ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To establish a database of rational drug use for children in our hospital, and to provide reference for ensuring the safety of drug use in children. METHODS The construction and filling of the knowledge base of rational drug use for children were performed by establishing the basic structure of the knowledge base, formulating reference standards for the quality level of pediatric medication evidence, and refining evidence-based evidence of pediatric medication. The rule base of rational drug use for children was designed and built from four aspects: preliminary determination rules for patient information, basic drug information rules, prescription suitability review rules, result labeling and post-processing rules. The database was embedded into prescription review system of our hospital and was applied online to test its effectiveness. RESULTS A set of database containing 672 commonly used pediatric medicines and more than 15 000 rules for rational drug use for children was initially constructed. The average interception rate of unreasonable medical orders for hospitalized children after database application(from December 2021 to May 2022)was 2.03%, and was higher than 0.80% before database application(from June 2021 to November 2021)(χ 2=5 784.389, P<0.001); after post-sampling and prescription review, the average qualified rate of medication orders in discharged medical records for children after the application of the database was 99.10%, and was higher than 94.58% before the application of the database (χ 2=301.237, P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Self-constructed evidence-based rational drug use database for children is close to the actual clinical needs of pediatrics in medical institutions, which can effectively reduce clinical irrational drug use behaviors in pediatrics, improve the pass rate of prescriptions, and ensure the safety of children’s drug use.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To sort out the common presentation forms and components of the framework of domestic and foreign essential medicine lists (EMLs), in order to provide reference for optimizing the framework of the Chinese EML. METHODS The latest edition of the EMLs of WHO, China, South Africa, India, Malaysia and other typical countries were compared, and the similarities and differences of the presentation form and constituent elements of the list framework were analyzed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The common presentation forms of WHO and typical countries’ EMLs included version, classifications and symbols, of which management ideas, functions, and implementation difficulties varied; common framework elements included target population, hospital levels, drug use conditions, core and supplementary lists and procurement priority. Through comparison, it was found that the information covered by the Chinese EML was relatively thin, and the framework design had not yet fully played the ideal role in guiding clinical rational drug use and optimizing the allocation of health resources, and there was still some room for improvement. It is recommended that China clarify the characteristics and roles of different presentation forms of the EML, and reasonably set the EML framework based on national conditions and development needs; the multi-dimensional drug information should be supplemented, such as clinical use, economy, and policy attributes of drugs in the EML, to ensure the rational use of essential drugs; it is also necessary to add “the level of hospitals” in the framework of the EML, refine the management requirements for the allocation and use of essential medicine, and optimize the resource allocation of hospitals.

ABSTRACT
El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar las necesidades de información sobre medicamentos y salud pública en los médicos de un hospital mexicano. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal mediante una encuesta validada por expertos y por estudio piloto a 112 médicos en el año 2016. Los participantes fueron seleccionados por muestreo aleatorio simple de un hospital público de segundo nivel en Nayarit, México. Las variables estudiadas fueron: necesidades de información, comportamiento informativo y el nivel de satisfacción. El 66,4 por ciento de los médicos necesitaban información relacionada con el tratamiento farmacológico de sus pacientes y el 63,3 por ciento de los médicos tuvo necesidades sobre datos poblacionales. Las revistas médicas fueron la vía preferida para obtener información (70,4 por ciento) y al mismo tiempo obtuvieron la puntuación más alta de satisfacción. El 89,5 por ciento no consultaba bases de datos o repositorios, y el motivo más común para no hacerlo fue por carecer de computadora e Internet en el lugar de trabajo (62,4 por ciento). El 76,8 por ciento consideró que sus necesidades de información estaban insatisfechas con los recursos y servicios proporcionados por el hospital. El estado actual de la gestión de la información de los médicos entrevistados pone en riesgo su actualización profesional, disminuye la posibilidad de prescribir tratamientos racionales y de tomar decisiones eficientes(AU)
The purpose of the study was to identify the information needs about drugs and public health among doctors from a Mexican hospital. A descriptive cross-sectional analysis was conducted in the year 2016 which was based on an expert validated survey and a pilot study of 112 doctors. Participants were selected by simple random sampling at a secondary hospital in Nayarit, Mexico. The variables analyzed were information needs, information behavior and satisfaction level. Of the doctors surveyed, 66.4 percent needed information related to the drug treatment of their patients, whereas 63.3 percent needed population data. Medical journals were the favorite source of information (70.4 percent) and obtained the highest satisfaction score. 89.5 percent of respondents did not consult any database or repository, and the most common reason was they did not have a computer with Internet access at the workplace (62.4 percent). 76.8 percent considered that their information needs were not satisfied by the resources and services available at the hospital. The current information management status of the doctors interviewed poses a risk to their professional updating, reducing the possibility of prescribing rational treatments and taking efficient decisions(AU)

In cases on compensation for personal injury, the issue of medical expense compensation involves the vital interests of the compensation obligor, the injured party and the medical institution. The rationality of medical expenses is likely to be controversial, however, there is no unified standard and stipulation for the medical expense rationality identification in forensic clinical identification at present, therefore, in the practice of judicial expertise, expert opinions easily become confused, and the legitimate rights of the parties could be infringed, which affects the impartiality and authority of judicial expertise. This article starts with the concept of medical expense and the rationality of medical expense and the reasons for disputes over the rationality of medical expense, to put forward the basic principles that should be followed in the identification of rationality of medical expenses, for peer reference.

