ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate potentially inappropriate medication (PIM ) use of elderly diabetic patients in the out-patient department .Methods Beers criteria (2012 Edition) was used as the basis for evaluation of prescription in 2 000 elderly diabetic cases of our hospital (≥60 years old) with analysis of PIM use .Results There were on the average of 4 kinds of drugs per patient (mean age 76 year-old) .172 cases (8 .60% ) of the 2 000 cases were related to PIM dependent on medication use .17 (0 .85% ) cases were related to PIM dependent on disease conditions .23 (1 .15% ) cases were related to PIM with cau-tion in elder adults .Conclusion It was indicated a high prevalence of PIM by elderly diabetic patients .Given the potential se-verity of this problem ,further steps need to be implemented to prevent this occurrence .
ABSTRACT
Objective:To solve the problem of treating trauma limbs according to the requirement of therapy and care with the most effective method and the least cost, while the method should be clinical facilitated. Methods:The major part is a long squared mask made of light material with two gabs in each tips, one is smaller, the other is bigger, which just suit with the trauma limbs and hold them(legs or arms). We designed a window at the top of the mask, and some slots around the window. And the appendix boxes in the slots can be added or changed according to clinical therapy. Results:Simple isolated therapeutic mask for limbs can be used only as a simple facility for trauma limbs isolation, and also can be used as a facility of warming, heating, irradiation and sterilization. Conclusion:Simple isolated therapeutic mask for limbs has been admitted as a patent of utility model by State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) (patent number:ZL200620073372.8). The mask features simple manufacture, low cost, easy to use and reliable effects, can be used not only in every kinds of hospital, but also at home.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the correlation between vitamin D receptor(VDR)polymorphism and psoriasis in the Chinese patients.Methods VDR genotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP in 112unrelated psoriatic patients as well as 108unr elated healthy controls.Results AA and Bb genotypes were found to be ex-pressed more frequently in psoriatic patients(19.6%and 32.1%)than those in normal controls(7.4%and14.8%),respectively.However,no signifi cant correlation was identified between VDR polymorphismand sex,age at onset,family history of psoriasis in psoriatic patients.In addition,there was no significant difference in the fre-quency of A,a alleles and B,b alleles between normal controls and psoriatic patients.Conclusions There is a significant difference in VDR genotypes between psoriatic patients and normal controls.The presence of hom ozygote AA or heterozygote Bb might contribute to the susceptibility of psoriasis.
