Objectives: To determine the characteristics of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in children.
Methods: Reported ADRs in the patients aged from 0-18 years were extracted from the 2012-2014 Sichuan ADR surveillance system.The time trend,category of ADRs [system organ class (SOC)],outcomes,and demographic characteristics of the patients were analyzed.
Results: The reported paediatric ADRs increased over time;most occurred in males (7 709,56.40%) and preschool children (5 928,43.37%).The majorities involved intravenous drips (8 492,62.13%) and skin and appendages (7 510,55.10%).About 267 (1.95%) cases were deemed as serious ADRs,most (120,44.94%) involving whole body consequences.The majority (13 515,98.87%) of patients recovered.But deaths (5,0.04%) were also reported.
Conclusions: Pediatric ADRs are associated with young age (less than 5 years old) and intravenous drips.Serious ADRs should be identified for early interventions.

Globally, drug-impaired driving fatalities now exceed those from drunk driving, urging the need for on-site and roadside detection methods. In this study, a photothermal desorption and reagent-assisted low-temperature plasma ionization miniature ion trap mass spectrometer (PDRA-LTP-ITMS) was developed for on-site detection of drug-impaired driving. The pseudomultiple reaction monitoring (MRM) in PDRA-LTP-ITMS enables continuous ion selection during ion introduction and improved sensitivity to nearly 3-fold compared with the conventional full scan mode.

Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness, demands innovative and effective treatments that surpass the limitations of current drug and surgical interventions to lower intraocular pressure. This study describes the generation of cell-repellent hydrogel patches, their deposition on the ocular surface, and a photoinduced chemical binding between the patches and the collagens of the eye. The hydrophilic and protein-repellent hydrogel patch is composed of a copolymer made from dimethylacrylamide and a comonomer unit with anthraquinone moieties.

Combination therapy, which synergistically enhances treatment efficacy and inhibits disease progression through the combined effects of multiple drugs, has emerged as a mainstream approach for treating complex diseases and alleviating symptoms. However, drug-drug interactions (DDIs) can sometimes lead to adverse reactions, potentially endangering lives. Therefore, developing efficient and accurate DDI prediction methods is crucial for elucidating drug mechanisms and preventing side effects.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intra-articular vancomycin powder in reducing prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) in primary hip and knee arthroplasty through a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods: A research in Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane databases was performed to identify randomized clinical trials comparing intra-articular vancomycin use to conventional antibiotic prophylaxis in total hip or knee arthroplasty patients, assessing postoperative infection rates, adverse drug reactions, and venous thrombotic events. Statistical analysis was performed using R (RStudio 2024.
