    The proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are widely used as the treatment of choice in acid-related diseases in clinic. Long term use of PPI may further induce abnormal absorption of nutrition (vitamin B12, calcium, iron, magnesium and other minerals), abnormal proliferation of gastrointestinal mucosa, infection, and abnormal bone metabolism (osteoporosis and bone fracture), and so on. Most studies on safety of long term use of PPI are retrospective cohorts or case-control studies. More prospective randomized controlled trials should be performed and good clinical evidences should be obtained for reasonable and safe use of PPI.

    ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors of lansoprazole-induced microscopic colitis (MC).MethodsPubMed, Da-Yi medical search, CHKD and Wanfang databases were searched and articles related to MC induced by lansoprazole were collected. The patients′primary diseases, coexisting diseases, the dosage, the way of administration, combination drugs, latent period, clinical manifestations, colonoscopic findings, the treatment measures, and the outcomes were recorded and the clinical characteristics, the risk factors of MC induced by lansoprazole were analyzed.ResultsA total of 30 articles and 62 patients with MC induced by lansoprazole were retrieved. All articles were case reports and no randomized controlled trials were found. Of all the 62 patients, 22 were male (35.5%) and 40 were female (64.5%) with age from 36 to 92 years and the average age was (69±12) years; 57 patients (91.9%) were >50 years; 43 patients were with collagenous colitis (CC) (69.4%) , 18 patients (29%) were with lymphocytic colitis (LC), and one patient with LC changed into CC (1.6%). All patients were treated with oral lansoprazole. The latent period of MC induced by lansoprazole were 5d-6 years and within 1-6 months in 31 patients (60.8%) . The most common clinical manifestations were non-bloody watery diarrhea (3-10 times daily in 59 patients, >10 times daily in 3 patients). Intestinal mucosal screening was performed for all the patients and mild abnormalities or edema were observed in 37 patients, mucosal defect and mucosal laceration in 11 patients, epithelial collagen layer thickening, inflammatory cells infiltration in lamina propria, increased lymphocytes in intraepithelial spaces in 18 patients. High-risk drugs for drug-induced MC were combined use in 20 patients and the combination drugs in 13 patients were non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Fifty-eight patients with mild or moderate drug-induced MC returned to normal after withdrawl of lansoprazole and treatment with omeprazole or rabeprazole sodium and 4 patients with severe drug-induced MC recovered after withdrawl of lansoprazole and treatment with glucocorticoids.ConclusionsThe clinical characteristics in patients with MC induced by lansoprazole are watery diarrhea, mild abnormality or edema of colon mucosa, and thickening in the epithelium of colonic mucosa in histopathology. Age, gender, and combined use of drugs may be related to occurrence of MC induced by lansoprazole.

    As stated by article 12 of the Drug Administration Law of the People′s Republic of China, the state shall construct pharmacovigilance regulations to monitor, identify, assess, and control adverse drug reactions and other harmful events related to medication. Pharmacovigilance runs throughout the whole life cycle of drug from research and development to clinical use, and the core idea is to prevent and control medication risks and ensure the safety of patients and the general public. As the main places for drug consumption and the key participants in pharmacovigilance activities, the construction of pharmacovigilance system in health facilities is an important part in the construction of national pharmacovigilance regulations. At present, we are at the initial stage of the implementation of national pharmacovigilance regulations. In order to promote the establishment of pharmacovigilance system in health facilities, domestic pharmacovigilance monitoring institutions, relevant academic groups, medical colleges and universities, periodical offices, and social welfare organizations jointly initiate the compilation of Expert consensus on construction of pharmacovigilance system in health facilities by inviting experts and scholars in relevant fields to discuss, distinguish, and analyze the important concepts on adverse drug reactions/events, medication safety, pharmacovigilance, etc., in combination with cutting-edge developments. The consensus puts forward systematic principles and methods on establishing pharmacovigilance system, expecting to provide reference to health facilities in pharmacovigilance system establishment.

    ObjectiveTo observe the adverse reactions of zoledronic acid in the treatment of osteoporosis combined with rheumatic diseases and analyze the potential risk factors.MethodsMedical record data of patients with rheumatic diseases and osteoporosis who were treated with zoledronic acid during hospitalization in Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2011 to December 2014 were collected and a retrospective analysis was conducted. The patients were grouped according to the occurrence of adverse reactions and their demographic characteristics, types of rheumatic diseases and medication regimen of zoledronic acid were compared. The screened risk factors for adverse reactions were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. The results were expressed by odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).ResultsA total of 120 patients were enrolled into the study. There were 41 males and 79 females. Their ages ranged from 23 to 85 years. Of 120 patients, 64 cases (53.3%) received first infusion of zoledronic acid, 66 cases (55.0%) received the treatment with corticosteroids during hospitalization, 58 cases (48.3%) were given antipyretic analgesics before infusion of zoledronic acid and 64 cases (53.3%) received sufficient hydration before and after the infusion; 49 (40.8%) of the 120 patients were reported to have adverse reactions. All adverse reactions were of acute phase responses, including fever in 32 (65.3%), flu-like symptoms in 21 (42.9%), headache in 17 (34.7%), fatigue in 12 (24.5%), myalgia in 10 (20.4%), arthralgia in 8 (16.3%), chills in 6 (12.2%), nausea in 5 (10.2%), vomiting in 4 (8.2%), and dry cough in 1 (2.0%). No severe adverse events occurred. The incidence of adverse reactions in initial infusion patients was significantly higher than that in non-initial infusion patients[51.6% (33/64) vs. 28.6% (16/56), P=0.011]. The incidence of adverse reactions in patients with  corticosteroid therapy was significantly lower than that in patients with no corticosteroid therapy[24.2% (16/66) vs. 61.1% (33/54), P<0.001]. The patients who were given sufficient hydration before and after the infusion also had significantly lower incidence of adverse reactions than those without sufficient hydration treatments[31.2% (20/64) vs. 51.8% (29/56), P=0.023]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that initial infusion was a risk factor for adverse reactions (OR=2.631, 95%CI: 1.132-6.116, P=0.025). However, oral corticosteroid and sufficient hydration treatments before and after the infusion were protective factors (OR=0.232, 95%CI: 0.102-0.526, P<0.001; OR=0.379, 95%CI: 0.164-0.874, P=0.023).ConclusionsAcute phase responses related to zoledronic acid are common in the treatment of patients with rheumatic diseases and osteoporosis. Iniaial infusion is closely associated with adverse reactions of zoledronic acid, but oral corticosteroid and sufficient hydration treatments before and after the infusion might decrease the incidence of adverse reactions.

    Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) usually manifests as persistent pain and sensory abnormalities, and in severe cases, loss of vibration and joint position sensation, autonomic and motor dysfunction may occur, severely affecting patients′ quality of life. Mitochondrial dysfunction may be one of the mechanisms by which chemotherapeutic drugs induce peripheral neuropathy. Different mitochondrial dysfunction caused by different chemotherapy agents are reviewed from 5 aspects in this paper, including abnormal neuronal mitochondrial morphology, activation of mitochondrial permeability transition pore and its associated calcium imbalance, dysfunction of mitochondrial bioenergetics, oxidative stress, and abnormal axonal mitochondrial transport. Avoiding or improving mitochondrial dysfunction is the main strategy to prevent or mitigate CIPN.

    Monoclonal antibody (mAb) drugs belong to protein drugs, which are characterized by high relative molecular weight, strong polarity, and limited transmembrane. Their pharmacokinetics have certain particularity and complexity, and problems such as large individual differences in therapeutic effects, diverse biological effects, and loss of therapeutic response exist in clinical application. The blood concentration of mAb drugs is affected by many factors including the number of receptors at the target site, the level of anti-drug antibody, and the interaction between drugs. Early monitoring is helpful to timely adjust the dose of mAb drugs, improve the efficacy, and avoid or reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions. Clinical monitoring should be actively carried out to improve the level of rational use of mAb drugs and the ability of early warning of adverse reactions, so as to reduce the drug-induced injury in patients.

    Insulin switching is very common in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, which is an important link that affects the safe use of insulin. At present, insulin switching, including selection of different insulin products, dosage adjustment, and patient education has been explained in the guidelines issued by the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and China. Relevant information on insulin switching is various and scattered and there is a lack of systemicity and comprehensiveness. It is suggested to refer to the guidelines of other countries, fully analyze the clinical characteristics of diabetes mellitus in China, and base on the real-world research data to formulate a systematic insulin switching guideline in line with China′s national conditions, in which the selection of insulin products, dose adjustment, patient education, dietary advice, and blood glucose monitoring, etc. can be described in detail. In addition, strengthening patient tracking and medication monitoring is also a necessary mean to ensure the safety in insulin switching.

    Objective To compare the pharmacokinetics and safety of single intravenous injection of the generic bevacizumab injection WBP264 and the original bevacizumab injection Avastin- in healthy male volunteers. Methods The study was designed as a randomized, double-blind, single dose, parallel, and controlled phase I clinical trial. Healthy male volunteers who were recruited publicly were randomized into the trial group (intravenous infusion of WBP264) and the control group (intravenous infusion of Avastin-), and the dose was 3-mg/kg. Peripheral venous blood was collected within 30-minutes before administration, 45-minutes after onset of the administration, immediately after finishing the administration, 2.5, 3.5, 5.5, 9.5, 13.5, 24, 48-hours and on the 5th, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th, 36th, 43rd, 57th, 71st, 85th, and 99th days after the administration. The plasma concentration was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the plasma concentration-time curve and its semilogarithmic plot were plotted, and the pharmacokinetic parameters such as the area under the plasma concentration-time curve [including AUC from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t) and AUC from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞)], peak concentration (Cmax), time to peak (Tmax), plasma elimination half-life (t1/2), clearance rate (CL), and apparent volume of distribution (Vd) were calculated. When the 90% confidence intervals (CI) of the geometric mean ratio of AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, and Cmax between the trial group and the control group were between 0.80-1.25, it indicated that pharmacokinetics of WBP264 and Avastin- were similar. The physical examination, vital signs detection, electrocardiogram, and laboratory tests were performed on the subjects, the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) and the severity classification were recorded, and correlation between the AEs and the trial drug was evaluated. The anti-drug antibody and its neutralizing antibody were detected before administration and on the 8th, 15th, 29th, 43rd, 71st, and 99th days after administration to evaluate the immunogenicity of the drug. Results A total of 78-subjects were recruited, 39 in the trial group and 39 in the control group. In the trial group, 2 cases withdrew from the trial (1 case did not take the drug and 1 case withdrew for personal reason after taking the drug). Seventy-seven cases were in the safety analysis set and 76 cases in the pharmacokinetic analysis set. The differences in age, height, weight, and body mass index between the 2 groups were not significant (all P>0.05). The plasma concentration-time curves of bevacizumab between the trial group and the control group were similar. The geometric mean ratios (90%CI) of AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, and Cmax were 1.04 (0.98-1.10), 1.03 (0.98-1.10), and 1.09 (1.03-1.14), respectively. The differences in the incidence of overall AEs [89.5% (34/38) vs. 87.2% (34/39)] and the incidence of AEs possibly related to the trial drug [86.8% (33/38) vs. 79.5% (31/39)] between the trial group and the control group were not significant (all P>0.05). Only one case of AE in the trial group was grade 3 in severity and was assessed as being not related to the drug, and the rest were grade 1-2, with grade 1 AEs accounting for the vast majority. The difference in the positive rate of anti-drug antibody between the trial group and the control group was not significant [10.5% (4/38) vs. 10.3% (4/39), P>0.05]. The neutralizing antibody test was negative in the patients with positive anti-drug antibody. Conclusion The pharmacokinetics and safety of WBP264 and Avastin- are similar.

    Allergic diseases have serious influence on human health and quality of life. Cytokines secreted by T-helper cell type 2 (Th2), such as interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13, play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases. By recognizing and binding to IL-4 and IL-13 receptors, dupilumab can block the signal transduction pathways of IL-4 and IL-13, inhibit Th2 inflammatory reaction, and thus play a therapeutic role in allergic diseases. At present, dupilumab has been on the market in many countries and regions around the world, yet with different indications approved, mainly including atopic dermatitis, moderate-to- severe eosinophilic asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, eosinophilic esophagitis, etc. In addition, this drug may also have better curative effect on IgE-mediated allergic reactions and other dermal diseases. Meanwhile, the safety profile of dupilumab is generally good and the common adverse reactions mainly include injection site reactions (pain, ecchymosis and swelling at the injection site), ocular diseases (conjunctivitis, keratitis, itchiness of eyes and dry eyes), oral herpes, headache, and other herpes simplex virus infections. In China, dupilumab has been approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in patients aged ≥6 years, showing good efficacy and no obvious safety problems.

    There are risks in the use and management of perioperative analgesics, which may be caused by analgesic methods, individual patient factors, or medication errors. In order to reduce the risk in perioperative analgesics use and improve the level of safe drug use, Medication Safety Panel in China Core Group of International Network for the Rational Use of Drugs, Chinese Pharmacological Society Professional Committee of Drug-induced Diseases, Adverse Drug Reactions Journal Agency, Beijing Municipal Health Commission Clinical Safety Medication Working Group organize the domestic pharmacy experts and anesthesiology experts to formulate the guideline. The risks prevention and management measures of perioperative analgesics were described from 3 aspects including management, drugs, and special populations. The management- related risks include the risks during the formulation of analgesia plan, the risks in information/goods/drugs transmission, the risks in the use of intraoperative analgesics and analgesia pumps, which can be prevented by formulating rules and regulations, strengthening training, and improving information technology. Drug-related risks are inherent properties of drugs. Analgesics are classified into narcotic analgesics, antipyretic analgesics, and analgesic auxiliary drugs. Corresponding prevention strategies can be formulated according to the risk points of specific drugs. Special populations including the elderly, pregnant and lacta- ting women, and children, etc. have their own physiological and pharmacokinetic characteristics and countermeasures can be formulated according to specific conditions. Through comprehensive monitoring of perioperative analgesics use, the risk can be predicted, the circumvention plan can be formulated, and the pharmaceutical care can be implemented, so as to ensure the medication safety of patients. This guideline is applicable to all medical personnel who use and monitor perioperative analgesics.

Forty-eight guinea pigs were divided into 6 groups according to random number table: breviscapine injection 1, 5, 25 and 50 mg/kg group (the breviscapine injection group 1, 2, 3, 4), 0.9% sodium chloride injection group (the negative control group) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) control group (the positive control group). Each group comprised 8 guinea pigs. Sensitization: the guinea pigs in group 1 to 4 were given the breviscapine injection  at doses of 1, 5, 25 and 50 mg/kg (0.5 ml) by intraperitoneal injection every other day for three times, respectively. The the guinea pigs in the negative control group and the positive control group were given 0.9% sodium chloride injection (0.5 ml) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) 20 mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection every other day for 3 times, respectively. Excitation: the sensitized guinea pigs in each group were divided into 2 subgroups, each subgroup comprised 4 guinea pigs. On the 14 and 21 days after the last sensitization, the guinea pigs in breviscapine 1 to 4 subgroups received 2 times of breviscapine injection intravenously (1.0 ml), respectively. The guinea pigs in the negative and the positive control subgroups  received 2 times of control articles intravenously, respectively. The symptoms of anaphylactic reaction (pilo-erection, shiver, scratching nose, sneeze, cough, vomiturition, cyanosis, dyspnea, urinary and fecal incontinence, instability of gait or tumble, convulsion or hyperspasmia, shock and death) were observed every day during the sensitization phase. The guinea pigs′ reactions which appeared in 30 min after intravenous injections were observed and the occurrence time of allergic symptoms/signs were recorded attentively. The anaphylactic reaction was determined according to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia′s allergic reaction test. ResultsThe guinea pigs in 6 groups did not show any allergic symptoms in the sensitization phase. Within 30 min in fourteenth days′ excitation,  2, 4, 4, 4 guinea pigs developed allergic reactions in the breviscapine 1 to 4 groups, respectively. But none of them were identified as allergic reaction. The 4 guinea pigs in the positive control group were judged to have positive allergic reaction. Within 30 min of 21 days′ excitation, 4、3、4、4 guinea pigs developed allergic reactions in the breviscapine 1 to 4 groups, respectively. Only one guinea pig in the breviscapine 4 group was identified as allergic reaction. The 4 guinea pigs in the positive control group were all judged positive allergic reaction. The guinea pigs in the negative control group did not develop any allergic reactions during the 2 times of excitation. The occurrence time of allergic reactions in the breviscapine groups (within 20 min after excitation) on 21 days′ excitation was shorter than those (within 25 min after excitation) occurred on 14 days′ excitation, but the difference was not statistically significant.ConclusionsThe active systemic allergic reactions induced by breviscapine injection are associated with drug dose and sensitization time. The larger dose and longer sensitization time can increase the risk of allergic reaction and shorten the latency of allergic reaction.

    From March 2013 to December 2018, Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and China successively issued guidelines on therapeutic drug monitoring of voriconazole. It is recommended in guidelines at home and abroad that voriconazole should be given a loading dose, and the blood drug concentration of patients should be monitored on the third day; when adjusting the dose, adverse events occurrence or poor efficacy, increasing or stopping the drugs that may interact, and sequential administration, the blood drug concentration should be monitored again. The clinical characteristics of voricona- zole-related adverse events have been clearly defined. After adverse reactions occur during the treatment period, the drug can be stopped or reduced according to its severity. Voriconazole is not only the substrate of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP3A4, but also an inhibitor of them. We should pay attention to the interaction between voriconazole and other drugs.  In the future, further research is needed to accumulate more evidence-based medical evidences for the use of the drug in different medication purposes, different diseases or different fungal infections, Child-Pugh grade C severe liver disease, and children <2 years old, so as to provide reference for clinical individualized treatment.

    Objective To analyze the risk of diabetes mellitus related to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Methods The adverse event (AE) reports on fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (FT1DM), type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which were related to duvalizumab, pabolizumab, nivolumab, and atezolizumab in the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System from the first quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2021, were collected.The correlation between the 4 drugs and FT1DM, T1DM,and DKA were evaluated using proportional reporting odds ratio (PRR) method.AE with reports ≥3, PRR value≥2, and χ2≥4 were judged to have statistical correlations with drugs. The greater the PRR value, the stronger the correlation between AE and drugs and the stronger the risk signals. Results A total of 1-468 AE reports on diabetes mellitus were collected, 53, 386, 957, and 72 of which were related toduvalizumab, pabolizumab, nivolumab, and atezolizumab, respectively. For duvalizumab, pabolizumab, nivolumab, and atezolizumab, the PRR reflecting the correlation with FT1DM were 21.97 (χ2=40.71), 71.50 (χ2=3-531.21), 294.30 (χ2=4-3915.75), and 33.58 (χ2=279.70), respectively; the PRR reflecting correlation with T1DM were 12.12 (χ2=162.08), 21.04 (χ2=3391.17), 20.99 (χ2=5816.11), and 9.71 (χ2=224.81), respectively; the PRR reflecting correlation with DKA were 6.93 (χ2=161.26), 4.78 (χ2=426.52), 6.82 (χ2=1797.15), and 3.04 (χ2=41.84), respectively. The 4 drugs were statistically correlated with their corresponding AE. The order of risk signal intensity for corresponding AE was FT1DM > T1DM > DKA. The order of risk signal intensity for FT1DM were nivolumab > pabolizumab > duvalizumab > atezolizumab, for T1DM were pabolizumab ≈ nivolumab > duvalizumab > atezolizumab, for DKA were duvalizumab ≈ nivolumab > pabolizumab > atezolizumab. Conclusions Duvalizumab, pabolizumab, nivolumab, and atezolizumab all can cause diabetes mellitus. The risk signal intensity was the strongest for FT1DM, followed by T1DM and DKA in order.

     A small amount of commonly used and first-aid drugs stored in the inpatient wards can facilitate the temporary treatment of patients and save precious time for the treatment of critically ill patients. But there is a risk of medication errors in the link of drug storage in the inpatient wards. In order to strengthen the management of drug storage in the inpatient wards and reduce medication errors, experts in medicine, pharmacy, nursing, hospital management, and etc., were organized by Medication Safety Panel in China Core Group of International Network for the Rational Use of Drugs, Chinese Pharmacological Society Professional Committee of Drug-induced Diseases, and Adverse Drug Reactions Journal Agency, to formulate the guideline for prevention of medication errors in the link of drug storage in inpatient wards based on the Expert Consensus on Medication Error Management in China. The medication errors in the link of drug storage in the inpatient wards include improper storage of drugs, wrong drug specifications, wrong drug quantity, and wrong drug placement. The risk factors include management factors (unsound management system, no designated person or post management, or no regular inspections and supervision), process factors (no corresponding standard operation process, or only imperfect or unreasonable operation process), environmental factors (unqualified drug storage space and equipment, or no special labels), human factors (no training for personnel involved in drug use, or unreasonable staff arrangement), and drug factors (too many types and quantity of drugs in inpatient wards). The prevention strategies include technical strategies (enforcement and constraint management policies, implement of informatization and intelligence management, and formulation of standardized marks and processes, and establishment of standard catalog list and audit project list) and management strategies (establishment of management systems, provision of sufficient human resources, and enhancement of training).

    Objective To explore the adverse reaction risk signals of perampanel-related psychia- tric disorders, and provide reference for the clinical safe application of perampanel. Methods The US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database was searched, and the adverse event (AE) reports on psy- chiatric disorders from the third quarter of 2012 to the third quarter of 2021, which judged perampanel as the primary suspect drug were collected. The expression of AE was standardized using the preferred term (PT) in the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities. Data such as patient general condition and psychiatric AE outcomes was extracted from AE reports and was analyzed descriptively. Risk signal mining for psychiatric adverse reactions to perampanel was performed using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method. The positive signal PT was set as that the number of AE reports was 3 and more and the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the ROR was greater than 1. Results A total of 922 reports on psychiatric AE with perampanel as the primary suspect drug were collected. Of the 922 patients involved, 439 were male, 441 were female, and 42 were unknown in gender. Age were recorded in 676 patients, and the age was (38±19) years. AE outcomes were recorded in 807 patients, of which hospitalization/prolonged hospitalization, urgent treatment needs, life threatening, and death due to AE occurred respectively in 409 (44.4%), 316 (34.3%), 60 (6.5%) and 22 patients (2.4%). The 922 AEs involved 1-580 PTs, and 46 PTs were detected with positive signals by ROR method. The top 5 PTs mostly reported were aggression (286 AEs), irritability (128 AEs), suicidal ideation (110 AEs), suicide attempt (100 AEs), and anger (77 AEs). The top 5 PTs with strongest signal intensity (ROR value) were postictal psychosis (383.13), schizophreniform disorder (355.27), homicidal ideation (203.56), dissociative disorder (119.64) and delusional perception (108.34), among which dissociative disorder and postictal psychosis were AEs not recorded in the drug labels. In the 46 PTs with positive signal, 14 (30.4%) were not recorded in the drug labels, and the other 12 PTs were listed as sexually inappropriate behaviour (81.43), suspiciousness (65.20), disinhibition (32.72), impulsive behaviour (31.18), perso- nality change (22.56), abnormal behaviour (16.31), social avoidant behaviour (12.95), restlessness (6.15), bipolar disorder (5.23), affect lability (5.09), nightmare es (2.86), and fear (2.79). Conclusion psychiatric adverse reaction is a common and serious adverse reaction of perampanel, which should be paid attention to clinically.

    Objective To mine risk signals related to tafamidis, which was a rare disease drug and newly included in the medical insurance list. Methods The drug-related adverse event (AE) reports from the 1st quarter of 2013 to the 2nd quarter of 2022 were searched based on the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System and AE reports with tafamidis as the primary suspect drug were extracted. The report odds ratio (ROR) method and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN) method were used to detect the AE risk signals of tafamidis. A target AE with reports ≥3 and 95% confidence interval (CI) lower limit of ROR>1 was defined as a positive signal for ROR method and the larger the ROR and its lower limit of 95%CI, the stronger the signal strength. The information component (IC)-2SD>0 (SD is the standard deviation) was defined as a positive signal for BCPNN method, and the larger the IC-2SD value, the stronger the signal. According to the preferred system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) from terminology of adverse drug reactions in Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities, AEs were counted and classified. The risk signal with positive detection results from both ROR and BCPNN methods was determined as the AE risk signal of tafamidis and analyzed. Results A total of 3-999 cases with tafamidis as the primary suspect drug were collected, including 2-942 males (73.6%), 688 females (17.2%), and 369 unknown cases (9.2%); 3-148 cases (78.7%) aged >65 years, 192 cases (4.8%) aged 18-65 years, 52 cases (1.3%) aged <18 years, and 607 cases (15.2%) were unknown; 1-064 patients were with cardiac amyloidosis, 872 patients with cardiac amyloidosis, 148 patients with peripheral nerve amyloidosis, and 176 with other diseases; 1-403 cases (35.1%) died. A total of 110 positive signals were screened with both ROR and BCPNN methods, involving 20 SOCs. The top 5 PTs of AE reports were dyspnea (338 cases), fatigue (301 cases), edema (167 cases), dizziness (111 cases), and fall (110 cases). The SOC involved were systemic lesions, neurological diseases, respiratory/thoracic and mediastinal diseases, examination, metabolic and nutritional diseases. The top 5 PTs (ROR and the 95%CI lower limit) were early feeling of fullness (28.07,11.64), lumbar spinal stenosis (26.73,15.15), aortectasia (24.36,9.11), hypoxia (22.64,10.15), and cervical radiculopathy (22.13,7.11). Four of the top 20 PTs in the AE reports were not recorded in the drug label, including dizziness, height loss, chest pain, and renal failure; 16 of the top 20 PTs in signal strength (ROR method) were not recorded in the drug label, including lumbar spinal stenosis, aortic dilatation, physical decline, cervical radiculopathy, height reduction, carotid artery disease, hyperlipidemia, orthopnea, peripheral vein disease, benign prostatic hyperplasia, carpal tunnel syndrome, emaciation, foreign body sensation in the throat, immune thrombocytopenia, positional dizziness, and aortic atherosclerosis. Conclusion Through data mining, it is found that early feeling of fullness, lumbar spinal stenosis, aortic dilatation, physical decline, and cervical radiculopathy may be the common adverse events of tafamidis, some risk signals are not recorded in the drug label, which should be paid attention to during the clinical use.

    A 77-year-old male patient with rheumatoid arthritis was given methotrexate 10-mg once a week, tripterygium glycosides 20-mg twice daily, and methylprednisolone 8-mg once daily orally. However, the patient confused the medication frequency of methotrexate with tripterygium glycosides and mistakenly took methotrexate 5-mg twice daily. After 4 days of medication (taking methotrexate 7 times, 35-mg in total), the patient developed severe oral ulcers, generalized rash, fever, cough, and expectoration. Laboratory tests showed white blood cell count 1.21×109/L, serum creatinine 288-μmol/L, γ-glutamyl- transferase 163-U/L, alanine transaminase 82-U/L, and alkaline phosphatase 235-U/L. After 6 days of medi- cation, laboratory tests showed white blood cell count 0.13×109/L, neutrophil count 0.01×109/L, serum creatinine 317-μmol/L, estimated glomerular filtration rate 18-ml/(min·1.73 m2), C-reactive protein 233.8-mg L, and procalcitonin 14.31-μg/L. The patient was diagnosed as having methotrexate poisoning, myelosuppres- sion, renal insufficiency, and pulmonary infection. All drugs were discontinued immediately. Blood perfusion, intravenous injection of calcium folinate, and symptomatic treatments such as anti-infection, elevation of white blood cells, blood transfusion, rehydration, and mouth care were given. However, the patient′s infection and myelosuppression continued to worsen, and he died of multiple organ failure 12 days later.

    Objective To explore the application value of radioisotope tracer technology in clinical research of biological drugs. Methods The pharmacokinetic properties of mepuzumab in healthy volunteers were evaluated by measuring the radioactive concentrations of iodine in blood and urine samples of 3 healthy volunteers at different time points within 14 days after intravenous infusion of 131I-labeled international class I new drug mepuzumab (Trial 1). Positron emission computed tomography (PET/CT) was performed on 6 healthy volunteers after intravenous injection of 68Ga-labeled nucleic acid aptamer Sgc8, and the standard uptake values of 68Ga-Sgc8 in different organs were measured to evaluate its biodistribution in healthy humans (Trial 2). Nine patients with suspected neuroendocrine tumors underwent single photon emission and X-ray computed tomography (SPECT/CT) 4 hours after intravenous injection of 99mTc-labeled octreotide to determine the radioactive uptake level in the regions of interest; the affinity and targeting of 99mTc- labeled octreotide to somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2) were evaluated in combination with the immunohistochemical staining results of SSTR2 in patients′ biopsy tissues (Trial 3). Results The 3 healthy volunteers included in Trial 1 were male, aged 28, 45, and 25 years respectively; the injection doses of 131I-labeled mepuzumab were 21.0, 25.9, and 17.6-mg, and the injection doses of radioactivity were 364, 420, and 304 MBq, respectively. Among the 6 healthy volunteers included in Trial 2, 3 were male and 3 were female, with an age of (46±11) years, ranging from 35 to 63 years. The dose of radioactivity injected was (80±7) MBq, ranging from 69 to 87 MBq. Among the 9 patients included in Trial 3, 5 were male and 4 were female, with an age of (54±10) years, ranging from 39 to 69 years. The dose of radioactivity injected was (777±74) MBq, ranging from 740 to 925 MBq. After intravenous infusion of 131I-labeled mepuzumab, the blood radioactivity concentration reached the peak 1.5-hours later. 131I-labeled mepuzumab mainly bound to blood cells, and its whole-blood clearance half-life was 420-hours. The urine radioactivity concentration reached the peak 16-24-hours after administration and then gradually decreased after 24-hours of administration. After intravenous injection of 68Ga-labeled Sgc8, the organs with strong to weak radioactive signals were bladder, kidney, heart, uterus, liver, spleen, gallbladder, large intestine and lung. Within 3 hours after drug administration, the clearance rate was fastest in heart, followed by uterus, kidney, and liver; the clearance rate was slower in spleen and gallbladder and were slowest in large intestine and lung. All of the 9 patients had abnormal radioactivity accumulation 4 hours after intravenous injection of 99mTc-labeled octreotide and the immunohistochemical staining results of biopsy tissues showed strong positive expression of SSTR2, indicating that 99mTc-labeled octreotide had good affinity and targeting to SSTR2. The safety evaluation showed that in Trail 1, one subject developed iodine-related hyperthyroidism one month after intravenously infusion of 131I-labeled mepuzumab, which returned to normal after 8 months of continuous monitoring without intervention. No adverse reactions occurred in other subjects. Conclusions Radioisotope tracer tech- nology can noninvasively, dynamically, and visually evaluate the pharmacokinetics, biological distribution, and targeting of biological drugs in human body. It has good safety and great application value in the clinical evaluation of biological drugs.

    Objective To understand the main adverse event (AE) related to denosumab and the risks and provide reference for the safe use of the drug in clinic. Methods The AE reports on denosumab included in the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System from the second quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2021 were collected, and the AE risk signals was explored using proportional reporting odds ratio (PRR) method. AEs with ≥3 reports, PRR value ≥2, and χ2≥4 were defined as positive risk signals. AEs were counted and classified using the preferred system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 24.0. The PTs of top 50 adverse event reports and signal intensity were selected and analyzed. Results A total of 132-764 AE reports with denosumab as the primary suspected drug were collected, involving 5-571 PTs, and 641 positive risk signals were selected. After the second screening, the top 50 PTs in the number of AE reports and the top 50 PTs with great PRR values were obtained, and 93 PTs were included in the analysis after sifting out the repeated, involving 114-617 AE reports. The top 5 PTs in the number of AE reports were off-label use (28.7%, 32-863/114-617), death (14.2%, 16-230/114-617), osteonecrosis of the jaw (6.0%, 6-861/114-617), arthralgia (4.7%, 5-420/114-617), and limb pain (4.1%, 4-727/114-617). The top 5 PTs with the high signal intensity were giant-cell tumour of bone (PRR=402.7), malignant giant-cell tumour of bone (PRR=325.2), C-telopeptide increase (PRR=169.4), exostosis of jaw (PRR=163.2), and ionised calcium abnormal (PRR=158.1). The top 5 SOC involving AE reports were injury, poisoning and procedural complications (35.9%, 41-757/114-617), musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders (32.7%, 37-455/114-617), general disorders and administration site conditions (18.2%, 20-814/114-617), surgical and medical procedures (4.1%, 4-744/114-617), and investigations (2.9%, 3-290/114-617). Forty-four PTs were not included in the drug instructions, of which 23 were related to the oral cavity. Conclusions Denosumab AE with the most reports were off-label use and osteonecrosis of the jaw. The risk signals of osteonecrosis of the jaw and recurrence or deterioration of giant-cell tumor of bone was strong. Most of the AE risk signals that were not included in the instructions are oral problems.

    Objective To understand the clinical characteristics of rivaroxban- related adverse events (AE) in perioperative patients. Methods The relevant databases at home and abroad (as of April 20, 2020) were searched and the case reports of AE associated with rivaroxban used during perioperative period were collected. Relevant information in patients (nationality, gender, age, medical history, application of rivaroxaban, combined drugs, and the occurrence, treatment, and outcome of AE, etc.) was extracted and analyzed descriptively. Results A total of 42 case reports of AE caused by rivaroxban during perioperative period were collected, involving 46 patients from 11 countries. Of the 46 patients,25 (54.3%) were male and 21 (45.7%) were female with an age of 16-96 years. In terms of the reasons for medication, 34 patients used rivaroxban before operation for prevention of postoperative venous thrombosis, 7 used rivaroxban after operation for prevention atrial fibrillation, stroke, or systemic thrombosis after operation, 4 discontinued rivaroxban during perioperative period, and 1 did not explain the reason for using rivaroxban. Past medical history were described in 21 patients, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes, etc. Combined medication was described in 22 patients, including antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular drugs, etc. The onset time of AE was recorded in 31 patients, which was 2 hours to 2 months after medication and most within 1 month. AE associated with rivaroxban were bleeding in 29 patients, liver injury in 7 patients, anaphylaxis in 6 patients, kidney injury in 3 patients, thrombosis in 3 patients, thrombocythemia in 2 patients, thrombocytopenia, pulmonary embolism, acute attack of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, and visual loss in 1 patient each. After the occurrence of AE, 31 patients were improved after rivaroxban withdrawn, switching to other anticoagulants, and receiving symptomatic treatment; 1 patient improved after changing concomitant medications as well as reducing the dose of rivaroxban; 2 patients did not stop the drug in time and developed new allergic reaction; 2 patients were improved after using rivaroxban again; 1 patient died of hemorrhagic shock due to gastrointestinal bleeding; 9 patients′ outcome were unknown. Among the 46 patients, 18-had medication errors, of which 16-had dose error and 2 had compatibility errors. Conclusions Hemorrhage is the most common AE related to rivaroxban in the perioperative use of rivaroxban, which mainly occurs within 1 month after medication. The overall prognosis is good after rivaroxban withdrawal, switching to other anticoagulants, and symptomatic treatment. Medication error is one of the causes of AE related to rivaroxban in perioperative period.

Methods PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang, and VIP databases were searched up to April 30, 2022. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) about NSCLC treated with EGFR-TKI (8 kinds listed in China, including gefitinib, erlotinib, icotinib, afatinib, dacomitinib, osimertinib, almonertinib, and furmonertinib) compared with chemotherapy were collected. Patients was treated with EGFR-TKI monotherapy in the trial group and chemotherapy in the control group. The outcomes included the occurrence of ILD. RevMan 5.4-software was used for meta-analysis, and the effect sizes were odds ratio (OR) and the 95% confidence interval (CI). Results A total of 15 RCT were entered in the analysis, including 6 about gefitinib, 5 about erlotinib, 2 about icotinib, and 2 about afatinib, involving 2-318 patients in the trial group and 1-975 in the control group. Meta-analysis showed that the overall incidence of ILD in the trial group were higher than that in the control group [1.47% (34/2-318) vs. 0.51% (10/1-975), OR=2.44, P=0.004]; difference in incidences of ILD-related death between the 2 groups was not significant [0.35% (8/2-318) vs. 0.05% (1/1-975), OR=3.29, P=0.07]. The severity of ILD was graded in 14 RCT, and the meta-analysis showed that the incidence of more than grade 3 ILD in the trial group was higher than that in the control group [0.62%(13/2-089) vs. 0.11% (2/1-864), OR=2.60, P=0.04]. The overall incidences of ILD and the incidences of more than grade 3 ILD in the gefitinib group were higher than those in the corresponding control groups [2.31%(27/1-167) vs. 0.71% (8/1-123), OR=2.88, P=0.004; 0.86% (7/1-167) vs. 0.09% (1/1-123), OR=3.98, P=0.03]. There was no significant difference in ILD occurrence between the trial group and the control group for afatinib and erlotinib (all P>0.05). No ILD occurred in the trail group or in the control group in RCT about icotinib. Conclusions Compared with chemotherapy, NSCLC patients receiving EGFR-TKI, especially gefitinib, have higher risks of ILD and serious ILD. Therefore, clinical vigilance and monitoring should be strengthened.

    Medication rationality index (MAI) scale sets up 10 items to evaluate the rationality of prescription medication, including indication, effectiveness, dosage, correct direction, practical direction, drug-drug interaction, drug-disease interaction, duplication, duration, and cost. MAI scale has good reliability, which can be used to evaluate the rationality of drug use and the non-essential drug use, the potential inappropriate medication in elderly patients, verify the reliability and effect of irrational drug use detection software, quantify clinical intervention measures, and predict adverse events and quality of life. Since MAI scale application involves subjective judgment, evaluators should be trained before use.

    In 2022, a total of 22-868 cases of medication error (ME) from 315-hospitals in 26 provincial administrative regions were collected in the National Monitoring Network for Clinical Safe Medication. The number of hospitals reporting ME increased by 14.55% compared with that in 2021 (275-hospitals), and the number of reported ME cases increased by 16.76% compared with that in 2021 (19-585 cases). In 22-868 cases of ME reports, 155 (0.68%) were classified as grade A, 18-981 (83.00%) as grade B, 3-076 (13.45%) as grade C, 422 (1.85%) as grade D, 75 (0.33%) as grade E, 156 (0.68%) as grade F, 1 (<0.01%) as grade G, and 2 (0.01%) as grade H; no MEs of grade I occurred. Among the 22-713 patients involved in MEs of grade B to I, 12-668 (55.77%) were male and 10-045 (44.23%) were female; their ages were from 1 day to 102 years; 2-453 (10.80%) were children (<18 years old), 11-374 (50.08%) were young and middle-aged adults (≥18 to <60 years old), and 8-886 (39.12%) were elderly (≥60 years old). A total of 234 patients were involved in serious MEs (grade E-I), including 134 (57.27%) males and 100 (42.73%) females, aged from 4 days to 94 years, of which 37 (15.81%) were children, 83 (35.47%) were young and middle-aged adults, 114(48.72%) were elderly. The serious MEs (grade E-I) mainly occurred in the administration link [74.36% (174/234)]. The 155 grade A MEs did not involve person who triggered the ME and place where ME occurred. Among the 22-713 grade B-I MEs, 17-102 (75.30%) were triggered by physicians, 4-072 (17.93%) by pharmacists, 764 (3.36%) by nurses, 461 (2.03%) by patients and their family members, and 314 (1.38%) by other persons; the proportion of MEs triggered by physicians increased year by year for 4 consecutive years; the triggers of serious MEs were mainly patients and their family members [61.97% (145/234)]. Among these MEs, 9-238 (40.67%) occurred in clinics, 7-183 (31.63%) in hospital wards, 4-620 (20.34%) in pharmacies, 1-063 (4.68%) in pharmacy intravenous admixture services, 213 (0.94%) in the nurse stations, 321 (1.41%) in patients′ home, 6 (0.03%) in the community health service stations, and 69 (0.30%) in other places. Among the 234-severe MEs, 129 (55.13%) occurred in the patient′s home, and the proportions of MEs and serious MEs occurred in the home increased year by year for 4 consecutive years. The top 3 contents of ME were wrong drug class (4-285, 18.40%), wrong dosage (4-115, 17.67%), and wrong administration frequency (2-808, 12.06%). The top 3 persons who discovered the ME were pharmacists (17-575, 74.74%), patients and their family members (2-654, 11.29%), and physicians (1-752, 7.45%). The top 3 factors causing ME were lack of related pharmacologic knowledge (8-665, 31.94%), tiredness (4-249, 15.66%), and insufficient training of medical workers (3-502, 12.91%).

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of dabigatran etexilate-related serious adverse events(AE). Methods Databases of CNKI, WanFang, PubMed, and Embase were searched as of October 31, 2020 and case reports on serious AE related to dabigatran etexilate were collected. Relevant information in patients (nationality, gender, age, weight, application of dabigatran etexilate, co-existing diseases and combined drugs, the occurrence, treatment and outcome of AE, etc.) was extracted and analyzed descriptively. Results A total of 77 literature were included, involving 101 patients from 20 countries. There were 64 males (63.4%) and 37 females (36.6%), aged 56-94 years with the body weight of 38-193-kg. In terms of the reasons for medication, 87 were for prevention of stroke caused by atrial fibrillation, 12 were for the treatment of venous thromboembolism or for prevention of the possible venous thromboem- bolism, and the other 2 were not described. Co-existing diseases or past medical history were described in 88 patients, including hypertension, renal insufficiency, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, etc. Combined medication was described in 67 patients, of which drugs that might increase the risk of bleeding (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, clopidogrel, P-glycoprotein inhibitors, etc.) were used in 35 patients. Other combined drugs were antihypertensive drugs and hypoglycemic drugs, etc. Serious AE occurred from 2 minutes to 5 years after medication and 33 cases occurred within 1 month after the start of medication. Serious AE associated with dabigatran etexilate were bleeding in 81 patients (including gastrointestinal bleeding, intracerebral hemorrhage, coagulation disorder, etc.), kidney injury/renal failure in 8 patients, esophageal ulcer in 4 patients, liver injury in 2 patients, and thrombocytopenia, leukocyte fragmentation vasculitis, and severe cough with dyspnea in 1 patient respectively. The main measure taken after AE occurence was drug withdrawal. Those who were not improved after drug withdrawal were given symptomatic treatment, and hemodialysis were performed on those who fail to respond to the treatment. A total of 29 patients died and all of them had bleeding events. Among the 101 patients, 43-had medication errors, of which 33-had overdose, 6 had contraindications, and 4 had wrong administration methods. Conclusions Serious AE related to dabigatran etexilate manifest mostly as bleeding in clinic and can occur from 2-minutes to 5 years after medication, which can lead to death in severe cases. Medication error is one of the important causes of serious AE related to dabigatran etexilate, so the label should be strictly followed when prescribing the drug and medi- cation guidance should be given to patients.

    Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) is a common adverse reaction of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) immunotherapy. Its mechanism is mainly related to the destruction of brain mural cells, increase of cytokine level, the inflammation mediated by natural killer cells, and the activation of endothelial cells. The main clinical manifestations of ICANS are aphasia, tremor, dysgraphia, drowsiness, and epilepsy. In severe cases, asphyxia, coma, or brain edema may occur, and sometimes it is even life-threatening. The factors affecting ICANS include age, peak value of CAR-T amplification, product type, and disease type, etc. American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation recommends symptomatic and supportive treatments for mild ICANS and hormonal shock therapy for severe cases.

    A 67-year-old male patient received immunotherapy with intravenous infusion of sintili- mab 200-mg once every 3 weeks due to postoperative recurrence of liver cancer, and the efficacy and tolerance was good. After 12 doses of sintilimab treatment, the patient developed a bright red skin rashes on the chest, abdomen, and extremities with itching. Oral loratadine and topical halometasone cream were given, and the rashes were improved slightly. The rashes did not spread in the next 2 doses of sintilimab treatment. But after the 3rd dose of continuing sintilimab, the patient suddenly developed a large-area rashes all over the body, which rapidly developed into blisters, ulcers, accompanied by oozing blood and fluid on the skin, itching, and pain. Drug eruptions were diagnosed, which was considered to be induced by sintilimab. The drug was stopped. After 1 week of treatments with intravenous infusion of methylprednisolone 60-mg once daily, anti-allergy, anti-infection, mucosal protection, and skin care, the rashes were repeated. Then the dose of methylprednisolone was increased, the rashes were still not relieved 1 week later, and gastrointesting bleeding occurred. After liver cancer surgery, the patient was accompanied by hypoproteinemia, liver dysfunction, and long-term high-dose glucocorticoid use. Therefore, despite active treatment measures, the patient still died of ineffective rescue.

    Objective To explore the adverse event (AE) risk signals of romiplostim, and provide reference for the safe use of the drug in clinic. Methods The adverse event reports on romiplostim included in the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System from the first quarter of 2008 to the second quarter of 2022 were collected. AEs were standardized using preferred term (PT) in the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities. The general situation of patients and the outcome of AEs were extracted from the AE reports and analyzed descriptively and statistically. The AE risk signals of romiplostim was explored using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method and the proportional reporting odds ratio (PRR) method. The positive signal PT was set as that the number of AE reports was 3 and more and the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the ROR and PRR were greater than 1. Results A total of 12-222 AE reports with romiplostim as the primary suspected drug were collected. Among the 12-222 patients involved, 10-295-had gender records, including 4-818 males and 5-477 females; 3-789 patients with age records, ranging from 0 to 98 years, with an average age of 58 years; 5-919 patients with AE outcome records, the patient number of hospitalizations, death, life-threatening, disabling, and congenital malformation due to AEs were 3-092, 2-305, 363, 152, and 7, respectively. Twelve thousand two hundred and twenty-two AE reports involved 2-090 PTs,which occurred 20-639 times. Signal mining was performed on the top 100 PTs in the number of reports and 42 positive signals were detected. The top 5 PTs in the number of AE reports were decreased platelet count (PLT) (1-510 patients), lack of efficacy (1-488 patients), decreased efficacy (921 patients), abnormal PLT (857 patients), and death (853 patients). The PTs with signal intensity ranking in the top 5 were bone marrow reticulin fibrosis (ROR=631.43, PRR=341.43), abnormal bone marrow biopsy (ROR=202.73, PRR=159.36), abnormal platelet count (ROR=200.90, PRR=159.49), splenectomy (ROR=118.82, PRR=102.55) and thrombocytosis (ROR=84.66, PRR=76.14). There were 10 PTs not recorded in the drug instruction, whose signal intensity from high to low in the order were splenectomy, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, hemolysis, hospitalization, pleural effusion, sepsis, bone pain, off-label drug use, hemoglobin reduction, and migraine. Conclusions Bone marrow reticulin fibrosis and abnormal platelet count, as well as the resulting bleeding and thrombotic complications, are the AEs that need to be monitored during the use of romiplostim. Among the 10 PTs not recorded in the drug instruction, pleural effusion and sepsis need to be noticed.

    Objective To explore the effects of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) on blood lipid. Methods The relevant databases (up to August 31, 2021) were searched. The data of dyslipidemia in treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection with TAF (trial group) and TDF (control group) in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were collected. Methodological quality was evaluated by bias risk assessment tool of Cochrane collaborative network, and the meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3-software. The effect value was the risk ratio (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). Results A total of 11 RCTs were enrolled in the analysis, including 4 on the treatment of hepatitis B (HBV subgroup) and 7 on the treatment of AIDS (HIV subgroup), and the methodological quality evaluation results showed low risk of bias for all. Eleven thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight patients were involved in the 11 RCTs, of which 6-273 were in the trial group and 5-615 in the control group. The results of meta-analysis showed that the incidences of increased low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), and triglyceride (TG) with the severity of ≥3 grade were higher in the trial group than those in the control group and the differences of incidences in LDL-C and TC increase were significant between the 2 groups [LDL-C: 2.9% (157/5-347) vs. 0.8% (37/4-727), RR=3.39, 95%CI: 2.35-4.89, P=0.001; TC: 0.7% (36/4-880) vs. 0.1% (6/4-397), RR=4.25, 95%CI: 1.91-9.45, P<0.001; TG: 0.5%(16/3-157) vs. 0.3%(8/3-102),RR=1.83,95%CI:0.81-4.15, P=0.140]. The changes of blood lipid after treatment were compared and the results showed that the increase of LDL-C was higher in the trial group (14.00-mg/dl) than that in the control group (4.00-mg/dl), and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.004). Conclusion TAF can significantly increase the levels of LDL-C and TC in patients.

    Iodinated contrast encephalopathy is a rare complication after angiography or interventional therapy with iodinated contrast medium (ICM), with an incidence of 0.13%-2.92%. Iodinated contrast encephalopathy usually occurs minutes to hours after the use of ICM. Its clinical manifestations are diverse, and transient cortical blindness is the most common. Most patients have a good prognosis and generally recover completely within 48-72-hours, while a few may have irreversible neurological damage. The pathogenesis of iodinated contrast encephalopathy is not clear, which may be related to high-dose exposure of ICM due to the damage of blood-brain barrier and the direct cytotoxicity of ICM. Previous history of chronic kidney disease and stroke are risk factors for iodinated contrast encephalopathy, and types of ICM and body parts of angiography or intervention may have different influence on it. After angiography or interventional treatment using ICM, whether patients have symptoms such as mental disorder, visual field defect, and epilepsy should be observed. Once suspicious symptoms appear, CT or magnetic resonance imaging should be completed in time to avoid delaying treatment.

    Objective To explore the risk signals of edoxaban-related adverse reactions and provide reference for the clinical safety of edoxaban. Method The US FDA adverse Event Reporting System database was searched and the adverse event (AE) reports on edoxaban as the suspicious drug from the second quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2022 were collected. An AE with reports>3, 95% confidence interval (CI) lower limit of ROR>1, PRR>2, and χ2>4 was defined as a positive signal. AEs were counted and classified using the preferred term (PT) and system organ class of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 25.0. The PTs of top 50 in AE report amount and signal intensity were selected and analyzed. Results A total of 4-113 AE reports on edoxaban as the suspicious drug were collected and 996 PTs were involved. After calculation using ROR and PRR methods, 158 positive risk signals were obtained, involving 1-898 AE reports. PTs of the top 50 in AE report amount and signal intensity were merged 89 PTs were selected after screening out duplicates, involving 1-468 AE reports. The top 5 PTs in report amount were dyspnea, anemia, atrial fibrillation, melena, and cardiac failure; the top 5 PTs in signal intensity were angiodysplasia, urogenital haemorrhage, cardiac amyloidosis, chorea, and ischaemic cerebral infarction/cardioac- tive drug level increased. Fourty-five PTs were not included in the drug labels. Of them, acute renal injury, renal impairment, and interstitial lung disease were with more AE reports and stronger signals. Conclusions Bleeding-related events are still the key AEs that need to be monitored during the use of edoxaban. Edoxaban may also lead to renal injury and interstitial lung disease, which requires special attention.

    Metoprolol and propafenone are commonly used drugs in cardiovascular diseases. Both drugs are metabolized by liver cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6. However, propafenone is not only a CYP2D6 substrate, but also a CYP2D6 inhibitor, which may interact with metoprolol and cause adverse reactions. This interaction also depends on CYP2D6 genotype. For patients with CYP2D6 phenotypes of poor metabolizer (PM) and intermediate metabolizer (IM), the combination with propafenone can increase plasma concentration of metoprolol due to the inhibition of propafenone on CYP2D6. Therefore, the combination of metoprolol and propafenone should be avoided as far as possible. For the patients who need the combined treatment with the 2 drugs, attention should be paid to the monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and electrocardiogram changes during medication. If possible, CYP2D6 genotype should be detected and the drug dose should be adjusted according to the test results.

    Barcode technology is a kind of automatic recognition technology which is produced and developed in computer application and practice. Barcode technology has been widely used in drug purchase, management, dispensing, use and other aspects, and plays an important role in reducing human errors, improving work efficiency, and reducing medication errors in drug information check, information matching of drug and patient, and other important links. However, barcode technology can also lead to medication errors due to human operation, technical level, and other factors during application. In order to strengthen the prevention of medication errors related to the application of drug barcode technology in medical institutions, experts in pharmaceutical, nursing, informational, and management, who were organized by Medication Safety Panel in China Core Group of International Network for the Rational Use of Drugs, Chinese Pharmacological Society Professional Committee of Drug-induced Diseases, and Adverse Drug Reactions Journal Agency, formulate the guideline for prevention of medication errors in application of barcode technology in medical institutions after several argumentation based on the Expert Consensus on Medication Error Management in China. The medication errors related to drug barcode technology may occurred in links of drug storage and delivery, drug dispensing and distribution, intravenous drug admixture, inpatient drug administration, and etc. The risk factors include systematic factors (damaged barcode quality, poor barcode printing quality, scanning and printing equipment problems, packaging problems, system defects, and sharing difficulties of internal barcode information) and human factors (barcode information maintenance error, not timely information update, wrong pasted barcode, too little internal barcode information, operation error, and improper implementation). The prevention strategies for medication errors related to drug barcode application include technical strategies (including enforcement and constraint policies, automation and information, establishment of good checking system) and management strategies (including regulatory framework, environment and personnel). The guideline is formulated for all medical staff involved in the application and management of drug barcode technology in medical institutions.

The quality of RCTs and cohort studies was evaluated using the modified Jadad scale and Newcastle- Ottawa scale, respectively. Data on effective rate and incidence of adverse event in children treated with crisaborole were extracted. The meta-analysis of single proportions was performed with Stata 15-software. Results A total of 8 studies (4 RCTs and 4 prospective cohort studies, respectively) were entered in the analysis, including 1-855 children (aged from 3 months to 17 years) treated with crisaborole. The 8 studies were all of high quality. The meta-analysis of single proportions showed that the effective rate of children with AD treated with crisaborole for 14-28 days was 46% [95% confidence interval (CI): 32%-61%], the incidence of adverse events during treatment was 28% (95%CI: 19%-38%), and the incidence of treatment discontinuation due to adverse events was 1% (95%CI: 0-2%). Most of the adverse events caused by crisaborole were local skin reactions, mainly characterized by local pain, itching, dermatitis, paresthesia, and local infection, etc. Seven of the 8 studies reported the pain at the application site, and the incidence of pain at the application site was 17% (95%CI: 11%-24%). Most adverse events were mild to moderate and could be alleviated without treatment. Serious adverse events occurred in 8 patients (0.4%), 7 of which were unrelated to the treatment drugs. Conclusion Crisaborole has good efficacy and safety in the treatment of mild to moderate AD in children.

    A 77-year-old female patient was given combined chemotherapy with paclitaxel for injection (albumin bound) and nedaplatin for ovarian malignant tumor with peritoneal metastasis. When paclitaxel for injection (albumin bound) 100-mg dissolved in 0.9% sodium chloride injection 250-ml was given intravenously for the first time, the infusion was not smooth and the drip rate was slow. After stopping infusion, the infusion device was checked and white flocculent sediment above the filter was found. Clinical pharmacists ruled out the possibility of precipitation caused by drug preparation and incompatibility contraindications, and found that the infusion device used by this patient was a precision one (the pore diameter of microporous filter was 5-μm). However, in the drug label of paclitaxel for injection (albumin bound), it was pointed out that "Use of filters with a pore size less than 15-μm may result in blockage of the filter and should not be used." On the second day, a general infusion device (filter with 20-μm pore size) was used for IV infusion of paclitaxel for injection (albumin bound) and the process was smooth and no blockage recurred.

    Benifits outweigh the risks for patients with autoimmune disease (AID) in remission period to be vaccinated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. The mRNA vaccines, inactivated vaccines, and recombinant protein subunit vaccines are safe for AID patients, whereas the safety of recombinant adenovirus vector-based vaccines is still uncertain. Some drugs for the treatment of AID may reduce the immune response of the body to the COVID-19 vaccines and affect the immune efficacy of the vaccine, which may be related to the timing of vaccination. Based on several published relevant guidelines and recommendations for the COVID-19 vaccines in AID patients, this article elaborates on vaccination problems to be paid attention to in patients with AID treated with different drugs.

    Reactive metabolites is one of the main causes of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). After entering the body, some drugs can be metabolized by liver to generate drug reactive metabolites, which can deplete glutathione, and in turn bind to macromolecules such as proteins or nucleic acids in the body, alter biomacromolecule function, induce cellular oxidative stress and the body′s immune response, interfere with the body′s normal physiological function, and produce hepatotoxicity. Reactive metabolites mediated DILI may be not the action of one mechanism, but the combined effects of multiple mechanisms. This article reviews the production process of drug reactive metabolites, the mechanism of liver injury, and the means of prevention and treatment, providing an important reference for clinical safe drug use.

    Intravitreal injection (IVI) is an administration technique that uses a syringe to deliver drugs into the vitreous cavity. Currently, multiple IVI drugs have been successively approved for the treatment of various fundus diseases, including antivascular endothelial growth factor drugs, intravitreal sustained- release glucocorticoid drugs, and so on. Meanwhile, there are many injection drugs off label used by IVI. At present, there is a lack of pharmaceutical care guidance documents for the clinical application of IVI drugs. To promote the development of pharmaceutical care for IVI drugs, Ophthalmic Pharmacy Professional Committee of Peking Safety Medicine Foundation, Medicine Therapy Management Working Committee of Chinese Pharmacists Association, and Clinical Pharmacy Branch of China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care organized experts to formulate this consensus based on clinical practice experience and with reference to relevant domestic and foreign research data, guidelines, and literature. This consensus combs the characteristics of clinical application of IVI drugs, relevant pharmaceutical services before, during and after injection, and forms 26 recommendations for 5 clinical issues, which can be used by medical institutions at all levels to carry out pharmaceutical services of IVI drugs. The users are medical staff in medical institutions at all levels (including pharmacists, physicians, nurses, and other relevant staff), and the target population for application is mainly patients using IVI drugs.

    Signal detection of adverse drug reaction (ADR) is an important research method in post marketing pharmacovigilance. In recent years, the number of literature on ADR signal detection in China has increased significantly. However, there are still many problems in this kind of research, such as unclear understanding of the concept of ADR signal, unclear purpose of signal detection research, limited signal source, inadequate processing of data in detection, unduly single data mining algorithm, unduly short time period in data selection, and no processing and analysis on bias in signal detection. This paper provides some views on these common problems in order to improve the quality of ADR signal detection research in China.

    A 69-year-old man was treated with adalimumab 80-mg subcutaneously for psoriasis for the first time. Two days later, the patient developed diffuse erythema with pruritus. Because the active stage of psoriasis was not excluded, adalimumab 40-mg subcutaneous injection was continued once a week for 4 times. The patient′s skin erythema and pruritus continued to worsen. After intravenous infusion of methylprednisolone sodium succinate 40-mg/d for 1 week, the systemic erythema and pruritus were slightly relieved, but the condition was repeated after stopping the drug. Urine routine and sediment analysis showed urinary occult blood (+++), 190 red blood cells/μl, urinary protein(+), and serum creatinine 80-μmol/L. Renal biopsy and skin histopathology suggested IgA nephropathy and psoriasiform dermatitis, respectively. After consultation with dermatologists, erythroderma caused by deterioration of psoriasis was considered. Excluding other factors, it is considered that IgA nephropathy and erythroderma were probably induced by adalimumab. Methotrexate 10-mg per week was given orally and halometasone ointment was used externally. The skin damage in the patient was gradually improved. Hematuria and proteinuria were self-relieved slowly.At one-year of follow-up, the patient′s renal function and urine routine remained normal, and nephropathy and rash did not recur.

    Objective: To discuss the characteristics and related factors of ciprofloxacin-induced anaphylactic shock, and provide reference for clinical safe drug use. Methods: The literature between January 1979 and December 2005 was retrieved from "Chinese Journal Full-text Database", "Chinese Science and Technology Journal Full-text Database", and "Wanfang Medicine Data China info", Eighty-one cases with ciprofloxacin-induced anaphylactic shock of 73 papers were collected and analyzed. Results: Of the 81 cases, 42(52.5%) were male, 38(47.5%) were female, and one case' sex was unknown; 62(76.5%) were intravenous infusion, and 19(23.5%) were oral administration; 78(96.3%) were recovered, 3(3.7%) were dead. The time to onsef of anaphylactic shock varied from 10 seconds after intravenous infusion of ciprofloxacin to 60 minutes in fifth day after successive treatment of intravenous infusion of ciprofloxacin. Of the cases, 24 had allergic history, 25 had no allergic history. The investigation showed that ciprofloxacin-induced anaphylactic shock was not rare, and it was occurred in almost all areas of the whole country from 1975 to 2005. Conclusion: Careful attention should be paid to the serious reaction of ciprofloxacin-induced anaphylactic shock in clinical practice to ensure safemedication use.

    Objective To understand the occurrence and the clinical characteristics of meropenem- related central nervous system (CNS) adverse reactions. Methods Using the hospital information system, the electronic medical records of patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Respiratory, the 305 Hospital of the People′s Liberation Army from January 2016 to December 2021 and received meropenem were collected. Medical records of patients who developed CNS symptoms after meropenem administration were screened and analyzed retrospectively. The data extracted from the medical records mainly included gender, age, infectious diseases, underlying diseases, renal function at admission [serum creatinine, endogenous creatinine clearance (Ccr)] in the patient, the application of meropenem (dose, whether dose was adjusted according to Ccr), and the occurrence (occurrence time, main clinical manifestations, etc.), treatment, and outcome of meropenem-related CNS adverse reaction. The incidence of meropenem-related CNS adverse reactions was calculated, and their clinical characteristics was descriptively analyzed. Results A total of 636 patients used meropenem during the set period and 17 of them developed meropenem-related CNS adverse reactions, with an incidence of 2.7%. Among 17 patients, 10 were male and 7 were female, aged from 74 to 94 years with a median age of 86 years. Thirteen patients had pulmonary infection (one with urinary system infection) and 4 had acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (2 with type Ⅱ respiratory failure); 14 patients had combined renal insufficiency (10 of them had a Ccr <50-ml/min) and 5 had sequelae of cerebral infarction. Ten patients were with Ccr <50-ml/min and 3 of them did not adjust the dose of meropenem according to Ccr, resulting in excessive dosage. The time to onset of CNS symptoms in 17 patients ranged from 1 to 7 days after starting meropenem, with a median time of 3 days. Twelve patients presented mainly with psychiatric disorders (including delirium, agitation, hyperarousal, hallucinations, confusion and sleep reversal, etc.), and 5 with limb or orolingual convulsions. Meropenem was discontinued in all 17 patients after the onset of CNS symptoms and 5 of them were given symptomatic treatments. Symptoms were relieved after 1-7 days in all the patients, with a median time of 3 days. Conclusions Meropenem- related CNS adverse reactions are more common in elderly patients and patients with renal insufficiency, respiratory failure, and a history of CNS diseases. The main manifestations are mental disorders and convulsions, which mostly occur within one week of drug use. Stopping meropenem in time and receiving appropriate symptomatic treatments contribute a good prognosis in patients.

    Objective To analyze the influencing factors on the occurrence of acute kidney injury(AKI) in hospitalized patients treated with esomeprazole and to construct a risk prediction model to predictthe occurrence of esomeprazole‑associated AKI. Methods The study was designed as a retrospectivestudy. The subjects were selected from patients who were hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of·405·药物不良反应杂志 2024 年7月第 26 卷第7期 ADRJ,July 2024, Vol. 26, No. 7Shandong First Medical University from January 2018 to December 2020 and received treatment withesomeprazole. The clinical data of patients, including basic information, operations, intervention measures,medication, and laboratory test results, was collected through the hospital′s electronic medical recordsystem. Patients were divided into AKI and non‑AKI groups according to the occurrence of esomeprazole‑associated AKI, and the clinical characteristics between the 2 groups were compared. The least absoluteshrinkage and selection operator (LASSO regression) was used to analyze the influencing factors ofesomeprazole‑associated AKI. Patients were randomly divided into the training set and the test set at a 8∶2ratio. Based on data in the training set, 5 machine learning algorithms were used to build esomeprazole‑asso‑ciated AKI prediction models, including logistic regression, random forest, gradient boosting machine(GBM), extreme gradient boosting, and light gradient boosting machine. Based on data in the test set, the per‑formance of 5 models was validated through the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC),sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Results A total of 5 436 patients were enrolled in the study, including 3 231 males and 2 205 females, with an age of 61(51, 70) years. Esomeprazole‑associated AKI occurredin 393 patients, with an incidence of 7.23%. The results of LASSO regression analysis identified 24 variablesclosely related to esomeprazole‑associated, such as hepatic insufficiency, chronic renal insufficiency, hypo‑proteinemia. Based on data in the training set (4 349 patients), the esomeprazole‑associated AKI risk predic‑tion models were constructed and their predictive performance was good (all AUC>0.900). The predictiveperformance validation was conducted using the data in the test set (1 087 patients), and the results showedthat the GBM model has the highest AUC (0.922) and relatively stable performance, with small differences invarious indicators between the training and the test sets. Conclusions The use of esomeprazole is signifi‑cantly associated with AKI, and the risk is influenced by factors such as baseline renal function, comorbidi‑ties, and combined medications. The risk prediction model based on GBM algorithm is helpful for earlyassessment of the risk of esomeprazole‑related AKI in clinical practice.

    A 60-year-old male patient with lung cancer received IV infusions of toripalimab 200-mg, bevacizumab 500-mg, and pemetrexed 1 g (the treatment was given on day 1 and 21 days was a cycle) due to the progression of tumor after 26 months of first-line and second-line chemotherapy successively. His thyroid function was normal before treatment. After the second medication of toripalimab (on day 30 after the first medication), the patient developed symptoms such as increased heart rate, fear of heat, hyperhidrosis, and weight loss. The reexamination of thyroid function showed triiodothyronine (T3) 3.4-nmol/L, thyroxine (T4) 305.0-nmol/L, free triiodothyronine (FT3) 13.1-pmol/L, free thyroxine (FT4) 55.7-pmol/L, thyroid stimula- ting hormone (TSH) 0.02 mU/L, thyroglobulin (Tg) 32.7-μg/L, antithyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) 531.0 kU/L, antithyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) 318.0 kU/L, and thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibody (TRAb) 1.00-U/L. Hyperthyroidism was considered, anti-tumor treatment was suspended, and symptoms were improved after metoprolol treatment. Ninety-seven days after the first toripalimab treatment, the patient developed symptoms such as chills, dizziness, fatigue, eyelid edema, weight gain, etc. The laboratory tests showed  T3-0.3-nmol/L, T4-20-nmol/L, FT3-1.0-pmol/L, FT4-1.8-pmol/L, TSH>100.00 mU/L, and carcinoembryonic antigen 251-μg/L. Hypothyroidism was considered, but the tumor progressed, so the treatment of toripalimab was restarted and thyroxine was supplemented at the same time. The patient′s thyroid function was gradually improved and then remained normal. More than 13 months after the first medication of toripalimab, the laboratory tests showed T3-1.3-nmol/L, T4-137.0-nmol/L, FT3-3.8-pmol/L, FT4-21.1-pmol/L, TSH 6.03 mU/L, Tg 3.9-μg/L, TgAb 432.0 kU/L, and TPOAb 222.0 kU/L.

    Objective To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and economy of meropenem in the treatment of infectious diseases by means of rapid health technology assessment. Methods The relevant databases (up to October 6, 2021) were searched to collect the meta-analyses and economic studies on the comparison of efficacy, safety, and economy in the treatment of infectious diseases with meropenem and other antibiotics. The quality of meta-analysis and economic research were evaluated by the Quality Assessment Scale for Systematic Review and Health Economics Evaluation Reporting Standard, respectively. The outcome indicators of meta-analysis were efficacy (clinical cure rate, bacterial clearance rate) and incidence of adverse drug reaction (ADR), the effect indicators were relative risk (RR), odds ratio (OR), or risk difference (RD), and the 95% confidence interval (CI). The economic research indicators were incremental cost- effectiveness ratio and minimum cost. Qualitative description of the results enrolled in this study was conducted. Results A total of 6 meta-analyses and 5 economic studies were enrolled in this study, all of which were of high quality. Efficacy: the clinical cure rate of meropenem in the treatment of febrile neutropenia were higher than those of β-lactam antibiotics alone and β-lactam antibiotics combined with aminoglycoside antibiotics, the differences were statistically significant [55.6% (956/1-720) vs. 49.3% (888/1-798), OR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.18-1.56, P<0.01; 58.3% (429/735) vs. 54.1% (415/767), OR=1.24, 95%CI: 1.01-1.53, P=0.04]. The clinical cure rate of meropenem in the treatment of abdominal infection was higher than those of ceftazidime- avibactam combined with metronidazole, ceftolozane-tazobactam combined with metronidazole, and imipenem, and the differences were all statistically significant [86.6% (581/671) vs. 82.6% (571/691), RD=-0.04, 95%CI: -0.08-0, P=0.03; 87.8% (388/442) vs. 83.1% (374/450), RD=-0.05, 95%CI: -0.10-0, P=0.04; 90.8% (1-791/1-972) vs. 87.6% (1-884/2-151), OR=1.52, 95%CI: 1. 23-1. 86, P<0.05]. The bacterial clearance rate of meropenem in the treatment of abdominal infection was higher than those of ceftazidime-avibactam combined with metronidazole, and imipenem, and the differences were all statistically significant [89.8% (491/547) vs. 85.5% (430/503), RD=-0.04, 95%CI: -0.08-0, P=0.04; 87.0% (1-109/1-274) vs. 82.3% (1-054/1-278), OR=1.45, 95%CI: 1.15-1.80, P<0.05]. The differences of bacterial clearance rate in treatment of abdominal infection among meropenem, ceftolozane-tazobactam combined with metronidazole, and β-lactam antibiotics were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Safety: the differences of incidence of ADR in treatments of febrile neutropenia and pneumonia among meropenem, β-lactam antibiotics alone, β-lactam anti- biotics combined with aminoglycoside antibiotics, and non-carbapenem antibiotics were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Economy: ceftazidime-avibactam, ceftolozane-tazobactam, and imipenem had better cost- effectiveness advantages than meropenem in the treatment of abdominal infection, pneumonia, and febrile neutropenia. Conclusions Meropenem has good efficacy in the treatment of febrile neutropenia and abdominal infection. There is no significant difference in safety between meropenem and other anti-biotics, but meropenem has no economic advantage.

The comorbidities included hypertension in 13 patients, diabetes mellitus in 4 patients, cerebral infarction in 3 patients, and New York Heart Association (NYHA) greater than or equal to class Ⅲ heart failure in 3 patients. Tirofiban was administered by continuous intravenous pumping for 1-48-hours. The combined drugs included aspirin enteric-coated tablets, clopidogrel tablets, ticagrelor tablets, heparin, low molecular weight heparin, alteplase, and plasmin. Five patients had symptoms of chills and shivers within 1-6 hours after treatment, 7 had oral mucosal bleeding, epistaxis, gingival bleeding, skin ecchymosis, ecchymosis on venipuncture sites, tarry stool, or bloody stool within 1-7 days after treatment, and 10-had no clinical symptoms. The median time from tirofiban application to the onset of PLT decrease and to the minimum value of PLT [(1-18)×109/L] were 12 (6, 20) and 18 (12, 22) hours, respectively, and the 2 kinds of time above were consistent in 13 patients. Tirofiban was discontinued in all patients after the diagnosis of extremely severe TIT, and treatments with glucocorticoids, human immunoglobulin, and platelet infusion were given. PLT recovered to (100-258)×109/L after 3-17 days (median time 4 days) of treatments in 18 patients. The other 2 patients developed tarry stool and bloody stool 2 and 1 days after the diagnosis of TIT, respectively, followed by respiratory and cardiac arrest, and died. Conclusions Extremely severe TIT has low incidence but urgent onset, which can lead to fatal bleeding events, and some patients may have no clinical symptoms. The prognosis is generally good after tirofiban withdrawal and receiving glucocorticoids and symptomatic treatments. However, it should be alert to the adverse consequences caused by secondary bleeding events.

    Objective To evaluate the cardiovascular safety of febuxostat and allopurinol in patients with gout/hyperuricemia, and to explore the difference in cardiovascular safety between Asian and non-Asian patients. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies of comparision of cardiovascular safety between febuxostat (the trial group) and allopurinol (the control group) in the treatment of gout/hyperuricemia were collected by searching related databases at home and abroad (up to October, 2021). The outcome indicators were the incidences of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), stroke, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), coronary revascularization, death from cardiovascular causes, and all-cause death. The Cochrane collaboration risk of bias risk tool and Newcastle Ottawa Scale were used to evaluate the quality of the RCTs and the cohort studies, respectively. RevMan 5.4-software was used for meta-analysis, and the effect sizes were relative risk (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). Results A total of 9 RCTs and 7 cohort studies were enrolled in the analysis and 385-700 patients were involved, including 123-565 in the trial group and 262-135 in the control group. The results of quality evaluation showed that there were 4 and 5 RCTs with low and uncertain bias risk in 9 RCTs, respectively; among the 7 cohort studies, 2 and 5 were of high and medium quality, respectively. The result of meta-analysis of RCTs showed that the incidence of ADHF in the trial group was significantly lower than that in the control group [1.37% (77/5-620) vs. 2.21% (102/4-607), RR=0.74, 95%CI: 0.55-0.99, P=0.04]. The result of meta-analysis of cohort studies showed that the incidence of stroke in Asian patients in the trial group was lower than that in the control group [0.87% (519/59-559) vs. 0.90% (810/89-836), RR=0.94, 95%CI: 0.75-1.17, P=0.58]; the incidence of stroke in non-Asian patients in the trial group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant [1.49% (377/25-306) vs. 1.70% (1-305/76-864), RR=0.88, 95%CI: 0.78-0.98, P=0.02]; the incidence of cardiovascular death in Asian patients in the trial group was higher than that in the control group [0.96% (473/49-373) vs. 0.68% (335/49-368), RR=1.41, 95%CI: 1.23-1.62, P<0.01]. Conclusions The risk of ADHF caused by febuxostat is lower than that caused by allopurinol; the risk of stroke caused by febuxostat is lower than that caused by allopurinol in non-Asian patients; the risk of cardiovascular death caused by febuxostat is higher than that caused by allopurinol in Asian patients.

    Exposure to antineoplastics is a potential health threat. If improperly disposed, it will also cause environmental pollution, which is a medical safety issue worthy of attention. In order to improve the protection awareness of healthcare professionals exposed to antineoplastic drugs (medical personnels, drug transportation staffs, patients and their caregivers, etc.), standardize exposure protection operations, and reduce the risk and harm of occupational exposure, the Division of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Chinese Pharmacological Society, the Hospital Pharmacy Professional Committee of Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, the Oncology Society of Chinese Medical Association, the Nursing Branch of China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Healthcare, and Chinese Pharmacological Society Professional Committee of Drug-induced Diseases formulated the Management guidelines for preventing exposure to antineoplastics, which was published in the 1st issue of Chinese Journal of Cancer Research in 2023. The guideline was developed referring to the World Health Organization handbook for guideline develo- pment and other international methodologies and focused on the full-process management of antineoplastics in hospitals. Using the Delphi method, clinical questions and 14 recommendations were formulated. This paper interprets 14 recommendations, hoping to help promote the implementation of the guideline.

    In 2021, a total of 19-585 cases of medication error (ME) from 275-hospitals in 28 provincial administrative regions were collected in the National Monitoring Network for Clinical Safe Medication. The number of hospitals reporting ME increased by 7.84% compared with that in 2020 (255-hospitals), and the number of reported ME cases increased by 23.57% compared with that in 2020 (15-849 cases). In 19-585 cases of ME reports, 278 (1.42%) were classified as grade A, 16-221 (82.82%) as grade B, 2-442 (12.47%) as grade C, 410 (2.09%) as grade D, 95 (0.49%) as grade E, 133 (0.68%) as grade F, 1 (<0.01%) as grade G, 4 (0.02%) as grade H, and 1 (<0.01%) as grade I. Among the 19-307 patients with ME of grade B to I, 10-528 (54.53%) were male and 8-779 (45.47%) were female; they aged from 1 day to 102 years, of which 2-236 (11.58%) were children (<18 years old), 9-794 (50.73%) were young and middle-aged people (≥18 to <60 years old), and 7-277 (37.69%) were elderly people (≥60 years old). A total of 234 patients were involved in serious MEs (grade E-I), including 129 (55.13%) males and 105 (44.87%) females, aged from 3 months to 99 years, of which 45 (19.23%) were children, 88 (37.61%) were young and middle-aged people, 101 (43.16%) were elderly people. Among the 16 patients with severe MEs caused by mistaken use of drugs, 14 were children, which was a double of the number in 2020 (7 in 2020); only 3 cases were reported for mistaken use of drugs in children from 2012 to 2019. The 278 grade A MEs did not involve person who triggered the ME and place where ME occurred. Among the 19-307 grade B-I MEs, 13-932 (72.16%) were triggered by physicians, 3-961 (20.52%) by pharmacists, 541 (2.80%) by nurses, 412 (2.13%) by patients and their family members, and 461 (2.39%) by other persons; the proportion of MEs triggered by physicians and patients and their family members increased year by year for 4 consecutive years (60.89%, 65.46%, and 68.05% in 2018, 2019, and 2020 by physicians, and 1.06%, 2.04%, and 2.08% in 2018, 2019, and 2020 by patients and their family members, respectively); 8-662 MEs (44.87%) occurred in clinics, 5-256 (27.22%) in hospital wards, 3-856 (19.97%) in pharmacies, 977 (5.06%) in pharmacy intravenous admixture services, 289 (1.50%) in the nurse stations, 239 (1.24%) in patients′ houses, 6 (0.03%) in the community health service stations, and 22 (0.11%) in other places; the proportion of ME occurred in clinics and at home increased year by year for 4 consecutive years (37.32%, 37.74%, and 43.24% in 2018, 2019, and 2020 in clinics, and 0.41%, 0.89%, and 1.02% in 2018, 2019, and 2020 at home, respectively). The top 3 contents of ME were wrong dosage, wrong drug class, and wrong administration frequency. The top 3 persons who discovered the ME were pharmacists, patients and their family members, and physicians. The top 3 factors causing ME were lack of related pharmacologic knowledge, tiredness, and insufficient training of medical workers.

    Objective To explore the risk factors and the predicting value of early urinary tract infection in patients treated with tacrolimus (TAC)-containing immunosuppressive regimen after kidney transplantation. Methods The medical records of patients who underwent allogeneic kidney transplantation in the Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from January 1, 2015 to October 30, 2021 and received triple immunosuppressive regimen with TAC+mycophenolate mofetil+methylprednisolone were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Relevant clinical data of patients were extracted from the hospital information system. Patients were divided into infection group and non-infection group according to whether urinary tract infection occurred within 1 month after taking TAC and the clinical characteristics in patients between the 2 groups were compared. The risk factors of urinary tract infection were analyzed by binary logistic regression method, and the odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predicting value of risk factors on the risk of urinary tract infection. Results A total of 256 patients were entered in the analysis, including 208 males and 48 females, aged 34 (29, 42) years with an range from 18 to 66 years, and the body mass index of these patients was 22.9 (20.4, 25.4) kg/m2, ranging from 13.9 to 34.4-kg/m2. There were 163 living donors from relatives and 93 cardiac dead organ donors (DCD). Among the 256 patients, 56-had urinary tract infection (asymptomatic bacteriuria in 32 patients and symptomatic urinary tract infection in 24 patients) after kidney transplantation with an incidence of 21.9%. The differences in gender, age, body weight, body mass index, primary disease, comorbidity disease, donor source, length of hospital stay after surgery, time of indwelling urinary tube and ureteral stent, postoperative complications, complicated infection in other parts of the body after surgery, laboratory test results and so on in patients between the 2 groups were not significant (all P>0.05). The trough plasma concentrations of TAC on the 7th, 14th, and 21st days after taking TAC in the infection group was higher than those in the non-infection group [9.7 (8.4, 13.5) μg/L vs. 8.0 (6.3, 9.8) μg/L, P<0.001; 9.4 (7.6, 11.0) μg/L vs. 8.0 (6.3, 9.8) μg/L, P=0.002; 9.2 (7.6, 11.1) μg/L vs. 8.2 (6.3, 9.8) μg/L, P=0.002]. The binary logistic regression analysis showed that the high trough plasma concentrations of TAC on the 7th day after taking TAC (OR=1.815, 95%CI: 1.332-2.474, P<0.001) was an independent risk factor for urinary tract infection in the early stage after kidney transplantation. The ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the ROC curve of TAC trough plasma concentration on the 7th day was 0.704 (95%CI: 0.626-0.782), with the cutoff value 8.35-μg/L, the sensitivity 76.8%, and the specificity 53.5%. The patients were divided into >8.35-μg/L group and ≤8.35-μg/L group according to this cutoff value, the incidences of urinary tract infection in the 2 groups were 31.4% (43/137) and 20.6% (13/119) respectively and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=15.603, P<0.001). Conclusion High trough plasma concentration of TAC on the 7th day after taking TAC is an independent risk factor for urinary tract infection after kidney transplantation and the predicting value is 8.35-μg/L, which has certain predicting value for early urinary tract infection after kidney transplantation.

    An 87-year-old female patient with hypertension was given 3 Suhuang Zhike capsules (0.45 g/capsule) for cough. Half an hour after medication, the patient suddenly developed limbs tremor, accompanied by palpitation and sweating. The symptoms lasted for about 10-minutes and relieved spontaneously. Her blood pressure was 145/79-mmHg. Her nervous system examination showed no abnormality; blood glucose, electrolyte, thyroid function, and liver and kidney function were all normal; and electroencephalogram and cranial computed tomography showed no obvious abnormality. Ephedrine in Suhuang Zhike capsules was considered to be related to her symptoms. The drug was stopped and oral alprazolam 0.4-mg was given twice daily. The symptoms of limbs tremor did not recur in the patient.

    A 4 years and 7 months old boy was treated with IV infusions of azithromycin 0.16 g once daily and methylprednisolone sodium succinate 32-mg once daily and oral amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium for suspension 228.5-mg twice daily for bronchopneumonia complicated with multiple co-infections with mycoplasma, viruses, and bacteria. After 6 days of treatments, the boy′s symptoms were improved and his body temperature returned to normal. On the 7th day of treatments, the boy developed rash with itching, which subsided on the same day after symptomatic treatments. Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium and azithromycin were discontinued, but the child still developed rash every time after IV infusion of methylprednisolone sodium succinate, which could subside later that day. After withdrawal of methylprednisolone sodium succinate, the boy′s rash did not recur.

    A 56-year-old male patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma had progressed disease after receiving radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy, etc. Then he received chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy (capecitabine and sintilimab). Before receiving the 3rd immunotherapy, no abnormality was found in the relevant examination in the patient. On the 3rd day of treatment, he developed cough, shortness of breath, and other symptoms, and chest CT imaging indicated inflammatory lesion of both lungs. The results of sputum culture, sputum smear examination, G test, GM test, and autoantibody examination were all negative. Infectious pneumonia and interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features were excluded. The common respiratory adverse reaction to capecitabine was pharyngeal discomfort, and no large-scale pneumonia caused by capecitabine was reported. Therefore, it was considered to be immune- associated pneumonitis cause by sintilimab. Treatments such as intravenous injection of methylprednisolone, IV infusion of cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium and moxifloxacin were given and the patient′s condition was improved. After that, methylprednisolone dose was gradually reduced, and then changed to oral prednisone. On the 10th day of oral prednisone, the symptom of shortness of breath worsened. Chest CT imaging indicated that the pneumonitis was more severe than before. Intravenous methylprednisolone was re-given but the condition was not improved.

    The ocular adverse reactions of paclitaxels can involve the ocular surface, ocular appendages and intraocular tissue, with various clinical manifestations, such as dry eye, lacrimal duct obstruction, conjunctivitis, keratitis, macular edema, retinal injury, optic nerve injury, etc., which can lead to irreversible visual impairment. The mechanism of ocular adverse reactions is still unclear. In these adverse reactions, macular edema may be related to the dysfunction of retinal pigment epithelial cells and Müller cells caused by paclitaxel, and others may be related to the cytotoxicity of paclitaxels. Baseline eye examination should be performed prior to the use of paclitaxels, and new ocular symptoms should be closely monitored during the treatment. Ocular adverse reactions can be diagnosed definitively through routine ophthalmic examination. The main treatments are timely adjustment of drugs and symptomatic treatments.

    Objective To explore the adverse reactions to sintilimab in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Methods The clinical data of all NSCLC and HL patients who were treated with sintilimab during hospitalization in the Fifth Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from January 2019 to August 2020 were collected by searching Hospital Information System. The clinical data including patients′ basic information (gender, age, diagnosis), medication (initial treatment or retreatment with sintilimab, single and cumulative dose, combined medication), and occurrence of adverse reactions (involved organs or systems, clinical manifestations, occurrence time, intervention and outcome) were recorded and analyzed retrospectively. The correlation between sintilimab and adverse reactions and the grade of adverse reactions were evaluated according to Hand Book of Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting and Monitoring in China and the International Adverse Reaction Evaluation System of Cancer Chemotherapy Drugs. Results A total of 90 patients were enrolled in the analysis, including 75 NSCLC patients and 15 HL patients, aged from 16 to 81 years with the median age of 63 years; 81 patients were initially treated with sintilimab and 9 were retreated. Eighty-eight patients received sintilimab 200-mg per cycle and 2 patient received 100-mg per cycle. The cumulative dose was 200, >200-1-000, and >1-000-mg in 39, 35, and 16 cases, respectively; 32 patients were treated with sintilimab alone and 58 were treated with sintilimab combined with other regimens. Fifty-three (58.9%) patients had adverse reactions, among which, 41 (45.6%) and 12 cases (13.3%) had grade 1-2 and ≥ grade 3 adverse reactions, respectively. The occurrence time was 1-242 days after treatment. Among the 53 patients, 37 were male and 16 were female, aged 28-80 years; 48 were with NSCLC and 5 with HL. The incidence of adverse reactions in NSCLC patients was significantly higher than that in HL patients [64.0% (48/75) vs. 33.3% (5/15), χ2=4.856, P=0.028]. Forty- eight patients were initially treated and 5 were retreated. Fifty-two patients received sintilimab 200-mg per cycle and 1 patient received 100-mg per cycle. The cumulative dose was 200, >200-1 000, and >1000-mg in 16, 26, and 11 cases, respectively. The difference in the incidences of adverse reactions among patients with different cumulative doses was significant (χ2=9.21, P=0.01). Fourteen patients were treated with sintilimab alone and 39 patients were treated with sintilimab combined with other therapeutic regimens; the incidence of adverse reactions in patients with sintilimab combined with other therapeutic regimens was higher than that in patients with sintilimab monotherapy, and the difference was statistically significant [66.1% (39/58) vs. 43.8% (14/32), χ2=4.701, P=0.03]. A total of 101 times of adverse reactions to sintilimab occurred in 53 patients (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 kinds of adverse reactions occurred in 24, 16, 9, 2, and 2 patients, respectively), 52 times of them were recorded in the medical records, and 49 times were found by rechecking the results of laboratory and auxiliary tests; 1, 3, and 97 times of adverse reactions were evaluated as “certainly”,“probably”, and “possibly”, respectively. Eighty-nine times (88.1%) of adverse reactions were grade 1-2 and 12 times (11.9%) were equal to or greater than grade 3. Multiple systems or organs were involved in the adverse reactions including blood, hepatobiliary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, respiratory, skin and appendix, heart, skeletal muscle and connective tissue, urinary, and nervous systems, and those with the top 5 incidence rates were blood, hepatobiliary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and respiratory system adverse reactions[24.4% (22/90), 15.6% (14/90), 14.4% (13/90), 12.2% (11/90), and 11.1% (10/90)]. Twelve patients stopped sintilimab due to adverse reactions, 4 were only closely monitored without special treatment, and 49 received one day to seven months of symptomatic treatments. Among the 53 patients, 8 were cured, 29 were improved, 6 were not improved, 9 were unknown, and 1 died. Conclusions Sintilimab could lead to adverse reactions in multiple systems or organs in patients with NSCLC and HL, such as blood, hepatobiliary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, respiratory, and skin and appendages. The incidence and grade of adverse reactions were lower than those documented in the drug label, and no new adverse reactions were detected.

    A 78-year-old female patient with hypertension (196/93-mmHg) received a slow IV infusion of urapidil injection 100-mg diluted into 250-ml of 0.9% sodium chloride injection to reduce blood pressure. The infusion rate was controlled at 40 drops/min. If the blood pressure dropped to the target value, the drug would be stopped temporarily. The blood pressure dropped to 152/70-mmHg when urapidil injection was intravenously infused for 40-min (about 80-ml). Then the drug was stopped temporarily. The nurse on duty did not introduce the patient′s condition and the use of urapidil to the nurse who would take turn on duty. The successive nurse did not check the doctor′s order and mistakenly infused the remained urapidil  170-ml within 60-min (60 drops/min). Five minutes later, the patient developed dizziness, fatigue, and severe vomiting, and the blood pressure dropped to 136/66-mmHg. Rehydration treatment was given imme- diately. About 2 hours later, the patient′s blood pressure increased to 158/76-mmHg and the symptoms were relieved.

    Objective To compare the efficacy and safety between the generic sertraline tablets, which was selected in the national centralized volume-based procurement of drugs (trade name: Weitating), and the original sertraline tablets (trade name: Levofloxacin) in the treatment for depressive disorder, and to provide a basis for promoting the rational use of the generic drugs. Methods Real world study using retrospective mirror-image comparison was adopted. The outpatient data of patients who were prescribed sertraline tablets one year after the implementation of the national centralized volume-based  procurement policy in Beijing Anding Hospital, Capital Medical University were collected. The patients were divided into the generic drug group and the original drug group. After the propensity score matching, the daily dose of prescription, blood concentration of sertraline, and incidence of abnormal laboratory test items (prolactin, liver and kidney function, blood lipids, etc.) of patients in the 2 groups were analyzed. Results A total of 13-659 patients with depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder were enrolled in the study, including 5-973 (43.73%) patients in the generic drug group and 7-686 (56.27%) patients in the original drug group. Among the 5-973 patients in the generic drug group, 2-167 (36.28%) were male and 3-806 (63.72%) were female, aged (34±18) years, ranging from 6 to 94 years. Among the 7-686 (56.27%) patients in the original drug group, 2-709 (35.24%) were male and 4-977 (64.75%) were female, aged (35±19) years, ranging from 6 to 95 years. The difference between the daily dose of sertraline in prescription in the generic drug group and the original drug group was statistically significant [(161.00±46.58) mg vs. (166.34±43.67) mg, t=6.614, P<0.001]. The difference of blood concentration of sertraline in patients between the generic drug group and the original drug group was statistically significant [(50.41±39.49) μg/L vs. (53.80±39.62) μg/L, t=2.616, P=0.009]. The differences in incidence of prolactin elevation and liver and kidney dysfunction between the 2 groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The difference in the proportion of patients with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol lower than limit of the reference value between the generic drug group and the original drug group was statistically significant [41.75% (734/1-758) vs. 38.28% (673/1-758), χ2=4.409, P=0.039]. The difference in the proportion of patients with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol higher than the upper limit of the reference value between the 2 groups was statistically significant [41.75% (734/1-758) vs. 45.39% (798/1-758), χ2=4.738, P=0.032]. Conclusion In this study, no clinically significant differences in efficacy and safety of the generic and original sertraline tablets were found.

    A 50-year-old male patient grinded his self-purchased blister-beetle (Mylabris) body into powder and then made it into paste for large area external use on his body skin for psoriasis. A few minutes later, the patient developed erythema and blisters on the site of medication; a few hours later, the purplish-red patches and blisters spread throughout the body, epidermis relaxed and exfoliated, and symptoms of systemic poisoning appeared. One day later, the patient developed multiple organ failure, such as respiratory failure, liver injury, kidney injury, severe hypoproteinemia, and abnormal coagulation function. Epidermolysis bullosa induced by externally application of Mylabris was diagnosed, and treatments of high-doses of pulsetherapy methylprednisolone, intravenous infusions of human immunoglobulin and human albumin, bedside hemofiltration, ventilator-assisted ventilation, and etc. were given. However, the patient′s condition deteriorated rapidly and finally he died of multiple organ failure 12-hours later.

    Objective: To investigate and analyse the situation of digoxin used in our hospital and the factors affecting on serum-digoxin concentration. Methods: Eight hundred and sixty-one data of serum-digoxin concentration were collected in our hospital in 2005. The relationship between serum-digoxin concentration and the factors including age ,sex, serum-creatine concentra-tion was analysed by multivariate regression analysis. Results: The serum-digoxin concentration was affected by the four factors of age, sex, serum- creatine concentration, and the dose (P≤0.05). The relationship between them were con= -0.474+0.750×dose+0.154×Scr+0.128×sex+0.003×age by multivariate regression analysis. Conclusion: Serum-digoxin concentration varies with individuals and is affected by many factors. As regards most patients, the dose of digoxin should not be over 0.125 mg daily. If the serum-creatine concentration exceed the normal range, it is likely to be renal dysfunction to the patient. In such a case, the dose of digoxin should be reduced. As regards women, the dose of digoxin should be carefully adjusted to avoid digoxin toxicity.

    A 3-day and 16-hour old male newborn was treated with IV infusion of meropenem 0.136 g once per 12-h combined with vancomycin 0.05 g once per 12-hours for severe infection. The platelet (PLT) was 116×109/L before treatment and reduced to 7×109/L after 11-h of treatment. Apheresis platelet by intravenous infusion was added, and PLT was 32×109/L 3 days later.Clinical pharmacists remind doctors to pay attention to adverse reactions of vancomycin when participating in ward rounds, and monitor the blood concentration of vancomycin in time. The physicians considered that the thrombocytopenia might be related to severe infection, and methylprednisolone, human immunoglobulin, cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factors, apheresis platelet products and etc. were added. The PLT increased to a transient level of 121×109/L and then continued to decrease. After 8 days of treatment, the platelet PLT decreased to 30×109/L and the trough concentration of vancomycin was 27.0-mg/L. Thrombocytopenia caused by vancomycin was considered.The pharmacist recommended temporary discontinuation of vancomycin. Vancomycin was stopped, PLT was 174×109/L 5 days later.

    A 52-year-old male patient with primary bronchogenic carcinoma received an IV infusion of sintilimab 200-mg on the first day, oral anlotinib capsules 12-mg once daily on day 1-14, and 3 weeks were a cycle. At the 3rd cycle of treatments, the laboratory tests showed thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) 0.08 mU/L, and no intervention was given. At the 5th cycle, his free thyroxine (FT4) was 11.45-pmol/L and TSH was 8.19 mU/L, indicating hypothyroidism. The patient received levothyroxine sodium tablets 50-μg orally once daily. Fifty-six days later, his thyroid function returned to normal. On the 3rd day of the 8th cycle of treatments, the patient developed dry mouth, polydipsia, polyuria, nausea, and vomiting, and laboratory tests showed blood pH 7.02, β-hydroxybutyric acid 6.740-mmol/L, and random blood glucose 66.0-mmol/L, indicating diabetes ketoacidosis. Sintilimab and anlotinib were stopped and fluid replacement and insulin hypoglycemic therapy were given. Eleven days later, his ketone body turned negative, and the fasting blood glucose was 5.8-mmol/L. About 2 weeks later, the laboratory tests showed that hemoglobin A1c was 7.8%, the serum C-peptide levels on an empty stomach and 2 hours after breakfast both were less than 0.01-nmol/L, and the islet cell antibody, insulin autoantibody, glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody, and protein tyrosine phosphatase autoantibody were negative, which was consistent with the characteristics of fulminant type 1 diabetes (T1DM). On the morning of the 32nd day of sintilimab and anlotinib withdrawal, laboratory tests showed cortisol 50.7-nmol/L and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) 2.73-pmol/L, indicating hypoadreno- corticism. Treatment with glucocorticoid was given. It was considered that the patient was with  autoimmune polyendocrinopthy syndrome (APS) type II (hypothyroidism,fulminant T1DM,hypoadrenocorticism) caused by sintilimab. After 9 months of glucocorticoid treatment, cortisol was 16.6, 79.4, and 17.2-nmol/L at 8:00,16:00, and 24:00, respectively, and ACTH was 1.12-pmol/L. The patient still needed maintenance treatment with alternative hormone.

    To explore the risk signals of letrozole related adverse reactions and provide reference for the clinical safety of letrozole. Methods The risk signals related to letrozole in the adverse events (AEs) reports from the first quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2019 in the US FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS) were mined using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method and the proportional reporting odds ratio (PRR) method. An AE with reports>3 and 95% confidence interval (CI) lower limit of ROR and PRR>1 was defined as a positive signal. AEs were counted and classified using the preferred system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). The PTs of top 50 adverse event reports and signal strength were selected and analyzed. Results From the first quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2019, a total of 31 743 AE reports with letrozole as the primary suspicious drug were reported in the FAERS database. Four hundred and eighty‑three AE risk signals with reports>3 and the 95%CI lower limit of ROR and PRR>1 were detected, involving 16 295 AE reports. After the second screening, PTs with the top 50 AE reports and those with the top 50 PTs ROR values were obtained. After screening out repeated PTs, 93 PTs were included in the analysis, involving 10 138 AE reports. The top 5 system organs in AE reports were neoplasms benign, malignant and unspecified (cysts and polyps) [24.48%(2 482/10 138)], musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders [21.78%(2 208/10 138)], general disorders and administration site conditions [17.04%(1 728/10 138)], blood and lymphatic system disorders [17.04%(1 728/10 138)], and investigations [5.47%(555/10138)]. There were 32 PTs not labelled in the drug instructions, and PTs with the top 5 signal strength were ovarian fibrosis[ROR=379.63, 95%CI lower limit: 120.87; PRR=278.66, 95%CI lower limit: 120.39], ret gene mutation[ROR=379.63, 95%CI lower limit: 120.87; PRR=278.66, 95%CI lower limit: 120.39], antisynthetase syndrome[ROR=208.84, 95%CI lower limit: 190.30); PRR=174.20, 95%CI lower limit: 101.56], hashimoto′s encephalopathy[ROR=164.85, 95%CI lower limit: 69.68; PRR=142.51, 95%CI lower limit: 67.74], and bone marrow oedema syndrome [ROR=122.82, 95%CI lower limit: 65.47; PRR=110.00, 95%CI lower limit: 64.34]. Conclusions Through data mining, 32 adverse reaction risk signals were found, which were not labelled in the drug instructions.

    A 56-year-old male patient received an IV infusion of methylprednisolone 500-mg/d, which was changed to oral prednisone 40-mg/d after 3 days, for thyroid associated ophthalmopathy. Calcium carbonate, calcitriol, alendronate sodium, and esomeprazole magnesium enteric-coated tablets were given orally to prevent hormone-related adverse reactions. The renal function of the patient was normal in the past, but continued to decline after 1 month of medication. And at the end of 3 months after medication, the lowest estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 33.1-ml/(min·1.73 m2). Renal diseases and urinary tract obstruction were excluded by routine urine analysis and color Doppler ultrasound examination of the kidneys. Kidney injury caused by esomeprazole magnesium enteric-coated tablets was considered. Then the drug was replaced by famotidine and the other drugs were continued. After 9 days, the renal function of the patient gradually recovered, with the eGFR of 74.0 ml/(min·1.73 m2) at discharge.

    Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is widely used in medical institutions in China. Because TCM is often regarded as "natural and non-toxic", the irrational use of TCM is more common, such as repeated medication, incompatibility, long-term prescription, inappropriate usage and dosage, and inapprop- riate drug combination. The development and application of TCM prescription pre-audit system is of great significance to the safety management of TCM, but the existing TCM decoction prescription audit system still has some defects and needs to be further improved. The safety of TCM can be further improved by setting up TCM clinical pharmacist post, and strengthening the monitoring of adverse reactions and the study of the interaction between TCM and western medicines. In medical institutions, the management measures of TCM safety should be constantly explored and the pharmaceutical service level of TCM should be improved to ensure the patient safety.

    Objective To understand and analyze the occurrence of medication error (ME) on insulin preparations and its influencing factors and provide reference for the standard use of insulin preparations. Methods The ME reports on insulin preparation-related MEs in the National Monitoring Network for Clinical Safe Medication (monitoring network) from May 6, 2015 to June 30, 2022, were collected and information of MEs including drugs involved, grading, error content, the persons who caused and found the errors, and the factors that triggered the errors were analyzed. Results During the set period, a total of 2-215 ME reports from 193-hospitals in 26 provinces and municipalities in China were collected in the monitoring network. A total of 2-215 patients were involved, including 1-345 males (60.72%) and 870 females (39.28%), aged from 1 to 95 years, with an average age of (52±4) years. Two thousand one hundred and eighty-two MEs (98.51%) were mild and 33 (1.49%) were severe. The 2-215 ME reports involved 8 classes and 29 kinds of insulin, and a total of 2-263 times of ME content. The top 3 ME contents of insulin preparations were variety errors (40.70%, 921), interaction/compatibility errors (18.29%, 414), and dosage errors (9.06%, 205). Among the 2-215 MEs, 58.24% (1-290 MEs) were triggered by physicians, 28.26% (626 MEs) by pharmacists, 6.5% (144 MEs) by patients and their families, 5.6% (124 MEs) by nurses, and 1.40% (31 MEs) by others; 1-741 MEs (78.60%) were detected and intercepted in time, of which 75.70% (1-318) were found by pharmacists, 14.01% (244) by patients/family members, 7.76% (135) by nurses, and 2.53% (44) by physicians. The main factors that caused MEs were lack of knowledge (23.28%, 701), similar drug names (19.36%, 583), fatigue (14.51%, 437), etc. Conclusions The contents of insulin preparations-related MEs mainly include variety error, interaction/compatibility error, and dosage error. MEs are mainly caused by physicians and mostly discovered and intercepted by pharmacists. Lack of knowledge, similar drug names, and fatigue are the major factors causing MEs.

    Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) play the role of anti-tumor by activating the immune system in human, but they can also cause immune-mediated liver injury, which is different from conventional drug-induced liver injury in the incidence, clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, and prognosis. The main pathogenesis is that ICIs block key nodes of negative regulation of the immune response, including cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 and programmed cell death 1 receptor/programmed cell death ligand 1. Liver-injury occurs when the immune system is overactivated and loses immune tolerance to the liver. Immune-mediated liver injury includes immune-mediated hepatitis and immune-mediated cholangitis. Histopathological examination of the liver shows damage in hepatocytes and bile ducts, accompanied by central venous dermatitis mostly and granulomatous lesions partially. After diagnosis of immune-mediated liver injury, treatment should be given based on the severity, and glucocorticoids or immunosuppressants are often necessary.

    Rituximab is a human-mouse chimeric monoclonal antibody synthesized using genetic engineering technology and exert pharmacological effects by specifically binding to the transmembrane protein CD20 on the surface of B cells. The clinical therapeutic effect of rituximab is significant, but its pharmacological mechanism is complex, the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) presents as nonlinear models and is highly variable, which brings great variability and uncertainty to the effectiveness and safety of rituximab in clinic, so individualized therapy needs to be implemented to improve the rationality of medication. At present, rituximab has the basic conditions for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), such as detection technology of blood drug concentration, tumor biomarkers, and related genetic polymorphisms. Using these technologies, combined with comprehensive analysis of factors such as disease diagnosis, population specificity, route of administration, and drug interactions, the PK/PD model of rituximab can be constructed to predict the efficacy, toxicity, and drug resistance. It is of great significance for pharmacists to participate in the individualized rituximab treatment and carry out TDM, which can provide safer and more effective individualized treatment for patients.

The questionnaire was sent through Wechat by the members of Chinese Pharmacological Society Professional Committee of Drug-induced Diseases and Anesthesiology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association. Anesthesiologists, surgeons/nurses and clinical pharmacists volunteered to participate in the survey and submitted in anonymous form directly. The investigation period was from August 1 to 31, 2020. Results A total of 204 effective questionnaires were received from 45-hospitals in 19 provinces and cities, including 43 tertiary hospitals (95.6%) and 2 secondary hospitals (4.4%). Among the 204 respondents, 46 were surgeons (22.5%), 80 were anesthesiologists (39.2%), 32 were clinical pharmacists (15.7%), and 46 were surgical nurses (22.5%). Of the 45-hospitals where the respondents work, 35 (77.8%) had established regular communication mechanisms for perioperative pain management, and 22 (48.9%) arranged clinical pharmacist to assist the work of the physician in the clinical division. Among the 204 respondents, 76.5% (156 respondents) received knowledge training on analgesics once or twice a year; 60.3% (123 respondents) had found irrational use of perioperative analgesics in their daily work, and the top 3 problems were about drug selection [74.0% (91/123)], usage and dosage [69.1% (85/123)], and drug interactions [46.3% (57/123)]; 37.3% (76 respondents) had found the problem of irrational use of the analgesia pump, and the top 3 problems were about the usage and dosage [69.7% (53/76)], drug selection [67.1% (51/76)], and contraindications [36.8% (28/76)]. Only 13.7% (28/204) of the respondents had a score of ≥120 points (full score of 150 points) in the survey for understanding of knowledge about analgesics. There was 53.9% (110/204) of the respondents with a score of <90 points, including 50.0% (23/46) of the surgeons, 43.8% (35/80) of the anesthesiologists, 46.9% (15/32) of the clinical pharmacists, and 80.4% (37/46) of the surgical nurses. Only 4 of the 15 questions had a correct answer fill rate of >50%. Conclusion Most of the hospitals surveyed have established relevant mechanisms for perioperative pain management, but there are still problems of irrational use of perioperative analgesics and analgesia pumps. About half of the surgeons, anesthesiologists, clinical pharmacists, and most of the surgical nurses have little understanding of knowledge about analgesics.

    Objective To explore the occurrence of adverse reactions of empagliflozin in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods Medical records of all patients who were treated with empagliflozin during hospitalization in China-Japan Friendship Hospital from May 1 to December 31, 2020 were collected through the hospital information system. According to the main adverse reactions indicated in the label of empagliflozin, the occurrence of urinary tract infection, hypoglycemia, and hypotension after the application of empagliflozin was retrospectively analyzed. According to the Handbook of Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting and Monitoring in China, the causality between drugs and adverse reactions was evaluated, and those adverse events that were certainly, probably, and possibly related to empagliflozin were judged as empagliflozin-related adverse reactions. Results A total of 718 inpatients received empagliflozin treatment during the study period, including 517 males and 201 females, with age of (59±12) years. The doses of empagliflozin were all 10-mg orally once daily. The treatment time was (7±3) days and the length of hospital stay was (8±4) days. Among 718 patients, 17 (2.4%) experienced adverse reactions possibly related to empagliflozin, including 11 (1.5%) with urinary tract infection (all showing asympto- matic bacteriuria), 4 (0.6%) with hypoglycemia, and 2 (0.3%) with hypotension. There were 8 males and 9 females among the 17 patients with adverse reactions, and the incidence of adverse reactions in females was significantly higher than that in males [4.5% (9/201) vs. 1.5% (8/517), χ2=5.376, P=0.020]. Among the 11 patients with urinary tract infection, 4 were male, 7 were female, and the incidence of urinary tract infection in females was significantly higher than that in males [3.5% (7/201) vs. 0.8% (4/517), χ2=7.040, P=0.008]. In the medical records of the 17 patients, the above-mentioned adverse reactions were all not documented as related to empagliflozin, and were all not reported as adverse drug reactions. Conclusions The adverse reactions related to empagliflozin in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were urinary tract infection, hypoglycemia, and hypotension. The prevention of urinary tract infection should be strengthened, especially in female patients. The awareness of clinical medical staff on the adverse reactions of empagliflozin needs to be improved.

    A 37-year-old female patient with psoriasis received subcutaneous injection of secukinumab 300-mg once a week. Four weeks later, it was changed to subcutaneous injection of 300-mg once every 4 weeks. Seventy-five days later, the patient developed abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fever. The patient had no previous intestinal disease and family history of inflammatory bowel disease. Ulcerative colitis (initial, whole colon, and severe type) was diagnosed by enteroscopy, which was considered to be related to secukinumab. After 2 days of anti-inflammatory treatment with glucocorticoid, the patient′s body tempera- ture returned to normal and the abdominal pain was alleviated; after 9 days, the patient only had a dull abdo- minal pain at night and no other discomfort occurred.

    The recommendations of Guideline for Emergency Management of Anaphylaxis  answered 15 clinical questions about diagnosis, preparation for treatment, treatment measures, and post-treatment management of anaphylaxis and a total of 26 recommendations were formed. In the recommendations, the quality of evidence was divided into 4 levels: high, moderate, low, and very low. And the strength of recommendation was divided into 2 levels: strong and weak. The strength of recommendations was mainly determined by weighing the advantages and disadvantages, instead of relying on the quality of evidence. Emergency management of anaphylaxis in clinical practice could be carried out with reference to the recommendations of this guideline.

    A 17-year-old male patient received rituximab due to nephrotic syndrome. No obvious discomfort occurred during the first treatment (500-mg by intravenous infusion). After half a year, when the second treatment (300-mg by intravenous infusion) was given, the patient developed symptoms such as fatigue of limbs and inability to lift both lower limbs. Laboratory test showed blood potassium 2.37-mmol/L. Before treatment, the serum potassium was 4.16-mmol/l, and other laboratory test indicators were basically normal. Acute hypokalemia caused by rituximab was considered. Oral potassium chloride was given. On the 2nd day, the symptoms in the patient were relieved, the feeling of powerlessness disappeared, and the blood potassium was 3.06-mmol/L. On the 3rd day, the blood potassium was 4.34-mmol/L. the potassium supplement was stopped after 3 days of medication. The next day, the blood potassium was 4.70-mmol/l, and the patient′s limb weakness and discomfort symptoms disappeared. After that, the patient did not use rituximab again, and no hypokalemia recurred.

    In 2019, a total of 15 056 cases of medication error (ME) from 234 hospitals in 24 provincial administrative regions were collected in the National Monitoring Network for Clinical Safe Medication. The number of hospitals reporting ME increased by 32.20% compared with that in 2018 (177 hospitals), and the number of reported cases increased by 28.02% compared with that in 2018 (11 761 cases). In 15 056 cases of ME reports, 52 (0.35%) were classified as grade A, 11 175 (74.22%) as grade B, 3 351 (22.26%) as grade C, 350 (2.32%) as grade D, 79 (0.52%) as grade E, 44 (0.29%) as grade F, 0 as grade G, 4 (0.03%) as grade H, and 1 (0.01%) as grade I. Among the 15 004 patients involved in ME of grade B‑I, 8 801 (58.66%)were male and 6 203 (41.34%) were female; the age of these patients ranged from 1 day to 103 years, 2 027 patients (13.51%) were <18 years old, 7 377 patients (49.17%) were ≥18 to <60 years old, and 5 600 patients (37.32%) were ≥60 years old. Serious MEs (grade E‑I) involved 128 patients, of whom 65 (50.78%) were aged over 60 years. The top 3 drugs involved in serious MEs were insulin glargine, methotrexate tablets, and warfarin tablets. The 52 cases of grade A MEs did not involve person who triggered the MEs and places where MEs occurred. In the 15 004 cases of grade B‑I MEs, 9 821 (65.46%) were triggered by physicians, 3 561 (23.73%) by pharmacists, 634 (4.23%) by nurses, 306 (2.04%) by patients and their family members, and 2.04% (4.54%) by other persons; the proportion of MEs triggered by physicians and patients and their family members were higher than those in 2018 (60.89% and 1.06%), respectively; 5 662 (37.74%) occurred in the clinics, 4 001 (26.67%) in hospital wards, 3 721 (24.80%) in the pharmacies, 1 084 (7.22%) in pharmacy intravenous admixture services, 224 (1.49%) in the nurse stations, 133 (0.89%) in patients′ houses, 4 (0.03%) in the community health service stations, and 175 (1.17%) in other places; the proportion of MEs in pharmacy intravenous admixture services and patients′ houses were higher than those in 2018 (5.52% and 0.41%), respectively. The top 3 contents of MEs were wrong drug class, wrong usage, and wrong single dose. The top 3 persons who discovered the MEs were pharmacists, nurses, and physicians. The top 3 factors cau- sing MEs were lack of related pharmacologic knowledge, tiredness, and insufficient training of medical workers.

    A 78-year-old female patient was treated with orelabrutinib 100-mg once daily orally due to recurrence of lymphoma. On the 2nd day of treatment, the patient′s fecal occult blood was weakly positive. Three days later, fibrinogen was 0.61-g/L. After intravenous infusion of cryoprecipitated coagulation factor and frozen plasma, the fibrinogen level rose slightly. The patient did not follow the doctor′s advice and took orelabrutinib irregularly, and her fibrinogen level recovered to 1.71-g/L. After further regular treatment with orelabrutinib, her fibrinogen decreased to 0.74-g/L and irregular skin ecchymosis and bleeding spots appeared in the inner side skin of both lower limbs. The fibrinogen in the patient returned to 2.17-g/L after temporary suspension of orelabrutinib and receiving 2 times of intravenous infusion of cold precipitated coagulation factor 10 U, then decreased to 0.94 g/L after reuse of orelabrutinib, and finally recovered to 3.82-g/L after 3 times of intermittent infusion of cold precipitated coagulation factor. It is considered that the hypofibrinogenemia in the patient was caused by orelabrutinib.

    The incidence of pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (ED) is high, and the potential harm is significant. It can be diagnosed through the pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium scale (PAED). The risk factors of pediatric anesthesia ED include personal, surgical, and anesthetic factors. The anesthesia ED in children can be effectively prevented by relieving preoperative anxiety, optimizing anesthetic strategies, and providing effective postoperative analgesia. Alpha 2 agonists (eg. dexmedetomidine), opioids (eg. fentanyl), propofol, and ketamine have both preventive and therapeutic effects on anesthesia ED in children.

    Drug safety is always the primary concern in both the stage of new drug development and the post-marketing clinical application stage, and it is also the main reason for drug development failure and even post-marketing drug withdrawal. The physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model can not only routinely predict the human plasma pharmacokinetics, but also predict the concentration distribution of drugs in different tissues, which has become an important tool for predicting the adverse reactions of new drugs and has gradually attracted the attention of drug regulatory authorities. In this article, the latest progress and application of the PBPK model for predicting drug-induced nephrotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, and neurotoxicity are briefly reviewed to provide references for early prediction of adverse drug reactions in new drug development and rational clinical use of drugs.

    A 72-year-old male patient received anti-infectious treatments with piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium, moxifloxacin, and posaconazole, and expectorant treatment with acetylcysteine for pulmonary infection after lung transplantation; original antirejection therapy with tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil was continued. Before treatments, serum creatinine was 98-μmol/L and blood urea nitrogen was 3.4-μmol/L. On the 5th day of treatments, the trough blood concentration of tacrolimus increased to 22.9-μg/L, serum creatinine increased to 497-μmol/L, and blood urea nitrogen increased to 17.91-mmol/L. During the consultation, the clinical pharmacists learned that the patient used posaconazole and tacrolimus in combination. They also understood that posaconazole could inhibit the activity of liver cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4, while tacrolimus was mainly metabolized by CYP3A4 by searching the literature. Then it is considered that the acute kidney injury caused by tacrolimus occurred due to the increase of blood concentration following the simultaneous application of tacrolimus and posaconazole. Clinical pharmacists recommended that posaconazole was replaced by caspofungin and the dose of tacrolimus was reduced. The clinician adopted the above recommendations and the patient was given continuous venous-venous hemofiltration meantime. Eight days later, the patient′s serum creatinine level gradually decreased to 334-μmol/L, blood urea nitrogen was 7.6-mmol/L, and urine volume was 200-ml. Then hemodialysis was performed 3 times a week; 1 month later, the patient′s serum creatinine was 115-μmol/L, and blood urea nitrogen was 7.2-mmol/L.

    Objective To understand the risk signal of ocular adverse events (AE) related to mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and to provide reference for the safe clinical use of this drug. Methods The US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database was searched, and the AE reports on MMF as the primary suspect drug from the 1st quarter of 2004 to the 3rd quarter of 2022 were collected. AEs were counted and classified using the preferred system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities version 24.0, and ocular AEs were screened out. The ocular AE risk signals were explored using 3 frequency methods, including reporting odds ratio (ROR) method, proportional reporting ratio (PRR) method, and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network method, and the multi-item gamma-Possion shrinker (MGPS) method. The information of the ocular AE reports and AE risk signals of MMF were analyzed descriptively. Results A total of 402 cases of ocular AE with MMF as the primary suspect drug were collected, which involved 402 patients, 31 PTs and 5 SOCs. The 402 AE cases were reported among 33 countries, 283 of which had clinical outcome records, including death in 32 cases (11.3%), disability or blindness in 142 cases (50.2%), life-threatening in 14 cases (4.9%), and hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization in 95 cases (33.6%). Results of the frequency method showed that all 31 PTs were risk signals, while the results of the MGPS method manifested that 22 PTs were risk signals. None of the 31 PTs were recorded in the drug labels. The top 5 PTs in the number of AE reports were blindness (136 cases), cytomegalovirus chorioretinitis (37 cases), uveitis (34 cases), endophthalmitis (29 cases), and necrotising retinitis (22 cases). The ranking of signal intensity showed by the 4 methods was similar. The top 5 PTs with the high signal intensity were orbital apex syndrome [ROR=55.84, PRR=55.83, information component (IC)=5.58, empirical Bayesian geometric mean (EBGM)=47.71], quadrantanopia (ROR=43.22, PRR=43.21, IC=5.26, EBGM=38.21), retinitis viral (ROR=40.13, PRR=40.13, IC=5.16, EBGM=35.78), optic discs blurred (ROR=40.13, PRR=40.13, IC=5.16, EBGM=35.78), and serpiginous choroiditis (ROR=31.07, PRR=31.07, IC=4.83, EBGM=28.41). Conclusions The clinical manifestations of ocular AE during MMF treatment are diverse, and none of them are recorded in the drug label. The clinical outcomes are poor and can lead to blindness, which should be vigilant in clinical practice.

    Objective To compare the occurrence and clinical characteristics of hypersensitivity reactions induced by 3 non-ionic iodine contrast media (NICMs) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods The patients who developed hypersensitivity reactions in iopromide, iohexol, and iodixanol application during PCI were screened out from adverse drug reaction reports of Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2018 and the total number of patients who underwent the PCI during that period and received the above NICMs was obtained by searching the hospital information system. The overall incidences of hypersensitivity reactions and severe hypersensitivity reactions and incidences of those induced by each of the 3 NICMs were calculated and their clinical characteristics were analyzed. Results The overall incidences of hypersensitivity reactions and severe hypersensitivity reactions induced by the 3 NICMs were 0.603% (422/69-955) and 0.024% (17/69-955). The incidences of hypersensitivity reactions induced by iohexol, iopromide, and iodixanol were 0.418% (109/26-097), 0.364% (83/22-787), and 1.092% (230/21-071), respectively; the incidences of severe hypersensitivity reactions were 0.023% (6/26-097), 0.039% (9/22-787), and 0.009% (2/21-071), respectively. Iodixanol had a higher incidence of hypersensitivity reactions than iopromide and iohexol (both P<0.001) but the lowest incidence of severe hypersensitivity reactions, which was significantly different from that of iopromide (P=0.047). Of the 422 patients who developed hypersensitivity reactions, 327 were male and 95 were female with an average age of 59 years (range: 27-101 years). The time of hypersensitivity reactions occurrence was recorded in 373 patients and time from NICMs injection to hypersensitivity reactions occurrence were 30-minutes to 90-hours with the median time of 5 hours; hypersensitivity reactions were immediate type (latency ≤1 hour) in 127 patients (34.0%) and delayed type (latency>1 hour) in 246 patients (66.0%). The hypersensitivity reactions induced by iopromide were mainly immediate type (79.5%, 62/78), while those induced by ioxamol were mainly delayed type (87.7%, 193/220). The proportion of patients with a previous history of allergy in the immediate type patients was significantly higher than that in the delayed type patients [15.0% (15/100) vs. 7.1% (14/197), P=0.030]. The most common clinical manifestation of hypersensitivity reactions was rash [78.0% (329/422)]. Among 17 cases of severe hypersensitivity reactions, 15 (88.2%) were anaphylactic shock, 1 was laryngeal edema, and 1 was dyspnea, all of which were immediate type. Hypersensitivity reactions were all improved after treatments, but PCI failed to be fully performed in 6 patients due to severe hypersensitivity reactions. Conclusions The safety of 3 NICMs for PCI was good and the incidence of hypersensitivity reactions was low; the incidence of severe hypersensitivity reactions due to iopromide was the highest. Severe hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylactic shock might affect the performance of PCI and caution should be given.

