OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for the formulation of the antithrombotic treatment regimen of children with lower extremity deep venous thrombosis （DVT）. METHODS The clinical pharmacist participated in the antithrombotic treatment of a child with purpura nephritis complicated with lower extremity DVT and formulated an individualized dosing plan for the child. Considering that the child was readmitted to the hospital when DVT of the lower extremities did not relieve after anticoagulation therapy， it was recommended that thrombolytic therapy （Enoxaparin sodium injection 30 mg， q2 h， i.d.） be initiated after joint consultation by clinical pharmacists and physicians； catheter thrombolysis and thrombolytic drug therapy were simultaneously performed （intravenous infusion of 200 000 units of Urokinase for injection， per day）； great attention should be paid to the occurrence of adverse drug reactions in children， and the changes in coagulation indexes of the children should be monitored. For long-term anticoagulation therapy after discharge， clinical pharmacists recommended oral Rivaroxaban tablets 10 mg， qd， and adjusted the dose according to the weight change of the child. RESULTS The clinician adopted the pharmacist’s recommendations. After drug thrombolytic therapy， the child’s coagulation indicators returned to normal， the symptoms of lower extremity DVT improved significantly， and there were no adverse events of bleeding or other thrombotic events after discharge. CONCLUSIONS Clinical pharmacists can assist clinicians in formulating individualized treatment plans for children based on their expertise in pharmacy to ensure the rationality of medication use in children， which helps ensure the effectiveness and safety of medication for children.

Objective To investigate the differences in clinical and radiographic features between severe influenza A H1N1 and H3N2 in children.Methods The clinical and radiographic data of children diagnosed with severe influenza A H1N1 and H3N2 were analyzed retrospectively.According to the pathogen subtypes,they were divided into H1N1 group(34 cases)and H3N2 group(23 cases).Differences in clinical data,laboratory results,treatment,hospitalization time,outcome,and radiographic features between the two groups were analyzed.The t-test was used for the comparison of normally distributed measurement data between the groups,and Mann-Whitney U test was used for the comparison of non-normally distributed measurement data between the groups.Chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability method was used for the analysis of counting data,depending on the situation.Results There were differences in the season of onset,clinical and radiographic features between the two groups.H1N1 subtype mostly occurred in win-ter,and mainly manifested as respiratory symptoms(wheezing/shortness of breath)and respiratory complications(severe pneumonia).H3N2 subtype was mainly observed in summer,and more likely to involve the central nervous system(CNS),presenting with neuro-logical symptoms(convulsions),abnormal electroencephalogram,and concurrent influenza associated encephalopathy(IAE).Conclusion There are significant differences in epidemiology,clinical and radiographic features between severe influenza A H1N1 and H3N2.H3N2 has a higher probability of concurrent IAE and should be highly vigilant in clinical practice.

BACKGROUND:Sodium alginate,a natural polysaccharide,has become one of the ideal materials for preparing injectable hydrogels because it is an abundant and cheap resource,and has good biocompatibility and biodegradability.It has been widely used in the production of injectable hydrogels. OBJECTIVE:To review the properties of sodium alginate,the preparation of injectable sodium alginate hydrogel,and its application progress in tissue engineering. METHODS:Web of Science,PubMed,and CNKI were searched by computer.Chinese search terms were"sodium alginate;hydrogel;injectable",and English search terms were"alginate;hydrogel;inject".The time range of searching literature was mainly from June 2017 to June 2022. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Alginic acid comes from a wide range of sources,and there are many modifiable groups in its molecular structure,so many injectable hydrogels with excellent properties can be produced by various chemical crosslinking or physical crosslinking methods.Introducing other bioactive molecules or drugs into sodium alginate gel can adjust its properties and broaden its application fields.In addition,injectable sodium alginate hydrogels have great application prospects in biomedicine because of their good biocompatibility,biodegradability and other physical and chemical properties.Sodium alginate hydrogels are evenly mixed with various drugs,cells,factors or other biological molecules in vitro,and can form gels in the human body,which plays a pivotal role in gene carrier,cell scaffold and wound repair.

ObjectiveTo clarify the scientific validity of in vivo pharmacokinetic determination of the whole drug composition in Shenbai nanosuspension in rats， and to provide methodological guidance and theoretical basis for the in vivo study of multi-component complex system of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） preparations. MethodThe concentration of the overall components， mainly total saponins and total polysaccharides in Shenbai decoction and Shenbai nanosuspension， was determined in rat plasma at different times by area under the absorbance-wavelength curve method（AUAWC）， and the concentration of individual ginsenoside Rg₁ was determined by high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC）， and the methodology was verified. The pharmacokinetic parameters of the whole component were compared with those of ginsenoside Rg₁ to evaluate the in vivo operational characteristics of the two preparations. ResultThe methodological investigations of AUAWC and HPLC were in accordance with the requirements. AUAWC analysis showed that the overall components in both the decoction group and the nanosuspension group showed a one-compartment model， with half-life（t_1/2） of 2.43 h and 2.04 h， respectively. The relative bioavailability of Shenbai nanosuspension was 138.99%. HPLC assay showed that ginsenoside Rg₁ in the decoction group and the nanosuspension group showed a two-compartment model， with distribution half-life（t_1/2α） of 0.13 h and 2.55 h， and elimination half-life（t_1/2β） were 14.28 h and 3.85 h， respectively. The relative bioavailability of Shenbai nanosuspension was 127.49%. Compared with Shenbai decoction， the time to peak（t_max）， peak concentration（C_max） and area under the drug-time curve（AUC） of the overall components and ginsenoside Rg₁ in Shenbai nanosuspension were increased. ConclusionThe established AUAWC can be used for the pharmacokinetic study of the overall components of TCM preparations， which is complementary to the results of individual components measured by HPLC， and can provide useful reference for the in vivo study of new dosage forms of TCM.
