摘要:OBJECTIVETo provide a reference for the definition of the legal attributes of the provincial Chinese herbal pieces processing norms and the improvement of legal expression for the drug standards in Drug Administration Law.METHODSBased on the legal evolution of local drug standards in China, the composition of national drug standards for Chinese herbal pieces and the composition of current provincial Chinese herbal pieces processing norms were analyzed; at the same time, based on the method of legal interpretation, the legal connotation of the provincial Chinese herbal medicine processing norms in Drug Administration Law was investigated. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONSIn the practice of drug supervision, the provincial Chinese herbal pieces processing norms are essentially local drug standards. The newly revised Drug Administration Law defines the drug standards specifically, but does not stipulate the legal attribute of drug standards for the provincial Chinese herbal pieces processing norms, and there are certain legislative technical defects. It is suggested that when amending the Drug Administration Law, the legal attributes of the drug standards of the provincial Chinese herbal medicine processing norms should be clarified.
摘要:OBJECTIVETo investigate the implementation effects of the national centralized drug volume-based procurement policy (abbreviated as “national centralized procurement policy”) in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region prefecture, and to provide a reference for the future centralized drug procurement work of the medical institution.METHODSDrug procurement data before and after policy implementation were included in the study. The six secondary indicators (such as availability, affordability, and drug safety) and eighteen third-level indicators (such as completion rate of agreed purchase volume, affordability level, drug revenue proportion) were introduced, guided by the policy objectives and issues of concern to policy beneficiaries. Descriptive statistics was adopted to analyze the data before and after policy implementation (in 2019 and 2020) in terms of differences and change trends.RESULTSIn terms of accessibility, the participation rate of medical institutions in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region was 92.55%, the proportion of diseases involved and median completed procurement rate were 40.16%, and 287.82% respectively, and the total centralized delivery rate was 97.20%. In terms of affordability, the total reduction amplitude in drug price was 74.80% from 2019 to 2022; the charge for medicine per capita in hospitalization, the proportion of medicine used for outpatient service and hospitalization, decreased by 17.61%, 10.22%, and 20.10% in order; the burden levels on medical fares for patients were all below 1 in addition to chronic diseases, and anti-tumor drugs. In terms of the impact on medicine, the ratio of adverse drug reaction event cases in 2022 was 66.00%, an increase of 1.29% compared to the previous; since the implementation of the policy, 12 drugs from local pharmaceutical enterprises from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region had passed the consistency evaluation, and the market concentration rate of the top 8 pharmaceutical companies was less than 20.00%. In terms of the impact on healthcare and medical insurance, the public medical institutions achieved generic substitution for originator drugs mostly until 2022; about 9.12% of drugs that were non-centrally purchased in the same category were used; 63.39% of people under investigation did not show a need for a second dressing change; drug expenditure decreased by 2.459 billion yuan.CONCLUSIONSThe national centralized procurement policy achieves a significant effect in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. On the other hand, attention should be paid to these suggestions as follows: expanding the category of drugs used in clinic, conducting clinically comprehensive evaluation of selected drugs, and improving reasonable allocation strategy, etc.

Institutional office quality controllers should pay attention to the attendance and training of authorized personnel at project initiation. The principal investigator, research nurse, collector, handler, transporter, relevant personnel of the central laboratory, and institutional office quality controller have their roles during the project implementation phase. On this basis, all parties involved in the management of biological samples should do a good job of effective communication, find problems and report them in time, and conduct special studies on key aspects.
