Pharmacotherapy is the primary treatment method for hyperthyroidism. Antithyroid drugs can induce liver injury, and the diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury is mostly exclusive based on medical history collection, clinical symptoms, serum biochemistry, radiological examination, and histology. According to the severity of liver injury, drug-induced liver injury can be classified into mild, moderate, severe, and fatal degrees. Drug withdrawal may not be necessary for patients with mild liver injury, but regular monitoring of liver function is required; in severe cases, patients may develop liver failure, which may lead to a mortality rate, and early identification, timely drug withdrawal, and reasonable pharmacotherapy can help to avoid fatal consequences. The treatment principles of liver injury induced by antithyroid drugs include promoting the recovery of liver injury, preventing the severe exacerbation and chronicity of liver injury, and reducing the risk of death. Standardized medication, timely monitoring, early identification, and early treatment are important measures for the prevention and treatment of liver injury induced by antithyroid drugs.

Standardized residency training is the only way for medical students to grow into clin-icians. At present, the number of under training residents in China has reached 190000 (excluding special-ized degree graduate students). It is very important to manage each stage of this training well, which is an guarantee for improving the effect of standardized training. The residents who attend the training are com-posed of "unit personnel" and "intra-industry social personnel", and after standardized and homogenized training, the two types of students have officially become the new force in the medical industry after passing the final examination. In order to do a good job in the management of standardized residency training, to achieve fine management at all stages , this paper focuses on the differences between the two types of students, analyzes in detail the characteristics of these two types of students in the recruitment, training and welfare guarantee stages. "Unit personnel" are given the security, supervision and containment of the origi-nal unit, while due to the pressure of job-hunting and the uncertainty of future welfare, "intra-industry so-cial personnel" are equipped with more initiative. Based on advanced management experience in Beijing,Shanghai, Sichuan and Tianjin, this paper aims to summarize the key points in management of the two types of students in training, propose countermeasures to the difficulties in management, innovative management solutions, and provide reference for the optimization management of standardized residency training.

Objective To understand the rationality and safety of oral antihypertensive drugs on chronic renal disease(CKD)combined with hypertension hospitalized patients. Methods It was a multi-center and retrospective investigation. The electronic medical records of CKD with hypertension patients who were hospitalized in 6 comprehensive hospitals in Beijing and used oral antihypertensive drugs on October 1st,2013 to March 31st,2015 were collected. The pharmacists who participated in the project from the 6 research centers filled out the investigation form. According to the drug instruction,the rationality of antihypertensive medication was evaluated by daily dose,frequency of drug delivery,the dosage for renal insufficiency,contraindications and adverse interactions. Results There were 2 833 valid cases in this study,1 730 males and 1 103 females. The ratio of male to female was 1:0.64. The range of age was 18~101 years. The average age was(61 ± 18)years. There were 1 630(57.54%)cases whose age was≥60;314(11.1%)cases were CKD level 1,526(18.6%)cases were CKD level 2,1 117(39.4%)cases were CKD level 3,423(14.9%)cases were CKD level 4,453(16.0%)cases were CKD level 5. 144 (5.1%)cases were hypertension level 1,592(20.9%)cases were hypertension level 2,1 398 cases (49.3%)were hypertension level 3,and 699(24.7%)cases were not graded. The oral hypotensive drugs applied during the hospitalization of 2 833 patients included calcium channel blockers(CCB),beta blockers,diuretics,angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocker(ARB),angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI),alpha/beta blockers and alpha blockers. 1 022(36.1%)cases used 1 kind of antihypertensive drugs,1 032(36.4%)cases used 2 kinds of antihypertensive drugs,591(20.9%)cases used 3 kinds of antihyper-tensive drugs,157(5.5%)cases used 4 kinds of antihypertensive drugs and 31(1.1%)cases used 5 kinds of antihypertensive drugs. A total of 6038 cases of antihypertensive drugs were administered. The top priority was CCB(35.11%,2 120),the second was beta blockers(17.26%,1 042)and the third was diuretics(16.23%,980). The choice of a single drug for antihypertensive drugs was reasonable. The 2,3,4,5 combined drug users who were not recommended by the guidelines were 4.8%(50/1 032), 21.2%(125/591),28.0%(44/157)and 64.5%(20/31)respectively. The situation of blood pressure control was evaluated with blood pressure target values achieved rate. With blood pressure below 130/80 mmHg as the standard,the admission and discharge blood pressure target achieved rate was 31.2%(884/2 833)and 29.5%(799/2 705)respectively. With blood pressure below 140/90 mmHg as the standard, the admission and discharge blood pressure target achievement rate was 53.6%(1 519/2 833)and 64.4%(1 743/2 705)respectively. Among the 2 833 cases,903(31.9%)cases had 1 204 times of unreasonable use of the drug. The top three were excessive daily frequency of medication(1 029,85.5%),total daily dosage(114,9.5%),and use of drugs that were contraindicated(51,4.2%). Two cases had adverse drug reactions related to antihypertensive drugs. Conclusion The use of antihypertensive drugs in patients with CKD in the six hospitals involved in the investigation was reasonable,but there was still some problems in the combination of drugs. Some doctors are not familiar with the drug instructions,and there are some problems such as increasing the frequency of drug use,overdose medication,and use of drugs that are contraindicated. Clinical pharmacists should be more involved in clinical work in these areas.

