    Chinese Journal of Pharmacovigilance    2024, 21 (4): 361-365.   DOI: 10.19803/j.1672-8629.20240057
    Abstract221)      PDF(pc) (2126KB)(774)       Save
    Objective To systematically sort out the drug information and current status of clinical research on the treatment of Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion (RSA) with Chinese patent medicines, so as to provide reference evidence for the rational use of medicines in the clinic, and a basis for the decision-making in the clinical practice and healthcare. Methods We carried out Chinese and English database document retrieval to review the clinical studies on Chinese patent medicines for the treatment of RSA. Relevant software was used to manage the literature, extract the basic information of the drugs and studies, and carry out visual comparative analyses in the form of textual descriptions and charts. Results A total of 95 research articles on Chinese patent medicines were screened out, including 2 systematic reviews and 93 clinical studies. 11 types of Chinese patent medicines were involved, including 1 Chinese medicine injection. The drugs with a higher number of clinical studies were Zishenyutai pills, Gushenantai pills, and Baotailing preparation. Since 2005, the number of related studies has been on an overall elevated trend, and has been carried out in 24 regions of China, the largest number of studies with sample sizes of 51~100 cases included 67 (72.04%); the type of comparison with the largest number of studies was the comparison of Chinese patent medicines in combination with Western medicines versus Western medicines, with a total number of studies amounted to 75 (80.65%). At present, there is no uniform clinical treatment protocol and efficacy judgement standard, and some studies (43.01%) recorded the occurrence of adverse reactions during drug administration in patients. Conclusion Chinese patent medicines have good suitability for the treatment of RSA, and their effectiveness in combination with western medicines is clear. However, there are problems such as lack of content in the drug instruction, timing and duration of medication and outcome evaluation indexes are not standardised, insufficient attention to medication safety, insufficient embodiment of Chinese medicine characteristics , which needs to be improved in the future.

    Abstract309)      PDF(pc) (1550KB)(736)       Save
    Objective To determine the effectiveness and range of optimal dosages of Lingyang Ganmao oral liquid for children, and to provide reference for medication in children. Methods Based on multi-animal models, five corresponding young animal models that targeted the major properties were used, including the mouse pneumonia model caused by influenza A (H1N1) virus infection, the mouse acute inflammation model for increased permeability of abdominal capillaries caused by glacial acetic acid, the mouse cough model caused by ammonia nebulization, the mouse pain model caused by glacial acetic acid and the rabbit fever model caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). To observe the antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antitussive, analgesic and antipyretic efficacy of Lingyang Ganmao oral liquid in six dosage groups, namely 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mL·kg-1·d-1 for human use (children's dosage).The animal dosages were calculated using the body surface area conversion formula, based on the human dose. For mice, the dosages were 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mL·kg-1·d-1, while for rabbits, the dosages were 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, and 3.0 mL·kg-1·d-1. The results are used to determine the optimal dose range for children. Results Lingyang Ganmao oral liquid could reduce lung indexes, inhibit capillary permeability, reduce the number of times mice coughed and writhed and help lower the body temperature of rabbits. The doses of stable efficacy ranged from 4.0 to 8.0 mL·kg-1·d-1 and from 1.2 to 2.4 mL·kg-1·d-1, respectively, which were equivalent to 0.4-0.8 mL·kg-1·d-1 for human use. Conclusion Lingyang Ganmao oral liquid produces stable and effective antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-cough, analgesic and antipyretic effects within the dose range of 0.4 to 0.8 mL·kg-1·d-1. The recommended dosage is 5mL each time and 1-2 times daily for children ages 1 to 3, 5mL each time and 1-3 times daily for those ages 4 to 6, and 5mL each time and 2-4 times daily for those between 7 and 12.

    Objective To analyze the characteristics and patterns of adverse drug reactions (ADR) induced by antineoplastic medications, and to provide reference for ensuring the safety of ambulatory chemotherapy. Methods A total of 613 reports about ADR caused by antineoplastic drugs between 2021 and 2022 in our hospital were collected and analyzed. Results Among the 613 cases of ADR, 60.03% occurred inside the hospital. Male patients outnumbered female ones and most of the patients ranged from 51 to 70 in age (51.23%). ADR were caused by intravenous infusion in 72.49% of these cases, 14.68% were severe ones, and 4.24% failed to improve after medication withdrawal or treatment. Cytotoxic anti-tumor medicines were responsible for 81.23% of these ADR, with oxaliplatin accounting for 18.65%. The blood or hematopoietic system was responsible for the largest number of ADR (17.68%). Conclusion ADR induced by cytotoxic anticancer drugs should be monitored, with particular attention to special populations and key drugs. When anticancer drugs are used in an ambulatory chemotherapy center, the risk of ADR should be assessed and corresponding treatment plans should be made to ensure the safety of patients.

    Chinese Journal of Pharmacovigilance    2024, 21 (1): 15-19.   DOI: 10.19803/j.1672-8629.20230779
    Abstract323)      PDF(pc) (1290KB)(326)       Save
    Objective To explore the method of discovering signals of hepatotoxicity risk in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) based on national adverse reaction monitoring big data, preliminarily screen risky varieties, and analyze the susceptible factors of liver damage based on the “ Trielement Injury Hypothesis ” theory. Methods Retrospective analysis of adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports related to TCM-induced drug-induced liver injury (DILI) collected between 2012 and 2016. Identify suspicious TCM varieties and predict the susceptible factors for liver damage in these varieties. Results A total of 1 901 ADR reports(1 719 patients) of TCM-induced DILI were collected, and 237 suspicious TCM varieties were newly discovered. Traditional Chinese medicine used for anti-tumor purposes had the highest incidence of DILI. The oral route of administration accounted for the largest proportion (71.70%), with a median latency period of 13.00 days, and the majority of cases had a latency period of 0 to 7 days (34.46%). Analysis based on the “ Trielement Injury Hypothesis ”theory revealed that the TCM varieties suspected of causing DILI were related to the body’s state, the drugs themselves, and the medication environment. Conclusion Discovery of a series of TCM risk signals requires further confirmation of the risk and analysis of the causal mechanisms.

    Abstract257)      PDF(pc) (1401KB)(300)       Save
    Objective To study the clinical diagnosis and treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) in children and the safe and reasonable use of related drugs. Methods Review from the perspectives of epidemiology, clinical and imaging manifestations, treatment methods, and side effects. Results Since the autumn of 2023, there has been a significant increase in MPP in children in China, with clinical manifestations such as fever and cough, which are generally mild and have a good prognosis; A few may develop into severe illness. For children with MPP, macrolides should be the preferred drug, but drug resistance is relatively common in China; Tetracyclines can be substituted and resistance is rare, but they are required for children more than 8 years; Quinolone drugs under the age of 18 belong to the category of over-the-counter medication and are not necessary; Severe MPP can also receive short-term symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment with glucocorticoids. For children with complications such as extensive lung consolidation, atelectasis, and plastic bronchitis, early bronchoalveolar lavage treatment is recommended, and it is recommended to implement it under general anesthesia, which can significantly improve the outcome and prognosis. Conclusion For mild MPP, the application of anti-mycoplasma drugs and symptomatic treatment generally achieves good therapeutic effects; For severe MPP, on the basis of effective anti-infection, short-term treatment with glucocorticoids can be added, and if necessary, bronchoscopic alveolar lavage can significantly improve the outcome and prognosis.
