Objective This study aimed to explore the effect of the combined Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule with dapagliflozin on the blood lipid profile and related inflammatory markers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with peripheral vascular disease. Methods 72 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with peripheral vascular disease who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Endocrinology,The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine,from April 2021 to April 2023. The patients were assigned to the experimental group and the control group using the random number table method (36 cases in each group). The control group was treated with dapagliflozin in addition to standard treatment,while the experimental group received the Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule for 12 weeks. Clinical efficacy,glucose and lipid metabolism indicators,hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),body mass index (BMI) levels,and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores were observed pre-and post-treatment.Results In post-treatment,the clinical efficacy was higher in the experimental group than in the control group. Significant reductions in fasting blood glucose (FPG),2 h postprandial glucose (2 hPG),triglycerides (TG),total cholesterol (TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),hs-CRP,BMI,and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were observed. Scores for TCM syndrome and individual items also decreased (P<0.05). Comparisons within the groups for pre-and post-treatment showed reductions in FPG,2 hPG,TG,TC,LDL-C,hs-CRP,and an increase in HDL-C,along with a decrease in total scores of TCM syndrome (P<0.05). Conclusion The Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule combined with dapagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus with peripheral vascular disease can regulate the blood lipid profile,reduce inflammatory factors,and improve patient's symptoms. Integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment are more conducive to controlling the disease,and TCM can be used in clinical practice as a combination treatment.

Objective:To observe the clinical characteristics and guideline compliance of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with initial triple therapy in real-life world.Methods:This study is a cross-sectional study. The subjects of the study were COPD patients admitted to 13 hospitals in Hunan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from December 2016 to December 2021. The initial treatment was triple inhaled drugs. The data collected included gender, age, diagnosis, body mass index (BMI), history of acute exacerbation (AE) in the past year, pulmonary function, COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score, modified British Medical Research Council Dyspnea Questionnaire (mMRC), inhaled drugs and other indicators. The characteristics and differences of COPD patients before and after 2020 were analyzed.Results:7 184 patients with COPD were enrolled in this study, including 2 409 COPD patients treated with initial triple therapy, accounting for 33.5%(2 409/7 184). Taking January 1st, 2020 as the cut-off point, 1 825 COPD patients (75.8%) received initial treatment with triple inhaled drugs before 2020 and 584 patients (24.2%) after 2020 were included in this study. Compared with COPD patients before 2020, the COPD patients after 2020 had higher FEV 1% [(40.9±15.5 )% vs (39.3±15.5)%, P=0.040], lower CAT [(15.8±6.5)point vs (17.5±6.2)point, P<0.001], less AE in the past year [1(0, 2)times vs 1(0, 2)times, P=0.001] and higher rate of non-AE [255(43.7%) vs 581(37.1%), P=0.006]. In addition, before 2020, patients with COPD were mainly treated with open triple drugs (1 825/1 825, 100%); after 2020, 306 patients (52.4%) received open triple inhaled drugs, and 278 patients (47.6%) received closed triple inhaled drugs. Conclusions:In real-life world, most of patients with COPD treated with triple therapy have severe lung function, obvious symptoms and high risk of acute exacerbation. The real-world prescribing of triple therapy in patients with COPD does not always reflect recommendations in guidelines and strategies, and overtreatment is common. After 2020, prescribing triple therapy for COPD patients is more positive and worse consistency with guideline.

Objective To understand the rationality and safety of oral antihypertensive drugs on chronic renal disease(CKD)combined with hypertension hospitalized patients. Methods It was a multi-center and retrospective investigation. The electronic medical records of CKD with hypertension patients who were hospitalized in 6 comprehensive hospitals in Beijing and used oral antihypertensive drugs on October 1st,2013 to March 31st,2015 were collected. The pharmacists who participated in the project from the 6 research centers filled out the investigation form. According to the drug instruction,the rationality of antihypertensive medication was evaluated by daily dose,frequency of drug delivery,the dosage for renal insufficiency,contraindications and adverse interactions. Results There were 2 833 valid cases in this study,1 730 males and 1 103 females. The ratio of male to female was 1:0.64. The range of age was 18~101 years. The average age was(61 ± 18)years. There were 1 630(57.54%)cases whose age was≥60;314(11.1%)cases were CKD level 1,526(18.6%)cases were CKD level 2,1 117(39.4%)cases were CKD level 3,423(14.9%)cases were CKD level 4,453(16.0%)cases were CKD level 5. 144 (5.1%)cases were hypertension level 1,592(20.9%)cases were hypertension level 2,1 398 cases (49.3%)were hypertension level 3,and 699(24.7%)cases were not graded. The oral hypotensive drugs applied during the hospitalization of 2 833 patients included calcium channel blockers(CCB),beta blockers,diuretics,angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocker(ARB),angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI),alpha/beta blockers and alpha blockers. 1 022(36.1%)cases used 1 kind of antihypertensive drugs,1 032(36.4%)cases used 2 kinds of antihypertensive drugs,591(20.9%)cases used 3 kinds of antihyper-tensive drugs,157(5.5%)cases used 4 kinds of antihypertensive drugs and 31(1.1%)cases used 5 kinds of antihypertensive drugs. A total of 6038 cases of antihypertensive drugs were administered. The top priority was CCB(35.11%,2 120),the second was beta blockers(17.26%,1 042)and the third was diuretics(16.23%,980). The choice of a single drug for antihypertensive drugs was reasonable. The 2,3,4,5 combined drug users who were not recommended by the guidelines were 4.8%(50/1 032), 21.2%(125/591),28.0%(44/157)and 64.5%(20/31)respectively. The situation of blood pressure control was evaluated with blood pressure target values achieved rate. With blood pressure below 130/80 mmHg as the standard,the admission and discharge blood pressure target achieved rate was 31.2%(884/2 833)and 29.5%(799/2 705)respectively. With blood pressure below 140/90 mmHg as the standard, the admission and discharge blood pressure target achievement rate was 53.6%(1 519/2 833)and 64.4%(1 743/2 705)respectively. Among the 2 833 cases,903(31.9%)cases had 1 204 times of unreasonable use of the drug. The top three were excessive daily frequency of medication(1 029,85.5%),total daily dosage(114,9.5%),and use of drugs that were contraindicated(51,4.2%). Two cases had adverse drug reactions related to antihypertensive drugs. Conclusion The use of antihypertensive drugs in patients with CKD in the six hospitals involved in the investigation was reasonable,but there was still some problems in the combination of drugs. Some doctors are not familiar with the drug instructions,and there are some problems such as increasing the frequency of drug use,overdose medication,and use of drugs that are contraindicated. Clinical pharmacists should be more involved in clinical work in these areas.
