Transcuataneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) analgesia as a non-drug method has received people's more and more attention recently. Considering problems of existing products, such as unstable performance and unsatisfied effectiveness, we developed a new analgesia therapy system for delivery based on bio-feedback TENS in our laboratory. We proposed a new idea for stimulation signal design, that is, we modulated a middle frequency signal by a traditional low frequency TENS wave in the new system. We designed different prescription waves for pain relief during a uterine contraction or massage between contractions. In the end, a bio-feedback TENS method was proposed, in which the waveforms of stimulation signals were selected and their parameters were modified automatically based on feedback from uterine pressure, etc. It was proved through quality tests and clinical trials that the system had good performance and satisfied analgesia effectiveness.
Objective To observing about how effect is the education prescription using by the medical students, looking into whether the manner can attach the students attention and improve on the retrieval ability for them. Methods Choosing one of the cases come from PubMed and drawing out a clinical question. Asking total 100 students to search literature and write search strategy, search results and the reason about the results by chosen (similar to appraisal evidence), and their self-evaluation of this process. Results Of the 100 students, 96 (96%) searched PubMed/MEDLINE, and 79 (79%) searched second research database, 28 (28%) searched Science Citation Index (Web of Science), 38 (38%) chosen one of ten articles according with the articles chosen by the overseas doctors. We found no students weren’t interesting in the education prescription, but 65 (65%) didn’t think the education prescription be easy achieved, at the same time they mentioned that the retrieval problems were solved or profited came from the practice. Conclusions Filling education prescription can attract students attention and induct them to learn the basic concept of EBM, and to practice how to searching evidence and the feedback of students can help improve on teaching work.

Emphasizing a function-oriented and patient-centered approach, the article also discusses the extended value of outpatient services in translational research, smart healthcare, and preventive health strategies. This model provides a replicable and scalable reference for the development of sports medicine outpatient clinics.
Objective To explore the serious situation of injection abuse, and its influence to average prescription fee. Methods The subjects of this study were health service settings in rural area of 9 provinces/cities in Midwest of China. The treatment prescription indicators of county and village health service settings were calculated. Results Prescription injection rates of health care facility in rural area of Midwest provinces/cities of China (25.8% to 62.2%,mean: 45.1%) were higher than the standard of WHO (13.4% to 24.1%), and the injection abuse situation was serious. Injection bause caused the increase of prescription fee. Excess usage of injection in health service settings was related to the economic level of the on-site county or village, and also related to the size and load of health service facilities. Conclusion Suggestions are proposed to the government health agency according to the results of the study: enhancing the lawmaking, establishing the related policy and effective measure, training the medical personnel, promoting the mass health education, investigating the effective injection management model in rural area, and reducing the rate of injection.
ObjectiveTo investigate the status of antibiotic drug use in the outpatient department based on the special rectification activities of antibiotic drugs, identify the reasons for irrational use of antibiotic agents and propose the solutions. MethodsPrescription of antibiotic drugs were analyzed by a retrospective comparative analysis during April to June 2011, August to October 2011 and August to October 2012. ResultsPrescriptions of antibiotic drugs were 435 (36.25%), 367 (30.58%) and 223 (18.58%) during April to June 2011, August to October 2011 and August to October 2012, respectively, and the unreasonable prescriptions were 35 (2.92%), 27 (2.25%), and 14 (1.25%) respectively. ConclusionThere is a decreased tendency of prescription of antibiotic drugs in the outpatient department of our hospital because of the special rectification activities of antibiotic drugs. It is in accordance with antibiotic use rate of <20% target of "antibiotics in 2012 special rectification program" in hospital outpatient service. But there are some unreasonable phenomena in the use of antibiotics, and to promote the reasonable use of antibiotics, we should strengthen management.
