As one of the smallest organs in mammalian, hair follicles are highly susceptible to stress. Under stress, the sympathetic nerves release norepinephrine (NA), which acts directly on the β-2 adrenergic receptors on melanocyte stem cells (MeSCs) within the hair follicles, causing the MeSCs to lose quiescence and enter a rapid proliferation state followed by differentiation and migration, leading to rapid loss of MeSCs and, ultimately, grey hair. Here, we screened out β-2 blockers forming the ZINC 15 compound database, found a natural product isoliensinine, and was effective in preventing stress-induced hair greying in mice. The study sheds light on the development of products that use natural compounds to prevent stress-induced hair greying.","PeriodicalId":15381,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42221634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate the changes of the types and daily costs of topical antiglaucoma medications from 2006 to 2021 in China, providing evidence for optimizing treatment regimen and medical insurance policy. Methods. The types of topical antiglaucoma drugs except complementary and traditional medicines and associated price information were collected from the largest pharmaceutical database in China (YAOZH database). The daily costs of each drug, the average income level, and the daily cost of topical antiglaucoma medications relative with daily disposable income were calculated and compared between 2006 and 2021. Results. The options of topical antiglaucoma drugs increased remarkably to 32 types in 2021, of which prostaglandin analogs comprised the largest proportion (31.25%). There were 10 types of the same brand drugs available in 2006 and 2021, the mean daily cost of which decreased from $0.39 ± 0.30 to $0.28 ± 0.23 (\u0000 \u0000 p\u0000 <\u0000 0.001\u0000 \u0000 ). As the average daily disposable income of Chinese residents grew greatly, the proportion of the daily cost of topical antiglaucoma medications in daily disposable income in 2021 declined significantly from 32.52% to 5.78% (all the drugs, \u0000 \u0000 p\u0000 <\u0000 0.001\u0000 \u0000 ) and 3.94% (without unit dose package, \u0000 \u0000 p\u0000 <\u0000 0.001\u0000 \u0000 ) in rural areas and from 9.95% to 2.31% (all the drugs, \u0000 \u0000 p\u0000 <\u0000 0.001\u0000 \u0000 ) and 1.57% (without unit dose package, \u0000 \u0000 p\u0000 <\u0000 0.001\u0000 \u0000 ) in urban areas.

CYP2C19 is an important influencing factor for voriconazole trough plasma concentration (Cmin); however, it is not verified in Child–Pugh C (CP-C) cirrhosis patients, and no voriconazole dosage regimen is recommended for these patients in the package insert. This retrospective study identified CYP2C19 and other factors influencing voriconazole Cmin for CP-C cirrhosis, and obtained an appropriate method of application of voriconazole for them. Methods. A total of 66 patients with CP-C cirrhosis who accepted voriconazole therapy were involved. The voriconazole Cmin, clinical characteristics, CYP2C19 genotype, and adverse effects (AEs) were recorded and analyzed. Results. Unlike other research studies, voriconazole Cmin was not different among normal metabolizers (NMs), intermediate metabolizers (IMs), and poor metabolizers (PMs) of the CYP2C19 enzyme in CP-C cirrhosis (\u0000 \u0000 P\u0000 \u0000 > 0.05). The maintenance dose regimen for voriconazole was the only independent influencing factor for Cmin (\u0000 \u0000 P\u0000 \u0000 = 0.045; OR = 3.753; 95% CI, 1.029–13.694). At about 1/3 of the recommended maintenance dose, only 16.7% (8/48) had Cmin >5.5 μg/mL, 4.5% (3/48) had Cmin <1 μg/mL, and only one AE happened. There were four voriconazole-related AEs that happened in this study, and three AEs occurred (3/4, 75%) when the maintenance dose was not adjusted with therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). What Is New and Conclusion. Voriconazole Cmin did not significantly vary according to CYP2C19 enzyme metabolization status (being an NM, IM, or PM) in CP-C cirrhosis. Reducing the maintenance dose of voriconazole to approximately 1/3 the standard maintenance dose and administering in combination with TDM in patients with CP-C cirrhosis are recommended.","PeriodicalId":15381,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48999655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary cause of trabeculectomy failure in glaucoma surgery is the imperfect formation of the filter bubble, which blocks the filtration effect. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the effects and safety of mitomycin C (MMC) or no antimetabolite in trabeculectomies cases that require needling revision. Methods. We searched PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE to identify randomized trials published between the time the databases were built and May 31, 2022. To compare the effectiveness and safety of mitomycin with or without mitomycin in trabeculectomy, intraocular pressure (IOP), the surgical failure rate, and functional follicle formation were used as efficacy indicators, and the occurrence of postoperative complications was used as a safety indicator. Meta-analyses were performed for comparisons. Results and Discussion. After trabeculectomy, MMC was significantly better than a placebo at lowering postoperative IOP (MD = −11.31 mmHg, 95% CI −19.73 to −2.88 mmHg). MMC outperformed the control group in terms of filtering blebs formation (relative risk (RR) = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.09 to 1.27). The surgical failure rate was significantly lower with MMC compared to placebo (RR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.22 to 0.58). No significant difference was observed between MMC and placebo in terms of hypotony, anterior chamber bleeding, filter bubble leakage, and endophthalmitis, apart from the shallow anterior chamber (RR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.02 to 2.25).

