RESUMO
Bone is a dynamic tissue undergoing continuous regeneration and reconstruction, and its metabolic activities are mainly regulated by bone formation mediated by osteoblasts and bone resorption mediated by osteoclasts. In addition, a variety of cells such as adipocytes, inflammatory cells, endothelial cells, and nerve cells can affect bone metabolism by changing the bone marrow microenvironment. The incidence of bone metabolic diseases caused by bone metabolism disorders is increasing with aging of the population. At present, the clinical treatment of bone metabolic diseases has the disadvantages of long cycle, high cost and many side effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need for safe and effective prevention and treatment drugs. Corylin is an isoflavonoid extracted from Psoraleae Fructus, which has a variety of pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, anti-tumor, anti-atherosclerosis, attenuating obesity and improving insulin resistance. Studies have shown that corylin not only exerts osteoprotective effects by promoting osteoblast differentiation and inhibiting osteoclast differentiation, but also plays a positive role in bone metabolism by regulating lipid metabolism, inflammatory response, angiogenesis and anti-aging. The current review overviews the effects and mechanisms of corylin on regulating bone metabolism directly or indirectly, hoping to open up a new perspective for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, fracture, osteoarthritis and other related diseases.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To ensure clinical medication safety and avoid medication errors. METHODS: Various errors occurred during 2006~2007 in the pharmacy intravenous admixture service of our hospital were analyzed in accordance with drug package inserts, Chinese Pharmacopeia, and Clinical Medication Information, meanwhile the countermeasures were formulated. RESULTS: The ratio of errors in the pharmacy intravenous admixture service was 0.001%, and the internal ratio of errors was 0.04%. The errors occurred mainly in the following steps: medical orders (by doctors), input of medical orders (by nurses), arrangement of drugs (by pharmacists), allocation of nurses, as well as the check of finished products. CONCLUSIONS: By taking the following measures such as constructing consummate quality safety management system, enhancing pharmacists’ prescription-checking ability, strengthening management on personnel, intensifying checking system etc, the incidence of errors in pharmacy intravenous admixture service can be reduced and the rational clinical medication can be promoted.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for clarifying the responsibility of hospital pharmacists to ensure the safety of intravenous infusion. METHODS: By combining personal experience,the author presented the ways for pharmacists to ensure safety of intravenous infusion such as by ensuring the rationality of prescriptions,guiding nurses to carry out medical order accurately and administer drugs correctly,guiding patients about drug use and offer guidance about the choice of infusion apparatus,etc. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: Pharmacists should apply the pharmaceutical knowledge gained to conduct an effective interference on the irrational use of intravenous drugs and cooperate with doctors and nurses to guarantee medication safety in intravenous infusion.
