RESUMO
A 57-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with fever. She still had fever treated with multiple antibiotics, and no definite evidence for infection was found. Hypothermia and hypotension developed, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination showed enlarged anterior pituitary and multiple small nodular lesions with mild enhancement on the left side. Hormone replacement and anti-infection treatment were administrated, but fever did not improve. Remarkable lymphadenopathy was found in left supraclavicular area. The pathology of lymph node biopsy indicated peripheral T-cell lymphoma (not otherwise specified, NOS). Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) revealed hypermetabolism in multiple lymph nodes, infiltration of the liver and spleen. The final diagnosis were peripheral T-cell lymphoma with involvement of liver and spleen (stage Ⅳ) and anterior hypopituitarism. After chemotherapy, fever alleviated and the function of anterior pituitary recovered gradually.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE： To introduce Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe （PCNE） classification system to develop medication therapy management （MTM）， and to investigate the application of PCNE classification system in solving drug-related problems （DRPs） in type 2 diabetic patients and the effect of it on clinical outcomes. METHODS： The patients with type 2 diabetes diagnosed in endocrinology department of our hospital from Jul. 10， 2018 to Oct. 31， 2018 were randomly divided into clinical pharmacist-led intervention （“physician-pharmacist-nurse” mode） group and control group receiving only traditional medical services （“physician-nurse” mode）. According to PCNE classification， the number of DRPs found in the pharmaceutical intervention group， the types of problems， causes， the types of interventions， acceptance for interventions and outcomes were analyzed and evaluated. Drug compliance （the highest score is 8） and HbA1c compliance （＜7％） were compared between 2 groups during hospitalization （or at the discharge） and 3 months after discharge. RESULTS： Totally 76 cases were included （40 cases in pharmaceutical intervention group and 36 cases in control group）. During hospitalization， 51 DRPs were found in the pharmaceutical intervention group， among which 42 problems were related to the effectiveness of treatment， mainly due to improper usage and dosage （23 problems）； the types of intervention was mainly aimed at the patient level （24 problems）. 38 problems received intervention （acceptance rate was 74.51％） and 32 problems （62.75％） were completely solved. Compared with those at admission， after following up for 3 months patients with low score （6 points） in the drug compliance of the pharmaceutical intervention group decreased from 26 to 8 （P＜0.000 1）， patients with medium score （6-8 points） increased from 10 to 22 （P＝0.006 2）， patients with high score （8 points） increased from 4 to 10， and drug compliance improved significantly， while there was no significant change in drug compliance in the control group. Compared with those at the discharge， after 3 months’ follow-up， the HbA1c compliance rate of the pharmaceutical intervention group increased from 25.00％ to 77.50％， and that of the control group increased from 25.00％ to 55.56％. There were statistical differences （P＜0.000 1）， and HbA1c compliance rate of the pharmaceutical intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group. CONCLUSIONS： In the practice of MTM service， clinical pharmacists use PCNE classification system to collect， analyze， intervene， solve and evaluate DRPs systematically. The service mode can provide reference for standardizing pharmaceutical care mode.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the clinical effects of Huoxue Dingxuan Capsules on treatment of vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis, and evaluate its efficacy and safety. Methods Totally 130 cases of vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis were randomly assigned to treatment group and control group, and treated with Huoxue Dingxuan Capsules and Sibelium capsules respectively. Integration method was used to compare the differences of main symptoms and signs, the overall efficacy and safety were evaluated, and relapse after six months was followed up. Results Both groups had a significant effect on the improvement of signs and symptoms in vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis, the total efficiency was 94.03%(63/67) in treatment group and 82.54% (52/63) in control group. The treatment group had a better effect on the overall efficacy and relieving symptoms and signs compared with the control group (P<0.01). The mean blood flow velocity had a significant change after treatment (P<0.05), and the treatment group was better than the control group (P<0.01). Within six months, the treatment group had 4 cases (6.34%) with mild recurrence of symptoms and signs, and the control group had 18 cases (34.61%), the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05), and no severe recurrence was found. The two groups showed no side effects. Conclusion Huoxue Dingxuan Capsules is safe and effective for treating vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis, and the long-term efficacy and subjects’ compliance are better than oral Sibelium capsules.
