OBJECTIVE To understand the safety of Ilaprazole sodium for injection in clinical practice. METHODS From Jan. 1st 2019 to Feb. 29th 2020， the data of 3 926 valid hospitalized patients receiving Ilaprazole sodium for injection were collected prospectively from 5 third-level hospitals through CHPS， and the post-marketing safety analysis was performed by using retrospective multicenter single cohort study. At the same time， a nested case-control study （the ratio of trial group and control group was 1∶4） was used to confirm the baseline stability of this study cohort and the correlation between adverse reactions and Ilaprazole sodium for injection. RESULTS Among 3 926 patients， 3 patients experienced 5 adverse drug events after using Ilaprazole sodium for injection， with the incidence of 0.076%. There was no serious adverse event， and the occurrence time was 2 days after medication； adverse drug events mainly include elevated liver function indicators （alanine transaminase， aspartate transaminase， total bilirubin）， which were mild and untreated， and all adverse drug events were improved. The results of the nested case-control study showed that the trial group and the control group belonged to the same background baseline， and the occurrence of adverse drug events was more closely related to Ilaprazole sodium for injection. CONCLUSIONS The overall safety of Ilaprazole sodium for injection is relatively high， and the occurrence of adverse events is more related to it.

Model informed precision dosing (MIPD) is a new concept to guide precision dosing for individual patient by modeling and simulation based on the available information about the individual patient, medications and the disease. Compared to the empirical dosing, MIPD could improve the efficacy, safety, economics and adherence of the pharmacotherapy according to the individual's pathophysiology, genotyping and disease progression. This consensus report provides a brief account of the concept, methodology and implementation of MIPD as well as clinical decision supporting systems for MIPD. The status and future advancing of MIPD was also discussed to facilitate the appropriate application and development of MIPD in China.

AIM: To investigate the absorption of helicid in different segments of intestine based on rat everted intestine sac model. METHODS: To establish a high-performance liquid chromatography method for simultaneous determination of helicid and its metabolite. Krebs-ringer solution containing helicid was added to everted intestine sacs of different segments (duodenum, Jejunum, ileum and colon). Drug concentration in sacs was determined at different time points (5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 min). Adsorptions of helicid in four intestinal segments were compared. RESULTS: This high-performance liquid chromatography was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of helicid and its metabolite. Absorption of helicid was rapid and time-dependent. The absorption and metabolism of helicid in duodenum segment were higher than these in other segments. CONCLUSION: The duodenum segment is the main site of segmental absorption and metabolism of helicid. This is the first report on intestinal segment metabolism of helicid.

With the increasing cost of drug development and clinical trials, it is of great value to make full use of all kinds of data to improve the efficiency of drug development and to provide valid information for medication guidelines. Model-based meta-analysis (MBMA) combines mathematical models with meta-analysis to integrate information from multiple sources (preclinical and clinical data, etc.) and multiple dimensions (targets/mechanisms, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, diseases/indications, populations, regimens, biomarkers/efficacy/safety, etc.), which not only provides decision-making for all key points of drug development, but also provides effective information for rational drug use and cost-effectiveness analysis. The classical meta-analysis requires high homogeneity of the data, while MBMA can combine and analyze the heterogeneous data of different doses, different time courses, and different populations through modeling, so as to quantify the dose-effect relationship, time-effect relationship, and the relevant impact factors, and thus the efficacy or safety features at the level of dose, time and covariable that have not been involved in previous studies. Although the modeling and simulation methods of MBMA are similar to population pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (Pop PK/PD), compared with Pop PK/PD, the advantage of MBMA is that it can make full use of literature data, which not only improves the strength of evidence, but also can answer the questions that have not been proved or can not be answered by a single study. At present, MBMA has become one of the important methods in the strategy of model-informed drug development (MIDD). This paper will focus on the application value, data analysis plan, data acquisition and processing, data analysis and reporting of MBMA, in order to provide reference for the application of MBMA in drug development and clinical practice.

