OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy and toxicity of the chemotherapeutic regimen containing pirarubicin and mitoxantrone on the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adults.
METHODSIn this open prospective multicentre study, we randomly assigned patients with relapsed or refractory AML to receive TAE regimen (pirarubicin+cytarabine+etoposide) versus MAE regimen (mitoxantrone + cytarabine + etoposide). The efficacy and toxicity were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS56 patients entered this clinical trial. The complete remission (CR) rate on TAE arm was 79.0% versus 55.6% on MAE arm with the overall response (OR) rates of 86.8% versus 88.9%, respectively. The CR was higher on TAE arm (P=0.035) but with no significant difference between the two groups regarding the overall response (OR) rate. The regimens were well tolerated in both groups. Hematologic and non-hematologic toxicity were similar except relatively lower the mean dosage of G-CSF, red blood cells and platelets transfusion on TAE arm. No significant differences were seen between the two groups regarding the overall survival and relapse free survival rates.
CONCLUSIONTAE regimen might be an effective salvage therapy in patients with relapsed or refractory AML.

Based on the current laws and regulations framework of China, combined with practical cases, this paper systematically and comprehensively analyzes the supervision attributes, clinical trial supervision model and existing problems of tumor neoantigen vaccine, aiming to provide reference for the construction of the supervision system of clinical trial of tumor neoantigen vaccine in China. The results showed that, at present, the clinical trials of tumor neoantigen vaccine in China adopt a dual-track supervision model: clinical trials initiated by pharmaceutical enterprises and clinical trials initiated by researchers. This supervision model lags behind the development speed of the industry, mainly in the following aspects: challenges brought by dual- track supervision; the clinical trial data initiated by researchers are not effectively connected with new drug research applications; the guiding principles of clinical trial supervision need to be improved. Relevant medical institutions, regulatory authorities and cooperative enterprises can help the development of the regulatory system for clinical trials of tumor neoantigen vaccine in China from the above aspects.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the methodological quality of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment guidelines/consensus of constipation with Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation Ⅱ (AGREE Ⅱ)tool, and to study the attention situation of the included Chinese patent medicines in China's National Reimbursement Drug List in the guidelines/consensus. MethodThe data of CNKI,VIP,Wanfang Data,SinoMed,PubMed and Cochrane from the inception of the databases to October 2021 were searched to collect the TCM diagnosis and treatment guidelines/consensus of constipation. Then,the diagnosis and treatment standards and recommended Chinese patent medicines were extracted. Two researchers assessed the methodological quality of the guidelines/consensus with AGREE Ⅱ tool independently. The quality of reports was evaluated by Reporting Items for practice Guidelines in HealThcare (RIGHT) Statement. The recommended Chinese patent medicines in the guidelines/consensus were compared with those in the National Reimbursement Drug List. ResultEleven consensus and 2 guidelines were included,involving 794 experts. The scores of AGREE II were clarity of presentation(59.0%),scope and purpose(44.0%),stakeholder involvement(23.1%),rigor of development (12.1%),applicability (11.1%),and editorial independence (8.3%) from high to low. Five articles were recommended at B level(recommended after revision) and 8 articles were at C level (not recommended). The average scores of RIGHT Statement were as follows:basic information (93.59%),background (57.69%),evidence (18.46%),recommendations (20.88%),review and quality assurance (19.23%),funding,declaration and management of interests (0.00%), and other information (0.00%). The included guidelines/consensus recommended a total of 27 Chinese patent medicines,among which 20 were included in the National Reimbursement Drug List,with 4 species of Class A and 16 species of Class B, accounting for 74.1% of all recommended Chinese patent medicines. Ten purgative Chinese patent medicines in the National Reimbursement Drug List were recommended by the guidelines/consensus,accounting for 50% of all purgative drugs, and 8 were not recommended. There were prescriptions for purgation, for promoting digestion and removing food stagnation, for clearing heat and purging fire,and for warming the middle and dissipating cold,Tibetan medicine and Mongolian medicine. ConclusionBy the AGREE Ⅱ assessment,the methodological quality of the TCM diagnosis and treatment guidelines/consensus of constipation included in this study needed to be improved in the future. The report quality evaluated with RIGHT Statement was low. Most drugs included in the National Reimbursement Drug List were paid attention in the TCM diagnosis and treatment guidelines/consensus of constipation. Moreover,the drugs included in the National Reimbursement Drug List could basically fulfill the clinical needs reflexed from the guidelines/consensus recommendations. However, the reasons of some drugs failing to be included in the National Reimbursement Drug List needed to be studied in the future.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic intestinal disease with painful clinical manifestations and high risks of cancerization. With no curative therapy for IBD at present, the development of effective therapeutics is highly advocated. Drug delivery systems have been extensively studied to transmit therapeutics to inflamed colon sites through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect caused by the inflammation. However, the drug still could not achieve effective concentration value that merely utilized on EPR effect and display better therapeutic efficacy in the inflamed region because of nontargeted drug release. Substantial researches have shown that some specific receptors and cell adhesion molecules highly expresses on the surface of colonic endothelial and/or immune cells when IBD occurs, ligand-modified drug delivery systems targeting such receptors and cell adhesion molecules can specifically deliver drug into inflamed sites and obtain great curative effects. This review introduces the overexpressed receptors and cell adhesion molecules in inflamed colon sites and retrospects the drug delivery systems functionalized by related ligands. Finally, challenges and future directions in this field are presented to advance the development of the receptor-mediated targeted drug delivery systems for the therapy of IBD.
