RESUMO
Objective: To understand the medication compliance of inpatients with essential hypertension, analyze the influencing factors in medication compliance of the patients and perform the targeted medication education and pharmaceutical care.Methods: Medication education and guide were conducted in 50 cases of patients with essential hypertension based on the main contents in guidelines for prevention of hypertension.Every patient completed regular follow-ups in two months after being recruited.The relevant information about the treatment and medication were collected and analyzed.Results: Through the medication education and pharmaceutical care, the patients had a better understanding on the relevant knowledge of hypertension, rational drug use and treatment.Among the 50 patients, the percentage of completely following the doctor's advice on the hypertension medication was 86%, that of quitting smoking and limiting alcohol was 82%, and that of optimized life way was 78%, and totally 82% of the patients effectively controlled blood pressure or improved markedly when compared with the situation on admission.Conclusion: Medication education and pharmaceutical care conducted by clinical pharmacists is very important for the patients with high blood pressure.It can help patients build a good lifestyle or improve the quality of life by improving the medication compliance of patients, alleviating complications and reducing adverse drug reactions.
RESUMO
The purpose of this study is to explore depression metabolic markers in rat hippocampus and to investigate the anti-depressant effect of genipin and its mechanisms using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabonomics. Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) procedure was conducted to establish the depressive rat model. At the beginning of the third week, genipin low dose (25 mg x kg(-1)), middle dose (50 mg x kg(-1)), high dose (100 mg x kg(-1)), and venlafaxine (50 mg x kg(-1)) were given to the CUMS rats separately once daily for two weeks except control and model groups. Rat hippocampus was analyzed by 1H NMR based metabonomics after drug administration for 2 weeks. Significant differences in the metabolic profile of rat hippocampus of the CUMS treated group and the control group were observed with metabolic effects of CUMS including decreasing in glycine and N-acetylaspartate, increasing in inositol, glutamate, lactate, glutamine, taurine and alanine. Genipin showed ideal antidepressive effects at a dose of 50 mg x kg(-1) in rats, decrease of inositol, glutamate, lactate, alanine were observed, while glycine and N-acetylaspartate were increased. Important influence has been found on normal nervous system function of these significant changed metabolites, which suggests that the antidepressant effect of genipin may be played by enhancing the activity of neurons in hippocampus, repairing and improving the function of the neuron. The metabonomics approach is an effective tool for the investigation of the anti-depressant effect and pharmacologic mechanisms of genipin.