摘要:OBJECTIVETo study the improvement effects of arbutin on myocardial fibrosis (MF) model rats and its mechanism.METHODSThe network pharmacology was used to predict the potential target of arbutin in improving MF and molecular docking was used to validated. Totally 50 SD rats were given isoprenaline subcutaneously (5 mg/kg, once a day, for 14 consecutive days) to induce the MF model. Modeled rats were randomly divided into model group, captopril group (9 mg/kg), arbutin low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (50, 100, 200 mg/kg), with 10 rats in each group. Another 10 healthy rats were included as normal group. Each group was given the corresponding drugs, once a day, for 28 consecutive days. Twenty-four hours after the final administration, electrocardiograms and heart-related indexes [heart weight index (HWI), left ventricular weight index (LVWI)] of rats were detected; the levels of creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and type Ⅰ collagen (Col Ⅰ) and Col Ⅲ were detected in myocardial tissue of rats; the pathological changes of myocardial tissue were observed, and protein and mRNA expressions of adenosine deaminase (ADA) and adenosine kinase (ADK) were detected in the myocardial tissue of rats.RESULTSThe results of network pharmacology showed that the main targets of arbutin improving MF were ADA and ADK. The results of molecular docking showed that arbutin bind stably with ADA and ADK. The results of experimental verification showed that compared with model group, the amplitude of ST and T waves in electrocardiogram were improved in administration groups, and the symptoms of atrial flutter were alleviated; HWI (except for arbutin medium-dose group), LVWI, the levels of CK, LDH, NT-proBNP, Col Ⅰ and Col Ⅲ in the myocardial tissue of rats were decreased significantly (P<0.05); the degree of myocardial fibrosis in rats decreased; protein and mRNA expressions of ADA and ADK in the myocardial tissue were significantly increased (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONSArbutin can improve cardiac fibrosis and cardiac function of MF model rats, the mechanism of which may be associated with up-regulating protein and mRNA expressions of ADA and ADK, influencing the nucleotide metabolism and collagen generation.
摘要:OBJECTIVETo explore the neuroprotective effect and possible mechanism of celastrol (Cel) and its derivatives (Cel-1, Cel-2) in terms of neuroinflammation and oxidative damage.METHODSNeuroinflammation model of microglial BV2 cells was induced by 1 μg/mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS); oxidative damage model of human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells was induced by 200 μmol/L hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The toxicity of different concentrations of Cel, Cel-1 and Cel-2 (0.625-20 μmol/L) to the two types of cells was investigated. The levels of nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), and IL-6 in BV2 cells induced by LPS at safe concentrations (0.039-0.625 μmol/L) were all detected. The survival rate of SH-SY5Y cells induced by H2O2 was also determined. The expression levels of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), p-PI3K, protein kinase B (Akt), p-Akt, cystatinase 3 (caspase-3), B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-related X protein (Bax) in SH-SY5Y cells induced by H2O2 at 0.156, 0.313, 0.625 μmol/L of active compound 2 were all detected.RESULTSIn the concentration gradient range between 0.039 and 0.625 μmol/L, the results of neuroinflammation model experiments showed that Cel, Cel-1 and Cel-2 could reduce the contents of NO, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in culture medium of BV2 cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01); their IC50 values for neuroinflammation were (0.25±0.04), (0.61±0.14) and (0.11±0.02) μmol/L respectively. Meanwhile, all of them could reverse the phenomenon of decreased cell survival rate after H2O2 treatment in the oxidative damage experiments at a certain concentration (P<0.05 or P<0.01), with neuroprotective EC50 values of (0.43±0.08), (0.45±0.04) and (0.28±0.03) μmol/L, respectively. Induced by H2O2, the phosphorylation of PI3K and Akt protein, protein expressions of Bcl-2 and Bcl-2/Bax ratio were all increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01), while the protein expressions of caspase-3 and Bax were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01).CONCLUSIONSCel, Cel-1, and Cel-2 all have significant neuroprotective activities at certain concentrations, and Cel-2 shows the most significant protective effect. The mechanism of action of Cel-2 may be related to regulating the PI3K/Akt and caspase-3/Bcl-2/Bax signaling pathways, reducing the inflammatory response, oxidative stress damage and inhibiting neuronal apoptosis.
