[Pathogenesis of ferroptosis on chronic kidney disease and traditional Chinese medicine intervention: a review].

Chronic kidney disease(CKD) is an insidious disease that has become a significant global public health issue due to its high incidence rate, low awareness, low diagnostic rate, poor prognosis, and high medical costs. Recent studies have shown that CKD development is associated with varying degrees of ferroptosis features. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) can regulate iron metabolism, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant systems to inhibit ferroptosis and delay the progression of CKD.

Clinical comprehensive evaluation of direct oral anticoagulants for patients with atrial fibrillation in China.

Background: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are increasingly recommended over warfarin in stroke prevention for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). However, there is an important evidence gap in choosing the most appropriate DOAC for Chinese patients in clinical practice.

Methods: A multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) was adopted to build a scoring framework.

Prescribing Trends of Oral Anticoagulants from 2010 to 2020 in Shanghai, China: A Retrospective Study.

Aim: Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) were developed as an alternative to warfarin to prevent thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), prosthetic heart valves, venous thromboembolism (VTE), or other thrombotic disorders. The aim of this study is to explore the trends in prescribing OACs, including warfarin and NOACs, in Shanghai, China.

Methods: Prescription data of OACs were retrospectively collected from Rx Analysis System from 2010 to 2020 in Shanghai, China.

Toxicity spectrum of immunotherapy in advanced lung cancer: A safety analysis from clinical trials and a pharmacovigilance system.

Background: With the increased use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in advanced lung cancer, adverse events (AEs), particularly immune-related AEs (irAEs), have garnered considerable interest. We conducted a comprehensive assessment of the toxicity profile in advanced lung cancer using multi-source medical data.

Methods: First, we systematically searched the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases (from inception to 10 August 2021) for relevant randomised controlled trials (RCTs) involving ICI-based treatments for advanced lung cancer.

Framework Development for Clinical Comprehensive Evaluation of Drugs-a Study Protocol Using the Delphi Method and Analytic Hierarchy Process.

Measuring the value of drugs to help make health-care decisions is a complex process which involves confronting trade-offs among multiple objectives. Although guidelines have been released for clinical comprehensive evaluation of drugs, refinement is required when considering a specific drug used in a specific disease. In this study, a two-level framework for clinical comprehensive evaluation of drugs will be developed.
