Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agents (HMA) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:A total of 409 MDS patients from 45 hospitals in Zhejiang province who received at least four consecutive cycles of HMA monotherapy as initial therapy were enrolled to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMA. Mann-Whitney U or Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in the clinical data. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze the factors affecting efficacy and survival. Kaplan-Meier was used for survival analysis. Results:Patients received HMA treatment for a median of 6 cycles (range, 4-25 cycles) . The complete remission (CR) rate was 33.98% and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.02%. Multivariate analysis revealed that complex karyotype ( P=0.02, OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.18-0.84) was an independent favorable factor for CR rate. TP53 mutation ( P=0.02, OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.77) was a predictive factor for a higher ORR. The median OS for the HMA-treated patients was 25.67 (95% CI 21.14-30.19) months. HMA response ( P=0.036, HR=0.47, 95% CI 0.23-0.95) was an independent favorable prognostic factor, whereas complex karyotype ( P=0.024, HR=2.14, 95% CI 1.10-4.15) , leukemia transformation ( P<0.001, HR=2.839, 95% CI 1.64-4.92) , and TP53 mutation ( P=0.012, HR=2.19, 95% CI 1.19-4.07) were independent adverse prognostic factors. There was no significant difference in efficacy and survival between the reduced and standard doses of HMA. The CR rate and ORR of MDS patients treated with decitabine and azacitidine were not significantly different. The median OS of patients treated with decitabine was longer compared with that of patients treated with azacitidine (29.53 months vs 20.17 months, P=0.007) . The incidence of bone marrow suppression and pneumonia in the decitabine group was higher compared with that in the azacitidine group. Conclusion:Continuous and regular use of appropriate doses of hypomethylating agents may benefit MDS patients to the greatest extent if it is tolerated.

OBJECTIVE To quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the progress of potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) research by means of bibliometrics, and to predict the hotspots and trends of PIM, so as to provide reference for PIM research in China. METHODS The research literature related to PIM were searched from Web of Science core database, and the publication trend of the literature was analyzed on the bibliometric online analysis platform and CiteSpace 5.8.R3 software. The research results were visualized and analyzed, and the research hotspots of PIM were summarized through gCLUTO. RESULTS About PIM research, the annual number of the literature issued from 2012 to 2021 showed a continuous growth trend totally; the United States had the largest number of literature (241 pieces); the University of Sydney in Australia was the research institution with the largest number of literature (59 pieces); O’Mahony D from University College Cork, Ireland, published the most literature (23 pieces); the research of PIM involved 57 disciplines, among which there was the largest number of literature about gerontology (384 pieces); International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy was the journal with the largest number of literature (61 pieces); Journal of the American Geriatrics Society was cited most frequently (1 197 times). The hotspots of PIM research mainly focused on seven aspects: the standard of PIM, the safety and economy research of PIM, the risk factors research of PIM, the PIM research of chronic patients, the PIM research of antipsychotics, the research of pharmacists’ participation in PIM management, and the PIM research about palliative care of tumor patients. CONCLUSIONS The heat of research on PIM has been on the rise, and there is little cooperation between countries and institutions, and more cooperation is needed. In the future, the focus of Chinese pharmacists’ research on PIM may be on the deep localization of PIM standards, PIM intervention and precise medication guidance, and PIM management of specific diseases and drugs.

OBJECTIVE To observe the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor combined with Compound xueshuantong capsules in the treatment of unstable angina pectoris. METHODS Totally 120 patients with unstable angina pectoris with deficiency of Qi and Yin combined admitted to Sanmenxia Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to December 2022 were randomly divided into clopidogrel group (group A), ticagrelor group (group B) and combined medication group (group C), with 40 patients in each group. In addition to conventional treatment, group A was given clopidogrel orally; group B was given ticagrelor orally; group C was given ticagrelor and Compound xueshuantong capsule orally. After 12 weeks of treatment, the clinical efficacy, frequency of angina attacks, coagulation function indicators, cardiac function indicators, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome efficacy, and the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events and bleeding incidence were evaluated in the 3 groups. RESULTS The total effective rates of group A, group B and group C were 77.5%, 85.0% and 90.0%, respectively. The incidence of adverse cardiovascular events and bleeding events were 7.5%, 7.5% and 5.0% in the respective groups, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). The frequency of angina attacks, duration of angina attacks and duration of dyspnea were significantly reduced or shortened in all 3 groups after treatment compared to before treatment (P<0.05). The frequency of angina attacks in group C was significantly lower than that in groups A and B after treatment (P<0.05). The levels of fibrinogen (FBG) and D-dimer in all 3 groups were significantly lower after treatment compared to before treatment (P<0.05); group A had significantly higher levels of FBG and D-dimer compared to group B and C (P<0.05). The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and left ventricular end-systolic diameter in all three groups were significantly shorter after treatment, and the left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly higher compared to before treatment (P<0.05), but there were no statistically significant differences among those groups (P>0.05). The total effective rates of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome efficacy in groups A, B and C were 67.5%, 80.0% and 87.5%, respectively, with group C being significantly higher than group A (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS In addition to conventional treatment, ticagrelor combined with Compound xueguantong capsules can more significantly reduce the frequency of angina attacks in patients with unstable angina pectoris, reduce the levels of FBG and D- dimer, improve traditional Chinese medicine syndrome efficacy, and do not increase the risk of bleeding.

Objective:
To analyze the clinical features of perianal condyloma acuminatum in HIV infected men who have sex with men (MSM) and assess the effects of combined treatment of microwave and photodynamic therapy.
Methods:
Clinical and laboratory data of 260 male patients with perianal condyloma acuminatum were collected and microwave combined with photodynamic therapy was applied on them.
Results:
The majority of the patients with perianal condyloma acuminatum were young people (243/260). Warts were mainly located in the anus or from the outside to inside of the anus (245/260). Among them, the proportion of warts position of extraanal in HIV-infected group (8/220) was lower than that of non-HIV-infected group (7/40). HPV types 11 (70/118), 6 (44/118) and 16 (40/118) were the most common types of HPV infection. People with HIV infection were more likely to develop high-risk, mixed types HPV infection and multiple HPV infection than those without HIV infection. More than half of the patients (146/260) needed only 1-3 sessions of photodynamic treatments. There was no significant difference in the times of photodynamic treatments and the numbers of photosensitizers required between the HIV-infected and non-HIV-infected groups. The recurrence rate of HIV-infected group (13.6%, 30/220) was also similar to that of non-HIV-infected group (15.0%, 6/40), but far lower than those who underwent microwave therapy alone (45%, 18/40).
Conclusions
The combination therapy significantly reduced the recurrence rate of perianal condyloma acuminatum in HIV infected MSM.
