The Impact of Patient Access to Their Electronic Health Record on Medication Management Safety: A Narrative Review

IntroductionAs the American’s Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) stated that patients should be allowed to review their medical records, and as information technology is ever more widely used by healthcare professionals and patients, providing patients with online access to their own medical records through a patient portal is becoming increasingly popular. Previous research has been done regarding the impact on the quality and safety of patients’ care, rather than explicitly on medication safety, when providing those patients with access to their electronic health records (EHRs).AimThis narrative review aims to summarise the results from previous studies on the impact on medication management safety concepts of adult patients accessing information contained in their own EHRs.ResultA total of 24 studies were included in this review. The most two commonly studied measures of safety in medication management were: (a) medication adherence and (b) patient-reported experience. Other measures, such as: discrepancies, medication errors, appropriateness and Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) were the least studied.ConclusionThe results suggest that providing patients with access to their EHRs can improve medication management safety. Patients pointed out improvements to the safety of their medications and perceived stronger medication control. The data from these studies lay the foundation for future research.     

肝X受体激动剂在肿瘤治疗中的研究进展北大核心

肝X受体(liver X receptors,LXRs)是孤儿核受体转录因子超家族成员,当LXRs被激活后,可调节靶基因的转录表达,不但参与胆固醇、脂肪、糖的代谢以及炎症等过程,并且在许多恶性肿瘤组织中均有表达。为全面了解肝X受体激动剂在治疗癌症中的研究现状,本文将从肝X受体激动剂与胃癌、肝癌、卵巢癌、乳腺癌、子宫内膜癌、肺癌以及结直肠癌的相关性方面进行综述。     

植物花青素对肿瘤抑制作用的研究进展

植物花青素是一类可溶于水的类黄酮,主要存在于各种蔬菜水果中。常见的植物花青素主要分为天竺葵色素(Pelargonidin)、芍药色素(Peonidin)、矢车菊色素(Cyanidin)、锦葵色素(Malvidin)、矮牵牛色素(Petunidin)、飞燕草色素(Delphinidin)六种;植物花青素分子中含有共轭双键体系,并含有碱性或酸性基团,因而具有抗氧化、抗炎、调节免疫、抗衰老和抑癌等生物学作用,尤其以抑癌作用最为突出。因此,本文将对植物花青素的抑癌作用及可能的机制进行综述。     

蛋白质精氨酸甲基转移酶1在肿瘤发生发展中作用的研究进展北大核心

蛋白质精氨酸甲基转移酶1(protein arginine methyltransferase 1,PRMT1)是主要的Ⅰ型精氨酸甲基转移酶,催化一甲基化和不对称二甲基化,其底物被甲基化后参与细胞生物学过程。研究表明,PRMT1在多种恶性肿瘤中异常表达,促进肿瘤细胞的增殖、侵袭和迁移,调控人类多种肿瘤发生发展过程,揭示PRMT1可能成为肿瘤治疗中潜在的生物标志物或靶点。本文对PRMT1的结构、底物、生物学功能、及其在肿瘤发生发展中的作用进行总结,旨在为今后研究PRMT1相关肿瘤提供参考。