摘要:OBJECTIVETo study the inhibitory effect and mechanism of total flavonoids from Melicope pteleifolia (TF-MPL) on transplanted tumor of colorectal cancer in nude mice.METHODSThe transplanted tumor model of colorectal cancer was induced by injecting 0.2 mL colorectal cancer cell LoVo subcutaneously via the right armpit of nude mice. After successful modeling, nude mice were randomly divided into model group, 5-fluorouracil group (positive control, 10 mg/kg), TF-MPL high-dose and low-dose groups (25, 12.5 mg/kg); a normal group (normal saline containing 0.3% carboxymethyl cellulose sodium) without modeling was additionally set up, with 6 mice in each group. Each group was intraperitoneally injected with the corresponding drug solution/solvent for 21 consecutive days. The inhibitory rate of the transplanted tumor, liver and spleen index, and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum were detected after the last medication; the morphological changes of tumor tissue were observed; immunohistochemical staining was used to detect protein expressions of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and nuclear factor-κB subunit p65 (NF-κB p65) in tumor tissue of nude mice. Western blot assay was used to detect protein expressions of TLR4, myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK-1), NF-κB p65 and caspase-3 in tumor tissue of nude mice.RESULTSCompared with the model group, TF-MPL high-dose group showed a significant decrease in tumor weight (inhibitory rate of 36.91%), liver and spleen index, serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6 and protein expressions of TLR4, MyD88, TRAF6, IRAK-1 and NF-κB p65 (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the expression of caspase-3 protein was increased significantly (P<0.05), and more tumor cell shrinkage and deformation, nuclear pyknosis and fragmentation were observed.CONCLUSIONSTF-MPL can significantly inhibit the growth of transplanted tumor of colorectal cancer in nude mice, the mechanism of which may be associated with reducing inflammatory response, inhibiting TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway, and promoting apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells.

摘要:OBJECTIVETo study the effects of Phellodendron amurense polysaccharides (PAP) on improving gouty nephropathy (GN) in rats, and to investigate its mechanism primarily by interfering the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK)/nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)/tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α).METHODSSixty rats were randomly divided into normal group (water), model group (water), allopurinol group (positive control, 20 mg/kg), PAP high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose groups (100, 50, 25 mg/kg, by raw material) after being stratified by body weight, with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group, the other groups were induced to construct GN model by giving 1 500 mg/kg potassium oxazinate and 100 mg/kg adenine intragastrically for 14 days. After modeling, the rats in each group were given relevant medicine/water intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 28 days. After the last medication, the levels of biochemical parameters related to renal function [uric acid, creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), xanthine oxidase (XOD)] were detected in rats, and the histopathological changes in the rat kidney were observed. The protein expressions of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1), TNF-α and interleukin-6(IL-6) as well as the phosphorylation levels of p38 MAPK and NF-κB p65 protein were determined in renal tissue of rats.RESULTSCompared with the normal group, the model group suffered from the dilatation of renal tubules, structural damage to glomeruli, accompanied by inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis; the contents of uric acid, Cr, BUN and XOD, the protein expressions of MCP-1, TNF-α and IL-6 and the phosphorylation levels of p38 MAPK and NF-κB p65 protein were all increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the pathological symptoms of renal tissue in rats had been improved to varying degrees in different dose groups of PAP; the contents of uric acid, Cr, BUN and XOD, protein expressions of MCP-1, TNF-α and IL-6, the phosphorylation levels of p38 MAPK and NF-κB p65 protein in PAP high-dose and PAP medium-dose groups were all decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01).CONCLUSIONSPAP exhibits an anti-GN effect, the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting the p38 MAPK/NF-κB/TNF-α signaling pathway.

摘要:OBJECTIVETo extract and isolate the four chemical components of Yao medicine Ventilago leiocarpa, and to conduct identification and content determination for them.METHODSThe chemical components of V. leiocarpa were separated and purified by solvent extraction, extraction, silica gel column chromatography and preparative liquid chromatography; then the chemical structures of four isolated compounds were identified based on their spectral data. The contents of four components were determined by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)-quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker (QAMS) method, with the following chromatographic conditions: chromatographic column was Echway GowonTM C18 (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid for gradient elution; the detection wavelength was 269 nm, and the column temperature was 25 ℃. Using emodin as internal reference, the relative correction factors (fi/s) between emodin and the other 3 components were established and used to calculate the content. At the same time, the content of each component was calculated with the external standard method (ESM), and the differences between these two methods were compared.RESULTSFour compounds were isolated from V. leiocarpa, and they were identified as emodin, frangulin A, pleuropyrone A, emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside. The result of HPLC-QAMS showed that the fi/s of pleuropyrone A, emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside and frangulin A were 1.147 2, 0.874 7 and 0.644 4, respectively. The content of these four components was measured as a good linearity (r≥0.999 6); relative standard deviation (RSD) of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 2.00%, and average recoveries were 99.41%-100.46%(RSD≤2.05%). There was no significant difference between QAMS method and ESM (RSD<3.00%).CONCLUSIONSEmodin, frangulin A, pleuropyrone A and emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside are isolated from V. leiocarpa; among them, the last three components are all isolated from for the first time. The established HPLC-QAMS method is accurate and reliable for the determination of 4 components in V. leiocarpa, and can used for quality control of V. leiocarpa.

