PL-3 THE NEED TO INTEGRATE BIOLOGY INTO PHARMACEUTICS Crispin R Dass Curtin University, Bentley 6102, Australia In the past, there has been a separation of the roles played by pharmaceutical science and biological science. This separation was absolute in academia and thus persisted in research. Nowadays, with the need to prepare graduates for a more 'wholesome' experience, there is a slow but steady realisation, and thus push, for pharmaceutics curricula to incorporate aspects of relevant biology. Certainly, in the pharmaceutical research arena, biological science is a necessary accompaniment for success. In this talk, I will present some examples of cases where this marriage became necessary, albeit not planned at the outset of the studies. The secret to success in this alliance is constant dialogue and the need for both parties to be flexible and open to new ideas. Keywords: pharmaceutics, pharmacy, biology, education, curriculum, research

PL-4 DISCOVERING NEW APPROACHES TO HELPING COMMUNITY PHARMACISTS BECOME MORE EFFECTIVE IN PROVIDING PHARMACEUTICAL CARE Rich Segal University of Florida, HPNP 4332 Death from drug therapy is much more common than most people realize. Adverse effects of drug therapy may be the fourth leading cause of death in United States and it is actually a worldwide problem. Some episodes of drug therapy will involve drug therapy problems. Among those problems are adherence problems, which results from the actions the patient makes concerning his or her willingness or ability to use the medication as instructed. Poor medication taking practices represent one of the more vexing problems limiting the effectiveness of medications. Improving medication adherence has been particularly challenging among certain ethnic groups with hypertension, especially since antihypertensive medications can cause side effects that lead patients to feel worse. Cultural experiences, especially among these groups, shape their medication-use practices. For example, some beliefs about how to treat hypertension are passed down from generation to generation and those cultural beliefs shape decisions made by patients. Further, beliefs and self-treatment decisions are not often shared with medical providers, which may lead providers to conclude a medication is ineffective when, in fact, patients are altering their medication-use practices to be consistent with culturally-based beliefs. This presentation speaks to the need for creating a new role for Community Health Workers (CHW) and a new relationship between CHWs and community pharmacists. Keywords: pharmaceutical care, interdisciplinary practice models, preventing adverse drug events

PL-5 ALIGNMENT OF PHARMACIST'S PRACTICE WITH GLOBAL AND REGIONAL HEALTH TRENDS AND PRIORITIES Roderick Layug Salenga University of the Philippines Manila, Philippines Pharmacists' roles continue to evolve and expand as the health needs of patients and populations change over time. Given the complex health care environment in the Asian region beset by socioeconomic-political challenges and competing priorities for overstretched resources, timely and equitable access to essential medicines of assured safety, efficacy and quality remains a major challenge. Unfortunately, this lack of access to essential medicines continues to place an unacceptable burden on health as well as on economic development to the countries and the whole Asian region. With the articulation of the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, opportunities for more active involvement of the pharmacy sector in the health system and social development have opened. Certain traditional roles have been reaffirmed, but new functions have emerged. The objective of this paper is to discuss perspectives on how the profession can effectively move forward by using various practice entry points where pharmacist-initiated/provided services can deliver maximum impact to the society. An analysis of the major challenges, priority needs and what can be considered as strategic actions to address these shall be made in an effort to spell out a blueprint for relevant pharmacy practice in Asia. Keywords: pharmacy practice, health priorities, health trends, sustainable development goals

S-AW DEVELOPMENT OF CHITOSAN AND ITS WATER SOLUBLE DERIVATIVES FOR DRUG/GENE CARRIERS Praneet Opanasopit Department of pharmaceutical technology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Silpakorn Univerity, Nakhonpathom, 73000, Thailand Chitosan, the cationic polysaccharide obtained by alkaline deacetylation of chitin, is non-toxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable. These properties make chitosan a good candidate for the development of drug delivery systems. As a polycationic polymer with favorable properties, it has been widely used to form polyelectrolyte complexes with polyanions for various applications in the drug and gene delivery fields. Moreover, it has been studied as a potential absorption enhancer across mucosal epithelia for transmucosal drug delivery. However, the main drawback of chitosan is its water-insoluble property at the physiological pH (pH 7.4). Chitosan is a weak base, and in neutral and basic environments, chitosan molecules lose their charge and precipitate from solution. With suitable chemical modification, these chitosan derivatives can provide better materials for drug delivery systems. In this presentation, an overview highlights not only the favorable properties of chitosan and its water soluble derivatives, but their various types of application as drug carriers are also presented. Different types of chitosan derivatives developed as drug carriers include (1) amphiphilic chitosan derivatives as drug delivery carriers, (2) the quaternary ammonium chitosan derivatives for gene carriers and for absorption enhancing properties and oral protein drug delivery, (3) chitosan-based nanofiber mats loaded with Garcinia mangostana extracts as wound dressings and dental caries prevention. These novel modified chitosans have the potential to be used as drug/gene carriers, oral absorption enhancers of therapeutic macromolecules and also for wound dressing. In conclusion, chitosan and its derivatives are promising materials as delivery carriers of various types of therapeutic agents. Keywords: chitosan, chitosan derivatives, gene carriers, drug delivery, absorption enhancer

S-IV-1 STUDIES ON SPECIALIZED METABOLISMS BY GENOMICS, TRANSCRIPTOMICS AND METABOLOMICS Mami Yamazaki Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chiba University, Chuo-ku, Chiba, Japan The recent advances of plant omics help us to understand about the molecular basis, the reaction mechanisms and regulatory systems, in plant specialized metabolisms. We applied the integral analysis of transcriptome and metabolome to understand molecular mechanisms of alkaloid production in medicinal plants. The genes associated with alkaloid production were profiled and some of them were characterized. The pathways were predicted from metabolome change in engineered cells. Furthermore, some of molecular evolution of alkaloid biosyntheses has been traced by the comparative study among related and unrelated species. In this presentation, I will report our recent investigation on gene discovery for biosynthesis of plant specialized products. Keywords: transcriptome, metabolize, evolution

S-IV-2 POTENTIAL NATURAL PRODUCTS FOR ANTI-CANCER APPROACHES Pithi Chanvorachote Department of Pharmacology and Physiology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok Accumulative evidences have proved that natural products are the promising sources of bioactive compounds for anti-cancer drug discovery and development. Herein, we have reported several natural product-derived compounds that possess anti-cancer activities demonstrated in lung cancer cell model. Compounds isolated from several plants were shown to mediate cancer cell death via apoptosis, inhibit cancer cell migration and invasion, and sensitize drug resistance and anoikis. According to the recent evidence suggesting that cancer stem cells (CSCs), unique cancer cells with capabilities of self-renewal and differentiation, are central players of cancer initiation, progression, metastasis and aggressive behaviors, CSCtargeted therapy has attracted tremendous attentions due to the promising of this unique therapeutic approach may attenuate the progression of cancer as well as improve the clinical outcome. We have provided information regarding activities and underlying mechanisms of pure active compounds isolated from natural products in suppressing CSC and their stemness in lung cancer. In closing, the presented information may encourage the further investigation and development of these potential natural product-derived compounds for novel anti-cancer approaches. Keywords: natural product, anti-cancer, cancer stem cell, lung cancer

S-IV-3 PHARMACOGENOMICS OF DRUG-INDUCED HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS: CHALLENGES, OPPORTUNITIES AND CLINICAL IMPLEMENTATIONS Wichittra Tassaneeyakul Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, Thailand Cutaneous adverse drug reactions are the most common types of adverse drug reactions in Thailand. These reactions are idiosyncratic and some of them including Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and the drug reaction with eosinophilia and systematic symptoms (DRESS) are severe life-threatening reactions. It has been hypothesized that drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions may be related to the patients’ genetic backgrounds, however, genes that are definitely involved in these reactions were not known until the last decade. Recent advances in pharmacogenomic studies have provided evidence for associations between the polymorphism of gene encoding for human leukocyte antigens (HLA) and SCAR induced by abacavir, allopurinol, carbamazepine, phenytoin or dapsone. Moreover, polymorphism of drug metabolizing enzymes may also play a significant role in the interindividual susceptibility to drug-induced SCAR as demonstrated in the phenytoin-induced SJS/TEN. It is noteworthy that associations between genetic polymorphisms of HLA and SCAR induced by some drugs are specific to certain phenotypes of SCAR and ethnicities. The HLA-B*15:02 is strongly associated with CBZ-induced SJS/TEN but not in other CBZinduced cutaneous reactions and these associations occur in Han Chinese, Thai, Malaysian and Indian populations but not in Japanese or Caucasian populations. Recent evidence suggests that the HLA is not only a genetic biomarker of SCAR but it is a key element of immunopathogenesis of drug-induced SCAR. Screenings of HLA genotypes in order to ensure the safety of drug therapy in patients who may be at a higher risk of SCAR induced by allopurinol, abacavir or carbamazepine are routinely available in several countries.

S-IV-4 SUPERSATURATION STRATEGY FOR ENHANCED ABSORPTION OF POORLY WATER-SOLUBLE DRUGS Kunikazu Moribe Chiba University, Japan Dissolution enhancement is one of the strategies to improve the absorption a poorly watersoluble drug when it is administered by an oral route. Amorphous solid dispersions, where a drug is dispersed in the polymer matrix as the molecular or the cluster state, have been developed and some of the related formulations are on the market. The mechanism of dissolution enhancement is based on drug supersaturation by crystallization inhibition of drug and/or on drug solubilization in the presence of polymer. The contribution depends on kind of polymers and drug. In many cases, drug dissolution enhancement due to solubilization does not contribute to the membrane permeation. Not only the dissolution enhancement but also the dissolution rate from solid dispersion has to be taken into account for the formulation optimization. In this presentation, effect of crystallization inhibition on drug permeation was compared with that of the solubilization. Drug supersaturation properties in the physiological condition was evaluated using NMR. Finally, correlation between crystallization inhibition of drug and the dissolution rate from solid dispersion was investigated. Characterization of drug dissolution should be crucial to estimate membrane permeation of drug as well as the formulation optimization. Keywords: supersaturation, solubilization, absorption enhancement, NMR

S-IV-5 RECENT APPLICATIONS OF CAPILLARY AND MICROCHIP ELECTROPHORESIS IN PHARMACEUTICAL ANALYSIS Leena Suntornsuk Faculty of Pharmacy, Mahidol University, Bangkok 10400 Thailand Electrophoresis-based methods such as capillary (CE) and microchip electrophoresis (ME) are novel trends in analytical chemistry because of their unique separation mechanism, speed, and efficiency. Separation in CE is based on different mobility of analytes under an electric field, which occurs in a capillary filled with buffer. A large surface area to volume ratio of a capillary provides effective heat dissipation. The small dimension of a capillary requires small amounts of samples and buffer and the automation of CE requires less time and labor consuming. ME is a miniaturized platform of CE and is now considered as a simpler and more convenient alternative, which provides high-throughput, cost-effectiveness and portability for point-ofcare application. During the past decades, both techniques have grown from a simple to sophisticated methods due to several innovations (e.g. new modes, in-line derivatization, nanomaterials, etc.). These result in multiplied applications to various analytes including pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis. Recent applications of CE and ME in these areas (e.g. measurements of opioid peptides, amino acids in microdialysis samples and determination of adamantane drugs in dosage forms) will be discussed in the presentation. Keywords: capillary electrophoresis, microchip electrophoresis, pharmacueitcal analysis, opioid peptides, amino acids, adamantanes

S-IV-6 TABLETS PREPARED FROM COAMORPHOUS INDOMETHACINARGININE Peter Kleinebudde Heinrich Heine University DĂźsseldorf, Germany Coamorphous systems consist of an API and a second small molecule to stabilize the single phase amorphous state. They have a potential to improve oral bioavailability of poorly watersoluble drugs through drug dissolution enhancement as a result of the amorphous nature of the material. Recently, amino acids were suggested as components in coamorphous systems. However, the downstream processing to achieve a final dosage form has not been shown. First results to prepare tablets from a coamorphous system containing spray dried indomethacinearginine are reported. It was possible to produce tablets, which were physically stable. The tablets eroded during dissolution test and provided a high supersaturation over a longer time compared to tablets from a physical mixture of the crystalline materials. However, even the tablets from the physical mixture resulted in a supersaturation due to in situ amorphisation of indomethacine. The dissolution behaviour and the solid state properties of the tablets will be discussed in detail.

H-IV-1 PHARMACIST’S ROLES IN A SUCCESSFUL ANTIBIOTIC STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM – EXPERIENCES FROM TAIWAN Yuh Lih Chang Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan The misuse of antibiotics has contributed to the growing worldwide problem of antibiotic resistance, which has become one of the most serious and rising threats to public health. Improving the use of antibiotics is an important issue and a national priority. To optimize the appropriate use of antibiotics, the Centers for Disease Control of Taiwan conducted a three year national Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP) since January 2013. Taipei Veterans General Hospital was one of the leading demonstration centers of ASP and the director of pharmacy was recruited as a steering committee member of the program. We led to set up the national accreditation criteria for pharmacists in ASP including clinical pharmacist staffing, involvement of antibiotic control policies, percentage of in-time prescription evaluation, clinical pharmacy services, established clinical decision support functions in prescribing, patient education, statistics and outcome evaluation, etc. On the other hand, we built up inhouse policies and novel mechanisms for proper use of antibiotics with favorable outcome. With the efforts of multidisciplinary cooperation, the ASP in Taiwan not only making the profession of pharmacist more visible, but also demonstrating that pharmacists indeed play an essential role in planning, executing, auditing and educating in the collaborated teamwork of ASP.

H-IV-2 EXPANDING THE ROLE OF PHARMACISTS - EXPERIENCE OF MANAGING PHARMACIST CLINIC Yanqun Evonne Lee National Healthcare Group Pharmacy, Singapore The role of pharmacists has evolved today and has moved beyond just compounding and dispensing medicines to patients at the pharmacy counters. Clinical pharmacists, especially, are more involved in direct patient care during ambulatory care clinic sessions. At the National Healthcare Group (NHG) Pharmacy, clinical pharmacists manage and care for patient on Warfarin in the Anticoagulation Clinic (ACC) as well as complex patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension and/or dyslipidemia in the Hypertension-Diabetes-Lipids (HDL) clinic. Besides our ACC and HDL clinics, our pharmacists are also actively involved in smoking cessation counselling and medication review for our patients. This session aims to give a brief overview of the clinic’s protocols and processes, followed by case studies to illustrate patient management through continuity of care and close monitoring for better clinical outcomes, and suggestions for future improvements to these services. Keywords: direct patient care, ambulatory care clinics, pharmacists' role

C-AW THE ROLE OF COMMUNITY PHARMACIST HOME HEALTH CARE IN COMMUNITY Sirirat Tunpichart Community Pharmacy Association (Thailand), Bangkok 10310, Thailand Background: Thailand, the burdens of health was diabetes, cardio-vascular diseases, and kidney diseases that impacts to health care cost and quality of life. Especially, stroke is the long term disability and cause of death. Stroke have impact on the family members that provide care for ailing patients. The drug related problems (DRPs) frequently occur, side effect and drug interactions, leading to problems on disease controlled. The objective of this study was implied the community pharmacist home health care services for medication management for stroke patients by patient center care model. Methods: An action research was conducted during 20112015 in Bangkok. The stroke patients were purposively selective by neurologist and nurse from Taksin Hospital. The community pharmacist provided the home health care visiting in 3 to 6 times as intensive service design. This service included the medication management, and empowering caregivers. The medication therapy management was services for stroke patient. Results: Data were gathered for 33 stroke patients that discharge from hospital. They were taking drug on average of 6 medications with the high alert drug especially such as warfarin. The pharmacist identified the problems and improved in safety issues (adverse drug reactions, drug interaction and over used), adherences and effectiveness issue. The side effects of warfarin and mistaken administration were prompt detected and collected data to physician. The caregiver improved the food and drug management for stroke patients. Conclusion: The stroke patients was delivering effective care by the multidisciplinary teams. This study established that community pharmacist home health care could alleviated patients’ medication utilization problems and would thus improve overall quality of patient care. Keywords: drug related problems (DRPs), home health care, medication therapy management, multidisciplinary teams

C-IV-1 THE IMPORTANCE OF COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINES FOR PHARMACISTS AND CUSTOMERS Lesley Braun PhD, BPharm. Blackmores Institute, Sydney Australia; National institute of Complementary Medicine; Western Sydney University, Australia Complementary medicines refer to nutritional supplements, herbal medicines and food concentrates which are available over-the-counter in pharmacies. Surveys indicate they are very popular amongst the public who use them to maintain good health, treat disease, manage symptoms and prevent future disease. Whilst they are used as therapeutic agents, there is also the potential to induce drug interactions. The risk of drug interactions is highest when patients are taking multiple medications or those drugs with a narrow therapeutic index self-select their products and don’t receive professional guidance about a safe and appropriate choice. This is particularly the case for older customers. As healthcare professionals, pharmacists are ideally placed to provide advice about the rational use of complementary medicine to ensure patients select appropriately, have realistic expectations and use them safely. Choosing the correct dosage, time frames for use and high quality products will help maximise the benefits and customers may also need guidance with these selections. According to a national survey of Australian pharmacy customers, the vast majority want pharmacists to take a more active role in guiding their complementary medicine selection. More specifically, 92% thought pharmacists should provide safety information and 87% thought they should recommend effective supplements.In contrast, a national survey of Australian pharmacists identified that few feel confident discussing complementary medicines, have received training or have the knowledge to provide evidence based information. There is an urgent need for pharmacists to upskill in this area inorder to provide and informed opinion to their customers.

C-IV-2 INFORMATION SYSTEM OFFERS COMMUNITY PHARMACY TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL HEALTHCARE IN TAIWAN Bluce Huang Taipei Pharmacists Association (TPA), Taiwan In Taiwan, community pharmacy provides diverse services to people such as dispensing prescriptions, healthcare consultation, providing over-the-counter drugs, Nutritional Supplements and medical devices. Sometimes people come to a community pharmacy for measuring their blood pressure, blood sugar and body composition. The health care service is now developing new horizon and individualized. To follow the trend, it is important to know the data including medical history, medical record, consuming behavior‌etc. However, some of these data are incompletely collected or not integrated. Therefore, how to make use of these data via information system and let pharmacists have more complete information to exert their professional skill and to promote people health is worthy to be discussed.

C-IV-3 COMMUNITY PHARMACY IN JAPAN Mitsuko Onda Osaka University of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Japan Japan has the fastest-ageing society in the world, with a population that is rapidly decreasing. As such, sufficient medical care for the elderly, and control of the associated costs, is an issue in Japan, and one that is shared by many countries. Therefore, there is an urgent need to build a sustainable, comprehensive system for resolving health- and welfare-related issues. For instance, better steps need to be taken to address medication-related problems that result from the use of multiple prescription medications (i.e. poly-pharmacies), in older individuals. In line with this situation, community pharmacies/pharmacists are expected to be a key component of community care. In Japan, there are approximately 58,000 pharmacies, with 55% of pharmacists working in community pharmacies. Recently, the government has launched a new policy, titled “Family pharmacist/pharmacy.� This policy requires active contributions from family pharmacists/pharmacies to strengthen medication safety, by enhancing patient information sharing with multidisciplinary (i.e. collaborative, team-approached) care, 24-hour home care support, and health promotion through self-medication support. To date, community pharmacies have been developed throughout Asia. However, the roles and activities of such enterprises can differ significantly by country. While their precise role is only beginning to be considered, the function of Japanese community pharmacies as a key component of community care will certainly increase in the coming years. As such, the current presentation aims to further explore the perspectives of community pharmacies. Keywords: community pharmacy, poly-pharmacies, self-medication

IM-IV-3 OPEX INITIATIVES FOR AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE DELIVERY Kaushik Desai Section Chair, Industrial & Marketing, FAPA; Hon. General Secretary, Indian Pharmaceutical Association & Pharma Consultant The global pharmaceutical sector is embarking on a transformational journey. The phenomenal growth of Pharmaceutical sector globally has offered both, exciting opportunities as well as challenges to the pharmaceutical industry. By 2020, the global pharmaceutical market is expected to be about $ 1.4 trillion, with E7 countries accounting for about 20% of sales. Emerging markets are likely to outgrow developed markets in the next decade. Many factors like rise in competition, drug price control, pressure from government, health care reforms, health insurance and ever expanding generic market has compelled pharmaceutical companies to look inward in the area of Operational Excellence. Operational Excellence philosophy has originated from Japanese automotive industry and then expanded to pharmaceutical industry by the beginning of this century. Since then OPEX has gained momentum and become a priority for both top management as well as workforce alike in pharmaceutical manufacturing in every part of the world. US FDA started pushing the industry to use innovative technologies like process analytical technology (PAT) for better process control leading to a new paradigm: Quality and productivity thereby paving way for OPEX. The latter has to be understood as the balanced management of cost, quality, and time while at the same time focusing on the customer needs. Continual improvement is the key to success of any OPEX initiative. Operational excellence is achieved by cross functional team from R&D, Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality Control and Quality Assurance with active support from top management. Various initiatives of OPEX focusing on lean practices like Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Total Quality Management (TQM), Just-in-Time (JIT) and Effective Management Systems (EMS) will be discussed in the deliberation. In conclusion, the OPEX initiatives are expected to be the corner stone of future operation strategies in fulfilling the objective of providing affordable medicines.

IM-IV-4 NANOMEDICINE AND ITS DRUG DELIVERY COMPLICATIONS AT SKIN AND PULMONARY INTERFACES Tin Wui Wong Universiti Teknologi MARA, Puncak Alam, Selangor, Malaysia Oral administration of drug is met with challenges associated with first pass metabolism due to harsh gastrointestinal pH and enzymatic conditions. Alternative routes of drug administration, such as skin and lung, have gained a widespread interest particularly when labile protein drugs are concerned or in delivery of therapeutics directly for the treatment of skin and pulmonary diseases. With reference to skin and pulmonary drug delivery, the use of nanomedicine is deemed favourable on the note that particles of nanogeometry can penetrate and permeate the mucosa/membrane more readily than the larger counterparts, and this promotes drug bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness. Nonetheless, the nanomedicine often does not perform to the expectation due to physiological/anatomical limitations or constraints imposed by the physicochemical attributes of the nanomedicine. This presentation aims to share the recent research findings of our laboratory where the latest active technology, namely microwave, is used as skin penetration enhancer to overcome the barrier property of stratum corneum, the uppermost layer of epidermis, in skin administration of drug packaged in the form of nanomedicine. The presentation will also highlight the complications of using polymeric nanoparticles in delivering drugs to lung macrophages, for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, as a function of polymer and carrier properties.

PE-IV-1 THE ART OF EDUCATING TO TRANSFORM PHARMACY PRACTICE Claire Anderson University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK These are challenging and exciting times for pharmacy and pharmacists. The global profession makes a broad and vital contribution to the health of patients and economic growth through roles in community, hospital, industrial and academic pharmacy. However, there are strong pressures on pharmacists to make deeper contributions to clinical practice and patient outcomes through improved knowledge, interprofessional team working and enhanced competencies based on local needs. These pressures originate from the profession raising its own aspirations via bodies like the WHO, the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) and initiatives such as the independent Commission on Education of Health, the changes to PharmD in India and Thailand and the introduction of clinical pharmacy in China. There are also external pressures originating from, increased patient life expectancy, increased chronic disease burdens, new classes of drug and therapeutic interventions, and cost saving initiatives that will be a feature of healthcare for many years to come. I will draw on the example of our integrated MPharm degree course at University of Nottingham. It is designed to prepare our students for careers that could span 40 years or more. Graduates will need to demonstrate their value to the patient and to the healthcare system as innovation, new business models and healthcare reforms challenge current modes of practice.

PE-IV-2 E-LEARNING IN PHARMACY EDUCATION – WHAT IS THE IMPACT? Vivian Lee The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong E-learning is a new pedagogy and growing area in pharmacy education. In a recent published meta-analysis, it confirmed the role of e-learning in pharmacy education. Among all the 459 published work in pharmacy education up to June 4 2013, only 17 studies had documented effectiveness outcomes using e-learning in pharmacy education. In this presentation, I would like to share with the audiences about my e-learning experience and its impact. I have started the first cross-disciplinary e-learning platform for medication safety (MELODY) and documented the impact of e-learning platform can improve knowledge and attitudes toward medication safety awareness among students. In addition, I have pioneered e-learning using micro-modules in the pharmacy curriculum in cardiology pharmacotherapy training of Hong Kong. It was shown that students welcomed micro-modules and their understanding of cardiology pharmacotherapy was enhanced. In my previous micro-module experience, students’ understanding of cardiology therapeutics increased from 41.9% to 67.4% (net increase: 25.5%) after the implementation of the micro-modules. Their attitude and awareness toward cardiology therapeutics increased from 27.9% to 76.7% (net increase: 48.8%) after the implementation of the micro-modules. Students’ interest in using e-learning platform for study increased from 39.5% to 62.7% (net increase: 23.2%) after the implementation of the micromodules. 83.8% of students found that micro modules were helpful in understanding cardiology pharmacology and therapeutics. Finally, 79.1% of students found that micromodules enhanced understanding and stimulate interest in classroom teaching. Keywords: pharmacy education, e-learning, impact

PE-IV-3 INTEGRATING TEACHING METHODS WITH A PHARMACY PRACTICE COURSE Chanuttha Ploylearmsang Faculty of Pharmacy, Mahasarakham University, Kamriang, Kantarawichai, Maha Sarakham Province, Thailand To achieve the desired learning outcomes in students and their improvement in knowledge, skills and attitude, the suitable teaching methods should be designed and used by the educator. The appropriate and efficient teaching methods should be selected in relation with the characteristics of the learners and the type of learning. Pharmacy education in Thailand, we are in the trend of encouraging students’ creativity and the 21st century skills, integrating and designing teaching methods to meet those learning outcomes are now the challenge issues for pharmacy educators. The main purpose of a pharmacy practice course is the integration of learning, we need our students be able to integrate their knowledge and skills into practice. Several teaching methods to enhance students’ active learning not only in the classroom but also in the practice settings have been used such as case-based learning, problem-based learning, activity-based learning, project-based learning, team-based learning, communitybased learning, and bedside teaching. From a survey of 200 pharmacy students, the most preferred method that provides their understanding on theory and knowledge is the lecture. For skills improvement, problem-based learning is a chosen method. For transforming attitude, the inter-professional education (IPE) is chosen the most. On student’s preference, the methods they preferred are the lecture and case-based learning. Concerning students’ benefit, the integrated learning is the chosen method. IPE and team-based learning are the methods that most of students have chosen as the suitable methods for the next generation in this transformative learning age. Keywords: teaching methods, students’ learning, knowledge, skills, practice

A-IV-3 SUPPORTING PATIENTS THROUGH THE USE OF IT AND ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS Sawaeng Watcharathanakij Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Ubon Ratchathani University, Thailand Information technology (IT) and electronic health records (EHRs) play a pivotal role in healthcare system development. IT can support delivery of medical services to patients in remote areas, improve health information exchange and increase patient safety and quality of care. Although EHRs are designed longitudinally to collect health information at individual level to improve clinical outcomes, EHRs can also support both organizational and societal outcomes by reducing costs and increasing the ability to conduct research. EHRs functionality includes clinical decision support (CDS) tools, computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems, and health information exchange (HIE). Even if EHRs were used in many public and private hospitals, with or without incentive and support from the government, EHRs adoption in community pharmacy sector, particularly in some developing countries, was at the initial stage. Consequently, knowledge and skills related to IT and EHRs are important for pharmacists to help implement IT and EHR system nationally and must be included in pharmacy curriculum. Moreover, pharmacists’ attitude towards EHRs adoption must be investigated thoroughly. Keywords: information technology, electronic health records, adoption, pharmacist

PP-IV-1 PHARMACOECONOMICS OF ROTAVIRUS VACCINE: FROM ACADEMIA TO NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION POLICY Arthorn Riewpaiboon Division of Social and Administrative Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand Due to the limited resources of healthcare, the efficiency of public health management is crucial. Thus, the principles of economics are applied to health management, called Health Economics. Pharmacoeconomics is one of these applications to study the intervention by medications and pharmaceutical services. In Thailand, Pharmacoeconomics has been added in the curriculum of undergraduate degree (Pharm D) and graduate degree (Social and Administrative Pharmacy). In addition to academic responsibility, social service is one of the responsibilities of universities. For example, the case study of “rotavirus vaccine� which was registered in Thailand in 2008 for the prevention of rotavirus diarrhea. WHO has recommended incorporating this vaccine into the national immunization program (NIP) since 2013. In order to include a vaccine in the NIP, the economic data is one of the factors. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Ministry of Public Heath of Thailand has asked the Faculty of Pharmacy, Mahidol University to conduct the economic study of this vaccine using modeling technique. We discovered that the vaccine was not cost-effective. However, break-even price from the analysis was negotiated, then, a pilot study was implemented. The faculty also involved this pilot project on economic assessment. This study was assigned as a part of a PhD thesis. Currently, the study results have been submitted to further steps of the national immunization policy. In conclusion, this case study has shown the important roles of the university on human resource and academic development which in turn, providing the efficient and quality health service to public. Keywords: academia, university, national health policy, pharmacoeconomics, rotavirus, vaccine

PP-IV-2 THE ROLE OF PHARMACOECONOMIC & PHARMACOEPIMDEMIOLOGY IN INFORMING MALAYSIA DECISION MAKERS Asrul Akmal Shafie School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia As pharmacist move from behind the counter to a more public position, its role and service has significantly change - from a manual and mundane role as compounder, to one in a decision making role. In this new role, accurate information on the prevailing value, effect at the population level and how the society use pharmaceutical product and service are critical to make informed decision on prioritization of scarce health resources. Pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacoeconomic are two disciplines that frequently used to provide this information. Pharmacoepidemiology, a study on the effect of drugs on large population allow us to gain insight into the distribution and determinant of that effect at population level. Pharmacoeconomic, a study on how to make a choice in a limited resources environment allow us to gain insight into the value of each decision. In this symposium, I will first discuss what usually the scope of both disciplines are. Then, I will discuss how pharmacoepidemiology methods were used to estimate and compare the drug utilization rate in Malaysia with the global rate. This will be followed by discussion on how the cost effectiveness of Respiratory Medication Therapy Adherence Clinic, an enhanced pharmacy service in Malaysia, was evaluated. Finally, I will discuss the challenge in their application and how this can be improved. Keywords: pharmacoeconomic, pharmacoepidemiology, Malaysia

PP-IV-3 CERVICAL CANCER TREATMENT COSTS AND COSTEFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS OF HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS VACCINATION IN VIETNAM: A PRIME MODELING STUDY Tuyet My Thi Nguyen Hanoi School of Public Health, Vietnam Background: Cervical cancer is currently the leading cause of cancer mortality among women in South Vietnam and the second leading cause of cancer mortality in North Vietnam. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has the potential to substantially decrease this burden. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that a cost-effectiveness analysis of HPV vaccination is conducted before nationwide introduction. Objective: The study aims to perform a cost-effectiveness analysis of HPV vaccine introduction in Vietnam. Methods: The Papillomavirus Rapid Interface for Modeling and Economics (PRIME) model was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of HPV vaccine introduction. A costing study based on expert panel discussions, interviews and hospital case note reviews was conducted to explore the cost of cervical cancer care. Results: The cost of cervical cancer treatment ranged from US$368 – 11400 depending on the type of hospital and treatment involved. Under Gavi-negotiated prices of US$4.55, HPV vaccination is likely to be very cost-effective with an incremental cost per DALY averted in the range US$18 – 1100. However, under list prices for Cervarix and Gardasil in Vietnam, the incremental cost per DALY averted for HPV vaccination can exceed US$8000. Conclusion: While there is no accepted cost-effectiveness threshold for Vietnam, HPV vaccine introduction appears to be economically attractive only if Vietnam is able to procure the vaccine at Gavi prices. This highlights the importance of initiating a nationwide vaccination programme while such prices are still available. Keywords: cost-effectiveness analysis, cervical cancer, Vietnam, PRIME

RE-IV-3 EVOLUTION OF PHARMACIST ROLES AND CHALLENGES IN TAIWAN Weng-Foung Huang National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan This presentation elaborates the changing policies and roles that affect the pharmacy profession in Taiwan over the past two decades. Challenges as the result of such policies will also be discussed. First, the implementation of the National Health Insurance (NHI) in 1995 resulted in the reimbursement-oriented practices of health care in Taiwan. The mandatory separation policy was followed in 1996, two years after the effectiveness of NHI. Physicians can only dispense their own prescriptions in medical emergency situation. Finally, the 2007 Amendment of the Pharmacists Act introduced the pharmaceutical cares that transferred the pharmacy practice from product-oriented to service-oriented. During the past decade, pharmacy education in Taiwan evolved from the four years programs to a six years Pharmacy Doctor program. Though there are some four-year pharmacy schools continued and their graduate are eligible to take the national board examination. Clinical pharmacy oriented PharmD graduates definitely are more competitive as an active contributive member of health care team. When most of the health care professionals suffered stagnation of payroll over the past two decades, the pharmacist enjoyed nearly zero unemployment rate and formidable pay scale. The challenges to pharmacist in Taiwan includes: complete separation policy is still far from reality as the prescription releasing rates remained low, it has been constrained as the releasing of prescription to community pharmacies tremendously affect drug-derived revenue among NHI contract medical institutes. The introduction of tax-based long term care program is another major challenge to pharmacist in the rapidly aging society of Taiwan. Keywords: pharmacy policy, pharmacist role, challenges

However, despite broad range of bioactivities, exploitation of these electrophilic compounds as key pharmacophore, in synthetic side, seems to be at its infancy. Thus, herein reports a mild synthetic preparation of functionalized 2-cyclopentenone derivatives via basecatalyzed aldol condensation of benzils with aliphatic 2-alkanones at room temperature. Structural characterizations of the corresponding 4-hydroxycycloalkenone derivatives were carried out using 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), (High resolutionelectrospray ionization mass spectrometry) HR-ESIMS, and IR spectroscopy. Antimicrobial, anti-proliferative and cytotoxic properties were measured using Rezasurin-based microtiter plate assay (REMA) and MTT colorimetric assays. Results indicate propitious cytotoxic and anti-infective properties of 3,4-diphenyl-2-cyclopentenone derivatives and furnished in fair to moderate yields (40-65%).

