OBJE CTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics of a dverse drug reactions of asparaginase-associated pancreatitis(AAP),so as to provide reference for clinical safe medication. METHODS Analysis and identification were performed on a severe adverse reaction case of acute pancreatitis complicated with diabetic ketoacidosis and liver injury in a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in our hospital after using pegaspargase. Retrieved from Wanfang database ,CNKI,PubMed and Embase database,case reports of AAP were collected and summarized in terms of patient demographics ,drug use ,incubation period and adverse reaction outcome. Combined with this case ,the disease characteristics and potential risk factors of AAP were analyzed and discussed. RESULTS After analysis and identification ,it was determined that AAP occurred in this patient. A total of 47 case reports were retrieved from the database ,and a total of 52 patients(including this patient )were included in the analysis ,including 29 males and 23 females,mainly minors (65.4%). L-asparaginase was the main asparaginase preparation that causes AAP (80.8%). Gastrointestinal symptoms were the main prodromal symptoms (92.3%),which could be accompanied by other asparaginase related adverse reactions. AAP could occur after 1-33 times of administration ,and the median latency was 14 days after administration;compared with children ,median latency of AAP in adult patients was shortened significantly (11 d vs. 16 d,P= 0.049);the median latency of AAP had longer tendency in patients treated with pegaspargase than that of L-asparaginase (17 d vs. 12.5 d,P=0.490). Of the cases included in the analysis ,8 patients died due to AAP ,1 of which was related to re-exposure to asparaginase preparations. CONCLUSIONS Acute pancreatitis is a serious and potentially fatal adverse drug reaction of ; asparaginase preparations. Clinical medical staff should pay attention to the characteristics of AAP ,consider the possibility : of AAP when the patients have gastrointestinal symptoms and do a good job in patient education and pharmaceutical care to minimize the damage caused by AAP to patients.

OBJECTIVE:To study the spectrum-effect relationship of the antipyretic effect of Radix Bupleuri injection. METH-ODS:HPLC method was used to establish the fingerprint of Radix Bupleuri injection. The antipyretic effect of 10 batches of Radix Bupleuri injection on fever rats induced by dried yeast were determined respectively. The fingerprint peaks were screened,along with the temperature value of different time points(0,10,15,30,40,55,70 min). The principal components were extracted by principal component method and the indirect relationship between the fingerprint and antipyretic effect was analyzed,depending on the principal component correlation coefficient matrix. RESULTS:There were 39 common peaks in fingerprint(similarity>0.85), No. 8,12,14,19,26,31,34,35 and 39 common peaks with large peak area were included in the study. Four principal compo-nents were extracted by principal component analysis(87% of total variant). First principal component showed that the active com-ponents of the 12th peak may be related to the antipyretic effect of 6 to 13 hours. The second principal component showed that the active components of the 26th peak may be related to the antipyretic effect of 0.5 to 5 hours. The third principal component showed that the similar effect of the active components could be caused by 34th,35th and 39th peaks. The fourth principal component sug-gested that there were some similarities between the 14th and the 31st peaks. CONCLUSIONS:Radix Bupleuri injection have obvi-ous improvement for fever rats. There is certain corresponding relation between HPLC fingerprint and antipyretic effect of Radix Bu-pleuri injection .