    An 81-year-old male patient with bipedal blue toe syndrome received IV pumping of dexmedetomidine 0.2-mg dissolved in 0.9% sodium chloride injection 48-ml at the rate of 4-ml/h once daily because of severe pain in his left toe. The patient developed irritability and delirium about 6 hours after the 3rd IV pumping. The next day, the pain was relieved and dexmedetomidine was stopped. After drug withdrawal, the patient occasionally had delirium. Due to difficulty in falling asleep, the same dose of dexmedetomidine was given again on the 3rd day of drug withdrawal. The same dose of dexmedetomidine was given twice the next day and obvious delirium and irritability occurred 2-3 hours after drug administration of each time. Delirium was suspected to be related to dexmedetomidine. Dexmedetomidine was stopped again and replaced by tramadol and midazolam. On the 6th day of drug withdrawal, the patient′s consciousness turned clear, and no delirium recured.

    Drug conditional approval refers to the accelerated approval and marketing of clinically urgently needed drugs with outstanding therapeutic value through the form of "approval first, verification later" before completing complete clinical trials. Since the 1990s, the United States, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom have successively implemented drug conditional approval for marketing. In 2017, the application for conditional approval of drugs was implemented in China. In this paper, the pre-market conditions and requirements, post-market monitoring and supervision of drugs in China are compared with other countries/regions. Based on the comparison results, the possible optimization directions of China′s drug conditional approval system are summarized and explored.

    The "Top 10 drug tips for the public in 2023" issued by the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association emphasizes the importance of drinking water correctly to the safety and efficacy of drugs. Each drug has an optimal amount of drinking water, and only the appropriate amount can ensure the efficacy and avoid adverse reactions. According to UpToDate clinical consultant, Micromedex, MCDEX evidence-based databases and the drug labels of the US FDA and the European Medicines Agency, a total of 164 drugs in 20 categories, including drugs for metabolism and endocrine system, anti-infective drugs, anti-tumor drugs, etc., were labeled with the recommendation of adequate water intake. Here we summarize the above-mentioned drugs and their recommended water intake. The common reasons to drink enough water include preventing esophageal and gastric injury, preventing kidney injury, preventing dehydration, water and electrolyte disorders, preventing constipation, reducing bladder toxicity, reducing radiation damage, and promoting stone discharge. In addition, different people have different requirements for the amount of water when taking medicine. Mastering the correct amount of water is conducive to controlling the disease and reducing the adverse drug events.

    Objective To explore the effect of evolocumab on the risk of early intracranial hemor- rhage in patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic cerebral infarction. Methods The medical records of patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic cerebral infarction who were admitted to Tianjin Huanhu Hospital within 48-hours of onset from January 2019 to September 2020 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. On the day of admission, all patients were given statin lipid-lowering therapy and the patients with fasting low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) >3.37-mmol/L received combination therapy with statin and evolocumab. The patients who used statins alone were enrolled in the statins group and those with combined application of evolocumab were enrolled in the combination group. The situation of blood lipid level up to standard (LDL-c <1.70-mmol/L) and the occurrence of intracranial hemorrhage in the second week after admission were compared between the 2 groups. The patients were divided into bleeding group and non-bleeding group according to the occurrence of intracranial hemorrhage. The basic information, combined diseases, etiological classification of cerebral infarction, lipid-lowering program, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score on admission, blood pressure, blood lipid level, and blood lipid level in the second week of lipid-lowering treatment between the 2 groups were compared. The factors with P<0.05 were enrolled in the multivariate logistic regression analysis, odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated, and the risk factors of intracranial hemorrhage were analyzed. Results A total of 437 patients were enrolled in the analysis, including 358 (81.9%) in the statins group and 79 (18.1%) in the combination group. The differences in basic information, combined diseases, etiological classification of cerebral infarction, lipid-lowering program, NIHSS score on admission, blood pressure, and other clinical features between the 2 groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The baseline levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), LDL-c, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) in the statins group were lower than those in the combination group (TC: P<0.001, TG: P<0.001, LDL-c: P=0.004, HDL-c: P=0.024). At the 2nd week of lipid-lowering treatment, the levels of LDL-c and TC in the statins group and the combination group were lower than those before treatment, but the differences of LDL-c and TC levels before and after treatment in the statins group were significantly lower than those in the combination group [LDL-c: (0.66±0.91) mmol/L vs. (2.58±0.38) mmol/L, P<0.001; TC: (0.37±0.18) mmol/L vs. (1.94±0.44) mmol/L, P<0.001]. The rate of lipid level up to standard in the combination group was significantly higher than that in the statins group [87.3% (69/79) vs. 9.7% (37/358), P<0.001]. The incidences of intracranial hemorrhage were 12.0% (43/358) in the statins group and 13.9% (11/79) in the combination group within 2 weeks after admission respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that complication with atrial fibrillation (OR=3.054, 95%CI: 1.402-6.651, P=0.005), higher NIHSS score on admission (OR=3.431, 95%CI: 1.554-7.573, P=0.001), and etiological classificantion as cardiac embolism (OR=1.544, 95%CI: 1.047- 2.278, P=0.028) were independent risk factors for early intracranial hemorrhage. Conclusions The combination of statins and elouzumab has better lipid-lowering effect in patients with acute anterior circulation cerebral infarction. No correlation is found between evolocumab and early intracranial hemorrhage.

    An 89-year-old female patient received escitalopram 10-mg once daily for depression. Three months later, the patient was admitted to hospital for sudden dizziness and a fall. Escitalopram was continued after the admission. On the 6th day of admission, the patient developed syncope again, transient ventricular tachycardia was found by electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring, and the ECG showed the rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) 612-ms. Escitalopram was discontinued. However, the next day the patient developed ventricular tachycardia again, and the ECG showed Torsades de Pointes and QTc 727-ms. The serum potassium level was 2.84-mmol/L and the patient was given intravenous and oral potassium supplementation. On the 9th day of admission, the patient′s serum potassium level and ECG returned to normal, and the QTc was 487-ms. Escitalopram (with the same dose as before) was given again. The next 5 days, her QTc gradually extended to 506-ms, but serum potassium was normal. Escitalopram was discontinued again and the QTc shortened to 495-ms 2 days later. After 27 days of drug withdrawal, the ECG showed the QTc was 467-ms.

    In 2020, a total of 15-849 cases of medication error (ME) from 255-hospitals in 24 provincial administrative regions were collected in the National Monitoring Network for Clinical Safe Medication. The number of hospitals reporting ME increased by 8.97% compared with that in 2019 (234-hospitals), and the number of reported ME cases increased by 5.27% compared with that in 2018 (15-056 cases). In 15-849 cases of ME reports, 54 (0.34%) were classified as grade A, 12-297 (77.59%) as grade B, 3-010 (18.99%) as grade C, 358 (2.26%) as grade D, 72 (0.45%) as grade E, 52 (0.33%) as grade F, 0 as grade G, 5 (0.03%) as grade H, and 1 (0.01%) as grade I. Among the 15-795 patients with ME of grade B to I, 9-347 (59.18%) were male and 6-448 (40.82%) were female, aged from 1 day to 101 years; 1-714 (10.85%) were children (<18 years old), 8-355 (52.90%) were middle aged patients (≥18 to <60 years old), and 5-726 (36.25%) were elderly patients (≥60 years old). Among the 130 patients with serious ME (grade E-I) that caused injury, 77 (59.23%) were male and 53 (40.77%) were female, aged from 4 months and 14 days to 94 years; 16(12.31%) were children, 46(35.38%) were middle aged patients, 68(52.31%) were elderly patients. Among the 9 patients with serious ME caused by mistaken use of drugs, 7 were children, accounting for 43.75% (7/16) of all children with serious ME. The 54 grade A MEs did not involve person who triggered the MEs and place where MEs occurred. Among the 15-795 grade B-I MEs, 10-748 (68.05%) were triggered by physicians, 3-797 (24.04%) by pharmacists, 578 (3.66%) by nurses, 329 (2.08%) by patients and their family members, and 343 (2.17%) by other persons; the proportion of MEs triggered by patients and their family members increased year by year for 3 consecutive years (1.06% and 2.04% in 2018 and 2019, respectively), and 49.23% (64/130) of severe ME were triggered by patients and their family members; 6-830 (43.24%) occurred in clinics, 3-808 (24.11%) in hospital wards, 3-776 (23.91%) in pharmacies, 985 (6.24%) in pharmacy intravenous admixture services, 220 (1.39%) in the nurse stations, 161 (1.02%) in patients′ houses, 2 (0.01%) in the community health service stations, and 13 (0.08%) in other places; the proportion of MEs occurred in clinics and patients′ houses increased year by year for 3 consecutive years (37.32% and 0.41% in 2018, 37.74% and 0.89% in 2019, respectively). The top 3 contents of MEs were wrong drug class, wrong usage, and wrong quantity. The top 3 persons who discovered the MEs were pharmacists, physicians, and nurses. The top 3 factors causing MEs were lack of related pharmacologic knowledge, tiredness, and insufficient training of medical workers.

    A 54-year-old female patient was scheduled to undergo laparoscopic segmental resection for hepatic hemangioma. Thirty minutes before operation, an IV infusion of etimicin sulfate and sodium chloride injection 100-mg was given to prevent infection. After 2-minutes of medication, the patient developed general numbness, apathy, redness of the skin, cold sweating, and dyspnea. Her breath rate was 22 times per minute, heart rate was 110 beats per minute, blood pressure was 45/32-mmHg, and pulse oxygen saturation (SPO2) was undetectable. Anaphylactic shock due to etimicin was considered. Etimicin was discontinued immediately and treatments such as oxygen inhalation, epinephrine, methylprednisolone sodium succinate, norepinephrine, and intravenous volume expansion were administered. Twenty minutes later, the patient′s symptoms were basically relieved, with breath rate 18 times per minute, heart rate 88 times per minute, blood pressure 108/60-mmHg, and SPO2-0.99. Thirteen hours later, all symptoms disappeared.

    Dexamethasidine (DEX) is an alpha-2 adrenoreceptor (α2-AR) agonist, which is not only used in the perioperative period, but also in outpatient examination or treatment. The characteristics and advantages of sedation and hypnosis with DEX are that patients can enter a state similar to natural sleep, which is not only beneficial to improve the sedation effect, but also easy to wake up, and there is little jaw relaxation and no obvious respiratory inhibition. The additional advantages of DEX lie in its function of anti-stress response and potential organ protection and its little influence on cognitive function. The main adverse reactions of DEX were temporary hypertension, hypotension, bradycardia, and so on. Another characteristic of DEX is the relatively slow disappearance of drug effect. Patients may have drowsiness and postural hypotension after operation. It must be noted that DEX cannot be used as an independent anesthetic in general anesthesia to act as the main analgesic and sedative, but only to play an auxiliary role, which depends on the reasonable use and dosage and is not "all" or "none". And the vital signs of patients must be closely monitored during the process of DEX application.

    Objective To explore the clinical features of tacrolimus-associated posterior rever- sible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in patients after kidney transplantation. Methods Relevant databases at home and abroad were searched as of August 2020, and case reports of tacrolimus-associated PRES after kidney transplantation were collected. Clinical information including patient′s basic characteristics, tacrolimus application (such as route of administration, dose, blood concentration, drug combination regimen, etc.), and the occurrence time, clinical manifestation, imaging characteristics, intervention measures, and outcomes of PRES were extracted and analyzed by descriptive statistical method. Results A total of 16 patients were enrolled in the study, including 7 males and 9 females, aged from 7 to 54 years with a median age of 26 years. Of them, 6 patients were <18 years old and 10 patients were ≥18 years old. Among the 16 patients, 8 received intravenous administration and 8 oral administration. Thirteen patients had records of drug combination regimen and 1, 2, and 3 immunosuppressants were combined in 3, 8, and 2 patients, respectively. PRES occurred from 3 days to 3 months after renal transplantation and 10 patients (62.5%) occurred within 1 month after operation. Eleven of 13 patients who underwent tacrolimus plasma concentrations testing did not exceed the upper limit of the treatment window when PRES occurred. The main symptoms of PRES included convulsions/seizures-like seizures (in 11 patients), visual abnormalities (in 7 patients), persistent headache (in 6 patients), and coma or disturbance of consciousness (in 6 patients). CT and/or magnetic resonance imaging were performed in all 16 patients. Imaging features of cerebral edema or vasogenic cerebral edema were found in 15 patients and the lesions located mainly in occipital lobe (13 patients), parietal lobe (12 patients), and the frontal lobe (8 patients). After discontinuation or reduction of the tacrolimus dose and/or giving symptomatic and supportive treatments for 2-44 days (the median time of 9 days), symptoms subsided in all 16 patients and imaging examination showed cerebral edema, vasogenic cerebral edema, and other lesions subsided in 15 patients. Conclusions Tacrolimus-associated PRES mostly occurred within 3 months after renal transplantation, which was not related to the route of administration or blood concentration of tacrolimus. The clinical manifestations of tacrolimus-associated PRES were similar to those caused by other factors. After discontinuation of tacrolimus, reduction of drug dose and/or administration of symptomatic treatment, most of the symptoms disappeared quickly and the imaging changes returned to normal.

    Objective To explore the occurrence and clinical characteristics of thyroid dysfunction caused by camrelizumab. Methods The subjects were selected from all malignant tumor patients who were treated with camrelizumab during hospitalization in Heping Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from June 2020 to September 2021. The electronic medical records of patients who met the inclusion criteria were collected, and the general conditions, camrelizumab application, combined medication, and the thyroid function test results before and after the application of camrelizumab were collected. The causality between drugs and injuries in patients who developed thyroid dysfunction was assessed using Naranjo′s causality assessment scale. The clinical characteristics of thyroid dysfunction were analyzed based on the medical records that had evaluation results of "certainly" or "probably". Results A total of 71 patients were included in the analysis, and 22 patients (31.0%) developed camrelizumab-related thyroid dysfunction (causality assessment results were all "probably"). When thyroid dysfunction was found for the first time, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism were diagnosed in 11 patients, respectively, and 3 patients with hyperthyroidism developed into hypothyroidism later. The incidences of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism were 19.7% and 11.3% respectively. Among the 22 patients, 15 were male and 7 were female, aged 47-78 years; 10 patients were with lung cancer, 4 with gastric cancer, 3 with esophageal cancer, 2 with liver cancer, 2 with breast cancer, and 1 with peritoneal omental mesothelioma; 3 patients were treated with camrelizumab monotherapy, and 19 were treated with camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy and/or targeted drug therapy. Thyroid dysfunction all occurred in the first to sixth cycles of camrelizumab treatment, of which 15 (68.2%) in the first to third cycles. Of the 11 patients with initial diagnose of hypothyroidism, 6 had no obvious symptoms, 5 had fatigue (1 was complicated with apathy), and 4 were subclinical hypothyroidism; the severity was grade 1 in 4 cases and grade 2 in 7 cases. None of the 11 patients with initial diagnose of hyperthyroidism had significant symptoms, and 5 of them had subclinical hyperthyroid. All of the 11 cases were grade 1 in severity, 3 developed into hypothyroidism after 3, 6, and 7 cycles of camrelizumab treatment, which was grade 2 in severity. None of the 22 patients discontinued camrelizumab. No intervention was given to the patients with grade 1 hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, of which 3 patients with hyperthyroidism returned to normal on their own and the remaining showed no obvious changes in their thyroid function. Ten patients with grade 2 hypothyroidism received thyroid hormone replacement therapy; thyroid function was normal in 2 patients, improved in 5 patients, and without obvious changes in 3 patients. Conclusions Thyroid dysfunction is a very common adverse reaction of camrelizumab, which can present as both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, and initial hyperthyroidism can evolve to hypothyroidism. Thyroid dysfunction was mostly grade 1-2 in severity and the drug does not need to be discontinued generally. Patients with grade 2 hypothyroidism should be given thyroid hormone replacement therapy.

    In 2023, a total of 27 742 cases of medication error (ME) from 439 hospitals in 27 pro‑vincial administrative regions were collected in the National Monitoring Network for Clinical Safe Medica‑tion. Among them, 282 (1.02%) were classified as grade A, 22 452 (80.93%) as grade B, 4 239 (15.28%) asgrade C, 499 (1.80%) as grade D, 141 (0.51%) as grade E, 127 (0.46%) as grade F, 1 (<0.01%) as grade G,and 1 (<0.01%) as grade I; no MEs of grade H occurred. Among the 27 460 patients involved in MEs ofgrade B to I, 15 131 (55.10%) were male and 12 329 (44.23%) were female; their ages were from 1 day to103 years; 3 198 (11.65%) were children (<18 years old), 12 576 (45.80%) were young and middle‑agedadults (≥18 to <60 years old), and 11 686 (42.56%) were elderly (≥60 years old). The top 3 contents of MEwere wrong drug class (5 880 cases, 20.97%), wrong dosage (4 668 cases, 16.65%), and wrong administration·390·药物不良反应杂志 2024 年7月第 26 卷第7期 ADRJ,July 2024, Vol. 26, No. 7frequency (3 184 cases, 11.35%). A total of 270 patients were involved in severe MEs (grade E‑I), including140 (51.85%) males and 130 (48.15%) females, aged from 52 days to 94 years, of which 31 (11.48%) werechildren, 91 (33.70%) were young and middle‑aged adults, and 148 (54.82%) were elderly. The top 3 drugsinvolved were cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium, metformin, and estazolam. One fatal ME wascaused by mistakenly orally taking Fufang Jingjie for fumigation and washing. Among the 27 460 gradeB‑I MEs, 19 655 (71.58%) were triggered by physicians, 5 688 (20.71%) by pharmacists, and few by nurses,patients and their family members, etc. These MEs mainly occurred in clinics (10 537 cases, 38.37%), inhospital wards (8 187 cases, 29.81%), and in pharmacies (6 470 cases, 23.56%). But among the 270 severeMEs, 121 (44.81%) occurred in the patient′s home. The top 3 persons who discovered the ME were phar‑macists (20 693 cases, 74.46%), patients and their family members (3 240 cases, 11.66%), and physicians(2 214 cases, 7.97%). The top 3 factors causing ME were lack of related pharmacologic knowledge (9 382cases, 28.3%), tiredness (5 974 cases, 18.05%), and insufficient training of medical workers (3 831 cases,11.58%). In view of MEs with high incidence or more severe in 2023, relevant risks should be paid attentionto, including misusing external drugs for internal use, ingestion of drug packaging by mistake, wrong doseconversion in children, ME in special dosing frequency, too fast infusion speed of enteral nutrition prepara‑tions and irritant intravenous preparations, interaction between montmorillonite powder and other drugs,hypernatremia caused by fosfomycin sodium, etc. In addition, strengthening the management of drug varietieswith frequent severe MEs and fatal MEs, as well as the popular science and safe drug use education forpatients, can help ensure the medication safety of patients.

    Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of antibacterials-induced neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with chronic renal failure. Methods: Patients with chronic renal failure treated with antibacterials, during January 1999 and December 2001,were retrospectively analysed. Results: 12 patients with chronic renal failure developed antibacterials- induced neuropsychiatric symptoms, 6 males and 6 femals, with a mean age of 64.3±9.7 years. After receiving intravenous injection daily for 1-6 days, patients presented with progressive neuropsychiatric symptoms, including extra-pyramidal system symptoms, disorientation, depressed consciousness, even coma, or apathy, agitation, hallucination, and personality changes. The very common drug involved was cephalosporins, the others were penicillins, carbopenems, quinolones and isoniazid. After withdrawal of evil agents, the neuropsychiatric symptoms disappeared within a few days. Conclusion: Antibacterial agents can cause neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with chronic renal failure. Physicians should be aware of these potentially dangerous neurotoxicity during performing anti-infection therapy and withdrawal of the drugs whenever the adverse effects occur.

    A 69-year-old male patient was treated with nivolumab combined with tegafur-gimeraci- loteracil potassium due to gastric adenocarcinoma with liver, pancreas, and abdominal lymph node metastasis after completing 4 cycles of chemotherapy with oxaliplatin and raltitrexed. Ten days later, the patient developed severe rashes all over the body, which was considered to be adverse skin reactions caused by nivolumab and tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil potassium. Then the 2 drugs were stopped and treatments with methylprednisolone and antiallergic drugs were given. The rashes were gradually improved, the dose of glucocorticoid was reduced gradually, and it was stopped at last. However, on the day of glucocorticoid withdrawal, the patient developed fever, chills, and severe respiratory failure. In combination with clinical treatment, laboratory test results, and imaging changes in the patient, it was considered to be immune-related pneumonitis caused by nivolumab. Methylprednisolone, anti-infection, and high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy were given. Four days later, the asthma symptoms in the patient were obviously improved, and 28 days later, the pulmonary CT showed the pneumonitis was markedly improved than before.

    A 26-year-old male patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus was given liraglutide (0.6-mg/d) on the basis of insulin combined with metformin because of the poor therapeutic effect. Four days later, the dose of liraglutide was doubled and empagliflozin (10-mg orally, once daily) was added. The next day, the patient developed nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain accompanied by elevated serum amylase and lipase (peak levels were 1-048-U/L and 26-U/L, respectively). Acute pancreatitis was diagnosed, all hypoglycemic drugs were discontinued, and fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, intravenous fluid infusion, continuous infusion of low-dose insulin, and symptomatic treatments with lansoprazole and somatostatin were given. Three days later, the patient′s symptoms were relieved, and serum amylase and lipase levels returned to normal. Ten days later, the hypoglycemic drug was changed to subcutaneous injection of insulin aspart 30 injection (24 U in the morning and 16 U in the evening) before meals and oral metformin 0.5 g thrice daily. His blood glucose was controlled and no symptoms of pancreatitis recurred. Therefore, it was considered that the patients′ pancreatitis might be related to the combined use of liraglutide and empagliflozin.

    Objective To mine the risk signals of ipilimumab-related adverse events (AEs) and provide reference for the safe use in clinical practice. Methods AE reports with ipilimumab as the primary suspect drug were collected from US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database during March 1, 2011 to September 30, 2022. AEs were standardized and classified according to the preferred term (PT) and system organ class (SOC) in Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activites version 26.0. The AE risk signals of ipilimumab were mined using reporting odds ratio (ROR) method. An AE with reports≥3, ROR≥2, 95% confidence interval (CI) lower limit of ROR>1 was defined as a risk signal. Risk signals were analyzed using descriptive method. Results A total of 12-329 AE reports were entered in the analysis, involving 1-915 PTs. Two hundred and sixty-eight risk signals (PTs) were obtained using ROR method, involving 21 SOCs. The top 10 PTs in report number were diarrhea, colitis, rash, fever, hypophysitis, adrenal insufficiency, decreased appetite, hypothyroidism, liver disease, and dehydration, all of which were common AEs in the labels. The top 10 PTs in signal intensity were hypophysitis, lymphocytic hypophysitis, immune-mediated dermatitis, immune-mediated adrenal insufficiency, hypopituitarism, immune-mediated liver disease, adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency, immune-mediated encephalitis, autoimmune colitis, and immune-mediated hyperthyroidism. The SOCs involved were endocrine system diseases, skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases, hepatobiliary system diseases, gastrointestinal system diseases, and nervous system diseases. A total of 36 PTs were not included in the labels, and the top 5 in signal intensity were intracranial tumor hemorrhage, radiation necrosis, malignant pleural effusion, pulmonary granuloma, and lichenoid keratosis. Conclusions The main AEs of ipilimumab are diarrhea, colitis, rash, etc. In addition, ipilimumab might cause adverse reactions such as intracranial tumor hemorrhage, radiation necrosis, and malignant pleural effusion that are not recorded in label, which should be vigilant in clinical practice.

    Objective To explore the causes of medical disputes related to drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Methods The Excel data sheet of drug-related medical disputes provided by the Beijing Municipal People′s Mediation Committee for Medical Disputes were searched and data on solved cases of DILI-related medical disputes from 2013 to 2019 were collected. The distribution characteristics, related drugs, and causes of disputes in these cases were analyzed retrospectively. Results A total of 30 cases of DILI-related medical disputes were entered. Among the 30 patients, 23 (76.7%) were female and 7 (23.3%) were male, the age ranged from 3 months to 66 years, and the median age was 37 years; 25 (83.3%) were outpatients and 5 (16.7%) were inpatients. The drugs causing liver injury were traditional Chinese medicine (decoction and/or Chinese patent drugs) in 20 patients (66.7%), western medicine in 6 patients (20.0%), traditional Chinese medicine combined with western medicine in 4 patients (13.3%). Among the hospitals involved, tertiary hospitals accounted for 80.0% (24/30) and specialized hospitals of traditional Chinese medicine accounted for 60.0% (18/30). Of the 30 cases, 19 (63.3%) were judged to be the responsibility of the hospitals and the causes of liver injury were medication defects/errors, in which 17 cases (89.5%) were the responsibility of doctors and 2 cases (10.5%) were of nurses. The main problems were lack of inquiry before medication, lack of monitoring during treatment, illegal prescription, and overdosage due to negligence. Conclusion DILI-related medical disputes often occur in outpatient department, most of the drugs involved were traditional Chinese medicine, which may be related to the lack of understanding of hepatotoxi- city of traditional Chinese medicine in physicians (especially physicians in specialized hospitals of traditional Chinese medicine) and the neglect of management for Chinese medicine prescriptions.

    Hyperprolactinemia is a common adverse effect of antipsychotic drugs. The clinical presentations of hyperprolactinemia are gynecomastia in men, and breast distending pain, galactorrhea, menstrual disturbance, sexual dysfunction, osteoporosis, and metabolic disturbance in women. The incidence of hyperprolactinemia is 25%-89%. The factors related to antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia are gender, age, the type of antipsychotic drugs and dosage. The mechanism of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia may be related to blockade of dopamine D2 receptors on the anterior pituitary by antipsychotic drugs and reduction of dopamine inhibitory effect on prolactin secretion of prolactin cells, leading to prolactin elevation. Antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia should be distinguished from hyperprolactinemia due to severe stress, depressive state, pregnancy, hypothyroidism, renal failure, pituitary tumor and ovarian disease. The treatment of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia includes discontinuing antipsychotic drugs, reducing antipsychotic drugs dosage, switching to a prolactin-sparing agent, prescribing a dopamine receptor agonist or Chinese herbal medicines, and using low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation.

    A 51-year-old male patient received an operation treatment for paranasal sinusitis induced by radiotherapy and chemotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. One oxycodone and acetaminophen tablet (each tablet contains oxycodone hydrochloride 5-mg and acetaminophen 325-mg) was given orally thrice daily before and after the operation. Pregabalin 75-mg twice daily was added because of the poor analgesic effectiveness. During the treatment, oral oxycodone hydrochloride 10-mg was given once daily by his family members for 2 days. Two days after the addition of pregabalin, the patient developed mental disorders, such as delirium, irritability, involuntary convulsions of limbs, cognitive impairment, and disorientation. All above-mentioned analgesics were discontinued and dexmedetomidine was given for pain relief and sedation. Three days later, the mental state of the patient was improved, there was no obvious delirium, the discrimination and orientation returned to normal, and dexmetomidine was discontinued. There was an obvious time correlation between the occurrence and disappearance of mental disorders and the combination of analgesic drugs. Referring to the previous literature, it was considered that the mental disorders of the patient were caused by the interaction between oxycodone and pregabalin.

    Vaccines have made great contributions to the prevention of infectious diseases, but vaccine hesitancy is widespread in the world. The reasons for vaccine hesitancy are complex, but the main reasons are the lack of public awareness of vaccine-preventable diseases and the lack of confidence in vaccine effectiveness and safety. In the context of the continuous spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, boosting public confidence and ensuring the orderly development of the vaccination work of COVID-19 vaccines and conventional vaccines are necessary to curb the resurgence of the COVID-19 epidemic and prevent the outbreak of various infectious diseases in China. Under the current situation, the main measures to deal with vaccine hesitancy are to play the role of health care institutions, improve public health literacy, normalize the public opinion orientation of the media platform, strengthen the supervision of vaccine clinical research and production, and do a good job in surveillance and compensation for adverse events following immunization.

Patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group and the clinical data were compared between the 2 groups. The risk factors of AKI in patients with severe drug eruption were analyzed by a binary logistic regression model and the odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Results A total of 91 patients were enrolled in the study, including 50 males and 41 females, aged 54 (40, 65) years with a range of 9-85 years. The drugs that induced severe drug eruptions were allopurinol in 48 patients, antiepileptic drugs in 23 patients, antibacterial drugs in 6 patients, and other drugs in 14 patients. There were 21 patients (AKI incidence: 23.1%) in the AKI group and 70 patients in the non-AKI group. The proportion of patients sensitized to antiepileptic drugs, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate, levels of serum albumin and hemoglobin in the AKI group were lower than those in the non-AKI group [0(0/21) vs. 32.9% (23/70), (70±12) ml/(min·1.73 m2) vs. (103±6) ml/(min·1.73 m2), 26(23, 30) g/L vs. 36(34, 38) g/L, (116±17) g/L vs. (129±15) g/L], the proportions of patients sensitized to allopurinol, with diabetes mellitus, and with chronic kidney diseases, baseline serum urea nitrogen level, serum creatinine level, and proportion of urinary albumin positive patients were all higher than those in the non-AKI group [81.0%(17/21) vs. 44.3%(31/70), 28.6%(6/21) vs. 7.1%(5/70), 28.6%(6/21) vs. 5.7%(4/70), 7.2(4.6, 12.2) mmol/L vs. 5.0(3.8,6.4)mmol/L, 103(63, 134)μmol/L vs. 67(56, 79)μmol/L, 47.6%(10/21) vs. 17.1%(12/70)], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that allopurinol sensitization (OR=6.588, 95%CI: 1.006-43.123, P=0.049) was the independent risk factor for AKI in patients with severe drug eruption and serum albumin (OR=0.595, 95%CI: 0.471-0.752, P<0.001) was a protective factor. Conclusions Allopurinol sensitization was the independent risk factor for AKI in patients with severe drug eruption. Patients with low serum albumin were more likely to develop AKI.

    Objective To analyze and evaluate the enhancement of anticoagulant effect of warfarin by herbal and dietary supplements (HDS) based on case report literature. Methods The case reports on enhancement of anticoagulant effect of warfarin by HDS were selected by searching the relevant databases at home and abroad (up to October 10, 2021). The degree of enhancement of anticoagulant effect of warfarin by HDS was evaluated according to the increase of International Standardized Ratio and the occurrence of bleeding events in patients in the case reports. The reliability scoring standard of HDS-warfarin interaction was established according to the causatity evaluation results between HDS and enhancement of anticoagulant effect of warfarin, the number of case reports, and the other evidences (warnings issued by relevant national institutions, clinical studies, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies, experimental animal studies, etc.) and the reliability of enhancement of anticoagulation effects of warfarin by HDS was evaluated. The reliability was evaluated as highly, relatively, possible, and suspicious reliable if the total score was ≥9, 6-8, 3-5, and
    ≤2 points, respectively. Results A total of 41 case reports were enrolled in the analysis, involving 56 patients and 26 kinds of HDS. Five kinds of HDS increased the anticoagulant effect of warfarin slightly, including Chinese angelica (Radix Angelicae Sinensis), melilotus extract tablets, pumpkin seed, fish oil, and milk thistle; 6 kinds of HDS increased the anticoagulant effect of warfarin moderately, including ginger (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens), mango, bee pollen, scarponon grape, Persian walnut, and grifola frondosa; and 15 kinds of HDS increased the anticoagulant effect of warfarin severely, including cranberry, danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza), glycyrrhiza (Radix Glycyrrhizae), safflower (Flos Carthami), dandelion (Herba Taraxaci), Lyciumbar barum L., grapefruit, matricaria chamomilla, pomegranate juice, astaxanthin, Artemisia absinthiu, royal jelly, bilberry(Vaccinium vitis-idaea), red dates, and St. John′s wort (Hypericum perforatum L.). The reliability of enhancement of anticoagulant effect of warfarin was evaluated as highly reliable in 1 kind of HDS, namely cranberry (11 points), relatively reliable in 8 kinds of HDS, including danshen, glycyrrhiza, safflower, dandelion, Lycium barbarum L., grapefruit, matricaria chamomilla, and pomegranate juice (8, 7, 7, 7, 6, 6, and 6 points, respectively), possibly reliable in 12 kinds of HDS, including Chinese angelica, ginger, melilotus extract tablets, mango, astaxanthin capsules, bee pollen, Artemisia absinthium, royal jelly, scarponon grape, Persian walnut, bilberry, and grifola frondosa (5, 5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, and 3 points, respectively), and suspicious reliable in 5 kinds of HDS, including pumpkin seed, red dates, fish oil, milk thistle, and St. John′s wort (2, 2, 2, 0, and -1 points, respectively). Conclusions The degree and reliability of enhancement of anticoagulant effect of warfarin by cranberry, danshen, glycyrrhiza, safflower, dandelion, Lycium barbarum L, grapefruit, matricaria chamomilla, and pomegranate juice are higher, which should be avoided during warfarin therapy.

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of immune checkpoint inhibitor- related pneumonitis (CIP) caused by pembrolizumab. Methods We reported a case of CIP caused by pembro- lizumab admitted in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and searched case reports on CIP caused by pembrolizumab in PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang databases (as of October 1, 2019). The main clinical data (gender, age, primary diseases, use of pembrolizumab, combination drugs, time to onset of CIP, symptoms, imaging results, CIP grade, and treatment and outcome) in all reported cases were collected and analyzed. Results A total of 33 patients were enrolled, including 23 males and 10 females, aged from 44 to 91 years with a median age of 64 years. The primary diseases in 11 cases were melanoma, in 9 cases were lung adenocarcinoma, in 4 cases were lymphoma, in 3 cases were colon cancer, and in 6 patients were esophageal cancer, breast cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma, pulmonary large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, and lung squamous cell cancer, respectively. Thirty patients received pembrolizumab as monotherapy, 1 patient received combination therapy of pembrolizumab with carboplatin and pemetrexed, and 2 patients received pembrolizumab combined with radiation therapy. Time to onset of CIP in the 33 patients was 1 day at the shortest and 2 years at the longest with a median time of 12(4, 16) weeks. The symptoms of CIP mainly were dyspnea in 19 cases, cough and expectoration in 15 cases, and fever in 9 cases. The common radiological features were ground glass opacities in 17 cases, consolidations in 11 cases, and grid-like high-density shadow in 8 cases. After the diagnosis of CIP, all patients stopped using pembrolizumab. Twenty-nine patients were treated with glucocorticoids, 19 patients received antibacterial therapy, 2 patients received human immunoglobulin, 1 patient received infliximab, and 2 patients did not receive any intervention. Of the 30 patients with known clinical outcomes, 24 patients were improved and 6 died. Among the improved patients, 6 patients underwent rechallenge with pembrolizumab and 1 of them developed CIP again. Conclusions The clinical symptoms and radiologic features of CIP caused by pembrolizumab are lack of specificity. Constant vigilance for the presences of fever and respiratory symptoms within 12 weeks after pembrolizumab treatment is required. The CIP in most patients can be improved after drug withdrawal and additional use of glucocorticoids, but the potential fatal risk of CIP is still need to be alert to.

    Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of pemphigoid caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Methods The relevant databases at home and abroad (up to October 15, 2021) were searched and the case reports on pemphigoid caused by ICIs were collected. The relevant information of patients (gender, age, tumor type, drug varieties of ICIs, incubation period of pemphigoid, main symptoms, distribution site of lesions, biopsy and immunological examination, treatment and outcome, etc.) were collected and analyzed descriptively. Results A total of 82 relevant literature were included, involving 103 patients, 72 males and 31 females, aged 30-90 years, of which 82 (79.6%) were ≥60 years old. The primary diseases were melanoma in 45 cases (43.7%) and lung cancer in 29 cases (28.2%). The 103 patients involved 6 varieties of ICI, including programmed cell death 1 receptors [pablizumab (47 cases, 45.6%), navulizumab (44 cases, 42.7%), and terepril (4 cases, 3.9%)], and programmed cell death ligand 1 inhibitors [atezumab (3 cases, 2.9%), duvalizumab (2 cases, 1.9%)], and CTLA-4 inhibitor ipimamab (3 cases, 2.9%). Eighty-four patients had a record of the time from the beginning of ICI to the occurrence (incubation period) of pemphigoid. The incubation period of pabolizumab was 3-850 days, of navulizumab was 21-790 days, and of terepril was 70-728 days. Among 103 patients, 88 (85.4%) were bullous pemphigoid, 8 (7.8%) were mucous pemphigoid, 4 (3.9%) were non bullous pemphigoid, and 1 (1.0%) was dyshidrosiform pemphigoid; the clinical manifestations were bullous and vesicular lesions in 98 cases (95.1%), rash in 51 cases (49.5%), and pruritus in 48 cases (45.6%). Nine four patients had skin biopsy results, 78 patients (83.0%) had eosinophil infiltration in the lesion site; immunological examination was performed in 92 cases (97.8%), of which 63 cases (68.5%) were IgG and C3 deposits. Thirty-five patients had pemphigoid associated antigen test records, BP180 was detected in 25 patients, and 24 patients (96%) were positive; BP180 and BP 230 were detected simultaneously in 8 cases, both were positive in 6 cases, and BP180 was positive and BP 230 was negative in the other 2 cases; BP-Ag2 was detected in 2 cases, all of them were positive. After treatment with glucocorticoid or immunosuppressant and/or withdrawal of ICIs, 86 (83.5%) of 103 patients were improved, and 6 were not; 8 cases died, of which 7 cases of pemphigoid were improved but died of other causes, and 1 case died of unreported causes; 9 cases did not report the outcome. Conclusions ICIs can cause pemphigoid, and the incidence in the elderly is higher. The incubation period of pemphigoid varies from 3 days to more than 2 years. After glucocorticoid or immunosuppressant treatment and/or withdrawal of ICIs, most patients had good prognosis.

    Objective To mine the risk signals of baloxavir marboxil-related adverse events (AEs) and provide reference for rational use in clinical practice. Methods The report odds ratio (ROR) and proportional reporting ratio (PRR) methods were used to mine the risk signals of baloxavir marboxil-related AEs in the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from the 1st quarter of 2018 to the 4th quarter of 2022. The AE with reports ≥3 and 95% confidence interval (CI) lower limit of ROR or PRR>1 was defined as a risk signal. AEs were classified according to the system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) 25.1 for statistical analysis. Results A total of 1-102 AE reports were retrieved, involving 1-102 patients, and 498 were serious AE. A total of 45 AE risk signals were obtained by ROR and PRR methods. The top 10 PTs in signal intensity were febrile seizures, ischemic colitis, bacterial pneumonitis, anaphylaxis, hemorrhagic cystitis, erythema multiforme, melena, anaphylactic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and anaphylactic reaction. Of them, 26 PTs were not recorded in the labels, in which the top 10 PTs were febrile seizures, ischemic colitis, bacterial pneumonia, hemorrhagic cystitis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, altered mental status, fever, rhabdomyolysis, cyanosis, and facial paralysis. The top 5 SOCs that involved more PTs were nervous system disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory system diseases, psychiatric disorders, and blood and lymphatic system disorders. Among the 498-serious AEs, a total of 5 risk signals were mined, including infectious pneumonia, diarrhea, rhabdomyolysis, allergic reactions, and abnormal behavior. Conclusion The attention should be paid to AEs not mentioned in the drug label in clinical application of baloxavir marboxil, such as febrile seizures, bacterial pneumonia, ischemic colitis, and hemorrhagic cystitis.

    Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of fenofibrate combined with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) with poor biochemical response. Methods The medical records of early PBC patients who were diagnosed with poor biochemical response to UDCA and treated with fenofibrate in Outpatient Department of the Liver Research Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2010 to January 2018 were collected and analyzed retrospectively, so as to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination treatment. The combination treatment regimen consisted of fenofibrate and UDCA. The efficacy indicators were the efficacy rate and biochemical response rate. When the serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) decreased to below the baseline value before treatment after 12 months of combination therapy, it was  defined as effectiveness, and when it decreased to <1.5 times of upper limit of normal (ULN), the biochemical response was achieved. The safety indicator was the incidence of adverse reactions (liver injury, kidney injury, etc.) related to fenofibrate. Results A total of 42 patients were enrolled in the analysis, including 12 males and 30 females. The age was (53±10) years when fenofibrate was added and the duration of combination therapy was from 5 days to 34 months. The efficacy analysis of 34 patients with combined treatment showed that the average level of ALP decreased from the baseline value after 12 months of treatment, of which 10 patients (29.4%) fell to the reference value range, and the effective rate was 100%. The ALP was 235 (210, 326) U/L before treatment and decreased to 134 (104, 190) U/L after 12 months of treatment, with a statistically significant difference (P=0.001). Of the 34 patients, 25 (73.5%) achieved biochemical response. The ALP before treatment was 221 (198, 256) U/L and decreased to 125 (99, 143) U/L after 12 months of treatment, with a statistically significant difference (P=0.010). Of the 42 patients, 16 (38.1%) developed adverse reactions related to fenofibrate, including liver injury in 8 patients (19.0%, one case was complicated with hearthurn), kidney injury in 4 patients (9.5%), myalgia, facial edema, heartburn, headache, and skin itch with rash in 1 patient each (each 2.3%). Of the 8 patients with liver injury, 4 were mild, 1 was moderate, and 3 were severe; the mild cases were not intervened, and the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) returned to the baseline level after 2 months; in moderate and severe cases, ALT and total bilirubin returned to the baseline level after stopping fenofibrate and receiving liver protection treatment. Of the 4 patients with renal injury, the serum creatinine (Scr) in 2 patients returned to the baseline level after withdrawal of fenofibrate, in the other 2 patients it recovered to the reference value range spontaneously without drug withdrawal. Conclusions Fenofibrate combination with UDCA is effective in the treatment of early PBC patients with poor biochemical response, the rate of biochemical response is 73.5%. The common adverse reactions of fenofibrate are liver injury and kidney injury. During the medication, the patients′ liver and kidney function should be closely monitored.

    In 2024, a total of 27 309 cases of medication error (ME) from 484 hospitals in 27 provincial administrative regions were collected in the National Monitoring Network for Clinical Safe Medication. Among them, 279 (1.02%) were classified as grade A, 22 081 (80.86%) as grade B, 4 268 (15.63%) as grade C, 472 (1.73%) as grade D, 96 (0.35%) as grade E, 105 (0.38%) as grade F, 6 (0.02%) as grade H, and 2 (<0.01%) as grade I; no MEs of grade G occurred. Among the 27 030 patients involved in MEs of grade B to I, 15 124 (55.95%) were male and 11 906 (44.05%) were female; their ages were from 1 day to 104 years; 3 369 (12.46%) were children (<18 years old), 12 113 (44.81%) were young and middle-aged adults (≥18 to <60 years old), and 11 548 (42.72%) were elderly (≥60 years old). The top 3 contents of ME were wrong drug class (5 347 cases, 19.13%), wrong dosage (4 913 cases, 17.58%), and wrong administration frequency (3 429 cases, 12.27%). Among the 27 030 grade B-I MEs, the main person who triggered the event were physicians (18 703 cases, 69.19%) and pharmacists (6 343 cases, 23.47%). These MEs mainly occurred in clinics (11 009 cases, 40.73%), in hospital wards (7 393 cases, 27.35%), and in pharmacies (6 219 cases, 23.27%). The main persons who discovered the MEs were pharmacists (21 021 cases, 74.14%). The top 3 factors causing ME were lack of related pharmacologic knowledge (8 716 cases, 26.49%), tiredness (5 755 cases, 17.49%), and inexperienced skills (4 505 cases, 13.69%). A total of 209 patients were involved in severe MEs (grade E-I), including 133 (63.64%) males and 76 (36.36%) females, aged from 21 months to 94 years, of which 42 (20.10%) were children, 75 (35.88%) were young and middle-aged adults, and 92 (44.02%) were elderly. The top 3 diseases diagnosed in severe MEs were drug poisoning (41 cases, 19.62%), diabetes (34 cases, 16.27%), and hypertension (14 cases, 6.70%); the main person who triggered the MEs were patients and their families (135 cases, 64.59%); the MEs occurred mainly in patients′ houses (116 cases, 55.50%). Drug poisoning was mainly related to accidental ingestion by children, and MEs in patients with diabetes and hypertension were often related to issues on patient compliance. Based on the data of MEs in 2024, it was proposed to establish a better medication safety culture and improve the ME reporting situation in China, pay attention to the risks of misusing external drugs for internal use, children′s accidental ingestion and insulin-related MEs, strengthen the prevention of MEs related to look-alike sound-alike drugs, pay attention to the post administration management and the compliance education of home care for patients with chronic diseases, so as to improve the medication safety of patients in China.

    Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of fatal cardiac adverse events associated with chloroquine, which was recommended for the antiviral treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia, and provide reference for clinical safe drug use. Methods The fatal cardiac adverse events associated with chloroquine were searched from the World Health Organization global database of individual case safety reports (VigiBase). The clinical characteristics of the individual cases with well-documented reports (VigiGrade completeness score ≥0.80 or with detailed original reports) were analyzed. The adverse events were coded using the systematic organ classification (SOC) and preferred term (PT) of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) version 22.1 of International Conference on Harmonization (ICH). Results Up to 23 February 2020, a total of 45 reports of fatal heart injuries related to chloroquine were reported in VigiBase, which were from 16 countries. Of them, 30 reports were fully informative. Among the 30 reports, 20 cases developed fatal cardiac adverse events after a single large dose of chloroquine. Of them, 17 cases′ fatal cardiac adverse events were caused by overdose of chloroquine (15 cases were suicide or suspected suicide, and 2 children took chloroquine by mistake); 3 cases′ fatal cardiac adverse events were caused in clinical treatment; 18 cases showed arrhythmia and cardiac arrest; 6 cases showed prolonged QRS wave or QT interval; 6 cases were with hypokalemia, including 4 severe ones. Among the 30 reports, 10 cases deve- loped fatal cardiac adverse events after multiple administration of chloroquine, of which 4 cases were treated with chloroquine for 23 days to 2 months and died of heart failure, cardiac arrest or myocardial infarction; 6 cases were treated with chloroquine for 20 months to 29 years and all of them had cardiomyopathy, which were confirmed by endomyocardial biopsy to be caused by chloroquine in 3 cases. Conclusion Cardiac toxicity was the primary cause of fatal adverse events caused by chloroquine; the main manifestation of single large dose of chloroquine was arrhythmia and the manifestation of multiple administration was cardiomyo- pathy.

    Objective To understand the usage status of high-alert medicines (HAM) for children in outpatient and emergency prescriptions and inpatient medication orders at department of pediatric. Methods All outpatient and emergency prescriptions and inpatient medication orders in patients with an age of <18 years between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2018 in Huairou Maternal and Child Health Hospital Affiliated to Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University were collected. According to the List of High-Alert Medications for the Chinese Children, the use of HAM for children in prescriptions and medication orders was analyzed retrospectively. Results A total of 297-968 prescriptions and medication orders were collected in the study, including 270-024 outpatient and emergency prescriptions (90.62%) and 27-944 inpatient medication orders (9.38%). There were 162-521 prescriptions (54.54%) involving male children and 135-447 (45.46%) involving female children with an age of (4±3) years, ranged 0-17 years. The number of drugs included in each prescription was (2±1), ranged 1-9. Of the 297-968 prescriptions and medication orders, 23-476 (7.88%) involved HAM for children. The proportion of prescriptions containing HAM for children in outpatient and emergency prescriptions was significantly higher than that in inpatient medication orders [7.92% (21-381/270-024) vs. 7.50% (2-095/27-944), P=0.013]; the proportion of prescriptions and medication orders containing HAM for children in Surgery Department [32.84% (1-220/3-715)] was significantly higher than that in Medicine Department [8.17% (22-043/269-777)] and other departments [0.87% (213/24-476)], and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.001). The 23-476 prescriptions involved 13 categories and 42 kinds of HAM for children and the total frequency of HAM for children was 26-084. The top 3 drug categories that most frequently used were traditional Chinese medicine injections (8-694, 33.33%), antipyretic analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs (7-505, 28.77%), and anti-infective drugs (4-011, 15.38%); the top 10 HAM for children that most frequently used were paracetamol, Yanhuning injection (炎琥宁注射液), Xiyanping injection (喜炎平注射液), vitamin K1, vidarabine, tetanus antitoxin, penicillins, phenobarbital, promethazine injections, and heparin. Adverse events occurred in 9 children due to medication errors of HAM for children, which were all grade E, and the drugs involved were Xiyanping injection, paracetamol, and vitamin K1 injection. Conclusions HAM for children was commonly used, among which the traditional Chinese medicine injection-related HAM was used more, and the proportion of prescriptions containing HAM for children was higher in departments of outpatient, emergency, and surgery. Medication errors related to HAM for children may lead to serious adverse events, so the management of HAM for children should be strengthened.

    A 63-year-old male patient with hepatocellular carcinoma received sintilimab (200-mg by IV infusion on day 1, 21 days as one cycle) after surgery. After 3 cycles of treatment, the patient developed unclear speech, mental fatigue, drowsiness, and weight loss. Laboratory tests showed triiodothyronine (T3) 0.54-nmol/L, thyroxine (T4) 13.0-nmol/L, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) 98.62 mU/L, free triiodothyronine (FT3) 0.43-pmol/ml, free thyroxine (FT4) 0.25-pmol/L, cortisol (Cor) (8:00) 6.1-nmol/L, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (8:00) 0.22-pmol/L/L. He was diagnosed as having immune-related hypothyroidism and adrenal cortex hypofunction, which was caused by sintilimab. After 4 days of treatments with glucocorticoid, the above symptoms in the patient were improved, and levothyroxine was given. The dosage of glucocorticoids given to patients was gradually reduced.After 11 days of treatments with levothyroxine, the laboratory tests showed that the thyroid function returned to normal, and levothyroxine was stopped. Adrenal cortex function was still lower than normal [Cor (8:00) 51.6-nmol/L,ACTH (8:00) 0.22-pmol/L]. Then prednisone acetate tablets 5-mg once daily orally were given continuously. At 8 months of follow-up, the adrenal cortex function in the patient remained low, and sintilimab was stopped forever.

    A 67-year-old male patient with small cell lung cancer was given chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy (irinotecan+nedaplatin+tislelizumab), 21 days as a cycle. The patient′s cough was significantly improved without blood in sputum. After 2 cycles of treatment, chemotherapy and immunotherapy were suspended because of grade Ⅳ bone marrow suppression, and radiation therapy was changed. After the 29th radiotherapy, the patient developed paroxysmal cough and sputum with bloody, accompanied by shortness of breath and no fever. Blood gas analysis showed type Ⅰ respiratory failure. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed new pleural reticular vague shadows in both lungs, especially in the right lung. Radiotherapy was stopped and chemotherapy was restarted. The patient's cough and expectoration were improved, but the shortness of breath gradually aggravated. The interstitial pneumonia lesions involved both lungs rather than being localized, by which radiation pneumonitis were ruled out. Virus and atypical pathogen infection were excluded by etiology and imaging examination. Immune-related pneumoniatis complicated with infection caused by tislelizumab was considered. High-dose methylpre- dnisolone combined with gamma globulin and infliximab were given to inhibit immune response, mero- penem, moxifloxacin, voriconazole were given successively to prevent infection, and oxygen inhalation was given. The patient′s cough, expectoration, and shortness of breath disappeared, oxygenation index was improved, and chest CT showed that the range of interstitial changes in both lungs gradually reduced.

    Objective To understand the clinical characteristics of risperidone-induced rhabdomyolysis (RM). Methods Risperidone-related RM case reports were collected by searching relevant databases at home and abroad as of February 2021, and the patients′ general conditions, disease conditions, medication use, RM occurrence [time of occurrence, clinical symptoms, and serum creatine kinase (CK) level, etc.], and treatment and outcome were recorded and descriptively analyzed. Results A total of 16 patients were collected, including 14 males and 2 females, with age of 13-76 years. The primary diseases were schizophrenia in 11 patients, psychomotor agitation, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depressive syndrome with psychotic symptoms, depressive symptom cluster, and suspected psychotic symptoms in 1 case each. Among the 16 patients, 2 were treated with risperidone alone, and 14 were treated with risperidone combined with other drugs (6, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 1 with other antipsychotics, sedatives, antidepressants, statins, anticho- linergics, and cyclosporine, respectively, and 3, 7, 1, and 3 cases with 1, 2, 3, and 4 combination drugs, respectively). Except that the medication method was not described in 2 cases, risperidone was orally adminis- tered in 13 cases and injected in 1 case. Thirteen patients with oral risperidone had dosage descriptions, of which 12 cases′ dose met the requirements of the drug labels, and 1 case took risperidone 96-mg due to severe hallucinations induced by drug withdrawal after taking the drug with routine dose for 5 years. In addition to the patient with overdose of risperidone, the occurrence time of RM was described in 14 cases, which was 4 days to 2 years after risperidone, and 10 cases occurred within 4 to 15 days after risperidone use. The main clinical symptoms were muscle pain (10 cases), acute liver injury (8 cases), acute kidney injury (5 cases), muscle weakness (4 cases), fever (3 cases), tachycardia (3 cases), and acute tendon intermembrane space syndrome (3 cases). The CK level was 4-587 to 928-961-U/L with a median level of 27-355-U/L in the 16 patients with RM, and it was>15-000-U/L in 10 cases (62.5%). After RM occurred, risperidone was discontinued in 13 patients, continued in 2 patients, and used at reduced dose in 1 patient; 8 patients received hydration therapy, 3 received hemodialysis, 1 received organ support therapy, and 3 with acute compartment syndrome (ACS) were treated with fasciotomy. All 16 patients′ symptoms disappeared and CK levels returned to normal. Among them, the specific time of recovery were described in 12 patients. The time of symptom disappea- rance was 2-12 months and the time of CK level recovery was 7-56 days. Conclusions Risperidone-related RM mostly occurs within 4-15 days after exposure to risperidone, which is mostly related to the combination with other drugs. The elevation of CK level is usually severe, which can be complicated by ACS. Symptoms could return to normal after risperidone was discontinued and/or symptomatic treatments are given.

    A 49-year-old male patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy received long term use of retaglinide thrice daily orally, 1-mg in the morning, 2-mg in the afternoon and 1-mg in the evening. Because of the sudden acute cerebral infarction, clopidogrel was added, on the 4th day of the medication, the fasting blood glucose in the patient decreased to 2.6-mmol/L. It was considered that the interaction of clopidogrel and repaglinide caused the increase of repaglinide plasma concentration, which resulted in severe hypoglycemia in the patient. Clinical pharmacist suggested stopping repaglinide and using insulin. The physician reduced the dosage of repaglinide to twice daily, 1-mg in the morning and 0.5-mg in the afternoon, and after 3 days the patient′s fasting blood glucose fluctuated between 4.0 and 4.5-mmol/L. Since the patient had diabetes nephropathy and renal insufficiency, which might increase the risk of hypoglycemia, repaglinide was stopped, and insulin glutamine 3 U was injected subcutaneously before meals, at the same time blood glucose was closely monitored. Fasting blood glucose fluctuated between 4.9 and 5.4-mmol/L after insulin treatment.

    Enteral nutrition (EN) is defined as the administration of a nutrient solution orally or by means of a feeding tube with the purpose of contributing the supply of all or part of the body's nutrient requirements. EN preparations can be classified into three types: elemental type, non-elemental type, and module type. EN is usually given with feeding tube. Non-invasive tube includes nasogastric tube and nasointestinal tube, and invasive tube includes gastrostomy tube and enterostomy tube. Indications for EN include radical surgery in patients with upper alimentary tract or upper respiratory tract, tracheal intubation, esophageal stenosis, dysphagia, anorexia nervosa, largescale burning or trauma. Although considered safer than parenteral nutrition, enteral feeding is not of without complications. The common complications of EN were as follows: (1) mechanical complications such as obstructions of the feeding tube; (2) gastrointestinal complications are abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and they can be reduced or avoided by using gastrointestinal pump or nasointestinal tube, reducing infusion speed, increasing nutrient solution temperature, and using gastrointestinal prokinetic drugs; (3) metabolic complications are mainly hyperglycaemia, and it can be treated with insulin; (4) infectious complications are mainly inhalation pneumonia caused by inhaling nutrient solution or regurgitation into the lungs presenting with sudden dyspnea, fever, increased heart rate. Attention should be paid to its gastric retention.

    Accumulation of drugs and its metabolites in the body occurs and risks of adverse drugreactions increase in renal insufficiency patients due to the renal function decline or delay of renal excretionand the pharmacokinetic changes related to the decline of renal function. Therefore, the dose of anticancerdrugs should be adjusted in tumor patients with renal dysfunction. The Japanese Society of Nephrology,JapanSociety of Clinical Oncology,Japanese Society ofMedical Oncology,and Japanese Society of Nephrologyand Pharmacotherapy have jointly formulated Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Kidney Injury During Anticancer Drug Therapy 2022, and specifically discusses the dose adjustment of anticancer drug forpatients with renal injury in the second chapter. This article focuses on the interpretation of the principle ofdrug dose adjustment for patients with renal insufficiency and suggestions for dose adjustment of platinumdrugs and fluorouracil drugs in this chapter.

    A 56-year-old male patient with tuberculosis complicated by infection did not get better after treatment with moxifloxacin combined with rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide. The invasive pulmonary aspergillosis was diagnosed by bronchoalveolar lavage fluid culture and detection of 1,3-beta-D-glucan, galactomannan antigen, and Aspergillus antibody. Moxifloxacin and anti-tuberculosis drugs were discontinued and an IV infusion of voriconazole (the dose was 300-mg once per 12-hours on the first day, the maintenance dose was 150-mg once per 12-hours) was given. On the 5th day of medication, the plasma concentration of voriconazole was zero. The consultation pharmacist considered that the voriconazole plasma concentration was related to rifampicin. The next day, the dose of voriconazole was adjusted to 200-mg once per 12-hours. Two days later, the plasma concentration of voriconazole was 1.3-mg/L. The patient′s cough and expectoration were relieved, but he still repeatedly developed high fever. On the 9th day of increase of voriconazole dose, intravenous infusion of methylprednisolone 40-mg once daily was given because connective tissue disease could not be excluded by consulting rheumatologists. The patient′s temperature returned to normal the next day and the plasma concentration of voriconazole was 3.0-mg/L. Clinical pharmacists and physicians reviewed the literature and reached a consensus: the induction effect of rifampicin on drug metabolizing enzymes in the body can last for 7-10 days or even longer after discontinuation of the drug, the monitoring of plasma concentration of voriconazole should be strengthened in patients treated with rifampicin sequential voriconazole, and the dose of voriconazole should be adjusted according to the plasma concentration until the induction effect of rifampicin on drug metabolizing enzymes completely disappears and the plasma concentration of voriconazole reaches a steady state.

    Ricin derived from castor beans is a potent toxin, the main machanism of its toxic effects to cells is to inhibit protein synthesis in cells and result in their death. People can be poisoned via different routes of exposure to ricin. The clinical presentations of ricin poisoning depend on the route of exposure and the dose received. The patients with severe ricin poisoning may develop multi-organ failure and death. So for no specific antidote exists for ricin. The toxin vaccine of ricin is being tried out on laboratory animal. Treatment for ricin poisoning is primarily supportive medical care to minimize the effects of the poisoning.

    Minocycline is a semi-synthetic tetracycline antibiotic. In recent years, minocycline has been used in the treatment of chronic infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria and chronic diseases such as pemphigus and rheumatoid arthritis due to its lower incidence of bacterial resistance and good antibacterial effect. Long term use of oral minocycline can cause skin hyperpigmentation. According to the location, clinical features, and histopathological changes, minocycline-induced skin hyperpigmentation (MISH) is divided into 4 subtypes, but the definition of subtype 4 remains controversial. The incidence of MISH varies greatly in different studies, which may be closely related to factors such as patients′ underlying pathophysiological status, comorbid diseases, dose, and duration of treatment. For those patients who need to take minocycline for a long time, skin color should be observed. Once skin color changes were found, relevant examinations (e.g. skin biopsy) should be carried out in time to make a definite diagnosis as soon as possible. Patients with MISH should pay attention to sun protection. Reducing the dose or stopping minocycline is an effective strategy to improve MISH. Q-switched laser or picosecond laser is recommended to treat pigmentation which can not be recovered after drug withdrawal.

    Oxaliplatin (OXA) is the third‑generation platinum antineoplastic agents, mainly used in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a common and serious adverse reaction of OXA. The main clinical manifestations are splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, abnormal liver function, and portal hypertension. The mechanism is closely related to OXA‑induced oxidative stress and inflammatory reactionsin the liver, which lead to injury of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells, and then lead to platelet aggregation and vascular obstruction in hepatic sinusoids. The occurrence of SOS is related to the accumulated dose and the treatment cycle of OXA. Splenomegaly is an independent predictor of OXA‑related SOS. Thrombocytopenia, elevated serum hyaluronic acid and aspartate aminotrans- ferase‑to‑platelet ratio index can also predict the occurrence of SOS. OXA should be used with caution in patients with chronic liver disease, especially in those with portal hypertension. Special attention should be paid to the occurrence of SOS during OXA treatment. For patients with symptoms of suspicious SOS, imaging examination should be performed in time. Early diagnosis and timely withdrawal of drugs are bene- ficial for the reversal of liver fibrosis, and the prognosis of patients with severe fibrosis is poor.

    A 64-year-old male patient with colon cancer received one cycle chemotherapy of oxaliplatin+capecitabine and 7 cycles of oxaliplatin+raltitrexed chemotherapy. There were no interstitial changes in chest CT before operation. After 8 cycles of chemotherapy, the patient deve- loped chest tightness and shortness of breath. Chest CT showed interstitial changes in bilateral lungs, which were considered to be related to oxaliplatin. After 31 days of treatments with drugs such as broad-spectrum antibiotics, glucocorticoids, acetylcysteine, and reduced glutathione, as well as noninvasive ventilator assisted ventilation, oxygen inhalation, and other symptomatic treatments, his symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath were relieved, and chest CT showed that interstitial lesions in the bilateral lungs were obviously relieved.

    The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in China is rising year by year. Insulin is one of the important treatment means. However, insulin therapy still faced with the challenges of delayed initiation and intensive treatment, resulting in poor clinical blood glucose control. The potential risks of hypoglycemia, glycemic variability, treatment compliance, and other problems in insulin therapy make difficulties in clinic. Compared with currently used insulin, new insulin analogues have characteristics of longer action time and more stable pharmacokinetic/pharmacokinetic features, and can improve the safety of insulin treatment, glycemic variability, and patients′ treatment willingness and compliance in clinical application, thus provide good treatment options for safe, convenient, and stable control of blood glucose in diabetes patients.

    A 41-year-old female patient received long-term treatment with metformin, glimepiride, sitagliptin, and acarbose for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Due to elevated blood-glucose, the hypoglycemic regimen was adjusted to metformin, acarbose, and dulaglutide (1.5-mg, subcutaneously injected once a week). After each injection of dulaglutide, the patient had severe anorexia but no intervention was given because that the patient could tolerate. Empagliflozin 10-mg orally once daily were added 3 days after the first injection and then the dose was adjusted to 10-mg next day. The day after the fourth injection, the patient developed dizziness, nausea, vomiting, general fatigue, etc. Laboratory tests showed blood glucose 20-mmol/L, arterial blood pH 7.22, partial pressure of carbon dioxide 22.1-mmHg, bicarbonate concentration 8.8-mmol/L, standard bicarbonate 12-mmol/L, total carbon dioxide content 10-mmol/L, ketone body in urine (+++), and urine sugar (++++). Diabetic ketoacidosis was diagnosed. Considering that severe anorexia after the application of dulaglutide caused serious insufficient carbohydrate intake and then empagliflozin- induced diabetic ketoacidosis was stimulated, the 2 drugs were discontinued and symptomatic and supportive treatments were given. Five days later, laboratory tests showed post-lunch blood glucose 10.1-mmol/L, ketone body in urine (+), negative urine sugar, and urine pH 5.5. Empagliflozin 5-mg once daily was added and laboratory tests showed carbon dioxide binding capacity of the blood 23.2-mmol/L, urine ketones (+++), urine sugar (++++), and uric acidity 5.0 four days later. The patient insisted on leaving the hospital. After discharge, she was treated with recombinant insulin glargine, acarbose, and empagliflozin. At 1 month of follow-up, symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis did not recur.

    Objective To understand the problems of data mining in adverse drug reaction (ADR)/adverse event (AE) signal detection study in China. Methods The literature on ADR/AE signal detection study in SinoMed, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were retrieved (up to May 30, 2022). The relevant content of the data mining in the literature was investiagted and evaluated from the following 4 dimensions and 9 items: (1) background data, including 1 item; (2) data preprocessing, including 4 items such as drug mapping, AE mapping, missing value processing, and data deduplication; (3) data mining algorithm (DMA), including 3 items such as DMA selection, DMA formula interpretation, and signal threshold; (4) interpretation of the results, including 1 item. According to the relevant specifications and technical requirements of data mining, the reporting/reporting error-free rate of the 4 dimensions and 9 items in the literature was taken as the overall quality evaluation index. Reporting/reporting error-free rate ≥60% was considered to be an excellent level of overall quality. Results A total of 165 articles were included. On the background data dimension, the reporting/reporting error-free rate of using all the other drug data of the entire database in the literature was 35.2% (58/165), which did not reach an excellent level. On the data preprocessing dimension, the reporting/reporting error-free rates of drug mapping, AE mapping, missing value processing, and data deduplication in the literature were 22.4% (37/165), 73.9% (122/165), 10.3% (17/165), and 55.2% (91/165), respectively. The reporting/reporting error-free rate on this dimension was 40.5% (267/660), which did not reach the excellent level, only the rate of AE mapping reached the excellent level. On the DMA dimension, the reporting/reporting error-free rates of ≥2 DMA, DMA formula interpretation, and signal threshold in the literature were 63.6% (105/165), 78.2% (129/165), and 87.9% (145/165), respectively. The reporting/reporting error-free rate on this dimension was 76.6% (379/495), which reached an excellent level. The reporting/reporting error-free rate was 87.4% (144/165), reaching an excellent level. The signals were interpreted as "positive" or "negative" signals in 7 articles, and the meaning of signals were interpreted as causality in 14 articles. The overall reporting/reporting error-free rate in the 165 literature, analyzed from 9 items on 4 dimensions, was 57.1% (848/1-485), which did not reach the excellent level. Conclusion The main problems in the domestic literature of ADR/AE signal detection study are the incomplete selection of background data and the lack of data preprocessing, suggesting that the further relevant studies in China should be improved on above 2 dimensions for better quality of ADR/AE signal detection research.

    Objective To establish the Chinese version of Medication Appropriateness Index (MAI) and evaluate the appropriateness of medication in elderly inpatients on trial. Methods According to Brislin′s translation model for cross-cultural research, the MAI was translated into Chinese through 4 steps: translation, back translation, cultural adaptation, and pre-survey. Using convenient sampling method, 300 elderly inpatients in the Department of Geriatrics, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from July to December 2019 were selected as the research subjects, and the Chinese version of MAI was used to evaluate the appropriateness of medication. Reliability of the Chinese version of MAI was evaluated using Cronbach′s α coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC); the content validity and structural validity of the Chinese version of MAI were evaluated using 4-level scoring method and exploratory factor analysis, respectively. The appropriateness of medication in 300 elderly inpatients was evaluated by analyzing the MAI scores and the distribution of irrational items. Results The Chinese version of MAI contained 10 items. The evaluation results of 300 elderly inpatients were statistically analyzed. The Cronbach′s α coefficient of the scale was 0.892 and the ICC of the scale was 0.876 when 20 patients were selected for re-testing 14 days later. The item-level content validity index (I-CVI) of the Chinese version of MAI was 0.86 to 1.00 and the scale-level content validity index/average (S-CVI/Ave) was 0.96. A total of 4 common factors were extracted by explo- ratory factor analysis, the cumulative variance contribution rate was 58.132%, and the factor loading of 8 items was more than 0.4. The evaluation results of appropriateness of medication showed that the average MAI score in 300 patients was 2.6, of which 198 patients did not score 0; inappropriate medication counted 66.00% and the average MAI score of each drug was 0.2. The top 3 items with more inappropriate medication were drug-disease/abnormal condition interaction (88 cases, 29.3%), duplication (69 cases, 23.0%), and incorrect dosage (67 cases, 22.3%). Conclusions The Chinese version of MAI had good reliability and validity. The items with more inappropriate medication in elderly inpatients in the Department of Geriatrics, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were mainly drug-disease/abnormal condition interaction, duplication, and incorrect dose.

    Objective To mine the risk signals of echinococcin antifungal drugs such as caspofungin-, micafungin-, and anidulafungin-related adverse events(AEs) and provide reference for their safe and rational use in clinical practice. Methods AE reports of caspofungin, micafungin and anidulafungin from January 1, 2004 to June 30, 2021 were collected by searching the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database. AEs were classified and standardized according to the system organ class (SOC) and the preferred terms (PT) of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 25.0. Reported odds ratio (ROR) method was used to mine the AE risk signals of above mentioned 3 drugs. An AE with reports ≥3 and 95% confidence interval (CI) lower limit of ROR>1 was defined as a positive signal. Results A total of 1-348 AE reports of caspofungin were collected, involving 73 PTs and 13 SOCs. The top 5 PTs in signal intensity were dilatation intrahepatic duct acquired, myoglobin urine present, retinitis, renal abscess, and hypoperfusion, all of which were new adverse reactions which were not recorded in the labels. A total of 837 AE reports of micafantine were collected, involving 39 PTs and 11 SOCs. The top 5 PTs in signal intensity were hepatoblastoma, leukaemoid reaction, blood creatine increase, acidosis, and skin necrosis all of which were new adverse reactions not recorded in the labels. A total of 202 AE reports of anidulafungin were collected, involving 22 PTs and 12 SOCs. The top 5 PTs in signal intensity were rectal obstruction, venous occlusive liver disease, anuria, supraventricular tachycardia, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Except the acute respiratory distress syndrome, the other adverse reactions were new adverse reactions not recorded in the labels. Conclusions The AEs of the 3 echinocandin antifungal drugs mined in this study are mostly new adverse reactions not recorded in the labels, involving liver and biliary system, blood and lymphatic system, kidney and urinary system diseases mainly, which should be vigilant in clinical practice.

    With the application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), the acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by ICIs has attracted increasingly extensive attention. The incidence of ICIs-induced AKI is 0.8%-29%, which can occur weeks or months after the first drug use or even after drug withdrawal. The typical renal histopathological features of AKI are acute tubulointerstitial nephritis, and glomerulopathy can also be seen. The risk factors include combined application of ICIs, the use of proton pump inhibitors, and having chronic kidney diseases, etc. After the diagnosis of AKI, it is necessary to decide whether to reduce the dose or stop using ICIs and start glucocorticoid treatment or add other immunosuppressive drugs accor- ding to the degree of disease and the specific situation of the patient. In case of level 3-4 AKI, ICIs shall be permanently discontinued.

    Objective To explore the occurrence and characteristics of adverse reactions related to bevacizumab (Bev) in treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods The medical records of NSCLC patients treated with Bev in the Respiratory Department of Bozhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from May 2019 to March 2021 were collected. Patients with Bev-related adverse reactions, which were judged by Naranjo scoring method, were selected. The relevant information in these patients was extracted from their medical records, and the occurrence and outcomes of the adverse reactions (incidence, time of occurrence, clinical manifestation, severity, etc.) were analyzed retrospectively. The dosing regimen of Bev was IV infusion of 7.5-mg/kg once per 21 days (1 cycle). Results A total of 142 patients were included in the analysis, and 17 (12.0%), 20 (14.1%), 51 (35.9%), 35 (24.6%), and 19 (13.4%) patients received 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 cycles of Bev treatment, respectively. All patients were treated with combination regimen with traditional chemotherapy drugs, including pemetrexed in 10 patients (7.0%), pemetrexed+carboplatin in 41 patients (28.9%), and pemetrexed+cisplatin in 91 (64.1%) patients, respectively. Among the 142 patients, 49 (34.5%) had adverse reactions, which were classified as grade 1, 2, 3, and 4 in severity in 18, 19, 6, 6 patients respectively, and the incidence of serious adverse reactions (≥ grade 3) was 8.5% (12/142). The clinical manifestations of adverse reactions included hematologic injury in 12 patients (8.5%; grade 1 in 4 and grade 2 in 8 patients), hypertension in 11 patients (7.7%; grade 1 in 4, grade 2 in 3, grade 3 in 2, and grade 4 in 2 patients), skin injury in 8 patients (5.6%; grade 2 in 5 and grade 3 in 3 patients), bleeding events in 6 patients (4.2%; grade 1 in 3, grade 3 in 1, and grade 4 in 2 patients), gastrointestinal reaction in 6 patients (4.2%; grade 1 in 3 and grade 2 in 3 patients), proteinuria in 3 patients (2.1%, grade 1), pulmonary embolism in 1 patient (0.7%, grade 4), gastric perforation in 1 patient (0.7%, grade 4), and alopecia in 1 patient (0.7%, grade 1). Bev was not discontinued in 37 patients who developed grade 1-2 adverse events, and 25 of them were given symptomatic treatments. Patients with grade ≥3 adverse reactions stopped Bev and received symptomatic treatments. All patients recovered or were improved. Conclusions The common adverse reactions in Bev treatment for NSCLC include hematologic injury, hypertension, skin injury, bleeding events, gastrointestinal reaction, and proteinuria, most of which are of grade 1-2 in severity. Severe adverse effects such as pulmonary embolism and gastric perforation occurred occasionally. Patients with grade ≥ 3 adverse reactions have a good prognosis when Bev is discontinued and symptomatic treatments are given.

    Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of pulmonary hypertension (PH) induced by dasatinib. Methods The relevant databases at home and abroad (as of December 31, 2020) were searched and the case reports on PH induced by dasatinib were collected. Clinical information including patient′s basic characteristics, dasatinib dose, occurrence time of PH, clinical manifestations, interventions, and outcomes were collected and analyzed by descriptive statistical method. Results A total of 25 patients from 24 case reports were enrolled in the study, including 16 males and 9 females, aged from 23 to 73 years with an average age of 50 years. There were 22 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and 3 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); the dose of dasatinib was 140-mg daily in 14 patients, 100-mg daily in 7 patients, 70-mg daily in 2 patients, and unknown in 2 patients. Time from dasatinib application to PH occurrence was 10 days to 144 months, with a median time of 37 months. The clinical symptoms included varying degrees of dyspnea in 24 patients, edema in 8 patients, hepatomegaly in 5 patients, jugular vein dilatation in 5 patients, cough in 3 patients,and chest tightness in 3 patients, chest pain in 2 patients, and fatigue in 1 patient. Pleural effusion and/or pericardial effusion were found in 20 patients by chest CT, chest X-ray or echocardiography. Cardiac function was graded as Ⅳ in 8 patients, Ⅲ in 9 patients, and Ⅱ in 4 patients according to WHO classification method, and the grade was unknown in 4 patients. Right cardiac catheterization and/or echocardiography showed elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure and/or systolic pulmonary artery pressure in 25 patients. Twenty-four patients stopped dasatinib following the doctor′s advice after the diagnosis of PH, of which 22 patients were treated with phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor, endothelin receptor antagonist, diuretic, and glucocorticoid, and the other 2 patients were not given special intervention; one patient took dasatinib intermittently by himself. Nineteen patients were switched to other tyrosine kinase inhibitors. After discontinuation of dasatinib and giving symptomatic treatments for 1 week to 36 months (mean 7 months), 17 patients were improved, 7 were partially improved, and 1 had unknown outcome. Conclusions Dasatinib-related PH was more common in patients with CML, occurred more in male patients, and had a median occurrence time of 37 months after drug administration. The main clinical manifestation was dyspnea, often complicated with pleural effusion or pericardial effusion. After dasatinib withdrawal and specific treatments, most patients could be improved.

    Objective To understand and analyze the occurrence of medication error (ME) on warfarin and their related factors in order to avoid or reduce adverse events. Methods All ME reports in the National Monitoring Network for Clinical Safe Medication (monitoring network) from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020 were collected and warfarin ME reports were selected. The grading and contents of warfarin MEs, the persons who caused and found the errors, and the factors that triggered the errors were analyzed. Results During the set period, a total of 59-987 ME reports from 30-hospitals in 13 provinces and municipalities in China were collected in the monitoring network, which included 149 ME reports (0.3%) of warfarin, involving 149 patients. Among the 149 patients, 94 were male (63.1%) and 55 were female (36.9%), aged 2-87 years. The indications of warfarin were atrial fibrillation in 78 patients, mechanical valve replacement in 47 patients, thrombosis in 10 patients, pulmonary embolism in 10 patients, and congenital heart defect in 4 patients. One hundred and thirty-two MEs (88.6%) were mild and 17 (11.4%) were severe, of which 1 caused patient death. Among the warfarin MEs, dose errors ranked the first, accounting for 29.5% (44/149), followed by medication frequency error (26.2%, 39/149) and wrong drug class (22.2%, 33/149). Among the 149 MEs, 102 (68.5%) were triggered by doctors, 25 (16.8%) were by pharmacists, and 22 (14.8%) were by patients/family members. In the 102 MEs triggered by doctors, 94 were intercepted by pharmacists or nurses and 8 were not intercepted, which were all severe MEs [7 were drug selection errors (drugs were not selected based on drug interaction) and 1 were wrong dose]. In the 25 MEs triggered by pharmacists, 24 were intercepted by pharmacists, nurses, or patients/family members and 1 was not intercepted, which was dose error(severe); the patient involved in the severe ME was treated with combined anticoagulant therapy and no thromboembolic events occurred. In the 22 MEs caused by patients/family members, 14 were intercepted by doctors, nurses, or pharmacists and 8 were not intercepted, which were severe MEs, including 1 dose error (causing patient death), 2 frequency errors, and 5 drug class errors. A total of 132 MEs were found in time and successfully intercepted. Among the persons who found the MEs, 61 were pharmacists, accounting for 46.2%; 53 were nurses, accounting for 40.1%; 10 were doctors, accounting for 7.6%; 8 were patients/family members, accounting for 6.1%. The main factors causing MEs were lack of knowledge(accounting for 57.1%, 85/149), fatigue, misreading, and machine fault (accounting for 22.8%, 34/149), and unskilled technology (accounting for 13.4%, 20/149) in order. Conclusions In the content of warfarin MEs, dose error ranks the first, and drug class errors and drug selection errors usually cause severe MEs. Pharmacists play an important role in discovering and intercepting the warfarin MEs. Lack of knowledge is the primary factor causing MEs.

    Objective To establish a prescription pre⁃audit system based on the structureprocess⁃outcome (SPO) model in the the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University and explore its application effect. Methods Based on the structural dimension of SPO model, the organizational structure, pharmaceutical team, management system of pharmaceutical prescription audit, and audit environment of the prescription pre⁃audit system were established. Based on the process dimension of SPO model, the preaudit process, medication knowledge base, and audit rule base were established, quality monitoring and control were implemented, and relevant personnel training were conducted. Based on the outcome dimension of SPO model, the review rate, manual review rate, clinician acceptance rate of prescription review, reasonable rate of outpatient and emergency prescription comments, and intervention rate of inpatient medical order were verified after the prescription pre⁃audit system application. Results The prescription preaudit system was first launched in the main hospital area of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University in March 2021, and achieved full coverage in all five hospital areas by May 2023. The review rates of outpatient and emergency prescriptions and inpatient medical orders had been increasing year by year from 2021 to 2023, and all reached more than 99% of the expected rates in 2023. Compared with 2021, the proportions of outpatient and emergency prescriptions and inpatient medical orders submitted to manual review decreased in 2023
    [1.2% (112 206/9 509 430) vs. 2.9% (16 214/549 672), 2.9% (206 258/7 152 620) vs. 3.9% (147 679/3 814 929), the proportions of prescriptions that failed to be reviewed in time decreased [0.7% (62 382/9 509 430) vs. 1.4% (7 429/549 672), 0.3% (22 816/7 152 620) vs. 2.2% (83 303/3 814 929)], and the acceptance rates of outpatient and emergency prescription review and inpatient medical orders review by clinicians increased [76.1% (2 421/3 180) vs. 57.0% (339/595), 94.3% (1 000/1 060) vs. 70.7% (797/1 128)],
    with statistically significant differences (all P<0.001). But there were still some prescriptions and orders that needed manual review but were not reviewed in time and finally missed review. Compared with 2021, the reasonable rates of outpatient and emergency prescription comments increased in 2023 [96.7% (924 558/956 252) vs. 92.2% (983 827/1 067 357), 98.7% (518 307/525 227) vs. 98.0% (181 296/185 069)], and the intervention rate of inpatient medical orders decreased [0.7% (196 522/26 751 992) vs. 0.9% (195 660/22 631 289)], with statistically significant differences (all P<0.001). Conclusions Applying the SPO model can improve the organization and management of the prescription pre⁃audit system, and ensure the smooth launch and safe operation of the system. After verification, the operating speed of the prescription pre⁃audit system and prescription review speed of pharmacists could basically meet the clinical needs, the indicators of rational drug use in the hospitals were improved, and the professional and technical ability of pharmacists were enhanced.

     A 26-year-old female patient took oral methimazole 20-mg twice daily due to hyperthyroidism. More than a month later, she developed spastic pain of limb muscles. Laboratory tests showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 45-U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 121-U/L, creatine kinase (CK) 6-090-U/L, and serum potassium 4.1-mmol/L. The dose of methimazole was reduced to 10-mg once daily, but the patient′s myalgia was not improved after 3 days. Adverse reactions due to methimazole were considered and therefore the drug was discontinued. Four days after drug withdrawal, the patient′s myalgia was obviously relieved, and laboratory tests showed ALT 36-U/L, AST 50-U/L, and CK 1-954-U/L. After 18 days of drug withdrawal, her myalgia disappeared, and the ALT, AST, and CK returned to normal.

    A 60-year-old male patient was hospitalized due to acute attack of bronchial asthma and pneumonia and antitussive, antiasthmatic, and anti-inflammatory treatments was given. Then his symptoms were improved. Discharge medication included budesonide and formoterol fumarate powder for inhalation and montelukast sodium. On the 4th day of medication after discharge, the patient developed bilateral metatarsophalangeal joint pain with redness and swelling, abdominal distension, fatigue, and dark urine. Laboratory tests showed serum creatinine (Scr) 112-μmol/L, serum uric acid 228-μmoL/L, urine protein (+), and urine occult blood (++). Gout, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune diseases were excluded and the possibility of acute kidney injury and metatarsophalangeal joint pain related to montelukast sodium was considered. Montelukast sodium was discontinued, budesonide and formoterol fumarate powder for inhalation was continued, and symptomatic treatment was given at the same time. Seven days later, the pain of metatarsophalangeal joint was improved and the urine color returned to normal. Two weeks later, his Scr level returned to normal (75-μmol/L).

    Objective To systematically evaluate cardiotoxicity of programmed cell death 1 receptor (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors. Methods Clinical trials of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor alone or in combination with other treatments for tumors were collected by searching related databases at home and abroad (up to March 2, 2019). The methodological quality of studies was evaluated using the internationally accepted Cochrane collaboration′s risk of bias assessment tool. A meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software to compare the incidences of cardiotoxicity between PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors (trial group) and placebo or other antineoplastic agents(control group). Results A total of 10 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were enrolled, 9 of which were about PD-1 inhibitor alone or in combination with other antineoplastic agents, and 1 of which was about PD-L1 inhibitor monotherapy. There were a total of 5-291 patients, including 3-022 in the trial group and 2-269 in the control group. Evaluation of the methodological quality for studies showed that 4 RCTs were at high risk of bias and the other 6 were at low risk of bias. The meta-analysis showed that the incidence of cardiotoxicity in the trial group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant[1.13% (34/3-022) vs. 0.22% (5/2-269), RR=2.38, 95%CI: 1.19-4.78, P=0.01]. Conclusion PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have the risk of causing heart related adverse events, which should be paid attention to in clinical application.

    A 62-year-old female patient with stomach cancer received an IV infusion of oxaliplatin and mannitol injection on day 1 and oral tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil potassium on days 1-14 in a 21-day cycle after radical mastectomy. Pretreatment with dexamethasone and other drugs was given 3 hours before the infusion to alleviate possible adverse reactions. During the 1st cycle of chemotherapy, the patient had no other adverse reaction except nausea and fatigue, and no intervention was given. About 2 hours after oxaliplatin and mannitol injection in the 2nd cycle, the patient′s limbs were swollen and flushed, and red patches appeared on the skin. Then the erythema increased and merged into patches and her skin on the feet was desquamated. The above symptoms were improved after anti-allergic treatments. About 3 hours after oxaliplatin and mannitol injection in the 3rd cycle, the patient developed dyspnea, and systemic skin flushing and swelling accompanied by scratches. Then visible blisters on part of the skin appeared, which cracked at the flexion of the joints with exudate impregnation. The patient was given anti-allergic therapy such as prednisolone. Four days later, her skin on the whole body showed scaly desquamation, her hands and feet showed gloved desquamation, and she was diagnosed as having exfoliative dermatitis; 9 days later, her skin color became lighter and there was no new rash. Considering that exfoliative dermatitis was caused by oxaliplatin and mannitol injection, the chemotherapy regimen was switched to docetaxel (day 1) and tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil potassium (days 1-14). The skin allergic reactions did not recur.

The experts′ feedback and suggestions were organized and the second round questionnaire was designed to ask for opinions again. Authoritative coefficient, positive coefficient, coordinate coefficient, mean score, and full mark rate were calculated. The selected drugs were respectively divided into grade A (frequency ≥ 3 000) and B (frequency < 3 000) standard according to medication frequency.ResultsThirty nine and 38 experts respectively took part in the 2 rounds of Delphi method investigations, who were selected from 23 grade Ⅲa hospitals in 11 provinces and 3 municipalities directly under the central government. These experts′ specialties involved 11 clinical medical specialties including neurology, psychiatry, cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, urogenital epidemiology, gerontology, general medicine, pain medicine, dermatology, and respiratory medicine and 3 pharmacy specialties including clinical pharmacy, clinical pharmacology, and hospital pharmacy. After the 2 rounds of investigations, all of the authoritative coefficients of the experts were above 0.7, all of positive coefficients were 100%, and the first coordination coefficient were 0.17 and 0.21, respectively. Meanwhile, the mean scores were 3.65 and 3.94 and the means of full mark rates were 0.15 and 0.32, respectively. The first round investigation contained 188 points of drug-induced risks of 89 species (categories) of drugs under 31 kinds of morbid states and the second round investigation contained 74 points of drug-induced risks of 44 species (categories) of drugs kinds of morbid states. These indexes listed in the second round investigation were all enrolled the primary standard of PIM in Chinese aged people under morbid state. Grade A standard contained 62 points of drug-induced risks of 35 species (categories) of drugs under 25 kinds of morbid states, and grade B standard contained 12 points of drug-induced risks of 9 species (categories) of drugs under 9 kinds of morbid states.ConclusionsThe development of primary standard of PIM in Chinese aged people under morbid state has completed preliminarily. However, the standard still needs to be improved by clinical application to be used as a powerful tool for promoting rational drug use and lowering drug-induced risks of aged people.

    A 76-year-old male patient with small cell lung cancer received EC (etoposide and carboplatin) chemotherapy combined with camrelizumab. On the 22th day of medication, the patient deve- loped chest tightness, shortness of breath, dyspnea, limb weakness, walking difficulty, etc. Laboratory tests revealed creatine kinase (CK) 1-210-U/L and CK-MB 63 U/L. The chemotherapy and immunotherapy were stopped, but the patient′s symptoms continued to worsen. Laboratory tests showed troponin T (TnT) 336-ng/L, CK 1-025-U/L, CK-MB 74-U/L, and N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) 648-ng/L. The muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electromyogram showed muscle injury and cardiac MRI showed left ventricular fibrosis. Then immune-related skeletal muscle and myocardial injury caused by camrelizumab was considered. The patient received an IV infusion of methylprednisolone sodium succinate for injection 100-mg once daily for 13 days. Then the patient′s fatigue symptoms were improved, the levels of CK and NT-proBNP decreased to the reference range, but the levels of TnT and CK-MB were 491-ng/L and 113-U/L, respectively. Therefore, an intravenous infusion of immunoglobulin 20 g once daily was given. Five days later, his dyspnea was improved, and TNT and CK-MB decreased to 201-ng/L and 59-U/L, respectively.

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of anaphylaxis caused by gonado- relin in children in gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation test. Methods The research subjects were children aged ≤14 years who experienced anaphylaxis using gonadorelin in the Chengdu Adverse Reaction Center database from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2021. The purpose of medication was GnRH stimulation test. Through the hospital information system, the children′s basic information, usage of gonadorelin, occurrence of severe allergic reactions, and treatments and outcomes of anaphylaxis were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 14 cases of anaphylaxis in children caused by gonadorelin in the GnRH stimulation test were collected, including 3 males and 14 females, with an age of (9±2) years. All 14 cases were evaluated with a score of ≥5 using the Naranjo evaluation method. The dose of gonadorelin in the 14 children was (2.55±0.09) μg/kg and the drug was all given by intravenously injection; anaphylaxis occurred in 4 children during the first GnRH stimulation test and in 10 children during the second GnRH stimulation test. The time from medication to anaphylaxis occurence was (6.0±3.5) minutes. The symptoms of anaphylaxis in 14 children were systemic allergic reactions, involving various systems throughout the body. All children had 3 or more types of systemic damage. After anaphylaxis occurrence, gonadorelin was discontinued in all 14 patients; 5 received intramuscular injection of adrenaline, 5 received intravenous injection of adrenaline, 1 received intravenous injection of isoprenaline and intramuscular injection of adrenaline, and 3 received intravenous injection of dexamethasone only. After treatments, all children were improved. Conclusions Anaphylaxis caused by gonadorelin in children is a rare but severe adverse reaction, and the drug may have a possibility of cross allergy with GnRH analogues. Therefore, when diagnosing and treating precocious puberty in children, medication should be given under monitoring conditions.

    Anticancer drugs play an important role in the treatment for malignant tumors. The kidney function of patients has an important impact on the choice of anticancer drugs, the safety during treatments, and the prognosis of patients. All cancer patients should undergo comprehensive kidney function assessment before using anticancer drugs, so as to formulate an individualized anticancer regimen. The Japanese Society of Nephrology, Japan Society of Clinical Oncology, Japanese Society of Medical Oncology, and Japanese Society of Nephrology and Pharmacotherapy have formulated the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Kidney Injury During Anticancer Drug Therapy 2022 and made special discussions and suggestions on the evaluation of kidney function of tumor patients before anticancer drug treatment. This article interprets this part in order to made a more comprehensive understanding on the occurrence and risk factors of kidney disease in cancer patients in the clinic. Paying attention to the kidney function assessment of cancer patients before anticancer drug treatment and mastering the correct assessment methods can help improve the kidney safety of cancer patients during treatments.

    Objective To explore the occurrence and clinical characteristics of hyperprogression of metastatic malignant melanoma caused by toripalimab (JS001). Methods The medical records of patients with metastatic malignant melanoma treated with JS001 alone or in combination with other antineoplastic agents between February 2018 and September 2019 in Department of Kidney Cancer and Melanoma of Beijng Cancer Hospital were collected. Patients displaying hyperprogression were screened into the case group, who were matched with those without hyperprogression evidence (the control group) in a 1/4 ratio according to baseline age, gender, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score, location of the primary lesion, and elevated level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). The clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients between the 2 groups were compared and the hyperprogression in the case group was analyzed descriptively. Results A total of 130 patients with metastatic malignant melanoma who received JS001 alone or in combination with other antineoplastic agents were collected. Hyperprogression occurred in 8 patients (the case group), including 5 males and 3 females, aged (52.5±8.5) years. The incidence of hyperprogression was 6.15%. Thirty-two patients without displaying hyperprogression were matched as the control group according to the baseline characteristics of patients in the case group. Patients with metastatic lesions in more than 2 organs at baseline in the case group were significantly more than those in the control group (6/8 vs. 7/32, P=0.014); the LDH level of patients in the case group significantly increased after treatment than before [(965±710) U/L vs. (264±64) U/L, P=0.025]; the progression-free survival and overall survival in patients were significantly lower than those of patients in the control group [1.7 (95%CI: 1.4-2.0) months vs. 3.1 (95%CI: 2.7-3.5) months, P<0.001; 4.8 (95%CI: 0-11.2) months vs. 10.7 (95%CI: 10.4-10.9) months, P=0.031]. Conclusions Patients with melanoma may experience hyperprogression in early stages of JS001 treatment. Patients with metastatic lesions in more than 2 organs before treatment are more likely to develop hyperprogression, and patients displaying hyperprogression have a poor prognosis. Serum LDH level monitoring can help detect tumor hyperprogression as early as possible.

    A 61-year-old female patient underwent intestinal preparation before electronic colonoscopy. She took polyethylene glycol electrolytes powder (Ⅳ) in 6 times (dissolved content A 24 bags and B 24 bags in warm water 3-000-ml and then took 500-ml orally per 30-minutes). During the intestinal preparation, the patient′s urine output was about 4-500-ml, diarrhea occurred 8 times, and she vomited 2 times within 5.5-hours. The patient fell into a coma at 14:00 on the day, accompanied by limb convulsion and trismus. Laboratory tests showed that the serum sodium and potassium decreased from 140-mmol/L and 4.0-mmol/L to 120-mmol/L and 2.7-mmol/L before and after treatment, respectively. In addition, his chloride was 87.2-mmol/L and bicarbonate was 11.5-mmol/L. Blood gas analysis showed pH 7.29-mmHg, partial pressure of carbon dioxide 31-mmHg, partial pressure of oxygen 105-mmHg, and base excess -10.4-mmol/L. Metabolic acidosis was diagnosed. Head CT and MRI showed no abnormalities. Electrolyte disorder, metabolic acidosis, and hyponatremia encephalopathy due to hyponatremia caused by polyethylene glycol electrolytes powder (Ⅳ) was considered. Oxygen inhalation, continuous ECG monitoring, correction of electrolyte disorders, correction of acidosis, rehydration, and other symptomatic and supportive treatments were given immediately. After 4 hours of treatments, the vital signs of the patient were gradually stable but she was still in a coma. On the third day of treatments, the patient was conscious, her serum electrolytes returned to normal, and no seizures occurred.

    A 68-year-old male patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus received saxagliptin, metformin, and voglibose for 10 months, voglibose was switched to acarbose due to poor blood glucose control firstly and then to empagliflozin (oral 10-mg thrice daily) 2 days later. Next day,compound tropicamide eye drops was used to mydriasis and 3 hours later (2 hours after the second administration of empagliflozin), the patient developed scattered red wheal like rash with pruritus on the chest and abdomen, followed by eyelid edema. Considering allergy to compound tropicamide eye drops, loratadine and cetirizine were given, the rash gradually subsided, but the skin pruritus increased. Diffuse red macules and papules, which faded from pressure, gradually appeared on his trunk and upper limbs. Allergic dermatitis caused by empagliflozin was considered after consulting the dermatologist, empagliflozin was discontinued, fexofenadine and calamine lotion were added, and the rash subsided. Due to the patient′s condition, empagliflozin was readministered 3 days later, and the patient experienced a skin allergic reaction again 9 days after the treatment. Empagliflozin was stopped again and the rash did not recur after anti-allergic treatment. It was considered that the patient′s skin allergic reaction was possibly related to empagliflozin.

    Sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are novel oral hypoglycemic agents, which reduces blood glucose by inhibiting the reabsorption of glucose in the proximal convoluted tubule of the kidney and increasing the excretion of glucose to the urine. SGLT2i is effective in the treatment for diabetes mellitus, but there are also some safety problems. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious adverse reaction of SGLT2i. SGLT2i could cause at least a 7-fold increase in developing DKA, approximately 70% of which are euglycemic DKA (euDKA). The risk factors for euDKA include insufficient insulin secretion cell reserve, type 1 diabetes mellitus, insulin reduction or discontinuation, hypovolemia, perioperative period, weight loss, and restricted feeding, etc. Because the increase of blood glucose in patients with euDKA is not obvious, the diagnosis is often delayed, so close attention should be paid to it. Safety medication training for SGLT2i should be strengthened to improve clinicians′ understanding of SGLT2i-related euDKA, so that they can strictly grasp the indications of medication and avoid the inducement of euDKA. Once euDKA occurs, clinicians can make early diagnosis and treatment. Pharmacists should be involved in the safety management of patients using SGLT2i to improve the safety in treatment.

    A 52-year-old male patient took one compound paracetamol and amantadine hydrochloride capsule (each capsule contains 250-mg acetaminophen, 100-mg amantadine hydrochloride, 2-mg chlorphenamine maleate, 10-mg artificial bezoar, and 15-mg caffeine) by himself for a cold. Half a day after the medication, the patient developed erythema with itching on the back. The next day the rash worsened and spread throughout the body, involving the mouth, eyes, and scrotal mucosa. Then the skin rash developed into big herpes with epidermal sloughing, and the area of skin damage reached to 90%, accompanied by mild liver injury and blood glucose rise. Epidermolysis bullosa type eruption was diagnosed. High-dose glucocorticoids, immunoglobulins, and symptomatic and supportive treatments were given and her skin lesions largely recovered 3 weeks later. The patient′s epidermolysis bullosa type eruption was consi- dered to be probably related to the acetaminophen in compound paracetamol and amantadine hydrochloride capsules.

    Since healthy volunteers usually have no expected direct clinical benefits in clinical trial, it is particularly important to fully assess the risks and carry out safety monitoring in all links of the trial in combination with their group characteristics. The risk points for healthy volunteers to participate in clinical trials lie in the aspects of trial drugs, clinical trial design, and trial implementation process. The safety and rights of healthy volunteers should be better protected by implementing the Good Pharmacovigilance Practices, improving the level of risk management, enhancing the transparency of clinical trial results, and carrying out relevant risk management research.

    A 6-year-old girl received sinupret oral drops and mometasone furoate aqueous nasal spray for allergic rhinitis for more than 1 month, but her symptoms were not improved. Additional use of oral montelukast sodium chewable tablets 4-mg every night was given due to adenoid hypertrophy. After 7 days of montelukast sodium administration, the girl developed somnambulism once per week, which manifested as sitting up suddenly in the dream and lying down to sleep after 1-minute. Two months later, all drugs were stopped because the nasal symptoms were relieved and no sleepwalking occurred 1 week after drug withdrawal. More than a year later, the above 3 drugs were given by her parents due to the recurrence of rhinitis and the girl developed somnambulism again with worse symptoms 5 days later. After 2 weeks of continued medication, somnambulism continued to worsen. Montelukast sodium was stopped, symptoms of somnambulism were relieved 2 days later and disappeared 1 month later. Considering that somnambulism in the girl was an adverse reaction to montelukast sodium, it was replaced by oral loratadine 5-mg every night. At 3 months of telephone follow-up, the somnambulism did not occur in the girl.

    Objective To construct a recommended list of high-alert medication (HAM) based on big data from medication error (ME) reports in China, providing reference for preventing and reducing HAM-related risks. Methods The drugs involved in the serious ME reports of the National Monitoring Network for Clinical Safe Medication (Monitoring Network) were collected (as of December 31, 2023), and the candidate drugs were preliminarily determined referring to the HAM list of China 2023 (Chinese list) and the latest three lists of American Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP). Candidate drugs that were included in both the Chinese list and ISMP lists, as well as those existed in the Chinese list but had never been included in the ISMP lists were included in the current list, and their risk levels followed the original risks in the Chinese list. Candidate drugs that existed in the Chinese list but had been excluded from the ISMP lists, and those existed in the ISMP lists but had not been included in the Chinese list were listed as suspected drugs. For the other candidate drugs, those did not meet the definition of HAM were excluded firstly, and those related to ME that had caused serious harm were listed as suspected drugs, according to the judicial cases on ME of China Judgements Online and PKULAW database. Two methods, including Delphi expert consultation and questionnaire survey, were used to determine whether the above suspected drugs were included in the HAM list and their risk levels. Results A total of 138 drugs were obtained through the initial screening, 106 of which were directly included in the current list, and 32 of which were listed as drugs requiring further assessment. After 2 rounds of Delphi expert consultation by 18 experts and surveys with 136 valid questionnaires, 32 suspected drugs did not meet the inclusion criteria. Finally, a total of 106 drugs were included in the current list, including 51 A-class drugs in 9 categories, 33 B-class drugs in 9 categories, and 22 C-class drugs in 5 categories. Conclusion Based on the big data of the ME reports in China, a HAM list is constructed, which is accurate and concise and better fits the actual clinical drug risks in China, helping to improve the drug safety management.

The reasons for using serotonergic drugs were mental illness (36 patients), pain (8 patients), and Parkinson′s disease (2 patients), etc.; the reasons for using linezolid were staphylococcal infection (24 patients), enterococcal infection (13 patients), and empirical anti-infection treatments (11 patients), etc. Among the 50 patients, 48 were treated with serotonergic drugs and then with linezolid, and 2 were treated with linezolid and then with serotonergic drugs; the drug washout period was not recorded in 44 patients and not long enough in the other 6 patients; the serotonergic drugs were given orally in 40 patients and by intravenous infusion in 10 patients; 35 patients had usage and dosage records, which were all in line with the requirements of drug labels; 27, 16, 5, and 2 patients were treated with 1, 2, 3, and 4 kinds of serotonergic drugs respectively, and the drugs used mainly were selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonergic drugs and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, and opioids, etc. Except the administration route of linezolid was not mentioned in 12 patients, it was given by intravenous infusion in 27 patients and orally in 11 patients. The frequency of medication met the requirements of drug labels in 49 patients, and the medication frequency of one child was lower than that specified in the drug labels. SS occurred 3 hours to 20 days after combined use of drugs, mostly 1 to 5 days. The clinical manifestations were mental state change, autonomic nerve dysfunction, and neuromuscular dysfunction in 45, 47, and 45 patients, respectively. After discontinuation of linezolid and/or serotonergic drugs and receiving symptomatic treatments for 2 hours to 9 days, 43 patients were improved, 1 patient died of cardiac arrest after SS occurrence, and 6 patients died of the primary diseases after the symptoms of SS were controlled. Conclusions SS due to linezolid combined with serotonergic drugs mostly occurred 1 to 5 days after combined use of above 2 drugs, and the clinical manifestations were similar to SS induced by other reasons. After discontinuation of linezolid and serotonergic drugs and symptomatic and supportive treatments, the overall prognosis is acceptable, but serious SS can lead to death.

    Smoking is one of major causes leading to death and more than five million people die from smoking each year worldwide. It has become a serious public health problem. Studies have been identified that there are more than 4000 compounds in tobacco and tobacco smoke. Among them at least 43 compounds are carcinogens. Regular smoking can cause a number of diseases like cancer, emphysema, heart disease, organ damage as well as dependence (addiction). The dependence is mainly caused by nicotine containing in tobacco. Most regular smoking are addicted to nicotine. So regular smokers stopping smoking may induce nicotine withdrawal symptoms including irritability, restlessness, dizziness, headache, difficulty sleeping, and inability to concentration. Most smokers who fail to succeed in quitting smoking is mainly related to the nicotine addiction. In view of this fact, a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) was advanced. NRT is a way of getting nicotine slowly into the body without smoking. This help people not only to stop or reduce the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal, but also avoid the hazards from smoking. The results from the various studied have showed that NRT increase the rate of success in quitting smoking, and the risk for dependence to NRT product is small. NRT medicines are available as gums, patches, inhalers, sprays, and so on. All dosage forms of NRT medicines have adverse reactions. The severity of adverse reactions are generally mild, but their types differ across NRTs. The common adverse reactions are dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal discomfort. NRT can safely used for pationts with cardiovascular disease. NRT is not recommended for pregnant women, nursing mothers, and adolescents. In a word, nicotine replacement therapy is safe and effective in helping smokers stop using cigarettes. NRT products have been used in many countries worldwide as OTC. It is worthy of recommendation.

    Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a widely used newer class of antidepressants, which can treat different types of depression. The commonly used SSRIs are fluoxatine, paroxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine, and citalopram. The SSRIs can cause various types of adverse reactions. The main adverse reactions are gastrointestinal disorders, withdrawal reactions, sexual disturbances, and syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), etc. SSRIs may increase the risk of suicidal thinking and behaviour in children and adolescents, but the issue remained controversial. The recent studies have suggested that exposure to SSRIs early in pregnancy appeared to be no increase in the risk of congenital malformations; however, exposure to SSRIs late in pregnancy may incresae the risk of pulmonary hypertension and withdrawal reactions of the newborn. In general, breastfeeding with SSRIs is regarded as safe because the amount of drug is very low in breast milk. But the possibility of longterm effects on development in the infant is unknown. As for the elderly, SSRIs may increase the risk of fracture. Adverse reactions resulting from interations of SSRIs with some drugs are given below. MAOIs: serotonin syndrome; diuretics: severe hyponatremia; anticoagulants: increased risk of bleeding; NSAIDs: increased risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding; tryptophan: serotonin syndrome; astemizole, terfenadine: ventricular arrhythmias and Q-T interval prolongation; haloperidol, maprotiline: severe extrapyramidal symptoms; lithium increase in plasma lithium concentration and lithium toxicity. Overall, SSRIs have fewer adverse effects than tricyclic antidepressants, but the SSRIs do have characteristic adverse reactions of their own. Therefore, doctors should exercise caution when prescribing SSRIs to patients in clinical practice.

    Nucleoside/nucleotide analogues (NAs) which used to treat chronic hepatitis B and had been in the domestic market include adefovir dipivoxil (ADV), tenofovir (TDF), lamivudine ( LAM), telbivudine (LDT) and entecavir (ETV).  ADV and TDF have nephrotoxicity , LAM and ETV have a lesser effects on kidney function , and LDT has certain effect of improving kidney function. The diagnostic criteria of kidney injury due to NAs are serum creatinine (Scr) level higher than that of the baseline value (>44.2 μmol/L) or serum phosphorus level lower than that of the baseline value (<0.5 mmol/L) on two successive detections. The incidence rate of kidney injury due to ADV was higher than that due to TDF. The clinical manifestation of kidney injury due to ADV and TDF was Fanconi syndrome. The patient develops local or systemic osteodynia, osteoporosis, and amyasthenia, even limitation of activity and halisteresis in serious cases. The laboratory tests show increase in Scr, decrease in serum phosphorus and uric acid. The mechanisms of nephrotoxicity of ADV and TDF are related to injury of renal tubular epithelial cell mitochondria, change of renal tubular transport protein, and accumulation of drugs in proximal convoluted tubule. The nephrotoxicity of NAs are related to dosage, patients′ age, body weight, baseline level of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), primary disease, genetic factor, diet and drug. The patient who takes ADV or TDF for long term should monitor SCr, serum phosphorus, eGFR, uric acid, microalbuminuria,and glucose in urine regularly. ADV or TDF should be stopped timely in the case of appearance of symptom of kidney injury. The medication should be changed to LDT or ETV. Phosphorus compounds, vitamin D and calcium should be given.

    Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of cefdinir dispersible tablets selected in the national centralized volume-based procurement (VBP) and the original drug cefdinir capsules. Methods Clinical data of single-use cefdinir in outpatient of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021 were collected through the hospital information system. The clinical data included gender, age, type of medical insurance, type of infection, application of cefdinir, whether to combine other antibacterial drugs, laboratory test results such as blood routine, C-reactive protein, liver and kidney function before and after cefdinir treatment, and adverse reaction report of cefdinir. After propensity score matching (PSM) of the age, sex, type of medical insurance, type of infection and whether to combine with other antibacterial drugs in the cefdinir dispersible tablets group selected in the VBP (VBP group) and the original cefdinir group (original group), the clinical application in patients in the 2 groups was compared to indirectly evaluate the efficacy of the 2 drugs. The white blood cell count, neutrophils percentage, and C-reactive protein levels before and after the use of cefdinir was compared to evaluate the efficacy. Adverse drug reaction report of cefdinir and liver and kidney function before and after the use of cefdinir were compared to evaluate the safety. Results A total of 9-514 patients treated with cefdinir were entered, including 7-037 patients in the VBP group and 2-477 patients in the original group. After PSM, each group comprised 1-268 patients, the differences in gender, age, type of infection, and combination with other antibacterial drugs were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The daily dose, course, and use density of cefdinir in the VBP group were lower than those in the original group[(0.30±0.04) g vs. (0.35±0.12) g, P<0.001; 8(4, 8) d vs. 10(8, 10) d, P<0.001; (3.96±1.70) g vs. (5.22±2.03) g, P<0.001]. The white blood cell count, neutrophils percentage, and C-reactive protein levels after the cefdinir application in patients in the VBP group were lower than those before the use of the cefdinir [11.2(8.7, 13.8)×109 vs. 7.2(5.5, 9.9)×109, P<0.001; 80(74, 87)% vs. 66(56, 73)%, P<0.001; 23(10, 64) mg/L vs. 13(6, 44) mg/L, P=0.032]. No adverse drug reactions related to cefdinir were reported in the 2 groups. The differences in alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood creatinine, and urea nitrogen levels in patients between the 2 groups before and after use of cefdinir were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The difference in aspartate aminotransferase before and after use of the cefdinir in the original group was statistically significant [21(18, 23) U/L vs. 23(20, 29) U/L, P=0.040], and the differences in alanine aminotransferase, blood creatinine, and urea nitrogen levels were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The detection values of liver and kidney function in the 2 groups before and after use of the cefdinir were within the reference range. Conclusion No significant differences were found in the clinical efficacy and safety between the VBP cefdinir dispersible tablets and the original cefdinir capsules.

    Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a serious public health problem which can not be ignored. The mechanism of DILI include drug factors, immune mechanisms and individual factors. The traditional biological markers, such as alanine aminotransferase, aspartate transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamine transferase, total bilirubin, and total bile acid, lack sufficient sensitivity and specificity, so they often can not predict liver injury in the early course of the disease. MicroRNA-122, α- glutathione-S-transferase, 5′-nucleotidase, paraoxonase, purine nucleoside phosphorylase, malate dehydrogenase, and other new biological markers have higher sensitivity and specificity. Among them, microRNA-122 is expected to become a reliable new biological marker to predict hepatotoxicity because its specific, stable and sensitive expression in the liver tissue. Glutamate dehydrogenase, α-glutathione-S-transferase, arginase Ⅰand serum protein F are expected to become biological markers for hepatocellular injury. The 5′-nucleotidase has higher sensitivity and specificity than alkaline phosphatase and γ-glutamine transferase, and it is expected to become a biological marker for cholestasis. At present, these new biological markers of liver injury are still in the research stage and it will take time to get into the clinical use.

    Objective To mine the adverse event (AE) risk signals of semaglutide and liraglutide in weight management populations, and provide references for the safe use of these drugs in relevant patients. Methods The reporting odds ratio (ROR) method, proportional reporting ratio (PRR) method, Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN) method, and empirical Bayesian geometric mean (EBGM) method were used to mine the AE risk signals of semaglutide and liraglutide in weight management populations from the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from the 1st quarter of 2010 to the 4th quarter of 2023. Adverse events that met the criteria of all 4 mining methods were considered as risk signals. The adverse events were classified and statistically analyzed using the system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) of the 26.1 version of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 26.1 version, and the identified risk signals were analyzed. Results During the set period, 2 292 AE reports for semaglutide for weight management (excluding diabetes) and 2 973 for liraglutide were retrieved. The semaglutide-related AE reports involved 83 PTs, among which 57 were already recorded in the instructions and 26 were not. Among the 26 PTs not recorded in the labels, the top 5 PTs in terms of AE report numbers were increased appetite, hunger, panic attack, binge eating, and feeling cold; the top 5 PTs in terms of ROR values were lack of satiety, hunger-induced ketoacidosis, myoglobinuria, binge eating, and bulimia. The liraglutide-related AE reports involved 74 PTs, among which 60 were already recorded in the instructions and 14 were not. Among the 14 PTs not recorded in the labels, the top 5 PTs in terms of AE report numbers were weight gain, increased appetite, binge eating, weight fluctuation, and pancreatic cyst; the top 5 PTs in terms of ROR values were lack of satiety, binge eating, hepatic adenoma, increased appetite, and pancreatic cyst. Three PTs of severe AEs that were not recorded in the labels for semaglutide were identified, namely, olfactory abnormality, ketoacidosis, and panic attack. One PT of severe AE that was not recorded in the labels for liraglutide was identified, namely, metastatic pancreatic cancer. Conclusion The AE risk signals of semaglutide and liraglutide in weight management include AEs not recorded in the labels, and some are even serious AEs, which need to be identified and prevented in clinical practice.

The contents of the questionnaire included the general demographic data of patients, the disease course and type of MG, comorbidities, drug utilization, awareness and application of drugs used with caution in MG patients, and accesses to relevant drug use knowledge. The questionnaire was distributed on-site after the patient ended the visit, and the patients were asked to participate voluntarily and answer and return the questionnaire on the spot. The participants were divided into the with and without relevant knowledge groups according to whether they were aware of drugs used with caution in MG patients, and the clinical characteristics of the patients in the 2 groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of awareness of drugs used with caution, and the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Results A total of 290 questionnaires were distributed and all of them were recovered. Among the 290 patients, 165 were male and 125 were female, and the disease course of MG ranged from 3 weeks to 360 months. The clinical subtypes were ocular MG in 179 patients and non-ocular MG in 111 patients. One or more chronic disease coexisted in 174 patients (60.0%), including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, immune system disease, anxiety/depression, etc. There were 248 patients (85.5%) who had received medications for MG. In the MG patients having access way to knowledge about drugs used with caution, there were 191 (92.7%), 26 (12.6%), 22 (10.7%), and 7 (3.4%) patients through the propagation by healthcare staff, bulletin boards/display boards in the hospital, networks, and books, respectively. There were 64.8% (188/290) of the patients knowing nothing about the drugs used with caution. After the diagnosis of MG, 110 patients had used the drugs that should be used with caution, and 7 (6.4%) had aggravated MG or adverse reactions later, of which 4 applied eye drops (quinolones and macrolides in 2 patients respectively). The independent influencing factors of low awareness of drugs used with caution were not receiving drugs for MG and not obtaining precautions in medication at the time of diagnosis (OR=6.811, 95%CI: 2.252-20.593, P=0.001; OR=5.615, 95%CI: 3.223-9.785, P<0.001). Conclusion Patients with MG have low awareness of the drugs used with caution, and neurology staffs should take more effective measures to the patient education about drugs used with caution.

    A 41-year-old female patient received Rupixiao capsules 1.6 g thrice daily for hyperplasia of mammary glands. About 30 days later, the patient developed nausea, dark urine, and yellowish skin and sclera. After 20 days of continued treatment, her symptoms worsened, so she stopped using Rupixiao capsules by herself. After 10 days of drug withdrawal, her symptoms were not improved. The laboratory tests showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 1-234-U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 778-U/L, gamma-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT) 174-U/L, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 156-U/L, total bilirubin (TBil) 78.7-μmol/L, and total bile acid (TBA) 45.4-μmol/L. After excluding liver injury caused by other reasons through laboratory and auxiliary examination, drug-induced liver injury was diagnosed, which was considered to be related to Rupixiao capsules. Drugs such as reduced glutathione, polyene phosphatidylcholine, compound glycyrrhizin, ademetionine 1,4-butanedisulfonate, and bicyclol were given. The patient′s symptoms of nausea, yellow urine, and jaundice gradually subsided. After 35 days of treatments, laboratory tests showed ALT 39-U/L, AST 43-U/L, γ-GT 57-U/L, ALP 85-U/L, TBil 17.3-μmol/L, and TBA 14.3-μmol/L.

    Objective To know the clinical characteristics of liver injury related to levetiracetam (LEV). Methods The relevant databases at home and abroad (up to August 31st, 2021) were searched and the case reports on LEV-associated liver injury were collected. Clinical information including patients′ basic characteristics, LEV application, concomitant medication, and occurrence, treatment, and outcome of liver injury, etc. were collected and analyzed by descriptive statistical method. Results A total of 17 patients were enrolled in the study, including 9 males and 8 females, aged from 1 month to 76 years with an average age of 35 years. The primary disease was idiopathic epilepsy in 7 patients and secondary epilepsy in 10 patients. Five cases had comorbidities. Thirteen patients had drug dosage records, all of which were within the range recommended in the labels; 13 patients had concomitant medication. The time from LEV treatment to the occurrence of liver injury ranged from several hours to 5 months in 17 patients and it was ≤2 months in 14 patients. The classification of liver injury was hepatocellular type in 7 patients, cholestasis type in 1 patient, mixed type in 1 patient, and unable to be determined due to lack of relevant data in 8 patients. Clinical symptoms were recorded in 10 patients, including yellowish skin and sclera in 5 cases, fever in 4 cases, nausea in 2 cases, vomiting in 2 cases, and biliuria in 2 cases. LEV was discontinued in 14 patients, 4 of whom did not received other interventions and the liver function was improved or returned to normal 2 to 20 days after drug withdrawal; LEV was replaced with other antiepileptic drugs and/or sympto- matic treatments in 10 patients, 9 patients′ liver function were improved or returned to normal (the recovery time was 5-37 days in 5 patients and not recorded in 4 patients), 1 patient had normal liver function after liver transplantation, but the liver injury recurred after LEV use again and was improved after drug withdrawal. Two patients did not stop LEV, one underwent liver transplantation due to liver failure and hepatic encephalopathy, and the prognosis was unknown; the other one developed fulminant liver failure and died. One patient had no record of whether or not stopping LEV, and the liver function returned to normal after artificial liver support treatment. Conclusions LEV-related liver injury mostly occurred within 2 months after drug administration. The clinical manifestations were similar to the liver injury caused by other drugs. Liver function usually was improved or returned to normal after the drug withdrawal. The patients who did not stop LEV had poor prognosis, and severe cases could lead to liver failure or death.

    A 52-year-old male patient was given escitalopram 5-mg/d (gradually increased to 15-mg/d), trazodone 100-mg/d, and lorazepam 1-mg/d for depression. Increased salivary secretion occurred 3 days after taking the medicine. After 13 days of taking the medicine, she only took escitalopram and lorazepam due to lack of trazodone. After stopping trazodone for 3 days, the symptoms of increased salivary secretion disappeared. Trazodone 100-mg/d was added again later due to poor sleep and increased salivary secretion relapsed after 2 days of trazodone administration. Considering that the above symptoms were related to trazodone, the doctor ordered him to stop the drug and take escitalopram and lorazepam only. Three days later, the patient′s increased salivary secretion disappeared again. The patient′s depressive symptoms were relieved and increased salivary secretion did not recur at a 2-week follow-up.

    Hepatitis C virus protease inhibitors (PIs) are one of the major categories that constitute directly acting antivirals (DAA) regimen in the treatment for hepatitis C. These drugs are mainly metabolized by liver cytochrome P450 and have potential hepatotoxicity. Population pharmacokinetic study data showed that the metabolism of PIs was slower in Asians than that in White/Caucasian subjects, and the results of clinical trials and real-world studies in Asians showed that these drugs had the risk of causing liver enzyme abnormalities and bilirubin elevations. Medical workers in our country should pay full attention to the potential risks of PIs in liver safety, and should not rely too much on safety data in Europe and America. The baseline liver disease severity should be accurately assessed before selecting the DAA regimen containing PIs and the risk of disease progression should be considered. PIs are contraindicated in patients with decompensated liver disease. For patients without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis, the liver function should be closely monitored during the administration of PIs and the management of liver-related adverse events should be paid attention to.

    Druginduced headaches refer to a headache caused either directly or indirectly by medications, which account for 5%~10% of the headaches. Mechanism of druginduced headaches is unclear. The comnon causes of drug-induced headaches are as follows: vasodilation, benign intracranial hypertension, aseptic meningitis, disulfiram-like reactions, and analgesic overuse. Clinical presentation of druginduced headaches may be accompanied by dizziness, nausea, vomiting, facial flushing, and decreased blood pressure, besides headache symptoms. The most common causative agents include NSAIDs, histamine H2 receptor antagonists, calcium antagonists, and vasodilators. Care must be taken to distinguish a headache during drug therapy from a headache secondary to the primary disease. The symptoms of druginduced headaches may relieve after stopping the offending agents and receiving symptomatic therapy.

