The aim of the study is to compare the sensitivity and specificity of plasma aldosterone concentration ( PAC)/PRA (ARR) and PAC/PRC (AARR) in screening primary aldosteronism ( PA ) in hypertensive patients and to observe the influence of different postures on PRC and AARR. Method ( 1 ) PAC and PRC in the supine position and after 1-hour and 2-hour upright posture were determined in 28 patients with PA and 51 patients with essential hypertension. The diagnostic efficacies during different postures were compared according to the ROC curve analysis. (2) 31 patients with PA, 242 patients with essential hypertension, and 145 normotensitive subjects were recruited in the study. The diagnostic efficacy of AARR in screening PA from hypertensive patients was evaluate. PAC, PRA, and PRC were measured by radioimmunoassay. Results ( 1 ) The AUC of AARR in the supine position, 1-hour and 2-hour upright posture were0.950 (95% CI0.906-0.994, P<0. 01), 0.979 (95% CI0.956-1.000, P<0.01) and 0.917 (95% CI 0. 856-0. 979, P<0. 01 ) respectively. AARR of 1 -hour upright yielded the highest screening efficiency. ( 2 ) The correlation coefficient index of Log-PRA and Log-PRC was 0. 705 ( P< 0. 01, n = 418 ), whereas the correlation coefficient index of Log-ARR and Log-AARR was 0.705 (P<0.01, n=418). The AUC of ARR and AARR were 0.998 (95% CI0. 981-1. 000, P<0.01 ) and 0.957 (95% CI0. 929-0.985, P<0.01 ) respectively according to the ROC curve. The optimal cutoff of AARR during upright 1 hour was 42.36 ng · dl-1/ng ·dl-1 ( sensitivity 87.10%, specificity 93.75% ). Conclusion The screening efficacy of AARR in screening PA in hypertensive patients was comparable with ARR. AARR measured after keeping upright 1 hour yielded the highest screening efficiency. The optimal cutoff of AARR was 42.36 ng · dl-1/ng ·dl-1.

Objective To explore the effect of dihydromyricetin (DMY) on the cholesterol efflux in macrophage derived foam cells and analyze the possible mechanisms. Methods RAW 264.7 macrophages were incubated by oxidized low densi?ty lipoprotein (ox-LDL, 50 mg/L) for 48 h to induce foam cells. Subsequently, the foam cells were subdivided into control group (RPMI1640 media) and DMY 1-4 groups (10, 20, 40 and 80μmol/L) and cultured for 24 h. Cholesterol efflux from foam cells was examined by [3H] labed cholesterol. The high performance liquid chromatography assay was used to test the cellular contents of free cholesterol (FC), cholesteryl ester (CE) and total cholesterol (TC). The expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) was measured by Western blot assay. Results Compared with control group, cholesterol efflux was significantly increased, the content of FC, TC CE and CE/TC ratio were significantly decreased and expression of ABCA1 was significantly up-regulated in dose dependent manner in DMY (20, 40 and 80μmol/L) groups (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in cholesterol efflux, the content of FC, TC and CE, and expression of ABCA 1 between control group and DMY (10μmol/L) group of foam cells (P>0.05). Conclusion DMY promotes the cholesterol efflux in the macro?phage derived foam cells, which may be related with the increase of ABCA1 induced by DMY.

Objective: To investigate the effect of clopidogrel on antiplatelet therapy in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) combining chronic kidney disease (CKD) in order to provide a medication reference in clinical practice. Methods: We retrospectively investigated 423 CAD patients with coronary angiography (CAG) conifrmed diagnosis in our hospital from 2014-01 to 2014-09. According to the value of eGFR, the patients were classiifed into 2 groups:CAD+ CKD- group,n=257 patients with eGFR ≥ 90 ml/(min?1.73 m2), including 182 male and 75 female at the mean age of (60.39 ± 11.09) years, and CAD+CKD+ group,n=166 patients with eGFR < 90 ml/(min?1.73 m2), including 107 male and 59 female at the mean age of (65.80 ± 10.84) years. The patients were treated either by aspirin 0.1 g/d with clopidogrel 75 mg/d for at least 7 days, or by PCI operation with the load of aspirin 0.3g and clopidogrel 300 mg. The thrombelastography was conducted to examine and compare the inhibitory rates of ADP receptor and arachidonic acid (AA) pathway in platelet between 2 groups. Results: The inhibitory rate of platelet ADP receptor in CAD+CKD- group (64.9 ± 27.2) % was higher than that in CAD+CKD+ group (56.6 ± 27.4) %,P=0.039. Based on clinical standard of platelet’s ADP and AA inhibitory rates, in CAD+CKD- group, there were 24/257 (9.4%) of patients only insensitive to clopidogrel, in comparison with 25 (9.7%) of patients only insensitive to aspirin,P=0.99. While in CAD+CKD+ group, there were 21/166 (12.7%) of patients only insensitive to clopidogrel, in comparison with 11 (6.6%) of patients only insensitive to aspirin,P= 0.045. Conclusion: Clopidogrel has decreased effect on anti-platelet therapy in CAD patients combining with CKD, such patients have reduced sensitivity to relevant medication.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the regulatory strategy of drug-led drug device combination products, comparing and analyzing the definition, scope and management mode of drug device combination products in the United States, the European Union, Japan, Canada and China; summarizing and analyzing the types of combination products in the Product-specific Guidances for Generic Drug Development(PSGs) of the US FDA's scientific and technical reports in the past five years, the results show that the top three PSGs newly added to the FDA were transdermal system, nasal sprays, and single-dose prefilled syringes/pens(including auto-injectors).
As of March 1, 2023, the National Medical Products Administration(NMPA) had cumulatively announced the results of 339 combination products applied for attribute definition by enterprises, of which 88 were "drug-led drug device combination products", accounting for 26%; and 78 were "device-led drug device combination products", accounting for 23%; the results of "not belonging to drug device combination products" accounted for more than half (51.0%), which indicated that there was a big difference between the industry and the regulatory understanding of the definition of drug-device combination products, and that the existing guideline and documents were unable to provide clear and predictable positioning of the combination products under research and development for the time being.
This paper also puts forward suggestions for solving the problems in the development of drug-device combination products in China, in order to improve the consistency, predictability and transparency of the classification and definition of drug-device combination products in China, and to provide references for the development and scientific supervision of this kind of products.
