The Pharmacovigilance Guideline for Clinical Application of Chinese Patent Medicine for External Use (T/CACM 1563.5—2024), the first guideline in China specializing for the clinical safety of Chinese patent medicines for external use, was led by the Institute of Basic Research in Clinical Medicine,China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences,and jointly developed by more than 30 research institutions of medical sciences across the country. Aiming to standardize the pharmacovigilance activities in the clinical application of Chinese patent medicines for external use,the guideline systematically categorizes potential risks and proposes prevention and control measures that cover 11 core sections of risk monitoring and reporting, signal identification,as well as assessment and control, addressing the gap in domestic and international standardization of this field. The compilation of this guideline strictly adhered to international norms and domestic regulations, involving multiple rounds of expert consultations,hybrid interviews, and evidence integration (covering literature,medical insurance,essential medicine,pharmacopoeia data, and regulatory information). With the scope of application defined to include medical institutions, pharmaceutical manufacturers and distribution enterprises,as well as regulatory authorities, the guideline focuses on key issues such as inherent medicine risks,quality risks,off-label use,risks of combination therapy,and the safety in special populations. During the compilation,core discrepancies such as the definition of application scope and quality risk control were addressed to ensure alignment with regulations such as the Drug Administration Law of the People's Republic of China and the Good Pharmacovigilance Practice. The guideline is registered internationally (PREPARE—2022CN463). In the future,the implementation of the guideline will be promoted through hierarchical dissemination,dynamic revision,and post-effectiveness evaluation, contributing to rational clinical use and improved patient safety.

The Compilation Instructions for Expert Consensus on Clinical Application of Dieda Huoxue capsules systematically expound the development methods and evidence-based basis of this consensus. In view of the weak clinical application evidence and ambiguous indications of Dieda Huoxue capsules, the Institute of Basic Research in Clinical Medicine of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and Wangjing Hospital took the lead and collaborated with 33 experts from 28 medical institutions nationwide. They strictly followed the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline-making norms and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) evidence-grading system and completed the compilation through multidisciplinary cooperation. The workflow included constructing clinical questions (19 items were screened by the nominal group technique), retrieving evidence (from Chinese and English databases and grey literature), assessing safety (integrating drug monitoring data and clinical investigations), and forming recommendations and consensus suggestions (3 recommendations were reached via the GRADE grid method, and 16 consensus suggestions were reached by the majority vote rule). The results indicate that the consensus clearly states that this medicine (Dieda Huoxue capsules) is applicable to conditions like traumatic injury, blood stasis-induced pain, and sudden lumbar sprains. The recommended dose is 6 capsules each time, twice a day. Combining oral administration with external application can enhance the efficacy, and elderly patients should take the medicine at intervals. Safety monitoring suggests that it should be used with caution in people with a bleeding tendency and those with an allergic constitution. The compilation process involved three rounds of reviews by internal and external experts. Literature analysis, the Delphi method, and clinical applicability tests were employed to ensure methodological rigor. The compilation instructions comprehensively present key aspects such as project approval and registration, conflict-of-interest statements, and evidence evaluation through 12 appendices, providing methodological support for the clinical translation of the consensus. In the future, it will be continuously improved through a dynamic revision mechanism.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Ruyi Zhenbaowan(RYZBW)in the treatment of initial and early knee osteoarthritis (KOA) through a prospective multicenter,randomized,double-blind,and placebo-parallel controlled trial. MethodFrom October 13th, 2021 to December 25th, 2021, 240 KOA subjects meeting the acceptance criteria were enrolled in 15 sub-centers including Wangjing Hospital, Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 120 cases in each group. The intervention measures for the observation group were RYZBW + health education, and the intervention measures for the control group were RYZBW placebo + health education. The intervention period in both groups was four weeks, and they were followed up for four weeks after the intervention. The primary outcome measure was the total score of Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index score (WOMAC score), and the secondary outcome measures were the response rate of visual scale (VAS) pain score, WOMAC sub item scores (joint pain, joint stiffness, and joint function), quality of life (SF-12) score, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score. Result(1) Efficacy evaluation. The marginal model results showed that the observation group was better than the control group in improving the WOMAC total score and WOMAC pain score in the treatment of KOA with RYZBW, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in improving VAS score response rate, WOMAC function score, WOMAC stiffness score, SF12-PCS (quality of life-physical health) score, SF12-MCS (quality of life-mental health) score, and TCM syndrome score. (2) Subgroup analysis. ① In terms of VAS score response rate, the response rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group for subjects with baseline VAS score of (4, 5], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). ② In terms of TCM syndrome score, for subjects aged [56, 60] and [61, 65], the decrease in total TCM syndrome score in the observation group was better than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). ConclusionTibetan medicine RYZBW has good clinical efficacy in improving WOMAC total score, VAS score response rate, WOMAC pain score, WOMAC function score, and TCM syndrome score for patients with initial and early KOA, which can fill the lack of Tibetan medicine RYZBW in the treatment of KOA and make a demonstration study for the inheritance and development of ethnic medicine.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of high-frequency average hearing loss in both ears of noise exposed workers in Tianjin in 2020, and quantitatively analyze the influencing factors of high-frequency hearing loss in both ears of workers.Methods:In March 2023, Collect and organize basic information about noise-hazardous enterprises and personal information of workers exposed to noise. Data from the Tianjin Occupational Disease and Health Hazard Factors Information Monitoring System from January 2020 to December 2020, and analyze the impact of basic information of employees, enterprise size, regional distribution, industry category, and economic type on the high-frequency average hearing loss of workers during work. Apply logistic regression to quantitatively analyze the influencing factors of abnormal high-frequency average hearing threshold of noise exposed workers.Results:The size, economic type, industry category, and regional distribution of enterprises, as well as the gender, age, length of service of workers, have an impact on the abnormal high-frequency average hearing threshold of noise exposed workers (χ 2=733.56、3 497、27、1352.84、1197.62、2570.59、22.30、506.60, P<0.001) . Quantitative analysis using a logistic regression model showed that in the basic information of workers, noise exposed workers were male ( OR=2.500, P<0.001) and aged 30-39, 40-49, and 50-59 years ( OR=1.33, P<0.001; OR=1.68, P<0.001; OR=1.52, P< 0.001) , with a length of service of 4 to<10 years and≥10 years ( OR=1.08, P<0.001; OR=1.615, P<0.001) being the influencing factors for high-frequency hearing loss in both ears of noise exposed workers; In terms of enterprise characteristics, medium-sized, small and micro enterprises ( OR=1.12, P<0.001; OR=1.75, P<0.001; OR=2.09, P<0.001) , enterprises located in the fourth district around the city ( OR=1.268, P<0.001) , and enterprises with economic types of collective economy, other economy, private economy, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan investment, shareholding system, and other industry economies ( OR are all >1, P<0.001) are all factors affecting high-frequency hearing loss in noise exposed personnel. Conclusion:Noise is a common occupational hazard factor in Tianjin's enterprises, especially for workers in micro enterprises who face a high risk of hearing abnormalities. Therefore, enterprises need to strengthen the management and intervention of noise operations to prevent the occurrence of hearing loss in workers.
