RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of narrative pharmacy management on medication compliance, negative emotions, and quality of life in patients with cardiovascular disease complicated with negative emotions. METHODS A total of 49 patients with drug use problems and negative emotions attending the cardiovascular pharmacy clinic of Wuhan First Hospital from February to August 2023 were selected as the study objects, narrative pharmacy model was applied for patient management during their visits; pharmaceutical care and emotional management were performed after 2 weeks of treatment and a follow-up visit was conducted to evaluate and record the management effect one month later. RESULTS Adopting a narrative pharmacy management model, 49 patients were involved in 114 drug related consultation questions. Compared with the visit, after one month of management, the number of medication types taken by patients significantly decreased [4.00 (2.00, 6.00) vs. 3.00 (1.50, 5.00), P<0.05], the incidence of adverse reactions significantly decreased (32.65% vs. 2.04%, P<0.001), the rate of blood pressure and lipid compliance significantly increased (30.61% vs. 95.92%, P<0.001), and the score of the patient’s medication compliance significantly improved ([ 3.94±2.44) vs. (6.78±2.07), P<0.01]. The depression score significantly decreased [3.00 (2.00, 4.50) vs. 2.00 (0.00, 3.00), P<0.001], the anxiety score significantly reduced [3.00 (2.00, 4.50) vs. 1.00 (0.00, 2.00), P<0.001], quality of life score was significantly improved [22.00 (19.00, 22.00) vs. 23.00 (23.00, 24.50), P<0.01]. In the satisfaction survey, there was a slight increase in the overall satisfaction proportion (91.84% vs. 97.96%, P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The application of narrative pharmacy in cardiovascular pharmacy clinic can improve patient compliance, reduce adverse drug reactions, enhance the effectiveness of drug treatment, avoid drug interactions, effectively improve the anxiety and depression, and ultimately improve the quality of life.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the effects of electroacupuncture on brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) of rats with sciatic nerve injury (SNI); To discuss its biological mechanism for treatment of SNI. Methods Fifty adult male Wistar rats were chosen, and the sciatic nerves of rats were cut off and pulled on both sides of the cut ends into nerve regeneration chamber. The rats were randomly divided into normal group, sham-operation group, model group, and electroacupuncture group. In the electroacupuncture group, the rats were treated by electroacupuncture for 28 days. After the treatment, the nerve regeneration was observed through HE staining. Immunofluorescence was used to analyze the expression changes of BDNF in the nerve tissue and spinal cord. ELISA was used to observe the changes of expression of serum BDNF. Results The amount of axon regeneration in the electroacupuncture group was obviously more than that in the model group, and the outline of the tissue more clear. Electroacupuncture could promote the expression of BDNF in the nerve, spinal cord and serum of SNI of rats compared with model group (P<0.01). Conclusion Electroacupuncture can promote the repairment and regeneration of SNI in rats by upregulating the expression of BDNF.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the role of clinical pharmacist in individualized treatment of hypertension.Methods A patient withH hypertension receiving pharmaceutical care from clinical pharmacists was retrospectively analyzed.Results Patient's MTHFR (C677T) gene type was TT homozygous.Clinical pharmacist suggested doctor modify treatment,and then patient's plasma homocysteine dropped from 61.5 to 16.0 μmol·L-1,and blood pressure dropped from 173/ 111 mmHg(1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) to 130/80 mmHg.Conclusion Clinical pharmacist provides individualized treatment for patient with hypertension to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the drug by genotyping.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the mechanism of icariin mediating migration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in rat bone marrow. Methods MSC proliferation was detected by CCK-8 test. Cell apoptosis was examined with Hoechst33342 staining after the establishment of cellular oxygen and glucose deprivation model. The protein expressions of CXCR4, the receptor of SDF-1, in the surface of MSC after stimulated by icariin were detected through Western blot. The migration of MSC was observed by Transwell chemotaxis assay. Results 0.01μmol/L, 0.1μmol/L and 1μmol/L of icariin could significantly promote the proliferation of MSC, while 10μmol/L of icariin inhibited the proliferation of MSC. After treatment of oxygen and glucose deprivation in vitro, 0.1μmol/L and 1μmol/L of icariin could inhibit the apoptosis of MSC. Icariin could not only improve the expression of CXCR4 in MSC, but also increase the number of transmembrane migrated MSC. After the addition of CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100, there was no significant difference in the number of cell migration among the different groups. Conclusion Icariin with appropriate concentration can promote the proliferation, survival and migration of MSC. SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of MSC migration by icariin.