S-O-2 INHIBITION OF ANO1 CHLORIDE CHANNEL BY LUTEOLIN AND ITS CYTOTOXICITY TO PROSTATE CANCER CELL LINES David Ryu, Kunhi Ryu, Yohan Seo 1

College of Pharmacy, Yonsei Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Yonsei University, Incheon 406-840, Korea

Anoctamin 1 (ANO1), a calcium-activated chloride channel, highly amplified in prostate cancer, and downregulation of ANO1 expression and its functional activity is known to inhibit prostate cancer progression by reducing proliferation, migration and invasion. We performed a cell-based screening of natural products for the identification of ANO1 inhibitor. Screening of 300 selected natural products revealed that luteolin is a novel potent inhibitor of ANO1. Electrophysiological studies indicated that luteolin potently inhibited ANO1 chloride channel activity in a dose-dependent manner without significant effect on intracellular calcium signaling in FRT cells expressing ANO1. Luteolin showed significant inhibition of cell proliferation and migration in PC-3 cells expressing high levels of ANO1. In addition, luteolin not only inhibited ANO1 channel activity, but also decreased protein levels of ANO1 in PC-3 cells. Our results suggest that downregulation of ANO1 by luteolin may be a possible mechanism of anticancer effects of luteolin.

S-O-3 THE GASTROPROTECTIVE PROPERTY OF CENTELLA ASIATICA LINN. ETHANOLIC LEAF EXTRACT AND OMEPRAZOLE ON INDOMETHACIN-INDUCED ULCER IN MALE SPRAGUE-DAWLEY RATS Michelle Dalisay-Bartolome, Thryssa Johanna Cardenas, Joseph Rigo Atienza, Christopher Timothy Azarraga, John Karol R Cabredo, Alec Marion Callao, Gina Castro, Mary Grace E Angelo Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippiness Centella asiatica is an ethno-medicinal herb used for the management of central nervous system, skin, and gastrointestinal conditions. The leaf extract of Centella asiatica has been used to prevent the formation of scar tissue and to treat leprous. The present study aimed to compare the gastroprotective property of Centella asiatica leaf extract and omeprazole against indomethacin-induced ulcer in Sprague-Dawley rats. The leaf extract was initially prepared by percolation of air-dried, powdered leaves in ethyl alcohol and subsequently fractioned using hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate as solvents. High Performance Liquid Chromatography analysis showed that the ethyl acetate fraction contained the highest amount of asiaticoside, an active component associated with several pharmacological activities of Centella, thus, the ethyl acetate fraction was utilized in both subchronic and gastroprotective study. The organ weights manifested a slight increase but the plant extract did not manifest any toxicological side effects. The gastroprotective property of the ethyl acetate fraction at 250 and 500 mg/kg BW and Omeprazole at 20 mg/kg BW were assessed after pre-treatment with test agents for 21 days and induction of ulcers with single-dose indomethacin. The pH levels of Centella and Omeprazole were relatively higher compared to the control group and the lesion size of both groups were smaller and less distinctive as compared to the control group. Omeprazole had an ulcer with a shallower depth compared to the ulcers found in Centella. The findings showed that Centella leaf extract promotes gastroprotective activity as ascertained grossly and histopathologically compared to the control group.

The decoction of Ichnocarpus frutescens leaves has been used for a long time in Ayurveda for the treatment of diabetes. Experimentally, diabetes mellitus was induced in Wistar rats through i.p. injection of freshly prepared solution of streptozotocin (45 mg/kg). This was done 15 minutes after the administration of nicotinamide (120 mg/kg, ip). Glucose metabolism by the hepatocytes and adipocytes were also analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR mRNA expression levels of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1, GLUT2 in the hepatocytes, and GLUT4 in the adipocytes. The hemi-diaphragms were also isolated and processed to study the in-vitro peripheral glucose utilization. Results of the present investigation suggest that STZ-NA induced diabetes is associated with hyperglycemia, altered levels of PCK1 and GLUTs gene expression as well as decreased levels of insulin and c-peptide. On the other hand, the outcome of the daily oral administration of PPE to STZ-NA induced diabetic rats at different doses (150 and 300 mg/kg body weight) for 30 days supports our hypothesis by showing significant improvement of hyperglycaemia, glucose tolerance (IPGTT), insulin levels, c-peptide level, down-regulation of PCK1 and up-regulation of GLUT (2, 4) mRNA expression levels when compared to those of diabetic rats. Findings from this study demonstrate that PPE may enhances peripheral glucose uptake through glycogenesis pathway, mediated by up-regulation of GLUT2 and GLUT4, and down-regulation of PCK1. Our study suggests that the leaf of I. frutescens is a rich source of polyphenolic compounds, including those with an insulin sensitizing function that may have the potential role for treating diabetes mellitus.

ECa 233, the standardized extract of Centella asiatica, contains triterpenoid glycosides not less than 80%, with the ratio of madecassoside and asiaticosid at 1.5 Âą 0.5 : 1. In this study, we performed a pharmacokinetic comparison of madecassoside and asiaticoside following intravenous and oral administration of ECa 233 (100 mg containing 51 mg of madecassoside and 38 mg of asiaticoside) or equivalent dose of individual compound were investigated in rats. Blood, tissues, urine, and feces were collected after dosing to determine drug and metabolite levels using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The results revealed that the maximum concentration and absolute bioavailability of madecassoside following a dose of ECa 233 were higher than the corresponding values for a pure compound (Cmax 69,377.01 vs 45,643.28 Âľg/L, F 1.22 vs 0.58, p < 0.05). The elimination half-life and mean resident time of asiaticoside were significantly prolonged following the oral administration of ECa 233 (T1/2 7.61 vs 3.40 h, MRT 12.43 vs 5.49 h, p < 0.05). In tissue distribution studies, asiaticoside was more widely distributed to observed organs than madecassoside and displayed higher tissue to plasma ratio in the ECa 233 treated group. Regarding their metabolism, madecassoside and asiaticoside were hydrolysed to obtained aglycone, madecassic acid and asiatic acid and mainly excreted via the fecal route. Interestingly, we found bidirectional interconversion between asiaticoside and madecassoside resulting in an increased exposure of madecassoside and asiaticoside in ECa 233. The data obtain from this study is useful for developing ECa 233 as a future phytopharmaceutical product. Keywords: ECa 233, madecassoside, asiaticoside, pharmacokinetics

Department of Pharmacology and Physiology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand 2 Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand Pueraria mirifica is a medicinal plant which is promoted as a Champion Product by the Government of Thailand. Puerarin is the major bioactive component of this plant, but there is insufficient pharmacokinetic data regarding its pharmacodynamics activity. The present study aimed to determine the pharmacokinetics of puerarin including absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination to support investigation of its pharmacodynamics activities in rat. Female rats were administered intravenously 1 mg/kg or orally 5-20 mg/kg of puerarin. Blood, tissue, urine and feces were collected and analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The results showed that puerarin reaches its maximum concentration in the blood ranging from 40-230 Îźg/L rapidly within 1 hr after oral administration. Oral bioavailability of puerarin was approximately 7% and decreased with increasing doses. Puerarin was widely distributed in several tissues, including the hippocampus, heart, lung, stomach, liver, mammary gland, kidney, spleen, femoral bone, and tibia bone. Moreover, we found that glucuronide metabolites of puerarin were detected in the biological samples as major metabolites, and were mainly excreted via fecal route. Our experiments confirm that puerarin is widely distributed to pharmacological related organs especially in hippocampus, mammary gland and bone. This will be useful scientific information to develop Pueraria mirifica as a phytopharmaceutical product for the prevention and therapeutics of aging diseases.

S-O-7 DNA BARCODING OF MORINGA OLEIFERA LAM. [FAM. MORINGACEAE] AND ZINGIBER OFFICINALE ROSC. [FAM. ZINGIBERACEAE] PLANTS AND HERBAL PRODUCTS Nikki Francine D. Balde, Nikolai Thadeus Quinto Mappatao College of Pharmacy, University of the Philippines Manila The rise in popularity of herbal products has precipitated problems such as misidentification of medicinal plants and adulteration in herbal products. This study aims to barcode malunggay and luya, plants listed in the Philippine Pharmacopeia which are commonly manufactured and sold as herbal products in the Philippine market. The identity of commercially-sold malunggay and luya products were also confirmed using DNA barcoding techniques. Four markers namely rbcL, trnH-psbA, matK, and ITS were evaluated based on PCR success rate, sequence quality, and resolution power. ITS had a PCR success rate of 100% while matK had a PCR success rate of 9.09% for malunggay leaf. The trnH-psbA and rbcL regions were not successfully amplified. ITS produced good quality sequences bidirectionally, while matK produced a good quality forward sequence and a poor quality backward sequence. In the BLAST analysis, both ITS and matK markers were successful in identifying the samples up to species level, but ITS had a higher resolution power (8.8%) compared to matK (1.6%) for malunggay leaves based on the higher mean interspecies divergence from Moringa ovalifolia. Mean intraspecies divergence of sequences was determined using the best-fit substitution model for each plant, with 7.8% divergence between malunggay leaf and malunggay product, and 13.3% divergence between luya leaf and luya product. In conclusion, ITS can be used to barcode malunggay and luya for authenticating plant materials and confirming the identity of commercial herbal products.

Semi-synthetic andrographolide analogue 3A.1 (19-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl-8,17-epoxy andrographolide) is a C-19 substituted andrographolide which is the major compound from Andrographis Paniculata Nees (Acanthaceae). Previously, this analogue has been reported to be highly cytotoxic against several cancer cell lines. However, the pharmaceutical application of this compound was limited due to its poor water solubility. Therefore, the present study was aimed to increase aqueous solubility of 3A.1 by using chitosan base polymeric micelles. In addition, the influence of the physical entrapment methods, type of amphiphilic chitosan derivatives, amount of 3A.1 on entrapment efficiency, loading capacity, particle size, zeta potential and stability of 3A.1-loaded polymeric micelles were evaluated. The three types of amphiphilic chitosan, namely N-benzyl-N,O-succinyl chitosan (BSCS), N-octyl-N-O-succinyl chitosan (OSCS) and N-naphthyl-N,O-succinyl chitosan (NSCS) were synthesized and then, they were used for micelles formation. 3A.1 (0-40% weigh to polymer) was loaded into the micelles using different entrapment methods, including dialysis, O/W emulsion, dropping and evaporation method. The results revealed that 3A.1 was incorporated into the inner core of polymeric micelles and show potential for improving of solubility of 3A.1. The hydrophobic part (benzyl, octhyl and napthyl) of polymer affected the entrapment efficiency. 3A.1-loaded NSCS micelles prepared by dropping method showed the highest entrapment efficiency and loading capacity. Increasing the initial amounts of 3A.1 resulted in the increase in particle size. The different entrapment methods also affected the particle size. The micelles ranged in size from 78-309 nm with negatively charge. Therefore, these NSCS micelles have promising potential as 3A.1 delivery systems.

Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins isolated from Mirabilis jalapa L. leaves (RIP MJ) has cytotoxic effect on breast cancer cell line (T47D) but less toxic on normal cells (Vero). However, proteins including RIP MJ have problem on the stability, it easily be degraded following administration. Therefore, RIP MJ need to be formulated into nanoparticles to increase its stability, since nanoparticle found to have capabilityon delivering, maintaining the integrity, and conserving the function of protein during therapy process. In this study, nanoparticle chitosan-alginate RIP MJ was designed and determined the cytotoxic effects against breast cancer cell line (T47D) and normal cells line (Vero). The cells uptake assay was carried out using chitosan-alginate BSA-FITC nanoparticle formula. Results indicated that formulated chitosan-alginate of RIP MJ could increase the cytotoxic effect of unformulated RIP MJ. In addition, chitosan-alginat RIP MJ nanoparticle had more cyotoxicity against breast cancer (T47D) than normal (Vero) cell lines. These results were supported by the cells uptake assay.

Capsaicin (CAP) is a major pungent component and hydrophobic compound that has been widely used in both oral and topical for pain relief. However, the strong pungency and the water insoluble of CAP lead to its limitation in the design and development of CAP for drug delivery system. The aim of this study was to design and develop the nanocarriers for transdermal delivery of capsaicin. The optimal nanocarriers (liposomes, transfersomes, invasomes) were defined as a nanocarriers system with simultaneously high entrapment efficiency and high skin permeability. The model formulations of nanocarriers obtained from the experimental design. The lipid compositions and the physicochemical characteristics of the nanocarriers formulations were determined as causal factors (Xn) and response variables (Yn), respectively. The physicochemical characteristics, i.e., the vesicle size (Y1), size distribution (Y2), charge (Y3), entrapment efficiency (Y4) and skin permeability (Y5), of the nano-carriers formulations were examined. The relationship between the causal factors and the response variables was used to predict the optimal nanocarriers formulation using Design ExpertÂŽ program. The results indicated that the vesicle size of nanocarriers formulations containing 0.15% capsaicin were smaller than 200 nm, narrow size distribution (less than 0.3) and had negative zeta potential value (less than -2 to -20 mV). The skin permeability of transfersomes and invasomes was significantly higher than liposomes and commercial product. The nanocarriers formulation (transfersomes and invasomes) composed of the surfactant and terpene was successfully developed as a transdermal delivery carrier for CAP.

This study investigated the fabrication of herbal oil-incorporated PVP/ HPβCD nanofiber mats with antifungal activity for the oral candidiasis. Betel oil or clove oil (20–40% weight to polymers) was added to the polymer solution containing various amount of HPβCD, and the mixtures were stirred overnight to allow the oil incorporate into the HPβCD. The betel oil or clove oil-loaded nanofiber mats were fabricated via electrospinning process and characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and mechanical testing. The nanofiber mats were further investigated for release characteristic, antifungal activity, and cytotoxicity. The nanofiber mats had a smooth surface without bead. Increasing the amounts of HPβCD resulted in the increase in diameters of the nanofiber mats. The incorporation of the herbal oils into the nanofiber mats reduced the fiber diameters. The DSC and FT-IR results verified the presence of the oil in the nanofiber mats. A rapid release of the herbal oils from the nanofibers mat was achieved. The herbal oil loaded mats could inhibit the growth of candida cells within only few minutes after contact. Further in vivo studies are needed to investigate for their application in oral candidiasis.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a hollow microneedle device in delivery of cationic niosomes complexed with plasmid DNA encoding ovalbumin (pOVA) into mice for enhance vaccine immunogenicity by targeted delivery to skin. In addition, we evaluate the factors affecting the transfection efficiency and cell viability of cationic niosomes including type of central core structures in cationic lipids (di(oxyethyl)amino, di(oxyethyl)amino carboxy, 3amino-1,2-dioxypropyl and 2-amino-1,3-dioxypropyl), molar ratio of cationic lipids in formulations (0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2), weight ratios of cationic vesicles to pDNA (0.1, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5 and 10) in human cervical carcinoma cell line (HeLa cells) using pDNA encoding green fluorescent protein (pEGFP-C2). These effects were evaluated to compare with LipofectamineTM 3000 as a positive control. In this study, cationic niosomes formulated with Span 20, cholesterol and novel synthesized spermine-based cationic lipids with four different central core structures were examined as gene carriers. Cationic niosomes composed of Span20:cholesterol:di(oxyethyl)amino in the molar ratio of 2.5:2.5:0.5 mM at weight ratio 2.5 showed high transfection efficiency. We observed no significant difference in the transfection efficiency between cationic niosomes and LipofectamineTM 3000. The serum IgG levels of mice using hollow microneedle that received cationic niosomes formulation (2.5:2.5:0.5 mM)/pOVA at the weight ratio of 2.5:1 were significantly higher than received LipofectamineTM 3000/pOVA. Additionally, hollow microneedle vaccination in the skin was superior to subcutaneous immunization in higher of IgG levels in mice. Accordingly, the use of a hollow microneedle to deliver cationic niosomes-based pDNA has great potential in skin vaccination.

S-O-13 VISUALIZATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF BINDER DISTRIBUTION IN GRANULES USING NEAR-INFRARED CHEMICAL IMAGING Pattaraporn Mongpraneet, Nattawut Charoenthai, Waree Limwikrant, Satit Puttipipatkhachorn Department of Manufacturing Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand Binder distribution is one of important factors that affect the properties of granules and tablets prepared by wet granulation. The aim of this study was to use near-infrared chemical imaging (NIR-CI) to visualize the binder distribution in granules prepared by high shear speed mixer. Loratadine was used as model drug. Two types of binders, i.e. polyvinyl pyrrolidone K30 (PVP K30) and pregelatinized starch, were used and incorporated by two different methods, i.e. dry addition and wet addition. The process variables (mixing time and method of binder addition) and formulation variables (type and amount of binder) were optimized using the design of experiment. NIR-CI integrated with chemometric algorithms such as principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square regression-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was used. The mixing index to assess homogeneity of binder distribution was evaluated by macropixel analysis and histograms of chemical image. The results indicated that different types of binder had no significant effect on the binder distribution in granules. The wet addition method gave the granules with higher binder homogeneity than the dry addition method and the binder distribution was more homogeneous with increasing of mixing time. The wet addition method and longer mixing time gave the tablets with higher hardness and longer disintegration time. In conclusion, more homogeneity of binder distribution was thought to be closely related to the increase in hardness and disintegration time of tablets. Keywords: NIR-chemical imaging, binder, high shear granulation, loratadine

Gamavuton-0 (GVT-0), 1,5-bis(4’-hydroxy-3’-metoxiphenyl)-1,4-pentadien-3-one, is a curcumin analogue synthesized by a carbonyl group and a methylene reduction of Curcumin. GVT-0 has been studied to possess anti arthritic effect through inflammatory attenuation and arthritis index reduction, cartilage destruction inhibition, and suppression on inflammatory cytokines Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF- α) and Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) tissue expressions in vivo on rat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) model. As a promising anti RA agent, GVT-0 burdens low water solubility therefore poorly absorbed in oral administration. In current research, a self-nanoemulsifying system has been developed to formulate GVT-0 into a more effective oral anti RA candidate using various oils and surfactants. A formula of myritol with surfactant combination of cremophore and Tween 20 and Proplylene glycol as co-surfactant showed a reliable system for 220.27 mg GVT-0 per 5 mL system, was able to form a clear emulsion in artificial gastric and intestinal fluid in less than a minute with a homogenous droplets of 98.8 nm in average, and kept stable for 90 days room temperature storage. In vivo study on rat RA model showed an improved inhibition of cartilage destruction of GVT-0 self nano-emulsifying system compared to GVT-0 without formulation. These results indicate a potential further development of the system to become a candidate for oral delivery of an anti RA drug.

The objective of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic model for continuous infusion of vancomycin in critically ill patients receiving CVVH. A population pharmacokinetic model was developed using standard twostage Bayesian population analysis (MW/Pharm version 3.82) from a total of 535 plasma observations in 69 patients. This study utilized retrospective data from January 2011 until December 2014 from patients admitted at the ICU of the Unversity Medical Center Groningen, the Netherlands treated with continuous infusion of vancomycin and receiving CVVH. Metabolic clearance of vancomycin was fixed at a literature value of 0.2147 ± 0.0738L/h/1.85m2. Serum creatinine concentration was used to calculate a surrogate creatinine clearance comprising renal clearance plus extracorporeal clearance. The model was internally validated using bootstrap analysis (250 replications). The ratio of the renal plus extracorporeal clearance to the surrogate creatinine clearance was 0.1931±0.2777. The central volume of distribution was 0.3697±0.4051L/kg. The peripheral volume of distribution was 1.2921±1.2934L/kg. The inter-compartmental clearance was 4.5666±3.4141L/h/1.85m2. The extraction ratio was 0.1425 ± 0.1180. Bootstrap analysis demonstrated that the model was valid. Population pharmacokinetic model for continuous infusion of vancomycin in critically ill patients receiving CVVH has been developed and was internally validated using an estimated creatinine clearance as surrogate for the sum of the patients’ own clearance and the clearance by CVVH. This model can be used to optimize continuous infusion of vancomycin therapy in critically ill patients receiving CVVH.

The emergence of resistant gram negative bacteria (MDR-GNB) is occurred, endangering the efficacy of available antimicrobial agents, as well as a lack of new active drugs. To propose an optimized pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) antibiogram for determination of the optimal empirical antibiotic therapies against multidrug resistance MDR-GNB, MDR A.baumannii, MDR P.aeruginosa and ESBL producing Enterobacteriaceae, especially, intermediate resistant strain. This cross-sectional study was conducted to develop a PK/PD antibiogram from bacterial isolates of hospitalized patients at Ratchaburi hospital, Thailand, during October 2014 through September 2015. High resistance rates were observed among 8,075 isolates. Clinically standard regimen of cefepime, imipenem, and piperacillin/tazobactam were not able to cover intermediate resistant strain. Based on PK/PD optimized regimens of the selected antimicrobial agents in comparable to the standard regimens. Percentages of the isolates inhibited by the optimized PK/PD dosing regimens (%Spk/pd) versus by the standard regimens (%S) for MDR A.baumannii, were 20% vs 10%, 1% vs 0%, and 1% vs 0%, for cefepime, piperacillin/tazobactam and imipenem respectively. The %Spk/pd versus %S for MDR P. aeruginosa were 49% vs 46%, 63% vs 39%, and 9% vs 3%, for cefipime, piperacillin/tazobactam and imipenem respectively and for ESBL producing Enterobacteriaceae were 36% vs 9% and 97% vs 96% for cefipime and imipenem respectively. The optimized PK/PD antibiogram should be conducted for clinical decision support of antimicrobial regimen selection as an empirically use against MDR-GNB infections. Further studies are needed to conduct a combination antibiogram to expand spectrum of antimicrobial regimen against MDR-GNB.

H-O-3 USING E CODES AS A TOOL TO IDENTIFY UNDER-REPORTING OF ADVERSE DRUG EVENTS Tzu-Yu Lin, Chi-Yuan Cheng, Chi-Hua Chen, Shin-Tarng Deng Department of Clinical Pharmacy Service, Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taoyuan, Taiwan Objectives: External injury cause of injury codes (E codes) is a part of the ICD-9 -CM codes. Among them, E930*–E949* describe the drug class that possible external cause of adverse effects in therapeutic use. The objective of this study was to determine the validity and effectiveness of E codes in identifying adverse drug events (ADEs). Methods: We established the E Codes Surveillance System (ECSS) to detect E930*–E949* regarding discharged patients during Jan 2015 to Dec 2015. Those cases were screened by clinical pharmacists. If the ADEs were uncertain or with severity needed to be warned or avoided, the cases would be further assigned to other independent clinical pharmacists to evaluate. If an ADE was confirmed and the culprit drug(s) must be avoided next time, clinical pharmacists would report it to the ADE Reporting System on line and then the culprit drug(s) would be encoded to the Drug Allergy & ADEs Alarming System automatically in our hospital. Results: There were 506 ADEs detected by the ECSS. Among them, 58 ADEs had already been encoded before screening, and 239 ADEs were confirmed by clinical pharmacists’ evaluation. Finally, 115 ADEs were reported to the ADE Reporting System. The positive predictive value (PPV) in detecting true ADEs through the ECSS was 58.7% (297/506). Conclusion: E codes method provided an acceptable PPV to detect ADEs. This method is also an effective tool to find out under-reporting of ADEs. Pharmacists play an important role to interpret the result of ADEs by the ECSS. Keywords: adverse drug event, E codes, pharmacist

Continuous long-term treatment of schizophrenia with antipsychotic medications needs effective management for symptom control. Objective: To develop and assess the pharmacy mental status examination (PMSE) for Thai pharmacists to monitor the clinical response in schizophrenic patients. The PMSE was constructed based on mental status examination Thai version (MSE-T) and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale Thai version (PANSS-T). The reliability and validity were assessed by three experienced psychiatrists and two experienced pharmacists. Forty-eight patients with schizophrenia from Suan Prung Psychiatric Hospital, Chiang Mai, Thailand were enrolled in the study during July to August, 2015. The MSE-T was carefully screened by three experienced psychiatrists and 4 from 15 items which were consciousness, attention & concentration, memory, and judgment were excluded as they need specific skills and too much time. The content of the remaining 11 items showed good validity (IOC=0.67-1). General appearance and speech were deleted because of their very low corrected item-total correlation (0.159 and 0.144, respectively) resulted in increasing internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.853). Concurrent validity was a strong, positive correlation between the PMSE and MSE-T, which was statistically significant (rs (34) = 0.963, p < 0 .001). The inter-rater reliability for test of agreement between one psychiatrist and one pharmacist using the PMSE in the same time was very good {Kw = 0.976 (p < 0 .001)}. The PMSE is a very promising tool for Thai pharmacists in monitoring the clinical response of antipsychotic medications in patients with schizophrenia due to its good validity and reliability.

Background and objectives: Beers Criteria are the most common tools for evaluating appropriateness of prescriptions. However, the great majority of studies using Beers Criteria were small-scale studies and the judgement of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) proceeded manually. Some studies only adopted parts of Beers Criteria to evaluate PIMs and the results were diverse. Above-mentioned phenomena may be due to unstructured, narrative format of Beers Criteria and ambiguous recommendations. The objectives of the study were to establish a multidimensional approach analytical framework in order to analyze the computer interpretability of the 2015 American Geriatrics Society (AGS) Beers Criteria and to apply the framework to the large-scale datasets. Methods: In the first part of the study, a multidimensional framework was established to scrutinize each item of Beers Criteria. The second part of the study was designed as a retrospective study. The framework was applied to the datasets of National Health Insurance Research Database. Ambulatory care visits among patients ≼65 years of age in 2011 were identified from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000. The utilization of benzodiazepines and aspirin was detected via the multidimensional analytical framework. Results: Four dimensions and fourteen sub-dimensions were established from this study. In the retrospective study, 104,934 patients and 490,460 drugs of items were identified. The detected PIMs and detection rates decreased when related dimensions were considered. Conclusion: The innovative framework could evaluate the computer interpretability of AGS Beers Criteria, facilitate the application to large-scale claims analysis and the integration of Beers Criteria into the system of clinical decision support system.

Adriano, Raileen Bernadette N. Cortez, Ariane Marie G. Bayro College of Pharmacy, Adamson Univerisity, Manila, Philippines Over the years, the role of the pharmacists has progressively changed from a mere dispenser towards more involvement in patient care. Clinical pharmacists (CPs) practicing in the emergency department (ED) is relatively uncommon due to the unique and complex nature of the ED setting. Thus, this study aimed to determine the perception, expectation, and attitude of healthcare providers towards the role of clinical pharmacist in the ED. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 63.33% response. Descriptive statistics was used to present results. The healthcare providers in ED were very receptive regarding the new services provided by the CPs. The healthcare providers perceived that CPs is an integral part of the ED when it comes to patient counseling because CPs are believed to possess adequate skills to appropriately explain the medication regimen of the patient. The healthcare staff perceives the CPs’ to be more knowledgeable with regards to medications thus their role in reviewing medications before administration prevents prescription errors. Considering the nature of the ED, the role of the CPs is of great significance for the improvement of the quality care of the patients, wherein the healthcare providers have high expectations towards the roles of the clinical pharmacist. Majority of the medical and nursing staff in ED expect the CPs to maintain complete medication history of patients and medication reconciliation. It would be of great help for the healthcare providers in improving the patient’s safety with the participation of the CPs in ED thus the results of this study showed that Keywords: clinical pharmacy, emergency department, knowledge, attitude, perception

H-O-9 PREVALENCE OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE DEFINED BY USING CKD-EPI EQUATION AND ALBUMIN-TO-CREATININE RATIO IN THE KOREAN ADULT POPULATION Yucheol Lim, Eunhee Ji Faculty of Pharmacy, Gachon University, Incheon Korea An updated chronic kidney disease (CKD) definition and classification were proposed by Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO), with adoption of a new equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and albuminuria to evaluate kidney structural damage. This study was performed to estimate the prevalence of CKD in the Korean adult population as defined and classified by the KDIGO guidelines. Cross-sectional samples of the fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 2011 to 2012 were examined for adults aged ≥19 years. CKD prevalence was determined based on decreased GFR and albuminuria. The GFR was estimated using the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine equation, and albuminuria was evaluated using the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) in spot urine. Of the 16,576 subjects participating in the survey, 10,636 (4,758 men, 5,878 women) were included in the present study. The prevalence of CKD was estimated as 7.9% (7.8% in 2011 and 8.0% in 2012, p=0.770). The prevalence of low, moderately increased, high, and very high CKD risk prognosis was 92.0%, 6.3%, 1.1%, and 0.6%, respectively. The prevalence of albuminuria (ACR ≥30 mg/g) in individuals with GFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 has reached 5.7%. The odds ratios of hypertension and diabetes to CKD were 3.4 and 3.1 in men, and 2.9 and 2.0 in women (all p=0.0001), respectively. A large percentage of CKD patients had albuminuria prior to a decrease in GFR. Regular laboratory tests for albuminuria for the high-risk group, and especially for hypertensive or diabetic patients, might improve detection of CKD at an early stage.

