Methods 80 male and female SD rats were randomly divided into four groups (0, 85.5, 171.0, 342.0 mg/kg) by body weight. All rats were intraperitoneally injected with vehicle or FS daily for 14 days followed by a 28-day recovery period. The clinical signs, hematological and biochemical indices were measured. The pathology were observed. Results Increase of white blood cell count (WBC) and decrease of fibrinogen (FIB) in d 14 were found in 171.0 mg/kg and 342.0 mg/kg dosage groups. Furthermore, the tendency of weight increase of spleen were found in 171.0 mg/kg and 342.0 mg/kg dosage groups. Pathological exams of peritoneal cavity found that there were granulation tissues containing FS in some of the rats in 342.0 mg/kg group. All of these changes got reversed after the recovery period. Conclusion The safety dose in this study is considered to be 85.5 mg/kg, and the toxicity dose is 171.0 mg/kg. The target toxicity systems or site of FS in SD rats are hematological system, immune system and injection site. The toxic effects of FS are reversible.

Methods Databases of PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMbase, CENTRAL, VIP, WanFang, CBM and CNKI were electronically searched till August, 2014 for clinical trials on lamotrigine for absence seizures in children and adolescents. All literature were screened by two reviewers independently according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.The data was extracted, and the methodological quality was assessed. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2. Results Seven trials were included involving a total of 721 patients. The Results of methodological qualities were two studies rated as A-class, three studies rated as B-class and two studies rated as C-class. Meta-analysis Results showed that the efficacy of lamotrigine monotherapy for absence seizure in children and adolescents was better than placebo, but efficacy of lamotrigine was lower than valproic acid and ethosuximide. The adverse reaction rates of lamotrigine were with no significant difference compared with valproic acid and ethosuximide. Conclusion Lamotrigine monotherapy was effective for absence seizures in children and adolescents and was well tolerated. Lamotrigine was a good choice for patients that are intolerable to valproic acid or ethosuximide.

Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the pharmacoeconomics of two different dosing regimens of levofloxacin treating the bacterial infections of lower respiratory tract, and provide the basis for selecting the security, effective and economic treatment programs clinically. Methods The 108 patients with bacterial infections of lower respiratory tract were divided into the intravenous group and sequential group randomly, the intravenous group used levofloxacin for the intravenous infusion and the sequential group firstly for the intravenous infusion and then for the oral levofloxacin capsule, and the total treatment course of two groups were 7-14 days, and the days of drug use of the two groups should be same so as to conduct the minimal cost analysis for the above two programs. Results The total cost per one patient of the intravenous group (1 779.80±304.15 yuan) was higher than the sequential group(1 290.85±173.76 yuan) significantly, treatment unit of each group needed cost 34.89 yuan and 14.52 yuan respectively. Compared with the sequential group, the intravenous group needed spend more 264.3 yuan.The recovery rate of the two groups was 72.22% and 62.96% respectively(P>0.05), the total effective rate of the two groups was 90.74% and 88.89% respectively(P>0.05), the clearance rate of bacteria of the two groups was 86.96% and 84.44% respectively(P>0.05), and the incidence of adverse reactions was 9.26% and 7.41% respectively(P>0.05).

Abstract:
Objective Since it is a common problem for medical practice that paper instructions for medicine information are difficult to update and inconvenient to search, this article is to provide convenient service of pharmacy information for clinical practice by developing medicine information search software in our hospital. Methods According to the practical needs of clinical study and pharmacy research, we took appropriate measures to collect data, categorize contents, scan pictures, polish images and extract information for the medicine instructions. Based on the above work, we applied Oracle 10G to establish medicine information database for our hospital and utilized Java to design medicine information search software. Results Our search software includes 1 201 kinds of medicines, taking up 98.85% of the medicines in our catalogue. The users can use four different search Methods (including common name search, commodity name search, fuzzy search and key word search) to gain the written material and photographic information of medicine instructions. Conclusion With the help of the software of Oracle and Java, the newly designed software for medicine information search can provide convenient pharmacy information service for clinical practice.