ABSTRACT
The disposition of drug in vivo is subjected to a series of biotransformation and transport, depending on the involvement of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters.However, the individual capacity varies when metabolizing and transporting the same drug, and pharmacogenomics has trouble in completely explaining the differences.microRNA, a key aspect of epigenetic modifications, is a powerful complement to traditional genetics.Emerging evidences have confirmed that drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters be controlled by different microRNAs, and the same microRNA also regulates several drug-metabolizing enzymes or/and transporters simultaneously.All of these researches infer that microRNAs are likely to realize the comprehensive macro-regulation of gene expression.The further study of microRNAs maybe a suitable point to research the interindividual variability in disposition of drugs, and it provides a theoretical basis for rational use of drug and individualized medicine.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for reducing the occurrence of ADR and disposing ADR correctly. METHODS:Using the Excel statistics and manual screening,528 ADR reports were collected from a third grade class A hospital in Chongqing during Oct. 2005 to Dec. 2015. Those ADR cases were analyzed statistically in respects of general information of ADR patients, routes of administration and occurence time,types of ADR-inducing drugs,organs/systems involved in ADR and clinical manifesta-tions,disposal and outcomes,etc. RESULTS:A total of 285 cases(53.98%)of ADR occurred in elderly patients aged more than 65. Most of original diseases were respiratory system disease(144 cases,27.27%). 124 ADR cases occurred in people who had al-lergic history(23.48%). Most of ADR cases were induced by intravenous administration(428 cases,81.06%). ADR frequently oc-curred within 1 h after medication(385 cases,72.92%). Anti-infective agents(211 cases,39.96%)and TCM preparations(67 cas-es,12.69%) were the top 2 involved drug types. The most common ADR occurred in skin and its appendants (175 cases, 33.14%),followed by general reaction(148 cases,28.03%)and administration sites(63 cases,11.93%). The treatment of ADR mainly involved drug withdrawal and symptomatic treatment (285 cases,53.98%). ADR mainly were cured and recovered (509 cases,96.40%). CONCLUSIONS:The characteristics and regularity of ADR disposal should be analyzed to formulate clinical path-way for ADR diagnosis,suspected cases observation,examination,disposal and rescue. When the patient has general reaction or re-spiratory system and circulatory system problems,treatments should be more actively processed.

