Sustainability and switching of biologics for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis at Fukuoka University Psoriasis Registry

Biologics are efficacious for treating psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), but sometimes must be terminated or changed for various reasons including ineffectiveness or adverse events. To find the optimal choice of biologics for treating psoriasis, we analyzed the real‐world data on drug survival and the reason for terminating or switching biologics. Medical records from patients with PsV or PsA, who visited the Department of Dermatology, Fukuoka University Hospital from 2010 to 2017, were analyzed. Two hundred and eleven patients received biologics, and 147 patients (69.7%) were treated with only one biologic, while 64 patients (30.3%) were switched to different products. Frequently used biologics in PsV were ustekinumab (UST), infliximab and adalimumab when calculated by patient‐year. Tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) use decreased while UST and interleukin (IL)‐17 inhibitors increased in newly introduced patients. UST showed the highest survival rate as a first‐line drug, but the advantage was lost in the second reagent's group. The major reasons for terminating/switching biologics were as follows: primary ineffectiveness (26.4%), secondary loss of efficacy (36.5%), patient's preference, including referral to nearby hospital, or stopped visiting (22.6%), side‐effects (7.7%), comorbidities (3.4%) and economic burden (2.4%). In PsA patients, TNFi are more frequently employed than in PsV patients, although switching to UST or IL‐17 inhibitors showed an increasing trend. Biologic reagents were changed mostly because of primary or secondary loss of efficacy, which affected drug survival. Further research is needed to find the optimal choice of biologics with larger samples at multiple facilities.     

冰片对黄芪甲苷和三七总皂苷配伍有效成分在脑缺血/再灌注模型大鼠脑组织分布的影响

目的探讨冰片是否具有促进黄芪甲苷(AST IV)和三七总皂苷(PNS)配伍时主要有效成分透过大脑中动脉栓塞(MCAO)再灌注模型大鼠血脑屏障的作用。方法大鼠随机分为假手术组、模型组、冰片组、AST IV组、PNS组、AST IV+PNS组、冰片+AST IV+PNS组,制备MCAO再灌注大鼠模型,以液相色谱-质谱联用法(LC-MS/MS)测定大鼠患侧与健侧大脑皮层、小脑中AST IV和PNS有效成分(人参皂苷Rg1、Rb1和三七皂苷R1)的含量。结果 AST IV无论是单用还是与PNS、冰片配伍,其口服后主要分布在大脑皮层,尤其是患侧大脑皮层。冰片+AST IV+PNS能使患侧与健侧大脑皮层中AST IV含量显著增加。PNS单用,其有效成分人参皂苷Rg1、Rb1和三七皂苷R1主要分布在患侧小脑。冰片+AST IV+PNS能使患侧大脑皮层中人参皂苷Rb1含量显著增加,使健侧和患侧大脑皮层中人参皂苷Rg1含量增加,使大脑皮层尤其是患侧大脑皮层及小脑中三七皂苷R1含量增加。结论大鼠脑缺血再灌注后,AST IV与PNS的有效成分人参皂苷Rb1、Rg1及三七皂苷R1在大脑皮层和小脑均有一定的分布。AST IV单用时,AST IV主要分布在大脑皮层;PNS单用时,人参皂苷Rb1、Rg1及三七皂苷R1主要分布在小脑。冰片与AST IV、PNS合用后,能促进AST IV及人参皂苷Rb1、Rg1及三七皂苷R1向大脑皮层富集,尤其是向缺血再灌注侧大脑皮层富集;而且能不同程度地促进AST IV,人参皂苷Rb1、Rg1及三七皂苷R1在大脑皮层的吸收,尤其是在患侧大脑皮层的吸收。     

EMA对药用辅料右旋糖酐新的安全性评价

欧洲药品局（EMA）于2018年11月发布了"人用药品辅料右旋糖酐的包装说明书资料"，该文件引用大量文献全面评价了右旋糖酐的安全性，特别指出含有右旋糖酐辅料的注射和吸入制剂的疫苗与药品，应在说明书中描述有关其过敏反应信息的新要求。介绍该文件的主要内容，期望对我国这类药品说明书的撰写和监管有所帮助。     

我国高血压合理用药文献研究计量学分析

目的 了解我国医院高血压合理用药文献的研究趋势和热点，为提出促进高血压合理用药的相关措施提供参考。方法 检索2010—2017年中国知网数据库、万方数据库、维普数据库收录的高血压合理用药的相关文献，运用书目信息共现分析系统（BICOMB）2.0提取关键词、年份及相应文献量、期刊、作者及机构等参量进行文献计量学分析，并构建高频关键词词篇矩阵；将该词篇矩阵导入SPSS21.0软件进行系统聚类分析；利用图形聚类工具包（gCLUTO）1.0版对词篇矩阵进行词篇共现分析和双聚类可视化分析。结果 从知网、万方、维普三大数据库共检索到高血压合理用药相关文献1 010篇；从年发文量来看，高血压合理用药问题一直是研究热点；从期刊分布来看，高血压合理用药相关文献分布于262种期刊，高血压合理用药问题受到期刊界的广泛关注；从发文作者来看，我国还未形成高血压合理用药研究的核心力量；从单位分布来看，发文机构分散，多数为医院；高频关键词聚焦于“抗高血压药物/降压药、合理用药、高血压、用药分析”等。结论 我国目前对于高血压合理用药的研究多为对单个医院高血压患者用药合理性评价或是对抗高血压药物临床应用的分析，该领域的研究仍需从简单定性分析转向多地区、多层次、大样本的定量分析，以更好地促进高血压合理用药。     

我国血吸虫对吡喹酮抗药性研究之概要

血吸虫病是一种严重危害人类健康、影响社会经济发展的重大传染病,为全球公共卫生负担和危害最严重的被忽视的热带病之一。吡喹酮是20世纪70年代研制出的一种高效、低毒、价廉的广谱抗蠕虫口服药,为世界卫生组织（WHO）推荐的抗血吸虫的首选药物。吡喹酮在血吸虫病流行区现场大规模反复使用已超过40年,血吸虫是否会对吡喹酮产生抗药性引起国际社会极大担忧,为学术界关注的热点科学问题。针对血吸虫病防治中这一重大需求,自1996年起, 在国家科技支撑计划、国家自然科学基金、江苏省自然科学基金等项目基金资助下,我们在血吸虫病流行区现场和实验室,对血吸虫在吡喹酮药物的压力是否会产生抗药性、抗性虫株的生物学特性、抗性的检测、吡喹酮抗性的交叉抗药性及抗药性的预防和控制等科学问题进行较为系统的研究,本文就其研究及其意义作一概述。
