ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of parecoxib and ketorolac tromethamine for perioperative analgesia， and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical drug use. METHODS Retrieved from PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， CNKI， VIP， Wanfang Data， Baidu and Google， randomized controlled trials （RCT） about parecoxib （trial group） versus ketorolac tromethamine （control group） for perioperative analgesia were collected from the inception to Jun. 17th， 2022. After screening the literature and extracting the data， the quality of the included literature was evaluated using the bias risk assessment tool recommended by Cochrane system evaluator manual 5.1.0. Meta-analysis， sensitivity analysis and publication bias analysis were performed with RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS A total of 12 RCTs were included， with 1 118 patients. Meta- analysis results showed that at the time of administration before anesthesia induction， there was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in visual analogue scale （VAS） [MD＝－0.16， 95%CI （－0.41， 0.09）， P＝0.20]， numerical rating scale （NRS） [MD＝0.01， 95%CI （－0.36， 0.38）， P＝0.97]， postoperative bleeding [MD＝0.15， 95%CI （－0.63， 0.93）， P＝0.71]， and consumption of opioid analgesics [MD＝0.12， 95%CI （－0.77， 1.01）， P＝0.79]. At the time of postoperative administration， VAS and bleeding volume at 48 h after operation of trial group were significantly lower than control group （P＜0.05）. The results of subgroup analysis by different com assessment time points showed that the VAS of patients in trial group at 0 h after operation were significantly lower than control group at the time of administration before anesthesia induction； at the time of postoperative administration， VAS of patients in the trial group at 12 h and 48 h after operation were significantly lower than control group （P＜0.05）. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups [RR＝0.93，95%CI （0.78，1.11），P＝0.43]. The results of subgroup analysis according to different types of adverse reactions showed that the incidence of nausea and vomiting of trial group was significantly lower than control group， and the incidence of other adverse reactions was significantly higher than control group （P＜0.05）. Results of sensitivity analysis showed that study results were stable and reliable. Results of publication bias analysis showed that there was great possibility of publication bias in this study. CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of parecoxib is equivalent to that of ketorolac tromethamine for perioperative analgesia before operation； at the time of administration after operation， parecoxib has better analgesic effect and less postoperative bleeding； the incidence of nausea and vomiting caused by parecoxib is lower at any time of administration.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To optimize the f ormulation of docetaxel （DTX）-mPEG-PLGA-mPEG （PELGE）-nanoparticles （NPs），and to characterize it and evaluate its in vitro drug release and antitumor activity. METHODS ：PELGE were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization. DTX-PELGE-NPs were prepared by using emulsion solvent evaporation method. The content of DTX in DTX-PELGE-NPs was determined by HPLC. Box-Behnken design-response surface methodology was applied to optimize the formulation of the nanoparticles using the amount of DTX ，PELGE and poloxamer 188 as independent variable ，using entrapped efficiency as dependent variable. The particle size and Zeta-potential of DTX-PELGE-NPs were characterized by laser particle size analyzer and transmission electron microscope. The in vitro release of the DTX-PELGE-NPs was investigated by ultra-filtered centrifugation，using DTX injection as reference. In vitro cytotoxicity of the DTX-PELGE-NPs was investigated by MTT assay ， using DTX and PELGE-NPs without DTX as reference . RESULTS ：The optimal formulation included 2.80 mg DTX ，20.60 mg PELGE and 6％ poloxamer 188. The entrapped efficiency of optimized DTX-PELGE-NPs was （86.79±1.32）％；drug-loading amount was （10.21±0.78）％，and average particle size was （78.4±2.9）nm；polydispersity coeffici ent was （0.187±0.018）and Zeta potential was （－20.6±1.5）mV. Furthermore ，DTX- PELGE-NPs showed a regular spherical and uniform distribution under scanning electron microscopy. Compared with DTXinjection（accumulative release rate of 92.3％ at 4 h），DTX- PELGE-NPs had a significant sustained-release effect （accumu-lative release rate of 78.6％ at 36 h）. 0.1-50 μg/mL PELGE-NPs had no obvious cytotoxicity to human breast cancer cells MCF-7（P＞0.05）. 0.5-10 μg/mL DTX-PELGE-NPs could significantly inhibit the growth of human breast cancer cells MCF-7， and its inhibitory effect （except for DTX-PELGE-NPs 10 μg/mL group）was significantly stronger than that of DTX injection （P＜ 0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：The optimized formulation is stable and feasible. The obtained DTX-PELGE-NPs not only have uniform particle size ，high encapsulation rate obvious slow-release effect ，but also have stronger anti-tumor effect in vitro than DTX injection.