Research progress on oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medical cognition and prevention and treatment by TCM / 中国中药杂志

Chemotherapy is one of the main options in clinical tumor treatment. Although chemotherapy drugs have a good therapeutic effect, they can also cause a series of adverse reactions, such as neurotoxicity. Chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity is a dose-limi-ting adverse reaction that significantly affects patients' long-term treatment and quality of life. This article reviewed literature from 2000 to the present on chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity and found that oxaliplatin was the most frequently used chemotherapy drug. Based on the clinical characteristics of oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity, this article summarized the understanding of its pathogenesis from both traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and western medicine perspectives, discussed the role and mechanism of TCM compounds and monomeric components, and explored the research direction of using cutting-edge biotechnology to reveal the mechanism of oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity from a temporal-spatial perspective of intercellular communication and the application prospects of an interdisciplinary model combining TCM pathogenesis, western medicine manifestations, and artificial intelligence in precise intervention decision-making for TCM, aiming to provide research ideas for the prevention and treatment of oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity and the development of new drugs.

Adverse effects of oxcarbazepine / 中国当代儿科杂志

Oxcarbazepine is a new antiepileptic drug. The results of clinical trials suggest that oxcarbazepine is well tolerated and has less drug interactions. It is being used more and more widely in clinical practice, but its adverse effects should not be ignored. The most common adverse effects of oxcarbazepine are usually related to the central nervous system and digestive system, including fatigue, drowsiness, diplopia, dizziness, nausea and vomit. The common skin adverse reaction is rash. Long-term use of oxcarbazepine may also cause hyponatremia. This article reviews the literature from China and overseas about the adverse effets of oxcarbazepine over the last 10 years in order to find information about rational clinical use of oxcarbazepine.
