The Impact of Prescribing Monitoring Policy on Drug Use and Expenditures in China: A Multi-center Interrupted Time Series Study.

Background: A prescribing monitoring policy (PMP) was implemented in November 2015 in Anhui province, China, the first province to pilot this policy to manage the use and costs of select drugs based on their large prescription volumes and/ or costs in hospitals. This study evaluated the impact of PMP on the use and expenditures of different drugs in three tertiary hospitals in Anhui.

Methods: We obtained monthly drug use and expenditures data from three tertiary hospitals in Anhui (November 2014 through September 2017).

Genetic variants of and ischemic clinical outcomes in coronary artery disease patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The aim of this study was to assess the association between  polymorphisms and ischemic clinical outcomes. We searched the electronic database for articles on the relationship of SNPs and ischemic events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) up to October 2020. A total of 9914 patients with CAD from six studies focusing on 12 SNPs of PEAR1 were included in this study.

Bioconversion of citrus peel wastes into bioflocculants and their application in the removal of microcystins.

In this study, the mechanism for converting citrus peel wastes (CPW) into bioflocculants using Alcaligenes faecalis subsp. phenolicus ZY-16 was analysed. The results demonstrated that the ZY-16 strain could produce various lignocellulolytic enzymes, containing cellulase, hemicellulase, pectinase, protease, and ligninase, enhancing the hydrolysis of citrus peel wastes.