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE： To study the relationships of polymorphism of MTRR gene rs1801394 locus and SLCO1B1 gene rs11045879 locus with drug concentration of methotrexate （MTX） and high-dose MTX （HD-MTX）-induced ADR in acute lymphoblastic leukemia （ALL） children. METHODS： From Oct. 2015 to Sept. 2018， 70 ALL hospitalized children of Han nationality in Sichuan area who received HD-MTX treatment and were in consolidation chemotherapy were selected retrospectively from Sichuan People’s Hospital. The blood concentration of MTX at 48 and 72 hours after administration was measured by EMIT. The genetic typing of MTRR gene rs1801394 locus and SLCO1B1 gene rs11045879 locus were detected with real-time PCR. The relationships of the polymorphism of MTRR gene and SLCO1B1 gene with MTX blood concentration [dose-corrected concentration （c48 h/D，48 h）， the proportion of children with different concentration of MTX （≤0.1， ＞0.1 μmol/L）] and ADR （such as myelosuppression， liver function damage， gastrointestinal response， mucosal damage， rash， etc.） were analyzed. Binary Logistic regression analysis for the correlation of ADR with different influencing factors （gene polymor- phism， blood concentration of MTX， immunophenotyping， body mass index， etc.） was carried out by Wald method. RESULTS： Totally 31， 32， 7 children with MTRR gene AA， AG and GG genotype， while 23， 37， 10 children with SLCO1B1 gene TT， TC and CC genotype were detected. The distribution of each genotype in 70 children conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium （P＞0.05）. There was no significant difference in c48 h/D（48 h） of children and the proportion of children with different concentration of MTX （72 h） among difterent genotypes of MTRR and SLCO1B1 gene （P＞0.05）. There was statistical significance in the incidence of liver function injury in children with different genotypes of MTRR gene （P＜0.05）， and the AA genotype was significantly higher than the AG+GG genotype （P＜0.05）. There was no correlation of MTRR gene polymorphism with the incidence of other ADR， neither SLCO1B1 gene polymorphism with the incidence of ADR （P＞0.05）. The results of Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that liver function damage in ALL children was related to the gene polymorphism of MTRR； gastrointestinal reaction was related to whether the plasma concentration was more than 0.1 μmol/L at 72 h； mucosal damage was related to the immune type and BMI of children； the occurrence of skin allergy was correlated with body weight of children（P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS： Gene polymorphism of MTRR rs1801394 locus may associated with the occurrence of HD-HTX-induced liver function injury in ALL children， but its polymorphism and gene polymorphism of SLCO1B1 rs11045879 locus are not related to MTX blood concentration in ALL children.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the early diagnosis and treatment for burn complicated with severe paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH).@*Methods@#Medical records of patients with burn complicated with severe PSH, admitted to our department from April 2016 to March 2019 and meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed retrospectively. There were 4 males and 1 female, aged 17 months to 39 years, with an average of (21±16) years. During occurrence of PSH, the vital signs of patients were routinely monitored and oxygen were given. Other treatment included central venous catheterization and infusion of electrolyte solution, infusion of plasma according to patients′ condition, use of opioid analgesics and benzodiazepine sedatives, physical cooling and drug cooling, and establishment or maintenance of artificial airway and use of ventilator. Heart rate was controlled below 120 beats per minute in adults and 140 beats per minute in children with comprehensive treatment dominated by analgesia and sedation. Besides, single or multiple vasoactive agents, even in large doses were used to maintain normal blood pressure of patients. The occurrence characteristics, time, and treatment outcome of PSH were analyzed.@*Results@#PSH happened rapidly, with a sharp increase in several minutes to dozens of minutes. Five patients were with symptoms such as high body temperature, shortness of breath, very fast heart rate, normal or elevated systolic blood pressure, hyperhidrosis, and dystonia at the onset. The symptoms occurred simultaneously or successively. According to the Clinical Feature Scale, the above-mentioned 6 indexes achieved the highest score of 3 points except of systolic blood pressure. Four patients showed dilated pupils and impaired consciousness. Among the patients, PSH occurred in the acute exudation stage in 3 patients, in the fluid reabsorption stage in 1 patient, and in the late repair stage in 1 patient. PSH of patients lasted for 3 hours to 12 days. The symptoms of 4 patients were effectively controlled, and 1 patient died of deterioration. No PSH occurred in the cured patients during follow-up of 3 to 14 months.