An experimental study was designed on the treatment of 8 superficial burn wounds and 5 wounds after removing the split-thickness skin grafts with 200GS permanent magnetic flat dressings, and some of the wounds were chosen at random which did not received any treatment and would be served as control. It was noted that the volume of exudate in the treatment group was 11.9 50.7％ less than that of the control group, and the total protein, the albumin and globulin contents in the treatment cases were far less in exudate than those of the control cases. It was concluded that the magnetic therapy not only decresed the exudate, but also diminished the amount of total protein, albumin and globulin in the exudating fluid and it was of benefit to wound recovery.
Objective To analyze the rationality of emergency medication in the West China Hospital after Lushan earthquake based on the actual drug use of earthquake victims. Methods We applied DDDs and DUI as evaluation index, input data using Excel software, and analyzed if the emergency medication was required for the injury/illness and the rationality of emergency medication. Results Earthquake victims mainly had trauma and wound infection and they were given antibiotics as main treatment one week after the earthquake. Drugs for the respiratory system and digestive system were mainly used in patients who mainly manifested as non-traumatic diseases and internal diseases four weeks after the earthquake. Among 49 kinds of drugs which could be calculated for the value of DUI, injection accounted for a larger proportion than non-injection (59.18% vs. 40.82%). The results showed that, the medication (DUI=1) only accounted for 12.24%; the medication (DUIlt;1, Mean=0.65) accounted for 38.78%, which implied insufficient drug use; the medication (DUIgt;1, Mean=1.77) accounted for 46.94%, which implied drug overuse. Conclusion Medication for every system is basically timely and rational when treating symptoms and causes in the West China Hospital within one month after Lushan earthquake. However, the rationality of emergency medications using DUI=1 under normal conditions still needs to be further verified.
In recent years, reports of domestic robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty have gradually increased. In response to problems that may arise during the perioperative period, West China Hospital of Sichuan University has adopted measures such as the establishment of multidisciplinary team, adequate preoperative evaluation, precise intraoperative operations, and whole process optimization management (incision management, pain management, functional exercise and follow-up management). Combined with the actual clinical situation, a domestic robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty management program during the perioperative period was explored and formulated to promote the recovery of patients. This article introduces the above-mentioned program, and aims to provide a reference for the management optimization of domestic robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty during the perioperative period.
Objective We searched for evidence on mycophenolate mofetil(MMF) as a treatment for patients with diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis. Methods We attempted to find the current best evidence by searching The Cochrane Library(Issue 4, 2005), MEDLINE(1990 to June 2007), CMB(1980 to December 2006), CNKI(1979 to October 2007). We critically appraised the available evidence. Results Four systematic reviews and 6 randomized controlled trials of high quality were available. MMF and prednisolone were found to be an effective continuous induction-maintenance treatment for diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis. MMF was associated with less drug toxicity. Conclusion Given the current evidence and our clinical experience, and considering the patient and the values and preferences of his family,MMF was given at 1 g daily in combination with steroids at the beginning. No obvious adverse effects occurred during 3 months of follow-up.

The monotherapy in patients with medication accounted for 75.76%. b) There were 5 types of tumour related drugs, including 56 kinds of different drugs, and the total frequency was 6 460 and the average cost was 2 219.38 yuan. The first three drugs classified by 5 types were traditional Chinese drugs (TCM, 28.50%), other therapy (24.91%), and etiological treatment (22.23%). c) For etiological treatment, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) accounted for 59.96%, and the first three drugs were gefitinib, recombinant human endostatin, and erlotinib. d) For symptomatic treatment, analgesic drugs accounted for 43.65%; and the first three drugs were tramadol hydrochloride sustained-release tablets, sodium zoledronic oxycodone, and acetaminophen. e) For ADR therapy, liver drugs accounted for 40.97%; and the first three drugs were palonosetron hydrochloride, licorice, and diammonium pantoprazole. f) Other treatment involved immunopotentiating drugs and hematopoietic growth factors, the ratios were 62.65% and 37.35%, and the first three drugs were thymalfasin, thymopentin, and recombinant interleukin-11. g) Huisheng, Banao capsule and Bailing capsule were at the first three usage in TCM, the ratios of which were 51.06%, 15.37%, and 13.91%. h) The top ten drugs were Huisheng oral liquid, gefitinib and thymus AFP, thymopentin recombinant interleukin-11, chelating compound spot capsules, recombinant human endostatin, tramadol hydrochloride extended release tablets, sodium, zole dronic, and Bailing capsule. ConclusionThe antitumor therapies were mainly TKI single drug regimen for over-60-year outpatients with lung cancer in the West China hospital of Sichuan University in 2011. The most frequently used adjuvant therapies are antalgic, antitussive and skeletal related events prevention drugs. Besides, Chinese patent medicines are in common use as well.
