OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for the improvement of the clinical pharmacy undergraduate internship education in China. METHODS The status of clinical pharmacy undergraduate internship education in China was briefly summarized, and suggestions on its future development based on advanced methods of domestic and abroad were provided. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS In China, undergraduate students of clinical pharmacy were required to undergo hospital internships for no less than 42 weeks. The internship took place in both pharmacy and clinical departments in hospitals. Students’ performance was usually assessed at the end of the internship. The mainstream teaching patterns included on-site teaching, simulation teaching, case-based discussion teaching, medical and pharmaceutical joint teaching, team-based teaching, academic exchange, and so on. The form of assessment had also shifted from final evaluations to more dynamic formats. The clinical pharmacy undergraduate internship education in China can adopt teaching models such as the layered teaching approach, establish pre-internship assessment or training, and encourage interns to participate in social pharmacy practice and directly interact with patients, etc., so as to improve the effect of internship.

Objective:To compare the effectiveness of two types of robotic training in improving the lower extremity motor functioning of children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP).Methods:Twenty-eight children with SCP were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, each of 14. Both groups received conventional exercise therapy, paraffin therapy, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and massage. Both also performed 30 minutes of gait training five days a week for eight weeks assisted by either a Lokomat or a Relink lower limb rehabilitation robot. Before and after the treatment, both groups were evaluated using the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM), the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS), the Modified Tardieu Scale (MTS), the six-minute walk test (6MWT), the Physiological Cost Index (PCI) and their self-selected walking speed (SWS).Results:Significant improvement in all of the measurements were observed in both groups. After the treatment, there were no significant differences between the two group in the average GMFM (section D and E) or PBS scores. The average MTS R1 and R2, SWS, 6MWT and PCI results of the experimental group were, however, significantly better than those of the control group.Conclusion:Applying either the Lokomat or Relink robot in lower extremity rehabilitation improves the lower extremity motor function of children with grade II-III SCP. The Relink robot is the more effective in improving triceps surae spasm and walking ability.

A new class of potent liver injury protective compounds, phychetins A-D ( 1- 4) featuring an unique 6/6/5/6/5 pentacyclic framework, were isolated and structurally characterized from a Chinese medicinal plant Phyllanthus franchetianus. Compounds 2- 4 are three pairs of enantiomers that were initially obtained in a racemic manner, and were further separated by chiral HPLC preparation. Compounds 1- 4 were proposed to be originated biosynthetically from a coexisting lignan via an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction as the key step. A bioinspired total synthesis strategy was thus designated, and allowed the effective syntheses of compounds 2- 4 in high yields. Some of compounds exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activities in vitro via suppressing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. Notably, compound 4, the most active enantiomeric pair in vitro, displayed prominent potent protecting activity against liver injury at a low dose of 3 mg/kg in mice, which could serve as a promising lead for the development of acute liver injury therapeutic agent.

Objective:To investigate 131I activity in thyroid of workers at the place of radioiodine therapy and its main influencing factors. Methods:In terms of the types of hospitals, six hospitals that performed radioiodine therapy procedure were selected by quota sampling in the provinces of Shandong and Shanxi. 131I activity in thyroids of 76 workers at the place of radioiodine therapy was measured directly, and their internal doses were estimated. Results:131I activity in thyroids was found to be above the detection limit for 29 subjects (38.16%) in five hospitals. The maximum value of 131I activity was 2 468.45 Bq for a doctor who was responsible for manual distribution of radioisotopes. In general 131I activities in thyroid of workers at the place of radioiodine therapy of six hospitals were not significantly different ( P>0.05). But the measurement result in the hospitals where radioiodine was distributed manually were significantly higher than that in the hospitals where radioiodine was distributed automatically ( Z=1.75, P<0.01). Thyroid measurement result of 12 workers in two hospitals where radioiodine was distributed manually were all above the detection limit, with medians of 324.59 Bq and 331.98 Bq, respectively. The medians of 131I activities in thyroid of 12 staff in the remaining 4 hospitals were all below the detection limit. The detection frequencies of 131I above dose limit were 32.61%, 25.00%, 10.00% and 0. The measurement result for the doctors who participated in distributing 131I and the relevent cleaners were significantly higher than for the doctors who did not participate in distributing 131I at the same hospital ( Z=2.44, 2.12, P<0.05). Conclusions:There was a significant difference in the internal exposure level among workers at the different places of radioiodine therapy. Using automatic loading device could reduce the internal exposure level of the workers at the place of radioiodine therapy. It is necessary to strengthen the radiological protection for workers at the control area of the place of radioiodine therapy.

