OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics and regularity of hepatotoxicity induced by quinolones, and to provide reference for clinical use of drug safely. METHODS: Using “quinolone” “floxacin” “hepatotoxicity” “hepatic injury”as retrieval words, relevant literatures about hepatotoxicity induced by quinolones were retrieved from domestic and foreign databases as CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed (during database establishment to 31th, Dec. 2017). Those literatures were summarized and analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 59 valid literatures were collected, including 61 cases of hepatotoxicity induced by quinolones, 8 types of drugs as ciprofloxacin, moxifloxacin, ofloxacin, lomefloxacin, norfloxacin, levofloxacin, gatifloxacin and enoxacin. Ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin and ofloxacin were the most common drugs that caused hepatotoxicity, involving 19, 13, 11, 7 cases, respectively; accumulative constitute ratio was 81.97%. The ratio of male to female was 1.54 ∶ 1, and hepatotoxicity always happened at the age of 61 to 80 (30 cases, 49.18%). Primary diseases of 46 cases were single disease (75.41%), and mainly were infection of respiratory system and urogenital system. There were 15 cases of combined disease (24.59%). Thirty-one cases used quinolones alone, most of which was ciprofloxacin. There were 30 cases of drug combination. Thirty-four cases were given drug intravenously and mainly were domestic cases. The hepatotoxicity first occurred within 10 minutes after administration and at the latest 8 weeks after administration. Forty-nine patients suffered from hepatotoxicity within 10 days after medication, accounting for 80.33%. Besides general fatigue, nausea and vomiting, clinical symptoms also included abnormal elevation of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and total bilirubin,etc. Fifty-four patients were improved after withdrawal or symptomatic treatment, while 7 patients died. The results of causality evaluation of drug-induced hepatic injury showed that there were 4 probably association cases, 45 likely association cases and 12 possible association cases. CONCLUSIONS: The hepatotoxicity caused by quinolones is related to drug variety, patient’s age, primary disease, drug combination and route of administration, and mostly occurs within 10 days after administration. Great importance should be attached to patient’s liver function indexes, strengthen medication monitoring, and carefully combined use of drugs.

Objective:To establish an FPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of fluvoxamine in human plasma. Methods:The separation was performed on an Inertsil? ODS-SP column(2. 1 × 100 mm, 3 μm). The mobile phase was acetonitrile-2 mmol· L-1 ammonium acetate (45: 55, v/v) containing 0. 1% formic acid at a flow rate of 0. 3 ml·min-1 . Lansoprazole was used as the internal standard( IS) . Electrospray ionization ( ESI) source was applied and operated in a positive ion model. Multiple reaction moni-toring (MRM) model with the transitions of fluvoxamine m/z 319. 1→m/z 69. 8 and lansoprazole m/z 370. 2→m/z 252. 1 was used to quantify fluvoxamine and IS, respectively. Results:In human plasma, the standard curve was linear within the range of 1-100 μg· L-1 . The lower limit of quantification of fluvoxamine( LLOQ) was 1μg·L-1 . The intra-day RSD was less than 5%, the inter-day RSD was less than 10%, and the method recovery was 85%-95%. Conclusion:The method is simple, sensitive, accurate and reproduci-ble. It is applicable in the pharmacokinetic study of fluvoxamine for clinical pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence studies.

Objective To explore the clinical manifestations ,risk factors and treatment of antibiotic asso-ciated diarrhea(AAD)in senile patients with severe bacterial pneumonia. Methods Retrospective analysis was made on senile patients of bacterial pneumonia combined with antibiotic associated diarrhea. Results There were 114 patients out of 572 cases had AAD. The incidence of AAD in these senile patients was 19.93%. There were 62.28% patients more than 80 years old. The incidence AAD was 37.3% with third generation cephalosporin treat-ment,28.6% penicillin with enzyme inhibitor treatment and 19.2% with carbopenems treatment. Conclusions The high risk factors of AAD in senile patients with bacterial pneumonia include patient′s age,and time, APACHE Ⅱ,category,combination therapyof antibacterial,and invasive operations. We should pay more atten-tion to AAD and related high risk factors when using these antibiotics in clinics. Rational selection and use of anti-bacterial are important measures to stop senile patients from ADD. Pharmaceutical care could help to optimize the treatment plan and reduce its adverse reaction of antibacterial in senile patients.