Further principal component analysis revealed that the principal component comprehensive scores of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis produced in Jiangxi and Hunan were relatively high, ranging from 0.264 to 2.904. The specific chromatogram could effectively distinguish among the different origins and their counterfeit products of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis.CONCLUSIONSThe established UPLC specific chromatogram can be used for quality control of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis, and the study found that the quality of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from Jiangxi and Hunan provinces is relatively good.
摘要:OBJECTIVETo investigate the impacts of andrographolide on sciatic nerve function injury in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) rats by regulating high-mobility group protein box 1 (HMGB1)/receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) signal pathway.METHODSA total of 84 rats were randomly divided into the control group (normal saline), DPN group (normal saline), low-dose andrographolide group (0.833 mg/kg), high-dose andrographolide group (3.332 mg/kg), lipoic acid group (positive control, 0.1 g/kg), recombinant rat HMGB1 protein (rHMGB1) group (8 μg/kg), and high-dose andrographolide+rHMGB1 group, with 12 rats in each group. All rats except those in the control group were fed with high glucose and high fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin to establish the DPN rat model. After 24 hours of successful modeling, medication was administered daily for 8 weeks. The changes in fasting blood glucose, mechanical pain threshold, heat pain threshold and sciatic nerve conduction velocity were detected. Pathological changes in the sciatic nerve of rats and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the sciatic nerve of rats were also detected. Besides, the expressions of HMGB1, RAGE proteins and phosphorylation level of nuclear factor κB p65(NF-κB p65) protein in rat sciatic nerves were found.RESULTSCompared with the control group, the pathological damage of the sciatic nerve of rats in the DPN group was strengthened, the fasting blood glucose, heat pain threshold, MDA content and the expressions of HMGB1, RAGE proteins and phosphorylation level of NF-κB p65 protein were increased (P<0.05), while the mechanical pain threshold, sensory nerve conduction velocity, motor nerve conduction velocity, and SOD activity were decreased/slowed down (P<0.05). Compared with the DPN group, the above indexes were significantly potentiated in the andrographolide low- and high-dose groups and lipoic acid group (P<0.05), and the corresponding trends in the rHMGB1 group were opposite to those in the above three administration groups (P<0.05). Moreover, rHMGB1 attenuated the hypoglycemic effect of high-dose andrographolide on blood glucose and the improvement of oxidative stress injury in the sciatic nerve of DPN rats (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONSAndrographolide may reduce blood glucose by inhibiting the HMGB1/RAGE pathway and oxidative stress, thus ameliorating sciatic nerve injury in DPN rats.

