Pharmacy in transition: A work sampling study of community pharmacists using smartphone technology

Introduction

The nature of community pharmacy is changing, shifting from the preparation and distribution of medicines to the provision of cognitive pharmaceutical services (CPS); however, often the provision of traditional services leaves little time for innovative services. This study investigated the time community pharmacists spend on the tasks and activities of daily practice and to what extent they are able to implement CPS-related services in daily practice.

Kinetic modeling of PET-FDG in the brain without blood sampling

The aim in this work is to report a new method to calculate parametric images from a single scan acquisition with positron emission tomography (PET) and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in the human brain without blood sampling. It is usually practical for research or clinical purposes to inject the patient in an isolated room and to start the PET acquisition only for some 10–20 min, about 30 min after FDG injection. In order to calculate the cerebral metabolic rates for glucose (CMRG), usually several blood samples are required. The proposed method considers the relation between the uptake of the tracer in the cerebellum as a reference tissue and the population based input curve. Similar results were obtained for CMRG values with the present method in comparison to the usual autoradiographic and the non-linear least squares fitting of regions of interest.     

吉非罗齐中有机溶剂残留量的顶空毛细管GC测定

建立了顶空毛细管GC法测定吉非罗齐中甲酸乙酯、THF和甲基环己烷3种有机溶剂的残留量。采用HP-1毛细管柱，溶剂DMA，内标乙酸乙酯。平均同收率分别为99．8％、100．3％、100．0％，RSD分别为0．71％、1．51％和1．76％。     

肝组织HBVDNA定量检查的临床意义

由于对HBV感染的认识正在不断深入，抗病毒治疗急待寻找判定效果可靠的方法，HBVDNA检测，特别是血液和肝组织定量检测显得极春重要。不加选择对HBV感染作肝活检时留取小粒肝组织，同时采血作HBVDNA定量检查。急慢性HBV感染病例均示肝组织内HBVDNA检查明显高于血内检出率，同时肝组织HBV含量明显高于血液的含量。肝组织检测HBVDNA可以明显提高HBV感染诊断率，血内HBVDNA阴转时不能说明肝组织内亦已阴转，血内HBVDNA阴转不宜随即停止治疗。

目的建立石茶感冒胶囊中可能残留的7种有机溶剂（正己烷、苯、甲苯、对二甲苯、邻二甲苯、苯乙烯、二乙烯苯）的检测方法。方法采用顶空气相色谱法，色谱柱为Agilent HP—INNOWAX毛细管柱（30m×1．0mm，0．53μm），载气为高纯氮气；项空温度为70℃，顶空时间30min；柱温自30℃恒定5min，以10℃／min升温速率升至200℃，恒定5min；氢火焰离子检测器（FID），温度为250℃。结果7种有机溶剂残留物在所考察的浓度范围内线性关系良好（r=0．9994～0．9998），精密度RSD均小于5．0％，被测组分的平均回收率在99．16％～102．0％之间。结论该方法操作简便、快速、准确度高，可用于检测石茶感冒胶囊中的有机溶剂残留物。     

软胶囊崩解迟缓现象影响因素研究

目的：研究储存条件以及软胶囊处方对明胶胶片稳定性的影响，探讨软胶囊崩解迟缓的原因。方法：制备明胶胶片模拟软胶囊囊壳，采用溶胀动力学法测定明胶胶片平衡溶胀量(Seq)，同时测定软胶囊内容物溶媒PEG400中甲醛含量。以上述结果为指标，考察不同储存条件与胶囊处方对明胶胶片交联程度的影响。结果：空白明胶胶片在40℃条件下Seq与对照组具有极显著性差异，PEG400中甲醛含量增加。含有甘油、山梨醇、二氧化钛等辅料的胶片浸泡在PEG400中后Seq与对照组具有极显著性差异，PEG400中甲醛含量量著增加。加速条件下含有抗氧剂的胶片Seq与PEG400中甲醛含量变化不大。结论：在考察的储存条件中，温度对软胶囊稳定性影响较大。含有一些常用辅料的明胶胶片易受PEG400中外源性醛类杂质的影响，Seq降低。低沮保存、纯化辅料以及添加抗氧剂有助于缓解软胶囊崩解迟缓现象的发生。     

Do forceps biopsies truthfully reflect the nature of endoscopically uncovered polypoid lesions of the colon?

BACKGROUND: Total excision of colonic polyps is not always attainable and in some patients it is clinically contraindicated. Also, a resected polyp may be lost at any step between its endoscopic removal and its embedding in paraffin. The aim of this study was to compare the histological features of colonic polyps as analysed by the study of biopsy-forceps obtained samples with those assessed on scrutinizing the totally resected growths. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This prospective study included a cohort of 59 patients in whom, in the course of an elective colonoscopy, a total excision of a 6 mm-sized or larger polyp was called for. Sizeable biopsies were obtained by means of an Olympus Multibyte forceps prior to the total polypectomy. Subsequent to the study of the polypectomy specimens, the forceps biopsy samples were submitted for histological examination. The pathologists were blinded as to the source of the tissue they were studying. The diagnoses rendered by evaluating the biopsy samples and polypectomy specimens of each patient were contrasted with each other. RESULTS: Major discrepancies between the histological features of the fragments captured by the biopsy-forceps and the factual nature of the totally removed polyps were uncovered in 11 (18.6%) of 59 cases. Intriguingly, the grade of the tumours was underrated in all the 11 cases, as judged by contrasting the tentative diagnoses of the forceps-biopsies with the decisive diagnoses of the polypectomies. Importantly, 2 adenocarcinomas would have been missed by just looking at the forceps-retrieved sample. CONCLUSIONS: In our experience, a discordance of 18.6% is to be expected between the diagnoses rendered after examining forceps-biopsies of and totally excised colonic polyps. Nevertheless, it is advisable to procure biopsies prior to the excision of the growths, because on those occasions in which patients' growths cannot be removed or have not been retrieved for one reason or another, a small forceps-captured tissue sample correctly reflects the characteristics of the polyp in 81.4% of the cases. Finally, the biopsies may be discarded in the event that total removal was successful.

Hydrops Fetalis Caused by Fetal Kasabach-Merritt Syndrome

There have been only 2 previous reports of nonimmunologic hydrops fetalis (NIHF) caused by fetal Kasabach-Merritt syndrome, both of which were pathological studies. This is the first clinical case report of NIHF due to fetal Kasabach-Merritt syndrome that was prenatally diagnosed by sonography, computerized tomography, and percutaneous umbilical blood sampling.