Objective:To understand the 131I activity in thyroid of therapy workers in nuclear medicine department, and estimate the annual committed effective dose, in order to analyze the internal exposure of them. Methods:Six hospitals were investigated and 131I activity of thyroid was measured. The detection rate and activity value of thyroid 131I activity of therapy workers in nuclear medicine department were obtained from the six hospitals, and then the intake and annual committed effective dose were calculated. Results:A total of 63 iodine therapy workers from six hospitals were measured and 131I was detected for 52 workers among them, with the detection rate of 83% and 131I activities mostly lower than 200 Bq. The estimated annual committed effective dose ranged from 0.23 to 7.78 mSv. The annual committed effective dose to 84.6% of the workers was less than 2 mSv. Conclusions:Iodine therapy workers in nuclear medicine department should receive routine internal exposure personal monitoring, and the radiation protection system in all hospitals needs to be further improved.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness and safety of transurethral low power green laser enucleation of prostate (VREP) after transrectal prostate puncture.Methods:The clinical data of 96 patients with VERP in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College from October 2020 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. They were randomly divided into the control group ( n=41) and the observation group ( n=55). The control group did not undergo prostate biopsy before operation, and the observation group underwent transrectal prostate biopsy within 1 week before operation. The general data, perioperative indexes, maximum urinary flow rate ( Qmax), international prostate symptom score (IPSS), quality of life score (QOL) and complications of the two groups were compared before and 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. Results:Preoperatively, the PSA was higher in the observation group compared with the control group ( P<0.05), and the differences in other general information were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group had longer operation times and heavier resected specimens, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05), but there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the comparison of enucleation efficiency, crushing efficiency, postoperative hemoglobin (HGB) decline value, postoperative hospitalization time, and postoperative ureter removal time (all P>0.05). At 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively, Qmax, IPSS and QOL were significantly improved in the observation group compared with the control group (all P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the comparison of the above-mentioned indexes in the same period after surgery (all P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the complication rate comparison between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Transurethral low-power green laser prostate enucleation after transrectal prostate puncture is efficacious and has a certain degree of safety.

Objective:To understand the activity concentration of 131I aerosol in the air of the iodine treatment workplace and estimate the internal dose of 131I inhaled by medical staff in nuclear medicine. Methods:Using CF-1001BRL portable large capacity air sampler, the 131I aerosol in the iodine treatment workplace of nuclear medicine department of 6 hospitals in Shandong province was collected by iodine box, and the HPGe-γ energy spectrometer was used to measure the samples. The 131I activity concentration in iodine treatment workplace at 6 hospitals was obtained, and the internal dose to medical staff was estimated. Results:The 131I activity concentration in the air in iodine treatment workplaces at 6 hospitals ranged from 3.64 to 2.94×10 3 Bq/m 3. The 131I activity concentration in the controlled area (ward, patient passageway, subpacking room, operation administration room) was significantly higher than that in the supervised area. The highest 131I activity concentration, 2.62×10 2 Bq/m 3, in the supervised area was found in the medical care passageway. The estimated effective dose to nuclear medicine workers was 0.07-5.68 mSv, not exceeding the national limit. Conclusions:The phenomenon of 131I aerosol contamination still exists in the iodine treatment workplaces of nuclear medicine departments in hospitals, so it is necessary to carry out internal radiation monitoring for nuclear medicine departments all around the country, and explore more reasonable protection standards and methods.

【Objective】 To evaluate the efficacy of Nd: YAG laser therapy adjunct to subgingival scaling and root planning (SRP) for treating severe chronic periodontitis. 【Methods】 We selected patients with severe chronic periodontitis whose teeth were distributed in 4 quadrants of the mouth, with probing depth (PD) of 5-8 mm, attachment loss (AL)≥5 mm and bleeding on probing (BOP). These teeth were randomly divided into three groups: SRP group, SRP+L group (Nd: YAG laser after SRP treatment), and L+SRP group (SRP after Nd: YAG laser treatment). We recorded parameters including BOP, PD and AL of the three groups at baseline and 8 weeks after treatment and made statistical analysis. 【Results】 At 8 weeks after treatment, BOP, PD and AL of the three groups were improved than those in the baseline (P<0.05). BOP positive percentage of SRP+L group and L+SRP group significantly reduced compared with SRP group (P<0.05). PD of SRP+L group significantly decreased compared with SRP group and L+SRP group (P<0.05), for sites with PD=7 mm, SRP+L group was significantly decreased compared with SRP and L+SRP groups (P<0.05). AL of SRP group significantly decreased compared with SRP+L group and L+SRP group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Severe periodontal treatment with Nd:YAG laser adjunct to SRP is more effective in reducing BOP and PD, and for deeper pockets PD is significantly decreased in SRP+L group, but there is no advantage in the improvement of AL.