Ramirez, Judy Mae Mea, Marth Aljohn V. Ona, Rochelle Victoria Monterozo, Danica Mae R. Melencio, Renz Kenneth Cadiang, Agnes Castillo Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Santo Tomas, Espaùa, Manila 1008, Philippines Durio zibethinus L. (Malvaceae), known as durian in the Philippines, is an evergreen tropical tree found vastly in regions of Mindanao and Sulu. One-fourth of the fruits’ mass is seeds, which are usually discarded. This study aimed to determine the binding efficacy of extracted Puyat variety of durian seed gum in Paracetamol tablet formulation. Durian seed gum was extracted and characterized in terms of its physicochemical properties. Acute oral toxicity study was performed. Differential Scanning Calorimeter was used to test the compatibility of durian seed gum with Paracetamol and its excipients. Different batches of Paracetamol tablet was formulated using durian seed gum, PVP K-30, acacia, and corn starch as binder. Physical evaluation was done on the Paracetamol granules and comparative analysis to show the effectiveness of durian seed gum in contrast with standard binders. Also, the Paracetamol granules were evaluated through quality control tests such as hardness, friability, disintegration, and dissolution tests. The result of the study showed that durian seed gum possesses good physicochemical properties. It is nontoxic and compatible with Paracetamol and its excipient. The formulation containing 9%w/w of unheated durian seed gum as binder showed good binding efficacy with a friability of 0.74%. It displayed the highest dissolution rate (101.3%). The results suggest that it can be used as binder in immediate-released tablets. Whereas, 9%w/w heated durian seed gum exhibited highest binding efficacy with a friability of 0.15% and a hardness of 184.87N.

IM-O-2 AN EXPLORATORY STUDY ON THE APPLICATION OF DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS (DOE) IN THE ASSESSMENT OF THE STABILITY OF AMOXICILLIN CAPSULES Theresa Camille S. Tobillo, Tammy Anne B. Aguilar, Myrnel D. Almoradie, Bryan Paul I. Bulatao Department of Industrial Pharmacy, College of Pharmacy, University of the Philippines Manila, Ermita Manila 1000 Philippines Design of Experiments (DoE), a component of Quality by Design (QbD), is a systematic method for determining the relationship between critical factors and critical attributes of a product to ensure consistent quality. Although QbD has found wide utility in pharmaceutical development, it is yet to be applied in the drug distribution system, where drug degradation is most likely to occur. A common antibiotic sensitive to temperature and relative humidity (RH) is Amoxicillin. This study utilized DoE, specifically a 3-factor, 2-level full factorial design, to assess the impact of temperature, RH and time of storage on the % Amoxicillin content, which resulted to the generation of a design space. Factorial ANOVA revealed that of the main effects, temperature had the highest influence on % Amoxicillin, though it was not statistically significant. Meanwhile, the linear interactions of temperature-RH and temperature-time had statistically significant effects on % Amoxicillin. Contour and surface plots provided visualization of these linear interaction effects. Multiple linear regression was performed to generate an equation (adjusted R2 = 0.5305), which represented the design space. Coefficients derived were all negative, indicating that all factors had antagonistic effects on % Amoxicillin. Overall, this study demonstrated the application of QbD in the drug distribution system. To improve the predictability of the model, the time factor must be optimized by lengthening the exposure to at least 6 months. Further, increasing the number of levels to at least 3 would allow the examination of higher order interactions that would create a more holistic design space.

Since a couple of decades, we are witnessing a paradigm shift in the learning process i.e., the conventional black board teaching & learning system is gradually being taken over by the digitized teaching & learning system. This transition was neither expected even by the thinkers of the yester years yet the digital era has begun. Now-a-days, majority of the individuals have a smart phone, driven by a passion to get access to all the services available i.e., from “Entertainment to Education”. We made an attempt to understand the newer dynamics of digitized learning system through a survey. A survey was conducted by taking opinions from 25 members each (including young graduates, academicians, and researchers) from 50 countries across the continents. By analyzing the results, we found couple of key observations on the paradigm shift with respect to pharmacy education. 56% preferred a learning system with a right mix of blackboard teaching and digital technology, 32% preferred blackboard teaching, and rest 12% preferred digitized teaching & learning system. The virtual universities based on blackboard teaching and digital technology are on limelight as they have a scope to provide student-centered learning. The interesting features are - the lectures can be accessible at anytime and anywhere and not just confined to any classroom, the lectures are from renowned lecturers, customized syllabi, use of 3D technology for better understanding, assessment test, and global ranking. A virtual university learning in addition to the regular classroom learning could help students in metamorphosing themselves.

International Medical University, 126, Jalan Jalil Perkasa 19, Bukit Jalil, 57000, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 5 University of Strathclyde The high employability of pharmacy graduates across various sectors such as in the community pharmacies and hospital settings, the pharmaceutical industries and academia has lent credence to the versatility of their professional training. Therefore, the aim of this study was to gauge the perception of International Medical University (IMU) pharmacy graduates on the applicability and relevance of the chemistry knowledge and practical skills acquired from their professional education in their working place. The survey was designed based on the pharmacy curriculum of IMU. Qualitative and quantitative responses were collected and analysed by three independent investigators who were not the respondents, and not lecturing in any part of the Chemistry curriculum. The study was completed when the qualitative feedback from respondents reached saturation. Almost equal numbers of pharmacists from the different pharmacy disciplines: (1) industrial and regulatory, (2) hospital and clinical, (3) community and (4) academia, participated in this study. Most of the chemistry topics were rated as essential by the graduates. Some topics were rated very relevant (more than 80%) whereas only up to 30% of the graduates agreed on the essentiality of some topics to their profession. The study concluded that most of the current chemistry content is still essential in nurturing competent pharmacists for their respective disciplines. The outcomes of this study will be used as evidence to support the need for conducting a curriculum review, to better prepare graduates for their future employment.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex disease requires not only continuous medical treatment but also multifactorial risk reduction self-care activities performed principally by patients outside of clinic settings. Equipping patients with selfmanagement skills via structured education has pivotal role in managing T2DM, yet not consistently being provided in Malaysia. Hence, a localised type 2 diabetes self-management education (T2DSME) programme was developed. Insufficient description of theoretical framework and development process in educational interventions have been criticised as a possible reason in impeding replication and translation of research findings into practice. Objective: To illustrate the development of T2DSME programme. Methods: A 12member multidisciplinary healthcare team (i.e: pharmacist, diabetes nurse educator, dietitian, physiotherapist and medical doctor) was formed to develop programme materials. Based on empirical evidence available in Malaysia, Bandura’s self-efficacy theory was selected to underpin the development of programme modules. Mapped behaviour change techniques identified through literatures together with the four sources of self-efficacy outlined by Bandura were then used to translate the theory into actual teaching and learning activities in the programme. Results: A total of 5 modules (Living with diabetes, Healthy diet for T2DM, Be physically active, Know your medicines and Complications of T2DM) and a simplified graphicbased patient’s guidebook were developed by the team. These materials were designed to be delivered by the team, in 6-weekly intensive sessions (2.5 hours each), to foster patient’s uptake of the seven self-care behaviours specified by American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE). Conclusion: A T2DSME programme has been successfully developed and available for use. Evaluation work on the programme is currently in-progress. Keywords: diabetes, self-care, self-management, patient education

Background: Depression in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can lead to diabetic complications and other negative consequences. Therefore, identifying risks and early detection of depression in these patients are essential. Objective: To identify factors associated with depression in T2DM patients. Methods: The retrospective cohort of patients newly diagnosed with T2DM with ICD10 (E11) during January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2009 was followed up for 5 years or until diagnosed with depression. Patients diagnosed with depression before T2DM or on the same date as T2DM were excluded. ICD10 (F32-33) or receiving antidepressants at least 3 months or presenting signs and symptoms with validated depression screening tool from Department of Mental Health (Thailand) were used to identify patients with depression. Cox proportional hazards model with propensity score matching was used to identify factors associated with depression. Results: 1,460 newly diagnosed T2DM, 60.54% female and 54.76% aged between 50-70 years old, were identified with the incidence rate of depression of 14.83 per 1,000 person-years (95% CI = 12.25-17.96). After propensity score matching, hypertension (Hazard ratio = 1.90, 95% CI = 1.22-2.96, p=0.005) and oral antidiabetic agents (HR = 2.62, 95% CI = 1.27-5.39, p=0.009) were significant risk of depression. Surprisingly, older age diagnosed with T2DM were less likely to be diagnosed with depression (HR = 0.98, 95% CI = 0.97-0.99, p=0.033). Conclusions: T2DM patients diagnosed at younger age, with hypertension or receiving oral antidiabetic agents must be carefully monitored for depression.

S-P-1 THE EFFECT OF THE DECOCTION OF ANGELICA KEISKEI KOIDZUMI ON DIET-INDUCED METABOLIC SYNDROME IN SPRAGUE-DAWLEY RATS Melanie M. Castro Graduate School, Centro Escolar University, Manila, Philippines

Not so long ago, the plant Angelica keiskei Koidzumi (Ashitaba), was one of the herbs being sought by Filipinos for possible use in cancer, diabetes, hypertension and obesity. However, due to its paucity, a limited number of published scientific studies will cite the benefit of consuming its most common form of herbal preparation, the decoction of its fresh leaves and stalks. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of the decoction of Angelica keiskei Koidzumi on diet-induced metabolic syndrome in male SD rats. Phytochemical screening was performed to determine its bioactive constituents, followed by a biological study to determine its effect on diet-induced metabolic syndrome. After induction, each rat was assigned to any of the five groups (n=5/group): 100, 200 or 300 mg/kg BW bid of the decoction (by oral gavage); standard drugs Metformin 200 mg/kg bid and Simvastatin 100mg/kg BW (by oral gavage) ; and untreated group. The results revealed that the 200 mg/kg dose of A. keiskei Koidzumi and standard drugs caused significant reductions in the FBS of rats. This effect can be attributed to the presence of coumarins, flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, phytosterols and tannins which are believed to synergistically cause increased glucose uptake, resulting to reduced glucose levels. Conversely, no significant improvements were found in the lipids, Anthropometric indices, BMI, LDH and AST levels in all groups after treatment. It can be concluded that the 200 mg/ kg BW dose of A. keiskei Koidzumi decoction play a beneficial role in metabolic syndrome, particularly in the glycemic control.

Ongpoy College of Pharmacy, De La Salle Health Sciences Institute, Dasmarinas, Cavite, 4114 Objectives: To investigate the phytochemical contents and evaluate the antimicrobial property of Alocasia sanderiana Bull. against a large number of pathogens. Methods: To do this, Alocasia sanderiana Bull. was screened for qualitative phytochemical tests including thin layer chromatography. Aside from the crude extract from the Rotary evaporator, three fractions from the plant were prepared using methanol, dichloromethane (DCM) and hexane. The 4 solvent extracts were then evaluated for antimicrobial activity using disc diffusion method on 18 strains of organisms. Results: About this study, it was found out that triterpenes, tannins and saponins are present during phytochemical screening. Zones of inhibitions during the antimicrobial tests were observed but did not reach the desired zone for antimicrobial activity. The DCM fraction produced 4 mm zone against Proteus mirabilis, 3 mm for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 1 mm for Pectobacterium carotovorum and 1 mm for Candida albicans. The methanol fraction also produced a 1 mm zone against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Conclusion: The results show that Alocasia sanderiana Bull. leaf extracts contain polyphenolic compounds but this study shows that it exhibits non-active antimicrobial activity against the 18 strains that it was tested and may not be utilized as a potential antimicrobial drug for the said strains. Keywords: Alocasia sanderiana Bull, antimicrobial, phytochemical screening

S-P-4 EFFECT OF USING A COMBINATION OF SONOPHORESIS AND PEGYLATED LIPOSOMES WITH LIMONENE ON THE SKIN DEPOSITION OF HYDROPHILIC COMPOUND Worranan Rangsimawong, Praneet Opanasopit, Theerasak Rojanarata, Tanasait Ngawhirunpat Faculty of Pharmacy, Silpakorn University, Nakhon Pathom 73000 Thailand The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sonophoresis on the skin transport of sodium fluorescein (NaFI)-loaded liposomal formulation. In vitro skin penetration and deposition study were performed through porcine skin. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to visualize the penetration pathways. The results showed that low frequency sonophoresis (20 kHz) significantly increased the flux of NaFI solution, whereas it significantly decreased the flux of NaFI-loaded PEGylated liposomes with d-limonene (PL-LI). The NaFI-remaining in stratum corneum and epidermis and dermis in PL-LI with sonophoresis was lower than that in PL-LI without sonophoresis. CLSM images showed the fluorescence intensity of NaFI-loaded PL-LI was observed in the deeper skin depth and along the length of hair inside the skin, whereas in the skin with applied sonophoresis, the fluorescence intensity was detected only on the top of hair outside the skin. From SEM images, sonophoresis dislocated the corneocytes and reduced the deposition of PLLI around hair follicles. These results revealed that sonophoresis may partially plug hair follicle orifices and reduce percutaneous absorption through the follicular pathway.

S-P-5 EVALUATION OF ARENGA SACCHARIFERA LABILL (FAM. ARECACEAE) SEED GUM AS SUSPENDING AGENT IN CALCIUM CARBONATE ORAL SUSPENSION Ranelle Lou C. Dorado, Paulo Martin L. Mendoza, Shaina Mara M. Salvador College of Pharmacy, University of the Philippines Manila, Taft Avenue, Ermita, Manila 1000 The variability in the effectiveness, accessibility, abundance, and affordability of marketavailable suspending agents make the discovery of alternative suspending agents relevant. Arenga saccharifera, locally known as Kaong in the Philippines, contains galactomannan, a polysaccharide that occupies a large hydrodynamic volume in aqueous solution and affects the rheological behavior of solutions. A. saccharifera gum was extracted and isolated from the endosperm of mature A. saccharifera nuts. The lyophilized gum was used to formulate Calcium carbonate oral suspensions to compare its suspending property to that of Xanthan gum with Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), and Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Finished product quality control tests showed that suspensions made with A. saccharifera gum produces suspensions that have small particle sizes, deflocculated characteristics, exhibit pseudoplastic behavior, and produce sediments on storage but are readily redispersible when shaken. Furthermore, the optimal concentration for A. saccharifera gum as a suspending agent was found to be 0.75% w/v. In comparison with other suspending agents, Xanthan gum with MCC and PVP, A. saccharifera gum produced suspensions with sedimentation volume and particle size less than that of Xanthan gum and MCC but less than that of PVP.

Rice is the staple food rice processed products are usually consumed by the people of Indonesia. Changes of rice into the rice occur because gelatinize the starch granules contained in rice. When the raw starch put into cold water, the starch granules absorb water and swell. However, the amount of water absorbed only around 30% and Swellings were limited. This swelling occurs because the kinetic energy of the water is stronger than the force of attraction between molecules of starch granules, so that water can get into the grains of starch. Water absorption and swelling of the starch granules can be improved by raising the temperature (Shafwati, 2012). Rice including food easily damaged, so it is a suitable medium for the growth of pathogenic microorganisms that cause the rice is quickly stale and stinking. Most microbes are microbes mesophyll food destroyer, which grows either at room temperature or at room temperature. Mesophilic bacteria can live with the optimum temperature of 20-45 0 C. Microbial food and pathogen destroyer mesophyll commonly found in food is bacteria Bacillus cereus sporeforming, gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, gram-negative bacteria Salmonella and Escherichia coli. These bacteria can adapt to live and grow Keywords: microorganism, rice, MPN

In the Philippines wherein most sewage waters do not undergo treatment, the contamination of sewage with mercury can hardly be regulated nor contained. This is a significant issue because mercury is a persistent andbioaccumulative pollutant in the environment with well - documented neurotoxic effects on humans. Dental officesremain as the main source of all mercury pollution entering publicly- owned treatment works, mostly coming from amalgam removal or old fillings or removal of excess in new fillings. With this said, this study aimed to approximately determine how much mercury from a dental amalgam filling procedure enters the sewage. Rinse water samples were collected from a simulated amalgam filling procedure for Class II teeth models, and were subjected to Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy ( CVAAS). The percentage of mercury released in waste water relative to the total amount of simulated amalgam procedure was found to be 0.0003%. Several factors were effectively reduced to result in low variations among rinse water samples. It was found that sample variability due to amalgam surface area (p=0.096) and drying time (p=0.528) was effectively controlled to a low level.

S-P-11 EUPHORBIA HIRTA (EUPHORBIACEAE) DECOCTION ENHANCES COAGULATION IN SPRAGUE-DAWLEY RATS VIA EXTRINSIC PATHWAY Yrene S. Caringal, Angele A. Diaz, Christine Delight S. Ruz, Jovencio G. Apostol Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Santo Tomas, EspaĂąa, Manila, Philippines Euphorbia hirta (Euphorbiaceae), locally known as tawa-tawa, is traditionally utilized in the Philippines as treatment for dengue and its symptoms. The present study evaluated the blood coagulating effect of the aqueous solution (0.30 g/ml) of the lyophilized decoction of E. hirta whole plant in Sprague-Dawley rats induced with warfarin. Rats were grouped into four. Group A served as the control group. Warfarin (0.5 mg/kg) was induced for three days to Groups B, C, and D. For the next three days, Group B was treated with vitamin K (2.2 mg/kg) while Group C and D were treated with the lyophilized decoction of E. hirta at 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg respective doses. Plasma were collected before inducing warfarin, after warfarin was induced, and finally after treatment. These were screened for coagulation parameters, prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) which measure the activity of the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways of coagulation, respectively. Results showed that after the administration of E. hirta at both doses, PT had significantly decreased while no significant change was observed on PTT. Therefore, E. hirta has shown to exert its effect on the extrinsic pathway of coagulation. Furthermore, the blood coagulating action of E. hirta showed a comparable result with that of Vitamin K (p=0.097) in a non-dose dependent manner.

S-P-12 ABSORPTION PROFILE OF COENZYME Q10 FROM THE GUMMY PREPARATION Taiji Matsukawa,Yoshimi Haza, Satoshi Doi, Akinobu Kishi UHA Mikakuto Co., Ltd. 4-12, Kanzaki-cho, Chuo-ku, Osaka 540-0016 Japan Purpose: Coenzyme Q10 ( CoQ10) is widely used as a nutritional supplement in Western counties. Recently, not only soft gel and liquid preparations but the gummy preparation is increasingly prevalent. However, there is little information of absorption properties of CoQ10 from the gummy preparation. In this report, absorption properties of CoQ10 (reduced form) from gummy preparation were investigated and compared with other preparations. Methods: Twelve participants (aged 21 to 38, male: 6, female: 6) were enrolled in this study. The triple crossover design was employed as follows: participants took in 100 mg of CoQ10 from soft gel, liquid preparations or gummy preparations then CoQ10 concentrations in blood were measured at appropriate intervals. All procedures used in this research were approved by the Ethical Committee of Tana orthopedics, surgery hospital of incorporated medical institution Kaiseikai.Results: There was no significant differences in Cmax, Tmax and AUC010h between soft gel and liquid preparations. In gummy preparations, Cmax and AUC0- 10h of CoQ10 were higher than capsules. However, these differences were nonsignificant in statistically because of small sample size, the blood level of CoQ10 at 4 hours and AUC0- 6h after taken in the gummy preparations were significantly higher than those of soft gel as the AUC0-6h and absorption rate were evaluated to be 45% higher and two times higher. Conclusion: The gummy preparation of CoQ10 was found to be a useful preparation in absorption profile compared with soft gel and liquid preparations.

S-P-13 IN VITRO CHARACTERIZATION AND CYTOTOXICITY OF NIOSOME LOADED L-GLUTATHIONE Joshua H. Santos1, Oliver B. Villaflores2, Mary Jho-Anne T. Corpuz2 1

The Graduate School, University of Santo Tomas, Espana Blvd., 1015 Manila, Philippines 2 The Graduate School and College of Science, University of Santo Tomas, Espana Blvd., 1015 Manila, Philippines; Research Cluster for Natural and Applied Sciences, University of Santo Tomas, Espana Blvd., 1015 Manila, Philippines Glutathione, γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine, is one of the important thiol antioxidants in the body. It acts as antioxidant, biomarker for cell growth and death, and substrate for conjugation. However, low bioavailability of glutathione leads to therapeutic failure, thus, glutathione precursors are administered instead. The study aims to formulate and characterize niosomal glutathione, addressing its poor bioavailability. Niosomes was prepared through thin film hydration. The study encompassed three formulations having different molar ratio of Span 60 and cholesterol such as 1:1 (A), 3:2 (B) and 7:3 (C), respectively. The formulation having the highest entrapment efficiency was characterized in-vitro and was used as the basis for the new formulation containing the charge inducer. In vitro characterization shown that Formulation A ( 98. 2% + / - 0. 049% ) had significantly higher mean entrapment efficiency than the other formulations (p < 0 .001). The mean viscosity of Formulation A was 1.78cP. Niosomes formed were nearly spherical as revealed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with mean particle size of 308.8 µm. Glutathione was released in phosphate buffer saline pH 7.4 simulating the normal pH of blood. Release of glutathione was only detected at the third hour (1.122mg) of simulation. Differential Scanning Calorimetry showed no immediate and delayed interactions occurred between glutathione and the excipients. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy data suggested that the thiol group ( 2523. 90cm- 1) in glutathione did not have any interactions. Niosomes were non-cytotoxic against normal Human dermal Fibroblast (Invitrogen®). Based on the results, it showed the potential use of the niosomal preparation in the controlled delivery of glutathione and other low bioavailable drugs.

Objective: The objective of the present work was investigating the GC-MS analysis, preliminary phytochemical screening and hepatoprotective activity of methanol extract of the leaves of Terminalia coriacea. Material and methods: Group I served as vehicle control, Group II served CCL4 (2ml/kg, s.c.), Group III served as standard Silymarin (50 mg/kg, p.o.) Group IV and V served as methanolic extracts of Terminalia coriacea (METC) at the dose level (250 and 500 mg/kg, p.o.). The degree of protection was determined by measuring level biochemical marker like ALT, AST, ALP, Direct bilirubin, Total bilirubin and Cholesterol. The histopathology study also showed the hepatic protection of extracts. The GC-MS analysis and preliminary phytochemical screening was performed to find out the phytoconstituents responsible for the activity. Results: The marker biochemical level such as ALT, AST, ALP, Direct bilirubin, Total bilirubin and Cholesterol were significantly raised in CCL4 treated rats when compared with the normal group (p < 0 .05), but the METC (500 mg/kg, bw) treated rats exhibited maximum depletion. The histopathology study also showed the hepatic protection of extracts. The GC-MS analysis revealed that the methanol extract contained fourteen phytoconstituents. Preliminary phytochemical screening showed the presence of glycosides, flavonoids, Tannins, triterpenoids, carbohydrates and steroids. Conclusion:The results of in vivo hepatoprotective activity showed that the methanol extract of Terminalia coriacea exhibit significant hepatoprotective activity. This might be due to β - Sitosterol, Stigmasterol, 1H-Inden-1- one,2,3dihydro- 3,3,5,6,- tetramethyl, n- hexadecanoic acid, flavonoids and tannins; which was confirmed their presence in GC-MS analysis and phytochemical tests.

S-P-15 FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT AND IN VITRO EVALUATION OF BERBERINE-LOADED MONOOLEIN BASED LIQUID CRYSTALLINE NANOPARTICLES FOR TOPICAL DELIVERY Thiagarajan Madheswaran, Shadab Md, Kumar Shiva Gubbiyappa, Brandon Anak Jelek, Le Jun Tuen, Tiong Hwa Lim School of Pharmacy, International Medical University, 126, Jalan Jalil Perkasa 19, Bukit Jalil, 57000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Berberine ( BB) is an isoquinolin alkaloid and exhibit antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes. However, the efficacy of berberine is restricted by its poor solubility and low skin permeation that limits further progression and application of BB to treat local skin infection like acne. These obstacles can be surmounted by loading into suitable nanocarrier such as liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCN). Hence, the aim of the present study was to develop and characterize BB-loaded LCN and to evaluate its skin permeation. Nanoparticles were prepared by ultrasonication method and characterized for size, shape, stability, in vitro release, and skin permeation–retention properties. The particle size, zeta potential ranged from 139.3 to 188.2 nm and -25.5 to -34.7 mV, respectively. Transmission electron microscopical image of nanoparticles appeared as cubical shape and confirmed the formation of LCN. In vitro drug release study showed that there was no significant difference with nanoparticles prepared with different concentration of surfactant with respect to monoolein. LCN formulations presented enhanced the skin permeation and retention of BB in mice skin. Specifically, LCN prepared with cremophor surfactants showed 2.93 fold increase in skin permeation compared with control solutions. In conclusion, the results obtained from this study clearly suggest that monoolein-based liquid crystalline nanoparticles will be a potential carrier for the delivery of BB.

S-P-16 IN-VITRO ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDIABETIC AND FREE RADICAL SCAVENGING ACTIVITY OF THE LEAF EXTRACTS OF MANGIFERA INDICA (FAM. ANACARDIACEAE), SYZYGIUM CUMINI (FAM. MYRTACEAE) AND TERMINALIA EDULIS (FAM. COMBRETACEAE) Ferdinand Christian L. Soledad, Jose Gerardo S.T. Aquino, Ivan L. Lawag Faculty of Pharmacy, Adamson University, 900 San Marcelino St., Ermita, Manila 1000 Philippines Diabetes, chronic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose level or hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia induces production of free radicals by enhancing oxidant production, impairing antioxidant defenses by multiple interacting enzymes (eg. Increase oxidative glucose metabolism, increases mitochondrial production of superoxide anion that will then be converted to hydroxyl radical). This study correlated antidiabetic and antioxidant property of M.indica, S.cumini and T.edulis by in-vitro assay. Alpha-glucosidase inhibition was used to determine antidiabetic property since Alpha-glucosidase is one of key enzymes inhibited in controlling hyperglycemia in Type 2 diabetes; DPPH scavenging activity was used to determine the antioxidant activity because it is one of known stable free radical used in assays. Alpha-glucosidase inhibition was tested using EON ELISA reader; DPPH scavenging tested using spectrophotometer. All setups were found to be more potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitor than positive controls (N-deoxynojirimycin and Acarbose). Combination of M.indica 50%, S.cumini 25%, and T.edulis 25% yielded greatest alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity, however there was no observed synergistic activity. All other combination setups (E: M.i 25%, S.c 50%, T.e 25%; F: M.i 25%, S.c 25%, T.e 50%; G: M.i 33%, S.c 33%, T.e 33%) exhibited synergistic alphaglucosidase inhibitory activity. All setups was found to elicit DPPH radical scavenging activity but less potent than positive control (Ascorbic Acid). M.indica was found to be the most potent setup for DPPH radical scavenging activity yielding an IC50 of 67.37Âą1.03ug/mL.

( Daucus carota L. ) and tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L. ) are high potential source of antioxidant compounds such as phenolics and carotenoids. The compounds are known to be able to protect human body cells and tissues from free radical. Callus cell culture from organs of plants as explants can produce secondary metabolite as source of antioxidants. This study was aimed to determine the potency of antioxidant activity of callus developed from the plant organ of carrot (Daucus carota L.) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium used in this study was variated at sucrose concentration of 30 g / L and 40 g / L, whereas the variation of 2,4-D concentrations was (0, 1, 2, 4 and 8) ppm. The results showed that callus of the samples were able to grow at 5-7 days after planting from different part of organ plants. The callus was then sub cultured and extracted using etanol. The etanolic extracts of callus of carrot and tomato were measured on their antioxidants activity using DPPH method. The IC50 etanolic extract of carrot was 1751,29 Âą 4,00mg/mL while etanolic extract of tomato was 620,56 Âą 32,36mg/mL. Quersetin used as standard has IC50 value of 2,85mg/mL. Ethanolic extracts of carrot and tomato callus had lower antioxidant activity when compared to quercetin. It might be due to the callus have not produced secondary metabolite with the high antioxidant activity during the callus stage Keywords: antioxidant, callus, carrot, tomato

The amphiphilic chitosan derivertives (N-naphthyl-N,O-succinyl chitosan (NSCS), N-octyl-N,Osuccinyl chitosan ( OSCS) and N- benzyl- N,O- succinyl chitosan ( BSCS) ) were developed to prepare pH sensitive polymeric micelles. The amount of initial meloxicam (MX) (0-40%w/w to polymers) was entrapped by physical entrapment method (dialysis, dropping, O/W emulsion, co- solvent evaporation methods) . Effects of physical methods and hydrophobic moieties (naphthyl, octyl and benzyl groups) on entrapment efficiency were determined. MX-loaded micelles was characterized particle size and morphology by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. The stability of the MX-loaded micelles, drug release and porcine small intestine permeation were also investigated. The amphiphilic polymers were successfully synthesized and entrapped MX. MX-loaded micelles by co-solvent evaporation showed the highest entrapment efficiency. Among the hydrophobic cores, the Noctyl moiety revealed the highest MX entrapment efficiency and most stable MX- loaded micelles compared to the other hydrophobic cores. The particle size of all polymeric micelles had a tendency to increase with increasing initial MX to polymers and showed spherically shaped. The release behavior of MX from polymeric micelles in mimic gastrointestinal tract was found to be dependent on both hydrophobic cores and hydrophilic shells. MX-loaded OSCS polymeric micelles showed the lowest cumulative MX release in simulated gastric fluid medium. However, when the pH was increased to 6.8, the MX release significantly increased in all MX-loaded micelles. Moreover, the intestinal permeation rates of MX from all MX-loaded micelles were not significantly different. Therefore, OSCS micelle would be desirable to develop MX carrier for oral drug delivery.

The objective of this study was to characterize and optimize the microemulsion (ME) system for transdermal drug delivery of finasteride, the effective 5-alpha reductase enzyme inhibitor for treatment of androgenetic alopecia, by using a response surface method. The microemulsion formulation was composed of cinnamon oil as the oil phase, propylene glycol (PG) as the cosurfactant and reverse osmosis (RO) water as the water phase. The pseudoternary phase diagram of microemulsion with different surfactants, Emulgin®O5, SG-CG®700 and Tween®20, were plotted. The results showed that pseudoternary phase diagram of microemulsion system with the surfactant mixture of Tween®20 and PG in the ratio 3: 1 showed the biggest area of microemulsion, then this formulation was incorporated with 0. 1% of finasteride. The physicochemical properties i. e. particle size, size distribution, conductivity, pH and skin permeation flux, of finasteride- loaded ME were evaluated. The response surface and the optimal ME was determined using Design Expert® Software. The results showed that the formulation factor (Xn e.g. cinnamon oil, Tween®20, PG and RO water) significantly affected the physicochemical properties ( Yn) of model ME. Addition of 0. 1% finasteride did not significantly affect the physicochemical properties of model ME. This study indicated that our ME system had good tendency to use to deliver finasteride via transdermal route. Keywords: finasteride, microemulsion, response surface method

A study on a pilot-scale production of Phikud Navakot extracts was investigated. After drying, a semi- solid extract was obtained and named as NVKE0511. NVK- ES0511 was made by mixing NVK- E0511 extract with N- lokŽ carrier to increase flow properties before spray drying. The physical properties of herbal powder were examined. The morphology of NVK-ES0511 and carriers was studied by the scanning electron microscopy. The flow ability of powder was measured using a fixed base method. The hygroscopicity of powder was evaluated at room temperature and at condition of room temperature with 75 percent humidity. Comparing with its carrier, NVK-ES0511 structure was irregular with aggregation. The bulk density, tapped density and Carr’s compressibility index of NVK- ES0511 powder were 0. 3504 + 0. 0042 gm/ ml, 0. 4872 + 0. 0299 gm/ ml and 39, respectively. This type of particle shape could affect flow property of the powder. Thus, flow property of NVK- ES0511 was determined as poor ( angle of repose at 45. 59) . The hygroscopicity of both NVK-ES0511 powder and carrier at 75 percent humidity within 2 days were 17.54 and 10.49 percent, respectively. Both NVK-ES0511 and carrier were physically changed from powder into wet mass after hygroscopic examination. The hygroscopicity of herbal extract could be attributed to its chemical constituents. The powder of NVK-ES0511 was determined as highly hygroscopic, thus it was necessary to keep it in a dry place for further preparation into a pharmaceutical solid dosage form.

