China Pharmacist 2014;(9):1451-1453,1454
Objective:To prepare dexketoprofen enteric-coated pellets and explore the drug release rate respectively in 0. 1 mol· L-1 hydrochloric acid and phosphate buffered saline(PBS,pH 6. 8). Methods:Dexketoprofen enteric-coated pellets were prepared u-sing fluid-bed coating technology, the blank sugar pellets were coated with drug layer, isolation layer and enteric layer in order. Drug-loading rate as the index, the optimal concentrations of HPMC and drug were screened. Such indicators as adhesion, pellet uniform and surface color as the indices, the coating process was optimized by orthogonal experiment. Drug release in PBS of the enteric-coated pel-lets and the common enteric-coated tablets were compared. Results:The prepared pellets showed the properties of uniform drug load-ing, high drug-loading rate, complete round shape and lustrous appearance. The concentration of HPMC and drug was 5% and 15%, respectively. The optimal coating process was as follows:the material temperature was 36℃, the atomization pressure was 1. 0 bar and the airbrush rate was 0. 8 ml·min-1 . The drug release of the pellets in hydrochloric acid was below 10% in 2 hours, while the release in PBS was greater than that of the common enteric-coated tablets. Conclusion: The prepared enteric-coated pellets are feasible in technology, and exhibit satisfactory acid endurance and drug release in vitro.

Objective to investigate the efficacy of moxibustion treatment to rheumatoid arthritis(RA) patients and the impact to blood levels of rheumatoid factor(RF) ,C reactive protein(CRP) ,and interleukin-6(IL-6) .Methods RA patients were divided in-to treatment group and comfort group .The two groups were treated by moxibustion and sham-moxibustion for 2 courses ,respec-tievely .Results Overall clinical efficacy rate was higher in treatment group than in comfort group(P<0 .01) .The arthralgia ,ar-throcele ,tenderness and its degrees ,and morning stiffness time were significant improved in both groups(P<0 .05) ,and the indexes were better in treatment group than comfort group(P<0 .05) .The blood levels of RF ,IL-6 and CRP were reduced after treatment in both groups(P<0 .05) ,and which of treatment group reduced more than those of comfort group(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Moxi-bustion treatment can significantly improve clinical outcomes of RA and markedly reduce the blood levels of RF ,IL-6 and CRP of RA patients .

Objective To systematically review the efficacy of multiple doses and single dose of perioperative dexamethasone on pain and recovery after total knee arthroplasty(TKA).Methods PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,CNKI,WanFang Data,SinoMed and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials(RCTs)on multiple doses and single dose of dexamethasone during perioperative period of TKA from inception of the databases to January 4,2024.Two reviewers independently screened the literature,extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies.Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.4 software.Results A total of 6 studies involving 674 patients were included,336 patients in single dose dexamethasone group and 338 patients in multiple dose dexamethasone group.The results of Meta-analysis showed that compared with single dose of dexamethasone,multiple doses of perioperative dexamethasone could significantly decrease the pain scores at rest at 48 h after TKA(SMD=-0.68,95%CI-1.05 to-0.30,P﹤0.001),the pain scores with movement at postoperative 48 h(SMD=-0.86,95%CI-1.37 to-0.34,P=0.001),C-reactive protein(CRP)levels at postoperative 48 h(MD=-4.43,95%CI-6.70 to-2.16,P﹤0.001)and CRP levels at postoperative 72 h(MD=-3.60,95%CI-5.53 to-1.67,P﹤0.001).There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding pain scores at rest at postoperative 24 h and 72 h,pain scores with movement at postoperative 24 h and 72 h,incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV),CRP levels at postoperative 24 h,length of hospital stay,and incidence of adverse drug reactions(P>0.05).The results of 5 studies showed that multiple doses of dexamethasone did not increase the dosage or patient proportion of remedial analgesics.Conclusion Current evidence shows that compared with single dose of dexamethasone,multiple doses of perioperative dexamethasone can significantly reduce pain scores at postoperative 48 h,CRP levels at postoperative 48 and 72 h after TKA,but it does not significantly reduce the incidence of PONV,hospital stay,or increase the risk of adverse drug reactions.

Objective:To investigate and analyze case reporting ethical review and patient informed consent reports published in the comprehensive journals of clinical medicine in China in 2022.Methods:According to the data from the 2022 Edition of the Chinese Science and Technology Journal of the Citation Reports(Extended Version),the case reports published in comprehensive journals of clinical medicine in 2022 were selected as the research objects.The information on ethics and patient informed consent was extracted from the case reports that met the selection criteria,and Microsoft Excel 2021 and SPSS 21.0 were used to sort out and analyze the data.Results:A total of 587 case reporting articles were published in the 42 included journals in 2022,of which 36(6.13%)reported on science and technology ethics and/or informed consent.Case reports reporting on science and technology ethics and/or informed consent mostly came from the key magazine of China technology(88.89%Vs.65.88%),and the proportion of manuscripts involving science and technology ethics on the official website of the journal was relatively high(86.11%Vs.63.88%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).Conclusion:The proportion of case reports of science and technology ethics and/or informed consent in journals of comprehensive discipline classification of clinical medicine was relatively low.Currently,most international journals are required to obtain the informed consent of patients or legal guardians before publishing case reports.Compared with this,there are still certain gaps in China,which need to be paid great attention to.
