    Abstract356)      PDF(pc) (1383KB)(963)       Save
    Objective To investigate the applications of PDCA cycle management method in the review of prescriptions for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces and to analyze its role in improving the rate of standard prescriptions and promoting the rational use of medicines. Methods A total of 645 prescriptions for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces given by the outpatient clinic between October and December 2023 were selected as the control group while the prescriptions after the first and second rounds of PDCA cycle management from January to March 2024 (612 prescriptions) and from April to June 2024 (615 prescriptions) were selected for the intervention group. The results of review of prescriptions before and after the PDCA cycle was carried out were compared to evaluate the utility of the method in improving the qualified rate of Chinese medicine prescriptions. Results After two PDCA cycles, the qualified rate of prescriptions for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces was significantly improved. In the first stage study group, the qualified rate of outpatient Chinese medicine prescriptions was significantly increased from 70.54% to 81.69%(P<0.05), but it did not reach the intended goal. In the second stage study group, the qualified rate of outpatient Chinese medicine prescriptions was increased to 91.87% (P<0.05). In case of diagnostic absence, lack of Chinese medicine diagnosis, lack of labeling of special decoctions, and in terms of rational use of toxic sips, the qualified rate of the second stage study group was significantly higher than that of the control group and the first stage study group(P<0.05). Conclusion The PDCA cycle management method can effectively improve the quality and rationality of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces.

    AO Ting, WANG Ningning, ZHOU Lei, DENG Huifang, YANG Xingxin, ZHOU Wei, SHEN Pan, GAO Yue
    Chinese Journal of Pharmacovigilance    2024, 21 (6): 611-616.   DOI: 10.19803/j.1672-8629.20240317
    Abstract137)      PDF(pc) (2408KB)(949)       Save
    Objective To investigate the effects of Fructus Psoraleae (FP) in accordance with clinical medicinal characteristics on the liver of zebrafish based on the proteome and its potential hepatotoxic mechanism. Methods Adult zebrafish were continuously treated with low, medium, and high concentrations of FP decoction (0.025, 0.050, 0.100 mg·mL-1) for 21 days. Changes in zebrafish body weight, liver histopathology, and levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the serum detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were compared. Potential hepatotoxic mechanisms were studied based on identified liver proteome through cluster and pathway enrichment analysis, and molecular docking was used to explore potential toxic targets of the main hepatotoxic components of FP. Results Zebrafish treated with FP decoction showed a significant decrease in body weight compared to the control group, with a more pronounced weight loss as the concentration increased. The levels of ALT and AST were significantly elevated in the Angelica sinensis treated group, with a dose-dependent effect (P < 0.05). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining results showed disordered arrangement of liver cells, increased gaps, and phenomena such as steatosis and immune cell infiltration in the liver tissues of the FP-treated group compared to the control group, with the severity of the lesions worsening with increasing concentration. Cluster and functional enrichment analysis of the proteome indicated that FP affected the expression of lipid and energy metabolism-related proteins, including acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1 (acat1), 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ehhadh), succinate dehydrogenase (sdha) and succinate dehydrogenase (sdhb) in the zebrafish liver, and molecular docking revealed the potential of the main hepatotoxic components in FP to bind to these proteins. Conclusion Long-term Fructus Psoraleae administration causes hepatic lipid metabolism disorders, ultimately resulting in hepatotoxicity characterized by steatosis, with the potential toxicity mechanism involving abnormal expression of lipid and energy metabolism-related proteins induced by main hepatotoxic compounds in FP.

    Abstract395)      PDF(pc) (1234KB)(913)       Save
    Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and potential allergenic mechanisms of atorvastatin induced severe generalized rash in patients with chronic diseases, providing a warning for future polypharmacy and reference for early clinical management. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on a patient with cerebral infarction who developed a generalized rash after polypharmacy (amlodipine, aspirin, atorvastatin, urinary kallidinogenase and edaravone dexborneol) was conducted. The rash worsened even after discontinuing urinary kallidinogenase and edaravone dexborneol and switching aspirin to clopidogrel. The rash subsided only after discontinuing all medications except for antiallergic drugs. When clopidogrel and amlodipine were reintroduced, the rash did not recur. The Naranjo score and literature review were used to analyze the potential allergenic drug. Results Based on the clinical presentation of the rash and its relationship with the timing of medication, combined with the Naranjo score of 5 for atorvastatin, it is very likely that atorvastatin is the drug causing the patient’s rash. Conclusions Clinicians should be aware that atorvastatin can cause severe generalized rash in chronic diseases patients a few days after administration during polypharmacy.

    Abstract222)      PDF(pc) (2126KB)(802)       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.

Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of the clinical manifestations of 51 Mpox patients treated between June 1, 2023 and June 15, 2024 in the Department of the Dermatology, Beijing Ditan Hospital. The clinical characteristics were summarized. Results In this study, all the 51 patients with Mpox were males ages 18 to 57, with a median age of 32 years, all of whom had a history of intercourse with men before the onset of the disease, with an incubation period of 1-30 days and a median of 7 days. The most common clinical manifestations were rashes (51/51, 100%) and fever (31/51, 60.78%). The primary rash was papules or pustules with central necrotic crusting. All patients had skin rashes, 24 of whom (24/51, 47.06%) developed rashes that were limited to the genitals and perianal area, 12 (12/51, 23.53%) started with generalized pustules, and 15 (15/51, 29.41%) had rashes that were initially localized before being generalized. 31 cases (31/51, 60.78%) had fever, which did not necessarily follow the rash. There were 32 (32/51,62.75%) HIV-positive patients, 2 (2/51, 3.92%) were in the AIDS stage (CD4+ T lymphocytes < 200 cells·μL), and one died. There were 25 cases (25/51, 49.02%) with positive serological tests for syphilis. As symptomatic treatment, 39 patients (39/51, 76.47%) were treated with symptomatic supportive care, including topical and oral anti-infective drugs(such as fusidic acid cream, povidone iodine solution, valaciclovir and cefprozil), 12 patients received no medication, and most of the outcomes were good except for one death. Conclusion Patients during this Mpox epidemic were mostly men who had sex with men, and the clinical manifestations were primarily pustules with central necrotic scabs. Some patients were accompanied by fever, AIDS complicated with Mpox could cause death, and most patients had a good prognosis after symptomatic treatment.
