To promote the implementation of individualized pharmaceutical service for lamotrigine by hospital pharmacists,the Working Committee of Pharmacy Innovation Services of Chinese Pharmacists Association authorized the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China to lead a multidisciplinary expert panel. This panel,comprising 63 specialists from diverse fields including pharmacy,medicine,hospital management,and methodology,developed the Expert Consensus on Individualized Pharmaceutical Service for the Antiepileptic Drug Lamotrigine (hereafter referred to as the Consensus). The Consensus was developed using the Delphi questionnaire methodology. Initially,the multi-disciplinary expert panel identified the prevalent issues in the clinical usage of lamotrigine and eatablished the framework. Subsequently,the writing committe conducted comprehensive literature reviews and evidence evaluations to draft the preliminary version based on China's current circumstances,clinical needs,and available research evidence. Finally,the Delphi method was reapplied to collect feedback from interdisciplinary specialists with extensive clinical practice. All opinions were systematically collated,analyzed,incorporated,and addressed through iterative revision until the Consensus was formed. The Consensus comprises 20 clinical recommendations across four key domains: the clinical applications of lamotrigine in epilepsy treatment,the plasma concentration monitoring of lamotrigine,the pharmacogenetic testing of lamotrigine,and individualized medication management of lamotrigine. This Consensus provides reference for hospital pharmacists to carry out individualized pharmaceutical services,including pharmaceutical care,medication recommendations,patient medication education,pharmaceutical follow-up,and home-based pharmaceutical services. It is of great significance for promoting scientific and rational drug use in clinical practice.
Objective To study the therapeutic effect of Baihuang Ganning mixture on mice with cholestatic hepatitis model induced by α-naphthalene isothiocyanate (ANIT),and to explore the mechanism by which Baihuang Ganning mixture improves cholestatic hepatitis. Methods A cholestatic hepatitis model was established in mice by intragastric administration of ANIT (60 mg·kg-1).Sixty mice were randomly divided into six groups (n=10):normal control group,model control group,the ursodeoxycholic acid group,and the high,medium,and low-dose of Baihuang Ganning mixture groups.Parameters including bile flow rate,serum biochemical indices (ALT,AST,T-BiL,D-BiL,ALP and TBA),histopathological changes in liver tissue,hepatic biochemical markers (MDA,NO,Na+-K+-ATPase and SOD),and expression levels of TGF-β1,P-Smad2,and P-Smad3 were evaluated. Results Serum biochemical analysis revealed that,compared to the model control group,the high and medium-dose Baihuang Ganning mixture groups exhibited significant reductions in ALT,AST,T-BiL,D-BiL,ALP,and TBA levels (P<0.01),along with increased bile flow rate (P<0.01).No significant changes were observed in the low-dose group.Histopathological examination demonstrated that high and medium-dose Baihuang Ganning mixture markedly alleviated ANIT-induced bile duct injury,cholestasis,and hepatocyte injury.Compared to the ursodeoxycholic acid group,high and medium-dose Baihuang Ganning mixture significantly reduced hepatic MDA and NO levels,enhanced Na+-K+-ATPase and SOD activities (P<0.01),and downregulated the expression of TGF-β1,P-Smad2,and P-Smad3. Conclusions Baihuang Ganning mixture significantly improved ANIT-induced cholestatic hepatitis in mice. Baihuang Ganning mixture can regulate the metabolism of bile acids,inhibit the proliferation and activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) and the synthesis of collagen,and delay the occurrence of cholestatic hepatitis by inhibiting the expression levels of TGF-β1,P-Smad2 and P-Smad3 proteins.

