Association of Human Leukocyte Antigen Alleles and Hypersensitivity of Efavirenz/Nevirapine in HIV-Infected Chinese Patients.

To examine the association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and nevirapine (NVP)- and efavirenz (EFV)-induced cutaneous adverse reactions in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients, we conducted a case-control study at our center consisting of 96 patients. Patients were further assigned based on the occurrence of cutaneous adverse events and the drugs involved. All patients were subjected to next generation sequencing (NGS)-based screening with focus on HLA phenotype, including the presence of HLA-B, HLA-C, and HLA-DRB1.

Network Pharmacology-Based Investigation on the Mechanism of the JinGuanLan Formula in Treating Acne Vulgaris.

Background: JinGuanLan (JGL) formula is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) developed by the Department of Pharmacology at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University. The network pharmacology approach was applied to determine the potential active compounds, therapeutic targets, and main pathways of the JGL formula to evaluate its application value in acne vulgaris.

Methods: Data on the active compounds and their related targets were obtained from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP).