Objective: To investigate the impact of immediate cessation of antiviral therapy on postpartum liver function and the factors influencing postpartum abnormality in mothers with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. One hundred eighty-eight pregnant women with HBV DNA level > 2×106 IU/ml were enrolled from June 2014 to June 2018. Demographic information and clinical data of liver function and HBV DNA load during gravidity, intrapartum and postpartum period were collected. According to the antiviral treatment recommendations during pregnancy, the women were divided into three groups, namely, tenofovir (TDF), telbivudine (LdT) and control group. Liver function abnormalities among the three groups were compared within 6 months after delivery, and the factors influencing abnormal liver function were analyzed by unconditional logistic regression. Results: Of the 188 cases, 72 cases were in the TDF group, 80 cases in the LdT group, and 36 cases in the control group. Pregnant women in the TDF and LdT groups received oral TDF (300 mg/d) and LdT (600 mg/d) from 28 ± 4 weeks of gestation till delivery. Among the 188 patients, 30 (16.0%) had abnormal postpartum liver function abnormality. The incidence of postpartum liver function abnormality [alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN)] in the TDF, LdT, and control groups was 19.4%, 12.5%, and 16.7%, respectively. The postpartum peak levels of ALT (median, range) in the three groups were 34.5 (12.0-946.0) U/L, 37.5 (12.0-733.8) U/L, and 39.0 (7.0-513.0) U/L, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two indexes among the three groups (P > 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the degree of postpartum liver function abnormalities between the three groups (P = 0.944). Most of the liver function abnormalities were mild to moderate (2 × ULN≤ALT < 10 × ULN), and usually resolved spontaneously or by treatment. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that baseline ALT level during pregnancy was an independent factor associated with postpartum liver function abnormality (OR = 1.031, CI 95%: 1.005-1.058; χ² = 5.340, P = 0.021), whereas age, antiviral therapy, HBeAg-positivity, baseline HBV DNA levels, gravidity, parity, preterm delivery and delivery mode were not significantly associated with postpartum liver function abnormality. Conclusion Cessation of antiviral therapy after delivery did not significantly increase the risk of postpartum liver function abnormality in pregnant women with chronic HBV infection. The ALT level during pregnancy is a factor influencing postpartum liver function abnormality.

OBJECTIVETo explore the value of baseline serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) for predicting 2-year fracture in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on maintenance dialysis.

METHODSA total of 139 patients with CKD undergoing maintenance dialysis in our hospital were enrolled in this study. According to the median serum ALP level, the patients were divided into high ALP and low ALP groups. The demographic and clinical data of the patients including dialysis duration, serum calcium level, serum phosphorus level, and serum intact parathyroid hormone level were recorded, and their bone mineral density of the femur and the lumbar spine was measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. The patients were followed up for 2 years and fracture events were recorded. The risk factors of fracture were analyzed using logistic regression analysis, and their predictive value for fracture was analyzed using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

RESULTSThe mean baseline serum ALP level was 132.55±167.68 U/L in these patients, significantly higher than that in the normal population (=2.816, =0.006). Baseline serum ALP level was negatively correlated with the bone mineral density of the lumbar spine (=-0.203, =0.006) and the femur (=-0.196, =0.021). Fractures occurred in 21 (15.1%) of the patients during the 2-year follow-up, and the fracture rate was significantly higher in patients with high ALP levels. Logistic regression analysis identified serum ALP level as an independent risk factor of fracture (OR: 1.010, =0.001, 95%CI: 1.004-1.016). The areas under the ROC curve were 0.900 and 0.768 for serum ALP level and intact parathyroid hormone level in predicting 2-year fractures, respectively.

CONCLUSIONSSerum ALP may serve as a good indicator for predicting 2-year fractures in patients with CKD on maintenance dialysis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ilaprazole sodium for injection in the treatment of peptic ulcer bleeding.Methods It was designed as a multi-center,stratified randomized,double-blind,positive drug parallel controlled and non-inferiority study.From October 2014 to April 2015,at 40 hospitals,patients with peptic ulcer hemorrhage confirmed by gastroendoscopy were enrolled and divided into the ilaprazde sodium group (10 mg ilaprazole sodium for injection every 24 h,the first dose doubled) and the positive control group (40 mg of omeprazole sodium for injection every 12 h).The course of both treatment was 72 h.The hemostasis rate of overall group at 72 h,the clinical rebleeding rate at four to seven days,the blood transfusion rate,the incidence of switching to other treatments and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.A chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability method were performed for statistical analysis.Results A total of 533 patients with peptic ulcer bleeding were enrolled,355 patients in the ilaprazole sodium group and 178 patients in the positive control group.The hemostasis rates of ilaprazole sodium group and positive control group at 72 h were 97.69 ％ (339/347) and 97.14 ％ (170/175),respectively,and the difference was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).There were no rebleeding patients in both groups at four to seven days.The blood transfusion rates of ilaprazole sodium group and positive control group were 5.07 ％ (18/355) and 3.37 ％ (6/178).The incidence of switching to other treatments was 0.56％ (2/355) and 0.56％ (1/178),respectively,and the differences were not statistically significant (both P＞ 0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in the ilaprazole sodium group was 3.94％ (14/355),which was lower than that of positive control group (8.43％,15/178).And the difference was statistically significant (Fisher's exact probability method,P=0.042).Conclusions The efficacy of ilaprazole sodium for injection in the treatment of peptic ulcer bleeding is similar to that of omeprazole sodium for injection.Moreover,the smaller the dose,the lower the frequency of administration and the better the safety.