Objective To mine and analyze signals of acute kidney injury (AKI) related to drugs,comprehensively summarize the potential risk drugs,and provide a reference for clinically safe medication. Methods The AKI reports from January 2004 to September 2023 in the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) were retrieved.Disproportionality methods were used to explore the relationship between drugs and AKI,and demographic information,time to onset,and patient outcomes were analyzed. Results Out of 1 253 drugs,159 were identified as AKI signal drugs.Among these,there were 49 antimicrobial agents (30.82%),including 35 antibiotics and 14 antiviral agents;33 antineoplastic agents (20.75%);and 25 hypotensive agents (15.72%).Drug-related AKI occurred mostly in the elderly,and the male-to-female ratio was 124:100.The median time to onset for AKI related to antibiotics was ≤8 d,with the third quartile ≤21 d.Rivaroxaban and aspirin had higher proportions of death reports,with 33.03% and 31.44% respectively. Conclusions A multitude of drugs pose a risk for acute kidney injury,necessitating caution in their clinical application and the implementation of monitoring of renal function.The elderly are a high-risk group for drug-related AKI,and there are more males than females.For antibiotics,the first 21 days are the key monitoring period.For drugs that require long-term use,regular monitoring is necessary.
Objective To explore and evaluate the adverse drug events(ADE) signals of thromboembolic events induced by cisplatin and carboplatin,and to provide references for clinical safety and rational use of drugs. Methods The cisplatin- and carboplatin-related thromboembolic adverse events reports were collected from the U.S.FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database with the reporting time range from the first quarter of 2004 to the fourth quarter of 2023.Thromboembolic ADR signals were detected using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method,the medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency (MHRA) method,and the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN) method at the SMQ level and preferred term (PT) level. Results A total of 1 959 cisplatin-related thromboembolism events and 2 524 carboplatin-related thromboembolism events were reported.In terms of gender composition,after excluding reports with unspecified gender,the ratio of male to female was 1.69:1 for cisplatin and 0.65:1 for carboplatin.For cisplatin,triple signals were generated at the “thromboembolic events” SMQ level as well as its sub-levels “venous thromboembolic events”,and dual signals were generated at the “arterial thromboembolic events” sub-level.However,for carboplatin,dual signals were generated at the “thromboembolic events” SMQ level,and three signals were generated only at the “venous thromboembolic events” sub-level.The PT hierarchy analysis of thromboembolic events revealed that except for “thrombotic microangiopathy” produced single signal,signals generated by cisplatin were all triple signals,among which “aortic thrombosis” (ROR 95%CI lower limit=72.59,IC-2SD=5.93) exhibited the strongest signal intensity.Different from cisplatin,except for “acute myocardial infarction”,“ischemic stroke”,and “cerebral infarction”,which generated dual signals,“aortic thrombosis”,which generated a single signal,all the other signals produced by carboplatin were triple signals.Additionally,“venous occlusive liver disease” (ROR 95% CI lower limit=11.58,IC-2SD=3.35) displayed the strongest signal intensity.Among various types of thromboembolic events,both cisplatin- and carboplatin-related “pulmonary embolism” and “deep vein thrombosis” were reported the highest number,ranking first and second,respectively. Conclusions In this study,cisplatin and carboplatin were proven to increase the risk of thromboembolic adverse events.Cisplatin was associated with potential risks of “venous thromboembolism” and “arterial thromboembolism”,while carboplatin was associated with “venous thromboembolism”.Therefore,attention should be paid to the above risks during clinical use.
Objective To explore and analyze the adverse drug event (ADE) signals associated with pembrolizumab and to provide a reference for the real-world safety of drug use on elderly patients. Methods ADE reports of pembrolizumab in the general population and elderly population were collected from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) for the period between January 1st,2019,and June 30th,2024.Multiple signal detection methods(ROR,PRR,MHRA) were employed for data mining.Classification and statistical analysis were performed using the System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT) from the MedDRA (Version 27.1) dictionary. Results A total of 966 signals were identified in the general population,spanning 24 SOCs,while 593 signals were detected in the elderly population,spanning 23 SOCs.Comparative visualization analysis of critical PTs under four major SOCs revealed no significant abnormal signals in elderly patients. Conclusion A comprehensive and multidimensional analysis of the ADE data from the FAERS database indicates that pembrolizumab appears to be relatively safe for use in elderly patients.