    Objective To explore the characteristics and mechanism of Chinese herbs with fertility toxicity. Methods Chinese herbs with reproductive toxicity, developmental toxicity and genetic toxicity were retrieved from Traditional Chinese Medicine System Toxicology Database. The property, taste, meridian tropism, toxicity classification and performance, and the toxic component and action target of each medicinal material were collected and descriptive statistical analysis was performed. Results A total of 55 kinds of Chinese herbs with fertility toxicity were screened out. They were mostly warm [20 (36.4%)] or cold [15 (27.3%)] in property, and mostly bitter and pungent in taste [bitter-pungent, bitter, and pungent accounted for 30.9% (17/55), 23.6% (13/55) and 18.2% (10/55)]. The channel tropisms were mainly liver, lung, spleen, and kidney [58.2% (32/55), 38.2% (21/55), 38.2% (21/55) and 34.5% (19/55)], and the main manifestations of its reproductive toxicity were reproductive function damage in males and females, abnormal embryonic growth and development and genetic/cytotoxicity, which might lead to reduced pregnancy rate, miscarriage, abnormal fetal growth and development, etc. There were 29 kinds of Chinese herbs with 35 known fertility toxic components. Among them, 30 toxic components had 11 known toxic targets. The more common toxic targets included thyroid hormone receptor beta, cytochrome P450 1A1, sex hormone-binding globulin and interleukin-1 beta. Conclusions Chinese herbs with fertility toxicity are mostly warm or cold in property, and bitter and pungent in taste; their channel tropisms are mainly liver, lung, spleen and kidney; they mainly affect fertility and embryonic development by changing the body′s endocrine and interfering with sex hormone metabolism.

    Objective To explore the factors influencing the severity and prognosis of vancomycin- associated acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods Case reports on vancomycin-associated AKI were collected by searching the relevant databases home and abroad up to June 2020. Patients′ relevant information such as general condition, underlying diseases, infecting species, treatment of vancomycin, baseline serum creatinine (Scr), baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), time from medication to onset of AKI, Scr elevation rate, eGFR decline rate, management of AKI, and outcomes were recorded and descriptively analyzed. The influence factors of the rates of Scr elevation and eGFR decline in patients were analyzed using robust regression method and the influence factors of the prognosis of vancomycin-associated AKI were analyzed by comparing the main clinical features of patients with basic recovery and improvement of Scr level. Results A total of 81 reports involving 109 patients were enrolled in the analysis, including 65 males and 44 females, aged from 1 to 84 years with a median age of 49 years, of which 20 were ≤15 years old and 61 (56.0%) suffered from underlying chronic diseases. The median daily dose of vancomycin was 2.00 (0.75, 6.00) g in 89 adult patients and 40.0 (10.3, 240.0) mg/kg in 20 pediatric patients. The median time from medication to onset of AKI was 7 (1, 135) days, and 80 (73.4%) occurred within 14 days after first medication. Seventy-five patients (68.8%) had concomitant use of drugs with potential nephrotoxicity. The median value of peak Scr was 408 (53, 1-000) μmol/L, and the median eGFR was 44.3 (4.2, 280.7) ml/(min·1.73 m2) after developing AKI. Steady-state trough concentration of vancomycin was recorded in 57 patients, which was 46.2 (11.8,284.0) mg/L before or at onset of AKI. Except 4 patients died and 1 patient was lost to follow-up, the Scr level basically recovered in 50 patients, were improved in 51 patients, and did not recover in 3 patients, which required continuous renal replacement therapy. Robust regression analysis showed that the trough concentration of vancomycin and the number of concomitant nephrotoxic drugs were significantly correlated with the rates of Scr elevation and eGFR decline after AKI (all P<0.05). The age and peak Scr in patients with basic recovery of renal function were significantly lower than those in patients with improved renal function (all P<0.001), while the lowest eGFR value was significantly higher(P=0.036). Conclusions Patients with higher trough concentration of vancomycin and more nephrotoxic drugs would have greater elevation of Scr and the decline of eGFR. Older age, higher Scr peak value, and lower eGFR was associated with worse recovery of the renal function.

    Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical critical illness. Several foreign studies showed that patients with drug-induced AKI accounted for 15%-27% of patients with AKI occurred during hospitalization and a domestic research showed that the proportion was 28.9%. The evaluation methods of causality assessment between drugs and AKI are experts judgement or global introspection, Karch & Lasagnar evaluation method, recommended standard for ADR monitoring center of Health Planning Commission of China, and Naranjo Adverse Drug Reaction Probability Scale(NADRPS), etc. The etiology of drug-induced AKI can be divided into 3 categories, including prerenal, renal, and postrenal. Predisposing factors include advanced age, diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, low serum albumin, etc. Prevention measures are avoiding and correcting all kinds of risk factors, selecting drugs of low toxicity or no toxicity to kidney, and if necessary early dialysis treatment should be given. Development and improvement of computer aided automatic alert system is very important in prevention, early diagnosis and early treatment of AKI.

    Objective To analyze the information related to child-prohibition in drug labels in China. Methods The existing drug labels for chemical drugs and biological products included in the China Pharmacopoeia 2020 (Ch.P) were collected through searching websites such as "Yaozhiwang" "Dingxiangyuan" and "Yimaitong", and information related to child-prohibition was extracted. The expression and existing problems of information about child-prohibition were analyzed. Results A total of 1-741 and 149 chemical and biological products were included in the Ch.P, respectively, of which 411 (23.6%) and 6 (4.0%) products involved information of child-prohibition. Information of child-prohibition was expressed in 18 ways, such as "prohibited" "not recommended" and "try not to", etc. Issues of child-prohibition information in drug labels of the same drug from different manufacturers were inconsistent text descriptions, inconsistent age range, and incomplete information on whether there was benzyl alcohol; issues in the same drug label was different age ranges for child-prohibition in different chapters. Conclusions There are inconsistencies and non-standard issues in information related to child-prohibition in the existing drug instructions in China. Drug manufacturers should conduct full lifecycle management of drug labels in accordance with the "Technical Guidelines for Writing Information on Children′s Medication in the Instructions of Chemical Drugs and Therapeutic Biological Products (trial)", and continuously standardize and improve the information of child-prohibition.

    With the wide use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), its adverse reactions have attracted more and more attention. Due to their short time on the market, the data of ICI-related adverse reactions in Chinese population are not sufficient, so attention should be paid to the field. At present, the problems existing in adverse reaction monitoring of ICI include insufficient in-hospital monitoring, insufficient out-of-hospital monitoring, lack of monitoring research in special population, and lack of in-depth research on mechanisms and prediction indicators of ICI adverse reaction. In view of the existing problems, medical institutions should strengthen the monitoring and management of adverse reactions of ICI in hospitals, and enhance the management of special drugs such as ICI in social pharmacies. The monitoring data of adverse reactions of ICI can be further supplemented and improved through literature analysis, adverse reaction signal mining and analysis, real-world study and so on.

    Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)-associated immune-mediated hepatitis (IMH) is a special type of drug-induced liver injury. The risk factors of IMH include combination of different types of ICIs, comorbidities, fever, etc. Most patients with IMH are asymptomatic, but laboratory tests show mainly abnormal levels of serum transaminase. It is crucial for patients with IMH to stop or delay the use of ICIs and receive immunosuppressive therapy. The immunosuppressive therapy for IMH usually includes glucocorticoids, and the immunosuppressive agents such as tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, etc. can also be added.

    Objective To explore the occurrence and clinical characteristics of leukopenia induced by amoxicillin sodium and clavulanate potassium for injection in patients with acute pyelonephritis. Methods The subjects were patients with acute pyelonephritis who used amoxicillin sodium clavulanate potassium for injection during hospitalization in the Department of Nephrology, the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital from January to December 2019 and had a white blood cell count (WBC) ≥4.0×109/L before amoxicillin sodium clavulanate potassium for injection administration. Cases of leucopenia caused by amoxicillin sodium clavulanate potassium for injection were collected and the patients′ basic information, duration of treatment with amoxicillin sodium clavulanate potassium for injection, concomitant medications, blood cell count before and after administration, leukopenia occurrence, and interventions and outcomes of leukopenia were extracted from electronic medical records. The incidence of leucopenia was calculated and the clinical characteristics of the adverse reaction were analyzed. Leukopenia was defined as WBC <4.0×109/L (lower limit of WBC reference value in our hospital). Results A total of 134 patients were included in the analysis. Of them, 12 developed leukopenia, the incidence was 9.0%. Among the 12 patients, 1 (8.3%) was male and 11 (91.7%) were female with an age of (35±12) years. The time from drug administration to the onset of leukopenia ranged from 2 to 6 days and it was 3 days in 6 patients (50.0%). The WBC, neutrophil count, and neutrophil proportion were (4.7~17.5)×109/L, (3.1~15.4)×109/L, and (0.60~0.90) before drug administration, and then decreased to (2.3~3.9)×109/L, (0.8~2.4)×109/L, and (0.35~0.65) after drug adminis- tration, respectively. Fifty percent (6/12) of the patients had hemoglobin decrease >20-g/L and (or) erythrocyte count decrease >0.5×1012/L. None of the 12 patients had obvious clinical symptoms, and no other interventions were given after discontinuation of the drug. WBC returned to normal in 11 patients and was unknown in the other 1 patient because the patient was lost to follow-up on day 2 of drug discontinuation after discharge. Conclusions Amoxicillin sodium clavulanate potassium for injection can cause leukopenia in patients with acute pyelonephritis, which mostly occurs within 6 days of medication. It is generally asymptomatic and can recover after drug discontinuation. The prognosis is good.

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of granulomatous mastitis (GM)induced by antipsychotics. Methods Antipsychotic-related GM cases were collected in Chengdu Women′s and Children′s Central Hospital. Meanwhile, antipsychotic-related GM literature cases in PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, Wanfang, VIP, and CNKI databases up to November 2019 were searched. The age, fertility status, primary mental disease, causative agents, duration of medication, diagnosis and characteristics of breast lumps, serum prolactin level, intervention measures, and prognosis of these patients were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Results A total of 7 clinical patients and 9 literature cases with antipsychotic drug-related GM were collected, and all of them were female, aged 21-55 years, of which 10 patients were never giving birth. They took antipsychotics for 0.5-17.0 years. The causative drugs included risperidone in 8 of the 16 patients. Other antipsychotics included olanzapine, clozapine, sulpiride, aripiprazole, perphenazine, quetiapine, amisulpride, flupentixol and melitracen, and etc. Serum prolactin levels elevated in 12 patients (25.45-84.50-μg/L), were normal in 3 patients, and were not mentioned in 1 patient. Surgical resection was performed in 9 patients. GM were improved significantly in the remaining 7 patients with or without adjusting antipsychotics after receiving oral administration of bromocriptine and/or methylprednisolone. And GM recurred in 1 patient during the followed-up. Conclusion Antipsychotic-related GM may occur in women of any age, regardless of whether they have giving birth. Risperidone is the main antipsychotic drug causing GM.

    Objective To report the clinical features of pulmonary hypertension diagnosed by echocardiography in 5 patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) in order to understand the special clinical manifestations of COVID-19 and explore the possible mechanism. Methods The echocardiographic data and clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients complicated with pulmonary hypertension diagnosed by echocardiography in Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University were analyzed descriptively from February 5 to March 31, 2020. Results A total of 15 patients with severe and critical COVID-19 patients underwent echocardiography. Of them, 7 patients were diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, 5 of which were confirmed as complications of COVID-19. Among the 5 patients, 4 were female and 1 was male, aged 62-78 years; 4 were with hypertension, 3 were with diabetes, and 1 was with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. All 5 critically ill patients with COVID-19 were given ventilator-assisted breathing, 2 of which were given extracorporeal membrane oxygenation at the same time. According to echocardiography, the systolic pressure of pulmonary artery in 5 patients was 43-65-mmHg, with an average of 54-mmHg. The severity of pulmonary hypertension was graded as mild in 1 patient and moderate in 4 patients. During the follow-up, pulmonary artery systolic pressure gradually decreased to normal in 4 patients, and then ventilator and ECMO were withdrawn; 1 patient died due to respiratory failure and persistent pulmonary hypertension. Conclusions Patients with COVID-19 may be complicated by pulmonary hypertension, which is often found in the critical patients. Echocardiography is an important imaging diagnostic method for pulmonary hypertension in patients with COVID-19.

    Vaccine development and vaccination are the most effective means to prevent and control coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). At present, there are 4 types of COVID-19 vaccines approved for emergency use by the World Health Organization and approved conditionally for marketing and emergency use by State Drug Administration of China, including inactivated vaccine, recombinant protein subunit vaccine, messenger RNA vaccine, and adenovirus vector-based vaccine. Pre-marketing clinical studies show that the vaccines above-mentioned can effectively stimulate the body′s immune system to produce antibodies against COVID-19, the overall safety is good. Most of the adverse events after vaccination are mild or moderate. However, COVID-19 vaccination involves a large number and wide range of people, and its safety problems can not be ignored. The medical workers and researchers should be on high alert and conduct long-term monitoring to ensure vaccine safety.

    Objective To explore the risk factors of linezolid-induced thrombocytopenia (LIT) and evaluate their predictive value. Methods Medical records of hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) patients who admitted in Suzhou Municipal Hospital from July 2019 to October 2021 and received linezolid were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Clinical data including general information, comorbidities, linezolid application, laboratory test results, and trough concentration of linezolid was extracted. Patients were divided into LIT group and non-LIT group according to the occurrence of LIT. Clinical characteristics were compared between the 2 groups; risk factors of LIT in patients with HAP were analyzed using a binary logistic regression model, and the odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated; the predictive value of the risk factors for LIT were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results A total of 74 patients were included in the study, including 55 males and 19 females, aged 82 (73, 88) years. LIT occurred in 25 patients (33.8%). Compared with the non-LIT group, the age and trough concentration of linezolid in patients in the LIT group were higher [88 (81, 92) years vs. 79(70, 86) years, P=0.001; (19.6±10.3) mg/L vs. (9.8±6.4) mg/L, P<0.001], and the baseline platelet count and baseline creatinine clearance rate were lower [181(162, 212)×109/L vs. 229 (169, 289)×109/L, P=0.025; 31(19, 44) ml/(min·1.73 m2) vs. 46 (27, 65) ml/(min·1.73 m2), P=0.018]. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the lower baseline creatinine clearance rate (OR=0.974, 95%CI: 0.951-0.998, P=0.035) and higher trough concentration of linezolid (OR=1.156, 95%CI: 1.059-1.261, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for LIT in HAP patients. ROC curve analysis showed that the threshold of the age, trough concentration of linezolid, baseline platelet count, and baseline creatinine clearance rate were 87 years (sensitivity 56.0%, specificity 83.7%), 15.4-mg/L (sensitivity 64.0%, specificity 87.8%), 189×109/L (sensitivity 67.3%, specificity 68.0%), and 45-ml/(min·1.73 m2) (sensitivity 53.1%, specificity 80.0%), respectively. Patients were respec- tively divided into 2 groups according to the thresholds and the incidences of LIT were compared. The results showed that the incidences of LIT in patients with age and trough concentration of linezolid exceeding the thresholds and in patients with baseline plate count and baseline creatinine clearance rate lower than or equal to the thresholds were significantly higher than those in the other patients (all P<0.01). Conclusions Baseline creatinine clearance rate, trough concentration of linezolid, age, and plate count are risk factors for LIT in HAP patients and their thresholds are 45-ml/(min·1.73 m2), 15.4-mg/L, 87 years, and 189×109/L, respectively. These risk factors have good predictive value for the occurrence of LIT.

    Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of pharmaceutical services of direct to patients (DTP) sale pharmacy, taking the out-hospital pharmacy service of hypothyroidism caused by camrelizumab as an example. Methods The electronic drug records of patients who received camrelizumab (the medicine was purchased  from 3 stores under the Gaoji Suxiang Specialty Pharmacy in Hefei from July 1, 2019 to July 31, 2021) were collected and their medical history information and pharmacy service data provided by DTP pharmacists were recorded. The occurrence, intervention measures, and outcomes of camrelizumab- related hypothyroidism, as well as the patient′s compliance to the intervention were analyzed descriptively. Results A total of 489 patients were entered in the analysis, including 341 males and 148 females, aged (61±12) years with an range from 18 to 75 years. The drug was used for lung cancer in 129 patients, esophageal cancer in 112 patients, liver cancer in 60 patients, nasopharyngeal carcinoma in 8 patients, lymphoma in 4 patients, and other tumors beyond indications in 176 patients. The median treatment time of camrelizumab in these patients was 4 months, ranging from 1 to 24 months. Camrelizumab was used in monotherapy in 129 patients, in combination with chemotherapy in 156 patients, in combination with targeted drugs in 97 patients, in combination with both chemotherapy and targeted drugs in 83 patients, and in combination with both chemotherapy and radiotherapy in 4 patients; the additional treatment plans were unknown in 20 patients. Among the 489 patients, 16 patients experienced hypothyroidism, with an incidence of 3.3%, of which 6 were actively identified by pharmacists in DTP pharmacy. All 16 cases of hypothyroidism were judged to be associated with camrelizumab by the Naranjo causality evaluation method, and the severity was grade 2 in 15 cases and grade 1 in 1 case. The patient with grade 1 hypothyroidism did not receive medical intervention; camrelizumab was stopped due to disease progression, which resulted in an improvement in hypothyroidism. All 15 patients with grade 2 hypothyroidism received treatment with levothyroxine sodium. In the following 1 week, patient compliance was good, average, and poor in 3, 8, and 5 cases, respectively. Pharmacists provided corresponding interventions based on the main items that affected patient compliance. As of the end of this study, among the 15 patients with grade 2 hypothyroidism, the thyroid function turned normal in 4 patients (including 1 who stopped levothyroxine sodium due to arrhythmia), was improved in 2 patients, and had persistent condition in 9 patients. Conclusion Out-hospital pharmaceutical services provided by pharmacists in DTP pharmacy helps to ensure patient compliance and safe medication.

    Variability of platelet response (VPR) is the differences of different people in response to antiplatelet drugs. Clopidogrel are commonly used as clinical anti-platelet drugs, it irreversibly blocks the platelet ADP P2Y12 receptor, inhibits the binding of ADP and platelet receptor and inhibits activation of ADP-mediated glycoproteinⅡb/Ⅲa complex, thereby inhibits platelet aggregation. Clopidogrel VPR mechanism is unclear, it may be linked to a combination of internal factors and external factors, external factors include patient race, age, body mass index, compliance, obesity, insulin resistance, disease states and drug interaction; internal factors include the absorption and metabolism, and platelet receptor gene polymorphism. The detection methods of clopidogrel VPR are mainly as vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein and adenosine diphosphate ADP as targets for testing. Summarizes evidence based medicine of clopidogrel and finding standard of platelet function testing method are important to implementing individualized treatment and evaluation of the prognosis.

    A 48-year-old male patient received dapagliflozin, metformin and insulin glargine injection due to poor blood glucose control and the blood glucose control was acceptable. After 9 months, the patient′s food intake decreased due to swelling in the gum, and 3 days later, the patient developed nausea, vomi- ting, fatigue, and wheezing. The arterial blood gas analysis showed metabolic acidosis, random blood glucose 15.2-mmol/L, and urinary ketone body (+++). Dapagliflozin and other oral hypoglycemic drugs were stopped, symptomatic treatments such as insulin, fluid replacement, anti-infection, antiemesis, and correction of electrolyte disorder were given, and the patient′s condition was improved. It was considered that dapagliflozin caused ketoacidosis (DKA). The hypoglycemic treatment regimen was changed to subcutaneously injection of insulin aspart 30 injection 22 U in the morning and 16 U at night and oral metformin 0.5 g thrice daily, and the blood glucose control was acceptable. After that, no DKA symptoms recurred in the patient.

    In the past, clinical pharmacists were less involved in the perioperative pharmaceutical management for surgical patients, mainly related to the analgesic management of postoperative pain. In recent 2 years, clinical pharmacists have found that the perioperative patients often suffer from other underlying diseases and need long-term medication. The lack of perioperative pharmaceutical management and evaluation may increase the risk of intraoperative accidents or postoperative complications in some patients. In May 2020, a female patient with rheumatoid arthritis in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Nanjing University failed to fully evaluate the risk of difficult airway caused by long-term use of prednisolone tablets before operation developed difficulty with facemask ventilation and tracheal intubation after anesthesia, and the operation was forced to be terminated. This incident attracted great attention from pharmacists, so they began to implement comprehensive pharmaceutical management for perioperative patients, including formulating a number of management specifications for common perioperative drugs, opening a perioperative pharmaceutical care clinic for daytime surgical patients, and implementing comprehensive perioperative pharmaceutical management for surgical inpatients. Half a year after clinical pharmacists strengthened the perioperative pharmaceutical management, the satisfaction of surgeons, nurses, and patients with their works were 98.2%, 99.1%, and 93.9%, respectively.

    Objective To explore the occurrence and influencing factors of serum uric acid elevation in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) treated with favipiravir. Methods Medical records of patients with COVID-19 who were hospitalized in Beijing Ditan Hospital between June 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021 and treated with the 5- or 10-day regimen of favipiravir were collected and retrospectively analyzed. After favipiravir withdrawal, if the elevation in serum uric acid was ≥30% of baseline level, it was defined as serum uric acid elevation. Then patients were divided into serum uric acid elevation group and non-serum uric acid elevation group. The clinical characteristics such as gender, age, body mass index, comorbidities, smoking and drinking behavior, COVID-19 grade, favipiravir regimen, and serum uric acid level and renal function before treatment in patients between the 2 groups were compared. Influencing factors of favipiravir-associated serum uric acid elevation was analyzed using multivariate logistic regression method. Results A total of 179 patients were included in the analysis, including 104 (58.1%) males and 75 (41.9%) females, aged from 19 to 70 years with a median age of 43 years. The level of serum uric acid in 179 patients after favipiravir treatment was significantly higher than before [(451±119) μmol/L vs. (332±94) μmol/L, P<0.001]. The change rate of serum uric acid from baseline level ranged from -57.1% to 157.8% with the median of 38.6%. The elevation in serum uric acid of ≥ 30% of baseline level occurred in 108 (60.3%) patients. The incidences of serum uric acid elevation in patients treated with 5-day and 10-day regimens of favipiravir were 46.8% (36/77) and 70.6% (72/102), respectively, and the difference between them was significant (P=0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that body mass index 24.0 to <28.0-kg/m2 (OR=3.109, 95%CI: 1.209-7.994, P=0.019) and 10-day regimen of favipiravir (OR=3.017, 95%CI: 1.526-5.964, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for favipiravir-associated serum uric acid elevation. Conclusions More than half of COVID-19 patients treated with favipiravir can develop serum uric acid elevation. Overweight and 10-day regimen of favipiravir are independent risk factors for serum uric acid elevation in patients.

    A 23-year-old male patient received moxifloxacin, recombinant human interferon α-2b for injection, and lopinavir and ritonavir for 7 days for novel coronavirus pneumonia. There was no abnor-malityof serum potassium. Moxifloxacin was stopped, Qingfei Paidu decoction(清肺排毒汤) was given, and then the patient′s serum potassium began to rise. On day 10 after taking the decoction, laboratory tests showed serum potassium 5.7-mmol/L and the patient was diagnosed with hyperkalemia. Insulin injection 4 U diluted to 5% glucose injection 250-ml was given once by IV infusion, and then the serum potassium decreased to 5.0-mmol/L 6 hours later and 4.6-mmol/L 2 days later. After 5 days, the serum potassium rose again and finally to 5.4-mmol/L on day 17 after taking the decoction. Insulin was given once that day and 2 days later once daily according to the previous method. Then the serum potassium decreased and did not rise again. The patient recovered from novel coronavirus pneumonia and was discharged on day 28 after hospitalization.

    Polymyxin B is mainly used in the treatment of severe drug-resistant gram-negative bacterial infection. In recent years, more and more cases of skin pigmentation caused by polymyxin B have been reported. The incidence of polymyxin B-related skin pigmentation in infants was higher than that in adults. The mechanism of polymyxin B-induced hyperpigmentation is not clear, which may be related to histamine release, skin inflammation, and the stimulation of melanin synthesis induced by polymyxin B. Although skin pigmentation has no significant effect on the treatment and prognosis in patients, it may cause psychological burden and affect the life quality, which should be paid more attention to and further studied.

    Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of R-budesonide nasal spray in the treatment of allergic rhinitis with those of budesonide nasal spray. Methods: A multi-center, randomized, open and parallel-controlled clinical trail was performed. Two hundred and twenty-two patients with allergic rhinitis were assigned randomly into two groups: experimental group (110 cases) and control group (112 cases). The patients in the experimental group received R-budesonide nasal spray 50 μg(2 puffs) into each nostril twice daily and the patients in the control group received budesonide nasal spray 64 μg (1 puff) into each nostril twice daily. The duration of treatment in the two groups was 14 days. The clinical effects were evaluated according to the symptom score reducing index regarded as the main index and the improvement in quality of life after therapy regarded as the secondary index. Results: 0The symptom score reducing index, the improvement in quality of life, and the incidence of adverse reactions were similar among the experimental group compared with the comtrol group, that is, 0.78±0.24 vs 0.76±0.23, 96.4% vs 94.6%, and 13.6% vs 14.3%. Conclusion: R-budesonide nasal spray has the same efficacy and safety as budesonide nasal spray in the treatment of allergic rhinitis.

    Febuxostat, a new selective xanthine oxidase inhibitor, is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2009 for the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia. The study on the "cardiovascular safety of febuxostat and allopurinol in patients with gout and cardiovascular comorbidities (CARES)", which was published in 2018, showed that febuxostat could increase the risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular related death in gout patients with cardiovascular disease. However, the subsequent clinical studies have not confirmed that febuxostat could increase the risk of cardiovascular events-related death. The inconsistent results of the studies on cardiovascular safety of febuxostat suggest that the gout patients with cardiovascular disease may benefit from continuous uric acid lowering therapy. However, during the process of using febuxostat, the risk of cardiovascular events and cardiovascular events-related death should be alerted, the combination medication and renal function of patients should be paid attention to, and the xanthine oxidase inhibitor withdrawal syndrome should be prevented.

    A 69-year-old male patient with peripheral T-cell lymphoma received chemotherapy with intravenous doxorubicin liposome. In the first chemotherapy cycle, no obvious adverse reactions appeared. In the second chemotherapy cycle, the patient developed transient muscle soreness during the IV infusion of doxorubicin liposome. In the third chemotherapy cycle, dexamethasone and chlorphenamine were given to prevent anaphylaxis before doxorubicin liposome treatment and the infusion rate was controlled in a standardized way. However, at about 20-minutes of infusion, the patient developed nausea and vomiting. The infusion of doxorubicin was stopped immediately and replaced by IV infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride injection 250-ml. Then the patient developed facial numbness, laryngeal pain, neck discomfort, and multiple parts of skin rash with pruritus. The electrocardiogram monitoring showed heart rate 130 times/min, blood pressure 80/50-mmHg, and oxygen saturation 0.98. The patient was given oxygen inhalation and in half-lying position following the doctor′s advice, but the patient developed dyspnea, hoarseness, and slurred speech 20-minutes later. Physical examination showed the patient′s tongue was hypertrophic, his neck was swollen and thickened. Acute laryngeal edema induced by doxorubicin liposome was considered. Intravenous injection of dexamethasone 10-mg, IV infusion of 10% calcium gluconate, and aerosol inhalation of budesonide inhalation aerosol were given immediately and about 3 hours later, the symptoms gradually improved. Two days later, the allergic symptoms disappeared.

    Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of vildagliptin tablets (the generic drug) manufactured by Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and vildagliptin tablets (the original drug) manufactured by Novartis Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in third round of national centralized volume-based procurement. Methods The study design was a multicenter retrospective cohort study. The study subjects were T2DM patients treated with vildagliptin tablets at the Outpatient Department of Zhuhai People′s Hospital, Zhongshan City People′s Hospital, Jiangmen Central Hospital, and General Hospital of Southern Theater Command of PLA from January 2020 to December 2021. Using the hospital electronic medical record system, medical records in outpatients who met the inclusion criteria were collected, and relevant clinical data were extracted. The patients were divided into generic drug group and original drug group. To exclude the interference of confounding factors, the propensity score matching method was used. The efficacy evaluation index was the magnitude of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) reductions within one year after administration. Generalized linear regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for the magnitude of HbA1c and FPG reduction. The safety evaluation index was the incidence of adverse events within one year of drug use. Results A total of 4-511 patients with T2DM who were treated with vildagliptin tablets were collected from 4 hospitals, including 3-039 in the generic drug group and 1-472 in the original drug group. After treatment, the HbA1c and FPG in patients of the 2 groups decreased compared with those before treatment. The magnitude of HbA1c and FPG reductions in patients of the generic drug group were not significantly different from those in the original drug group [0.50 (0.05, 2.30)% vs. 0.90 (-0.10, 1.70)%, Z=0.235, P=0.814; 0.59 (-0.40, 2.20) mmol/L vs. 1.00 (-0.61, 2.32) mmol/L, Z=0.421, P=0.674]. The results of generalized linear regression model analysis showed that the therapeutic drugs did not affect the magnitude of HbA1c and FPG reductions (P=0.627, P=0.478). Compared with the original drug group, the incidences of adverse events and hypoglycemia in the generic drug group were not statistically significant [1.6‰ (5/3-039) vs. 2.7‰ (4/1-472), P=0.721; 0.7 ‰ (2/3-039) vs. 0.7 ‰ (1/1-472), P=1.000]. Conclusion The efficacy and safety of generic vildagliptin tablets manufactured by Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. were generally consistent with those of the original drug in the treatment of T2DM.

    Objective To evaluate the postprandial bioequivalence of domestic and original glucosamine sulfate capsules in Chinese healthy volunteers. Methods The trial was a single-center, randomized, open-label, single-dose, 2-preparation, 3-sequence, 3-period, partially repeated crossover design. The trialed drugs were domestic glucosamine sulfate capsules Yisuojia (test preparation) and original glucosamine sulfate capsules Viartril- (reference preparation). Healthy subjects were randomly divided into 3 groups, each group took medicine in 3 periods, but the order of taking test preparation (T) and reference preparation (R) was different, which were TRR, RTR and RRT groups. The healthy volunteers in the TRR, RTR, and RRT groups received the trialed drugs orally 30-minutes after diet supply on day 1, 4, and 7, respectively. Peripheral venous blood samples 4-ml were collected at 1-2 hours after dinner the day before medication (baseline 1), within 60-minutes before medication (baseline 2), and 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, and 150-minutes and 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 14, and 16-hours after medication, respectively. Plasma was collected after centrifugation, frozen, and stored. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used for the determination of glucosamine concentrations in plasma samples and main pharmacokinetic parameters such as the area under the concentration-time curve(AUC), including areas from time zero (pre-dose) to the last measurable concentration (AUC0-t) and extrapolated to infinite time (AUC0-∞), and peak concentration (Cmax) were calculated. Because glucosamine was an endogenous substance in humans, the measured blood concentration of glucosamine was corrected by subtracting the baseline value before medication (the average of baseline 1 and baseline 2). The test and reference preparations were equivalent when the geometric mean ratios (GMR) and their 90% confidence intervals (CI) for AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, and Cmax all ranged from 0.800 to 1.250. Results A total of 30-healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study, including 20 males and 10 females, aged (31±7) years with a range of 18-45 years. Ten volunteers were included in each TRR, RTR, and RRT group. One volunteer fell off in the TRR group after the first period of medication and the remaining 29 volunteers completed the trial. The baseline uncorrected GMR (90%CI) of AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, and Cmax for the test and the reference preparations were 0.985 (0.941-1.031), 1.014 (0.961-1.070), and 0.937 (0.827-1.062), respectively; the baseline corrected GMR (90%CI) of AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, and Cmax of the test and the reference preparations were 0.977 (0.923-1.035), 0.976 (0.922-1.032), and 0.932 (0.817-1.063), respectively, which all fell within the equivalence range (0.800-1.250). During the trial, no adverse events related to the trialed drugs occurred in the 3 groups. Conclusion Domestic glucosamine sulfate capsules were bioequivalent to the original when taken after diet and had a good safety profile.

    Objective To understand the occurrence of intraoperative memory (dream, halluci- nation, and intraoperative awareness) following anesthesia with propofol and sufentanil and analyze its influen- cing factors in patients undergoing painless curettage of the uterine cavity. Methods The modified Brice questionnaire survey results in patients who underwent painless curettage of the uterine cavity under propofol and sufentanil anesthesia in Shuangqiao Hospital from January 2017 to September 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The memory of patients from anesthesia induction to consciousness recovery after anesthesia was evaluated, and the incidences of dream, hallucination (including sexual hallucination), and intraoperative awareness were calculated. The possible influencing factors (including age, weight, operation time, initial and total dose of propofol, and total dose of sufentanil) of intraoperative memory after anesthesia with propofol and sufentanil were analyzed using logistic regression method. Results A total of 2-142 patients were enrolled, aged (28.3±7.4) years and weighing (61.8±10.2) kg, with gestational age of (7.8±1.3) weeks and a median operation time of 5 (3-28) min; the initial dose of propofol was (94.1±20.9) mg, with a total dose of (110.0±39.8) mg; the total dose of sufentanil was (9.9±0.4) μg. Among the 2-142 patients, 1-038 (48.5%) had memory from anesthesia induction to consciousness recovery after anesthesia, 1-019 (98.2%) of which were defined as dreams, 19 (1.8%) as hallucinations, and no one had intraoperative awareness. Eleven of 1-038 patients were defined as having sexual hallucinations and the incidence was 0.5%. There was no significant correlation between the occurrence of intraoperative memory and age, weight, operation time, initial dose and total dose of propofol, and total dose of sufentanil (P>0.05 for all). Conclusion The anesthesia of propofol combined with sufentanil may lead to dreams and hallucinations in patients undergoing painless curettage of the uterine cavity, and occurrence of sexual hallucinations should be more paid attention to.

    Objective: To evaluate the safety of terazosin tamsulosin finasteride and their combination for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Methods: Correlative databases websites and medical journals were searched for the randomized clinical trials (RCTs) controlled clinical trials(CCTs) cohort studies and case reports about the serious adverse events available. The quality of the literature was evaluated the data were extracted and meta-analyzed if appropriate or otherwise would be described. Results: Nine RCTs one CCTs and three other studies met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis suggested that tamsulosin had a better safety profile than terazosin in the occurrence of dizziness headache orthostatic hypotension and discontinuations due to adverse reactions. There was no statistic difference between terazosin and tamsulosin in the occurrence of other adverse events. By comparison with finasteride terazosin caused more dizziness and there was no statistic difference between terazosin and finasteride in the occurrence of impotence and decreased libido. Tamsulosin and finasteride were compared in only one trial so a meta-analysis could not be done. However the results of this trial indicated that tamsulosin seemed to be safer than finasteride. Two studies compared terazosin and finasteride with their combination and found contradictory conclusions. Conclusion: According to the analysis it is concluded that tamsulosin may have a better safety and acceptability profile than terazosin. There is not enough evidence of finasteride causing more impotence and decreased libido. The safety of tamsulosin and finasteride can not be made definitely because of the insufficiency of information.

    A 55-year-old male patient with severe mitral valve insufficiency received long-time warfarin anticoagulation therapy after mechanical mitral valve replacement and the international standard ratio (INR) was 2.00-3.00. Because of oral ulcers, he took the water soaked with dandelion (Taraxacum mongolicum Hand-Mass.), which was self-purchased and sun-dried, for daily drinking. Fifteen days later, the patient developed chest tightness, shortness of breath, palpitation, and fatigue, followed by nausea, vomiting, mild edema of the lower limbs, orthopnea at night, ecchymosis on the right lower limb, and black stool successively. Laboratory tests showed hemoglobin 52-g/L, red blood cell count 2.05×1012/L. Gastrointestinal bleeding was considered, which might be related to the water soaked with dandelion drunk during warfarin therapy. Warfarin and water soaked with dandelion were stopped. The patient received symptomatic treatments including IV infusions of leukocyte-depleted red blood cell suspension 2 units (2 times in total) and esomeprazole 80-mg (twice daily), an intramuscular injection of vitamin K1-10-mg, and oral vitamin K1-20-mg. Two days later, the patient′s INR was 1.58, hemoglobin was 84-g/L, and red blood cell count was 2.33×1012/L. Five days later, his INR was 1.63, hemoglobin was 104-g/L, and red blood cell count was 3.92×1012/L.

    After administration of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2 vaccine of Pfizer/BioNTech incorporation and mRNA-1273 vaccine of Moderna incorporation), some vaccinators develop vaccination-associated lymphadenopathy (VAL). VAL usually occurs 2 to 4 days after vaccination, or 2 weeks later. The incidence of VAL after the second dose of vaccine is higher than that after the first dose. Some vaccinators develop VAL after both the first and second doses of vaccination. The clinical manifestations of VAL are enlarged lymph nodes with pain in axilla, supraclavicular, neck, and inguen on the same side of the inoculation site. Imaging examination shows enlarged lymph nodes with diffuse or focal cortical thickening, etc. The pathological diagnosis is benign reactive lymphadenopathy. VAL does not need treatment and generally subsides spontaneously 5 to 16 days after onset. The mechanism of lymphadenopathy after administration of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine is unclear.

    Objective To explore the risk signals of brigatinib-related adverse events (AEs) and provide reference for the safe use in clinical practice. Methods The US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database was searched and AE reports on brigatinib as the primary suspect drug from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2022 were collected. AEs were standardized and classified according to the preferred terms (PT) and system organ class (SOC) of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 24.0. Reported odds ratio (ROR) and proportional reporting odds ratio (PRR) methods were used to mine the AE risk signals of brigatinib. An AE with reports ≥3, ROR≥2, 95% confidence interval (CI) lower limit of ROR>1, or reports ≥3, PRR≥2, and χ2>4 was defined as a positive signal. Positive PT signals were analyzed using descriptive method. Results A total of 1-564 AE reports were included in the analysis, involving 672 PTs. After analysis using ROR and PRR methods, 52 PTs with positive risk signals were obtained, involving 16 SOCs. The top 10 PTs in report amount were fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, cough, abnormal serum creatine phosphokinase, dyspnea, headache, rash, vomiting, and hypertension, all of which were common AEs in the instructions. The top 10 PTs in signal intensity were pituitary infarction, radiation necrosis, elevated amylase, esophageal varices, early saturation, elevated lipase, abnormal serum creatine phosphokinase, pulmonary toxicity, prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time, and photosensitivity. Among them, the PTs ranked 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 8th, and 10th were not recorded in the label. Pneumonia and interstitial lung disease (ILD) were serious AEs, with 31 and 8 reports, respectively. In the 52 PTs, 28 were not included in the drug label, involving 12 SOCs. Conclusions The main adverse reactions of brigatinib were diarrhea, nausea, cough, and abnormal serum creatine phosphokinase and serious adverse reactions such as pneumonia and ILD were both reported, which were consistent with the common AE recorded in the drug label. In addition, brigatinib might cause pituitary infarction, radiation necrosis, pulmonary toxicity, photosensitivity, etc., which should be vigilant in clinical practice.

    Objective To establish a drug-related problems (DRPs) classification system for outpatients and home patients and provide healthcare staff with tools for standardized recording of DRPs. Methods DRPs classification systems-related literature were collected by searching foreign databases. The selected DRPs classification systems were compared and analyzed, and the initial DRPs classification system was formed by integrating the characteristics of pharmaceutical care for outpatients and home patients in China. The expert consultation form of DRPs classification system was made, expert consultation was performed for 2 rounds using Delphi method, and the final DRPs classification system was formed through modification and adjustment according to expert opinions. Results A total of 25 DRPs classification systems were obtained, of which 16 were selected and then integrated to form the initial version of the DRPs classification system. The primary structure of the initial DRPs classification system consisted of 5 parts: problem state, problem type, problem cause, problem intervention, and intervention result. Each part had different number of items, among which there were different number of secondary structure items in problem cause, problem intervention, and intervention result. In the first round of consultation, 32 experts were invited and 30 consultation forms were collected, with a recovery rate of 94%. In the second round of consultation, 30 experts were invited and 30 consultation forms were collected, with a recovery rate of 100%. After 2 rounds of consultation, the acceptance rates of experts for the question state, problem type, problem cause, question intervention, and intervention result in the primary structure were 100%, 90%, 83%, 83%, and 97%, respectively. For the evaluation of 5 categories of drug treatment (indications, effectiveness, safety, economy, and compliance) in DRPs classification system, except for that the expert authority coefficient of economics was 0.79, the expert authority coefficient of the other 4 categories of issues was all >0.8. In the first and second round of consultation, the coordination coefficient of expert opinions was 0.386 (χ2=995.258, P<0.001) and 0.364 (χ2=971.232, P<0.001), respectively. After modifying with expert opinions, a final version of DRPs classification system was formed, which included 38 primary structure items in 5 categories and 90-secondary structure items in 3 categories. Conclusion A DRPs classification system for outpatients and home patients suitable for China′s national conditions has been initially established, which can be used as a standardized recording tool for DRP.

    A 76-year-old male patient with unstable angina pectoris switched to an IV infusion of imipenem and cilastatin sodium 1.0 g once every 8 hours because of the ineffective treatment of pneumonia with amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium combined with levofloxacin. The platelet count (PLT) was 109×109/L before treatment. After 9 days of medication, the patient′s symptoms of cough and dyspnea were improved, his body temperature returned to normal, but he developed skin petechiae, accompanied by a small amount of epistaxis and hematuria. At the same time, his PLT was 0. Imipenem and cilastatin sodium was immediately discontinued, recombinant human thrombopoietin combined with methylpredniso- lone and human immunoglobulin were given, the patient′s PLT gradually increased and the bleeding symptoms disappeared. Ten days later, his PLT was 173×109/L. It is suggested that high-dose imipenem and cilastatin sodium should be used cautiously in elderly patients and the monitoring should be strengthened during the treatment.

    Objective: To evaluate the clinical safety following long-term use of simvastatin with usual dose in very elderly patients with angina pectoris. Methods: One hundred and sixty patients with angina pectoris over age 75 were selected for the research. The patients were assigned into simvastation group (in short: statin groups) and the control group, according to the second degree prevention criterion of cornary heart disease from Guideline in Prevention and Cure of Lipid Abnormality. Eighty-nine patients in statin group were administered simvastation 10-20 mg daily, besides anti-ischemia therapy, 71 patients in the control group received anti-ischemia therapy only. The treatment course was 12 months. Blood-lipid, blood-glucose, liver function, renal function and serum CK level were measured before treatment and druing the end of the first, third, sixth and twelfth month of the treatment, and a follow-up investigation with questionnaire and telephone interview was performed.Results: In statin group, the follow-up to ten patients were lose and one patient died. In the control group, the follow-up to eight patients were lose and 3 patients died. The comparison of adverse reaction incidence between statin group and the control group was as follows: elevated hepatic transaminase (5.1%, 5.0%, P>0.05), elevated creatine (3.8%, 5.0%, P>0.05), sleep disorder (10.3%, 10.0%, P>0.05) , dementia (5.1%, 5.0%, P> 0.05), gastrointestinal tract disorder (12.8%, 11.7%, P>0.05), and aggravated renal function (6.4%, 5.0%, P>0.05), there was no significant deference statistically between the two groups. Conclusion: Long-term use of simvastatin in an usual dose is safe for very elderly patients withangina pectoris.

    A 50-year-old female patient with diabetes mellitus took metformin hydrochloride sustained release tablets (metformin) 0.5 g once daily orally by herself for 3 courses. The patient had vomiting or diarrhea after each medication. At the nearest treatment, the patient took the drug for 4 days and yellowish skin and sclera and fatigue appeared 3 days after drug withdrawal. Laboratory tests showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 422-U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 166-U/L, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 276-U/L, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT) 369-U/L, total bilirubin (TBil) 383.0-μmol/L, and direct bilirubin (DBil) 269.9-μmol/L. After excluding the causes of viral hepatitis, autoimmune liver disease, and obstructive jaundice, liver injury caused by metformin was considered. Then metformin was stopped and treatments with magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate and Yinzhihuang granules (茵栀黄颗粒) were given. After 11 days of treat- ments, the above symptoms disappeared and the fatigue was alleviated. Laboratory tests showed ALT 225-U/L, AST 89-U/L, ALP 215-U/L, γ-GT 291-U/L, TBil 86.1-μmol/L, and DBil 44.6-μmol/L.

    A 78-year-old female patient with atrial fibrillation developed tarry stools after regularly taking dronedarone, metoprolol, and rivaroxaban for 3 months. The patient stopped using rivaroxa- ban by herself for 7 days, and her black stools was gradually improved. After taking rivaroxaban again for 1 month, black stools appeared again, accompanied by fatigue, dizziness, and amaurosis fugax. Her blood pres- sure was 90/50-mmHg, heart rate was 80 beats/min, and hemoglobin was 55-g/L. Rivaroxaban was discon- tinued again and supportive treatments such as soft food, acid suppression, fluid replacement, and blood transfusion were given. After 3 days of treatments, the symptoms of fatigue were improved significantly, and no amaurosis recurred when sitting up. Hemoglobin was 75-g/L. After 6 days of treatments, the patient dis- charged formed yellow soft stools. After excluding gastrointestinal tumors through gastroscopy and tumor mar- ker examination, it was considered that the interaction of dronedarone and rivaroxaban caused the increase of rivaroxaban plasma concentration, which resulted in gastrointestinal bleeding in the patient. The patient′s anticoagulant medication was changed to dabigatran etexilate, and no gastrointestinal bleeding occurred.

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of syndrome of inappropriate antidiu- retic hormone secretion (SIADH) induced by duloxetine. Methods The diagnosis and treatment of a patient with duloxetine-related SIADH who was admitted to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Nanjing University was reported, and the main clinical data (gender, age, prevalent diseases, use of duloxetine, combined medication, occurrence of SIADH, and intervention and outcome) of the case and related cases collected from the PubMed and Embase databases (up to December 31, 2021) were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Results A total of 27 patients were included in the analysis, including 6 males and 21 females, aged from 38 to 92 years with a median age of 74 years. duloxetine with daily dose of 20, 30, 40, 60-mg and unknown dose were in 5, 9, 1, 10 and 2 patients, respectively, and one patient with daily dose of 30-mg developed SIADH after a single overdose of 450-mg. Sixteen patients were treated with drugs that may cause hyponatremia or interact with duloxetine. Among them, 6, 2, 6, and 2 patients were treated with 1, 2, 3, and 4 drugs, respectively. The time from the beginning of duloxetine administration to the occurrence of SIADH, was 2 days to 36 months in 26 patients, with a median time of 3 days, except that one patient of overdose was 1 hour after administration, among which 21 patients occurred within 7 days. The main clinical manifestations of SIADH included nervous system symptoms (headache, dizziness, drowsiness, etc. in 20 patients), digestive system symptoms (nausea, vomiting, anorexia, etc. in 15 patients), and systemic symptoms (fatigue, limb weakness, etc. in 6 patients). When SIADH was diagnosed, the serum sodium level of the 27 patients was 98 to 132-mmol/L, with a median level of 117-mmol/L. The severity of SIADH with grade 1, 3, and 4 was in 1 (3.7%), 7 (25.9%), and 19 (70.4%) patients, respectively. After the diagnosis or suspicion of duloxetine-related SIADH, duloxetine was discontinued in all patients, fluid intake was restricted and sodium supplement was administered. Furosemide was given in 5 patients, and the serum sodium levels returned to normal within 2 to 15 days, with a median recovery time of 5 days. Conclusions Duloxetine- related SIADH mostly occurs within 7 days after the start of medication, and the degree is more serious. After stopping duloxetine, restricting the fluid intake, giving sodium supplement, and giving diuretics depending on the condition, the patient has a good prognosis.

    A 48-year-old female patient received chemotherapy with etoposide and carboplatin combined with whole brain radiotherapy for small cell lung cancer located in the right lung with brain metastasis. An IV infusion of toripalimab 240-mg once per 21 days in the 4th cycle of chemotherapy was combined due to tumor progression, and no radiotherapy was given again. After 7 courses of chemotherapy, the patient received monotherapy with toripalimab. On the 2nd day after the 5th administration of toripalimab, the patient developed obvious fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and repeated fever. Laboratory tests showed decreased corticotropin and cortisol (1.5-μg/L, 3.9-μg/L), increased prolactin (127.6-μg/L), and normal thyroid function. Excluding tumor occupation by pituitary magnetic resonance imaging, it was considered as hypophysitis caused by toripalimab. Symptoms disappeared after hydrocortisone replacement therapy was given. After the 9th administration of toripalimab, the patient developed polyuria, thirst, and nocturia. Laboratory tests showed decreased urine specific gravity and urine osmolality (1.010, 132-mmol/L). Diabetes insipidus as the manifestation of hypophysitis caused by toripalimab was considered. The above symptoms were improved after discontinuation of toripalimab and administration of desmopressin. After more than 3 months of the treatment, symptoms of diabetes insipidus disappeared. Then desmopressin was discontinued and diabetes insipidus did not recur.

    A 62-year-old male patient received aspirin, clopidogrel, and atorvastatin calcium after percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. One week later, the patient received anti-Helicobacter pylori (Hp) therapy with amoxicillin capsules, clarithromycin tablets, bismuth tartrate capsules, and pantoprazole sodium enteric coated tablets due to Hp infection, and two to three days after taking the drugs, the patient developed systemic fatigue, nausea, joint discomfort and muscle soreness, which were gradually aggravated. Laboratory tests showed muscle hemoglobin (MYO)>1-000-μg/L, serum creatinine (Scr) 69-mmol/L, urea nitrogen (BUN) 3.5-mmol/L, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 148-U/L, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 750-U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 850-U/L, g-glutamyl tran- speptidase (γ-GT) 181-U/L, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) 1-177-U/L, creatine kinase (CK) 8-144-U/L, CK-MB 255-U/L. Atorvastatin calcium was stopped, and symptomatic and supportive treatments such as alkalized urine and fluid replacement were given, and anti-Hp treatments were continued. However, the CK level was continued to increase. CK reached 15-794-U/L 4 days after atorvastatin calcium discontinuation. It was considered that the patient′s rhabdomyolysis might be related to interaction between atorvastatin calcium and clarithromycin. Then the anti-Hp drugs were discontinued. On the 2nd of drug withdrawal, the patients′ muscle soreness was alleviated than before; on the 4th day, CK and other serum enzymology indexes began to decline; on the 8th day, the patient′s fatigue and muscle soreness completely disappeared, with CK 908-U/L; on the 15th day, ALT was 105-U/L, AST was 42-U/L, γ-GT was 107-U/L, CK was 143-U/L, CK-MB was 29-U/L, and LDH was 339-U/L; 5 weeks later, the patient took atorvastatin again, myalgia and fatigue did not recur, and no abnormality was found in blood biochemical indexes.

    Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of arbidol in the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19). Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort studies, and case-control studies on the efficacy and safety of arbidol for COVID-19, influenza, and other respiratory virus infections were collected by searching related database at home and abroad and network platform for preprint of Health Science Papers (medRxiv) (up to April 25, 2020). Quality of the enrolled studies was evaluated by bias risk assessment tool of Cochrane collaboration network and Newcastle- Ottawa Scale (NOS). Meta-analysis and descriptive analysis of relevant outcome indicators were performed using RevMan 5.3-software. Results A total of 15-studies were enrolled in the study, including 7 cohort studies with high-quality and 8 RCTs, 6 of which were with low bias risk and the other 2 of which were with medium bias risk. Among these studies, 8 were on arbidol treatment for COVID-19, including 5 retrospective cohort studies, 2 prospective cohort studies, and 1 RCT, and involving 809 patients (479 patients in the arbidol group and 330 in the control group); 7 were RCTs on arbidol treatment for influenza or other respiratory virus infections, involving 1-471 patients (745 patients in the arbidol group and 726 in the control group).In these studies, patients were treated with arbidol (0.15-1.2 g daily for 5-21 d) in the arbidol group while with the other antiviral agents or without any antiviral drug in the control group. Meta analysis on the efficacy and safety of arbidol in treatment for COVID-19-showed that the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) nucleic acid negative conversion rate in the arbidol group was significantly higher than that in the control group [71.7% (109/152) vs. 58.8% (94/160), relative risk (RR)=1.30, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01-1.67, P=0.04]; the difference of time taken for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid negative conversion between the 2 groups was not statistically significant (standardized mean difference=-0.17, 95%CI: -0.72-0.38, P=0.55); the difference of disease improvement rate shown by chest CT on day 7 after treatment between the 2 groups was not statistically significant [46.2% (30/65) vs. 50.7% (36/71), RR=0.88, 95%CI: 0.39-1.98, P=0.76]; and the difference of incidence of adverse reactions between the 2 groups was not statistically significant [16.9% (39/231) vs. 19.2% (47/245), risk difference (RD)=-0.03, 95%CI: -0.10-0.04, P=0.44]. Meta analysis on the safety of arbidol in treatment for influenza and other respiratory virus infections showed that the incidence of adverse reactions in the arbidol group was significantly lower than that in the control group [5.9% (44/745) vs. 11.3% (82/726), RR=0.52, 95%CI: 0.37-0.74, P<0.01]. Conclusion Arbidol could effectively increase the 2019-nCoV nucleic acid negative conversion rate and it might be safe to treat COVID-19 using arbidol.

    Patients with cancer are at high risk for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Institutions for disease control and prevention and cancer-related learned societies in many countries recommend prioritizing cancer patients for COVID-19 vaccines. All the COVID-19 vaccines currently approved for emergency use, including inactivated vaccines, mRNA vaccines, recombinant adenovirus vector-based vaccines, and recombinant protein subunit vaccines, can be applied in cancer patients. Cancer patients with stable disease can be vaccinated against COVID-19 at any time, while patients with advanced-stage cancer or undergoing anticancer therapy should decide on the timing of vaccination according to the specific situation such as treatment methods and cancer type, etc.. The benefits of COVID-19 vaccination in cancer patients may outweigh the risks, but the immune response rate may be lower in cancer patients, especially in patients with haematological malignancies, than in healthy individuals.

    A 64-year-old male patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus received metformin 0.5 g thrice daily, acarbose 100-mg thrice daily, and saxagliptin 5-mg once daily orally. The patient developed itching and erythema symptoms during the treatments. The patient learned that metformin could cause adverse reactions such as pruritus and rash by reading the drug label. Then the metformin was stopped by himself and his skin symptoms were relieved within a few days. Due to elevated blood glucose, the patient took metformin again and developed erythema and papules 2 days later, but he didn′t stop the drug. After that, swelling of both lower limbs, accompanied by skin erosion and exudation appeared gradually. Laboratory tests showed that eosinophil count was 0.66×109/L. Drug eruptions caused by metformin was considered. All oral hypoglycemic drugs were stopped and symptomatic treatments such as antihistamine and glucocorticoid were given. Five days later, his erythema and papules gradually subsided, and erosive surface of both lower limbs crusted without exudation. Laboratory tests showed eosinophil count 0.06×109/L. Dermatitis did not recur after the patient switched to insulin to control blood glucose.

    A 25-year-old female patient took Congrong Tongbian oral liquid 20-ml once daily by herself for constipation. After 3 months of intermittent medication, the patient gradually developed dark urine and yellowish skin and sclera, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite; 4 months later, laboratory tests showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 1-359-U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 859-U/L, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 160-U/L, total bilirubin (TBil) 131.5-μmol/L, and direct bilirubin (DBil) 99.3-μmol/L. Liver injury caused by Congrong Tongbian oral liquid was considered, then the drug was discontinued, and IV infusions of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate injection 200-mg dissolved in 5% glucose injection 250-ml once daily and polyene phosphatidylcholine injection 20-ml dissolved in 5% glucose injection 250-ml once daily were given. After the above treatments, the patient′s symptoms were gradually improved. Two weeks later, the patient′s urine color was basically normal, gastrointestinal symptoms disappeared, and liver function showed ALT 137-U/L, AST 87-U/L, ALP 126-U/L, and TBil 34.9-μmol/L. At a 2-month follow-up, the patient′s liver function returned to normal. The patient′s liver injury was most likely related to the Polygonum multiflorum in Congrong Tongbian oral liquid.

    It was a very common phenomenon that an original drug was replaced by a generic drug after its patent expires. In order to further verify the efficacy and safety of domestic generic drugs selected in the national centralized volume-based procurement, the National Healthcare Security Admini stration guided a number of medical institutions to carry out large-scale real-world studies on clinical efficacy and safety of generic drugs, involving drugs for treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, neuropsychiatric diseases, chronic hepatitis B, and tumor, and anesthetics. More than 110 thousands patients were included in the study. Evidence from real world studies and randomized controlled trials can complement each other. Because of the diversity of data, the complexity of design, the high requirements of analytical methods, and the uncertainty of the interpretation of results in the real world studies, higher requirements for the safety and efficacy evaluation and regulatory decision-making of generic drugs are put forward. Possible recommendations to constantly promote the scientificalness and standardization of the production and use of real world evidence are as follows: further strengthen the informatization construction in medical institutions and promote the standardization and convenience in real world data use, improve the scientificalness of research design and data processing, explore and improve the real world evidence quality evaluation criteria, strengthen the awareness of data security and pay attention to the participants′ privacy protection, etc.

    Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are recommended as first-line therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolic diseases in relevant guidelines at home and abroad. Compared with warfarin, DOACs have relatively fixed dose, fewer drug interactions, and no need of routine therapeutic drug monitoring in clinic. DOACs bring much convenience to anticoagulant therapy, but they also raise a series of new medication safety challenges. Pharmacists should ensure the safe use of DOAC through improving corresponding pharmaceutical care mechanism, such as assisting doctors to improve the suitability of dose in prescription, standardizing laboratory monitoring process, setting up early warning of potential drug interaction, and strengthening anticoagulant conversion and perioperative anticoagulant therapy management. In the post-coronavirus disease 2019 era, incorporating DOACs into the standardized management at anticoagulation clinics is an important work extension of the traditional anticoagulation clinics and may reduce the risk of exposure to the novel coronavirus. In addition, considering the limit in labour and work energy of clinical pharmacists, the application of DOAC-related clinical decision support system may help improve the appropriateness of prescription and reduce the adverse drug events.

    ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of cyclosporine on serum creatinine (Scr) levels in patients with nephrotic syndrome.MethodsThe medical record data of patients, who received the treatment with cyclosporine, diagnosed as nephrotic syndrome by renal biopsy, and hospitalized in Guangdong General Hospital from April 2010 to June 2014, were collected and retrospectively studied. Before treatment, all patients′ Scr were less than 200 μmol/L. Increase of the Scr levels by more than 10%-20%, 21%-30%, and >30% of the baseline value were defined as mild, moderate, and severe increase, respectively (severe increase of Scr is considered as renal toxicity). Changes of Scr levels before and after cyclosporine treatment, relationship between the blood concentration of cyclosporine and increase of Scr were analyzed.ResultsA total of 78 patients were enrolled in this study. Of them, 52 were males and 26 were females with age from 14 to 77 years and an average age was (43±20) years. From the results of pathological types, 14 cases had minor lesion, 12 cases had focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and 52 cases had membranous nephropathy. The average level of Scr before treatment was (94±48) μmol/L. After one week treatment, the average level of Scr in 78 patients was (103±61) μmol/L and the difference was statistically significant compared with that before treatment (P<0.05). Of the 78 patients, 30 cases (38.5%) had increased Scr levels; mild, moderate, and severe increase was seen in 9, 11 and 10 patients respectively. The incidence of renal toxicity was 12.8% (10/78). There were no statistically significant differences in Scr levels between 1, 3, and 6 months of treatment (all P> 0.05). In patients with different pathological types including minor lesion, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and membranous nephropathy, the incidence of Scr increase were 28.6% (4/14), 33.3% (4/12), and 42.3% (22/52), respectively (P>0.05) and the incidence rate of renal toxicity were 7.1% (1/14), 16.7% (2/12), and 13.5% (7/52), respectively (P>0.05). The incidence of increase of Scr rose gradually with the increase of cyclospo-rine concentration. In patients with cyclosporine concentrations of ≤200 ng/ml and >200 ng/ml, the incidence of increase or severe increase of Scr were 32.2% (19/59) and 57.9%, respectively (χ2=4.008,P=0.045); the incidence of renal toxicity was 8.5% (5/59) and 26.3% (5/19), respectively (P>0.05).ConclusionsSerum creatinine may increase mildly to moderately at early stage of treatment with cyclosporine in patients with nephrotic syndrome and could be controlled effectively with timely intervention. The increase of Scr may be related to blood cyclosporin concentration. Blood cyclosporin concentration should be monitored regularly during the treatment and the drug dosage should be adjusted according to the result of monitoring.

    Methamphetamine(MA), commonly called as ice, is a stimulant of the family of phenethylamines, which is one of widely abused illicit drugs in the world. Methamphetamine increases the release and blocks the reuptake of the monoamine neurontransmitter, such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, leading to high level of the chemicals in the synaptic cleft and inducing psychological and physical effects. Methamphetamine users may develop euphoria, increased physical activity and hypersexuality. Sudden withdrawal of methamphetamine in methamphetaminedependent subjects may result in abstinence reactions including sleep disturbance, depressed mood, anxiety, agnosia, and decreased physical activity. A methamphetamine abstinence reaction can be categoried into two phases: the acute phase (lasting 7~10 days), and the subacute phase (lasting a further 2 weeks). The relapse rates to the methamphetaminedependent subjects is rather high. Preventing the occurrence of relapse is of very important practical siginifance.

    Objective To understand the occurrence of systemic adverse reactions in patients with simple allergic rhinitis (AR) after receiving subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) with standardized dicid allergen injection. Methods The clinical data of AR patients who completed the whole course of SCIT with standardized mite allergen injection in AR Diagnosis and Treatment Center in Department of Otolaryngology, the Third People′s Hospital of Changzhou from August 1st, 2015 to July 31st, 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The course of SCIT was 156 weeks, comprising 4 stages. The first 14 weeks was the dose increase phase, in which standardized mite allergen injection was given once a week and the dose was gradually increased from 5 TU in the 1st week to 5-000 TU in the 14th week; the weeks 15-52, 53-104, and 105-156 were the dose maintenance phase, in which the injection was given once every 5 weeks at the dose of 5-000 TU. According to the number of injections, the incidence of systemic adverse reactions in patients of different gender and age at different stages of the course of treatment and after injection at different doses were counted, and the types [according to the time of occurrence, the adverse reactions were divided into immediate type(≤30-min) and delayed type(>30-min)], classification (grade 1-5), clinical manifestations, and outcome of adverse reactions were analyzed. Results A total of 302 patients were enrolled in the study, including 175 males and 127 females, aged from 5 to 60 years. Of them, 187 patients were ≤14 years old and 115 were>14 years old. Three hundred and two patients received 13-687-subcutaneous injections totally and 46 patients in 120 times of injection had systemic adverse reactions. The incidence of adverse reactions was 15.23% (46/302) according to the number of cases and 0.88%(120/13 687) according to the number of injections. Among the 120 times of systemic adverse reactions, 55 (45.83%) were immediate type and 65 (54.17%) were delayed type. The adverse reactions belonged to grade 1 in 94 times of injections (78.33%, mainly manifested as nasal itching, eye itching, cough, pruritus, etc), grade 2 in 23 times of injections (19.17%, mainly manifested as asthma, diarrhea, etc), and grade 3 in 3 times of injections (2.50%, 2 mainly manifested as no response to inhaled bronchodilator and 1 as laryngeal edema). There was no significant difference in the incidences of systemic adverse reactions between the male and female patients [0.94% (76/8-091) vs. 0.79% (44/5-596), χ2=0.89, P=0.35]. The incidence of systemic adverse reactions in patients ≤14 years old was higher than that in patients >14 years old [1.14% (97/8-536) vs. 0.45% (23/5-151), χ2=17.59, P<0.01]. The incidence of systemic adverse reactions in weeks 16-52 [1.86%(40/2-153)] was higher than those in the first 14 weeks [0.99% (51/5-169)], weeks 53-104 [0.72% (23/3-194)], and weeks 105-156 [0.19% (6/3-171)], and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=9.40, P<0.01; χ2=14.30, P<0.01; χ2=41.69, P<0.01). The incidence of systemic adverse reactions at the injection dose of <5-000 TU was higher than that at the injection dose of 5-000 TU [1.11%(51/4-579) vs. 0.76%(69/9-108),χ2=4.45,P=0.04]. The systemic adverse reactions were self-relieved or could be relieved after the intervention and the outcome was good. Conclusions The incidence of systemic adverse reactions in AR patients who completed the whole course of SCIT with standardized dicid allergen injection was 0.88%, which mainly belonged to grade 1 adverse reactions. Children of ≤14 years old, during the week 16 to 52 of treatment, at the injection dose of <5-000 TU were more likely to have systemic adverse reactions.

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of patients with severe lacrimal duct obstruction caused by tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil potassium (S-1). Methods The medical records and follow-up data of the surgical inpatients with severe lacrimal duct obstruction caused by S-1 in Lacrimal Center of Ophthalmology, the Third Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2017 to January 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Results A total of 12 patients were enrolled in this study, including 7 males and 5 females, aged (53±8) years. The time of oral administration of S-1 was (4.1±1.1) months, and the time from the beginning of administration of S-1 to the onset of epiphora symptoms was (53.3±31.2) days. All the 12 patients had binocular diseases (involving 12 cases, 24 eyes) and obstruction of both upper and lower lacrimal canaliculi (involving 48 lacrimal canaliculi). Among the 48 obstructed lacrimal canaliculi, 45 (93.8%) were severe, and 3 (6.2%) were moderate. The 8 lacrimal points of the upper and lower lacrimal canaliculi in both eyes of the 2 patients were completely atresic. In 12 patients, 16 eyes in 8 patients were complicated with complete obstruction of nasolacrimal ducts and 8 eyes in the other 4 patients were complicated with incomplete obstruction of nasolacrimal ducts. Eight patients underwent laser dacryoplasty combined with bicanalicular intubation assisted by lacrimal canaliculus micro-endoscopy. After taking off the tubes, epiphora was relieved in 5 patients but not improved in the other 3 patients. Two patients underwent retrograde exploration to probe canaliculi transdacryocyst combined with bicanalicular intubation. After taking off the tubes, epiphora was relieved. Two patients underwent retrograde exploration to probe canaliculi transdacryocyst combined with dacryocystorhinostomy. After taking off the tubes, epiphora was improved obviously and only slight epiphora was found. Conclusions Severe lacrimal duct obstruction caused by S-1 was characterized by extensive multiple obstruction. Appropriate surgical treatment can improve the symptoms of epiphora in some patients.

    Objective To compare the safety of the generic and the original regorafenib tablets. Methods Two single center, randomized, open-label, 2-period self-crossover phase I clinical trials (single dose) were conducted under fasting condition and with low-fat meal respectively in healthy adult volunteers. The test preparation (T) of regorafenib was produced by Beijing Sl Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd. and the reference preparation (R) was produced by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Inc. In the 2 trials, male healthy subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups, respectively, and took 2 times of the preparations with different order in each group, which were R-T group (subjects took R on day 1 and then T on day 13) and T-R group (subjects took T on day 1 and then R on day 13). The subjects took drugs under fasting condition and with low-fat meal in the 2 trials respectively. After medication, vital signs detection, electrocardiogram, general physical examination, blood routine, blood biochemical, coagulation function, and other tests were performed regularly, and the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) were recorded and the severity of AEs was assessed. Results Sixty-four subjects were enrolled in the trial under fasting condition, including 32 in the T-R group and 32 in the R-T group, and the safety data was obtained from 61 and 57-subjects taking T and R, respectively. Seventy-six subjects were included in the postprandial trial, including 38 in the T-R group and 38 in the R-T group, and the safety data was obtained from 74-subjects taking T and R, respectively. In the 2 trials, there was no significant difference in the incidence of AEs between subjects taking T and those taking R [41.0% (25/61) vs. 31.6% (18/57), χ2=1.125, P=0.289; 56.8% (42/74) vs. 45.9% (34/74), χ2=0.183, P=0.188]. A total of 230 AEs occurred in the 2 trials, of which 228 cases were grade 1 (99.1%, 131 and 97 AEs occurred in subjects taking T and R, respectively), 2 cases were grade 2 (0.9%, 1 AE occurred in subjects taking T and R, respectively), and no grade ≥ 3 AEs occurred. The types of AEs occurred in the 2 trials were the same, of which bradycardia was the most common, followed by prolonged QT interval of ECG. All ECG abnormalities were found during routine examinations, and no subjects had obvious clinical symptoms. Conclusion The safety of the generic and the original regorafenib tablets was consistent after a single dose administration under fasting condition and with low-fat meal.

    Objective To explore the occurrence and risk factors of bleeding events in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) patients treated with ticagrelor combined with aspirin. Methods The study subjects were selected from ACS patients who were admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University from January to December 2017 and treated with ticagrelor and aspirin (aspirin 100-mg/d, ticagrelor 180-mg/d). Medical records of the patients who met the inclusion criteria(at age>18 years, with medication duration ≥ 1 year, and with complete follow-up records) were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into bleeding group and non-bleeding group according to whether there were bleeding events within 1 year. Baseline clinical characteristics such as gender, age, type of ACS, comorbidities, combined drugs, history of percutaneous coronary intervention, routine blood parameters, liver and kidney function, and etc. in patients between 2 groups were compared. The risk factors of bleeding events were analyzed using logistic regression method and the odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Results A total of 180 patients were entered in the analysis, including 135 males and 58 females, aged (57±10) years, with the range of 31 to 81 years. There were 39 patients in the bleeding group and 141 patients in the non-bleeding group, and the incidence of bleeding events was 21.7%. None of the differences in gender distribution, age, comorbidities, history of percutaneous coronary intervention or combined drugs in patients between the 2 groups were statistically significant (all P>0.05). The platelet count of patients in the bleeding group was significantly lower than that in the non-bleeding group [(197±49) ×109/L vs. (220±60) ×109/L, t=2.254, P=0.025]. The shortest time from medication to the onset of bleeding of the 39 patients in the bleeding group was 14 days and the longest one was 12 months. The cumulative incidences of bleeding events at 3, 6, and 12 months of medication were 12.2% (22/180), 18.3% (33/180), and 21.7% (39/180), respectively. All bleeding events were minor bleeding, and the skin mucous ecchymosis had the highest incidence, which was 15.0% (27/180), followed by gingival bleeding or nosebleed, which was 7.2% (13/180). The incidence of fundus hemorrhage was 1.7% (3/180) and incidences of gastrointestinal bleeding and hematuria were both 0.6% (1/180). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low platelet count was an independent risk factor for bleeding events [OR=0.991, 95%CI: 0.984-0.999, P=0.020]. Conclusions ACS patients have a relative high risk of bleeding events when treated with ticagrelor combined with aspirin, but most of them were minor. For ACS patients with low platelet counts, this anti- platelet regimen should be used with caution and drug monitoring should be done in the whole course.

    A 73-year-old male patient with myelodysplastic syndrome received deferasirox dispersible tablets (deferasirox) 500-mg once daily for post-transfusion iron overload. Renal function examination showed no obvious abnormality. Ten months later, the dose of deferasirox was increased to 1-000-mg once daily due to ineffective iron overload treatment. About 1 month after the dose adjustment, the patient′s fatigue was aggravated. Laboratory tests showed blood urea (BUN) 11.5-mmol/L, serum creatinine (Scr) 143-μmol/L, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 45-ml/(min·1.73 m2). Kidney injury was diagnosed, which was considered to be induced by deferasirox. Then deferasirox was stopped and Corbrin capsule (百令胶囊) was given. About 1 month after drug withdrawal, renal function of the patient was improved [BUN 9.1-mmol/L, Scr 111-μmol/L, and eGFR 60-ml/(min·1.73 m2)]. Due to the iron overload, deferasirox was re-given at dose of 1-000-mg once daily. About 1 month after medication, the kidney injury recurred [BUN 9.7-mmol/L, Scr 131-μmol/L, and eGFR 49-ml/(min·1.73 m2)]. The dose of deferasirox was reduced to 500-mg once daily immediately and 3 month later, renal function of the patient was improved [BUN 8.8-mmol/L, Scr 104-μmol/L, and eGFR 65-ml/(min·1.73 m2)].

    Immunosuppressants can be used to treat a variety of pediatric diseases. However, at present, the information on children′s drug use in drug labels are insufficient, the drug specifications and dosage forms are lacking, and off-label prescribing is more common. The pathophysiological status and drug metabolism characteristics in children are obviously different from those in adults, and the immune system is not yet mature, so the risk in drug use is higher than that in adults. It is necessary to find a balance between insufficient and excessive immunosuppression. However, it is difficult for infants to feed drugs, and children and adolescents have poor treatment compliance in the absence of guardian management, which may lead to reduced efficacy or treatment failure. It is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of adverse reactions and treatment drug monitoring of immunosuppressants therapy in children, and carry out research on pharmacogenomics to ensure the safety of immunosuppressants in children from multiple dimensions.

    A 66-year-old male urothelial carcinoma patient with liver and lymph node metastasis received an IV infusion of paclitaxel for injection (albumin bound) 400-mg on day 1 and tegafur, gimeracil and oteracil potassium capsules 50-mg orally twice daily on day 1 to day 14, the interval was 1 week, and each cycle was 21 days. A total of 9 cycles of chemotherapy were performed. The patient complained of priapism occurring about 15-hours (about 1: 00 of the next morning) after intravenous infusion of paclitaxel (albumin bound) in the cycles 1-5 and 7-9, which could disappear about 2 hours later. No special treatment was given. After that, paclitaxel for injection (albumin bound) was not used, and the patient did not have the above symptoms again after changing to immunotherapy as disease progresses. It was considered that the patient′s priapism might be related to paclitaxel for injection (albumin bound).

    Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sodium valproate in the prevention of epileptic seizure during the perioperative period in neurosurgical patients. Methods The medical records in patients, who were treated with sodium valproate during perioperative period in Neurosurgery Department of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from March to June 2021, were collected and data including the basic information in patients, use of sodium valproate and the combination drugs, valproic acid blood concentration (reference range: 50-100-mg/L), and adverse reactions was recorded. The effects of the first intravenous dose of valproate and the combination drugs on the blood concentration of valproic acid and the efficacy and safety of sodium valproate in preventing epileptic seizure were analyzed. Results A total of 107 patients were enrolled, including 48 males and 59 females, aged (54±13) years. The median total dose of sodium valproate administered intravenously was 5-600-mg (range: 800-17-600-mg), the median duration of intravenous therapy was 3 days (range: 1-10 days), and the blood concentration of valproic acid was (53.5±19.6) mg/L. The median hospital stay was 16 days (range: 6-49 days) and no patients had seizures during hospitalization. The first intravenous dose of sodium valproate was insufficient in 38.3% (41/107) of the patients and the valproic acid blood concentration and its compliance rate to the reference range in these patients were significantly lower than those in the patients with appropriate first intravenous dose [(43±21)mg/L vs. (60±16)mg/L, P<0.001; 22.0%(9/41) vs. 78.5% (51/65), P<0.001]. Carbapenems was used for 1 day in combination with sodium valproate in 6 patients, 3 of whom had the blood concentration that was lower than the reference range. However the difference in the blood concentration of valproic acid between patients with and without carbapenems use was not statistically significant[(43±26) mg/L vs. (54±19) mg/L, P=0.187]. In the 107 patients, a total of 60 adverse events occurred in 49 patients (45.8%), including hyperammonemia in 33 patients (30.8%) , elevated activated partial thromboplastin time in 12 patients (11.7%), hypofibrino- genemia in 3 patients (2.9%), hyponatremia in 6 patients (5.6%), liver injury in 4 patients (3.7%), and kidney injury and thrombocytopenia in 1 patient (0.9%) each. The severity of adverse reactions was grade 1, 3, and 4 in 39, 9, and 1 patient, respectively. The incidence of serious adverse reactions of grade 3 and above was 9.3% (10/107). Of the 10 patients with serious adverse events, 7 had hyperammonemic encephalopathy, 2 had liver injury, and 1 had hyperammonemic encephalopathy and liver injury. One patient who developed grade 3 adverse reaction died due to primary disease (brain tumor with stroke). Conclusions The use of sodium valproate during perioperative period in neurosurgery patients to prevent epileptic seizures is safe and effective in general, but adverse reactions such as elevated blood ammonia, liver injury, and coagulation dysfunction may occur. Insufficient first intravenous dose and concomitant use of carbapenems may affect the blood concentration of valproic acid, which should be paid attention to.

    Porphyrias are a group of metabolic disorders caused by the accumulation of porphyrin and its precursor substances due to enzyme defects in heme biosynthesis. The use of porphyrinogenic drugs is the main inducement of severe acute porphyria attack (APA) in porphyria gene carriers. Delta-aminolevulinic acid synthase 1 (ALAS1) in the liver is the rate-limiting enzyme of heme biosynthesis chain, which is negatively regulated by the free heme pool in liver. The core mechanism of drug-triggered APA is that drugs induce increases of the transcription and synthesis of ALAS1 in the liver through various pathways, congenital enzyme defect becomes the rate-determining step in porphyria gene carriers, a large amount of porphyrin or precursor substances accumulate in the body due to the inability to convert them into hemoglobin, and thereby APA occurs. Predicting the porphyrogenicity of drugs according to clinical experience and the che- mical structure, action mechanism, cell and animal test data of drugs can provide guidance to APA use in clinic and reduce its medication risk. However, the accuracy of prediction needs to be verified by medication data in clinical practices, and the response to porphyrinogenic drugs in porphyria gene carriers also has significant variabilities. When prescribing for porphyria gene carriers, potential risks of drug-triggered porphyria should be highly vigilant about, and drugs selection should be carefully; the delay of the treatment of other diseases due to using drugs too cautiously also should be avoided.

    To explore the clinical characteristics of perioperative euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA) induced by sodium‑glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. Methods The case reports of perioperative euDKA caused by SGLT2 inhibitors published up to June 30, 2019 were collected by searching the relevant databases and the following information of patients including demographic characteristics, types of diabetes, use of SGLT2 inhibitors, onset time and clinical manifestation of euDKA, the blood glucose and pH, serum bicarbonate and anion gap, β-hydroxybutyric acid and ketone body concentration in urine when diagnosing euDKA, predisposing factors of euDKA, as well as the treatments and outcomes were collected. The clinical characteristics of perioperative euDKA induced by SGLT2 inhibitors were analyzed descriptively. Results A total of 27 patients (from 20 articles) were collected, including 13 males and 14 females with an age of (58±12) years; 26 patients were with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 1 with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Of them, 15 cases were treated with canagliflozin, 6 cases were treated with dapagliflozin, and 6 cases were treated with empagliflozin; the onset time of euDKA was 10 hours to 10 days after operation and within 3 days after operation in 21 cases (77.8%); 24 cases had similar symptoms as ketoacidosis and 3 cases had no obvious symptoms; the blood glucose was (9.5±2.2) mmol/L when diagnosing euDKA and the other laboratory test results were similar to those of ketoacidosis. The main factors inducing euDKA were operation and low carbohydrate diet. After the occurrence of euDKA, all patients received insulin and rehydration the- rapy, and then 26 cases (96.3%) got better and 1 (3.7%) died. Conclusions The perioperative euDKA mainly occurred within 3 days after operation. The main inducing factors of euDKA were operation and low carbohydrate diet. After insulin and rehydration therapy, most patients had a good prognosis.

    Objective To explore the effect of amiodarone combined with rivaroxaban on the plasma concentration of rivaroxaban in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Methods This study was designed as the prospective cohort study. The subjects were selected from patients with atrial fibrillation who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology of Beijing Hospital from January to October 2019 and treated with rivaroxaban (≥3 days). The enrolled patients were divided into the with amio- darone combination group and the without amiodarone combination group. The trough concentration and peak concentration of rivaroxaban were detected by chromogenic substrate method with anti-Xa assay kit. Taking the plasma concentration of patients with a daily dose of 20-mg of rivaroxaban as the standard,plasma concentrations in patients with various daily doses of rivaroxaban were standardized. The measured plasma concentrations,standardized plasma concentrations,and plasma concentrations in patients at daily dose of 20-mg of rivaroxaban were respectively compared between the 2 groups. Results A total of 65 patients were entered in the study, including 12 patients in the with amiodarone combination group (the daily dose of rivaroxaban was 20-mg) and 53 patients in the without amiodarone combination group (the daily doses of rivaroxaban were 20, 15, and 10-mg in 42, 9, and 2 patients, respectively). The differences in gender, age, weight, body mass index, smoking history, CHA2DS2-VASc score, HAS-BLED score, daily dose of rivaroxaban, liver and kidney function, and platelet count of patients between the 2 groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05 for all). The trough and peak plasma concentrations of rivaroxaban in the with amiodarone combination group were higher than those in the without combination amiodarone group, but the differences were not statistically significant [(43±30) ng/ml vs. (38±26) ng/ml, t=0.569, P=0.571; (294±114) ng/ml vs. (251±87) ng/ml, t=1.473, P=0.146]. The differences in standardized trough and peak plasma concentrations of rivaroxaban [(41±28) ng/ml, (273±108) ng/ml] in patients between the 2 groups, and the trough and peak plasma concentration [(40±27) ng/ml,(249±75) ng/ml] of patients at daily dose of 20-mg of rivaroxaban were not statistically significant (P>0.05 for all). Conclusion Amiodarone has no significant effects on the plasma concentration of rivaroxaban in patients with atrial fibrillation, however, it is still necessary to strengthen the patient monitoring in those with combination use of the 2 drugs.

    A 70-year-old male patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus was treated with sitagliptin phosphate (sitagliptin) on the basis of previous oral metformin hydrochloride due to poor glycemic control. After 16 days of medication, the patient developed erythema and blisters with itching on the skin of the limbs. Laboratory tests showed that the white blood cell count was 12.2×109/L, neutrophil count was 8.5×109/L, and eosinophil count was 4.56×109/L. Histopathological examination of the skin lesion showed blisters under the epidermis, intact epidermis at the top of the blisters, dermal papillae at the bottom of the blisters, serous fluid and eosinophils in the blisters, and slight infiltration of eosinophils in the superficial dermis under the blisters. Bullous pemphigoid was diagnosed, which was considered to be related to sitagliptin. Therefore, the drug was discontinued. One week later, erythema and blisters gradually disappeared and no erythema or blisters recured.

    With the continuous deepening of the research on tumor pathogenesis, more and more innovative oncology drugs have been approved on the market, mainly including targeted antitumor drugs and immune checkpoint inhibitors. These new antitumor drugs have the advantages of high specificity, precise targeting, good efficacy, and low toxicity to greatly improve the patient quality of life and prognosis. However, because of the different types and monitoring methods of their adverse drug reactions from those of the traditional chemotherapy ones, the research on these drugs from aspects of prediction of adverse drug reactions, the relationship between adverse drug reactions and gene polymorphisms, and the therapeutic drug monito- ring are still necessary to be further researched.

    Objective To explore the correlation between immediate hypersensitivity induced by pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) and the plasma anti-polyethylene glycol (anti-PEG) antibody in advanced breast cancer patients. Methods The study was designed as a prospective and noninterventional study. The subjects were selected from advanced breast cancer patients in Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, who received monotherapy with PLD (an IV infusion of PLD 50 mg/m2 in 5% glucose solution 250 ml for 90 minutes without pretreatment with dexamethasone or other drugs). Anti-PEG antibody before administration were detected for all the patients and antibody level >2-ng/L was defined as positive. Blood in patients who had hypersensitivity within 30-minutes after the start of infusion was collected (finding the opportunity as soon as possible) and IgE, C3, and C4 levels in serum were detected. According to whether there was an immediate hypersensitivity reaction, the patients were divided into hypersensitivity group and non-hypersensitivity group and the clinical characteristics and plasma anti-PEG antibody carrying status in patients between the 2 groups were compared; according to anti-PEG antibody carrying status, the patients were divided into anti-PEG antibody positive group and negative group and the clinical characteristics and the incidence of hypersensitivity in patients between the 2 groups were compared. Results A total of 12 patients were included in the study, aged from 37 to 68 years with a median age of 50 (37-68) years. Ten patients had previously used non-pegylated anthracyclines and the median cumulative dose was 329 (185, 418) mg/m2 after a doxorubicin equivalent dose conversion. Seven patients developed hypersensitivity within 2-18-minutes after the start of infusion. Between the hypersensitivity group and the non-hypersensitivity group, differences in clinical characteristics such as age, height, weight, body surface area, previous application of anthracyclines, and the cumulative doses in patients were not significant (all P>0.05); the difference in positive rate of anti-PEG antibodies in patients was also not statistically significant (4/7 vs. 2/5, P=1.000). Among the 12 patients, 6 were positive for anti-PEG antibody and 6 were negative and the differences in the above-mentioned clinical characteristics or the incidence of hypersensitivity (3/6 vs. 4/6) in patients between the 2 groups (all P>0.05) were not significant. In the hypersensitivity group, IgE, C3, and C4 levels in serum were detected in 4 patients. Two patients with positive anti-PEG antibody had increased IgE levels (404 and 545 μg/L, respectively), 1 of which had also increased C4 level (486-mg/L); the other 2 patients with negative anti-PEG antibody had normal IgE, C3, and C4 levels. Conclusions It has not been found that PLD-induced immediate hypersensitivity is related to the anti- PEG antibody, which may be due to the small sample size of the study. It cannot be ruled out that anti-PEG antibody may be involved in the induction of the IgE-mediated immediate hypersensitivity, which may also be mediated by complement in some patients.

    A 75-year-old male patient with lung cancer received intravenous infusion of sintilimab 200-mg on day 1, 21 days as one cycle. Three days after the 5th cycles of treatment, the patient developed edema of lower limbs and yellowish skin on whole body. Laboratory tests showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 914-U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 622-U/L, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 385-U/L, total bilirubin (TBil) 152.6-μmo1/L, direct bilirubin (DBil) 87.9-μmol/L, indirect bilirubin (IBil) 64.7-μmol/L and total bile acid (TBA) 25.8-μmol/L. The liver injury caused by other reasons was excluded by laboratory and auxiliary examination, and it was diagnosed as drug-induced liver injury, which was considered to be related to sintilimab. Drugs such as reduced glutathione, compound glycyrrhizin, ademetio- nine, polyene phosphatidylcholine, magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate, and ursodeoxycholic acid successively were given. The patient′s edema of lower limbs and yellowish skin gradually subsided.

    Objective To establish active surveillance programs of lung injury associated with programmed cell death 1 receptor (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1(PD-L1) inhibitors. Methods The US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System was searched and case reports on PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-related lung injury from 2016 to 2020 were collected. Relevant guidelines/consensus and the labels of 5 PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors (sintilimab, camrelizumab, nivolumab, tislelizumab, and atezolizumab) that were available in Beijing hospital were collected. Through comprehensive analysis on above information, a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-associated lung injury risk signal set was formed. Using the user-defined function of adverse drug reaction intelligent monitoring system in the hospital information system (HIS) and technologies of trigger tool and text information extraction, the risk signals were matched to the 4 data modules (text module, doctor′s order module, test module, and examination module) in the intelligent monitoring system and the initial surveillance program was established. The initial program were optimized after 1 month of trial operation and an active surveillance program formed finally which matched the HIS electronic medical record system and conformed to the doctors′ habits in electronic medical records writing in our hospital. The electronic cases of all patients who treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors during hospitalization in our hospital from October 1, 2020 to August 6, 2021 were collected. The feasibility and accuracy were validated by applying this program to explore lung injury risk signals. Results The initial program involved 3 modules in the intelligent monitoring system other than the test module. The text module identified 6 trigger keywords/phrases and 18 exclusion keywords/phrases, the physician order module identified trigger drugs (5 PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and 3 kinds/classes of drugs for treating or alleviating lung injury), and the examination module identified that chest CT examination was performed and any one of the 6 trigger keywords/phrases appeared in the CT examination report. If the risk signals in the 3 modules was probed simultaneously in one patient, it was an early warning case. After a trial run of 1 month, 5 exclusion keywords/phrases were added, a class of drugs for treating or alleviating lung injury was deleted, and some modification was done in verbal statement. Electronic medical records of 303 inpatients within the set time was inspected using the surveillance program, and 41 early warning cases were detected. Through manual reviewing and causality evaluation, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-related lung injury was conformed finally in 15 patients (5.0%), and the recognition accuracy of the program was 36.6% (15/41). Conclusions The surveillance program of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-related lung injury was successfully established. The preliminary surveillance results showed that the program had good feasiblity and accuracy.

    A 62-year-old male patient with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma received immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy regimen (intravenous infusions of tislelizumab 200-mg on day 1, paclitaxel liposome 240-mg and nedaplatin 120-mg on day 2, 21 days as a cycle) for a total of 4 cycles. The patient′s condition was partially relieved. Then the treatment was changed to intravenous infusion of tislelizumab 200-mg on day 1 and tegafur, gimeracil and oteracil potassium 40-mg in the morning and 60-mg in the evening by mouth from the first day to the 14th day, 21 days as a cycle. Only one cycle was given. After the last treatment (the 98th day of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy), the patient developed acute muscle weakness, sensory impairment, and decreased tendon reflexes. Nerve conduction and electromyography showed peripheral nerve damage in the limbs. Peripheral neuropathy caused by tislelizumab was considered. The patient received the treatments of methylprednisolone sodium succinate, mecobalamin, and vitamin B1. Nine days later, his symptom of myasthenic was improved, and pain and warm sensation was recovered gradually. Since then, the patient had not been treated with immunotherapy.

    A 69-year-old male patient with retroperitoneal sarcoma received anlotinib capsules (12-mg orally once daily for 14 days, interruption for 7 days) and sintilimab injection (IV infusion of 200-mg on the first day) and 21 days was a cycle. He had no history of diarrhea and previous enteroscopy showed no obvious abnormality. So the diarrhea, which occurred after 18 days of treatments, was considered to be related to the combination use of anlotinib capsules and sintilimab injection. Above 2 drugs were stopped and hormone and symptomatic treatments were given. Six days later, the patient′s diarrhea was improved, and enteroscopy showed colitis. Considering the primary disease, the patient was treated with oral anlotinib capsule monotherapy with the same dose as before. Two days later, the patient had diarrhea again, which was more serious than before, and the anlotinib capsules were stopped again. After 14 days of hormone shock therapy, anti-infection therapy, and symptomatic treatments, the patient′s diarrhea was improved.

     A 51-year-old male patient received ibuprofen intermittently for loin and leg pain for 4 years and regularly (0.2 g, thrice daily) due to the aggravation of pain for 2 years. Then the patient developed nausea and vomiting. Laboratory tests showed red blood cell count 2.13×1012/L, hemoglobin (Hb) 59-g/L, serum creatinine (Scr) 897-μmol/L, uric acid 457-μmol/L, and urine protein (+). Abdominal CT scan showed that both kidneys were with reduced volume, uneven surface, and papillary calcification. The patient was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease stage 5. It was considered that the patient′s chronic kidney disease might be associated with long-term administration of ibuprofen, according to his medication history and clinical presentations. Ibuprofen was discontinued immediately and the patient was given symptomatic treatments including fasting, temporary hemodialysis via jugular vein cannulation, and remedying anemia. Meanwhile, the efficient vascular access was established for long-term hemodialysis. After 7 days, the patient was fed with liquid diet through nasal feeding tube and no symptoms like abdominal distention, nausea, or vomiting appeared. After 22 days, semi-fluid diet was given. After 27 days, his Scr was 531-mmol/L and Hb was 84-g/L.The patient was told not to take nephrotoxic drugs such as ibuprofen, and if necessary, oral acetaminophen (maximum daily dose ≤ 3 g) and analgesic patches for topical use were recommended.

    A 62-year-old female patient with bladder cancer received intravesical instillation of pirarubicin hydrochloride for injection (pirarubicin) after operation (30-mg dissolved into 5% glucose injection 30-ml was injected into the bladder through a catheter, and the instillation fluid was retained for 40-minutes). No adverse reactions occurred in the first 12 times of instillation. Seven months after operation, when the 13th instillation was performed for about 30-min, the patient developed numbness of lips, hands, and feet, profuse sweating, generalized flush, loss of consciousness, incontinences of fecal and urine, undetectable blood pressure, and heart rate of 110 beats/min. Anaphylactic shock caused by pirarubicin was consi- dered. The bladder instillation fluid was drained immediately and treatments of anti-allergy, cardiotonic, and raising blood pressure were given. The patient′s blood pressure returned to 70/50-mmHg and consciousness recovered after 1 hour. Two and a half hours later, the patient developed systemic edema and rashes. Anti- allergy treatments were re-given. The rashes disappeared 3 days later and edema subsided 11 days later.

    A 61-year-old male patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma received BeEAM pre-treatment measures such as bendamustine, cytarabine, etoposide, and melphalan for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Anti-infective treatments such as aciclovir, posaconazole, levofloxacin, biapenem, and vancomycin were administered successively.Before the pre-treatment of transplantation, the patient′s blood potassium was 4.1-mmol/L, and after 7 days of treatment with posa- conazole and levofloxacin, the blood potassium was 3.4-mmol/L. Intravenous and oral potassium supple- mentation was administered. After 5 days of potassium supplement, the patient developed atrial fibrillation, with blood potassium level of 3.3-mmol/L. After continuing potassium  supplement for 7 days, his blood potassium level remained 3.0-mmol/L. After excluding causes of other drugs, it was considered that hypokalemia might be related to posaconazole. The posaconazole was discontinued and switched to voriconazole; 3 days later, his blood potassium returned to 4.2-mmol/L. During a 3-month of follow-up, multiple examinations showed that the blood potassium levels were within the reference range.

    Objective To understand the status quo and problems of insulin application at home in patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods Pharmacists in many hospitals across the country were organized to conduct a questionnaire survey on status quo of insulin application in patients with diabetic mellitus, so as to understand their insulin use, insulin injection behavior, insulin treatment adherence, glucose monitoring adherence, insulin preservation behavior, rate of up to target blood glucose, and the incidence of adverse reactions such as hypoglycemia. The questionnaire contained 50 questions, the accuracy rate of 21 questions related to insulin application norms was calculated, and the effect of insulin application behavior of patients on the efficacy and safety of insulin therapy was investigated. Results Clinical pharmacists from 31-hospitals across the country participated in the questionnaire distribution and survey, and 240 valid questionnaires were returned. Among the 240 patients, 106 (44.2%) were male and 134 (55.8%) were female, aged (58±15) years; 210 (87.5%) had type 2 diabetes mellitus, 25 (10.4%) had type 1 diabetes mellitus, and 5 (2.1%) had other types; 151 (62.9%) patients were treated with one kind of insulin, 89 (37.1%) were treated with 2 kinds of insulin, and a total of 13 kinds of insulin were involved; 97.9% (235/240) of the patients had at least one wrong or irregular insulin use behavior, 75.0% (180/240) had at least one problem related to insulin treatment adherence, 70.4% (169/240) had poor glucose monitoring adherence, and 68.8% (165/240) had at least one irregular insulin preservation behavior. The rate of up to target blood glucose was only 13.8% (33/240), and the incidence of hypoglycemia was 55.8% (134/240). The total correct rates of answers to insulin use behavior and treatment adherence in patients with up to target blood glucose were significantly higher than those in patients without up to target blood glucose [71.4% (57.1%, 81.0%) vs. 61.9% (52.4%, 71.4%), P=0.045; 77.8% (55.6%, 88.9%) vs. 66.7% (55.6%, 77.8%), P=0.023], and differences in the correct rate of answers to insulin use behavior and each behavior between the patients with and without hypoglycemia were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Conclusions Insulin has a wide variety and similar drug names, which are easily confused, leading to medication errors. The incidence of irregular insulin injection behavior, treatment adherence, and insulin preservation behavior in patients is high, which may affect the rate of up to target blood glucose.

    Dual target therapy of dabrafenib combined with trametinib (DabTram) plays an important role in the treatment of malignancies. Ocular toxicities are adverse reactions which are relatively uncommon but potentially serious in DabTram treatment. At present, there is a lack of systematic research on ocular toxicities caused by DabTram, leading to insufficient understanding of this problem. In this paper, the literature on DabTram-related ocular toxicities are systematically reviewed, especially focusing on the incidence, clinical characteristics, mechanisms of occurrence, therapeutic measures and so on, and the corresponding management pathways in clinical medication were proposed to provide references for safe use of DabTram in clinic.

    Objective To explored the clinical characteristics and risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by vancomycin combined with piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium (VPT) in adult patients with severe infections. Methods Clinical data of adult patients with VPT?related AKI (AKI group) hospitalized at the Affiliated Hospital of Gansu Medical College and People′s Hospital of Hengshui from January 2022 to August 2023 due to severe infections were collected. The occurrence time, severity, and prognosis of AKI in the AKI group were descriptive statistically analyzed. According to the ratio of 1∶1, patients in the control group were randomly selected from those who did not develop AKI after using VPT in the same period. The general information, disease status, baseline laboratory tests results, and the application of VPT and combined drugs, etc. in patients of the 2 groups were collected. The influencing factors of AKI caused by VPT were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results A total of 1?547 adult patients with severe infections were treated with VPT, of which 175 (11.3%) deve- loped AKI. Among the 175 patients, 81 (46.3%) were male and 94 (53.7%) were female, with an age of (55±22) years; the time from VPT treatment to the occurrence of AKI was (4±1) days, and the severity of AKI was staged as grade 1, 2 and 3 in 97 (55.4%), 54 (30.9%), and 24 (13.7%) patients, respectively. After drug withdrawal, the renal function gradually recovered in 169 (96.6%) of the 175 patients with AKI, and 6 (3.4%) patients needed continuous renal replacement therapy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the trough concentration of vancomycin >20?mg/L [odds ratio (OR)=2.105, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.427-3.105, P=0.022], the duration of vancomycin treatment ≥11 days (OR=1.518, 95%CI: 1.232-1.871, P=0.014), the duration of piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium treatment ≥14 days (OR=1.826, 95%CI: 1.152-2.894, P=0.029) and longer duration of combined vasoactive drugs (OR=3.315, 95%CI: 1.428-7.695, P=0.005) were independent risk factors for VPT?related AKI. Conclusions VPT? related AKI in adult patients with severe infections mostly occurs within one week of combination therapy, and the severity was mostly stage 1 and 2. The trough concentration of vancomycin >20?mg/L, longer course of VPT treatment, and longer time of combined vasoactive drugs can increase the risk of VPT?related AKI.

    Due to the characteristics of cytotoxicity, vascular toxicity, and immunotoxicity, anticancer drugs may be more likely to cause kidney injury than other drugs. It is an important content in anti  tumor treatment to fully understand the clinical manifestations and risk factors of anticancer drug related renal injury, and evaluate the disease severity reasonably, so as to better adjust the anticancer schedule. Thus, the Japanese Society of Nephrology, Japan Society of Clinical Oncology, Japanese Society of Medical Oncology, and Japanese Society of Nephrology and Pharmacotherapy have jointly formulated the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Kidney Injury During Anticancer Drug Therapy 2022 and made special discussions and suggestions on the definition, evaluation methods, main clinical manifestations, and risk factors of drug induced kidney injury in cancer patients after receiving anticancer drug treatments. This article interprets this part of the content in order to make more effective guidance in clinical practice.

    Objective To mine and compare the adverse event (AE) signals of allopurinol and febuxostat and provide reference for the rational and safe use of the 2 drugs in clinic. Methods The AE reports on allopurinol and febuxostat from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2021 were collected by searching the US Food and Drug Administration Public Data Open Project (openFDA) database. AEs were classified using preferred term (PT) and systemic organ class (SOC) of the International Medical Terminology Dictionary 25.0. The AE risk signals of allopurinol and febuxostat were mined using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method. The number of AE reports ≥3 and the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the ROR>1 was defined as a positive signal. The new AE risk signals of allopurinol and febuxostat were screened according to the drug labels. The radar chart was drawn according to the number of allopurinol and febuxostat risk signals. The positive PT signals were descriptively and statistically analyzed. Results The number of AE reports of allopurinol and febuxostat were 105-532 and 9-949, respectively. The analysis of the top 100 AE reports were as follows. There were 82 positive PT signals of allopurinol, involving 14 SOCs, and 61 AEs were not recorded in the drug labels; there were 86 positive PT signals of febuxostat, involving 18 SOCs, and 25 AEs were not recorded in the drug labels. The top 5 PTs in the signal strength of allopurinol were drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, end-stage renal disease, hypercalcemia, acute kidney injury, and chronic kidney disease; the top 5 PTs in the signal strength of febuxostat were enthesopathy, granu- loma skin, blood parathyroid hormone decreased, tenosynovitis and alanine aminotransferase abnormal. The 2 drugs had a total of 49 overlapping signals. More AE signals of allopurinol were detected in SOCs of meta- bolic and nutritional diseases, blood and lymphatic system diseases etc.; more AE signals of febuxostat were detected in SOCs of skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases, various musculoskeletal, and connective tissue diseases, etc. Conclusions Allopurinol has a higher risk of causing AEs related to kidney and urinary system, blood and lymphatic system, and metabolic system, while febuxostat has a higher risk of causing AEs related to skin and subcutaneous tissue, musculoskeletal and connective tissue, and hepatobiliary system. It is suggested that patients with gout accompanied by renal insufficiency, urinary system diseases or blood disea- ses should be careful with allopurinol, and the patients with gout accompanied by liver dysfunction should be careful with febuxostat.

    ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of detecting adverse drug event (ADE) using Global Trigger Tool (GTT) in Chinese medical institutions.MethodsDischarged patients′ records of the Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 1st to December 31st 2013 were collected. After sorting by discharged date, 30 cases were selected in a half month period by a random sampling tool of Microsoft Excel 2007 software. Unqualified cases were eliminated according to the inclusion criteria (patients aged 18 and over, one time admission in 2013, and hospitalization for more than 1 day) and exclusion criteria (patients in the Department of Obstetrics, Family Planning, Rehabilitation, Oncology, Pediatrics, and day-care ward). The 20 cases were reviewed every half a month in sequence of random sampling using 35 triggers, including laboratory indexes, antidotes, clinical symptoms, and treatment measures, that were identified by GTT recommendation, relevant foreign researches, and self-experience of Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University. All cases were enrolled if the number of cases which met the inclusion criteria was less than 20. The cases in whom triggers could be detected were marked as the cases with positive triggers. The cases with positive triggers-related situations were further reviewed in order to identify or exclude ADE and then the identified ADEs were classified. The positive triggers and ADEs were analyzed by Microsoft Excel 2007 software and the positive predictive values of positive triggers were calculated.ResultsTotally 465 cases were reviewed. Of them, 256 were male and 209 female with the mean age of 57 (19~92) years. The time of hospital stay was 2 to 37 days with the mean hospital stay of 10 days. Of the 465 patients, in 208 patients(44.7%)positive triggers could be detected. Of all the 35 triggers, 22 triggers (62.9%) were positive referring to 342 times. There were 18 ADEs identified involving 16 patients and the detectable rate was 3.4% (16/465). Of the 18 ADEs, 13 ADEs had their corresponding triggers containing 8 triggers. The overall positive predictive value of 22 positive triggers was 3.8%. The 18 ADEs included pneumonia (2 ADEs), liver injury (2 ADEs), chill (2 ADEs), skin rash (2 ADEs), antibiotic-associated diarrhea (1 ADE), headache (1 ADE), dizziness (1 ADE), nausea and vomiting (1 ADE), hypoglycemia (1 ADE), over-sedation (1 ADE), delirium (1 ADE), bleeding (1 ADE), leucopenia (1 ADE), and excitation (1 ADE). There were 14 ADEs of class E and 4 ADEs of class F in the 18 ADEs which referred to 21 drugs including 5 kinds of antibacterial agents, 3 kinds of blood system drugs, 3 kinds of psychotherapeutic agents, 2 kinds of cardiovascular drugs, 2 kinds of hormone drugs, 2 kinds of Chinese patent medicines, 1 kind of lipid drug, 1 kind of drug acting bone metabolism, 1 kind of antipyretic analgesic, and 1 kind of anesthetic.ConclusionsGTT could help to early detect the signals of ADEs and provide the reference evidence of preventing drug risk. It is valuable that GTT is popularized and used in Chinese medical institutions.

    A 73-year-old male patient was given intravenous infusion of ketorolac tromethamine injection 60-mg diluted in 0.9% sodium chloride injection 250-ml once daily for gouty arthritis. At about half of the third infusion, he developed dull pain in the stomach, but did not pay much attention to it. Then vomiting (with blood in the vomitus) and melena accompanied by epigastric discomfort occurred later. The symptoms were considered to be related to ketorolac tromethamine injection, the drug was stopped, and the patient′s condition was observed. But the above symptoms continued and worsened, and palpitation, dizziness, fatigue, hematemesis, fresh blood on defecation, syncope, etc. occurred. The patient′s blood pressure was 58/33-mmHg and hemoglobin was 92-g/L. Gastroscopy and pathological examination showed multiple ulcers in antrum and the angle of the stomach, chronic superficial and erosive gastritis, duodenal bulbar inflammation, and Helicobacter pylori (+). The patients were diagnosed with peptic ulcer and hemor- rhagic shock. Norepinephrine, somatostatin, esomeprazole, and nutritional and supportive treatments were given, and 2 weeks later, the patient gradually recovered and the fecal occult blood was negative.

    Objective To explore the effect of dose adjustment based on doxofylline blood concentration monitoring on safety of combination of doxofylline and terbutaline for respiratory diseases.  Methods The subjects were selected from patients who received doxofylline injection, terbutaline sulphate solution for nebulizationor, and the combination of the two drugs and hospitalized in Department of Respiratory Medicine of Zhengzhou Second People′s Hospital from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were divided into 3 groups: doxofylline group, terbutaline group, and combination of doxofylline and terbutaline group (combination group). All patients in the 3 groups were given conventional treatments and symptomatic treatments. Doxofylline 300-mg once daily was given by an IV infusion and terbutaline 2-ml (5-mg) thrice daily was given by atomized inhalation for 7-14 days. Adverse reactions in the 3 groups were compared. The dosage of doxofylline in patients with adverse reactions of grade 1 was adjusted to 250-mg once daily, 200-mg once daily for patients with adverse reactions of grade 2, and doxofylline was stopped in patients with adverse reactions of more than grade 3. The blood concentration of doxofylline, the proportion of the patients whose adverse reactions were alleviated or disappeared, the length of hospital stay, and the efficiency of treatment before and after dose adjustment of doxofylline in patients in the doxofylline group and the combination group were compared. Results A total of 6-582 patients were entered in the study. Of them, 1-438 patients were in the doxofylline group, including 793 males and 645 females with age of (61±11) years; 2-217 patients were in the terbutaline group, including 1-281 males and 936 females with age of (60±15) years; 2-927 patients were in the combination group, including 1-644 males and 1-283 females with age of (63±12) years. The differences in gender, age distribution, basic disease, combined disease, and combination medication among the 3 groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The overall incidences of adverse reactions in the 3 groups were 13.1% (189/1-438), 8.9% (197/2-217), and 21.2% (620/2-927), respectively, which was higher in the combination group than that in the doxofylline group (χ2=41.271, P<0.001) and the terbutaline group (χ2=142.766,P<0.001) and higher in the doxofylline group than that in the terbutaline group (χ2=16.738,P<0.001). The incidences of tremor and headache in the combination group were higher than those in the other 2 groups(P<0.001), the incidence of hyperglycemia was higher than that in the doxofylline group(P=0.003), the incidence of insomnia was higher than that in the terbutaline group(P<0.001), the incidence of tachycardia was higher than that in the terbutaline group(P<0.001), the incidence of nausea was lower than that in the doxofylline group(P<0.001)and higher than that in the terbutaline group(P<0.001), the incidence of mood disorders was higher than that in terbutaline group (P=0.017). No adverse reactions of more than grade 3 occurred in the 3 groups, the difference in proportions of patients with adverse reactions of grade 1 and grade 2 was not statistically significant(χ2=1.097,P=0.578). The difference in blood concentration of doxofylline in patients with adverse reactions between the combination group and the doxofylline group was not statistically significant before dose adjustment (P>0.05), but all decreased after dose adjustment (all P<0.001) and the blood concentration of doxofylline in the combination group was lower than that in the doxofyllin group [(8.38±2.19) μg/ml) vs. (10.64±2.55) μg/ml, P<0.001]; the proportion of patients whose adverse reactions were alleviated or disappeared in the combination group was higher than that in the doxofylline group [40.81% (253/620) vs. 30.16% (57/189), P=0.008], the hospitalization time was shorter than that in the doxofylline group [(10±2) d vs. (15±3) d, P<0.001], the treatment efficiency was higher than that in the doxofylline group [531 (85.65%) vs. 136 (71.96%), P<0.001]. Conclusion When doxofylline injection is combined with terbutaline solution for nebulizationor, the blood concentration of doxofylline can be controlled at (8.38±2.19) μg/ml by monitoring the blood concentration of doxofylline, which can not only improve the treatment efficacy, but also improve the medication safety.

    The term of drug-induced taste disorders refers to agusia, dysgusia, and hypogusia due to drugs. More than one hundred drugs can cause taste disorders. The main drugs causing taste disorders are anti-infectives, cardiovascular drugs, drugs used in neuropsychopathy, and antineoplatics. One of the plausible mechanisms of druginduced taste disorders is the reduction of zinc concentration in human body. Drug-induced taste disorders can negatively influence appitite, food intake, quality of life, emtional state, and importantly, medication compliance. Therefore, doctors should care for the druginduced taste disorders occurring in clinical practice.

    The serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening adverse reactions that results from therapeutic drug use. The mechanisms are attributed to the increase on activity of serotonergic system because 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) accumulates in nervous system and 5-HT postsynaptic receptors are overactivated. The clinical feature is described as a clinical triad of mental-status changes, autonomic hyperactivity, and neuromuscular abnormalities. The syndrome often occurs in coadminstration among antidepressants or combination with other drugs. The diagnosis of the serotonin syndrome is mainly based on the clinical manifestation. Management of the serotonin syndrome involves the cessation of precipitating drugs, improvement of monitoring, control of agitation, administration of 5-HT antagonists, symptomatic treatment, the control of complication, etc. The prevention of the syndrome is more important than the treatment.

    Objective To explore the effect of drug metabolism gene polymorphisms on blood concentration and safety of tacrolimus (TAC) in children with refractory nephrotic syndrome (RNS). Methods The study was designed as prospective observational clinical study. The subjects were selected from the children with RNS who were hospitalized in Department of Pediatrics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 1, 2018 to August 31, 2019 and planned to receive TAC (first application) at the basis of glucocorticoids treatment. Clinical research files were formed and clinical conditions within 6 months of TAC treatment were recorded in detail for all subjects. The peripheral venous blood of all children was collected on the 7th day after TAC application for TAC blood trough concentration detection, and the TAC dose was adjusted according to the results. Blood samples were collected at the right time during hospitalization and gene polymorphisms of adenosine triphosphate binding cassette transporter B1 (ABCB1), cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19, CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group I, member 2 (NR1I2) were detected. Children who completed 6 months of TAC treatment and follow-up were included. According to the genotype detection results, children were divided into wild-type group, heterozygous mutant group, and homozygous mutant group and first dose-adjusted blood trough concentration (C/D) of TAC were compared; they were divided into mutation carrier group (including heterozygous mutation carriers and homozygous mutation carriers) and wild-type group and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared. Results A total of 39 children were included in the analysis, including 24 males and 15 females, aged 3 to 13 years with a median age of 8 years. The comparison results of the first C/D of TAC among various genotype groups showed that the TAC C/D in children of CYP2C19-homozygous mutant (*2*2) group was higher than that of wild-type (*1*1) group [3.65 (2.78, 7.43) μg/L vs. 1.53 (1.27, 3.33) μg/L, P=0.032], TAC C/D in children of CYP3A5 homozygous mutant (*3*3) group was significantly higher than those of the wild-type (*1*1) group and heterozygous mutation (*1*3) group [3.68 (3.05, 5.14) μg/L vs. 2.10 (0.77, 3.56) μg/L and 1.74 (1.47, 3.25) μg/L, P=0.046, P=0.009], and no significant differences were found in TAC C/D among different genotypes in CYP3A4, ABCB1, or NR1I2 (all P>0.05). A total of 7 children had adverse reactions within 6 months of TAC treatment (Naranjo′s assessment scale, "probable" in 2 children and "possible" in 5 children), including infection, rash, hypertensive encephalopathy, and convulsions in 4, 1, 1, 1 child, respectively. The incidence of adverse reactions in ABCB1 mutation carrying children (CT and TT) was significantly higher than that in children of wild-type (CC) group [30.4% (7/23) vs. 0 (0/16), P=0.033]. Conclusion CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms have significant effects on TAC blood concentration, and ABCB1 gene polymorphisms have significant effects on the safety of TAC application, which should be noticed in clinic.

    Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of ixazomib in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in the real world. Methods Relevant databases at home and abroad were searched (up to April 2022), and the literature on real-world studies of ixazomib in the treatment of RRMM was collected. The quality of the literature was evaluated with the methodological index for non-randomized studies (MINORS) scale. Data such as the effectiveness rate and incidence of adverse events in RRMM patients treated with ixazomib were extracted. The effectiveness indicators included the overall response rate (ORR), very good partial response or better (≥VGPR) rate and median progression-free survival (PFS). The safety indicators included the incidence of adverse events (AEs) and the rate of treatment termination due to AEs, etc. Stata 13.0-software was used for meta-analysis of single proportions, and the occurrence of major adverse events was analyzed by descriptive statistics. Results A total of 12-studies were entered, including 1-006 patients. The quality evaluation results showed that all of the 12-studies were with high quality. The meta-analysis of single proportions showed that ORR of ixazomib in the treatment of RRMM was 65%[95% confidence interval (CI): 58%-72%], ≥VGPR rate was 32% (95%CI: 25%-38%), the median PFS was 21.73 (95%CI: 14.37-29.08) months, the incidence of ≥ grade 3 AEs was 39% (95%CI: 24%-55%), and the incidence of treatment termination due to AEs was 6% (95%CI: 3%-10%). AEs with an incidence of ≥10% included neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, infection, anemia, diarrhea, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, rashes, and bone pain. Conclusion In the real world, the efficacy of ixazomib in the treatment of RRMM is lower than that in clinical trials, but the safety is similar.

    Contrast induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a serious complication after contrast- enhanced CT scanning. Since the incidence of CI-AKI after contrast-enhanced CT scanning is very low, it is particularly important to screen the high-risk population of CI-AKI for targeted prevention using the risk assessment model. In this paper, 6 risk prediction models for CI-AKI after contrast-enhanced CT scanning are retrieved by searching the literature at home and abroad, including Herts′ prediction equation, Kim′s nomogram prediction model, Huang′s scoring prediction model, Moos′s risk factor prediction model, Jeon′s risk scoring prediction model, and Baek′s risk scoring model for CI-AKI prognosis in patients with chronic kidney disease. The predictive factors involved in the 6 models include estimated glomerular filtration rate, serum creatinine, and serum albumin before contrast-enhanced CT scanning, patient′s age, history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease, development of acute hypotension or congestive heart failure, and repeated use of contrast. Baek′s risk scoring model is used to predict the development and outcome of CI-AKI in patients with chronic kidney disease after contrast-enhanced CT scanning, while the other 5 models are prediction models for the risk of CI-AKI after contrast-enhanced CT scanning. However, the performance indicators of these 6 models are incomplete and lack of external verification by other researchers.

    A 63-year-old male patient with prostate cancer was treated with bicalutamide (50-mg orally, once daily) combined with goserelin sustained-release implant (10.8-mg subcutaneously once every 3 months), and 27 months later, goserelin was replaced by leuprorelin sustained-release microspheres (3.75-mg subcutaneously once a month). At the 32nd month after bicalutamide treatment, the patient developed progressive dyspnea and decreased physical activity without obvious inducement. At the 36th month after administration of bicalutamide, the patient developed mild edema of both lower limbs. Cardiac color Doppler ultrasound showed that the diameters of left and right atrium were 48 and 45-mm respectively, the left ventricular diameters at end systole and end diastole and the right ventricle diameter were 49, 57, and 28-mm respectively, and the left ventricular ejection fraction was 28%. Laboratory test showed that the precursor of B-type brain natriuretic peptide was 4-533-ng/L. Dilated cardiomyopathy caused by bicalutamide was considered. Bicalutamide was discontinued, leuprorelin was injected subcutaneously at a dose as before, and metoprolol, sacubitril and valsartan, and spironolactone were given. After one month of treatment, the patient′s above symptoms disappeared. Cardiac color Doppler ultrasound showed that the diameters of left and right atrium were 40 and 44-mm, respectively, the left ventricular diameters at end systole and end diastole and the right ventricle diameter were 44, 53, and 29-mm, respectively, and the left ventricular ejection fraction was 36%.

    ObjectiveCompare criteria of eight countries such as United States for potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) in elderly, to provide a reference for formulating China′s PIM criteria. MethodsUsing the database and network, the authors collect the PIM criteria in elderly that has been released from the inception to December 2012. Eight countries PIM criteria were selected and their development method, expert panel′s composition and contents were compared.ResultsPIM criteria from a total of eight countries including the United States, Canada, Japan, France, Norway, Germany, South Korea and Austria were selected for the analysis. Except the United States PIM criteria has been updated to version 4 (2012), the other countries have just published their first edition. The applicable age of respective country about PIM criteria is slightly different (≥ 65 ~ ≥ 75 years). Seven countries except Japan were using the Delphi method as a research methodology. The composition of the expert panel has pharmacist, geriatrician, psychiatrist, general and family practitioner, and so on. Eight countries′ PIM criteria were not completely consistent in the content and the form, but mainly contain three parts: independent risk factors, drug-disease interactions, and drug-drug interactions. Drugs were included in PIM criteria with the following features: the elderly are proneto poisoning and adverse reactions; the benefits of treatment outweigh its potential risks for the elderly; poor efficacy or uncertain efficacy for the elderly; drugs can be replaced with similar products. ConclusionReference and learning from foreign method and experience of PIM criteria in elderly can help us to formulate a PIM criteria for China′s situation as early as possible and promote rational use of drugs.

    Chengdu Women and Children′s Central Hospital started the construction of a pharmacovigilance system in 2017. In August of that year, 3 venous thrombosis events related to off-label use of heamocogulase agents occurred consecutively within 1 month, which aroused the vigilance of the hospital pharmacovigilance department. And these events were designated as the risk signals of pharmacovigilance. Then the application of heamocogulase agents in the whole hospital was investigated. Intervention measures including formulation of clinical application standard of heamocogulase agents, strengthening of the prescription and medical order management, and strengthening the training of medical staff on the rational use of heamocogulase agents were formulated in connection with the medication risk links, and the pharmacovigilance system of heamocogulase agents was established. From December 2017 to February 2018 after the implementation of the intervention, the consumption of heamocogulase agents decreased by 90.8% (from 6-767 to 624) and the incidences of unreasonable medication indication, irrational course of treatment, and unjustified daily dose decreased significantly, compared with those from June to August 2017 before the intervention. As of the end of 2019, no more heamocogulase agents-related venous thrombotic events have occurred.

    Objective To observe the effect of acupressure and ear acupoint pressure bean on alleviating the adverse reactions of polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder in patients undergoing colonoscopy, and analyze the effect on patients' medication compliance and intestinal cleanliness. Methods The study was designed as a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled clinical trial. The subjects were selected from patients who planned to undergo colonoscopy in the Endoscopy Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University and were divided into trial group (50 patients) and control group (50 patients) in terms of random number table method. Patients in the control group was given colonoscopy routine nursing, and those in the trial group was treated with acupressure and ear acupoint pressure bean therapy on the basis of routine nursing. The incidence of adverse reactions of polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder, medication compliance (8-item Morisky medication adherence scale), and intestinal cleanliness (Boston bowel preparation scale) in patients were compared between the 2 groups. Results A total of 100 patients were included initially, 8 fell off during the study, and 92 were finally entered in the analysis, including 46 in the trial group and control group respectively. There were 26 males and 20 females in the trial group, aged (47±6) years with a range from 35 to 56 years, and 25 males and 21 females in the control group, aged (46±6) years with a range from 33 to 57 years. Differences in age, gender, education level, and marital status of patients between the 2 groups were not significant (all P>0.05). The overall incidence of adverse reactions of polyethy- lene glycol electrolyte powder in the trial group was lower than that in the control group [30.4% (14/46) vs. 65.2% (30/46), χ2=11.152, P=0.001]. Adverse reactions in the trial group included nausea (11 cases), fullness (2 cases), and abdominal pain (1 case), while those in the control group included nausea (17 cases), fullness(5 cases), abdominal pain (4 cases), vomiting (2 cases), anal discomfort and rash (1 case each). The scores of 8-item Morisky medication adherence scale and Boston bowel preparation scale in the trial group were both higher than those in the control group [8 (7, 8) points vs. 6 (6, 6) points, χ2=-7.711, P<0.001; 9 (8, 9) points vs. 7 (7, 7) points, χ2=-6.721, P<0.001]. Conclusion The addition of acupressure and ear acupoint pressure bean to the routine nursing process in colonoscopy can effectively alleviate the adverse reactions of polye-thylene glycol electrolyte powder, and improve patients' medication compliance and intestinal cleanliness.