摘要:OBJECTIVETo study the effects of the curcumin derivative bisdemethoxycurcumin (BC) promoting neuronal differentiation of neuroblastoma cells Neuro-2a (N2a) in mice and its mechanism.METHODSThe effects of BC (1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 μmol/L) on the viability of N2a cells were detected by MTT assay to determine the concentration range of drug treatment. The control group, retinoic acid (RA) group (10 μmol/L) and BC groups (1, 2 and 4 μmol/L) were set up, and the length of neural protrusions of the differentiated cells was measured and the cell differentiation rate was calculated after 48 h and 72 h of culture. Compared with 0 min group, Western blot was used to detect the phosphorylation levels of protein kinase B (Akt), extracellular-signal regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38) proteins in cells treated by 4 μmol/L BC for 5, 15, 30, 60, 120 min. After intervention with inhibitors LY294002 (LY) and PD98059 (PD), the effects of BC on Akt and ERK1/2 protein phosphorylation levels and promoting neural differentiation were further validated.RESULTSAccording to the MTT experiment, the BC concentrations for subsequent induction of cell differentiation were determined to be 1, 2, and 4 μmol/L. After 48 hours of differentiation, compared with the control group, the cell differentiation rate in RA group and BC 1, 2 and 4 μmol/L groups, the length of cellular neural processes in the BC 4 μmol/L group significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01);after inducing differentiation of BC for 72 hours, compared with the control group, the cell differentiation rate and the length of cellular neural processes in the RA group, the cell differentiation rate in the BC 4 μmol/L group, and the length of cellular neural processes in the BC 2 μmol/L group all significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Compared with the 0 min group, the phosphorylation levels of Akt, ERK1/2, and p38 proteins in cells of the 5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min groups increased to varying degrees after treated by 4 μmol/L BC, and some differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01). After adding the inhibitor LY/PD, compared with the BC group, the phosphorylation level of ERK1/2 protein in the PD+BC group cells were significantly reduced (P<0.01), and the cell differentiation rates in the LY group, LY+BC group, PD group, and PD+BC group was significantly reduced (P<0.01).CONCLUSIONSBC promotes N2a cell differentiation mainly by increasing cell differentiation rate and neural protrusion length. The mechanism may be related to the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways.
摘要:OBJECTIVETo investigate the monitoring of tacrolimus blood concentration in patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS),and to establish a prediction model for tacrolimus blood concentration.METHODSData from 509 concentration monitoring sessions of 166 NS patients using tacrolimus were collected from January 1, 2020 to August 31, 2023 in Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen University. The relationship of efficacy and adverse drug reaction(ADR) with blood concentration was analyzed. A multilayer perceptron (MLP) prediction model was established by using the blood concentration monitoring data of 302 times from 109 NS patients with genetic information, and then verified.RESULTSIn terms of efficacy, the median blood concentration of tacrolimus in the non-remission group was 2.20 ng/mL, which was significantly lower than that in the partial remission group (4.00 ng/mL, P<0.001) and the complete remission group (3.60 ng/mL, P=0.002). In terms of ADR, the median blood concentration of tacrolimus in the ADR group was 5.01 ng/mL, which was significantly higher than that in the non-ADR group (3.37 ng/mL) (P=0.001). According to the subgroup analysis of the receiver operating characteristic curve, when the blood concentration of tacrolimus was ≥6.65 ng/mL, patients were more likely to develop elevated blood creatinine [area under the curve (AUC) was 0.764, P<0.001); when the blood concentration of tacrolimus was ≥6.55 ng/mL, patients were more likely to develop blood glucose (AUC=0.615, P=0.005). The established MLP prediction model has a loss function of 0.9, with an average absolute error of 0.279 5 ng/mL between the predicted and measured values. The determination coefficient of the validation scatter plot was 0.984, indicating an excellent predictive performance of the model.CONCLUSIONTacrolimus blood concentration has an impact on both efficacy and ADR in NS patients. The use of the MLP model for predicting blood concentration exhibits high accuracy with minimal error between predicted and measured values. The model can be used as an important tool in clinical individualized medication regimens.
摘要:OBJECTIVETo compare the effects of roxadustat and recombination human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) on coronary artery calcification in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.METHODSIn retrospective analysis, MHD patients prescribed roxadustat in the Blood Purification Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from April 2019 to June 2021 were selected as the ROX group (56 patients), and MHD patients prescribed rHuEPO during the same period were selected as the EPO group (60 patients), and follow-up observation was conducted for 12 months. The differences in laboratory index, coronary artery calcification score (CACS), and cardiac ultrasound parameters before and after treatment as well as the occurrence of cardiac and cerebrovascular adverse events during follow-up period were compared between the two groups.RESULTSThere was no statistical difference in CACS between the two groups before and after treatment (P>0.05); but the difference of CACS in the ROX group was significantly lower than the EPO group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in cardiac ultrasound parameters and laboratory indexes between the two groups before and after treatment (P<0.05). The incidence of apoplexy and myocardial infarction in the ROX group was lower than that in the EPO group (P<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of hospitalization due to heart failure between the two groups (P>0.05).CONCLUSIONSCompared with rHuEPO, roxadustat may have a positive effect on delaying coronary artery calcification in MHD patients and may be beneficial in reducing the incidence of myocardial infarction and apoplexy in MHD patients.