Objective To investigate the awareness of rational use of drug (RUD) on medical workers in hospitals of different ranks, the establishment and execution of relevant strategies in hospitals of different ranks, and the main factors affecting RUD on medical workers, so as to provide references for the generalization of RUD. Methods A certain number of different ranks of hospitals in Chengdu and Zigong were randomly selected by the convenience sample method. Medical workers in each hospital were selected through face-to-face interviews with a self-designed questionnaire. Monte Carlo Chi-square analysis was applied on the hospital ranks and formulation of RUD guidelines, and logistic regression analysis was performed on the awareness of RUD knowledge of the respondents. Results Among 700 questionnaires distributed, 672 were retrieved (response rate 96.0%). The numbers of respondents who were familiar with the Pharmaceutical Affairs Councils (PACs) as well as the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committees (PTCs) were 217 (32.29%) and 83 (12.35%), respectively. The number of respondents who understood the concept of essential medicine was 502 (74.71%). A total of 441 (61.16%) medical workers had been trained on RUD, 199 (29.61%) medical workers denied there were PTCs in their hospitals, and 60.71% of the medical workers mentioned that the use of drug was monitored and controlled with the feedback in their hospitals. The result of logistic regression analysis indicated that the professional title (P=0.038), awareness of essential medicine (Plt;0.001) and participation of RUD training (P=0.008) were the factors influencing the awareness of RUD. Conclusion Both management and education should be executed at the same time to elevate the level of rational use of drug. In order to increase the level of RUD we should complete monitoring institution and improving RUD awareness of workers. Additionally enhancing the rationality of medication should be performed by establishing guidelines of treatment or medication. Improving personal knowledge, scientific information and medication custom should be performed by standardizing regulations, strengthening management, emphasizing education and promoting communication between doctors and patients.
ObjectivesTo evaluate the current situation and rationality of electronic prescription in retail pharmacies in Chengdu, so as to provide references for further improving the sales of prescription drugs in retail drugstores and the level of rational drug use.MethodsA set of evaluation index system was constructed, and a prescription review group was set up. Eventually, 7 200 sample electronic prescriptions were collected for retrospective analysis and evaluation.ResultsPrescriptions from private medical institutions constituted the majority (3 543, 49.21%), and the majority of patients were junior and middle-aged, primarily respiratory diseases (38.24%) and circulatory diseases (17.11%), etc. The average quantity of drugs was 1.60 per prescription, percentage of antimicrobial use was 65.25%, percentage of essential medicines used was 34.92%, and reasonable rate of prescription was 95.21%.ConclusionsElectronic prescription services mode for retail pharmacy follows with the trend of “Internet + drug circulation” and complies with the rules of reasonable medical guidance and medication. However, optimizations are required, such as the lack of high-quality medical resources and the urgent need to optimize structure of prescription, and it is still essential to strengthen the management of antibacterial drugs and national essential medicines.
ObjectiveTo realize the application status and development trend of oral anticoagulant drugs used in respiratory diseases in 72 hospitals in 6 cities from the year 2013 to 2017.MethodsFrom January 2013 to December 2017, we randomly selected the electronic information from 10 working days per quarter in 6 cities including Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Chengdu, Shenyang, and Zhengzhou, with 12 hospitals in each city, and summarized the information into the prescription database of the hospital prescription analysis project. Through the hospital information system, we screened out the information of outpatient prescriptions and inpatient medical records which used oral anticoagulants. The prescriptions with respiratory diseases related-diagnosis were selected as the research objects by manual screening. The application of oral anticoagulant drugs used in respiratory diseases was statistically analyzed by drug amount, prescription amount, prescribed daily dose (PDD), and defined daily dose (DDD).ResultsFrom 2013 to 2017, the number of warfarin sodium prescriptions was successively 4 769, 5 747, 7 549, 7 261, and 7 151, which had been always ranked the first in the five years, but decreased year by year since 2015. The proportion of warfarin sodium drug use amount decreased year by year from 32.52% in 2013 to 5.03% in 2017. The proportion of prescription and drug consumption sum of new oral anticoagulants increased year by year in the past five years. The PDD/DDD of warfarin sodium, dabigatran etexilate, rivaroxaban, and apixaban were 0.41, 0.73, 0.68, and 0.33, respectively. There were off lable use of new oral anticoagulants.ConclusionsWarfarin still dominates the proportion of oral anticoagulants prescribed in the 72 hospitals in the 6 cities in the five years. The clinicians have made a comprehensive judgment after fully considering the safety, effectiveness, and economy of drug use when formulating drug treatment programs.
