How to identify haloperidol and tiapride in the urine by thin layer chromatography was proposed. Optimal systems of solvents were selected by chromatographic mobility of the substances studied in 14 solvents with different polarity. The findings allowed making an optimal choice of the composition and proportion of the solvents. Diethylamine, as a basic modifier, was introduced in the system of solvents. This improved chromatographic mobility of haloperidol and tiapride. Optimal mobile phases, developers were found, the threshold of detectability of the substances in the given conditions was established. The techniques were used for identification of haloperidol and tiapride in the samples from model urine mixture in the presence of non-identified endogenic compounds. They are characterized by rapid performance, selectivity, sensitivity and good reproducibility and can be introduced into practice of chemicotoxicological laboratories.

Background: Antipsychotics are used in a large variety of psychiatric and neurological disorders; investigating their use in real life is important to understand national prescribing practices, as well as to determine the levels of patient adherence.
Methods: Using a 1/97e random sample (General Sample of Beneficiaries, EGB) of the French health insurance reimbursement database, we conducted a historical cohort study on the 2007-2017 period. The aim was to describe the sociodemographic characteristics of patients, the types of antipsychotics dispensed, the types of prescribers, the mean doses and average durations of treatment, the co-dispensed medications, and the levels of adherence to treatment.

We report a case of a 69-year-old man with treatment-resistant diabetic chorea presenting psychiatric symptoms. The right chorea lasted for 3 months and was refractory to control of diabetes mellitus or administration of haloperidol and benzodiazepines. Only administration of tiapride was efficacious.

Survey pediatricians and guardians of children with tic disorder on medication needs and choices. We designed a cross-sectional survey for pediatricians in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, as well as for the guardians of patients with tic disorder from West China Second University Hospital. We collected and analyzed information on clinicians' medical behavior and medication choices and on guardians' knowledge of tic disorder, medical treatment behaviors, and medication choices and needs.