摘要:OBJECTIVETo provide reference for the clinically safe application of acalabrutinib by mining and analyzing the risk signals of adverse drug events (ADE).METHODSThe acalabrutinib-induced ADE reports were extracted from the U.S. FDA adverse event reporting system using the OpenVigil 2.1 platform from November 1, 2017 to March 31, 2023. The reporting odds ratio (ROR) method and composite criteria method from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) were used for detection of ADE signals.RESULTSThere were 7 869 ADE reports of acalabrutinib as the primary suspect drug and 142 ADE positive signals were detected from them, involving 20 system organ classes, which was generally consistent with the ADE recorded in the drug instruction of acalabrutinib, mainly involving general disorders and administration site conditions, various inspection, blood and lymphatic system disorders, various neurological disorders and cardiac disorders. In addition, this study identified several new potential ADE signals that were not mentioned in the drug instruction, including sudden cardiac death, pulmonary toxicity, tumor lysis syndrome, pleural effusion, dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, bone pain, decreased blood pressure, and abnormal blood sodium, etc.CONCLUSIONSWhen using acalabrutinib, in addition to paying attention to the ADE recorded in its instructions, the risk of serious ADE that may lead to death, such as sudden cardiac death and pulmonary toxicity, should also be evaluated to avoid or reduce the occurrence of ADE as much as possible.

摘要:OBJECTIVETo understand the information labeling of children’s medication in the instructions of antitussive and expectorant drugs commonly used in children’s medical institutions, analyze the existing problems, and propose relevant suggestions.METHODSThe instructions for 100 antitussive and expectorant drugs commonly used in 20 tertiary children’s hospitals (centers) and 14 maternal and child health hospitals (centers) with regional representativeness in China were collected, and the information labeling of children’s medication in the instructions was investigated and analyzed.RESULTSThere were only 7 kinds of antitussive and expectorant drugs for children, and the others were non-specific drugs for children. Among antitussive and expectorant drugs, tablets accounted for 18.00%, injections for 18.00%, and capsules for 4.00%. Among 100 antitussive and expectorant drugs, 72 (72.00%) labeled the usage and dosage for children, 63 (63.00%) labeled the medication items for children, 59 (59.00%) indicated the information of children in the precautions, and pharmacokinetic parameters for children were absent. Compared with imported antitussive and expectorant drugs or the drugs manufactured by joint ventures, there were many missing labeling of medication information for children with Chinese drugs. Among 63 kinds of drug instructions labeled with medication items for children, various instructions information had little guiding significance.CONCLUSIONSThere is a lack of labeling in the instructions of antitussive and expectorant drugs for children, and the proportion of special drugs for children remains low. Pediatric drug information in the instructions has little guiding significance for pediatric medication. Relevant departments should further promote the completeness of pediatric medication information in the instructions of antitussive and expectorant drugs to ensure the rational use of children’s medication.

摘要:OBJECTIVETo analyze the characteristics and influencing factors of medicine cost for orthopedic surgery patients in Shanxi province, and to provide reference for the rational management of medicine cost in orthopedic surgery patients.METHODSA retrospective analysis was conducted on the case information of 584 204 orthopedic surgery patients in Shanxi province from 2016 to 2021. Medicine cost was analyzed by year, region, hospital level, type of surgery and type of surgical incision. Single factor analysis and generalized linear regression model were used to analyze the influencing factors of total medicine cost, and structural equation model was used for verification.RESULTSThe research findings indicated that joint replacement surgery (42.61%) and post-fracture external fixation surgery (12.60%) were the most common types of procedures. There was statistical significance in medicine cost for different surgical types among different regions and hospital levels (P<0.05). In the Jinzhong region, the total medicine cost for post-fracture external fixation surgery was the highest [(11 719.97±4 374.73) yuan], while in tertiary grade A hospitals, the total medicine cost for post-fracture external fixation surgery was also the highest [(13 584.71±4 531.82) yuan]. Among class Ⅰ incision surgeries, the cost of antibiotics for post-fracture external fixation surgery was the highest [(1 176.25±341.42) yuan]. Generalized linear regression model revealed that hospital location, hospital level, gender, payment method, length of hospital stays, and surgical type were the independent influencing factors for total medicine cost (P<0.05). Structural equation model further disclosed that hospital level, payment type, and surgical type had significant effects on total medicine cost (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONSAttention should be paid to the high cost of antibiotics for class Ⅰ incision surgery, and further research on their rational use should be conducted.