    Objective To explore the risks of medication errors of insulin degludec(IDeg) in clinical application using failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA). Methods A research group on the risk points of medication errors was established in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University. The risk points of medication errors were collected through questionnaire survey, literature research, and on-the-spot investigation. The severity, frequency of occurrence, and likelihood of detection were scored to determine the risk priority number (RPN) and formulate corresponding preventive measures. Results After comprehensive evaluation, 32 risk points were found in the 4 links of physician prescription, pharmacist dispensing, nurse administration, and patient medication. The RPN was ranked from high to low, and 10 key risk points (RPN>70 points) were selected. (1)The pharmacist did not give the patients guidance on the use of IDeg; (2)Patients did not know that they should actively report to the physicians about the use feeling and adverse reactions of the drug; (3)Patients did not clear about the content of medication monito- ring; (4)Patients did not master how to use the drug; (5)Pharmacists did not conduct medication feedback survey on patients; (6)Patients did not attach importance or thought it was unnecessary to receive medication guidance from pharmacists; (7)Physician′s prescription was wrong, resulting in overdose; (8)Doctors and patients did not communicate well, and patients did not know what medicine they were using; (9)Pharmacists did not fully understand drug information such as drug properties, prohibited population, interaction, medication time, etc.; (10)Pharmacists ignored the commonly used dose of the drug, applicable population, and other information in the process of reviewing the prescription. According to above-mentioned risk points, the risk intervention suggestions of IDeg were put forward, including the maintenance of basic drug information, the prescription of doctors, the dispensing of pharmacists, the patient medication link, the nurse administration link, the collection of medication error reports, and the strengthening of personnel training. Conclusion The FMEA method can be used to effectively find out the risk points of medication errors in the clinical application of IDeg, the priority of IDeg risk management can be determined through quantitative evaluation, and corresponding preventive measures can be formulated.

    Objective To understand the clinical features of granulomatous hepatitis (GH) induced by intravesical instillation with Bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine (BCG). Methods Case reports of GH which was confirmed by liver biopsy and induced by intravesical BCG therapy were collected by searching PubMed and Elsevier databases as of December 2021. The following information of patients inclu- ding general information, intravesical BCG situations (dose, times of instillation, traumatic catheterization occurrence), GH occurrence (onset time, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests and liver biopsy results), other adverse reactions, treatments, and outcomes were extracted and analyzed descriptively. Results A total of 23 patients, who were all male, were entered in the analysis, aged from 34 to 80 years with a median age of 66 years. The primary diseases were bladder cancer in 22 patients and ureteral carcinoma in 1 patient. The times of instillation until GH occurred were recorded in 19 patients. Of them, 2 patients had instillation once and the time was 16 at most. Ten patients had traumatic catheterization during the last instillation, inclu- ding hematuria in 7 patients, pain in 2 patients, and difficulty in urethral intubation in 1 patient. Time from the last instillation to the onset of GH was from 3 h to 440 days (≤7 days in 18 patients, 10, 14, 21, 180, and 440 days in 1 patient respectively) with a median time of 3 days. Among the 23 patients, 21-had fever, 12-had jaundice, 9 had hepatomegaly, 7 had fatigue, 5 had anorexia, 2 had weight loss, and 1 had night sweats; 12 manifested as GH alone and 11-had concomitant adverse reactions. Abnormal liver function appeared in 22 patients, mainly including elevated alkaline phosphatase and elevated aspartate aminotransferase (each in 17 patients). Mycobacterium bovis identification/culture results were recorded in 20 patients and 7 were positive. Liver biopsies showed noncaseating granuloma of epithelioid in 10 patients, noncaseating granuloma in 7 patients, epithelioid granuloma in 4 patients, and hepatic granuloma without details in 2 patients. After discontinuation of BCG instillations and treatments with anti-tuberculosis agents and/or corticosteroids, 22 patients were improved and 1 patient died of BCG sepsis and multiple organ failure. Conclusions GH usually occurs within 1 week after intravesical instillation with BCG and mainly manifests as fever, jaundice, hepatomegaly, and abnormal liver function, which may be accompanied by other adverse reactions related to BCG instillation. Liver biopsy can help the diagnosis. The prognosis is good after combination therapy with anti-tuberculosis agents and corticosteroids, but death may occur in severe cases.

    ObjectiveTo understand the characteristics of medication errors (ME) of traditional Chinese medicine in elderly patientsMethodsME reports of traditional Chinese medicine in elderly patients which were collected from International Network for the Rational Use of Drugs (INRUD) from January 1st, 2013 to November 31st, 2014 were selected and analyzed. The major types of ME, persons who triggered the ME, triggering factor, category, and persons who detected the ME were analyzed descriptively.ResultsA total of 520 ME reports were collected from 23 hospitals. The number of ME on medication usage and dosage in ME types ranked first and accounted for 48.5% (252/520), the number of deployment errors ranked second and accounted for 19.8% (103/520). In terms of the persons  triggering the ME, the percentage of physicians and pharmacists were 70.0% (333/476) and 29.4% (140/476), respectively. Triggering factors of ME were lack of knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine [30.0% (114/380)] and similar names of different drugs [16.3% (62/380)]. Intermediate and primary titles of pharmacists in persons who detected ME accounted for 53.2% (271/509) and 37.5% (191/509), respectively. The ME belonging to category A, B, and C accounted for 16.0% (83/520), 68.5% (356/520), and 13.8% (72/520)], respectively and all these errors did not do harm to patients. The errors belonging to category D and E accounted for 1.5% (8/520) and 0.2% (1/520), respectively. ConclusionsIn elderly patients, the errors in usage and dosage of traditional Chinese medicine were main types of errors and most of the ME were mild and did not do harm to patients. The triggering factor of the ME were lack of knowledge of traditional Chinese medicines in physicians and pharmacists.

    Objective To explore the risk of cholangitis induced by different immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Methods Through the OpenVigil data platform, adverse event (AE) reports related to nivolumab, pembrolizumab, cemiplimab, avelumab, durvalumab, atezolizumab, ipilimumab, and tremelimu- mab from the first quarter of 2011 to the third quarter of 2021 in the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database were collected. Risk signal mining for cholangitis was performed using reported odds ratio (ROR) method. The detection threshold of the risk signal was set as that the number of AE reports was greater than or equal to 3 and the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the ROR was greater than 1. The higher the ROR and its 95%CI lower limit, the stronger the signal intensity. The intensity of the risk signal of cholangitis due to different ICIs was compared and the main characteristics (sex, age, type of primary tumor, time of occurrence of AE, and outcome) of patients with ICIs-related cholangitis were analyzed descriptively. Results A total of 52-440 AE reports related to the above 8 ICIs were collected, of which 410 cases were about cholangitis. The drugs that were detected with positive risk signals were nivolumab, pembrolizumab, atezolizumab, durvalumab monotherapy, and ipilimumab combined with nivolumab. Their number of AE reports were 213, 107, 48, 5, and 29 (402 patients in total), and the corresponding ROR (lower limit of 95%CI) were 37.88 (32.89), 26.07 (21.46), 32.12 (24.10), 13.63 (5.65), and 14.46 (10.02), respectively. The risk signal intensity was nivolumab, atezolizumab, pembrolizumab, ipilimu- mab combined with nivolumab, and durvalumab in order. Seeing from the available data among the reports, males were more than females (233∶110=2.1∶1), 55.2% (222/402) of patients were 65 years old and over, and 48.0% (193/402) of patients were non-small cell lung cancer. ICIs-related cholangitis could result in hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization in 42.3% (170/402), requiring emergency treatment in 40.0% (161/402), life-threatening in 2.0% (8/402), and death in 15.7% (63/402) of patients. Conclusions The risk of cholangitis induced by ICIs is different and the risk signal of nivolumab is the strongest. Cholangitis is a serious AE of ICI, which should attract clinical attention.

    A 73-year-old male patient was treated with tacrolimus 2.5-mg twice daily combined with prednisone 5-mg once daily orally for anti-rejection after lung transplantation. Due to pulmonary aspergillus fumigatus infection, the patient received voriconazole 400-mg orally twice daily on the first day and then 200-mg twice daily from the next day. During this period, the patient continued to receive anti- rejection treatments. Three days after the application of voriconazole, the patient developed decreased urine output and fatigue, serum creatinine was 196-μmol/L, and tacrolimus trough concentration was 49.0-μg/L. Acute kidney injury caused by tacrolimus poisoning was considered. Under the monitoring of blood drug concentration, tacrolimus was discontinued intermittently for 3 days, then tacrolimus was reduced to 0.5-mg once daily and voriconazole was reduced to 150-mg twice daily. Seventeen days later, the patient had a 24- hour urine output of 950-ml, serum creatinine of 154-μmol/L, and tacrolimus trough concentration of 7.7-μg/L. Twenty-two days later, his serum creatinine decreased to 142-μmol/L. It was considered that the abnormal increase of tacrolimus blood trough concentration was related to the inhibited metabolism after combined use with voriconazole.

    Objective To explore the occurrence and risk factors of piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium (TZP)-related hypokalemia. Methods The clinical data of adult inpatients treated with TZP in Linyi Central Hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were collected through the hospital′s electronic medical record system, including patient demographic information, infection sites, major underlying diseases, laboratory tests, TZP use information and concomitant drugs, and patients with TZP-related hypokalemia were screened. The occurrence of TZP-related hypokalemia was analyzed by descriptive statistics. According to whether or not having TZP-related hypokalemia, the patients were divided into hypokalemia group and non-hypokalemia group, and the clinical characteristics were compared. The clinical characteristics with statistically significant differences between 2 groups were included in the multivariate logistic regression, and the risk factors of TZP-related hypokalemia were analyzed. Results A total of 363 patients were included in the analysis, of which 86 (23.7%) were with hypokalemia and were judged to be associated with TZP, 46 (53.5%) were male and 40 (46.5%) were female; the age was 76 (68, 83) years. Of the 86 patients, 76 (88.4%) had mild hypokalemia, 10 (11.6%) had moderate hypokalemia, and none had severe hypokalemia. Through clinical characteristic comparison between the hypokalemia group and the non-hypokalemia group, statistically significant differences were found in patient gender, age, body mass index, the proportion of patients with pulmonary infection, abdominal/gastrointestinal infection, and urinary tract infection, the proportion of patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and without major underlying diseases, baseline hemoglobin, serum total protein, serum albumin, blood calcium, blood magnesium, and the proportion of patients using potassium preserving diuretics and other diuretics during TZP treatment (all P<0.05). The above variables were included in the multivariate logistic regression, and the results showed that only the baseline level of blood magnesium was an independent influencing factor of TZP-related hypokalemia, and the lower the level, the higher the risk (odds ratio=0.105,95% confidence interval: 0.012-0.956,P=0.045). Conclusions Hypokalemia is a common adverse reaction of TZP, which should be paid attention to in clinic. The lower level of blood magnesium at baseline may be related to the increased risk of hypokalemia during TZP treatment.

    Objective:The effects of carvedilol on renal function in chronic heart failure(CHF) patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) was estimated. Methods: 27 CHF patients with CRF were chosen to receive carvedilol in association with routine treatment for heart failure. The changes of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and parameters of renal function were recorded and analyzed in various phases. Results: The LVEF at the end of third and twelveth months after therapy were higher than at basic line(all p<0.01). The serum creatinine increased one month after therapy(p < 0.05), but decreased subsequently under basic line either at the end of third month or twelveth month(all p< 0.05). Similarly, endogenous creatinine clearance rate(Ccr)decreased at the end of first month(p< 0.05), and then exceeded basic level at the end of third month or twelveth month(all p< 0.01). However, the microalbuminuria and total urine protein within 24 hours were not altered after therapy…更多 at any phases (all p> 0.05). Conclusion: Carvedilol, the third generation of beta-blocker, may induce transient decrease of renal function, but can improve heart function and renal function in CHF patients with CRF.

    Carbapenems are a class of βlactam antibiotics with a broad spectum of antibacterial activity. The commonly used carbapenems are imipenem, meropenem, ertapenem, faropenem, panipenem, doripenem, and so on. Carbapenem antibiotics could induce neurotoxicity and the incidence is about 0.01%-0.3%. The main clinical manifestations of neurotoxicity are headache, convulsions, seizures, myoclonus, and disorder of consciousness. The mechanism of neurotoxicity induced by carbapenem antibiotics is thought to be related to inhibition of the γ-aminobutyric acid (γ-GABA) binding to the receptors and interruption neural inhibitory effect of γ-GABA eventally resulting in seizures and other neurological disorders. The risk factors for neurotoxic reactions include decreased renal function, pathologic changes in CNS, and combination therapy. The prevention and treatment of neurotoxicity induced by carbapenems are as follows: it is essential to consider appropriate choice of carbapenem antibiotics according to the relationship between seizures and the different types of the antibiotics; dosage should be carefully adjusted in patients with renal failure; concomitant use with other drugs such as highdose theophylline, NSAIDs, probenecid, and so on should be avoided; the children and elderly patients should be monitored during treatment; if carbapeneminduced seizures occur, the agent should be stopped and diazepam or sodium valproate may be given if necessary; hemodialysis could be used for patients with uncontrolled seizures induced by the antibiotics.

    Post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI) is one kind of the serious adverse reactions of iodine contrast agents. With the rapid development of computed tomography technology, the use of intravenous iodine contrast agents has significantly increased. Although the incidence is very low, PC-AKI after intravenous injection has attracted attention. At present, there is no effective treatment measure which is evidence-based for PC-AKI. Effective risk prediction and prevention of PC-AKI are important measures to reduce the occurrence risk and relieve the kidney injury. Rehydration therapy is currently recommended in clinical practice for the prevention and treatment of PC-AKI. In recent years, there are also many scholars studying the prevention and treatment measures such as remote ischemic precondition, drug therapy, and renal replacement therapy.

    Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of continuous subcutaneous insulin analogues infusion (CSII) and multiple daily insulin analogues injection (MDII) in fracture patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2MD) during the perioperative period. Methods The medical data of patients with lower limb fracture complicated with T2MD in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from 2017 to 2021 were collected by hospital information system and analyzed retrospectively. The medical data of patients extracted included gender, age, body weight, body mass index (BMI), fracture site, pain score and grading, time from fracture to admission, duration of T2MD, laboratory test results at admission, blood glucose control regimen and monitoring result after admission, and the adverse events. Patients were divided into CSII group and MDII group according to blood glucose control regimen during the perioperative period. The clinical features, time to reach target blood glucose range, insulin application, and adverse events in patients of the 2 groups were compared. Results A total of 207 patients were enrolled in this study, including 90 males and 117 females, aged (61±15) years with BMI of (25.5±3.5) kg/m2. No significant differences were found in gender, age, BMI, fracture site, pain score and grading, time from fracture to admission, duration of T2MD, and laboratory test resurts at admission in patients between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). Patients in the CSII group had shorter time to reach target range of fasting blood glucose, 2-h postprandial blood glucose, and the both than those in the MDII group [(48.7±30.2) h vs. (78.7±44.5) h, P=0.003; (66.8±31.5) h vs. (93.3±47.6) h, P=0.001; (68.4±30.5) h vs. (96.3±48.1) h, P<0.001]. The total daily dose and total pre-prandial dose of insulin per unit weight in patients when the fasting and 2-h postprandial glucose both reach the target range were less in the CSII group than those in the MDII group [(0.67±0.20) U/kg vs. (0.73±0.17) U/kg, P=0.030; (0.34±0.10) U/kg vs. (0.38±0.09) U/kg, P=0.004]. In 207 patients, hypoglycemia occurred in 17 patients for 23 times with an overall incidence of 8.2%(17/207). The difference in the incidence of hypoglycemia was not significant between the 2 groups [4.9%(5/102) vs. 11.4%(12/105), P=0.319]. None of the 5 patients with hypoglycemia in the CSII group had hypoglycemia for 2 times or more, while 4 of the 12 patients in the MDII group had 2 times of hypoglycemia and 1 had 3 times of hypoglycemia. Other adverse drug events included allergy, systemic edema, nodular hyperplasia of subcutaneous fat, and persistent bleeding at the injection site. Eight patients in the CSII group had other adverse events, including device failure in 5 patients, and using insulin pump during anesthesia, in magnetic field environment, and in humid environment in 3 patients respectively. Conclusions CSII regimen is helpful for fracture patients with T2DM to achieve target blood glucose range earlier, and provides more ways and opportunities to correct hypoglycemia in patients. However, the insulin pump needs more professional maintenance in practice, so it has limitations to some extent in clinical application.

    Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Government agencies or learned societies in many countries recommend prioritizing patients with CKD for COVID-19 vaccines. The immune response rate to the COVID-19 vaccines is lower in hemodialysis patients and kidney transplant recipients compared with that in healthy individuals, and increasing the number of vaccinations each member of these population may improve their immune response rate. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions after vaccination between patients with CKD and healthy controls. Patients with stable CKD should be vaccinated against COVID-19 unless there were contraindications to vaccination. The mRNA vaccines, inactivated vaccines, and recombinant protein subunit vaccines are all safe for patients with CKD. Patients with CKD treated with rituximab or high-dose glucocorticoid need to weigh the benefits and risks before vaccination, and COVID-19 vaccines can be given when rituximab treatment ends for more than 6 months or after glucocorticoid reduction.

    External preparations have advantages including direct therapeutic action, high local drug concentrations, and minimal systemic adverse reactions, representing an important therapeutic modality for various diseases. However, current clinical application standards for external preparations remain substantially suboptimal, posing considerable medication safety risks. To establish dosage specifications and combination therapy strategies for external preparations and promote their safe and rational use, the Beijing Pharmaceutical Association Primary Care Pharmacy Committee and Beijing Pharmacy Center for Quality Control and Improvement convened clinical and pharmaceutical experts from 27 medical institutions in Beijing and developed the "Expert consensus on standardized prescribing and rational use of external preparations in medical institutions (2026 edition)", based on current evidence-based medical data, experience of multidisciplinary experts in frontline clinical practice, and the patients′ rational use requirements for topical preparations. The expert consensus addresses 7 clinical questions across 3 medication scenarios and provides specific recommendations and the recommendation strengths for each scenario, including monotherapy of one external preparation, combination therapy of external preparation with its systemic preparation, and combination therapy with 2 or more external preparations. It is published with the aim to promote rational drug use of external preparations and reduce the occurrence of adverse drug reactions.

    A 68-year-old female patient with breast cancer and lung metastasis received fulvestrant injection (fulvestrant) 0.5 g intramuscularly on day 1, and palbociclib capsules (palbociclib) 75-mg once daily orally for 21 days with a 7-day interval; 28 days was a cycle. Before treatments, laboratory test showed brain natriuretic peptide 811.3-ng/L and the electrocardiogram showed no obvious abnormality. During the 7th treatment cycle, the patient developed dyspnea after climbing stairs, accompanied by chest pain, chest tightness, and palpitations. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptido (NT-proBNP) was 4-001-ng/L. Echocardiography showed that the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 25%, the left ventricular wall motion was generally weakened, the left ventricle was enlarged, and the left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions were reduced. Electrocardiogram showed sinus tachycardia and ST-T changes. Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction caused by fluvestrant and palbociclib was considered. The 2 drugs were discontinued and anti-heart failure therapy including sacubitril valsartan, torasemide, and metoprolol succinate was given for 40 days. The patient′s dyspnea and chest tightness were improved. Laboratory test showed NT-proBNP 4-345-ng/L, echocardiography showed LVEF 26%, and coronary angiography showed no stenosis. Coronary artery disease was excluded, and chronic heart failure was diagnosed, with cardiac function of grade Ⅲ. After implanting the implantable cardioverter defibrillator and continuing the anti-heart failure drug treatment for 24 days, NT-proBNP decreased to 2-321-ng/L, LVEF was 25%, and cardiac function was grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ.

    Objective To explore the short-term prognosis and influencing factors of oral voriconazole in elderly patients with invasive pulmonary fungal infection (IPFI). Methods By searching hospital information system in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, the medical records of elderly patients (≥80 years) who were diagnosed as IPFI and treated with oral voriconazole in Department of Geriatrics from January 2016 to December 2017 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The basic information, basic diseases, combined medication, baseline value of liver and kidney function, treatment course of oral voriconazole, and liver and kidney function and survival status within 30 days after medication were recorded. The influencing factors of all-cause liver injury, acute renal injury (AKI), and death within 30 days after oral voriconazole were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. The odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Results A total of 34 patients were entered, including 20 males and 14 females with age of (91±5) years. Of them, 6 patients (17.6%) developed liver injury, 7 patients (20.5%) developed AKI, and 9 patients (26.5%) died within 30 days after treatment with oral voriconazole. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age was an independent risk factor for liver injury within 30 days after treatment with oral voriconazole (OR=1.33, 95%CI: 1.03-1.73, P=0.03), baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)<60-ml/(min·1.73 m2) was an independent risk factor for AKI (OR=13.00, 95%CI: 1.27-133.29, P=0.03), AKI was an independent risk factor for death within 30 days (OR=48.00, 95%CI: 4.21-547.18, P<0.01). Conclusions The risk of liver injury, AKI, and death was higher within 30 days after oral administration of voriconazole in elderly patients with IPFI. Age and baseline eGFR<60-ml/(min·1.73 m2) were independent risk factors for liver injury and AKI, respectively. AKI was an independent risk factor for death.

    Special populations, such as infants, pregnant and lactating women, patients with liver and kidney dysfunction, and the elderly, have different degrees of immune dysfunction, whose probability of infection and the utilization rate of antibacterials are higher than those in other populations. The risk of adverse reactions is higher in these special populations because of their special pathophysiological state and characteristics of drug metabolism. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the safety of antibacterials in these populations. To master the pathophysiological characteristics of special populations and the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the antibacterials and strengthen the audit and comment on the prescription of antibacterials in the special populations will help to improve the level of rational use of antibacterials, so as to reduce their damages to special populations.

    A 55-year-old male patient with rectal adenocarcinoma received oxaliplatin (200-mg intravenously infused on day 1) and capecitabine (1-500-mg orally twice daily from day 2 to 15) after operation, and 21 days was a cycle. Next day after the first intravenous infusion of oxaliplatin and before capecitabine administration, the patient developed fatigue, nausea, lower limb muscle soreness, muscle weakness, and dark urine. Laboratory tests showed creatine kinase (CK) 1-453-U/L, myoglobin>1-000-μg/L, urea nitrogen 50.0-mmol/L, serum creatinine (Scr) 192-μmol/L, uric acid 1-071-μmol/L, blood sodium 123-mmol/L, blood phosphorus 4.36-mmol/L, and bicarbonate 5.0-mmol/L. Blood gas analysis showed pH 7.3, carbon dioxide partial pressure (PCO2) 19-mmHg, partial pressure of oxygen (PO-) 110-mmHg, lactic acid 1.5-mmol/L, and base excess -15.5-mmol/L. Rhabdomyolysis, acute renal injury, electrolyte disorder, and metabolic acidosis combined with respiratory alkalosis were diagnosed, which were considered to be related to oxaliplatin. Nutritional supportive treatments, rehydration, alkalinized urine, correction of electrolyte disorders, correction of acidosis, and other treatments were given. On day 2 of treatments, the patient′s lower limb muscle soreness was relieved. On day 3, the lower limb muscle soreness subsided and the muscle strength returned to normal. On day 4, laboratory tests showed CK 73-U/L, CK-MB 1.0-μg/L, myoglobin 51-μg/L, urea nitrogen 4.8-mmol/L, Scr 66-μmol/L, uric acid 179-μmol/L, sodium 134-mmol/L, and phosphorus 0.43-mmol/L; blood gas analysis showed pH 7.4, PCO2-35-mmHg, PO- 100-mmHg, lactic acid 1.2-mmol/L, and base excess -1.3-mmol/L.

    Parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC) is a common and serious complication of newborns receiving parenteral nutrition support for more than 2 weeks. The occurrence of PNAC may be the result of multiple factors. Premature birth, low birth weight, long-term parenteral nutrition, lack of enteral feeding, patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis, intestinal bacterial overgrowth, bacterial translocation, and imbalance of parenteral nutrition components or containing toxic ingredients are all risk factors of neonatal PNAC. The mechanism of PNAC is not clear, which may be related to the change of bile salt enterohepatic circulation, intestinal flora translocation, improper use of fat emulsions, improper use of amino acids and carbohydrate, and excessive trace elements. The prevention measurements of PNAC mainly include early enteral feeding, optimization of parenteral nutrition components, light protection during the use of nutrient solution, and so on. The therapeutic strategies of PNAC are limited, drugs such as ursodeoxycholic acid, erythromycin, phenobarbital, and rifampicin can be considered.

    Drug-induced gynecomastia with the benign enlargement of male breast glandular tissue was reported to cause an imbalance between estrogen and androgen action then lead to an increased estrogen to androgen ratio by drugs. Drugs are estimated to cause about 10%~25% of all cases of gynecomastia. Some commonly used drugs, such as spironolactone, ketoconazole, imatinib, bicalutamide, finasteride, cimetidine can cause gynecomastia. Clinical manifestations of drug-induced gynecomastia cause breast pain, tenderness or galactorrhea. Estradiol and estriol increased, while luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and testosterone decreased in the laboratory tests. In the patients with drug-induced gynecomastia the causative medications should be withdrawn; if gynecomastia persists, the patients can be treated with tamoxifen. Surgery can be performed if treatment with tamoxifen was not effective or the clinical manifestations persist for one year.

    Objective To understand the adverse event (AE) risk signal of doxycycline in children and provide reference for the safe use of the drug in clinic. Methods AE reports of children with doxycycline as primary suspect drug were collected from the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database during the 1st quarter of 2004 to the 3rd quarter of 2023. AEs were standardized and classified according to the preferred term (PT) and system organ class (SOC) in Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 26.1. The AE risk signals of doxycycline were mined using reporting odds ratio (ROR) method. An AE with reports ≥3 and the lower limit of the 95%CI of ROR >1 was defined as a risk signal. Descriptive analysis on the risk signals was performed. Results A total of 637 AE reports related to doxycycline in children were collected, involving 107 PTs and 21 SOCs. The top 10 PTs in the number of reports (including juxtaposition) were vomiting, depression, dysphagia, Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction, cholangitis sclerosing, headache, colitis ulcerative, oesophageal ulcer, nausea, oesophagitis, and suicidal ideation. Among them, depression, Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction, cholangitis sclerosing, colitis ulcerative and suicidal ideation were not recorded in labels. The top 10 PTs in signal intensity were Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction, photoonycholysis, hypnopompic hallucination, oesophageal ulcer, oesophageal injury, hypnagogic hallucination, vitritis, onycholysis, cholangitis sclerosing, erosive oesophagitis. Among them, Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction, hypnopompic hallucination, hypnagogic hallucination, vitritis and cholangitis sclerosing were not recorded in labels. Psychiatric disorders were not covered by adverse reactions in the label. Conclusions The main AEs of doxycycline in children are vomiting, dysphagia, oesophageal ulcer, nausea, oesophagitis, all of which are recorded in the drug label. In addition, doxycycline may also cause AEs that are not recorded in drug label, such as Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction, sclerosing cholangitis, ulcerative colitis, and psychiatric disorders.

    A 77-year-old male patient with lung cancer developed creatine kinase (CK) 887 U/L, CK-MB 89 μg/L, and high-sensitivity troponin I (hs-TnI) 43-750.1-ng/L, and ECG showed multilead ST-segment elevation after 2 cycles of combination chemotherapy with camrelizumab. The patient did not undergo the 3rd cycle of anti-tumor treatment. Clinical pharmacists participated in consultations and assisted physicians in analyzing the patient′s medication. The causality between camrelizumab and the adverse event was considered as "possible" and the patient was diagnosed as immune myocarditis grade G3, receiving intravenous injection of 1-000-mg methylprednisolone pulse therapy once daily. Clinical pharmacists assisted physicians in reviewing data and developing glucocorticoid reduction plans. The dosage was reduced to 500-mg once daily after 2 days of pulse therapy. The patient′s myocardial enzymes continued to decrease after glucocorticoid reduction. After 3 days, the dosage of methylprednisolone was reduced to 40-mg by intravenous injection once every 12-hours for 7 days. The patient′s hs-TnI decreased to 2-248.6-ng/L. Methylprednisolone was changed to prednisone 40-mg twice daily orally. The physician’s advice for prednisone dose reduction: reduce the dosage by 10-20 mg per week, monitor myocardial enzymes every week, and when the dosage is reduced to 10 mg/d, and if the myocardial enzymes return to normal, maintain it for 1-2 weeks before discontinuation. The patient followed the doctor's advice and successfully stopped medication, and no glucocorticoid-related adverse reactions and cardiac discomfort recurred. The patient did not receive immunotherapy again.

    Objective To explore the injury effect and its possible mechanism of amiodarone on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Methods After 3 generations of cultivation, the HUVECs were seeded in 96-well plates and incubated with amiodarone (0, 10, 20, 30, and 60-μmol/L) for 24-hours. The cell viability was detected using cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) assay and the relative viability of cells incubated with different concentrations of amiodarone were calculated by taking the cell viability of the 0 μmol/L group as 100%. The concentration of amiodarone at which cell viability was reduced to 70% was selected for subsequent experiments. The effect of amiodarone of this concentration on the activity of HUVECs after action for different time (6, 12, 24, 36, and 48-hours) was detected using the CCK-8 assay. HUVECs cultured with amiodarone of this concentration were set as the experimental groups and those without amiodarone were set as the control group. Apoptosis rate of HUVECs was detected by Annexin V-FITC/P flow cytometry; the protein and mRNA expression levels of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), Caspase-3, interleukin 10 (IL-10), IL-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were detected using western blotting and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction, respectively; the reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected by DCFH-DA fluorescence probe assay; the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was detected by water-soluble tetrazolium-1 assay; the reduced glutathione (GSH) content was detected by microplate assay. Results The viabilities of HUVECs incubated with amiodarone at concentration of 10, 20, 30, and 60-μmol/L for 24-hours were (88.82±2.64)%, (74.96±1.75)%, (64.95±2.10)%, and (18.57±0.65)%, respectively; differences were all significant (all P<0.01) between each experiment group and control group, as well as between each experiment group. Amiodarone at a concentration of 30-μmol/L was used for subsequent experiments. After incubating with 30-μmol/L amiodarone for 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48-hours, the viabilities of HUVECs were (90.19±1.88)%, (82.81±2.51)%, (75.33±1.37)%, (65.76±1.85)%, and (47.01±3.29)%, respectively; differences were all significant (all P<0.01) between each experiment group and control group, as well as between each experiment group. Compared with the control group, the apoptosis rate of cells in the experimental group was significantly higher (48.59% vs. 16.34%, P<0.01), the protein and mRNA expression levels of pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and caspase-3, and pro-inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were higher (all P<0.01), whereas the protein and mRNA expression levels of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 were lower (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusions Amiodarone can cause HUVECs injury, which would be enhanced with the increase of concentration and action time of amiodarone. Amiodarone may cause HUVECs injury by inducing apoptosis, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress.

    Objective: To study the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of antiepileptic drug hypersensitive syndrome (DHSS) . Method: 11 children with DHSS due to antiepileptic drugs (AED) during hospitalization from May 1995 to April 2002 were enrolled and followed up for the clinical data collected and analysed. Results: Fever, eruption, mucosal lesion, desquamation and pigmentation appeared in all patients. Moreover, liver damage occurred in 7 cases. Lymphadenovarix, heart and kidney disorders each occurred in 4. Marrow involvement was found in 2 and Stevens - Johnson syndrome in 1. All cases were given corticosteroid and clinic relief was observed thereafter. Followed up for 6 months, seven of 11 cases showed reversible internal organ dysfunction. Skin pigmentation still existed though. Seven cases with indication for the continuation of AED therapy switched phenytoin, carbamazepine and phenobarbi-tal to sodium valproate (5 cases) and topiramate (2), with no resulting hypersensitivity and seizure. Conclusion: DHSS usually occurs within 1 to 6 weeks after initiation of AED therapy, typically presents with fever, eruption and internal organ involvement. The prognosis is quite well if suspected drugs discontinue and the expectant treatment starts.

    Objective To understand the management status of suspected unexpected serious adverse reaction (SUSAR) reports in clinical trial sites in China after the release of the 2020 edition of Good Clinical Practice (new GCP). Methods The serious adverse event (SAE)/SUSAR reporting requirements files in each site as of June 30, 2021 were downloaded after logging into the "summary of SAE/SUSAR reporting requirements in national sites under the new GCP" platform on an APP named Yaoyanshe (药研社). The requirements on SUSAR reporting management from above files in each site were extracted, including the acceptance process of the SUSAR reports submitted by the clinical trial sponsor and the processing process after receiving the reports (whether the investigator is required to sign for reading and evaluating the SUSAR reports, the time limit and form/format for the investigator to submit the SUSAR reports to the clinical trial institution and the ethics committee, and the processing method in the clinical trial institution and the ethics committee after receiving the SUSAR reports). The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Results The SUSAR reporting requirements files in the analysis were collected from 194-sites in 30 provincial administrative regions across the country. In the acceptance process of SUSAR reports submitted by the sponsor, 69.6% (135/194) of the sites required the investigators to sign for reading and evaluating the SUSAR reports, 24.2% (47/194) required the sponsor to submit the SUSAR reports to the clinical trial institution and/or ethics committee, and 6.2% (12/194) had no clear requirements. In the processing process after receiving the reports, 85.1% (165/194) of the sites required the investigators to submit the SUSAR reports to the clinical trial institution and the ethics committee at the same time, 13.4% (26/194) only required the investigators to submit them to the ethics committee, and 1.5% (3/194) had no clear requirements. Except that 1.0% (2/194) sites had no explicit requirements, for lethal/life-threatening SUSAR, 94.3% (183/194), 2.6% (5/194), and 2.1% (4/194) sites required investigators to submit the reports within 7 days, monthly, and quarterly, respectively. Except that 2.6% (5/194) sites had no explicit requirements, for non lethal/life-threatening SUSAR, 54.6% (106/194), 12.9% (25/194), 29.4% (57/194), and 0.5% (1/194) sites required investigators to submit the reports within 15 d, monthly, quarterly, and semiannually, respectively. Requirements on the form/format of SUSAR reports for investigators in submitting were different among sites. Only 12.9% (25/194) of the sites required the ethics committee to filing or meeting in handling of SUSAR reports, and 5.7% (11/194) required feedback on the handling opinions from the ethics committee. Conclusions Requirements on SUSAR reporting are of great differences among sites. The management of SUSAR reports in some sites does not meet the requirements in the new GCP, which may affect the risk control in clinical trials and need to be further standardized.

    Chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP) is a common adverse reaction in cancer chemotherapy, which is dose-dependent. CINP initially presents as acute pain syndrome and can lead to chronic neuropathic pain if not cured or recurrent. The pathophysiological mechanisms of CINP include mitochondrial dysfunction, calcium dyshomeostasis, oxidative stress, activation of apoptotic pathways, loss of myelin and non-myelin fibers, activation of the immune system, and increased expression of ion channels, etc. The mechanism of neuropathic pain induced by different chemotherapeutic drugs is different. There is a lack of effective CINP control measures and the highly recognized therapeutic drug is serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor duloxetine.

    A 50yearold female patient was treated with diammonium glycyrrhizinate enteric coated capsules for about 22 months irregularly due to repeated abnormal liver function, which was changed to compound glycyrrhizin 3 tablets thrice daily later. After 4 months of treatment with compound glycyrrhizin, the patient developed myalgia with fatigue and the symptoms gradually aggravated, resulting in weakness of limbs and difficulty in walking. Compound glycyrrhizin were stopped for 1 week, but the symptoms were not improved, with a blood pressure of 160/100mmHg. Laboratory tests showed blood potassium 1.9mmol/L, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 54U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 104U/L, creatine kinase (CK) >2200U/L, myoglobin 542.1μg/L, and blood pH 7.56. Intravenous and oral potassium supplementation and symptomatic treatments were given. Three days later, the symptoms of myalgia and fatigue were markedly improved and the blood potassium returned to 3.5mmol/L. Two weeks later, the patient′s muscle strength recovered and the blood pressure was 100/71mmHg. Laboratory tests showed blood potassium 4.2mmol/L, ALT 45U/L, AST 38U/L, and CK 44U/L. Aldosterone postural stimulation test and captopril challenge test were performed for definite diagnosis, showing normal aldosterone level and decreased renin concentration. Pseudoaldosteronism complicated with hypokalemic rhabdomyolysis was diagnosed, which was considered to be related to longterm administration of glycyrrhizic acid preparations.

    A 63-year-old female patient received gemcitabine (1.2 g by an IV infusion on the first day) and carboplatin combination chemotherapy (500 mg by an IV infusion on the second day) because of postoperative recurrence of ovarian cancer. After finishing the first chemotherapy, the patient had slight edema and stabbing pain of both legs, and the skin from ankle to the middle of both legs gradually turned reddish. Then the stabbing pain and edema were gradually relieved and the epidermis was gradually thickened. After finishing the second chemotherapy, the skin stabbing pain and edema of both lower extremities were aggravated. During the interval of chemotherapy, the stabbing pain and edema were gradually reduced, but the skin of her legs gradually turned dark brown, the epidermis became thick and hard, showing typical scleroderma-like changes. After finishing the third chemotherapy, the stabbing pain and edema of the lower extremities were aggravated again. Then the patient was lost to follow-up. No skin injury occurred during 6 times of paclitaxel liposome and carboplatin combination chemotherapy. So the scleroderma-like changes in the patient was considered to be related to gemcitabine.

    Objective To explore the effect of clinical pharmacist-led safety management in clinical use of oral anticoagulants (OACs) on reducing medication errors (MEs) in hospitalized patients. Methods On July 1st, 2018, the working group on the safe application of anticoagulants, composing clinical pharmacists majoring in cardiology, cardiac surgery, neurology, geriatrics, orthopedics, respiratory, and vascular surgery, was established at the Department of Pharmacy, Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University to comprehensively strengthen the intervention in the OACs prescription MEs for inpatients in relevant departments. Two percent of patients who were treated with OACs and aged ≥18 years during hospitalization in the above departments were screened using stratified sampling method and divided into pre-intervention group (patients were admitted in January 2017 to June 2018) and post-intervention group (patients were admitted in July 2018 to December 2019). The medical records of patients in the 2 groups were collected using the hospital information system, and the occurrence of MEs in the prescription link was analyzed retrospectively. Results A total of 296 and 325 patients were included in the pre- and post-intervention groups respectively. There was no significant difference in terms of gender, age, inpatient department, anticoagulation indications, OACs class, comorbidities, and concomitant medications in patients between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). The most frequently used anticoagulants in the 2 groups both were warfarin, which was used in 75.3% (223/296) and 71.4% (232/325) of the patients respectively, and followed by rivaroxaban, which was used in 17.6% (52/296) and 23.7% (77/325) of the patients respectively. Among the 296 patients in the pre-intervention group, 75 times of MEs related to OACs were found in the prescription for 72 (24.3%) patients, of which 30, 39, 5, and 1 times of MEs graded C, D, E, and F in severity respectively, and the incidence of severe MEs (grade E and F) was 2.0% (6/296). Among the 325 patients in the post-intervention group, 49 times of MEs related to OACs were found in the prescription for 47 (14.5%) patients, of which 22 times of MEs were grade C and 27 were grade D, and no severe ME was found. The incidences of overall MEs and severe MEs in the post-intervention group were significantly lower than those in the pre- intervention group (all P<0.05). Four types of MEs were all found in the prescription of OACs in the 2 groups, inclu- ding choosing inappropriate drugs (all presented as not selecting drugs based on drug interactions), wrong drug dose, drug omission, and wrong dosing frequency. The incidences of the above 4 types of MEs were 11.5% (34/296), 8.1% (24/296), 4.7% (14/296), and 0.7% (2/296) in the pre-intervention group, and 5.5% (18/325), 6.2% (20/325), 3.1% (10/325), and 0.3% (1/325) in the post-intervention group, respectively. The incidence of choosing inappropriate drugs in the post-intervention group was significantly lower than that in the pre-intervention group [5.5% (18/325) vs. 11.5% (34/296), χ2=7.143, P=0.008]. Conclusion The safety management of OACs in clinical application led by clinical pharmacists can reduce the MEs in prescriptions of OACs for inpatients, especially the incidence of severe MEs and choosing inappropriate drugs, and improve the safety of OACs in application.

    A 56-year-old male patient with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma received targeted therapy with lenvatinib 12-mg once daily. After 30 days of medication, the patient developed epistaxis without predisposing factors in the morning, which occurred once every half a month and could be stopped after compression. The drug was not stopped. After 97 days of medication, the patient developed abdominal pain. Physical examination showed abdominal tenderness, especially in the upper and middle abdomen, rebound pain, and muscle tension. Abdominal CT examination showed pneumoperitoneum, hydrops, and perforation of hollow organs of abdomen. Lenvatinib was withdrawn and the conservative treatments with fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, anti-infection, acid suppression, and rehydration were given. After 22 days of treatments, his abdominal pain was relieved and the fluid diet was restored. After 26 days of treatments, the patient had exhaust and defecation. After that, the patient took lenvatinib with the same dose as before by himself again for one week, and epistaxis recurred. There was no epistaxis after discontinuation of lenvatinib again. It was considered that epistaxis and perforation of hollow organs might be related to lenvatinib.

    Objective: To compared the antiviral effects and safety of entecavir with those of lamivudine. Methods: Thirty-three patients with no prior history of antiviral therapy were divided randomizely into two groups: entecavir group (16 cases), and lamivu- dine group (17 cases). The dosage in the entecavir group and lamivudine group was 0.5 mg/d and 100 mg/d, respectively, and the duration of therapy was 48~96 weeks. The effects of entecavir and lamivudin on HBV DNA, ALT, HBeAg/HBeAb seroconversion, and their adverse reactions were observed during the treatment. Results: The patients with undetectable serum levels of HBV DNA in the entecavir group were more than those in the lamivudine group, that is, 56.25% versus 29.41% on week 24, and 87.50% versus 29.41% on week 48 after treatment. There were no marked differences in the HBeAg negative conversion rate, HBeAg/HBeAb seroconverse rate, and the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups. Conclusion: Entecavir is more effective in …更多inhibiting reproduction of HBV than that of lamivudine, and entecavir is similar to lamivudine in the incidence of adverse reactions;therefore, entecavir could be used for long-term treatment of the patients with chronic hepatitis B.

    Tenofovir dipivoxil fumarate (TDF) is a anti human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis B virus drug, which is commonly used in clinic. The osteotoxicity of TDF has always been a key issue of clinical concern. The bone toxicity of TDF is related to hypophosphatemia secondary to renal tubular toxicity. At present, there are few systematic descriptions of bone metabolism changes caused by TDF. In this paper, the effects of TDF on bone metabolism are reviewed from 3 aspects: its effects on osteoblasts and osteoclasts, bone turnover, and bone structure and fracture.

    A 44-year-old female patient was treated with docetaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy for cervical cancer and dexamethasone 7.5-mg twice daily was given the day before and on days 1 and 2 of chemotherapy. No adverse reactions occurred in the first 3 courses. No abnormality was found in laboratory tests, color Doppler echocardiography, or CT examination of chest and abdomen before the 4th chemotherapy. On day 3 and 4 of the 4th chemotherapy, the patient felt mild nausea, which was relieved after intravenous injection of metoclopramide; on day 5, she suffered sudden upper abdominal distension, pain, and discomfort, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Chest and abdominal CT examination indicated a large amount of peritoneal effusion. Renal function tests showed blood urea 10.29-mmol/L and blood creatinine 215-μmol/L. Tumor peritoneal metastasis, acute abdomen, cardiac insufficiency, hypoproteinemia and other reasons were excluded, and the peritoneal effusion caused by docetaxel was considered, which then induced prerenal acute kidney injury. Peritoneal effusion was extracted through peritoneal puncture and glucocorticoid and diuretic therapy were given. On day 8 of chemotherapy, renal function of the patient was normal; on day 9, her abdominal distention and pain were obviously relieved; on day 11, abdominal ultrasonography showed no obvious mass or liquid dark area. After that, the patient received traditional Chinese medicine for cervical cancer and chest and abdomen CT examination was repeated every 3-6 months. Blood routine examination and liver and kidney function showed no abnormality in subsequent tests.

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety of domperidone in children.MethodsClinical studies involving domperidone used in children were searched from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Chinese Biology Medical disc, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang Database. Adverse drug reaction information bulletins which were reported by WHO Pharmaceuticals Newsletter and National Center for adverse drug reaction monitoring were searched and adverse drug reactions (ADR)/adverse drug events (ADE) related to domperidone were collected. Websites of European Medicines Agency, Food and Drug Administration of United States, Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), Health Canada, and Therapeutic Goods Administration were searched and information of risks and benefits related to domperidone treatment were collected. Randomized controlled trails (RCTs) were Meta-analyzed using RevMan 5.2 software and other data were descriptively analyzed. Correlation analysis of domperidone and adverse drug reactions was performed using evaluation criteria of WHO. Severity of ADR/ADE was evaluated using criteria CTCAE 4.03 of United States Department of Health and Human Services.ResultsA total of 9 RCTs, 1 cohort study, 4 self-controlled studies, and 24 case reports were entered in this study. Meta-analysis of 9 RCTs showed the following results. There were no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR in children between the domperidone group and the control groups of placebo, cisapride, and mosapride. The incidence of ADR in children in the domperidone group was lower than that in the metoclopramide (RR=0.44, 95%CI: 0.23-0.86, P=0.02), and higher than that in the Traditional Chinese Medicine group (RR=16.09, 95%CI: 2.01-129.04, P=0.01). There were no serious adverse events of domperidone reported in the 9 RCTs. It was showed in the self-controlled study that oral domperidone was associated with QTc prolongation in neonates. One hundred and one cases of ADR were reported in 24 case reports. Of them, 80 cases (79.2%) of ADR were mild-to-moderate (CTCAE grading 1-2), 21 cases (20.8%) of ADR were severe (CTCAE grading 3), and no ADR with CTCAE grading 4-5 was reported. The results of causality assessment on above mentioned 101 cases of ADR showed that 2 cases of ADR were associated with domperidone certainly, 76 were probably, 15 cases of ADR induced by drug overdose, and 2 cases induced by combination use of medicines that may cause the same adverse reactions. In April 2014, European Medicines Agency suggested to limit clinical indications and dosage of domperidone. In September 2014, MHRA of Britain announced that domperidone was no longer to use as over-the-counter.ConclusionsNo enough evidences to prove that the incidence of ADR induced by domperidone was higher than that by the placebo, other gastro-kinetic agents, and other conventional treatments in children. The risks of serious ADR occurrence existed in children with domperidone treatment.

    Strychni semen is the dried ripe seed of Strychnos nuxvomica L. The crude drug contains alkaloids, of which the main alkaloids are strychnine and brucine. Strychnine is the main toxic component of strychni semen. Generally, the oral intoxicating dose of strychnine in adults is 5~10 mg, and the oral lethal dose is 30 mg. Strychnine can cause excitation of all parts of the central nervous system. Early signs of intoxication are headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, restlessness, and slight twitching. Generalized convulsion, increasing sensitivity of sense organs, trismus, risus sardonicus, opisthotonus, dysphagia, and dyspnea follow. The patients often die from respiratory arrest. The principle of therapy in strychni semen poisoning is the prevention or control of convulsions and asphyxia. Management includes gastric lavage, the administration of activated charcoal, sedation with diazepam or phenobarbital, respiration support, and symptomatic treatment. The following precautions should be taken for safe use of strychni semen: crude drug should not be used, and the dosage should conform to the dosage limit in Chinese Pharmacopoeia; strychni semen should not combine with some drugs such as spirit, poppy capsule, musk, and so on; strychni semen is contraindicated in pregnant women; strychni semen should be used with caution in patients with liver and renal function insufficiency, neurological disorders, hypertension, and heart disease; overuse and prolonged use of strychni semen should be avoided, otherwise careful monitoring should be performed; the dosage should be adjusted when using strychni semen from different producing area.

    Statins are hydroxymethyl glutarate coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, which have been used widely in clinical practice as lipid-lowering drugs currently. The clinical features of statin-induced liver injury (SILI) are not special and similar to that of other drug-induced liver injury. The hepatocellular type of SILI is more common, the cholestatic type is less common, and mixed type is rare. The mechanisms of SILI may be associated with toxicity of statins, secondary pharmacological effects of statins, immune mechanisms, and so on. The risk factors for SILI are high-dose, drug combination, a history of liver disease, etc. If the liver damage is mild, the drug dosage should be reduced and the drug is continued; if the liver damage is moderate, the drug dosage of statins should be reduced and hepatoprotective treatment should be given at the same time; if the liver damage is severe, statins should be stopped at once and symptomatic treatments should be given. During treatment with statins, clinicians should control strictly the dosage of statins, enhance laboratory monitoring, avoid drug combination, and tell the patients to improve nutritional status and pay attention to rest. Statins should be used with caution in patients with liver diseases. The SILI is reversible in most patients.

    Sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are currently widely used as a class of hypoglycemic drugs. Due to their unique hypoglycemic mechanism and significant cardio-renal protective effect, SGLT2i have become one of the core drugs in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, in recent years, it has been found that SGLT2i can lead to increased serum creatinine and urea nitrogen in some patients, and the risk of kidney injury has gradually attracted clinical attention. How to effectively prevent and supervise the potential renal injury risk while giving full play to its therapeutic advantages has become an important topic in current clinical practice and drug safety management. Multi-dimensional prevention and supervision strategies should be adopted in clinical practice such as identifying high-risk populations based on the latest evidence, strictly screening patients, dynamically monitoring renal function, optimizing combination medication regimens, and achieving risk warning using biomarkers and artificial intelligence tools.

    Objective To mine and analyze the signals of the adverse event (AE) of erenumab and provide reference for the safe application of the drug. Methods The reports of AE from 2004 to the first quarter of 2023 were extracted from the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database, and the full data and data after 2018 were analyzed respectively. AEs were classified according to preferred term (PT) and the system organ class (SOC) of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) 23.0 version for statistical analysis. The reported odds ratio (ROR) method and Bayesian confidence progressive neural network (BCPNN) method were used to mine the AE risk signals. Results A total of 38-348 AE reports with erenumab as the primary suspect drug were collected, involving 2-629 PTs. The number of risk signals screened by the ROR and BCPNN methods from the full data and data after 2018 was 99 and 115, respectively, involving 19 SOCs. Among them, the most frequently reported AEs were injection site reactions and constipation, which were consistent with the label. Among the top 30 PTs, 13 were not recorded in the label, including pineal cyst, postural tachycardia, positive histone antibody, spastic eye movements, fear of injection, post-concussion syndrome, Raynaud effect, psychogenic seizures, coronary artery dissection, premature menopause, trichorrhexis, collagen disease, and blepharospasm. Conclusion In clinical application of erenumab, in addition to the adverse reactions recorded in the label, attention should also be paid to the adverse events mined in this study.

    A 55-year-old female patient took acarbose, benazepril, and levamlodipine besylate intermittently and aspirin enteric-coated tablets and atorvastatin calcium regularly due to type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension, etc. After changing to bezafibrate for lipid-lowering and Gansulin 30R for glucose lowering (other treatments continued), the patient developed muscle soreness of both lower limbs and dark brown urine 7 days later. Laboratory tests showed aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 213-U/L, creatine kinase (CK) 8-655-U/L, CK-MB 555-U/L, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) 579-U/L, α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (α-HBDH) 505-U/L, and myoglobin (MYO) 135-μg/L. Rhabdomyolysis was considered, which might be related to bezafibrate. Then bezafibrate was stopped. The patient was asked to drink plenty of water and urinate frequently, and the symptomatic and supportive treatments such as rehydration, alkalization of urine, liver protection, and kidney protection were given. After 11 days of drug withdrawal, her symptom of muscle soreness was relieved and the color of urine became lighter; laboratory tests showed CK 105-U/L and MYO 119-μg/L. After 18 days of drug withdrawal, the patient′s myalgia disappeared, urine color returned to normal; laboratory tests showed AST 37-U/L, CK 75-U/L, CK-MB 45-U/L, MYO 75-μg/L, and LDH 241-U/L.

     A 44-year-old male patient received moxifloxacin 0.4 g orally once daily for pulmonary infection. He had normal renal function with serum creatinine (Scr) 67-μmol/L before treatment. Three days after medication, the patient developed abdominal pain, vomiting, oliguria, and 5 days later, laboratory tests showed Scr 1-372-μmol/L, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) 30.5-mmol/L, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 3.3-ml/(min·1.73 m2). Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis was diagnosed by renal puncture and pathological examination. Drug-induced kidney injury was considered, which might be related to moxifloxacin. Moxifloxacin was discontinued and hemodialysis, anti-infection, and symptomatic treatments were given. The patient′s urine volume gradually recovered and renal function was improved. Fifteen days later, his Scr was 293-μmol/L and BUN was 10.5-mmol/L. One and a half months later, the Scr was 185-μmol/L and BUN was 9.8-mmol/L.

    A 32-year-old male patient with hyperplasia of mammary glands took 5 Rupishu tablets (乳癖舒片) orally thrice daily by himself for about 2 years. Due to the poor treatment effect, he received additional 7 Xiaojin capsules orally twice daily according to the doctor′s advice. The patient′s liver function was normal during the monotherapy with Rupishu tablets. After 50 days of medication with the 2 drugs, the patient developed dark urine and yellowish skin and pruritus. Twelve days later, laboratory tests showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 1-068-U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 562-U/L, total bilirubin (TBil) 106.9-μmol/L, direct bilirubin (DBil) 84-μmol/L, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 175-U/L. He was diagnosed as having severe drug-induced liver injury, which was considered to be associated with Xiaojin capsules. Then both drugs were discontinued. Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate injection and adenosylmethionine for injection were given for liver protection. Twelve days later, laboratory tests showed ALT 163-U/L, AST 52-U/L, TBil 36.1μmol/L, DBil 21.7μmol/L, and ALP 142-U/L. After that, the patient took the above 2 drugs by himself again. Twenty days later, the symptoms above-mentioned and abnormal liver function recurred. Xiaojin capsules were stopped and anti-inflammatory and liver-protective treatments were given. Twenty-three days later, laboratory tests showed ALT 25-U/L, AST 19-U/L, TBil 14.3-μmol/L, DBil 3.6-μmol/L, and ALP 76-U/L.

    Sunitinib is one of the targeting multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Sunitinib is used to treat advanced renal cell carcinoma, and refractory gastrointestinal stromal tumor patients with which are intolerant or resistant to imatinib. The common adverse reactions of sunitinib include fatigue and weakness, mucocutaneous adverse reactions (hand foot skin reaction, changing in skin color, hair depigmentation, splinter hemorrhages, stomatitis, and lipsotrichia), adverse reactions in cardiovascular system (hypertension, left ventricular ejection fraction decrease with or without symptoms, heart failure), and hypothyroidism etc. The mechanism of fatigue and weakness may be related to the inhibition of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase, inducing hypoxia, influence of glucose transport, and decreased capability of glucose uptake. The mechanism of adverse reactions in mucocutaneous tissues may be related to the inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor, blocking the activation of melanocyte microphthalmia associated transcription factor, inhibition of signal transduction and activators of transcription 3, promoting the expression of Fas/Fas L, and inducing the mitochondrial injury. The mechanism of adverse reactions in cardiovascular system may be related to the off-target effects to heart platelet-derived growth factor receptor and the inhibition of heart angiogenesis, the inhibition of ribosomal protein S6 kinase and AMP dependent protein kinase, inducing the mitochondrial injury, and he inhibition of nitric oxide production. The mechanism of hypothyroidism due to sunitinib may be related to the decrease of  the blood supply of thyroid and inhibition of the activity of thyroid peroxidase induced by antiangiogenesis of sunitinib.

    Objective To summarize the relevant evidence for the prevention of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) after enhanced CT examination in patients with nephropathy. Methods The literature on prevention of CA-AKI in patients with nephropathy who underwent enhanced CT examination in relevant websites and medical literature databases at home and abroad were systematically searched, the quality of the literature was evaluated, and the relevant evidence was extracted and summarized. The retrieval period was from January 1, 2013 to December 1, 2023. Results A total of 17 literature was included, including 6 guidelines, 5 expert consensuses, 2 clinical decisions, 2 cohort studies, 1 evidence summary and 1 systematic review. Evidence was extracted from these literature. After summary and analysis of these evidence, 10 evidence topics were sorted out, including threshold of estimated glomerular filtration rate and high-risk population, screening, hydration prevention, drug prevention, use of nephrotoxic drugs, use of metformin, precautions for dialysis patients, alternative imaging strategies, choice of iodine contrast agents, and points for attention after enhanced CT examination, forming 47 pieces of evidence. Conclusion The relevant evidence for the prevention of CA-AKI can provide a more systematic evidence- based basis for medical staffs in screening high-risk population and preventing and managing CA-AKI in patients with chronic kidney disease before enhanced CT examination.

    A 74-year-old male patient underwent posterior lumbar decompression, fusion, and internal fixation under general anesthesia for lumbar spinal stenosis. Sevoflurane (1.5%), propofol, sufentanil, etomidate, and cisatracurium were used for anesthesia, followed by dexamethasone for allergy prevention, cefuroxime for infection prevention, and hydroxyethyl starch for hemodynamic stabilization. Inhalation of sevoflurane (1.5%) and introvenous pumping of remifentanil 300-μg/h and phenylephrine 0.4-mg/h were given for anesthesia maintenance during the operation. The operation process went smoothly and no anaphylaxis occurred within 4 hours. At the end of the operation, vancomycin powder 1 g was given topically at the surgical site and intravenous injection of flurbiprofen axetil 50-mg was given 15-minutes later. Twenty minutes after the medication, the patient′s pulse oxygen saturation was not detectable and the blood pressure fell to 45/20-mmHg. Severe anaphylaxis was diagnosed. The central vein was immediately switched on, and intravenous injection of epinephrine and norepinephrine and intermittently intravenous injection of norepinephrine were given. Ten minutes later, the pulse oxygen saturation returned to 1.00 and 15-minutes later, the blood pressure became stable. At the same time, 2 000-ml of sodium lactate Ringer′s injection was given. The patient was in stable condition 5 hours later and was transferred out of the operating room. The severe anaphylaxis in this patient was considered to be related to vancomycin and flurbiprofen axetil.

    The common atypical antipsychotics are aripiprazole, clozapine, olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, and ziprasidone. Sex differences are presented in the pharmacokinetics and adverse reactions of atypical antipsychotics. Because of the lower CYP1A2 activity in women, the plasma clozapine and olanzapine concentrations are higher in women than in men. Risperidone causes hyperprolactinaemia in women, which lead to higher incidence rates of osteoporosis and sexual dysfunction in women than in men. Studies suggest that the incidence rate of metabolic syndrome is higher in women than in men: the incidence rates of obesity, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia and decreased HDL level in women and men are 76.3% vs 35.5%, 46.9% vs 47.2%, 42.2% vs 50.7%, 48.9% vs 63.3%, respectively; the incidence rates of hyperglycemia [≥100 mg/dl(5.55 mmol/L) and ≥110 mg/dl(6.10 mmol/L)] in women and in men are 30.0% vs 21.7% and 24.2% vs 14.1%, respectively. The incidence rates of prolonged QTc interval and extrapyramidal symptoms of atypical antipsychotics are higher in women than in men. Some atypical antipsychotics have adverse effects to the fetus.

    A 42-year-old male patient, who suffered serious wound pollution due to falling after drinking, received an intravenous infusion of levofloxacin hydrochloride injection 0.2 g dissolved in 0.9% sodium chloride injection 250-ml to prevent infection. When the first dose of levofloxacin was infused intravenously for about 2-minutes (about 4-ml), the patient suddenly developed dyspnea, restlessness, and agitation. His heart rate was 120 beats per minute, breath rate was 26 times per minute, blood pressure was undetectable, and blood oxygen saturation was 0.80. Levofloxacin was immediately discontinued and antiallergic therapy such as epinephrine and dexamethasone was given. Two minutes later, the patient′s heart rate dropped to 50 beats per minute, breathing decreased to 8 times per minute, and cyanotic appeared on the skin. Anaphylactic shock and type 2 respiratory failure were diagnosed and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, tracheal intubation, balloon assisted ventilation, and norepinephrine etc. were given immediately. Three hours later, the patient developed dark urine and elevated creatine kinase (CK), myoglobin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and serum creatinine (Scr). His peak value of CK was 17-160-U/L, myoglobin was >3-000-μg/L, and peak value of Scr was 492-μmol/L. Rhabdomyolysis with acute kidney injury was considered. The symptomatic and supportive treatments such as hemofiltration, plasma infusion, correction of acidosis, and fluid replacement were given. Ten hours later, the patient′s blood pressure returned to normal, ventilator assisted breathing was continued, and the patient′s condition was gradually improved. Thirty-four days later, the levels of myoglobin, CK and Scr returned to within the normal range. Thirty-eight days later, the patient returned to spontaneous breathing and the ventilator was withdrawn.

    A 37-year-old male patient with acute myelomonocytic leukemia received cytarabine combined with idarubicin for 4 times. The patient did not develop rash or skin damage during the chemotherapy except for myelosuppression and vomiting. The patient developed slight itching on the extremities on the 4th day after the 5th intravenous infusion of idarubicin (20-mg once daily, on day 1) and cytarabine (1-900-mg once per 12-hours, on day 1 to 4), and no special treatment was given. On the 2nd day after finishing the chemotherapy, the patient developed obvious dark brown pigmentation on both cheeks and red papules on his back and bilateral waist, which was considered to be related to combination use of cytarabine and idarubicin. Chlorphenamine maleate 4-mg orally once per 12-hours, and IV infusions of 20% vitamin C injection 5-ml+0.9% sodium chloride injection 100 ml+10% calcium gluconate injection 10-ml once daily were given.

    Objective: To investigate and analyse the rationality of use and cost of antimicrobials for prophylaxis during surgical procedures. Methods: The medical records of 83 surgical patients in a hospital were collected from the 1st to the 31st of October,2005,and the rationality of use and cost of antimicrobials was analysed. Results: The irrational use of antimicrobials during surgical procedures was as follows: The duration of antimicrobials use was more than 2 days(80/83,96.4%). The timing of the first dose was not within 2 hours before incision. The selection of antimicrobials was incorrect(54/83,65.1%). Secondly,the antimicrobials effect was influenced by inappropriate combination,dosage and dilution. In addition,the susceptibility testing was ignored. The investigation showed that the application of antimicrobials was higher(100%),while the cost of antimicrobials was reasonable,it accounted for 21.9% in total. Conclusion: It is necessary to carry out "Guidelines on Clinical Use of Antimicrobials"for some inappropriate uses of antimicrobials for prophylaxis during surgical procedures in order to improve the rational use of antimicrobials.

    A 19-year-old male patient received diuretics, cardiac function improvement, anti- infection, and liver-protective treatments for heart failure and various co-existing diseases. Ivabradine 2.5-mg twice daily was given due to his higher heart rate [90-110 beats per minutes (bpm) ], but the heart rate did not decrease (94-110 bpm). The dose of ivabradine was increased to 5-mg twice daily after 3 days of medication and the heart rate decreased slowly. After 3 days of ivabradine dose-increase, the heart rate of the patient was 71-89 bpm. On the 4th day, the patient ate about 200 g of pomelo. After that, his heart rate continued to decrease, which was 50 bpm on the 6th day. Bradycardia caused by ivabradine was considered and the drug was stopped. The heart rate of patient was 76-131 bpm 3 days after the drug withdrawal. Changes of heart rate of the patient before and after eating the pomelo suggested that there might be food-drug interaction between pomelo and ivabradine.

    Objective To mine the risk signals of adverse events (AEs) in mavacamten treatment for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and provide reference for safe use of the drug in clinic. Methods AE reports on mavacamten from June 2022 to June 2024 were collected by searching US Food and Drug Adminis- tration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. AEs were classified and standardized according to the system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities version 26.1. Reporting odds ratio (ROR) method and comprehensive standard method of the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) were used to mine the AE risk signals. An AE that simultaneously met the criteria of ≥3 reports, lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of ROR >1, PRR ≥2, and χ2 ≥4 was defined as a risk signal. Descriptive statistical analysis on signals was performed. Results A total of 1 041 AE reports were collected, involving 47 PTs and 12 SOCs. The top 10 risk signals based on the number of AE reports were dyspnea, dizziness, fatigue, atrial fibrillation, cardiac failure, palpitation, nasopharyngitis, chest pain, COVID-19, and weight increased. Except dizziness and heart failure, above AEs were not recorded in the label. The top 10 risks in signal intensity were acquired left ventricle outflow tract obstruction, transvalvular pressure gradient increased, cardiovascular symptom, echocardiogram abnormal, hypervolaemia, left ventricular failure, ejection fraction decreased, coronavirus infection, brain fog, and atrial fibrillation. Except cardiovascular symptom, left ventricular failure, and ejection fraction decreased, above AEs were not recorded in the label. Conclusions The AE risk signals of mavacamten in the treatment for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy recorded in the label are mainly heart failure and ejection fraction decreased. Clinicians and pharmacists should also be vigilant against risk signals not recorded in the lakel, such as atrial fibrillation, fatigue, nasopharyngitis, coronavirus infection, and brain fog, etc.

    Objective To investigate the current status of polypharmacy among elderly outpatients with 4 types of chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on the drug use of elderly (≥65 years old) outpatients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease with data of Beijing Municipal Health Insurance Centre database from July 2017 to September 2017. The included patients had at least 1 of 4 types of chronic diseases. Polypharmacy was defined as ≥5 different types of medication at the first visit, and non-polypharmacy was defined as <5 types of medication. The number and severity of comorbidity were quantified using the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and the prognosis of patient was evaluated at 4 levels of 0, 1, 2, and ≥3 scores. The larger the value, the more severe the disease. Based on the Beers Criteria 2015, the potential inappropriate medication (PIM) was identified using the prescription review system of Puhua Health. Results A total of 405-608 patients were included in this study, with a median age of 74 (65-107) years , and 204-219 patients (50.35%) were female. According to the type of medication used by patients, they were divided into polypharmacy group (113-594 cases, 28.01%) and non-polypharmacy group (292-014 cases, 71.99%). The CCI of the polypharmacy group was significantly higher than that of the non-polypharmacy group (P<0.001). The proportion of patients with 0, 1, 2, and ≥3 scores in the polypharmacy group was significantly higher than that of the non-polypharmacy group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). In terms of comorbidity, the proportions of patients among the 4 types of chronic diseases were higher in the polypharmacy group than in the non-polypharmacy group (P<0.001). In terms of concomitant diseases, the proportion of patients with hyperlipidemia, cognitive impairment, heart failure, and osteoporosis in the polypharmacy group was higher than that in the non-polypharmacy group (all P<0.001). In terms of medical treatment behaviour, the median number of medical visits was higher in the polypharmacy group than in the non-polypharmacy group [2(1,3) vs. 1(1,2), P<0.001]. In terms of evaluating the unsuitability of medication, the proportion of patients with PIM in the polypharmacy group was higher than that in the non-polypharmacy group, including repeated medication [4.60% (5-227/113 594) vs. 1.64% (4-486/292 014)], contraindications [2.97% (3-376/113 594) vs. 1.13% (3-294/292 014)], interactions [6.51% (7-399/113 594) vs. 1.94% (5-658/292 014)], and lack of indications [22.39% (25-432/113 594) vs. 13.54% (39-543/292 014)], and the differences were all significant (all P<0.001). In terms of drug use categories, the top 5 most commonly prescribed drugs in the polypharmacy group were HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (68-318 cases, 60.14%), dihydropyridines (60-951 cases, 53.66%), angiotensin receptor antagonists(45-050 cases, 39.66%), β-receptor blockers (25-675 cases, 22.60%) and sulfonylureas (16-023 cases, 14.11%). Conclusions Polypharmacy is common in elderly patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, and cerebrovascular disease. The elderly patients with polypharmacy have a worse baseline status and more problems with PIM.

    With the promotion of innovative medical models such as patient-centered multidiscip- linary team (MDT), more and more pharmacists are playing an important role. Owing to their education background, knowledge structure, and professional sensitivity, pharmacists pay more attention to the prevention of the adverse drug reactions/adverse events. They work closely with other medical staffs and support each other in the team to improve the safety of drug therapy in difficult and complex cases through medication reconciliation, participation in development of treatment strategy, carrying out pharmaceutical care, and patient education, etc. Pharmacists should actively participate in MDT, explore and establish standardi- zed pharmaceutical care process and mode, carry out relevant clinical studies, summarize and share experience in time, so as to promote the sustainable development of pharmaceutical care in MDT and give full play to the role in ensuring medication safety in patients.

    A 69-year-old female patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus received an IV infusion of alpha thioctic acid injection 0.6 g dissolved in 0.9% sodium chloride injection 250-ml for peripheral neuropathy. Eighteen hours after drug withdrawal, the patient had a sudden cold sweat with fatigue, dizziness, and hunger at night. After that, the patient repeatedly had paroxysmal cold sweat with dizziness and fatigue at night, which could be relieved after eating. The peripheral blood glucose at onset of symptoms was 2.1-mmol/L. Laboratory tests showed that fasting insulin was more than 6-945-pmol/L, insulin autoantibody was positive, and insulin release index was more than 29.00. The patient was diagnosed as having autoimmune hypoglycemia, which was considered to be related to alpha thioctic acid injection. Prednisone acetate 10-mg was given orally, thrice daily. Her symptoms of hypoglycemia were relieved 3 days later and disappeared 5 days later. Thereafter, prednisone acetate dose was gradually reduced to 1.25-mg/d and stopped about one year and 7 months later. During the treatment, her insulin autoantibody turned negative, serum insulin returned to normal, and hypoglycemia did not recur.

    Fluoxetine is one of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which is often used for treating depression and obsessivecompulsive disorder. Fluoxetine cardiotoxicity includes arrhythmia, torsades de pointes ventricular tachycardia, QT internal prolongation syndrome, serious cardiac damage, and death. The mechanism of cardiac adverse reactions caused by fluoxetine remains uncertain presently. Fluoxetine can cause interactions with some drugs that are metabolized by CYP2D6 leading to cardiac adverse reactions. Clinicians should exercise caution when prescribing fluoxetine to patient with cardiovascular disease, female patients, and elderly patients. ECG monitoring might be performed, if necessary.

    A 45-year-old female patient received oral methimazole and propylthiouracil for hyperthyroidism. The drug was discontinued 2 weeks later due to methimazole-induced agranulocytosis. About 1 month later, the patient was re-given methimazole 10-mg thrice daily according to the doctor′s instructions and advice. She developed high fever and chills about 2 hours after the first administration and half on after the second administration, respectively, with a maximum body temperature of 39.5-℃. The laboratory tests showed WBC 5.99×109/L, neutrophil 0.91, C-reactive protein 2.3-mg/L, and negative bacterial blood culture. Drug fever caused by methimazole was considered. Methimazole was stopped and symptomatic treatment was given. Four and a half hours later, the patient′s body temperature dropped to 36.5-℃. At 1 year of follow-up, the patient did not take methimazole again, and neither high fever nor chills recurred.

    Objective To mine the adverse events (AE) of nervous system caused by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors, and provide reference for the safe use of EGFR inhibitors in clinics. Methods AE of nervous system caused by gefitinib, erlotinib, afatinib and osimertinib were searched from FDA Adverse Drug Event Reporting System (FAERS) database using OpenVigil data platform from 2004, 2004, 2013, and 2015 to the 2nd quarter of 2023, respectively. The AE was standardized using the preferred term (PT) in the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 23.0 version. Data such as patient general condition and AE of nervous system was extracted from AE reports and was analyzed descriptively. Reporting odds ratio (ROR) and proportional reporting ratio (PRR) methods were used for detection of AE signal of nervous system. AE that simultaneously met the following conditions was considered as a risk signal: the number of report cases ≥3, lower limit of the 95% confidence interval of ROR≥1, PRR≥2, and χ2≥4. Results A total of 422 nervous system AE cases related to gifitinib were collected, involving 297 patients and 42 preferred terms (PT); 10 risk signals were detected, including dementia, brain oedema, demyelina- tion, leukoencephalopathy, hemiplegia, vocal cord paralysis, neurological symptom, cerebral atrophy, intracranial pressure increase and neuropathy, with 64 AE cases involved. One thousand seven hundred and fifty?five nervous system AE cases related to erlotinib were collected, involving 1?477 patients and 69 PT; 7 risk signals were detected, including ageusia, hyperaesthesia, facial pain, demyelination, motion sickness, vocal cord paralysis, peripheral paralysis, with 142 AE cases involved. Two hundred and forty?seven nervous system AE cases related to afatinib were collected, involving 212 patients and 32 PT; 7 risk signals were detected, including ageusia, cerebral infarction, brain oedema, epilepsy, central nervous system lesion, leukoencephalopathy, cerebral disorder, with 49 AE cases involved. Six hundred and fifty?two nervous system AE cases related to osimertinib were collected, involving 582 patients and 46 PT; 3 risk signals were detected, including cerebral infarction, vocal cord paralysis, facial paralysis, with 54 AE cases involved. Ageusia was an AE already included in the label of afatinib, while other AE were not included. Conclusion Most of the EGFR inhibitor?related AE signals found in the FAERS database are not included in the labels, and should be monitored during the clinical use.

    Objective: To observe the efficacy and safety of fexofenadine in treating seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) and chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU). Methods: In a double-blind, double-dummy, randomized, controlled, multicenter phase Ⅱ clinical trial, the efficacy and safety of fexofenadine (60 mg twice daily) were compared with cetirizine (10 mg/d) in the treatment of SAR and CIU. The duration of treatment was 14 d for patients with SAR and 28 d for patients with CIU. Results: One hundred and forty-four patients with SAR entered the trial. Of the 144 patients, 64 receiving fexofenadine and 68 receiving cetirizine were included in PPS. The symptom score reducing index and overall effective rate in fexofenadine group were 0.719±0.182 and 85.94%, respectively. There were statistically deferences between the fexofenadine group and cetirizine group (P<0.05). One hundred and forty-four patients with CIU entered the trial. Of the 144 patients, 67 receiving fexofenadine and 68 receiving cetirizine were included in PPS. The symptoms score reducing index and overall effective rate in fexofenadine group were 0.771±0.269 and 80.60%, recpectively. There were no marked differences between the two groups (P>0.05). There were no serious adverse reactions in the two groups. The incidence of adverse reactions in the fexofenadine and cetirizine groups was 17.6% and 16.9%, respectively, and there were no significantstastistically deferences between the two groups (P>0.05). The manifestations of adverse reactions in the two groups were similar, and the main of them was drowsiness and dry mouth. There were no obvious changes of ECG after dosing in the two groups, and no significant differences of QTc before and after dosing between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Fexofenadine is an effective and safe medication for treating seasonal allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria.

    Medication errors have become a serious public health problem. Elderly patients have the highest incidence of medication errors. The risk factors of medication errors in elderly patients include suffering from more co-existing diseases, multiple drug use (including high-alert drugs), liver and kidney dysfunction, cognitive impairment, and living alone. The common types of medication errors in elderly patients include drug omission, failure to take medicine according to the scheduled time, wrong medication method, repeated medication due to forgetting, over dose medication, mistakenly taking drugs prohibited to be taken at the same time, and etc. Clinicians and pharmacists should participate in the medication management in the elderly patients together. Clinicians should strengthen communication with patients when prescribing prescriptions and pharmacists should strengthen the prescription review, so as to improve their medication compliance. It is suggested that medication education in the elderly patients should be patiently carried out with oral and written forms, electronic equipment could be used to help remind elderly patients of medication, and the family members of elderly patients with memory impairment should be asked to participate in the medication management.

    ObjectiveTo understand occurrence of bleeding related to drug interactions in patients who received combined treatment with warfarin and other drugs in Department of Cardiovascular Medicine and investigate control measures.MethodsThe data of inpatients using warfarin in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Peking University First Hospital from January 2012 to June 2013 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The conditions of concomitant drugs and occurrence of bleeding possibly caused by drug interactions were recorded and the drugs which were commonly used in the Department were screened.ResultsA total of 141 patients were enrolled including 90 men aged from 21 to 83 years with an average age of (63±13) years and 51 women aged from 43 to 85 years with an average age of (65±11) years. Most protopathy was atrial fibrillation which accounted for 79.4% (112 cases). Of the 141 patients, there were 14 cases (9.9%) of slight bleeding possibly because of drug interactions including 5 cases of stool occult blood, 3 cases of dermal ecchymosis and 1 case had each of the following: operative wound bleeding, oral mucosal bleeding and blood in phlegm, colporrhagia, epistaxis, hematuresis, and gum bleeding. The occurrence of bleeding in the 14patients involved totally 9 kinds of drugs containing low molecular weight heparin (related to 9 cases), atorvastatin (related to 6 cases), amiodarone (related to 4 cases), acarbose (related to 3 cases), aspirin (related to 4 cases), propafenone (related to 3 cases), omeprazole (related to 2 cases), clopidogrel (related to 2 cases), and moxifloxacin (related to 1 case) and, of them, the highest occurrence was due to low molecular weight heparin, which accounted for 64.2%. In the 9 kinds of drugs in the 141 patients, low molecular weight heparin had the highest concomitant frequency combined with warfarin accounted for 731%(103/141) and moxifloxacin had the highest bleeding incidence accounted of 1/5.ConclusionsBleeding may be caused by drug reactions due to combination therapy with warfarin and parts of clinical common cardiovascular drugs. Positive clinical pharmaceutical care of warfarin will be of great importance in prevention of bleeding.

    Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF) treatment during the second or third trimester of pregnancy for preventing mother-to-infant transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies on efficacy and safety of TDF in the second and third trimester of pregnancy for the prevention of mother-to- infant transmission of HBV were collected by searching related databases at home and abroad (up to July 20, 2019). Quality of RCTs and cohort studies were evaluated using bias risk assessment tool of Cochrane collaboration networks and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, respectively. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. The continuous data were expressed using standardized mean difference (SMD) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). The effect values of meta-analysis of dichotomous variables were expressed using odds ratio (OR) and its 95%CI for effectiveness outcome or risk ratio (RR) and 95%CI for safety outcome. Results A total of 12 studies (2 RCTs and 10 cohort studies) were entered, including 1 326 HBV-infected mothers and their 1 281 infants, of which 729 mothers took TDF (the TDF group) and 597 mothers were without intervention or took placebo (the control group) in the second or third trimester of pregnancy. The results of quality evaluation showed that one of the 2 RCTs was at low risk of bias and the other one was at high risk of bias; 9 of the 10 cohort studies were of high quality and one was of medium quality. The meta analysis for effectiveness outcomes showed that the baseline HBV DNA level in patients in the TDF group was significantly higher than that in the control group (SMD=0.15, 95%CI: 0.04-0.26, P=0.008), the prenatal HBV DNA level in patients in the TDF group was significantly lower than that in the control group (SMD=-5.41, 95%CI: -7.26--3.56, P<0.001), the proportion of mothers with HBV DNA undetected before delivery in the TDF group was significantly higher than that in the control group [20.3% (41/202) vs. 2.0% (4/203), OR=27.55, 95%CI: 7.32-103.85, P<0.001], and the HBV infection rate of infants born to mothers in the TDF group was significantly lower than that in the control group [0.8% (5/618) vs. 9.1% (47/516), RR=0.13, 95%CI: 0.07-0.27, P<0.001]. The meta analysis for safety outcomes showed that the differences in the incidence of birth defects, mortality, birth weight, height and head circumference between the TDF group and the control group were not statistically significant (P>0.05 for all), the difference in the incidence of postpartum alanine aminotransferase level rise between the TDF group and the control group was not statistically significant (P>0.05); the results of one study showed that the proportion of mothers with grade 1-2 asymptomatic creatine kinase increase in the TDF group was higher than that in the control group [7.2% (7/97) vs. 0 (0/100), P=0.006] and the differences in the incidence of other adverse pregnancy events and complications in the 2 groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05 for all). Conclusion The treatment of TDF in the second and third trimester of pregnancy can effectively prevent mother-to-infant transmission of HBV and has no significant impact on growth and development of the fetus.

    Objective To mine risk signals of adverse events (AE) related to methylphenidate in children, and provide insights for the safe clinical use of the drug. Methods AE reports of children with methylphenidate as primary suspect drug were collected from the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database during the 1st quarter of 2004 to the 1st quarter of 2023. The AEs were standardized and classified using the preferred term (PT) and system organ class (SOC) of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 26.0, and the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method and Bayesian confidence propagation nerve (BCPNN) method were used respectively to mine the AE risk signals of the drug. An AE with reports
    ≥3, the lower limit of the 95%CI of ROR>1,and information component (IC)-2SD>0 was defined as a risk signal. Descriptive analysis on the risk signals was performed. Results A total of 13?777 reports were collected. Two hundred risk signals were obtained using ROR and BCPNN method, involving 18 SOCs. Top 10 PTs in the number of reports were decreased appetite, aggression, headache, insomnia, agitation, psychomotor hyperactivity, anxiety, irritability, tics, and suicidal ideation, of which suicidal ideation was not recorded in the label; the SOCs involved were psychiatric disorders, metabolism and nutrition disorders, nervous system disorders. Top 10 PTs by signal strength were coronary artery dissection, Huntington′s disease, zoophobia, nail picking, polydipsia, lip?biting disorder, Alice in Wonderland syndrome, depression, onychophagia, and dermatillomania, all adverse reactions except depression were not recorded in the label; the SOCs involved were cardiac disorders, various congenital familial genetic disorders, and psychiatric disorders. Conclusions The main AEs related to methylphenidate in children are decreased appetite, aggression, headache, insomnia, and other adverse reactions recorded in the label. However, methylpheni- date may also lead to adverse reactions such as suicidal ideation, coronary artery dissection, Huntington′s disease, nail picking, and other adverse reactions not recorded in the label. Clinicians and pharmacists should be vigilant during the use of methylphenidate.

    Objective To analyze the occurrence of medication errors (MEs) and their influen- cing factors on proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and to provide reference for the standard use of PPIs in clinic. Methods The ME reports on PPI-related MEs in the National Monitoring Network for Clinical Safe Medication (monitoring network) from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, were collected and information of MEs including drugs involved, ME grading, error content, the persons who triggered and found the errors, and the factors that caused the errors were analyzed. Results A total of 593 PPI-related ME reports from 97-hospitals in 21 provinces and municipalities in China were collected in the monitoring network in 2020. A total of 593 patients were involved, including 358 males (60.4%) and 235 females (39.6%), aged from 1 to 99 years old with an average age of 53.7 years. In the 593 MEs, there were 418 (70.5%), 167 (28.2%), 7 (1.2%), and 1 (0.2%) MEs were graded as grade B, C, D, and E, respectively; a total of 6 kinds of PPIs were involved and 649 times of ME occurred, of which 177 times (27.2%) were related to omeprazole, 143 (22.0%) to rabeprazole, 135 (20.8%) to esomeprazole, 123 (19.0%) to pantoprazole, 66 (10.2%) to lansoprazole, and 5 (0.8%) to ilaprazole. Among the 593 patients, the medication indications for PPIs included prevention of stress mucosal injury in 303 patients (51.1%), gastroesophageal reflux disease in 91 patients (15.3%), peptic ulcer in 64 patients (10.8%), upper gastrointestinal bleeding in 25 patients (4.2%), helicobacter pylori infection eradication in 6 patients (1.0%), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-related ulcers in 6 patients (1.0%). There were 103 patients (17.4%) received PPIs without appropriate indications and 5 patients (0.8%) with 2 indications at the same time. The 593 ME reports involved a total of 609 times of ME content, and the wrong indication (16.9%, 103/609) ranked the first, followed by the wrong drug class (16.3%, 99/609) and the wrong medication frequency (14.0%, 85/609). Among the 593 MEs, 75.1% (445 MEs) were triggered by physician, 20.7% (123 MEs) by pharmacists, 2.5% (15 MEs) by nurse, 0.7% (4 MEs) by patients/family members, and 1.0% (6 MEs) by others; 418 MEs (70.5%) were detected and intercepted in time, of which 87.6% (366/418) were found by pharmacists, 8.1% (34/418) by nurses, and 4.3% (18/418) by patients/family members. The factors that caused MEs occurred 659 times in total, mainly including lack of knowledge/insufficient training (accounting for 50.8%, 335/659), fatigue (accounting for 18.4%, 121/659), and look alike/sound alike (accounting for 9.1%, 60/659). Conclusions The contents of PPIs-related MEs mainly include wrong indications, wrong drug class, and wrong medication frequency. MEs are mainly caused by physicians and mostly discovered and intercepted by pharmacists. Lack of knowledge/inadequate training is a major factor in causing MEs.

    A 34-year-old female patient with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection received quadruple therapy for eradication of Hp infection, which contained esomeprazole, colloidal bismuth pectin, amoxicillin, and furazolidone. Before the treatment, the patient′s physical examination results were normal except the positive 14C urea breath test. On day 6 of medication, the patient developed fever, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which returned to normal after drug withdrawal. About 20-minutes after taking furazolidone again 3 days later, the patient developed dizziness, amaurosis, vomiting, hand and foot convulsions with chills, unconsciousness, high fever, muscle soreness, fatigue, and generalized skin congestion with rash. Meanwhile her blood pressure was 76/34-mmHg. Laboratory tests showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 365-U/L and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 596-U/L. Anaphylactic shock, and drug-induced liver injury were consi- dered. It was considered that the anaphylactic shock might be related to furazolidone, and liver injury might be related to esomeprazole, amoxicillin, and furazolidone. Symptomatic treatments such as blood pressure-raising, cooling, anti-allergy, and liver-protective drugs were given immediately. Ten days later, the above-mentioned symptoms disappeared completely, her body temperature was 36.3-℃, blood pressure was 126/75-mmHg, ALT was 59-U/L, and AST was 38-U/L.

    Objective To understand the effect of rational use of traditional Chinese patent medicines on medication safety.MethodsBy using cluster sampling method, the adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports about traditional Chinese patent medicines (including traditional Chinese medicine for injections) derived from the Center for ADR Monitoring of Guangdong from January 1st, 2011 to December 31st, 2011, were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The information of the patients′ gender, ages, primary diseases, the suspected drugs causing ADR, drug combination, and the situation of ADR occurrence were collected. The situation of irrational drug use in these reports at 7 aspects such as indications, syndrome differentiation treatment, medication methods, dosage, combination of traditional Chinese patent medicines, concomitant use of the traditional Chinese medicines and the Western medicines, and suitability of medication were analyzed according to the protocol of evaluation standards of traditional Chinese patent medicine prescription and the rate of irrational drug use were calculated.ResultsA total of 283 reports in accordance with the inclusion criteria were collected, which comprised 283 patients. Of them, 150 were male and 133 were female with ages from 2 months to 88 years and an average age was (44±23) years. The primary diseases ranking at the top three were respiratory system disease (71 patients), nervous system disease (45 patients), and musculoskeletal system disease (42 patients). The traditional Chinese patent medicines involved in these reports were mainly antipyretic-detoxicating agents, blood activating and stasis removing agents, and reinforcing agents. The rates of irrational drug use associated with indications, medication methods, dosage, combination of traditional Chinese patent medicines, concomitant use of the traditional Chinese medicines and the Western medicines, and suitability of medication were 27.2% (77/283), 6.0% (17/283), 7.1% (20/283), 5.3% (15/283), 6.7% (19/283), 0.7% (2/283), respectively. Fifteen patients′ medication (46.8%)did not fit the syndrome differentiation classification among the 32 reports whose differentiation of syndromes could be identified.ConclusionsThe irrational drug use has marked effect on medication safety of traditional Chinese patent medicines and maybe one of the important factors in relation to adverse reactions induced by traditional Chinese patent medicines. In clinical use of traditional Chinese patent medicines, syndrome differentiation treatment should be the primary principle, medication beyond the indications should be avoided, more attention should be paid to usage and dosage of the drugs, and combination of function-similar traditional Chinese patent medicines and pharmacological action-similar traditional Chinese and Western medicines should be used cautiously.

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of human serum albumin in treatment of patients with ascites due to cirrhosis.MethodsCochrane Library, PubMed, EMBase, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Database were searched by using keywords “ascites”, “albumin”, “cirrhosis” and “randomized controlled trials”. The full text papers of randomized controlled trials (RCT) about human albumin treatment in patients with ascites due to cirrhosis were collected. The articles were selected and evaluated according to the inclusion criteria. The related information was statistically analyzed with RevMan 5.2 software, the relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. The patients in experimental group received IV infusion of human serum albumin. The patients in control group received isotonic 0.9% sodium chloride injection or artificial colloid (such as hetastarch, dextran, polygeline etc.) or no drugs. The efficacy and safety were compared between the 2 groups.ResultsA total of 688 related articles were searched and 13 RCT were enrolled into the study finally. There were 11 articles in English and 2 in Chinese. A total of 1 152 patients were entered in the study. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of hyponatremia in the experimental group (7.67%) was lower than that in the control group (14.66%), the difference was statistically significant(RR=0.60,95%CI:0.41~0.88, P=0.008). The differences of the ascites regression rates (91.67% vs. 88.44%), the incidences of renal injury (5.12% vs. 6.93%), the incidences of infection (5.04% vs. 4.93%), the incidences of hepatic encephalopathy (5.90% vs. 5.00%), the incidences of hemorrhage of digestive tract (2.57% vs. 2.73%), the incidences of hyperpotassemia (1.09% vs. 6.45%), the rehospitalization rates (52.15% vs.61.82%), the rehospitalization rates due to ascites (38.68% vs. 41.85%), the hospital mortality (3.80% vs. 4.54%), and the total mortality rates (21.40% vs. 24.83%) between the experimental group and the control group were not statistically significant ( all P >0.05). The difference of incidence of adverse reactions between the experimental group and the control group (3.13% vs. 3.05%) was not statistically significant (P=097).ConclusionThe present study can not demonstrate the obvious differences in curative effect and safety between the therapies of IV infusion of human serum albumin and artifical colloid or chloride in treatment of patients with ascites due to cirrhosis.

    Objective To explore the role of medication safety self-assessment according to        “2011 ISMP Medication Safety Self Assessment for Hospitals (Chinese version)”(Chinese version of ISMP) in improving the level of medication safety in hospitals. Methods The main results of medication safety self-assessment conducted by Beijing hospital using the Chinese version of ISMP in 2018 and 2020 were compared and analyzed. The assessment was organized by The Drug Risk Management Group of The Professional Committee of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in The Chinese Pharmacological Society and the content  included in the comparative analysis was 10 key elements, 20 core characteristics, and 161 evaluation items in the Chinese version of ISMP. Each item was scored referring to the Likert′s Five-Level Scoring and the corresponding score of choices A-E was 0, 0, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. The actual scores of the items and the percentage scores of 10 key elements in the 2 self-assessment activities were compared. Items with the greatest improvement (0 score in 2018 and 4 score in 2020) and those with no improvement (the score in 2020 was not higher than that in 2018) were found. Results The median actual score of 161 items in 2020 were higher than that in 2018 and the difference was statistically significant [4(3, 4) vs. 3(2, 4) scores, P<0.001]. The median percentage scores of items under key elements Ⅰ (patient information), Ⅱ (drug information), Ⅴ (drug standardization, storage, and distribution) were significantly higher than those in 2018 [75.5%(50.0%,100%) vs. 100%(100%,100%),P=0.002;25.0%(0,75.0%) vs.100%(75.0%,100%),P<0.001;50.0%(50.0%,100%) vs. 100%(100%,100%), P=0.003)]. In 2020, the percentage score of key element Ⅳ (drug labeling, packaging, and nomenclature) was 100%, the same as that in 2018; the percentage scores of the other 9 key elements were higher than those in 2018. Among them, the percentage score of key element Ⅶ (environmental factors, workflow, and staffing patterns) increased to 100% (94.2% in 2018) and those of the other 8 key elements were from 73.4% to 97.2%. There were 14 items with the greatest improvement and 1, 7, 3, 2, and 1 item of them was under key elements Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅴ, Ⅵ (medication device acquisition, use, and monitoring), and Ⅷ (staff competency and education), respectively. However, there were 24 items that had not been improved and 2, 4, 2, 4, 1, and 11 items of them were under key elements Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅴ, Ⅷ, Ⅸ (patient education), and Ⅹ (quality process and risk management), respectively. Conclusion Using the Chinese version of ISMP in self-assessment of medication safety in hospital will help improve the level of hospital medication safety.

    Objective To construct an intelligent control system for narcotic drugs in the wards of Peking University Third Hospital and evaluate its implementation effect. Methods Based on the introduction of intelligent medicine cabinet, relevant software was developed to establish an intelligent control system for narcotic drugs, which connected with the intelligent medicine cabinet and hospital information system, and then formed an intelligent control system for narcotic drugs. In the control system, a remote database for essential narcotic drugs (essential drug database) in the wards was established and 2 closed-loop pathways for locking the batch number of narcotic drugs were designed according to whether the choice was essential drugs in the ward or drugs in the inpatient pharmacy. Based on the functional system of intelligent medicine cabinet, an intelligent management process for narcotic drugs was established, and process remode- ling was carried out in prescribing, prescription checking, drugs dispensing and distributing, and account registration, etc. The work efficiencies in remodeled processes before and after the implementation of the control system were compared. Results The intelligent control system for narcotic drugs was successfully constructed. The essential drug database was deployed in all wards of the hospital and the remote management in the whole hospital was realized. Two closed-loop pathways that could lock the drug batch number effectively controlled the first-in-first-out of narcotic drugs and solved the problem in batch number tracing of narcotic drugs. Thus the fine control of closed-loop batch number tracing, real-time counting, and accurate searching of narcotic drugs in the whole process from entering the drug storage to being used in patients was realized. Because of the establishment of intelligent management process, the manual procedures of doctors in prescribing and drug dispensing and distribution were avoided and the prescription checking procedure of pharmacist were simplified, thus the accuracy in prescribing, prescription checking, and drug dispensing and distribution was improved. The time consumptions for doctors in issuing orders and prescribing, nurses in handling problematic prescriptions, pharmacists in prescription checking and drug dispensing and distribution, and pharmacy inventory and booklet registration etc. were significantly less after the implementation of the control system than before (all P<0.001), and the work efficiency was obviously improved. Conclusion By constructing the intelligent management system for narcotic drugs in the hospital wards, the full-process closed-loop traceable management for narcotic drugs with traceable sources and whereabouts and accoun- tability in the whole hospital has been preliminarily realized, and the work efficiency has been obviously improved.

     A 4-year-old boy received an IV infusion of cefoperazone sodium sulbactam sodium 0.8 g once per 12 hours for severe pneumonia. On day 3 of the treatment, the child developed brown urine, abdominal pain, pale skin, and cold limbs at about 15 minutes of the infusion. Then the infusion was stopped immediately. Laboratory tests showed decreased red blood cell count 1.7×1012/L(4.7×1012 before treatment)and hemoglobin 67 g/L(121 g/L before treatment), reticulocyte 0.12, total bilirubin 54.7 μmol/L, indirect bilirubin 42.4 μmol/L, direct Coombs test positive, urine protein (++), urine occult blood (++), urobilinogen (+++), 87 urine red blood cells per high power field. The acute hemolysis caused by cefoperazone sodium sulbactam sodium was considered. The drug was discontinued immediately and IV infusion of methylprednisolone and other symptomatic treatments were given. Then the boy′s condition gradually improved. The anti infection treatment was replaced by azithromycin for injection. On day 9 of cefoperazone sodium sulbactam sodium withdrawal, the boy′s blood routine and urine routine returned to normal and the direct Coombs test was negative.

    A 98-year-old male patient received cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium and ambroxol etc. due to pulmonary infection. Before treatments, the patient′s coagulation function was basically normal, and the platelet count was within the reference range. Due to poor anti-infection effect, cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium was changed to voriconazole combined with piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium 13 days later, which was adjusted to voriconazole, meropenem and linezolid glucose injection 7 days later. Three days after linezolid administration, the patient′s temperature was 39.3-℃, and scattered dark red petechiae appeared on his both hands, upper limbs, shoulders and back, with some appearing as patchy ecchymosis, without tenderness pain and fading when pressing. Laboratory tests showed that prothrombin time was 18.4-s, international normalized ratio was 1.50, activated partial thromboplastin time was 53.6-s, fibrinogen was 5.11-g/L, and plasma D-dimer was 4.27-mg/L. It was considered to be allergic purpura, which might be related to linezolid glucose injection. The drug was stopped and replaced by tigecycline, and the treatment such as anti-allergy, fluid replacement, and plasma infusion were given. Eleven days later, the patient′s skin petechiae and ecchymosis disappeared. Laboratory tests showed prothrombin time 16.2-s, international normalized ratio 1.28, activated partial thromboplastin time 35.6-s, fibrinogen 2.62-g/L, and plasma D-dimer 2.48-mg/L.

    Objective To explore the occurrence and clinical characteristics of hypersensitivity reactions induced by antimicrobial drugs in neonates. Methods The reports of hypersensitivity reactions induced by antimicrobial drugs in Neonatology Department of Chengdu Women′s and Children′s Central Hospital from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017 were collected. According to the basic information of children provided by the reports, the electronic medical records of the children were collected from the hospital information system and the data of application, occurrence, treatments, and outcomes of hypersensitivity reactions were recorded. The clinical manifestations, types, and severity of hypersensitivity reactions were evaluated by 3 pharmacists according to relevant standards. From the hospital information system, the total number of outpatients and inpatients in Department of Neonatology in the same period was counted, the usage of antimicrobial drugs was recorded, and the incidence of hypersensitivity reactions due to antimicrobial agents was caculated. Results A total of 73 reports of hypersensitivity reactions to antimicrobial drugs in Department of Neonatology were entered, involving 73 newborn infants; there were 21-146 infants using antimicrobial agents at the same time, so the incidence of antimicrobial hypersensitivity reactions was 0.35%. Among the 73 children, 34 were male and 39 were female; the ages on visit or admission to the hospital was (14±7) days; 69 (94.52%) were given injections of antimicrobial agents and 4 (5.48%) were given oral preparations. A total of 20 antimicrobial agents of 7 categories were used; the top 3 were cephalosporins (32 infants, 43.84%), penicillins (21 infants, 28.77%), and cephamycins (6 infants s, 8.22%). The top 3 drugs with higher incidence of hypersensitivity reactions were levofloxacin hydrochloride injection (2/4), erythromycin lactobionate for injection [1.29% (4/311)], and vancomycin hydrochloride for injection [1.07% (4/374)]. Among the 73 infants, 4 (5.48%) had immediate hypersensitivity reactions, of which 3 were severe (including 1 with anaphylactic shock, 1 with dyspnea, and 1 with severe anaphylactic reaction) cases; 69 (94.52%) had nonimmediate hypersensitivity reactions, mainly manifested as rash, digestive system symptoms, and fever, of which 6 were severe cases (including 3 infants with hepatobiliary system injury, 2 with neutropenia, and 1 with severe drug eruption). After discontinuation of suspected drugs and/or antiallergic and symptomatic treatments, 71 of 73 newborns recovered (97.26%) and 2 (2.74%) improved. Conclusions The incidence of hypersensitivity reactions induced by antimicrobial drugs in newborns in Chengdu Women′s and Children′s Central Hospital was 0.35%. The clinical types of hypersensitivity reactions induced by antimicrobial drugs in neonates were mainly nonimmediate types, most of them were general hypersensitivity reactions, but the immediate drug hypersensitivity reactions were mostly severe hypersensitivity reactions.

    Fentanyl is an opioid agonist, and is a potent narcotic analgesic. It is one of the most commonly used narcotic analgesics in clinical practice. Three fentanyl sustainedrelease preparations on the market now include fentanyl transdermal system, oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate, and fantanyl buccal tablets. These fentanyl preparations should only be used for patients who are opioidtolerant and chronic pain that is not well controlled with other analgesics. They are not to be used to treat sudden, occasional, or mild pain or pain after surgery. Death and lifethreatening adverse effects may occur after doctors inappropriately prescribe the preparations of fentanyl or patients incorrectly use them. The symptoms of fentanyl overdose include trouble breathing, slow heartbeat, severe sleepiness, trouble walking or talking, feeling faint, dizzy, and confused. The dosage strength of fentanyl in a certain product is not to the same dosage strength of fentanyl in other fentanylcontaining products. Therefore, they must be not directly substituted with each other. If necessary, the conversion of dosage should be performed.

    A 71-year-old male patient with severe stenosis of the right common carotid artery and internal carotid artery underwent aortography+cerebral arteriography+right internal carotid artery stenting under local anesthesia with contrast medium iodixanol injection. Head CT before operation showed no obvious abnormality. Ten hours after the operation, the patient developed neurological symptoms such as fever, drowsiness, choking in drinking water, incomplete motor aphasia, decrease of muscle strength and tension of left limb, convulsions, etc. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed increased signal intensity in the right cerebral sulcus and sulcus shallower. Contrast-induced encephalopathy caused by iodixanol was consi- dered. After 3 days of symptomatic treatments with rehydration, glucocorticoid, and mannitol, the patient′s symptoms were improved. Brain MRI showed that the hyperintensity of right cerebral cortex decreased and the sulcus gradually returned to normal.

    Objective To explore the effect of clinical pharmacists′ intervention in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of voriconazole on medication safety. Methods The study subjects were inpatients with fungal infection, admitted from January 2019 to June 2020 in the Department of Infectious Diseases, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, who were scheduled to be treated with voriconazole. Using random-cluster method, patients were divided into intervention group and control group based on their doctor medical groups. In the intervention group, clinical pharmacists participated in the whole process of voricona- zole TDM and provided pharmaceutical care, while in the control group, no clinical pharmacists participated in TDM. The percentage of voriconazole-treated patients achieved target trough concentration(1.5-5.5-mg/L), the incidence of adverse reactions, and clinical cure rate between the 2 groups were compared. The timely (within 24-hours) management rate of medication orders containing drugs with interaction by doctors and the detection frequency of blood drug concentration were compared between the 2 groups. Results A total of 303 patients were enrolled in the analysis, including 166 in the intervention group and 137 in the control group. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in demographic characteristics, liver function indexes, types of fungal diseases, main combined diseases, and the use of drugs with interactions with voriconazole before voriconazole treatment (all P>0.05). After receiving voriconazole, percentage of patients achieved target trough concentration in the intervention group was similar to that in the control group in the first detection [55% (91/166) vs. 50% (69/137), P=0.440] while significantly higher in the last detection[81% (134/166) vs. 47% (65/137), P<0.001]. The total frequency of trough concentration detection in the intervention group and the control group were 403 and 244 respectively. Percentage of detection values consisted with target trough concentration was significantly higher, while percentage of detection values exceeding target trough concentration (>5.5-mg/L) was significantly lower in the intervention group than those in the control group, respectively [63% (254/403) vs. 44% (107/244), P<0.001; 19% (63/403) vs. 22% (54/244), P=0.037)]. The total incidence of voriconazole-related adverse reactions [14% (23/166) vs. 23% (31/137)], the incidence of severe adverse reactions [2% (4/166) vs. 8% (11/137)], and incidence of liver injury [Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences standard: 8% (13/166) vs. 15% (21/137); International Drug-induced Liver Injury Expert Working Group standard: 2% (4/166) vs. 7% (10/137)] in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05), and the clinical cure rate was similar in the 2 groups [86% (142/166) vs. 81% (111/137), P=0.291]. In the intervention and control groups, some patients were using drugs which had interactions with voriconazole when starting voriconazole treatment, and the timely management rates of these medication orders were 71% (24/17) and 18% (3/17) respectively, with a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (P=0.001). The detection frequency of voriconazole trough concentration in the intervention group (2.4 times per patient) was higher than that in the control group (1.8 times per patient), and the proportion of patients with ≥3 detection was significantly higher [38% (63/166) vs. 23% (32/137), P=0.006]. Conclusion The involvement of clinical pharmacists in voriconazole TDM can enlarge the percentage of patients who achieve target trough concentration, improve the timely management rate of medication orders containing drugs with interactions with voriconazole, reduce the incidence of voriconazole-related adverse reactions, and improve medication safety.

    An 86-year-old male patient with cerebral infarction was treated with dual antiplatelet therapy consisting of aspirin enteric-coated tablets 100-mg orally once daily and clopidogrel 75-mg orally once daily after thrombolytic therapy. The concomitant drugs included atorvastatin calcium, fibrinogenase for injection, butylphthalide and sodium chloride injection, pantoprazole sodium for injection, and cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium for injection. After 26 days of dual antiplatelet therapy, the neutrophil count had an obvious decrease from 2.44×109/L before treatment to 0.49×109/L. Cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium for injection and aspirin enteric-coated tablets were stopped successively, leucogen, Qijiao Shengbai capsules (芪胶升白胶囊), and recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor injection were given, but the neutrophil count continued to decline, with the lowest value of 0.03×109/L. The correlation between neutropenia and clopidogrel was considered. Then clopidogrel was stopped and 3 days later, the patient′s neutrophils returned to normal.

    An one-month-old boy was treated with diazoxide capsules purchased by his parents from abroad for congenital hyperinsulinemia. In order to correct his hypoglycemia, the treatment plan was designed as follows: diazoxide capsules with an initial dose of 8.72-mg orally thrice daily [5-mg/(kg·d)] and intravenously high concentration glucose were given at the same time, then the supplement of intravenous glucose was gradually reduced and the dose of diazoxide was gradually increased under close monitoring of blood glucose levels, and finally the intravenous glucose was stopped with the stable blood glucose level (≥3.9-mmol/L). During the first 7 days of treatment, the dose of intravenous glucose and diazoxide were adjusted as planned, the child′s blood glucose was 3.1-5.3-mmol/L, and no hypoglycemia occurred. On the 8th day, the pharmacist found that the child was not awake and the blood glucose was 2.2-mmol/L during patient rounds. After questioning his parents, it was found that the dose of diazoxide was reduced to the initial dose by the parents themselves, leading to an episode of hypoglycemia, which was a medication error caused by the lack of self-supplied drugs management. The pharmacist immediately intervened on his parents′ treatment adherence. The dose of diazoxide was re-adjusted and the child′s blood glucose returned to normal. With the increase of the diazoxide dose, the child developed an adverse reaction of water and sodium retention. The addition of hydrochlorothiazide was recommended by the pharmacists after reviewing previous literatures and the adverse reaction of the child disappeared. Through this case, the clinical management standard of self-supplied drugs for special diseases and the database of safe drug use were established and a multi-disciplinary team for joint services consisting physicians and pharmacists was formed in the hospital under the efforts of clinical pharmacists. The safety management of medication in treatment of hospitalized and discharged children was strengthened and good results have been achieved.

    Pharmaceutical excipients refer to any substances other than the active principal in the pharmaceutical preparation. Their functions are to protect, support or enhance the stability and bioavailability of the active ingredient besides formulating a dosage form. It is reckoned that 40 kinds and more of pharmaceutical excipients including over one thousand different materials are now used in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products, such as solvents, absorbents, preservations,colouring agents, flavouring agents, thickening agents, antioxidants, and so on. In addition,new classes of excipients have been available in recent years. Pharmaceutical excipients are considered to be inert in contrast to active drug. However, adverse reactions to a wide range of excipients are now documented, such as hemolysis to propylene glycol, gasping syndrome to benzyl alcohol, etc. The safety of pharmaceutical excipients involves their toxicity, quality, and improper use. The clinicians should be aware of the adverse reactions associated with pharmaceutical excipients, and drug regulatory authority should strengthen the management of the safety of pharmaceutical excipients in order to safeguard the patient safety.

    A 66-year-old male patient with anxiety and depression received lorazepam 1-mg twice daily and buspirone 10-mg twice daily. Two months later, the patient developed chills, fever, drowsiness, and stiffness of limbs, etc. Laboratory tests showed white blood cell count 13.5×109/L, neutrophils 0.89,C-reactive protein 68.7-mg/L, serum creatinine 211-mmol/L, direct bilirubin 10.3-mmol/L, alanine amino- transferase 96-U/L, aspartate aminotransferase 121-U/L, creatine kinase (CK) 4-557-U/L, CK-MB 83-U/L, lactate dehydrogenase 462-U/L, α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase 339-U/L, and troponin 116-ng/L. Malignant syndrome caused by buspirone was considered. The drug was stopped, lorazepam was continued, and oxygen inhalation, ECG monitoring, physical cooling, anti-infection, and other treatments were given. The patient still had fever and developed deep coma, with brown urine and myoglobin >3 000-mg/L. Secondary rhabdomyolysis was considered. Anti-infection treatment was continued and treatments such as correcting electrolyte balance, alkalizing urine, and diuresis were given. On the 10th day of drug withdrawal, the patient had normal limb activity and urine color, his creatine kinase was 246-U/L, and myoglobin was 856-mg/L. One month later, the laboratory tests showed no obvious abnormalities and no malignant syndrome releted symptoms recurred. The rhabdomyolysis secondary to malignant syndrome in the patient was considered to be possibly related to buspiron and the combination with lorazepam might promote its occurrence.

    Objective To explore the occurrence of hepatic injury related to amphotericin B and analyze its influencing factors. Methods The medical records of inpatients, who received amphoteric B during hospitalization and had complete records of liver function before and after medication, were searched from the Hospital Information System of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from January 2013 to December 2017 and analyzed retrospectively. Liver injury was classified and diagnosed according to the Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of drug-induced liver injury and its incidence was calculated. According to the age (≤45 or >45 years old), with or without history of liver injury/liver disease within 3 months before admission, the dosage form of amphotericin B (non-liposome or liposome), the maximum daily dose (<30 or ≥30 mg), the maximum daily dose/body weight (<0.5 or ≥0.5 mg/kg), with or without step-up dosage, the course of treatment (≤21 or >21 d), the cumulative dose (<600 or ≥600 mg), cumulative dose/body mass (<10 or ≥10 mg/kg), with or without combination use of liver-protective drugs, and with or without combination use of other drugs with hepatotoxicity, the patients were divided into 2 groups, respectively. The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBil), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and gamma-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT) were compared respectively in patients in each 2 groups with above-mentioned 11 different clinical features. The influencing factors of hepatic injury related to amphotericin B were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression analysis and multiple linear regression analysis, whose effect values were expressed as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) and standardized regression coefficient with 95%CI and value of R2. Results A total of 42 patients were enrolled, including 31 males and 11 females with ages from 13 to 92 years old and body mass (65.0±12.3)kg. Of the 42 patients, 26 patients were ≥45 years old; 15 patients had history of hepatic injury/liver disease; 30 patients used amphotericin B, 10 used amphotericin B liposome, and 2 used both of them; 25 patients received the maximum daily dose of amphotericin B <30 mg and the maximum daily dose/body mass <0.5 mg/kg, 17 patients had the maximum daily dose ≥30 mg and the maximum daily dose/body mass ≥0.5 mg/kg; 28 patients used amphptericin B with step-up dosage, 14 patients′ initial doses were the maximum daily dose; 24 patients′ cumulative dose of amphotericin B and the cumulative dose/body mass were <600 mg and <10 mg/kg, respectively, while 18 patients′ cumulative dose of amphotericin B and the cumulative dose/body mass were ≥600 mg and 10 mg/kg, respectively; 29 patients received combination use of hepato-protective drugs; 33 patients received combination use of other hepatotoxic drugs. The levels of TBil and ALT in 42 patients after amphotericin B treatment were obviously higher than those before medication (P=0.019, P=0.017). Seven patients were diagnosed as drug-induced liver injury, the incidence of drug-induced liver injury was 16.7%. The result of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that history of hepatic injury/liver disease within 3 months before admission was the independent risk factor for elevated γ-GT level after medication (OR=2.029, 95%CI:1.037-3.970, P=0.039). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the maximum daily dose ≥30 mg and the cumulative dose ≥600 mg were the independent risk factors for elevated TBil level after medication (standardized regression coefficient: 0.59, 95%CI: 0.28-0.90, P=0.001; standardized regression coefficient:1.61, 95%CI: 0.14-3.07, P=0.033; R2=0.524); hepatic injury/liver disease within 3 months before admission was the independent risk factor for elevated ALP and γ-GT levels after medication (standardized regression coefficient: 0.85, 95%CI: 0.25-1.45, P=0.006, R2=0.205; standardized regression coefficient: 0.89, 95%CI: 0.29-1.50, P=0.005, R2=0.206). Conclusions The incidence of liver injury related to amphotericin B in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University is 16.7%. The maximum daily dose of amphotericin B ≥30 mg and cumulative dose ≥600 mg are the independent risk factors for the elevated level of TBil, history of hepatic injury/liver disease within 3 months before admission is the independent risk factors for elevated levels of ALP and γ-GT.

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of thrombocytopenia caused by levetiracetam (LEV). Methods The diagnosis and treatment of a patient with thrombocytopenia caused by LEV in Peking University Third Hospital were reported. The main clinical data (gender, age, indications of LEV medication, usage and dosage of LEV, comorbidities, combined medication, platelet count before and after medication, time from LEV medication to onset of thrombocytopenia, clinical management and outcome, etc.) of the case and relevant cases collected from PubMed, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang database (as of February 1, 2020) were summarized and analyzed. Results A total of 14 patients were enrolled in the study, including 4 males and 10 females, aged from 4 months to 79 years with a median age of 57 years. There were 5 cases of primary epilepsy and 9 cases of secondary epilepsy, including 4 cases of stroke secondary epilepsy, 4 cases of brain tumor secondary epilepsy, and 1 case of viral encephalitis. Among them, 8 patients had low immune function; 4 patients were treated with LEV alone and 10 were treated with LEV combined with other antiepileptic drugs. The time from the application of LEV to onset of thrombocytopenia was 2- 150 days and the median time was 8.5 (3.2, 18.5) days after medication. The severity of thrombocytopenia was defined as grade 1, 2, 3, and 4 in 1, 4, 1, and 8 patients, respectively. After the onset of thrombocytopenia, LEV was discontinued in all the 14 patients. Of them, 9 cases were improved without special intervention, 4 cases were improved after symptomatic treatments (with human immunoglobulin, hormone, and platelet transfusion in 1 case, human immunoglobulin, hormone, and anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody in 1 case, and intravenous platelet transfusion in 2 cases), and a 4-month-old infant died of septic shock and multiple organ failure. Conclusion LEV-related thrombocytopenia may occur 2-150 days after the first medication and usually in patients with immunodeficiency, which could be improved by drug withdrawal alone or combination with symptomatic treatments as appropriate.

Results A total of 1-152 patients were entered in the study, including 552 patients in the insulin degludec group and 600 patients in the insulin glargine U100 group. The difference in the basic conditions in patients in the 2 groups was not statistically significant (all P>0.05). After treatment, the fasting blood glucose levels in patients in the 2 groups were lower than those before treatment, with statistically significant differences [10.2 (8.8, 12.5) mmol/L vs. 7.5 (6.6, 8.7) mmol/L, Z=-19.443, P<0.001; 10.0 (8.6, 11.7) mmol/L vs. 7.8 (6.6, 9.0) mmol/L, Z=-15.449, P<0.001], but the difference in fasting blood glucose levels between the 2 groups after treatment was not statistically significant (Z=-1.427, P>0.05). The incidence of hypoglycemia in the insulin degludec group was lower than that in the insulin glargine U100 group [1.09% (6/552) vs. 2.83% (17/600), Z=4.481, P=0.032]. The intraday blood glucose standard deviation, maximum blood glucose fluctuation range, postprandial blood glucose fluctuation range, and average blood glucose fluctuation range in patients with complete blood glucose monitoring data in the insulin degludec group were significantly lower than those in the insulin glargine U100 group [(1.7±0.6) mmol/L vs. (2.4±1.0) mmol/L, (4.5±1.6) mmol/L vs. (6.7±2.9) mmol/L, (1.8±1.0) mmol/L vs. (3.3±1.2) mmol/L, (2.9±1.3) mmol/L vs. (4.6±2.1) mmol/L; all P<0.001]. Conclusion The efficacy of insulin degludec in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus is equivalent to that of insulin glargine U100, but the risk of hypoglycemia and blood glucose fluctuation is lower.

    Selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors are a new type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are used in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Selective COX-2 inhibitors are divided into relatively selective COX-2 inhibitors ( meloxicam, nimesulide and diclofenac acid, and others) and highly selective COX-2 inhibitors( celecoxib, rofecoxib, valdecoxib, etoricoxib,and other). The inhibitory effect of the former against COX-2 is significantly stronger than that against COX-1, but also partially inhibits COX-1 at the same time, while the latter only has strong inhibitory effect on COX-2 inhibitor. The main adverse reactions of selective COX-2 inhibitors are gastrointestinal ulcers, perforation or bleeding, damage to renal function, coagulation disorders and thrombosis. The factors associated with the mechanisms are as follows: the COX-2 inhibitors inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2 at the same time and weaken the protective effects on the gastrointestinal mucosa; the COX-2 inhibitors decrease glomerular filtration rate and increase retention of sodium and potassium; the COX-2 inhibitors inhibit CYP2C9’s activity and decrease warfarin’s metabolic rate; the COX-2 inhibitors affect the balance between thromboxane A2 (TxA2) and prostaglandin I2 (PGI2). Proton pump inhibitors should be taken with the selective COX-2 inhibitors in order to decrease the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions. For the patients with hypertension or sodium retention tendencies, plasma concentration and renal function should be monitored regularly, dose of antihypertensive drugs should be adjusted and coadministration of multiple NSAIDs at the same time should be avoided. Selective COX-2 inhibitors in combination with low-dose aspirin may prevent and cure cardiovascular adverse reactions. If adverse reactions induced by selective COX-2 inhibitors are confirmed, the drug should be discontinued and the symptomatic treatment should be given.

    Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is the main reason for the failure of new drug research and development before marketing, warning increase post?marketing and withdrawal from the market, which is an important part of drug safety monitoring. It is very important for scientific supervision and clinical practice to pay attention to the liver safety of drugs and carry out corresponding transformation research. The premise of scientific supervision for DILI is to have a comprehensive understanding for its mechanism, risk factors, clinical diagnosis and evaluation, prediction for prognosis, effective interventions and overall assessment for risk/benefit. The mechanism of DILI is related to many links such as drug metabolism, hepatocyte death mechanism, signal transduction pathway, mitochondrial function damage, immune damage, genetic and environmental factors, and etc. For some drugs, combined detection of protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 and human leukocyte antigen is expected to be an important method to screen the high?risk population of DILI. Due to the lack of specific diagnostic markers, the diagnosis of DILI is facing challenges. The complex clinical phenotype of DILI also makes diagnosis more difficult. European and American countries have set up a special cooperative network of DILI, in which DILI patients were prospectively entered for follow?up and biological sample database were established, effectively promoting the research progress in DILI field. The Hepatox network platform (www.hepatox.org) established specially for DILI in China has been launched and more than 30?000 real world databases on DILI patients have been established, which lays a good foundation for subsequent transformation research.

    Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hybutimibe in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Methods Relevant databases and clinical trial registration websites at home and abroad were searched (up to March 27, 2023), and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of hybutimibe in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia have been collected. Patients in the trial group were given hybutimibe with or without other hypolipidemic agents, and those in the control group were given placebo or other hypolipidemic agents as same as that in the trial group. The primary outcome in effectiveness was the change rate of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). The primary outcomes in safety were incidences of overall adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs), the trial termination due to AEs, and trial drug-related AEs. The secondary outcome in safety was incidence of the major AE reported in ≥ 2 trials. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4-software. The effect sizes of counting data were expressed by the relative risk (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). The effect sizes of measurement data were expressed by mean difference (MD) and its 95%CI. Results A total of 4 RCTs and 1-488 patients were entered in the analysis, including 952 patients in the trial group and 536 in the control group. The results of meta-analysis showed that at 8-12 weeks of treatment, the decrease rate of LDL-C in the trial group (hybutimibe 20 or 10-mg daily with or without atorvastatin 10-mg daily) was significantly greater than that in the control group (hybutimibe 20-mg daily: MD=-13.36%, 95%CI: -15.28% - -11.44%, P<0.001; hybutimibe 10-mg daily: MD=-10.80%, 95%CI: -14.90%- -6.71%, P<0.001); at 52 weeks of treatment, the average decrease rate (from baseline) of LDL-C in the trial group (hybutimibe 20 or 10-mg combined with atorvastatin 10-mg daily) was significantly greater than that in the control group with atorvastatin 10-mg daily monotherapy (-41.92% and -39.34% vs. -31.56%, all P<0.001); the incidences of overall AEs [47.94% (338/705) vs. 49.75% (202/406),RR=0.99, 95%CI: 0.87-1.12], SAEs[2.64% (16/606) vs. 2.79% (10/358), RR=1.19, 95%CI: 0.53-2.66], trial termination due to AEs[4.11% (29/705) vs. 4.68% (19/406), RR=0.67, 95%CI: 0.17-2.65], and trial drug-related AEs [12.38% (75/606) vs. 11.45% (41/358), RR=0.87, 95%CI: 0.37-2.06] were similar between the 2 groups at 8-12 weeks of treatment (all P>0.05). Conclusion Hybutimibe could effectively reduce LDL-C level in patients with hypercholesterolemia, with good medication safety.

    Objective To investigate the effect of telephone follow-up-based pharmaceutical care on medication compliance and safety in discharged patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, who were discharged from Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2019 to December 2019 and with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) <9% during hospitalization were enrolled. Patients were divided into routine follow-up group and telephone follow-up group according to the post-discharge follow-up method. Patients in the routine follow-up group received routine pharmaceutical care and were followed up for 6 months after discharge, including outpatient follow-up once every 3 months and HbA1c test at the 6th month. On this basis, patients in the telephone follow-up group received pharmaceutical care by clinical pharmacists using telephone follow-up method, which was performed once every 2 weeks for the first 3 months after discharge and once a month for the next 3 months. The clinical pharmacists established follow-up registration files for patients in the 2 groups to record the condition of the patients on discharge and results of each follow-up. Scores of the "Diabetes Self-Management Scale (Chinese version)" score (DSMQ score, with a total score of 48 points, the higher the score, the better the self-management ability of the patient), "Chinese Version Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8" score (Morisky score, with a total score of 8 points, regarding 6 to 8 points as good compliance), and blood glucose control results (evaluation index is HbA1c level, HbA1c <7.0% was used as the standard to calculate the compliance rate) 6 months after discharge and the incidences of adverse drug events during the follow-up period in patients between the 2 groups were compared. Results A total of 95 patients were enrolled in the analysis, including 48 in the telephone follow-up group and 47 in the routine follow-up group. Differences in gender and age distribution, body mass index, DSMQ score, and HbA1c level and compliance rate on discharge in patients in the 2 groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Six months after discharge, both the DSMQ score and Morishy score in the telephone follow-up group were higher than those in the routine follow-up group [(38.1±4.4) vs.(34.3±4.1) points, P<0.001; (6.5±1.2) vs.(5.7±1.0) points, P<0.001]; the proportion of patients with good medication compliance in the telephone follow-up group were higher than those in the routine follow-up group [81.3%(39/48) vs. 40.4%(19/47), P=0.031]; the HbA1c level was lower and the HbA1c compliance rate was higher in the telephone follow-up group than those in the routine follow-up group[(6.2±1.2)% vs. (6.7±1.4)%, P=0.042; 72.9% vs. 51.1%, P=0.028]; the incidence of adverse drug events in the telephone follow-up group was lower than that in the routine follow-up group [6.2% (3/48) vs. 25.5% (12/47), P=0.010]. Adverse drug events occurred in patients mainly included hypoglycemia, fatty induration or infection at the insulin injection site, and gastrointestinal reactions. Conclusion Telephone follow-up-based pharmaceutical care can effectively improve the self-management ability of patients with type 2 diabetes after discharge, help patients maintain good medication compliance, thereby improving the blood glucose control effects and to a certain extent reducing the occurrence of adverse drug events.

    ObjectiveTo detect adverse drug reaction (ADR) signals using data mining algorithm and explore its application value.MethodsReports on adverse reactions induced by anti-infective drugs in National centor for ADR monitoring from January 2009 to December 2013 were collected and potential ADR risk signals were detected using proportional reporting ratio method (PRR), reporting odds ratio method (ROR), Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency method (MHRA), Bayesian confidence propagation neural network method (BCPNN), and multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker method (MGPS). The results of detection using the above-mentioned 5 signal detection methods were compared.ResultsA total of 35 807 ADR reports induced by anti-infective drugs were collected, 35 759 effective reports were entered, and 834 suspected drugs were involved. In the 35 759 reports, 464 kinds of ADR were defined according to lowest level term and 21 kinds of ADR were defined according to system/organ classification. After the data cleaning, splitting, and encoding process, 6 620 reports containing suspected drug-adverse reaction combination were acquired. There were 3 966 reports (59.91%) in which suspected drug-adverse reaction combination appeared once, 937 reports (14.15%)  in which suspected drug-adverse reaction combination appeared twice, and 1 717  reports (25.94%) in which suspicious drug-adverse reaction combination appeared more than thrice. The number of ADR signals detected using PRR, ROR, MGPS, BCPNN, and MHRA was 651, 614, 306, 75, and 57, respectively; the categories of drugs were 194, 168, 124, 34 and 40, respectively; ADR types were 139, 139, 121, 35, and 40,  respectively. In the top ten risk signals, azithromycin-nausea were detected by the 5 signal detection methods, levofloxacin-pruritus were detected by PRR, ROR, MHRA, and BCPNN. The top ten signals detected by PRR were totally same as those by ROR and signals detected by other methods were various.ConclusionsPotential risk signals in ADR reports could be detected systematically and automatically using PRR, ROR, MGPS, BCPNN, and MHRA. However, each method has its own advantage and disadvantage and should be applied according to the actual situation and demand.

    A 73-year-old male patient with diabetic mellitus complicated with peripheral vascular lesions and neuropathy received sarpogrelate on the basis of previous treatments with ticagrelor, nifedipine controlled-release tablets, candesartan cilexetil, metoprolol tartrate sustained-release tablets, and isosorbide mononitrate dispersible tablets for aggravated numbness and coldness of hands and feet with lower limb pain. Oral mucosal bleeding occurred after 12 days of treatments and platelet count (PLT) was 7×109/L after 16 days of treatments. Before sarpogrelate was added, PLT was 229×109/L. The patient had taken ticagrelor or sarpogrelate alone in the past, no bleeding occurred, and the patient had no history of abnormal blood cells and platelets. Considering that the thrombocytopenia was caused by the combination use of sarpogrelate and ticagrelor, the 2 drugs were stopped, 300-ml of platelet plasma was given that day, and aspirin enteric-coated tablets 100-mg orally once daily was given on the second day. Nineteen days later, the PLT recovered to 187×109/L。

    A 78-year-old male patient with peritoneal dialysis received Juhong Tanke (橘红痰咳液) solution 10-ml thrice daily and 4 Jinqiaomai tablets (金荞麦片) thrice daily orally because of cough at night for 3 weeks(conventional abdominal dialysis maintenance treatment was given according to the original schedule). On day 5 of treatments, the peritoneal exudate was turbid. Laboratory tests showed white blood cell count (WBC) 1.1×109/L, neutrophils 0.65, hemoglobin (Hb) 105-g/L, platelet count (PLT) 90×109/L, high sensitivity C-reactive protein 26.9-mg/L, and procalcitonin 10.89-mg/L; the examination for exudate showed WBC 13-131×106/L and neutrophils 0.96. Acute diffuse peritonitis was diagnosed. Meropenem, moxifloxacin, norvancomycin, vancomycin, and linezolid were given successively along with the peritoneal dialysis, the infection was still not well controlled, and then the anti-infective drugs were changed to an IV infusion of tigecycline 50-mg twice daily. On day 9 of tigecycline treatment, the patient had sudden cold sweats and palpitations with fatigue, dizziness, and hunger. The peripheral blood glucose level was 2.0-mmol/L. An intravenous injection of 50% glucose was given and the blood glucose increased to 5.8-mmol/L. The patient had no history of diabetes mellitus, it was considered that hypoglycemia was related to tigecycline. Then tigecycline was discontinued and replaced by oral rifampicin 0.45 g thrice daily and an IV infusion of vancomycin 500-mg dissolved in 0.9% sodium chloride injection 100-ml once every 12-hours. Three days after tigecycline withdrawal, the patient′s blood glucose level was 3.0-mmol/L at dawn. Intravenous and oral glucose supplementation treatments were continued, and 19 days later, the patient′s fasting blood glucose level was 4.8-6.3-mmol/L.

    Objective To explore the effect of amiodarone on warfarin′s time in therapeutic range (TTR), daily dose of warfarin, and the occurrence of over anticoagulation in patients treated with warfarin after heart valve surgery. Methods Demographic information and clinical information of patients taking warfarin for heart valve surgery in the anticoagulation clinic in Fuwai Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from November 2019 to January 2021 were collected. The patients were divided into amiodarone group and control group according to whether they were treated with amiodarone. The percentage of TTR, stable daily dose of warfarin, and the proportion of times of INR>3 in patients in the 2 groups within 90 days of outpatient follow-up were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 407 patients were included in the study. There were 35 patients in the amiodarone group, including 15 males and 20 females, with a median age of 56 (49, 64) years, in which 20 (57.1%) had concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF). There were 372 patients in the control group, including 227 males and 145 females, with a median age of 55 (48, 63) years, in which 105 (28.2%) with AF. Within 90 days of discharge, the difference of percentage of TTR between the amiodarone and control groups was not significant [57.6% (44.6%, 70.6%) vs. 67.3% (52.3%, 82.3%), P=0.061], but the stable daily dose of warfarin in patients in the amiodarone group was significantly lower than that in patients in the control group [2.25 (1.72, 2.78) mg vs. 3.38 (2.59, 4.18) mg, P<0.001]. The median proportion (range) of times of INR>3 in the 1-14 days, 15-90 days after discharge and the whole follow-up period in patients in the amiodarone group were higher than those in the control group[0 (0-0.3) vs. 0(0-0.3), P=0.016; 0.08(0-0.3) vs. 0(0-1.0), P=0.002; 0.06(0-0.85) vs. 0(0-0.22), P=0.001]. Conclusions Amiodarone can significantly increase the risk of anticoagulation in patients treated with warfarin after heart valve surgery. The daily dose of warfarin needs to be reduced in order to achieve a higher TTR and maintain the stability of anticoagulation therapy.

    ObjectiveTo understand the current status of medication errors (ME) report in Beijing area and improve the ME monitor and report system.MethodsME cases which were reported by pharmacy departments of 22 hospitals in Beijing in 2012 were collected and analyzed. Analysis projects included category, classification, and triggering factor of ME and the number and proportion of persons who triggered or detected ME. Category A is potential error. Category B, C, and D are mild ME which did not harm patients. Category E, F, G, H, and I are severe ME which cause harm to patients even death.ResultsOne thousand one hundred and sixty-five cases of ME were totally reported by 22 hospitals in Beijing. Proportion of ME of category A, B, C, D, E, and F were respectively 5.9% (69 cases), 71.9% (837 cases), 19.3% (225 cases), 2.2% (26 cases), 0.5% (6 cases), and 02% (2 cases). ME of category G, H, and I have not been reported. In 1165 reports of ME, 1220 errors of classification were noted. Therein, the error of kinds of medications was the highest proportion which reached 27.2% (332 errors). The errors of administration route, dosage, and time respectively accounted for 12.0% (147 errors), 14.3% (175 errors), and 7.1% (86 errors). The content of unreasonable drug use was contained in the errors of kinds of medications, administration route and time. In 1165 reports of ME, 1183 triggering factors were noted. The top three factors were sound alike, prescribing errors, and look alike, whose proportions were 19.1% (226 errors), 14.0% (166 errors), and 8.3% (98 errors), respectively. In terms of the persons that triggered ME, the proportions of doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and patients or families were respectively 66.0%, 30.6%, 1.1%, and 2.3%. In terms of the persons who detected ME, doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and patients or family members respectively accounted for 14%, 88.8%, 4.6%, and 5.2%.ConclusionsThe report system of ME in Beijing had tended to be mature gradually. The operation model could be used for reference for national systems of ME monitor and report.

    A 4-month and 19-day-old girl with a body weight of 4.4-kg was treated with 5% digoxin oral solution 0.9-ml (0.045-mg) once per 12-hours after repair of ventricular septal and atrial septal defects. Spironolactone, hydrochlorothiazide, and captopril were given at the same time. The blood concentration of digoxin was detected on the 6th day of medication, and the pharmacist found that it was more than 5.0-μg/L, and immediately went to the ward to see the child. The bedside electrocardiograph showed that the baby girl had reduced heart rate (80 beats/min), arrhythmia, third-degree atrioventricular block, complete right bundle- branch block, and ST-T changes. Digoxin poisoning was diagnosed and digoxin was immediately discon- tinued. Three days later, the blood concentration of digoxin decreased to 1.66-μg/L, and her heart rate and electrocardiograph returned to normal. By reviewing the medication information of the baby, a digoxin poisoning event due to overdose of digoxin and drug interactions was diagnosed. Due to the event, the use of digoxin in hospitalized children in the whole hospital from January 2017 to May 2019 was investigated. Among 323 children, 14 children (4.3%) overdosed with digoxin; 235 children (72.8%) were treated with digoxin for more than 5 days, but the detection rate of blood concentration was only 12.8% (30/235); 67.5% children (240/323) were prescribed drugs that might interact with digoxin or increase the risk in digoxin treatment. Through the analysis of risk factors, improvement measures such as optimizing medical order audit system, increasing the monitoring rate of digoxin blood concentration, and strengthening training were put forward, and an expert consensus in the hospital was reached. After implementation of the improvement measures, a total of 47 children were prescribed digoxin in the whole hospital from January to June, 2020, none of them were given overdose of digoxin, and the monitoring rate of digoxin blood concentration was increased to 40.4% (19/47).

    Objective To compare the clinical characteristics between the children and adults patients with drug-induced liver injury (DILI).Methods"Drug-induced liver injury" was selected as the key word and all the medical records in Beijing You′an Hospital Medical Records Management Center from February 2002 to June 2011 were collected. The patients who were ≤14 years were enrolled into the child group. The patients who were ≥15 years were enrolled into the adult group. The medical records of patients in the two groups were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The main analysis parameters included use of medication, clinical manifestation, and clinical pathological classification of DILI.ResultsThe main drugs which can cause DILI in child group were antibacterial drugs (13 cases, 42%), traditional Chinese medicines (9 cases, 29%), and antipyretic analgesics (6 cases, 19%). The main drugs which can cause DILI in the adult group were traditional Chinese medicines (79 cases, 69%), antipyretic analgesics (12 cases, 11%), and antibacterial drugs (8 cases, 7%) . Twenty-six patients (84%) in the child group and 114 patients (100%) in the adult group developed weak, loss of appetite, aversion to fats, nausea, vomiting and yellow urine 3 to 90 days[mean(18±15)days]and 5 to 90 days[mean(30±20)days] after drug admission, respectively. Part of patients developed fever, erythema and increased eosinophils. There were no significant differences in the levels of serum alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and glutamyltranspetidase between the two groups. But the level of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the child group was higher than that in the adult group (P<0.05). The number of mixed DILI, hepatocellular DILI and cholestasis DILI were 15 (48.4%), 8 (25%) and 8 (25%) cases in 31 patients in the child group, respectively. The number of hepatocellular DILI, mixed DILI, and cholestasis DILI were 69 (60.5%), 26 (22.8%) and 19 (16.7%) cases in 114 patients in the adult group, respectively. The proportion of mixed DILI in child group was significantly higher than that in the adult group (P<0.01). The proportion of hepatocellular DILI in the child group was significantly lower than that in the adult group (P<0.01). The drugs were withdrawn immediately after the symptoms of DILI appeared in the patient in the two groups. All the patientsion the adult group and 27 children in the child group were improved and discharged. There were 2 cases with depravation of primary diseases, 1 case discharged himself and 1 case died due to hepatic failure in the child groupConclusionsThe main drugs causing DILI are different in children and adult; in children, antibacterial drugs , while in adults traditional Chinese medicine mainly. The mainly liver injury type in children is mixed DILI. The mainly liver injury type in adults is hepatocellular DILI. It should be vigilant towards DILI when the child or adult treated with antibiotics or traditional Chinese medicine.

    A 51-year-old patient with yolk sac tumor received BEP regimen [intramuscular injection of bleomycin 30-mg, on day 2, 9, and 16), IV infusions of etoposide 100-mg/(m2· d) and cisplatin 20-mg/m2 on day 1 to 5] after comprehensive staging surgery for ovarian cancer, 21 days was a cycle. No interstitial changes in her lungs were found on chest CT before operation and before each chemotherapy cycle. On the 12th day of the 4th treatment cycle, the patient developed cough, expectoration. Laboratory tests showed white blood cell count 0.63×109/L, neutrophil count 0.16×109/L, hemoglobin 82-g/L, platelet count 42×109/L. Chest CT showed a little grid shadow in both lungs. The patient was diagnosed with myelosuppression (grade Ⅳ) and pulmonary infection. Bleomycin treatment in the 3rd week of the 4th cycle was stopped. Granulocyte colony stimulating factor, thrombopoietin, meropenem, bromhexine, blood transfusion, fluid infusion, and other symptomatic and supportive treatment were given. Bone marrow suppression was relieved, but cough and expectoration were aggravated. Chest CT showed a little grid shadow in both lungs. Glucocorticoid and amphotericin B were added, and non-invasive ventilator assisted ventilation and other symptomatic support treatments were given, but the patient′s condition worsened, and respiratory failure and death occurred 45 days after the 4th cycle of chemotherapy.

    A 74-year-old male patient with gastric body adenocarcinoma received first-line, second-line, and third-line chemotherapy for 6, 8, and 4 cycles, respectively. Because of the poor effect of chemotherapy, the patient received targeted therapy with apatinib (750-mg orally, once daily). Eighteen days later, the patient developed fatigue and dizziness, and stopped the drug by himself. Laboratory test showed that platelet count (PLT) was 41×109/L. He was diagnosed as having grade 3 thrombocytopenia. Platelet-raising therapy was given immediately. After his PLT returned to 153×109/L, the dose of apatinib was reduced to 500-mg once daily. Twenty-one days later, the symptom of dizziness recurred and facial edema appeared. Laboratory test showed that PLT was 45×109/L. It was considered that thrombocytopenia was related to apatinib and dose-dependent. Platelet-raising therapy was given again. Thirteen days later, his PLT returned to 214×109/L and an intermittent medication method with the reduced dose was applied, that is, taking apatinib 250-mg/d for 3 days and stopping for 2 days. After that, thrombocytopenia did not recur and the patient kept in stable condition.

    A 35-year-old male patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus was treated with metformin and dapagliflozin orally for a long time. Due to poor glycemic control and overweight, the treatment was adjusted to subcutaneous injection of semaglutide 0.25 mg once a week plus 1 metformin and empagliflozin tablet orally twice daily. The patient experienced abdominal bloating and significant satiety after the first dose, which did not attract attention, and metformin and empagliflozin tablets were not discontinued. Three days later, he developed persistent epigastric pain, and laboratory tests indicated blood ketone body (β-hydroxybutyrate) 4.70 mmol/L. Despite treatments with lansoprazole, anisodamine, metoclopramide, and dezocine, the symptoms was not alleviated. Gastrointestinal decompression was perfor- med, which led to a slight improvement in abdominal pain. An immediate abdominal CT scan revealed gastric retention. The patient′s gastric retention was considered to be associated with the administration of semaglutide. The following day′s laboratory tests indicated carbon dioxide combining power 2.36 mmol/L, suggesting the occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis, which was hypothesized to be related to empagliflozin. The original hypoglycemic regimen was discontinued, insulin pump therapy was given with blood glucose level monitoring, and fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, fluid resuscitation, and acid suppression was applied. The patient′s symptoms were significantly improved, and the ketone body levels gradually decreased. After 3 days of treatments, the patient began to eat, and after 6 days, he returned to a normal diet without further abdominal pain or bloating. The ketone body levels and carbon dioxide combining power returned to normal, and the hypoglycemic regimen was adjusted to lispro insulin plus acarbose.

    A 74-year-old male patient was hospitalized for cerebral infarction, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. During the hospitalization, a thyroid ultrasound examination revealed suspicious nodules. In order to make a definite diagnosis, thyroid ultrasonography was performed, during which 2.4-ml of sulphur hexafluoride microbubbles for injection and 5-ml of 0.9% sodium chloride injection were given intravenously. Ten minutes later, the patient developed fever, confusion, profuse sweating, red skin rash, and blood pressure 80/60-mmHg, and anaphylactic shock caused by sulphur hexafluoride microbubbles for injection was considered. The patient was given intravenous injection of dexamethasone 10-mg, intravenous infusion of adrenaline 1-mg dissolved in 0.9% sodium chloride injection 250-ml, intramuscular injection of promethazine 25-mg, and mask oxygen. About 3-minutes later, the patient′s consciousness gradually turned clear, and the blood pressure rose (103/72-mmHg); 1.5-hours later, the patient′s consciousness was completely recovered, the blood pressure was 143/86-mmHg, the heart rate was 98 beats/min, and the blood oxygen saturation was 0.98. Twenty-four hours later, the rash was basically disappeared, and the patient′s condition was stable.

    Three patients (patient 1, a 48-years-old male; patient 2, a 65-years-old female; patient 3, a 58-years-old female) received clozapine for schizophrenia at daily doses of 200-mg, 175-mg, and 100-mg, respectively. Patient 1 developed venous thrombosis of lower limbs after 16 years of clozapine treatment, which was improved after thrombolytic therapy. Ten years later, the patient developed shortness of breath after activity and the symptom gradually worsened. Bilateral pulmonary embolism was diagnosed by computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA), and warfarin and rivaroxaban were given successively for anticoagulation. One year later, the patient developed cardiac insufficiency. The patient was diagnosed as having chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary artery systolic pressure was 86-mmHg), chronic cor pulmonale, and cardiac insufficiency. Warfarin combined with cardiac glycosides, diuretics, and other symptomatic treatments were given. After 3 months of treatments, his dyspnea was markedly relieved and the pulmonary systolic pressure was reduced to 48-mmHg. Patient 2 developed pulmonary embolism after 5 years of clozapine treatment. After thrombolytic therapy, he was given oral warfarin and the drug was discontinued by himself 3 years later. Pulmonary embolism recurred 2 years after the drug withdrawal. Nadroparin calcium and warfarin anticoagulation was given successively and 3 months later, CTPA showed that pulmonary embolism basically disappeared. Patient 3 developed lower-extremity venous thrombosis after 2 years of clozapine treatment, and pulmonary embolism occurred 1 year later, which was improved after anticoagulation, diuretics, and other treatments. Three years later, the patient stopped warfarin by herself, and 10 months later, her pulmonary embolism recurred. Low-molecular-weight heparin sodium as bridge therapy to warfarin was given. Three months later, CTPA showed that pulmonary artery thrombosis basically disappeared.

    A 46-year-old female patient was treated with Jingangteng capsules 2 g (4 capsules) thrice daily and Kangfuyan capsules 1.2 g (3 capsules) twice daily after hysterectomy. After 23 days of treatments, the patient developed gastrointestinal discomfort, and Jingangteng capsules and Kangfuyan capsules were stopped 2 days later. However, gastrointestinal discomfort gradually worsened and symptoms such as nausea, dark urine, and yellow staining of the skin and sclera appeared. After discontinuing the drug for 10 days, laboratory tests showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 366-U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 485-U/L, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 145-U/L, gamma glutamyltransferase (γ-GT) 67-U/L, total bilirubin (TBil) 67.1-μmol/L, and direct bilirubin (DBil) 59.5-μmol/L. Viral hepatitis and biliary obstruction were excluded by laboratory tests and imaging examination, and drug-induced liver injury was diagnosed. Oral liver-protective drugs and IV infusions of compound glycyrrhizin injection and polyene phosphatidylcholine injection were given successively, but jaundice continued to deepen with the peak TBil and DBil values of 189.7-μmol/L and 159.4-μmol/L, respectively. An IV infusion of ademetionine 1,4-butanedisulfonate for injection 1 g dissolved in 5% glucose injection 250-ml was given once daily. Three days later, the patient′s symptoms were improved and the jaundice subsided obviously; 9 days later, the liver function was improved obviously and laboratory tests showed ALT 29-U/L, AST 50-U/L, γ-GT 36-U/L, TBil 66.5-μmol/L, and DBil 53.2-μmol/L; 1 month later, her liver function returned to normal.

    Thrombocytopenia is a severe adverse reaction of vancomycin, which can cause hemorrhagic death. The pathogenesis of vancomycin induced thrombocytopenia (VIT) is not clear, and most studies suggest that VIT is related to vancomycin-dependent antiplatelet antibodies IgG and IgM. In vitro studies, it was found that vancomycin induced a series of changes in human platelets, resulting in activation, apoptosis, and reduction of platelets. Clinical manifestations of VIT are various degrees of bleeding. If patient was diagnosed with VIT after ruling out the influencing factors of other diseases or drugs, drug treatment should be promptly withdrawn or changed, and in severe cases, platelets transfusion, corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, rituximab, and hemodialysis should be considered.

    To explore the characteristics and factors affecting the occurrence of renal injury in patients with abnormal biochemical indexes of renal function after the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), and to provide reference for selection of clinical treatment regimen. Methods Patients who were treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors researched and developed independently in China including camrelizumab, sintilimab, tislelizumab, and toripalimab from March 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022 and showed estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <90-ml/(min·1.73 m2) and/or serum creatinine (Scr)>105-μmol/L were retrieved from the China Hospital Pharmacovigilance System. The clinical data including general information, anti-tumor treatment regimen, laboratory test results, and concomitant medications were collected. Patients were divided into kidney injury group and non-kidney injury group, and all the clinical characteristics were compared between the 2 groups, the influencing factors of kidney injury were analyzed using a binary logistic regression model, the odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Results A total of 222 patients were entered in the analysis, including 170 males and 52 females, with a median age of 67 (36, 85) years. Of them, 144 patients were treated with carrilizumab, 38 with sindilizumab, 31 with tirelizumab, and 9 with treprolizumab; 29 patients (13.1%) developed kidney injury, including 26 cases of grade 1 and 3 cases of grade 2 renal injuries; the time of renal injury occurrence was 19-355 days after the first application of ICIs, and the median time was 108 days. After diagnosed of kidney injury, 13 out of 29 patients stopped ICIs, of which 6 had recovered kidney function and 7 had no improvement; 16 patients continued the ICIs treatment, of which 10 patients had recovered or improved kidney function and 6 had no improvement. The clinical characteristics of patients in the 2 groups were compared, and 10 variables including age, gender, baseline renal function, previous use of carboplatin, previous radiotherapy, combined chemotherapy containing cisplatin, combined paclitaxel chemotherapy, combined tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) anti-vascular therapy, combined proton pump inhibitors, and combined radiotherapy were screened for the binary logistic regression analysis. The results showed that female (OR=3.046, 95%CI: 1.149-8.077), ≤65 years (OR=3.649, 95%CI: 1.435-9.274), combined TKI anti-vascular therapy (OR=4.773, 95%CI: 1.496-15.227), and combined radiotherapy (OR=8.655, 95%CI: 1.268-59.076) were independent risk factors for the development of kidney injury. Conclusions The incidence of kidney injury in patients with eGFR <90-ml/(min·1.73 m2) and/or Scr >105-μmol/L after using ICIs is 13.1%. In these patients, female, ≤65 years, combined TKI anti-vascular therapy, and combined radiotherapy may be risk factors for the development of ICI-associated kidney injury.

    Objective: To understand the types of drug eruptions and their causative agents in order to help clinicians to diagnose and treat drug eruptions. Methods: The clinical data from outpatients between January 2002 and December 2007 were collected. The latent period, causative agents, type, treatment, and outcome of drug eruptions were analyzed retrospectively. Results: A total of 341 patients[165 men and 176 women aged 3~90 years, average age (45.67±19.98) years ] were enrolled in a study. Two hundred and ninety-eight patients of them had a certain latent period. The latent period from exposure to onset of symptoms was ≤1 week in 247 cases (82.89%),~2 weeks in 28 cases (9.40%) and >2 weeks in 23 cases (7.71%). Two hundred and ninetythree patients (85.92%) received monotherapy. The common agents causing drug eruptions were β-lactam antibiotics (68 cases, 32.2%), analgesicantipyretic agents (49 case, 16.72%), quinolones (32 cases, 10.92%), Chinese patent medicines (30 cases, 10.24%), and sulfonamides (29 cases, 9.90%). Other causative agents included cardiovascular agents, antiepileptics, biological products, sedatives and hypnotics. The types of drug eruptions were morbilliform or scarlatiniform exanthema (exanthematous eruption) (147 cases), urticaria (71 cases), fixed drug eruption (60 cases), erythema multiform (7 cases), purpuric eruption (4 cases), eczematid (2 cases), severe erythema multiform (1 case), and acneiform eruption (1 case). Exanthematous eruption is mainly caused by β-lactam antibiotics (49 cases), quinolones (18 cases), analgesic-antipyretic agents (18 cases) and Chinese patent medicines (16 cases). Urticaria is mainly caused by quinolones (10 case) . Fixed drug eruption is mainly caused by sulfonamides (28 cases) and analgesic-antipyretic drugs (22 cases). All the patients fully recovered after receiving antihistamines, corticosteroids and symptomatic and supportive treatment. Conclusion: The most common drug eruptions are exanthematous eruption, followed by urticaria and fixed drug eruption. The most common drugs that cause drug eruptions are β-lactam antibiotics, analgesic-antipyretic agents, quinolones, Chinese patent medicines, and sulfonamides.

    ObjectiveTo explore the effect of different dosage of acyclovir (ACV) on renal function and its mechanism in mice.MethodsThirty ICR mice were divided into the control, ACV 150 μg/g and 600 μg/g groups by complete randomization method. Each group comprised 10 mice. The mice in the ACV 150 and 600 μg/g groups were injected with different dosage of ACV, the control group were injected with same volume of 0.9% sodium chloride via caudal vein once daily for 7 days. The mice′ body weight before the first medication and after the last medication was weighed. The levels of serum creatinine (Scr) and urea nitrogen (BUN) after medication were detected. The mice were sacrificed after collecting the blood samples. The mice kidneys were weighed and the renal coefficient was calculated. One kidney was used for pathologic examinations, and the other was for detection of expression of kidney injury factor-1 (KIM-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-ɑ (TNF-α) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) by immunohistochemical Envision two-step method. The expression score was calculated according to the staining intensity and the percentage of positive cells.ResultsOn day 7 of medication, the body weight of mice in the ACV 150, 600 μg/g groups were lower than that in the control group [(29.0±0.59) g, (23.6±3.0) g vs. (31.9±2.4) g, P<0.05, P<0.01], the renal coefficient and the levels of BUN and Scr in ACV 600 μg/g group were higher than those in the control group [(8.52±0.77)% vs. (6.04±0.71)%,P<0.01; (204 74) μmol/L vs. (133±30) μmol/L, P<0.01; (13.8±2.8) mmol/L vs. (6.9±1.2) mmol/L, P<0.05]. There were renal tubular dilatation and few inflammatory response cell in renal interstitium in the ACV 150 μg/g group and infiltration of flammatory cells in renal interstitium. There were infiltration of flammatory cells and fibroplasia in renal interstitium and some renal tubular deformation and necrosis in ACV 600 μg/g group. The expressions of KIM-1, IL-6, TNF- α and TGF-β1 in renal tissues of mice in the ACV 150 and 600 μg/g groups were all positive. The expression score of KIM-1 in ACV 150 and 600 μg/g groups were higher than that in the control group [(2.5±1.5), (4.2±2.1) vs. (1.0±3.2),both P<0.05]. The expression scores of IL-6,TNF-αand TGF-β1 in the ACV 600 μg/g were higher than those in the control group [(1.5±0.5) vs. (0.2±1.5), (6.5±1.5) vs. (3.0±2.3), (3.5±2.5) vs. (1.2±2.7), all P<0.05] . ConclusionsThe doses of ACV 150 and 600 μg/g can cause different degree of renal tubular damage and interstitial inflammation in mice. The renal toxicity of ACV may be related to the apoptosis induced by oxidative stress.

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) induced by bevacizumab. Methods Relevant databases at home and abroad were searched as of August 2020 and the case reports of PRES induced by bevacizumab were collected. The basic information of the patients, application of bevacizumab (usage and dosage, single use or combined use, combination regimen, etc.), occurrence time of PRES, clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, intervention measures and outcomes, etc. were recorded and descriptively analyzed. Results A total of 25 patients derived from 21 literature were enrolled in the study, including 6 males and 19 females, aged from 6 to 72 years with a median age of 52 years. The primary diseases were colorectal cancer in 13 patients, breast cancer in 4 patients, lung adenocarcinoma in 2 patients, and each cholangiocarcinoma, liver cancer, ovarian cancer, renal cell carcinoma, hepatoblastoma, and glioblastoma in 1 patient respectively. Seven patients had a history of hypertension. Twenty-one patients were treated with bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy, and the other 4 were treated with bevacizumab alone. PRES occurred from 16-hours to 196 days after first use of bevacizumab, mostly within 21 days after the last medication. The main clinical manifestations included blood pressure elevation (in 21 patients), generalized tonic-clonic seizures (in 17 patients), persistent headache and dizziness (in 12 patients), coma or disturbance of consciousness (in 11 patients), visual impairment or vision loss (in 9 patients), nausea and vomiting (in 6 patients), language impairment or aphasia (in 5 patients), etc. Twenty-four patients underwent head magnetic resonance imaging and the results showed that vasogenic brain edema occurred in occipital lobe, parietal lobe, frontal lobe, cerebellum, or temporal cortex; one patient underwent head computed tomography examination and the result showed mild atrophy of the posterior cerebellum. After the diagnosis of PRES, all the 25 patients stopped taking bevacizumab and received symptomatic treatments. Twenty-three patients had normal blood pressure and relieved symptoms 2-13 days later with imaging examinations showing disappeared brain lesions after 9 days to 10 weeks (2 of which finally died because their condition of PRES worsened later), and the other 2 patients died because their symptoms were not relieved after symptomatic treatments. Two patients resumed bevacizumab treatment after the clinical symptoms and brain lesions in imaging examination disappeared completely, and PRES did not recur. Conclusions The time from the application of bevacizumab to the occurrence of PRES is various, mostly within 21 days after the last application. The clinical and imaging manifestations of PRES induced by bevacizumab are similar to those of PRES caused by other factors. After stopping bevacizumab and receiving symptomatic treatments, most patients could have a good prognosis. It should be alert to the deterioration of the PRES which can lead to death.

    Objective To investigate the effect of drug metabolism related gene polymorphism on the efficacy of clopidogrel in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods The medical records and follow-up records of ACS patients, who were hospitalized in the People′s Hospital of Daxing District between 2017 and 2019, received standardized treatment with aspirin (100-mg/day)+clopidogrel (75-mg/day), and underwent testing for genetic polymorphisms related to clopidogrel absorption/metabolism, were collected. The patients were divided into thrombotic event group and non-thrombotic event group according to whether they experienced thrombotic events such as myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and cerebral infarction within 1 year of treatment. The age, gender, smoking history and drinking habits, underlying diseases, drug combination, and alleles related to clopidogrel absorption/metabolism in patients in the 2 groups were compared. The factors affecting the clinical efficacy of clopidogrel was analyzed using logistic regression model. Results A total of 342 patients were included in the analysis, including 274 males and 68 females, aged (58±9) years; of them, 78 (22.8%) developed thrombotic events. The differences in age, gender, smoking history, drinking history, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, percutaneous coronary intervention history, proportion of combined with calcium channel antagonists, cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19*3, paraoxonase-1 Q192R, and adenosine triphosphate binding cassette transporter B1 C3435T between the thrombotic event group and the non-thrombotic event group were not statistically significant (all P>0.05), but the body mass index (BMI), the proportion of CYP2C19*2 GG type and CYP2C19*17 CT type in patients in the thrombotic event group were lower than those in the non-thrombotic event group (all P<0.05), and the proportion of patients with proton pump inhibitor and CYP2C19*17 CC type in the thrombotic event group was higher than that in the non-thrombotic event group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high BMI (OR=0.915, 95%CI: 0.847-0.989, P=0.026), CYP2C19*2 GG type (OR=0, 95%CI: 0-0.008, P<0.001), and GA type (OR=0.028, 95%CI: 0.003-0.296, P=0.003) were independent protective factors for thrombotic events after clopidogrel treatment; CYP2C19*17 CC type (OR=2-856.665, 95%CI: 87.337-93-436.810, P<0.001) was an independent risk factor for thrombotic events after clopidogrel treatment. Conclusion CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*17 mutations are important factors affecting the efficacy of clopidogrel and the occurrence of thrombotic events after treatment in ACS patients.

    A 3-year-old male patient underwent adenoidectomy under general anesthesia due to adenoidal hypertrophy and was given penehyclidine hydrochloride injection by intravenous injection to inhibit gland secretion; anesthesia induction with propofol, succinylcholine chloride, and naborphine injection were given by intravenous injection; sevoflurane was used for anesthesia maintenance. About 7 hours after the operation, the patient developed dark urine and lower limbs pain. Laboratory tests showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 256-U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 1-706-U/L, creatine kinase (CK)>16-000-U/L, CK-MB>1-000-U/L, myoglobin (MYO) 417-μg/L, and urine occult blood (+). Symptomatic treatments such as rehydration, alkalization of urine, and protection of myocardium were given. On the 1st day after the surgery, the urine color in the boy returned to normal and myalgia disappeared; on the 3rd day, MYO was 42-μg/L; on the 7th day, laboratory tests showed ALT 126-U/L, AST 41 U/L, CK 395-U/L, and CK-MB 23-U/L. One month later, the cardiac enzyme, liver and kidney functions in the child were all within the normal range. According to literature review, penehyclidine hydrochloride injection, propofol, naborphine injection, and sevoflurane are less likely to cause rhabdomyolysis, and it is considered that the rhabdomyolysis in the boy was more likely to be related to succinylcholine chloride.

    Objective To explore the relationship between high performance liquid chromato- graphy (HPLC) fingerprint and toxicity of Gelsemium elegans fermented by Ganoderma lucidum (Ganoderma lucidum-Gelsemium elegans) for different time. Methods Gelsemium elegans was processed by biphasic solid-state fermentation with Ganoderma lucidum. A total of 10-samples of Ganoderma lucidum- Gelsemium elegans were collected after fermentation for 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27 days (sampling twice on day 27, number: S1-S10) and the fingerprints were determined by self-established HPLC. One hundred specific pathogen-free ICR mice were randomly divided into 10 groups (each group comprised 10 mice, half were male and half were female). The median lethal dose of Ganoderma lucidum-Gelsemium elegans collected after fermentation for 11 days in mice was used as the final concentration in toxicity test. S1-S10 Ganoderma lucidum-Gelsemium elegans solutions were prepared and given to 10 groups of mice respectively by gavage administration and the death of mice was observed. According to the calculation formula of grey correlation analysis, the correlation coefficients between the common peaks of S1-S10 Ganoderma lucidum-Gelsemium elegans in chromatographic fingerprint and their toxicity test results (death rate in mice) was calculated and the main components contributing to the toxicity of Ganoderma lucidum-Gelsemium elegans were analyzed. Results A total of 17 common peaks were identified in the chromatographic fingerprint spectrum of S1-S10 Ganoderma lucidum-Gelsemium elegans. The mortalities in mice caused by S1-S10 of Ganoderma lucidum-Gelsemium elegans were 1.00, 1.00, 0.80, 0.70, 0.60, 0.60, 0.50, 0.40, 0, and 0, respectively. The grey correlation analysis showed that the correlation coefficients of common peak 7, 3, 6, 9, 1, 8, 17, and 12 to toxicity were 0.868, 0.838, 0.830, 0.828, 0.824, 0.820, 0.818, and 0.802, respectively. The chemical components represented by these 8 chromatographic peaks had more contribution to the toxicity of Ganoderma lucidum-Gelsemium elegans. Conclusions With the extension of fermentation time, the toxicity of Ganoderma lucidum-Gelsemium elegans decreased gradually, and toxicity was the lowest at 27 days of fermentation. The toxicity of Gelsemium elegans after fermentation was the result of a join action from multiple components. The identification of the main toxicity components can provide a reference for the quality control of Ganoderma lucidum-Gelsemium elegans and the fermentation process optimization.

    Objective To explore the effect of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) treatment on renal function for preventing mother-to-infant transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in pregnant women during the second and third trimester of pregnancy. Methods The subjects were selected from pregnant women with HBV infection who were registered in Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University and delivered between January and December 2021. The pregnant women who had HBV DNA ≥2.0×105 IU/ml and took TDF at 24-28 weeks of gestation were included in treatment group, and the pregnant women who had HBV DNA <2.0×105 IU/ml and did not use anti-HBV drugs during pregnancy were included in control group. The medical records data of pregnant women in the 2 groups were collected, including urine routine examination, liver function, renal function, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood phosphorus, serum markers of hepatitis B, HBV DNA, ect. at 24-28 weeks of gestation (baseline data), renal function, eGFR, serum phosphorus at 36-37 weeks of gestation, delivery, and 42 days postpartum, and adverse events related to renal tubular injury. Serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen, eGFR, and blood phosphorus at baseline level, 36-37 weeks, delivery and 42 days postpartum, and changes of Scr and blood phosphorus before and after treatment between the 2 groups were compared, and adverse events related to renal tubular injury in the treatment group were recorded. Results A total of 189 pregnant women were entered in the analysis, including 106 in the treatment group and 83 in the control group. The differences in age, proportion of primipara, baseline level of alanine aminotransferase, Scr, blood urea nitrogen, eGFR and blood phosphorus between the 2 groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05), but the proportion of HBeAg-positive women and HBV DNA level in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The differences in Scr, blood urea nitrogen, eGFR, and blood phosphorus between the treatment group and the control group at 36-37 weeks of gestation, delivery and 42 days postpartum were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The trends of changes in Scr, blood urea nitrogen, eGFR, and blood phosphorus from baseline level to 42 days postpartum were similar between 2 groups (all P>0.05). None of the pregnant women in the treatment group had adverse events related to renal tubular injury, such as hypophosphatemia, elevated Scr, renal hypouricemia, β2-microglobulinuria, non-diabetic glycosuria, metabolic acidosis, etc. Conclusion TDF is safe for the kidney in the second and third trimester of pregnancy to strengthen the blocking of mother-to-infant  transmission of HBV.

    Objective To explore the risk and influencing factors of atrial fibrillation (AF) due to ivabradine. Methods The database of US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) was searched and the drug-related adverse event (AE) reports from the 2nd quarter of 2015 to the 4th quarter of 2019 were extracted. According to the first suspicious drug, the reports were divided into ivabradine group and other drugs group, which were further divided into AF event group and non AF event group, respectively. The signal intensity of AF events related to ivabradine was screened and statistically analyzed by reporting odds ratio (ROR). If the number of AF events was more than 3 and the lower limit of 95% confidence interval (CI) of ROR was more than 1, the AF signal was positive. The stability of the results was evaluated by subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis and the adjusted ROR value was calculated using logistic regression model in order to reduce the influence of confounding factors. The differences of clinical characteristics such as age, gender, dose, and indications between patients in the AF event group and non AF event group were compared. The clinical characteristics with significant difference (P<0.05) were enrolled in the multivariate logistic regression model to analyze the influencing factors of AF induced by ivabradine. Results A total of 6-019-954 reports were entered in the analysis, including 1-799 cases (0.03%) in the ivabradine group and 6-018-155 cases (99.97%) in the other drugs group. There were 51 cases (2.83%) of AF events in the ivabradine group and 24-266 cases (0.40%) of AF events in the other drugs group. The overall ROR of AF events induced by ivabradine was 7.21 (95%CI: 5.45-9.52) and the overall adjusted ROR was 6.81 (95%CI: 5.13-9.02). The results of subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were consistent with the results of overall analysis basically. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risks of AF after ivabradine administration in the 70-79 years old and ≥80 years old patients were higher than that in the <60 years old patients [odds ratio (OR)=6.525, 95%CI: 1.896-22.456, P=0.003; OR=4.948, 95%CI: 1.050- 23.315, P=0.043]. Conclusions Ivabradine has a risk of AF. Advanced age may be associated with increased risk of ivabradine related AF.

    A 50-year-old male patient was treated with adefovir dipivoxil 10-mg/d once daily for chronic hepatitis B. Seven years later, the patient developed multiple bone pains all over the body, which were gradually aggravated and restricted his movements. X-ray, CT, and magnetic resonance imaging examinations showed old fractures of the left 8th rib and the right 7th rib and fracture of the right femoral neck. Laboratory tests showed that serum creatinine was 111-μmol/L, serum phosphorus was 0.41-mmol/L, and alkaline phosphatase was 216-U/L. Bone mineral density examination showed osteoporosis in the 1st to 4th lumbar vertebrae, femoral necks, and total hipbones. Adefovir dipivoxil-induced hypophosphatemia was diagnosed. Adefovir dipivoxil was discontinued and replaced by entecavir, and oral phosphorus supplementation was given. After 2 months of treatments, the patient′s symptoms were improved. After 6 months of treatments, the bone pain basically disappeared and alkaline phosphatase, serum creatinine, and phosphorus returned to normal.

    A 72-year-old male patient with secondary pulmonary tuberculosis developed skin erythema and pruritus of both lower limbs after 10 months of antituberculosis treatment with isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide, followed by blisters and bullae, and the skin lesions gradually spread to his whole body. The skin biopsy showed bullous pemphigoid, and the antibodies to bullous pemphigoid 180 detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was 156.8-U/ml. Considering that the patient′s bullous pemphigoid might be induced by rifampin, rifampin was discontinued and antitu- berculosis therapy was changed to isoniazid, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, and moxifloxacin. Prednisone acetate and symptomatic and supportive treatments were given at the same time. Two weeks later, the lesions were markedly improved, and the original erosive surface got scabs and basically healed. At 6 months of follow-up, the lesions recovered, and no new lesions or blisters occurred.

    Druginduced acute renal failure (DARF) refers to a clinical syndrome characterized by acute disturbances of water and electrolytes, acidbase imbalances, and azotemia. DARF is a common druginduced disorder, accounting for about 19 to 40 percent of parenchemal acute renal failure. Its clinical features were the occurrence of oliguria-or nonoliguria-type ARF several days or weeks after the exposure to causative drugs. A part of patients may present with drug rash, fever, anemia, liver injury, nervous system impairment, and so on. The most common clinicalpathological types of DARF include acute tubular necrosis and acute interstitial nephritis. The main mechanisms of DARF involve in renal hypoperfusion secondary to hemodynamics alteration induced by drugs, acute tubular necrosis caused by toxicity to tubular epithelial cells, acute interstitial nephritis caused by hypersensitivity, lumens obstruction resulting from drug crystal deposition and glomerulonephritis mediated by immune reaction. The relevant risk factors for DARF include nephrotoxicity of drugs, dosage, treatment duration, and the patients’ status, such as advanced age, blood volume insufficiency, diabetes, previous kidney damage or renal insufficiency, etc. Common drugs associated with DARF include antibiotics, nonsteroid antiinflammatory drug, diuretics and certain medical Chinese herbs. The key point of this article is to introduce the clinical features, prevention and treatment of DARF caused by drugs frequently used in cardiovascular systems, gastrointestinal systems, and anti-virus drugs.

    Objective To detect adverse reaction risk signals of triazole antifungal agents and provide evidences for their safe use in clinic. Methods Adverse reaction/event reports with fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, or isavuconazonium as the primary suspect drug were collected from the data in National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring System of China reported by Shandong Province from January 2004 to June 2024 and the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from the first quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2023. Adverse reaction/event terms were standardized using the preferred term (PT) and system organ class in Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 24.0. Risk signals were detected using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method and the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN) algorithm. A PT was defined as an adverse reaction risk signal if the number of reports was ≥3, the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (CI) for ROR was >2, and the lower limit of the 95%CI for the information component (IC) was >0. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed. Results A total of 3 988 reports with the above 5 antifungal drugs as the primary suspect drug were collected from data in National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring System of China reported by Shandong Province, 822 (20.6%) of which were serious cases. Voriconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, and isavuconazonium was the primary suspect drug in 1 852, 1 395, 703, 27, and 11 cases among the 3 988 reports, and in 591 (31.9%), 149 (10.7%), 59 (8.4%), 18 (66.7%), and 5 (5/11) serious cases among the 822 serious case reports, respectively. A total of 20 066 reports with the above 5 drugs as the primary suspect drug were collected in FAERS database, 9 635 (48.0%) of which were serious cases. Voriconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, and isavuconazonium was the primary suspect drug in 7 758, 6 180, 2 869, 1 796, and 1 463 cases among the 20 066 reports, and in 4 295 (55.4%), 2 806 (45.4%), 1 191 (41.5%), 828 (46.1%), and 515 (35.2%) serious cases among the 9 635 serious case reports, respectively. Based on the data reported by Shandong Province and in FAERS database, 18 and 207 risk signals of  adverse reaction not mentioned in the labels were identified, respectively, and 5 of them were identified in both databases, including fluconazole-induced renal impairment and voriconazole-induced oliguria, delirium, psychiatric disorders, and rhabdomyolysis. In the data reported by Shandong Province and in FAERS database, 13 and 189 reports of muscle-related disorders (rhabdomyolysis, myopathy, and myositis) were identified respectively, involving voriconazole (in 8 and 62 cases), itraconazole (in 4 and 74 cases), and flucona- zole (in 1 and 53 cases). Conclusions Renal impairment induced by fluconazole and oliguria, delirium, psychiatric disorders, and rhabdomyolysis induced by voriconazole are risk signals of adverse reaction not mentioned in the labels for triazole antifungal agents. Voriconazole, itraconazole, and fluconazole may also cause muscle-related disorders, warranting vigilance in clinical practice.

    A 44-year-old male patient received sodium valproate tablets 0.2 g and carbamazepine 0.1 g twice daily orally for a long time due to epilepsy, rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets 10-mg once daily orally for a long time due to duodenal ulcer. Due to poor efficacy, the antiepileptic drug was adjusted to sodium valproate sustained-release tablets 0.5 g orally twice daily in combination with levetiracetam 0.25 g orally twice daily, and paroxetine 20-mg orally once daily because of depression was given at the same time. After about 3 months of treatments, the patient repeatedly suffered from limb convulsions, and the laboratory test showed serum sodium 128-mmol/L. Oral and intravenous sodium supplementation were given for 16 days, but his blood sodium level was still less than 130-mmol/L. It was considered that the hyponatremia of the patient might be caused by drugs. After stopping paroxetine, the patient′s blood sodium concentration returned to 140-mmol/L 2 days later.

    Objective To analyze the occurrence and clinical features of liver injury induced by dandelion, a food-medicine homologous traditional Chinese medicine. Methods The patients with liver injury caused by taking dandelion, who were admitted to the Department of Infectious Diseases, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2023, were enrolled in this study. The electronic medical records of the patients were retrieved, and the patients′ general information, using of dandelion, combined medication, clinical manifestations, and liver biochemical test results were recorded. The causal relationship between dandelion and the liver injury were evaluated, and the clinical manifestations, classification, severity, treatment and prognosis of liver injury were analyzed. Results A total of 13 patients were enrolled in the study, including 8 females and 5 males. The age ranged from 29 to 78 years. Nine patients took dandelion by themselves, and 4 accor- ding to the doctor′s advice. The administration methods included dandelion root tea drink, whole herb tea drink, and powder drink mixed in water. Most patients′ liver injury occurred within 90 days after taking dandelion. The main clinical manifestations were yellowish staining of skin and sclera, dark urine, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, etc. The laboratory tests showed that serum aminotransferase and bilirubin increased in 13 patients, alkaline phosphatase increased in 12 patients, and plasma ammonia increased in 5 patients. The causality evaluation results showed "probable related" in 8 cases and "highly probable related" in 5 cases. The clinical classification showed that 11 patients were of hepatocellular type and 2 of mixed type. The severity was mainly grade 2 (8 of 13 patients). Two patients with grade 3 and 2 patients with grade 4 developed liver failure. After symptomatic treatments, 11 patients′ liver function returned to normal or were improved; 2 patients′ condition progressed, of which 1 patient survived after liver transplantation and 1 patient died. Conclusions Dandelion can cause liver injury, mostly occurring within 90 days after administration, with moderate severity. After stopping dandelion and giving symptomatic treatments, most patients have a good prognosis, but there is a risk of liver failure and death.

The duration of medication was (57±3) days. Among the 2-505 patients, 1-949 cases (77.80%) received the drug twice daily, 553 (22.08%) thrice daily, and 3 (0.12%) once daily; 79(3.15%) patients developed 82 adverse events during Tenghuang Jiangu tablets treatment, including 39 cases of adverse events of digestive system (42 times), 8 cases of systemic adverse events, 6 cases of infectious adverse events, 6 cases of skin and mucous membrane adverse events, 5 cases of neurological adverse events, 4 cases of respiratory system adverse events, 3 cases of eye organ adverse events, 3 cases of cardiac organoid adverse events, 3 cases of injury adverse events, and 2 cases of reproductive system and breast adverse events. A causal evaluation was conducted on the above-mentioned adverse events, with only one case evaluated as possible and the rest as suspicious. Only one patient stopped using Tenghuang Jiangu tablets after an adverse event occurred, while the other patients did not stop the medication, and all patients returned to normal after untreated or symptomatic treatments. Conclusions The incidence of adverse events in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis with Tenghuang Jiangu tablets is 3.15%. Common adverse events include digestive system adverse events, systemic adverse events, infectious adverse events, skin and mucous membrane adverse events, and neurological adverse events.

    Objective: To observe adverse effects in SARS patients receiving corticosteroids. Method: 98 SARS cases were treated with or without corticosteroids, that is, divided into treatment group(57 cases) and control group(41). The former was then subgrouped under three different doses of the drug:<160mg/day(16 cases), ≥320mg/day(6) and in-between(35); and under different administration duration: <20 days(19 cases), ≥20 days(38). The adverse effects were compared between corticosteroids groups and control group. Results: In corticosteroids groups and control group, hypopotassemia was 43.9% and 26.8%, elevation of blood-glucose concentration was 45.6% and 22.0%, secondary infections were 31.6% and 14.6% respectively. Fever recurred markedly in the former(38.6%) during a gradual reduction in dosage while 17.1% in the latter. Thoracic x-ray manifestations showed more severe inflammation in the former (21.1%) than in the latter (7.3%). And occurrence rates of unwanted reactions were positively related with the doses and duration of treatment among corticosterodis groups. Conclusion: Corticosteroids treatment of SARS infection may result in hypopotassemia, elevation of blood glucose and more secondary infections. When its dosage reduces gradually, fever would recurred.

    Objective To explore the adverse cardiac event risk signals in arsenical for injection, improve the clinical understanding of the cardiac toxicity of arsenical. Methods The risk signals of adverse cardiac events associated with arsenical for injection were mined using 3 methods, including reporting odds ratio (ROR) method, proportional reporting ratio (PRR) method, and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) comprehensive standard method based on data in Shandong Provincial Center of Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring (Shandong data) in China from the first quarter of 2003 to the fourth quarter of 2022 and the data in US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from the fourth quarter of 2003 to the third quarter of 2023. The definition of risk signal in ROR and PRR method was the number of adverse event reports ≥3 and the lower limit of 95% confidence interval (CI) of ROR and PRR >1. The definition of risk signals in MHRA comprehensive standard method was the number of adverse event reports ≥3, PRR>2, and χ2>4. Results There were a total of 358 reports on arsenical for injection in Shandong data, of which 275 (76.8%) were related to arsenious acid and sodium chloride injection, and 83 (23.2%) were related to arsenic trioxide for injection. Among the 358 reports, adverse cardiac reactions were reported in 25 reports (7.0%), and severe cases accounted for 28.0% (7/25). There were a total of 1-294 reports on ATO in FAERS, and adverse cardiac events were reported in 418 reports (32.3%), of which severe cases accounted for 62.2% (260/418). The signal mining results form 275 reports on arsenious acid and sodium chloride injection in Shandong data showed that QT interval prolonged, chest tightness, cardiopalmus, and palpitations were risk signals. Among them, the signal strength of QT interval prolonged was the strongest. A total of 35 adverse cardiac event signals were mined in FAERS data, of which the signal strength of QT interval prolonged and long QT syndrome were the strongest. In addition, the strength of 6 arrhythmia signals (bradyarrhythmia, supraventricular premature contraction, ventricular premature contraction, torsade de pointes, ventricular tachycardia, and atrioventricular block) and 6 cardiac organic lesion signals (pericarditis, endocarditis, pericardial effusion, myocarditis, mitral regurgitation, and cardiac enlargement) also ranked high. Conclusions Arsenical for injection is strongly associated with cardiotoxicity, and the proportion of severe cases is relatively high. The cardiotoxicity mainly affects the QT interval, and can also manifest as various types of arrhythmias and some cardiac organic lesions.

    A 57-year-old male patient with brain metastases after radical resection of adenocarcinoma of the lung and adjuvant chemotherapy received anlotinib 12-mg orally once daily (2 weeks on and 1 week off) combined with temozolomide 150-mg orally once daily (3 weeks on and 1 week off). After 5 months of treatments, the patient developed symptoms such as cough, chest tightness, and exertional dyspnea, which gradually worsened. No obvious abnormalities were found in laboratory tests, electrocar- diogram, or cardiac echocardiography. Chest CT examination showed interstitial pulmonary edema in bilateral lungs, which was considered to be related to anlotinib. Anlotinib and temozolomide treatments were stopped and glucocorticoid and symptomatic treatments were given. Five days later, the patient′s cough, chest tightness, and other symptoms were relieved. Anlotinib was replaced by bevacizumab, which was combined with temozolomide to continue the anti-tumor treatment, and the patient did not experience discomfort. One month later, chest CT showed that the interstitial edema in bilateral lungs was markedly absorbed.

    Objective To explore the risk factors of myelosuppression caused by nedaplatin in patients with lung cancer. Methods The medical records of postoperative patients with advanced lung cancer and receiving nedaplatin-based chemotherapy in Shandong Provincial Qianfoshan Hospital from June 2015 to August 2018 were searched using hospital information system and analyzed retrospectively. Accor- ding to sex, age (<60 years old, ≥ 60 years old), glutathione mercaptotransferase (GSTP) 1A313G genotype (AA or AG), pathological classification (non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer), having smoking history or not, being with or without liver injury and kidney injury, the patients were divided into 2 groups, respectively. The overall myelosuppression incidence and incidences of myelosuppression with different manifestations and different degrees were compared respectively between each 2 groups of patients with above-mentioned 7 different clinical features. The risk factors of nedaplatin-induced myelosuppression were analyzed using logistic regression. Results A total of 46 patients were enrolled, including 34 males and 12 females. Among the 46 patients, 30 cases developed myelosuppression after administration of nedaplatin, and the overall incidence of myelosuppression was 65.2%, including 20 cases of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ (43.5%) and 10 cases of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ (21.7%). After administration of nedaplatin, the incidence of severe myelosuppression in patients with small cell lung cancer (3/5)was higher than that with non-small cell lung cancer (17.1%) (P<0.05), showed by the univariate analysis; the overall incidence of leukopenia in males was higher than that in females (58.8% vs. 25.0%); the overall incidence of leukopenia and neutropenia was higher in patients with smoking history than that in patients without previous smoking history (68.0% vs. 28.6%, 0.01%, P=0.01; 64.0% vs. 33.3%, P=0.04); the overall incidence of thrombocytopenia in patients with small cell lung cancer was higher than that with non-small cell lung cancer (4/5 vs. 9.8%, P<0.01); the differences in the incidences of different degrees of neutropenia in patients with and without smoking history were statistically significant (P=0.03); the differences in the incidences of different degrees of leukopenia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia in patients with different pathological classification were statistically significant (P<0.01 for all). The binary logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of thrombocytopenia in patients with small cell lung cancer was higher than that with non-small cell lung cancer (OR=25.00, 95%CI:2.20-284.61, P=0.01). The orderial logistic regression analysis showed that a pathological classification of small cell lung cancer was a risk factor for severe myelosuppression, leukopenia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia(OR=13.20, 95%CI: -4.67-0.49, P=0.02; OR=22.20, 95%CI: -5.37-0.83, P=0.01; OR=19.49, 95%CI: -5.11- 0.82, P=0.01; OR=13.87, 95%CI: -4.89-0.38, P=0.02). Conclusions A pathological classification of small cell lung cancer is an independent risk factor for severe myelosuppression in lung cancer patients after taking nedaplatin. Male patients with a history of smoking are more likely to have leukopenia/neutropenia.

    ObjectiveTo investigate the application of vancomycin in elderly inpatients.Methods
    The clinical data of elderly inpatients (≥60 years) treated with vancomycin from September 2012 to November 2013 in 5 hospitals including Peking University First Hospital, Beijing Hospital, Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University, and Chinese PLA General Hospital were collected. All patients were divided into normal renal function group and renal insufficiency group. The application (dosage regimen, drug utilization situation, and therapeutic drug monitoring) and clinical efficacy of vancomycin and its effects on renal function in elderly patients were retrospectively analyzed. Drug utilization index (DUI) reflected the drug utilization situation. And parameters of renal function included serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine clearance rate (Ccr).ResultsA total of 149 patients were enrolled in this study comprising 60 males and 89 females with age of 60-92(76±7) years. There were 87 cases in the normal renal function group and 62 cases in renal insufficiency group. The most widely used regimen of application of vancomycin was 0.50 g once every 12 hours in the normal renal function group (29/87, 33.33%) and 0.50 g once daily in the renal insufficiency group(30/62, 48.39%). The total dosage and time of using vancomycin were respectively 2 135.15 g and 1 919.5 d. And the DUI was 0.56. Among the 149 patients, 111 cases(74.50%) underwent blood concentration monitoring and there were no statistically significant differences in constituent ratio of undergoing blood concentration monitoring between the normal renal function group and the renal insufficiency group[70.11%(61/87) vs.80.65%(50/62),χ2=2.11,P=0.15]. In all patients undergoing blood concentration monitoring, trough concentration was detected and in 7 patients peak concentration was detected. The number of cases whose trough concentrations <10 mg/L was 30(49.18%) and 25 cases (50.00%) in the normal renal function group and the renal insufficiency group, respectively, and there were no statistically significant differences (χ2=2.16,P=0.54). The differences between before and after administration of vancomycin in Scr[(117±79) μmol/L vs. (119±81)μmol/L], BUN[(10.5±5.7) mmol/L vs. (12.5±8.0) mmol/L], and Ccr[(69±37) ml/min vs. (67±36) ml/min] in all the 149 patients were not statistically significant(all P>0.05). The differences between before and after administration of vancomycin in Scr[(59±16)μmol vs. (70±30)μmol/L, (189±110)μmol/L vs.(203±113)μmol/L], BUN[(7.4±3.5) mmol/L vs.(9.2±5.8) mmol/L, (14.8±6.5) mmol/L vs.(17.4±9.0) mmol/L], and Ccr[(107±29) ml/min vs.(96±26) ml/min, (44±30) ml/min vs.(33±16) ml/min] in the normal renal function group and the renal insufficiency group were not statistically significant (all P>0.05).ConclusionsThe use of vancomycin in elderly inpatients was relatively cautious. Dosage regimen should be adjusted timely according to the results of blood concentration and renal function tests and individualized administration should be adopted in order that the efficacy and safety could be improved.

    Objective To understand the pre-warnings of drug dosage errors in medical advices in elderly inpatients with renal insufficiency by the prescription review system. Methods The pre-warnings of drug dosage errors in medical advices in ≥65 years old inpatients with renal insufficiency by the prescription review system in Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University Medical College from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 were reviewed, and the reasons for the wrong pre-warnings were analyzed. In the correct pre-warnings, the drugs involved in dosage errors related to kidney and the types of errors were evaluated, and the departments related to the occurrence of errors and the acceptance of physicians for pre-warnings were analyzed. Results A total of 511 medical advices on pre-warnings related to drug dose in ≥65 years old patients with renal insufficiency were included in the analysis. One hundred and eighty-three medical advices (35.8%) were evaluated as wrong pre-warnings, and 328 (64.2%) were correct pre-warnings. The medical advices with correct pre-warnings involved 25 kinds of drugs, of which the most involved drugs was antibacterial drugs [57.62%(189/328)]; the second was cardiovascular system drugs [24.70% (81/328)], among which trimetazidine tablets was the most common. Among the correct pre-warnings, 315 (96.04%) were excessive dose, and 13 (3.96%) were insufficient dose. The most common error content of excessive dose was "excessive single dose and excessive daily dose" (53.33%, 168/315), followed by "high frequency, excessive daily dose" (41.59%, 131/315); the most common errors of insufficient dose was "low frequency, insufficient daily dose" (9/13). A total of 186 (56.7%) medical advices were corrected by physicians after accepting the pre-warnings, and 142 (43.3%) were not. The acceptance rate of surgeons for pre-warning of wrong orders was higher than that of physicians, with a statistically significant difference [73.3%(96/131) vs. 45.7%(90/197), P<0.001]. Conclusions The effect of pre-warnings from the prescription review system on dosage errors related to kidney is positive. It is necessary to further improve the accuracy of the prescription review system for the dosage errors related to kidney, improve the acceptance of clinicians, and ensure the safety of patients.

    Objective To explore the safety of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid) in the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods Medical records of adult patients with COVID-19 who were hospitalized and treated with Paxlovid in Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University between March 23 and May 31, 2022 were collected through the hospital electronic medical record system. The occurrence (time of occurrence, clinical manifestations, severity, etc.) and outcomes of adverse reactions were analyzed retrospectively and the clinical characteristics of patients with or without adverse reactions were compared. Paxlovid was administered orally with nirmatrelvir 300-mg and ritonavir 100-mg every 12-hours for 5 consecutive days. Results Three hundred and sixty-four patients were entered in the analy- sis, including 200 males (54.9%) and 164 females (45.1%), with a median age of 60 (19, 92) years. The incidence of adverse reactions of Paxlovid was 13.2% (48/364), and the adverse reactions occurred 1 to 7 days after taking Paxlovid. Among the 48 patients, 37 patients had digestive system symptoms (mainly manifested as diarrhea in 17 patients, bitter mouth in 14 patients, etc.), 7 patients had nervous system symptoms (dizziness in 5 patients, headache in 2 patients), 4 patients had respiratory system symptoms (pharyngalgia in 3 patients, pharyngeal itching in 1 patient), 2 patients had kidney injury, 1 patient had elevated blood uric acid, 1 patient had myalgia, and 1 patient had rash. Of them, 2 patients had digestive and neurological symptoms at the same time, 1 patient had digestive and respiratory symptoms at the same time, and 1 patient had digestive, neurological, and respiratory symptoms at the same time. The severity of adverse reactions was grade 1 in 33 patients (68.8%) and grade 2 in 15 patients (31.2%), and no serious adverse reactions of grade 3 and above occurred. All patients completed 5 days of treatment except 1 patient who discontinued the drug because of intolerance to grade 2 digestive symptoms (nausea and bitter mouth). There were no significant differences in gender, age, body mass index, smoking status, underlying diseases, and COVID-19 clinical classification between the patients with and without adverse reactions (all P>0.05). Conclusions Paxlovid has a good safety in the treatment of COVID-19. The main adverse reaction is digestive system symptoms, mainly diarrhea and bitter mouth. Most of the symptoms are mild and the patient′s tolerance is good.

    The commonly used contraceptives currently are combined oral contraceptives (COC) which consist of estrogen and progestogen and are only available for women. Use of COC may cause several serious adverse reactions and one of them is venous thromboembolism(VTE). VTE usually occurs within 1-2 years of starting COC use, but it is unaffected by duration of use, and disappeared after drug withdrawal. The risk of developing VTE among oral contraceptive users is 4 times that of nonusers. The occurrence of VTE is related to the dose of estrogen and the type of progestogen in combined oral contraceptives. The incidence of VTE is obviously reduced if the dose of estrogen is<50 μg; and the risk of developing VTE is higher in third-generation oral contraceptives than in second-generation oral contraceptives. The mechanism of VTE might be that estrogen in COC promotes the activation of fibrinogen, increases level of the coagulation factors, decreases the level of antiprothrombin, and enhances the coagulation function. The risk factors for COC-induced VTE are cardiovascular diseases, advanced age, smoking, VTE or family history of VTE, and longterm bed rest. It is suggested that the women of reproductive age should be screened for the risk factors before receiving COC in order to decrease the risk of developing VTE.

    Objective: To study on the effects of erythropoietin on risk of thrombus in patients with chronic heart failure. Methods: Forty-three patients with chronic heart failure and mild anemia were divided randomizely into two groups: erythropoietin (EPO) group (22 cases) and control group (21 cases). The patients in the EPO group were administered with polysaccharide-iron complex 150 mg two times daily plus erythropoietin 10 000~15 000 U weekly. The patients in the control group were administered with polysaceharide-iron complex 150 mg two times daily. The target haemoglobin concentration was 135 g/L, and the duration of therapy was 3 months. The plasma levels of four thrombus molecular markers including thrombin-antithrombin Ⅲ complex (TAT), prothrombin fragments 1 and 2 (F1+2), D-dimer (D-D), and plasmin-antiplasmin complex (PAP) were measured with ELISA method after 3 months treatment. Results: There were not significant differences in four thrombus molecular markers before and after treatment in the EPO group, and after treatment between the EPO group and control group (all P>0.05). Conclusion:The potential risk of thrombus is not obviously increased in patrents with chronic heart failure treated with erythroietin 10 000~15 000 U weekly.

    A 61-year-old male patient with coronary heart disease was treated with dual antiplatelet therapy, lipid-lowering therapy (atorvastatin) and other symptomatic drugs after coronary interventions. Because the patient was at ultra-high-risk of cardiovascular events, had multiple in-stent restenosis, and had uncontrolled blood lipids, subcutaneous injection of evolocumab 140?mg was added once every 2 weeks. The platelet count (PLT) of the patient was within the reference range before evolocumab application. After 2 injections of evolocumab, he developed bloody sputum, blood blisters on the lips and scattered bleeding points around the body, with PLT 19×109/L. The dual antiplatelet therapy and evolocumab were suspended, but the bleeding was aggravated. According to the results of bone marrow puncture and biopsy, the patient was diagnosed with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Glucocorticoid, human immunoglobulin, recombinant human thrombopoietin and platelet transfusion were given but not effective. Subsequently, herombopag was added and PLT gradually increased. After 25 days, the PLT was 109×109/L.

    Objective To investigate the occurrence of adverse reactions in healthy females after vaccination with human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. Methods The subjects were healthy females of the right ages who were vaccinated with 4-valent HPV vaccine and 9-valent HPV vaccine in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from February 2018 to June 2019. The basic information (age, identity, education, and etc.), vaccination, adverse reactions, and outcomes of HPV vaccine recipients were collected by the self-established HPV vaccine recipient information login system and analyzed retrospectively. The differences of adverse reactions of recipients with different vaccines and different times of vaccines were compared. Results A total of 677 recipients were enrolled in the analysis. Five hundred and ten reci- pients with an age of (33±6) years received the first dose of 4-valent HPV vaccine, and 467 of them received the second dose; 167 recipients with an age of (24±2) years received the first dose of 9-valent HPV vaccine, and 118 of them received the second dose. Among the 677 recipients, 533 (78.7%) were cadres or office workers, 85 (12.6%) were students, and 59 (8.7%) were housewives; 525 (77.5%) had bachelor degree or above and 152 (22.5%) had below bachelor degree. The adverse reactions after HPV vaccination included injection site local reactions (including pain, swelling, and induration) and systemic reactions (including fever, nausea, fatigue, and menstrual cycle disorders). The differences in the incidences of overall and local adverse reactions after inoculations between the first dose of 4-valent HPV vaccine and the first dose of 9-valent HPV vaccine were statistically significant [2.5% (13/510) vs. 15.6% (26/167), χ2=39.283, P<0.001; 1.6% (8/510) vs. 12.6% (21/167), χ2=37.169, P<0.001], but the difference in the incidence of systemic reactions was not statistically significant [1.0%(5/510)vs. 3.0%(5/167), χ2=3.505,P=0.061]. The differences in the incidences of overall adverse reactions, local reactions, and systemic reactions between the second doses of 4-valent HPV and 9-valent HPV vaccines were not statistically significant [1.3% (6/467) vs. 2.5% (3/118), χ2=0.984, P=0.321; 0.6% (3/467) vs. 2.5% (3/118), χ2=3.350, P=0.067; 0.6% (3/467) vs. 0 (0/118), χ2=0.762, P=0.383]. The differences in the incidence of local and systemic adverse reactions between the first and the second dose of 4-valent HPV vaccine were not statistically significant [1.6% (8/510) vs.0.6% (3/467), χ2=1.879, P=0.171; 1.0% (5/510) vs. 0.6% (3/467), χ2=0.343, P=0.558]. The difference in the incidence of local adverse reactions between the first dose and the second dose of 9-valent HPV vaccine was statistically significant [12.6% (21/167) vs. 2.5% (3/118), χ2=9.024, P=0.003], and the difference in the incidence of systemic adverse reactions was not statistically significant [3.0% (5/167) vs. 0(0/118), χ2=3.596, P=0.058]. The local or systemic reactions after vaccination did not need treatment and could be self-relieving. Conclusions A few healthy females vaccinated with 4-valent or 9-valent HPV vaccines may have adverse reactions, most of which are mild and self-relieving. The adverse reactions of the 2 HPV vaccines mainly occur after the first dose of vaccination. The incidence of adverse reactions of the first dose of 9-valent HPV vaccine is higher than that of the first dose of 4-valent HPV vaccine.

    A 45-year-old male patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus was additionally treated with henagliflozin (10 mg, once daily), enalapril, fenofibrate, finerenone, celecoxib, eperisone and mecobalamin due to poor glycemic control, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other conditions at previous therapy of insulin aspart 30 and acarbose. Before the additional medication, the patient′s serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were normal., Later, the patient discontinued celecoxib, finerenone, and fenofibrate by himself as relevant symptoms were improved successively. On the 36th day of medication, the patient experienced paroxysmal pain in the lumbar region, which gradually worsened. Then the patient stopped using henagliflozin by himself 2 days later while the other medications remained. The next day, laboratory tests indicated Scr 180 μmol/L and BUN 9.6 mmol/L, and acute kidney failure was diagnosed. Analgesic, antispasmodic and glucocorticoid pulse therapy was administered, and the patient′s lumbar pain was gradually improved. On the 6th day of discontinuing henagliflozin, Scr was 142 μmol/L and BUN was 9.4 mmol/L; on the 9th day, Scr was 113 μmol/L and BUN was 9.1 mmol/L; approximately 3 months after drug discontinuation, Scr was 66 μmol/L and BUN was 6.0 mmol/L.

    Objective To evaluate the safety of venetoclax alone or combined with CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) in treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R CLL). Methods Databases of PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang Med Online, VIP, and SinoMed and websites such as ClinicalTrials.gov, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the European Drug Administration (EMA) were searched. The clinical studies with safety indicators of venetoclax alone or in combination with CD20 mAb in treatment of patients with R/R CLL were collected. Safety-relevant data were extracted and the meta-analysis was performed using R software. The effect values were the ratio of relative risk (RRR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results A total of 9 studies were enrolled in the analysis, all of which were single arm studies (8 prospective studies and 1 retrospective study). Eight hundred and nineteen patients were involved in the 9 studies, 719 of which were in the monotherapy group and 100 in the 2-drug combination group. The most common adverse events in venetoclax monotherapy or combined with CD20 mAb were hematologic adverse events. The risk of developing grade 3-4 neutrophilia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia was 46.96% (95%CI: 40.27%-53.76%), 20.46% (95%CI: 14.79%-27.59%), and 15.31% (95%CI: 10.30%-22.15%), respectively. Other grade 3-4 adverse events mainly included infection [17.79% (95%CI: 15.15%-20.77%)], tumor lysis syndrome [3.00% (95%CI: 1.75%-5.09%)], increased blood glucose [5.98% (95%CI: 3.80%-9.29%)], and hypokalemia [4.27% (95%CI: 2.54%-7.08%)]. Due to the adverse events, 28.82% (95%CI: 16.56%-45.24%) of patients interrupted venetoclax treatment for at least one dose, 17.19% (95%CI: 10.96%-25.94%) of patients reduced the venetoclax dose, 9.56% (95%CI: 7.64%-11.89%) of patients permanently discontinued venetoclax, and 1.90% (95%CI: 0.86%-4.17%) of patients died. Risks of grade 3-4 neutropenia and dose reduction of venetoclax were significantly higher in patients treated with venetoclax combined with CD20 mAb than in those treated with venetoclax alone (57.00% vs. 41.69%, RRR=1.36,95%CI: 1.12-1.66; 38.18% vs. 14.97%, RRR=2.55, 95%CI: 1.48-4.39). Conclusions The adverse events in venetoclax treated R/R CLL were mainly hematological adverse events and the risk of grade 3-4 neutropenia was more than 40%. After the combination with CD20 mAb, the risks of the other adverse events did not increase except for those of grade 3-4 neutropenia and dose reduction of venetoclax due to adverse events.

    Objective To provide a basis for the selection of antiemetic regimen by establishing an artificial intelligence model for predicting chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in cancer patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy with high emetic risk. Methods The clinical information on cancer patients who received cisplatin or carboplatin with area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC) ≥4 and registered in the Department of Oncology, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January 2018 to December 2022 was collected, including gender, age, history of alcohol consumption, history of vomiting in pregnancy, chemotherapy cycle, patient expects to have CINV, chemotherapeutic agents, antiemetic regimen, out-of-hospital antiemetic treatment, sleep of less than 7 hours on the night before chemotherapy, occurrence of CINV in the previous cycle, and creatinine clearance (Ccr). After pre-proces- sing, the data were randomly divided into the training set and the test set. The training set was used to construct the prediction model, and the test set was used to evaluate the prediction efficiency of the model. Three algorithms, gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), random forest (RF), and logistic regression (LR), were used to build a prediction model and evaluate the model performance, respectively. The evaluation metrics included accuracy, sensitivity, recall, F1 value (the reconciled mean of sensitivity and recall), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Finally, Shapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) was applied to analyze the interpretability of the clinical features with predictive significance. Results A total of 698 patients, 439 males (62.9%) with a median age of 64 (21, 84) years, were included in this study and received a total of 1-654 cycles of chemotherapy. The chemotherapy regimen contained cisplatin in 364 cases with 864 cycles of chemotherapy, and carboplatin with AUC ≥4 in 361 cases with 790 cycles of chemotherapy. The number of treatment cycles in which neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist (NK-1 RA), 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 receptor antagonist (5-HT3 RA), and dexamethasone were selected as the antiemetic regimen was 1 347, and in those with the selection of 5-HT3 RA and dexamethasone was 307. The Spearman′s correlation analysis showed no strong correlation between the feature variables in the patients, and all of them could be used for model building. GBDT optimal hyperparameters n_estimators=500, max_depth=9; RF optimal hyperparameters max_depth=5; LR optimal hyperparameters penalty=L2. Three prediction models, GBDT, RF and LR, were established based on the optimal hyperparameter training data, respectively. The accuracy of GBDT model was 0.903, sensitivity was 0.882, recall was 0.903, F1 value was 0.883, and AUROC was 0.778±0.036 (95%CI: 0.739-0.814); the accuracy of RF model was 0.885, sensitivity was 0.861, recall was 0.885, F1 value was 0.870, and AUROC was 0.679±0.041 (95%CI: 0.636- 0.720); the LR model had an accuracy of 0.817, a sensitivity of 0.851, a recall of 0.817, an F1 value of 0.832, and an AUROC of 0.682±0.042 (95%CI: 0.639-0.723). Ccr, age, chemotherapy cycle, history of alcohol consumption, and patient expects to have CINV were the main features predicted by the model. The risk of CINV was negatively associated with Ccr, age, and chemotherapy cycle. And the risk of CINV was lower in patients with no history of drinking alcohol and patient expects to have CINV. Conclusion The GBDT, RF, and LR models could all predict the risk of CINV in patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy with high emetic risk, with the GBDT model having the best predictive effect.

Before medication, the patient′s blood potassium was 3.3 mmol/L and blood chlorine was 116 mmol/L. Three days after SMZ-TMP treatment, the patient′s blood potassium was 5.7 mmol/L, blood chlorine was 114 mmol/L, blood pH was 7.3, urine pH was <5.5, blood chlorine was 114 mmol/L, and bicarbonate was 15 mmol/L. Hyperkalemia type renal tubular acidosis due to SMZ-TMP was considered. The dosage of SMZ-TMP was reduced to 2 tablets once daily orally. After 1 day of diuretic and potassium excretion treatments, the patient′s blood potassium levels returned to normal; after 2 days of the treatments, her blood chlorine was 109 mmol/L and bicarbonate was 17 mmol/L; after 3 days of the treatments, her chest CT showed emphysema in the neck and mediastinum. The dose of SMZ-TMP was changed to 3 tablets thrice daily orally, and at the same time intravenous infusion of ganciclovir 0.3 g twice daily was given. And again, her blood potassium increased and blood pH decreased. Sodium bicarbonate 1 g thrice daily orally was given to correct the acidosis. After adding SMZ-TMP for 2 days, SMZ-TMP dosage was reduced to 2 tablets once daily orally again. Seven days later, the patient′s vital signs were stable, her mediastinal emphysema was significantly improved, her blood potassium was 4.7 mmol/L, and blood pH was 7.4.

    Tenofovir is a new class of nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor with effective for treating HIV-infection and chronic hepatitis B. The potential renal toxicity of tenofovir is related to renal excretion. Renal histopathology revealed tubular injury. The main clinical manifestations of renal damage are decreased phosphorus and increased serum creatinine, and Fanconi syndrome, interstitial nephritis and acute renal failure may also develop. The bone toxicity of tenofovir is secondary to renal toxicity. The clinical manifestations include muscle weakness, bone pain and bone fracture. Tenofovir caused kidney-bone damage are associated with underlying diseases, gene polymorphism, plasma drug concentration and drug interactions. Patients taking tenofovir should be regularly monitored for renal function and electrolyte. The hypophosphatemia were treated with phosphate supplementation. The drug dosage should be adjusted when creatinine clearance rate is <50 ml/min. Renal function was improved markedly after tenofovir withdrawal in some patients, but part of patients progressed to chronic kidney disease.

    Objective: To study on relationship between sulphonylureasinduced hypoglycemia and CYP2C9 genotype in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: The outpatients with type 2 diabetes receiving sulphonylureas treatment were enrolled in a study from November 2006 to May 2007. The patients’blood glucose levels and CYP2C9 genotype were measured. The relationship between hypoglycemia and CYP2C9 genotype was analyzed. Results: Of 146 patients with type 2 diabetes, 43 were males, 103 were females, and their ages were 23~79 years\[average age (62.5±12.4) years\]. All patients received sulphonylureas. The specific drugs and dosages were as follows: glipizide 5~10 mg/d, gliclazide 80~160 mg/d, sustainedrelease gliclazide 30~60 mg/d, glimepiride 0.5~2 mg/d, and glibenclamide 5~10 mg/d. Seventyfour cases of 146 patients developed hypoglycemia. Of the 74 cases, 19 were sulphonylureasinducedhypoglycemia and 55 were other factorinduced hypoglycemia (as a consequence of delayed meal, less intake of food, excessive exercises, and so on).Of the 146 patients, 13(8.9%) were CYP2C9*1/*3 genotype, and 7 of the 13 cases were in the hypoglycemia group, 6 were in the nonhypoglycemia group. Of 19 cases of sulphonylureasinduced hypoglycemia, 6 were CYP2C9*1/*3 genotype. Of 55 cases of other factorinduced hypoglycemia, 1 was CYP2C9*1/*3 genotype. There was a statistical difference in CYP2C9 genotype between the sulphonylureasinduced hypoglycemia group and the other factorinduced hypoglycemia group or the nonhypoglycemia group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Sulphonylureasinduced hypoglycemia occurring in patients with type 2 diabetes might link to CYP2C9 gene mutation (CYP2C9*1/*3).

    Objective: To investigate the clinical features and causes of liver damage related to Polygonum multiflorum and its preparations in order to provide the preventive measures. Methods:The Chinese Journal Fulltext Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and Chinese Scientific and Technical Periodicals Database were searched, and the case reports of Polygonum multiflorum and its preparationrelated liver damage published in domestic literature from 1996 to 2009 were collected. The baseline characteristics of the patients, the situation of drug use, the clinical features, prognosis, and outcome of the liver damage were analysed. Results:A total of 35 patients had liver damage related to Polygonum multiflorum and its preparations. They comprised 20 men and 15 women with average age of (362 ±13.7) years. Of them, 14 received Chinese patent medicine alone, 18 received herbal pieces alone, and 3 received both Chinese patent medicine and herbal pieces. Among the patients receiving herbal pieces, 6 received raw herbal pieces, 2 received processed herbal pieces, and the others were not stated. Of the 35 patients, 18 experienced liver damage again after drug readministration, 3 might have a familial tendency to develop this disorder. The time to liver damage onset after drug administration was as follows: the shortest was 3~6 days, the longest was > 3 months, and the most was 1~4 weeks. The main clinical presentations were jaundice and abnormal liver function. The case reports of having records of liver function tests were as follows: the ALT levels in 31 patients were 102~4 584 U/L, the average level was 1 153.1 U/L; the AST levels in 25 patients were 61.5~1 937 U/L, the average level was 657.4 U/L; the average TBil levels in 29 patients were 134.9 μmol/L; the average DBil levels in 23 patients were 97.9 μmol/L. The patients with mild symptoms spontaneously recovered after drug discontinuation. Most patients were cured after receiving liverprotective treatment. Of the 35 patients, 2 improved and 33 were cured. Conclusion:Both raw and processed Polygonum multiflorum and its preparations may induce liver damage. The patients’previous history and family history of Polygonum multiflorum use should be reviewed before drug administration, the correct dose should be chosen, and the patients’liver function should be monitored during polygonum multiflorum use.

    A 52-year-old female patient with hypertension and diabetes mellitus had mild and moderate arterial lesions of bilateral lower extremities. The computed tomographic angiography (CTA) was performed to clarify the degree of vascular stenosis. Before examination, this patient′s blood pressure was 135/73 mmHg. She was given intraarterial iopamidol [37 g(I) /100 ml] 65 ml. About one hour after the intraarterial injection, she experienced dizziness, nausea, vomiting and fatigue, her blood pressure increased to 183/93 mmHg. After taking antihypertensive drugs for about one hour, those symptoms relieved and blood pressure was 150/90 mmHg. At about 5.5 hours, the above clinical symptoms reappeared and blood pressure rose to 260/120 mmHg. Urapidil 100 mg was administered through continuous intravenous pump and the pump speed was 3.0-6.0 mg/h. After 3.5 hours of treatment, the blood pressure decreased to 160/80 mmHg and the clinical symptoms of dizziness, nausea and vomiting disappeared. Therefore urapidil was stopped and captopril 12.5 mg was temporarily orally administered. Though the constant adjustment of antihypertensive therapy, the patient′s blood pressure was stable at 140-150/70-80 mmHg.

    A 56-year-old male patient with recurrent renal cell carcinoma and splenic metastasis received oral sunitinib 50-mg/d (4 weeks of medication and 2 weeks of withdrawal were defined as 1 cycle; the dosage was reduced to 25-mg/d after 2 cycles). And intravenous infusion of pembrolizumab 100-mg once every 3 weeks was added because of his illness. After 3 cycles of sunitinib and 5 cycles of pembrolizumab treatments, the patient developed muscle and joint pain, joint swelling, movement disorder, abnormal limb sensation and gradually developed symptoms such as difficulty in defecation, choking of drinking water, dysphagia, and dyspnea. The patient was diagnosed as Guillain-Barre syndrome after neurologist consultation, which might be related to the combination use of sunitinib and pembrolizumab. The above 2 drugs were stopped and dexamethasone and human immunoglobulin (pH4) for intravenous injection were given. Three days later, the patient could turn over on his own; 5 days later, his symptoms of dysphagia, dyspnea, and muscle and joint pain were relieved; 10 days later, he could stand beside the bed; one and a half month later, he could walk independently.

Methods Randomized controlled trials of VEGFR-TKI in the treatment of tumors were collected by searching relevant databases at home and abroad (up to March 2, 2019). The patients who were treated with a VEGFR-TKI were enrolled into the trial group, and those who received placebo or another VEGFR-TKI were enrolled into the control group. The outcomes included the incidence of serious gastrointestinal events. The Jadad scoring method was used to assess the quality of included studies. The Review Manager 5.3-software was used for direct meta-analysis on the risk of severe gastrointestinal events. Stata 13.0-software and linear mixed model based on frequency framework were used for network meta-analysis on severe gastrointestinal events at the highest risk. The results were expressed by relative risk (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). Results A total of 38-studies were included in the analysis, all of which were high-quality studies (Jadad score 4-7), comprising a total of 15-217 patients (9-130 in the trial group and 6-087 in the control group). The results of direct meta-analysis showed that the risks of severe diarrhea, severe anorexia, and severe nausea in the trial group were higher than those in the control group respectively, and the differences were statistically significant [6.8% (602/8-894) vs. 0.7% (49/6-584), RR=6.62 (95%CI: 5.00-8.76), P<0.001; 2.5% (201/7-937) vs. 0.7% (41/5-831), RR=2.14 (95%CI: 1.40-3.25), P<0.001; 1.5% (92/6-343) vs. 0.4% (21/4-870), RR=1.95 (95%CI: 1.23-3.12), P=0.005]; the risk of severe diarrhea was the highest [6.8% (602/8-894)]. There was no significant difference in the risk of severe vomiting and severe abdominal pain compared with the control group [1.4% (79/5-788) vs. 0.7% (32/4-428), RR=1.49 (95%CI: 0.90-2.47), P=0.120; 1.7% (82/4-766) vs. 1.1% (40/3-628), RR=1.35 (95%CI: 0.84-2.16), P=0.210]. The results of network meta-analysis on risk of severe diarrhea events showed that the relative risks of severe diarrhea caused by varieties of VEGFR-TKI were axitinib>anlotinib>cabozantinib≈vandetanib≈sunitinib≈lenvatinib≈sorafenib≈pazopanib>regorafenib>fruquintinib>apatinib in the order. Conclusion The application of VEGFR-TKIs, especially axitinib, can increase the risk of severe diarrhea in patients with tumors, which deserves clinical attention and vigilance.

    A 68-year-old female patient with invasive urothelial carcinoma received immune treatments with disitamab vedotin 120-mg and toripalimab 240-mg intravenously on the first day, and 14 days was a cycle. Nineteen days after the first medication, the patient complained of lower back muscle soreness. Laboratory tests showed creatine kinase (CK) 1-079-U/L and CK-MB 33-U/L. The 2nd cycle of immunotherapy was suspended and prednisone 20-mg orally once daily was given. Five days later, the patient felt chest tightness, and laboratory tests showed CK 3-366-U/L, CK-MB 91-U/L, lactic dehydrogenase 518-U/L, myoglobin 1-282-μg/L, high-sensitivity troponin T 0.068-μg/L, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide 148-ng/L. Myocarditis caused by the combination of disitamab vedotin and toripalimab was considered, referring to the cardiac color Doppler ultrasound examination. Prednisone was switched to IV infusion of methylprednisolone 160-mg once daily. The above laboratory test indicators gradually decreased, but the electrocardiogram showed ectopic heart rhythm. Amiodarone was added. After 11 days of methylprednisolone treatment by IV infusion, methylprednisolone 20-mg orally once daily was given, which was gradually reduced and discontinued finally. Four days later, the patient′s laboratory indicators and electrocardiogram showed no abnormalities in the re-examination.

    A 6-year-old boy received VDLD chemotherapy regimen (oral dexamethasone 0.75-mg once daily on days 1-7; intravenous injection of vincristine 1.45-mg on the 7th, 15th, 21th, and 29th day; intravenous infusion of daunorubicin 29-mg on the 8th and 15th day; intramuscular injection of L-asparaginase 4-850 U on the 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, 20th, 23rd, 26th, and 29th day) for acute B lymphoblastic leukemia. On the 7th day, vincristine was injected intravenously after oral administration of dexamethasone. About 7 hours later, the child developed distending pain in both eyes, blurred vision, headache, and vomi- ting. The measurement of binocular intraocular pressure showed 62-mmHg in the left eye and 61-mmHg in the right eye. It was diagnosed as acute secondary glaucoma in both eyes, which was considered to be related to dexamethasone and vincristine. Above-mentioned chemotherapy regimen was stopped and the treatment of reduction of intraocular pressure and conventional therapy for glaucoma were given. One week later, the child′s intraocular pressure returned to normal. Then chemotherapy regimen was changed and his symptoms of glaucomadid did not recur.

    Objective: To observe the adverse reactions of etanercept in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods:A randomized, doubleblind, placebocontrolled parallel study was conducted. From April 2005 to January 2006, 52 patients with active ankylosing spondylitis were enrolled in the study, and randomly divided into the etanercept and placebo groups (26 patients in each group). The patients' average age in the etanercept group was (27.7±8.5) years, and in the placebo group was (29.7±8.1) years. The trial duration was 12 weeks. The first 6 weeks were a doubleblind phase and the second 6 weeks were an openlabel phase. During the doubleblind phase, the patients in the etanercept group received etanercept subcutaneously in a dose of 25 mg twice a week for 6 weeks and the patients in the placebo group received inactive substance subcutaneously in a dose of 25 mg twice a week for 6 weeks. During the openlabel phase, all the patients in both groups received etanercept subcutaneously in a dose of 25 mg twice a week for 6 weeks. Routine blood test was performed at week 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 12, meanwhile the dermal lesion at the site of injections, the skin and its appendages reactions, infections, hematological disorders, liver enzyme levels, autoantibody response, and other adverse reactions were observed and analysed. Results: The incidence of adverse reactions in the etanercept and placebo groups was 23% and 38%, respectively; the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05); no serious adverse reaction occurred. During the doubleblind phase, 26.9% of the patients in the etanercept group developed local dermal lesions characterized by redness and swelling, induration, and pruritus at the site of injections, and no case of such local dermal lesions was found in the placebo group; the difference between both groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). During the trial period, the incidence of the reactions at the site of injections was 34.6%. During the doubleblind phase, 6 patients (23.1%) in the etanercept group developed neutrocytopenia, but neutrocytopenia was not found in the placebo group; the difference between both groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The difference in the other adverse reactions including upper respiratory tract infections (5 vs 7), skin reactions (6 vs 3), and increased liver enzyme levels (5 vs 8) between the etanercept and placebo groups was not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Etanercept is a relatively safe agent in treatment of ankylosing spondylitis.

    Objective: To observe the myopathy following telbivudine alone and telbivudine plus adefovir or interferon administration and analyze its relative factors. Methods: Five patients with myopathy related to telbivudine alone and telbivudine plus adefovir or interferon in our hospital from January 2007 to January 2008 were investigated. The dosage and administration of the drugs, the clinical manifestation of myopathy, and the results of laboratory testing were analyzed. Results: The 5 patients were men aged 25~45 years. One patient received telbivudine 600 mg once daily for 1 month. One patient received telbivudine 600 mg twice daily for 2 months, and subsequent regimen was changed to telbivudine 600 mg once daily plus adefovir 10 mg once daily for 5 months. Three patients received telbivudine 600 mg once daily plus intramuscular injection of interferon 3×106 U every other day for 3~9 months, respectively. All five patients developed myalgia and generalized hypodynamia, and cardiac muscle was involved in one patient, and three patients presented with neurological disorders. Of 5 patients, 4 patients' CK levels were 311~900 U/L. Conclusion: Telbivudine alone and telbivudine plus adefovir or interferon might induce myopathy. And the dosage of telbivudine might be associated with the severity of myopathy in certain degrees.

    ObjectiveTo understand the current situation of poisoning caused by poisonous animals, poisonous plants, and poisonous mushrooms in our country in order to understand the direction of work for controlling poisoning caused by poisonous organisms and to provide scientific basis for the research on key technique for controlling poisoning.MethodsChina Hospital Knowledge Database and Wanfang Database were searched, and published literature regarding poisoning cases or events caused by poisonous animals, poisonous plants, and poisonous mushrooms in 1994-2011 was collected. The data was analyzed using retrospective descriptive epidemiological methods.ResultsThree thousand four hundred and sixty-three articles consistent with the criteria were collected and a total of 94 700 poisonous patients were reported, of which 46 110 were produced by poisonous animals, 37 172 produced by poisonous plants, and 11 418 produced by poisonous mushrooms. Poisoning mainly occurred in the south area which was abundant in various species and the case distribution was nearly consistent with that of the species. The spectrum of poison were relatively concentrated in several families, and in the number of poisoning cases caused by the top 5 poison categories, poisonous animals and poisonous plants accounted for 78.77%(36 321/46 110) and 84.03%(31 234/37 172) of total number of poisoning cases caused by the 2 kinds of poisonous organisms, respectively. The main categories of poisonous animals causing poisoning were toxic snakes, fish gall bladder, and puffer fish and main plants; the main categories of poisonous plants causing poisoning were Leguminosae and Ranunculaceae. Most poisonous mushrooms poisoning was due to unknown species which accounted for 77.09% (8802/11 418), and Amanitaceae and Boletaceae were the most common mushrooms in known poisonous mushroom poisoning. The main causes of poisoning were accidents (50.24%, 41 291/82 185) and mistaken ingestion (42.19%, 34 670/82 185) and the main route of intoxication was oral ingestion (70.34%, 66 438/94 458). The case fatality rates due to poisonous animals, poisonous plants, and poisonous mushrooms were 252%(1008/39 951), 1.66% (547/33 001), and 12.39%(1248/10 076), respectively.ConclusionsPoisoning of poisonous plants, poisonous animals, and poisonous mushrooms could cause serious damage and was characterized by higher fatality rate, significant regionalism, and relatively concentrated poisonous spectrum. Therefore, from now on, the work for controlling poisoning caused by poisonous plants, poisonous animals and poisonous mushrooms should be enhanced; surveillance system should be established; studies on the key technique for controlling poisoning should be conducted; propaganda and education on the identification, hazards, prevention of poisons should be strengthened in order to minimize the incidence of poisoning.

    Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (Pas) in the plants is one of the main causes of hepatic veno-occlusive disease occurring.Cases of hepatic veno-occlusive disease or liver damage associated with Pas-containing plants or medicinal herbs have been reported in America, England, China, and many other countries. There are more than six thousands kinds of the plants that contain Pas in the whole world. The Pas are primarily found in members of four plant families, I.e. (1) Compositae family: mainly in the genera Senecio, Ligularia, Eupatorium, Gynura, and Petasites; (2) Boraginaceae family: all plants of this family; (3) Leguminosae family: mainly in the genus Crotalaria; (4) Orchidaceae family: in the genus Liparis. There are thirty-eight kinds of Pas-containing medicinal herbs in China, and twelve of them are common in clinical practice as follows: Senecio scanden, Senecio campestri, Gynura segetum, Tussilago farfara, Herba Eupatorii, Herba lycopi, Radix Asters, Lithospermum, Heliotropium, Crotalaria sessiliflora, Crotalaria pallide, Liparis. The Pas have minimal toxicity in their original form, but their metabolites have hepatoxicity. In most instances of Pas liver toxicity in adults, the daily intake was several milligrams or hundreds of milligrams. However, it has been suggested by the WHO that the lowest intake of Pas that cause veno-occlusive disease in a human is just 0.015 mg/(kg·d). For a 70 kg adult, that would correspond to 1 mg total per day. The clinical manifestations of hepatic veno-occlusive disease are mainly refractory ascites, jaundice, hepatomegalia. There are no specific therapy for hepatic veno-occlusive disease, except symptomatic therapy and supportive therapy. Recently, the glucocorticosteroid or heparin therapy for Pas intoxication is reported, but their effect and safety are still under research. The authors consider that the education and monitoring for Pas-containing plants intoxication should be strengthened in our country.

    Paradoxical reactions related to biological agents refers to the contradictory phenomenon that occurs during the treatment of biological agents, which is contrary to the treatment purpose or exacerbates the condition of the treated disease. The first biological agent reported to trigger paradoxical reactions is TNF-α inhibitors, which appeared firstly in the treatment of patients with rheumatic diseases, followed by psoriasis and inflammatory bowel diseases. Other types of biological agents such as interleukin (IL) 12/23 inhibitor ustekinumab and IL-17 inhibitors secukinumab and ixekizumab can also cause paradoxical reactions. The mechanism of paradoxical reactions related to biological agents in the treatment of psoriasis, the occurrence and clinical manifestations of common paradoxical reactions (paradoxical psoriasis, arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, hidradenitis suppurativa, etc.), and the management principles of paradoxical reactions related to biological agents in the treatment of psoriasis are reviewed in this article.

    Objective To evaluate the preventive effect of angiotesion converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI)/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) and beta-blockers against trastuzumab-related cardiotoxicity in patients with breast cancer. Methods Databases of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science and Clinical Trials.gov were searched (up to February 28, 2022) and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on ACEI/ARB or beta-blockers in preventing trastuzumab-related cardiotoxicity in female breast cancer patients, who were treated with trastuzumab containing regimens and without underlying cardiac diseases, were collected. Patients in the trial group were given intervention measures of ACEI, ARB, or beta-blockers while those in the control group were given placebo or no intervention. The primary outcome indicator was the change of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from baseline, and the secondary outcome indicators were the incidence of cardiotoxic events, the incidence of trastuzumab discontinuation, and the change of blood pressure. Random effects model in Revman 5.4 was used for meta-analysis, the effect sizes of enumeration data were the relative risk (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI), and those of measurement data were the mean difference (MD) and its 95%CI. Results A total of 4 RCTs and 844 patients were included in the analysis, including 520 patients in the trial group and 324 patients in the control group. The results of the meta-analysis showed that patients in the trial group treated with ACEI/ARB had a lower LVEF reduction (MD=1.37%, 95%CI: 0.49%-2.25%, P=0.002) and higher mean value of systolic blood pressure decrease (MD=-5.99-mmHg, 95%CI: -9.15--2.83-mmHg, P<0.001) than those in the control group; patients in the trial group treated with beta-blockers had a lower risk of trastuzumab discontinuation due to cardiotoxicity than those in the control group [14.4% (27/187) vs. 26.6% (49/184), RR=0.55, 95%CI: 0.36-0.84, P=0.006]; other outcome indicators including the risk of cardiotoxic events in the patients of the trial group treated with ACEI/ARB or beta-blockers were not significantly different from those in the control group (all P>0.05). Conclusion ACEI/ARB may have a certain preventive effect on trastuzumab-related LVEF reduction in breast cancer patients, but ACEI/ARB and beta-blockers could not reduce the risk of trastuzumab-related cardiotoxic events.

    A 66-year-old male patient with malignant melanoma received combined treatments with apatinib (oral 250 mg once daily),temozolomide (oral 500-mg on day 1 and 400-mg/d on days 2-4),toripalimab(240 mg intravenous infusion on days 1 and 15). After 5 cycles (28 days as a cycle), the patient developed multiple rashes, which were not alleviated after reducing the dose of apatinib to 250-mg orally once every 3 days in the 6th treatment cycle. Laboratory tests showed that serum albumin was 28.5-g/L, total serum protein was 55.5-g/L, eosinophil percentage was 0.096, and venous potassium was 3.17-mmol/L. Erythroderma caused by combination of apatinib and toripalimab was considered, and the 2 drugs were stopped. The patient received the treatments of methylprednisolone,loratadine,diphenhydramine,tria- mcinolone acetonide and econazole nitrate cream and mupirocin ointment (external coating), and skin care. At the same time, symptomatic treatments such as protein supplement, diuresis, potassium supplement, and stomach protection were given. After 10 days of treatments, the rash subsided, and desquamation and itching were improved.

    Objective To explore the influencing factors of coagulation disorders caused by cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium in patients with chronic renal insufficiency. Methods The medical records of adult patients with chronic renal insufficiency, who were hospitalized and treated with cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium in the Department of Nephrology of the Affiliated Qingyuan Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University, Qingyuan People′s Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022, were collected. Patients who developed coagulation disorders related to cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium were imputed as having an end-point event, and the occurrence of end-point events in these patients was analyzed descriptively. According to whether an end-point event occurred, patients were divided into end-point event group and non-end point event group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed on the risk of end-point events. Results A total of 121 patients with renal insufficiency were included in the analysis, including 76 males (62.8%) and 45 females (37.2%), aged (66±13) years. Among 121 patients, 39 (32.2%) had end-point events, and 6 (5.0%) had clinical bleeding. The results of univariate analysis showed that the differences in age, renal replacement therapy, and daily and total doses of cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium of patients between 2 groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed using the occurrence of end-point events as dependent variables, and age, renal replacement therapy, and daily and total doses of cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium as independent variables. The results showed that only older age was an independent risk factor for the occurrence of end-point events (odds ratio=1.044, 95% confidence interval: 1.004-1.086, P=0.029). Conclusions Patients with renal insufficiency have a higher risk of coagulation disorders in treatment with cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium, and older age is an independent risk factor. Cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium should be used cautiously in elder patients, and coagulation function monitoring should be strengthened in clinical use.

    Objective To systematically evaluate correlation between the risk of malignancy and dapagliflozin in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods The databases such as PubMed, the Cochrane Library, American Clinical Trial Registry, Embase, JAMA, Wiley-Blackwell, Springer Link, Elsevier, Ovid, Taylor & Francis Online, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP (up to March 2021) were searched. The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on dapagliflozin with outcome indicators including malignancy occurrence were collected. Data extraction and quality analysis were performed for the enrolled literature, and meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3-software. Results A total of 22-studies were enrolled in the analysis, all of which were multicenter RCTs, and the quality evaluation results were all grade A. Thirty-one thousand four hundred and fifty-one patients were involved in the 22-studies, of which 16-267 were in the experimental group (dapagliflozin 5 or 10-mg daily) and 15-184 in the control group (placebo or other hypoglycemic drugs). The course of treatment in the 22-studies ranged from 24 weeks to 5.2 years and it was 24 weeks in 15-studies (68.2%). A total of 1-302 patients developed malignancy during the trials, including 661 in the experimental group and 641 in the control group. The results of the meta-analysis showed that, regardless in the overall study of different dapagliflozin doses or in studies of dapagliflozin 5 or 10-mg/d, the differences in the risk of malignancy between the experimental group and the control group were not statistically significant [overall study: 4.2% (661/15-911) vs. 4.1% (648/15-884), RR=1.02, 95%CI: 0.92-1.13, P=0.72; dapagliflozin 5-mg/d: 0.8% (10/1-181) vs. 0.6% (7/1-172), RR=1.35, 95%CI: 0.57-3.17, P=0.49; dapagliflozin 10-mg/d: 4.4% (651/14-730) vs. 4.4% (641/14-712), RR=1.01, 95%CI: 0.91-1.13, P=0.78]; the differences in the risk of breast cancer were not statistically significant [overall study: 0.2% (25/12-216) vs. 0.2% (25/12-215), RR=1.00, 95%CI: 0.59-1.69, P=1.00; dapagliflozin 5-mg/d: 0.6% (2/348) vs. 0 (0/347), RR=3.00, 95%CI: 0.31-28.65, P=0.34; dapagliflozin 10-mg/d: 0.2% (23/11-868) vs. 0.2% (25/11-868), RR=0.93, 95%CI: 0.54-1.59, P=0.78]; the differences in the risk of bladder cancer were not significantly significant [overall study: 0.1% (16/12-021) vs. 0.2% (28/12-019), RR=0.59, 95%CI: 0.33-1.07), P=0.08; dapagliflozin 5-mg/d: 0.7% (1/137) vs. 0 (0/137), RR=3.00, 95%CI: 0.12-73.00, P=0.50; dapagliflozin 10-mg/d: 0.1% (15/11-884) vs. 0.2 % (28/11-882), RR=0.55, 95%CI: 0.30-1.02, P=0.06]. Conclusion Dapagliflozin may not increase the risk of malignancy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but its long-term safety needs further study.

    A 43-year-old female patient received Fuyanshu capsules 1.6 g orally thrice daily for pelvic inflammation. The traditional Chinese medicine decoction was added 1 week later. After 10 days of combination therapy, the patient developed fatigue, which was gradually aggravated, and yellowish skin and sclera appeared. Seven days later,laboratory tests showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT)>1-000-U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >750-U/L, gamma-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT) 148-U/L, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 153-U/L, and total bilirubin (TBil) 56.3-μmol//L. After excluding viral hepatitis, autoimmune liver disease, obstructive jaundice, and other causes, liver injury caused by Fuyanshu capsules combined with traditional Chinese medicine decoction was considered. After Fuyanshu capsules and traditional Chinese medicine decoction were discontinued, reduced glutathione, glycyrrhizic acid preparation, and ursodeoxycholic acid were given. Seven days later, the patient′s symptoms were improved obviously and laboratory tests showed ALT 323-U/L, AST 125-U/L, γ-GT 149-U/L, ALP 109-U/L, and TBil 35.8-μmol/L。Twenty-seven days later, the patient′s symptoms disappeared and laboratory tests showed ALT 62-U/L, AST 42-U/L, γ-GT 67-U/L, ALP 67-U/L, and TBil 18.7-μmol/L. There are 7 same components in Fuyanshu capsule and traditional Chinese medicine decoction. It was considered that the liver injury was related to the increase of hepatotoxicity caused by the combination of the two drugs.

    ObjectiveTo investigate the method of essential medicines selection in China. The angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB) drugs were taken as templet.MethodsARB drugs recommended by "Guidelines for the prevention and control of hypertension in China 2010" including losartan, valsartan, irbesartan, telmisartan, candesartan and olmesartan were included as the intended evaluating drugs. Each drug′s information (I), safety (S), administration restriction and frequency of drug administration (af), and efficacy (E) scores were evaluated respectively and were put together as ISafE. The weight and evaluation of every index were confirmed by the suggestions of specialists in clinical medicine, pharmacy, and epidemiology in China. The weight of safety and efficacy were 40%, respectively, and the information and administration restriction and frequency of drug administration were 10%, respectively. The score of each drug′s ISafE was calculated. The ratio of each drug′s daily medication costs to score of ISafE was the essential medicine cost index (EMCI).The EMCI of each drug was ranked according to the value. The  lower the drug′s EMCI value, the drug would be more likely to be recommended.Results The scores of information in the 6 ARB drugs from high to low in turn were losartan,valsartan, telmisartan, irbesartan, candesartan, and olmesartan. The scores of efficacy in the 6 ARB drugs from high to low in turn were olmesartan, telmisartan, valsartan, irbesartan, candesartan, and losartan. The scores of safety in the 6 ARB drugs from high to low in turn were telmisartan, olmesartan, irbesartan, candesartan, valsartan, and losartan. The 6 ARB drugs had the same scores in af value. The scores of ISafE in the 6 ARB drugs from high to low in turn were telmisartan, olmesartan, irbesartan, valsartan, losartan, and candesartan. The EMCI value of valsartan was the lowest among the domestic ARB drugs. The above-mentioned result was consistent with that of valsartan, which was the only ARB drug enrolled into the Chinese essential medicine list. The EMCI value of telmisartan was the lowest among the joint-stock ARB drugs.ConclusionISafE method, which has been optimized and localized, has the characteristics of objective information and high maneuverability and could provide reference for improvement of the selection of essential drugs in China.

    ObjectiveTo compare and analyze the clinical characteristics of elderly and non-elderly patients with drug-induced liver injury (DILI).MethodsThe clinical characteristics of elderly (≥60 years old) and non-elderly (<60 years old) patients with DILI who sought medical advice in section for outpatients or hospitalized in Department of Infectious Diseases, Peking University First Hospital from January 1997 to September 2015 were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThe elderly group comprised 193 patients [female:121(62.7%)] with average age of (69±7)years. The non-elderly group comprised 286 patients [female: 192(67.1%)] with average age of (43±12)years. The time from medication to the appearance of liver injury in the elderly group was 14-60 days (the median time 30 days) and the non-elderly group was 10-60 days (the median time was 30 days)(Z=-1.267, P=0.205). There were 132 cases (68.4%) with the symptoms of weakness, 121 cases (62.7%) with yellow urine, 118 cases (61.1%) of jaundice, 33 cases (17.1%) had fever in the elderly group, respectively. There were 189 cases (66.1%) with the symptoms of weakness, 182 cases (63.6%) had yellow urine, 179 cases (62.6%) had jaundice, 46 cases (16.1%) had fever in the elderly group, respectively. There were no significant differences in incidence of the symptoms mentioned above between the two groups (all P>0.05). The differences of peak values of alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and total bilirubin between the two groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The case number of antinuclear antibody-positive in the elderly group were more than those in the non-elderly group[27(9.4%)](P<0.001). There were 221 kinds of suspected drugs which [47(24.4%)] may cause DILI in the elderly group. The top three were traditional Chinese medicine (107, 48.4%),cardiovascular agents (31,14.0%) and antimicrobial agents (18, 8.2%). There were 316 kinds of suspected drugs which might cause DILI in the non-elderly group. The top three were traditional Chinese medicine (154, 48.7%), antimicrobial (50, 15.8%), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (23, 7.3%). The number of  cases with DILI types of hepatocellular, cholestatic, and mixed in the elderly group and the non-elderly group were 157(81.4%), 13(6.7%), 23(11.9%) and 238(83.2%), 25(8.7%), 23 (8.1%), respectively. The differences were not statistically significant. The cases number of DILI classification of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in the elderly group and the non-elderly group were 56(29.0%), 31(16.1%), 99(51.3%), 5(2.6%), 2(1.0%) and 65(22.7%), 37(12.9%), 174(60.9%), 4(1.4%), 6(2.1%), respectively. The differences were not statistically significant. The suspicious drugs were withdrawn and all the patients with DILI received the anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotection therapy after the appearance of clinical symptom. There were 14 cases in the elderly group and 34 cases in the non-elderly group received steroid therapy additionally. The course of disease in the elderly group were 27-78 days, the median time was 47 days. The course of disease in the non-elderly group were 30-87 days, the media time was 54 days (P=0.07). Of 193 patients in the elderly group, 176 cases (91.2%) were cured and improved, 14 cases (7.2%) developed chronic DILI, and 3 cases (1.6%) died. Of 286 patients in the non-elderly group, 254 cases (88.8%) were cured and improved, 24 cases (8.4%) developed chronic DILI, 7 cases (2.4%) died, and 1 case received liver transplantation. The difference of prognosis between the two groups were not statistically significant (P=0.856).ConclusionsThe traditional Chinese medicines and cardiovascular agents are the main drugs which due to DILI in elderly patients, the traditional Chinese medicines and antimicrobial are main drugs which due to DILI in non-elderly patients. In addition to the cases of accompanying with autoimmune phenomena in the elderly group are more than those in the non-elderly group, the clinical manifestations, treatment, and prognosis are similar in the elderly and non-elderly patients.

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of rituximab-related progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods The relevant domestic and international databases (as of November 2021) were searched and case reports on PML in RA patients treated with rituximab were collected. Clinical data such as gender, age, underlying disease, use of rituximab, combination drugs, time to onset of PML, clinical manifestations, results of ancillary examinations(imaging, cerebrospinal fluid), intervention and prognosis were extracted and analyzed descriptively. Results A total of 10 patients were enrolled in the study, including 1 male and 9 females, aged from 51 to 83 years with an average of 66 years. All of the patients were suffering from moderate to severe RA, 9 of which had a disease duration of ≥3 years and 1 had no disease duration record. The usage and dosage of rituximab in the 10 patients were in accordance with the instructions, and all the patients received combined medication with conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs or glucocorticoids. The time from the last dose of rituximab to the onset of PML was recorded in 9 patients, which were 2-8, 16, and 18 months in 7, 1, and 1 patient respectively, with a median time of 6 months. Clinical symptoms were recorded in 6 patients, mainly including ataxia, speech disorders, cognitive impairment, and focal sensory deficits, etc. Six patients had head magnetic resonance imaging, and all of the results were consistent with the imaging changes of PML. Four patients had cerebrospinal fluid anti-John Cunningham virus test, which were positive for viral DNA in 3 patients and negative in 1 patient (the patient was diagnosed with PML by brain tissue biopsy). After the diagnosis of PML, 1 patient received no intervention, 3 had no record of intervention measures, 5 were treated with mefloquine and mirtazapine alone or in combination (2 of which were combined with plasma exchange and 1 with glucocorticoids), and 1 was treated with mirtazapine and nitrofurantoin in combination. Seven patients died due to ineffective treatment, 2 survived but had severe neurological sequelae, and the final outcome of 1 patient was not reported. Conclusions Rituximab-related PML mostly occurs 2 to 8 months after the last application of the drug, which has similar clinical manifestations and imaging to that due to other causes and usually aggravate progressively with a high mortality rate. The survivors may have severe neurological sequelae.

    Objective: To observe the efficacy and adverse reactions of Shenqifuzheng injection used in patients with breast cancer while receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: Clinical deta of 126 patients with local advanced breast cancer while receiving neoadjuvant chemtherapy was collected from January, 2000 to December, 2005. The 126 patients were divided randomizely into two groups: control group (61 cases) and study group (65 cases). The patients in the control group were administered with CEF regimen (CTX 500 mg/m2, d1, 8; EPI 50 mg/m2, d1, 8; 5-Fu 500 mg/m2, d1, 8). The patients in the study group were treated with CEF regimen plus Shenqifuzheng injection (intravenous infusion of 250 ml, once daily). The cycle of chemotherapy was 28 d, and total two cycles were performed for the two groups. The efficacy, the changes of T lymphocyte and NK cells, and the adverse reactions to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the two groups were observed before and after the treatment. Results: The overall …更多effective rate of the study group and control group were 69.2% (45/65) and 49.2% (30/61) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups (P<0.05). The T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells in the study group were elevated in varying degree in comparison with those in the control group, and the differences were significant (P<0.05). The common adverse reactions of the two groups were myelosuppression and gastrointestinal reactions, but the severity of the reactions of the study group were relative mild than that of the control group. Conclusion: Shenqifuzheng injection can elevate immune function of patients with advanced breast cancer while receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. It can also enhance the efficacy and decrease the adverse reactions to neoadjuvant chemotherapy

    ObjectiveTo explore the clinical characteristics and the warning signals of Danshen lyophilized powder injection (DLPI).MethodsThe adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports of DLPI from the ADR Spontaneous Reporting Database of Shandong Province from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2015 were collected. The clinical characteristics of ADR were analzed by descriptive statistical method. The conceptual data and the data for each year from 2005 to 2015 were analyzed to find out the warning signals of ADR induced by DLPI by the methods of proportional reporting ratio (PRR), reporting odds ratio (ROR), and bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN).ResultsA total of 887 reports and 887 patients which comprised 460 males and 427 females with the average age of (57.7±16.6) years (3 d to 91 years) were enrolled into the analysis. The patients  whose age ≥45 years accounted for 79.59% (706/887). There were 1 281 times of ADR in 887 patients which involved mainly in skin and cardio-cerebrovascular system. Top ten in turn were erythra, pruritus, dyspnea, shiver, nausea, headache, fever, palpitation, dizziness, and injection site reactions, totally 1 152 times of ADR which accounted for 65.89% (1 152/1 281). The patients stopped to use DLPI when the ADR appeared. Of the 887 patients, 557 cases were recovered and 330 had improvement after receiving the symptomatic treatments. The results of analysis on conceptual data and the data for each year by methods of PRR, TOR, and BCPNN showed that erythra (PRR method: conceptual data, from 2008 to 2015; ROR method: conceptual data, from 2008 to 2014; BCPNN method: conceptual data), pruritus (PRR method: conceptual data, 2012, 2013, 2015; ROR method: conceptual data, 2012, 2013), dyspnea (PRR method: conceptual data, from 2008 to 2014; ROR method: conceptual data, from 2008 to 2014; BCPNN method: conceptual data, 2014), shiver (PRR method: conceptual data, from 2007 to 2009; ROR method: conceptual data, from 2011 to 2013; BCPNN method:conceptual data, 2012 and 2013) could be  warning signals of ADR induced by DLPI.ConclusionsADRs due to DLPI involve mainly skin and cardio-cerebrovascular system. Erythra, pruritus, dyspnea, and shiver can be the warning signals of ADR induced by DLPI.

    Peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) induced by chemotherapy is the common dose-limiting adverse reactions of platinum, taxol and vinblastine. The mechanisms of CIPN due to platinum, taxol and vinblastine may be related to injury of dorsal root ganglion, inhibition of tubulin depolymerization and changing axonal transport, inhibition of association of tubulin from protein subunit, deletion of tubulin and dysfunction of axonal transport, respectively. Pain, numbness, acanthesthesia, burning sensation, sensory deprivation, myodynamia weakness or paralysation, constipation, sexual dysfunction, change of vision, and anaudia are the main clinical manifestations of CIPN. Usually, the amplitude and the conduction velocity of sensory nerve action potential are decreased, while the amplitude and the conduction velocity of motor nerve are normal or slightly changed before the clinical symptoms of CIPN appearance. The development of CIPN are related with sex (female), age (agedness), habits and customs (smoking history), tumor type (oophoroma),  primary disease and combination with neurotoxic drug. The more the chemotherapeutics accumulated dose is, the higher the incidence of CIPN. The shorter the administration interval of chemotherapy is, the higher the incidence of CIPN. There is no effective drug for prevention of CIPN at present. Duloxetine is the the only one drug recommended by American Society of Clinical Oncology for treatment of CIPN.

    Objective: To analyse risk factors for severe drug eruption induced by carbamazepine in clinical practice in order to decrease its development. Methods: The clinical data of 55 inpatients with carbamazepineinduced drug eruption were collected from 1997 to 2007. Of the 55 patients, 28 were nonsevere eruption and 27 were severe eruption. The relationship between the severe eruption and the age, sex, allergic history, epilepsy, initial dosage of carbamazepine, and latent of eruption was analyzed. Other adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results: The relationship between the severity of drug eruption and the age, sex, allergic history, and epilepsy was not found (P>0.05). It was linked to initial dose of carbamazepine and longer latent period of eruption. And there were differences in the initial dosage of carbamazepine and the latent period of eruption between the severe eruption group and the nonsevere eruption group. The initial dosage of carbamazepine was (155.74±81.130) mg/d and (124.11±44.867) mg/d(P<005), respectively. The latent period of eruption was (11.81±7.45) days and (6.14±5.30) days (P<0.01). The severity of liver damage in patients with severe eruption is greater than that in patient with nonsevere eruption (P <0.01). The condition of patients with a fever occurring in the early stage was severe. Conclusion: The high initial dose of carbamazepine and long latent period of eruption may increase the drug eruption intensity.

    A variety of antiepileptic drugs are associated with hyponatremia, among which carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, and eslicarbazepine are the most common, and other antiepileptic drugs involved include valproic acid, levetiracetam, lamotrigine, and lacosamide. Most patients with antiepileptic drug- related hyponatremia have mild symptoms, but severe acute or chronic persistent hyponatremia can lead to epilepsy, coma, and even death. The mechanism of hyponatremia induced by antiepileptic drugs is not fully clear and is currently thought to be likely related to abnormal antidiuretic hormone secretion. The risk factors of antiepileptic drug-related hyponatremia are older age, lower baseline serum sodium level, high drug exposure, and combination of multiple drugs. Attention should be paid to this kind of patients in clinic, and appropriate monitoring, prevention, and treatment should be carried out.

    Objective: To analyze the effects of mannitol on the plasma osmolality and outcome in patients with brain injury. Methods: According to the plasma osmolality measured on admission and within two weeks after admission, the patients were divided into two groups: hyperosmolality group and hyposmolality group. Risk factors and outcome of short-term (30 days)were analyzed between the two groups. Results: Three hundred and six patients with bran injury were administered with mannitol used for dehydration and reduction of intracranial pressure. Of 90 patients with disturbance of plasma osmolality on admission, 72 had hyperosmolality and 18 had mild hyporsmolality. Of 216 patients with normal plasma osmolality on admission, 46 developed hyperosmolality and 6 occured mild hyposmolality within 2 weeks during the treatment of manmitol used for dehydration and reduction of intracranial pressure, and the rest maintained normal plasma osmolality. Single factor analysis showed that moderate or severe brain injury (GCS≤12), diabetes mellitus, nephropathy, and high dose of mannitol were significantly associated with plasma hyperosmolality. Multiple factor analysis showed, that, with the exception of nephropathy, risk of hyperosmolality to patients with moderate and severe brain injury was 2.6 times as high as those with mild brain injury, to diabetic patients was 2.2 times as high as the nondiabetic ones, to patients receiving mannitol > 100 g daily was 1.8 times as high as those receiving mannitol ≤100 g daily and to patients receiving > 1000 g total dose of mannitol was 2.6 times as high as those receiving ≤1000 g total dose of mannitol. The survival rate of 30 days in patients with plasma hyperosmolality (39.0%) was lower than that in patients without plasma hyperosmolatity (68.9%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: High daily dose or cumulative dose of mannitol could induce or aggravate the changes of plasma osmolality, and affect the survival rate of short-term in patients with brain injury.

    With the spread of hemodialysis therapy and the continuous breakthrough of kidney transplantation technology, the survival period of patients with end stage renal disease is prolonged, and malignant tumor has become one of the main causes for hospitalization and death of patients on hemodialysis and undergoing kidney transplantation. Due to the particularity of pharmacokinetics in patients on dialysis and the long term maintenance immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplant patients, many aspects need to be considered and balanced in these patients when they need anti tumor drug treatments. The Japanese Society of Nephrology, Japan Society of Clinical Oncology, Japanese Society of Medical Oncology, and Japanese Society of Nephrology and Pharmacotherapy have jointly formulated Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Kidney Injury During Anticancer Drug Therapy 2022, and systematically answers many clinical questions about anticancer drug therapy in patients on hemodialysis and underwent kidney transplantation in the second chapter. This article interprets this part to provide references for the anti-tumor drug treatments of patients on dialysis and after kidney transplantation in China.

     A 56-year-old female patient received epalrestat 50-mg thrice daily orally because of the diagnosis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. After 3 times of epalrestat treatment that day (about 10-hours after the first medication), the patient developed red papules on the face and patch-like erythema on the head and neck. On day 2 of epalrestat treatment, the rashes were progressively aggravated and the patient was diagnosed with erythema multiforme-type drug eruption. Considering that it might be caused by epalrestat, the drug was replaced by lipoic acid injection and symptomatic treatments with dexamethasone, vitamin C injection, and calcium gluconate injection were given. Three days later, the patient′s allergic symptoms were alleviated. Anti-allergic drugs were phased out gradually while the other drugs were continued. Six days later, the patient had no discomfort and was discharged from the hospital. At 20 days of follow-up, the rashes did not recur.

    Objective To compare the adverse reactions of oxycodone hydrochloride prolonged- release tablets and fentanyl transdermal system in the treatment of moderate and severe cancer pain. Methods The medical records of patients with moderate to severe cancer pain who used oxycodone hydrochloride prolonged-release tablets (oxycodone group) or fentanyl transdermal systems (fentanyl group) for more than 1 week during hospitalization in Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2018 to December 2019 were collected. The occurrence of adverse reactions after analgesic treatments were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 698 patients were enrolled in the analysis, including 535 in the oxycodone group and 163 in the fentanyl group. The incidence of adverse reactions in the oxycodone group was significantly higher than that in the fentanyl group [72.5% (388/535) vs. 51.5% (84/163), χ2=25.139, P<0.001]. The common adverse reactions (with incidence ≥5%) in the oxycodone group were constipation, nausea/vomiting, xerostomia, drowsiness, and dizziness, while those in the fentanyl group were constipation, nausea/vomiting, and dizziness. The incidence of constipation in the oxycodone group was significantly higher than that in the fentanyl group [60.9% (326/535) vs. 40.5% (66/163), χ2=21.209, P<0.001]. The differences in the incidence of other adverse reactions in the 2 groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). All adverse reactions were grade 1 or 2, which were improved after symptomatic treatments. No adverse reactions of grade 3 or more severe occurred.Conclusions Both oxycodone hydrochloride prolonged-release tablets and fentanyl transdermal system are safe during the treatment for moderate to severe cancer pain, with mild adverse reactions, which can be relieved by symptomatic treatments. Oxycodone hydrochloride prolonged-release tablets are more likely to cause constipation than fentanyl transdermal system.

    Objective To explore the value and threshold of steady-state trough plasma concentration (trough concentration) of imatinib mesylate (IM) and its active metabolite N-desmethyl imatinib (NDI) in predicting the risk of moderate to severe adverse reactions in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Methods The subjects were selected from GIST outpatient who received IM treatment and re-visited doctor in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University form July 2020 to March 2021. On the day of re-visiting, the relevant clinical information and occurrence of IM-related adverse reactions within 28 d prior to the trial of selected patients was asked and recorded and blood were collected (22 to 24-hours after the last medication) to determine IM and NDI trough concentration. Twenty-eight days after blood collection, telephone follow-up was conducted to record IM-related adverse reactions occurrence. Blood routine and blood biochemical examination results within 28 days before and after blood collection were collected through the hospital information system. After evaluating causality for adverse reactions and grading their severity, patients without or with grade I adverse reactions were regarded as the no/mild group and those with grade Ⅱ~Ⅴadverse reactions were regarded as the moderate-severe group. The risk factors of moderate-severe adverse reactions were analyzed by comparing the main clinical characteristics of patients in the 2 groups, and the value and threshold of IM and NDI trough concentrations in predicting the risk of moderate-severe adverse reactions were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results A total of 119 patients were recruited in this study and 113 (95.0%) had adverse reactions. There were 65 patients in the no/mild group and 54 in the moderate-severe group. The differences in the gender and dose distribution of patients in the 2 groups were statistically significant (χ2=19.772, P<0.001; χ2=9.817, P=0.020); proportions of females, patients at dose of 300-mg/d, and patients at dose of 600-mg/d in the moderate-severe group were greater than those in the no/mild group. The trough concentration of IM and NDI of patients in the moderate- severe group were significantly higher than those of patients in the no/mild group[1-695 (1-258, 2-261) μg/L vs. 1-360 (938, 1-643) μg/L, P<0.001; 324(223, 379) μg/L vs. 264(217, 338) μg/L, P=0.042]. ROC curve analysis results showed that the breakpoints of IM and NDI trough concentrations for moderate-severe adverse reactions in patients with GIST were 1-539-μg/L (sensitivity 62.3%, specificity 70.3%) and 303-μg/L (sensitivity 56.6%, specificity 68.7%) respectively. The 119 patients were grouped according to the breakpoint concentrations. The incidences of moderate-severe adverse reactions were 63.0% (34/54) and 30.8% (20/65) in patients with IM trough concentration >1-539-μg/L and ≤1-539-μg/L, respectively and 59.6% (31/52) and 34.3% (23/67) in patients with NDI trough concentration >303-μg/L and ≤303-μg/L, respectively. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.001, P=0.006). Conclusions The trough concentrations of IM and NDI are of some value in predicting the risk of moderate-severe adverse reactions in patients with GIST. Drug monitoring should be strengthened in patients with IM trough concentration >1-539-μg/L and NDI trough concentration >303-μg/L to ensure the safety of IM use.

    Both Chuanwu (parent root of Aconitum carmichaeli) and Caowu (tuberous root of Aconitum kusnezoffii) contain diterpenoid alkaloids, of which the main alkaloid is aconitine. Inappropriate use of Chuanwu or Caowu may cause intoxication. Oral aconitine 3 to 5 mg may produce fatalities. This paper reports a case of Chuanwu and Caowu decoctioninduced cardiotoxicity. A 42yearold man developed numbness of the extremites, palpitation, chess distress, and dizziness one hour after taking 1 000 ml of a decoction prepared from Chuanwu 30 g and Caowu 30 g for external application by mistake. One hour and half , the patient presented with ventrcular extrasystole. He underwent gastric lavage, and received IV furosemide and IV omeperazole. After two hours, he developed mild coma, and muscular tremor. His heart rate was 209 beats/min, and his BP was 67/25 mm Hg. An ECG revealed ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. IV amiodarone, IV lidocaine, and IV atropine were given. After 3 hours, laboratory testing revealed the following values: WBC 12.4×109/L, Hb 152 g/L, AST 812 U/L, and ALT 205 U/L. An ECG showed frequent ventricular extrasystole, paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia. Treatment included administration of dexamethasone, dopamine, lidocaine, Shengmai injection, Dahuang (rhubarb) decoction, and detoxication decoction prepared from black soybean, Fangfeng(ledebouriella root), mel, and Zhi Gancao (prepared liquorice).

    ObjectiveTo understand the medication situation of Alzheimer′s disease(AD) of six cities in ChinaMethodsThe data were from 50 hospitals of six cities (including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Hangzhou) in China which involved in the Hospital Prescription Analysis Cooperative Project. Prescriptions from Department of Outpatient and Emergency, doctor′s orders of inpatients in 40 days in each hospital in each year from 2012 to 2014 were selected randomly. The information of medication use about AD was extracted and analyzed using software of Visual FoxPro 8.0 and SPSS 22.0.ResultsThere were 59 891 AD patients in six cities. The patients′ prevalence peak was in 75 to 89 years, accounted for 66.9% of the total cases of AD patients (40 096 patients). Application of cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEI) and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist accounted for 46.5% of the total cases of AD patients (27 827/59 891), behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) accounted for 26.4% (15 811/59 891), neural nutrition agent accounted for 15.1% (9 043/59 891), prevention of AD accounted for 11.7% (7 007/59 891). There were no significant differences in constituent ratios of ChEI use alone, NMDA receptor antagonist use alone, or ChEI combined with NMDA receptor antagonist treatment in AD patients in the 3 years (P>0.05). The compound annual growth rate was 69.6% of ChEI combined with NMDA receptor antagonist treatment. The top 3 drugs in AD patients were donepezil (14 254 patients), memantine (12 278 patients), and olanzapine (4 612 patients). Total amount of AD patients′ prescriptions was 20.124 million yuan, of the top 15 drugs according to the cost for AD treatment, the cost of first-line therapy was 9.129 million yuan (45.4%), the cost of BPSD was 1.538 million yuan(7.6%), the cost of neural nutrition agent was 1.278 million yuan (6.4%), and the cost of prevention of AD was 0.433 million yuan (2.2%).ConclusionsChinese doctors in six cities could follow European and Chinese AD treatment guidelines and implement multi-target drug combination regimen for AD patients. The use of drugs in this AD patients was basically reasonable. But there were some problems in which doctors prescribed ineffective drugs, leading to heavy economic burden in AD patients.

    Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of reslizumab targeting interleukin 5 in adjuvant therapy for patients with refractory asthma. Methods The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Clinicaltrials.gov, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang databases were searched (up to June 2022). Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of reslizumab in adjuvant therapy of refractory asthma were collected. On the basis of conventional treatment for asthma, patients in the trial group was given additional reslizumab while the control group was given placebo. Primary outcome measures included the acute asthma attacks incidence, the changes of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), asthma control questionnaire (ACQ) score, asthma quality of life questionnaire (AQLQ) score, and blood eosinophil count before and after adjuvant therapy, and incidence of adverse events. RevMan 5.3-software was used for meta-analysis. The effect sizes of counting data were odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI), while the effect sizes of measurement data were mean difference (MD) and its 95%CI. Results A total of 7 RCTs and 2-506 patients were entered in the analysis, including 1-456 in the trial group and 1-050 in the control group. The meta-analysis showed that, compared to the control group, the acute asthma attacks incidence was lower in patients of the trial group during adjuvant therapy[18.1%(263/1-456) vs. 31.3%(329/1-050), OR=0.50, 95%CI: 0.41-0.62, P<0.001]; FEV1 and AQLQ score after treatment were higher (MD=0.13 L, 95%CI: 0.08-0.17 L, P<0.001; MD=0.18, 95%CI: 0.04-0.33, P=0.01); the ACQ score and blood eosinophil count were higher (MD=-0.19, 95%CI: -0.28--0.10, P<0.001; MD=-0.45×109/L,95%CI:-0.48×109/L--0.42×109/L,P<0.001). There were no statistically significant difference in the incidences of overall adverse events, serious adverse events, allergic reactions, and pneumonia compared to those in the control group [63.7% (928/1-456) vs. 71.4% (750/1-050), OR=0.76, 95%CI: 0.55-1.06, P=0.10; 6.4% (93/1-456) vs. 8.2% (86/1-050), OR=0.91, 95%CI: 0.66-1.24, P=0.55; 0.4% (5/1-403) vs. 0.1% (1/997), OR=1.66, 95%CI: 0.41-6.65, P=0.47; 0.6% (9/1-456) vs. 1.0% (10/1-050), OR=0.81, 95%CI: 0.35-1.87, P=0.63].

    Objective To explore the clinical and pathological characteristics of heomlytic- uremic syndrome (HUS) induced by gemcitabine. Methods The relevant databases abroad were searched up to November 12, 2018. Case reports and clinical research papers about HUS induced by gemcitabine were collected. The patient′s general situation, use of gemcitabine, symptoms of HUS, relevant laboratory test results, renal biopsy results, time from medication to HUS onset, and the treatments and outcomes of HUS were recorded. The clinical and pathological characteristics of HUS induced by gemcitabine were analyzed by descriptive statistical method. Results A total of 61 patients were enrolled in the study, including 22 males and 35 females with 4 unknown gender. The age of patients ranged from 25 to 81 years. The primary diseases included pancreatic cancer in 22 cases, lung cancer in 18 cases, cholangiocarcinoma in 7 cases, mammary cancer in 5 cases, ovarian cancer in 4 cases, non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma in 2 cases, soft tissue sarcoma in 1 case, bladder cancer in 1 case, and kidney cancer in 1 case. HUS occurred in 2-34 months after the first application of gemcitabine, and the median time was 6 months. The cumulative dose of gemcitabine was 4-000-99-540-mg/m2 when HUS occurred, and the median cumulative dose was 19-100-mg/m2. Of the 61 patients, 54 patients developed HUS symptoms, including hypertension (43 cases, 79.6%), peri- pheral edema (31 cases, 57.4%), and dyspnea (20 cases, 37.0%), and 7 patients were asymptomatic. There were different degrees of increase in serum creatinine and lactate dehydrogenase and decrease in platelet and hemoglobin in 61 patients. Fifteen patients performed renal biopsy and the thrombotic microangiopathy were found in all cases. Gemcitabine were stopped after the occurrence of HUS in all patients, and therapies such as symptomatic treatments, plasmapheresis, hemodialysis, symptomatic treatments+plasmapheresis, symptomatic treatments+glucocorticoid, or rituximab or ikuzumab treatment on the basis of above- mentioned therapy were given. Of the 61 patients, HUS was improved in 34 (55.7%) cases, but 27 patients  (44.3%) died within 1-65 months after the occurrence of HUS, of which 13 cases (21.3%) died of HUS. Conclusions The main clinical manifestations of HUS caused by gemcitabine are hypertension, peripheral edema, and dyspnea. A few patients may be asymptomatic, but all develop abnormal laboratory indicators related to toxuria and hemolysis. The main pathological changes in the kidney are thrombotic microan- giopathy. The prognosis of HUS is poor. Severe cases can lead to death.

    Objective: To investigate the causes of cefradineinduced hematuria in children. Methods: Clinical data from 19 children with hematuria induced by cefradine use in the community from March 2005 to March 2008 were collected. The patients’ sex and age, clinical presentation, dosage and administration of cefradine, the onset time, intensity and outcome of hematuria were investigated and analyzed. Results: Of the 19 children, 16 were males, 3 were females, and their age was ≤ 1 year (3 cases), ~3 years (10 cases), ~7 years (4 cases), and >7 years (2 cases). The routine dosage of cefradine was 50~100 mg/(kg·d) dissolved in 100~250 ml of sodium chloride 0.9% or glucose 5% for an IV infusion. Sixteen patients received 100 mg/(kg·d). One patient received 110 mg/(kg·d), two patients received <100 mg/(kg·d).The daily dosage was used as a single dose in 17 patients. Of the 19 patients, 17 developed gross hematuria and two developed microscopic hematuria. Laboratory tests showed RBC (+++~++++)/HP and urinary protein <0.1 g/24 h. Sixteen patients (84.2%) had normal renal function and 3 patients (15.8%) had mild elevation in SCr and BUN levels. Eighteen patients (94.7%) developed hematuria within 24 hours after receiving drug therapy. One patient’s hematuria onset was over 24 hours. After drug withdrawal, gross hematuria disappeared within 1~2 days and microscopic hematuria disappeared within 3~5 days. At 3month followup after discharge, their routine urine and renal functions normalized. Conclusion: Hematuria following an IV infusion of cefradine in childnen might be linked to the factors of large dose, high concentration, and young age.

    Neutropenia is the most common hematological toxicity in chemotherapy for cancer patients. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF) are currently the most commonly used symptomatic therapeutic drugs in clinical practice, playing a key role in ensuring adequate doses and on schedule in chemotherapy. As of December 2024, more than 80 specifications of G-CSF have been approved for market in China, which provides diverse options in clinical practice while also poses higher demands on standardized management of pharmaceutical services. Therefore, the Oncology Specialty Pharmacists Branch of the Chinese Pharmacists Association, in collaboration with the National Cancer Center and multidisciplinary experts nationwide, jointly formulated this guideline by integrating clinical evidence, relevant regulations on pharmaceutical affairs management, and pharmaceutical service practices. The development process involves systematic literature search, Delphi method, expert interviews, and discussions. The key pharmacological service points of G-CSF in cancer patients were systematically elaborated in this guideline, covering aspects such as indication management, dosage and administration, medication for special populations, combined medication strategies, economic evaluation, and adverse reaction monitoring, resulting in 22 recommendations. This guideline aims to provide a systematic and scientific reference for the rational use of G-CSF and related pharmaceutical services for cancer patients.

    Objective To know the clinical characteristics of liver injury related to thalidomide and its analogs. Methods The relevant databases at home and abroad (up to August 31, 2022) were searched and the case reports on thalidomide and its analogs-associated liver injury were collected. The patients′ gender, age, primary disease, drug use, occurrence of liver injury (onset time, clinical manifestations, liver function status, liver injury classification, etc.), treatment and outcome were recorded and descriptively analyzed. Results A total of 18 patients were enrolled, including 11 males and 7 females, aged from 36 to 93 years with an average age of 60 years. The primary disease was multiple myeloma in 16 patients, plasma cell leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome in 1 patient each. Thalidomide was used in 9 patients, lenalidomide in 6 patients and pomalidomide in 3 patients. The time from the beginning of medication to the occurrence of liver injury ranged from 4 to 232 days and it was ≤ 60 days in 15 patients. The classification of liver injury was hepatocellular type in 9 patients, cholestasis type in 7 patients, and unable to be determined due to lack of data in 2 patients. Different degrees of abnormal liver function appeared in 18 patients, mainly including elevated alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase (in 16 patients), elevated total bilirubin (in 14 patients), and elevated alkaline phosphatase (in 12 patients). Clinical symptoms were recorded in 15 patients, including jaundice (in 13 cases), fatigue (in 7 cases) and nausea (in 4 cases). After diagnosis of liver injury, thalidomide or its analogues were discontinued in all 18 patients, and 4 cases received symptomatic and supportive therapy. Liver function in 13 patients was improved or returned to normal within 7 to 28 days after drug withdrawal, and 5 patients died (2 cases died of liver failure, 3 cases died of primary diseases or other complications). Conclusions Thalidomide and its analogs associated liver injury mostly occurs within 2 months after drug administration and the clinical symptoms were similar to those caused by other drugs. After drug withdrawal, the liver function in most patients could be improved or return to normal, but a few may progress to liver failure and death.

    Albumin, the major protein involved in maintaining colloid osmotic pressure in the blood, has been used in conditions such as burns, severe acute loss of albumin, and acute hypovolaemic shock. However, a variety of inappropriate use of albumin has been widely present in clinical practice recently, such as supplying nutrition, enhancing immunity, promoting wound healing, and expanding or maintaining blood volume in the routine treatment of fluid depletion. Actually, despite of the increase in serum albumin level, the use of albumin can not improve the therapeutic effects for original disease, reduce the incidence rate of complications, and improve clinical prognosis. One study reported that the increased deaths were 6 cases for each 100 critically ill patients using albumin, and it might be linked to increased mortality. In addition, there was no evidence that albumin administration reduces mortality in critically ill patients with hypovolaemia, burns, or hypoproteinemia. At present, the generally acknowledged indications of albumin in clinical practice are as follows: 24 hours after large area burns, acute traumatic shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome, blood replacement therapy, renal dialysis, severe hypoproteinemia and ascites, acute liver failure with hepatic coma.

    Microecology is a branch of vital science for research in the relationship of microorganisms with the hosts. Recently, microecological preparations are emerging in large numbers with the advance of microecology. The microecological preparations can regulate microecosystem dysbiosis, maintain microecosystem balance, and confer a health benefit on the host. The microecological preparations can be classified into three types: probiotics (live microorganisms), prebiotics (nondigestible food ingredient), and synbiotics (a mixture of probiotics and prebiotics). The indications for microecological preparations are diarrhea (including diarrhea in children, antibioticassociated diarrhea, and traveller's diarrhea), irritable bowel syndrome, inflamematory bowel disease, Helicobacter pylori infections, constipation, cirrhosis, allergy, and female genital urinary tract infections. The microecological preparations are relatively safe. However, the microecological preparations containing live microorganisms should be used in caution in patients with hypoimmunity or impaired intestinal mucosal barrier in order to avoid opportunistic infections occurring. General precautions for the use of microecological preparations are as follows: the tablet/capsule should be swallowed with warm water (at a temperature under 40℃); bismuth preparations, tannic acid, activated charcoal, tincture, and certain antibiotics in combination with microecological preparations comprising live microorganisms should be avoided; the microecological preparations should be preserved in lightprotected containers and kept in cool place.

    A 58-year-old male patient received subcutaneous injection of enoxaparin 4-000 U twice daily and continuous IV pump of tirofiban hydrochloride for injection 12.5-mg dissolved in 0.9% sodium chloride injection 250-ml at a speed of 5-ml per hour after coronary angiography and coronary stent implantation. Aspirin enteric coated tablets and clopidogrel bisulfate tablets were taken orally at the same time. Fifteen hours later, the patient developed bloody sputum and scattered bleeding spots on the trunk and extremities. Laboratory test showed platelet count (PLT) 1×109/L and extremely severe thrombocytopenia was considered. The above treatments were stopped immediately and 8 U of platelets were infused intravenously once. Next day, his PLT returned to 30×109/L, and clopidogrel bisulfate tablets were given again; on the 3rd day, his PLT returned to 57×109/L, and aspirin enteric coated tablets were given again; on the 6th day, his PLT returned to 144×109/L. According to heparin-induced thrombocytopenia scoring system, the patient′s score was 1, indicating that the possibility of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia was low, so it was considered that the patient′s extremely severe thrombocytopenia was probably caused by tirofiban.

    ObjectiveTo understand the situation and influencing factors of potentially inappropriate medication(PIM) in elderly patients in outpatient and emergency departments in China.MethodsPrescriptions for patients aged ≥65 years with complete prescribing information from 79 hospitals in six cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Hangzhou and Chengdu from February 1st, 2014 to December 31st, 2014 were collected. All prescriptions for elderly patients of 10 working days in each quarter were collected and the basic information (including region, hospital grade, gender, age, department, and major disease/disease status) and medication information (including drug name, drug specification, drug dosage form, drug dose, and the number of combined drugs) were recorded. The situation and influencing factors of PIM in elderly patients based on the Chinese PIM list and 2012 Beers criteria were analyzed.ResultsA total of 2 962 232 prescriptions were collected, of them, 1 499 201 were for male patients and 1 463 031 ones for female patients. The ages were from 65 to 120 years and the average age was (75±7) years. The number of combined drugs were 1-15 and the average number was 2.2±1.5. According to the Chinese PIM list (Chinese list,including 72 drugs)and 2012 Beers criteria (Beers criteria,including 124 drugs and 100 of them were in the Chinese market), the detection proportion of prescriptions for elderly patients containing PIM in outpatient and emergency departments were 15.81%(468 228/2 962 232)and 9.16% (271 250/2 962 232), respectively (P<0.001); the detection proportion of PIM varieties in prescriptions were 90.28%(65/72)and 70.00% (70/100), respectively (P<0.001); the detection proportion of PIM varieties with high risks or high recommendation and high evidence levels were 85.71% (30/35) and 67.50% (27/40), respectively (P=0.065). The proportion of prescriptions with one inappropriate medication in all PIM prescriptions were 91.83%(429 977/468 228) and 92.79%(251 696/271 250), respectively. The top 10 drugs in PIM prescriptions were clopidogrel, estazolam, alprazolam, doxazosin, nicergoline, zolpidem, diclofenac, insulin, olanzapine, and warfarin according to the Chines PIM list, and estazolam, alprazolam, doxazosin, terazosin, zolpidem, diclofenac, meloxicam, olanzapine, clonazepam, and spironolactone according to 2012 Beers criteria. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the cities, hospital grade, gender, age, departments for treatment, the number of combined medica-tions, and disease or disease states were independent risk factors for PIM. The risks of PIM in patients with sleep disorder, depression, coronary heart disease, Alzheimer disease, prostate hyperplasia and arthritis or joint pain were higher than in patients with other diseases or disease status.ConclusionsThe prevalence of PIM use according to the Chinese PIM list and 2012 Beers criteria in elderly patients in outpatient and emergency departments in China were not optimistic. Risk factors of PIM use in elderly patients in China were the regional distribution, hospital grade, gender, age, the number of combined medications, department for treatment, and disease/disease status.

    A 53-year-old male patient with stage Ⅳ diabetic nephropathy received an IV infusion of torasemide 40-mg which was put into a small pot once daily for edema of both lower limbs. On the 3rd day of medication, the dose of torasemide was increased to 80-mg/d according to the doctor′s advice due to poor diuretic effect. Eight hours later, the patient developed bilateral visual occlusion and blurred vision. Ophthalmological examination showed normal visual acuity and intraocular pressure in both eyes. The loss of binocular visual field caused by torasemide was considered. Then the drug was discontinued. After 2 days of drug withdrawal, the patient′s visual field loss disappeared. Because of the patient′s disease condition, IV infusion of torasemide 40-mg which was put into a small pot once daily was given again for 6 days, and the patient did not develop symptoms of visual field loss. The change of visual field might be related to the high dose of torasemide.

    A 65-year-old female patient with chronic renal failure undergoing continuous hemo- dialysis received an IV infusion of cefmenoxime 1 g twice daily for acute pancreatitis. The values of prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) were within the normal range before treatment. After 11 days of treatment, the patient developed multiple ecchymoses on the skin and bleeding from the venipuncture site which was not easily stopped. The reexamination of coagulation function showed PT 127-s, INR 10.72, and APTT 86-s. Coagulation dysfunction was considered and an IV infusion of leukocyte-reduced fresh-frozen plasma 150-ml was given. Examination of coagulation function next day showed PT 101-s, INR 8.49, and APTT 65-s. Mixing study for evaluation of abnormal coagulation testing showed that PT and APTT could be corrected, suggesting coagulation factor deficiency. Blood coagulation disorders caused by cefmenoxime was considered. Then the drug was discontinued and switched to amoxicillin sodium and clavulanate potassium, and a subcutaneous injection of vitamin K1-10-mg was given once daily. Three days after the drug withdrawal, her coagulation function returned to within the normal range (PT 15-s, INR 1.19, APTT 36-s).

    Objective To systematically understand the occurrence of dabigatran etexilate-related bleeding events, and provide reference for clinical safe drug use. Methods Reports on adverse event (AE) and bleeding event, in which dabigatran etexilate was considered as the first suspected drug, in the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from January 2004 to April 2019 were extracted. According to the preferred system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) from terminology of adverse drug reactions in Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities, the bleeding event reports were classified, and the patient′s age, gender, drug dosage and AE occurrence were extracted. Based on SOC and PT respectively, the signals of dabigatran etexilate-related hemorrhage were detected using 3 methods inclu- ding reporting odds ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN). If the results were all positive using the 3 methods, it would be considered as the suspected AE signal. Results A total of 56-501 AE reports with dabigatran etexilate as the primary suspected drug were collected, in which 19-737 (34.93%) reports were about bleeding events. Among the 19-737 patients, 9-687 (49.08%) were male, 9-790 (49.60%) were female, and 260 (1.32%) were with unknown gender; their ages ranged from 18 to 95 years, 2 742 (13.89%) patients were <75 years old, 15-051 (76.26%) were ≥75 years old, and 1-944 (9.85%) were with unknown age; the dose of dabigatran etexilate was 110-mg once daily in 416 patients (2.11%), 110-mg twice daily in 2 346 patients (11.89%), 150-mg once daily in 525 patients (2.66%), 150-mg twice daily in 402 patients (20.33%), and unknown in 12-438 patients (63.02%); 9-242 patients (46.83%) developed serious bleeding events, and 3-260 patients (16.52%) died. The SOCs with positive signals detected using the 3 methods were gastrointestinal disorders(14-382 cases,72.87%), central nervous disorders (3-216 cases,16.29%), renal and urinary disorders (7.41%, 1-462 cases), skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders (2.92%, 576 cases), and eye disorders (0.51%, 101 cases). The top 3 SOCs with higher signal intensities were gastrointestinal disorders, renal and urinary disorders, and central nervous disorders. A total of 32 PTs with positive signals were detected using the 3 methods. Of them, 12 PTs were positive in gastrointestinal disorders, and the top 5 PTs with higher signal intensities were lower gastrointestinal bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, and melena; 2 PTs were positive in renal and urinary disorders, in which the urinary tract hemorrhage was with higher intensity; 11 PTs were positive in central nervous disorders, and the top 5 PTs with higher signal intensities were intracranial hemorrhage, intracranial hematoma, hemorrhagic stroke, subdural hemorrhage, and epidural hemorrhage; 4 PTs were positive in skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders, and the signal intensity of subcutaneous hemorrhage ranked the first; 2 PTs were positive in eye disorders, in which the conjunctival hemorrhage was with higher intensity. Conclusions Bleeding is more severe in dabigatran etexilate-related AEs, and gastrointestinal bleeding is more common. Patients with age ≥75 years have a higher risk of bleeding, which should be paid attention to in clinic.

    Hepatitis C is an infectious disease caused by hepatitis C virus. Treatment of hepatitis C viral infection is mainly to use interferon or interferon plus ribavirin. Depression may occur in the patients with hepatitis C following treatment with interferon. The time of depression onset is 1-8 weeks after starting interferon. The prevalence rate of interferon-induced depression is 17%-82%. The risk factors for depression occurring include patients' heredity, neuropsychic condition before interferon treatment, hepatitis C itself, and the dosage, duration, administration route, and formulations of interferon. The mechanisms of interferoninduced depression are decreased 5-HT levels, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis activation, proinflammatory cytokine activation, increased intercellular adhesion molecule-1, increased nitric oxide levels, and decreased dipeptidyl peptidase levels. Treatment and prevention of depression include assessment of patient condition before treatment and appropriate choice of anti-depression drugs after depression occurring.

    An 86-year-old male patient received IV infusions of meropenem (1 g once per 12-hours) combined with ciprofloxacin lactate and sodium chloride injection (200-mg once daily) for pneumonia, respiratory failure, and multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection suggested by sputum bacterial culture. On the 4th day of treatments, the patient developed a sudden drop in blood pressure, and his pulse could not be measured. ECG monitoring suggested ventricular fibrillation. After the treatments of electric defibrillation and amiodarone injection, his sinus rhythm restored. The next day the patient had another three episodes of ventricular fibrillation. All electrolytes were normal during emergency examination and ECG examination showed that the QT interval was normal. Ciprofloxacin was discontinued and replaced by meropenem combined with fosfomycin, and ventricular fibrillation did not recur. Twenty-six days later, the patient′s pneumonia was aggravated and sputum bacterial culture result showed multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, which was sensitive to ciprofloxacin and moderately sensitive to levofloxacin. Then meropenem (the same dosage and usage as before) combined with levofloxacin injection (200-mg once daily) were given. On the fifth day of treatments, the patient developed ventricular fibrillation again and his heart rhythm returned to normal after electric defibrillation and amiodarone treatment. Levofloxacin was discontinued and meropenem combined with fosfomycin were given again. Then ventricular fibrillation did not recur. The patient′s ventricular fibrillation was considered to be possibly related to ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin.

    Objective To explore the occurrence and clinical characteristics of infusion-related reactions (IRRs) caused by lecanemab in Chinese patients with Alzheimer disease, and summarize the nursing management experience of IRRs. Methods This study was a single center retrospective study and the subjects were Alzheimer′s disease patients who received lecanemab (10 mg/kg, once every 2 weeks) in the Department of Neurology, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 26 to August 18, 2024. The occurrence, clinical characteristics, severity, and outcome of IRRs that occurred during the treatment of lecanemab in these patients were descriptively analyzed. Results A total of 45 patients were included in the study, including 15 males (33.3%) and 30 females (66.7%); the age ranged from 52 to 82 years, with a median age of 62 years. Among the 45 patients, 15 (33.3%) developed IRRs, including 6 males and 9 females, and 2 of them had a previous history of allergy. In the 15 patients, there were 3, 8, 1 and 3 patients with 1, 2, 3 and 4 treatment cycles, respectively; 13 patients were pretreated with diphenhyd-ramine 30 minutes before lecanemab treatment; 14 patients had IRRs in the first cycle of lecanemab treatment, and 1 in the second cycle; IRRs occurred within 5 hours after finishing the intravenous infusion of lecanemab in 13 patients and on the second day after the administration in 2 patients. The main manifestations of IRRs were fever and chills; some patients had headache, nausea, and vomiting symptoms, and only 1 patient developed rash and itching. After symptomatic treatments, these symptoms in the 13 patients were relieved soon, and IRRs did not recur after the continued treatment of lecanemab according to the regime. The severity of IRRs was grade 1, 2, and 3 in 5, 9, and 1 patient, respectively. The incidence of severe IRRs was 2.2% (1/45). Conclusions IRRs are common adverse reactions of lecanemab, mainly characterized by fever and chills, with mild severity. Generally, lecanemab-related IRRs occurs after the first administration, and may not occur again in the continued treatments. Vital signs should be routinely monitored in lecanemab treatment. Once IRRs occur, timely treatments should be given according to the severity, and the prognosis is usually good.

    A 69-year-old female patient suffered from cholestasis caused by acute viral hepatitis A was  treated with ursodeoxycholic acid  capsules  250 mg thrice daily. The patient developed facial flushing after a week. The symptoms relieved after the drug discontinuation. Three days later, the patient continued to take the medicine at the same dose, the symptom of facial flush recurred accompanied by facial swelling and systemic red rash. The medicine was discontinued immediately. The patient was under the treatment with IV infusions of vitamin C, calcium gluconate and methylprednisolone, intramuscular injection of diphenhydramine hydrochloride, oral loratadine and cetirizine hydrochloride, externally used calamine lotion, fluticasone propionate cream and fusidic acid cream. However, scattered bulla with clear liquid and cankered part appeared on the patient′s trunk skin, the diagnosis of drug eruption was made. She was given IV infusion of cefoperazone sodium and tazobactam sodium and oral mizolastine. One day later, the patient developed pain at lower limb skin, large red patches occurred on her thigh and trunk, double outer thighs with bulla of clear fluid, multiple target red patches on both legs with blisters of clear fluid. She was considered as having epidermolysis bullosa. She received an IV infusion of human immunoglobulin 20 g once daily. The target red patches were fused and formed diffuse erythema. After 3 days, the pain relived with the diffuse erythema faded away and the wizened bulla. After another two days, the blisters formed skin erosion in the thighs. After 3 days, the erosion was clean and dry, the dose of methylprednisolone was reduced. One week later, her liver function returned to normal. After 5 days, the erythema on the thigh and trunk appeared flake desquamation. Methylprednisolone was stopped and the patient received oral prednisone and externally used compound lactic acid ointment.

    Two patients receiving highdose methotrexate chemotherapy developed acute renal failure.Patient 1, a 53-year-old woman with nonHodgkin lymphoma, received highdose methotrexate chemotherapy. Initially she was infused with methotrexate 500 mg intravenously within half an hour, followed by 3500 mg via infusion pump within 24 hours. Then calcium folinate was given for rescue. The first dose of calcium folinate was 30 mg/m2, followed by 15 mg/m2 intramuscularly once every 6 hours for 8 doses. The patient had no history of chronic renal disease. Her renal function was normal before chemotherapy (SCr 97.1 μmol/L, BUN 4.78 mmol/L). On day 4 after chemotherapy, she developed mild edema of the face and both hands, and oliguria; her SCr increased to 151 μmol/L. Methylprednisolone, furosemide, and calcium carbonate and vitamin D3 were given; her urinary alkalinisation and monitoring of renal function were performed (a peak SCr level of 275 μmol/L). On day 13 after chemotherapy, her renal function returned to within normal range (SCr 96 μmol/L).Patient 2, a 29-year-old man with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, received highdose methotrexate chemotherapy. Initially he was infused with methotrexate 500 mg intravenously within half an hour, followed by 4500 mg via infusion pump within 24 hours. The regimen of rescue was the same as patient 1. The patient had no history of chronic renal disease. His renal function was normal before chemotherapy (SCr 86.9 μmol/L, BUN 5.35 mmol/L). On day 3 after chemotherapy, he developed generalized edema and oliguria; his SCr increased to 235 μmol/L (peak level 360 μmol/L). The symptomatic treatment was given (the regimen was the same as patient 1). On day 30 after chemotherapy, his renal function returned to within normal range(SCr 89 μmol/L).

    Thrombocytopenia is one of the serious adverse reactions to linezolid. The risk factors for linezolid-induced thrombocytopenia are advanced age, female, long-term treatment, combined use of 3 kinds or more of antibiotics, lower baseline platelet count and renal insufficiency. Local symptoms of linezolid-induced thrombocytopenia are gingival bleeding, epistaxis, purpura and, in severe cases, gastrointestinal bleeding may occur. The most commonly seen general symptoms are fever, chills, generalized aching pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and arthralgia. The mechanism of thrombocytopenia induced by linezolid may be associated with bone marrow suppression, immune mediation or oxidative stress. Vitamin B6 might be effective in treating linezolid-induced thrombocytopenia, but the mechanism is presently unknown.

    An 87-year-old female patient with Alzheimer's disease received donepezil 5-mg once daily orally for 8 years and then memantine 10-mg once daily orally was added due to the progression of the condition. Three months later, the patient suddenly fell into a coma and did not respond to call, acompanied by shortness of breath and wheezing. The patient had needle like changes in the pupils of both eyes, with blood pressure 190/100-mmHg and heart rate 56 beats per minute.  The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was E1V1M1. It was considered that the patient was poisoned due to drug accumulation caused by combination use of donepezil and memantine (blood concentration of methotrexate 215-mg/L, warning value: 30-mg/L; blood concentration of donepezil 33-mg/L, warning value: 20-mg/L). The 2 drugs were stopped, and symptomatic and supportive treatments such as fluid hydration, blood pressure reduction, and brain awakening were given. On the 3th day after drug discontinuation, the patient′s consciousness temporarily shifted to drowsiness, and her GCS was E1V1M1; on the 7th day after drug discontinuation, the patient′s consciousness became clear and she was able to answer simple questions, with GCS E4V4M4, blood pressure 126/67-mmHg, and normal pupil size.

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors of acute hepatic injury (AHI) due to amiodarone hydrochloride injection. Methods The study was designed as centralized monitoring. The monitored subjects were patients who were hospitalized in Shanxi Bethune Hospital and received amiodarone hydrochloride injection from March 1, 2018 to February 28, 2019, in which the patients with virus hepatitis, autoimmune liver disease, primary carcinoma of liver or hepatic metastasis of malignant tumor, and abnormal liver function before medication were excluded when analyzing the clinical characteristics and risk factors of AHI due to amiodarone hydrochloride injection. The special clinical records of the patients, who developed abnormal liver function after medication and were adjudged as AHI by attending physician and clinical pharmacist, were established by specially-assigned person. The laboratory tests records of the patients treated with the drug were rechecked through the Hospital Information System every month. After finishing the monitoring, the electronic medical records of monitored subjects were collected by searching the Hospital Information System; the patients′ basic information, basic diseases, the total dose of amiodarone hydrochloride injection, combination drugs, the detection results of alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin (TBil) before and after application of amiodarone hydrochloride injection, the time from medication to AHI occurrence, and the clinical manifestations, treatment and outcome of AHI were recorded. The patients were divided into the AHI group and the non-AHI group and the clinical features between the 2 groups were compared. The indices of P<0.2 between groups were analyzed using the multivariable logistic regression model, and odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Results A total of 271 patients were enrolled into the study. Of them, 34 patients developed AHI, the incidence of AHI was 12.5%. The differences of sex distribution, age, height, body weight, total dose by intravenous medication, situations of other combination drugs (including antiplatelet drugs, statins, Beta-adrenergic blockers, anticoagulants, hormones, and antineoplastic drugs and etc.) between the AHI group and the non-AHI group (237 patients) were not statistically significant (P>0.05 for all). The proportion of patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease in the AHI group was higher than that in the no-AHI group [58.8% (20/34) vs. 30.8% (73/237), χ2=10.358, P=0.001]. The differences of ALT, AST and TBil levels between the 2 groups before application of amiodarone hydrochloride injection were not statistically significant (P>0.05 for all). The levels of ALT, AST, and TBil in the AHI group were significantly higher than those in the non-AHI group after application of amiodarone hydrochloride injection [341 (176, 1175) U/L vs. 25 (16, 31) U/L, P=0.014; 439 (167, 1?586) U/L vs. 36 (24, 56) U/L, P=0.029; 36.0 (15.3, 42.1) μmol/L vs.18.6 (14.8, 22.1) μmol/L, P<0.001], and also significantly higher than those in the non-AHI group (P=0.006, P=0.026, P<0.001). Of 34 AHI patients, 19, 14 and 1 patients developed abnormal liver function on day 2, 3 and 5 of medication, respectively, all of them had no obvious clinical signs and symptoms. After being diagnosed as having AHI, 29 patients discontinued the amiodarone hydrochloride injection treatment, 3 changed to lidocaine, and 2 discontinued it after 1 and 3 days of continued medication, respectively. All 34 patients received symptomatic treatments such as liver-protective drugs, in which 32 patients (94.1%) were improved, including 25 patients (78.1%) with liver function within the reference range, 7 patients with ALT and AST levels within 2 times of upper limit of reference range values and their TBil level within the reference range. The other 2 patients (5.9%) developed multi-organ dysfunction syndrome, in which one patient returned with normal liver function after treatment and one died. The results of multivariate regression analysis showed that coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, combined basic diseases ≥3 kinds, and combination drugs ≥3 kinds were the independent risk factors for AHI due to amiodarone hydrochloride injection (OR=3.209, 95%CI: 1.537-6.704, P=0.002; OR=2.437, 95%CI: 1.083-5.486, P=0.031; OR=3.172, 95%CI: 1.507-6.677, P=0.002). Conclusions AHI due to amiodarone hydrochloride injection occurred mostly within 3 days of medication, which are acute onset and no obvious clinical signs and symptoms. The AHI′s diagnosis is mainly based on liver function examination. Patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, combined basic diseases ≥3 kinds, and combination drugs ≥3 kinds are independent risk factors for AHI due to amiodarone hydrochloride injection.

    Clinical presentations of oxaliplatin-induced anaphylactic reaction are respiratory tract symptoms, skin symptoms and other systemic symptoms. Hypersensitivity induced by oxaliplatin usually occurs after multiple treatment courses. The mechanisms of oxaliplatin-induced anaphylactic reaction may be associated with a high cytokine release. The risk and severity of oxaliplatin-induced anaphylactic reaction can be reduced by using allergy skin test, a slower infusion rate, a conditioning regimen and desensitization therapy.

    A 54-year-old male patient received furosemide, sacubitril and valsartan, trimebutine, and live combined bifidobacterium, lactobacillus and enterococcus capsules for heart failure, atrial fibrillation, abdominal distension, and diarrhea. The patient′s renal function was normal before medication and the serum creatinine (Scr) was 93-μmol/L. On day 2, due to the patient′s cough and sputum, paracetamol, pseudoepherine hydrochloride, dextromethorphan hydrobromide and chlorphenamine maleate (containing 325-mg paracetamol, 30-mg pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, 15-mg dextromethorphan hydrobromide and 2-mg chlorphenamine maleate in each tablet) 325-mg orally were added once every 6 hours. On day 3, the patient developed dysuria and lower abdominal pain. Laboratory tests showed Scr 215-μmol/L and B-type natriuretic peptide 0.091-μmol/L; emergency ultrasonography of urinary system showed prostatic calculus, normal prostate size, and full bladder. Considering that paracetamol, pseudoepherine hydrochloride, dextromethorphan hydrobromide and chlorphenamine maleate caused acute urinary retention and then acute kidney injury, the drug was stopped on that day and the other drugs were continued. On the 2nd day of drug withdrawal, the patient′s dysuria was relieved and Scr was 162-μmol/L; on the 3rd day of drug withdrawal, the patient′s symptoms disappeared and Scr was 134-μmol/L.

    A 56-year-old male patient was scheduled to undergo debridement due to his left forearm trauma, and functions of his heart, liver, and kidney were normal. Before operation, human tetanus immunoglobulin 250 U was injected intramuscularly without discomfort; 80-minutes later, intravenous infusion of levofloxacin hydrochloride injection was started. After 2-minutes of infusion (approximately 8-ml), the patient had sudden dyspnea, dysphoria, and vomiting. His blood pressure could not be measured due to agitation and blood oxygen saturation was 0.82. Levofloxacin was immediately stopped and electrocar- diographic monitoring and oxygen inhalation were given. But the patient became unconscious, his heart rate dropped to 50 beats/min, and blood pressure was 71/45-mmHg. Immediately, cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed, and epinephrine, dexamethasone, etc. were given. Anaphylactic shock caused by levofloxacin was considered and type Ⅱ respiratory failure appeared, he was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit to assist breathing with an invasive ventilator. Laboratory tests revealed cardiac troponin T 0.253-mg/L, myoglobin >3-000-mg/L; aspartate aminotransferase 1-079-U/L, alanine aminotransferase 798-U/L, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase 157-U/L; serum creatinine 157 μmol/L. It was considered that the patient developed multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Continuous hemofiltration, symptomatic treatments such as liver protection, and nutrient therapy for myocardium were given. After 9 days, the patient was detached from the respirator; after 13 days, hemofiltration was stopped; after 29 days, the patient′s mind became clear and the laboratory indexes of heart, liver and kidney returned to normal.

    To investigate the research progress of hepatotoxicity due to antifungal drugs, in order to provide a reference for clinical safety use of antifungal drugs.Methods"Antifungal drugs" and "hepatotoxicity" were selected as the keywords, and PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Chinese Academic Periodical Full-text Database China HowNet Chinese Academic Journal (CNKI) and Chinese Biomedical Literature database (CBMdisc) were searched. All literature on hepatotoxicity due to antifungal drugs were selected. A database of literature accepted for final bibliometric study was established by using Microsoft Excel. The parameters of bibliometrics such as published time (years), the top 5 countries and institutes in publishing, literature′s type, published time (years), top 5 journals in publishing number, top 10 articles in terms of cited frequency were studied. The main content and hotspot of literature were analyzed. The clinical manifestations, mechanism, incidence and prophylactico-therapeutic measures of hepatotoxicity due to antifungal drugs were summarized.ResultsA total of 221 articals (193 in English, 28 in Chinese) were enrolled in the study, of which 116 were original articles, 49 reviews and 56 case reports. The published time of first original publication of hepatotoxicity due to antifungal drugs were 1976. The journal which published largest number of articles was Mycoses. The highest citation number of individual article was 531. The main clinical manifestations were weak, right upper quadrant pain, diarrhea, jaundice, cholestasis and fever. The severe cases could cause liver failure. Laboratory examination showed elevated serum transaminases, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase. The incidence of liver toxicity due to azole antifungals was higher, the incidence of liver toxicity due to amphotericin B was lower. The antifungal drugs should be used with caution in patients with hypohepatia. For the patients who used antifungal drugs for long time, the liver function should be monitored regularly. If liver injury occurs, the antifungal drugs should be stopped immediately. Some patients′ liver function test results could return to the normal levels before administration of the symptomatic treatment and the supportive liver protection therapy. The mechanism of hepatotoxicity due to antifungal drugs was unknown, it may be related to the damage of cytoplasmic membrane structure and inhibition of metabolism in cytochrome P450 2D6 enzyme. ConclusionsThe research abroad on hepatotoxicity due to antifungal drugs are ahead of China. Hepatotoxicity due to antifungal drugs is partially reversible.

    ObjectiveTo explore the effect of combination of telbivudine (LdT) and adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) on renal function in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).MethodsThe CHB patients with renal injury due to lamivudine (LAM) resistance and combination with ADV, who visited in First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University were enrolled into this study. The randomized controlled trial was performed in this study. The patients were divided into two groups by table of random number: the LAM+ADV group (original treatment was continued) and the LdT+ADV group (LAM was replaced with LdT). The levels of HBV DNA, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), serum creatinine (Scr), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary beta 2-microspheres (Uβ2-MG), and serum creatine kinase (sCK) were compared between the 2 groups at baseline, 24 and 48 weeks of treatments.ResultsA total of 79 patients were enrolled into the study. There were 41 patients in the LAM+ADV group and 38 in the LdT+ADV group. The differences of sex distribution, age, body weight and the basal level between the 2 groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). There were no HBV DNA breakthrough in patients during 48 weeks of treatment in both groups. The differences of ALT levels at different time points in patients in the 2 groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). In the LAM+ADV group, the Scr levels at 24 and 48 weeks of treatment were higher than those at baseline [(117±11), (122±12) μmol/L vs. (113±12) μmol/L]. The difference between the baseline and 48 weeks of treatment was statistically significant (P<0.05). The levels of Scr in the LdT+ADV group at 24 and 48 weeks of treatment were lower than those at baseline [(104±10), (99±9) μmol/L vs. (109±10) μmol/L] (all P<0.05).

    Objective: To study the effects of insulin aspart and human regular insulin on blood glucose in elderly type 2 diabetic patients with irregular food intake. Methods: Thirtythree elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus \[18 men, 15 women, average age (65.82±2.85) years\] were enrolled in a clinical study from February 2006 to April 2007. They initially received regimen A (SC human regular insulin 30 minutes before each meal and SC human isophane insulin at bedtime for 4 months), followed by regimen B (SC insulin aspart 1015 minutes after meals and SC human isophane insulin at bedtime for 4 months). The fasting and 2hour postprandial (after breakfast, midday meal, and evening meal) blood glucose levels were measured twice a week. The frequency and severity of hypoglycemia as well as the changes in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbAlc) levels were observed comparatively between the two regimens. Results: The fasting and 2hour postprandial (after breakfast, midday meal, and evening meal) blood glucose levels were (7.37±4.22) mmol/L, (9.73±3.38) mmol/L, (10.23±3.96) mmol/L, and (10.85±3.36) mmol/L for regimen A, and (701±1.74) mmol/L, (9.23±1.58) mmol/L, (9.22±1.28) mmol/L, and (9.76±1.32) mmol/L for regimen B, respectively. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.01). The fluctuations of postprandial blood glucose were lower for regimen B than for regimen A. The difference values of HbAlc before and after treatment was (3.08±0.96)% for regimen A and (3.37±0.47)% for regimen B (P<0.01), respectively. The frequency of hypoglycemia and the incidence of moderate-to-severe hypoglycemia were 68 cases and 36.70% for regimen A, and 21 cases and 19.05% for regimen B, respectively. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion: In elderly type 2 diabetic patients, subcutaneous injection of insulin aspart after meals can effectively decrease the blood glucose levels, reduce the fluctuation of postprandial blood glucose levels, and diminish the frequency and severity of hypoglycemia. It is a safe and effective regimen for elderly type 2 diabetic patients with irregular food intake.

    A 63‑year‑old male patient with lung metastases from bladder cancer received IV infusions of nivolumab (1 mg/kg) and ipilimumab (3 mg/kg) once every 21 d. On day 3 after the second medication, the patient developed paroxysmal chest tightness, which could be self‑mitigated by lying down for several minutes. Laboratory tests showed high‑sensitive troponin Ⅰ 4 340 ng/L and creatine kinase  (CK)‑MB 98.9 μg/L. Immune‑related myocarditis due to combination use of nivolumab and ipilimumab was considered. After methylprednisolone with prednisone sequentially and symptomatic and supportive treatments such as fluid infusion, liver and stomach protection, improvement of myocardial metabolism, and reduction of oxygen consumption, the patient′s symptoms were improved obviously. Laboratory tests showed  high-sensitive troponin Ⅰ 192 ng/L and CK‑MB 28.4 μg/L.

    A 63-year-old female patient with multiple systemic metastases from lung adeno- carcinoma was treated with befotertinib (75-mg orally once daily) and other symptomatic supportive treatments. Before treatments, her platelet count (PLT) was 177×109/L. After 35 days of medication, the patient had a transient loss of consciousness with chest tightness and shortness of breath. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography showed multiple embolism in bilateral pulmonary arteries. Laboratory tests showed that D-dimer was 35.16-g/L, and PLT was 34×109/L. The pulmonary embolism and throm- bocytopenia were considered to be caused possibly by befotertinib. Befotertinib was stopped, and enoxaparin sodium injection and rivaroxaban were given successively for anticoagulation. Thirteen days later, the chest tightness and shortness of breath were significantly improved, D-dimer was 0.57-g/L, and the PLT was 123×109/L.

    Objective: To investigate the drug-induced liver damage in recent years. Method: Literature was retrieved from CBMdisc 1990-2001. Results: Antituberculous agents, traditional Chinese medicines and immunosuppressants were the most common drugs responsible for liver damage(LD). The risk of LD might be increased in patients by concomitant administration of potentially hepatotox-ic drugs. In the cases of renal transplantation, immunosuppressants would result in acute liver failure, the major death cause of LD. Conclusion: Care should be taken for LD caused by the above drugs, with liver function monitoring in renal recipients in particular.

    Objective To explore the occurrence of potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) and its influencing factors in elderly inpatients in department of general internal medicine. Methods The medical record data of elderly patients (≥65 years) discharged from the Department of General Internal Medicine in Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University between January 1st and December 31st, 2019 were collected. The occurrence of PIM in these patients during hospitalization was evaluated according to the 2019 Beers Criteria of the American Geriatric Association (2019 AGS Beers criteria) and Criteria of Potentially Inappropriate Medications for Older Adults in China (2017 Chinese criteria). Patients were grouped according to their gender, age (<75, ≥75 years), number of diseases (≤5, 6-9, ≥10), number of drugs (1-4, 5-9, ≥10), and length of hospital stay (≤7, 8-14, ≥15 d) and the occurrence of PIM between the groups was compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of PIM, and the odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Results A total of 511 patients were included in the analysis. Of them, 257 were males and 254 were females, aged 65-103 years with a median age of 75 years; the number of drugs ranged from 2 to 75, with a median number of 18; number of diseases ranged from 1 to 27, with a median number of 11; length of hospital stay ranged from 3 to 73 days, with a median time of 12 days. According to the 2019 AGS Beers criteria, the incidence of PIM was 56.56% (289/511), involving 30 drugs and 618 times of drug administration. The top 3 drugs were diuretics (42.72%, 264/618), benzodia- zepines and benzodiazepine receptor agonists (16.34%, 101/618), and anticholinergic drugs (12.62%, 78/618). According to the 2017 Chinese criteria, the incidence of PIM was 55.19% (282/511), involving 31 drugs and 496 times of drug administration. The top 3 drugs were benzodiazepines and benzodiazepine receptor agonists (20.36%, 101/496), theophylline drugs (19.96%, 99/496), and clopidogrel (17.34%, 86/496). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that age (≥75 years), number of drugs (≥5), number of disea- ses (≥10), and length of hospital stay (>7 days) were risk factors for PIM (P<0.001 for all). Conclusions The incidence of PIM in elderly inpatients in Department of General Internal Medicine in our hospital were similar using the 2 criteria, but the drugs involved were different. Using different criteria to evaluate PIM can complement each other and help pharmacists find more PIM.

    Wide use of loop diuretics in patients with cardio-renal syndrome may cause loop diuretic resistance, that means the patients′reactions to loop diuretics decline. The mechanisms of loop diuretic resistance are the decrease of renal perfusion, the changes of kidney structure, the excessive activation of neurohormones, the abnormal reaction of tubule-glomerular feedback, sodium retention after diuretic therapy, and hypoproteinemia. Treatment principles for loop diuretic resistance are avoidance of excessive diuretic therapy, continuous and constant infusion of loop diuretics, combined use of drugs to increase renal blood flow, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, positive correction for hypoproteinemia, combined use of different diuretics, application of new diuretics, and blood purification, etc.

    ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors of adverse drug reactions related to iodinated contrast medium.MethodsAll the hospitalized patients, who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from April 20th 2013 to July 20th 2013 in Beijing Hospital, were investigated using a questionnaire on usage of iodinated contrast medium designed by the research group. The investigation included patients′ basic information, main discharge diagnosis, information on surgery, combined drugs, the results of laboratory tests before and after using iodinated contrast medium, and information on adverse drug reactions and adverse events. The questionnaire was filled in by the research group according to the patient′s subjective feelings one day after surgery and on discharge and the medical records. Using the patient′s sex, age, body mass index (BMI), CAG or PCI, usage of iodinated contrast medium, allergic history, history of drinking, coexisting diseases, kinds of iodinated contrast medium used this time, and combined drugs as independent variables, the whole iodinated contrast medium-related adverse reactions and adverse reactions of single system were studied by the single-factor analysis. The significant statistical variables were selected and the logistic regression analysis including odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) was performed. ResultsTotally 581 patients were enrolled into this study; 364 were men (62.7%) and 217 women (38.3%) with an average age of (65±12) years (29-90). The patients′ levels of BMI were 15.8-41.0 kg/m2 with an average level of (25.5±3.4) kg/m2. Of them, 338 patients (58.2%) underwent CAG and 243 patients (41.8%) underwent PCI. The number of patients receiving iohexol injection (Shuangbei), iohexol injection (Omnipaque), iodixanol injection (Visipaque), and iopromide injection (Ultravist) were 173 (29.8%), 160 (27.5%), 164 (28.2%), and 84 (14.5%), respectively. And the dosage of iodinated contrast medium was 23-500 ml with an average dose of (136±77) ml. Of the 581 patients, 69 patients (11.9%) developed iodinated contrast medium-related adverse reactions. The incidences of Shuangbei, Omnipaque, Visipaque, and Ultravist were respectively 12.7% (22/173), 7.5% (12/160), 18.3% (30/164), and 6.0% (5/84) and there were no statistically significant differences among the different kinds (P<0.05, P<0.01). The 69 patients experienced 88 adverse reactions in total including 60 mild reactions and 28 moderate reactions. These reactions involved skin and accessories (23 reactions, 26.1%), central and peripheral nervous system (17 reactions, 19.4%), gastro-intestinal system (14 reactions, 15.9%), autonomic nervous system (12 reactions, 13.6%), urinary system (12 reactions, 13.6%), systemic disorders (8 reactions, 9.1%), and musculoskeletal system (2 reactions, 2.3%). The logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors of skin and accessories disorders were duration of hospital stay (OR=1.083, 95%CI: 1.024-1.146, P=0.005), history of liver disease (OR=4.483, 95%CI: 1.815-11.072, P=0.001), and allergic history (OR=5.686, 95%CI: 2.136-15.135, P=0.001); the risk factors of gastro-intestinal system disorders were history of liver disease (OR=3.879, 95%CI: 1.110-13.552, P=0.034) and insulin use (OR=3.764, 95%CI: 1.087-12.027, P=0.036); the risk factors of central and peripheral nervous system disorders was allergic history (OR=6.778, 95%CI: 1.187-38.685, P=0.031); the risk factors of urinary system disorders was anti-infective drug use (OR=6.918, 95%CI: 1.425-33.589, P=0.016); the risk factors of musculoskeletal system disorders was BMI (OR=0.608, 95%CI: 0.376-0.984, P=0.043); the risk factors of the systemic reactions were history of liver disease (OR=2.925, 95%CI: 1.412-6.061, P=0.004), having PCI (OR=2.546, 95%CI: 1.071-6.054, P=0.034), underweight (OR=10.743, 95%CI: 2.040-56.572, P=0.005), and allergic history (OR=2.925, 95%CI: 1.191-7.183, P=0.019).ConclusionsThe main risk factors of adverse drug reactions related to iodinated contrast medium to different system were different. The main systemic risk factors of the iodinated contrast medium-related adverse reactions were history of liver disease, underweight, and allergic history.

    Oxaliplatin is commonly used in treatment or adjuvant therapy of metastatic colorectal cancer. Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy is a sensory neuropathy characterized by peripheral neuritis with dose-limiting and dose-dependent manner. The incidence of acute oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy is 86% to 95% and its occurrence is related to the oxalate which is one of oxaliplatin metabolites in the body. The clinical manifestations are mainly reversible extremities paresthesia and dysesthesia induced or exacerbated by the cold stimulation. Oxaliplatin-induced chronic peripheral neuropathy, with accumulative and reversible manner, may be related to the drug-induced nerve cell damage and the change of pain signal modulation and transmission, and its incidence rate is dose-related. The clinical manifestations include peripheral sensory function decrease or absence, upper and lower extremity numbness, and even physical dysfunction. The neurotoxicity of oxaliplatin can be prevented or reduced by the avoidance of the cold stimulation during treatment, appropriate extension of the drug infusion period and the application of certain drugs.

    The overexpression of programmed cell death 1 receptor (PD-1) on the surface of T cells and programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) secreted by tumor cells in tumor tissue inhibits the cellular immune response to a certain degree, so that the growth of tumor cells can escape the surveillance and clearance of the immune system. PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors are specific protein antibodies designed for the expression of PD-1 or PD-L1, which can prevent the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 on tumor cells, thus partially restore T cell function and enhance tumor cell killing by T cells. However, because of the increasingly prominent drug resistance of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in clinical applications, their efficacy cannot be sustained or even there were non-response to drugs in some patients. Recent studies have found that the expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 is regulated by many immune factors, and the transport and degra-  dation processes of PD-L1 are also affected by many factors, such as glycosylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and so on. The researches on the regulatory factors that may interfere in the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway will help to develop new treatment strategies to overcome drug resistance of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in tumor, thereby improving the efficacy of tumor immunotherapy.

    Facing the unprecedented epidemic situation of novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19), medical workers in China have not only successfully controlled the spread of the epidemic in Chinese mainland in just 4 months, but also have made great achievements in scientific research on COVID-19. In the past 4 months, a total of 1-033 English papers about COVID-19 written by Chinese scholars have been published and included in PubMed database, which is 6.6 times the number of articles published in 2003. The proportion of papers published by authors in Chinese mainland has increased from 48.7% (76/156) during the SARS epidemic in 2003 to 84.8% (876/1-033) with 4 months in 2020. The papers were also published significantly earlier than before. Chinese researchers identified the novel coronavirus that caused the outbreak less than 1 month after the COVID-19 outbreak (on January 7, 2020) and reported it to the WHO. They also published articles on the genetic sequence and transmission dynamics of the virus and clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients in that month. China pays more attention to drug safety of patients. The proportion of English and Chinese literature published by pharmaceutical authors increased from 0 and 0.2% (10/4-023) in 2003 to 2.3% (24/1-032) and 9.3% (215/2-317) from January to April in 2020, respectively. China has not only become a model for the world in epidemic control, but also made important contributions to the relevant academic research.

    ObjectiveTo explore the role of CRUSADE score for evaluating the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding due to antiplatelet agents.MethodsThe hospitalized patients with coronary heart disease and received antiplatelet therapy for more than 1 year before hospitalization in department of internal medicine in the Third People′s Hospital of Cixi, Zhejiang Province from September 2010 to September 2013 were enrolled into the study. The patients were divided into the gastrointestinal bleeding group and the non-gastrointestinal bleeding group according to whether gastrointestinal bleeding occurred due to antiplatelet agents. The CRUSADE score was evaluated in the 2 groups and the relationship between the CRUSADE score and gastrointestinal bleeding was analyzed.ResultsA total of 787 patients with coronary heart disease who received antiplatelet therapy more than 1 year were collected. Forty patients with gastrointestinal bleeding were enrolled into the gastrointestinal bleeding group. One hundred and sixty patients were enrolled into the non-gastrointestinal bleeding group by equidistant sampling method randomly. The gastrointestinal bleeding group comprised 31 male and 9 female with age from 45 to 88 (71±9) years. The non-gastrointestinal bleeding group comprised 100 male and 60 female with age from 36 to 89 (65±13) years. There was statistically significant difference in age between the 2 groups (P<0.05). The percentage of cases of receiving aspirin enteric-coated tablets, clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate tablets, and both the above-mentioned drugs in the gastrointestinal bleeding group and the non-gastrointestinal bleeding group were 55%(22/40),10%(4/40),35%(14/40) and 54%(86/160),7%(11/160), 39%(63/160), respectively. The difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The percentage of cases who had history of gastroin-testinal bleeding and peptic ulcer in the gastrointestinal bleeding group and the non-gastrointestinal bleeding group were 30.0%(12/40) and 11.9%(19/160), respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were 27.5%(11/40) and 27.5%(11/40) cases with the results of CRUSADE score at high risk and very high risk in the gastrointestinal bleeding group, 8.1%(13/160) and 10.6%(17/160) cases in the non-gastrointestinal bleeding group, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) .ConclusionsCRUSADE score can help to evaluate the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with coronary heart disease who received antiplatelet therapy. It is suggested that the patients with coronary heart disease as well as the CRUSADE score of high risk and very high risk should receive the combination of antiplatelet agents and the proton pump inhibitor, in order to prevent or reduce the gastroin-testinal bleeding.

    With the rapid development of the medical industry, patient safety has attracted more and more attention. Medication safety is an important part of patient safety. Research on medication safety of patients started earlier in the United States, a relatively perfect adverse event reporting and risk management mechanism has formed, and a lot of experience on medication safety in the research and practice has been accumulated. Britain and Australia have published their strategies and suggestions on improving medication safety on government websites and achieved certain results. At present, the problem of medication safety in China is still serious, so it is urgent to strengthen the improvement of medication safety. We should learn from the experience of the above countries and make efforts in establishing medication safety teams, making full use of information technology, strengthening the monitoring and reporting of medication risk, using self-assessment projects to improve safety management, and guiding pharmacists to go deep into clinical work, etc., so as to improve the current situation of medication safety in China.

    Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a global public health problem. Slowing disease progression is vital in CKD management, and drug therapy is an important part of the treatment for CKD patients. However, the risk for adverse drug event is higher in patients with CKD due to impaired renal function, prolonged disease duration, presence of multimorbidity and polypharmacy. Therefore, it was recommended to promote medication safety in patients with CKD through the following 4 specific strategies: (1) carrying out more studies to improve evidence-based practice for medication in patients with CKD; (2) conducting dose adjustments according to glomerular filtration rate and continuous drug therapy monitoring to a dynamic management of the dose; (3) implementing multidisciplinary care; (4) utilizing appropriate information technology actively.

    Objective To explore the occurrence and clinical characteristics of thyroid dysfunction caused by sintilimab. Methods The subjects were selected from malignant tumor patients who were treated with sintilimab during hospitalization in the Oncology Department in Heping Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. Electronic medical records of patients meeting the inclusion criteria were collected; the general conditions, sintilimab application, combined medication, and the thyroid function test results before and after sintilimab application were recorded. For patients with thyroid dysfunction, the causal analysis between sintilimab application and the dysfunction was conducted using Naranjo′s causality assessment scale. The clinical characteristics of sintilimab-related thyroid dysfunction were analyzed based on the medical records that had evaluation results of "certainly" or "probably". Results A total of 145 patients were included in the analysis, and 24 (16.6%) had sintilimab-related thyroid dysfunction, with the causality assessment results "probably". Among the 24 patients, 14 were male and 10 were female, aged 37-87 years; 5 were treated with sintilimab monotherapy, 16 were with combination of chemotherapy drugs, and 3 were with combination of targeted drugs. All 24 patients had baseline thyroid function test results, of which 23-had normal thyroid function and 1 had subclinical hyperthyroidism. Twenty-four patients with thyroid dysfunction included 13-hypothyroidisms, 5 subclinical hypothyroidisms, 2 hyperthyroidisms, and 4 subclinical hyperthyroidisms; 11 occurred within 3 treatment cycles; the severity was grade 1 or 2, without obvious clinical symptoms, except that 4 hypothyroidism patients had mild fatigue. The 13-hypothyroidism patients were treated with levothyroxine sodium tablets (levothyroxine), 9 patients recovered or were improved, and 4 patients were with persistent but not worsening condition. Three of the 5 subclinical hypothyroidism patients were treated with levothyroxine, 2 patients recovered and 1 developed subclinical hyperthyroidism later; the remaining 2 patients were given intensive monitoring without medication intervention, and they developed hypothyroidism later, which recovered after treatment with levothyroxine. None of the 6 patients with hyperthyroidism or subclinical hyperthyroidism received any intervention. Of them, 1 patient with subclinical hyperthyroidism was self-healed and 5 patients developed hypothyroidism or subclinical hypothyroidism later. After giving levothyroxine, 3 patients recovered or were improved  and 2 had persistent but not worsening condition. Conclusions Thyroid dysfunction is the most common immune-related adverse events of sintilimab, mainly hypothyroidism. The clinical symptoms are not obvious, and the severity is mostly grade 1 or 2. When using sintilimab, the thyroid function of patients should be routinely monitored. When hypothyroidism occurs, timely supplementation of levothyroxine is recommended, and the prognosis is generally good.

    The elderly are susceptible to a variety of diseases and the problem of multiple medications is common. Therefore, the rational use of medications in the elderly, especially the rational use of antibacterial drugs, is very important. The elderly have unique physiological and pathological characteristics. The decrease of immune function with aging and various factors such as malnutrition, primary disease, decreased mucosal barrier function, weakened cough reflex, and functional changes of the urinary tract system may increase the chance of infection in the elderly. Recommendations for the application of antibacterial drugs in the elderly include strictly grasping of the indications and selecting drug carefully, being alert to adverse drug-drug interactions, paying attention to the safety of drugs in new indications, and formulating individualized therapeutic regimen, etc. The irrational use of antibiotics not only increases the economic burden of patients, but also directly leads to the emergence of bacterial resistance. Clinicians should strictly grasp the indications of antibiotics, monitor the blood drug concentration as much as possible, formulate individualized drug administration plan, and pay attention to medication monitoring, so as to promote the medication safety in the elderly.

    In recent years acute kidney injury(AKI) caused by antiinfective drugs is on an upward trend. Domestic data show that 39.0%54.0% of the cases of drugcaused AKI are related to anti-infective drugs, mainly aminoglycosides, β-lactams, glycopeptides, quinolones, etc. AKI usually occurs a few days or weeks after drug administration. The clinical manifestations include mainly oliguria or non-oliguric renal insufficiency. The pathologic appearance includes acute necrosis of renal tubules and acute interstitial nephritis. The risk factors for anti-infective drug-caused AKI include advanced age, renal insufficiency and combined use of anti-infective drugs with other medicines. If anti-infective drug-caused AKI occur, the drug should be withdrawn immediately and prednisone or renal dialysis given. The clinicians should pay attention to the rational drug use among the high-risk population, avoid high dosage and long-term use of the drug, and monitor the kidney function of patients so as to decrease the incidence of AKI and improve the prognosis.

    Objective: To investigate the influence of digoxin treatment on R - R intervals in the elderly with continuous atrial fibrillation. Method: Concentration of plasma digoxin, frequency of long R - R intervals and pattern of atrioventricular conduction in response to synchronized cardioversion were observed in 84 cases after administration of digoxin. Results: Small doses of digoxin could decrease the ventricular rate and long R- R intervals appeared in 37 cases, accounting for 44 percent. No cases were with second-degree atrioventricular block after the cardioversion. Conclusion: Small doses of digoxin showed the safe and effective control over the ventricular rate. The long R- R intervals may be associated with increased atrioventricular junctional concealed conduction induced by digoxin' s parasympathominetic effect rather than its overdose use. So it would not be considered as an indicator of the withdrawal of the drug.

    A 59-year-old female patient received treatments of improvement of heart function, anti-rheumatism (oral total glucoside of white paeony capsules 0.6 g twice daily, oral iguratimod 25-mg twice daily), and anti-infection, etc. due to rheumatic heart disease, acute exacerbation of chronic cardiac dysfunction, rheumatoid arthritis, and pulmonary infection. Before medication, the prothrombin time (PT) was 15.5-s, and the international normalized ratio (INR) was 1.2. Considering that the patient had valvular heart disease and mural thrombus in the left atrium, oral warfarin 2.5-mg once daily was added the next day. PT was prolonged and INR increased. On the 10th day of warfarin application, her PT was 45.0-s and INR was 4.8. Warfarin was discontinued and the dose of iguratimod was reduced to 25-mg orally once daily. On the 2nd day of warfarin discontinuation, PT was 53.2-s and INR was 5.9; on the 3rd day, PT was 80.8-s and INR was 10.1. Then iguratimod was stopped and vitamin K1 was given. After 3 days, the PT was 22.4-s and INR was 2.0. Later, oral warfarin 2-mg once daily was added due to the disease condition. The PT was 19.8 to 27.4-s and INR was 2.1 to 2.9. It was considered that the prolonged PT in the patients might be related to the combination of iguratimod and warfarin.

    Ceftriaxone is a thirdgeneration cephalosporin antibiotic which is used widely in clinical practice. The common adverse reactions to ceftriaxone are allergic reactions and gastrointestinal disorders. Ceftriaxone also causes hemolytic anemia which is being reported with increasing frequency recently. The authors have searched the foreign and domestic literature, and there have been 21 cases of immune hemolytic anemia caused by ceftriaxone. Of them, there have been 16 cases reported in the foreign literature including 8 deaths, and 5 cases reported in the domestic literature including one death. Generally, the dosage of ceftriaxone is 1~4 g. The time to hemolytic reaction onset is several minutes to days after ceftriaxone administration. Clinical presentations include dizziness, palpitation, short of breath, lumbago with hematuria, proteinuria; hemoglobin values were lower than the normal level, direct Coombs test was positive. The mechanism is attributed to immunecomplex reactions. Ceftriaxoneinduced immune hemolytic anemia is rare, but its mortality is high. If hemolytic reactions occur, ceftriaxone should be stopped, IV dexamethasone and a washed RBC infusion should be administered, and the urine should be alkalised.

    Objective: To evaluate the dose-response relationship and safety of entecavir for treating chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Methods: In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the patients with hepatitis B virus infection and without previous antiviral therapy were assigned to following 3 groups in the ratio of one to one to one: entecavir 0.5 mg/d group, entecavir 0.1 mg/d group, and placebo group. The patients were treated for 28 d. The postdosing follow-up was 56 d. And then the patients in the three groups were treated with entecavir 0.5 mg/d during the 48 weeks open-label treatment phase of the study. The postdosing follow-up was 24 weeks. Results: The entecavir 0.5 mg/d had more potent antiviral activity than that of entecavir 0.1 mg/d, and the HBV DNA breakthrough was slower after discontinuation of the drug. In the end of open-label treatment phase, the HBV DNA levels were decreased to < 0.7 mmol/ml in 81.6% patients, and the rate of HBeAg/anti-Hbe seroconversion was 7.9%. But the HBV DNA levels were increased again in 80% patients after the drug withdrawal. There were no statistically differences (P=0.428) in the incidence of adverse events between the entecavir therapy group and placebo group, the serious adverse reactions related to the entecavir were not found during the open-label treatment phase. Conclusion: Entecavir has potent antiviral activity against HBV, and its antiviral effect is related to the dosage. The entecavir 0.5 mg/d is more effective and safer in treating patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection.

    ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors for linezolid-associated thrombocytopenia. Methods The clinical data of 162 in-patients receiving linezolid for infections in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from January 2011 to July 2012 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the thrombocytopenia group and the normal platelet group according to the platelet count after linezolid administration. The main analytic indicators included sex, age, body weight,platelet count, serum creatinine clearance rate (Ccr),levels of albumin, hemoglobin, alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) before linezolid administration, dosage, administration route and duration of linezolid therapy, and the situation of drug combination. The correlated variables which affected platelet count were analyzed by t test, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test, respectively. The selected risk factors were analyzed by stepwise Logistic regression, and the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. ResultsOne hundred and sixty-two patients comprised 113 male and 49 female with average age of (57.2±16.1) years. All of them received IV infusion of linezolid 600 mg twice daily. The duration of linezolid therapy was 1-46 days and the median time was 6 days. The platelet normal group comprised 115 cases and the thrombocytopenia group comprised 47 cases. The median time of thrombocytopenia onset in 47 patients was 4.5 days, the average count of platelet was (53±29)×109/L, the cases who developed mild, moderate and severe thrombocytopenia were 25,10 and 12, respectively. Stepwise Logistic regression analysis revealed the following results: before drug administration, the OR and 95% CI for Ccr<50 ml/min were 6.75 and 2.93~15.58, P=0.000; the OR and 95% CI for platelet count<100×109/L were 4.54 and 1.53~13.50, P=0.006; the OR and 95% CI for AST>75 U/L were 2.73 and 1.07~6.99, P=0.036; the OR and 95% CI for duration of linezolid therapy>14 days were 4.00 and 1.40~11.39, P=0.009. ConclusionThe Ccr and platelet count below normal, the AST level above normal before linezolid administration and the duration of linezolid therapy over 14 days may be the risk factors for linezolid-associated thrombocytopenia.

    Two male patients developed acute renal failure after receiving an IV infusion of andrographolide injection.The first patient, a 29-year-old patient, received an IV infusion of andrographolide 0.5 g for a fever. He developed lumbago after the infusion. His SCr was 142 μmol/L in the evening at that day. The next day, he was hospitalized and his SCr was 219 μmol/L. On day 2 of hospitalization, the patient’s SCr was 332 μmol/L. Acute renal failure was diagnosed. Fluid replacement and symptomatic therapy were given. Three days later, his SCr decreased to 244 μmol/L. On day 7 of hospitalisation, his SCr decreased to 149 μmol/L. After 9 days of hospilisation, the patient was discharged, and his lumbago disappeared. A followup 10 days after discharge, his renal function normalized.The second patient, a 25-year-old man, received an IV infusion of andrographolide 0.25 g and oral azithromycin 0.25 g for a cold.

    ObjectiveTo analyze the status of medication error (ME) of outpatient pharmacy of Beijing Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University and to find effective prevention and control measures.MethodsAs a pilot run hospital of Beijing Municipal Health Bureau ME monitoring system, ME cases were reported since August 2011 by the hospital and ME reports were analyzed monthly to formulate prevention measures. ME cases of outpatient pharmacy, which were reported to Beijing Municipal Health Bureau, from August 2011 to March 2013 were collected. The ME cases were classified according to the ME classification standard of The National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention and the links in which ME cases occurred were analyzed. MEs that occurred from August 2011 to September 2012(the pilot operation stage of the Beijing ME monitoring system) were compared with those from October 2012 to March 2013( the operation stage of Beijing municipal bureau of clinical medication safety monitoring network). The effectiveness of prevention measures was evaluated.ResultsA total of 506 ME cases, accounting for 0.031%(506/1 636 429)of the number of outpatient prescriptions at the same time, were collected. There were 2 cases of category A (potential error problems), 462 cases of category B (errors happened but the drug was not given to patient, or the drug had been given to patient but was not taken), 42 cases of category C (patients had used the drug but not be harmed), and none of categories D-I. Among them, 459 ME cases occurred in the links of prescriptions by doctors including improper usage and dosage(75.16%, 345/459), improper administration route(12.64%, 58/459), improper drug selection(5.88%, 27/459), taking medication within comtraindication(3.05%, 14/459),imcompatibility(2.61%, 12/459), and improper choice of solvents(0.65%, 3/459). Forty-seven ME cases occurred in the links of dispensing prescriptions by pharmacists including sound alike, look alike, adjacent locations, and so on. Aiming to the links of doctors making prescriptions, a supervision model of "four-grade prescription comment and four-grade feedback" was carried out since October 2012 and the rate of qualified prescriptions was increased effectively. The proportion of ME cases in the links of prescriptions by doctors in all the prescription cases during the same period decreased from 0.035% (398/1 139 613) in the pilot operation stage to 0.012% (61/496 816) in the operation stage. Aiming to the links of dispensing prescriptions by pharmacists, many kinds of measures were carried out to improve the identification of easily confused drugs. The incidence of ME in the links of dispensing prescriptions by pharmacists decreased from 0.004% (40/1 139 613) in the pilot operation stage to 0.001% (7/496 816) in the operation stage.ConclusionThe ME cases in outpatient pharmacy of Beijing Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were mainly category B and C and mostly occurred in the links of prescriptions by doctors. The main type of ME was usage and dosage. The supervision model of "four-grade prescription comment and four-grade feedback" could effectively prevent the ME in the links of prescriptions by doctors.

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of hyponatremia associated with cyclophosphamide (CTX). Methods The diagnosis and management of a breast cancer patient with severe hyponatremia after CTX treatment in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College was reported. The main clinical data of this patient and the relevant cases collected by searching PubMed, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang database (as of January 26, 2021), including gender, age, indications of CTX, usage and dosage of CTX, time from the application of CTX to the occurrence of hyponatremia (latency), and clinical manifestations, treatment and outcome of severe hyponatremia, etc., was descriptively analyzed. Results A total of 34 patients were included in the analysis, including 4 males and 30 females, aged from 27 to 87 years with the median age of 56 years. The primary disease were malignant tumor in 22 cases (17 cases of breast cancer), systemic lupus erythematosus in 6 cases, glomerulonephritis in 3 cases, scleroderma in 2 cases, and monoclonal gamma globulinosis in 1 case. Among the 34 patients, 22, 8 and 1 of 31 patients who received CTX intravenously developed severe hyponatremia after the first, second and seventh dose of treatments, respectively. Among them, 27 cases had latency records, which were 3-96-h (median time 24-h) and 25 cases had latency ≤48-h. The latency of severe hyponatremia induced by oral CTX was 1 d, 21 d and 30 d, respectively. The lowest value of blood sodium in 34 patients was 102-124-mmol/L, and in 30 patients (88.2%) were less than 120-mmol/L. The main clinical manifestations were disturbance of consciousness (20 cases), nausea and vomiting (17 cases), and epileptic seizures (15 cases). Twenty-two cases (64.7%) underwent hydration rehydration in a short time before and after CTX treatment, 1 case did not undergo hydration rehydration, and 11 cases had no relevant descriptions. After severe hyponatremia occurrence, CTX treatment was discontinued in all 34 patients. After sodium supplementation and water restriction, blood sodium returned to normal 8 h ~ 24 d (median time 48-h) after drug withdrawal, and returned to normal within 5 d in 27 cases (79.4%). Of them, one patient was still in coma after blood sodium returned to normal, and was diagnosed with central pontine myelinolysis one week later. Conclusions CTX-associated severe hyponatremia mostly occurs within 48-h of intravenous administration and the latency of oral administration is longer. It occurs usually in patients with large amount of hydration and rehydration in a short time before and after medication. The prognosis in most patients is good when CTX is stopped, sodium is supplemented and water is limited.

    Objective To mine and evaluate the adverse reaction risk signals of omeprazole, and provide reference for the safe application of the drug. Methods Data cleansing on all adverse reactions of omeprazole collected in the Shandong Provincial Center for Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring database from January 2018 to December 2021 was performed, and information on patients′ gender, age, drug administration routes, and the systems/organs involved, clinical manifestations, and outcomes of adverse reactions was collected. The risk signals of adverse reactions associated with omeprazole were mined and evaluated using reporting odds ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), and Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) comprehensive standard methods. The risk signal judgment criteria for ROR and PRR methods were the number of reports ≥3, and the lower limit of 95% confidence interval (CI) of ROR or PRR>1, and that of MHRA method was the number of reports≥ 3, PRR≥2, and χ2≥4. Results A total of 2-706 adverse reaction reports with omeprazole as suspect drug were entered, including 234-severe adverse reactions (8.7%). Of them, 1-270 were male (46.9%) and 1-432 female (52.9%); the median age was 58 years, including 86 patients under 18 years old, 1-417 cases between 18-60 years old, and 1 203 cases over 60 years old. A total of 17-systems or organs were involved in adverse reaction related to omeprazole, and the top 5 were gastrointestinal system [1-412 cases (37.6%)], skin and its accessories [883 cases (23.5%)], nervous system [716 cases(19.1%)], respiratory system [269 cases (7.2 %)], and systemic system [207 cases (5.5%)]. The median occurrence time of adverse reactions from medication was 30-minutes, and 1 710 cases (63.2%) occurred within 1 day after medication. After treatments, 1-595 patients (58.9%) recovered, 1 098 patients (40.6%) were improved, and no deaths were reported. Twenty-seven risk signals were mined by ROR and PRR methods, respectively, and 21 by MHRA method. The top 5 adverse reactions in signal intensity mined using the ROR method were gastrointestinal bloating, headache, constipation, tongue numbness, and joint pain; the top 5 adverse reactions in signal intensity mined using the PRR method were gastrointestinal bloating, headache, constipation, tongue numbness, and dizziness; the top 5 adverse reactions in signal intensity mined using the MHRA method were gastrointestinal bloating, headache, constipation, bloating, and dry mouth. Among them, the signals not mentioned in the labels were chest tightness, chills, cyanosis, mouth numbness, overall trembling, and tongue numbness. Conclusions The adverse reactions of omeprazole involve multiple systems/organs, and common adverse reactions include gastrointestinal bloating, headache, constipation, etc. Risk signals such as chest tightness, chills, cyanosis, numbness of the mouth, trembling of the whole body, and numbness of the tongue are not recorded in the labels, which should be vigilant and intervened in time in clinics.

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of hand-foot syndrome(HFS) induced by apatinib. Methods Case reports of HFS induced by apatinib were collected through sear- ching PubMed, VIP, CNKI, and Wanfang databases (up to March 20, 2019). The clinical characteristics of HFS induced by apatinib were analyzed according to the literature above and the information from 2 related patients admitted to Kailuan General Hospital. Results A total of 16 patients were enrolled in the study, including 9 males and 7 females, aged (62±16) years. Apatinib was applied for gastric cardia cancer in 4 patients, lung cancer in 4 patients, ovarian cancer in 2 patients, thyroid cancer in 2 patients, and other malignant tumors in 4 patients. And it was used alone in 11 patients and in combination with other antineoplastic agents in 5 patients. Dosages of apatinib included 850-mg/d in 3 patients, 500-mg/d in 6 patients, 425-mg/d in 1 patient, and 250-mg/d in 6 patients (the dose was increased to 500-mg/d in 2 patients after 1 and 2 weeks of administration, respectively). According to the severity, HFS was classified as grade 1 in 2 patients (12.5%), grade 2 in 6 patients (37.5%), and grade 3 in 8 patients (50.0%). Except that the time from application of apatinib to HFS occurrence was not known in 1 patient, the median time from medication to HFS occurrence was 3 (1-11) weeks in other 15 patients, and 10 (66.7%) of them developed HFS within 3 weeks of administration. In addition to the skin lesions of HFS, the skin/mucous membrane damage also appeared on perianal area, genital, axillary fossa, groin, and mouth in 5 patients. Among the 16 patients, 13-had other adverse events, including hypertension in 10 patients (62.5%). The symptoms of 8 patients with HFS of grade 1-2 mostly improved or were tolerable after symptomatic treatments. And in detail, 3 patients′ symptoms had no effect on the treatment of apatinib, 4 patients could tolerate a reduced dose or re-medication after a pause, and 1 patient stopped medication. Symptomatic treatment effects were poor in 8 patients with grade 3 HFS, 4 of whom stopped apatinib because of the serious HFS and 3 of whom died. Conclusions The HFS induced by apatinib usually occurs within 3 weeks after administration, which can involve many parts of the body except for the skin of hands and feet, and are accompanied with hypertension mostly. HFS symptoms can be relieved by symptomatic treatments, reasonable dose reduction, or drug withdrawal in most patients.

    A 58-year-old female patient received cyclosporine 75-mg twice daily orally for dermatomyositis. Seven days later, the patient developed chest pain and dyspnea suddenly. Her oxygen saturation was 79% and the blood pressure was 190/125-mmHg. Laboratory tests showed her brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) 1 470.0 ng/L. The electrocardiogram showed a tall and sharp T-wave in the precordial lead. Chest X-ray showed enlarged heart shadow and suffused shadow in the right lung. The patient was diagnosed as acute left ventricular failure, which was considered to be related to cyclosporine. Cyclosporine was discontinued immediately. After the treatments with oxygen inhalation and IV infusions of methylprednisolone 80-mg and IV injection of furosemide 80-mg for 8 days, her symptoms improved and the BNP decreased to 318.0 ng/L. Then she received tacrolimus 2-mg twice daily orally for dermatomyositis. On day 2 of dermatomyositis treatment, she felt chest tightness and her BNP increased to 1-010.0 ng/L. Lefe ventricular failure induced by tacrolimus was considered. Tacrolimus was stopped immediately and the symptomatic treatments such as diuresis were given. On day 3 of dermatomyositis withdrawal, her chest tightness disappeared and the BNP decreased to 57.5 ng/L.

    A 73yearold man received a prolonged treatment with warfarin after undergoing mitral valve replacement, and his international normalized ratio(INR) was maintained between 2.0~3.0. The patient received capecitabine chemotherapy due to stomach cancer. During the second cycle of the chemotherapy, he developed hemorrhagic blisters on his feet, nose bleeding, ecchymoses on his buttock, melena, and gross hematuria, and his INR increased. Warfarin was withdrawn immediately. Bleeding stopped after administration of fresh frozen plasma replacement and vitamin K1. The INR was maintained between 1.5~2.5 after the dosages of warfarin and capecitabine were decreased, and the chemotherapy continued and no further bleeding occurred. The increased anticoagulant effect of warfarin may be associated with the capecitabineinduced suppression of cytochrome P450 2C9 isoenzyme. A review of the literature indicates bleeding occurring in patient receiving warfarin plus capecitabine usually is within 2~6 weeks after initiation of the combined chemotherapy. The most common hemorrhage is gastrointestinal bleeding. In order to avoid bleeding occurring, prothrombin time (PT) and INR should be closely monitored, and the dosage of warfarin should be individualized.

    A 7-year-old boy coughed for 7 days. His parents fed him fresh and ripe cocklebur fruit (Fructus Xanthii) once which was picked and fried by themselves (unknown dose). On the 3rd day after feeding the cocklebur fruit, the boy developed paroxysmal epigastric pain, with vomiting, anorexia, fatigue, drowsiness, and low fever. The laboratory tests showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 3-344-U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 3-501-U/L, serum total bilirubin (TBil) 26.5 μmol/L, direct bilirubin (DBil) 19.0 μmol/L, albumin (ALB) 32.8-g/L, and blood ammonia 120-μmol/L. On the 6th day after feeding the cocklebur fruit, the boy developed aggravated fatigue, irritability, slightly slow response, and light yellowish staining of sclera. The laboratory tests showed ALT 4-565-U/L, AST 4-335-U/L, TBil 32.9-μmol/L, DBil 23.4-μmol/L, ALB 30.2-g/L, and blood ammonia 124-μmol/L. Acute liver failure due to cocklebur fruit poisoning was considered. The boy received blood purification therapy (2 plasmapheresis and 4 days′ hemodiafiltration) and symptomatic treatments. The laboratory tests showed ALT 1-043-U/L, AST 203-U/L, TBil 22.0-μmol/L, DBil 12.3-μmol/L, ALB 39.1-g/L, and blood ammonia 36.3-μmol/L. The blood purification therapy was stopped and the symptomatic treatments was continued. The laboratory tests 2 weeks later showed ALT 24-U/L, AST 35-U/L, TBil 13.8-μmol/L, DBil 4.6-μmol/L, and ALB 47.3-g/L.

    Objective: To investigate ADR knowledge among health professionals(HP) at Haidian district in Beijing. Methods: By cluster sampling, a questionnaire survey was conducted in 947 subjects of 17 hospitals. Results: 44.9 percent of all subjects showed that they knew clearly the adverse reactions to the drugs they ever used, and over 60% of subjects could pass a right judgment on ADR. Most of HP believed that the ADR reporting should be necessary and practicable. HP aged 35-45 had richer knowledge of ADR than other age groups (x2=21.73,P<0.05). The scores of ADR knowledge were significantly different among the HP in hospitals at different rating (x2=11.68,p<0.05). Conclusion: It is now urgent to provide more training courses for HP in order to elevate their levels of ADR knowledge.

    Objective: To study the dose-effect and time-effect relations to spermatogenic cell apoptosis of rats induced by hydroxyurea. Methods:In the dose-effect study, 25 male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups (5 rats in each groups). Of the 5 groups, 4 were the test groups and 1 was the control group. Each of the four test groups was administered with a different dose of hydroxyurea (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg, and 600 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection, respectively. The control group was administered with phosphatebuffered solution 2 ml/kg. All rats were killed 12 hours after dosing. In the timeeffect study, 20 male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups(5 rats in each groups). Of the 4 groups, 3 were the test groups and 1 was the blank control group. The three test groups were administered with hydroxyurea 400 mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection. All rats were killed 6, 12, and 24 hours after dosing. The dead rats and their testes were weighed. The testes were fixed in Bouin's solution and then stained with hematoxylineosin. Morphological changes were observed under light microscope. The TUNEL staining of apoptotic cells and PAS staining for glycogen were performed. The number of apoptotic cells was counted and the stages of seminiferous epithelial cycle were analysed. Results: There were no significant changes in weights of body and testis 6, 12, and 24 hours after dosing compared with before dosing. The results of the doseeffect study showed the rates of apoptoticpositive seminiferous tubule and apoptotic index were markedly elevated with the increase in doses, especially in 400 mg/kg \[(38.7±2.0)% and (496.4±66.8), respectively\] (P<0.01). The results of the timeeffect study showed the mean number of apoptoticpositive spermatogenic cell and apoptotic index reached a peak at 12 hours after dosing \[(12.9±2.10) and (496.4±66.8), respectively\] compared with the control group. TUNELpositive cells were mainly in stage Ⅰ~Ⅳ of seminiferous cycle. Conclusion: The spermatogenic cell apoptosis of rats induced by hydroxyurea is cell-specific and stage-specific.

    Objective To systematically evaluate the safety of immune checkpoint inhibitor ipilimumab combined with chemotherapy for advanced solid tumors. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of ipilimumab combined with chemotherapy (the trial group) versus placebo combined with chemotherapy (the control group) for advanced solid tumors were collected by searching related databases (up to April 30, 2020). The outcome indicators were treatment-related adverse events (AEs), including fatigue, rash, nausea, diarrhea, neutropenia, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation, and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation. The methodological quality of studies was evaluated using the Cochrane collaboration risk of bias tool. RevMan 5.3-software and R software was used in meta-analysis and the effect values were expressed as relative risk (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). Results A total of 5 RCTs (2 for non-small cell lung cancer, 2 for small cell lung cancer, and 1 for metastatic melanoma) were entered in this study, involving 2-532 patients, in which 1-335 patients were in the trial group and 1-197 patients in the control group. The results of quality evaluation showed that 5 RCTs were all high-quality studies. The results of meta-analysis showed that the incidences of treatment-related grade 1-5 AEs and grade 3-5 AEs in the trial group were significantly higher than those in the control group [87.27% (1-165/1-335) vs. 82.04% (982/1-197), RR=1.07, 95%CI: 1.03-1.10, P<0.001; 50.26% (671/1-335) vs. 37.68% (451/1-197), RR=1.40, 95%CI: 1.07-1.82, P=0.010]. However, the results of subgroup analysis showed that the difference in incidences of treatment-related grade 1-5 AEs and grade 3-5 AEs were statistically significant only in patients with metastatic melanoma between the trial group and the control group [98.79% (244/247) vs. 94.02% (236/251), RR=1.05, 95%CI: 1.02-1.09, P=0.005; 56.28%(139/247) vs. 27.89%(70/251), RR=2.02, 95%CI: 1.61-2.53, P<0.001]. The analysis of common AEs showed that the risks of rash, diarrhea, and liver injury increased in the trial group (all P<0.05) and the difference in treatment-related death between the 2 groups was not statistically significant [1.05%(14/1-335) vs. 0.42%(5/1-197),χ2=3.374, P=0.066]. Conclusion The risk of AEs in patients with advanced solid tumors treated with combination of ipilimumab and chemotherapy is higher than that with chemotherapy alone, especially the immune-related AEs, which deserves clinical vigilance.

    A 49-year-old female patient took febuxostat 20-mg once daily orally due to chronic kidney disease and hyperuricemia. On day 9 of medication, the patient developed facial hot flashes, and then purplish red maculopapules gradually appeared on the head, face, trunk, and both lower limbs. The rash were aggravated and spread gradually all over the body, involving the eyes, mouth, and vaginal mucosa. Lysis blisters appeared at the waist, and the area of epidermalysis was less than 10%. Laboratory tests showed white blood cell count 2.1×109/L, neutrophil count 1.7×109/L, hemoglobin 59-g/L, platelet count 97×109/L, C-reactive protein 105.6-mg/L; serum creatinine 1-062-μmol/L, and uric acid 647-μmol/L; human leukocyte antigen B*5801 allele was positive. Severe erythema multiforme induced by febuxostat was considered. Febuxostat was stopped immediately and treatments including protective isolation care, methylprednisolone, immunoglobulin, hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion were given. On day 16 of treatments, black scab was found on the lip mucosa, and 30% skin scab peeled off. After 19 days of treatments, most of the scabs of whole body fell off, and new skin was visible. Laboratory tests showed that white blood cell count and platelet count returned to normal, C-reactive protein was 2.41-mg/L, serum creatinine was 582-μmol/L, and uric acid was 424-μmol/L.

    Objective To investigate the prevalence, clinical characteristics, risk factors, and prognosis of chronic drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Methods A multicenter, open, retrospective, non-interventional epidemiological survey was conducted. According to the inclusion criteria, patients with DILI and hospitalized in 308-hospitals in China from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014 were enrolled, and medical records of the patients were collected. The patients with DILI were divided into chronic and acute DILI groups. The clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, and prognosis in patients of the 2 groups were compared, and the suspected drugs that induced the liver injury were analyzed. Univariate and multiva- riate logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the influencing factors of chronic DILI. Results A total of 25-927 patients were enrolled in the study, including 22-556 (87%) with acute DILI (acute DILI group) and 3-371 (13%) with chronic DILI (chronic DILI group). In the chronic DILI group, there were high proportion of women and the patients were older in age; more patients were with a history of liver disease and the time from medication to DILI was longer; more patients had digestive system symptoms (including loss of appetite, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, etc.), fatigue, jaundice, pruritus, liver pain/discomfort, bleeding tendency; the alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, and international normalized ratio were higher, while the serum albumin and platelet counts were lower; the proportion of patients with model for end-stage liver disease score ≥ 15 was higher; the all-cause mortality rate and liver disease-related mortality rate were higher, compared with the acute DILI group. The differences above-mentioned were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male was protective factor [odds ratio (OR)=0.76, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.69-0.83], while previous liver disease history (OR=2.00, 95%CI: 1.82-2.19) and hypoalbuminemia (OR=0.96, 95%CI: 0.95-0.96) were independent risk factors for chronic DILI. Conclusions In the study period, the proportion of chronic DILI among DILI inpatients is 13.0% in the 308 hospitals. Compared with those with acute DILI, more chronic DILI patients were female, and patients with chronic DILI have higher ages, severer conditions, and poorer prognoses; female, previous liver disease history, and hypoalbuminemia are independent risk factors for chronic DILI.

    Oxaliplatin is the third generation of platinum drugs, used in chemotherapy of colorectal carcinoma. Oxaliplatin can injure hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells to induce hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS). The incidence of oxaliplatin induced HSOS was 77.4%. The clinical manifestations were hepatalgia, weight gain, ascites, hepatomegaly and jaundice. Histopathologic features include hepatic sinusoidal dilation and congestion, centrilobular vein obstruction, perisinusoidal fibrosis and centrilobular hepatic cell necrosis. The lack of typical imaging manifestations, biomarkers and effective treatment, so prevention-oriented strategy is important. Bevacizumab, regorafenib, sorafenib, recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin, and antioxidant may prevent HSOS. Defibrotide is recommended for treatment of HSOS.

    A 31-year-old female patient accidentally found a bean-sized lump under the right buttock, causing slight pain when pressing. Ultrasound examination revealed multiple cystic nodules of varying sizes in the subcutaneous fat layer of the right buttock. The patient underwent right buttock mass resection and was diagnosed as foreign body granuloma according to the postoperative pathology and medical history. Five years ago, the patient received bilateral intramuscular injection of progesterone (10-15-mg once daily) into the buttocks for 3 months due to threatened miscarriage. Afterwards, no other medication was injected into the buttocks. Therefore, it was considered that the foreign body granuloma in her buttock was related to the injection of progesterone. Two months later, the patient underwent extended resection of soft tissue tumor under the gluteus maximus muscle of the left buttock, and the postoperative pathological results were the same as that of the first time.

    ABSTRACT Antibioticassociated colitis (AAC) mainly occurs 3 to 14 days after the initiation of antibiotic treatment. The incidence among inpatients is 3%29%. The underlying pathological change of AAC is imbalance of intestinal flora caused by application of broadspectrum antibiotics. The pathogenesis mechanism is that antibiotics suppress the normal intestinal flora, and then excessive growth of pathogenic and resistant bacteria occurs. The main pathogenic bacterium is Clostridium difficile(CD),which produces toxin A and toxin B that injure the intestinal mucosa, make mucin leak, and eventually cause diarrhea. Except CD, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Klebsiella species are also pathogenic bacteria of AAC. According to the clinical manifestations,AAC can be divided into three types: mild type characterized by watery diarrhea, severe type by yellow or light green watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and elevated white blood cells, and fulminant type by diarrhea, high fever, dehydration, hypoproteinemia, toxic shock, intestinal paralysis, even acute intestinal perforation. After the diagnosis of AAC is confirmed, the drugs being in use should be withdrawn immediately. Treatment of metronidazole and vancomycin for 7-10 days can be given, and probiotics can be utilized in addition. For the recurrent cases, vancomycin can be used at a dosage of 125 mg in a regressive manner, and combined with human immune globulin therapy. In order to prevent AAC,the drug indication for antibiotics should be strictly controlled clinically. When the use of broadspectrum antibiotics are neccessary, the intestinal barrier function and normal flora should be monitored. Glutamine and arginine can be added to improve the intestinal immune function.

    There is an increasing tendency for combined use of antischizophrenic drugs in recent years. This paper now briefly reviews the efficacy and safety to clozapine or olanzapine combined with other antischizophrenic drugs. Clozapine in combination with sulpiride is relatively definite in efficacy, but it may cause increased serum prolactin level or aggravated extrapyramidal disorders. Clozapine combined with amisulpride seems to be effective in complete improvement of patients’condition, but increased serum prolactin level may occur. Clinical trials for efficacy and safety of clozapine in combination with risperidone show different results. Olanzapine combined with some other classical antipsychotic drugs may increase some degree of therapeutic effects. Olanzapine in combination with risperidone appear to be beneficial to improvement of symptoms in patients with refractory schizophrenia. The author considers that the benefit and risk of the combinations mentioned above should be evaluated further in order to benefit to rational and safe use of the drugs.

    Objective:To investigate the effects of etimicin plus other antibacterials on renal function in elderly patients with severe pneumonia. Methods:Forty-seven elderly patients with severe pneumonia who were receiving etimicin plus other antibacterials were analysed retrospectively. Of the 47 elderly patients,32 were 60~79 years old,15 were old than 80 years. The changes in serum creatinine (Scr),blood urea nitrogen (BUN),and urine protein were observed before and after treatment,and creatinime clearance rate (Ccr) were calculated. Results:Before etimicin treatment,the mean value of Scr,BUN and Ccr in the 42 patients were 106±26.5 μmol/L,6.3±2.9 mmol/L,and 44±14 ml/min respectively. After etimicin treatment,the mean value of Scr and BUN were reduced to 97±17.7 μmol/L and 5.4±2.6 mmol/L,respectively,and Ccr was elevated to 46±13 ml/min. But there were no statistical differences between before treatment and after treatment in their data (P>0.05). Urine protein was decreased obviously after treatment (P<0.01). Conclusion:There is no marked renal toxicity of etimicin plus other antibacterials in the treatment of the elderly patients with severe pneumonia,so it might be a safer therapy for thepatients.

    为妊娠妇女及乳母处方非甾体抗炎药时,应谨慎权衡利弊。非甾体抗炎药作为前列腺素合成抑制剂可致凝血功能异常、子宫动脉导管收缩并延长产程。水杨酸盐对动物可致畸,但尚缺乏使人致畸的依据。孕妇使用阿司匹林可致分娩时及产前、产后出血,并致新生儿患出血性疾病。一般认为吲哚美辛对胎儿的循环有影响并能致畸,但也尚有争议。而萘普生对胎儿的循环、凝血以及肾脏功能均有影响。布洛芬、保泰松也可引起先天性缺损。因此,该类药物一般应避免使用于妊娠妇女。从物理、化学性质,药动学方面看,虽然大部分非甾体抗炎药在乳汁中的排泌率低,对乳儿的影响不大,但吲哚美辛由于半衰期长、代谢物仍有活性,乳母使用可能会使乳儿发生不良反应。而乳儿发生水杨酸盐毒性反应早有报道。乳儿肝肾功能未健全,乳母阿司匹林用量的21%又可通过乳汁被乳儿摄入,水杨酸盐应为乳母的禁忌药物。

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-related Fanconi syndrome (FS) in patients with HIV infection/AIDS (HIV/AIDS). Methods The medical records of patients with HIV/AIDS who were hospitalized in Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Infectious Diseases from December 2017 to February 2021, treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) containing TDF, and diagnosed as FS were collected by searching hospital information system. Information such as gender, age, body weight, body mass index (BMI), ART treatment regimen and period, time of FS diagnosis, main clinical characteristics, results of laboratory test at admission and discharge, dual energy X-ray bone mineral density (BMD) test results, and interventions and outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 16 HIV/AIDS patients were diagnosed with TDF-related FS in the setting period, including 6 patients with complete FS and 10 with incomplete FS. FS were accompanied with chronic hepatitis C, hypertension, liver cancer, or depression in 7 patients. Sixteen patients received ART containing TDF for a minimum of 20 months and a maximum of 168 months with an average time of 68 months. The initial symptoms of FS were bone pain, fatigue, nausea, anorexia, polydipsia, polyuria, weight loss, etc. The time from initial symptoms to diagnosis of FS was 2 weeks at least, 24 weeks at most, with an average time of 7 weeks. Laboratory test results were as follows: all 16 patients had positive urine glucose under normoglycemic conditions and 14 patients had positive urine protein; 11, 11, 4, and 4 patients had low urine phosphorus, hypocalciuria, hypokalemia, and hyponatruria, respectively; 13, 12, 8, and 7 patients had hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, and hyponatremia, respectively; 11 patients had serum creatinine increase; 10 patients had serum uric acid decrease; 1 patient had serum uric acid increase. Dual energy X-ray BMD detection was performed in 15 patients, of which 2, 2, and 11 patients had normal, reduced, and osteoporotic BMD, respectively. After diagnosis of TDF-related FS, 16 patients stopped using TDF immediately. After replacement of ART protocol without TDF and symptomatic treatment for an average time of 29 days, the above symptoms were alleviated, and some laboratory test indicators returned to the reference value range. The prognosis was good. Conclusions TDF-related FS mostly occurs within 68 months of drug use. The clinical symptoms of FS are nonspecific. Laboratory tests show that urine glucose is positive under normal blood glucose. Most of the patients have low blood phosphorus, low urine phosphorus, hypocalciuria, and osteoporosis. The prognosis is better after discontinuing TDF, replacing therapy with ART regimen without TDF, and giving symptomatic treatments.

The study started on March 20, 2015. Patients in accordance with the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the dabigatran group (dabigatran 110 mg, twice daily) and warfarin group (warfarin dose was adjusted by regular follow-up results to maintain INR in the range of 2.0-3.0). After two years of follow-up, effectiveness of preventing thromboembolism events and occurrence of hemorrhagic events were compared between the two groups; occurrence of extracranial hemorrhage was also compared in patients with different ages (<60 years old group, 60-<80 years old group,  ≥80 years old group) between the two groups.ResultsUp to October 2015, a total of 180 patients were enrolled, including 114 males (63.3%) and 66 females (36.7%); 65 patients (36.1%) were <60 years old, 108 patients (60.0%) were 60-<80 years old, and 7 (3.9%) were ≥80 years old. There were 90 patients in the dabigatran group and in the warfarin group, respectively. During the period of 2-year follow-up, stroke and non-central nervous system embolism occurred in 6 patients and intracranial hemorrhage in 5 patients in each group, extracranial hemorrhage occurred respectively in 12 and 16 patients in the warfarin and dabigatran groups, without statistically significant differences (P>0.05 for all comparisons). Comparisons of the extracranial hemorrhage incidences in patients with different ages between the 2 groups showed that the incidence of extracranial hemorrhage in patients <60 years old in the dabigatran group was lower than that in the warfarin group (11.4% vs. 13.3%); the incidences of extracranial hemorrhage in patients aged 60-<80 and ≥80 years in the dabigatran group were higher than those in the warfarin group (19.6% vs. 12.2%, 50.0% vs. 33.3%, respectively), without statistically significant differences (P>0.05 for all comparisons).ConclusionsThe effectivenessfor preventing stroke and the incidences of hemorrhagic events were respectively similar in elderly atrial fibrillation patients with long-term use of dabigatran and warfarin. The risk of extracranial hemorrhage in very elderly patients needs to be further studied by expanding the sample size.

    A 64-year-old male patient with Parkinson′s disease received long-term use of levodopa and benserazide hydrochloride, piribedil sustained-release tablets, and selegiline. Due to involuntary twisting of head and limbs, amantadine was added and dyskinesia was relieved. Five months later, the patient felt general fatigue and weakness, and the blood sodium was 120-mmol/L. He was given sodium supplementation treatment, and the blood sodium level rose briefly and then decreased again. Excluding other factors that could cause hyponatremia, it was considered that the hyponatremia was caused by syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, which was induced by amantadine. Amantadine was stopped, sodium supplement treatment was continued, and 7 days later, the blood sodium level gradually returned to normal. After stopping sodium supplementation, fatigue and weakness did not recur, and blood sodium level did not decrease at one month of follow-up.

    To observe the influence of intranasal dexmedetomidine premedication on general anesthesia effect and safety in pediatric patients undergoing monocular fundus examination for the first time. Methods Pediatric patients with monocular retinoblastoma (RB) who underwent fundus examination under the general anesthesia for the first time in Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University from October 2018 to April 2019 were divided into the dexmedetomidine group and the control group by random number table method, each group comprised 30 cases. Before entering the operating room, the children in the dexmedetomidine group received intranasal dexmedetomidine 2-μg/kg and 0.9% sodium chloride injection 0.02-ml/kg in the control group, respectively. Thirty minutes later, the children were transferred to the operation room. Their heart rate and pulse oximetry saturation (SpO2) were monitored and recorded. The children in the 2 groups were anesthetized with 8% sevoflurane inhaled through a mask and then placed into a laryngeal mask for maintenance anesthesia by inhaling 2%-3% sevoflurane. Spontaneous breathing was retained during the operation. The heart rate and SpO2 before nasal administration drip (T0), 30-minutes after nasal drip (T1), at the time of laryngeal mask placement (T2), at the beginning of operation (T3), and at the time of laryngeal mask removal (T4) and retention time in post anesthesia care unit (PACU) were compared between the patients in the 2 groups. The children′s separation status from parents when entering the operation room were evaluated by the Parental Separation Anxiety Scale (PSAS), the emergence agitation degree in PACU were evaluated by the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale, and the level of sedation of children at consciousness recovery in PACU were evaluated by Ramsay score. Results The differences of children′s general condition, SpO2 at different time points, and the retention time in PACU between the 2 groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05 for all). Except T0, the heart rates at time points of T1-T4 in the dexmedetomidine group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 for all). Compared with those in the control group, the children in the dexmedetomidine group were more easily separated from their parents when entering the operation room; the PSAS score was lower [(2.40±0.81) vs. (2.93±0.87), P=0.018]; the incidence of restlessness during the consciousness recovery period was lower [ (16.7%, 5/30) vs. (63.3%, 19/30), P<0.001]; Ramsay score was higher [(3.2±0.7) vs. (1.9±0.6), P<0.001]; and PAED score was lower [6 (2, 12) vs. 12 (5, 8), P<0.001]. Conclusions Intranasal dexmedetomidine premedication can reduce children′s anxiety degree of separation from parents when entering the operation room and the incidence of emergence agitation during recovery period after general anesthesia, and did not prolong the retention time in PACU. It is suggested that intranasal dexmedetomidine premedication is effective and safe in general anesthesia for ultra-short daytime ophthalmological ambulatory surgery in children.

    Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength that may predispose to an increased risk of fracture, which can seriously decrease the patient’s quality of life and healthy status. The common drugs causing osteoporosis are oral anticoagulants, calcineurin inhibitors, potent diuretics, proton pump inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, aromatase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, glucocorticoids, antiepileptic drugs, etc. The main mechanisms may involve promoting bone resorption, inhibition of bone formation and bone mineralization. Drug-induced osteoporosis is diagnosed by a bone mineral density test. The effective measures for preventing and treating drug-induced osteoporosis include rational drug use, regularly monitoring of bone mineral density, shortening the duration of therapy, and patients should be administered calcium, vitamin D supplementation, bisphosphonate, calcitonin, selective estrogen receptor modulator, and so on.

    Febuxostat is a new type of selective xanthine oxidase inhibitor, which mainly be used for the treatment of hyperuricemia patients with gout symptoms. The recommended initial dose of febuxostat is 40 mg once daily. In the present, there is no sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the clinical effects of febuxostat in reducing the uric acid are better than that of allopurinol. However, it is reported that febuxostat in 80 mg has better treatment effects in gout patients with diabetes or ≥ 65 years old. The common adverse reactions of febuxostat are liver dysfunction, diarrhea, headache, nausea, rash, and so on. The differences of adverse reactions in cardiovascular system between febuxostat and allopurinol are not statistically significant.

    Objective To systematically evaluate the effects of liver and kidney function on the occurrence of thrombocytopenia induced by linezolid and the population pharmacokinetic characteristics of linezolid, so as to provide guidance for the individualization of linezolid in patients with liver and renal insufficiency. Methods Relevant databases at home and abroad have been searched up to November 2023. The literature about the influence of liver and kidney function on linezolid-induced thrombocytopenia were analyzed using the Rev Man 5.4-statistical software, and the effect sizes were odds ratio (OR) and standardi- zed mean difference (SMD) with their 95% confidence interval (CI) in the meta-analysis. The literature on population pharmacokinetic studies of linezolid were summarized and systematically reviewed. Results A total of 32 literature were included in the meta-analysis, including 4-112 patients. Among them, 1-458 (35.5%) developed thrombocytopenia and 2-654 (64.5%) did not. The meta-analysis results showed that the risk of linezolid-induced thrombocytopenia in the renal insufficiency patients was higher than that in patients with normal renal function [47.9% (594/1-241) vs. 25.8% (493/1-912), OR=3.24, 95%CI: 2.31-4.53], and the lower baseline creatinine clearance (Ccr) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were associa- ted with the higher risk of linezolid-related thrombocytopenia (all P<0.05); the risk of thrombocytopenia induced by linezolid in patients with liver dysfunction was higher than that in patients with normal liver function [47.6% (119/250) vs. 33.9% (360/1-061), OR=2.36, 95%CI: 1.73-3.22], and the higher baseline total bilirubin (TBil) was associated with the higher risk of linezolid-related thrombocytopenia (all P<0.05). A total of 15 articles were included in the review of population pharmacokinetic study, 11 of which were based on self-built or publicly published population pharmacokinetic models and used Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the efficacy and safety probabilities in different dosing regimens of linezolid. Among them, there were 5 and 2 articles optimized the dosing regimen of linezolid in patients with renal and liver insufficiency, respectively. Conclusions Liver and renal insufficiency increases the risk of linezolid-induced thrombocytopenia, and baseline levels of Ccr, eGFR, and TBil can serve as sensitive indicators for predicting the risk. Patients with liver and renal insufficiency can use population pharmacokinetic models for an optimized linezolid regimen before treatment to reduce the risk of linezolid-induced thrombocytopenia.