S-P-25 EFFECT OF PHARMACEUTICAL EXCIPIENTS ON ORGANIC CATION TRANSPORTER 2 ACTIVITY Sirima Soodvilai1, Sunhapas Soodvilai2, Varanuj Chatsudthipong3, Praneet Opanasopit1 Pharmaceutical Development of Green Innovations Group (PDGIG), Faculty of Pharmacy, Silpakorn University, Nakhon Pathom 73000, Thailand 2 Department of Physiology, Faculty of Science, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand and Research Center of Transport Proteins for Medical Innovation, Faculty of Science, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand 3 Department of Physiology, Faculty of Science, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand 1

Renal organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) plays an important role in excretion of a wide range of organic cations, including therapeutic agents and xenobiotics. Because OCT2 plays important roles for pharmacokinetics and tissue disposition of many cationic drugs, drug-drug interactions, therefore, inhibition of this transporter influences the plasma level of the drugs. Excipients are essential for the formulation of drugs to support their preparation. It has been reported that some excipients modulate the activity of the efflux transporters such as Pglycoprotein (P-gp). These data indicate that some excipients may alter the pharmacokinetic of drugs. At present, there is no data concerning the interaction of pharmaceutical excipients with uptake transporters. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of excipients on transport function of OCT2 by investigating the interaction of the excipients with OCT2. The OCT2 transport function was determined by monitoring cellular accumulation of radiolabeled methyl4-phenylpyridinium acetate ([ 3H]-MPP+ ), a substrate of OCT2, in a Chinese hamster ovarian cell, stably transfected with rbOCT2 ( rbOCT2- CHO- K1) . Ten of 24 excipients including Tween20, Tween60,Tween80,CremophorRH40, CremophorA6, CremophorA25, Span20, Span60, Gelucire44/ 14, Methylated N- ( 4- N,N- dimethylaminobenzyl) chitosan significantly decreased the uptake of [ 3H]- MPP+ in rbOCT2-CHO- K1 cells. On the other hand other 14 excipients ( quaternized chitosan, PEG400, PEG4000, PEG6000, propylene glycol, pectin, sodium alginate, tragacanth, acacia, methyl cellulose, hydroxylpropyl methylcellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose sodium, poloxamer188, and poloxamer407) had no effect on OCT2 transport function. This study demonstrates that some excipients interact with OCT2, and might alter pharmacokinetic of drugs that are substrates of OCT2. Keywords: kidney, drug interaction, drug transporters, excipients

S-P-26 EFFECT OF d-LIMONENE ON SKIN PERMEATION ENHANCER OF KAEMPFERIA PARVIFLORA EXTRACT-LOADED MICROEMULSIONS Paisit Wattanasri, Tanasait Ngawhirunpat, Theerasak Rojanarata, Praneet Opanasopit Pharmaceutical Development of Green Innovations Group (PDGIG), Faculty of Pharmacy, Silpakorn University, Nakhon Pathom 73000, Thailand The aim of this study was to demonstrate the amount of d- limonene on physicochemical properties and skin permeation of Kaempferia parviflora (KP) extract-loaded microemulsions (ME). ME systems composed of oleic acid as oil phase, Tween 20 as surfactant, propylene glycol as co-surfactant and water as aqueous phase were formulated to load KP extract. The effect of d-limonene (1, 5 and 10 % w/w) on skin permeation enhancement of KP extract was investigated. The results showed that the amount of d-limonene played an important role on physicochemical characteristics and in vitro skin permeation of KP extract. The mean droplet size of KP extract-loaded ME was in the range of 37.69-125.08 nm, depending on the amount of d-limonene. The particle size tended to be larger, when the concentration of d-limonene increased. The pH value and conductivity of KP extract-loaded ME were 4.96-5.05 and 44.867.7 ÂľS/cm, respectively. Furthermore, the conductivity value indicated that KP extract-loaded ME were oil in water ME. The in vitro skin permeation studies found that increasing the dlimonene content significantly increased permeation flux through porcine abdominal skin. The highest KP skin permeation was found in the KP extract-loaded ME with 10 % d-limonene which was 16.6-fold and 2.9-fold higher than that of the control (KP extract in water) and ME without d- limonene, respectively. The results suggest the potential use of d- limonene as effective penetration enhancer in the delivery of significant amounts of KP through skin.

S-P-27 IN VITRO RELEASE AND INTESTINAL PERMEATION OF SILYMARIN-LOADED POLYMERIC MICELLES Wajee Tipparos, Tanasait Ngawhirunpat, Theerasak Rojanarata, Praneet Opanasopit Pharmaceutical Development of Green Innovations Group (PDGIG), Faculty of Pharmacy, Silpakorn University, Thailand Silymarin is a poorly water soluble compound which leads to low bioavailability. In this study, polymeric micelles have been used as drug carrier of silymarin to increase its solubility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro release of silymarin from the pH responsive polymeric micelles and in vitro intestinal permeation through porcine duodenums. Silymarin was incorporated into amphiphilic chitosan derivatives; N- benzyl- N,O- succinyl chitosan (BSCS), N-naphthyl-N,O-succinyl chitosan (NSCS) and N-octyl-N-O-succinyl chitosan (OSCS) via evaporation method to form the silymarin- loaded polymeric micelles. The release of silymarin-loaded polymeric micelles was investigated in phosphate buffer pH 7.4 medium, and SGF medium (0.1 N HCl, pH 1.2) for 2 h changed to SIF medium pH 6.8 for 6 h using dialysis bag. The release of silymarin from polymeric micelles was found to be dependent on the pH of the medium and was higher than free drug. In SGF medium at 0-2 h, the cumulative silymarin release was similar to free drug. However, when the pH was changed to 6.8, the silymarin release significantly increased in all silymarin- loaded polymeric micelles and higher than silymarin free drug as well as in phosphate buffer pH 7.4 medium. The in vitro permeation studies of silymarin through porcine intestine were performed using Franz diffusion cells. The result revealed that the intestinal permeation rates of silymarin from all silymarin- loaded polymeric micelles were not significantly different. These results suggest that amphiphilic chitosan derivatives could be form pH-responsive polymeric micelles and used as potential silymarin delivery system. Keywords: silymarin, polymeric micelles, release, intestinal permeation

Phagocytic cells play an important role in the immune system mechanism. However, when the phagocytic cells were over activated, the cells will be damaged through their Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Nitric Oxide (NO) productions. In the phagolysosome process, inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) and ROS were activated. Nitric oxide is a product of arginin reaction catalyzed by iNOS enzyme. The methanolic extract of Piper crocatum Ruiz & Pav. ( red betel) leaf is an immunostimulant, which is able to increase macrophages phagocytic activity known relatively high. However the mentioned activity did not over produce of NO. The mention condition may be due to the ability of P. crocatum leaf to keep safe the function of immune cells from the effect of macrophage phagocytic over activity. The aim of the current research was to investigate P. crocatum leaf methanolic extract antioxidant activity and then compared to those of rutin and Piper betle methanolic extract. It is known that rutin is an immunostimulant and antioxidant while the methanolic extract of P. betle is an immunosupressant and antioxidant. Furthermore, the P. crocatum antioxidant activity was compared to those of P. aduncum, P. bacatum, P. cubeba, P. longum, and P. nigrum leaf methanolic extracts. The results show that IC50 values of P. crocatum leaf methanolic extract, rutin, and P. betle leaf methanolic extract are 84.341 ± 6878 µg/ml; 0.135 ± 0.0004 µg/ml, and 26.915 ± 0.455 µg/ml respectively.

Epilepsy is the most frequent neurodegenerative disease. It is a state of recurrent, spontaneous seizures. Most epidemiological studies of convulsion find an incidence rate of 20 to 70 per 100,000 populations per year. The rates are higher in developing countries, where rates are roughly double those in developed countries. C. speciosus (Koenig) Sm. is the only species in the genus Costus that is medicinally important. C. speciosus rhizome was utilized to assess antiepileptic activity using Pentylenetetrazole and Isoniazid induced epileptic mice model. Latency of convulsion, duration of convulsion and mortality were used as parameters for anti-epileptic activity of C. speciosus. Also, neurological effects of C. speciosus extract was assessed using balance beam test. Kruskal- Wallis, Mann-Whitney U Test and Chi Square test were used to evaluate the results. Based on the result obtained, 250 mg/ kg, 500 mg/ kg and 750 mg/ kg significantly elicited anti- epileptic activity ( p- value < 0 . 05) and were comparable to phenobarbital as the standard anticonvulsant drug (p-value >0.05) by delaying the onset of convulsion and shortening of duration of convulsion. Also, C. speciosus extract were able to protect mice from INH-induced convulsion by not convulsing within half of the observation time and reduce the mortality rate of the convulsions induced by PTZ and INH (p-value < 0 .05). C. speciosus also showed no significant difference on neurological effect on mice when compared to the control group. Keywords: anti-epileptic, C. speciosus rhizome, isonicotinic hydrazine induced convulsion, and pentylenetetrazole induced convulsion

Primary effusion lymphoma ( PEL) is an incurable hematological malignancy and novel biological- based treatments are urgently necessitated in the clinical settings. In the present study, shikonin (SHK), a napthoquinone has been used to investigate the underlying cellular mechanisms of apoptosis as well as the treatment of PEL. MTT assays showed a significant decrease of PEL cells proliferation in vitro. Flow cytometry with annexin V and propidium iodide (PI) double staining revealed that SHK treatment dose-dependently increased the early apoptotic (1.6 % to 63.8 %) cells. Treatment of PEL cells with SHK (2 µM) resulted in profound induction of apoptosis accompanied by rapid generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), striking activation of c- Jun- N- terminal kinase ( JNK) and p38, marked decrease the mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), activation of caspase-9, -8 and -3. Scavenging of ROS in the presence of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) almost blocked the JNK activation, caspase-3 cleavage as well as the induction of apoptosis in the SHK treated PEL cells. Inhibition of caspase activation in the presence of Q-VD-OPh blocked the SHK-induced apoptosis, but didn’t modify SHK-mediated JNK activation or ROS generation. Therefore, ROS and JNK is the trigger of caspase- 3 activation in PEL cells. In a PEL xenograft Nude- Rag2/ Jak3 double deficient mice model, SHK treatment reduced the amount of ascites without showing significant systemic toxicity. These findings demonstrated that SHK would be a potential antitumor agent on the therapeutic treatment of PEL in HIV/AIDS patients. Keywords: lymphoma, reactive oxygen species

The particulate system can be used to improve the bioavailability of drugs, especially for hydrophobic substance. Andrographolide ( ADG) has various activities such as antiinflammatory, hepatoprotective, antiviral and anticancer. Andrographolide’s shortage is the low oral bioavailability because it has high lipophilicity, low water solubility and short half-life. Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMChi) is a polyanionic polymer that biodegradable, biocompatible and non-toxic. Carboxyl group of CMChi can be cross-linked with cationic compounds forming particle systems. The cross-linked system could enhance the ability to entrap the drug and can also be used to control drug release. This study was conducted to determine the effect of crosslinking on the physical characteristics of the particulate system of ADL- CMChi. Particulate systems were made with ionic gelation method - spray drying using CaCl2 as the crosslinker. The particles were evaluated for its particle size and morphology, the interaction of the material, crystallinity, thermal analysis and drug content. The result of SEM results indicates that the non-cross-linked particles have more spherical morphology. From The X-ray diffractogram and DTA thermogram, it was known that the cross-linked particles indicate low intensity of crystallinity compare to non cross-linked particles and physical mixture of ADLCM Chi. The existence of the ADL which is not entrapped and loss of fine particles during the spray drying process affect the recovery of ADL system. The crosslinking process affects the physical characteristics of ADL that result in the decrease in crystallinity and lower melting range that improve its solubility and dissolution then it will has impact on Keywords: andrographolide, carboxymethyl chitosan, particulate system, physical characterization

Single photon emission computed tomography ( SPECT) is one of the molecular imaging techniques that are used as a diagnostic method. With strong sensitivity and high resolution, SPECT also enables us to visualize receptor expression using the radiolabeled ligands. It has been recently reported that kiss1 receptor is widely expressed in various tumors, such as HEK293, B16-BL6, and CHO-K1 cells and its expression is associated with poor prognosis. Thus, we examined the expressions of kiss1 receptors in various cell lines and developed a measuring method for kiss1 receptor expression in tumor ceHEK293, B16-BL6, and CHO-K1 cellslls. First, the receptor expressions of kiss1 in 11 cell lines (H69, H69AR, H358, H226, H2170, ECC4, MCC13, TT, RIN5F, PC12, MtT/SM) were determined and found in 8 tumors including TT tumor. We then successfully synthesized and radiolabeled a kisspeptin derivative by Ga-67 to perform SPECT imaging of TT tumor bearing mice. As the results, TT tumor was clearly visualized. Our results suggested that SPECT can be a good candidate for a noninvasive diagnostic tool for tumor metastasis.

S-P-47 SCREENING OF CURCUMIN AND OTHER DIETARY COMPOUNDS AS HISTONE DEACETYLASE INHIBITORS Nunung Yuniarti, Dwi Jayanti N Utami, Hanifah A Thain Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Sekip Utara Sleman Yogyakarta 55281 Indonesia Recently, many diseases caused by changes in the expression of certain gene are emerged. One of the mechanism that influence gene expression is epigenetic mechanism through the modification of histone proteins, such as acetylation and deacetylation of histones. Histone deacetylation is catalyzed by the histone deacetylase ( HDAC) enzyme that process the withdrawal of acetyl groups from the histone protein. This process next triggered the inaccessible of transcription factors to DNA resulting in a decrease in gene expression. Therefore, targeting HDAC is necessary to treat a variety of diseases related to the epigenom modification in particular histone deacetylation. The aim of this study was to determine the ability of dietary compounds including curcumin to inhibit the HDAC2 and HDAC8 enzyme. Dietary compounds are active substances in foods consumed every day. If dietary compounds able to inhibit HDAC and consumed for long time, it would affect gene expression and can be used as a new strategy to prevent, delay, or heal some diseases caused by changes in the transcription epigenom cells. This study was performed in vitro using spectrofluorometri method by measuring the fluoresence intensity. The dietary compounds used were genistein, daidzein, curcumin, allyl sulfide, benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), and methyl pyruvate. The result showed that genistein, daidzein, curcumin inhibited HDAC2 but not HDAC8. On the other hand, allyl sulfide and BITC inhibited both enzymes. However, methyl pyruvate inhibited neither HDAC2 nor HDAC8. Keywords: dietary compounds, HDAC, epigenetic, histone

The microtubute-associated protein light chain 3B (LC3B) is a key protein in the formation of autophagosomal membranes. Aggregation of GFP-LC3B fusion proteins in the autophagosome observed under inverted-fluorescense microscopy has become widely used as biomaker of autophagy. In this study, a human LC3B nucleotide sequence was amplified by RT-PCR and inserted into pZSGFP-C1 plasmid for expression of the GFP-LC3B fusion protein. The GFP- LC3B plasmid was transfected into BHK- 21 cell using BioRadelectroporation and stable BHK-21 cell line was selected by G418 screening. The formation of autophagosome was observed by fluorescense microscopy. Furthermore, following rapamycin treatment dramatically increased the formation of autophagosomes, while chloroquine treatment induced a significant decrease in the number of autophagosomes. Therefore, it is crucial to construct stable BHK- 21 cell line expressing GFP- LC3B as the formation of autophagosome assay and may contribute to basic investigations of autophagy function or use as drug screening targeted at autophagy in cancer and infection.

The potential interaction between MDP and excipients were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The solubility and stability studied were also investigated. The results showed that tSD in the homogeneous region provided a transparent mass. FTIR results indicated that strong hydrogen bonding between MDP and copovidone was presented, leading to a significant increase in the solubility and dissolution of MDP. The solubility studied show a good linear relationship between MDP solubility and concentration of TPGS; the solubility increased with the increased TPGS in the formulation. After storage at ambient temperature ( 28°C) and under accelerated condition (40°C/75%RH) for 3 months, the tSD showed a higher solubility than that of initial preparation. The results suggested that the tSD not only increased MDP solubility but also improved drug stability. Keywords: manidipine, ternary solid dispersion, melting method, copovidone, TPGS, solubility

S-P-60 EFFECT OF MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENTS ON PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF EMULSIONS Srisuda Konthong, Pornsak Sriamornsak Faculty of Pharmacy, Silpakorn University, Nakhon Pathom 73000 Thailand The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of molecular structure of active pharmaceutical ingredients ( APIs) on the physical properties of emulsions. The APIs, poorly water- soluble drugs, studied were mefenamic acid, indomethacin, itraconazole, ketoconazole and clotrimazole. The emulsions were prepared by a simple homogenization, using pectin as an emulsifier. Chloroform was used as an oil phase. The effects of type and concentration of pectin and different APIs on the size and size distribution were investigated. The results showed that droplet size and size distribution of the prepared emulsions depended on concentration of pectin. The emulsions obtained from high methoxy pectin (HMP) and pomelo pectin showed that the droplet size decreased with an increased pectin concentration. The size of emulsions containing different APIs (i.e., mefenamic acid, indomethacin, ketoconazole and clotrimazole) was in the micrometer range. The exception is for the emulsions containing itraconazole, which demonstrated the smallest droplet size, in the nanometer range, for HMP and pomelo pectin. It is likely that the added itraconazole molecularly associated with pectin. Keywords: pectin, emulsions, active pharmaceutical ingredients, molecular structure, physical properties

A prodrug strategy was developed for targeted delivery of doxorubicin, a commonly used anticancer drug. For this purpose, the chemical conjugation of doxorubicin onto thiolated pectin was carried out. Firstly, thiolated pectin was synthesized through covalent bond between pectin and cystamine dihydrochloride. Then, the thiolated pectin was conjugated to doxorubicin by oxidation of thiol reaction, which is provided by the formation of disulfide bridges. The zeta potential value of oxidized polymer exhibited more negative, indicating the free thiol group ( - SH) . The successful reaction was confirmed Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy; the peaks at 1,620 and 1,745 cm- 1 were observed. The pectin- doxorubicin conjugates showed the cross- linking efficiency of 18- 33% , depending on pectin type, molecular weight and mole ratio between thiolated pectin and doxorubicin. Scanning electron microscopic images demonstrated that the appearance was not changed after passing through the reaction process. The results suggested that the pectin- doxorubicin conjugates represent promising anticancer drug delivery system.

Because of several health benefits of GABA, the development and production of GABAenriched plants as nutraceuticals is currently of interest and actively pursued. Here, a facile method to produce GABA-enriched mung bean sprouts is presented using common household reagents. It was found that germinated mung beans soaked with 6 mM monosodium glutamate flavor enhancer solution of which the pH was deliberately adjusted to 5 by using distilled white vinegar for 3 days contained a significantly higher GABA level ( 57. 0 mg/ g dry weight) than that of non-germinated seeds (2.1 mg/g dry weight) and that of germinated seeds soaked with water, pH 7 ( 12. 2 mg/ g dry weight) . Since mung bean sprouts are familiar foods and the reagents used here are easily obtainable and generally recognized as safe, the proposed germination protocol can be practically applied to the production of bean sprouts with enhanced nutritional values.

Chitosan also provided antibacterial activity that is an attractive preparation widely used as a pharmaceutical excipient. Thus, the aim of the study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of mangosteen extract, chitosan- ethylenediaminetetraacetate ( EDTA) derivative and the combination of mangosteen extract and chitosan- EDTA against oral bacterial pathogens. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimal biocidal concentrations (MBC) were determined. A checkerboard assay was used to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of the combination of mangosteen extract and chitosan-EDTA. The results showed that mangosteen extract gave the low MIC and MBC values against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguinis than those exhibited by chitosan- EDTA. The possible antibacterial activity of mangosteen extract was the induction of a rapid dissipation of membrane potential and leakage of intracellular components. The mechanism of chitosan was the interference of anionic component of the bacterial cells. Checkerboard assay results indicated a synergistic antibacterial activity of the mangosteen extract and chitosanEDTA against these oral pathogens. These findings suggest the use of mangosteen extract as an antibacterial agent in pharmaceutical preparations in combination with chitosan-EDTA. Keywords: mangosteen, chitosan, EDTA, synergistic antibacterial agents, oral pathogens

S-P-66 IN VIVO EVALUATION OF THE WOUND-HEALING ACTIVITY OF WATER-SOLUBLE CHITIN FROM SHELLS OF LITOPENAEUS VANNAMEI (PENAEIDAE) AGAINST HYPERGLYCEMIC SPRAGUEDAWLEY RATS INDUCED WITH STREPTOZOTOCIN AND NICOTINAMIDE Aleth Therese L. Dacanay, May T. Magtoto, Angelica Jane T. Domalanta Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines Wound- healing is a dynamic process which encompasses phases of inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. It is affected by conditions such as elevated blood glucose levels, which serve as an initial barrier to healing wounds in hyperglycemic patients. This study was done to evaluate and establish the wound- healing property of topically applied water- soluble chitin (WSC) in hyperglycemic rats. Chitin was isolated from shells of Litopenaeus vannamei (Penaeidae) through chemical treatment and was made water-soluble through alkali treatment. The WSC yielded a yellow osazone crystal with Phenyl Hydrazine Test and it turned black upon performing the Chitosan Color Test. These results confirm that the isolated substance is chitin. Scratch and Patch tests were done to four rabbits for dermal irritation test. Results revealed that there was no edema or erythema on the skin surface of the rabbits; thus, WSC was non-irritating. A group of Sprague-Dawley rats (n=10) were made hyperglycemic through administration of nicotinamide ( 230 mg/ kg) intraperitoneally followed by streptozotocin ( 50 mg/kg) intravenously. Each hyperglycemic rat received two lateral incisions, one treated with WSC ( 0. 05 g/ mL) and the other served as the negative control. After 10 days, rats were euthanized and wound-breaking strengths were measured. Tissue samples were harvested and subjected to histopathological examination. Results suggested that the wounds treated with WSC have significantly greater wound- breaking strength ( p < 0 . 0001) and re- epithelialized extensively compared to the control. As a conclusion, the WSC does not cause hypersensitivity in the skin of rabbits and can be a possible alternative to heal wounds in hyperglycemic rats.

Martin, Christine Joy H. Acosta Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines Urolithiasis, the formation of stones caused by the supersaturation of urine. Hibiscus rosasinensis Linn. ( Malvaceae) , known in the Philippines as gumamela have numerous pharmacologic uses. The researchers evaluated gumamela for its antiurolithiatic activity. Thirty-six male Albino Swiss mice were randomly divided into 6 equal groups. Group I served as the normal group. Groups II, III, IV, V, and VI received ethylene glycol ( 0. 75% v/ v) and ammonium chloride ( 2% ) from day 4 up to day 10. Group II served as the negative control. Group III ( positive control) received 25mg/ kg Hydrochlorothiazide; groups IV, V, and VI ( preventive groups) received 250mg/ kg, 500mg/ kg, and 1000mg/ kg of ethanolic extract respectively from day 1 up to day 10; first three days as prophylaxis. The mice 24- hour urine samples were collected on day 0, 3, and 10 and was examined for the presence of calcium oxalate crystals. On the 10th day, sub- mandibular blood collection was used for testing of biochemical parameters. The urine crystals of group I (p=0.105), group III (p = 0.368), group IV (p =0.097), and group V (p =0.174) did not have significant changes. However, the urine crystals of the group II significantly increased (p=0.022), specifically at day 10 while the urine crystals of group VI had continuous decrease (p=0.016) from baseline to day 10. The decrease in calcium oxalate crystallization was due to the ability of the ethanolic leaf extract to prevent urinary supersaturation of calcium oxalate in a dose dependent manner. To conclude, gumamela ethanolic extract has a significant therapeutic potential for Keywords: urolithiasis, calcium oxalate, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine

The rate of nicotine metabolism is hypothesized to be a determinant of how much a person smokes, that is, rapid metabolizers would be expected to smoke more than slow metabolizers. Nicotine is metabolized extensively by the liver enzyme cytochrome P450 2A6, primarily to cotinine. Cotinine then metabolized by cytochrome P450 2A6 to 3’-hydroxycotinine. The ratio of metabolite to parent (i.e., 3OH-Cot/Cot) would be expected to reflect CYP2A6 activity. The ratio of 3OH-Cot/Cot in the 50 urine smokers was measured by HPLC method with a C8 fully endcapped residual silano-type column coupled and UV detection with liquid-liquid extraction. The ratio of 3OH-Cot/Cot was positively correlated with the number of cigarettes smoked per day ( r = 0. 327, p = 0. 020) . This finding supports the hypothesis that the rate of nicotine metabolism is a determinant of the level of cigarette consumption and supports the use of the 3OH-C/COT ratio as a noninvasive marker of nicotine metabolism.

Alpha-mangostin (AMG) derived from mangosteen pericarp has various interesting biological activities, such as antioxidant, anti- bacterial and anti- inflammatory. AMG possesses poor aqueous solubility, therefore it is challenging to improve bioavailability in product development. Recently, we reported the solubility enhancement of AMG by self- emulsifying drug delivery system ( SEDDS) . The purpose of this study was to prepare and evaluate the immediate release AMG tablets using SEDDS ( AMG- SEDDS tablet) . Liquid- SEDDS of AMG, mixture of Captex速 200 P, Tween速 80 and CapryolTM 90 was prepared and adsorbed with solid carriers, including PVP K30 and PVP K90 to obtain the solid- SEDDS. The solidSEDDS was completely blended with diluents consisting of Cellactose速 80, Avicel速 PH102, sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. The powder mixture equivalent to AMG 5 mg was compressed to a tablet by direct compression. The physical characteristics and dissolution of AMG- SEDDS tablets were evaluated. The content uniformity, hardness and friability of the AMG-SEDDS tablets were acceptable. The results indicated that the tablets using SEDDS with PVP K30 and PVP K90 disintegrated within 15 and 5 min, respectively. Moreover, the dissolution studies revealed that 68% and 79% of AMG were released from the tablets with PVP K30 and PVP K90 at 60 min, respectively. It was concluded that the release of AMG from tablets could be improved significantly by using SEDDS.

The low density floating matrix tablet based on porous foam powder prepared by hot melt extrusion (HME) was developed in order to prolong the gastric residence time and to increase the overall bioavailability of the drug. The floating tablets consist of riboflavin- 5- phosphate ( model drug) , polyethylene oxide ( PEO, matrix forming polymer) and polypropylene foam powder (low-density substance). Incorporation of foam powder led to increasing porosity and decreasing density of the tablets. The tablets could float immediately and maintained flotation longer than 8 h with the optimized level of foam powder. In this work, impacts of drug loading and polymer blend on properties of the floating tablet were investigated. The pressure during hot melt extrusion process continuously increased with increasing drug loading and caused increasing tablet density. Time to float was observed and increased with increasing drug loading due to the higher density of the system. Moreover, prolonged drug release of the floating tablet occurred. To optimize the drug release, Kollidon速 SR ( polyvinyl acetate and povidone based matrix retarding polymer) was used as a polymer blend ( with PEO) . The increasing ratio of Kollidon速 SR decreased the drug release and did not affect on floating properties of the system. In conclusion, low density floating tablet was successfully prepared by hot melt extrusion. Drug release was affected by drug loading and could be modified by a ratio of PEO and Kollidon速 SR. The tablets exhibited initial floatation and retained buoyancy with the sustained release profile.

S-P-76 COMPARATIVE IN VITRO EQUIVALENCE STUDIES OF HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE TABLET USING VARIOUS BINDER Ulfi Bahari1, Chitra Fadilla Dzulfia2, Ai Surtiati1 1

Formulation Deveopment, Kimia Farma Research and Development, Bandung 40171 Indonesia 2 Analytical Method Deveopment, Kimia Farma Research and Development, Bandung 40171 Indonesia Many SLE sufferers have problems to finding hydroxychloroquine tablet for their medication; however, in Indonesia there is no pharmaceutical company which produce this tablet. The aim of his study was to develop formulation so the in vitro dissolution result will be similar to Plaquenil in order to assure good result in bioequivalence test. Plaquenil which is the innovator drug has an in vitro dissolution profile in which only 30- 40 % of hydroxychloroquine sulfate is dissolved after 10 minutes, whereas the hydroxychloroquine sulfate itself has an intrinsic dissolution rate of 80- 90% dissolved drug in 10 minutes. Therefore, the dissolution of hydroxychloroquine sulfate has to be retarded in order to match Plaquenil’s dissolution profile. Wet granulation method with different binders was used to retard dissolution of hydroxychloroquine sulfate in tablets. Povidone ( 0. 25 to 3. 0% of Kollidon K- 30) , polymethacrylates (0.5 to 5.0% of Eudragit L100) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (2.0 to 6,0 % of Klucel HxF) were among the binders used in this study.

Common cold is the most widespread infectious disease in humans. It is a benign self-limiting illness. However, it can sometimes be serious and complications may also occur. Carrageenan is sulphated polysaccharides derived from red seaweed. It has been shown to possess antiviral activity. Clinical studies have reported conflicting results of the effect of carrageenan in treating common cold. We undertook a systematic review and meta- analysis to assess the efficacy of carrageenan nasal spray in the treatment of common cold. Clinical trials were systematically searched from PubMed, The Cochrane Library, CINAHL, NCCIH, clinicaltrials.gov, Web of Science and Scopus up until April 2016. The following MeSH terms were used: carrageenan, nasal sprays, common cold, respiratory tract infections, and antiviral agent. The reference lists of retrieved articles were also screened for relevant studies. Language restriction was not imposed. To be included in the meta-analysis, a study had to be randomized double- blind controlled trial comparing carrageenan nasal spray and placebo in patient with common cold and reporting total symptom scores. Treatment effect was estimated with mean difference and adverse event with odds ratio. Three trials involving a total of 380 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in the meta- analysis. Carrageenan nasal spray was more effective than placebo in reducing total symptom severity (mean difference -0.58; 95%CI -1. 09 to -0. 08, p-value = 0.02). The risk of severe adverse events did not differ between the two groups ( OR 0. 71; 95% CI 0. 22- 2. 31) . In conclusion, carrageenan nasal spray may be effective and safe for treating common cold. Keywords: carrageenan, common cold, systematic review, meta-analysis

DRPs has been detected prior to the patient, it could reduce severity from such problems eventually. Therefore, the objective of this study was to set up prescription screening system for detection, solving and prevention in DRPs systematically. This study was prospective descriptive study, to detect and monitor DRPs of patients which admitted to Prasat Neurological Institution during January 2015 to September 2015. DRPs were detected by the pharmacist in inpatient pharmacy services who reviewed physician’ s medication orders by using Prescription screening criteria which approved by Medication Safety Committee. The result revealed that 64 of DRPs (12.2%) from 525 events of prescription screening. Among detected DRPs, the most frequency type of DRPs was an inappropriate dose of antimicrobial agents in patient with renal insufficiency ( 50% ) , followed by drug- drug interaction ( 21. 9% ) and improper drug selection ( 12. 5% ) , respectively. From result of DRPs, the pharmacist recommended to prescribed physician and found that physician accepted pharmacist’s recommendation much more 78.13%, followed by 71. 43% and 87. 5% , respectively. From the result of DRPs above, we specify the policy to prevent the most DRPs and conduct multidisciplinary guideline to monitor adverse drug reaction from antimicrobials usage. This study shows that pharmacist in inpatient pharmacy services play the important role in early detection of DRPs and reduces the severity of adverse drug events by using prescription screening criteria which are standardized by the multidisciplinary team.

