OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for definition and research & development of new drugs in China.METHODS:The history of the definition for new drugs was reviewed,and the effects of the definition of new drugs on the research and development of drugs were discussed by using the game theory "Tragedy of the Commons" and "Anti-Tragedy of the Commons".RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The definition of new drugs should be more and more scientific and reasonable and in line with the aim of building new creative country,meanwhile,efforts should be paid to avoid the above mentioned two kinds of tragedies.

Corticosteroid-induced glaucoma (CIG) is a form of open angle glaucoma associated with both topical and systemic administration of corticosteroids. Here we described the clinical findings in a patient with severe glaucoma and posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC) after topical administration of corticosteroid eye drops. We concluded corticosteroid eye drop was an effective medicine for inflammation of the eyes; however,prolonged use could cause severe vision loss as a result of intractable corticosteroid-induced glaucoma and cataract.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with clustered electrodes in the treatment of unresectable large primary liver cancer. Methods Under the guidance of ultrasonography, Percutaneous and intraoperative RFA was performed in 38 patients and 5 patients,respectively. Additional ablation could be conducted if residual tumor or recurrence was found after the primary treatment. Results A total of 62 times of RFA, with a mean of 6 foci every treatment, were completed in the 43 patients, in whom the mean diameter of tumor was 7 3 cm. AFP levels had decreased to normal in 18/32 patients (56 3%) whose preoperative AFP levels were above 400 ?g/L. Postoperative CT examinations indicated that the tumor was completely ablated in 33/43 patients (76 7%). Frequent complications included fever, local pain, and liver impairment. No severe complications or treatment-related deaths were seen. The 1-year survival rate was 79 3% (23/29). Conclusions RFA with clustered electrodes in the treatment of unresectable large liver cancer can produce extensive coagulation necrosis of tumor, being a safe and effective therapeutic method. It is breaking fresh ground in the management of unresectable large

To study the value of the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with B ultrasonographic located radiofrequency ablation(RFA).Methods: The radiofrequency multielectrodes were inserted into the hepatic carcinoma with B ultrasonographic locating.RFA was applied with the power from 50W up to 90W. RFA scope was 1cm out of the margin of the tumor mass in three dimension. After RFA treatment, the AFP level changes and the B ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), biopsy of the liver and hepato arterioangiography were observed.Results: One month after RFA treatment ,in those with abnormal AFP level AFP falled to normal in 18/20 patients, the volume of the tumor mass were enlarged in 9 patients, not changed in 8 patients and decreased in the others at CT and/or ultrasonography. The alive cancer cells in the margin of the tumor mass were found in 1/6 patients at biopsy. The scattering bloodstream in the carcinoma was showed in 1/8 patients on hepato arteriography. After three months, the volume of the tumor was remarkably decreased in 25 patients.Conclusion: The results suggests that RFA appears to ablate hepatic carcinoma effectively as suitable method mastered.

Objective:To improve the safety,rationality and efficacy of medication for ovarian cancer patients complicated with cirrhosis by the participation of clinical pharmacists in the therapy. Methods:Clinical pharmacists participated in the therapy for an ovarian cancer patient with cirrhosis,and provided a rational and individualized therapeutic regimen through the drug experience of clinical pharmacists as well as the relevant medical guides and literatures. Results:The therapeutic efficacy was increased by the participation of clinical pharmacists in the therapy,the potential risk of the chemotherapy was avoided and the security of medication was assured. Conclusion:The participation of clinical pharmacists in therapeutic practice can improve the normalization of pharmacotherapy for ovarian cancer patients with cirrhosis,which also can provide ideas and methods for treating the similar patients.

Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of gabapentin in treatment of refractory uremic pruritus in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD)patients. Methods A randomized controlled trial was performed.Forty-nine MHD patients with severe pruritus were randomly divided into treatment group(gabapentin 100-300 mg at dialysis day before sleep)and the control group(loratadine 10 mg daily).The efficacy was assessed by visual analogue score,pruritus score and improved Duo's VAG Score after 12-week treatment,and the side effect was also observed to assess the safety. Results After treatment,the frequency,degree and area of pruritus in 25 patients of treatment group were significantly reduced,and VAS score(1.46±1.38vs 8.71±1.17,P＜0.01),VAG score(2.92±1.63 vs 8.29±0.68,P＜0.01)and the improved Duo's pruritus score(11.33±3.99 vs 30.75±4.87,P＜0.01)decreased significantly compared with that of prior treatment.The symptoms of 24 patients in control group were improved partly,which were not as good as those in treatment group(P＜0.01).The side effects of gabapentin were drowsiness and dizziness,but most symptoms were relieved or disappeared within 1 week and no patient interrupted therapy.No serious adverse events were observed. Conclusion Gabapentin is safe and effective for refractory uremic pruritus,but long-term efficacy and safety requires larger sample and long-term observation.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and diagnosis of Epstein-Barr(EB) virus encephalitis(EBE) in children. Methods The verification of EBE was based on detection of EBV DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by fluorogenic quantitative PCR(FQ-PCR) and Nest-PCR. The clinical and CSF changes of 27 EBE cases and 26 controls were analyzed and compared. Results EB-DNA in CSF by FQ-PCR of 13 cases of EBE was (2.82?2.03)?10 3copies.There was no significant difference in clinical manifestations between EBE and HSE groups, except that WBC in CSF of EBE was lower than those of HSE.Conclusions EBE is not infrequent, about 10 % of encephalitis in children. EBE is always present independently, which is not a complication of infectious mononucleosis(IM).Detection of EBV-DNA in CSF is a sensitive and specific test for diagnosing of EBE. Early treatment may be beneficial to the prognosis of EBE.

Objective To investigate the value of Doppler ultrasound in the eady diagnosis,monitoring and assessing of renal damage in neonatal asphyxia.Methods A total of 60 cases of neonates within 24 h were divided into severe asphyxia group (Apgar score 0-3),mild asphyxia group (Apgar score 4-7) and healthy control group (Apgar score 8-10) according to Apgar score at 1 min after born.Then the peak systolic velocity (PSV),end diastolic velocity (EDV) and resistance index (RI) of renal artery were obtained by Doppler ultrasound within 24 h,on day 3,day 7,and day 10.The level of serum cystain C (sCysC) was also recorded accordingly.Results Within 24 h,compared with healthy control group,the PSV and EDV in severe asphyxia group and mild asphyxia group decreased (all P＜0.05),while RI increased (all P＜0.05).The PSV in mild asphyxia group returned to normal in 3 days,EDV and RI returned to normal in 10 days,there were no statistically significant difference compared with healthy control group (all P＞0.05).The PSV,EDV and RI in severe asphyxia group were still significantly differences compared with healthy control group on day 10 (all P＜0.05).Within 24 h and on day 3,sCysC in the mild asphyxia group increased obviously compared with healthy control group (both P＜0.05).On day 7 and day 10,the differences of sCysC was not statistically significant between mild asphyxia group and healthy control group (both P＞0.05).Compared with healthy control group,the sCysC in severe asphyxia group increased significantly (all P＜0.05) on every time point.PSV and EDV were negatively correlated with sCysC,RI was positively correlated with sCysC.Conclusion Changes in renal function can be reflected soon by index of renal blood flow PSV,EDV and RI.
