Application of FMEA model and 6S management method in reducing dispensing errors in PIVAS of children’s hospitals / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE To reduce dispensing errors in pharmacy intravenous admixture service （PIVAS） of children’s hospitals. METHODS The risk of dispensing procedures in our PIVAS was identified by applying failure mode and effect analysis （FMEA） model. Potential failure modes that might lead to dispensing errors in each link were determined， and failure causes were analyzed. The severity， incidence and detection degree of potential failure modes were quantitatively scored， and their risk priority number （RPN） was calculated to screen failure modes that needed to be improved in priority； the corresponding improvement measures were developed by 6S management method from six aspects， namely， finishing （seiri）， rectifying （seiton）， sweeping （seiso）， sanitation （seiketsu）， literacy （shitsuke） and safety. The effect of intervention before and after rectification was evaluated. RESULTS Based on the RPN， 32 potential failure modes were selected， of which a total of 18 critical failure modes that needed to be improved in priority. After implementing corresponding measures according to 6S management method， the RPN of 18 critical failure modes decreased. The total RPN decreased from 497 to 142 with a decrease rate of 71.43%. The error rates of 15 critical failure modes were significantly lower than before implementation （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Applying FMEA model and 6S management method to the risk control of all aspects of PIVAS workflow can effectively reduce the risk of PIVAS dispensing errors and ensure the safety of children’s intravenous medication.

Biomaterial-based strategies for maxillofacial tumour therapy and bone defect regeneration / 国际口腔科学杂志·英文版

Issues caused by maxillofacial tumours involve not only dealing with tumours but also repairing jaw bone defects. In traditional tumour therapy, the systemic toxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs, invasive surgical resection, intractable tumour recurrence, and metastasis are major threats to the patients' lives in the clinic. Fortunately, biomaterial-based intervention can improve the efficiency of tumour treatment and decrease the possibility of recurrence and metastasis, suggesting new promising antitumour therapies. In addition, maxillofacial bone tissue defects caused by tumours and their treatment can negatively affect the physiological and psychological health of patients, and investment in treatment can result in a multitude of burdens to society. Biomaterials are promising options because they have good biocompatibility and bioactive properties for stimulation of bone regeneration. More interestingly, an integrated material regimen that combines tumour therapy with bone repair is a promising treatment option. Herein, we summarized traditional and biomaterial-mediated maxillofacial tumour treatments and analysed biomaterials for bone defect repair. Furthermore, we proposed a promising and superior design of dual-functional biomaterials for simultaneous tumour therapy and bone regeneration to provide a new strategy for managing maxillofacial tumours and improve the quality of life of patients in the future.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of extracts from Siegesbeckiae herba (HS) on doxorubicin (DOX)-induced chronic myocardial injury in mice. METHODS:48 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups. Mice in blank control(Con)group received distilled water once every day,ig,and normal saline(2 mL/100 g)once every day,ip,for 8 weeks;mice in DOX mice received distilled water(2 mL/100 g)once every day,ig,and DOX(3 mg/kg)once every week,ip,for 8 weeks;mice in DOX+HS group received HS(340 mg/kg)once every day,ig,and DOX(3 mg/kg)once every week,ip,for 8 weeks. After administra-tion,body mass,heart coefficient,cardiac function changes,serum biochemical index levels [alanine aminotransferase(ALT),as-partate aminotransferase (AST), creatine phosphokinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)and total cholesterol(TC)] of mice were determined. RESULTS:Compared with Con group,body mass of mice in DOX group was decreased(P<0.01);heart coefficient was increased(P<0.05);heart rate slowed down,R-wave was increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01);serum biochemical indexed were increased,there was significant difference in AST(P<0.01). Compared with DOX group,heart coefficient of mice in DOX+HS group was decreased (P<0.01);heart rate was increased (P<0.01);serum biochemical indexes were decreased,there was significant differences in CK,LDH,TC(P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:HS has cer-tain protective effects on DOX-induced chronic myocardial injury in mice.

A case of large pulmonary embolism in trunk and branches with main manifestation of syncope, vomiting and shock / 中华危重病急救医学

Pulmonary embolism (PE) refers to the endogenous or exogenous emboli blocking pulmonary trunk or branches, causing clinical and pathophysiological syndrome of pulmonary circulation disorder, the incidence rate is high. Sometimes PE patients were lack of specific symptoms and signs, or without any symptoms, which often result in misdiagnosis, un-timely diagnosis, and the delay of treatment. A PE case with syncope, vomiting and shock, which was proved to be pulmonary artery trunk and branch wide embolism later, was presented so as to improve the understanding of the disease.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between flurbiprofen axetil injection and atrial fibrillation in the elderly pa-tients after cardiac surgery and underlying mechanism. Methods: A retrospective research method was applied, and the medical re-cords of 62 elderly patients with cardiac surgery were chosen and divided into the experimental group and the control group according to the different medication. After the heart surgery, fentanyl was used in the control group, and flurbiprofen was applied in the experimen-tal group. Before and after the treatment, the serum C-reactive protein levels, the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation, postop-erative atrial fibrillation duration, length of stay, incidence of cardiovascular disease in 6 months and adverse reactions were observed and compared between the two groups. Results:After the treatment, the serum CRP levels in the experimental group were significantly lower than those before the treatment and those in the control group after the treatment (P0. 05). Conclusion: Flurbiprofen axetil injection used after cardiac sur-gery can reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation, which shows important clinical significance.
