[Analysis of Injection of Xuesaitong (lyophilized) in 30097 cases in real world].

To investigate the extensive application of Injection of Xuesaitong(lyophilized) in clinical real world study, and provide basis for clinical guidance on rational drug use and improvement of drug instructions. A prospective, multi-center, large-sample hospital centralized monitoring method was adopted to collect the general information and medication information of all patients who received Injection of Xuesaitong(lyophilized) during the study period in the respective monitoring units. Data analysis was performed using SAS 9.1 software. This study included 79 hospitals, with 30 097 patients being recruited. The patients who met the indications for stroke and hemiplegia accounted for 31.18%, those who experienced indications of chest pain and heartache accounted for 23.15%, and patients with central retinal vein occlusion indication accounted for 0.53%. The minimum single dose of Injection of Xuesaitong(lyophilized) was 20 mg, the maximum single dose was 1 000 mg, and the average single dose was(383.31±78.10) mg. 69.96% of the patients used 0.9% sodium chloride as the menstruum, 28.78% of the patients used 5% glucose as the menstruum, and 0.19% of the patients used 10% glucose as the menstruum. The minimum time for Injection of Xuesaitong(lyophilized) to dissolve is 0 min, 120 min maximally, and(14.26±13.73) min on an average basis. Patients using Injection of Xuesaitong(lyophilized) by intravenous drip accounted for 99.93%, with a slowest drip rate of 10 drops per min, fastest drip rate of 80 drops per min, and an average of(43.91±10.77) drops per min. Injection of Xuesaitong(lyophilized) was used for a minimum of 1 day and a maximum of 80 days, with an average of(8.22±5.12) days. Combined use with other injections accounted for 80.67%, 47.14% of them flushed the tube and 3.31% of them replaced infusion sets. The study found 40 cases of adverse reactions in patients with Injection of Xuesaitong(lyophilized), with an overall incidence of 0.13%(0.09% to 0.17%) for adverse reactions. In the real world application, the usage of Injection of Xuesaitong(lyophilized) basically meets the requirement of drug instructions in terms of indications, dosages, and methods of administration. However, it still needs to be improved in standardizing the selection of the menstruum, drip rate, course of treatment, and the combined usage of medicine.

[Post-marketing intensive safety monitoring of Injection of Xuesaitong (lyophilized) in 30097 cases].

To investigate the safety of Injection of Xuesaitong(lyophilized) in clinical "real world" application, including the types, incidence, as well as the severity and treatment measures of adverse reactions/adverse events. This will serve as a basis for hospitals and enterprises to develop risk control measures. A prospective, multi-center, and large-sample hospital centralized monitoring method was used to conduct post-marketing safety monitoring of Injection of Xuesaitong(lyophilized) in medical institutions nationwide. Paper case report forms were adopted to collect general information, medication and adverse reaction information of patients using Injection of Xuesaitong(lyophilized). Data analysis was performed by using SAS 9.1 software. The study included 79 hospitals with 30 097 patients. 199 cases of adverse events were found in patients administered with Injection of Xuesaitong(lyophilized), a total of 206 times. Among 199 cases, 40 of them showed adverse reactions, accounting for an overall incidence of 0.13% and 95%CI[0.09%,0.17%], which was an occasional grade. There were 38 cases of mild adverse reactions, accounting for 95.0%, 2 cases of moderate adverse reactions, accounting for 5.0%. Adverse reaction symptoms were relieved in six patients, accounting for 15.0% of the total number of adverse reactions, adverse reaction symptoms disappeared in 34 cases, with an overall percentage of 85.0%. The results of the study showed the adverse reactions in patients using Injection of Xuesaitong(lyophilized) were rare and mild, with a good prognosis. Therefore, clinical administration of Injection of Xuesaitong(lyophilized) is relatively safe.

[Inhibition of Toxoplasma gondii excretory - secretory antigens on growth of murine Lewis lung carcinoma].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Toxoplasma gondii excretory-secretory antigens (ESA) on CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ T (Treg) cells in mice carrying Lewis lung carcinoma, and examine the inhibitory effect of T. gondii ESA on tumor growth. METHODS: C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned into the PBS group (n = 14) and the Lewis group (n = 34). Mice in the Lewis group were subcutaneously injected with 2 × 105 Lewis lung carcinoma cells in the right axilla, while animals in the PBS group were injected with the same volume of sterile PBS. On day 7 post-injection (D7), mice in the PBS group were further divided into the PBS2 group and the PBS2 + ESA group, of 7 mice in each group, and mice in the Lewis group were further divided into the Lewis2 group and the Lewis2 + ESA group, of 17 mice in each group. Then, mice in the PBS2 + ESA group and the Lewis2 + ESA group were intraperitoneally injected with 100 µL of ESA. The mouse spleen coefficient was calculated in each group 7 days post-injection with ESA, and the changes of Treg cell counts and the long-term tumor growth were measured in tumor-bearing mice. RESULTS: The spleen coefficient was significantly greater in the PBS2 + ESA group and the Lewis2 + ESA group than in the PBS2 (0.66% ± 0.09% vs. 0.30% ± 0.02%, P < 0.05) and Lewis2 groups (0.69% ± 0.07% vs. 0.33% ± 0.03%, P < 0.05) 7 days post-treatment with ESA, respectively, and the percentage of splenic Treg cells in splenocytes was significantly lower in the PBS2 + ESA group and the Lewis2 + ESA group than in the PBS2 (1.28% ± 0.14% vs. 2.06% ± 0.07%, P < 0.05) and Lewis2 groups (1.58% ± 0.14% vs. 2.44% ± 0.23%, P < 0.05), respectively. T. gondii ESA treatment caused a delay in tumor growth, and the tumor size was significantly smaller in the Lewis2 + ESA group than in the Lewis2 group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: T. gondii ESA may reduce the proportion of splenic Treg cells in splenocytes and inhibit tumor growth in mice carrying Lewis lung carcinoma.

Review of Atlanticus Scudder, 1894 (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Tettigoniinae) from China, with description of 27 new species.

Atlanticus Scudder illustrates a disjunctive distribution comprising 1 subgenus and 10 valid species from eastern North America and 2 subgenera and 14 valid species from eastern Asia. Several authors also predicted that it would appear that China was rich in new species of the genus Atlanticus. Based on investigation of male stridulatory apparatus, as well as previously used characters, including male and female abdominal apex and measurements of various structures, we present a taxonomic account of 43 species of Atlanticus from China. Twenty-seven species of Atlanticus new to science are described. Erroneous synonyms are noted, based on examination of topotypes. Atlanticus changi Tinkham, 1941 and Atlanticus pieli Tinkham, 1941 are valid species and not synonyms of Atlanticus kiangsu Ramme, 1939. Atlanticus jeholensis Mori, 1935 is also valid and not a synonym of Atlanticus sinensis Uvarov, 1924. Moreover, the supposedly important character, i.e., length comparison between male pronotum and tegmen, is not suitable for differentiating two subgenera of Atlanticus, because it is easy to cause confusion. In contrast, the architecture of the male tegmen is a useful character to differentiate the two subgenera. The previous mentioned Species Groups and the corresponding descriptions are also studied. Necessary illustrations are provided.
