The Compilation Instructions for Expert Consensus on Clinical Application of Dieda Huoxue capsules systematically expound the development methods and evidence-based basis of this consensus. In view of the weak clinical application evidence and ambiguous indications of Dieda Huoxue capsules, the Institute of Basic Research in Clinical Medicine of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and Wangjing Hospital took the lead and collaborated with 33 experts from 28 medical institutions nationwide. They strictly followed the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline-making norms and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) evidence-grading system and completed the compilation through multidisciplinary cooperation. The workflow included constructing clinical questions (19 items were screened by the nominal group technique), retrieving evidence (from Chinese and English databases and grey literature), assessing safety (integrating drug monitoring data and clinical investigations), and forming recommendations and consensus suggestions (3 recommendations were reached via the GRADE grid method, and 16 consensus suggestions were reached by the majority vote rule). The results indicate that the consensus clearly states that this medicine (Dieda Huoxue capsules) is applicable to conditions like traumatic injury, blood stasis-induced pain, and sudden lumbar sprains. The recommended dose is 6 capsules each time, twice a day. Combining oral administration with external application can enhance the efficacy, and elderly patients should take the medicine at intervals. Safety monitoring suggests that it should be used with caution in people with a bleeding tendency and those with an allergic constitution. The compilation process involved three rounds of reviews by internal and external experts. Literature analysis, the Delphi method, and clinical applicability tests were employed to ensure methodological rigor. The compilation instructions comprehensively present key aspects such as project approval and registration, conflict-of-interest statements, and evidence evaluation through 12 appendices, providing methodological support for the clinical translation of the consensus. In the future, it will be continuously improved through a dynamic revision mechanism.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Ruyi Zhenbaowan(RYZBW)in the treatment of initial and early knee osteoarthritis (KOA) through a prospective multicenter,randomized,double-blind,and placebo-parallel controlled trial. MethodFrom October 13th, 2021 to December 25th, 2021, 240 KOA subjects meeting the acceptance criteria were enrolled in 15 sub-centers including Wangjing Hospital, Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 120 cases in each group. The intervention measures for the observation group were RYZBW + health education, and the intervention measures for the control group were RYZBW placebo + health education. The intervention period in both groups was four weeks, and they were followed up for four weeks after the intervention. The primary outcome measure was the total score of Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index score (WOMAC score), and the secondary outcome measures were the response rate of visual scale (VAS) pain score, WOMAC sub item scores (joint pain, joint stiffness, and joint function), quality of life (SF-12) score, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score. Result(1) Efficacy evaluation. The marginal model results showed that the observation group was better than the control group in improving the WOMAC total score and WOMAC pain score in the treatment of KOA with RYZBW, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in improving VAS score response rate, WOMAC function score, WOMAC stiffness score, SF12-PCS (quality of life-physical health) score, SF12-MCS (quality of life-mental health) score, and TCM syndrome score. (2) Subgroup analysis. ① In terms of VAS score response rate, the response rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group for subjects with baseline VAS score of (4, 5], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). ② In terms of TCM syndrome score, for subjects aged [56, 60] and [61, 65], the decrease in total TCM syndrome score in the observation group was better than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). ConclusionTibetan medicine RYZBW has good clinical efficacy in improving WOMAC total score, VAS score response rate, WOMAC pain score, WOMAC function score, and TCM syndrome score for patients with initial and early KOA, which can fill the lack of Tibetan medicine RYZBW in the treatment of KOA and make a demonstration study for the inheritance and development of ethnic medicine.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of high-frequency average hearing loss in both ears of noise exposed workers in Tianjin in 2020, and quantitatively analyze the influencing factors of high-frequency hearing loss in both ears of workers.Methods:In March 2023, Collect and organize basic information about noise-hazardous enterprises and personal information of workers exposed to noise. Data from the Tianjin Occupational Disease and Health Hazard Factors Information Monitoring System from January 2020 to December 2020, and analyze the impact of basic information of employees, enterprise size, regional distribution, industry category, and economic type on the high-frequency average hearing loss of workers during work. Apply logistic regression to quantitatively analyze the influencing factors of abnormal high-frequency average hearing threshold of noise exposed workers.Results:The size, economic type, industry category, and regional distribution of enterprises, as well as the gender, age, length of service of workers, have an impact on the abnormal high-frequency average hearing threshold of noise exposed workers (χ 2=733.56、3 497、27、1352.84、1197.62、2570.59、22.30、506.60, P<0.001) . Quantitative analysis using a logistic regression model showed that in the basic information of workers, noise exposed workers were male ( OR=2.500, P<0.001) and aged 30-39, 40-49, and 50-59 years ( OR=1.33, P<0.001; OR=1.68, P<0.001; OR=1.52, P< 0.001) , with a length of service of 4 to<10 years and≥10 years ( OR=1.08, P<0.001; OR=1.615, P<0.001) being the influencing factors for high-frequency hearing loss in both ears of noise exposed workers; In terms of enterprise characteristics, medium-sized, small and micro enterprises ( OR=1.12, P<0.001; OR=1.75, P<0.001; OR=2.09, P<0.001) , enterprises located in the fourth district around the city ( OR=1.268, P<0.001) , and enterprises with economic types of collective economy, other economy, private economy, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan investment, shareholding system, and other industry economies ( OR are all >1, P<0.001) are all factors affecting high-frequency hearing loss in noise exposed personnel. Conclusion:Noise is a common occupational hazard factor in Tianjin's enterprises, especially for workers in micro enterprises who face a high risk of hearing abnormalities. Therefore, enterprises need to strengthen the management and intervention of noise operations to prevent the occurrence of hearing loss in workers.

