OBJECTIVE To optimize the prescription pre-review system in our hospital and evaluate its application effects. METHODS Aiming at the problems of imperfect rule base and high false positive rate in the early operation of the system， optimization measures were taken， including improving the content of the rule base， adjusting the interception level and prompt mode， refining the working model of prescription review pharmacists， and strengthening clinical communication. A retrospective cohort study was conducted， with prescription data from June to December 2023 （before optimization） as the control group and June to December 2024 （after optimization） as the observation group. Through inter group comparative analysis， the actual effect of optimizing the prescription pre-approval system was evaluated. RESULTS The prescription qualified rate increased from （82.51± 4.04）% before optimization to （90.98±1.55）% after optimization； the false positive rate decreased from （20.87±1.64）% before optimization to （7.41±2.04）% after optimization. The monthly range of prescription qualified rate narrowed from 10.24% to 4.11%， and the coefficient of variation decreased from 4.92% to 1.73%. The monthly range of false positive rate slightly increased from 4.40% to 5.34%， the coefficient of variation rose from 8.32% to 26.18%. CONCLUSIONS Through multi-dimensional optimizations of the prescription pre-review system in our hospital， its prescription review efficiency has been significantly enhanced， the quality of prescriptions has steadily improved， and the accuracy of reviews has notably improved.

OBJECTIVE To explore the intestinal absorption characteristics of saikosaponins. METHODS Based on everted intestinal sac model， using accumulative absorption amount （Q） and absorption rate constant （Ka） as indexes， UHPLC-MS/MS technique as a method， the absorption of saikosaponin A， B2， C， D and F from total saponins of Bupleurum chinense （8 g/mL， by crude drug） in the duodenum， jejunum and ileum was detected. RESULTS The correlation coefficients （r） of the regression equations for the absorption of saikosaponins A， B2， C and F in the duodenum， jejunum and ileum were all higher than 0.95， while the r of saikosaponin D in the above intestinal segments was lower than 0.95； compared with the absorption of the same composition in the duodenum， the Q and Ka of saikosaponin A and C circulating in jejunum and ileum for 120 min， as well as the Q and Ka of saikosaponin F circulating in the ileum for 120 min were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Saikosaponin A and the other 4 saikosaponins are all absorbed in the duodenum， jejunum and ileum； among them， saikosaponin A， B2， C and F are linearly absorbed， which conforms to the zero-order absorption characteristics， but saikosaponin D shows non- linear absorption.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) gene polymorphisms with the occurrence of ischemic stroke (IS). METHODS: From January 2020 to August 2022, 390 IS patients treated at the Zhengzhou Seventh People's Hospital were enrolled as the study group, and 410 healthy individuals undergoing physical examination during the same period were enrolled as the control group. Clinical data of all subjects were collected, which included age, sex, body mass index (BMI), smoking history and results of laboratory tests. Chi-square test and independent sample t test were used for comparing the clinical data. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the non-hereditary independent risk factors for IS. Fasting blood samples of the subjects were collected, and the genotypes of rs4244285, rs4986893, rs12248560 of the CYP2C19 gene and rs776746 of the CYP3A5 gene were determined by Sanger sequencing. The frequency of each genotype was calculated by using SNPStats online software. The association between the genotype and IS under the dominant, recessive and additive models was analyzed. RESULTS: The levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (Apo-B) and homocysteine (Hcy) of the case group were significantly higher than those of the control group, whilst the levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and Apo-A1 (APO-A1) were significantly lower (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that TC (95%CI = 1.13-1.92, P = 0.02), LD-C (95%CI = 1.03-2.25, P = 0.03), Apo-A1 (95%CI = 1.05-2.08, P = 0.04), Apo-B (95%CI = 1.7-4.22, P < 0.01) and Hcy (95%CI = 1.12-1.83, P = 0.04) were non-genetic independent risk factors for the occurrence of IS. Analysis of the association between the genetic polymorphisms and the risk of IS showed that the AA genotype at rs4244285 of the CYP2C19 gene, the AG genotype and A allele at rs4986893 of the CYP2C19 gene, and the GG genotype and G allele at rs776746 of the CYP3A5 gene were significantly associated with IS. Under the recessive/additive model, dominant model and dominant/additive model, polymorphisms of the rs4244285, rs4986893 and rs776746 loci were also significantly associated with the IS. CONCLUSION TC, LDL-C, Apo-A1, Apo-B and Hcy can all affect the occurrence of IS, and CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms are closely associated with the IS. Above finding has confirmed that the CYP450 gene polymorphisms can increase the risk of IS, which may provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis.

ObjectiveTo analyze the correlation between the changes of swallowing function and aspiration in stroke patients using videofluroscopic swallowing study. MethodsFrom January, 2014 to December, 2021, 240 stroke patients who underwent videofluroscopic swallowing study in the radiology department of Xuzhou Central Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into aspiration group (n = 108, ≥ grade 5) and non-aspiration group (n = 132, < grade 5) according to Rosenbek Penetration/Aspiration Scale (PAS). The swallowing function changes in the oral and pharyngeal phases were compared between two groups according to Videofluoroscopic Dysphagia Scale, the risk factors of aspiration were analyzed using Logistic multivariate regression. ResultsThere were significant differences in incomplete lip closure, impaired bolus formation, apraxia, incomplete tongue-to-palate contact, premature bolus loss, prolonged oral transit time, delayed triggering of pharyngeal swallow, epiglottis folding dysfunction, pyriform sinus residue, and coating of pharyngeal wall (χ² > 5.802, P < 0.05). Prolonged oral transit time (OR = 3.964, P = 0.036), delayed triggering of pharyngeal swallow (OR = 5.684, P < 0.001), epiglottis folding dysfunction (OR = 11.571, P < 0.001) and pyriform sinus residue (OR = 4.524, P = 0.002) were correlated with aspiration. ConclusionProlonged oral transit time, delayed triggering of pharyngeal swallow, epiglottis folding dysfunction and pyriform sinus residue are risk factors of aspiration after stroke.