Taichung County Pharmacist Association, Taiwan. 2 Critical Care Department of Tungs’ Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan Background: Use of inappropriate dosage of antibiotics is common in elderly patients with renal dysfunction. This study is to investigate and analyze the influence of pharmacist before and after their recommendations on the impact of renal function in these patients. Method: This is a retrospective study. Data collection from January 2015 to December 2015. A total of 1340 cases were screened and only 117 were enrolled but only 82 cases were analyzed completely. Indicators in assessing renal function we used serum creatinine, eGFR and CKD-EPI(The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology collaboration equation glomerular filtration rate). We analyze the changes in the indicators by comparing before and after the antibiotic adjustments. Result: Mean age is 69.64 ±16.39. Piperacillin / tazobactam, ampicillin / sulbactam and Vancomycin were the top 3 mostly needed to be adjust. After the recommendations, 45.12% there renal function improved, 45.12% no change in their renal function and 9.8% of these patients renal function deteriorated. The average difference before and after the recommendation showed creatinine in the range of 0.556±0.14 mL / dL,95% confidence interval 0.277 ~ 0.835 (p < 0.05), eGFR -9.08±3.27 mL /min, 95% confidence interval -15.58 ~ -2.59(p =0.007), CKD-EPI -9.84±2.15 mL /min ,95% confidence interval -14.11 ~ -5.559(p < 0.05). Discussion: The use of antibiotics without proper renal dose adjustment or change to a non-nephrotoxic antibiotic can further worsen patients of renal function.

Department of Pharmacy, Tungs' Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital, Taiwan. Taichung County Pharmacist Association, Taiwan. 2 Departments of Medical Research, Tungs’ Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital, Taiwan

Background information: Long-term therapy with nucleos(t)ide analogues have been reported with the decline of creatinine clearance for chronic hepatitis B patients. Purpose: We are interested to find out the risk of entecavir (ETV)- and tenofovir (TDF)-associated nephrotoxicity in these patients with or without diabetes. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data between October 2006 and December 2014 from 691 chronic hepatitis B patients. The cumulative incidences of acute kidney injury (AKI) were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method with either ETV (N = 580) or TDF (N = 111) treatment. AKI was defined as an increase in serum creatinine (SCr) 0.3 mg/dL from baseline or a decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate. Results: The incidences of AKI between non-diabetic ETV and TDF treated patients were not significantly different. However, a significant difference of AKI (P < 0 .001) was found between diabetic and non-diabetic patients treated with ETV or TDF. TDFtreated diabetic patients had more severe AKI than ETV-treated one at 6-, 12-, 18, and 24 months (P < 0 .001). Conclusion: Taken together, these results indicate that both TDF and ETV could damage kidney and raise serum creatinine in certain condition. It suggests that TDF should be used with more caution in patients with diabetes or even a mild renal dysfunction. Keywords: tenofovir, creatinine, renal dysfunction, chronic hepatitis b

Taichung County Pharmacist Association, Taiwan. Background: Antibiotic resistance is a global public health issue and the hospital care system must reduce this threat. Therefore, an antibiotics approval window by infectious physicians is implemented in the computerized physician order entry ( CPOE) . Purpose: We revised the antibiotics approval window of CPOE in the early 2016, because the old version could not provide a complete reasoning of prescribing antibiotics. The conformity rates for the reason to use antibiotics in this window were compared from these two versions. Methods: We studied the conformity of the reason data, one- month before and after revision of the antibiotics approval window of CPOE. The data were then analyzed by chi-square test. Results: Among 2160 cases in the old version, 1554 (71.9%) were in conformity with the reasoning. In contrast, there were 2410 cases with 2371 ( 98. 4% ) of conformity in the new version. The new one provided a more complete information than the old ( p < 0 . 001) . Conclusion: After revision, the new window could show more complete reasoning for antibiotics use by prescribers and provided an easy platform for the approval by infectious physicians and clinical pharmacists.

H-P-17 STRENGTHENING THE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING IN PHARMA EDUCATION: NEED OF THE HOUR Sriram Shanmugam Department of Pharmacy Practice,College of Pharmacy, SRIPMS, 395,Sarojini Naidu Road, Siddhapudur,Coimbatore-641 044,Tamil Nadu, INDIA The goal of any Pharmacy educational learning program is to provide the tools that are required to design quality experiential learning for the pharmacy student in the practice environment. Practice experiences help to reinforce didactic learning and build clinical practice skills and knowledge. A special kind of self-directed learning can occur in practice setting and is called experiential learning. Experiential learning is one that occurs when a student is physically engaged in a professional activity with real consequences. Experiential learning in comparison to classroom learning, tends to be much more individualized with regard to what the preceptor can teach and the student can learn. Only in an experiential setting a student can perform a skill over and over until he/she becomes truly proficient. It is in the implementation of the learning objectives that students begin their professional development and gain confidence in providing pharmacy services. Experiential learning integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical experience in a professional setting. The role of a preceptor in an experiential setting differs from that of a teacher in a classroom. A classroom teacher is mainly a describer of facts or skill steps. The preceptor is a teacher, a facilitator, and a mentor. In addition to the fact & skill teaching, the preceptor facilitates the learning process for the student by providing a rich environment for the development of the knowledge, skill, attitude and behavior required of competent pharmacy professionals.

H-P-22 THE ANALYSIS OF THE FACTORS AFFECTING SIDE EFFECT DEVELOPMENT OF PATIENT-CONTROLLED-ANALGESIA Rung Wei Zhang, Chia Hung Wang, Hsing Hsien Lin, Su Chen Yen Department of Pharmacy, Tungs' Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan. Taichung County Pharmacist Association, Taiwan. Background This study tried to analyze the influential factors of whether PCA may have side effects on the persons taking it. Methods The data were collected from October 2014 to May 2016. We defined the patients who stopped taking PCAs for well-controlled pain as controlled group. Results We enrolled 176 cases, including 75 cases of controlled groups (Male: Female =14:61) and 101 cases of side effect groups (Male: Female= 21:80). In our hospital there were three formulas of PCAs. Among them, we found Formula 2 Group (morphine 20mg + fentanyl 1.1mg) might develop side effects more often. In the second part of our study, we found the elder patients would develop side effects (controlled: side effect group = 49.64 + 18.27: 55.59 + 15.79, p=0.022), and the side effect group might discard more while using PCA (controlled: side effect group = 67.49 + 13.60 %: 76.73 + 13.66%, p=0.000). The doses of morphine and fentanyl received may also influence the development of side effect (p=0.00). Conclusion We found those who develop side effects might stop using PCA, and be injected less morphine and fentanyl. The elder patients might develop side effect when they use PCA. Thus, we should be more careful while using PCAs on elder patients. Keywords: patient controlled analgesia, PCA, side effect

Background: The epidemiology of ESBL-producing E. coli infection is changing during the past decade. Therefore, we intend to perform a retrospective epidemiology study to determine the risk of acquisition of ESBL-producing E. coli in our hospital. Methods:We collected 751 E. coli isolates from inpatient and outpatient of our hospital. The data collected included: age, sex, underlying disease, antimicrobial therapy prior to the onset of infection, admission to the ICU, use of immunosuppressive agents, surgical procedures within 1 month. Comparisons of categorical variables were done using the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test. P < 0 .05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Of the 751 patients, 337 patients were infected by ESBL-producing E. coli (ESBL-E. coli), 279 patients were infected by non-ESBL-producing E. coli which was resistant to at least one antibiotic (non-ESBL-E. coli) and 135 patients were infected by E. coli which was susceptible to all antibiotics (non-resistant-E. coli). The difference between percentages of previous surgery within 1 month, admission to the ICU, previous exposure to steroids, beta-lactams/beta-lactamase inhibitors, 1st and 2nd-generation cephalosporin antibiotics and to quinolones among ESBL-E. coli (16.3%, 20.5%, 9.2%, 5.6%, 12.2%, and 6.5%, respectively) and non-resistant-E. coli (5.2%, 6.7%, 3.0%, 0.0%, 2.2% and 0.0%, respectively) was highly significant (P=0.019~0.000). Conclusion: Our data indicate that previous surgery within 1 month, admission to the ICU, previous exposure to steroids, betalactams/beta-lactamase inhibitors, 1st and 2nd-generation cephalosporin antibiotics and to quinolones can predispose individuals to infections with ESBL-E coli.

H-P-27 INADEQUACY OF CONVENTIONAL DOSING SCHEDULE OF CEFAZOLIN FOR ABDOMINAL SURGICAL PROPHYLAXIS Su-Chen Yen, Pei-Liang Chen Department of Pharmacy, Tungs' Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan. Taichung County Pharmacist Association, Taiwan. The Enterobacteriaceae is one of the most common pathogens isolated from the wound culture of patients with gastrointestinal surgery. The conventional cefazolin dosing schedule of 1 g every 8 hours appears effective for the treatment of Enterobacteriaceae with a cefazolin MIC ≤ 2 μg/mL only. However, unsatisfactory results are reported for the bacterial strain with MICs more than 4 μg/mL. Methods The patients were recruited after abdominal surgery. All of the patients were treatment with cefazolin 1g Q8H for infection prophylaxis post operation and wound classification was determined. Biochemical status, blood, culture data were recorded. Microbiological culture not belong Enterobacteriaceae was excluded from this study. Results 49 patients were included in this study. Fifty-four percent (27/49) of patients failed for cefazolin treatment and switched to the third generation of cephalosporins or carbapenem. There were 25 patients with Enterobacteriaceae positive finding in the wound culture and two with no finding in the culture but still had a fever. Mortality rate in those with the positive Enterobacteriaceae culture was obviously higher than those with a negative result, 44% (11 of 25 patients) vs. 8% (2 of 24 patients), respectively. Conclusion The conventional cefazolin dosing regimen of 1 g Q8H did not achieve a satisfactory prophylaxis post abdominal surgery if wound carried a high risk of Enterobacteriaceae infection. It is prudent to apply cefazolin 1g Q8H only when the wound classification is clean. Otherwise, cefazolin dose up to 2g Q8H should be considered. Keywords: Cefazolin, enterobacteriaceae

H-P-28 BLOOD TRANSFUSION MASKING CHRONIC COLCHICINE INTOXICATION IN A PATIENT ON CONTINUOUS AMBULATORY PERITONEAL DIALYSIS (CAPD) Su-Chen Yen, Pei-Liang Chen Department of Pharmacy, Tungs' Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan. Taichung County Pharmacist Association, Taiwan. Introduction Colchicine, a liposoluble alkaloid, is a widely prescribed to treat gout arthritis since the 19th century. Colchicine arrests microtubule assembly and inhibits many cellular functions. Preferential accumulation of colchicines in red blood cells and neutrophil was found. Colchicine has a narrow therapeutic index. Bone marrow suppression has been reported after prolonged administration of colchicines. We report the case who suffered from aplastic anemia after prolonged colchicines administration Case report This 68-year-old female with underlying disease of chronic renal dysfunction, gout and anemia accepted long-term medication regimen including colchicine 0.5mg QD, folic acid, B-Complex QD, Calcium carbonate 500mg TID, sennoside 20mg HS, NovoNorm 2mg TID and Periactin 8mg QD. Due to the rapid deterioration of renal function during colchicine administration since June, 2011, peritoneal dialysis was performed since May, 2013. Meanwhile, the patient accepted blood transfusion to relieve symptomatic anemia. However, this patient’s anemia never subsided so that blood transfusion was more and more frequent. Colchicine was discontinued after the patient was transferred to intensive care unit due to multiple organ failure on April 15, 2015. Unfortunately, even after the treatment, the patient still died of standstill and CV collapse on April 20, 2015. Bone marrow examination revealed hypocellularity, in favor of aplastic anemia. Colchicine induced aplastic anemia cannot be ruled out. Conclusion Colchicine overdose should be considered in cases of multiple system organ failure and bone marrow suppression of unclear cause. For elderly patients and those with kidney or liver disease must be monitored carefully if colchicine is used for long-term therapy. Keywords: colchicine, aplastic anemia, multiple organ failure

H-P-36 THE ANALYSIS OF SIDE EFFECT PATTERN OF PATIENTCONTROLLED-ANALGESIA AND THE INFLUENTIAL FACTORS OF HYPOTENSION, DIZZINESS OR NAUSEA/VOMITING DEVELOPEMET ON THE PERSONS USING IT Rung Wei Zhang, Chia Hung Wang, Hsing Hsien Lin Department of Pharmacy, Tungs' Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital, Taiwan. Taichung County Pharmacist Association, Taiwan. Background The most bothersome side effects of patient-controlled-analgesia (PCA) were hypotension, dizziness, and nausea/vomiting. This study tried to analyze the influential factors of these side effects. Methods The data were collected from October 2014 to May 2016, the patients who discarded PCA bags were enrolled. We defined the patients who stopped PCAs for well-controlled pain as controlled group. Results The most common side effects of PCA were hypotension (n=18, 18%), dizziness (n=36, 35%), nausea/vomiting (n=31, 31%) and flatulence (n=7, 7%). When hypotension, dizziness, and nausea/vomiting developed, more PCA bags discarded. We found elder patients and those with inferior renal function would develop hypotension (p=0.00). The hypotension might develop when one received lower doses of morphine or fentanyl, and the hypotension group also stopped taking PCA earlier (p=0.00). The older age was also a significant influential factor of nausea/vomiting (controlled: N/V = 49.64 + 18.27: 57.87 + 16.46, p=0.034). Besides hypotension, the fentanyl dose one received might influence the development of nausea/vomiting (controlled: N/V = 364.70 + 151.37: 271.32 + 148.38, p=0.004) and the dose of morphine might be the factor of flatulence development (controlled: flatulence = 5766.51 + 3631.04: 1811.59 + 3131.07, p=0.007) Conclusion Patients who developed hypotension, dizziness and nausea/vomiting might stop using PCAs pump earlier. And the elderly patients or had impaired renal function might develop hypotension when they use PCA. We found the dose of morphine was the check point of hypotension and flatulence, and the dose of fentanyl was the influential factor of hypotension and nausea/vomiting.

At present, the involvement of pharmacists in research in Sabah is low. Thus, the aim of this research is to study the attitudes, barriers of pharmacists towards research and to identify strategies to overcome barriers and culture research participation. Methodology This is a cross sectional; self-administered questionnaire survey conducted from November 2015 till February 2016 involving all public sector pharmacists whom currently working in Sabah. Results The response rate was 34.4%. Among the respondents, majority (71.7%) claimed that they have involved in research before but the median of completed research is only 1 (Interquartile Range 1.0). Majority of the respondents think that research is able to find answers to work-related problems (59.4%). However, many respondents were neutral to the interest in doing research (35.5%; n=59). Besides that, many agreed that conducting research is tedious (61.9%). Top three barriers towards research were: research increases daily workload (84.9%), lack of time (80.1%) and lack of access to literature (74.7%). As for strategies to overcome barriers and to culture interests towards research, majority thinks that free access to journal articles (88.6%), guidance from experts (87.3%) and utilisation of impactful outcomes of research (88.3%;n=143) may be useful. Conclusion Despite most of the respondents agree that research will help in overcoming problems in daily practice, the lack of time, guidance and access to literature have become major hurdles for them to conduct research. Strategies suggested may be used in future to culture research participation. Keywords: barriers, attitudes, research

H-P-38 IMPROVED RESPIRATORY FUNCTION RESULTING FROM COMMUNITY COOPERATIVE PROGRAM OF INHALATION INSTRUCTIONS Hiroshi Shinonaga, Hiroki Kondo, Norikazu Harada, Tsutomu Kaji, Yasunari Yoshida, Yasufumi Yamaji, Eiji Mukai Department of Pharmaceutical Services, Mitoyo General Hospital, Kagawa 769-1611 Japan Introduction: With an increasingly wide variety of inhalants and inhaler devices, the importance of inhalation instructions has drawn attention globally. We developed a program of inhalation instructions implemented in collaboration with community health insurance pharmacies, and under the initiative of Mitoyo General Hospital, a core hospital located in western Kagawa. We investigated the effectiveness of our program by comparing with results obtained in patients who received usual instructions. Methods: We studied patients who received either our inhalation instruction program (program group; n=97) or usual prescription instructions (control group; n=94) in a community health insurance pharmacy. We retrospectively examined the following respiratory function indexes by reviewing our electronic medical data: VC, %VC, FVC, %FVC, FEV1.0, FEV1.0%, V25/HT, PEF, MMF, R5, R20, R5-R20, X5, Fres, and ALX. Results: As compared with baseline, the program group showed a significant improvement in %VC, %FVC, FEV1.0, PEF, X5, Fres, and ALX, while the control group showed a significant improvement only in Fres. In between-group comparison, %VC and %FVC were improved to a significantly greater extent in the program group than in the control group. A subanalysis of the program group showed that multiple instructions significantly improved %VC, FVC, %FVC, PEF, R20, X5, Fres, and ALX, in contrast to the single instruction group, showing no significant improvement in the respiratory function indexes. Conclusion: Our community cooperative program for inhalation instructions was associated with greater improvement in respiratory function compared with usual prescription instructions. Our study also revealed that multiple instructions are required to achieve the improvement. Keywords: inhalation instructions, community cooperative program, improved respiratory function

H-P-40 HYPERTENSION AND PROTEINURIA AS PREDICTIVE FACTORS OF EFFECT OF BEVACIZUMAB IN ADVANCED BREST CANCER IN JAPAN Hiroaki Tanaka, Koichi Takahashi, Kazunori Yamaguchi, Takahiro Motoki, Masato Asakura, Daisaku Mizuoka, Shinji Kosaka, Hitoshi Houchi Department of Pharmacy, Kagawa University Hospital, Japan Background Bevacizumab (BV), an inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), is used in combination with paclitaxel (PTX) for the treatment of inoperable, advanced, or recurrent breast cancer. Hypertension and proteinuria are known adverse events characteristic of BV therapy, with an incidence of hypertension of 17.9% and proteinuria of 10.5% in a clinical study. Patients and methods of 17 patients with breast cancer who received BV in combination with PTX, at Kagawa University Hospital within the time period from May 2012 to May 2015, and who had not previously received BV, 13 patients were studied. Four patients who received BV as part of their adjuvant chemotherapy were excluded. Progression free survival (PFS), age, hypertension and proteinuria grades, treatment lines, presence or absence of hormone receptors, and positive or negative HER2 status, were retrospectively assessed by reviewing electric medical records. To assess the potential of the adverse events as a predictive marker, period studied was 8 weeks after the initiation of treatment, i.e, from baseline to the end of the second course of anticancer therapy. Results and Discussion Simple regression analysis revealed a significant association of grades of hypertension and proteinuria with PFS (P>0.05). In patients who experienced hypertension or proteinuria, PFS was significantly prolonged as compared with those without the adverse events (P=0.015). Our study suggests the development of hypertension or proteinuria is associated with improved PFS, perhaps indicating their potential as a biomarker for therapeutic benefit of BV.

Department of Pharmacy, National Cheng Kung University Hospital, Tainan, Taiwan Institute of Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan

Objective: We examined the effects of pill burden and complexity on medication adherence and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients with chronic conditions. Methods: This study was conducted among patients aged ≥ 20 with polypharmacy (medications ≥ 6) between 2015/6/1-2016/5/31. Medication profiles were extracted from PharmaCloud to estimate medication persistence ratio (MPR) and medication regimen complexity index (MRCI). Medication adherence and HRQoL were assessed by the eight-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) and EQ-5D, respectively. The MMAS-8 scores > 6, 6-7, and =8 indicate low, medium, and high adherence, respectively. Results: Sixty-eight patients who took 9.69 (±3.33) medications participated in the study. As compared to those with better HRQoL (EQ-5D descriptive score ≥ 75), patients who had relatively poor HRQoL (EQ-5D < 75) took more pills (pills for two groups: 10.59±3.69 vs. 8.89±32.78, p=0.03) with more medication complexity (MRCI: 25.22±9.96). However, patients taking ≥ 9 pills with high medication complexity (MRCI: 27.66±8.80) had relatively better medication adherence as compared to those with pills < 9 with mean MRCI of 16.24±3.61 (MMAS for two groups: 7.34 vs. 7.03, p=0.25). This may be because high disease susceptibility (reflected by more pills) led to better adherence. Patients who needed caregivers had lower HRQoL (EQ-5D: 70.42±13.82) but had better medication adherence as compared to those without caregivers (MMAS-8 for two groups: 7.67±1.34 vs. 6.97±1.39, p=0.01). Conclusion: Pill burden and complexity appear to be associated with low HRQoL but better medication adherence. Caregivers’ assistance may improve patients’ medication adherence, especially for those with poor HRQoL. Keywords: pill burden, medication complexity, medication adherence, health-related quality of life

This research aimed to explore the prevalence of SULT1A1 gene copy numbers variations in larger numbers of Thai breast cancer patients undergoing TAM treatment. Patients and Methods: 134 Thai breast cancer patients from Thai Tamoxifen Project were selected to join this research. Individual DNA was extracted for SULT1A1 gene copy numbers variations and subsequently determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction with TaqManÂŽ Drug Metabolism Copy Number Assay Sets with StepOnePlusÂŽ real-time PCR and Vii7 software (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Results: Mean age of this patient group was 51.6 (SD 11.6) years covering from stage 0 to stage IV breast cancer. Most of Thai breast cancer patients (96.3%) in this study were carrying two copies of SULT1A1 gene while the rest of them were carrying one copy (1 patient) and three copies (4 patients) of SULT1A1 gene. Conclusions: The majority of Thai breast cancer patients undergoing TAM treatment were carrying two copies of SULT1A1 gene which corresponded with the prevalence that was reported in Caucasians. Keywords: SULT1A1, copy number, tamoxifen, breast cancer, prevalence, Thai, pharmacogenetics, pharmacogenomics

H-P-43 INPATIENT MEDICATION DELIVERY SATISFACTION SURVEY AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Shu-Wen Kang, Jing-Yi Huang, Wan-Yu Li, Meng-Chiao Lin St. Joseph’s Hospital, Department of Pharmacy, Yunlin County, Taiwan Aim: To ensure the quality and safety of medication use, an Inpatient Medication Delivery Satisfaction Survey is conducted in hospital every year. This survey is a practical reference index to improve the quality and safety of inpatient medications delivery. Methods: From January 4th to 12th 2016, a survey was conducted in 8 departments. 130 questionnaires were given out, 124 were returned. The response rate was 95.4 %. All questionnaires were assessed by 5-point Likert-scale and analyzed by SPSS 19.0 computer software. Results: The calculation of the Cronbach's α value for this questionnaire was 0.911. The outcome of the statistical analysis shows that the average percentage of “very satisfied”, “satisfied” and “neutral” was 94.75 %, which was higher than 93.72 % in 2015. On the other hand, the average percentage of “unsatisfied”and “very unsatisfied” was 3.80 %, lower than 5.97 % in 2015. Discussion: The dissatisfaction occurs mainly at night when pharmacists on duty are busy supplying medications for outpatients. Hence proper night shift personnel allocation and communication may resolve this problem. Due to the dispensing and dispatching time are the main contributing factors for the delay of drug delivery. Hence, with further enhancement of the barcode system in the future, it would be possible to know when the medication is dispensed and dispatched, therefore to determine the cause of any delay. Keywords: questionnaire, medication delivery satisfaction survey

H-P-44 USING HEALTHCARE FAILURE MODE AND EFFECT ANALYSIS TO REDUCE DISPENSING ERRORS BY A SOLE PHARMACIST IN THE HOSPITAL PHARMACY Jinru Chuang, Chengying Hsieh, Peiling Tsai, Yipin Chen Department of Pharmacy, National Taiwan University Hospital Yun-Lin Branch, Taiwan In this study, Healthcare Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (HFMEA) is applied to reduce the incidence of dispensing errors during the dispensing process from a sole pharmacist in the hospital pharmacy. A sole pharmacist has higher risk of dispensing errors compared with two or more pharmacists present at one time. The most common factors affecting the error are to do with being busier than normal or interruptions (telephone interruption, query from member of staff, etc.). We used HFMEA to check the dispensing procedures, graphically describing the process, and conducting a hazard analysis. The results showed that it was a high risk dispensing process by a sole pharmacist. 38 failure modes and 61 potential failure causes are identified. Several strategies were determined for prevent the potential dispensing errors during the sole pharmacist dispensed in the hospital pharmacy, such as the automated drug dispensing machines system, the establishment of the verification process and 4 ways to develop the right attitude towards dispensing prescriptions et al. In the pre– and post–strategic actions implementation periods, the hazard score were decreased from 230 to 199.The overall rates of dispensing errors were decreased from 610.4ppm to 406.1ppm. According to the above study, we would suggest: the automation and computerization of drug dispensing are important tools for reducing dispensing error rates. The dispensing error reports were transformed into teaching materials to educate the sole pharmacist. Moreover, pharmacist s’ attitude should be developed and the new checking procedures practiced by a sole pharmacist should be established.

H-P-45 DRUG UTILIZATION STUDY OF ORAL HYPOGLYCEMIC AGENTS IN AN OUTPATIENT PHARMACY DEPARTMENT OF A TERTIARY HOSPITAL, MALAYSIA Suresh Shanmugham, The Shia Yeng, Nurul Suhaida, Suresh Kumar Faculty of Pharmacy, International Medical University Drug utilization research is an impressive investigative tool to govern the role of medications in healthcare system. It assists any healthcare decision by providing socio-medical and health economic basis. Moreover, it supports healthcare system to know, interpret, advance prescription, management and usage of medications. Internationally, diabetes mellitus is considered as one among the predominant, chronic, non-communicable health conditions distressing humanity. In Malaysia, occurrence of diabetes mellitus in adult population is alarming as per national health and morbidity survey (NHMS) and recent studies. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prescribing trends, utilization pattern, and its implications of oral hypoglycemic agents (OHA) in a tertiary care hospital setting. In continuation to our previously reported work, this retrospective study randomly collected the prescriptions containing OHA’s for 6 months in outpatient pharmacy department of a tertiary care hospital. Patient’s demographic data, pattern of drug use and trends in treatment modality were retrieved and analyzed. The study found that 59.61% patients were male. The mean age of diabetic outpatient visits was between 56 and 58 years old. Metformin (77%) was the most widely used OHA, followed by gliclazide (52.11%). 59.06% of total prescriptions were polytherapy whereas OHA monotherapy constituted 40.94% and was dominated by either metformin or gliclazide. Metformin was indeed the most widely used OHA and followed by gliclazide. Similarly the prescribing tendencies in managing Type-2 diabetes mellitus had shifted towards combination treatment.

H-P-46 EFFECTS AND ITS EVALUATION OF PROTOCOL-BASED PHARMACOTHERAPY MANAGEMENT ON THE APPILICABILITY OF INFLUENZA VACCINATION Koji Masuda, Kurimi Kase, Tatsuya Isezaki, Ryohkan Funakoshi Department of Pharmacy services, Kameda Medical Center In 2010, in Japan, the Health Policy Bureau of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare issued a notification on applicable measures under the current laws to promote multidisciplinary activities. One of them is protocol-based pharmacotherapy management (PBPM), in which pharmacists develop protocols in collaboration with physicians and other medical professionals and proactively participate in pharmacotherapy. We introduced PBPM for pharmacist-led decision-making on the applicability of influenza vaccination and evaluated its effects. The results are reported herein. In October 2014, PBPM was introduced for application in patients admitted to receive chemotherapy for blood cancer. Those admitted between October 2013 and February 2014 were included in the pre-PBPM group, and those admitted between October 2014 and February 2015 or between October 2015 and February 2016 were included in the post-PBPM group. The observation measures included vaccination rate, influenza incidence rate, all-cause mortality, and incidence rate of influenza-like illness. To assess the safety of PBPM, incidence rates of adverse events were compared between patients vaccinated on the basis of decisions made by pharmacists according to PBPM and those are vaccinated by physicians during 2014 and 2015. Although vaccination rate improved after the introduction of PBPM, no clear differences were observed in any other parameter. The introduction of PBPM for vaccination improved the vaccination rate. It was also suggested that PBPM might allow pharmacists to safely decide whether vaccination is applicable or not. Keywords: influenza, vaccine, pharmacist-led

H-P-47 THE EFFICACY OF COLOR PRINTING IN REDUCING THE RATIO OF DISPENSING ERROR IN EMERGENCY PHARMACY Chung-Yu Lin, Chiu-Mei Lee, Rung-Wei Zhang, Shih-Lun Shang Department of Pharmacy, Tungs' Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan. Taichung County Pharmacist Association, Taiwan. Background As we know, ER is the first medical environment to provide emergent and intensive care for patients. Besides rapid diagnoses and competent treatments, patients and nurses expect the pharmacists to dispense quickly and accurately. However, our retrospective study indicated the ratio of dispensing error in ER pharmacy was 0.0572% which was higher than our KPI: 0.03%. Therefore, we tried to decrease the ratio by QCC concept. Method On 80/20 principle of the Pareto diagram, we identified the major dispensing error types of emergency prescriptions were look-like/sound-like error, formulation error, dosage error and quantity error. In these four aspects, we illustrated cause-and-effect diagram to find 12 main reasons and verify 6 root causes. Most root causes were dispensing wrong drug, therefore, we intended to redesign the emergency prescription format and print colorfully. Result After redesigning the ER prescription format and printing colorful drug picture on it, the ratio of dispensing error declined from 0.0572% to 0.0188%. The degree of reduction was 67.13%. Additionally, the major dispensing error type was quantity error instead of dispensing wrong drug error which wasn’t made ever after improvement. Discussion In our QCC activity, the colorful drug picture printed on ER prescriptions could let the pharmacist confirm if they dispense correctly and reduced the ratio of dispensing error effectively. In the next step, we will analyze the type of quantity error and design a computer program to prevent making errors. Keywords: QCC, dispensing error, emergency pharmacy

H-P-48 AGE ASSOCIATED WITH OVERTHERAPEUTIC RANGE IN ADULT RECEIVING VANCOMYCIN Su-chen yen Department of Pharmacy, Tungs' Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital,Taichung, Taiwan. Taichung County Pharmacist Association, Taiwan. Purpose: A published guideline by the American Society Health- System Pharmacists, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists recommended to achieve clinical efficacy and prevent the emergence of resistance, the maintaining trough concentrations of vancomycin should being above 10 mg/ L and targeting trough concentrations of 15 to 20 mg/L in complicated MRSA infections. However, for elderly patients, vancomycin over the therapeutic range is not uncommon even if creatinine is within normal range. Methods: The dosing schedule of vancomycin was according to actual body weight and renal function. The trough level of vancomycin was evaluated if sampling time within 30min before next dose and in the steady- state. Results: A total of 39 patients were analyzed. No. of all patients older than 65 years is 23, which trough level below 10 mg/ L is zero and above 20mg/L is 13 patients. The percentage of over therapeutics range is 56% (13/23) in this elderly population. Correspondingly, no. of all patients younger than 65 years is 16, which trough level below 10 mg/L is 7 and above 20mg/L is 6 patients. The percentage of over therapeutics range is 37. 5% ( 6/ 16) in this younger population. The risk of vancomycin over therapeutics range for elderly is one and a half than the younger population found in this study. Conclusion: Monitoring of trough levels is not necessary for all patients, only those at risk of over therapeutics range. If patient’ s age more than 65 years with long- term vancomycin treatment, trough level should be obtained necessarily. Keywords: vancomycin, trough level, MRSA

They commonly result from errors in the process of physician’ s order, dispensing, or administration. The aim of this study was to assess outcomes of pharmaceutical care service by a clinical pharmacist. Methods: This prospective study was conducted from December 2015 to April 2016. One pharmacist collaborated with other health care professionals on a medical ward at HRH Princess MahaChakriSirindhorn Medical Center, Thailand. The pharmacist provided pharmaceutical care as follows; (1) detecting and solving DRPs ; ( 2) performing inpatient medication reconciliations; ( 3) monitoring adverse drug reactions; ( 4) providing drug information service; and ( 5) discharge counseling. Results: Eighty- seven potential DRPs were found. Seventy- seven percent ( n= 67) of the DRPs were prevented and resolved. Seven adverse drug reactions out of 27 ( 26% ) were serious drug reactions and required treatments. OtherDRPs were need for additional drug therapy (n=16),drug-interaction (n=11), and dosage too high (n=8). There were 51 drug information services. Common drug queries were dosages and administrations, adverse effects, and drug compatibility. Other tasks were extemporaneous medicines, etc. Doctors disagreed with pharmacist’s suggestion among 23% of DRPs. Conclusion: This study illustrates that a clinical pharmacist on the ward could prevent and solve DRPs in a teaching hospital. This would improve the quality of care and save both direct and indirect costs. Regarding a high number of encountered DRPs, the process of pharmacy service on the ward is required to develop in the future to improve efficacy and safety of care in patients.

