Objective:To investigate the efficacy, safety and recurrence rate of oral atenolol in the treatment of infantile hemangioma, so as to provide evidence-based medicine basis and reference for clinic.Methods:Search on the following public databases from January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2022: Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, U. S. National Library of Medicine Clinical Trials Registry Platform; China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System(SinoMed), Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database and Wanfang Data. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, studies on oral atenolol for the treatment of infantile hemangioma were selected. The outcome indicators were efficiency (complete response rate), incidence of adverse effects and recurrence rate. The single-arm meta-analysis was performed using R software version 4.1.2. Egger’s test was employed and funnel plots were drawn to assess publication bias in the literature.Results:A total of 14 studies were included, comprising 5 randomized controlled trials, 5 single-arm studies, 3 non-randomized controlled trials, and 1 case-control study. The oral administration of atenolol for the treatment of infantile hemangiomas resulted in an efficacy rate (complete remission rate) of 62% (95% CI 52%~71%). The incidence rate of adverse reactions related to the digestive system was 18% (95% CI 7%~30%), while that related to β2 receptor blockade was 4% (95% CI 2%~6%), central nervous system-related adverse reactions occurred at a rate of 10% (95% CI 5%~16%), the recurrence rate was 5% (95% CI 2%~9%). Egger’s test indicated that there was no significant publication bias in the efficacy rate, central nervous system-related adverse reaction rate, and gastrointestinal-related adverse reaction rate of oral atenolol treatment for infantile hemangiomas ( P>0.05). The sensitivity analysis for the efficacy rate, adverse reaction rate, and recurrence rate of oral atenolol treatment for infantile hemangiomas suggested that the result were stable and reliable. Conclusion:Oral administration of atenolol for the treatment of infantile hemangiomas demonstrates significant efficacy, fewer adverse reactions, and a low recurrence rate, making it a promising candidate as a reasonable alternative to oral propranolol for treating infantile hemangiomas.

Smart manufacturing still remains critical challenges for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Here, an original data-driven engineering framework was proposed to tackle the challenges. Firstly, from sporadic indicators to five kinds of systematic quality characteristics, nearly 2,000,000 real-world data points were successively characterized from Ginkgo Folium tablet manufacturing. Then, from simplex to the multivariate system, the digital process capability diagnosis strategy was proposed by multivariate Cpk integrated Bootstrap-t. The Cpk of Ginkgo Folium extracts, granules, and tablets were discovered, which was 0.59, 0.42, and 0.78, respectively, indicating a relatively weak process capability, especially in granulating. Furthermore, the quality traceability was discovered from unit to end-to-end analysis, which decreased from 2.17 to 1.73. This further proved that attention should be paid to granulating to improve the quality characteristic. In conclusion, this paper provided a data-driven engineering strategy empowering industrial innovation to face the challenge of smart pharmaceutical manufacturing.
