Objective: Finger-tip unit (FTU) has been used in Western countries to apply a specific amount of steroid ointment available in tube form.  Although prescription ointments for treating skin disorders are available in Japan, there are no indications for patients regarding the amount to be used.  Therefore, we investigated the factual assessment of patient compliance instructions on using the ointments given by pharmacists and conducted a comparative test on the amount of ointment in 1 FTU using commercially available ointment tube products.Methods: We conducted a questionnaire survey for 21 hospital pharmacists on patient compliance instructions for ointments.  Using six types of ointments, we measured the aperture area of ointment tube, weight of 1 FTU and squeezing number of tube.Results: Fewer than 50% of pharmacists explained the application methods and amounts for one-time use when they provided patient compliance instructions.  There were many patients who used an ointment inadequately.  The most were problems about the quantity of application.  Wide variations were found among the amount of ointment in 1 FTU weight and number of available uses.Conclusion: The survey results demonstrated that the methods used to apply the ointments are items that must also be emphasized by pharmacists when providing patients compliance instructions.  Furthermore, the patient compliance instructions should include the amount of ointment in 1 FTU and number of available uses within pharmaceutical products.

We implemented a questionnaire survey targeting mothers who are in child care and had participated in consultations regarding drugs and diseases. We examined the future roles of community pharmacists by exploring the mothers' concerns and, anxieties about child cares and their backgrounds, and their expectations for profession of community pharmacist. Mothers have listed anxiety and concerns of child care about "dermatitis such as rash and atopic eczema"; "food allergies"; "infectious diseases such as measles, chicken pox, and mumps"; and "side effects of vaccination". In addition, most of them indicated their own concerns and anxiety about "solutions to children's illnesses." Despite their anxieties and concerns, however, approximately 60% of the mothers have never consulted with community pharmacists. Among them, approximately a half of them indicated the following three reasons why they have never consulted with pharmacists: "I have nothing to talk about,", "I do not know what I should talk about,", and "I was not sure if it was alright to talk about my concerns.". From these results, we concluded that community pharmacists in the future should improve their communication skills and inform their availability to consult about medicine and disease to local residents.

Objective: We conducted a meta-analysis on the suppressive effect of resistant maltodextrin on post-prandial blood glucose elevation, which is approved in Japan as food for specified health use, and the following is allowed to be indicated on the label “it is suitable for consumption by those who are concerned about their post-prandial blood glucose levels because the absorption of sugars is abated by the action of dietary fiber (resistant maltodextrin).”Method: Our literature search covered Ichushi-Web (Japan Medical Abstracts Society), Japan Science and Technology Information Aggregator, Electronic (J-stage), Google Scholar, and PubMed databases and extracted English and Japanese publications on randomized, double-blind, controlled studies comparing resistant maltodextrin and a control in Japanese subjects for the reduction of areas under the blood glucose response curves at 30, 60, and 120 min after eating as an efficacy index.Result: Among these publications, four articles with a Jadad score (an assessment of the quality of randomized controlled studies) of ≥ 3 were included in the meta-analysis.  Significant inhibitory effects were confirmed from areas under the blood glucose response curves at 30, 60, and 120 min after eating in the meta-analysis that was performed to evaluate the effects of resistant maltodextrin on post-prandial blood glucose elevation in Japanese individuals.Conclusion: However, we were not able to test for publication bias because the number of extracted publications was small, and thus, additional research and case studies are warranted.

筆者を含め、薬学部や大学院の学生時代に基礎的な実験研究は経験しているものの、ヒトを対象とした研究を経験したことがない者にとって、疫学研究で最も苦労するのが統計であろう。「統計について相談したい」と言えば、「検定方法の選択」を意味することが一般的である。そこで本稿では、筆者が疫学研究に関する投稿論文を査読する際に見かける統計学的仮説検定法の誤用について紹介する。

要 旨:PTP 包装から錠剤を押し出す際,高齢者や手指の不自由な患者に対して押し出しやすい方法を提案することは重要な課題である.今回,PTP 包装からの錠剤の押し出し方法について客観的な評価とともに,人を対象とした官能評価試験で検討した.調剤薬局に来局し,同意を得た患者64 名を対象に,PTP 包装からの錠剤の押し出し方法についての官能評価試験を実施した.その結果,『指の腹』が押し出しやすいと回答した人が18 名(28%),『爪』と回答した人が46 名(72%)であった.データ解析の結果,男性に比べて女性で,さらに年齢が増すにつれPTP 包装から錠剤を取り出す際は,爪の方が押し出しやすいという傾向が明らかとなった.高齢化社会を迎える本邦において,高齢患者への服薬支援の一環として,PTP 包装からの錠剤の押し出しやすい方法の提案についても薬剤師が積極的に関与すべきだと考える.

To assess the changes in attitudes toward smoking after the smoking-prevention classes presented by Kumamoto Tobacco-Free Forum, this study administered a questionnaire survey to first-year junior high school students before and after a smoking-prevention class at a junior high school. The questionnaire that was used to pre and post comparison comprised thirteen items, ten from the Kano Test for Social Nicotine Dependence (KTSND-Youth) and three as follows: "I think I will be a smoker in the future," "I think I will smoke about once," and "What do you think of people around you who smoke tobacco?" The results of this pre- and post-class questionnaire indicate that attitudes toward seven items improved in a statistically significant way. These included four from KTSND-Youth: "Smokers cannot stop even if they want to," "Smoking is adult-like and cool," "Smoking is enjoys taste and a fragrance," and "If it's a place with an ashtray, it's okay to smoke." The smoking-prevention classes significantly decreased total KTSND-Youth scores. Furthermore, the analysis has clarified that the KTSND-Youth items: "Smoking is adult-like and cool" and "Doctor and school teachers say, 'Tobacco is no good too much", as well as the item "What do you think of people around you who smoke tobacco?" are significantly influencing factors for the item "I will be a smoker in the future." These results indicate that the smoking-prevention classes presented by Kumamoto Tobacco-Free Forum were effective for decline in social nicotine dependence of the first-year students in junior high school.
