Objective To investigate the protective effects of ethanol extracts of Tadehagi triquetrum ( TTOE) on car-bon tetrachloride ( CCl4 )-induced acute liver injury in mice. Methods Kunming mice were randomly divided into six groups:normal control group ( NC group) ,model control group,bifendate dropping pill group,low-,medium-and high-dose TTOE groups. The liver injury model was established by administration of CCl4 in all the groups except the NC group.The indexes of the liver, spleen and thymus were obtained.The activities of serum ALT,AST,ALP,LDH, albumin and T-AOC were measured.The activi-ties of SOD and GSH-PX and the contents of MDA,NO and GSH and Cyt P450 were also detected in hepatic tissues. Results TTOE at different doses could obviously reduce the indexes of the liver,thymus and spleen,which were (57.13±0.71),(32.44± 0.24),and (27.78±0.16),respectively,in high-dose TTOE group,and there were significant differences between the TTOE groups and model control group (P<0.01).The activities of ALT,AST,ALP and LDH were obviously decreased in high-dose TTOE groups,which were (65.59±8.23),(141.38±15.52),(2 462.4±253.6),(172.51±20.64),respectively,in the TTOE high-dose group (P<0.01).The serum levels of Alb and T-AOC were obviously increased,the contents of NO and MDA significantly decreased and the activities of SOD and GSH-PX and the contents of GSH Cyt P450 in liver tissues profoundly increased in TTOE groups when compared with those in model control group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) . Conclusion TTOE could protect against acute hepatic injury induced by CCl4 in mice,which may be associated with the decrease in the activities of liver enzymes,anti-oxide free radical effect,decreased NO content and inhibited lipid peroxidation.

Tanshinone ⅡA is one of the main effective components in Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. It plays a role in the resistance to atherosclerosis by participating in anti-inflammatory in vascular wall, such as the regulating endothelial cell apoptosis and correcting lipid metabolism disorder. This article summarized recent researches of the basic role of tanshinone ⅡA in the resistance to atherosclerosis and provided references for clinical application of antiatherosclerotic effect of tanshinone ⅡA.

Objective To assess which of topical tacrolimus and topical highly potent steroids,is more effective and safer in the treatment of pediatric vitiligo.Methods The PubMed,Cochrane library,Scopus and CINAHL plus databases were retrieved.The search was confined to English language articles.The randomized controlled trial(RCT) articles were included in our study.The quality of the identified articles was examined by using the CASP Randomised Controlled Trials Checklist.Results As a result,there were only a few studies related to the comparison.However,there were only two RCTs regarding a comparison of topical tacrolimus 0.1% and clobetasol propionate 0.05 % in childhood vitiligo.Conclusion When the body surface area (BSA) involved in the child is <20 %,and the disease is not rapidly spreading,topical therapy is the first choice.Topical tacrolimus may be considered as an alternative therapy for childhood vitiligo,especially for acrofacial and segmental types,before considering other modalities,but still need to observe long-term side effects.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for safe drug use in patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Clinical pharmacists participated in the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with ALK-positive NSCLC who developed bilateral pleural effusion and hemolytic anemia after taking alectinib; regarding symptoms such as pleural effusion and hemolytic anemia in the patient, clinical pharmacists investigated the patient’s history of medication and disease, as well as potential drug interaction; to consider the correlation between the patient’s use of alectinib and the duration of pleural effusion and hemolytic anemia, clinical pharmacists suggested that clinical doctors discontinued alectinib and used reduced dose treatment after the pleural effusion improved, but the patient suffered from bilateral pleural effusion and hemolytic anemia again; after evaluating the correlation between alectinib and bilateral pleural effusion and hemolytic anemia using the Naranjo’s assessment scale, clinical pharmacists recommend permanent discontinuation of alectinib and jointly recommend replacement with ensartinib with clinical physicians. RESULTS Physicians adopted the suggestions of clinical pharmacists. The pleural effusion subsequently regressed and hemolytic anemia improved after replacing the drug. The correlation between alectinib and bilateral pleural effusion and hemolytic anemia was confirmed. CONCLUSIONS Clinical pharmacists participate in pharmaceutical monitoring of ALK-positive NSCLC patients, assist clinical doctors in developing personalized medication recommendations, and ensure the safety of patient medication.

Objective:
To investigate the distribution and related factors of birth weight of live births and full-term infants in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China.
Methods:
Based on Guangxi women and children information system from 2016 to 2018, a large real-time database about maternal and live-birth information was established. It covered 1 712 midwifery institutions in Guangxi. A total of 2 394 240 cases of live births were collected and 2 243 129 cases of which were full-term infants. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the related factors of low birth weight.
Results:
The birth weight of 2 394 240 live births, (3 123.49±461.08) g, in Guangxi was approximately normal distribution with a peak distribution to the left. The incidence of low birth weight was 8.05%, and the incidence of macrosomia was 2.07%. The incidence of low birth weight was 10.92% for the puerpera with body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) <18.5, 16.82% for the puerpera with height