Objective: To establish a high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric method ( HPLC-MS/MS) method for the determination of PA-824 in the plasma of Beagle dogs, and study the pharmacokinetics of PA-824 in Beagle dogs. Methods:Carbamazepine was used as the internal standard, and the plasma samples were pretreated with ethyl acetate for the liquid-liquid extraction of PA-824. An Eclipse Plus C18 column (100 mm × 2. 1 mm, 3. 5 μm) was used with the mobile phase consisting of methanol-water (90 :10). The flow rate was 0. 6 ml·min-1 and the column temperature was 30 ℃. The injection volume was 5 μl and the sample analysis time was 5 min. The determination was performed with an electrospray ionization ( ESI) source in the positive multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The ion pairs were m/z 360. 1→m/z 175. 0 (collision energy of 35, solution cluster volt-age of 65) for PA-824 and m/z 237. 2→m/z 194. 0 (collision energy of 28, solution cluster voltage of 83) for carbamazepine. After the oral administration, PA-824 in plasma was measured at different time points, and then the pharmacokinetic parameters were calcu-lated by DAS 2. 0 software. Results: PA-824 showed a good linear relationship within the range of 50-10000 ng · ml-1 ( r =0. 9991). The recovery was 97. 7%-105. 1%, and the RSDs of intra-day and inter-day were less than 5. 0%. At three different dosa-ges (100, 200 and 500 mg) of PA-824, AUC0-twere (5735. 18 ± 1918. 76),(11548. 47 ± 1838. 04) and (21987. 88 ± 4587. 58) ng·min·ml-1,t1/2 were(14.17 ±5.97),(11.11 ±4.39) and (13.13 ±5.46)h,and Cmaxwere(626.66 ±188.48),(2399.13 ± 516.51) and (4861.33 ±2253.61)ng·ml-1, respectively. Conclusion:The method is simple, accurate, rapid and reproducible, and suitable for the pharmacokinetic study of PA-824 in the plasma of Beagle dogs.

Objective:To study the kinetics of transdermal absorption of volatile oil from Angelica slinesis in fetal skin and investi-gate the mechanism of penetration enhancement in terms of morphology. Methods: Franz diffusion cells were used to investigate the transdermal characteristics in vitro. The content of ligustilide was determined by HPLC, and the cumulative permeation amount per unit area and rate constant of ligustilide were calculated. The effects of volatile oil from Angelica slinesis on skin ultrastructure was observed by a scanning electron microscope and a transmission electron microscope. Results:The kinetics of volatile oil at different concentra-tions was all in accordance with Higuchi equations. The ultrastucture changes of fetal skin under the scanning electron microscope were as follows:the wrinkles on skin surface increased, some areas of stratum corneum peeled off and turnovered like worn-out cotton pad-ding, the follicular orifice was enlarged, and the cuticles of the hair shaft dropped off and became thinner. The changes of fetal skin ul-trastucture under the transmission electron microscope were as follows:stratum corneum cells peeled off, the cell junction in basal lam-ina and stratum spinosum were broken, and the intercellular space was enlarged. Conclusion: The volatile oil from Angelica slinesis has good transdermal permeability. Its enhancement mechanism of transdermal drug absorption is closely related with the effects on skin ultrastructure, which can change the structure of stratum corneum to increase the cell gaps resulting in enhancing drug penetration.
9.Tissue engineering technology for articular cartilage repair:how to construct a new compound pattern?
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(29):4736-4741
BACKGROUND:Articular cartilage has limited ability to repair itself, and the traditional means are difficult to repair articular cartilage defects, but articular cartilage tissue engineering provides new methods and approaches for large-area articular cartilage defects. OBJECTIVE:To review the current status, problems and prospects of tissue engineering technology in articular cartilage repair. METHODS:The retrieval of PubMed database was performed for articles published from 1982 to 2015, with the keywords of “articular cartilage, repair, tissue engineering” in English. Literatures related to tissue engineering repair of articular cartilage were included, but repetitive studies were excluded. Finaly 39 articles were reserved in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Excelent seed cels have chondrogenic differentiation potential, and currently, the main seed cels for articular cartilage repair include mesenchymal stem cels, embryonic stem cels, adipose-derived stem cels and precartilaginous stem cels. Different growth factors, which can induce the in vivo growth of host parenchymal cels, improve seeded cel stability, and accelerate tissue regeneration, tend to be combined in clinical application. Composite scaffolds are also one of hot researches that can promote cell inoculation and spatial distribution as well as accelerate cell proliferation. To obtain the best effectiveness of articular cartilage repair, how to optimize seed cells, select and match scaffold materials to construct new types of composite patterns is an important direction in the future.