Objective To explore the role and mechanism of microRNA-15b in the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs).Methods PCR assay was used to determine the expression of microRNA-15b in the HMrSV5 induced by 138mmol/L high glucose for 24 h.MicmRNA-15b mimic or inhibitor was transfected into human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HMrSV5) to over-express or down-regulate microRNA-15b.The cells were then incubated with 138 mmol/L high glucose for 24 h,and the expressions of E-cadherin(E-Cad),Vimentin (VIM),Fibronectin(FN) and Smad7 were detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting respectively.Results microRNA-15b in the HMrSV5 ceils was over-expressed and down-regulated.Increased level of microRNA-15b was obtained in HMrSV5 cells treated with high glucose.In vitro,high glucose led to the up-regulation of vimentin as well as fibronectin and the down-regulation of E-cadherin in HMrSV5 cells (all P ＜ 0.05),which indicated EMT and fibrosis.Suppression of microRNA-15b by transfection with microRNA-15b inhibitor partially reversed the EMT and fibrosis changes (P ＜ 0.05),while over-expression of microRNA-15b by transfection with microRNA-15b mimic obviously enhanced the EMT and fibrosis changes (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions MicroRNA-15b mediates high glucose induced EMT in human peritoneal mesothelial cells by the inhibition of Smad7 possibly.MicroRNA-15b maybe a new target for the prevention and treatment of peritoneal fibrosis during peritoneal dialysis (PD).

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the economic value of Shenqi fuzheng injection combined with chemotherapy vs. chemo-therapy alone for non-small lung cancer(NSCLC),and to provide reference for drug payment and clinical treatment. METHODS:By prospective cohort design,516 patients with non-small cell lung cancer from 11 hospitals were selected as subjects according to the sale distribution of Shenqi fuzheng injection in district and hospital;267 cases of Shenqi fuzheng injection combined with che-motherapy and 249 cases of chemotherapy alone formed naturally according the clinical therapy plan. The cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analysis were conducted using FACT-L score,KPS score and ZPS score as effect index,QALYs as effectiveness index observation period of 21 d.

ZPS score:Shenqi fuzheng injection combined with chemotherapy group was lower than chemotherapy alone(-17 398.77 vs. 384 513.00). Shenqi fuzheng injection combined with chemotherapy group was lower than chemotherapy alone group in average cost per 1 QALYs(1 313 326 yuan vs. 13 374 365 yuan). CONCLUSIONS:Compared with chemotherapy alone group,Shenqi fuzheng injection combined with chemo-therapy can effectively improve the quality of life,and it is worth of spending more money on Shenqi fuzheng injection from the perspective of the pharmacoeconomics.

Objective To investigate hepatic histological features and its influencing factors of HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients. Methods 134 HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients who underwent percutaneous liver biopsy were recruited in this study. The liver biopsy sections were examined after routine haematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and silver staining for assessment of fibrosis. The activity of liver disease was assessed by using a modified Knodell numeric histology activity index (HAI). ALT level, HBV DNA load, HBV serological markers, HBV genotype were assessed with appropriate methods. t test or analysis of variance was used to compare means. Non-parametric was done by Kruskal-Wallis test. The correlation between liver pathological change and clinical factors was analyzed by multivariate linear regression. Results Of 134 HBeAg negative CHB patients, percentages of mild (HAI 4 ~ 8), moderate (HAI 9 ~ 12), and severe hepatitis (HAI 13 ~ 18) were 26.9%, 26.1%, and 47.0%, respectively. As for hepatic fibrosis, 18.7% and 81.3% of the patients had fibrosis score < 3 and ≥3, respectively. Multivariate regression analysis showed that ALT level and hepatic fibrosis were correlated to hepatic inflammation (t = 6.687,P < 0.01; t = 3.478, P < 0.01) while age and hepatic inflammation activity were influencing factors of hepatic fibrosis (t = 3.587, P < 0.01; t =7.136, P < 0.01). However, correlation is not significant between hepatic histological change and other factors, including gender, HBVDNA, HBV genotype and HBeAb status. Conclusions In this study, hepatic histological change tend to become worse in majority of HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B , especially in older patients and those with high ALT level.