@*Conclusions@#Burn complicated with PSH can occur at any time before wound repair and in patients with different injury conditions. The causes of PSH include sudden burn, persistent pain, fright and fear, strange environment, low blood volume, and other adverse stimuli, and PSH is more likely to occur in children with underdeveloped brain function. Intravenous infusion of analgesics sedatives, physical therapy and medication to lower body temperature, stabilizing blood pressure and respiration are effective measures to treat PSH. PSH should be distinguished from the common complications of burns, such as sepsis, cerebral edema, hyperpyretic convulsion, transfusion response, stress disorder, etc.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the effects of citric acid on patients with severe burn complicated with acute renal injury treated by continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).@*Methods@#Medical records of 83 patients with large area of burn complicated with acute renal injury admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of our department from January 2015 to December 2018 and meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into heparin group [n=43, 25 males and 18 females, aged (35.0±2.5) years] and citric acid group [n=40, 22 males and 18 females, aged (37.0±6.6) years] according to different anticoagulation methods. After admission, routine support treatment and CRRT were performed after being diagnosed with acute renal injury in patients in 2 groups. Patients in heparin group were treated with low molecular weight heparin for anticoagulation with first dosage of 20 U/kg and an increase of 2.5 to 5.0 U per hour, and patients in citric acid group were given citric acid of 0.02 g/mL with dosage of 150~200 mL/h for anticoagulation. The use time of blood filter, recovery time of urine volume, and time of staying in ICU, and platelet count, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), and serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, cystatin C, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, and neutrophil, leukocyte count, blood sugar, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and heart rate, body temperature, and mean arterial pressure before treatment and post treatment hour (PTH) 24 were recorded. Besides, occurrence of hemorrhage, hypocalcemia, metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, and death within 28 days post injury were recorded. Data were processed with t test and chi-square test.@*Results@#The use time of blood filter of patients in citric acid group was (28.7±3.2)h, significantly longer than (19.4±2.6) h in heparin group (t=14.139, P<0.01). The recovery time of urine volume and time of staying in ICU of patients in citric acid group were respectively (7.6±0.9) and (9.6±1.3) d, significantly shorter than (9.2±1.5) and (11.2±1.8) d in heparin group (t=5.516, 4.697, P<0.01). Before treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in platelet count, APTT, and PT of patients in 2 groups (t=1.235, 0.515, 1.279, P>0.05). At PTH 24, the platelet count of patients in citric acid group was significantly higher than that in heparin group (t=10.947, P<0.01), and APTT and PT of patients in citric acid group were significantly shorter than those in heparin group (t=7.069, 9.142, P<0.01). Before treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, and cystatin C of patients in 2 groups (t=1.684, 1.878, 1.472, P>0.05). At PTH 24, the serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, and cystatin C of patients in citric acid group were significantly lower than those in heparin group (t=7.778, 9.776, 5.117, P<0.01). Before treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in serum procalcitonin and C-reactive protein of patients in 2 groups (t=1.413, 0.898, P>0.05). At PTH 24, the serum procalcitonin and C-reactive protein of patients in citric acid group were significantly lower than those in heparin group (t=2.635, 2.297, P<0.05). Before treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in neutrophil, leukocyte count, blood sugar, AST, and ALT of patients in 2 groups (t=0.555, 0.816, 0.470, 1.896, 0.982, P>0.05). At PTH 24, the neutrophil, leukocyte count, blood sugar, AST, and ALT of patients in citric acid group were significantly lower than those in heparin group (t=2.054, 3.314, 7.185, 2.151, 3.013, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Before treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in heart rate, body temperature, and mean arterial pressure of patients in 2 groups (t=1.406, 0.474, 0.720, P>0.05). At PTH 24, the heart rate, body temperature, and mean arterial pressure of patients in citric acid group were significantly lower than those in heparin group (t=2.307, 4.498, 2.056, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The incidence of hemorrhage of patients in citric acid group while in hospital was significantly lower than that in heparin group (χ2=4.949, P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in incidence of hypocalcemia, metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, and death rate within 28 days post injury of patients in 2 groups while in hospital (χ2=3.346, 0.884, 0.297, 0.324, P>0.05).