Pharmaceutical Care for Oral Medication of Tumor Patients with Dysphagia by Clinical Pharmacists / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE：To explore the mode of pharmaceutical care for oral medication of tumor patients with dysphagia by clinical pharmacists ，so as to promote clinical rational and safe drug use. METHODS ：Based on typical cases ，the problems existing in the oral medication of tumor patients with dysphagia were analyzed ，and the medication guidance and pharmaceutical care given by clinical pharmacists were expounded. RESULTS ：Clinical pharmacists found that tumor patients with dysphagia had some problems during oral medication ，such as improper administration position ，tube feeding of slow-controlled release preparations after opening the capsule ，limited administration route ，biting cytotoxic drugs ，unknown solubility of targeted drugs ，interaction of multiple drugs. In view of the above problems ，clinical pharmacists assisted physicians and nursing staff to provide pharmaceutical care to patients in combination with the patient ’s disease characteristics ，pharmacy，pharmacokinetics，pharmacodynamics，drug solubility，drug interaction and other factors ，such as skillfully using appropriate drug delivery location and mode ，using local drug delivery mode ，selecting appropriate dosage form based on pharmaceutical knowledge （the characteristics of new dosage form ）， guiding patients to use drugs correctly by being familiar with the characteristics of cytotoxic drugs and targeted drugs ，paying attention to potential drug interactions and guiding nurses to use drugs correctly. The situation of improper medication was improved. CONCLUSIONS ：Clinical pharmacists should participate in clinical therapy actively ，and make appropriate interventions with professional knowledge of pharmacy so as to promote the correct use of oral medication for tumor patients with dysphagia.

Analysis on the age of menarche and associated factors of Han, Zhuang and Yao nationality female students in Guangxi / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To explore age of menarche and associated factors of Han nationality, Zhuang nationality and Yao nationality girl in Guangxi, and to provide reference for the development of adolescent health education in schools.@*Methods@#The 7-, 10- and 13-year-old girls of Han, Zhuang, Yao nationality were chosed from three counties of Guangxi, and height, weight and other physical indicators were measured for three consecutive years, and age of menarche was inquired. 448 cases of with compete data in the three consecutive years of monitoring. The influencing factors were investigated through questionnaire.@*Results@#Age of menarche of the whole sample was 11.83(95%CI=11.69-11.96)years old, and that of the Han, Zhuang,Yao nationality was 11.87(95%CI=11.64-12.09), 11.44(95%CI=11.25-11.64)and 12.42(95%CI=12.14-12.70)years old respectively, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Height, sitting height, weight of menarche group in 12 and 13 years old were significantly higher those of the group without menarche(P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis primary sitting height,the chest circumference,intake of seafood,duration of sleep in the night and school exercise time were the primary factors for age at menarche(P<0.01).@*Conclusion@#There are ethnic differences in age of menarche among girls in Guangxi, and it is related to sleep,physical activity and dietary structure. Puberty recated health education for girls might start at the fourth grade of primary school, focusing on the education of health life patten, balanced dietary habits, regularly routine, with the goal of growth and development promotion.

Effect of plateau environment on the body compositions of soldiers / 肠外与肠内营养

Objective:To study the eftect of plateau environment on the body compositions of soldiers.Methods:A total of 120 male soldiers were selected for the study.All of the study subjects received a physical examination between June and November in 2014.Bio-electrical impedance technique was used to measure the subjects' body composition including 33 parameters such as body mass index (BMI) and body fat mass.Results:Compared to that before entering into the plateau,the levels of 31 parameters were significantly lower after entering into plateau,except the distribution of muscles in left lower limb and ECW/TBW in right upper extremity.Conclusion:The body compositions of soldiers may decrease under plateau environment.This phenomenon need to be interfered purposefully to aTange scientific diets and training intensity.

Comparison of gray matter among children with different karyotype of Turner syndrome: voxel-based morphometry analysis / 中华放射学杂志

Objective To detect the difference of cerebral gray matter change in children with different karyotype Turner Syndrome (TS) by using voxel-based morphometry (VBM).Methods Nineteen children with 45XO karyotype TS,21 children with heterozygous TS and 20 age-matched control girls were recruited in this study.Wechsler intelligence scale for children was used to obtain their intelligence quotients (IQ).High-resolution magnetic MR imaging was performed in TS children and control girls to collect the whole brain structural data.The data was analyzed by VBM based on SPM8 to compare the volume of gray matter among the monosomy TS children,heterozygous TS children and normal controls by using covariance analysis.Alphasim method in the software of analysis of functional neuroimages(AFNI) was used for clusterlevel multiple comparison.Results The IQ was 89 ± 16 for the monosomy TS children,and it was 91 ± 13 for heterozygous TS children and 109 ± 15 for the controls.Statistical analysis revealed significant difference of IQ among them (F =10.75,P ＜ 0.05).Compared with normal controls,both monosomy TS children and heterozygous TS children showed significantly decreased volume (voxel numbers in clusters were 4117,1392,1085,t =5.75,5.33 and 5.02 for monosomy TS; voxel numbers in clusters were 4501,2437,591,t =5.40,5.11 and 4.95 for heterozygous TS respectively,P ＜ 0.01,FWE-corrected) in the gray matter of bilateral precuneus lobule,postcentral gyrus,and cingulum cortex.However,the volume of the orbitofrontal lobe,parahippocampal gyrus,cerebellum,temporal pole,corpus striatum and posterior midbrain were increased in the monosomy and heterozygous TS children compared to the controls (voxel numbers in clusters were 1444,1188,791,725,695,431,386,t =5.01,5.96,5.67,5.23,4.85,4.43,4.94 for monosomy TS; voxel numbers in clusters were 6988,2709,2510,2380,1987,1709,1185,t =6.50,7.06,7.26,5.27,5.71,6.02,4.56 for heterozygous TS,P ＜ 0.01,FWE-corrected).Compared with monosomy TS,heterozygous TS showed increased gray matter volume in the left parahippocampal gyrus and corpus striatum (voxel numbers were 1014 and 496,t =4.75,4.53,P ＜0.01,FWE-eorreeted),while they had decreased gray matter volume in the right supramarginal gyrus (voxel number was 350,t =4.28,P ＜ 0.01,FWE-corrected).Conclusions Both monosomy and heterozygous TS show brain atrophy in the parietooccipital lobe,indicating similar abnormality of gray matter development.However,heterozygous TS shows more increased gray matter volume in the prefrontal lobes and the cerebellum than monosomy TS,which may be the compensatory mechanism in this condition.

Study on the viability of Lactobacillus acidophilus in short peptide enteral nutrition liquid / 肠外与肠内营养

Objective: To observe the survivability of Lactobacillus acidophilus in short peptide enteral nutrition liquid.Methods: 5% fermentative medium of Lactobacillus acidophilus was added in 12% short peptide enteral nutrition liquid.The preparations were cultured at 37℃ anaerobic condition.Samples were taken from culture at 0,4,8,12,14,16,20,24 h during fermention.The living bacteria counts,A_600,acidity and pH values were examined respectively.Results: The number of Lactobacillus acidophilus increased at 0 to 16 h.A_600 ascended during the time.Acidity ascended with time.Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that Lactobacillus acidophilus had better survivability in 12% short peptide enteral nutrition liquid,and the terminal time should be controlled during 12~14h.