ObjectiveTo retrospectively investigate the drug use of over-60-year inpatients with lung cancer in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University in 2011, and to compare with outpatients with lung cancer concurrently, so as to evaluate the rationality of drug use among over-60-year inpatients with lung cancer in the West China Hospital. MethodsThe information of over-60-year inpatients with lung cancer as initial diagnosis in the West China Hospital in 2011 was collected from the hospital information system (HIS), including patient information, drug use information, cost information, etc. Data rearrangement and analysis by classes and costs were carried out using Microsoft Excel 2010 software. Resultsa) There was 2 215 person-times of over-60-year inpatients with lung cancer in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University in 2011. A total of 5 classes, 63 kinds of anti-tumor and adjuvant therapy drugs were involved. The total drug use frequency was 12 398 person-times. The average medicine cost was 774.93 yuan. b) The ratio of patients using 1 to 4 kinds of drugs was 34.31%, 5 to 10 kinds was 41.9%, and 11 to 15 kinds was 12.63%. c) For etiological treatment, the ratio of chemotherapy drugs was 99.45%, and the most used was cisplatin. d) For symptomatic treatment, the ratio of analgesics was 66.69%; the ratio of antitussive drugs was 21.33%; and the ratio of skeletal related events prevention drugs was 11.98%. e) For anti-ADR treatment, the ratio of antiemetic drugs was 55.07%; the ratio of stomach protection drugs was 32.63%; and the ratio of hepatic protection drugs was 12.30%. f) For other treatment, the ratio of immunopotentiating drugs was 59.46%; and the ratio of hematopoietic growth factor was 25.42%. g) For Chinese patent medicine, drugs used over 400 person-times were Diyushengbai tablet, Javanica oil emulsion injection, Aidi injection, and Huisheng oral liquid. h) For single/combined treatment, the ratio of two-drug combined chemotherapy was 78.38%, one analgesics drug treatment was 66.21%, one hepatic protection drug treatment was 83.41%, two-drug combined antanacathartic treatment was 45.88%, one stomach protection drug treatment was 90.53%, one immunopotentiating drug treatment was 90.53%, one hematopoietic growth factor treatment was 82.31%, and one Chinese patent medicine treatment was 37.39%, respectively; and antitussive and skeletal related events prevention drugs were used alone. i) The use frequency of the top 10 drugs were: pantoprazole, tropisetron, ondansetron, diphenhydramine, thymopentin, cisplatin, Diyushengbai tablet, tramadol, Javanica oil emulsion injection, and Aidi injection. j) Compared with outpatients, inpatients drug use frequency was higher in chemotherapy, analgesics, antiemetic, stomach protection, hepatic protection drugs, and Chinese patent medicine; but lower in skeletal related events prevention drug; and similar to the drug use situation of outpatients in immunopotentiating drugs and hematopoietic growth factor drugs. ConclusionThe antitumor therapies were mainly the combination of two chemotherapy drugs or single drug regimen for over-60-year inpatients with lung cancer in the West China hospital of Sichuan University in 2011. The most frequently used adjuvant therapies are antalgic, antiemetic and stomach protection drugs. Chinese patent medicine and immunopotentiating drugs are in common use as well.

The purpose of this article is to promote this model, focus on the advantages of clinical departments and research institutes (offices), increase regional integration, give play to the synergy of regional alliances in clinical diagnosis and treatment and personnel training, and use international cooperation as an opportunity to promote breakthroughs in new drugs and technologies for rare diseases to benefit patients with rare diseases in China.
Objective To comparatively analyze the rationality of emergency medication after Wenchuan earthquake with that after Lushan earthquake in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, based on the use of medicine of the victim’s disease spectrum. Method By using Excel, defined daily dose system (DDDs) and drug utilization index (DUI) were used as the evaluation indexes to analyze the rationality of emergency medication in West China Hospital of Sichuan University within one month after Wenchuan earthquake and Lushan earthquake. Results Within one month after Wenchuan and Lushan earthquake, there were 1 839 and 488 victims treated in the hospital, respectively. Within one month after the two earthquakes, the variation tendency of DDDs of drugs and number of victims was consistent, and the consistency was better in Lushan earthquake than that in Wenchuan earthquake. Among the 60 drugs which DDDs were ranked top five in their pharmacological class (top ten for antimicrobials) in Wenchuan earthquake, the majority of them were injections (injections vs. non-injections: 70.0% vs. 30.0%); the results showed that the medication (DUI=1) only accounted for 10.0%, the medication (DUI<1) accounted for 28.3%, which implied that the use of drugs was insufficient, the medication (DUI>1) accounted for 61.7%, which implied that drugs were overused; the average of DUI was 1.61. And in Lushan earthquake, injections also accounted for a larger proportion than non-injections (63.3%vs. 36.7%); the results showed that the medication (DUI=1) accounted for 15.0%, the medication (DUI<1) accounted for 38.3%, the medication (DUI>1) accounted for 46.7%; the average of DUI was 1.30. Conclusions Base on the DUI, we draw the conclusion that the rationality of emergency drug use and the timeliness of emergency drug supply were better in Lushan earthquake than those in Wenchuan earthquake. But the rationality of using the DUI, which is an evaluation index for normal conditions, to evaluate the emergency conditions still needs to be further verified.