ObjectiveTo comprehensively evaluate the clinical value of Jintiange Capsules (JCs) in the treatment of osteoporosis (OP) and clarify the intrinsic advantages and clinical treatment characteristics of JCs, providing references for relevant departments of national health and medicine decision-making and the basis and clues for clinical and basic in-depth research. MethodBased on evidence-based medical evidence, this study integrated quantitative and qualitative methods and combined with questionnaires, official website data, human experience, pharmacoeconomic evaluation, and other research methods. From the effectiveness, safety, economy, innovation, suitability, accessibility, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) characteristics of the '6+1' dimension, the clinical evidence and value of JCs in the treatment of OP were comprehensively evaluated, forming the 'clinical evidence and value evaluation index'. The comprehensive evaluation of clinical value was based on the multi-criteria decision analysis framework. The expert meeting method was used to empower each dimension and value index. The clinical evidence and value evaluation software of Chinese patent medicine (CSC v2.0) was used to calculate the total value score, and the clinical advantages of JCs were comprehensively evaluated. ResultBased on randomized controlled clinical studies and systematic review, data analysis of spontaneous reporting system (SRS), case reports, non-clinical safety studies, etc., serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were reported after the launch of this product monitored by SRS, mainly involving abnormal liver function and adverse reactions of cardiovascular system. Therefore, the safety evidence adequacy of this product should be further improved, and the safety evaluation was Grade B. Meta-analysis showed that JCs were superior to the control group in improving the total clinical effective rate, improving bone mineral density, reducing visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and shortening fracture healing time. Combined with Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence evaluation, the comprehensive evaluation of effectiveness was Grade A. Pharmacoeconomic evaluation showed that JCs combined with calcium carbonate D3 tablets were more cost-effective than calcium carbonate D3 tablets alone in patients with OP. Compared with Gushukang capsules, JCs had more cost-effectiveness advantages, but the sample size included in the study was small, and the results needed to be verified by further studies. Combined with the results of the Comparative Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP) evaluation list, the comprehensive economic evaluation was Grade B. JCs were the only bionic medicine of tiger bone in China with all intellectual property rights, with 3 national invention patents. Its process preparation and fingerprint detection had obvious technical advantages. It had innovative advantages in the supply base equipment, medicine resource management, production technology, and other aspects. Thus, its innovative comprehensive evaluation was Grade A. JCs were in capsule dosage form, which was relatively convenient for storage and transportation. The dosage form was suitable for indications, and the usage was easy for patients to grasp and accept. The statutory information and non-statutory information met the national standards. The comprehensive evaluation of suitability was Grade A. JCs did not contain toxic ingredients, had no restrictions on origin and prescription, and had abundant resources of original medicinal materials. The affordability of JCs in the treatment of OP was good in urban areas (14.97%) but not in rural areas (39.76%). The price was higher than that of similar Chinese patent medicines, and the comprehensive evaluation of availability was Grade B. JCs had a reasonable proportion of natural animal bones, and their composition was basically the same as that of natural tiger bones. After marketing, more than 2 000 cases of real-world clinical research evidence was accumulated, and the comprehensive evaluation of TCM characteristics was Grade B. CSC v2.0 software was used for quantitative synthesis of the '6+1' dimension, and the comprehensive clinical value of JCs in the treatment of OP was Grade A. ConclusionJCs have good clinical value in the treatment of OP, and the TCM characteristics are prominent. It is suggested that JCs can be directly transformed into the related policy results of basic clinical drug management according to procedures.