Appropriate doses of sedatives are crucial for a successful, painless upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Hence, we conducted a randomized controlled study to explore the effects of dezocine on the median effective dose (ED50) of the etomidate-propofol (E-P) mixture in prohibiting response to gastroscope insertion in patients of different genders. Methods. Patients aged 18–65 years enrolled in the study of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) with physical status I or II undergoing elective gastroscopy were included. Patients were randomly assigned to the male normal saline group (MS group), male dezocine group (MD group), female normal saline group (FS group), and female dezocine group (FD group). All patients were anesthetized with an E-P mixture of 1 : 1. The FD and MD groups were intravenously injected (i.v.) 50 µg/kg dezocine 5 min before anesthesia, while the FS and MS groups were injected with an equal volume of normal saline 5 min before anesthesia. According to the preexperiment, the initial dose of the E-P mixture for the FD and MD groups was 0.4 and 0.3 mL/kg for the FS and MS groups. The variation proportion was set as 0.9 between dosages. Dixon’s up-and-down method was adopted to confirm the dose of the E-P mixture for the next patient, which was reduced if the insertion was performed successfully; otherwise, the dose was increased. Centered isotonic regression was employed to determine the ED50 and 90% confidence interval (CI) values of the E-P mixture in the four groups. The total amount of E-P mixture consumed was recorded as well as the adverse events of patients. Results. The ED50 and 90% CI of the MS, MD, FS, and FD groups were 0.315 (0.285–0.349), 0.206 (0.175–0.237), 0.329 (0.305–0.355), and 0.207 (0.188–0.227) mL/kg, respectively.

Chemoimmunotherapy has become the first-line treatment for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We aimed to compare the efficacy and toxicity of different chemoimmunotherapy combinations to determine the optimal treatment option. Methods. PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and abstracts of recent relevant meetings were searched to identify phase III randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of first-line programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/its receptor (PD-L1) inhibitors plus chemotherapy for ESCC up to July 2022. A network meta-analysis (NMA) following Bayesian approaches was conducted in R software. Result. Our study included six RCTs and 3,611 patients. According to the NMA, toripalimab plus chemotherapy ranked first to prolong overall survival (OS). Sintilimab plus chemotherapy and camrelizumab plus chemotherapy consistently yielded the greatest benefits regarding progression-free survival (PFS). The maximal complete response rate (CRR) and objective response rate (ORR) were achieved with nivolumab plus chemotherapy. Tislelizumab plus chemotherapy attained the highest likelihood of achieving a disease control rate (DCR).
