ABSTRACT
To clarify the research progress and existing problems in the clinical research on oral Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of breast cancer. National drug catalogs and databases were searched for oral Chinese patent medicines against breast cancer. Chinese and English databases were searched for clinical trials on oral Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of breast cancer. The main functions，drug composition，literature basic characteristics，intervention measures， and outcome indicators of Chinese patent medicines were comprehensively analyzed and evaluated by a scoping review based on visual charts. In 68 Chinese patent medicines included，53% of them were potent in activating blood， resolving stasis， tonifying the kidney， and strengthening the spleen. In terms of frequency， the top drugs were Ligustri Lucidi Fructus， Astragali Radix， Moutan Cortex， Poria， and Olibanum，indicating the importance of the therapeutic principles of activating blood， resolving stasis， tonifying the kidney， and strengthening the spleen for breast cancer treatment. In 161 included clinical trials，70.71% of the intervention measures were Chinese patent medicine combined with chemotherapy. Literature studies mainly reported Xihuang pills and Huaier granules，which may be related to the combination of chemotherapy and the inclusion in the medical insurance. The outcome evaluation was mainly based on immune indexes，tumor markers，Karnofsky score，safety report and objective response rate，while the survival time and characteristic outcome indicators of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） were insufficient. The application and research on oral Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of breast cancer have advanced in recent years，but most of the clinical research evidence is not robust，and the evaluation of outcome indicators is not standardized，which needs to be improved.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To perfect China's pediatric knowledge database of rational medication use, to reduce the incidence of medication errors and to improve the safety and effectiveness of medication therapy in children. METHODS: Construct the pediatric prescription knowledge database by accessing relevant handbooks, guidelines, online databases and researches, and embed it into the prescription pre-audit intelligent decision system. Based on this, the system could automatically recommend dosage and usage information to the physicians during prescribing, it could also pre-screen and intercept improper medical orders and prescriptions according to different security levels. RESULTS: From November 2018 to April 2019, the prescription Pre-audit Intelligent Decision System reviewed a total of 906,945 inpatients orders. Due to the use of the Pediatric Prescription Knowledge Database, the inpatients' precaution, relative contraindication and absolute contraindications orders presented a remarkably decline, from 71.71%, 5.45% and 0.12% respectively, to 35.86%, 3.51% and 0.08%. The physician's fitness to the system and rationality of medication increased month by month. CONCLUSION: The use of the Pediatric Prescription Knowledge Database significantly reduces the incidence of medication errors in hospitalized children and improves the level of medical homogenization. It is a medical service model worthy of consideration.

The consumption sums of Chinese patent medicine of 2015, 2016 and 2017 increased by 4.47％, -3.68％ and-7.71％, respectively. The proportions of consumption sum of Chinese patent medicine in all medicines were 13.63％ in 2014, 13.36％ in 2015, 12.83％ in 2016 and 12.44％ in 2017. Of all the dosage forms of Chinese patent medicine, capsule (32.67％), injection (25.21％) and tablet (14.71％) ranked the top 3 on the list of consumption sum. Of all the single kinds of Chinese patent medicine, blood rationing medicine, heat-clearing medicine and tonifying medicine ranked the top 3 on the list of consumption sum. The blood rationing medicine, gynecologic medicine and tonifying medicine ranked the top 3 on the list of DDDs. The first varieties of single item of consumption sum were salvianolate injection, Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid and Xueshuantong Injection (freeze-dried). The first varieties of single items of DDDs were Yinxing Tongzhi Dispersible Tablet and Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid. Conclusion The use of Chinese patent medicine in our hospital is becoming more reasonable, and the role and advantages in the prevention and control of diseases are constantly emerging. However, there are still problems about irrational medication, which need to be further strengthened.
ABSTRACT
TCM incompatibility means that the combinations of some Chinese materia medica would produce or enhance side effects, or even reduce or damage medicine efficacy. Therefore, clinical incompatibility should be avoided. The core idea of TCM incompatibility is "Eighteen Clashes" and "Nineteen Incompatibilities". China Pharmacopoeia clearly states that "Eighteen Clashes" and "Nineteen Incompatibilities" belong to incompatibility. This article summarized the incompatibility in TCM patent medicine used in Guang'anmen Hospital of Chinese Medicine Academy of Sciences, with a purpose to provide references for clinical doctors and pharmacists.
