Objective:To evaluate the reporting quality of clinical guidelines on skin diseases published in journals in China.Methods:The CNKI, VIP, Wanfang and SinoMed databases were searched from January 2009 to October 2019 for clinical guidelines on skin diseases published in journals in China. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, and extracted and cross-checked data. The reporting quality of these clinical guidelines was evaluated by using the Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT) , and statistical analysis was carried out with Excel 2017 software.Results:A total of 17 clinical guidelines on skin diseases were included, including 13 Western medicine guidelines and 4 Chinese medicine guidelines. Among the 13 Western medicine guidelines, the number of guidelines reporting the following areas in the RIGHT statement, namely basic information, background, evidence, recommendations, review and quality assurance, funding and declaration and management of interests, and other information, was 9, 6, 0, 4, 0, 1 and 1 respectively; among the 4 Chinese medicine guidelines, the number of guidelines reporting the above 7 areas in the RIGHT statement was 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2 and 2 respectively.Conclusion:There is still considerable room for improvement in the overall reporting quality of clinical guidelines on skin diseases published in journals in China during the past 10 years, and the RIGHT statement is recommended for improving the reporting quality in guideline development.

BACKGROUNDUnhygienic blood collection in the early 1990s led to blood-borne infections in Central China. This study aimed to estimate human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infection with hepatitis C and B viruses (HCV and HBV) and their risk factors in a rural area of Shanxi Province with a history of commercial blood donation.

METHODSA cross-sectional study was conducted in 2004. All adult residents in the target area were invited to participate in the study. Face-to-face interviews were completed and blood specimens were tested for HIV, HCV, and HBV surface antigen (HBsAg).

RESULTSPrevalence rates of HIV, HCV, and HBsAg were 1.3% (40/3 062), 12.7% (389/3 062), and 3.5% (103/2982), respectively. Of the 40 HIV-positive specimens, 85% were HCV positive and 2.5% were HBsAg positive. The history of commercial blood donation was positively associated with HIV, HCV, and HIV/HCV co-infections, but was negatively associated with HBsAg seropositivity. Migration for employment in the last 5 years was positively related to HIV, HBsAg, and HIV/HCV co-infections. Univariate logistic analysis showed that illegal drug use, number of sex partners, extramarital sex behavior, commercial sex behavior, and condom use rate were not related to anti-HIV, anti-HCV, HBsAg seropositivity or their co-infections.

CONCLUSIONThe history of commercial blood donation was the main risk factor for HIV, HCV, and HIV/HCV co-infections in this former commercial blood donation area. HIV and HCV prevention and treatment interventions are important in this area.

Antipyretic-analgesics are currently one of the most prescribed drugs in children.The clinical application of antipyretic-analgesics for children in our country still have irrational phenomenon, which affects the therapeutic effect and even poses hidden dangers to the safety of children.In this paper, suggestions were put forward from the indications, dosage form/route, dosage suitability, pathophysiological characteristics of children with individual differences and drug interactions in the symptomatic treatment of febrile children, so as to provide reference for the general pharmacists when conducting prescription review.