Background: Potentially inappropriate medication ( PIM) use is a major healthcare issue especially in aging society. To improve prescribing among elderly, we instituted a medicationspecific warning system within CPOE, which can provide real- time alerts to prescribers. Objective: Our study aimed to the impact of these alerts in CPOE on ordering changing pattern. Methods: 16 PIMs due to drug- disease interaction were integrated into CPOE, based on our study finding the most common PIMs in our hospital 2013, using Beers, STOPP, PIMTAIWAN criteria. We compared rates of ordering before the alerts (January 2014 to June 2014) and after the alerts were implemented in July 2014 through December 2015. Pharmacist assess and record prescribers’ responses to the warning individually. Results: During the 18- month intervention period, 1794 warnings for 14 different drugs were triggered by PIM prescribing in 65 years and older. Among these not recommended drugs, 56.7% (1013/1794) were dropped and change to suggestion drugs. In pre- post comparisons, the rate of prescribing not recommended drugs weaning by 7.4% (from 50.7% to 43.3%). Conclusions: Specific alerts embedded into a CPOE system in elderly can be effectively avoided PIM prescribing.

Introduction: Ritodrine is a uterine tocolytic agent as beta agonist for preterm labor. In 2013, European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended the short acting beta agonists must be use in short- term, maximum 48 hours. However, in Japan long- term, over 48 hours, treatment is widely used. The EMA recommendation was informed to physicians by pharmacist. Purpose: The efficacy and safety of ritodrine by comparing with before and after Drug Information (DI) provision were evaluated retrospectively. Methods: Women who treated with ritodorine for preterm labor from November 2012 to December 2014 were included in this single- centered retrospective study. It was divided into two group before ( B, from November 2012 to November 2013) and after ( A, from December 2013 to December 2014) DI provision. Frequency of side effects as a primary endpoint, and the rate of use in long-term as a secondary endpoint were compared with two groups. The statistical analysis was used chi- squared test and set p < 0 . 05 to be significantly different. Results: 55 patients, 27 in B and 28 in A given ritodrine for preterm labor were included in this study. Frequency of side effects were 48. 1% and 35.7% in B and A (p=0.35). The rate of use in long-term was 81.5% and 46.4% in B and A( p= 0. 0069) . Conclusions: Providing DI by pharmacist made physicians conscious about using ritodrine, and it may make a contribution to the efficacy and safety of using ritodrine. It suggested that provision of DI by pharmacist lead to the patient safety by encouraging behavior change of physicians.

Chemotherapy combinations with higher incidences include those that involve platinum drugs and taxanes. Purpose Because there is no relevant guideline for the prevention from oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy, this study aims to investigate influential factors of oxaliplatin- induced neuropathy in order to provide information on clinical treatment and post-treatment care. Methods This retrospective study is conducted among those patients who receive oxaliplatin for treatment of colorectal cancer from January to May 2015 in a medical center in southern Taiwan. The data are processed and analyzed by SPSS 22.0 and explained with descriptive statistics as well as inferential statistics of Chi- Square Test, T- Test, Logistic Regression. Results There were 536 patients receiving oxaliplatin infusions from January to May in 2015. One hundred ninty patients suffered from neuropathy (35.4%).The proportion of those who suffer from oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy doesn’t show statistically significant difference (χ2=0.015,p=0.901) between male and female. By the t- test, the result indicates the average age between those who suffer from neuropathy and who don’t is significantly different(p=0.028). Furthermore, through the logistic regression, this study finds the significant predictor for neuropathy was age (OR=1.019; 95% CI: 1.0031. 035;p= 0. 018) . Conclusions This study reveals that there is no statistically significant correlation between oxaliplatin- induced neuropathy and gender. However, age may increase the incidence of oxaliplatin- induced neuropathy. The findings provide information that we should pay more attention to the elderly patients who receive oxaliplatin and give them some drugs to stabilize nervous system if necessary.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and report a case of elevated international normalized ratio ( INR) in a patient taking chlorophyll extracted juice. Drug- Supplement interactions between warfarin and chlorophyll extracted juice have been reported but there was no clear evidence-supporting such interactions. The case study could be used as one of the fundamental practice guidelines to show the effect of interaction. The case summary, 58- year-old Thai man taking warfarin for prophylaxis blood clots after heart valve replacement. He took warfarin 17. 5 mg total weekly dose and controlled INR into therapeutic range. This regular visit, he came to the warfarin clinic for followed up INR. The INR changed from 2.99 to 1.30. He forgot to took warfarin one time for last week and some chlorophyll extracted juice about 50 millimeters for one months that no other factors affect to INR. This visit the patient confirmed to continue drinking chollophyll extract. So, physician increased warfarin doses to 21 milligrams per week. One month later, he came to hospital for checked up INR and INR value were 1. 68. The mechanism of interaction showed that vitamin K1 ( phylloquinone) from chlorophyll extracted juice is an antidote for warfarin, resulting in a decrease in INR. However, other factors such as patient compliance and/ or drug- drug interactions can change the INR. Therefore, pharmacists have to take into consideration and continuously monitor the INR in patients who receive warfarin. Keywords: warfarin, chlorophyll, interaction

Introduction: In 2011, annual HbA1C test policy was implemented to monitor disease progression in type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM) patients. However, disparity in accessing to this test may exist among patients with different health insurance schemes. The objectives of this study were to identify factors associated with receiving annual HbA1C test and assess the effect of this policy. Methods: T2DM patients who received out-patient care during 2009-2011 were identified with ICD10 code ( E11X) and HbA1C test results were also retrieved from hospital database. Multilevel logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with annual HbA1C test provided and assess the effect of annual HbA1C test policy. Results: Of 4,289 T2DM patients identified, 42. 53% , 43. 44% and 46. 21% of patients received annual HbA1C test from 2009 through 2011 respectively. Female patients, patients with civil servant benefit scheme, and patients with comorbidities were more likely to receive HbA1C test than male patients, those with other insurance schemes, and those without comorbidity, respectively (95% CI of OR = 1.07-1.62, p < 0 .01, 95% CI of OR = 1.56-2.69, and 95% CI of OR = 2.864.87, respectively, all p < 0 .001). After annual HbA1C test policy was implemented, T2DM patients were 1.52 times likely to receive HbA1C test than before (95% CI of OR=1.31-1.76, p < 0 .001). Conclusion: T2DM patients were more likely to receive annual HbA1C test after the policy was implemented. However, different access to this test among gender, health insurance schemes and comorbidities still exists. Healthcare professional should be reminded to assure that all T2DM patients receive an annual HbA1C test. Keywords: annual hba1c test policy, disparity, longitudinal study

According to the population data, Taiwan has become an aging society. Incidences of chronic and degenerative diseases are increased in elders, and as a result, the adherence of medicine is very important for these patients. In order to increase the speed and convenience of refill prescription, we provide prepared medicine service for patients to refill their prescriptions. However, we found out 19. 24% of those who had reserved didn’ t come back to refill their prescription in March 2015, thus they may suffer from inadequate treatment. We applied problem- solving Quality Control Circle ( QCC) to improve refilling rate in 2015. 3- 2015. 10. Through brainstorming and discussion, we found out the problems and solved them. First, we established a counter for people who had reserved prepared medicine service. According to the questionnaire, some pharmacists and nurses of out-patient department didn’t know how to refill prescription. To improve this situation, we established an operation manual and educated them. Simultaneously, we created a poster to introduce the reserved service of refillable prescription and steps to refill medicine in the waiting area in the pharmacy. Then, we conducted a health seminar to teach people the safety of medication and how to refill prescription. After activity, we gave them a 7 days pill-box to help them take their medicine on time. After our effort, the non- refill rate was decreased by 14. 23% ( 2015. 10) and 12. 42% ( 2016. 04) by continuous improvement. As a result, the application of QCC activity can decrease the non-refill rate and further improve the safety of medicine. Keywords: refillable prescription, quality control circle

H-P-69 MEDICATION RECONCILIATION BY PHARMACLOUD TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE PATIENT SAFETY Chieh-yu Liao, Ming-Fen Wu, Ying-Mei Liu, Wen-Shyong Liou, Chieh-yu Liao Department of Pharmacy, Taichung Veteran General Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan The significant number of people receiving multiple medications and the complexity of managing make medication reconciliation an important safety issue. However, the most difficulty is the lack of a reliable source to gather patient’s complete and accurate medication. Recently in Taiwan, the National Health Insurance promotes a system provides the patient’ s recent medication usage data for past three months electronically through cloud technology with health insurance card ( PharmaCloud) . Medication information was collected easily and assessed with the system. A 1514- bed hospital, located in the central part of Taiwan, applies PharmaCloud technology to develop comprehensively approaches includes novel information technology: timeline system and screening medication omission program, pharmacists and patient consultation before admission and medication reconciliation after admission. From September 2014 to May 2016, pharmacists used the PharmaCloud technology system to interview 10480 newly admitted patients to reconcile their medications, an average of 499 patients per month. Pre-admission adverse drug events (ADEs) documented during pharmacist consultation is mainly duplicate medication ( 1. 9% of total patients) . After admission pharmacists performed 356 patients’ medication reconciliation in average per month. About 8. 3% of patient had ADEs documented and the most common reported was the medication omission ( 5. 1% ) , followed by inappropriate dose ( 0. 9% ) , duplicate medication ( 0. 6% ) , inappropriate frequency (0.6%), inappropriate use (0.5%), inappropriate dosage form (0.1%) and others (0.4%). The physician acceptance rate for pharmacist ADEs recommendation was 74. 9% in average. The implementation of PharmaCloud technology and medication reconciliation conducted by pharmacist may detect ADEs early and reduce the risk of harm to improve patient-centered safety.

H-P-70 A PROSPECTIVE STUDY ON ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS IN HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS. ADR MANAGEMENT - AN EMERGING ROLE FOR A CLINICAL PHARMACIST Anusha Bompelli, Jayapal Reddy Thumma, Swathi Yerram St. Peter's Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Vidyanagar, Hanamkonda, Warangal 506001, Telangana, India Adverse drug reactions ( ADRs) in an individual can be the reason for hospitalization or can occur during a hospital stay. The ADRs are usually dose related, due to allergy or idiosyncratic in nature and the mechanism leading to an ADR can be either pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic or mixed. Patients admitted in the hospital were assessed and followed for ADRs. 313 ADRs were identified in a period of 10 months and the ADRs were analyzed for avoidability. Out of 313 ADRs, 62. 6% of ADRs were seen in female patients and 37. 4% in male patients. 36-44 years’ age group were found to develop 17.9% ADRs followed by 18-26 years’, 54-62 years with 14.7%. The ADRs in general medicine department were found to be of 33.5% followed by cardiology (12.9%) and Psychiatry (12.5%). The fate of suspected drug was found to be withdrawn in 57. 8% patients, no change in 30% and dose altered in 12. 1% . The treatment given was symptomatic in 43. 5% , Nil in 33. 5% and specific in 23% patients. Majority of the ADRs are pharmacodynamic in nature. Over a half percent of the ADRs are definitely avoidable or preventable. The major strategy in reducing the burden of ADRs would be through therapy management, ADR avoidability, identification, and management by a clinical pharmacist thus improving the therapeutic outcome and quality of life in patients.

Introduction: Hemodialysis patients are at risk of complicated comorbidities. They frequently have medical issues that should be addressed to provide an appropriate treatment immediately. Pharmacist is one of the important members of patient care team in determining and resolving drug related problems ( DRPs) . Methods: A cross- sectional study was performed at SDMC Hemodialysis Unit from January to December 2015. Every 6 week, pharmacists reviewed patients’ current medication records and laboratory results. Feedbacks and suggestions were given to physicians and patients to optimize the pharmaceutical therapies. Results: A total of 48 hemodialysis patients were included. About 58. 3% were women with the average age of 71. 6 ± 12. 0 years. Average medicine usage per patient was 16. 2 ± 4. 5 items ( range 8- 29) . Among 315 encounters, 206 DRPs were detected. The average (median) number of DRPs for each patient was 3 (range 0-19). The common DRPs founded were noncompliance (43.2%), dosage too high (18.9%) and need for additional drug therapy (15.5%). The top 3 drugs that contributed to DRPs were calcium carbonate ( 14. 1% ) , sodium bicarbonate ( 12. 6% ) and erythropoietin (8. 7%). The acceptance for modification was 96.1%. Interestingly, we found that 2 patients took an expired medicine and 1 patient stored medicine under inappropriate condition which may decrease efficacy and increase toxicity of the drugs. Conclusions: DRPs can be found commonly among hemodialysis patients. Pharmacist as one of the multidisciplinary team members should be a key person involving in DRPs management to improve medication usage and treatment outcomes.

H-P-76 LABEL INSTRUCTIONS THAT MEET THE NEEDS OF PATIENTS WHO ARE AT HIGH RISK OF MISUNDERSTANDING Mei Ju Chien, Tina Yun-Ting Pan, Yi Zu Wang Department of Pharmacy, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, New Taipei City, Taiwan (R.O.C.) Purpose: To help patients understand dosage instructions, the medication label at our medical center contains enlarged traditional Chinese letters of 14 points and pictorial icons. The aim of this study is to evaluate the current dosage instructions, collate information on patient preferences and develop the patient centered optimum service. Methods: Patients who are at high risk of misunderstanding prescription label ( the elderly, limited literacy or those with vision impairment) were eligible to participate. If patients cannot correctly interpret the prescription label and pictorial icons, one of the pharmacists discussed with patients on their individual preferences. Patients’ interpretation of the new modified label instructions were then checked by another independent pharmacist. If label modifications allowed patients to understand how to take their medications, this data were collected. Results: 74 patients were recruited. Of these patients, 52.9% needed the label written in larger font ; 41.2% wanted label to be modified based on patient preferences; 5.9% can understand the pictorial icons. In these three methods, elderly patients have no particular preference (p=0.269). Patients with limited literacy preferred instructions to be written in a simple and clear format using arabic numerals. Patients with vision impairment preferred to be written in larger font: approximately 36 points( r= + 0. 677,p= 0. 0001) . Conclusion: This study does not support the use of pictorial icons. Efforts to improve label format include the use of larger font and numeric presentation. Pharmacist should be proactive to evaluate patients’ preferences for the medication label, individualize the label according to their needs and provide a friendly environment for patient counseling.

H-P-78 MULTIFACETED APPROACH TO ENHANCE THE ACCURACY OF DISPENSING AT A MEDICAL CENTER WITH HIGH PRESCRIPTION VOLUME Tzu-Hui Yeh, Tina Yun-Ting Pan Department of Pharmacy Far Eastern Memorial Hospital. No.21, Sec. 2, Nanya S. Rd., Banciao Dist., New Taipei City 220, Taiwan (R.O.C.) Objective: At our medical center, the outpatient pharmacy has a high prescription volume (50 prescriptions / hr / person) . “ Tall man letters” are used on the medication labels as recommended by the Institute of Safe Medication Practices to prevent dispensing errors. However, this approach is unsuccessful with medications with multiple strengths as they have the same generic/trade name and similar packaging. Other interventions are required to ensure easier verification of medications in a busy setting for pharmacists from a non-English speaking background. Methods: The dispensing quality control team implemented several strategies to promote accurate dispensing. For medications with multiple strengths produced by the same manufacturer, the color of the packaging is emphasized on the label in Chinese. For medications with multiple strengths or formulations, ancillary labels are used to identify medications. Brightly colored stickers with the strength of the medication are affixed onto the blisters. Results: Newly designed medication label were implemented for many of the medications on the formulary: 23 items emphasized the color of the packaging for medications with multiple strengths in Chinese, 109 items with reminders for formulation, 47 items are labeled using “ tall- man letters” . The new approach reduced the overall outpatient drug dispensing errors from 0.012% from 2012 to 0.006% in 2015. Conclusion: The novel strategies were highly successful in preventing dispensing error. In the future for medications added to the hospital formulary, these strategies will be applied and advocated at the monthly department meetings. Keywords: dispensing error, high prescription volume

H-P-79 BORTEZOMIB-BASED THERAPY COMBINED WITH HIGH CUTOFF HEMODIALYSIS FOR A PATIENT NEWLY DIAGNOSED WITH MULTIPLE MYELOMA: A CASE REPORT Tzu Hsuan Ko, Tzu-Hui Yeh, Ming-Shya Wang, Shu-Hui Sun Department of pharmacy, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital No.21, Sec. 2, Nanya S. Rd., Banciao Dist., New Taipei City 220, Taiwan Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is associated with excessive production of lambda light chains ( FLCs) that infiltrates kidney tubules, leads to renal insufficiency and adversely influences patient prognosis. Traditional hemodialysis is minimally effective to remove FLCs. However, high cut-off hemodialysis (HCO-HD) is a novel technology which is now available to remove FLCs. Past literature also demonstrated that bortezomib- based therapy can also improve renal function. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether HCO- HD combined with lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (RVD) therapy was effective to minimize renal injury in a patient with MM. Case Report: This is a case of a 70 year- old male newly diagnosed with lambda FLC type of MM who presented with acute renal failure. Patient received 3-week cycles of standard RVD chemotherapy: bortezomib 1.3 mg/m 2 (days 1, 4, 8, 11) , lenalidomide 5 mg ( days 1- 14) , and dexamethasone 20 mg ( days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8,9, 11, 12) . This is combined with nine HCO-HD sessions to remove lamda FLC. The dose of lenalidomide was adjusted similar to hemodialysis patients. The combination of RVD treatment and HCOHD led to his lambda FLC serum level was decreased from 4129 to 27. 14 mg/ L and serum creatinine levels decreased from 13. 5 mg/ dL to 8. 93 mg/ dL. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the combination of HCO- HD with RVD therapy is highly effective in the removal of FLC, which in turn improve renal function and patient outcomes in patients newly diagnosed with MM.

Department of Pharmacy, Show Chwan Memorial Hospital, Changhua County, Taiwan Department of Pharmacy, Chang Bing Show Chwan Memorial Hospital, Changhua County, Taiwan

The optimization of antibiotic use to combat infectious disease and to reduce antibiotic resistance is a global issue. Evidence has shown that antibiotic stewardship programs ( ASPs) can improve patient outcome, in addition to reduce healthcare- associated infections. We described the preliminary outcome of a collaborative ASP with pharmacist intervention at a community teaching hospital. We developed an ASP in 2014 led by a collaborative multidisciplinary team consisting of infectious disease specialists, clinical pharmacists, clinical microbiologists, infection control nurses and pharmacy informatics. The clinical pharmacists are responsible of auditing antibiotic therapy concurrently beginning in July 2014, using a computer- generated patient list. To measure the utilization of antibiotics, defined daily doses per 1,000 patient days are calculated monthly. A total of 9,069 antibiotic prescriptions were reviewed. Among these prescriptions, 71. 3% ( 6,492 prescriptions) were reviewed within 24 hours. 673 prescriptions were considered inappropriate ( 10. 2% ) and interventions were recommended by clinical pharmacists. The most common interventions were dose optimization (35.9%), discontinuation/change antibiotic class due to unclear indication and/or violation of guideline of empirical therapy (28.1%), de-escalation/discontinuation (10.7%). Glycopeptides utilization decreased by 16. 7% ( glycopeptide DDD mean 8. 4 vs 7. 0) . Pharmacists play an important role in ASP, which has a positive effect on antibiotic prescribing, reducing utilization of antibiotics. Creation of a system- supported prescribing guideline may be important to prospectively optimize antibiotic use. Keywords: antibiotics, pharmacist, infectious disease

H-P-81 THROMBOCYTOPENIA INDUCED BY THE COMBINATION THERAPY OF VALPROATE AND LAMOTRIGINE Chi-Hua Chen1, Hui-Hsia Hsieh1, Tien-Yuan Wu2 1

Department of Pharmacy, Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital, Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation 2 Department of Pharmacology, Tzu Chi University; Department of Pharmacy, Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital, Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation Background: The possibility of drug- induced thrombocytopenia ( DITP) is considered as an unexpected problem, especially in- hospital- patient. DITP may be caused by several mechanisms such as direct bone marrow suppression or indirect organ toxicities. Valproate and lamotrigine are commonly used anticonvulsants combination with known hematological and liver toxicities, which are doses or plasma concentration dependent. Case:A 57-year-old male was diagnosed as an acute ischemic stroke treated on April 3, 2016. Valproate 800mg was given by orally three times a day. However, he developed thrombocytopenia when lamotrigine 50mg orally was added to become a combination regime. Initial blood and biochemistry survey showed hemoglobin 9.6 g/dl, platelet count 45,000/uL, and serum creatinine 0.8 mg/dl. Plasma valproate level was 87. 7 ug/ ml. Valproate which was withdrawal was considered as the drug induced thrombocytopenia. The platelet count increased ( 172,000 / uL) after valproate discharged. Discussion:Thrombocytopenia is one of the most common side effects associated with valproate therapy. However, the exact mechanism of valproate- associated thrombocytopenia is still unclear. Kishi et al have shown that a high serum concentration of valproate is associated with bone marrow suppression. After withdrawal of valproate, the platelet count was return to normal levels immediately. Lamotrigine may have synegestic effects with valproate, enhanced thrombocytopenia. Conclusion: A precise pathophysiologic understanding of valproate and lamotrigine induced thrombocytopenia is still lacking, and further studies are required. Monitoring of platelet counts regularly is necessary in such combination therapy to prevent drug-drug interactions. Keywords: thrombocytopenia; valproate, lamotrigine

H-P-87 ASSESSMENT OF DRUG-DRUG INTERACTIONS IN TREATMENT CHARTS OF HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS Mary Prasanna Kumari, Mahendra kumar Jayappa Bettur, Venkata Narayana T, Suma Latha G Faculty of Pharmacy, Vikas Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences,Rajahmundry 533103, India Introduction: DDI’ s is related to the possibility of a drug to alter the effect of another drug administers simultaneously. There are three possible outcomes when DDI’ s occur, one drug may intensify the effects of the other, one drug may reduce the effects of the other and the combination may produce a new response which is not seen when either of the drug is given alone. DDI’s are widely predictable and thus avoidable and managed. Objective: The objective of the present prospective study is to evaluate DDI’ s in the medication charts of inpatients of Super Speciality Hospital, Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, India. Methodology: This study was conducted at Super Speciality Hospital, Rajahmundry. Between April and September 2015 patients admitted in the Super Speciality Hospital were included in the study. Nearly data of 195 patients were collected which include case history, past medical history, laboratory values ,and drugs prescribed with their doses and frequency of administration were collected and subjected to DDI’ s analysis by using CIMS, ( central information of medical speciality) , Medscape, Micromedex, Drugs. com. Results and Discussion: During the six months study period a total of 195 patients were enrolled out of which 130 DDI” s were identified. Among 130 DDI”s identified, 73 were major (56.30%) and 43 were moderate one were minor (33.07%) and 14 were contraindicated drugs ( 10. 60% ) . Conclusion: Hence there is a need of clinical pharmacist role in the management of DDI’ s; thereby one can prevent the adverse effects due to DDI’s to the patients.

H-P-88 A TRANSPLANT PATIENT WITH CRYPTOCOCCAL PULMONARY INFECTION- CASE REPORT Li-Ching Chien Department of pharmacy, E-DA Hospital, Kaohsiung city, Taiwan Transplant patients need to take large doses of immunosuppressive drugs, resulting in higher infection rates. The case suffered from acute kidney injury and received renal transplantation in 2014. The case used Tacrolimus, Mycophenolate mofetil and other immunosuppressant after surgery. FK level over the past year is about 7. 4, creatinine level is around 1. 1. Chest X- ray examination revealed a patch lesion over right upper lobe on 2016/ 04/ 08. CT scan favored granulomatous infection. Laboratory reports showed positive cryptococcal Ag ( 2X) . The recommended regimen for cryptococcal infection are amphotericin B, fluconazole, or flucytosine; the patient received fluconazole 400mg once daily. The interaction between the drugs raises concern for transplant patients using tacrolimus and fluconazole. After starting with fluconazole, although tacrolimus dose is tapered by one-third (6mg to 4mg), FK level still increased by 2- 3 times. Creatinine level increased to 1. 6. According to weekly dose adjustments and intensive monitoring of drug concentration, Tacrolimus was adjusted to 1. 5mg once daily currently, and the target concentration was maintained between 4- 8. Renal function already returned within normal ranges. Keywords: renal transplantation, drug-drug interaction, cryptococcal pulmonary infection

H-P-89 PHARMACIST INTERVENTION IN PREVENTING PRESCRIBING ERRORS –A SURVEY Mary Prasanna Kumari, Mahendra kumar Jayappa Bettur, Venkata Narayana T, Suma Latha G Faculty of Pharmacy, Vikas Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Rajahmundry 533103, India Background: A prescription is a health- care program implemented by a physician or other qualified practitioner in the form of instructions that govern the plan of care for an individual patient. Formerly, prescriptions often included detailed instructions regarding compounding of medications but as medications have increasingly become pre- packaged manufactured products, the term "prescription" now usually refers to an order that a pharmacist dispense and that a patient take certain medication. Aim and objective: To study non- compliance with Prescription writing requirements, Prescription errors and Pharmacist Intervention Methodology: The study was conducted in the community pharmacies for over a period of two months. The new Prescriptions were screened prospectively to assess non-compliance for one or more of the legal or the procedural requirements of prescription writing and was recorded in a standard data collection form and analysed for pharmacist intervention. Result: Of the 1200 prescriptions screened during the study, 90% had one or more of the legal or procedural requirements missing. These errors of omission are patient’ s age, gender, weight, dose, frequency, course prescribed. Errors of commission involved related to dosage form 5.8% and Polypharmacy 45% . Conclusion: The study shows a low compliance to the legal and procedural requirements for prescription writing and denotes significant scope to educate and emphasize the importance of writing clear and complete prescriptions to avoid medication related injuries, thus evidencing the need of constant evaluation of these events in order to prevent them and assure greater safety and success in the therapy. Keywords: prescription writing requirements, prescription errors, pharmacist intervention.

H-P-94 PHARMACIST INTERVENTION IN USELESS PRESCRIBING OF ANTIBIOTICS FOR COMMON COLD: ANTI-MICROBIAL RESISTANCE Mary Prasanna Kumari, Mahendra kumar Jayappa Bettur, Venkata Narayana T, Suma Latha G Faculty of Pharmacy, Vikas Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Rajahmundry 533103, India Introduction : The common cold is caused by viruses which cannot be helped by antibiotics and it has long been believed that antibiotics have no role in the treatment of common colds yet they are often prescribed in the belief that they may prevent secondary bacterial infections. Objective : The objective was to evaluate the antibiotics prescribed and assess the effects of antibiotics for the common cold Methodology: it was prospective, observational study conducted for a period a 9 months ( September to May 2016) in the general medicine department of the super speciality hospital, Rajahmundry . Andhra Pradesh, India Results and Discussion: Out of 600 prescriptions evaluated, 349 were of male and 251 were of female patients. Out of 600 prescriptions screened 600 ( 100% ) prescriptions were prescribed with Antibiotics along with symptomatic medications. The most common antibiotics prescribed were amoxicillin (39%), erythromycin (32%) azithromycin (19%). Antibiotics are medicines used to treat infections caused by bacteria. So there’s no point taking antibiotics to treat a cold or flu. It can also mean that they won’ t work when you really need them. This is called antibiotic resistance and it happens when bacteria are exposed to antibiotics and learn to resist them. Conclusion: This analysis of prescriptions, suggests that pre- scribing of symptomatic medications was to be frequent and that reduces antibiotic prescribing for patients with common cold . Hence there is a need of clinical pharmacist role in reducing Antimicrobial resistance. Keywords: screening, prescription, antibiotic drugs, ntimicrobial resistance

The goal of the study is to study a correlation of factors that influence the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs in essential hypertensive patients. 31 out of 954 patients who are currently treated at Burapha University Hospital, Chonburi during 2014-2015 were randomly sampling for home visit. We found 10 uncontrolled blood pressure patients and 21 controlled blood pressure ( < 1 40/ 90) patients. All of uncontrolled group patients treatment are monotherapy and the relationship between type of treatment and the average of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure among uncontrolled group patients with monotherapy are a significantly different from the controlled group with monotherapy (p = 0.002) and combination therapy (2 drugs, p < 0.01 and 3 drugs, p = 0.025) respectively. Salty food is a factor that showed the significantly difference of systolic blood pressure in controlled and uncontrolled of monotherapy group ( p = 0. 036) . Geographic information showed that patients with uncontrolled group are residential area around University Hospital which is urban society. Furthermore, Comparison average of disease onset between two groups who are having high blood pressure family history and patients who are not having family history showed the significantly difference ( p = 0. 006) . In summary, our research shows that patients with family history of hypertension have a tendency to be a disease earlier and uncontrolled patients require a repeat visit including changing monotherapy medication and eating less salt or using combination therapy.

H-P-96 RATIONAL DRUG USE AND ELDERLY-PATIENT CARE Inthira Kanchanaphibool Faculty of Pharmacy, Silpakorn University, Nakhon Pathom 73000 Thailand Background: Aging society is a challenge in global and Asian healthcare systems including in Thailand. Risks of frequent preventable medication- related problems in elderly patients, therefore, are needed to be accomplished. Objective: To investigate potential medicationrelated problems highly relevant to elderly patients. Methods: The cross- sectional survey of drug utilization among elderly patients ( age >= 65 year) in a community hospital was performed with a prescription database in 2015. The criteria and indicators for rational drug use among elderly patients from The Rational Drug Use Hospital Manual developed by the Sub-Committee on Promotion of Rational Drug Use under the National Drug Policy A.D.2011 were used to screen for potential medication- related problems. Results: Of all 7,799 elderly outpatients, only 76 outpatients (0.97%) used long-acting benzodiazepines that met the criteria of the Manual ( ≤ 5% ) . Drugs that should be avoided in the elderly, including tricyclic antidepressant, glibenclamide, pethidine, and phenobarbital were used in 1,554, 29, 14, and 2 elderly outpatients respectively. Drugs that should be used with precautions, including anticholinergic drugs, flunarizine, drugs with narrow therapeutic index, and anticoagulants were used in 1,698, 377, 225, and 40 elderly outpatients. These groups of patients were at risk of potential medication-related problems that pharmacists should focus on taking care of them. The preventable problems were needed to be carefully addressed and resolved. Conclusions: The criteria and indicators suggested by the Manual seem to be useful for screening of the elderly patient groups that need pharmacists’ interventions to improve quality of care.