摘要:OBJECTIVETo explore the role of clinical pharmacists participating in the standardized perioperative nutritional management process for pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) on improving postoperative recovery in patients.METHODSThe clinical data of 100 patients undergoing PD in the Department of Biliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University School of Medicine from November 2019 to February 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the different perioperative nutrition management plans, they were divided into clinical pharmacist intervention group (n=51, clinical pharmacists intervened according to the standardized nutrition management process) and control group (n=49, clinical pharmacists only performed preoperative nutrition evaluation, and clinical physicians took nutrition support according to the patient’s condition). The differences in postoperative recovery index, economic evaluation index, hospitalization length, postoperative complications, and postoperative enteral nutrition support route were compared between 2 groups.RESULTSThe time of postoperative diet, the first postoperative ventilation, the first postoperative defecation, and postoperative drainage time of abdominal drain were significantly earlier in the clinical pharmacist intervention group than in the control group (P<0.05); the hospitalization cost, medication cost, nutritional support cost, parenteral nutrition cost, albumin preparation cost, and the length of postoperative hospitalization were significantly lower/shorter in the clinical pharmacist intervention group than in the control group (P<0.05); there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (P>0.05); there was statistically significant difference in the perioperative enteral nutrition support pathways between two groups (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONSClinical pharmacists’ participation in perioperative nutritional management for PD can significantly reduce hospitalization costs and nutritional support costs, improve patients’ perioperative nutritional status, and shorten hospital stays.

摘要:Bone metabolism refers to the decomposition and anabolism occurring during bone remodeling, and its balance is regulated by bone resorption and bone formation. A slight deviation of this balance causes various skeletal diseases, such as osteoporosis and renal osteodystrophy. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) monomers and compounds have certain advantages in treating bone metabolism diseases. The Wnt signaling pathway includes the canonical Wnt signaling pathway, dependent on β-catenin, and the non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway, independent of β-catenin. Both types of pathways can maintain bone metabolism balance by regulating bone formation and bone resorption and are essential for bone development, bone mass maintenance, and bone remodeling. A variety of TCM monomers (albiflorin, catalpol and icariin) and formulas (Zuogui pill, Yishen gugu prescription, Duzhong jiangu prescription, etc.) have been confirmed to promote differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts, bone injury repair, and osteoporosis improvement by activating the Wnt signaling pathway in recent years. Here, this article summarizes the research progress in the Wnt signaling pathway regulation of bone metabolism by TCM monomers and compounds to provide ideas for the clinical application of TCM and the research and development of new drugs for the prevention and treatment of bone metabolism diseases.

摘要:Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer is aggressive and prone to metastasis,and the applications of HER2 agents have improved the prognosis of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Among the marketed HER2 agents,macromolecular monoclonal antibodies that target the extracellular domain Ⅳ of HER2 were the cornerstone drugs of HER2-positive breast cancer,including trastuzumab,inetetamab,and margetuximab. Trastuzumab is available for the full-line treatment of breast cancer with sufficient proof of evidence-based medicine,sufficient practical experience and controllable safety. Inetetamab and trastuzumab have similar efficacy and controllable safety in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy. Margetuximab focuses on patients carrying the CD16A-158F allele,and is an option of posterior line treatment for advanced breast cancer. It is necessary to select the most suitable drugs clinically according to the specific condition of the patient.
