Anti-seizure medications (ASMs) are the main therapy for epilepsy.There are many kinds of ASMs with complex mechanism of action, so it is difficult for pharmacists to examine prescriptions.This paper put forward some suggestions on the indications, dosage forms/routes of administration, appropriateness of usage and dosage, combined medication and drug interaction, long-term prescription review, individual differences in pathophysiology of children, and drug selection when complicated with common epilepsy, for the reference of doctors and pharmacists.

Antipyretic-analgesics are currently one of the most prescribed drugs in children.The clinical application of antipyretic-analgesics for children in our country still have irrational phenomenon, which affects the therapeutic effect and even poses hidden dangers to the safety of children.In this paper, suggestions were put forward from the indications, dosage form/route, dosage suitability, pathophysiological characteristics of children with individual differences and drug interactions in the symptomatic treatment of febrile children, so as to provide reference for the general pharmacists when conducting prescription review.

Objective:To investigate the ability and current situation of nursing undergraduates to use social media for health education, and analyze the impact of social media health education experience on the ability of nursing undergraduates to use social media, so as to provide reference information for the design of nursing undergraduates' health education courses in the future.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method,from May to September 2019, 147 nursing undergraduates from four medical colleges in Beijing were selected, and the general information questionnaire and the Chinese version of Social Media Competency Inventory were used for the questionnaire survey. Using the objective sampling method, the 20 nursing undergraduates were selected for semi-structured interview.Results:57.14%(84/147) of nursing undergraduates had used social media for health education at the undergraduate stage. Among the scores of all dimensions of social media ability, the scores of social media self-efficacy (4.42 points per item) and performance expectation (3.31 points per item) were higher. In the interview, nursing undergraduates believed that after college training, the ability of using publicity tools and making carriers, the ability of information selection and transmission, the ability of teamwork and other social media applications were improved.Conclusions:The current situation of applying social media to health education for nursing undergraduates needs to be further improved, and the ability of applying social media to health education has great room for improvement. Social media health education experience can effectively improve their abilities related to social media application.It is suggested that the relevant courses and training of applying social media to health education should be promoted in undergraduate nursing education in Colleges and universities.

Objective:To compare the effects of esketamine and opioids on postoperative cellular immune function in the patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery.Methods:Fifty patients, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠor Ⅱ, aged 20-65 yr, with height 150-180 cm, weighing 50-80 kg, who underwent laparoscopic non-oncologic gynecological surgery with general anesthesia in the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from September 2020 to February 2021, were divided into 2 groups using a random number table method: esketamine group (group K) and opioid analgesic group (group O), with 25 patients in each group.Anesthesia was induced as follows: esmketamine 0.25-0.50 mg/kg was intravenously injected in group K, sufentanil 0.2-0.4 μg/kg was intravenously injected in group O, and propofol 2 mg/kg and rocuronium 0.6-0.9 mg/kg were intravenously injected in two groups.Anesthesia was maintained as follows: esketamine was intravenously infused at 0.5 mg·kg -1·h -1 in group K, remifentanil was intravenously infused at 10-20 μg·kg -1·h -1 in group O, and propofol 4-10 mg·kg -1·h -1 was intravenously infused, and rocuronium 0.2-0.3 mg/kg was intermittently injected in two groups.Blood samples from elbow veins were collected before anesthesia induction (T 1) and immediately after extubation (T 2) for determination of T lymphocyte subsets (CD3 + , CD4 + , CD8 + , CD4 + CD25 + CD127 low) and NK cells and B lymphocyte (by flow cytometry) and serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-10 concentrations (by multiplexed fluorescent microsphere immunoassay). Routine blood tests were performed on preoperative day 1 and postoperative day 3, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio were calculated. Results:Compared with group O, the percentages of CD3 + and CD4 + cells, ratio of CD4 + /CD8 + and percentage of NK cells were significantly increased, serum IL-6 concentrations were decreased, and serum IL-10 concentrations were increased after extubation, white blood cell, monocyte and neutrophil counts were increased, and lymphocyte count was decreased on postoperative day 3 ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio in group K ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with opioid analgesics, esketamine has less inhibition of postoperative cellular immune function in the patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery.

Objective:To investigate the availability, prices and affordability of essential medicines in pediatric population across China, in the hope of improving rational use of medicines.Methods:A multicenter cross-sectional survey of medicine prices, availability and affordability was conducted in 17 provinces, municipalities and autonomous region across east, south-central part, west and north of China. Data on 42 medicines used in pediatric population, both original and generic, were collected in 55 public hospitals from May 26 to June 2, 2017. Availability was expressed as the percentage of hospitals with stock of the target medicine on the day of data collection,and median price ratio (MPR) was the ratio of price upon investigation to international reference. Based on national minimum daily wage, affordability represents the number of working days needed to earn the expense which covers a standard course using the target medicine. Statistical software SPSS 13.0 was applied for descriptive analysis of availability, MPR and affordability.Results:Mean Availability of original and generic medicine was 33% and 32%, with median MPR being 5.43 and 1.55. Among the 19 medicines with price information for both original and generic product, the median MPR was 7.73 and 2.04 respectively. Regarding the five medicines used to treat four common pediatric diseases (pneumonia,peptic ulcer, congenital hypothyroidism, refractory nephrotic syndrome), the affordability was 0.63 (0.16-6.17) d for generic medicine, and 1.03 (0.16-11.53) d for its original counterpart.Conclusions:The availability to both original and generic products of the 42 medicines used in pediatric population was low in China. The prices of generic medicines seem to be lower and affordability higher than those of original medicines. There is an urgent need to improve the availability and affordability of pediatric medicines.