@*Conclusions@#Citric acid has significant anticoagulant effect on patients with large area of burn complicated with acute renal injury treated by CRRT, which can prolong the use time of the blood filter, shorten the recovery time of urine volume and time of staying in ICU, improve renal function indexes, blood biochemical indexes, and inflammation indexes, maintain the stability of internal environment, and reduce the risk of hemorrhage.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To understand the application of proprietary Chinese medicine by clinicians in integrated medical insti-tutions,and provide reference for its rational use. METHODS:The questionnaire was designed,including related issues of proprie-tary Chinese medicine clinical application(such as medication basis of proprietary Chinese medicine,combined medication,clini-cal efficacy and its influencing factors,medication for special groups and so on)and suggestions;the questionnaires were delivered to the clinicians who worked in some second and third grade of integrated medical institutions located in southwestern regions and Chengdu,and the questionnaires was in the form of an anonymous;relevant data of available questionnaire were collected statisti-cally;the application situation of proprietary Chinese medicines and the existence question were analyzed,and suggestions were put forward. RESULTS:Totally 300 questionnaires were sent out,264 were effectively received,with effective rate of 88.0%. The clinicians involved in investigation were mainly in undergraduate,mostly the resident physicians and attending physician;only 6.8%of the physicians received the training of basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine after work;36.4%physicians often pre-scribe proprietary Chinese medicines,and the medication basis was mainly in package insert (64.0%) and clinical experience (55.3%);51.1% thought unclear indications affected the application of proprietary Chinese medicines,64.0% thought package in-sert can not meet clinical needs. In terms of answers in brief questions,the surveyed clinicians generally considered the package in-sert was too simple,which needed further perfected. CONCLUSIONS:The problems in clinical application of proprietary Chinese medicines should not be ignored. The relevant departments should strengthen the supervision of clinical application of proprietary Chinese medicines,and strengthen the re-evaluation of proprietary Chinese medicines market,as to provide data support for the continuous improvement of package insert. Medical institutions should carry out training timely for the physicians who prescribe pro-prietary Chinese medicines,the pharmacists should strengthen checking of proprietary Chinese medicines prescription and special prescription comment,and ensure prescription checking and comment play a active role in promoting rational drug use based on“proprietary Chinese medicines clinical application guiding principle”“prescription management method”.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for clinical rational use of anti-epileptic drugs. METHODS:In this retrospective review,serum concentrations of anti-epileptic drugs in a total of 499 patients who were treated with anti-epileptic drugs (such as sodium phenytoin,phenobarbital,carbamazepine and valproate sodium) in our hospital during 2007 were analyzed statistically. RESULTS:Among the patients receiving one kind of anti-epileptic drugs,206 cases (61.49%) were within normal range in blood concentration versus only 45 cases (44.12%) for patients receiving combined drugs. In addition,the above four drugs (sodium phenytoin,phenobarbital,carbamazepine and valproate sodium) were detected in 59.68% of the patients who took Chinese medicines,and among them,3.23% were within normal range in blood concentration. CONCLUSION:Monitoring on serum concentrations of anti-epileptic drugs is conducive to a better control of therapeutic concentration. It is advisable to refrain from using anti-epileptic drugs in combination but to adopt individualized administration. In addition,great importance should be attached to whether there are chemo-synthetic drug components contained in Chinese medicine.
