Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ziprasidone mesylate injection on the acute agitation symptom in mental retardation. Methods The total of 80 patients of mental retardation with acute agitation symptoms were randomly divided into two groups:the treatment group (40 patients) were intra-muscarly given with ziprasidone mesylate injection at the initial dose of 10 mg, 20 mg 4 h later, and 30 mg once on the second day and third day. And the control group (40 patients) were treated with haloperidol injection. The volume dose of haloperidol was 20 mg everyday. Other antipsychotic drugs, antimanic drugs and benzodiazepines were not allowed to be used during the observation, neither does the prophylactic use of drugs against parkinson's disease. Before and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 h after treatment, the positive and negative scale ( PANSS) reduction rate, the end of the clinical global impression scale ( CGI) were assessed. By the end of the treatment, the adverse reactions symptom, cale ( TESS) was assessed for the safety. Results By the end of treatment PANSS reduction rate was 46. 31% in the test group and 48. 81% in the control group, the clinical improvement rate was 80. 00% in the treatment group and 82. 50% in the control group. No statistically significant difference on efficacy was found between two groups. The side reaction rate in the treatment group was 27. 5%, that in the control group was 40. 0%, there was significant difference ( P<0. 05) between two groups, but the extrapyramidal reaction in the control group was significantly more than that in the treatment group(P<0. 05). Conclusion Ziprasidone mesylate injection is effective on treating the symptoms of mental retardation, in corresponding to the effect of haloperidol injection,and with less extrapyramidal reactions.

ObjectiveTo explore the listed varieties and prescription characteristics of Chinese patent medicines for stroke in China, explore the medication rules of Chinese medicine for stroke, and provide guidance for further clinical research and development of Chinese patent medicines. MethodsExcel 2021 and the Ancient and Modern Medical Record Cloud Platform (V2.3.5) were used to systematically mine and analyze the varieties and prescriptions of Chinese patent medicines for stroke in China. ResultsA total of 244 Chinese patent medicines (two for different dosage forms of the same prescription), 1 736 approval documents for Chinese patent medicines, 792 manufacturers, and 83 varieties of protected Chinese patent medicines were finally included in the database. The top three dosage forms were capsules (75), pills (53), and tablets (42). There were 28 Chinese patent medicines for stroke in the National Essential Drug Catalogue (2018), 129 in the National Essential Medical Insurance, Industrial Injury Insurance and Maternity Insurance Drug Catalogue (2023), and 4 in the National Non-prescription Drug Catalogue. Among the 138 prescriptions screened out, Chinese patent medicines mainly treated stroke patients with the syndrome of Qi deficiency and blood stasis. The top three most frequent medicinal herbs were Chuanxiong Rhizoma (63), Pheretima (47), and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (47). The medicinal herbs used were mainly warm, pungent, with the meridian tropism to the liver meridian. The correlation analysis showed that the herb pair with the highest support was Astragali Radix-Chuanxiong Rhizoma, and that with the highest confidence was Carthami Flos-Chuanxiong Rhizoma. Five herb combinations were identified based on the cluster analysis. ConclusionThe Chinese patent medicines for stroke mainly treat patients with the syndrome of Qi deficiency and blood stasis. The medicinal herbs used in the prescriptions mainly have the functions of activating blood and resolving stasis, extinguishing wind and stopping convulsions. Drug compatibility usually focuses on activating blood and resolving stasis, as well as expelling phlegm and opening orifices. This review of the varieties and prescription characteristics of Chinese patent medicines for stroke helps optimize clinical decision-making, guide drug research and development, promote medical research and scientific progress, and provide more effective support and guarantee for the treatment of stroke patients.

Pharmacoeconomic evaluation is the essential supporting information for the inclusion of rare disease drugs into medical insurance in China. The accurate measurement of the health state utility of rare diseas is of practical significance to the development of rare disease pharmacoeconomic evaluation. Based on the review of pharmacoeconomic evaluation requirements for rare diseases in some countries/regions, we systematically retrieved the published studies on the measurement of health state utility for 121 rare diseases in China and other countries and regions. We identified 17 591 papers in the initial review, and later selected 230 after screening. We also made a comprehensive analysis of the quality of literature, evaluation content and use of tools for measuring health state utility in rare diseases in China. Finally, we analyzed the challenges in measurement in terms of population, instruments use, and application of results and made recommendations based on analysis, hoping to provide reference for the development of rare disease health state utility measurement studies in China.

【Objective】 To perform pre-transfusion examination and major crossmatch test using CD47 anti-idiotypic antibody (CD47 AID) (method 1) and reagent lack of anti-IgG4 anti-human globulin(method 2) in patients treated with CD47 monoclonal antibodies, and evaluate the feasibility of method 1 by comparing the transfusion efficacy of patients after cross matching with two methods. 【Methods】 Post-drug samples were collected from 18 clinical subjects treated with CD47 monoclonal antibody in our hospital. Antibody screening and major crossmatch test were performed using method 1 and method 2, and the difference of ΔHb (post-transfusion Hb minus pre-transfusion Hb) was compared after transfusion. The differences in ΔHb after transfusion were analyzed between the test group using method 1 and the control group without CD47 monoclonal antibody using ordinary microcolumn gel method. 【Results】 There was no significant difference in ΔHb between the test group using method 1 and test group using method 2 (8.40±0.71 vs 7.36±0.94, P>0.05). No significant difference was noticed in ΔHb between the test group using method 1 and the control group without CD47 monoclonal antibody (8.40±0.71 vs 6.59±0.77, P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 In the test group, major crossmatch test with method 1 has the same transfusion efficacy as the test with method 2. Method 1 is simple and easy to operate, and the results are objective and accurate. It is recommended to use method 1 for pre-transfusion antibody screening and major crossmatch tests for patients using CD47 monoclonal antibody.
