保罗青光眼植入物治疗青光眼的初步观察

目的：初步评估保罗青光眼植入物在青光眼治疗中的有效性和安全性。

方法：回顾性分析2022-03/2023-01接受保罗青光眼植入物治疗的青光眼患者10例10眼的临床资料。至少随访12 mo,观察手术前后视力、眼压和抗青光眼用药数量等指标的变化。

结果：纳入患者末次随访时视力较术前无明显变化; 术前眼压19-60(中位数28)mmHg,末次随访时眼压为10-18(中位数14)mmHg。术前所有患者均需使用2-4种抗青光眼药物,末次随访时仅1例患者需使用。4例患者末次随访时角膜内皮细胞密度较术前明显下降,未发生角膜相关并发症。截至末次随访,10例患者均获得手术成功。

结论：保罗青光眼植入物具有显著的降眼压疗效,角膜内皮细胞损害可能是其存在的隐患。     

Safety Profile of Ixazomib in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma in Japan: An All-case Post-marketing Surveillance

Objective To evaluate the safety profile of ixazomib combined with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in clinical practice in Japan through an all-case post-marketing surveillance. Methods This was a nationwide non-interventional observational study conducted in Japan. The study included all patients who received ixazomib from May 24 to September 24, 2017. Ixazomib was administered to RRMM patients according to the Japanese package insert. All enrolled patients were observed until the completion of the sixth treatment cycle or until ixazomib discontinuation. The patient treatment course, including adverse events (AEs), was reported. Results The safety analysis set included 741 patients; the median age was 71 (range 35-92) years old, and the median number of prior treatment lines was 3 (range 1-30). Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occurred in 572 (77.2%) patients, most commonly being thrombocytopenia (49.9%), diarrhea (29.2%), and nausea (12.4%). Serious ADRs occurred in 193 (26.0%) patients, most commonly being thrombocytopenia (9.9%) and diarrhea (5.9%). Thrombocytopenia, severe gastrointestinal disorders, infections, skin disorders, and peripheral neuropathy were prespecified as ADRs of clinical importance; the frequency of these ADRs (grade ≥3) were 28.5%, 9.4%, 7.4%, 2.2%, and 1.3%, respectively. Treatment discontinuation was most common with thrombocytopenia and severe gastrointestinal disorders (49 and 43 patients, respectively). Eleven patients died due to ADRs (16 events). Conclusion These results suggest that ixazomib has a tolerable safety profile in clinical practice in Japan. However, close AE management for thrombocytopenia and gastrointestinal disorders should be considered.     

The Second Wave of COVID-19: Clinical Pharmacy Services During a Field Hospital Operation

The second wave of COVID-19 emerged in the late fall months in the state of Massachusetts and inadvertently caused a rise in the number of cases requiring hospitalization. With a field hospital previously opened in central Massachusetts during the Spring of 2020, the governor decided to reimplement the field hospital. Although operations were effectively accomplished during the first wave, the reimplementation of the field hospital came with its new set of challenges for operating a satellite pharmacy. Experiences gathered include new pharmacy operation workflows, the clinical role of pharmacy services, introduction of remdesivir treatment, and pharmacy involvement in newly diagnosed diabetes patients requiring insulin teaching. Pharmacy services were successful in adapting to the rapidly growing number in patients with a total of over 600 patients served in a course of 2 months.     

Clinical Effects of the Immunization Protocol Using Loxosceles Venom in Naïve Horses

Bites of brown spiders (Loxosceles spp.) are responsible for dermonecrotic lesions and potentially systemic envenoming that can lead to death. The only effective therapy is the use of the antivenom, usually produced in horses. However, little is known about the consequences of the systematic use of the Loxosceles venom and adjuvants and of the bleedings on antivenom-producing horses. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical changes in horses in their first immunization protocol for Loxosceles antivenom production. Eleven healthy horses, never immunized, were evaluated in three different periods: T0 (before immunization); T1 (after their first venom immunization); and T2 (after their first bleeding). Horses were clinically evaluated, sampled for blood, and underwent electrocardiographic (ECG) recordings. Several suppurated subcutaneous abscesses occurred due to the use of Freund’s adjuvants and thrombophlebitis due to systematic venipunctures for the bleeding procedures. ECG showed arrhythmias in few horses in T2, such as an increase in T and R waves. In summary, the immunization protocol impacted on horses’ health, especially after bleeding for antivenom procurement.

基于"欧盟草药专论"解析中药欧盟注册关键问题

欧盟2004/24/EC法令针对传统草药药品实行简化注册程序,很大程度降低了草药药品上市门槛,但法令为其额外设定的注册条件,如草药在欧盟至少药用15年历史要求、适应症限制、给药途径限制等,对非欧洲本土来源的中药产品而言仍面临诸多挑战.鉴于"欧盟草药专论"的评价与草药药品简化注册中安全性和有效性的审评标准基本一致,首次从欧盟草药专论的角度,跟踪欧盟草药专论最新评价进展,对影响欧盟草药专论建立的关键因素以及中药产品简化注册过程中的关键问题进行深入分析,并提出建议与对策,以期为中药产品欧盟注册提供一定指导和参考.
