OBJECTIVE
To analyze and evaluate serious adverse drug reaction(SADR) and drug-drug interactions(DDIs) in the real-world, so as to obtain the clinical evidence of DDIs-related SADR, and to provide a reference for rational clinical use.
METHODS
The SADR reports reported to the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center from January 2011 to December 2020 were collected, and Lexi-Interaction® software in UpToDate was used to analyze ≥2 drugs in SADR to evaluate whether there were potential DDIs. And the possible adverse drug reactions caused by DDIs were statistically analyzed.
RESULTS
Among the 360 cases of SADR, males were slightly more than females(50.83% vs 49.17%), the mean age was (65.27±14.71) years old, and 56.39% were ≥65 years old. Cardiovascular agents were the most common implicated pharmacological group, and the gastrointestinal system was the most frequently affected system, and aspirin was the most frequently reported drug. Among 150 cases of SADR with at least two suspected drugs, 64 cases had potential DDIs, while 42 cases had clinically significant DDIs, of which only 16 and 2 cases of SADR were caused by actual DDIs in category D and X, respectively. The majority of reports(71.43%) were caused by additive pharmacodynamic interactions. Aspirin was the most common drug in both potential DDIs and actual DDIs, while aspirin and clopidogrel was the most commonly involved drug pair in actual DDIs, with gastrointestinal bleeding being the most common SADR.
CONCLUSION
Attention should be paid to the influence of drug interactions on SADR, and prescription should be optimized, especially in the elderly population. According to the results of potential DDIs, therapeutic drugs should be rationally selected. Meanwhile, monitoring of cardiovascular drugs and key populations should be strengthened to ensure drug safety.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Yiqi tongmai formula on atherosclerosis (AS) in ApoE-/- mice and its mechanism. METHODS Forty ApoE-/- mice were randomly divided into model group, positive control group [atorvastatin calcium, 2.6 mg/(kg·d)], and low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups of Yiqi tongmai formula [0.46, 0.91, 1.82 g/(kg·d), by raw material], with 8 mice in each group. Eight C57BL/6J mice were selected as the normal group. Except for the normal group, the other groups were given a high-lipid diet and relevant drug or normal saline intragastrically, once a day, for 12 consecutive weeks. After the last medication, the serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) as well as the contents of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were measured in mice. The proportion of aortic plaque area in each group of mice was detected and calculated, and the pathological morphological changes of the aortic sinus were observed; the protein phosphorylation levels of aortic phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (aka Akt) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) were examined. RESULTS Compared with the model group, the serum levels of TC, TG and LDL-C and the contents of TNF-α, IL-1β and MCP-1 (including low-dose group) were decreased significantly in medium-dose and high-dose groups of Yiqi tongmai formula, while the content of HDL-C in high-dose group was increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01); aortic plaques of the mice were reduced in Yiqi tongmai formula groups to different extents, and pathological changes such as lipid deposition and inflammatory cell infiltration were relieved to different extents; the proportion of aortic plaque area, the protein phosphorylation levels of PI3K, Akt and mTOR in aortic tissue were significantly reduced in medium-dose and high-dose groups of Yiqi tongmai formula (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Yiqi tongmai formula can improve lipid metabolism, reduce inflammatory response, and delay plaque development in AS mice. Its effect may be related to the inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway activation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Yiqi Tongxin formula (YQTM) on liver inflammation in apolipoprotein E-∕- (ApoE-∕-) mice by regulating the nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB)/NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) signaling pathway. MethodForty ApoE-∕- mice were randomly divided into a model group, an atorvastatin group (positive drug group), and low-, medium-, and high-dose YQTM groups (0.39, 0.78, 1.56 g·kg-1). Each drug administration group was given the corresponding concentration of the drug by gavage on the basis of high-fat feeding for 12 consecutive weeks. Eight C57BL/6J mice were used as a blank group and fed with normal chow. After 12 weeks, oil red O staining and Masson staining were used to observe the aortic lesions in mice and to determine whether the modeling was successful. Oil red O staining was used to observe the lipidosis in the livers of mice. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the tissue lesions in the livers of mice. Masson staining was used to observe the distribution of collagen fibers in the livers of mice. Enzyme markers were used to detect the total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in mouse serum, as well as total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) in the liver. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18 were detected in mouse liver by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was utilized to observe the expression regions of NF-κB and NLRP3 in the livers of mice. Western blot was employed to detect the protein expression levels of NF-κB, NF-κB inhibitory protein (IκB), IκB kinase β (IKKβ), phosphorylated NF-κB (p-NF-κB), phosphorylated IκB (p-IκB), phosphorylated IKK β (p-IKKβ), NLRP3, and Caspase-1 in the livers of mice. ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group showed severe aortic lipidosis, and the intracellular fat droplets in the livers aggregated in large quantities. The cytoplasm was filled with fat vacuoles(P<0.01). The serum levels of TG, TC, LDL-C, AST, and ALT were significantly elevated in the mice(P<0.01). TG and TC levels were elevated in the liver(P<0.01). The levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in liver tissue, as well as the protein expression levels of NF-κB, IκB, IKKβ, p-NF-κB, p-IκB, p-IKKβ, NLRP3, and Caspase-1 in the liver were significantly elevated(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the aortic arch plaques of mice in each YQTM group were attenuated, and the fat aggregation in the liver was reduced. The inflammatory cell infiltration was alleviated(P<0.05,P<0.01). The serum levels of TG, TC, LDL-C, AST, and ALT were significantly reduced(P<0.05,P<0.01). TG and TC levels in the liver were reduced. The IL-1β and IL-18 levels in liver tissue, as well as protein expression levels of NF-κB, IκB, IKKβ, p-NF-κB, p-IκB, p-IKKβ, NLRP3, and Caspase-1 in the liver were significantly reduced(P<0.05,P<0.01). ConclusionThe intervention mechanism of YQTM on liver inflammation in ApoE-∕- mice may be related to the down-regulation of the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway.
