Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tanreqing injection to children bronchial pneumonia.Methods PubMed,Ovid,CNKI,and data retrieval system of all places were searched to identify relevant studies from 2003 to November of 2014.The final documents were examined with inclusive and exclusive criteria.Results were pooled with meta-analysis on RevMan software to assess the efficacy of tanreqing injection to children bronchial pneumonia.Results The database was derived from 13 qualified studies that included a total of 1479 patients.Meta analysis showed that,compared to the control group,tanreqing injection treatment group resulted in higher effective rate [OR =2.96,95％ CI (2.22,3.96),P ＜0.01],shorter time of recovering the normal temperature [MD----0.53,95％ CI (-0.77,-0.29),P ＜ 0.01],shorter time of disappearance of cough [MD =-1.25,95％ CI (-2.14,-0.37),P ＜0.01],shorter time of lungrale [MD=-1.00,95％ CI(-1.4,-0.6),P ＜0.01],and shorter time of hospitalization time [MD =-1.35,95％ CI (-1.83,-0.86),P ＜ 0.01].Significant difference was observed between control and treatment groups.Conclusions This study showed that tanreqing injection appeared to be more effective for children bronchial pneumonia.However,methodology showed low quality.The efficacy needs high-quality clinical trials to verify.

OBJECTIVE:To provide a reference for rational clinical application of Reduning injection. METHODS:The rele-vant information about the patients who sought treatment in our hospital in 2014 and used reduning injection were collected to make statistical analysis to the age,dosage,course of treatment,frequencies,etc. RESULTS:Among the above-mentioned patients,the number of males was more than that of females,children under 10 years old accounted for 36.10%,47.54%of patients received re-duning injection for a treatment course of over five days,and 14.99% of patients failed to wash the infusion tube before injection. CONCLUSIONS:Irrational clinical application of reduning injection exists. The administration and dosage should be standardized and the dosage for children under three years old as specified in the label be detailed to reduce and avoid the occurrence of adverse drug reaction so as to ensure the safety of drug use by patients.

Vulnerable research participants participating in clinical trials pose certain ethical challenges,and they require special attention from researchers,ethics committees,and management departments.Taking a deaf-mute and illiterate research participants participating in a clinical trial of breast cancer as an example,this paper discussed the ethical considerations regarding the research participants's insufficient capacity for informed consent,as well as the measures taken to ensure their compliance in the clinical trial,further provided ideas for dealing with this type of ethical issues.During the implementation of clinical trials,researchers should assess the level of informed consent ability of research participants,implement the research participants'rights to know and choose,and perform informed consent in a standardized manner.For research participants whose vulnerable factors make it difficult for them to give informed consent,they should not be excessively excluded from the research.Instead,targeted safeguards should be taken to promote the efficient implementation of clinical trials on the premise of complying with various ethical principles.