H-P-97 THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SALMETEROL-FLUTICASON FIXEDDOSE COMBINATION (FDC) AND INFLUENCE OF SALMETEROLFLUTICASON PLUS TIOTROPIUM INHALER ON EXACERBATION PATIENT WITH COPD IN PRIVATE HOSPITAL YOGYAKARTA Chynthia Pradiftha Sari, Rizka A. Alvianty Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Islam Indonesia, 55584, Indonesia Introduction:Long-acting anticholinergic (tiotropium bromide), a combination corticosteroids inhaled and β-2 agonist long action, is a combination of budesonide-formoterol and salmeterolfluticasone which is a therapy used to treat exacerbations. More patients with COPD use inhaled salmeterol- fluticasone than budesonide- formoterol inhalation. The purpose of this study is to describe the effectiveness of salmeterol- fluticason FDC and the influence of single salmeterol- fluticason with salmeterol- fluticason + tiotropium inhaler on exacerbations patient with COPD. Methods: This study involves a cross sectional retrospective of ≥ 40 year- old patients with medical history of COPD at private hospitals in Yogyakarta between 2014 and 2015. Patients with COPD without asthma, tuberculosis, lung cancer use salmeterol-fluticasone with or without tiotropium combination at least 3 times in 6 months regularly. Effectiveness was measured from the frequency of exacerbations of the patients’ use of oral corticosteroids, short- acting β- 2 agonists, and antibiotics. Results: The four hundred patients involved are prescribed the dose of 250 ug discus ( salmeterol 50 mcg+ fluticasone 250 mcg) , 2 puffs a day for six months, with or without tiotropium. 230 patients with COPD who used salmeterol fluticasone with no added tiotropium shows 65. 2% effective results ( no exacerbations) and 34. 8% ineffective ( exacerbation) . On the other hand, 170 patients with COPD who used salmeterol-fluticasone FDC plus tiotropium shows 41.2% effective results (no exacerbations) and 58.8% ineffective (with exacerbation). There is no significant relationship between the use of single salmeterol- fluticasone FDC compared to the combination salmeterolfluticasone+tiotropium inhaler analyzed using nonparametric Chi-Square test, which obtained a significance value of 0.680 (p > 0.05).

H-P-98 INVESTIGATION OF IRREGULAR DOSAGE AND FREQUENCY ORDER SYSTEM USAGE IN OUTPATIENT SETTING Yen-Lin Chang, Hsiu-Chu Chen, Shuw-Chuan Wang Wen-Shyong Liou Department of Pharmacy, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan, R.O.C. Irregular dosage and frequency order (IDF) is necessary in some clinical cases, for instance, take 2 tablets on odd days and 1 on even days. Physicians usually prescribe total amount in Health Information System (HIS) and free texting in the comment section (so called special comment) to inform pharmacist to educate the patients. It takes pharmacists more time to check the order’s accuracy. In 2014, we developed an IDF order system and built a module for QD, QW, BIW, TIW, QIW frequencies. With the system, physicians can choose the module, enter the different dosage and show the correct comment on prescriptions. Pharmacists can save time since the special comment is the same as printout prescription dosage and frequency. We collected the outpatient setting’s IDF order records in October and December 2014. Among those, the highest usage rate (57%) is nephrology department and the lowest one is cardiovascular surgery department. The results indicated that our system usage rate dropped by a relative 13.8% from 282 to 243 per 1,000 special order records. The abstract title should be in capital letter. The paper is qualified for poster presentation. We further investigated the reasons that the system did not use by all the physicians. The major reason is too many patients in our hospital while the physicians may not want to spend much time to rewrite the prescription. However, this system could not only properly deal with IDF situations, but also improve the accuracy of prescriptions. Promotion of the system to physicians will be the next major strategy. It might be useful for other health institutes to manage the IDF prescriptions in Asia. Keywords: irregular dosage and frequency (IDF), usage rate, order system

H-P-99 THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PHARMACOVIGILANCE PROGRAM IN HOSPITAL SETTING. Wan-Jen Tseng, Guan-Ling Lin, Ya-Wei Tsou Department of Pharmacy, Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation Pharmacovigilance was defined by WHO as the science and activities relating to detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse drug effects or any other possible drugrelated problems. In order to reduce the patients’ risks for exposing adverse drug reactions, we implemented a pharmacovigilance program followed by WHO’s definition for drugs using in our hospital. Any drug safety-related alerts announced by health departments in advanced countries or Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) should be collected. Those alerts are forwarded to medical departments by email system in our hospital. After analyzing individual alerts, different interventions such as integrating as block pop-up alerts to clinical decision support system (CDSS) in computerized physician order enter (CPOE) system were implemented. The effectiveness of all interventions should be compared within 3 months before and after implementation. During Jan 2012 to Jan 2016, total 113 alerts, most announced by TFDA (88 items, 77.9%), have been evaluated and 226 interventions have been implemented after analyzing. Besides forwarding alerts, the majority of interventions belong to “labeling warnings and precautions on medication bags” and “making alert pop-up boxes for prescribers”. After implementation of alert pop-up boxes, inappropriate prescriptions regarding to drugs (1) have cross-reactivity with other drugs known to cause allergy, (2) higher than age restriction, (3) above maximum dose, (4) with categories D, X in pregnancy have not been found and amount of prescriptions associated with all alerts decreased 8.55%. Pharmacists play an important role in harm prevention by implementing different interventions depending on analyzing alerts in advance. Keywords: pharmacovigilance, drug safety-related alerts

International Affairs Committee, Taipei Pharmacists Association, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. 2 Taipei Pharmacists Association, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C.

Background: More than one-fifth of member pharmacists of Taipei Pharmacists Association (TPA) are from community pharmacies. However, very few of them have experiences of participating international meetings while participants are mostly from hospitals or academy. It might be one of the reasons they are not familiar with the international pharmacy meetings. Aims: In order to enhance quality of community pharmacies, expand viewpoint of community pharmacists and encourage participation of international meetings, a series of workshops were sponsored by the International Affairs Committee of TPA. Methods: Four lecturers from pharmacy schools, hospital pharmacy and community pharmacy were invited to introduce their experience of participating FIP and FAPA, how to write an abstract and prepare a poster at international meetings. Pharmacists of TPA member joined the workshops and practiced writing an abstract with individual counsel from lecturers at class. In addition, two classes of Etiquette and table manners were given by another lecturer. An exercise dinner was also held at an elegant restaurant after the classes for practicing Etiquette and table manners. Results: Eighty-one member pharmacists of TPA had joined and accomplished the workshops since 2013. Every participant completes his/her own assay and would love to submit their abstract. A total of seventeen abstracts were accepted by FIP and FAPA in 2014 and 2015. Conclusions: The workshops are well accepted and welcomed. Participants learned about the international meetings and how to write an assay at limit period of time. Outstanding participants will be identified to assist at future workshops.

C-P-2 COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND THE CIVIL IMPROVES THE “PHARMACLOUD SYSTEM” Mandy Fan1, Bluce Huang2, Ben Chen1 1

Taipei Pharmacists Association, Taipei, Taiwan 2 Protect Pharmacy, Taipei, Taiwan

In Taiwan, National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) data shows there are 47 thousands people having the behavior of “doctor shopping”. In order to improve drug use safety and rationality and reduce the unnecessary healthcare expenses, NHIA started a series of program modifying patient’s behavior, setting up the patient-centered “PharmaCloud System” since 2013. On the other hand, NHIA takes steps to deduct expenses of duplicate prescription and duplicate medication from 2015. The overall implementation is scheduled to kick off in July this year. However, the program of “PharmaCloud System” is not yet well established. If the Government immediately implements the deduct program, it will bring huge impact to 6,000 community pharmacies in Taiwan. Mr. Wayne Chiang, legislator, after receiving the statement from Taipei Pharmacists Association (TPA), held a communication conference between NHIA and Pharmacist Associations to solve the problem. In this conference, the participants reached a consensus – postponing the deduct program to January 2017. It gives us more time to inspect the unreasonable legal aspects of health information management and technical issues on PharmaCloud System. A successful policy implementation is based on consideration of both system infrastructure and operating procedures. In this case, Mr. Wayne Chiang plays a role as the bridge between the government and the civil. We are happy to see the progress of communication improvement. We do believe that will be a win-win policy for both people and the government. Keywords: PharmaCloud System, deduct expenses, duplicate prescription, duplicate medication, health insurance

C-P-3 TAKING LUTEIN TO PREVENT EYE DISEASES: A COMPARISON STUDY OF EMPLOYED AND UNEMPLOYED BASED ON HEALTH BELIEF MODEL Feng Chuan Pan, Jieh-Horng Hwang, Ching-Chang Fan Faculty of Pharmacy, Tajen University, Pingtung County 90741, Taiwan Equity in access to medicines had become one of the major concerned in the medication. This issue had prevailed in the marriage, sex, job opportunity, education, medication and many societal disciplines and practices to prevent the minorities from being unfairly treated. However, few, if any, research had looked into the research model for the minority may differ from the main stream. Based on Health Belief Model (HBM), the current research compared the applicability of HBM both in the population of the employed and the unemployed, in particular when expose to the threats of eye diseases. Purpose of this research was to identify how a research on the minority may differ from the main stream under the same theoretical background. 1075 valid samples were conveniently taken from general adult population around the island of Taiwan. The sample was divided into two groups based on the respondent’s selfadministered questionnaires, 356 unemployed and 719 employed. The survey showed that the unemployed respondents relied most the TV program and the healthcare institutes as the source of healthcare information, whereas the employed group relied on the internet-web and the TV programs the most. Two groups regression analysis indicated that HBM as a theory had a better explanation for the unemployed (R2=25.4%) than the employed (R2=21.0%), however, the main predictor was the perceived benefit of taking lutein for eye disease prevention. It was the same for both unemployed (β=0 .491, p=0 .000) and employed (β=0 .408, p=0 .000). Keywords: unemployed, lutein, eye diseases, health belief model, health care information

C-P-4 LUTEIN INTAKE INTENTION AND EYE DISEASES PREVENTION AMONG THE POPULATION OF CHRONIC PATIENTS Feng Chuan Pan, Jieh-Horng Hwang, Chung-Te Hsieh Faculty of Pharmacy, Tajen University, Pingtung County 90741, Taiwan Macula is the most sensitive part of the retina, sick of macula will seriously damage the retina, and accordingly eyesight. Chronic patients, in particular, those suffered from diabetic mellitus, were exposed to a much higher risk of macular degeneration. This is the main reason for vision loss and blindness for people. Literature had suggested that Lutein and Zeaxanthin can help eyes absorbing ultraviolet light and contains more radical radiation source to prevent cells from harm. Lutein cannot be synthesized by the human body; it should be supplied through intake of either dark green vegetables and fruits or lutein supplements (nutraceuticals) continuously. We may conclude that lutein supplement is a modern, essential nutrient to maintain health of human eyes. In the other hand, Levels of lutein were found positively correlated with levels of physical activity. Based on the theory of planned behavior, the current research explored the effects of a person’s attitude, subjective norms, and self-confidence can affect one’s behavioral intention in taking lutein supplements along with physical exercise. 363 cases with chronic diseases were collected from pharmacies around the island, and analyzed with SPSS for Windows 20.0. Test results indicated that the conventional independent variables of attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control can explain 58.4% of variance of lutein taking intention. The model can be improved to a higher level of 61.2% of variance by adding physical exercise level as an extra variable. Keywords: chronic ill, exercise habit, lutein, theory of planned behavior

C-P-10 EXPLORE THE IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITION SUPPLEMENT KNOWLEDGE UPDATE FOR COMMUNITY PHARMACISTS Yen-Yu Chang1, Ben Chen2, Hsiu-Ying Yu2 1

Community Pharmacy Committee, Taipei Pharmacists Association, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. 2 Taipei Pharmacists Association, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C.

Background: As a practicing community pharmacist for years, I found out that nutraceutical products, either single or multiple ingredients, are widely used. The initiative of taking nutraceutical might be from doctor’s recommendation or consumer’s own decision. There are interactions between drugs and certain food, so are nutraceuticals. Community pharmacists need to increase and update knowledge of nutrition supplement so as to provide service or consultation to patients. Method: As observed at community pharmacy, most people do not follow the dietary guidance published by the National Health Bureau. It is not the problem of insufficient nutrition but the balance of nutrition or over-intake. As inquired by the patients at the community pharmacy, there are so many different nutraceuticals used. Most of them are compound formula with varied brands. In daily practice at community pharmacy, besides ordinary drug safety assessment, patients are asked if any nutraceuticals are taken. The ingredients and dose of nutraceuticals are checked and whether or not there is interaction between those ingredients and prescribed medicines. For example, Monascus products may reinforce effects of lipid lowering agents, and liver function might be affected. Community pharmacists may provide correct health education to patients including right concept of using nutraceuticals. Results and discussion: Nutrition supplement knowledge and update is provided at some Pharmacist Continuing Education programs. Furthermore, it is recommended to make nutriology curriculum available at the pharmacy college in the future.

C-P-13 PROBLEMS CONCERNING COMMUNITY PHARMACIES PARTICIPATING AMBULATORY CANCER THERAPY IN JAPAN ďź? IMPORTANCE OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY COOPERATION IN COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICE Yuko Kanazawa, Nobuo Yamamoto Hoseido Pharmacy, Tokyo JAPAN Recently, the number of prescriptions for outpatients suffered from cancer has been increased, and there arose strong demands for community pharmacists to provide safer and more effective pharmaceutical care for cancer patients. In this study, we conducted a survey concerning the problems to respond to these demands especially focus on the availability of information. We classified the information which are difficult to obtain for community pharmacists into two categories; those are information relating patient and information concerning anti-cancer drug itself (i.e. knowledge concerning the latest regimen or treatments procedure). These difficulties seems to result from the remarkable increase in complexities of cancer chemotherapy caused by the recent developments in cancer treatment, and the recent increase in the number of ambulatory cancer chemotherapy. The lack of these critical information may cause an inadequate confirmation of prescriptions and management of adverse effects by community pharmacists, which is essential to provide the safe and effective cancer chemotherapy for patients. These situation can increase the risk of adverse effects becoming serious, and disruption of chemotherapy due to adverse effects. To solve these problems, it is effectual to construct a multidisciplinary cooperation in community health services to promote the information sharing. An extensive and cooperative patient support by hospitals and community healthcare providers such as pharmacies is desirable for the best pharmaceutical care for patients receiving ambulatory cancer therapy. We believe that to consolidate the support systems is necessary to realize such cooperation. Keywords: a faculty of community pharmacy, ambulatory cancer therapy, multidisciplinary cooperation

Research background: Residents in Taiwan exposed to an extreme high risk of eye diseases because of extensive use of image applications. Since lutein had been proofed to be helpful to strengthen the eyes function and help prevent macular degeneration, it had become a star product in the pharmacies and drug stores. In the other hand, consumers were easily confused with a wide variety of brands and sales channels when shop for a proper lutein supplement. Theory and Literature Review: This research took the health belief model as the theoretical basis and hypothesized that the levels of consumer’ s threat perception on eye diseases affect their lutein consuming behaviors. In addition, such consuming behaviors would be affected by some other demographic factors. Research design: This was a survey research with a structured questionnaire. 823 samples were taken from major distribution channels of nutritional supplements across Taiwan. Data were analyzed with statistical techniques such as independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, cross-tabulation with X2 testing, and regression analysis. Results: The current study revealed that the perceived benefit (r=.489) significantly had the strongest correlation with lutein consumer behavior, followed by the susceptibility (r=.146) and severity (r=.137) of eye diseases, and ended with a negative effect of perceived barrier of lutein supplement (r=-.100), all test results were significant at a level of Cronbach’s α=0.05. The current survey indicated as well the most complicated customer profile was found in the drug stores.

IM-P-2 APPLYING HEALTH BELIEF MODEL TO INVESTIGATE THE PREVENTIVE INTENTION OF AGE RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION BY LUTEIN INTAKE: A STUDY IN THE POPULATION OF DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS Feng Chuan Pan, Jhy-Yih Chen, Chang-Da Hsieh, Jieh-Horng Hwang Faculty of Pharmacy, Tajen University Research background: As the disease expansion theory predicted, chronic diseases prevailed along with the continuous innovativeness of medical and pharmaceutical technology. Longer life expectancy may not promise a better quality of life. Literature general suggested that chronic patients were eligible to enjoy quality life by obeying physician order. One of the major drawbacks of quality life was the macular degeneration, which jeopardize the patient’s vision. Theory and Literature Review: Diabetic retinopathy was the major threat to blindness. Diabetes retinopathy means significant impacts on the patient’s quality of life. Literature also suggested that sufficient lutein supply in a continuous manner will effectively protect eyes and eyesight. Based on the health belief model, this research explored how the perceived threats of eye diseases alone can affect the chronic patient’ s lutein consuming behavior, and how the effects change after adding perceived benefit and barrier as additional variables. Research design: This study collected 452 responses with a structured questionnaire. Results: Four independent variables of susceptibility (β=.056, t=.952), severity (β=-.006, t=-.104), perceived benefit ( β= . 419, t= 7. 303) , and perceived barrier ( β= . 056, t= - . 410) of the health belief model can explained 18.1% of variance of chronic patients’ lutein consuming behavior. Noteworthy the perceived benefit was the only variable that significant in predicting consuming behavior. This implied that the perceived benefit of lutein supplement should be particularly stressed when designing a health promotion program. In the other hand, communication contains horrifying message of eye diseases may not be viable. Keywords: chronic patients, health belief model, consumer behavior, lutein supplement

Breast milk is one of the best nutrient source for babies such that breast feeding is always the first priority. Nevertheless, some mothers also have to feed their babies with powdered infant formula milk because of the insufficient of their breast milk. Consequently, the choice of powdered infant formula milk for babies has been an important issue. This cross- sectional study used a structural questionnair as an instrument to explore the level of understanding and purchasing behavior in powdered infant formula milk, and data were collected from pharmacy customers in central Taiwan. The study found one of the highest agreement of purchasing behavior in powdered infant formula milk is: “ingredient labeling” (4.26±0.53), and one of the lowest agreement is: “ purchase because of inexpensive” ( 2. 20±0. 76) . Almost always to a pharmacy to purchase ( 98. 8% ) , because of trusted pharmacist professionals ( 61. 7% ) and introduced by friends and relatives (53.2%), the initial purchase considerations were nutrition (66.7%) and brand awareness (52.1 %). The price of powdered infant formula milk is not the primary consideration for customers. In contrast, customers attach more weight to the brand awareness and the nutrient source of powdered infant formula milk. The government encourage breast feeding such that the advertisement of milk powder for 0 to 1-year-old baby is forbidden. As a result, customers can only choose the most suitable powdered infant formula milk by seeking professional advice from the community pharmacists.

The objective of work is to envisage the applicability of various polymers, Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose ( HPMC) and sodium carboxy methylcellulose ( NaCMC) on enhancing the dissolution rate of doxyfylline and to formulate into sustained release tablets. Doxyfylline belongs to the xanthenes derivative used for treatment of asthma which exhibits low aqueous solubility and poor bioavailability by first pass metabolism. Biological half- life of the drug is 2-4 hrs and hence, to obviate the demerit of multiple dose of administration and also to improve the bioavailability of drug, various polymers are used in different ratios to prepare dosage form which delivers the drug for prolonged period of time. Twelve formulations of doxyfylline sustained release tablets were prepared by employing the polymers, HPMC K15M, K100M and NaCMC, using polyvinyl pyrolidone (PVP) K30 as a binding agent using wet granulation technique. The prepared tablets were evaluated for various physiochemical parameters by official procedures and found everything was within the limit. The results show that, type of polymer and drug: polymer ratio in the tablets influences the physiochemical and in vitro characteristics of drug. The release rate of the drug from all formulations increased in the following order HPMCK15 >HPMC K100M> NaCMC. It can be concluded that the in- vitro drug release of formulation F8 containing HPMC K100 of 11% and 19% NaCMC, exhibited better drug release profile of 99.42 % at the end of 24 hours compared to marketed formulation so, that drug retains in GIT for longer periods which meets the Keywords: doxyfylline, sustained release tablets, hydroxypropyl methylcelluose, sodium carboxy methylcellulose

IM-P-10 DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF SELF MICROEMULSIFYING DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS OF FINASTERIDE Hyma Ponnaganti St.Pauls college of pharmacy, Hyderabad, Telangana The aim of the study was to develop self- microemulsifying drug delivery system ( SMEDDS) of a poorly water soluble drug Finasteride. Hydrophobic drugs can often be dissolved in microemulsion allowing them to be encapsulated in the form of fine globules, so that drug remains undissolved in the gut avoiding the dissolution step, which frequently limit the rate of absorption of hydrophobic drugs. Phase solubility studies were conducted for the maximum solubility of Finasteride. Ternary phase diagrams were constructed to evaluate microemulsion regions. FTIR analysis was done for investigating the drug– excipient interactions. The mean globule size of SMEDDS was observed to be below 200 nm for the optimized formulations and the zeta potential was negative. The dissolution of emulsion formulations was compared with commercial tablets; the results indicated that the rate of dissolution of developed formulations containing Finasteride was 2 to 3 folds increased compared with that of commercial tablets. SEM and TEM studies were done for the shape and morphology of the globules. A 3 month stability studies at accelerated conditions (400C & 75% RH) showed no change in physical appearance, droplet size and dissolution rate of the drug. Thus SMEDDS formulation was found to be instrumental in improving oral bioavailabily and can be regarded as novel and commercially feasible alternative to the current Finasteride formulation.

IM-P-11 EFFECTS OF SOLVENTS ON PROPERTIES OF ZEIN MICROPARTICLES PREPARED BY SPRAY DRYING TECHNIQUE Duangratana Shuwisitkul, Witchaya Kosawang, Supapitch Eamsherangkoon, Sujimon Tunvichien Faculty of Pharmacy, Srinakharinwirot University, Nakhonnayok, 26120 Thailand The study aimed to compare solvents of zein solution for preparing zein microparticles by spray drying technique. Morphology and particle size of the microparticles were investigated. 40% v/ v isopropyl alcohol ( IPA) and 2% w/ v sodium lauryl sulfate ( SDS) were compared. Concentrations of zein solution were varied from 2- 5% w/ v. Zein microparticles from the solution in 40% v/ v IPA showed better morphology in comparison to the microparticles from the solution in 2% w/ v SDS. The increase in zein concentrations in IPA solution enhanced morphology, whereas the increase in zein concentration in SDS solution had no effect. The best morphology of zein micropaticles was achieved using 5% w/ v zein solution in 40% v/ v IPA. The larger particle size was obtained when prepare the microparticles by IPA. The resulting morphology and particle size were explained by viscosity and stages of zein in solution. At the low concentration of SDS, zein was dissolved and stayed in the form of globular stage. In the case of 40% v/v IPA, zein was totally unfolded, thus the higher viscosity and slower solvent evaporation during spray drying process. In summary, 40% v/ v IPA as a solvent provided better morphology and larger particle size size of zein microparticles. Keywords: zein, microparticles, solvent, spray drying technique

Curcuminoids are the active compound of Curcuma longa L with superior antioxidant and antiinflammatory activities. However, clinical application of this compound is limited due to its low bioavailability following oral administration. Solid dispersions have been used to improve solubility and bioavailability of several lipophilic compounds. This study was aimed to developing a suitable solid dispersion system for the improvement of curcumin dissolution and curcumin bioavailability. The study was initiated by preparation of solid dispersion of curcumin with PVP K30 using 2 different methods including spray drying ( SD) , and vacuum drying using rotary evaporator (VD). The solid dispersion products were characterized by DSC, XRPD, SEM and dissolution behavior. An in vivo study in rats was carried out to evaluate whether dissolution enhancement as observed in vitro resulted in an improved bioavalaibility. Curcumin plasma concentrataions were determined using a validated Reversed Phase High Performance Chromatography Analysis method. A high dissolution rate of curcumin were obtained from the solid dispersions prepared by spray drying with 100% dissolution was obtained within 50 minutes. Investigation on the molecular embedment of the solid dispersions by FTIR, DSC, and SEM demonstrated the formation of amorphous state of curcumin in PVP K30 matrix. The in vivo study demonstrated bioavailability relative of curcumin in plasma more than 2000% for the solid dispersion of C. longa extract in PVP K30 based solid dispersions.

Shun Lung Chao1, Jieh-Horng Hwang2, Jhy-yih Chen2, Feng-Chuan F Pan2 Department of Pharmacy, Tajen University and Puu Deng Pharmaceutial Co.,Ltd. 2 Faculty of Pharmacy, Tajen University, Pingtung 907 Taiwan Literature generally suggests that the macular pigment can only be obtained from the diet. AgeRelated Eye Disease Study 2 Protocol had also suggested that lutein help prevent Age- related Macular Degeneration (AMD) by increasing macular pigment optical density (MPOD). Given the daily diet may not be able to provide sufficient Lutein and Zeaxanthin to protect eyes, to intake nutrient such as Lutein and Zeaxanthin from nutritional supplements will be a wise alternative to prevent eye diseases. Based on the health believe model, this research explored into the respondents’ perceive threats toward the threats of eye diseases, and the perceived benefits toward lutein as a preventive measure. Independent variables of susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers as a whole can explain 25% of variance with the perceived benefit ( . 49) as the major predictor of lutein intake, and followed by perceived barrier ( - . 19) and susceptibility ( . 08) . Findings from the current research were consistent to the previous research, thus confirmed that the Health Belief Model as a theory was applicable in the research of the behavior of taking lutein as a preventive measure of eye diseases. The current research suggested to promote the benefits of lutein intake may help strengthen people’s willingness to gain these specific nutrients from daily diet. Research results can be a useful reference for the lutein suppliers as well as the public health agencies while conducting preventive campaigns on eyes and eye-sight.

Evaluation of how the students perceive the factors that affect their own academic performance is important to ensure that the learning goals of any college program are met. Such selfperceptions may guide educators in choosing interventions that need to be implemented to ensure academic success. This study was conducted to identify students’ perceptions on the factors affecting academic performance. The study utilized a survey instrument administered to all 108 students enrolled in the BS Pharmacy program in a tertiary institution in Manila, Philippines. The mean age of the respondents was 19.82±0.18. Majority were female (78.07%). The students ranked highest on academic competence ( 4. 11±0. 49) and strategic studying 3. 93±0. 94. The lowest scores were on the test anxiety ( 3. 11 ±0. 51) and test competence ( 3. 125±0. 25) domains. The results indicate that while the students use strategic studying techniques and can, to some degree, manage the Pharmacy course load, their academic success is hampered by poor test-taking skills. Educators may explore test counselling to help improve students' academic performance. Keywords: academic performance, factors affecting academic performance, test anxiety, academic competence

PE-P-2 FACTUAL INVESTIGATION OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION IN PALLIATIVE CARE AT PHARMACEUTICAL COLLEGES AND PHARMACEUTICAL DEPARTMENTS AROUND THE COUNTRY IN JAPAN Yoshiaki Okamoto1, Midori Hirai2, Tsutomu Suzuki3, Hajime Kagaya4 1

Ashiya Municipal Hospital Kobe University Hospital 3 Hoshi University, Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences 4 Meiji Pharmaceutical University 2

Background: Pharmaceutical undergraduate education in Japanese universities changed from a four-year course to a six-year course from 2006, and from 2012 graduates who have received the new education have been clinically active. In Japan, each university individually sets curriculum in compliance with the Pharmaceutics Model Core Curriculum. In recent years, the number of lectures in clinical fields has drastically increased, and the contents are also becoming richer, but it is known that there are large differences between the universities. Method: We sent questionnaires to university presidents, deans, and concerned teaching staff at 72 of universities around the country and collected the answers via e- mail. The questionnaires consisted of 14 items including " Is palliative care necessary in pharmaceutical education?", "State of implementation of palliative care education", "Influence on pharmacists' duties", and "Sense of satisfaction in lectures". Results: The response rate to the questionnaire was 71.6%, or 53 of the 74 schools. 96% responded "Yes" to "Is palliative care necessary in pharmaceutical education?" 86. 5% responded " Yes" to " Do you conduct lectures regarding palliative care?" As for the number of classes of the lectures, 58.7% responded 2-7, which was the highest, and 6.5% of universities had 17 classes or more. Considerations: This investigation showed that the necessity of palliative care was recognized at most universities and that lectures devised at each university are being conducted. However, because about half of the Universities feel that it is currently insufficient, we can expect that education in this field will be further enriched in the future. Keywords: palliative care, undergraduate education

Although the evaluation for pharmacists hasn’ t been strictly formulated in the accreditation yet, most hospitals have already considered OSCE a method of multiple assessment. The effect and our experience of OSCE were summarized in this study. Method: Before evaluation: (1) Setting of the teaching plans (2) Composition of the teaching plans (3) Practice and consensus- building between assessors and standardized patients ( 4) Exam orientation for the candidates. During evaluation: (1) The length of each station was defined to be 12 minutes (including evaluation feedback for each candidate) (2) Comprehensive feedback and discussion after OSCE. After evaluation: (1) Set pass-fail decisions by using angoff method (2) Assess the results. Result: We have been implementing OSCE once a year since 2011. 51 post-graduate year (PGY) pharmacists, 14 under-graduate year (UGY) pharmacists and several visitors were included in the evaluation. We totally designed 25 teaching plans containing 9 professional knowledge, 9 operation techniques and 7 communication skills. On average, we set 9. 4 OSCE stations and there were 1. 6 stations that the candidates failed to complete. The overall satisfaction rating of the candidates, the assessors, the standardized patients and the visitors were 4.69±0.20, 4.70±0.30, 4.71±0.36,5.00±0.0(five points Likert scale). Discussion and Conclusion: We carried out OSCE not only to examine the learning effect but to re-educate our candidates. For those who didn’ t not pass the test, they would get a feedback from the assessors, and receive more aids and information from their preceptor pharmacist to provide the patients with a better pharmaceutical care.

Traditional Chinese Medicine ( TCM) currently has become more modernized and scientific under the endeavor of the relevant department and industries even though it seem to be conventional and conservative. For example, to ensure the quality and safety of TCM for public health, implementations of Good Manufacturing Practice, crude drug origin identification, manufacturing process and quality control, barcode system in TCM origin traceability management platform, QR-code labeling on the package and so forth were rigorously promoted for controlling of product quality and safety. The committee of Taipei Pharmacist Association aims to encourage practicing pharmacists in Taiwan to keep playing a key role in such transition of TCM with their well- trained pharmaceutical knowledge. Those areas of knowledge include developing new dosage forms for TCM, studying TCM pharmacokinetics and drug interactions. The clinical efficacy of new drugs from TCM was also followed the guideline of Good Clinical Practice to provide its evidence-based medicine. Therefore, efforts in creating platforms for pharmacists to involve in controlling of product quality, safety and efficacy include one series of lectures for professional practices and two visiting activities ( Botanical Garden or Pharmaceutical manufacture for Chinese herbal medicines) . Total 225 pharmacists joined those training programs. In Taiwan, TCM is no longer traditional, but present a completely brand-new modern face and spirits in health care. The pharmacy practices in TCM are not only focused on patient care, but also contribute to its transition during pluralistic development of TCM.

Showa University Pharmacy Residency Program was started in 2010 and more than 70 residents graduated from the program. In this session, we present some results of our investigation regarding efficacy and efficiency from aspects of subjective and objective evaluation of the program. From the fiscal year 2010 to 2014, paper based examinations and observational structured clinical examinations (OSCE) were conducted. The exams were done three and six months after the start of the program. The OSCE was consisted of the central pharmacy practice techniques and team-medicine practice skills. At the end of the program case presentation was carried out and evaluations were fed back to the residents. In the year 2015, as a new step, residents accumulated case summaries and portfolios, and preceptors gave feedback repeatedly and frequently. Interprofessional evaluation and case based discussion were also taken place. Residents were able to set goals for the next step by knowing the results of the exams and it facilitated them to learn more to be a better clinical pharmacist. The case based discussion revealed an insufficient area of each resident and made preceptors possible to support residents' growth in a timely manner. Next action assignments are clarifying the final goal of the program and generalizing the level that residents reach by the end of the program.

