3 years ranging from 10 to 77 years. Preoperative two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and aortic root CTA measurements were collected, including aortic valve annulus (AVA), aortic sinus (Sinus) and sino-tubular junction (STJ). In comparison with the intraoperative measurements during the aortic valve repair surgery, the consistency analysis was performed. Results    Both the preoperative echocardiography AVA measurements and the CT AVA measurements were positively correlated with the intraoperative AVA measurements (P<0.001). Compared with the echocardiography AVA data [correlation coefficient (ρ)=0.74, mean squared error (MSE)=12.78], the CT AVA data were more accurate and consistent with the intraoperative AVA measurements (ρ=0.95, MSE=2.72). CT AVA data had a higher correlation coefficient with the intraoperative measurements, compared to that of  the echocardiography AVA data (P<0.001). Conclusion    In comparison with two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography, preoperative morphological evaluation of aortic root CTA is more consistent with the actual intraoperative measurements during aortic valve repair surgery.

The unique characteristics of the tumor microenvironment (TME) could be exploited to develop antitumor nanomedicine strategies. However, in many cases, the actual therapeutic effect is far from reaching our expectations due to the notable tumor heterogeneity. Given the amplified characteristics of TME regulated by vascular disrupting agents (VDAs), nanomedicines may achieve unexpected improved efficacy. Herein, we fabricate platelet membrane-fusogenic liposomes (PML/DP&PPa), namely "platesomes", which actively load the hypoxia-activated pro-prodrug DMG-PR104A (DP) and physically encapsulate the photosensitizer pyropheophorbide a (PPa). Considering the different stages of tumor vascular collapse and shutdown induced by a VDA combretastatin-A4 phosphate (CA4P), PML/DP&PPa is injected 3 h after intraperitoneal administration of CA4P. First, CA4P-mediated tumor hemorrhage amplifies the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect, and the platesome-biological targeting further promotes the tumor accumulation of PML/DP&PPa. Besides, CA4P-induced vascular occlusion inhibits oxygen supply, followed by photodynamic therapy-caused acute tumor hypoxia. This prolonged extreme hypoxia contributes to the complete activation of DP and then high inhibitory effect on tumor growth and metastasis. Thus, such a combining strategy of artificially-regulated TME and bio-inspired platesomes pronouncedly improves tumor drug delivery and boosts tumor hypoxia-selective activation, and provides a preferable solution to high-efficiency cancer therapy.

Objective:To construct a humanistic care intervention program for stroke patients after discharge and evaluate the implementation effect.Methods:Through preliminary research, literature review and expert consultation, the humanistic care program for stroke patients after discharge based on Watson's humanistic care theory was constructed and integrated into clinical practice intervention program and implemented. By convenience sampling method, stroke patients discharged from the Neurology Department of Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Hospital in June 2019 were selected as the control group, and patients discharged in July 2019 were selected as the intervention group. The control group received routine follow-up, and the intervention group received humanistic care intervention program after discharge. The scores of the WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) , limb function improvement, and the General Well-Being Schedule were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention.Results:After the intervention, the WHOQOL-BREF total score of the intervention group was (55.74±4.88) , and the total score of the General Well-Being Schedule was (72.06±8.02) , which was higher than (48.49±5.77) , (65.09±3.45) of the control group. The differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After the intervention, the limb function improvement score of the intervention group was (3.52±0.71) , which was not significantly different from that in the control group (3.20±0.63) . Conclusions:Through the construction and application of humanistic care program for stroke patients after discharge, it can effectively improve the quality of life, and happiness of COPD patients.
