RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To investigate and analyze the use of TCM national essential medicines in our hospital, so as to provide reference for clinical rational use. METHODS: The variety number, consumption sum and constituent ratio, defined daily dose system(DDDs), defined daily cost(DDC)and drug use distribution in departments of TCM national essential medicines in our hospital were statistic analyzed during 2013-2015. RESULTS: The variety number of TCM national essential medicines were relatively stable in our hospital, but the consumption sum and proportion showed a downward trend year by year. The consumption sum and DDDs of essential medicines changed less during 3 years, and the drug with large sales amount were relatively fixed, which showed that the clinical selection of essential medicines were relatively centralized, and the category and DDDs continuity of essential medicines was fairly good. The concentration ratio of TCM essential drug use were lower in clinical departments, and the consumption sum ratio were lower in TCM department. CONCLUSION: We must pay more attention to the rational use of essential medicines, and formulate relevant policies and measures to encourage clinical use essential medicines preferentially.
RESUMEN
Xi-Xin, a commonly used traditional Chinese herbal medicine, was regarded as one of the top grade materia medica since ancient time. The main medical parts were the root and stem. TheChinese Pharmacopeiaregulated the types ofAsarum heterotropoidesvar. mandshuricum,A. sieboldiivar. seoulense, andA. sieboldii. Analysis onXi-Xin related invention and patent information was an important aspect to understand the patent application condition and development tendency. It will also promote the research, development and industrialization of this medicine and promote its scientific result transformation. The Kongfz Patent Search Engine was used in the patent searching. Python and R languages were used in the collection, screening, classification, statistics, digging and analysis. In-depth analysis was made on the domesticXi-Xin related medical invention, patent application condition and development tendency. It provided references for the development ofXi-Xin. The results showed that an ever-increasing number of patents onXi-Xin were available. TheXi-Xin related inventions and patent applications were mainly from China, Republic of Korea, Japan, Russia, the U.S.A., etc. The main clinical applications were common cold, cough, headache, rheumatism and arthralgia, antibiosis, antiphlogosis, and cardiovascular diseases.Xi-Xin was mostly combined with herbal medicine with the effects of invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, relieving exterior syndrome, and tonifying deficiency.