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine in treatment of elderly patients in perioperative period.MethodsCNKI, CBM, VIP,WanFang Database, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library from the inception to October 2013 were searched using "dexmedetomidine", "α2 receptor agonist", "elderly patients", "aged", "adverse reactions", "adverse drug reactions", "adverse events", and "safety" as key words. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) on dexmedetomidine treatment for elderly patients in perioperative period were collected and studies in accordance with inclusion criteria were analyzed with RevMan 5.2 software. The differences of heart rates during and after the operation, mean arterial pressure (MAP), the cumulative amount of fentanyl, and incidence of adverse reactions (vomiting, hypotension, bradycardia) between the dexmedetomidine group and the saline group were compared and the results were showed with weight mean difference (WMD), (relative risk,RR), and 95% confidence interval (CI).ResultsA total of 6 RCT papers involving 403 elderly patients (200 patients in the dexmedetomidine group and 203 patients in the saline group) were entered into this study. Of them, 4 RCT papers were high quality articles and 2 were low quality articles according to the Jadad scores. The heart rates and MAP in patients in the dexmedetomidine group were markedly lower than those in the saline group[heart rate: WMD =-11.70,95% CI (-13.76 to -9.65),P<0.01; MAP: WMD=-8.74, 95% CI (-10.81 to -6.68), P<0.01], the cumulative amount of fentanyl in patients in the dexmedetomidine group was markedly lower than that in the saline group [RR=-7.22,95%CI: -11.30 to -3.14, P<0.01]. There were no statistically significant differences in incidence of vomiting [RR=-0.11, 95% CI (-0.26 to -0.03)], bradycardia [RR=5.16,95% CI: 0.63 to 42.24], and hypotension [RR=1.01,95% CI: 0.28 to 3.69]in perioperative period between the two groups(all P>0.05).ConclusionDexmedetomidine could stabilize the heart rate and arterial pressure in elderly patients in perioperative period and have definite sedative effect and good drug safety.

    Objective To explore the clinical features of metronidazole-related acute pancreatitis. Methods Literature included in PubMed database up to September 2019 were searched and cases with a clear causal relationship between metronidazole and acute pancreatitis and relatively complete clinical data were collected. The following information of patients including nationality, gender, age, primary diseases, comorbidity, metronidazole medication, combined medication, occurrence of acute pancreatitis (time from medication to the onset of acute pancreatitis,symptoms, major laboratory tests results, pancreatic imaging findings, and etc.), and clinical treatments and outcomes was extracted. The collected data was analyzed by descriptive statistical method. Results A total of 12 patients were entered, including 8 from the Unite States, 4 from Greece, France, Ireland, and Turkey, respectively; 3 were males and 9 were females, aged from 22 to 63 years. The primary diseases in 5 patients were vaginitis and in 7 patients were Crohn disease, aspiration pneumonia, ulcerative colitis, pseudomembranous colitis, periodontal abscess, and ulce- rative colitis combined with Clostridium difficile colitis, and Clostridium difficile colitis, respectively; 1 of them were accompanied by history of peptic ulcer. A total of 24 times of metronidazole-related acute pancreatitis occurred in 12 patients (1, 2, 3, and 4 times occurred in 4, 5, 2, and 1 patients, respectively); 23 of them occurred in oral medication and 1 in intravenous medication; 16 cases occurred when metronidazole was used alone and 8 when metronidazole was in combination with other drugs. Time from the first application of metronidazole to the onset of acute pancreatitis was (3.9±2.8) days in 12 patients, time from reapplying metronidazole to recurrence of acute pancreatitis in 8 patients was (3.0±2.5) days, and the range of occurrence time both were 12-hours to 8 days after medication. The clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, and imaging findings of metronidazole-related acute pancreatitis were similar to those caused by other drugs. All the 24 times of acute pancreatitis had clinical symptoms, including 24 times of abdominal pain, 21 times of nausea, and 20 times of vomiting. Metronidazole was discontinued after the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Treatment measures were described in 17 times of acute pancreatitis, including symptomatic and supportive treatments such as fasting, analgesia, and antiemesis in 11 times. All patients recovered after 2-22 days of metronidazole withdrawal. Conclusions Metronidazole-related acute pancreatitis usually occurred within 8 days of medication and it mainly manifested as abdominal pain. Prodromal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting might occur in some patients. Early diagnosis and timely discontinuation of the drug might be helpful to a better prognosis in general.

The literatures and the case reports of hematological adverse reactions induced by cinepazide were collected. The data were analyzed retrospectively, including characteristics of patients, drug use, as well as types, onset time, clinical manifestations, treatment and prognosis to adverse reaction. Results: A total of 14 clinical research papers and the adverse drug reaction reports were selected , 16 patients were enrolled in this study. They comprised 8 men and 8 women with average age of (73.0±11.9) years. The primary diseases were cerebral infarction (9 cases), cerebral hemorrhage (3 cases), peripheral arterial embolism (3 cases) and vertebrobasilar arterial insufficiency (1 case). Dosages of cinepazide were 160 mg/d (2 cases), 240 mg/d (2 cases), 320 mg/d (8 cases), 600mg/d (1 case) and 1 200 mg/d (3 cases), respectively. The onset time to adverse reaction induced by cinepazide was within 5 days (7 cases), 6 to 10 days (3 cases), 11 to 15 days (1 case) and more than 15 days (5 cases) after treatment, respectively. The initial symptom of adverse reactions in most patients was fever. There were 10 patients with leucopenia, 4 with agranulocytosis, 1 with thrombocytopenia and 1 with both leucopenia and thrombocytopenia,in total of 16 patients. Fifteen patients received the drug discontinuation and symptomatic treatment, 14 patients improved and 1 died. Another patient’s drug was not withdrawn. Conclusion: Cinepazide is liable to decrease leckocyte, franulocyte, and platelet. Clinical cinepazide use should be followed by a careful hematological monitoring.

    A 53-year-old male patient with small intestinal stromal tumor received imatinib 400-mg orally once daily after surgery. One month later, the patient developed eosinophilia, but it was not treated. Imatinib was continued. Four months later, edema and pain appeared in the hands, feet, and abdomen, which gradually spread to the whole body; ulcers appeared in part skin of the chest and back, and multiple maculopapular and ulcers were scattered throughout the whole body, accompanied by ulceration, exudation, itching, and pain. Eosinophil count was 2.7×109/L. Combined with the results of bone marrow aspiration and skin biopsy, it was diagnosed as eosinophilia and drug-induced rash, which were considered to be caused by imatinib. Clinical pharmacists participated in multidisciplinary consultation, analyzed the relationship between the adverse reactions and the drugs, and recommended stopping the drug, monitoring the blood concentration of imatinib for subsequent use, and adjusting its dosage. Doctors suspended imatinib treatment, and glucocorticoids and antihistamines were given. Then the patient′s rash was improved, and imatinib was continued at a reduced dose.

    Objective: To observe the effects of Fructus Xanthii on urinary metabolic profile and overall characterization and blood biochemical indicators in rats in order to explore the application of metabolomics method in evaluation of toxicity in traditional Chinese medicine. Methods: Thirty male Wistar rats were divided into the low-dose group, the high-dose group, and the control group using random-digital table method, each group comprised 10 rats. The rats in the low-dose and high-dose groups were gavage-fed a certain volume of suspension containing aqueous extract of Fructus Xanthii (equivalent to crude drug 1.05 and 21.0 g/kg) once daily for 28 days, respectively. The rats in the control group were gavage-fed the same volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution. The changes in body weight, coat, movement and mental status in rats were observed during the drug administration. The serum levels of ALT and AST were measured before drug administration and 7,14,21,and 28 days after drug administration, respectively. A 24-hour urine sample of each rat was collected and the metabolic profiles and the overall characterization were determined using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography/time of flight mass spectrometry. Results: The rats in the high-dose group developed lusterless fur, depilation, decrease in food ingestion and activities, and unresponsiveness during the drug administration. Only 2 rats in the low-dose group developed lassitude and lusterless fur 28 days after drug dministration. Twenty-one and 28 days after drug administration, the body weight of rats in the high-dose group were markedly lower than that in the low-dose group (P<0.05) and the control group (P<0.01), but the differences in body weight between the low-dose group and the control group was not statistically significant in each time point ( all P>0.05). Twenty-one days after drug administration, the levels of ALT and AST in the high-dose group[( 42.9±3.9)U/L, (107.9±12.7)U/L]were markedly higher than those in the low-dose group [( 33.8±4. 4)U/L, (95.8±16.6)U/L]and the control group[( 31.8±4.4)U/L, (93.5±15.8)U/L], the differences were statistically significant ( all P<0.05). Twenty-eight days after drug administration, ALT and AST in the high-dose group reached peak levels. There was no statistically significant difference in ALT and AST levels between the low-dose group and the control group in each time point (all P>0.05). The distributions of 24-hours’urine metabolite phenotypic clustering 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after drug administration in the high-dose group were deviated from the control group, and the deviation increased with the prolonged drug administration. The distributions of 24-hours’urine metabolite phenotypic clustering 7, 14 and 21 days after drug administration in the low-dose group were near and partly overlapped with those of the control group, but a single cluster appeared 28 days after drug administration. Conclusion: The metabolomic method has higher sensitivity in detection of Fructus Xanthii-induced hepatotoxicity and might be used in the toxicity evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine.

    A 63-year-old male patient with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and type 2 diabetes mellitus received long-term use of glimepiride (2-mg once daily) and no adverse reactions occurred. He underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) followed by drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation because of acute inferior myocardial infarction. After the operation, dual antiplatelet therapy with oral aspirin enteric-coated tablets (100-mg once daily) and ticagrelor (90-mg twice daily) was given. Clinical pharmacists participated in the ward round and learned that the patient had a history of G6PD deficiency. After consulting the list of unsafe drugs for G6PD deficiency patients, the pharmacists found that glimepiride and aspirin were high-risk drugs that could induce hemolysis in G6PD deficiency patients. It was believed that the combination of the 2 drugs might increase the patient′s risk of hemolysis. They recommended that glimepiride should be discontinued and routine aspirin after PCI and DES should be continued. The physician adopted the pharmacists′ advice and the hypoglycemic agent was replaced by metformin hydrochloride. The patient recovered soon after surgery. At a 3-month follow-up, no hemolytic reaction occurred in the patient.

    A 35-year-old male patient was admitted to hospital because of severe chronic hepatitis B and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. The patient received treatment with liver-protective drugs, medications used to treat jaundice, diuretics, a drug inhibiting the secretion of gastric acid (omeprazole) and anti-viral drug (adefovir dipivoxil and lamivudine). During the treatment, the patient developed pulmonary invasive fungal infections. The patient’s symptoms improved after treatment with caspofungin for 10 days. Subsequently, the patient was administered oral voriconazole at an initial dose of 0.4 g and then 0.2 g twice daily instead of caspofungin for economic reasons. On day 3 of voriconazole treatment, the patient developed frequent nausea and vomiting. His symptoms were not improved after symptomatic treatment. On day 10 of treatment, the patient was given an IV infusion of voriconazole 0.2 g twice daily. His frequent vomiting remained unchanged. On day 14 of voriconazole treatment, the patient developed muscle soreness in his extremities. Laboratory tests revealed following levels: AST 880 U/L, ALT 166 U/L, CK 22 855 U/L, and CK-MB 442 U/L. Voriconazole was discontinued, and 4 days later, his CK and CK-MB levels decreased to 5625 U/L and 73 U/L, respectively, but his AST and ALT levels increased to 1226 U/L and 396 U/L, respectively. The myopathy and worsening liver function were considered to be possibly related to adverse interactions between voriconazole and omeperazole. The patient finally developed severe hepatic failure and was discharged at his family’s request.

    ObjectiveTo analyze the prevalence and risk factors of potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use among elderly inpatients.MethodsThe data of patients  ≥65 years of age and hospitalized in Department of Internal Medicine in the Third People′s Hospital of Hefei from January to December in 2015 were collected and the gender, age, department, diseases that patient suffered from, hospitalization days, drug varieties used in one patient, methods of payment were recorded. The patients were divided into 2 groups: the 65-79 years old group and the  80 years old group. The utilization rate of PIM drugs, the drug varieties, the proportion of PIM use between the patients in the 2 groups were calculated. The risk factors of PIM use was analyzed by Logistic regression method.ResultsA total of 388 patients (their ages were from 65 to 79 years and their average age was (76±7) years were enrolled in this study, including 206 males and 182 females. Of the 388 patients, 278 (71.6%) patients were in the 65-79 years old group and 110 (28.4%) were in the  ≥80 years old group. The utilization rate of PIM drugs was 54.9% (213/388) and the utilization rate of high-risk PIM drugs was 28.6% (111/388). The utilization rate of PIM drugs in the 65-79 years old group was 57.9% (161/278) and 47.3% (52/110) in the ≥80 years old group (χ2=3.604, P=0.058). Among 213 patients receiving PIM drugs, 132 (62.0%) patients were prescribed with one PIM drug, and 56 (26.3%), 17 (8.0%), 6 (2.8%), 2(0.9%) patients were prescribed with 2 to 5 PIM drugs, respectively. Twenty-four PIM drugs were used in the 213 patients and 17 high-risk PIM drugs were used in 111 patients, accounting for 33.3% (24/72) of the total number of PIM drugs and 48.6% (17/35) of the high-risk PIM drugs, respectively. According to the ratio of application, the top 3 drugs were insulin, anticoagulants, sedatives and hypnotics in the 65-79 years old group and anticoagulants, sedatives and hypnotics, and theophylline in the ≥80 years old group. The results of Logistic regression showed that the main risk factors of PIM use were ages (OR=0.531, 95%CI: 0.326-0.865, P=0.011) and prescribed drugs varieties (OR=3.927, 95%CI: 2.678-5.757, P<0.001). ConclusionsThe utilization rate of PIM drugs in elderly inpatients in our hospital was higher. The risk factors of PIM use were patients′ages and drugs varieties.

    Objective To explore the clinical manifestation, treatments, and outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced immune-mediated liver injury (IMLI). Methods The patients with ICI- related IMLI and hospitalized in the Department of Oncology, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2018 to November 2022 were collected. The basic information, tumor treatments, clinical manifestation, treatments and outcomes of the patients with IMLI were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 29 patients were included in the study, including 17 males (58.6%) and 12 females (41.4%), with a median age of 65 years. The median treatment cycle from the use of ICI to the occurrence of liver injury was 3 cycles, and the median time was 78 days. In patients with IMLI, 48.3% (14/29) had no obvious symptoms and 51.7% (15/29) had symptoms such as decreased appetite, nausea, abdominal distension, fatigue, fever and jaundice; 44.8% (13/29) were accompanied by other immune-related adverse events. The clinical classification of IMLI was hepatocellular type in 18 patients (62.1%), cholestasis type in 4 patients (13.8%), and mixed type in 7 patients (24.1%). According to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) classification, severe liver injury (≥ grade 3) accounted for 86.2% (25/29), while according to the Chinese Diagnosis and Treatment Guideline on Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI guidelines) classification, severe liver injury (≥ grade 2) accounted for 34.5% (10/29). All 29 patients discontinued the treatment of ICIs after occurrence of IMLI, and 28 patients were treated with glucocorticoids, 7 of which were combined with mycophenolate mofetil and/or human immunoglobulin and artificial liver; 22 patients (75.9%) were improved. In the other 7 patients that did not recover, 4 discharged automatically, 2 died, and 1 could not be judged. ICI was rechallenged in 3 patients after liver function improvement, and IMLI did not recur. Conclusions The IMLIs often occur 2 to 3 months after the start of ICI treatment, the most common clinical type is hepatocyte type, and the severity of clinical symptoms in patients vary from mild to severe. After discontinuing ICIs and receiving glucocorticoid treatments, most patients may have a good prognosis.

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety of pirfenidone in treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).MethodsPubMed, the Cochrane library, EMbase, CNKI, and WanFang database were searched using the keywords pirfenidone, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and IPF from January 1999 to January 2015. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of pirfenidone in treatment of IPF were selected. The patients in the trial group were given pirfenidone alone while the patients in the control group were given oral placebo. The primary end point event of the outcome was the incidence of pirfenidone′s adverse events. The Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2.ResultsA total of 4 articles including 5 RCTs were enrolled. There were 945 patients in the trial group and 766 patients in the control group. The incidents of many kinds of adverse events in the trial group were markedly higher than those in the control group, including gastrointestinal discomfort [12.6% (101/804) vs. 5.2% (40/766), RR= 2.31, 95% CI: 1.63-3.29, P< 0.01], nausea [34.6% (241/695) vs. 15.0% (99/659), RR= 2.373, 95% CI:1.92-2.92, P< 0.01] and vomiting [13.3% (83/623) vs. 6.3% (39/624), RR= 2.13, 95% CI:1.48-3.06, P< 0.01], diarrhea [25.8% (161/623) vs. 20.4% (127/624), RR= 1.27, 95% CI: 1.03-1.56, P=0.02], anorexia [15.2% (122/804) vs. 4.7% (36/766), RR= 3.10, 95% CI:2.16-4.46, P<0.01], abnormal liver function [6.0% (49/804) vs. 1.7% (13/766), RR= 2.48, 95% CI: 1.46-4.23, P<0.01], rash [30.4% (189/623) vs. 10.3% (64/624), RR= 2.95, 95% CI: 2.27-3.83, P< 0.01], photosensitivity reaction [24.7% (129/526) vs. 6.1% (30/489), RR= 5.54, 95% CI: 1.78-17.30, P<0.01], insomnia [10.4% (65/623) vs. 6.6% (41/624), RR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.09-2.31, P= 0.02], dizziness [16.4% (120/732) vs. 9.8% (72/731), RR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.27-2.19, P<0.01], fatigue [25.6% (178/695) vs. 16.3% (108/659), RR= 1.60, 95% CI: 1.29-1.98, P< 0.01], and weight loss [10.1% (63/623) vs. 5.4% (34/624), RR= 1.85, 95% CI: 1.24-2.77, P= 0.03]. However, there was no statistically significant difference in treatment-related serious events [26.5% (165/623) vs. 26.4% (165/624), RR= 1.00, 95% CI: 0.83-1.20, P= 0.94]. Compared with the control group, there was a statistical significance in the rate of drug withdrawal in the trial group [14.6% (117/804) vs. 9.0% (69/766), RR= 1.62, 95% CI: 1.22-2.15, P<0.01). ConclusionThe common adverse events of pirfenidone are gastrointestinal, skin, and neurological system damage and fatigue and loss of weight. The adverse events are mild and mostly recoverable without obvious sequelae. The pirfenidone is safe and well-tolerated.

    Objective: To investigate the rationality of prophylactic antibacterial use in the perioperative period in order to elevate the levels of rational drug use. Methods: Nine hundred and forth-eight inpatients receiving surgical procedure were investigated and analysed retrospectively for prophylactic antibacterial use in March, 2006. Results: Of the 1 841 times of prophylactic antibacterial use in 948 cases, 1 039 (56.44%) were rational,189 (10.27%) basically rational, and 613 (33.29%) irrational. The patterns of irrational drug use were manifested in the following forms: overlong duration of administration, inappropriate timing of administration, overdose, incorrect choice of drugs, inappropriate indication, less frequency of administration, and so on. Conclusion: There were some patterns of irrational prescribing in the prophylactic antibacterial use in the perioperative period; therefore, it is necessary to carry out "Guidelines on Clinical Use of Antimicrobials" in order to avoid the inappropriate use of antibacterials

    Pharmaceutical packaging materials refer to packaging materials and containers which come into direct contact with medicines. Present major pharmaceutical packaging materials include the following four categories: glass, rubber, plastic, and metal materials. Pharmaceutical packaging materials might interact with the medicines which are packed. Some pharmaceutical packaging materials could absorb the active ingredient in medicines, thus decreasing their curative effects, and some may release hazardous substances, thus harming the body tissues. Therefore, quality control of pharmaceutical packaging materials should be strengthened; appropriate pharmaceutical packaging materials should be selected according to characteristics of medicines; and attention should be paid to drug safety problems associated with pharmaceutical packaging materials.

    Objective To explore the risks and influencing factors of regorafenib related hepatobiliary system injury. Methods Reports of regorafenib related hepatobiliary system adverse events received from 4th quarter, 2012 to 3rd quarter, 2018 in the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database were collected. The signal intensity of hepatobiliary system adverse events related to regorafenib was screened and statistically analyzed by report odds ratio (ROR) and proportional report ratio (PRR), and their influencing factors were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 26-013 adverse event reports related to regorafenib were retrieved, and 28 preferred terms were screened as suspicious hepatobiliary system related adverse event signals. Results from sorting the signal intensity of adverse events using ROR, PRR and their lower limit of 95% confidence interval (CI) showed that elevation of jaundice and bilirubin had the strongest signal (ROR=8.56, 95%CI lower limit: 7.66; PRR=8.46, 95%CI lower limit: 7.58), followed by other laboratory abnormalities (ROR=6.05, 95%CI lower limit: 4.95; PRR=6.03, 95%CI lower limit: 4.94) and then liver related diseases (ROR=5.46, 95%CI lower limit: 4.71; PRR=5.43, 95%CI lower limit: 4.69). Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of hepatobiliary system adverse events was higher when the regorafenib dose was>80~<160-mg/d, compared with the dose of ≤80-mg/d (OR=1.702, 95%CI: 1.230-2.356, P=0.001), and was lower in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors, compared with other tumors (OR=0.436, 95%CI: 0.240-0.792, P=0.006). Conclusion Regorafenib has the risk of hepatobiliary system injury, and a higher dose may be related to the increased risk.

    Andrographolide injection (Lianbizhi injection) is an antibacterial and antiinflammatory agent. Recently, andrographolide injectioninduced acute renal injury has been reported, and its potential safety issue has caused widespread concern. The clinical feature of the renal disorder is that the latent period from exposure to onset of symptoms is short and it usually occurs after one dose. The presentations are lumbago, nausea, oliguria, anuria, and an increase in serum creatinine and urea nitrogen. The experimental study has suggested that andrographolide injection has no marked toxic effects on the renal tissue of rats, but administration of large dosage within a short time period may cause renal injury to some extent. Andrographolide injectioninduced nephrotoxicity may be associated with its potential toxicity or allergic reactions. In addition, high concentration or andrographolide injection combined with nephrotoxic drugs may produce renal injury. Clinicians should be aware of the previous allergic history of the patients before the drug use. The concentration and the delivery rate of infusion should be appropriate. Using andrographolide injection in combination with other nephrotoxic drugs should be avoided. The drug should not be used for patients with renal diseases.

    A 62-year-old female patient underwent medical thoracoscopic pleural biopsy for undiagnosed pleural effusion. Preoperative vital signs in the patient were stable, with no cardiovascular, cerebrovascular or neurological underlying diseases. During the procedure, midazolam 2 mg (0.045 mg/kg) and fentanyl 150 μg (3.3 μg/kg) were administered by intravenous injection for sedation and analgesia. Two minutes later, the patient developed respiratory depression, and her oxygen saturation decreased to 42%. Immediate jaw thrust maneuver followed by bag-valve-mask ventilation was initiated, and the spontaneous respiration resumed and oxygen saturation recovered (>90%) after 2 minutes, allowing successful biopsy of a pleural nodule. The patient was fully conscious in the immediate postoperative period, with normal ability of communication and mobility. However, at 6 hours postoperatively, she developed anterograde and retrograde amnesia, disorientation, sensation disorders, nausea, and retching. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging revealed no significant abnormalities. These symptoms were considered to be related to transient higher cortical dysfunction induced by the sedative and analgesic agents. Given supportive treatments including fluid administration, the symptoms were gradually improved at 8 hours postoperatively, and resolved completely by 11 hours postoperatively.

    Licorice is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine which mainly contains glycyrrhizin ( glycyrrhizinic acid ), glycyrrhetinic acid, and flavonoid. Large dosage or longterm use of licorice or glycyrrhizinic acid may cause pesudohyperaldosteronism. Clinical presentations are increased blood pressure, palpitation, shortness of breath, arrhythmia, somnolence, generalised asthenia, tetraplegia, hypokalemia, lower limb and systemic edema, etc. The subjects prone to developing pseudohyperaldoteronism include the elderly, women, and those with cardiovascular disease or renal impairment. The mechanism of pseudohyperaldoteronism from licorice or glycyrrhizinic acid is associated with inhibition of 11 betahydroxysteroiddehydrogenase and increased activation of mineralocorticoid receptors. The measures of prevention and treatment are as follows: large dosage and longterm use of licorice or glycyrrhizinic acid should be avoid; the drug should be used very carefully in the elderly, the patients with cardiovascular disease, renal disease, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus; licorice or glycyrrhizinic acid in combination with cardiac glycoside or diuretics should be avoided; serum potassium level should be measured and blood pressure should be monitored regularly during drug therapy; once pseudohyperaldosteronism occurs, the drug should be stopped; patients with severe symptoms should be administered an appropriate potassium supplement, oral triamterence, and a low sodium diet.

    Cinnabar (Zhusha) has a history of two thousand years and more as a traditional Chinese medicine, and it was included in each edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia from 1963 to 2005. Cinnabar is mainly used for treatment of palpitation and terror, insomnia and dreaminess, epileptic seizure, infantile convulsion, blurred vision, aphtha, inflammation of throat, and ulcer and swelling of the skin. Recent studies suggest that cinnabar has sedative, hypnotic, anticonvulsive, antiarrhythmic, antibacterial, and antiparasitic effects. Daily dosage of cinnabar is 0.1~0.5 g in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. However, according to incomplete statistics, the commonly used dosage of about 170 cinnabar preparations exceeds the dosage limit in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The main composition of cinnabar is mercuric sulfide (HgS). Despite lower toxicity of mercuric sulfide, acute or chronic poisoning can occur after high dosage or longterm use of cinnabar. And it might be related to free mercury or soluble mercuric salts in cinnabar. The presentations of cinnabar poisoning were oral mucosal ulcer, acute gastroenteritis, neurological and renal damage, circulatory failure, and death. The authors suggest that the scientific reassessment of its benefit and risk in clinical practice should be performed on the basis of a thorough investigation and study in the efficacy and safety of cinnabar and its preparations.

After 2 years and 6 months of renal transplantation, sirolimus was switched to mizolibin due to edema of his lower extremities. After taking mizolibin for 21 days, the patient developed nausea, poor appetite, and decreased urine volume (1 500-ml/24-h), and the symptoms gradually worsened. Laboratory tests showed serum crea- tinine 635-μmol/L and serum uric acid 1-750-μmol/L. The color Doppler ultrasonography of the transplanted kidney showed multiple stones and decreased color of blood flow signal. Acute renal failure, hyperuricemia, and calculus in transplanted kidney were diagnosed. Considering that it was related to mizolibin, the drug was discontinued and replaced by sirolimus, and hemodialysis, uric acid lowering, alkalizing urine, and other treatments were given. After 6 days of mizolibin discontinuation, the patient had no nausea or poor appetite. His urine volume was 3-000-ml/24-h, serum creatinine was 247-μmol/L and serum uric acid was 207-μmol/L. The color Doppler ultrasonography of the transplanted kidney showed no stone with abundant colorful blood flow signals. After 13 days of mizolibin discontinuation, the serum creatinine was 156-μmol/L and the serum uric acid was 123-μmol/L.

    Objective: The casecrossover study design proposed by Maclure in 1991 is a method to assess the transient effects on the risk of onset of rare acute events. The case-crossover study has the following features: only data from patients are required; this design allows each patient to serve as his/her own control; patient-level confounding variables, such as gender, are readily controlled; this study eliminates the bias in control selection. The case-crossover study is most suitable for evaluating relations within the following characteristics: the individual exposure varies within short time intervals; the disease has abrupt onset and short latency; the induction period is short. The case-crossover study has been applied in assessing several adverse drug events, such as vaccine safety, drug-induced skin reactions, drug exposure and insidious outcome, the suspected risks of illicit drug use. The case-crossover study is worth using in the investigation of acute adverse events.

    At present, there are two kinds of oral antithrombotic drugs commonly used, including antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants. Before initiation of antithrombotic drugs, the risk of bleeding should be routinely assessed and measures to prevent bleeding should be taken as soon as possible. Methods for improving the efficacy and safety of warfarin include close monitoring during use, anticoagulative management, physician training, and patient education. Novel oral anticoagulants are easy to use, take effect quickly, and their dosage need not be monitored and adjusted in routine clinical practice, but the liver and kidney function should be taken into consideration for dosing regimen. After acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) was routinely given. The risk of bleeding and ischemia/thrombosis should be carefully evaluated and balanced before taking these medications, and the optimal drug combination and the duration of DAPT should be selected.

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the risk of dyspepsia and anorexia due to glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).MethodsThe electronic database of Chinese BioMedical Literature Database(CBMdisc), Chinese Medical Current Contents(CMCC), Medline, EMbase, the Cochrane Library and web site of ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception to May 1st 2014. Those randomized controlled trials whose inclusion criteria including patients with T2DM as the research object, comparisons of GLP-1 RA and placebo or other conventional anti-diabetic drugs as the intervention measures, and dyspepsia and anorexia as the outcomes were collected. A traditional Meta-analysis and a Network Meta-analysis were used and relational graph and rank ordering figure of all the intervention measures were drawn. ResultsA total of 42 randomized controlled trials were enrolled into this study involving 20 916 patients with T2DM and 13 kinds of intervention measures comprised 7 kinds of GLP-1 RAs (exenatide, exenatide release agent, liraglutide, lixisenatide, taspoglutide, albiglutide, and dulaglutide), 5 kinds of conventional anti-diabetic drugs (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, sitagliptin, and thiazolidinediones ketones), and placebo. The traditional Meta-analysis showed that, compared with placebo, the whole of GLP-1 RAs could increase the risks of dyspepsia [odds ratio(OR)=3.04, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.79-5.16] and anorexia (OR=2.57, 95%CI: 1.69-3.91) and there were statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The Network Meta-analysis showed that, compared with placebo, albiglutide, exenatide, exenatide release agent, liraglutide, lixisenatide, and taspoglutide could increase the risks of dyspepsia with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05) and, of them, liraglutide was at the greatest risk and the risk was 7.69 (1/0.13) times as high as that of the placebo. Compared with insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, sitagliptin, and thiazolidinediones ketones, GLP-1 RAs could also increase the risks of dyspepsia in the patients with T2DM and, of them, liraglutide was at the greatest risk,which was 13.58, 4.17 (1/0.24), 3.85 (1/0.26), 5.00 (1/0.20), and 3.70 (1/0.27) as high as that of insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, sitagliptin, and thiazolidinediones ketones, respectively. Compared with placebo, dulaglutide, exenatide, liraglutide, and taspoglutide could increase the risks of anorexia with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05) and, of them, dulaglutide was at the greatest risk, 5.53 times as high as that of the placebo. Compared with insulin, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones ketones, and sitagliptin, GLP-1 RAs could also increase the risks of anorexia in the patients with T2DM ( all OR>1.00 except for lixisenatide versus sitagliptin ) and, of them, dulaglutide was at the greatest risk, 48.91, 16.65, 36.24, and 4.75 times as high as that of insulin, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones ketones, and sitagliptin, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between two kinds of GLP-1 RAs for risks of dyspepsia and anorexia (all P>0.05). The risks of dyspepsia and anorexia due to the 13 kinds of intervention measures were ranked by rank ordering figure and liraglutide and dulaglutide were at the greatest risks.ConclusionBoth the traditional Meta-analysis and Network Meta-analysis showed that GLP-1 RAs could increase the risk of dyspepsia and anorexia in patients with T2DM.

    Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor used in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus or hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. It can effectively reduce the HBV DNA level of chronic HBV infected pregnant women, preventing HBV mother-to-child transmission. TDF has been recommended by the European Society of Liver Disease as drug of choice for HBV infection in pregnant women and designated as class B drug for pregnancy by the United States Food and Drug Administration. No adverse outcome or impact has been observed in current researches on TDF to mothers or fetus or to babies through breast feeding exposure. More in-depth and meticulous researches are needed for the safety of TDF in human pregnancy and lactation.

    ObjectiveTo evaluate rationality of drug application in aged inpatients with brain infarction in Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University. MethodsMedication records of ≥60 years old inpatients with brain infarction from January 1st, 2011 to December 31st in our hospital were collected. The patients′ general information was descriptively analyzed and drug utilization index (DUI), defined daily cost (DDC), and an average daily cost of each patient were calculated. Published guidelines in our country and abroad were searched and the therapeutic drugs used in aged inpatients with brain infarction in our hospital were compared with recommended drugs in Chinese guideline, and the rationality of drug use in our hospital was evaluated. ResultsData of a total of 430 patients were collected. Of them, 272 patients were male and 158 were female. The age of the patients was from 60 to 92 years and an average age was (71±7) years. The average number of diseases in each patient was 5.4. A total of 243 kinds of drugs were used during hospitalization and an average number of kinds of drugs in each patient was 17. A total of 8 guidelines related to brain infarction published in USA, Japan, China, South Africa, New Zealand, United Kindom, Europe, and Brazil were searched. There were 7 kinds of drugs in the above mentioned guidelines, including thrombolytic drugs, antiplatelet drugs, anticoagulation drugs, antifibrinolytic drugs, volume extending drugs, drugs for vasodilation, and neuroprotective drugs. The Chinese guideline recommended 3 kinds of drugs, including thrombolytic, antiplatelet, and antifibrinolytic drugs. Of them, 4 drugs in 2 kinds were used in our hospital, including alteplase (rt-PA), urinary kallidinogenase, aspirin, and clopidogrel and their DUI were 1.0, 1.2, 1.2, and 1.2, respectively. Thirteen kinds of neuroprotective drugs were used in aged inpatients with brain infarction in our hospital, whose cost accounted for 38.75% (1 782 343.6/4 599 576.7) of total medication cost, which was 17 times (1 782 343.6/103 779.7) the cost of recommended drugs in the Chinese guidelines. ConclusionsDrugs used in aged inpatients with brain infarction in our hospital are in accordance with recommended drugs in Chinese guidelines. However, neuroprotective drugs which are not recommended in Chinese guidelines are used excessively, which cost too much and should be standardized further.

    Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can increase the risk of thrombosis and arterial embolism events in patients. The more serious the condition, the higher the risk. Therefore, many academic groups at home and abroad have successively issued guidelines on the prevention and treatment of throm- bosis in patients with COVID-19. Among them, American Society of Hematology 2021 guidelines on the use of anticoagulation for thromboprophylaxis in patients with COVID-19 (ASH guidelines) and its updates are newer and have more detailed recommendations on the application of anticoagulant drugs to prevent venous thromboembolism in acutely and critically ill patients with COVID-19. This review aims to provide reference for clinic through general viewing the ASH guidelines as well as other relevant guidelines at home and abroad.

    Objective To analyze the influencing factors of the degree of increase in serum uric acid in patients with hyperuricemia related to pyrazinamide. Methods The National ADR Monitoring Information Network System was searched and the adverse reaction reports of hyperuricemia induced by pyra- zinamide that were reported from January 2012 to June 2019 in Beijing Chest Hospital, Capital Medical University were collected. The patients′ gender, age, height, weight, history of drug allergy, antituberculosis therapy, time of pyrazinamide treatment, and serum uric acid level before and after the treatment were recorded. Linear regression method was used to analyze the influence of the above factors on the degree of increase in serum uric acid, which was expressed by the change rate of serum uric acid. Results A total of 177 patients were enrolled in the study, including 124 males and 53 females; their ages were from 15 to 82 years, with a median age of 33 (23, 54) years; their body weight was (60±12) kg, in which 34 cases (19.2%) were <50-kg, 123 cases (69.5%) were 50-75-kg, and 20 cases (11.3%) were >75-kg; their height was (170±8) cm. Among the 177 patients, 143 cases (80.8%) received first-line regimen and 34 cases (19.2%) received second-line regimen; the time of pyrazinamide treatment was 1 to 97 days, with a median time of 8 (6, 11) days; 33 cases (18.6%) had history of drug allergy. The baseline uric acid level in 177 patients was (288±72) μmol/L before pyrazinamide administration and (640±105) μmol/L when hyperuricemia occurred. The change rate of serum uric acid was (139±82)%. Univariate linear regression analysis showed that body weight was negatively correlated with the change rate of serum uric acid (r=-1.343, t=-2.660, P=0.009). The difference in the change rate of serum uric acid among patients with different body weight was statistically significant (χ2=6.977, P=0.031). The difference in the change rate of serum uric acid between the <50-kg group and the >75-kg group was statistically significant (Z=-2.544, P=0.011). Conclusions Body weight is an independent influencing factor for the degree of increase in serum uric acid in patients with hyperuricemia related to pyrazinamide. The change rate of serum uric acid in hyperuricemia patients with lower body weight is higher.

    Clostridium difficileassociated diarrhea (CDAD) mainly occurs in association with the administration of broadspectrum antibiotics. The incidence of CDAD has been trending upward. The antibiotics frequently implicated in Clostridium difficileassociated diarrhea are amoxicillin, clindamycin, lincomycin, cephalosporins. The time to CDAD onset generally is 5-10 days after antibiotics treatment. CDAD in inpatients is 15%~25% of antibacterialassociated diarrhea(AAD) patients and the mortality is about 6%~30%. The mechanism of the occurrence of CDAD is that antibiotics inhibit normal gastrointestinal flora and enable Clostridium difficile to multiple and release toxin A (enterotoxin) and toxin B (cytotoxin) that induce intestinal mucosal injury as well as degeneration, necrosis, and fibrinous exudation of epithelial cells, leading to diarrhea and other symptoms. Clinical presentations mainly include diarrhea(watery stools), fever, abdominal pain, colitis, pseudomembranous (PMC), toxic megacolon, sepsis, and even death. The risk factors for CDAD are the elderly, serious underlying diseases, a prolonged hospitalization, administration of broadspectrum antibiotics and weakened immune function. If CDAD is confirmed, the suspected antibiotics should be withdrawn and metronidazole or vancomycin could be given. The patients with relapse may be treated with another 10~14 days course of metronidazole or vancomycin. The patients with multiple relapses may be treated with cholestyramine, probiotics, and human immulloglobulin.

ResultsA total of 17 RCTs involving 1 847 patients were entered, including 1 008 in the PAN group and 839 in the OME group. The patients in 12 RCTs received drugs by mouth and the patients in other 5 RCTs received intravenously and the Meta-analysis was performed respectively. The ulcer healing rates in patients with 2 or 4 weeks of oral PAN treatment, the pain relief rates in patients with 1, 2 or 4 weeks of oral PAN treatment were compared with those in patients with oral OME treatment at the same period and the differences were not significant. The pain relief rates in patients with 3 days of oral PAN treatment were higher than those in patients with 3 days of oral OME treatment [relative risk (RR)=1.27, 95% confidence interval(CI): 1.03-1.57, P=0.03]. The differences of the pain relief time, the incidence of adverse drug reactions, and the recurrence rates of six months between the patients with oral PAN treatment and the patients with OME treatment were not significant. The differences of the ulcer healing rates, the pain relief rates, the incidence of adverse drug reactions, and the recurrence rates of six months between the patients with intravenous PAN treatment and the patients with intravenous OME treatment were not significant.ConclusionBoth PAN and OME are safe and effective drugs for duodenal ulcer treatment.

    Amiodarone, one of Class Ⅲ antiarrhythmic drugs, may lead to hepatic injury, the incidence of which is about 14% to 82%. Clinical manifestations differ widely from asymptomatic elevated liver enzymes to fulminant hepatic failure and even death. Histopathological findings are similar to those of alcoholic liver disease and characterized by lysosomes phospholipidosis and granular cells. Pathogenesis includes toxicity of amiodarone and its major metabolite, immunological mechanisms, and genetic factors. Intravenous AIHI is mainly related to the effect of cosolvent, polysorbate 80. Men, heart failure and plasma concentration >2.5 mg/L may be risk factors. Indications to use amiodarone should be strictly controlled and patients′ physical conditions should be considered for choosing methods of administration. Monitoring closely is needed for liver function and/or blood concentration during treatment. When liver function is abnormal, weigh the benefits and risks of treatment carefully, and decide whether dosage reduction or withdrawal of the drug is necessary.

    A 73-year old woman with hypertension received amlodipine (5 mg once daily) and bisoprolol (2.5 mg once daily). One year later, she developed the symptoms of gingival swelling, bleeding, and difficult to chew and occlude. She was diagnosed as gingival hyperplasia by a doctor of department of stomatology and underwent resection of gingiva that had hyperplasia. The patient could chew 5 days after the operation. The patient′s gingival hyperplasia was considered as amlodipine-induced gingival overgrowth. Amlodipine was withdrawn and use of hydrochlorothiazide was started, but bisoprolol was continued. The result of return visit 6 months after operation showed the symptoms of gingiva, swelling and bleeding did not occur again, and the blood pressure was controlled stablely.

    Objective To understand the prescription medications that may cause or exacerbate heart failure (HF-CEPMs) in elderly outpatients with HF and analyze its influencing factors. Methods Prescriptions for elderly patients with HF in clinic of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University between January 2016 and August 2020 were collected. According to the list of HF-CEPMs published by the American Heart Association in 2016, HF-CEPMs in prescriptions were identified. The patient′s gender, age, disease diagnosis, medical insurance, therapeutic drugs, visiting departments, physician titles, and other information are extracted from the prescription, and the use of HF-CEPMs in the prescription was descriptively analyzed. The patients were divided into HF-CEPMs group and non-HF-CEPMs group according to whether the prescription included at least one drug in the list of HF-CEPMs. The clinical characteristics, number of drugs, medical insurance, visiting departments, and professional titles of prescription physicians in patients in the 2 groups were compared, and the influencing factors of prescription containing HF-CEPMs were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. Results A total of 2-418 patients were enrolled, including 1-264 males (52.27%) and 1-154 females (47.73%), with a median age of 80 (65, 99) years and a median number of comorbidities 1 (0, 5). The top 3 comorbidities requiring long-term medication were hypertension (1-233 patients, 50.99%), bronchial asthma (448 patients, 18.53%) and diabetes mellitus (385 patients, 15.92%), and the median number of drugs was 5 (1, 16). Among the 2-418 patients, 254 (10.50%) used HF-CEPMs, including 142 (55.91%) males and 112 (44.09%) females. Two hundred and twenty-four patients (88.19%), 26 patients (10.24%), and 4 patients (1.57%) were treated with 1, 2, and 3 kinds of HF-CEPMs, respectively. The top 5 HF-CEPMs in drug use rates were antihypertensive drugs [4.47% (108/2 418)], pulmonary drugs [2.52% (61/2 418)], antidiabetic drugs [1.99% (48/2 418)], urological drugs [1.12% (27/2 418)], antipyretic and analgesic drugs [1.03% (25/2 418)]. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the number of comorbidities ≥1 (1 kind of disease: OR=3.732, 95%CI: 2.246-6.623, P<0.001; more than 2 kinds of diseases: OR=6.054, 95%CI: 3.624-10.788, P<0.001) and the number of prescribed drugs ≥5 (OR=4.003, 95%CI: 2.874-5.693, P<0.001) were independent influencing factors for prescribing HF-CEPMs. Conclusions Antihypertensive drugs, pulmonary drugs, antidiabetic drugs, urological drugs, and antipyretic and analgesics drugs were the most common HF-CEPMs in outpatient prescriptions of elderly HF patients. The number of comorbidities and polypharmacy therapy in elderly outpatients with HF were independent influencing factors for prescribing HF-CEPMs.

    Objective To explore the occurrence and clinical characteristics of antibacterial-associated encephalopathy (AAE) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods The electronic medical records of patients with CKD stages 3-5 and treated with antibacterials for more than 2 days during hospitalization in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 1 to December 31, 2016 were collected. The patients who were with neuropsychiatric symptoms or diagnosed as encephalopathy after antibacterials treatments were screened out and scored by clinicians and pharmacists using Naranjo evaluation method. The patients with scores of ≥ 4 were judged as AAE. The AAE patients′ basic information, basic disease information, application of antibacterials, and AAE related information were extracted and analyzed descriptively. Results A total of 977 (40.07%) of 2-438 inpatients with CKD stages 3-5 were treated with antibacterials. Thirty-three patients (3.38%) were judged to have AAE by comprehensive evaluation. Among 33 patients with AAE, 15 patients were male and 18 were female, with age of 68 (56, 78) years (ranging from 27 to 88 years); 2 patients were with CKD stage 3b, 6 patients with stage 4, and 25 patients with stage 5; 21 patients underwent dialysis; their serum creatinine was (492±265) μmol/L, blood urea nitrogen was (16.9±10.7) mmol/L, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 10.4 (7.0, 14.9) ml/(min·1.73 m2). The antibacterials related to AAE were beta-lactams and fluoroquinolones, of which cefepime had the highest incidence of AAE [28.57%(4/14), 95%CI: 1.5-55.6], followed by ceftazidime [14.67%(11/75), 95%CI: 6.5-22.9]. The time from the use of antibacterials to the occurrence of AAE was (6±3) days. The main clinical manifestations of AAE were delirium and mania (45.45%, 15/33), involuntary movement of limbs and epilepsy (18.18%, 6/33 for both), apathy (15.15%, 5/33), lethargy (12.12%, 4/33), delusion and hallucination (3.03%, 1/33). Thirty-three patients with AAE were treated with discontinuation or replacement of antibacterials, intensive dialysis, hemofiltration, and symptomatic treatments. By the time of discharge, the symptoms in 30 patients (90.9%) disappeared and 3 patients (9.10%) were not cured. Conclusions The patients with CKD were at increased risk for AAE, especially for those treated with beta-lactams. The dosage of antibacterials drugs should be adjusted according to eGFR in CKD patients and monitored during the treatment so as to prevent the occurrence of AAE.

    Objective: To observe the effects of milkvetch root (Radix Astragali) on hepatotoxicity induced by cocklebur fruit (Fructus Xanthii). Methods: Sixty-five male mice were divided into following five groups (13 mice in each group): 1:1 group (cocklebur fruit 5 g/kg plus milkvetch root 5 g/kg), 1:2 group (cocklebur fruit 5 g/kg plus milkvetch root 10 g/kg), 2:1 group (cocklebur fruit 5 g/kg plus milkvetch root 2.5 g/kg), cocklebur fruit group (cocklebur fruit 5 g/kg), and control group (physiological saline). The duration of administration was 4 weeks, and the weight of mice was measured weekly. After the last administration of the medicines, the serum levels of ALT and AST were measured, the liver index was calculated, and the GSH-PX, GST, and MDA of the liver were measured. Results: The weight gain in the 1:1 groups and 2:1 groups was marked higher than that in the cocklebur fruit group (P< 0.05), the liver index was lower than that in the cocklebur fruit group (P<0.05). The serum levels of AST and ALT in the three experimental groups were lower than those in the cocklebur fruit group, and there were statistically differences in comparison of the 2:1 group with the cocklebur fruit group. The activity of GSH-PX and GST in the 1: 2 group and 2:1 group were higher than those in the cocklebur fruit group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05; P<0.01). The content of MDA in the 1:2 group and 2:1 group were lower than that in the cocklebur fruit group, there were stastistically differences in comparison of the 2:1 group with the cocklebur fruit group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Milkvetch root could decrease the hepatoxicity of cocklebur fruit, and the 2:1 groupis better than other ones.

    Objective To explore the occurrence of medication errors (MEs) involving cytotoxic drugs in pharmacy intravenous admixture service (PIVAS). Methods All the prescriptions containing cytotoxic drugs from January 2016 to December 2019 in PIVAS in Peking University Cancer Hospital were collected using the hospital information system. ME records found by pharmacists during the prescription review were screened out (defined as prescription error) and "the medication error record book" was searched to screen out MEs in PIVAS (defined as admixture errors) in the same period. Descriptive analysis was conducted on the grade, classification, links in which the MEs occurred, people who triggered, ME content, and the involved cytotoxic drugs of these MEs. In addition, the MEs that were not found in PIVAS but passed to the next link were defined as out-door errors. Results A total of 347-367 prescriptions involving cytotoxic drugs were received in PIVAS in our hospital during the study period, in which 1-080 MEs were found, and the incidence of ME was 0.31%. The 1-080 MEs were all grade B errors that did not cause patient harm, of which 841 (77.87%) were prescription errors and 239 (22.13%) were admixture errors. Five MEs were not intercepted and led to out-door errors and the incidence of out-door errors was 0.01‰(5/347-367). The top 5 ME contents were wrong solvent (63.15%, 682/1-080), incomplete prescription (11.67%, 126/1 080), wrong number (8.80%, 95/1-080), wrong dose (6.11%, 66/1-080), and wrong method in intravenous administration (4.35%, 47/1-080). A total of 32 cytotoxic drugs were involved in 1-080 MEs and the top 5 were paclitaxels (23.24%, 251/1-080), fluorouracil (12.59%, 136/1-080), doxorubicin (6.39%, 69/1 080), cisplatin (5.46%, 59/1-080), and etoposide (5.37%, 58/1-080). Conclusions The incidence of ME was 0.31% in PIVAS in our hospital, all of which were grade B errors. The errors mainly were prescription errors, the main contents were wrong solvent, and the main drugs involved were paclitaxels, fluorouracil, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and etoposide.

    Objective To actively monitor and analyze the safety of levofloxacin and sodium chloride injection produced by Guangzhou Green Cross Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (generic drug). and levofloxacin and sodium chloride injection produced by Daiichi Sankyo (Beijing) Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (original drug). Methods The data in this study came from the adverse drug reaction reports on levofloxacin and sodium chloride injection voluntarily monitored and reported to the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring System Database by the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Ji'nan University from October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2023. The information on patients′ age, gender, medication use, primary disease, time from medication to the occurrence of adverse reactions, clinical manifestations, treatment and prognosis of adverse reactions, and the occurrence of serious adverse reactions were collected. The incidence of adverse reactions was calculated. Results A total of 30 adverse reaction reports involving levofloxacin and sodium chloride injection were collected, involving 30 patients. In the generic drug group, there were 21 cases, including 8 males and 13 females, aged from 20 to 91 years with a median age of 43 years; 2 cases of serious adverse reactions were reported. In the original drug group, there were 9 cases, including 3 males and 6 females, aged from 20 to 96 years with a median age of 56 years; no serious adverse reactions were reported. In the generic drug group, a total of 36 adverse reactions occurred in 21 patients, while in the original drug group, a total of 13 adverse reactions occurred in 9 patients. These adverse reactions involved the skin and appendages, digestive system, nervous system, musculoskeletal system, urinary system, and medication site, with skin itching and rash being the most common allergic reactions (15 case time in the generic drug group, accounting for 41.7%; 6 case time in the original drug group, accounting for 46.2%). Two cases of serious adverse reactions occurred in the generic drug group, and both were anaphylactic shock. After discontinuation of the drug, switching to other antibiotics, and symptomatic treatments, 5 cases in the generic drug group were cured, 15 cases were improved, and 1 case was unknown. In the original research drug group, 2 cases were cured and 7 cases were improved. There were no deaths in either the generic or original drug groups. The incidence of adverse reactions in outpatients and/or inpatients in the generic drug group was 0.07% (21/29 557), while that in the original research drug group was 0.08% (9/10 686). There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (χ2=0.183, P=0.669). Conclusion The results of active monitoring show that there is no significant difference in safety between the generic and original drugs of levofloxacin and sodium chloride injection.

    Objective: To investigate the situation of antibacterial-associated diarrhea occurring in our hospital. Methods: Forty-four patients with antibacterial-associated diarrhea in our hospital were investigated and analysed retrospectively from January to June in 2005. Results:The antibacterial-associated diarrhea accounted for 41.5% of infectious diarrhea. Most of patients with antibacterial-associated diarrhea were elderly patients and patients with liver or renal dysfunction. The common causative agents were levofloxacin, cefoperazone / sulbactam, clindamycin, and so on. All these agents were given by intravenous infusion. The initial time of onset of diarrhea occurred 2 days after the start of antibacterial drug therapy. The symptoms of diarrhea disappeared after 7 days of treatment with antifungal agents and microecological preparations. Conclusion:Intraveously administered antibacterial drugs may cause diarrhea; therefore, physicians should be care of using these drugs in treating patients, especially in elderly patients and patientswith liver or renal dysfunction, in order to avoid the occurrence of diarrhea

    Atorvastatin, a 3-hydroxy-3methylglutaryl-coenzmye A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor, is a lipid-lowering drug with good effects on plasma lipids. Atorvastatin can cause dose-dependent increase in serum aminotransferase accompanied by an enlarged liver, jaundice, an increased direct bilirubin level, and a prolonged prothrombin time. The types of atorvastatin-induced liver injury are cytotoxic, cholestatic, and mixed. The mechanism of atorvastatin-induced cytotoxic liver injury may be related to breakage of hepatocyte chromosome DNA and change in hepatocyte morphology by competitive inhibition of HMG-CoA and ultimately causes hepatocyte apoptosis. The mechanism of atorvastatin-induced cholestatic liver injury may be related to the decreased expression or dysfunction of transporter, which located in sinusoidal membrane of hepatocytes and bile duct membrane, or may be related to the inhibited activity of bile salt and bile acid excretion relative transporter protein. The measures of treatment and prevention for atorvastatin-induced liver injury include: before atorvastatin administration, patients’liver function should be tested and the physician should be aware of patients’medical history, other medications, and alcohol habit; it is suggested that atorvastatin should be started at a small dose; if atorvastatin-induced mild-to-moderate increase in aminotransferase occurs, the dosage should be reduced and the patient might receive liver-protective drug; once severe liver injury appears, the drug should be discontinued immediately and symptomatic treatment should be given.

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety of metoclopramide in children.MethodsReports on clinical studies involving metoclopramide treament in children were searched at PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang Database from inception to September 2014. Adverse drug reaction information bulletins and pharmacovigilance information related to metoclopramide were searched from China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA), US FDA, Health Canada, and European Medicines Agency (EMA). The relationship between the adverse reactions and metoclopramide were evaluated using evaluation criteria of WHO and the characteristics of adverse reactions were descriptively analyzed.ResultsA total of 54 articles in accordance with inclusion criteria were entered in this study. No RCT was included. A total of 646 cases of adverse reactions were reported in the 54 articles. Of them, 42 cases of adverse reactions in the 29 case reports were reported and 604 cases in the 25 case series reports were reported. In the 646 children, 352 cases were males and 284 were females with ages from 2 months to 18 years old, of them, 174 cases (26.9%) were <1 year, 367 cases (56.8%) were 1-6 years old, 85 cases (13.2%) were 6 to 14 years old, and 20 cases (0.03%) were >14 years. Among the 42 cases of adverse reactions, 29 cases had extrapyramidal reactions; 4 cases had gynecomastia; 2 cases had nausea syndrome and apnoea, respectively; 1 case had hyperaldosteronism, skin rashes, blood pressure increase, and circulatory failure, respectively; 39 cases were cured, 2 cases were improved but sequelae remained, and 1 case was transferred to other hospital for treatment. All adverse reactions among the 604 cases of adverse drug reactions in the 25 case series reports were extrapyramidal reactions, all patients were cured without sequela. It was reported that 16 cases of 58 cases with adverse reactions in 2008 CFDA Bulletins were children. In 2011 and 2009, the FDA and Health Canada warned that long-term or large doses of metoclopramide could cause tardive dyskinesia. In 2013, the EMA recommended that metoclopramide was limited to short-term use (≤5 d), should not be applied to children under 1 year of age and only as second-line drugs for the prevention of nausea and vomiting in chemotherapy and postoperative treatments in children >1 year of age.ConclusionThe risks of extrapyramidal reactions and other serious adverse reactions existed in children with conventional dose of metoclopramide.

    Objective To investigate the effect of intravenous application of furosemide on occurrence of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) in patients after cardiac surgery. Methods The electronic medical records of patients undergoing cardiac surgery in Linyi People′s Hospital from January 2014 to December 2022 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. According to whether CSA-AKI occurred after surgery, the patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group and the clinical characteristics between the 2 groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of CSA-AKI, and the odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Results A total of 2-633 patients were enrolled in the analysis, including 1-601 males (60.8%) and 1-032 females (39.2%). The age was (62.8±8.9) years, ranging from 18 to 85 years. Among the 2-633 patients, 491 (18.6%) developed CSA-AKI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for factors such as the type of operation, intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypoalbuminemia, NYHA cardiac function class Ⅲ/Ⅳ, intraoperative/postoperative aortic balloon counterpulsation, preoperative serum creatinine level, operation duration, and the number of vasoactive drugs used after the operation, postoperative intravenous application of furosemide was still independently associated with the occurrence of CSA-AKI (OR=2.161, 95%CI: 1.720-2.715, P<0.001). Conclusions The incidence of CSA-AKI in patients enrolled in this study was 18.6%. Intravenous use of furosemide after cardiac surgery can increase the risk of CSA-AKI.

    Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of aripiprazole in the treatment of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia (AIH). Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of aripiprazole in treating AIH were collected by searching relevant databases at home and abroad (up to November 29, 2020). Patients in the trial group was treated with aripiprazole on the base antipsychotic drugs, and those in the control group was treated with or without additional placebo. Outcome indicators included serum prolactin normalization rate, serum prolactin level, and the incidence of major adverse events. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4-software. The effect size of counting data was risk ratio (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI), and the effect size of measurement data was standardized mean difference (SMD) and its 95%CI. Results A total of 23 RCTs were entered in the analysis, including 1-530 patients, 816 patients in the trial group and 714 patients in the control group. The meta-analysis results showed that the normalization rate of serum prolactin in the trial group was higher than that in the control group at the end of the treatment course (4-24 weeks) [73.5% (150/204) vs. 4.1% (8/194), RR=16.58, 95%CI: 8.61-31.93, P<0.001]. According to the dose of aripiprazole, the patients were divided into 5-mg/d and 10-mg/d subgroups. The analysis results showed that the serum prolactin levels in patients in the 2 trial subgroups were lower than those in their corresponding control groups at the end of the treatment, and the differences were statistically significant [SMD=-1.25, 95%CI: -1.66--0.84,P<0.001; SMD=1.93, 95%CI: -2.38--1.48, P<0.001]. There were no significant differences in the incidence of overall adverse events, extrapyramidal reactions, insomnia, somnolence, and weight gain in patients between the trial and control groups during the trial [26.5% (103/388) vs. 24.1% (94/390), RR=1.10, 95%CI: 0.90-1.36, P=0.35; 26.0% (53/204) vs. 34.0% (70/206), RR=0.77, 95%CI: 0.58-1.02, P=0.06; 8.4% (31/368) vs. 9.9% (37/372), RR=0.86, 95%CI: 0.56-1.33, P=0.50; 5.6% (19/340) vs. 4.7% (16/342), RR=1.16, 95%CI: 0.64-2.12, P=0.63; 0 vs. 7.9% (7/89), RR=0.18, 95%CI: 0.03-0.99), P=0.05]. Conclusion Aripiprazole is safe and effective in the treatment of AIH, but the long-term efficacy and safety need to be explored.

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of mirtazapine-related thrombocytopenia. Methods The diagnosis and treatment of a patient with mirtazapine-related thrombocytopenia who was admitted to the Aerospace Center Hospital was reported, and the main clinical data (gender, age, indications of mirtazapine use, dosage of mirtazapine, combined medication, platelet count before and after medication, time from application of mirtazapine to thrombocytopenia occurrence, clinical treatment and prognosis, etc.) of the case and similar cases collected by searching relevant databases (up to August 31, 2023) were analyzed by descriptive statistic method. Results A total of 9 patients were enrolled in the analysis, including 4 males and 5 females; the age ranged from 28 to 74 years, with a median age of 52 years. The indication of medication was depression in 8 patients, and 1 had no record. The daily dose of mirtazapine was 15-mg in 4 patients, 30-mg in 3 patients, and no record in 2 patients. Two patients were treated with mirtazapine alone, 6 patients were treated with mirtazapine combined with other drugs, and it was not recorded in 1 patient. The time from the application of mirtazapine to occurrence of thrombocytopenia in the 9 patients ranged from 2 to 28 days, with a median time of 8 days. The severity of thrombocytopenia was grade 1, 3, and 4 in 3, 3, and 2 patients, respectively; 1 patient had no relevant record. Of the 5 patients with severe thrombocytopenia, 3 developed bleeding, and 1 had skin ecchymosis. The results of drug-dependent antiplatelet antibody test in 2 patients were positive. Nine patients stopped mirtazapine treatment after diagnosis of thrombocytopenia, 6 patients did not receive special intervention, and 3 patients were given symptomatic treatments. After drug withdrawal for 2-43 days with the median time of 9 days, platelet counts returned to the reference range in 7 patients, platelet count increased in 1 patient, and platelet count was unknown but skin symptom was improved in 1 patient. Conclusions Mirtazapine-related thrombocytopenia usually occurs within 10 days of treatments, which can be improved after drug withdrawal. It is suggested to monitor the blood routine before and after the application of mirtazapine.

    Objective To explore the risk signals of montelukast-related adverse events (AEs) in pediatric patients and provide reference for the safe use. Methods AE reports of children with montelukast as the primary suspect drug from the first quarter of 2004 to the third quarter of 2022 were collected by searching the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database (FAERS). AEs were standardized and classified according to the preferred terms (PT) and system organ class (SOC) of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 23.0. Proportional reporting odds ratio (PRR) method was used to mine the AE risk signals of montelukast. An AE with reports ≥3, PRR≥2, and χ2>4 was defined as a positive signal, which were analyzed using descriptive method. Results A total of 5-179 AE reports were included in the analysis, involving 1-295 PTs, and 233 positive PTs were obtained by PRR method. The top 10 PTs in AE reports were aggres- sive behavior, anxiety, suicidal ideation, abnormal behavior, depression, anger, nightmares, insomnia, crying loudly and night terrors. Except crying loudly, all of them were adverse reactions recorded in the label. The top 10 PTs in signal intensity were sensory overload, arrhythmia, separation anxiety disorder, loneliness phobia, dust allergy, Mille-Fisher syndrome, eosinophilic granuloma complicated with polyangitis, personality disorder in children, night terrors and decreased platelet adhesion. Among them, abnormal heart rate, Mille-Fisher syndrome and decreased platelet adhesion were not recorded in the label. A total of 59 of the 233 positive PTs were not recorded in the label, involving 10 SOCs. The top 5 SOCs were social environment, mental illness, injury, poisoning and surgical complications, general conditions and administration site, and respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal diseases. Conclusion The main AEs of pediatric patients receiving montelukast treatment in the US FAERS are aggressive behavior, anxiety, depression, insomnia, night terrors, etc., all of which are adverse reactions recorded in the label; adverse reactions not recorded in the drug label include abnormal heart rate, Miller-Fisher syndrome, and decreased platelet adhesion.

    Objective To explore the safety of pamidronate disodium as adjuvant therapy in children with congenital pseudarthrosis of tibia (CPT).  Methods Medical record data of children with CPT who received pamidronate disodium for the first time and completed 3 doses of treatment during hospitalization in Department of Orthopedics, Hunan Children′s Hospital from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The regimen of medication was slow IV infusion of pamidronate disodium 0.5-mg/kg on day 1 and 1.0-mg/kg on days 2 and 3, dissolved in 0.9% sodium chloride injection 250-ml (the infusion time was >3 hours). Adverse reactions were monitored during and after the IV infusion. Peripheral venous blood was collected 2-3 hours after finishing the 3rd dose of treatment and blood calcium and phosphorus levels were detected. The children were divided into ≤1 year old group, >1-3 years old group, and >3 years old group, and the occurrence of adverse reactions in different age groups were compared.  Results A total of 81 children were enrolled in the analysis, including 54 males and 27 females, aged 0.4 to 15.4 years, with 10 cases in the ≤1 year old group, 46 in the >1 to 3 years old group, and 25 in the >3 years old group. After medication in the 81 children, fever with temperature ≥38.0-℃ occurred 53 times in 34 children (42.0%), of which 39 times were grade 1 (38.0-39.0-℃) and 14 times were grade 2 (>39.0-40.0-℃). The incidence of fever on the day after the 2nd dose was significantly higher than that after the 1st and 3rd doses (all P<0.05). The differences in the incidence of fever and the degree of fever among the 3 groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The temperature of children with fever decreased to below 38.0-℃ within 1-16-hours after drug-therapy or physical cooling. After the 3rd dose of treatment, the levels of serum calcium and phosphorus were significantly lower than those before administration [(2.06±0.17) mmol/L vs. (2.42±0.12) mmol/L, (1.01±0.23)mmol/L vs. (1.71±0.18)mmol/L, all P<0.001]. The incidences of hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia were 56.8% (46/81) and 19.8% (16/81) respectively, but none of patients with hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia had obvious related symptoms. Conclusions Pamidronate disodium is safe as adjunctive therapy in children with CPT. The main adverse reactions are fever, asymptomatic hypocalcemia, and hypophosphatemia. Fever can be recovered quickly after intervention, and the levels of serum calcium and phosphorus can return to within the normal range after drug withdrawal.

    Irinotecan is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used in the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer and small cell lung cancer. The common adverse reactions of irinotecan are delayed onset diarrhea and neutropenia. These adverse reactions are associated with genetic factors and non-genetic factors. Genetic factors include genetic polymorphisms of various enzymes and transporters, such as carboxylesterase, liver uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A, and cytochrome P450 3A4. Non-genetic factors including age, smoking, and drug combination can also affect the susceptibility of irinotecan and metabolism of drugs. Providing an individualized treatment according to different genotypes can improve clinical response of irinotecan and decrease the incidence of adverse reactions.

    -An 82-year-old female patient received monotherapy with nivolumab (240-mg by an IV infusion on the firsr day, 14 days as a cycle) because of multiple metastases of central adenocarcinoma in the right upper lobe of the lung. After 8 cycles of immunotherapy (about 4 months), the patient developed severe nausea and vomiting. Laboratory tests showed random blood glucose 43.2-mmol/L and β-hydroxybutyric acid 5.3-mmol/L. Blood gas analysis showed pH 7.01, bicarbonate root 4.0-mmol/L, alkali residual -22.4-mmol/L, serum potassium 6.1-mmol/L, and lactic acid 2.9-mmol/L. The patient had no previous history of diabetes mellitus. Fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus due to nivolimab was considered. Nivolumab was stopped and rehydration, hypoglycemia, acidosis correction, and other symptomatic treatments were given. Two days later, her symptoms were improved obviously. Laboratory tests showed fasting plasma glucose 15.8-mmol/L and β-hydroxybutyric acid 0.2-mmol/L. Blood gas analysis showed pH 7.39, bicarbonate root 21.2-mmol/L, alkali residual -3.8-mmol/L, serum potassium 4.3-mmol/L, and lactic acid 1.0-mmol/L.

    A 29-year-old male hepatitis C antibody-positive patient did not receive systematic treatment because there was no obvious symptoms and his liver function was normal. Later, the patient was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) stage Ⅳ and received immunochemotherapy. The drugs included rituximab, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, vincristine, and methylprednisolone. Immunochemotherapy had the risk of inducing hepatitis C activity and causing liver injury, so it is necessary to explore the right timing and agents of direct acting antivirals (DAAs) for hepatitis C virus (HCV). Then we built a special research team. By reviewing the relevant guidelines and literature, querying the drug interaction website of Liverpool University, and consulting relevant experts, it was decided to treat HCV while immunochemotherapy with sofosbuvir/ledipasvir regimen, which had the least risk of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with his immunochemotherapy agents. After 12 weeks of treatment, hepatitis C was cured in the patient and there was no obvious DDIs and serious hepatotoxic events.

    Objective: To study plasma-potassiun concentration affected by benazepril and spironotactone combination in CHF patients with or without chronic renal failure. Methods: 60 CHF patients without CRF(CHF/ CRF-)and 24 CHF patients with CRF( CHF/CRF+)were chosen to receive benazepril or benazepril plus spironolactone therapy. The changes of plasma- potassium concentration and incidence of hyperkalaemia were followed up and investigated. Results: The plasma- potassium concentration was increased after two weeks therapy in all patients(p < 0.01). Compared with single benazepril therapy benazepril and spironolactone combination induced significant increase of plasma-potassium concentration in patients with CHF/CRF+ (P< 0.01) but not in those with CHF/CRF-(P > 0.05). With the same combination therapy the plasma-potassium concentration was higher in patients with CHF/CRF+ than in those with CHF/CRF- (P< 0.01). Although incidence of hyperkalaemia was 33% in CHF/CRF+ patients receiving the combination therapy, differences compared with the other were not of significance. Conclusion: Application of benazepril and spironolactone combinatim is safe for CHF patients without CRF, and the incidence of hyperkalaemia is lower. But in those with CRF, there is a risk of hyperkalaemia. The cautions should be given to those receiving combination therapy to prevent them from hyperkalaemia.

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the incidence of equal to or greater than grade 3 adverse reactions of cetuximab combined with chemotherapeutic drugs or only chemotherapeutic drugs in treatment of patients with advanced colorectal cancer (ACRC)or metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).MethodsThe databases of MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastruc-ture, Wanfang Database and Vip Database from the  inception to September 2014 were searched. The randomized controlled trial (RCT) which were about cetuximab combined with chemotherapy drugs (experimental group) or only chemotherapy drugs (control group) in treatment of patients with ACRC or mCRC were collected. The software of Review Manager 5.3 was used for meta-analysis. The incidence of equal to or greater than grade 3 adverse reactions of cetuximab combined with chemotherapy drugs or only chemotherapy drugs between the two groups were compared. The results were shown by odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).ResultsA total of 14 papers were enrolled into this Meta-analysis. There were 9 RCTs without the blinding design, 3 RCTs without the number of lost and 2 RCTs without the patients' basic information out of the 14 papers. The result of the test of heterogeneity showed no significant heterogeneity among the RCTs. A total of 9 876 patients were enrolled into the Meta-analysis, including 4 927 patients in the experimental group and 4 949 in the control group. The incidence of 9 kinds of ≥3 grade of adverse reactions among the 11 adverse reactions which reported in the 14 papers in the experimental group were higher than those of the control group, such as acneform rash [14.2% (695/4 886) vs. 0.2% (12/4 926), OR=57.03, 95% CI: 33.85-96.10, P<0.001], oral mucositis [5.4% (134/2 466) vs. 1.9% (48/2507), OR=2.97, 95% CI: 2.13-4.16, P<0.001], hand-foot syndrome [7.9% (114/1 439) vs. 3.1% (45/1 436), OR=2.68, 95%CI: 1.88-3.83, P<0.001], anaphylactic reaction [5.2% (102/1 973) vs. 1.9% (39/2 014), OR=2.66, 95%CI: 1.84-3.86, P<0.001], anorexia [4.3% (124/2 878) vs. 2.4% (70/2 914), OR=1.82, 95%CI: 1.35-2.45, P<0.001], diarrhea [17.9% (876/4886) vs. 12.6%(539/4926), OR=1.80, 95% CI: 1.60-2.02, P<0.001], fatigue [6.4% (242/3 793) vs. 4.2% (162/3 818), OR=1.53, 95% CI: 1.24-1.87, P<0.001], nausea and vomiting [8.4% (380/4 548) vs. 7.1% (325/4 590), OR=1.22, 95%CI: 1.04-1.42, P<0.001], and leucopenia [17.8% (869/4 886) vs. 16.1% (794/4 926), OR=1.14, 95%CI: 1.02-1.27, P=0.02]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of anemia between the experiment group and the control group [2.6% (33/1 258) vs. 2.4% (29/1 231), OR=1.11, 95% CI: 0.68-1.83, P=0.67]. The incidence of peripheral neuropathy in the experiment group was lower than that in the control group[10.5% (170/1 620) vs. 14.7% (237/1 608), OR=0.67, 95%CI: 0.54-0.83, P<0.001]. The sensibility analysis showed the above-mentioned results were steady and dependable.  ConclusionComparison with only using chemotherapeutic drugs in treatment of patients with ACRC or mCRC, cetuximab combined with chemotherapy drugs may increase the incidence of ≥ 3 grade adverse reactions except severe anemia and severe peripheral neuropathy.

    ObjectiveTo know the situation of ME in the present and explore the characteristics of ME between the elderly and non-elderly patients in China.MethodsME reports from September 22, 2012 to June 30, 2015 in the Monitoring Network of Medication Safety in China Core Group of International Network for the Rational Use of Drugs (INRUD) were taken. The patients with age  65 years were entered into the elderly patient group and other patients were entered into the non-elderly patient group. The ME category, the persons that triggered ME, ME content, and drugs related to ME in the 2 groups were analyzed and compared.ResultsWithin A total of 8 421 cases of ME were reported and involved 8 421 patients. Of them, 2 503 patients (29.72%) were in the elderly patient group and 5 918 (70.28%) in the non-elderly patient group. The most errors [98.41%(8 287/8 421)] belonged to the second level of ME which did not induce injury to patients. The difference of distribution of ME with different categories between the elderly and non-elderly patient groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The errors that triggered by doctors and pharmacists were 5 599 cases (66.49%) and 2 567 cases (30.48%), respectively. The errors that triggered by doctors in the elderly patient group were higher than those in the non-elderly patient group [69.64%(1 743/2 503) vs. 65.16%(3 856/5 918)], the errors that triggered by pharmacists in the elderly patient group was lower than those in the non-elderly patient group [27.21%(681/2 503) vs. 31.87%(1 886/5 918)], and the differences between the 2 groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The top 5 errors that triggered by doctors were drug dosage [27.56%(1 543/5 599)], administration frequency [12.40%(694/5 599)], indication [9.09%(509/5 599)], route of administration [8.64%(484/5 599)], and solvent [7.89%(442/5 599)]. The errors about administration frequency, contraindication, and interaction in the elderly patient group were higher than those in the non-elderly patient group (all P<0.05). The top 5 errors that triggered by pharmacists were variety of drugs [51.69%(1 327/2 567)], number of drugs [14.57%(374/2 567)], specification [12.23%(314/2 567)], others [6.31%(162/2 567)], and dosage form [4.25%(109/2 567)]. The errors about number of drugs, administration time, administration frequency, and solvent in the elderly patient group were higher than those in the non-elderly patient group (all P<0.05). There were 6 742 drugs involved in ME, the top 5 drugs were anti-infective agents (1 309 cases, 19.42%), cardiovascular drugs (848 cases, 12.58%), digestive system drugs (649 cases, 9.63%), nervous system drugs (584 cases, 8.66%), and respiratory system drugs (543 cases, 8.05%). The proportions of respiratory system drugs, urinary and reproductive system drugs, allergy and immune system drugs, biological products/vaccines, rheumatoid arthritis and arthritis drugs, and ear/mouth/throat drugs used in the elderly patient group were higher than those in the non-elderly patient group (all P<0.05).Conclusion The most MEs in China belong to the second level which occurred but did not cause injury to the patients, doctors and pharmacists are key personnel that trigger the ME. The doctors or pharmacists that trigger the ME, ME contents, the composition of drugs related to ME are different between the elderly patients and the non-elderly patients. Doctors should pay more attention to frequency of administration, contraindication, and interaction of drugs during prescribing for elderly patients, pharmacists should pay more attention to the number of drugs, administration time, frequency of administration, and solvent during allocating drugs for elderly patients.

    Rabbit syndrome(RS) is a tardive extrapyramidal syndrome associated with prolonged use of drugs, especially antipsychotics. The incidence of RS induced by antipsychotics ranged from 1.5% to 4.4%. The clinical characteristics of RS is fast and rhythmic involuntary movement of oral and masticatory muscles. The mechanism of RS may be associated with imbalance of the cholinergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission in the basal ganglia. RS should be distinguished from tardive dyskinesia. About treatment of RS, anticholinergic agents is the first choice. Some patients switching to an atypical antipsychotic with high anti-cholinergic properties is another treatment strategy.

    A 63-year-old female patient with esophageal cancer received tislelizumab mono- therapy (intravenous infusion of 200-mg once every 21 days) after surgery. The patient had no disease history of chronic liver disease or diabetes mellitus. At day 39 after the fourth cycle of tislelizumab treatment, abnormal liver function was found, with alanine aminotransferase 494-U/L, aspartate aminotransferase 442-U/L, alkaline phosphatase 1-161-U/L, and total bilirubin 21.4-μmol/L. Then no further tislelizumab was given. After excluding liver injury caused by other reasons through liver pathological examination and relevant laboratory tests, it was considered to be related to tislelizumab. After giving methylprednisolone (32-mg/d orally) and liver protective treatments, the patient′s liver function was gradually improved. After 2 weeks of treatment, the dose of methylprednisolone was reduced to 16-mg/d, and 2 weeks later, the patient′s fasting blood glucose rose to 19.4-mmol/L. The dose of methylprednisolone was reduced to 8-mg/d. After 2 days, the blood glucose rose to 33.7-mmol/L, blood lactate 3.66-mmol/L, and urinary ketone (++++). Diabetic ketoacidosis was diagnosed and methylprednisolone was discontinued. The fasting and 2-hour postprandial serum insulin and C-peptide levels were significantly reduced, suggesting the damage of pancreatic islet function. Type 1 diabetes caused by tislelizumab was considered. After treatments such as insulin supplement and correcting acidosis, the patient's liver function was improved. At 8 months of follow-up, the patient′s liver function returned to normal, but long-term insulin supplement was needed to control blood glucose.

    ObjectiveTo understand occurrence and causes of severe medication errors (SME) in hospital and provide a basis for formulating preventive measures.MethodsAdverse drug reactions or adverse events cases which were reported by the Sixth People′s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University from 2010 to 2013 were collected. And the ME cases of category E to I (Categories E through I were respectively errors occurred that may have contributed to or resulted in temporary harm to the patient [E], hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization [F], permanent patient harm [G], required intervention necessary to sustain life [H], and the patient′s death [I]. SME contained ME of category E to I.) were selected and analyzed retrospectively. Main analysis indexes included category, clinical manifestation, triggering factor, and involved drug and department. ResultsA total of 511 adverse drug reactions or adverse events cases were collected. Of them, 80 SME cases (15.66%) were selected. Proportion of SME cases in 2010 to 2013 were respectively 22.52%(59/262), 16.67%(10/60), 3.95%(3/76), and 7.08%(8/113) to all the adverse drug reactions or adverse events cases in that year. Of the 80 SME cases, the proportion in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 were respectively 73.75% (59 cases) , 12.50% (10 cases), 3.75% (3 cases), and 10.00% (8 cases) and the proportion of category E, H, and I were respectively 95.00% (76 cases), 3.75% (3 cases), and 1.25% (1 case). The most manifestation of ME of category E was skin rash and all the symptoms of ME of category H were anaphylactic shock. ME of category I caused the patient′s death. In 80 SME cases, there were 81 records including 78 records (96.30%) of excessive doses for one time and 1 record each of excessive doses for a day, insufficient solvent, and contraindication. The 80 SME cases were related to 18 kinds of drugs and, of them, 76 records (93.83%) were related to 14 kinds of antibacterial agents. The 80 SME cases were associated with 14 departments and the top three were respectively the department of emergency(46.25%, 37/80), osteology(15.00%, 12/80), and general surgery(11.25%, 9/80).ConclusionsThe ME of category E was primary SME in our hospital and the main triggering factor was excessive doses for one time. However, there was 1 ME case of category I which resulted in the patient′s death. So some effective preventive measures should be carried out to strengthen prevention.

    A 44-year-old female patient with acute appendicitis received an IV infusion of piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium 4.5 g once every 8 hours. No other combined drugs were given at the same time. The patient′s alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were 27 U/L and 21 U/L, respectively before treatment. Three days later, the patient′s abdominal pain was alleviated, but her ALT and AST levels increased to 159 U/L and 124 U/L, respectively. It was considered that the liver injury was induced by piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium. The drug was stopped at that day and IV infusion of cefoxitin sodium 2 g+0.9% sodium chloride 100 ml twice daily and magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate injection 0.1 g+5% glucose injection 250 ml once daily were given. On the 5th day of piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium were withdrawn, the patient′s ALT and AST levels were 65 U/L and 32 U/L and on the 42th day, 31 U/L and AST 23 U/L, respectively.

    Colistin is a polypeptide antibiotic that was used in 1960s for the treatment of infections caused by Gramnegative bacteria. Colistin was almost abandoned in the 1980s because of the reported toxicity and the development of new antibacterials. However, the increased incidence of infections by multidrug resistant Gramnegative bacteria has motivated the reintroduction of colistin into the clinical practice. Several studies indicate that colistin is an effective agent for treating multidrug resistant Gramnegative bacterial infections, especially for infections (such as pneumonia, bacteremia, prosthesis arthrosis infection, and urinary infection) caused by multidrug resistant baumanii and pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the clinical response rate is 66.7%~87%. The main adverse reactions of colistin are nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. The incidence rate of nephrotoxicity to colistin was 26.1% in the early years, and was 14% in recent studies. No neuromuscular blockade was found in the recent 15 years. At present, colistinresistant Gramnegative strains develop due to its wide use in clinical practice. Therefore, attention should be paid to the clinical colistin use as follows: the dosage, administration, duration, combination with other nephrotoxic drugs, and rational and safe use in patients with renal insufficiency.

    ObjectiveTo investigate the status and influencing factors of medication error (ME) in traditional Chinese medicine.MethodsME reports in Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 1st, 2014 to November 31st, 2014 were collected from International Network for the Rational Use of Drugs (INRUD).Of them, ME reports of traditional Chinese medicine were selected. Category, content, persons who triggered the ME, triggering factor, persons who found the ME were analyzed descriptively.ResultsA total of 863 ME reports were collected and 477 reports (55.27%) related to traditional Chinese medicine were selected. Of the 477 ME reports, 180 reports(37.74%) were related to Chinese patent drugs and 297 reports (62.26%) were related to Chinese herbal drugs. Four hundred and seventy-seven patients were reported in the 477 ME reports. Of the 477 patients, 218 patients (45.70%) were male, 221(46.33%) were female, and in 38 (7.97%) the sex was not clear. Their ages were from 4 to 92 years and 113 patients(23.69%) were ≥66 years old. Of the 477 MEs, 83 cases (17.40%) belonged to category A, 389 cases(81.55%) belonged to category B, 5 cases(1.05%) belonged to category C, and none of the patients were hurt. The dosage errors in content of MEs ranked the first and accounted for 31.03% (148/477), errors of drug category ranked the second and accounted for 12.16% (58/477). In persons who triggered the ME, doctors accounted for 68.13% (325/477), pharmacists accounted for 23.06% (110/477). Four hundred and sixty-seven cases of the 477 MEs were caused by a factor, 28 cases were caused by 2 kinds of factors, 10 cases were caused by 3 kinds of factors, and a total of 525 person-time MEs were reported. Lack of professional knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine was the first triggering factor and accounted for 24.57%(129/525), fatigue was the second triggering factor and accounted for 17.72%(93/525). The main persons who found the MEs were pharmacists with primary and medium professional titles and accounted for 61.49% (289/470) and 36.81% (173/470), respectively. ConclusionsMEs related to traditional Chinese medicine accounted for half of all MEs and most of them were related to Chinese herbal drugs. The main persons who triggered the MEs were doctors and pharmacists. The main triggered factors were lack of professional knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and fatigue. Pharmacists play an important role to find and correct ME related to traditional Chinese medicine in time for protecting the patient′s medication safety.

    To evaluate the bioequivalence and safety of domestic and original pyrazinamide tablets under fasting condition. Methods A single center, randomized, open-label, two period self-crossover trial was conducted in healthy adult volunteers. The test preparation (T) of pyrazinamide tablets was produced by Taicang Pharmaceutical Factory and the reference preparation (R) was produced by A&Z Pharmaceutical Inc. (Pyrazinamide-). The healthy subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups and took the drugs for 2 times with different order in each group, which were R-T group (subjects took R on day 1 and then T on day 8) and T-R group (subjects took T on day 1 and then R on day 8). Pharmacokinetic parame- ters were used as endpoints to assess the bioequivalence. Peripheral venous blood samples (3-ml) were collected from subjects within 1 hour before taking the drug and at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 150, 180, and 210-minutes and 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, and 48-hours after taking the drug. Plasma was frozen after centrifugation of the blood samples. The plasma pyrazinamide concentrations were determined by a tandem liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method and the main pharmacokinetic parameters such as peak concentration (Cmax) and the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), including AUC from time zero (pre-dose) to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t) and AUC from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞), were calculated. The test and reference preparations were judged as bioequivalence when the 90% confidence intervals (CI) of geometric mean ratios for AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, and Cmax all ranged from 0.80 to 1.25. Adverse events occurred in subjects during the trial were observed and recorded. Results A total of 24-healthy volunteers were enrolled in the trial, including 16 males and 8 females aged 18-50 years, with 12 in the R-T and T-R groups, respectively. All subjects completed the trial. After taking medicine under fasting condition, the 90%CI of the geometric mean ratios of Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞ for the test and reference prepa- rations were 0.93-1.09, 0.98-1.03, and 0.98-1.03, respectively. During the trial, the incidence of adverse events was 25.0% (6/24) and 3 cases occurred after taking the test and reference preparations respectively, which were grade 1 in severity. Conclusion The domestic and original pyrazinamide tablets were bioequivalence and with good safety when taken under fasting condition.

    Objective To understand the clinical features of vancomycin-associated drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) in children. Methods Case reports on vancomycin-associated DIHS in children were collected by searching the relevant databases home and abroad up to May 31, 2020. Patients′ relevant information (sex, age, primary disease, time from medication to onset of DIHS, main symptoms, organs and systems involved, hematological changes, RegiSCAR score, treatment and outcome) was extracted and descriptively analyzed. Results A total of 12 children with DIHS caused by vancomycin were enrolled in the study, including 10 males and 2 females. Their ages ranged from 22 months to 17 years, with a median age of 14 years. The median time from vancomycin exposure to occurrence of DIHS was 17 days, ranging from 5 to 35 days. The main clinical features were fever (12 patients, 100.0%), rash (12 patients, 100.0%), lymphadenopathy (8 patients, 66.7%), and mucosal injury (5 patients, 41.7%). Among the 12 children, 9 (75.0%) had liver injury, 4 (33.3%) had kidney injury, 2 (16.7%) had lung injury, 1 (8.3%) had spleen injury, and 1 (8.3%) had myocardial injury. Blood routine examination showed increased eosino- philia in the 11 children (91.7%) and increased atypical lymphocytosis in 5 children (41.7%). After the diagnosis of DIHS, vancomycin was discon-tinued in all the 12 children. After treatments with glucocorticoids, antihistamines, gammaglobulins, etc. (1 patient underwent liver transplantation), 11 children (91.7%) were improved and 1 (8.3%) died. Conclusions The clinical manifestations of DIHS caused by vancomycin in children are typical, mainly manifested by fever, rash, lymphadenopathy, etc. The damaged organs are mainly the liver, followed by the kidneys. Most of the children have a good prognosis, and a few may have severe organ damage leading to death.

    Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used for treatment of rheumatic and cardiovascular diseases in clinical practice. The most common adverse reactions to NSAIDs are gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, and severe reactions are peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation. The pathogenesis of gastrointestinal injury is that NSAIDs inhibit COX enzyme system, thus blocking the prostaglandin synthesis; in turn, interferes with normal mucosal protective mechanisms, leading to local injury. The risk factors for gastrointestinal injury induced by NSAIDs are old age, a history of peptic ulcers or bleeding of gastrointestinal tract. Ways of preventing NSAIDsinduced gastrointestinal injury include the use of ulcer-preventing drugs, the choice of new high-selective COX-2 inhibitors, the use of antiHelicobacter pylori therapy according the patient's condition, and taking different therapeutic programs based on patientrelated risk factors.

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of tigecycline-associated hypofibrinogenemia in critically ill patients, and analyze risk factors for its occurrence. Methods Clinical data of patients treated with tigecycline in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University from January 2021 to December 2022 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into hypofibrinogenemia group and non-hypofibrinogenemia group according to their fibrinogen levels. General information, laboratory tests results, tigecycline application, combined drugs, and blood concentration of tigecycline were compared between the 2 groups. Variables with P<0.10 in intergroup comparisons were included in a multivariate logistic regression model to analyze the risk factors for tigecycline-associated hypofibrinogenemia, and odds ratios (OR) and its 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Results A total of 79 patients using tigecycline were collected, including 43 cases with hypofibrinogenemia and 36 cases without hypofibrinogenemia. Univariate analysis showed that the differences in patients with diabetes [41.9%(18/43) vs. 16.7%(6/36)], acute kidney injury [41.9%(18/43) vs. 19.4%(15/36)], and baseline fibrinogen (before tigecycline treatment) ≤4 g/L [37.2%(16/43) vs. 16.7%(6/36)] between the 2 groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The related factors (P<0.10) of the 2 groups, including diabetes, acute renal injury, continuous renal replacement therapy, baseline FIB ≤4 g/L (before using tigecycline), larger total dose of tegacycline and longer treatment duration, were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. The results showed that diabetes (OR=4.851, 95%CI: 1.180-19.494, P=0.029), continuous renal replacement therapy (OR=8.610, 95%CI: 1.987-37.311, P=0.004), and longer treatment duration (OR=1.452, 95%CI: 1.018-2.071, P=0.040) were independent risk factors for tigecycline-related hypofibrinogenemia. Conclusion In critically ill patients, with diabetes, continuous renal replacement therapy, and longer treatment duration of tigecycline may increase the risk of hypofibrinogenemia.

    Objective To investigate the protective effect of reduced glutathione (GSH) on diclo- fenac-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in rats and its mechanism. Methods Thirty-three male 8-week-old specified pathogen-free SD rats were randomly divided into control, model, and GSH groups (11 rats in each group) according to a random number table method. Diclofenac sodium solution (200-mg/kg) was intragastrically administered to rats in the model group and GSH group to establish the AKI model. Thirty minutes later, rats in the GSH group were treated with intragastric administration of GSH solution (500-mg/kg), while rats in the control and model groups were with 0.9% sodium chloride injection of equal volume. After 24-hours of administration, blood sample was collected and kidneys were isolated. Kidney function [blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr)], kidney histopathology, and serum and kidney tissue oxidative stress indicators such as malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and the inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin 6 (IL-6) were examined. The results of each examination results among rats of the 3 groups were compared. Results The BUN and Scr in rats of the model group were significantly higher than those in the control and GSH groups[BUN: (14.34±8.47) mmol/L vs. (7.89±2.20) and (8.46±3.58) mmol/L; Scr: (34.44±6.56) μmol/L vs. (24.77±9.50) and (29.28±4.33) μmol/L, all P<0.05]. Glomerular and tubular morphological changes were observed in both model and GSH rats, but the change in rats of GSH group was less severe than that of the model group. The mean levels of MDA, TNF-α, and IL-6 in both serum and kidney tissue in rats of GSH group were significantly lower than those of the model group[MDA: (9.5±0.2) nmol/ml vs. (10.2±0.6) nmol/ml, (3.6±0.3) nmol/ml vs. (4.0±0.2) nmol/ml; TNF-α: (2.9±2.5) pg/ml vs. (5.4±3.0) pg/ml, (420.9±40.3) pg/ml vs. (470.4±31.3) pg/ml; IL-6: (92.1±34.4) pg/ml vs. (123.9±16.6) pg/ml, (7-547±604) pg/ml vs. (8-047±470) pg/ml, all P<0.05], while the activity of SOD was significantly higher than that in the model group[(102.8±2.8) U/ml vs. (99.7±4.1) U/ml, (387.0±12.7) U/ml vs. (375.9±11.7) U/ml, all P<0.05]. Conclusion GSH has a protective effect on diclofenac-induced acute kidney injury in rats, and its possible mechanism is to inhibit oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions.

    Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC)-related leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV). Methods PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, Ovid, and Scopus databases were searched as of August 2020 and case reports on NOAC-related LCV were collected. Relevant information in patients including gender, age, primary disease, co-existing disease, NOAC application, combined medication, LCV occurrence, treatment and outcome of LCV, and etc. was extracted and analyzed using descriptive statistical method. Results A total of 13 patients were collected; 6 were from the United States, 2 from Turkey, 2 from Spain, and 3 from Greece, South Korea, and Denmark, respectively. There were 8 males and 5 females, aged 29 to 95 years, and 9 patients were ≥60 years old.   Apixaban was applied in 5 patients, rivaroxaban in 5 patients, and dabigatran etexilate in 3 patients. Dose of NOAC was recorded in 7 patients, all of which were within the recommended range of the instructions. Time from taking NOAC to the occurrence of LCV was recorded in 12 patients, ranging from 3-18 days (7-10 days in 7 patients) after the first medication. All 13 patients developed skin lesions, presenting as purpura and/or rash. Skin lesions involved limbs and trunk in 4 patients, lower limbs in 7 patients, lower limbs and trunk in 1 patient, and upper limbs and trunk in 1 patient. Twelve patients underwent skin biopsy at the lesion site; 11 patients had neutrophil infiltration and 1 had only eosinophil infiltration. NOAC was stopped in all the 13 patients after diagnosis of LCV. Among them, other anticoagulants were switched in 12 patients and glucocorticoids were given in 9 patients. Finally, 8 were cured and 5 were improved. Conclusions NOAC-related LCV usually occurred 7-10 days after the first medication, mainly manifested as purpura and rash and often involved the lower extremities. The prognosis was good after drug withdrawal and appropriate application of glucocorticoid according to patient conditions.

    Objective: To study the toxic effects of ethyl acetate, nbutanol, and water extracts from 65% alcohol extractions of cocklebur fruit on liver in rats in order to provide a basis for a further investigation of the toxic constituents of cocklebur fruit (Fructus Xanthii). Methods:Twentytwo kilogram of ground cocklebur fruit was macerated in 8-fold amounts of 65% alcohol for 6 hours, and then was extracted by heating under a reflux condenser for 2 hours. The total number of extracting was two times. The alcohol extractions were combined, and the alcohol were retrieved with vaccum distillation till no smell of alcohol. The extractions were concentrated further. The concentrated solution was extracted with petroleum ether, followed by retrieval of petroleum ether. The extractions were extracted with ethyl acetate and nbutanol in turn. The solvents were retrieved and then the water layer was evaporated to dryness with vaccum evaporator. Four point eight gram of ethyl acetate extracts, 24 g of nbutanol extracts,and 56 g of water extracts were mixed with 2000 mL of normal saline solution containing 3% Tween80, respectively. The concentration of the suspensions were 0.0024, 0.012, and 0.028 g/ml, respectively. Forty SPF male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups and each group comprised 10 rats. The three drugexposed groups were gavaged with 2.5 mL of ethyl acetate, nbutanol, and water extract suspensions twice daily, respectively (the dosage was 0.06 g/kg, 0.3 g/kg, 0.7 g/kg daily, respectively). The empty control group was gavaged with same volume of normal saline solution containing Tween80 twice daily. The duration of gavage was 28 days. The appearance, diet, and activities of rats were observed. The body weight of the rats were weighted before drug administration and 14, 21, and 28 days after drug initiation. On day 29, serum levels of ALT, AST, AKP, TBil, and DBil were measured. Subsequently, the rats were sacrificed and the liver index was calculated and changes in histomorphology were observed. Results: The rats in the water extract group developed lusterless fur and decrease in diet and activities 7 days after drug initiation. The rats in the nbutanol extract group developed lusterless fur and listlessness 14 and 21 days after drug initiation as well as erect hair and lassitude 28 days after drug initiation. The rats in the ethyl acetate extract group had no marked changes. The body weight of rats in the nbutanol extract group were (240.6±24.1) and (255.1±21.3)g 21 and 28 days after drug initiation, respectively. The body weight of rats in the water extract group were respectively (214.2±20.5),(230.7±21.2), and (239.1±18.5)g 14, 21, and 28 days after drug initiation, and their body weight were all lower than that of the rats in the empty control group at the same time points [(251.7±27.2),(280.7±38.2), and(306.2±36.5)g, (P<0.05, P<0.01)]. The AST levels in the nbutanol extract group was(112.6±24.3)U/L, which was marked higher than that [(79.9±20.4)U/L] in the empty control group ( P<0.01). The levels of ALT, AST, and AKP in the water extract group were respectively (51.1±3.9),(112.9±16.6), and (198.4±41.8)U/L, which were marked higher than those [(44.3±6.2), (79.9±20.4) and (152.2±39.9)U/L] in the empty control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The liver indexes in the ethyl acetate extract and water extract groups were respectively 4.71±0.89, and 5.80±0.64, which were marked higher than that (3.14±0.33) in the empty control group (P<0.01). The levels of TBil and DBil in all the drugexposed groups increased, but there were no statistically significant differences(P>0.05). In the nbutanol extract and water extract groups, the pathological changes such as enlarged hepatic cell space, karyolysis, and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed under the light microscope. Conclusion:The nbutanol extracts and water extracts from alcohol extractions of cocklebur fruit have marked hepatotoxicity to rats.

    Objective: To study the mechanism of nephrotoxicity from aristolochic acid-I(AA-I)in terms of toxicokinetics. Methods: AA-I extracted from Aristolochia Fangchi (containing 80.5% of AA-I)was orally administered to male Wistar rats in a dose of 125、62.5、15.2mg/kg respectively,and the samples (plasm,bile,urine,faeces and organs) were collected in accordance with experimental design. AA-I and its metabolite aristololactam-I (AL-I) in samples were determined by HPLC method. Meanwhile,the changes in renal function and pathology were examined. Results: The metabolism of AA-I in a toxic dose was correspondence to two-compartment model.The main toxicokinetics parameters of AA-I in a dose of 125 and 62.5mg/kg were as follows respectively: T1/2α1.03h、0.45h,T1/2β6.10h?6.54h,CL 3.021.41 ml/(min·kg),AUC 33.10、35.22 μg/(ml·h),Tpeak 0.62、1.35h. AA-I and AL-I were distributed in all organs,and the acumulation of AA-I and AL-I in organs was obvious. Compared with the blank group,BUN and Cr in middle and high dosage group were obviously high(P< 0.01). The histological and pathological examination showed that crescent formation of glomerular capsule and necrosis of renal tubule in high dosage group. Conclusion: The metabolism of Aristolochia Fangchi extract in a toxic dose was correspondence to two-compartment model,and the distribution of AA-I and AL-I was wide and the accumulation of them was specific. The severity of renal impairment of rats was especially related to the concentration of AL-I in kidney.

    ObjectiveTo validate the effects of the etiological judgment model for poisoning event in a poisoning event caused by Aconitum in Tacheng District, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Methods The main point of the etiological judgment model for poisoning event was synthesized determination according to the results of the scene, cases and laboratory research. After receiving the report of poisoning event, the specialists in local Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) hastened to the scene to conduct epidemiological investigation, to obtain the clinical features of the poisoning patients, and to collect the specimen of blood and vomitus of patients and the fresh sample of suspicious poisonous plants. Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention organized the relevant institutes to conduct morphological and DNA molecular identification of the poisonous plant, toxin detection of the blood and vomitus specimen. The above-mentioned results were synthesized to determine the poisoning reason and provide guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment.ResultsOn May 30, 2010, 13 staffs in a metal company in Tacheng District picked and ate the “wild celery” which grew in nearby mountain. Within 15 to 30 minutes after eating the “wild celery”, they successively developed numbness in mouth, lips, and limbs, as well as asthenia, nausea and vomiting. They were sent to a local hospital, 4 patients died on the way to the hospital,other 9 patients received rescue therapy in the hospital, 2 of them died about 4 hours after poisoning despite resuscitation attemempts. The morphological identification of fresh sample of suspected poisonous plants was demonstrated as Aconitum, Raunnculaceae. Aconitine was detected in a vomitus specimen and 3 blood specimens. The aconitine content in blood specimens were 0.17, 0.25 and 0.48 μg/L, respectively. The result of DNA molecular identification showed that the fresh leaves of suspected poisonous plants collected from the scene belonged to the same species of Acontium. This event was determined as a sudden poisoning event caused by picking and eating Acontium stems and leaves by mistaken.ConclusionThe etiological judgment model for poisoning event might play an important guiding role in the determination of the cause of poisoning events.

    A 70-year-old male patient was treated with venetoclax 100 mg orally once daily for acute myeloid leukemia. Before treatment, laboratory tests showed serum potassium 3.61 mmol/L, serum calcium 1.88 mmol/L, inorganic phosphate 1.33 mmol/L, serum uric acid 276.3 μmol/L, aspartate amino- transferase (AST) 23 U/L, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) 179 U/L, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) 797 U/L. Six hours later of medication, the patient experienced chest tightness, wheezing, fever with chills, and the highest body temperature was 38.3 ℃. Laboratory tests showed serum potassium 5.54 mmol/L, serum calcium 1.76 mmol/L, inorganic phosphate 3.41 mmol/L, serum uric acid 827.2 μmol/L, AST 205 U/L, GGT 157 U/L, LDH 4 789 U/L, and D-dimer 51.19 mg/L, respectively. It was considered that there was a high possibility of tumor lysis induced by venetoclax, and the drug was immediately stopped. Symptomatic treatments were given, including oxygen inhalation, electrocardiogram monitoring, fluid infusion, alkalinization of urine, and uric acid reduction. The fever of the patient was alleviated on the day of drug withdrawal, the symptoms of chest distress and asthma were improved the next day, and 3 days later, laboratory tests showed serum potassium 4.24 mmol/L, serum calcium 2.02 mmol/L, inorganic phosphate 1.76 mmol/L, serum uric acid 275.0 μmol/L, AST 37 U/L, GGT 80U/L, LDH 1 146 U/L, and D-dimer 7.97 mg/L; venetoclax treatment was resumed and the tumor lysis syndrome-related symptoms did not recur.

    Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) is a class of high-profile immunotherapy drugs for tumor, which has showed remarkable efficacy in the treatment of a variety of malignant tumors. However, ICI can also induce a series of immune-related adverse events (irAE), which are common in endocrine system with an incidence of about 40%. The irAE in endocrine system has obvious impacts on the efficacy of ICI for primary diseases and quality of life in patients, which may even be life-threatening. It is suggested that the diagnosis and treatment of irAE in endocrine system should be improved through further strengthening the research on the mechanism, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of irAE, constructing multidisciplinary teams on diagnosis and treatment, and performing whole process management of tumor patients treated with ICI.

    To explore the safety of fetus exposed to telbivudine in mother’s uterus. Methods The subjects were neonates whose mother underwent prenatal examination and delivered in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 1 to November 15, 2012. All neonates were divided into 2 groups: the telbivudine group (the neonates borne by HBV-infected mothers receiving telbivudine 600 mg once daily during pregnancy) and the control group (the neonates borne by HBV-infected mothers receiving no either telbivudine or the same kind of drugs during pregnancy). All neonates’gender, birth weight and their mothers’age, parity, gestational weeks, and delivery pattern in the 2 groups were compared. The venous blood of neonates in the 2 groups were collected at birth and the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (α-HBDH), creatine kinase (CK), and its isoenzyme (CK-MB) in the 2 groups were detected. ResultsThirty-one neonates entered into the telbivudine group and 35 neonates entered into the control group. There were no statistically significant differences in the neonates’gender, birth weight and their mothers’age, parity, gestational weeks, and delivery pattern in the 2 groups. There were no statistically significant differences in the levels of ALT, AST, LDH, α-HBDH, CK, CK-MB, and CK-MB/CK in the neonates in the 2 groups. ConclusionThere are no marked influence on levels of liver enzyme and myocardial enzyme in neonates borne by HBV-infected mothers receiving telbivudine during pregnancy, and the adverse influence of telbivudine on neonate safety has not been found.

    Objective To explore the clinical features of dropped head syndrome(DHS) related to mitogen-activated extracellular signal regulated kinase inhibitors. Methods Case reports of dropped head syndrome caused by MEK inhibitors were collected by searching PubMed and Embase databases as of December 20, 2020. The following information of patients including gender, age, primary diseases, use of MEK inhibitors, occurrence time and clinical symptoms of DHS, and treatments and outcomes were extracted and analyzed descriptively. Results A total of 7 patients were entered; 4 from the United States, 2 from France, and 1 from Germany. There were 4 males and 3 females, aged from 56 to 76 years. The primary diseases were metastatic melanoma in 6 patients and Erdheim‐Chester disease in 1 patient. Of them, 3 patients were treated with selumetinib, 2 were with cobimetinib, and 1 was with binimetinib and trametinib respectively. Time from the first application of MEK inhibitors to the onset of DHS was from 0.5 to 20 months with a median time of 1 (1, 2) month. Major symptoms of DHS were neck pain, neck extensor weakness, and limited head lifting, which might be accompanied by neck stiffness in some patients. The pain on the neck could spread to the shoulders and occipital region, and a few patients might only have interscapular pain. At the time of diagnosis of DHS, the serum concentration of creatine kinase (CK) was elevated (150~1-011-U/L). After the diagnosis of DHS, 5 patients stopped taking MEK inhibitors and DHS symptoms were relieved or disappeared; 2 patients were treated with glucocorticoids for 1 to 4 weeks, but DHS symptoms were not relieved, then they stopped taking MEK inhibitors and DHS symptoms were improved. In total, the symptoms of DHS in the 7 patients were relieved after 14-30 days of MEK inhibitors withdrawal, with serum CK returning to within normal range. Three patients rechallenged MEK inhibitors with reduced doses; 1 patient had no recurrence of DHS and the remaining 2 patients had mild recurrences of DHS, which could resolve spontaneously or stay a stable condition. Conclusions DHS related to MEK inhibitors usually occurs within 1 month of medication, accompanied by an increase in CK level. The symptoms can be relieved or disappear after stopping medication in time and CK level will return to normal.

    Coriaria sinica Maxim is a Chinese herbal medicine. The plant contains sesquiterpene lactons, of which the main toxic components are coriamyrtin, tutin, etc. Coriamyrtin and tutin are a antagonist of γ-aminobutyric acid receptor. They cause the stimulation of the central nervous system and the enhancement of the spinal cord reflex, leading to convulsions. All parts of the plants are toxic, especially in unripe fruits. Ingesting the fruits 15~60 g may cause intoxication. The LD50 of coriamyrtin in mice by intramuscular injection is 1.75 mg/kg. Reports of accidental poisoning in children who eating the fruits are frequent. Generally, the onset time of intoxication symptoms after ingestion of Coriaria sinica Maxim is 0.5~3 h. Early symptoms of Coriaria sinica Maxim poisoning are nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, chest distress, abdominal disomfort. Anxiety, restlessness, increased blood pressure, accelerated respiration, generalized convulsion follow. The patients often died from cardiopulmonary arrest. Management includes gastric lavage, catharsis, administration with diazepam or phenobarbital, symptomatic and supportive treatment.

    Objective To explore the effect of network medication guidance on anticoagulation management of warfarin. Methods The study was designed as the retrospective cohort study. Study subjects were selected from patients who underwent cardiac valve replacement during January 2018 and April 2019 in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, and took oral warfarin for 3 months or more after operation. According to the mode of revisit, the patients were divided into 4 groups: 1-month post-operation network group (INR review results were uploaded online for more than 2 times within 1 month after operation), 1-month post-operation control group (INR was reviewed in Xiangya Hospital 1 month after the operation and INR data was recorded), 3-month post-operation network group (INR review results were uploaded online for more than 4 times within 3 months after operation), and 3-month post-operation control group (INR was reviewed in Xiangya Hospital 3 months after the operation and INR data was recorded). The gender and age distribution of patients in the network group and the control group, as well as INR and INR compliance rate at 1 or 3 months after operation were compared. Results A total of 420 patients underwent cardiac valve replacement in Xiangya Hospital during the study period, and all of them were prescribed warfarin for anticoagulation. Among the 420 patients, 266 patients (63.3%) had network or Xiangya Hospital revisit records 1 month after operation, 71 of which were included in the 1-month post-operation network group and 178 of which in the 1-month post-operation control group; 132 (31.4%) patients had network or Xiangya Hospital revisit records 3 month after operation, 46 of which were included in the 3-month post-operation network group and 77 of which in the 3-month post-operation control group. Patients in the 1-month post-operation network group had lower age, higher INR compliance rate, and lower incidence of insufficient anticoagulation than those in the 1-month post-operation control group, and the differences were all statistically significant [(49±10) years vs. (53±11) years, P=0.009; 64.8%(46/71) vs. 45.5%(81/178), P=0.006; 21.1%(15/71) vs. 46.6%(83/178), P<0.001]. Patients in the 3-month post-operation network group had higher INR, higher INR compliance rate, and lower incidence of insufficient anticoagulation than those in the 3-month post-operation control group, and the differences were all statistically significant [(2.05±0.45) vs. (1.84±0.62), P=0.044; 67.4% (31/46) vs. 30.9% (30/97), P=0.002; 30.4% (14/46) vs. 54.5% (42/77), P=0.009]. Conclusions Network medication guidance is helpful to improve the effect of warfarin anticoagulation management and improve the INR compliance rate of patients after cardiac valve replacement. The main manifestation of substandard anticoagulation is insufficient anticoagulation, which should be paid attention to.

    A 57-year-old male patient was given pemetrexed and carboplatin chemotherapy (on day 1) combined with camrelizumab (on day 2) immunotherapy for lung adenocarcinoma, 21 days for a cycle. The patient developed elevated alanine aminotransferase after medication in the 2nd and 3rd cycle, which was considered to be caused by chemotherapy. Then the chemotherapy was stopped and only immunotherapy was continued. After the 4th immunotherapy, vascular nevus appeared on the patient′s face, neck, and back, ranging in different sizes (0.1-1.2-cm), red or red and black, and higher than the skin surface. It was considered to be the reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation caused by camrelizumab. Due to patient′s condition, immunotherapy was continued. Vascular nevus with larger size was surgically removed and bevacizumab was added to prevent angiogenesis. At 6-month of follow-up, the vascular nevus was found not at the excision site but in other parts.

    Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare but extremely serious adverse reaction of interferon (IFN). The onset of PAH in patients treated with IFNα was earlier than that in patients treated with IFNβ. The symptoms in most patients could be alleviated or recovered after discontinuing IFN and/or receiving PAH-targeted drug therapy, but a few patients might develop irreversible PAH, which even led to death. Possible risk factors for IFN-associated PAH included portal hypertension, human immunodeficiency virus infection, connective tissue diseases, valvular heart diseases, diabetes mellitus, and etc. The patho- genesis of IFN-associated PAH remains unclear at present. Patients treated with IFN should be examined by echocardiography and right heart catheterization as soon as they have symptoms such as dyspnea and impaired exercise tolerance. After the diagnosis of PAH, IFN should be discontinued immediately and PAH-targeted drug therapy should be given.

    Sleepwalking is a sleep disorder characterized by walking or other unusual behaviors or activities during sleep, and it usually occurs during the slowwave stages of non-rapid eye movement sleep. Sleepwalking caused by drugs is called druginduced sleepwalking. The common drugs causing sleepwalking were sedative hypnotics, antipsychotic drug, antidepressant, and so on. It is said that the development of druginduced sleepwalking may need a combination of factors: a history of sleepwalking, a drug increasing slowwave sleep, and a external and internal stimulus. The mechanism of druginduced sleepwalking is not well understood. A hypothesis is proposed that some neurotransmitter such as serotonin and gammaaminobutyric acid can increase slowwave sleep, leading sleepwalk. The principle of treatment for druginduced sleepwalking includes decrease in dosage or cessation of causative drugs, removal of risk factors, making safe environment, and administration with benzodiazepines.

    Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic inflammatory liver disease in which the body's own immune system destroys liver cells. It is believed that the main causes of AIH may be linked to a combination of genetic factors and environmental factors. The environmental factors include viruses, toxin, drugs, and so on. As for the drugs, studies show that minocycline, interferon, statins, clometacin, and infliximab can induce hepatocellular injury in genetically predisposed patients. The onset time of druginduced autoimmune hepatitis (DAIH) is 2~24 months after medication. About 80%~90% of patients are women. The manifestations of DAIH are fatigue, anorexia, and upper abdominal discomfort, jaundice, hepatomegaly accompanied by fever, skin rash, and arthralgia. The clinical characteristics are as follows: lower frequency; dose independence; a long interval between initiation of drug therapy and disease development; hypergammaglobulinemia and high titer of autoantibodies (such as ANA and ASMA). Currently, the most effective therapy for DAIH is immune suppression. Most patients' condition improves after treatment with glucocorticosteroid alone or in combination with azathioprine.

    Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug,and is a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase type 2(cox-2).It is well tolerated,and has a relatively low occurrence of adverse drug reactions especially in the gastrointestinal tract.Recently,in some countries nimesulide has been withdrawn from the market because of nimesulide-induced severe liver injury and death.However,finalising a review of liver safety of nimesulide the European Medicines Agency(EMEA) has concluded that the benefits of the drug still outweigh its risks,but that there is need to restrict its use.The pathogenic mechanisms of nimesulide-induced liver injury are unclear,possibly associated with the immunologic and metabolic idiosyncratic reactions.The precautions against nimesulide-induced liver injury include administering nimesulide only in a good indication;limiting the drug to a maximum duration of 15 days;avoiding high dosage and drug combinations;administering the medication with cautions in the elder and wo men;avoiding use in children;monitoring liver function in case the duration of nimesulide use is more than 1 week.

    A 54-year-old female patient with aortic dissection received parenteral nutrition treatments due to malnutrition risk, including IV infusions of fat emulsion amino acid (17) and glucose (11%) injection 1 440-ml once daily, compound amino acid injection (18 AA-II) 250-ml once daily, and medium and long chain fat emulsion injection (C6-24) 250-ml once daily. Other treatments included drugs to maintain blood pressure and control heart rate, analgesics, 10% potassium chloride injection, etc. The laboratory tests before treatments showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 36-U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 35 U/L, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT) 51-U/L, total bilirubin (TBil) 8.3-μmol/L, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 129 U/L. After 8 days of parenteral nutrition treatments, laboratory tests showed ALT 343-U/L, AST 357 U/L, γ-GT 343-U/L, TBil 21.4-μmol/L, and ALP 376-U/L. The liver injury caused by parenteral nutrition was considered. Parenteral nutrition was stopped, other treatments were continued, and liver-protective treatments such as glutathione combined with diethylamine dichloroacetate were given. Eight days later, the laboratory test showed ALT 42-U/L, AST 29-U/L, γ-GT 55-U/L, TBil 8.4-μmol/L, and ALP 107-U/L.

    Objective To explore the effects of inhaled budesonide (i-BUD) on the growth rate and height of asthmatic children. Methods Databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang were searched (up to April 30, 2022), and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and high-quality cohort studies on the effects of i-BUD on growth rate and height in asthmatic children were collected. Patients in the observation group were treated with i-BUD, and those in the control group were treated with placebo or no drug. The outcome index was the height and growth rate of the children in short- and long-term treatment with i-BUD. The Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias assessment tool was used for methodological quality assessment of RCT studies, and the Newcastle Ottawa scale (NOS) was used for quality assessment of cohort studies. Stata 11.0-software was used for the meta-analysis, and the effect sizes were expressed as mean difference (MD) with its 95% confidence interval (CI). Results A total of 16-studies were included in the meta-analysis (15 RCTs and 1 cohort study), including 2-578 patients in the observation group and 2-422 in the control group. Risk of bias was low in 9 of the 15 RCTs, high in 2 RCTs, and unclear in 4 RCTs. The NOS score of the only prospective cohort study was 8 (high quality). The short-term effects of i-BUD on the growth rate of the lower limbs in children were examined in 6 studies. The exposure time to i-BUD in children in the observation group ranged from 2 to 8 weeks and the meta-analysis showed that the growth rate of lower limbs of children was significantly slower than that of children in the control group (MD=-0.18-mm/week, 95%CI: -0.24--0.13 mm/week, P<0.01). Subgroup analysis by dose showed that the growth rate of children′s lower limbs was similar in the 2 groups at 200 μg/d of inhaled i-BUD (MD=-0.10-mm/week, 95%CI: -0.25-0.05 mm/week, P=0.209); the growth rate of children′s lower limbs was significantly lower in the observation group at 400-μg/d and 800-μg/d of inhaled i-BUD than that in the control group (MD=-0.17-mm/week, 95%CI: -0.23--0.10 mm/week, P<0.01; MD=-0.34-mm/week, 95%CI: -0.48--0.20 mm/week, P<0.01). The effect of long-term (≥1 year) exposure to i-BUN on children′s height was observed in 10 studies. The meta-analysis showed that the height of children under long-time exposure to i-BUD was significantly lower than that of children in the control group (MD=-0.72-cm, 95%CI: -0.86--0.58 cm, P<0.01). The subgroup analysis according to the i-BUD exposure time showed that the height of children with 1-year, 2-years, and 4-6 years of i-BUD exposure was significantly lower than that in the corresponding control group (MD=-0.60-cm, 95%CI: -0.75--0.44 cm, P<0.01; MD=-1.30-cm, 95%CI: -1.70--0.90 cm, P<0.01; MD=-1.15-cm, 95%CI: -1.67--0.64 cm, P<0.01), but the impact of i-BUD on height of children was not significant when the average exposure time was 9.2 years (MD=-0.60-cm, 95%CI: -2.15-0.95 cm, P=0.448). Conclusion Short-term and long-term application of i-BUN both may affect the growth rate and height of asthmatic children.

    Targeted therapy is one of the important methods of treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have the characteristics of high efficacy and low toxicity, and are used in the precise treatment in NSCLC patients with gene mutation. Common gene mutations include genes encoding epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Different patients have different responses to TKIs. Monitoring the blood concentration of TKIs can help better predict the clinical outcome (efficacy/toxicity) and optimize the treat strategies. In this paper, the relevant literature at home and abroad in the past 10 years are searched, and the relationship between the blood trough concentration of EGFR-TKI and ALK-TKI commonly used in clinic and the efficacy/toxicity are reviewed.

    Mercaptopurine is used to treat children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Mercaptopurine can cause bone marrow suppression and liver toxicity, threatening the lives of children, resulting in interruption or discontinuation of the chemotherapy, increasing the risk of disease recurrence. The mercaptopurine dosage regimens should be adjusted according to drug metabolizing enzyme genotypes, detection of intra-erythrocytic metabolic products, and creating a physical model. Individualized administration should be adopted in order to improve the efficacy and safety of mercaptopurine.

    Puerarin is a kind of isoflavones extracted from dried roots of Pueraria lobata (Willd.) Ohwi or Pueraria thomsonii benth.. Puerarin injection is used in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In recent years, reports about acute intravascular hemolysis induced by puerarin injection have increased. By searching domestic related literature between 1993 and 2005, 32 patients with puerarin injectioninduced acute intravascular hemolysis were collected. They comprised 21 men and 11 women with average age of (69±9) years. Of them, 10 patients died with average age of (72 ± 5) years. Of 25 patients with complete data, 21 patients received puerarin injection alone and 3 received combination therapy; and intravenous infusion of puerarin 100700 mg dissolved in 0.9% sodium chloride or 5% glucose was given; the duration of drug use was 5-10 days in 22 cases and >10 days in 3 cases. The clinical manifestations of intravascular hemolysis were mainly lumbago, backache, hematuria, oliguria, hemoglobinuria, increased reticulocyte count(0.05-0.30), and hyperbilirubinemia(29.1-123.2μmol/L).Twentytwo patients’symptoms disappeared or stabilized after stopping drug therapy and giving glucocorticoid, antihistamines or hemodialysis treatment. The possible factors for puerarin injectioninduced intravascular hemolysis were the quality of puerarin injection, allergic diathesis and age of patients, duration of drug use, and combination therapy. The mechanism may be related to immune and nonimmune response induced by puerarin injection or its promoting oxidative reaction. The preventive measures are as follows: puerarin injection should not be given to patients with allergic history; the dosage should be adjusted to patients with advanced age, renal and hepatic insufficiency; concomitant use with drugs that may cause hemolysis should be exercise with caution.

    Ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is a conjugate of trastuzumab and emtansine, which is one of the options for adjuvant therapy of residual invasive lesions after neoadjuvant therapy and rescue treatment of advanced breast cancer in patients with human epidermal growth factor receprot 2(HER2) mutation. Thrombocytopenia is one of the common adverse reactions of T-DM1. The incidence of all grade of thrombocytopenia was 3.6%-38.2%, and the incidence of grade 3 and above of thrombocytopenia was 0.4%-14.3% during treatment. The risk of thrombocytopenia is higher in Asian populations, patients with prior therapy of platinum, and those with a baseline platelet count of ≤200×109/L. The mechanism of thrombocytopenia caused by T-DM1 is not clear. Attention should be paid to monitoring platelet count during treatment, and patients with thrombocytopenia should be treated according to the severity.