Conclusion Irrational use of drugs in psychiatric hospital is still common at present.Clinical pharmacists can improve rationality of drug utilization of hospitalized children in psychiatric hospital by creating a drug database and carrying out pharmaceutical care.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To provide evidence for rational use and clinical monitoring of Alprostadil lipid-micro injection (Li-po-PGE1). METHODS:Adult inpatients receiving Lipo-PGE1 from hospital information system(HIS)of 159 hospitals were select-ed as research subject. Based on frequency statistics,population,clinical diagnosis,and average daily dose of Lipo-PGE1 were all studied. RESULTS:A total of 71687 adult inpatients were included,and the male was more than female,mostly aged 61-75. The hospitalization duration was 8-14 d(45.01%),most of patients were recovered(68.20%). Lipo-PGE1 was wildly used in the clin-ic,and was used for 871 kinds of clinical diseases in total;top 3 diseases were cerebral infarction(9.06%),non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (8.65%) and chronic ischemic heart disease (8.08%). The average daily dose of different diseases and different hospitals were significantly different,mostly≤12.5μg. CONCLUSIONS:As adjuvant drug,medical institutions and related super-vision departments should formulate reasonable monitoring index and strengthen medication guidance and evaluation of Lipo-PGE1.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of anticoagulant drugs in the clinic. METHODS:Medical or-ders of anticoagulant drugs were collected from hospital information system of our hospital during 2013-2015. Those medical orders were analyzed in respects of consumption sum,DDDs,DDC and drug utilization. RESULTS:During 2013-2015,the sum tatio of Low-molecular-weight heparins calcium injection(6000 AXaIU),Enoxaparin sodium injection(6000 AXaIU),Dalteparin sodium injection(5000 IU) and Rivaroxaban tablets(10 mg)were on the rise,while those of Nadroparin calcium infection(6150,4100 AXaIU)and Fondaparinux sodium injection(2.5 mg)were in the decline. DDDs of Nadroparin calcium injection(4100 AXaIU), Dalteparin sodium injection(5000 IU)and Enoxaparin sodium injection(6000 AXaIU)took up the first 3 places. DDC of Rivar-oxaban tablets was the highest,being 167.60-180.25 yuan. The utilization of Nadroparin calcium injection(6150,4100 AXaIU), Low-molecular-weight heparins calcium injection (6000 AXaIU),Fondaparinux sodium injection(2.5 mg) and Warfarin sodium tablets(3 mg)showed good synchronization within 3 years,and the values of B/A ranged 0.50-1.50. Both consumption sum and utili-zation rate of rivaroxaban took up the first place in vascular surgery department. CONCLUSIONS:Based on the spectrum of diseases, the features of drugs and ADR,the utilization of anticoagulant drugs in our hospital is rational during recent 3 years. However,the uti-lization of anticoagulant drugs should be still used as routine pharmaceutical monitoring content.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Shenfukang capsules on clinical efficacy and renal function indexes of patients with renal insufficiency. METHODS:Totally 100 inpatients with renal insufficiency treated by Shenfukang cap-sules in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University during Feb. to Mar. 2015 were analyzed retrospectively in respects of general information of patients,therapy plan,renal function indexs before and after treatment and clinical effica-cy. The relationship of clinical efficacy with age and duration was also analyzed. RESULTS:There were 33 cases of acute re-nal insufficiency and 67 cases of chronic renal insufficiency. The route of administration of Shenfukang capsules was oral ad-ministration(97 cases,97.00%),the main dosage was 6 capsule/d(36 cases,36.00%),and treatment duration were 0-0.05);among patients with chronic renal insufficiency,the total response rate of patients elder than 60 years old was significantly better than that of patients with ≤60 years old,with statistical significance (P<0.05). With the extension of treatment duration,the total response rate of patients with acute renal insufficiency was on the rise,and that of patients with chron-ic renal insufficiency increased first and then decreased. No obvious ADR was found during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Shenfu-kang capsules can improve renal function in patients with renal insufficiency,and has definite curative effect on acute and chronic renal insufficiency with good security. The clinical efficacy may be related to age and treatment course.
ABSTRACT
The rational prescription evaluation is important for improving the medical quality and ensuring prescription safety.For the last few years, the health authorities have issued a series of files in order to regulate clini-cal medical conducts, and reduce the irrational prescription.Hospitals are also paying more attention to the rational medicine evaluation.The evaluation is likely to be doubted and resisted for the difference of evaluation personnel, e-valuation personnel quality and evaluation criterion.Therefore, the smooth development of hospital rational prescrip-tion evaluation need to adopt effective management measures, which is connected with responsibilities, guaranteed by rewards and punishments and based on actualities, and establish various evaluation management mechanism to ensure continuous correction and updating at work.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the change trend and antimicrobial resistance of pathogens causing infection in extensive burn patients,and provide reference for clinical prevention and treatment.Methods Specimens from 9 extensive burn patients who were admitted to a hospital at the same time were performed pathogenic culture and an-timicrobial susceptibility testing, change trend and antimicrobial susceptibility of pathogens were observed. Results The main specimen was wound secretion,accounting for 93.81 %.The major pathogens causing infection were Acinetobacter baumannii (44.85%),Staphylococcus aureus (32.47%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12.37%), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (5.15%).With the prolongation of hospital stay,pathogens changed from one kind to multiple strains, and from susceptibility to resistance,multidrug resistance,and extensive drug resistance. Conclusion Itis difficult to avoid infection in burn patients,timely realizing the changes of pathogens causing infec-tion and antimicrobial resistance play an important role in the control of infection.