PE-P-8 AN EXAMPLE OF EDUCATION OF DRUG-INTERACTION USING CASE STUDIES TO PHARMACY STUDENTS Hiroshi Moriuchi Laboratory of Pharmacy Practice, Daiichi University of pharmacy, Fukuoka, Japan Background: In Japan, there is an increase in the occasion for pharmacists to go to the bedside of inpatients. They may find something wrong with biomarkers of patient. This may happen because of drug-interaction. However, Japanese pharmacy students do not seem to be familiar with drug interaction well. Although the subject is taught in a part of pharmacology and biopharmaceutics, many students seem to think that the subject is important but is hard to remember the miscellaneous information about drug-interactions. Objective: If they can notice that predicting and preventing drug interaction is very important, their motivation to learn the subject would be improved. Therefore, by using case studies, they can understand 1) how important the knowledge of drug interaction, 2) how to apply their pharmacological and/ or biopharmaceutical knowledge to clinical area. Method: Therefore, showing pharmacy students examples of drug-interaction by using simulated clinical case reports can be an interesting way of teaching. Possible results and discussion: By referring to pathophysiology of the case, students may be interested not only in drug- interaction but also the alteration of biomarkers. Besides, they would improve their ability to think over causes of alteration and how to solve problems. Meanwhile students could review physiology and possibly anatomy. To make a class of drug-interaction more attractive, this type of teaching would be a proper way. Keywords: drug-interaction case-study

Pharmacy is the health profession that links health sciences with chemical sciences and charged with ensuring the safe and effective use of pharmaceutical drugs. India, a developing nation that occupies the greater part of South Asia, is a sovereign, secular republic consisting of 29 states and 7 union territories. Pharmacy education in India traditionally has been industry and product oriented. In contrast to the situation in developed nations, graduate pharmacists prefer placements in the pharmaceutical industry. To practice as a pharmacist in India, one needs at least a diploma in pharmacy, which is awarded after only 2 years and 3 months of pharmacy studies. These diploma- trained pharmacists are the mainstay of pharmacy practice. In India, there has been a surge in the number of institutions offering pharmacy degrees at various levels and practice- based doctor of pharmacy ( Pharm D) program was started in some private institutions in 2008. However, relatively little information has been published describing the current status of complex pharmacy education of India. In this, description of Pharmacy education in India and highlight major issues in pharmacy practice including deficiencies in curriculum. The changing face of the profession is discussed, including the establishment of the Pharm D program. The information presented may stimulate the discussion, critical analysis and planning, and will be value in further adaptation of the pharmacy education to desired educational outcomes. These are times of enormous change in healthcare and pharmacy profession and pharmaceutical education must prepare students to enter into the practice of pharmacy.

A-P-2 A STUDY ON THE MEDICATION 0F LONG-TERM CARE FACILITY RESIDENTS Ming-Chih Chiang1, Chi-Tsung Huang2, Wei-Wen Liu3, Shorong-Shii Liou1 1

Department of Pharmacy and Master Program,Tajen University, Taiwan 2 Wen-Xiang Nursing Home, Changhua County, Taiwan (R.O.C.) 3 Department of Healthcare Administration, Central Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taiwan In the last decades, there are major changes in Chinese people’s lifestyle and eating habits due to the advent of hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. It is a fact that most residents in long-term care facilities are afflicted with one or more of those three aforementioned diseases. Another fact is that drug therapy is used more than it is needed in those cases; thus, requiring extra time and energy from the nursing staff to manage the drugs. This paper aims to acquaint residents and their families with: 1) the basic knowledge on the pathogenesis of the chronic diseases and the necessity of drug therapy, 2) the significance of a healthy diet on such chronic conditions, 3) the vital mission to control blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipoid and weight, and 4) the potential benefit that a released dosage could bring. This research is based on chronic-disease-remedy-drug consumption conditions including disease category, dosage and consumption in five long-term care facilities. We find that more than 90% of the medicines taken by facility residents come as chronic disease remedy and the average dosage is 5-8 pills. This leads us to reconsider the significance of a healthy diet, a healthy lifestyle, responsible disease education and quality of care when combating with chronic diseases. In addition, it is the responsibility of the care facility to practice quality care against chronic diseases and gradually reduce unnecessary drug dosage.

Department of Pharmacy, Changhua Hospital, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Taiwan Pulmonary and Critical Care Unit, Changhua Hospital, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Taiwan

Background: In 2011, the treatment success rate for new tuberculosis (TB) cases was 72.5% in central Taiwan. Second line anti-TB drugs are much more toxic and expensive than first line drugs. Thus, prescription of second line anti-TB drugs is verified and monitored by Taiwan CDC since 2006 and all patients received DOT aim to prevent second line drug resistance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the treatment alternatives and outcomes of second line anti-TB drug users in central Taiwan. Methods: Initial second line anti-TB applications between January 2010 and December 2014 in central Taiwan were selected for this study. Medical records were followed from the date of initial use of second line agents to the end of study (November 30, 2015). The treatment success was defined as cured or completed treatment. Results: There were 11,292 TB patients in central Taiwan during 2010-2014. 789 patients were included in this study. The mean age of the subjects was 66 and 74% were males. 619 patients (78%) were prescribed one alternative second line agent. 78% of patients received oral fluoroquinolones, 34% of patients received injectable agents and 8% received oral bacteriostatic second line agents. The fluoroquinolones resistant rate was 0.08% in 2010 and 0.1% in 2014. The treatment success rate among all participants was 75%. Conclusion: Oral form fluroquinone was prescribed most often by physicians. Under Taiwan CDC policy and DOT, the fluoroquinolones resistant rate didn’t increase and the treatment success rate of second line anti-TB patients was similar with general TB cases in Taiwan.

Department of Pharmacy, Tungs' Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan Taichung County Pharmacist Association, Taichung, Taiwan 2 Department of Pharmacy, Tungs' Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan 3 Infection control committee, Tungs' Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan Background: In developed countries, infection of Acinetobacter baumannii is difficult to both control and treat because of its propensity to accumulate mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance that lead to pan-drug resistance. We, therefore, performed a study to identify the risk factors for carbapenems-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) infections. Methods: During the study period, 376 A. baumannii isolates were separated into three groups: 41 isolates were sensitive to all antibiotics (CSAB-S), 56 isolates were resistant to at least one antibiotic but not to carbapenems (CSAB-R) and 279 isolates were resistant to carbapenems (CRAB). Comparisons were made between the three groups. Risk factors analyzed included demographic variables, the antibiotics used and comorbid conditions. Results: As compared with CSAB-S, the patients who stay in intensive care unit (ICU) or respiratory care ward (RCW) (OR, 5.16; 95% CI, 2.30 to 11.56; p = 0.000), underlying pulmonary disease (OR, 8.84; 95% CI, 4.03 to 19.36; p = 0.000) and CNS disease (p = 0.033) were associated with CRAB infection. ICU or RCW stay (OR, 3.84; 95% CI, 1.51 to 9.77; p = 0.005), underlying pulmonary disease (OR, 5.10; 95% CI, 2.05 to 12.69; p = 0.000) and CNS disease (p = 0.020) were also associated with CSAB-R infection. Conclusion: The results in our study suggest that the nosocomial occurrence of CSAB-R or CRAB is strongly related to an ICU or RCW stay, pulmonary disease and CNS disease. Keywords: epidemiology, carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

PP-P-3 THE HAZARD OF VASCULAR RISK IN PATIENTS WITH DIALYSIS TREATED WITH ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITION OR ANGIOTENSIN II RECEPTOR BLOCKERS Chung-Yu Chen School of Pharmacy, Kaohsiung Medical University, Kaohsiung 807 Taiwan Aim: From previous evidences, hemodialysis have higher risk of vascular diseases than general population. However, current evidences indicated vascular safety is a matter of debate in patients with dialysis using angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin type 1 receptor blockers (ARBs). Our study sought to examine whether ACEI/ARBs could reduce the hazards of vascular events in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. We identified new cases of ESRD with dialysis from the National Health Insurance Research Database between 2004 and 2010, and used Coxregression with medication possession ratio (MPR) to evaluate risk of vascular outcomes. ACEIs or ARBs was prescribed within 90 days and over 90 cumulative DDDs before or after first-time dialysis.Vascular outcomes, including mortality, first-time admission for stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic), acute myocardial infraction, aortic aneurysm/dissection, arrhythmia and heart failure, were examined. Result: The overall risk of mortality was 0.92fold (95% C.I. 0.86-0.96) less than in patients treated with ACEIs than those non-user group and 0.98-fold (95% C.I. 0.88-1.12) less than in patients treated with ARBs than those non-user group after adjusting for confounding factors and MPR. The mortality was 0.23-fold lower in ACEIs group than in ARBs. Furthermore, compared with non-users, the risk of other vascular outcome 1.36-fold (95% C.I. 1.06-1.96) significantly increased in ACEIs/ARBs group (including MPR < 8 0% or MPR >= 80%) in long-term follow-up. Conclusion: ESRD patients with dialysis, particularly those treated with ACEIs/ARBs, are at decreased risks for mortality. However, patients on hemodialysis may not experience the same vascular benefits from ACEIs/ARBs use. Further studies are required to determine the benefit of ACEIs/ARBs on dialysis patients.

Majority of lung cancer death is mainly due to being diagnosed at in unresectable advanced stage, and cannot apply effective treatment to improve the survival rate of patients. The preferred treatment approach for unresectable advanced stage lung cancer patients is a single chemotherapy drugs. The study adopts a retrospective cohort study design based on the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) from 2002 to 2011. Medical records of newly diagnosed lung cancer (ICD-9-CM 162.0-162.9) patients from 2003-2011 were extracted. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, treatment patterns, and pattern of chemotherapy were analyzed. The total medical utilization was evaluated using descriptive statistics which incorporates sex, age and single agent therapy. There were 55,136 newly diagnosed lung cancer patients during 2003-2010 identified from NHIRD. Divided into two groups, one is no treatment group were 13,615 patients, another was 41,521 people in treatment group; among them, 1,964 patients were treated by single therapy. There were 1,419 (72.3%) males and, 545 (27.7%) females. The average age was 71.1years old. Treatment patterns are received chemotherapy only based. Chemotherapy prescriptions were divided into three groups, 375 patients in docetaxel, 1253 patients in gemcitabine, and 336 patients in vinorelbine group.

LP-P-1 EVALUATION OF A NEWLY DEVELOPED POST-MARKETING SURVEILLANCE METHOD TO VERIFY THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF A SWITCH-OTC DRUG Rie Nakajima School of Pharmacy, Nihon University, 7-7-1 Narashinodai Funabashi-shi Chiba Japan Purpose: We aimed at developing a post-marketing surveillance (PMS) method to implement after the release of a new switch- OTC drug. For this, we developed a health check sheet for assessing and estimating possible side effects of the drug to reach a conclusion on consumer complaints. We compared the results of the PMS, which uses our health check sheet, and a traditional PMS ( special inquiry) , and assessed the effectiveness of the health check sheet. Methods: This study focused on the drug Loxonin®S. We compared the results of the health check sheet survey and the special inquiry in regard to efficacy, safety, and compliance. Results: The efficacy rate was 46.5% with the health check sheet survey and 93.5% with the special inquiry. Main side effects reported in both surveys included “ frequent sleepiness” (“drowsiness” in the special inquiry), “increase in fatigue” (“fatigue” in the special inquiry), and “ noticing recent swelling in the body” ( “ edema” in the special inquiry) . The results revealed that 0.7% of the cases in the health check sheet survey and 0.5% in the special inquiry had poor compliance. Conclusion: Although the health check sheet survey was used in a small number of cases and over a short period, we could obtain results similar to the special inquiry in the categories of drug regimen compliance and detected side effects. These results suggest that the health check sheet survey is an effective method with lower cost and workload in comparison with the traditional PMS method. Keywords: post-marketing surveillance, switch-OTC drug

Master of Public Health degree Program, National Taiwan University

Induced pluripotent stem- cell ( iPSC) therapy is a novel technique to generate human pluripotent stem cells from somatic cells via induction of specific gene expression ( Oct- 4, SOX2, KLF4, and Myc) , also known as reprogramming. Using episomal vectors and feederfree system could respectively avoid tumorigenesis and reduce adventitious agents in clinical application. Recently, it is reported that 2 patients had received transplantation of retinal pigment epithelium derived from iPSC in Japan. However, the role of pharmacists in reprogramming, stem cell culture and cell differentiation were not mentioned in Taiwan good tissue practice (GTP). Pharmacists have more experience of manufacture, storage, distribution and validation than general operators. It is suggested that involvement of pharmacists in iPSC therapy should be established in GTP, especially preparation of iPSC and validation of differentiated cells or tissue.

system (PLS) will be proceed in Taiwan. Example, economy, law sue that may be rising or down to hell. Only US and Canada have PLS, and Korea following recently that we look on the developing in the future. Method: We search for Google, use keyword to get information in Taiwan about medicine litigation. In last decade, we review and collected the medicine verdicts of intelligence property (IP) that search from JROCLRR System. Results: We found. There are including copyright, trademark and patent infringement of verdict. It almost suffer a defeated are Plaintiffs. Such as MSD v. Novartis (alendronate), MSD v. Covax (alendronate), Pfizer v. NangKuang (sildenafil), Aventis v. TTY (docetaxel), SanofiAventis v. Pharmastar (clopidogrel), AstraZeneca v. Genovate (rosuvastatin) and Takeda v. CCPC (pioglitazone). Conclusion: In according, the results we found in the system that it might remind people respective IP right and medicine using right. In fact, PLS will be proceed in Taiwan, predictable both of original and generic manufactures has benefits and risks. Original manufactures’ products had protected from patent right, but they almost had been defeated on litigation because many reasons. Studied the causes maybe, successful design around, mistake and miss judgment that original manufactures loss the benefits. If it was without professional people assistant, pharmaceutical manufacture could search relative IP website by itself, such as Orange Book, EspaceNet and TIPO. It following problems must be avoided when you found out the patent could be infringement.

RE-IV-6 CURRENT HEALTHCARE TRENDS IN THE UNITED STATES: ROLE OF THE PHARMACIST Andrew J. Donnelly University of Illinois at Chicago College of Pharmacy, Chicago, Illinois USA Healthcare continues to evolve in the United States, with changes in patient care models and reimbursement for services provided being areas of major focus. The federal government continues to penalize hospitals for excessive readmission rates and has recently expanded its program to include several new conditions. Reducing readmissions is a major initiative of all hospitals in the US today. Payment for services provided in the inpatient setting continues to transition to an episode of care or bundled payment model. This requires the care provided patients to be as cost effective as possible. Emphasis today is placed on keeping patients out of the hospital by focusing on disease prevention and management of patients’ chronic conditions in the ambulatory setting. This will continue to grow in importance. With the increasing use of telehealth, patients will not have to travel to a physician’ s office for care. More and more institutions are starting to take advantage of this technology. Pay for performance models are increasingly being used by payers in the ambulatory setting. Patients must meet certain treatment goals in order for the provider to receive full payment and/ or incentive payments for services provided. This presentation will provide specific examples of programs implemented by the pharmacy department at the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics in response to these trends. These include a pharmacy run transitions of care program, meds to bed program, value analysis program, genomics program, and telemedicine program as well as development of a managed care clinical pharmacist position. Participants attending this session will be able to:  Describe a pharmacist driven transitions of care program  List three initiatives that can be undertaken by a Pharmacy Value Analysis Committee  List three benefits of a pharmacy run telemedicine program  Describe the role of a managed care clinical pharmacist Keywords: transitions of care, meds to bed program, value analysis, genomics, telemedicine

Formulation of potent drug molecules as dosage form still draws continuous interest and challenges against its optimization towards pharmacokinetics parameters like absorption, bioavailability, onset of action, duration of action. The present research work aims to design and evaluate hydrodynamically balanced buoyant formulations of Pregabalin based on Second generation Superporous hydrogels Composites. SPH’s synthesized employing various composite agents viz., Chitosan, Ac-Di-Sol, Carbopol were subjected various characterizations. SPH-Ac-Di-Sol with best results was optimized for further characterization. By water retention studies it was observed that Gelation kinetics gives good information to determine addition time of blowing agent. Density found to be decreased and swelling characteristics were improved by changing drying condition upon dehydration of gel. The results of invitro dissolution studies shows the dry gel coating of SPH Ac-Di-Sol composite was found to be effective in retarding release rate of Pregabalin at rate controlled fashion. By fitting the dissolution data into popular regression and exponential models, all formulations were found to be accepting zero order kinetics with diffusion mechanism. By conducting invivo clinical study, overall assessment of Pregabalin Pharmacokinetic data had revealed that Cmax, Tmax, AUC-0t, KE and T1/2 parameters were totally varied between reference and test formulations.

PE-O-7 FACTORS AFFECTING THE EMPATHY LEVELS OF THE STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES COLLEGE OF PHARMACY Joshua Elijah M. Chavez, Genmar Cyrus S. Pasion, James Louie D.R. Tronco College of Pharmacy, University of the Philippines Manila, Philippines Empathy is known to be an important attribute for health care professionals, as this has been associated with positive clinical outcomes for patients. As such, it is considered as the center of the patient-health care professional relationship. Several studies report that empathy can be developed, even at the level of students. In this study, empathy levels of students of the University of the Philippines College of Pharmacy were measured. Likewise, effects of the different demographic, psychosocial, and academic factors on empathy were explored. A total of 225 students were randomly selected to participate in this study. The Interpersonal Reactivity Index, which consists of four subscales, was used to generate scores that correspond to the respondents’ empathy. The results revealed that five factors were significantly associated with any of the subscales of empathy. Females significantly scored higher than men in the Fantasy and Personal Distress scale. Higher subjective well-being, measured as satisfaction with life, corresponds to an increase in Empathic Concern. Furthermore, extracurricular participation and time spent on organizational work were both shown to be negatively correlated with Personal Distress (p < 0 .001 and p=0.008 respectively) but positively correlated with Perspective-Taking (p=0.008 and p=0.024 respectively). Significant differences were likewise observed between the Fantasy and Empathic Concern scores across the grade weighted average groups. The study confirmed that empathy possesses a multifactorial nature, opening the possibility of its deliberate enhancement in the academic setting.

S-P-77 FLAVONOIDAL CONTENT AND ANTINEOPLASTIC ACTIVITY OF DIFFERENT ARATILES (MUNTINGIA CALABURA, ELEOCARPACEAE) LEAF EXTRACTS Mark Ryan D. Langit, Kahren Yvonne Salbino, Jelly Rhio Nuarin, Irwin Posadas Department of Pharmacy, Saint Louis University, Baguio City, Philippines Cancer remains to be the most frequent cause of morbidity and mortality. However, treatment advances that fight the complex mix of cells in each individual cancer, including traditional therapy and newer forms of treatment, pose limitations and disadvantages on their use due to their accompanying costs and side effects. The demands for potential complementary and alternative phytochemotherapeutic agents that exert antineoplastic activity through its antioxidant property that inhibit the formation of free radicals targeting stable cells continue to arise. This study evaluated flavonoid extract of Aratiles (Muntingia calabura, Eleocarpaceae) leaves for their antineoplastic activity. Methanol was proven to contain the highest flavonoid concentration as compared to three other solvents (ethanol, chloroform and water) that was confirmed using the Aluminum Chloride Assay in comparison with the Quercetin standard. Methanol extract was used for the micronucleus assay. Antineoplastic activity of the sample was determined through the occurrence of induced micronuclei and was compared with the positive control, Cyclophosphamide. Results showed that the different concentrations of the extract had a direct relationship with their ability to induce micronuclei formation. The Independent Sample t-test was used to compare the micronucleus indices of the Aratiles extracts, the positive control, Cyclophosphamide and negative control, Plain Normal Saline Solution to help in the conclusion of the potential similar effects of Cyclophosphamide and the Aratiles extracts. The flavonoid extract of the Aratiles plant possesses a dose-dependent antineoplastic activity since an increasing concentration was observed to have an increasing micronucleus induction.

H-P-100 CASE REPORT: PROLONGED DEXMEDETOMIDINE INFUSION FOR SEDATION IN A CRITICALLY ILL BURN PATIENT Tair Shin Wang, Tzu-Hui Yeh, Ming-Shya Wang, Shu-Hui Sun Department of Pharmacy, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, New Taipei City, Taiwan Maintaining appropriate sedation and analgesia is challenging in critically ill burn patients. In the critical care setting, dexmedetomidine may be a superior alternative compared to traditional sedatives used in mechanical ventilations because of less risk of complications. It is currently approved by the FDA for sedation of mechanically ventilated patients for short term sedation. In Taiwan, there is limited experience on the off label use dexmedetomidine for sustained sedation in critically ill burn patients. We present a case in which dexmedetomidine was used for prolonged sedation and analgesia of a critically ill burn patient. Case report: A 19-year-old male presented with second to third degree burn to 79% of his total body surface. He was on mechanical ventilation and received prolonged dexmedetomidine infusion (0.4 mcg/kg/hr) for 16 days. During dexmedetomidine infusion, an improved quality of sedation was observed (Ramsay scale of 3 out of 6) and the patient demonstrated acceptable pain control (Numeric Rating Scale of 6 out of 10). Cardiovascular status and other adverse effects was closely monitored during treatment. There were no evidence of hypotension, bradycardia, or respiratory depression. Rebound hypertension and tachycardia were absent on discontinuation. Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine is a safe and effective long-term sedation for critically ill burn patients on mechanical ventilation with close cardiovascular monitoring. Keywords: dexmedetomidine, critically ill burn patients

H-P-101 INTEGRATING THE TAIWAN NHI-PHARMACLOUD TO OPTIMIZE MEDICATION RECONCILIATION IN ICU Yi-Ching Yang, Hsi-Hui Chen, Yu-Ying Chu Yi-Ching Chen Department of Pharmacy, Kuang-Tien General Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan Taichung County Pharmacist Association, Taiwan Background:Taiwan National Health Insurance (NHI) PharmaCloud has been launched in 2014. With consent of the insured, physicians and pharmacists can acquire prescription information from different institutions over the preceding 3 months. Objective:To evaluate the impact of integrating the PharmaCloud to medication reconciliation in our intensive care unit (ICU). Method:This was a prospective study. New ICU patients admitted from September 2015 to May 2016 were included. Pharmacists reviewed the PharmaCloud in addition to domestic records to identify medication discontinuity upon ICU admission as well as ICU discharge. When discontinuity was found, pharmacists proposed to consider prescription modification. Results:Medication continuity was reviewed in 1,947 ICU patients. PharmaCloud data was accessible in 77.6%. Among them, 47.1% was taking medications prescribed from different institutions. Discontinuation of long-term medication was found in 407 patients. Forty of them were unintentional while 14 of them were identified from PharmaCloud. The most frequent unintentionally discontinued category of medication was “cardiovascular system” (n=13). Proposal to consider prescription modification were accepted in 90% cases. 75% of unintentional discontinuation occurred upon ICU admission while the most common reason was “medication omission” (50%, n=15). Upon ICU discharge, the most common reason for unintentional discontinuation was “inappropriate medications” (50%,n=5). For intentional discontinuation, the most common reason was “prioritized treatment for other diseases” (n=235). Conclusion:Additional information from the Taiwan NHI-PharmaCloud provided inter-institutional pharmacological information, reduced unnecessary medication discontinuity. With the PharmaCloud, medication safety would be improved by optimizing the continuity of medication. Keywords: Taiwan NHI-PharmaCloud, medication reconciliation, intensive care unit

Clinic Pharmacist Committee, Taipei Pharmacists Association, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. 2 Taipei Pharmacists Association, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. Background: The clinic pharmacists are practicing in a closed, busy, and less informative environment. Pharmacists should pay attention to the details of the legal trap in practice, and avoid violating the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law or Law pharmacists so that guarantee job security. Methods: By organizing "Clinic Pharmacists Forum" to explore (a) regulations (Pharmacists Law, Pharmaceutical Affairs Law). for example, a pharmacist should not leave his/her chop for the prescription seal by others. It is the pharmacist’s responsibility to fill the prescription. (b) Labor Standards Act (labor hours and hours in disguise). for example, there is a problem of paid leave. Pharmacists don’t get pay fo leave for the time being. The rights and obligations of the clinic pharmacist workplace are explored and clarified. Results: A series of seven forums were held and there were more than 400 clinic pharmacists participated, satisfaction more than 92%. Clinic pharmacists receive a better understanding of maintaining a legitimate environment. (1) The pharmacist shall always carry personal chop. (2) Filing of prescriptions. (3) Understanding the provisions of labor hours, and get the right pay for pharmacists. Discussion: The forum is organized by Taipei Pharmacists Association in its good way, but it might have attracted pharmacist’s attendance for Continuing Education credit. Hopefully, pharmacists will participate such a forum and learn about his/her job environment. However, as the forum is held, we expect more pharmacists will join the clinic pharmacists team due to the better understanding of Clinic Pharmacist practicing environment.

Objective: To evaluate a population of hospitalized patients who were simultaneously treated with valproate and carbapenem antibiotics and assess the effect on the plasma concentration of valproate. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to examine the potential drug–drug interaction in patients receiving carbapenem antibiotics and valproate in a regional hospital. The study was screened the hospital system for concomitant prescription of carbapenem antibiotics and valproate during 24 month period from Jan. 1st 2014 to Dec. 25th 2015. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze baseline characteristics, and all p- values were calculated using paired T-test. Results: The carbapenem antibiotics are including meropenem (Mepem®), ertapenem (Invanz®), and imipenem (Tienam®). A total of 516 patients were studied but only 6 patients met the inclusion criteria. During concomitant therapy with carbapenem antibiotics, valproate plasma concentration significantly decreased from 48.25 ± 22.89 mg/L (mean ± SD) to 21.3± 15.79 mg/L ( p=0.009) following carbapenem administration. Conclusions: The coadministration of valproate and carbapenems resulted in decreased trough concentrations of valproate with statistically significant. Clinicians should be aware of this potential interaction and closely monitor serum valproate levels and possible failure to control seizures with the concomitant use of carbapenems. Keywords: drug drug interaction; valproate; carbapenem antibiotics

In Taiwan, PharmaCloud System of the National Health Insurance (NHI) was constructed to integrate patients’ prescribed medications in order to improve patients’ medication safety especially for “Refillable prescriptions for patients with chronic illnesses”. However, community pharmacists encounter certain difficulties. Here, we aimed to identify the impact of this compulsive action of Checking NHI-PharmaCloud System (CPS) with or without using Pharmacy-initiated checking strategy (PICS) on patients’ satisfaction in a community pharmacy. Time and motion technique was used to collect events when patient came for refilling prescriptions in an independent pharmacy in Wenshan district, Taipei city, Taiwan. Before pharmacist starting dispensing, time spent on “checking the NHI-CPS/calculating the remainder of drugs by day (CPS/CRD)”, and “results explanation including communication (EC)” were determined. Average time spent on CPS/CRD plus EC was significantly increased to 143.0 secs with regular NHI-CPS checking (n=13; p < 0 .01) in comparison to the baseline EC= 7.3 secs (n=34). Six patients (46.2%) cannot understand why they cannot have their prescription refilled as prescription said. After pharmacists utilized PICS to screen dates indicated on prescriptions (n=11) before CPS/CRD process, the time spent on EC was reduced from 82.9 seconds to 22.9 (p < 0 .01) without complaints from patients. Application of PICS before evaluating medication utilization via NHI-CPS improves patients’ satisfaction regardless whether they can refill their prescriptions at the day of visiting pharmacy. Efforts to avoid inconsistency between the dates for refills showed on prescriptions institutes and approvals by NHI-CPS are warranted.

C-P-37 ADULTERATION OF THE TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINES IN TAIPEI CITY Pei-fen Chen Department of Health, Taipei City Government To protect the medication safety and health rights of the publicďźŒthe Department of Health of Taipei City Government held annual inspections to products of Chinese herbal, tradition formulas, and original Chinese medicine materials providing by the Chinese medicine clinics and Chinese medicine pharmacies (stores) in Taipei City. In this studyďźŒwe inspected the adulteration prevalence of samples which were collected from the Chinese medicine clinics and Chinese medicine pharmacies (stores) in Taipei City from 2011 to 2015. Samples were analyzed mainly according to their sources, components and types of assays. The results of 409 traditional Chinese medicines showed that 2.44% of the samples were adulterated. The sources of samples were classified into two groups, one was obtained from the regular inspections of Department of Health randomly and the other came from the general public. There were 322 samples from regular inspections of Department of Health randomly and showed the adulteration rate was 0.93%. The 87 samples came from the general public showed the adulteration rate was 8.04%. Among 10 adulterated samples, 4 samples were collected from the Chinese medicine clinics, 4 samples were collected from the Chinese medicine stores, and 2 samples were collected from illegal suppliers. It is concluded that undeclared drugs in traditional Chinese medicines could cause potential health and safety issues to consumers. Means of minimizing the issues must be found and implemented. The results of study showed the approximate status of adulteration of Chinese medicines in Taipei City and would be considered as the reference for future inspections. Keywords: adulteration, Chinese herbal products, Chinese medicine materials

PE-P-16 STUDY OF DRUG OF CASE-BASED DISCUSSION FOR THE CRITICAL CARE PHARMACY PRACTICE COURSE IN PGY PROGRAM Hsiang-Yi Tseng, Yi-Chun Hung, Yuan-Ling Chang, Pei-Liang Chen Department of Pharmacy, Tungs' Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital, Taiwan. Taichung County Pharmacist Association, Taiwan. The Hospital PGY Pharmacy Residency program is designed to develop the skills and confidence required for providing contemporary pharmaceutical care. The Case-based Discussion (CbD) has been implemented since 2014 in our PGY program for Critical Care Pharmacy Practice. We investigated whether this structured discussion would enhance the learning effect in critical care for the trainees. Methods: Pre- and post-tests were performed for the PGY program. Five aspects of learning effect were evaluated. The control group was the trainees during 2012-2013 and the CbD group was the trainees during 2014-2015. Comparisons between the two groups were analyzed using the t-test. The cutoff significance was a p value of 0.05. Results: A total of 14 PGY pharmacists took the Critical Care Pharmacy Practice course in the PGY program during 2012-2015. The CbD group had a CbD session after the course and the control group turn-in reports only. A statistical significance was found between the pre- and post-test in both groups. The score of “pharmaceutical care monitoring and communication skills” was significantly different between the CbD and the control groups, difference between means 2.17±2.84 (95% CI 0.25, 4.09). Discussion: CbD is a structured, non-judgmental review of decision-making and clinical reasoning. A case presented by the trainee is thought to enhance the effectiveness of the assessment process by the trainer and allows more active involvement in the learning. The CbD helps our PGY participants improve their pharmaceutical care monitoring and communication skills. We will try to apply this experience to similar PGY programs. Keywords: case-based discussion; PGY program

It is the committee’s mission of the Taipei Pharmacist Association (TPA) to promote supporting systems for pharmacists who work at the pharmacy affiliated with the community clinics. There are several issues that might interfere with the performance of the practicing pharmacists in patient care. Therefore, the committee scheduled a series of events in order to assist clinic pharmacists if they confront problems. Those events include holding a forum to discuss the legal issues encountered during practices, implementing continued education courses focusing on Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) and organizing recreational activities including vising western pharmaceutical companies or parties for singles. The results are: 1) 63 pharmacists attended the forum lectured by registered lawyers to discuss the possible legal issues confronted by the clinical pharmacists and so fewer problems were reported to TPA. 2) 140 pharmacists attended Traditional Chinese medicine courses. 3) Total 41 pharmacists attended pharmaceutical visits and were expected to enhance their capability of choosing better quality of medications for patients. 4) Total 45 pharmacists attended parties for singles. Single recreational activities were held continuously for six years. In summary, more than 97% attended pharmacists approved contents of continued education lectures and quality of programs provided by this committee of TPA. TCM education was suggested to be enforced to fulfill the expectation of those practicing pharmacists due to their practicing needs.