    With the widespread clinical use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), the risk of thrombotic events has also increased, which is related to the poor survival rate. Most studies indicate that ICIs treatment may increase the risk of thrombotic events in tumor patients, but the correlation is still controversial. The incidence and risk factors of thrombotic events are various in different studies. Patients with malignant tumors of lung, skin, and genitourinary system are at high risk of thrombotic events. The clinical types of thrombotic events are mainly pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, and deep vein thrombosis. The mortality rate in patients with thrombotic events is high. At present, there are no guidelines or consensus on the management of thrombosis risk related to ICIs. To improve the understanding of these adverse effects in clinic, this article reviews the correlation between ICIs and thrombotic events, and the incidence, risk factors, pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of relevant thrombotic events.

    Aluminium phosphide is a pesticide. It reacts with the wet, water or acid to form hydrogen phosphide(PH3),a very toxic gas, which produces inhibition of the cytochrome oxidase, blocking the electron transfer chain and oxidative phosphorylation producing an energy crisis in the cells. The latent period of acute aluminium phosphide poisoning is within 24 hours, and in most patients it is 1~3 hours. Symptoms of exposure to hydrogen phosphide gas include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. Severe exposure may damage liver, kindneys, lungs, nervous and circulatory systems, and may cause death. Diagnosis of aluminium phosphide poisoning is made from exposure history and clinical presentations. Treatments include gastric lavage, oxygen supplementation, blood purification, administration of intravenous dopamine, corticosteroids, and magnesium sulfate. This paper presents a patient died from hydrogen phosphide gas inhalation. A 19-yearold woman, who lived in a room which had aluminium phosphide and the wet floor, was hospitalized with upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and fatigue. The next day, she presented with incontinences of feces and urine, unconsciousness, cyanosis, wet rale in both lung, a heart rate of 40 heats/min, a blood pressure of 70/40 mmHg, a respiration rate of 10~12 breaths/min. Her ECG showed bradycardia. Laboratory testing revealed the following values: WBC 12.3×109/L, BUN 15.3mmol/L, SCr 171 μmol/L, CPK 260~710 U/L, LDH 240~695 U/L, AST 463 U/L, ALT 398 U/L, ALP 230 U/L, TBil 36.3 μmol/L, phosphate 1.68 mmol/L, calcium 1.6 mmol/L, and magnesium 0.45 mmol/L. She was diagnosed with aluminum phosphide poisoning. Despite treatment with oxygen, vasoactive substances, and other protective and symptomatic therapy, the patient died from multiorgan failure.

    Objective To explore the risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with moderate and severe renal insufficiency after receiving voriconazole for injection and to establish a model for predicting the occurrence risk. Methods The study was designed as a retrospective study. The subjects were selected from patients with moderate to severe renal insufficiency who were hospitalized in Jiaozuo People′s Hospital of Henan Province from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022 and received treatment with voriconazole for injection. Through the hospital information system, clinical data of patients were collected, including basic information, clinical diagnosis, laboratory test indexes, comorbid diseases, and co-medication. Patients were divided into AKI and non-AKI groups according to whether voriconazole-related AKI occurred. AKI risk factors were analyzed using multiple logistic regression, and prediction models were established accordingly. Calibration curves were plotted using R4.2.3-software, and the model was internally validated using the k-fold cross-validation method. Results A total of 146 patients were enrolled in the study with an age of 72.4±13.8 years, including 84 males and 62 females; 61 patients (41.8%) of which developed voriconazole-related AKI. Compared with the non-AKI group, the white blood cell count, neutrophils percentage, proportion of patients with basic renal diseases, and proportion of patients with cardiovascular diseases were higher in the AKI group; the days of voriconazole injection treatment, proportion of patients with hematological diseases, and proportion of patients receiving glycopeptide drugs were lower in the AKI group. The results of multiple logistic regression showed that albumin [X1, odds ratio(OR)=0.946, 95% confidence interval(CI): 0.915-0.977, P=0.001], neutrophil percentage (X2, OR=1.013, 95%CI: 1.000- 1.026, P=0.001), and complicated with underlying renal diseases (X3, OR=2.230, 95%CI: 1.110-4.483, P=0.046) were independent influencing factors of AKI caused by voriconazole for injection in patients with moderate and severe renal insufficiency. The prediction model was established and the joint prediction factor Y=14.32X1+0.23X2-X3. When the maximum value of Youden index was 0.382, the best tangent point of receiver operating characteristic curve was -11.33. The internal cross-validation results showed that the accuracy of the model was 0.70 and the Kappa coefficient (consistency) was 0.37. Conclusions The incidence of AKI in patients with moderate and severe renal insufficiency after receiving voriconazole for injection was 41.8%. Albumin, neutrophil percentage and underlying renal diseases were the independent influencing factors. The calculation of joint predictors based on the above indicators was helpful to predict the risk of AKI and had a certain reference value for clinic.

    ObjectiveTo explore preventive function of glutathione against liver injury caused by high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX).MethodsData of patients with hematological malignancy and receiving HD-MTX therapy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between Jan, 2013 to Mar, 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The chemotherapy schemes included MTX alone (scheme 1), MTX with cytarabine (scheme 2), and MTX with vindesine (scheme 3). The patients were divided into 2 groups, the glutathione group and the control group. The liver injury in the 2 groups were analyzed.ResultsA total of 123 patients were enrolled in the study. Of them, 25 males and 25 females were in the glutathione group and their median age was 38 years (7 to 62 years), 43 males and 30 females were in the control group and their median age was 25 years (7 to 61 years). One hundred and twenty-three patients received a total of 155 times of HD-MTX therapy. Fifty patients in the glutathione group received 57 times of HD-MTX therapy (16 times in the 13 patients, 22 times in the 21 patients, and 19 times in the 16 patients in the scheme 1, 2, and 3, respectively); 29 times of liver injury occurred in the 27 patients (6 times in the 5 patients, 13 times in the 13 patients, and 10 times in the 9 patients in the scheme 1, 2, and 3, respectively); 73 patients in the control group received 98 courses of HD-MTX therapy (38 courses in the 23 patients, 37 courses in the 30 patients, and 23 courses in the 20 patients in the scheme 1, 2, and 3, respectively), 51 times  of liver injury appeared in the 40 patients (18 times in the 11 patients, 23 times in the 20 patients, and 10 times in the 9 patients in the scheme 1, 2, and 3, respectively). There were no significant differences in the incidence of liver injury between the 2 groups and among the 3 chemotherapy schemes (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in theⅠ-Ⅳ grade of liver injury between the 2 groups (P=0.772). The types of liver injury in the scheme 1 and scheme 2 were mixed [58.3% (14/24) and 50.0% (18/36), respectively], and the type of liver injury in the scheme 3 was cholestatic [50.0%(10/20)].ConclusionPreventive treatment with glutathione in the patients with hematological malignancy could not reduce the incidence of liver injury caused by high-dose methotrexate.

    Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head(SONFH)is the pathological process of the active ingredient of the femoral head death caused by the high-dose or long-term use of glucocorticoids. The SONFH is associated with gene polymorphisms included blood coagulation system components, drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters, lipid metabolism proteins, vascular endothelial growth factor gene. The researches of SONFH-related gene polymorphisms provide the basis of  investigation of disease′ pathogenesis, early prevention, and implementation of individualized treatment. However, due to the differences in national, regional, and testing methods and the difficulties in collecting cases of SONFH and control group which did not develop osteonecrosis after using hormone, some findings are inconsistent and the further large sample, multi-center, standardized tests still needed to confirm.

    A 77-year-old female patient received an intravenous infusion of zoledronic acid injection 5-mg for osteoporosis. The patient had a history of asthma and no asthma attacks before medication. Nineteen hours after the intravenous infusion of zoledronic acid injection, the patient developed asthma, dyspnea, and wheezing in both lungs. Bronchial asthma attack was diagnosed, which was considered to be induced by zoledronic acid injection. An IV infusion of methylprednisolone, venous pumping of doxofylline, and aerosol inhalation of salbutamol, ipratropium bromide, and budesonide for inhalation were given immediately. Thirty minutes later, her symptoms of asthma and dyspnea were relieved. Twenty-six hours later, bronchial asthma recurred and was improved again after the above treatments. However, the patient′s exercise tolerance decreased. After 3 months of treatments with inhalation of budesonide and formoterol fumarate powder for inhalation and oral administration of montelukast, her exercise tolerance returned as before zoledronic acid injection.

    Unsafe medication and medication errors are the main causes of avoidable harm in the health system. In order to reduce drug?related harm, it is necessary to pay special attention to medication safety in high?risk situations, medication safety during polypharmacy, and medication safety during the transitions of medical care. The main factors leading to high?risk situations include drugs (high?alert drugs), human (drug provider and patient), and environment (drug management, treatment environment and human resources, etc.). Strengthening management for polypharmacy can promote the rational use of drugs and minimize drug?related harm. Reducing medication errors and/or adverse drug events in transitions of care requires collaboration from multiple parties, including interdisciplinary care teams such as physicians, pharmacists, and nurses, as well as active participation from patients and their families. Compared with developed countries, there is still a significant gap in the 3 areas in China, and physicians, pharmacists, and nurses need to take active actions and make joint efforts to ensure the medication safety of patients.

    Objective To explore the impact on analgesic efficacy and safety of esketamine as an adductor canal block adjuvant in knee arthroplasty. Methods The study was a prospective, single center, randomized controlled trial. The subjects were patients who received knee arthroplasty in Zhangjiakou First hospital from October 2021 to October 2023. The patients were randomly divided into trial group and control group using a random number table method. The patients in the both groups received general anesthesia and postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA). The patients in the trial group were injected with 0.375% ropivacaine combined with esmketamine, while those in the control group were only injected with 0.375% ropivacaine. The postoperative vital signs, quadriceps femoris muscle strength, resting and dynamic visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score, use of PCIA, and incidence of postoperative adverse reactions in patients between the 2 groups were compared. Results A total of 120 patients were included in this study, with 60 cases in each group. There were no significant differences in heart rate, mean arterial pressure, respiratory rate, and body temperature in patients between the trial group and the control group at 24 and 48 hours after operation (all P>0.05). There were no significant differences in quadriceps femoris muscle strength at 12, 24 and 48 hours after operation (all P>0.05). At rest, the VAS pain score at 12?hours after operation in the trial group was lower than that in the control group [(2.89±0.49) points vs. (3.36±0.23) points], the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In the active state, the VAS scores at 12 and 24 hours after operation in the trial group were lower than those in the control group [(3.78±0.41) points vs. (4.11±0.45) points, (3.79±0.56) points vs. (4.19±0.69) points], the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The number of times of PCIA compression 24 hours after operation in the experimental group was less than that in the control group [(5.35±1.03) times vs. (7.89±1.34) times], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), the sensory block time in the experimental group was longer than that in the control group [(488.26±57.75) min vs. (92.26±65.15) min], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in total incidence of adverse reactions including nausea, vomiting, urinary retention, dizziness, drowsiness, delirium and hallucination in patients between the 2 groups within 1 week after operation (all P>0.05). Conclusion Esketamine as an adjuvant of ropivacaine for adductor block can alleviate the pain level of patients undergoing knee arthroplasty, and it has good safety.

    A 67-year-old male patient with primary liver cancer was given combination treatment with regorafenib and sintilimab because of disease progression after multiple interventional therapy. After one cycle of medication, the patient developed weakness in the left facial expression muscle and left upper eyelid, and generalized muscle pain with dyspnea. Laboratory tests showed myoglobin 8-614-μg/L, creatine kinase (CK) 17-480-U/L, CK-MB mass 528-μg/L, troponin I 0.465-μg/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 1-069-U/L, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 493-U/L, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) 2-469-U/L. The electrocardiogram showed the new onset of left bundle branch block. It was considered to be immune-related myositis, immune-related myalgia, and immune-related hepatitis caused by sintilimab, not excluding immune-related cardiac toxicity. Regorafenib and sintilimab were discontinued immediately while methylprednisolone pulse therapy was initiated at a dose of 500-mg (gradually reduced after 5 days), monoammonium glycyrrhizinate and cysteine and sodium chloride injection and bicyclol were administered for liver protection and reducing liver enzyme levels. After 7 days of treatments, weakness in the left facial expression muscle and eyelid were improved significantly along with relief from chest tightness and alleviation of generalized muscle pain throughout the body. After 15 days of treatments, laboratory tests showed myoglobin 494-μg/L, CK 537-U/L, CK-MB mass 115-μg/L, AST 52-U/L, ALT 77-U/L, and LDH 519-U/L. After half a year of treatments, glucocorticoids therapy was discontinued, and all indicators returned basically to normal. The patient did not receive immunotherapy again.

    Objective: To understand the occurrence and clinical features of seizures induced by fluoroquinolones. Methods: The reported cases with seizures induced by fluoroquinolones from CBMdisc (1978-01-2006-06) and CHDL(1994-01-2006-06) were collected and analyzed. Results: Fifty-four patients with fluoroquinolones-induced seizures (31 males, 23 females) were collected. Five of them had a previous history of epilepsy. The common causative medications, in the order of frequency, were ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, and so on. Forty three patients were administered intravenously, and 7 patients were administered orally. Six patients were coadministered with theophylline-containing preparations. Of the 54 patients, 47 were generalized tonic-clonic seizures, 7 were partial seizures. The time of onset of seizures was 10 min to 6 d after fluoroquinolones use. The duration of seizures was 20 s to 10 min. The seizure frequency was 1 to 5 times. After drug withdrawal or systematic…更多 therapy, all the patients had recovered and were discharged, except one patient died from neurospongioma and cerebral infarction. Conclusion: Seizures might be induced by intravenous or oral administration of fluoroquinolones. Clinicans should be aware of the risks of fluoroquinolones-induced seizures in order to be beneficial to safe drug use.

    Objective: Tardive dystonia (TDt) is one of extrapyramidal symptoms that starts after long-term use of antipsychotic drugs. It has been reported that the incidence of TDt ranged from 2.7% to 5.3%. Its main clinical feature is that voluntary movements of one or more voluntary muscles are difficult, or abnormal postures because of difficult voluntary movements. The mechanism of TDt is generally considered to be associated with postsynaptic dopamine receptor supersensitivity caused by sustained inhibition of the dopaminergic neurotransmission or anti-noradrenergic effect of antipsychotics. TDt should be distinguished from acute dystonia, tardive dyskinesia, idiopathic dystonia, secondary dystonia, familial dystonia and conversion symptoms. Once TDt developed, dopamine receptor antagonists should be stopped, atypical antipsychotic drugs or other drugs or deep brain stimulation could be used. Symptoms might improve after such treatment.

    Objective To explore the impact of adverse drug events (ADE) on readmission in renal transplant recipients and survival of the transplanted kidney. Methods The hospital information system was searched and medical records of patients who underwent renal transplantation in Beijing Road Medical Area of Xinjiang Military Region General Hospital from January 2008 to December 2018 and were re-admitted at least once (as of December 2020) were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Patient information such as gender, age, weight, ethnicity, kidney transplantation status, postoperative immunosuppressive treatment plan, readmission status, and kidney transplant survival time was extracted and the ADE signals were detected through reviewing the patient re-admission medical history using a self-established global trigger tool. The correlation between ADE and readmission was evaluated by Karch and Lasagna method; patients were included in the ADE-related readmission group (ADE admission group) and the non-ADE- related readmission group (non-ADE admission group) based on the correlation results. The clinical characteris- tics and the cumulative survival rate of kidney transplants between the 2 groups were compared. Results A total of 198 patients (1-426 times of readmission) were entered in the analysis, including 154 males and 44 females with an age of 14-62 years, and 118(59.6%) were Han nationality. The immunosuppressive drugs included cyclosporine, tacrolimus, sirolimus, etc. After renal transplantation, 240 times of readmission (16.8%) in 94 patients (47.5%) were associated with ADE. In the ADE readmission group, the number of diagnosed diseases and postoperative readmission times were more and the length of hospital stay was longer than those in the non-ADE readmission group [4 (3,6) vs. 3 (2,5), P=0.001; 6(3, 9) times vs. 4 (2, 8) times, P=0.022; 20(13, 33) days vs. 14 (11, 25) days, P=0.010]. Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year cumulative survival rates of kidney transplants were 90.1%, 84.1%, 79.0%, and 57.6% in ADE- related readmission group, which were 99.0%, 94.7%, 90.8%, and 80.4% in non-ADE-related readmission, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.001). Conclusions ADE can increase the readmission times, prolong the length of hospital stay, and reduce the cumulative survival rate of kidney transplants. The monitoring of ADE in renal transplant recipients should be strengthened.

    Objective To explore the effect and safety of dexmedetomidine with different ways of administration on nerve block anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing untensioned repair of inguinal hernia. Methods The elderly patients who underwent untensioned repair of inguinal hernia in Shenyang Fourth People′s Hospital from June 2017 to June 2019 and met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into local nerve block by ropivacaine+dexmedetomidine group (local anesthesia group) and local nerve block by ropivacaine+intravenous pumping of dexmedetomidine group (local anesthesia+intravenous pumping group) using random number table. Local anesthesia group: 15-ml of solution obtained by a certain dose of dexmedetomidine (calculated by 1-μg/kg) diluted in a suitable volume of 0.9% sodium chloride injection+15-ml of 0.375% ropivacaine were injected locally among iliohypogastric nerve and ilioinguinal nerve under the guidance of ultrasound, and meanwhile 0.9% sodium chloride injection were pumped intravenously at the speed of 1-ml/(kg·h) until the end of operation. Local anesthesia+intravenous pumping group: a dose of dexmedetomidine (calculated by 1-μg/kg) was intravenous pumped, 30-ml of 0.375% ropivacaine were injected among iliohypogastric nerve and ilioinguinal nerve under the guidance of ultrasound 10-minutes later, and at the same time, dexmedetomidine was pumped intravenously at the speed of 0.25-μg/(kg·h) until the end of operation. The patients′ basic information including sex, age, body weight, body height, grade determined by American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification, and the operation time were recorded. The changes of heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) at different time points [before anesthesia (T0), anesthesia completion (T1), beginning of operation (T2), 15-minutes after anesthesia (T3), 30-minutes after anesthesia (T4)], the onset and maintenance time of sensory nerve block, the analgesic effect during the operation, the patient analgesia satisfaction score at the 24th hour after operation, the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at 0, 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th hour after operation in resting state, and the occurrence of adverse reactions were compared between the 2 groups. Results The differences of basic information in patients between the 2 groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05 for all). The heart rate of patients at T2 and T3 in the local anesthesia+intravenous pumping group were lower than those in the local anesthesia group [(62.55±5.66) beats/min vs. (76.70±6.47) beats/min, (53.83±5.07) beats/min vs. (74.98±5.40) beats/min, P<0.001 for both]. Intra-group comparison showed that the heart rate of patients at T2 and T3 were lower than that at T0 in the local anesthesia+intravenous pumping group [(62.55±5.66) beats/min vs. (72.50±7.14) beats/min, (53.83±5.07) beats/min vs. (72.50±7.14) beats/min, P<0.001 for both]. The differences of MAP at different time points between the 2 groups and in intra-group comparison were not statistically significant (P>0.05 for all). The onset time of anesthesia in the local anesthesia group was shorter than that in the local anesthesia+ intravenous pumping group [(5.2±1.1) min vs. (12.5±0.7) min, P=0.010], while the maintenance time of anesthesia was longer [(742.5±3.5) min vs. (631.0±1.4) min, P=0.010]. There were 38(95%), 2(5%), and 0(0) patients having good, fine, and bad analgesic effect in the local anesthesia group, and 30(75%), 8(20%), and 2(5%) in the local anesthesia+intravenous pumping group, respectively. The difference of analgesic effect between the 2 groups was statistically significant (χ2=6.541, P=0.038). The patients′ anesthesia satisfaction score at the 24th hour after operation in the local anesthesia group was higher than that in the local anesthesia+intravenous pumping group [(9.5±0.7) vs. (7.0±1.4), P=0.030]. The VAS scores at 0, 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th hour after operation in resting state in the local anesthesia+intravenous pumping group were higher than those in the local anesthesia group (P<0.05 for all). Intra-group comparison showed that the VAS scores at the 5 time points above-metioned in the local anesthesia group were no statistically significant (P>0.05 for all), the VAS scores at 9th and 12th hour after operation in the local anesthesia+intravenous pumping group were higher than that at 3rd hour, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 for both). The dif- ference of the incidence of adverse reactions after operation between the 2 groups was not statistically significant (χ 2=0.697, P=0.410). Conclusions The analgesic effect of local injection of ropivacaine+dexmedetomidine is better than that of local nerve block of ropivacaine+intravenous pumping of dexmedetomidine. Thus the anesthesia program of local nerve block with ropivacaine+dexmedetomidine is recommended in the elderly patients undergoing untensioned repair of inguinal hernia.

    In order to identify the cause for abdominal pain and diarrhea by electronic colonoscopy, one male patient aged 54-year-old took orally polyethylene glycol-electrolyte powder including two bags of agents A and B respectively which were dissolved in 300 ml warm water, and taken 1 time every 20 minutes, for 4 times. Two hours later, many dark red spots with a diameter of 0.5 cm  were scattered on both lower limbs which were partly fused into ecchymosis, with clear boundary and not faded after pressing. Meanwhile the patient developed abdominal paroxysmal colic and the pain site was not fixed. The stool, urine routine and kidney function were urgently examined, and their results were normal. The results of colonoscopy showed that the colonic mucosa was widely edematous and there were scattered spotty and patchy mucosal hyperemia, which were remarkable at descending colon and lower segment. It was considered to be abdominal type Henoch-Schonlein purpura which might be related with polyethylene glycol-electrolyte powder. After glucocorticoid and symptomatic treatment, the abdominal pain disappeared and ecchymosis subsided within 15 days.

    ABSTRACTObjective: To study the protective effects of glutamine on nonsteroidal antiinflammatory durg (NSAID)induced smallintestinal mucosal lesions in rats in order to provide the basis for safe drug use. Methods:Ninety SPF grade male SpragueDawley rats were randomly allocated into nine groups: the 4 model groups, the 4 protection groups, and the 1 empty control group. Each group comprised ten rats. The rats in the 4 model groups were given indomethacim 2.5 mg/kg, aspirin 50 mg/kg, ibuprofen 30 mg/kg, and celebrex 20 mg/kg twice daily for 14 days, respectively. The rats in the 4 protection groups were given abovementioned four different kinds of NSAIDs, meanwhile glutamine 100 mg/kg was given at the same time, respectively. All drugs were dissolved in 2 ml of sodium carbaxymethycellulose ( CMC ), which was passed into the stomach. The rats in the empty control group were given 2 ml of CMC. On day 15, all rats were sacrificed. The depth and area of rats’smallintestinal mucosal lesion were measured with the CMIAS multifunction color image analytical system, and the accumulative depth and area of the lesions were calculated. The myeloperoxidase (MPO), malondialdehyde( MDA ), superoxide dismutase (SOD), nitric oxide (NO) levels in the smallintestinal homogenate were measured. Results: In the indomethacin, aspirin, ibuprofen, and celebex model groups, the accumulative depth of smallintestinal mucosal lesions was 5 954, 511, 1 361, and 1 447 μm, respectively, the accumulative area of smallintestinal mucosal lesions was 1 956 592, 164 304, 339 711, and 445 611 μm2, respectively. The differences were statistically significant in all the model groups compared with the empty control group except the aspirin group (all P<0.05 ). The severity of lesions in the indomethacin group was greater than that in the other model groups( P<0.05 ). In the indomethacin, aspirin, ibuprofen, and celebrex protection groups, the acumulative depth and area of smallintestinal mucosal lesion were 1206, 443, 616, and 723 μm as well as 390 450, 92 192, 209 655, and 238 827 μm2,respectively. Their severity of lesions was markedly lower than that of the model groups. In the indomethacin, aspirin, ibuprofen, and celebrex protection groups, the MPO levels were (1.10±0.35),(0.53±0.19),(0.83±024),and(0.37±0.17)U/g; and in the corresponding model groups, the MPO levels were (2.37±0.63),(1.66±0.50),(1.35±035), and(1.14±0.38)U/g. The MPO levels in the protection groups were markedly lower than those in the corresponding model groups. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05 ). The MDA levels in the indomethacin protection group were markedly lower than those in the indomethacin model group[(0.50±0.16)vs(1.19±0.77)nmol/mg, P<0.05)]. The SOD levels in the indomethacine, aspirin, ibuprofen, and celebrex model groups were respectively (3.53±0.64),(4.03±1.28),(3.44±1.05), and(3.70±1.53)U/mg, which were markedly lower than those in the empty control group[(5.49±1.09)U/mg, all P<0.05)]. The SOD levels in the corresponding protection groups were respectively(4.03±1.28),(4.46±1.10),(4.29±1.53), and(4.00±1.08)U/mg, which were higher than those in the model groups, but there were no statistically significant differences. There were no statistically significant differences in the NO levels between the protection groups and model groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Glutamine has protective effects on NSAIDinduced smallintestinal mucosal lesions in rats.

    Objective To understand the distribution and drug resistance of pathogens isolated from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) inpatients in Beijing area in recent years. Methods The data on strain identification and antimicrobial susceptibility tests of clinical isolates of pathogens from AIDS inpatients in Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University between January 2015 and December 2020 were collected and analyzed descriptively and retrospectively. Results A total of 728-strains of pathogens were included in the analysis, mainly isolated from blood samples (292-strains, 40.1%), bronchial lavage fluid samples (116-strains, 15.9%), sputum samples (114-strains, 15.7%), urine samples (83-strains, 11.4%), bone marrow samples (26-strains, 3.6%), cerebrospinal fluid samples (24-strains, 3.3%), and pleural effusion samples (24-strains, 3.3%). Among the 728 pathogenic strains, 235 (32.3%) were Gram-negative bacilli, mainly including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., and Acinetobacter baumannii; 162 (22.3%) were Gram-positive cocci (22.3%), mainly including coagulase negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus; 139 (19.1%) were mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacteria; 108(14.8%) were fungi, mainly including Cryptococcus neoformans and Talaromyces marneffei; 84 (11.5%) were other pathogenic strains. According to the calculation of single strain, the top 5 pathogens were Mycobacterium tuberculosis, coagulase negative staphylococcus, nontuberculous mycobacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli suceesively. In comparison with the distribution of pathogens isolated from AIDS patients in the same hospital in 2009-2014, the proportion of Gram-negative bacilli decreased (40.73% from 2009 to 2014), and the proportions of Gram-positive cocci, fungi, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis were similar (19.15%, 14.02%, and 9.27% respectively in 2009-2014), and the proportion of non tuberculosis mycobacteria increased significantly (it was not calculated separately and classified into ‘others’ because of the relatively low proportion, and the proportion of others was 6.34% in 2009-2014) successively. Gram-negative bacilli were mostly isolated from respiratory samples (47.2%, 111/235), followed by urine samples (20.4%, 48/235); Gram-positive cocci were mostly isolated from blood samples (45.7%, 74/162), followed by bone marrow samples (13.0%, 21/162); mycobacteria were mainly isolated from blood samples (72.7%, 101/139), followed by respiratory samples (26.6%, 37/139); fungi were mainly isolated from blood samples (44.4%, 48/108), followed by respiratory samples (19.5%, 21/108) and cerebrospinal fluid samples (17.6%, 19/108). The results of antimicrobial susceptibility tests showed that the resistance rate of Gram-positive cocci decreased and the rate of the Gram-negative bacilli increased obviously in 2015-2020, compared to those in 2009-2014 in clinical isolates from AIDS patients in the same hospital respectively. Conclusion In recent years, the proportion of Gram-negative bacilli  decreases, the proportion of nontuberculous mycobacteria increases significantly, and the drug resistance rate of most Gram-negative bacilli increases significantly in clinical isolates from AIDS inpatients in Beijing.

    analyse clinical characteristics, related factors, treatments, and prognosis of myopathy and peripheral neuropathy associated with telbivudine. Methods Reports of myopathy and peripheral neuropathy were selected from reports of serious adverse reactions caused by telbivudine identified from the Beijing Adverse Drug Reactions Monitoring Network database from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. The general information, medication, clinical symptoms, laboratory tests results, treatments, and prognosis in patients with myopathy and peripheral neuropathy caused by telbivudine were analyzed. ResultsA total of 27 reports were entered, involving 27 patients. Of them, there were 25 patients (92.6%) with myopathy and 2 (7.4%) with peripheral neuropathy. The causal relationship between telbivudine and the described adverse reactions was assessed as possible. Of 25 patients with myopathy, 24 were male and 1 was female with an average age of (33±12) years. All patients received telbivudine 600 mg once daily. Duration of medication use were 6-<10 months in 6 patients (24.0%); 10-15 months in 13 patients (520%); >15 months in 6 patients (24.0%). The clinical symptoms were muscular soreness and muscular tenderness. The serum creatine kinase levels in all patients increased (651-14 466 U/L). After telbivudine were stopped and symptomatic treatments were given, one patient was cured, 21 improved (84.0%), and 2 died. One male patient developed rhabdomyolysis and refractory lactic acidosis and then gave up treatment. Two patients with peripheral neuropathy manifested as numbness and paresthesia on their fingertip, toe, and foot; one of them improved after the drug discontinuation and symptomatic treatments, and the other one had not improved at the time of reporting. ConclusionLong-term use of telbivudine can induce serious adverse reactions such as myopathy and peripheral neuropathy. The symptoms improved in most patients after drug discontinuation and symptomatic treatments.

    A 50-year-old male patient with agitated depression and hyperlipemia received oral amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium 0.5 g once daily and 2 lopinavir and ritonavir tablets twice daily for novel coronavirus infection, based on previous drugs including quetiapine, clonazepam, and atorvastatin calcium. After 3 days, lopinavir and ritonavir was changed to oral arbidol 200-mg, thrice daily due to suspicious drug interaction. After taking arbidol for 3 days, the patient developed red papules on the whole body. Considering that it might be related to amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium, the drug was stopped and loratadine was given. But the rashes were aggravated. Considering that the drug eruption was caused by arbidol, arbidol was discontinued and the rashes subsided in a large area the next day. Then vitamin C injection, calcium gluconate injection, and ribavirin were added. After 5 days, the rashes subsided completely. After 17 days, the patient recovered from pneumonia.

    Chemotherapeutic regimens based on fluoropyrimidines such as 5-fluorouracil, capecitabine, and tegafur, gimeracil and oteracil potassium (S1) are widely used in a variety of solid tumor therapy. Cancer patients are high-risk persons of thrombosis and anticoagulant therapy is recommended for patients with thrombosis or with risk factors of thrombosis. At present, warfarin is the widely used oral anticoagulant. There are drug interactions when 5-fluorouracil, capecitabine, and S1 are given in combination with warfarin and it may lead to elevated international normalized ratio and symptoms of bleeding. Most patients could recover after warfarin withdrawal, dosage reducing, and replacement with low-molecular heparin. However, a few patients may require blood transfusion. The mechanism of drug interactions due to concomitant use of fluoropyrimidines and warfarin remains unclear and may be related to inhibiting activity of metabolic enzyme of warfarin—hepatic cytochrome P450 2C9 by 5-fluorouracil or its metabolites.

    Objective: To study the safety and efficacy of compound moxiflocacin ear drops to experimental animals. Methods:In skin irritation testing, 20 rabbits were divided into 2 groups: the normal skin group and the damaged skin group (10 rabbits in each group). Compound moxifloxacin ear drops 1 ml and normal saline 1 ml were applied to the right and left sides in the one and same rabbit once daily for 7 days, respectively. The skin reactions were observed and scored.In skin allergy testing, 30 guinea pigs were divided into the following three groups: the compound moxifloxacin ear drops group, the 1% 2,4dinitrochlorobenzene group, and the normal saline group (10 guinea pigs in each group). The depilated areas of guinea pigs in the three groups were applied with 0.5 ml of abovementioned three medications, respectively. Allergic skin reactions were observed 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours after administration. In acute toxicity testing, 100 mice were devided into 2 groups: the subcutaneous injection group and the intraperitoneal injection group (50 mice in each group). Every group was redivided into 5 variable dosage groups: 40, 32, 26, 20, and 16 ml/kg in the subcutaneous injection group, and 32, 26, 21, 16, and 13 ml/kg in the intraperitoneal injection group. The mortality of the mice was observed for 7 days. LD50 and 95% confidence interval were calculated. In the efficacy study, 30 rabbit models of otitis media were randomly divided into 5 groups as fellows: the three variable dosage of compound moxifloxacin ear drops treatment groups, the ofloxacin ear drops positive control group, and the blank control group (6 rabbits in each group). In the three variable dosage of compound moxifloxacin ear drops treatment group, 0.8, 0.5, and 0.2 ml of compound moxifloxacin ear drops were applied into the ear three time daily, respectively. In the ofloxacin ear drops positive control group, 0.5 ml of ofloxacin was applied into the ear three times daily. In blank control group, nothing was applied. The efficacy to otitis media was evaluated one week after treatment. Results: No compound moxifloxacin ear dropsinduced erythema, swelling, and allergy were found. The subcutaneous and intraperitoneal LD50 were 25.55 ml/kg and 22.58 ml/kg for mice, respectively. The rate of high efficacy to the three variable dosages of compound moxifloxacin ear drops and the ofloxacin ear drops were 83.3%~100% and 666%, respectively, compared with the blank control group. Conclusion: Compound moxifloxacin ear drops is a safe and effective agent in treatment of otitis media.

    Objective: To determine the serum concentrations of western medicine compositions in patients taking traditional Chinese antiepileptic preparations in order to benefit their rational use. Methods:From September 2006 to September 2007, 176 epileptic patients taking traditional Chinese antiepileptic preparations were enrolled in the study. The patients comprised 102 men and 74 women aged 3~63 years [average age (26.27±11.67)]. Their disease duration was 1~42 years [average disease duration (11.9±8.68) years]. The patients’fasting serum phenytoin, phenobarbital, valproate, and carbamazepine concentrations were determined with fluorescence polarization immunoassay. Results: Of 176 blood samples, 174 contained one or more than one the abovementioned western medicine compositions, but the western medicine composition was not detected in two blood samples from the two patients receiving Huafeng pills and Hupobaolong pills. One hundred and thirtytwo patients took traditional Chinese medicine alone and 44 patients took traditional Chinese medicine combined with western medicine. One hundred and sixty-nine epileptic patients’condition was not controlled; of them, 9 patients’ blood phenobarbital level is over the upper limit of effective concentration, and 2 of the 9 patients developed somnolence and decreased mentality. Conclusion: Close monitoring of blood drug concentration should be performed during the clinical use of traditional Chinese antiepileptic preparations for benefit to rational drug use.

    Objective: To analyze the related risk factors for drug-induced epileptiform seizures. Methods: The data of 148 patients with drug-induced epileptiform seizures were collected from CNKI and CMB between 1997 and 2007. The risk factors for drug-induced epileptiform seizures were analyzed retrospectively, including age, sex, and primary diseases of patients; causative drugs, dosage, and drug combination; type, onset time, duration, and prognosis of seizures. Results: Of the 148 patients, 82 were men, 66 were women. Their average age was (40.16±24.08) years. Fifteen patients of them had history of epilepsy .The first three kinds of drugs that may induce epileptiform seizures were antimicrobial drugs, drugs acting on the central nervous system, and anesthetics. Eighty-two cases (55.41%) of epileptiform seizure were caused by antimicrobial drugs, and quinolones accounted for 39 of 82 cases. Thirtyfour cases (22.97%) were caused by drugs acting on the central nervous system, and antipsychotic accounted for 20 of 34 cases. Eight cases (5.41%) caused by anesthetics, and ketamine accounted for 6 of 8 cases. The most common type of epileptiform seizures was generalized tonicclonic seizure (120 cases, 81.08%), followed by complex partial seizure (15 cases, 10.14%). The patients < 19 years of age were 32 cases (21.6%), and the patients ≥60 years of age were 52 cases (35.14%). The patients receiving drug overdose were 21 cases (14.19%). Of 45 patients receiving drug combination, 10 patients developed epileptiform seizures. The time of seizure onset was 3 minutes to 6 months after the first administration of the drug, lasting from 4 seconds to 20 minutes. After drug withdrawal or symptomatic therapy, 147 patients with epileptiform seizures improved or recovered, and one patient died from pulmonary infections and circulatory failure. Conclusion: The risk factors for drug-induced factors include the effects of drugs on the central nervous system, patient's age (older or younger age), history of epilepsy, primary diseases, overdose, and drug combination.

The adverse reactions were compared among the three groups. Results: Under the above treatment for 14 days, the effective rates were 90.00%, 90.04% and 90.48% respectively, with no differences in statistics (P> 0.05) between them. The rates of remarkable effects of group "COFETOL+budesonide" were higher than group "budesonide"(60% vs 14.29%, P<0.01),and similar to group "prednisone"(61.90%, P> 0.05). The relief time of cough on average for group "COFETOL+budesonide"(5.9±1.9 days)was obviously shorter than group "budesonide"(9.9±3.2 days, P < 0.01), and no different from group "prednisone"(6.8±2.2days, P > 0.05). Mouth mycosis infection occurred in one case of group"COFETOL+budesonide"(3.33%), hoarse voice did in one case of group "budesonide"(4.76%)and 8 cases with adverse reactions in group "prednisone"(38.09%, P < 0.01). Conclusion: The combination of COFETOL cough syrup and budesonide inhalation is a rapid, secure and new alternative method for treatment of CVA

    Endocrine therapy is an important treatment method for patients after breast cancer surgery. At the present, selective estrogen receptor modulator (such as tamoxifen) and aromatase inhibitors (such as anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane) are main treatment drugs for patients after breast cancer surgery. The patients receiving adjuvant endocrine therapy need usually about 5 years and some patients need 10 years. The adverse reactions induced by tamoxifen were symptoms related to gynecology and cardiovascular system. The treatment measures include regular detection of the patients′ endometrium, pressure, and blood lipid, etc. and symptomatic treatments. The adverse reactions induced by aromatase inhibitors are as follows. (1) Adverse reactions related to bone. The treatment measures are supplement of vitamin D and calcium, and bisphosphonates maybe given. (2) Joint and muscle symptoms. The patients with mild symptoms are given vitamin D, calcium, and appropriate physical exercise. The patients in marked symptoms are given non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or the treatment drugs are stopped for 3-4 weeks. (3) Adverse reactions in cardiovascular system. The patients are given symptomatic treatments.

    The term of drug-induced thromboembolism refers to intravascular thrombosis and/or thromboembolism due to drugs and resulting in impaired tissue and organ function. The main mechanisms of drug-induced thromboembolism involve injury of endothelial cells, the change of blood components and hemodynamic abnormality. Drugs which cause thrombosis mainly include contrast media, chemotherapeutic agents, immunosuppressive agents, immunopotentiators, cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors, antipsychotic agents, and hormones. The most common drug-induced thrombosis is deep vein thrombosis such as portal vein, splenic vein, renal vein, or cerebral venous sinus. Arterial thrombosis is less common. Drug-induced thrombosis could be treated with unfractionated heparin, low molecular weight heparin, fondaparinux sodium, warfarin, urokinase, alteplase, argatroban, recombinant hirudin or danaparoid sodium.

    Objective To investigate the influence of potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) on emergency treatment or hospitalization events due to heart failure in elderly outpatients. Methods The data of outpatient, emergency patient, and inpatient above 65 years old collected in Beijing Medical Insurance Affairs Management Center database from July 1, 2016 to September 30, 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. PIM in the outpatient western medicine prescription was identified using the 2015 Beers Criteria-. PIM exposure was defined as at least one PIM was prescribed within 3 months and patients were divided into the PIM exposure and non-PIM exposure groups accordingly. Clinical outcome events were defined as experiencing emergency treatment or hospitalization events due to heart failure after ≥14 days of PIM exposure. Clinical characteristics in patients between the 2 groups were compared and the exposure of specific PIM (PIM with the 3 highest use frequency) in the PIM exposure group was described. Influencing factors of clinical outcome events were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 506-214 patients were entered in the study, including 252-604 males (49.90%) and 253-610 females (50.10%), aged from 65 to 105 years with a median age of 74 (68, 80) years. Definition of PIM exposure was met in 192-740 patients (38.07%); clinical outcome events occurred in 249 patients, of which 131 patients (0.03%) received emergency treatment and 118 patients (0.02%) hospitalized due to heart failure. Incidences of emergency treatment and hospitalization due to heart failure in patients of the PIM exposure group were higher than those of the non-PIM exposure group [0.04% (78/192-740) vs. 0.02% (53/313-474), P<0.001; 0.04% (71/192-740) vs. 0.01% (47/313-474), P<0.001]. The 3 PIM that used most frequently were vasodilators, diuretics, and central nervous system drugs. Multivariate analysis showed that PIM exposure and use of vasodilators and central nervous system drugs had no significant effects on the occurrence of emergency treatment and hospitalization events due to heart failure, while age ≥75 years old and use of diuretics had significant effects. Compared with the 65-74 age group, the risk of emergency treatment for heart failure in patients of the 75-84 age group and ≥85 age group increased by 3.00 times (OR=4.00, 95%CI: 2.46-6.51) and 7.14 times (OR=8.14, 95%CI: 4.64-14.29), respectively, and the risk of hospitalization for heart failure increased by 1.33 times (OR=2.33, 95%CI: 1.52-3.57) and 2.59 times (OR=3.59, 95%CI: 2.03-6.36), respectively. Compared with patients without diuretics treatment, patients treated with diuretics had a 1.91-fold increase in the risk of emergency treatment and hospitalization events due to heart failure (OR=2.91, 95%CI: 1.72-4.93) and 1.72-fold increase (OR=2.72, 95%CI: 1.56-4.74), respectively. Conclusions PIM increases the risk of emergency treatment or hospitalization due to heart failure in elderly outpatients, but it is not an independent influencing factor. Age ≥75 years and diuretics use were independent influencing factors of emergency treatment or hospitalization in elderly patients.

    An 85-year-old male patient received left thyroxine sodium (LT4) 50 μg orally once daily for replacement therapy because of ischemic stroke and hypothyroidism. Next day, laboratory test showed that blood potassium was 3.0 mmol/L. He was given potassium chloride sustained-release tablets 1 g orally thrice daily. Six days later, the patient complained of a rapid heartbeat after slight activity. Laboratory tests showed that blood potassium was 3.3 mmol/L and a potassium magnesium aspartate tablet was administered orally thrice daily. After 8 days of potassium supplementation treatments, the patient's blood potassium level was 3.5 mmol/L, while the blood pressure increased to 163/90 mmHg. Losartan potassium 50 mg once daily was given orally.  Clinical pharmacist consulted and learned that the patient continued to take his own LT4 75 μg once daily while following the doctor's instructions to take LT4 50 μg once daily. The patient was instructed to immediately stop taking his own medication and the LT4 dose was adjusted to 75 μg once daily. Thirteen days later, the patient's serum potassium returned to 4.0 mmol/L and no further discomfort occurred.

    Objective To explore the role of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4)-dependent ferroptosis in diclofenac-induced kidney injury. Methods Human kidney tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells) were cultured and then divided into 3 groups: control group, diclofenac group, and iron death inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) group. The same amount of 1% Fer-1 (final concentration 10 μmol/L) and phosphate buffered saline was respectively added to cells in the Fer-1 group and the other 2 groups. After 48 hours of culture, diclofenac 200 μmol/L was added to cells in the diclofenac group and the Fer-1 group. The cell viability of each group was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). The cell cycle, apoptosis and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected by flow cytometry. The levels of intracellular iron ion, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA) and GPX4 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression level of GPX4 was detected by Western blotting method. Results Compared with the control group, the cell viability and G1 phase cell percentage of the diclofenac group were significantly lower, and compared with the diclofenac group, those were significantly higher (all P<0.05). The apoptosis rate of diclofenac group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in apoptosis rate between Fer-1 group and diclofenac group (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the intracellular ROS, iron content, LDH, and MDA levels were significantly higherin the diclofenac group, while the expression level of GPX4 was lower (all P<0.05). However, the ROS, iron content, LDH, and MDA levels in the Fer-1 group were lower than those in the diclofenac group, while GPX4 expression was higher than that in the diclofenac group (all P<0.05). Conclusion Diclofenac can induce ferroptosis in HK-2 cells and inhibiting the ferroptosis can alleviate cell injury, suggesting that GPX4-dependent ferroptosis may be involved in kidney injury induced by diclofenac.

    A 38-year-old female underwent in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer for bilateral tubal obstruction secondary infertility. Seven days after embryo implantation, the patient developed severe nausea, vomiting, and vertigo. Human chorionic gonadotropin test in blood was positive, so the woman was diagnosed as having biochemical pregnancy and early pregnancy reaction. After symptomatic treatment, the symptoms of vertigo were not improved and gradually aggravated. Intramuscular injection of diphenhy- dramine 20-mg was given at 3+2 weeks of gestation. Then the symptoms were relieved. At 24 weeks of gestation, the patient was diagnosed as having twin pregnancy and cleft lip in twin fetus, and fetus cleft palate could not be excluded. After the above diagnosis was confirmed at 28 weeks of gestation, induction of labor was performed in the patient. Both fetuses were found to have severe cleft lip and palate, and no other appearance of deformities was found. It was considered that the cleft lip and palate deformity in the twin fetus might be related to diphenhydramine exposure during pregnancy.

    Objective To explore the clinical and pathological characteristics of Polygonum multiflorum-associated liver injury. Methods Medical record data of inpatients with Polygonum multiflorum-associated liver injury diagnosed by histopathological examination between January 2009 and December 2018 in Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University were collected and analyzed retrospectively. According to the different processing methods of Polygonum multiflorum, the patients were divided into raw Polygonum multiflorum group and prepared Polygonum multiflorum group. The clinical and pathological characteristics in patients in the 2 groups were compared. Results A total of 22 patients entered the study. Of them, 8 patients were in the raw Polygonum multiflorum group, including 4 males and 4 females with a median age of 32 (25, 37) years; 14 patients were in the prepared Polygonum multiflorum group, including 2 males and 12 females with a median age of 51 (38, 58) years. Twenty one patients were clinically identified as hepatocellular injury type and one patient (raw Polygonum multiflorum group) was identified as mixed type, which all had varying degrees of acute hepatitis related symptoms. The median peak levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and total bilirubin in the raw Polygonum multiflorum group were significantly higher than those in the prepared Polygonum multiflorum group [1-832 (1-134, 2-301) U/L vs. 900 (456, 1-102) U/L, P=0.001; 1-135 (475, 1-408) U/L vs. 466 (240, 662) U/L, P=0.017; 212.1 (102.5, 363.4) μmol/L vs. 59.7 (17.7, 117.3) μmol/L, P=0.012]. The main pathological manifestation of liver injury in patients in the 2 groups was acute lobular hepatitis. After the occurrence of liver injury, all 22 patients discontinued Polygonum multiflorum preparation and were given symptomatic treatment, and all were improved and discharged after 9-37 d of hospitalization. After discharge, one patient lost the follow-up and the other 21 patients′ liver function recovered, with a median time to recovery of 3 (2, 6) months. Three patients′ abnormal liver function lasted more than 6 months and they were diagnosed with chronic hepatitis. Conclusions Polygonum multiflorum-associated liver injury is mainly hepatocellular injury type and the pathological feature is acute lobular hepatitis. The degree of liver injury caused by raw Polygonum multiflorum is more serious than that caused by prepared Polygonum multiflorum. After stopping Polygonum multiflorum and giving symptomatic treatment, most patients had a good prognosis.

    Objective: To estimate the effect of beta-blocker metoprolol or combination of metoprolol and ACE inhibitor benazapril on glomerular filtration function in mild or moderate hypertensive patients with concealed renal insufficiency (CRI). Methods: Seventy-three hypertensive patients with CRI were divided randomly into two groups,metoprolol (MET) group and metoprolol + benazapril (MET+BEN) group. Patients in the two groups received 6 months therapy with metoprolol 50-75 mg daily or metoprolol 25 mg + benazapril 5-10 mg daily respectively. The target of blood pressure was under 140/90 mm Hg. The serum uric acid (SUA),serum creatinine (SCr) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were investigated before therapy and after 6 months of therapy. Results: ①The systolic and diastolic blood pressure level,and control rate were not different between the two groups((131.3±9.9 vs 71.9±10.5,132.0±10.2 vs 68. 9±10.7 mm Hg,78.4% vs 77.8%,P>0.05); ②In MET group,SUA and SCr increased and GFR decreased after 6 months of therapy than those before (from 429±57 to 439±62 mmol/L P<0.05,from 103±14 to 109±17μmol/L P<0.01,from 52.9±5.84 to 49.9± 6.9ml/min·1.73 m2 P<0.01 respectively); ③in MET+BEN group,compared with before therapy,SUA and SCr decreased and GFR increased significantly after therapy (from 426±62 to 417±57 mmol/L,P<0.01;from 105±13 to 98±12μmol/L,P<0.01,from51.3±5.6 to 54.7±6.2 mL/min·1.73 m2,P<0.01 respectivly); ④After 6 months of therapy,SUA and SCr in MET+ BEN group were lower than those in MET group (417±57 vs 439±62 mmol/L,P<0.01; 98±12 vs 109±17μmol/L,P<0.01),GFR higher than that in MET group (54.7± 6.2 vs 49.9± 6.9 ml/min·1.73m2,P<0.01). Conclusion: Metoprolol monotherapy might not be used for treating hypertensive patients with concealed renal insufficiency for its decreasing glomerular filtration functing. But thecombined therapy with metoprolol and ACE inhibitor benazapril might be beneficial to renal function.

    Drug-induced hypertension is one of the common adverse drug reactions. The mechanism of drug-induced hypertension may involve stimulation of sympathetic nervous system activity, sodium and water retention, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activation, and changes in function and structure of arterial elasticity. Clinical presentations are increased blood pressure, rebound phenomenon, and even hypertensive crisis. The risk factors for drug-induced hypertension are advanced age, sex, genetic causes, previous history of hypertension, overweight, susceptibity to sodium, and underlying diseases. The drugs known to cause hypertension should be avoided in high-risk patients; if drug treatment is necessary, the treatment should start with a minimum dosage and blood pressure should be monitored during treatment. Once drug-induced hypertension occurs, the drug should be discontinued immediately or the dosage should be reduced, and symptomatic treatment should be given.

    ObjectiveTo investigate the use of global trigger tool (GTT) for evaluating adverse drug events (ADE) in hospitalized patients.MethodsFourteen triggers were selected according to Institute for Healthcare Improvement Global Trigger Tool for Measuring Adverse Events and situation of medicine administration in China. Three hundred discharged patients′ medical records, coming from hospital information system of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January to December 2013, were selected randomly and examined. The records with positive triggers were filtered and analyzed on estimation and classification of ADE as well as damage of organ and system. The detection rate of triggers was calculated and compared with the voluntary reporting rate of ADE in the same year.ResultsA total of 300 patients were involved in the 300 records. Of them, there were 59 patients with positive triggers accounting for 19.67% and 72  cases with positive triggers including 48 patients with only one positive trigger, 9 patients with 2 positive triggers, and 2 patients with 3 positive triggers. The cases with positive triggers were analyzed on estimation of ADE. Sixty-four ADEs were confirmed and these ADEs involved 49 patients. The detection rate of ADE was 16.33% (49/300). The 64 ADEs contained 53  ADEs (82.81%) of level E, 6 ADEs (9.38%) of level F, and 5 ADEs (7.81%) of level H. The most common damage of organ was gastrointestinal system and a total of 21 cases developed gastrointestinal damages. The clinical manifestations were vomiting (20 cases) and diarrhea (1 case). The voluntary reporting rate of ADE in the same year was 0.43%(286/66 395), compared with the detection rate of triggers (16.33%), the difference was statistically significant (χ2=1 479.589,P<0.001).ConclusionCompared with the voluntary reporting rate, GTT could find more ADE.

    Objective: To observe docetaxel-related adverse reactions to TAC regimen (docetaxel plus epirubicin and cyclophosphamide) and AC-T regimen (epirubicin plus cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel) in treatment of breast cancer in order to evaluate their clinical safety. Methods: From July 2004 to June 2008, 110 patients with confirmed breast cancer were enrolled in the study and divided into two groups: the TAC regimen group and the AC-T regimen group. The TAC regimen group comprised 72 patients; patient age ranged from 28 to 55 years [average age (45±7.2) years]. The AC-T regimen group comprised 38 patients; patient age ranged from 35 to 66 years [average age (48±6.4) years]. The patients in the TAC regimen group received an IV push of epirubicin 60 mg/m2, an IV push of cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2, and an IV infusion of docetaxel 75 mg/m2 on day 1 of every 21-day cycle for 6 cycles. The patients in the AC-T regimen group received an IV push of epirubicin 75 mg/m2 and an IV push of cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2 on day 1 of every 21-day cycle for 4 cycles, followed by an IV infusion of docetaxel 75mg/m2 on day 1 of every 21day cycle for 4 cycles. Docetaxelrelated adverse reactions were observed during treatment with the two regimens. Results:Neutropenia in the TAC regimen and AC-T regimen groups was 72 cases (100%) [64 cases (88.9%) of grade 3/4 neutropenia] and 32 cases (84.2%) [16 cases (42.1%) of grade 3/4 neutropenia], respectively; granulocytic fever was 62 cases (86.1%) and 6 cases (15.8%), respectively. The differences in grade 3/4 neutropenia and granulocytic fever between the TAC regimen and AC-T regimen groups were statistically significant (all P<0.01). Anaphylaxis was 10 cases (13.9%) and 5 cases (13.2%), respectively; watersodium retention was 3 cases (4.17%) and one case (2.63%), respectively; peripheral neurotoxicity was 33 cases (45.8%) and 12 cases (31.6%), respectively; changes in skin and nail were 28 cases (38.9%) and 13 cases (34.2%), respectively. There were no significant differences in incidence of anaphylaxis, water-sodium retention, peripheral neurotoxicity, and changes in skin and nail between the TAC regimen and AC-T regimen groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion: AC-T regimen is a relatively safe chemotherapy regimen.

    Objective: To study the effects of gatifloxacin on blood glucose in order to provide scientific basis for clinical safe use of the drug. Methods: Four hundred and seventyfive inpatients receiving gatifloxacin or levofloxacin from 13 hospitals between May 2007 and October 2007 were enrolled in a follow-up study. The gatifloxacin group were 230 cases and the levofloxacin group were 245 cases. All patients were administered with an IV infusion of a dose of 400 mg daily for 7 days. Blood glucose levels were measured before drug administration, on day 4 after drug administration, and after drug discontinuation. Results: The incidence of high blood glucose and elevated blood glucose after drug discontinuation were greater in the gatifloxacin group than in the levofloxacin group (13.91% vs 6.53% and 18.70% vs 9.80%, respectively). The differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). The incidence of reduced blood glucose after drug discontinuation were greater in the levofloxacin group than the gatifloxacin group (36.73% vs 22.17%). The differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). The incidence of high blood glucose, elevated blood glucose, and reduced blood glucose after drug discontinuation to the gatifloxacin group were 12.90%, 17.74%, and 22.58% in diabetic patients, and 14.29%, 19.05%, and 24.40% in non-diabetic patients, respectively. The differences were no statistically significant (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Gatifloxacin can elevate or reduce blood glucose levels. Therefore, care should be taken and blood glucose levels should be monitored in clinical gatifloxacin use.

    A 50-year-old male patient had diarrhea due to unclean diet. According to the doctor′s advice, the patient received the first dose of montmorillonite powder 6 g orally. The next day, he developed abdominal pain, abdominal distention, and no defecation. Enema was ineffective. Physical examination showed abdominal distension, percussion drum sound, obvious abdominal tenderness, and reduced bowel sound. The patient was diagnosed with complete ileus by abdominal CT. After 5 days of symptomatic treatments such as diet prohibition, gastrointestinal decompression, and enema defecation, the patient returned to normal exhaust and defecation. After excluding other intestinal lesions through abdominal X-ray, enhanced CT, and enteroscopy, it is considered that the patient′s complete ileus was related to montmorillonite powder.

    ObjectiveTo explore the occurrence and related factors of blood coagulation dysfunction due to cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium in neonates.MethodsCase records of the neonates who developed blood coagulation dysfunction due to cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium for injection (ADR group) in Zaozhuang Municipal Hospital of Shandong Province from May 2007 to April 2012 were collected and retrospectively analysed. The general situation, the situation of drug use, clinical symptoms, laboratory examinations [activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), and fibrinogen (FIB)], and clinical outcomes of the neonates were recorded. The results of coagulation function tests of normal neonates for the control (the normal control group) were obtained from a literature. Related factors of adverse reactions were analysed in Logistic regression.ResultsThere were 36 neonates (19 males and 17 females) in the ADR group, which accounted for 4.7% of 768 neonates. There were 32 neonates (25 males and 7 females) in the control group. The values of APTT, PT, and TT in the ADR group were longer markedly than those in the control group [(50.3±14.4) s vs. (42.5±6.4) s,P<0.05; (16.2±3.9) s vs. (13.4±2.6) s, P<0.01; (21.2±4.5) s vs. (16.3±3.7) s,P<0.01]. The FIB level was lower markedly than that in the ontrol group [(1.7±0.4) g/L vs. (2.0±0.6) g/L, P<0.05]. Gestational age <34 weeks, weighing <2000 g, and birth asphyxia history were risk factors of blood coagulation dysfunction induced by sodium cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam. After the drug withdrawal, vitamin K1 and other supportive treatments were given, the blood coagulation function of 34 neonates (94.4%) returned to normal within 7 days and 2 neonates (5.6%) died of deterioration of their primary diseases.ConclusionThe incidence of neonates′blood coagulation dysfunction induced by sodium cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam is 4.7% and risk factors are preterm birth, low weight, and history of asphyxia.

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of concomitant use of mometasone furoate nasal spray and montelukast sodium chewable tablets in children with moderate to severe allergic rhinitis. Methods The subjects were selected from the children who were aged from 6 to 12 with moderate to severe allergic rhinitis and presented to outpatient department of Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of science and Technology from September 2011 to March 2012. According to the time order of treatment, the children were divided into the following 2 groups using randomized digital table: the combination therapy group and the mono-drug therapy group. The children were treated with mometasone furoate nasal spray 100 μg once daily plus one chewable tablet of montelukast sodium 5 mg once daily in the combination therapy group and mometasone furoate nasal spray alone 100 μg once daily in the mono-drug therapy group. The treatment course was 2 weeks in the 2 groups. On days 7 and 14 of treatment, the symptoms of allergic rhinitis were scored using 0-10 cm visual analogue scale, the adverse reactions were recorded, and the statistical analysis were performed in the 2 groups. ResultsA total of 252 children were entered in this study. The combination therapy group comprised 127 children, including 54 boys and 73 girls with average age of (8.1±2.6) years. The mono-drug therapy group comprised 125 children, including 58 boys and 67 girls with average age of (8.7±3.0) years. The differences in gender, age distribution,treatment course, general symptoms of allergic rhinitis, and single symptom of allergic rhinitis between the 2 groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Two children were withdrawn from the study due to joint pain, abdominal pain, and sleep disorders after the drug use. Compared with the scores before treatment, the scores of general symptoms of allergic rhinitis on days 7 and 14 of treatment decreased by (4.7±1.9) and (5.5±2.2) scores [(2.6±1.7) and (1.8±1.7) vs (7.3±1.3) scores] in the combination therapy group, (3.9±2.2) and (4.9±1.7) scores [(3.2±2.0) and (2.3±2.1) scores vs (7.2±1.5) scores] in the mono-drug therapy group. The differences before and after treatment in the 2 groups were statistically significant (P<0.05 for all comparison). The efficacy in the combination therapy group was better than that in the mono-drug therapy group(P<0.05). On days 7 and 14 of treatment, the efficacy for single symptom of runny nose or stuffy nose in children in the combination therapy group were better than that in the mono-drug therapy group (P<0.05 for all comparison). The differences in runny nose and stuffy nose scores between the 2 groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The differences in sneezing and itchy nose scores between the 2 groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Five children presented with adverse reactions in the combination therapy group (3.9%); of them, mometasone furoate nasal spray-related adverse reactions were nasal bleeding (2 cases) and dry nose (1 case), and montelukast sodium chewable tablets-related adverse reactions were joint pain, abdominal pain (1 case), and sleep disorders (1 case). Four children (3.2%) in the mono-drug therapy group presented with adverse reactions, including 2 cases of nasal bleeding and 2 cases of dry nose. The difference in adverse reaction incidence between the 2 groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). All adverse reactions in the 2 groups were mild, and resolved soon after drug withdrawal. No severe adverse reactions occurred in the 2 groups. ConclusionThe efficacy of the concomitant use of mometasone furoate nasal spray and montelukast sodium chewable tablets is better than that of mometasone furoate nasal spray alone. The combination therapy has a good safety.

    Objective: To explore the incidence and risk factors of retinopathy induced by hydroxychloroquine. Methods:Search words such as hydroxychloroquine, antimalarials, eye, ocular, retinopathy, maculopathy, and retinotoxic were selected, and MEDLINE, EMBASE, OVID, Science Direct, and Springer databases were searched. The data of clinical use of hydroxychloroquine from the English literature published between 1963 and 2008 were collected. According to the criteria for entering, literature were strictly selected; incidence of retinopathy and nonretinopathy induced by hydroxychloroquine were calculated; relationship between the dosage of hydroxychloroquine, the length of drug use and retinopathy induced by hydroxychloroquine were analyzed. Results: Twenty one papers were selected. Of them, 11 were prospective study and 10 were retrospective study. A total of 5 210 patients entered the study. Of them, 25 patients had retinopathy and its incidence was 0.48%. In the prospective and retrospective studies, the incidences of retinopathy were (0.43% 11/2 549)and 0.53% (14/2 661), respectively. Ten of the 21 papers had evaluation of nonretinopathy and 2 599 patients entered the study. Of them, the incidences of corneal deposit and ocular muscle imbalance were 0.50% and 023%, respectively. Average daily dosage of hydroxychloroquine treatment was (7.6±3.4)mg/(kg·d)in the 25 patients developing retinopathy. The incidence of retinopathy was 0.40%(17/4 292)in patients receiving the dosage ≤6.5 mg/(kg·d) and 0.87%(8/918)in those receiving>6.5 mg/(kg·d). There was no significant difference between the two different dosages(P=0068). The average duration of hydroxychloroquine treatment was(63.5±56.5)months. The average time of drug use to retinopathy onset was (78.9±74.0)months in 17 patients receiving dosage ≤6.5 mg/(kg·d)and (46.8±20.2) months in 8 patents receiving dosage >6.5 mg/(kg·d). During 3 months of followup after drug discontinuation, of 25 patients, 9 patients’retinopathy was stable, 2 patients’visual field improved slightly, 1 patient’s retinopathy aggravated, and other 13 patients’outcome was not stated. Conclusion: Hydroxychloroquine might cause retinopathy, which is an irreversible lesion. Its incidence is lower and risk factors are dosage and the length of drug use. Therefore,correct dosage should be given and ocular examination should be performed regularly during the clinical use of hydroxychloroquine.

    ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy and safety of sitagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.MethodsPubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Wanfang Database was searched by using “sitagliptin” as keyword. Randomized controlled trials (RCT), whose endpoints were the level of glycosylated hemoglobin lower than 7% and adverse reactions rates, of sitagliptin in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were collected. The qualities of the RCT which could accord with inclusion criteria were evaluated. The related information was selected and statistically analyzed with RevMan 5.2 software and the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated.ResultsA total of 25 RCT were entered. Meta-analysis showed the control rate of glycosylated hemoglobin lower than 7% of sitagliptin is better than that of placebo (OR=3.02, 95%CI: 2.48 to 3.67, P=0.00) , worse than that of thiazolidinedione (OR=0.60, 95%CI: 0.41 to 0.88, P=0.01) , and similar to that of merformin (OR=078, 95%CI: 0.51 to 1.19, P=0.25) , glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) receptor agonists (OR=0.53, 95%CI: 0.15 to 1.92, P=0.34), and sulfonylureas (OR=0.93, 95%CI: 0.58 to 1.48, P=0.76). The adverse reactions rates of sitagliptin was similar with that of placebo (OR=1.11, 95%CI: 0.89 to 1.39, P=0.33) and lower than that of merformin (OR=0.42, 95%CI: 0.32 to 0.55, P=0.00), thiazolidinedione (OR=065, 95%CI: 0.45 to 0.94, P=0.02), GLP-1 receptor agonists (OR=0.45, 95%CI: 024 to 0.83, P=001), and sulfonylureas (OR=0.38, 95%CI: 0.32 to 0.47, P=0.00).ConclusionSitagliptin was effective in lowering the glycosylated hemoglobin level in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and the adverse reaction rate of sitagliptin was lower than those of other antidiabetic drugs.

    With the aging of the population and the increasing number of patients with throm- boembolic diseases, oral anticoagulants are more and more widely used. Anticoagulant-related nephropathy (ARN) is a significant adverse reaction in the treatment with oral anticoagulants, generally considered to be a form of acute kidney injury caused by excessive anticoagulation. The mechanisms involved may include glomerular hemorrhage, obstruction of renal tubules by red cell casts, and damage to tubular epithelial cells. Abnormalities in coagulation function and renal function are the main risk factors for ARN; older age, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and heart failure also increase the  risk of ARN occurrence. ARN should be managed based on individual patient characteristics. Benefits and risks of treatment should be carefully considered when choosing oral anticoagulants; renal function should be closely monitored during treatments to detect potential risks early. In case of ARN, it is advised to promptly adjust the anticoagulant therapy and provide symptomatic supportive treatments. In severe cases, treatments with methylprednisolone combined with hemodialysis can be employed.

    Objective: To observe the effects of a single injection of Lianbizhi on the endogenous metabolite in SD rat urine using metabonomics technique in order to explore the mechanisms of Lianbizhi-induced renal damage. Methods:Two kinds of Lianbizhi injections were used in this experiment as follow: Lianbizhi A containing andrographolide sodium bisulfis 98.7% and other related substance 1.3%, Lianbizhi B containing andrographolide sodium bisulfis 49.1% and other related substance 50.9%. Twenty five SPF male SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: the high-dose(1 600 mg/kg)and low-dose (400 mg/kg) Lianbizhi A groups, the high-dose(400 mg/kg)and low-dose (100 mg/kg) Lianbizhi B groups, and the control group (normal saline). Each group comprised 5 rats. All rats received respectively a single intravenous injection of Lianbizhi 10 mL/kg via caudal vein. The rat urine samples were collected over a 12 hours period before dosing, as well as within 0~6, 7~12, 13~24 and 25~48 hours after dosing respectively, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra of urine samples were measured. The blood biochemical indices were measured 48 hours after dosing. Results: The results of blood biochemical indices testing showed that the ALP level in the high-dose Lianbizhi A group and highdose Lianbizhi B group were respectively (306±13) and (294±45) U/L ,which were higher than that [(207±47) U/L] in the control group. The ALB levels in the high-dose Lianbizhi A and Lianbizhi B groups were respectively (28.26±1.07) and (27.34±1.01) U/L, which were higher than that [(25.70±0.37) U/L] in the control group. The TP levels in the highdose Lianbizhi A and Lianbizhi B groups were respectively (51.32±3.36) and (50.10±2.36) g/L, which were higher than that [(45.76±1.73 )g/L] in the control group, all differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). In addition, the BUN levels in the high and low-dose Lianbizhi A groups as well as high-dose Lianbizhi B group were respectively (6.94±0.49), (6.69±0.31), and (6.81±0.38) mmol/L, which were higher than that [(5.90±0.45 ) mmol/L] in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The TG levels in the high- and low-dose Lianbizhi B groups were respectively (1.13±0.36) and (0.84±0.18)mmol/L, which were higher than that [(0.57±0.10) mmol/L] in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). No marked changes were found in other blood biochemical indices. The time-course trajectories diagram of the urinary 1H NMR revealed the urinary metabolic profiles in all rats after dosing initially deviated from and subsequently returned to the levels of the control group. The principle components analysis (PCA) of 1H NMR at different time periods showed there was no significant difference in the rat urinary metabolic profiles among the 5 groups before dosing. The metabolic profiles in the drug-exposed groups could be distinguished from those in the control group, and the metabolic profile in the high-dose Lianbizhi B group deviated farthest from those in the control group 0-6 hours after dosing. Meanwhile, the trimethylamine(δ2.90)and dimethylglycine(δ2.94)levels increased and the citric acid (δ2.54,δ2.66)and α-ketoglutarate(δ2.46,δ3.02)levels decreased in the drugexposed groups compared with the control group. The metabolic profiles in the drug-exposed groups could be distinguished from those in the control group 7-12 hours after dosing . Compared with the control group, citric acid and α-ketoglutarate in the drug-exposed groups decreased and the TMA and DMG levels in the high- and low-dose Lianbizhi A groups and high-dose Lianbizhi B group increased. The metabolic profiles in the drugexposed groups could not distinguished from those in the control group within 13-48 hours after dosing and the metabolic profiles in the drug-exposed groups gradually returned to the levels of the control group. Conclusion:There is a correlation between the contents of other related substance in the Lianbizhi injection and the changes in the levels of rat urine endogenous metabolites. And the decrease in the levels of citric acid and α-ketoglutarate as well as the increase in the levels of trimethylamine and dimethylglycine suggest that the mechanism of renal damage caused by Lianbizhi injection may be related to its effects affecting the energy metabolism of mitochondria and osmotic pressure in renal medulla.

    Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of pegaspargase (PEG-Asp) and L-asparaginase (L-Asp) in treatment of children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in order to provide a basis for the selection of chemotherapy regimen for children with ALL. Methods: The clinical data of children with ALL who received intensive treatment with PEG-Asp (PEG-Asp group ) or L-Asp(L-Asp group) at Department of Pediatric Haematology,the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College, Qingdao University from March to December 2010 were collected and analysed. The children in both groups received intensive treatment with vincristine, pirarubicin, and prednisone. In addition, the PEG-Asp group was given IM pegaspargase 2500 U/m2 once every two weeks for two times, and the L-Asp group was given an IV of L-Asp 6000 U/m2 once every other day for eight times. Laboratory tests, including routine blood, coagulation function, serum amylase, urinary amylase, blood glucose and liver function, were performed regularly, and bone marrow examination was conducted before and after chemotherapy. The duration of remission and hospitalization were recorded. The efficacy of treatment and adverse reactions were observed. The adverse reactions were classified as grades 0-4 according to common terminology criteria for adverse events 3.0 (CTCAE v3.0) formulated by National Cancer Institute (NCI). Results: The PEG-Asp group comprised 20 boys and 20 girls with median age of 6.3 years. The L-Asp group comprised 33 boys and 27 girls with median age of 6.7 years. The children in the 2 groups were complete remission by results of bone marrow examination before intensive treatment and the duration of follow-up after intensive treatment. The difference in the duration of complete remission between the PEG-Asp group [(13.2±2.0)month] and the L-Asp group[(13.9±1.8)month]was not statistically significant. The average days of hospitalization was shorter in the PEG-Asp group[(11.5±7.1)d]than those in the L-Asp group[(18.5±4.9)d], the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The positive rates of skin tests in the PEG-Asp group and the L-Asp group were 10.0% and 21.7% respectively, the difference was not statistically significant. During the intensive treatment, allergic reactions such as rash or swelling of lip and throat or diarrhea appeared in the PEG-Asp group (1 case) and the L-Asp group (4 cases), the coagulation disorder, leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, decreased hemoglobin level and increased levels of alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, total cholesterol, urea nitrogen, blood sugar as well as hypoproteinemia appeared in all children in the two groups. There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of patients with adverse reactions between the two groups. Conclusion: PEG-Asp and L-Asp are safe and effective in the intensive treatment of children with acute lymphocytic leukemia, their pattern and grade of adverse reactions are similar, but PEG-Asp has the features of lower frequency of administration and shorter duration of hospitalization.

    Two men with chronic hepatitis, aged 40 and 72 years, were treated with adefovir dipivoxil 10 mg once daily for abnormal liver function. They experienced renal damage in the third and second years, respectively. The patient 1 had a SCr level of 166 μmol/L and a serum phosphorus level of 0.69 mmol/L; the patient 2 had a SCr level of 124 μmol/L, a serum phosphorus level of 0.61 mmol/L, and a 2+ urine protein. Adefovir dipivoxil was reduced to 10 mg once every other day, and then their biochemical indices normalized gradually. Later, the patient 2 voluntarily increased adefovir dipivoxil dosage to 10 mg once daily for elevated HBV DNA level. One month later, his SCr level was 119 μmol/L. Subsequently, his renal function returned to within normal range after his dosage reduction again.

    Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of pancytopenia induced by metho- trexate (MTX) in treatment for patients with ectopic pregnancy. Methods The diagnosis and treatment of a case of pancytopenia induced by MTX in treatment for a patient with ectopic pregnancy in China-Japan Friendship Hospital were reported. The main clinical features of this case and the related cases collected from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and PubMed databases (as of June 30, 2020) were summarized and analyzed. The total dose of MTX, time from the first dose of MTX to onset of pancytopenia, and lowest values of white blood cell count (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), and platelet count (PLT) between the dead and the surviving patients were compared. Results A total of 18 patients were included in the analysis, aged from 20 to 41 years with an average age of 30 years. Among them, 2 patients were suffering from chronic kidney disease and undergoing renal dialysis. The time from the first dose of MTX to onset of pancytopenia in patients was (7±3) days, ranging from 3 to 19 days. The lowest values of WBC, Hb, and PLT were (0.80±0.55)×109/L, (70±22) g/L, and (30±27)×109/L, respectively. Red blood cell count values were descripted in 10 patients and the lowest value was 1.98×1012/L. The severity of pancytopenia were defined as grade 2, grade 3, grade 4, and grade 5 in 5 patients (27.8%), 6 patients (33.3%), 1 patient (5.6%), and 6 patients (33.3%), respectively. The main clinical manifestations were skin and mucous membrane damage (in 18 patients), fever (in 17 patients), and gastrointestinal reaction (in 13 patients). Eleven patients (61.1%) had complications and 6 of them died. The median value of the lowest WBC in the dead patients was significantly lower than that in the surviving patients [0.35 (0.20-0.60)×109/L vs. 0.83 (0.22-1.80) ×109/L, Z=2.722, P=0.007], whereas the differences in the total dose of MTX, time to onset of pancytopenia, or lowest values of Hb and PLT between the dead and the surviving patients were not statistically significant (all P>0.05).Conclusion Pancytopenia is a rare but fatal adverse reaction of MTX in treatment for patients with ectopic pregnancy and patients with lower WBC often have a worse prognosis.

    Objective: To investigate the case reports of paraplegia resulting from intrathecal methotrexate administration and to analyse the factors influencing prognosis of paraplegia. Methods: Eleven case reports of paraplegia resulting from intrathecal methotrexate administration were collected from the database of Chinese medical literature between 1978 and 2007. The patients sex and age, dosage of methotrexate, combination with cytavabine, dosage of cytarabine, frequency of intrathecal injection, onset time and outcome of paraplegia were investigated. The factors influencing the prognosis were analyzed. Results: Of the 11 patients, 4 were reversible and 7 were irreversible. There was no statistical deference in sex, age, and the level of the injury to the spinal cord between reversible and irreversible cases (P>0.05). Less frequent intrathecal injection, more rapid onset of paraplegia after the last injection, lower dosage, and fewer combination with cytarabine were found in reversible cases compared with irreversible cases. The diffences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The possible causes of unfavourable prognosis were more frequent intrathecal injections, paraplegia occurring over 24 hours after the last injection, higher dosage, and combination with cytarabine.

    ObjectiveTo analyze the adverse reactions and the correlative factor of zoledronic acid injection in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients.MethodsThe clinical data of postmenopausal osteoporosis patients who were hospitalized in endocrinology department of Xuanwu Hospital during October 2012 to May 2015 were collected. The patients′ age, with or without history of bone fracture, with or without receiving bone resorption inhibitors before treatment, the occurrence of adverse reactions including fever, influenza-like symptoms, headache, myalgia, arthralgia on day 3 and 14 after receiving zoledronic acid injection, and the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), serum creatinine (Scr) and urea nitrogen (BUN) before and 3 days after receiving zoledronic acid injection were recorded. The related factor of the above-mentioned adverse reactions was analyzed by multifactor logistic regression method.ResultsA total of 105 medical records of postmenopausal osteoporosis patients were enrolled into the study. The patients′ages ranged from 49-83 years, and the average age was (69±9) years. There were 17 cases with history of bone fracture, and 79 cases who received bone resorption inhibitors before treatment. All the patients received IV infusion of zoledronic acid 5 mg/100 ml. On day 3 after receiving zoledronic acid injection, the overall incidence of adverse reactions and the incidences of fever, influenza-like symptoms, headache, myalgia, and arthralgia were 45.7% (48/105) and 39.0% (41/105), 37.1% (39/105), 26.7% (28/105), 32.4% (34/105), 32.4% (34/105), respectively. On day 14 after receiving zoledronic acid injection, the overall incidence of adverse reactions and the incidences of fever, influenza-like symptoms, headache, myalgia, and arthralgia were 2.9%(3/105), 0, 0, 1.0%(1/105), 1.9% (2/105), 1.0% (1/105), respectively. The overall incidence on day 14 after receiving zoledronic acid injection was obviously lower than that on day 3(P<0.001). The difference of levels of patients′ ALT, AST, Scr, and BUN before medication and 3 days after medication were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The result of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the age was negatively correlated with fever, influenza-like symptoms, and myalgia, and irrelevance to headache and arthralgia. Taking bone resorption inhibitors before receiving zoledronic acid injection was negatively correlated with the five kinds of adverse reactions mentioned above. The overall incidence and the above-mentioned five kinds of adverse reactions in patients age ≥ 60 years were lower than those in the patients aged<60 years (P<0.01, P<0.05, respectively).ConclusionsThe common adverse reactions of zoledronic acid injection in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients are fever, influenza-like symptoms, headache, myalgia, and arthralgia. The age and the history of receiving bone resorption inhibitors are negatively related to the above-mentioned adverse reactions.

    A 57-year-old male patient received oral sorafenib 400 mg twice daily for pulmonary metastases after operation of thyroid carcinoma. About 3 and a half months of treatment, the patient experienced dizziness, pain in the anterior region of the heart and blood pressure of 180/105 mmHg (before treatment it was 120/75 mmHg). He received oral metoprolol administration (initial dose of 25 mg twice daily, gradually increased to 200 mg twice daily). About one and a half months later, he received sustained release capsules of isosorbide mononitrate 50 mg once daily because of the intermittent attack of precordial pain. Angina pectoris still occurred frequently. He underwent percutaneous coronary intervention twice (a total of 2 stents implantation). Hypertension and angina pectoris were still poorly controlled. On month 19 of sorafenib treatment, the dose of drug was reduced to 400 mg once daily. His blood pressure was 135/85 mmHg but angina still occurred intermittently. On month 22, sorafenib was stopped. Two months later, the patient′s blood pressure declined to 130/80 mmHg, and the frequency of angina pectoris decreased. Four months after the termination of sorafenib, his blood pressure was 120/75 mmHg and no episode of angina pectoris occurred.

    ObjectiveTo explore the impact of pharmacist intervention on the potentially inappropriate drug application in the elderly patients in the primary health care institutions.MethodsTwenty four primary health care institutions in Beijing were selected. The researchers selected 15 kinds of potentially inappropriate drugs according to the Beers criteria and lists of potentially inappropriate drugs of USA, UK, and Japanese and organized a training of medication safety for pharmacists in above primary health care institutions. From February 10th, 2014 to February 20th, 2014, education on the risks of potentially inappropriate drug application in the elderly patients was carried out among the doctors in above mentioned institutions and relevant documents were distributed. Prescriptions for the elderly outpatients in the 24 primary health care institutions before (from June 3, 2013 to June 7, 2013) and after (from March 12, 2014 to March 16, 2014) the intervention were collected and the proportions of prescriptions containing 15 kinds of potentially inappropriate drugs in the prescriptions containing the appropriate diagnosis before and after the intervention were calculated and compared.ResultsThe number of collected prescriptions in the elderly patients before and after the intervention was 12 243 and 11 571, respectively. Before the intervention, there were 10 kinds of inappropriate drugs, including estazolam, diazepam, ibuprofen, diclofenac, belladonna, theophylline, aminophylline, chlorpheniramine, digoxin, compound reserpine triamterene, and glyburide. After pharmacist intervention, the proportions of prescriptions of 5 kinds of potentially inappropriate drugs in the elderly patients decreased significantly, including ibuprofen (5.92% vs. 27.43%), diclofenac (5.92% vs. 13.17%), chlorpheniramine(1.08% vs. 4.86%), digoxin (2.40%  vs. 7.56%) and glyburide (1.61% vs. 8.03%), all P<0.001.ConclusionPharmacist intervention has a positive effect on improving the potentially inappropriate drug application in the elderly patients.

    Nano drug delivery system (NDDS) is a kind of drug delivery system which are made up of drugs and drug carriers and their particle sizes are less than 1 000 nm. In general, polymeric micelles, liposome, nano capsule, microemulsion, and organic or inorganic nanoparticles are used as carriers in NDDS, pharmacodynamic substance and carriers are combined into new type of controlled/slow release preparations or the drugs are directly processed into nanoparticles. Embryo toxicity is an important index for non-clinic safety evaluation of NDDS. The in vitro studies showed that embryo toxicity of NDDS is related to physical and chemical properties of nanoparticles, such as size and modification materials on surface, exposure time of nanoparticles, and dosage. It has been shown that zinc oxide nanoparticles have embryo toxicity, titanium dioxide, silica, magnesium oxide, and quantum dots have different degrees of embryo toxicity, and polystyrene based nanoparticles have no embryo toxicity. The in vivo studies showed that zinc oxide nanoparticles, quantum dots containing cadmium or selenium, and high concentrations of nano silver have embryo toxicity in one or several animal models, such as rat, mouse, zebrafish, Paracentrotus lividus, Xenopus laevis, and Mytilus Galloprovincialis. Silica, titanium dioxide, chitosan nanoparticles and single-walled carbon nanotubes at different dose and size showed different effects on embryonic development of different animal models. Embryotoxic or teratogenic effects of NDDS include stagnation, miscarriage, and deformity, and the mechanism of toxicity is mainly related to oxidative stress and inflammation. Though embryo toxicity of NDDS in models, methods and content need further exploration and research, studies which have been carried out provide important references for further research.

    The term hazardous drugs refer to the drugs that have carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, reproductive toxicity, genotoxicity, organ toxicity at low doses, including antineoplastic agents, antiviral agents, hormones, immunosuppressive agents, and so on. A large number of studies have showed that healthcare workers who prepare or administer hazardous drugs may have the risks for occupational exposure to these drugs. Exposures to hazardous drugs may occur through inhalation of respiratory tract, skin contact, skin absorption, ingestion of alimentary tract, and so on. Inhalation and skin contact/absorption are the most likely routes of exposure to hazardous drugs. Occupational exposure to hazardous drugs can lead to decrease in immunity, increase in risk for cancer occurring, and potential reproductive damage. The common adverse effects of hazardous drugs are dizziness, fatigue, alopecia, cough, nausea, vomiting, abnormal menstruation, and skin rash. In addition, chronic liver damage may occur after long-term exposure to hazardous drugs. In order to diminish the risk of exposure to hazardous drugs to healthcare workers, the following safe protective procedures should be included: Good work practice should be formulated; The health care workers who have potential contact with these hazardous drugs should receive a safety education and training; Preparation should be carried out in designated area; Use of biological safety cabinets; Personnel protective equipment (including gloves, isolation gowns, safety glasses, face shields, and respirators) should be worn; Adequate care should be taken in the disposal of waste material; Acute exposure to hazardous drugs should be managed promptly.

    An increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) may occur in patients with multiple myeloma( the incidence is about 3%~10%), the risk could further increase during treatment with thalidomide or lenalidomide. The risk factors for VTE are age, obesity, history of venous thromboembolism, central venous catheter, complications (infections, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, etc.), surgery, hereditary thrombophilia, combined therapy with highdose dexamethasone, doxorubicin, erythropoietin, or multidrug chemotherapy. Generally, the time to VTE onset is within 6 months after treatment. A study shows that incidence of VTE may decrease after receiving prophylaxis of venous thrombosis during treatment with thalidomide or lenalidomide. VTE may be prevented as follows: lowrisk patients receive aspirin; highrisk patients receive low molecular weight heparin(LMWH) or an adequate dosage of warfarin; the patients receiving highdose dexamethasone or doxorubicin or multidrug chemotherapy should be administered LMWH or an adequate dosage of warfarin for 4~6 months in general.

The RCTs in neoadjuvant therapy or adjunctive therapy for breast cancer in combination with everolimus (experimental group) or placebo (control group) were collected.  The RCTs were Meta-analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software. The efficacy and safety of the two groups were compared. The results were shown by relative risk (RR), hazard ratio (HR) and 95%CI.ResultsEight RCTs and 2 877 patients were enrolled into the Meta-analysis, including 1 679 patients in the experimental group and 1198 patients in the control group. Two RCTs applied neoadjuvant therapy and 6 RCTs applied adjunctive therapy. The results of quality evaluation of 8 reports showed 2 of low risk and 6 of unknown risk. Meta-analysis show the following results. The effective rate of the experimental group  and the control group applying neoadjuvant therapy were 92.6% (150/162) and 88.7% (141/159), the difference was not statistically significant (RR=1.04, 95%CI: 0.97-1.12, P=0.23). The effective rate of the experimental group  and the control group applying adjunctive therapy were 83.0% (1 081/1 303)and 76.0%(623/820), the difference was not statistically significant(RR=1.12, 95%CI: 0.96-1.29, P=0.14).  The progression-free survival of the patients in the experimental group applying adjunctive therapy were longer than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (HR=0.60, 95%CI: 0.44-0.82, P=0.001).  The overall survival of the patients in the experimental group applying adjunctive therapy were longer than that in the control group, but the the difference was not statistically significant (HR=0.74, 95%CI: 0.48-1.16, P=0.19). The evaluation results of safety showed the following results. The incidence rates of erythra, fatigue, and anemia in the experimental group applying neoadjuvant therapy were higher than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The incidence rates of stomatitis, erythra, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, dyspnea, peripheral edema, pneumonia, thrombocytopenia, aleucocytosis, and lymphocytoponia in the experimental group applying adjunctive therapy were higher than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).ConclusionsIt is necessary to discuss whether combination  with everolimus in neoadjuvant therapy before operation having a forward benefit. Combination  with everolimus in adjunctive therapy after operation can prolong the patients′s  progression-free survival. The ADR type induced by combination with everolimus in neoadjuvant therapy is less than that in adjunctive therapy. The results of  the study are only for low-intensity recommendation.

    An 11-year-old boy received tofacitinib (oral 7.5-mg once daily) on the basis of methotrexate therapy (oral 10-mg once a week) due to poor control of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and the symptoms were relieved. The boy′s liver function was normal before using tofacitinib. After more than 2 months of combined use of the 2 drugs, laboratory tests showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 178-U/L and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 78-U/L. No intervention was given because there were no clinical symptoms. His liver enzyme elevated significantly (ALT 586-U/L, AST 170-U/L) after continued medication for 1 month. After excluding viral hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, and other liver diseases, drug-induced liver injury was considered. Methotrexate was discontinued, tocilizumab was added, and liver protection therapy with reduced glutathione and magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate was given. Eleven days of methotrexate withdrawal, the laboratory tests showed ALT 512-U/L and AST 194-U/L. Then tofacitinib was discontinued and hepatic enzyme decreased significantly (ALT 150-U/L, AST 41-U/L) 3 days later. The liver injury was considered to be related to tofacitinib. The liver protection therapy was continued for 1 week, and the liver function examination showed ALT 41-U/L and AST 35-U/L.

    ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the relationship between proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and the risk of fractures.MethodsThe related databases were electronically searched for the cohort studies and the case-control studies about the relationship between proton pump inhibitors and the risk of fractures from inception to July 12, 2016. Meta-analysis were conducted using RevMan 5.3 softwear. The results were presented as odds ratio (OR) or relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). The evidence quality of the enrolled literatures were evaluated by Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation.ResultsA total of 20 reports which were related to 21 studies involving 9 cohort studies, 12 case-control studies and 2 076 154 subjects were enrolled in the study. There were 262 298 cases who used PPI and 1 813 856 cases who did not use PPI in the 2 076 154 subjects. The pooled results of Meta-analysis of cohort studies showed that compared with the subjects who had not used PPI, the risk of fracture increased 85% in the subjects who used PPI (OR=1.85, 95%CI: 1.55-2.21, P<0.000 01); the risk of hip fracture increased 58% (OR=1.58, 95%CI: 1.07-2.33, P<0.000 01);the risk of fracture in the subjects who were ≥50 years old increased 58% (OR=1.58, 95%CI: 1.47-1.70, P<0.000 01). The pooled results of Meta-analysis after combination of case control studies showed that compared with the subjects who had not used PPI, the risk of fracture increased 39% in the subjects who used PPI (OR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.26-1.52,  P<0.000 01); the risk of hip fracture increased 45% (OR=1.45, 95%CI: 1.23-1.69, P<0.000 01); the risk of fracture in the subjects who were ≥50 years old increased 43% (OR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.14-1.79, P=0.002). There were no explicit dose-effect relation and time-effect relation between PPI and hip fracture. The risk of fracture in female and male patients who used PPI increased 110% and 88% as compared with those in female and male patients who never used PPI (OR=2.10, 95%CI: 1.50-2.92, P=0.000 1; OR=1.88, 95%CI: 1.14-3.11, P=0.01), respectively. The result of quality evaluation by GRADE showed that the risk factors (including fracture, hip fracture, female, male, and the patient’s age 50-years or older) which increased the degree of fracture after PPI use were all very low quality evidences.ConclusionPPI use modestly could increase the degree of risk of all kinds of fracture and hip fracture, especially in females.

    Objective: To compare the differences in edema and other adverse reactions of levamlodipine versus amlodipine, nifedipine, and felodipine. Methods:A multicentre, randomized, open-label, self-control study was performed. Form June 2008 to March 2009, 83 patients with mild-to-moderate primary hypertension, who experienced edema after receiving amlodipine (38 cases), nifedipine (30 cases), and felodipine (15 cases), were enrolled in the study. All abovementioned medications were discontinued one week, then levamlodipine 2.5~5.0mg/d for 8 weeks was given. The observations and comparisons before and after levamlodipine treatment included: the severity of edema and other adverse reactions; the values of blood pressure, heart rate, and body weight; the results of routine blood tests and biochemical blood tests. Results:The severity of pitting edema at insteps was (2.69±1.21)mm one week before starting levamlodipine treatment and (1.63±1.35)mm and (1.74±1.90)mm after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment, respectively; the difference between one week before starting treatment and after 4 weeks of treatment was statistically significant (P< 0.05). The calf circumference 1 and calf circumference 2 were respectively (37.73±2.48)cm and (35.41±2.85)cm one week before starting treatment and (37.18±2.50)cm and (34.73±2.96)cm after 8 weeks of treatment; the differences were statistically significant (P< 0.05, P< 0.01). The ankle circumference were (23.47±2.19)cm 1 week before starting treatment and (22.83±2.09)cm after 8 weeks of treatment; the difference was statistically significant (P< 0.01). The incidence of facial flushing was 15.7% one week before starting treatment and 7.3%, 2.5%, and 1.3% after 2, 4, and 8 weeks of treatment, respectively. The incidence of dizziness was 4.8% one week before starting treatment and 2.4%, 0, and 1.3% after 2, 4, and 8 weeks of treatment. The blood pressure was (140.59±12.92)/(86.76±9.63) mm Hg before starting treatment and (125.76±8.53)/(77.84±6.46)mm Hg after 8 weeks of treatment, and heart rate was (70.93±8.30)beats/min before starting treatment and (69.17±6.52) beats/min after 8 weeks of treatment, respectively; the differences were statistically significant (P< 0.001, P< 0.05). Red blood cell count and hemoglobin level were (4.45±0.60)×1012/L and (131.22±14.95)g/L before starting treatment and (4.66±0.62)×1012/L and (138.09±17.46)g/L after 8 weeks of treatment, respectively; the differences were statistically significant (P< 0.05, P<0.01). No statistically significant difference in the indices of body weight, routine blood tests, and biochemical blood tests was found between before treatment and after treatment(all P> 0.05). Conclusion:levamlodipine is a relatively safe agent for treatment of hypertension, compared with amlodipine, nifedipine, and felodipine.

    Objective: To check if antibacterials were rational in clinical use. Methods: 143 inpatients between June and December 1998 were enrolled for retrospective analysis of drug administration. Results: 132 cases took antibacterial drugs accounting for 92.3% , among them 69 cases (52.3%) for treatment and 63 cases (47.7%) for preventive purposes. From the said patients only 16 samples were collected and sent for bacterial culture, its positive rate being 31.5% . Antibacterials taken covered 43 kinds of 10 categories, altogether 1573 drug-days. The rate of the unreasonable application was 39.4% (52/132 cases) or 42.5% (668/1573 drug-days) . Medication for wrong indications or for a longer period than neccessity could be the main problem. Conclusion: In order to upgrade the diagnostic and therapeutic level, medical professionals should have knowledge of and be familiar with antibacterials and use them in a reasonable way in combination with bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test, if possible.

    Objective: To analyze the risk factors of myelopathy induced by intrathecal methotrexate. Methods: Thirtysix patients with intrathecal methotrexateinduced myelopathy were collected from English literature between 1969 and 2007. The age and original diseases of the patients, the dosage and frequency of intrathecal methotrexate, combined drugs, myelopathy and its outcome were analyzed. Results: Thirty (83.3%) patients age was < 18 years. Thirtyfour cases stated the sigle dose of methotrexate, and 28 (77.8%) of them received methotrexate ≤15 mg, the others received methotrexate < 50 mg. Twentyseven patients received more than 5 injections. Paraplegia after first injection occurred in 2 cases. Eleven patients received methotrexate alone, and 25 patients were given methotrexate combined with cytarabine and/or dexamethasone. The time of myelopathy onset in 11 patients was within 24 hours after intrathecal injection. Flaccid paralysis involving the lower extremities or the extremities occurred in 35 patients. After treatment of highdose methylprednisolone and folic acid, 21 patients motor and sensory functions of the extremities partly or fully recovered. And 11(30.6%) patients died.

    ObjectiveTo investigate the potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) and their risk factors in elderly inpatients.MethodsThe medical record data of patients≥65 years, who were discharged from the Department of Geriatrics in Tsinghua University First Hospital between October 2013 and May 2014, were collected and retrospectively studied. The PIM and PIM related to certain diseases were evaluated according to the 2012 Beers criteria. Multivariate logistic regression were performed to analyze the risk factors of PIM.ResultsA total of 217 patients were enrolled in this study. Of them, 120 (55.3%) were males and 97 (44.7%) were females with age from 65 to 97 years and their average age was (80±6) years. In the 217 patients, the disease categories were 3 to 14 in each patient, 3-5 in 52 patients (24.0%), 6-10 in 141 patients (65.0%), 11-14 in 24 patients (11.1%), and the average category was 7±3. The hospitalization time was 4-57 days with average time of (17±10) days in each patient. In the 217 patients, the categories of drugs were 2-49 each day in each patient, 2-5 kinds in 33 patients (15.2%),6-10 in 84 patients (38.7%), >10 kinds in 100 patients (46.1%), and the average category was 12±8. In the 217 patients, 79 patients (36.4%) received PIM listed in the 2012 Beers criteria, 16 kinds of drugs were involved and cumulative 76 PIMs were found. Of them, the most wildly used drugs were sedatives and hypnotics [51.3% (39/76)]. In the 79 patients with PIM, 42 patients were given PIMs related to certain diseases in the 2012 Beers criteria, 18 kinds of drugs were involved and cumulative 62 PIM involving disease status such as fracture, dementia, insomnia, constipation, heart failure, prostatic hyperplasia, delirium, chronic kidney disease, and Parkinson′s disease. Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors of PIM were hospitalization time (OR=1.06, 95%CI: 1.022-1.094, P=0.001), disease categories (OR=1.15, 95%CI: 1.014-1.302, P=0.03), and daily used drug categories (OR=1.05, 95%CI: 1.005-1.104, P= 0.03).ConclusionThe incidence of PIMs in elderly inpatients was high and its risk factors are hospitalization time, disease categories and daily used drug categories.

    Objective: To investigate the situation of antihypertensive drugs' use and their adverse effects for elderly outpatients. Method: Information of antihypertensive drugs' use and the resulting adverse effects in 955 elderly cases with primary hypertension in outpatient department was collected by questionnaire visit and physical examination. Results: The most common drugs, which the patients would use to decrease blood pressure, were nifedipine delayed-release tablet(69.8%), nifedipine(30.8%) and metoprolol(27.5%), and then followed by indapamide, enalapril, terazosin, benazepril and captopril. Only nearly half of patients' blood pressure were under control in normal range (systolic pressure <140mmHg, dialectic pressure <90mmHg). The most common adverse effects were lower limb edema for calcium antagonists, hypokalemia for diuretics, cough for ACEI (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors), bradycardia for βreceptor blockers and postural hypotension for αreceptor blockers. Conclusion: Antihypertensive drugs were not satisfactory for control of blood pressure and the adverse reactions were common in elderly outpatients.

Twentyfour hours later, he developed oliguria. His SCr, BUN, and uric acid levels were 246 μmol/L, 16.3 mmol/L, and 497 mmol/L, respectively. Thirtysix hours later, his blood methotrexate concentration was 25 μmol/L. Ultrasound examination revealed a slightly heterogeneous distribution in the renal density and a 2.1 cm x 2.3 cm echofree area in the right upper pole of kidney. Acute renal damage was diagnosed. The patient received treatments including calcium folinated 200 mg/3 h, adequate dehydration, alkalization of urine, and hemodialysis. The blood methotrexate concentration decreased, and his SCr and BUN levels returned to normal. Analysis of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T genotype in his mother’s peripheral blood lymphocytes, the patient’s peripheral blood lymphocytes and oral epithelial cells revealed that C:T was 1:1,1:1 and 1:1.5 respectively. Therefore, it suggested that the renal damage might be link to genotype.

    Iodinated contrast media (ICM) are the most commonly used drugs in diagnostic visualisation technique. ICM may be classified as ionic and nonionic according to their chemical structure or highosmolar, lowosmolar, and isoosmolar according to their osmolality. ICM are generally considered to be relatively safe, but serious adverse reactions may occur, such as severe immediate hypersensitivity reactions. Severe immediate hypersensitivity reactions may lead to angioedema, unconsciousness, profound hypotension, arrhythmias, respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest, and so on. The incidence rates of severe immediate hypersensitivity reactions to ionic and nonionic ICM are 0.1%- 0.4% and 0.02%- 0.04%,respectively. The most significant risk factor for an immediate hypersensitivity reaction is a history of a hypersensitivity reaction to contrast media. Other risk factors are the history of asthma and allergic history to drug or food, and so on. The mechanism of ICM-induced immediate hypersensitivity reactions may be related to histamine release from basophil and mast cells. Histamine release might be due to a direct membrane effect associated with the solution osmolarity or the chemical structure of ICM, an activation of the complement system, as well as the formation of bradykinin and the activation of antigenantibody reactions mediated by IgE. The preventive and therapeutic measures are as follows: (1) application of low-osmolar or iso-osmolar and nonionic ICM as far as possible; (2) the skin test and the premedication such as glucocorticoid and antihistamine to the patients with risk factors should be recommended; (3) the patients with moderate or severe hypersensitivity reactions to ICM should receive the symptomatic and supportive treatments.

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the kidney′s safety of edaravone injection.MethodsThe clinical data of patients who were hospitalized in Neurology Department of Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2014 to June 2014 and had complete medical records, aged ≥45 years and received edaravone injection for cerebrovascular disease were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The patients′ information, complications, time of application of edaravone injection (30 mg, twice daily, IV infusion), drug combination  and the levels of serum creatinine were recorded. The serum creatinine elevated to ≥26.4 μmol/L, or increased 1.5 times of baseline were the diagnostic criteria of kidney injury after receiving edaravone injection.ResultsA total of 237 patients′medical records comprised 163 male and 74 female, with average age of (65±9) years (50 to 86 years) were collected. The average time of edaravone injection administration was 11 days (2 to 26 days) for all patients. Eleven patients (4.6%) developed kidney injury. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of kidney injury between male and female patients[4.9% (8/163) vs.4.1% (3/74),P>0.05 for all comparisons]. The incidence of kidney injury in patients who were 75 years or older was higher than those in the patients who aged between 45 to 59 years and 60 to 74 years [11.4% (4/35) vs. 3.8% (3/80), 3.3% (4/122),P<0.05 for all comparisons]. The incidence of kidney injury in patients with chronic renal insufficiency or renal cyst was higher than that in patients without chronic renal insufficiency or renal cyst [9.1%(2/22) vs. 4.2%(9/215),7.7%(2/26) vs. 4.3%(9/211),P<0.05]. The average level of serum creatinine in the 11 patients before treatment was (68±24) μmol/L (26 to 113 μmol/L) and increased to (101±36) μmol/L (52 to 187 μmol/L) after receiving edaravone injection for 9 to 13 days (average days of 11). The serum creatinine levels of the 11 patients returned to the levels before administration after edaravone withdrawal. The 11 patients with kidney injury were all co-treated with three or more kinds of drugs. ConclusionsThe kidney′s safety of edaravone injection is higher in patients who were under 75 years, without chronic renal insufficiency and renal cyst. Dynamic monitoring of kidney function should be given in patients who are  75 years or older, with chronic renal insufficiency or renal cyst when receiving edaravone injection.

    Objective To explore the neurological adverse events (AE) associated to brexucabtagene autoleucel (brexu-cel) and their risk of occurrence. Methods Neurological AE reports related to brexu-cel were collected through the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database from July 1, 2020 to September 31, 2022. The AEs were classified and counted according to the system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) 24.1. The information component (IC) method and the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method were used to perform signal mining. AEs with ≥3 reports and a lower limit of 95% confidence interval (CI) for IC>0 or that for ROR>1 were defined as positive risk signals. The proportion of patients who suffered fatal outcomes after experiencing neurological AEs related to brexu-cel was analyzed. Results A total of 1-960 neurological AE reports related to brexu-cel were collected, involving 559 patients and 22 PTs. Fifteen positive signals (PT) were detected by using the IC and ROR methods. The top 5 PTs in the number of AE reports were immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (153 reports), altered mental status (32 reports), encephalopathy (29 reports), tremor (27 reports), and aphasia (25 reports); the top 5 PTs with the high signal intensity were immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (IC=7.81, ROR=235.74), encephalopathy (IC=4.74, ROR=26.96), aphasia (IC=4.28, ROR=19.58), cerebral edema (IC=3.35, ROR=10.24), and incontinence (IC=3.04, ROR=8.22); incontinence (6 cases, IC=3.04, ROR=8.22) was not recorded in the drug instruction. Patients involved in 17 PTs, out of the 22 PTs, had fatal outcomes, and the proportion of deaths from immune effector cell-associated neurotoxi- city syndrome was 18% (28/153). The PTs with a proportion of patient deaths >50% were unresponsive to stimuli (80%, 4/5), brain oedema (75%, 6/8), cerebrovascular accident (67%, 2/3), lethargy (60%, 3/5), and seizure (57%, 4/7). Conclusions Neurological AEs related to brexu-cel are common, of which incontinence is not yet recorded in the drug instruction. The clinical outcomes of some AEs (unrespontive to stimulus, brain oedema, and lethargy) are poor and should be closely monitored.

    A 44-year-old male patient was hospitalized twice for chronic hepatitis B and alcoholic cirrhosis with hepatic encephalopathy. During the 2 times of hospitalization, the patient was treated with reduced glutathione and ornithine aspartate and developed bilateral submandibular gland enlargement on the 2nd day after the first medication in each hospitalization. Physical examination showed no abnormal skin color and temperature, no obvious tenderness, intact oral mucosa, and no redness and swelling of submandibular gland duct orifice. Ultrasonic examination showed diffuse enlargement of bilateral submandibular gland and visible peripheral lymph nodes and bilateral cervical lymph nodes. It was never aware to be drug-related in the first occurrence of submandibular gland enlargement, therefore the drug was not stopped and no special treatment was given. The patient′s submandibular gland enlargement subsided spontaneously 2 days later. During the 2nd hospitalization, the patient developed bilateral submandibular gland enlargement again, which was considered to be related to reduced glutathione because no submandibular gland enlargement appeared in the patient during the repeated use of ornithine aspartate in the past. Then the reduced glutathione was stopped and ornithine aspartate was continued. The patient′s submandibular gland enlargement subsided completely 1 day later.

    A 59-year-old man developed a temporary skin rash on his lower limbs after taking carbamazepine 0.1 g 1-2 times daily for seven days for tinnitus. His rash disappeared after withdrawal of carbamazepine. Subsequently, he was hospitalised with worsening tinnitus and received oral carbamazepine 0.1 g twice daily and oral mecobalamin 1 mg thrice daily. On day 2 of admission, his temperature was 39.2 ℃ and, on day 3, he presented with a red maculopapular rash on his face, body, and both knees. Biochemical blood tests revealed the following values: ALT 359 U/L, AST 137 U/L, γ-GT 506 U/L, and LDH 273 U/L. Carbamazepine and mecobalamin was stopped. Methylprednisolone and anti-allergic therapy were given. Two day later, his temperature normalized and, five days later, rash and hepatic function improved gradually. On day 9 of admission, the patient had a fever again with a temperature of 38.1 ℃. Later, his rash recurred and progressed to involve his entire body. Laboratory tests showed the following levels: WBC 13.78×109/L with eosinophils 0.113, ALT 187 U/L, AST 45 U/L, γ-GT 374 U/L, and LDH 239 U/L. Carbamazepine-induced hypersensitivity syndrome was diagnosed. Methylprednisolone and human immune globulin were given and his rash and hepatic function improved.

    Medications in pregnancy can be divided into five categories (A, B, C, D, X). Bronchial asthma medications involve controller medication and relief medication. Inhaled corticosteroids are recommended as first-line controller medications for pregnant women with asthma. Low to medium dose of these drugs is generally safe and budesonide (category B) is considered to be the first choice. Short-acting β2 -agonists are recommended as first-line relief medications for pregnant women with asthma and albuterol (category C) is the first choice. Systemic corticosteroids during pregnancy could cause elevated incidence of hypertension in pregnancy and preeclampsia. Besides, systemic corticosteroids in first trimester of pregnancy could induce occurrence of fetal cleft lip and cleft palate. Leukotriene modifier, cromolyn, and nedocromil have generally been established as safe to mothers and infants, but none of them is the first choice. Low dose theophylline for mild persistent asthma during pregnancy can be chosen, but serum concentrations must be monitored, and theophylline is not the first choice either. The use of long-acting β2 -agonists during pregnancy alone has no marked effect on fetal growth and development while the safety to mothers remains to be further investigated. Poor asthma control can lead to hypoxia in pregnant women and it can cause much harm to the mothers and infants. It appears that the risk of consequences of poorly controlled asthma is higher than the adverse effects of asthma medications. In a word, asthma therapy in pregnancy should firstly weight the advantages and disadvantages. Choice of appropriate medication is critical for ensuring maternal and infant health.

    Objective: To investigate the clinical features of oedema and the changes in liver and renal function and thyrotropin level in type 2 diabetic patients following the addition of pioglitazone. Methods:Eight type 2 diabetic patients receiving hypoglycemic agents plus pioglitazone from January to December in 2008 were enrolled in the retrospective investigation. The 8 patients comprised 2 men and 6 women with age of 5268 years \[average age (58.62±5.65) years\]. All patients received more than 2 hypoglycemic agents (metformin, gliquidone, nateglinide, insulin, repaglinide, and acarbose), followed by pioglitazone 1530 mg daily. The time of oedema onset and disappearance and its clinical features were investigated in patients following the addition of pioglitazone. Before and during pioglitazone administration and 2 weeks after oedema disappearance, the urinary analysis, liver and renal function tests were performed. In addition, the TSH level was measured after oedema onset and 2 weeks after oedema disappearance. Results: All patients developed oedema 510 days after pioglitazone start, and its features were bilateral pitting oedema in both feet and legs. The oedema subsided 27 days after pioglitazone withdrawal. The laboratory tests before and during pioglitazone administration and 2 weeks after oedema disappearance revealed that urinary protein was negative; the median serum urea level was 6.20 mmol/L, 6.36 mmol/L, and 5.90 mmol/L, respectively; the median SCr level was 83.5 μmol/L, 87.0 μmol/L, and 78.0 μmol/L, respectively; the median ALT level was 31.5 U /L, 32.0 U /L, and 33.0 U /L, respectively. The TSH level after oedema onset and 2 weeks after oedema disappearance was 7.1 mU/L and 6.9 mU/L, respectively. Conclusion: Type 2 diabetic patients receiving hypoglycemic agents may develop pitting oedema in both feet and legs following the addition of pioglitazone, but there is no effect on liver and renal function and thyrotropin level, and oedema rapidly resolved after pioglitazone discontinuation.

     Semaglutide is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), which is commonly used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and weight loss. Its weight loss effect was exerted mainly by suppressing appetite, delaying gastric emptying, promoting energy metabolism, and accelerating lipolysis. However, delayed gastric emptying can lead to residual gastric content, increasing the risk of pulmonary aspiration during anesthesia. This article reviews the effects and mechanisms of semaglutide on gastric emptying, and proposes preventive measures for perioperative pulmonary aspiration in patients treated with semaglutide by reviewing case reports and clinical studies on semaglutide-related delayed gastric emptying. This provides a reference for the safety of semaglutide treatment during the perio- perative period.

    Genetic polymorphisms of drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters play an important role in antineoplastic drugs toxicity. Drug metabolizing enzymes are associated with antineoplastic drug toxicity include cytochrome P450, flavin-containing monooxygenase, monoamine oxidase, diamine oxidase, alcohol dehydrogenase, catalase, aldehyde dehydrogenase, glutathione S-transferase, UDP-glucuronosyl transferase, sulfotransferase, N-acetyltransferase 2 and thiopurine methyltransferase. Drug transporters are associated with antineoplastic drug toxicity including organic anion transporting polypeptide, organic anion transporter and ATP-binding cassette. Most gene function and single-nucleotide polymorphism are associated with antineoplastic drug toxicity are unclear. Gene bank improved continuously and clarifying the mechanism of between drug toxicity and polymorphisms could promote the individualized treatment and reduce the risk of adverse drug reactions.

    Most patients with drug-induced liver injury (DILI) have a good prognosis. However, 11%-17% of the patients will suffer from chronic DILI, and 6%-10% will suffer from acute liver failure, even death or need for liver transplantation. In 2019, the incidence of DILI in China was 23.8/100-000 person year, which was far higher than that in western countries, so the study on DILI should not be ignored. This paper summarizes the hot issues in the field of DILI in recent years, mainly including the new diagnostic markers, the genetic susceptibility, the in vivo and in vitro models of idiosyncratic DILI, the diagnosis of chronic DILI, the treatment scheme, the prognosis model, the liver injury caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors, etc., in order to provide a reference for clinical workers in future research.

    Objective: To investigate the effects of Ⅳ dexamethasone on the incidence and severity of allergic reactions induced by iopromide used for contrast-enhanced CT scan. Methods: During the period from January 2005 to February 2006, 4 114 patients receiving Ⅳ iopromide 90~100 ml for contrast-enhanced CT scan were collected. The patients were divided into the following two groups: experimental group (2 363 cases) and control group (1 751 cases). The patients in the experimental group were administered with Ⅳ dexamethasone 5 mg 20 min before administration of iopromide. The patients in the control group were administered iopromide alone. The incidence and severity of allergic reactions in the two groups were observed and analyzed. Results: Among the experimental and control groups, there were 15 (0.6%) and 35 (2.0%) cases with allergic reaction, respectively. The difference of incidence of allergic reaction between them were statistically significant(P<0.05). Mild and moderate allergic reactions in the experimental group were 9 and 6 cases, and in the control group were 19 and 16 cases, respectively. There was no significant difference in the severity of allergic reactions between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusion: Intravenous injection of dexamethasone before contrast-enhanced CT scan could decrease the incidence of allergic reactions induced by iopromide. But it does not influence on theseverity of allergic reactions.

    ObjectiveTo select drugs inducing international normalized ratio (INR) elevation by concomitant use of warfarin in inpatients.MethodsThe data of inpatients with increased INR rise (INR>3.50) because of concomitant use of warfarin and other drugs in Linyi People′s Hospital, Shandong University from January 2012 to December 2016 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The baseline conditions, combination drugs, INR rise during treatments, bleeding events, treatments and outcomes in inpatients were recorded. Drugs that could increase anticoagulant effect of warfarin were screened.ResultsA total of 100 patients were enrolled in this study, including 43 men and 57 women aged from 26 to 86 years with an average age of (64±13) years. Primary diseases in 64 patients were atrial fibrillation, in 15 patients were after heart valve replacements, in 10 patients were pulmonary embolism, in 7 patients were lower extremity venous thrombosis, and in 4 patients were myocardial infarction with left ventricular thrombus. Hospital stay were 5-39 d and the average time was (17±7) d; the time of warfarin treatments were 3-36 d and the average time was (11±5) d. Of the 302 kinds of drugs combined with warfarin in the 100 patients, 40 kinds of drugs were found to induce INR elevation, including 16 kinds of anti-infective drugs (66 cases), 7 kinds of endocrine system drugs (28 cases), 4 kinds of cardiovascular system drugs (30 cases), 4 kinds of nervous system drugs (5 cases), 3 kinds of proton pump inhibitors (21 cases), 3 kinds of blood system drugs (4 cases), 2 kinds of proprietary Chinese medicine preparations (10 cases), 1 kind of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (2 cases). According to the number of drug use, the top ten drugs were piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium (27 cases), methylprednisolone (22 cases), levofloxacin (20 cases), amiodarone (20 cases), omeprazole (19 cases), cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium (11 cases), fluvastatin sodium (10 cases), compound liquorice preparations (9 cases), voriconazole (7 cases), latamoxef (4 cases), and moxifloxacin (4 cases). The number of drug combination was 1-5 kinds in each patient, combination drug was 1 kind in 31 cases, 2 kinds in 46 cases, 3 kinds in 18 cases, 4 kinds in 4 cases, and 5 kinds in 1 case. Of the 100 patients with INR elevation, 83 patients stopped taking warfarin and 13 patients were given intramuscular injection of vitamin K1 at the same time, 17 patients′warfarin dose was decreased from 1.25-3.75 mg to 0.75-3.00 mg, then the INR levels in all patients decreased to <3.0. Seven patients had mild bleeding before warfarin withdrawal, including 4 cases of subcutaneous hemorrhage, 1 case of subarachnoid hemorrhage, 1 case of hematochezia, and 1 case of blood in phlegm.ConclusionsMany commonly used drugs in clinical practice, such as compound preparations of β-lactam antibiotics and β-lactamase inhibitors, quinolones, glucocorticoid, anti-arrhythmic drugs, and proton pump inhibitors, etc., could cause INR elevation and increase bleeding risk.

    Objective To explore the safety of simnotrelvir/ritonavir in the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods The medical records of adult patients with COVID-19 who were hospitalized in Lequn Branch, Hospital of the First Hospital of Jilin University from June 9 to September 30, 2023 and treated with simnotrelvir/ritonavir were collected. According to whether adverse drug reactions (ADR) related to simnotrelvir/ritonavir occurred, the patients were divided into ADR group and non-ADR group. The clinical data, occurrence time of ADR, clinical manifestations, severity, treatment and outcome of patients were analyzed retrospectively. Results A total of 189 patients were enrolled in this study, inclu- ding 92 males (48.7%) and 97 females (51.3%), with a median age of 69 (60.5, 74.0) years. The usage and dosage of simnotrelvir/ritonavir were in accordance with the instructions (0.75 g of simnotrelvir and 0.1 g of ritonavir orally, once every 12-hours for 5 days). ADR related to simnotrelvir/ritonavir occurred in 18 of 189 patients (9.5%). There were no significant differences (all P>0.05) in gender, age, smoking status, COVID-19 classification and the proportion of patients with basic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, lung disease, and tumor after surgery between the ADR group (18 patients) and non-ADR group (171 patients). The difference in the propation of patients with liver injury and kidney injury between the 2 groups were statistically significant (both P<0.05). A total of 23 cases of ADR occurred in the ADR group. The occurrence time of ADR was 1 to 8 days after taking simnotrelvir/ritonavir. The clinical manifestations of ADR included digestive system symptoms, elevated transaminases, elevated serum creatinine, elevated serum uric acid, decreased platelet count, decreased white blood cell and neutrophil counts, dizziness, headache, etc. Five patients had 2 kinds of symptoms at the same time. The severity of ADR was grade 1 in 12 patients and grade 2 in 6 patients, and no ≥ grade 3 severe ADR occurred. Except one patient who stopped taking medication due to thrombocytopenia, all other patients completed 5-day treatment. The ADR disappeared after discontinuation of simnotrelvir/ritonavir and 1 to 5 days of symptomatic treatments. Conclusions Simnotrelvir/ritonavir has a good safety in the treatment for COVID-19. The main ADRs are diarrhea and elevated transaminases, with the severity of grade 1-2 and the ADRs disappear after drug withdrawal. The patients with liver and kidney injury should be more alert to the occurrence of ADR when applying simnotrelvir/ritonavir.

    An 87-year-old female patient with advanced lung adenocarcinoma received an IV infusion of camrelizumab 200-mg once every three weeks. The patient developed hyperthyroidism before the 5th treatment, subclinical hypothyroidism before the 6th treatment, and clinical hypothyroidism before the 7th treatment. No other drugs were used during the treatment of camrelizumab, which was considered to be immune thyroid disfunction caused by camrelizumab. Levothyroxine sodium replacement therapy was given. The patients were followed up until the 13th treatment was finished. Except for the occasional high thyroid stimulating hormone, the other indexes were within the reference value range, and the symptoms of abdominal distension, anorexia, chills, and fatigue were basically relieved.

    ABSTRACTObjective: To observe the effects of different concentrations of Tween-80 solutions and injections of Chinese herbal medicine with different contents of Tween-80 on degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells in order to explore the relationship between Tween-80 and anaphylaxis caused by injections of Chinese herbal medicine. Methods:RBL-2H3 cells were cultured in vitro and the different concentrations (40, 20, 10, 2, 1, 0.2, 0.1, 0.05mg/mL) of Tween80 solutions were added into the supernatants and then stained with neutral red. The degranulated cells in the different concentrations of Tween-80 solutions and the control groups were counted, respectively; the percentage of degranulated cells were calculated, and the amount of β-hexosaminidase and histamine release from the cells in the supernatants were measured. The contents of Tween-80 in the chuanghuning and xiangdan injections were determined, and the 50% concentration of inhibition (IC50) of the 2 injections to the RBL-2H3 cells and histamine release from the cells in the supernatants in the 2 injection groups were measured. Results:The experiment of neutral red staining showed degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells, manifested as enlarged mast cells with vacuoles. The percentage of degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells in the 40, 20, 10, 2, 1, 0.2, 0.1 mg/mL Tween-80 solution groups and the RPMI 1640 control group were (57.38±0.47), (32.54±2.33), (21.74±0.72), (16.96±0.26), (11.40±1.70), (9.71±0.26), (7.22±0.15), and (1.51±1.39)%, respectively. There were significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05,P<0.01). The percentage of βhexosaminidase release from RBL2H3 cells in the 40, 20, 2, 1, 0.2 mg/mL Tween-80 solution groups and the RPMI 1640 control group were (52.44±1.53), (18.91±0.77), (7.50±1.82), (6.65±0.20), (6.15±0.27), and (0.35±0.06)%, respectively. There were significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). The different concentrations of Tween-80 solutions induced different levels of histamine release. There was a linear relationship between the percentage of degranulation, β-hexosaminidase release, histamine release from RBL-2H3 cells and the concentration (20-0.1mg/mL) of Tween-80 solutions (r=0.986 2, r=0.984 9, r=0.974 0). The contents of Tween-80 in the chuanghuning and xia
