Objective To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of erlotinib for the elderly with Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Databases including The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CBM, VIP, CNKI and WanFang Data were electronically searched for relevant randomized controlled trails (RCTs). Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed the methodological quality. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.0 software. Results Totally 5 studies were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, the objective response rate and stable disease rate was similar between the erlotinib group and the control group with no significant difference (RR=0.99, 95%CI 0.34 to 2.93, P=0.99; RR=1.17, 95%CI 0.95 to 1.43, P=0.14). The incidences of Grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were lower in the erlotinib group than those in the control group (OR=0.12, 95%CI 0.03 to 0.52, P=0.005; OR=0.19, 95%CI 0.04 to 0.91, P=0.04); and the incidences of nausea and vomiting as wel as liver impairments were alike between the two groups (OR=0.93, 95%CI 0.12 to 7.08, P=0.95; OR=0.80, 95%CI 0.24 to 2.68, P=0.71); the incidences of diarrhea and skin rashes in the erlotinib group were higher (OR=5.96, 95%CI 1.28 to 27.88, P=0.02; OR=6.77, 95%CI 1.52 to 30.10, P=0.01). Conclusion Current evidence shows that, erlotinib is effective and safe in treating the elderly with NSCLC with better effects and no serious adverse reaction. However, due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high quality studies with large sample size and long-term follow-up are still needed to verify the above conclusion.

Methods MEDLINE, EMbase, SCI, CBM and the Cochrane library were searched and randomized controlled trials (RCT) of low-dose versus standard-dose tacrolimus immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplant recipients were gathered. The search was updated in December 2009. Quality assessment and meta-analysis were performed. Results A total of three RCT were identified, two of which were graded A and one was graded B. The analysis results indicated that RR (95%CI) value of the acute rejection rate was 1.39 (0.64, 3.01); glomerular filtration rate, patient/graft survival rate, and safety analysis were not significant different between the two groups. Conclusion Based on the evidence currently, compared to standard-dose TAC, Low-dose TAC has the same effect and safety results, but further study are needed to get the long term results.

Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of cyclosporine A (CsA) for aplastic anemia (AA) in China. Methods Randomized controlled trails (RCTs) of CsA for AA were collected from CBMdisc (1978 to 2008), CNKI (1979 to 2008), and VIP (1989 to 2008). Other relevant journals were also hand searched. The methodological quality of included studies was evaluated, and data analyses were performed with The Cochrane Collaboration’s software RevMan 4.2.0. Results A total of 19 RCTs were included. As for the total effective rate and complete remission rate, significant differences were noted between CsA + androgen vs. androgen alone, CsA + androgen combination vs. androgen combination, as well as CsA + androgen + other drugs vs. androgen + other drugs [total effective rate: RRs and 95%CIs were 1.48 (1.28 to 1.70), 1.67 (1.17 to 2.39), and 1.51 (1.09 to 2.08); complete remission rate: RRs and 95%CIs were 2.06 (1.33 to 3.19), 3.52 (1.19 to 10.39), and 1.54 (1.00 to 2.38)]. Conclusion According to the domestic evidence, treatment with CsA for AA may improve the total effective rate and complete remission rate. However, more high quality clinical trials are expected for further study.
Objective To find out the beneficial and harmful effectiveness of tacrolimus (TAC) compared with cyclosporine A (CSA) for simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant (SPKT) recipients. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of TAC versus CSA for SPKT recipients were collected from The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMbase, SCI, and CBM database. Bias risk assessment and meta-analysis were performed based on the methods recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration. Results Five RCTs including 342 recipients were included. Pooled data of pancreas survival favored TAC (RR=1.15, 95%CI 1.04 to 1.27; RD=0.11, 95%CI 0.03 to 0.19). However, there were no significant differences of acute rejection (RR=0.81, 95%CI 0.58 to 1.12), patient survival (RR=1.00, 95%CI 0.94 to 1.05), kidney survival (RR=1.02, 95%CI 0.95 to 1.09), and infection (RR=1.00, 95%CI 0.83 to 1.20). Conclusion Based on the recent evidence, TAC results in higher episodes of pancreas survival compared with CSA after SPKT. Treating 100 patients with TAC instead of CSA would increase pancreas survival in 11 recipients.
Objective To collect and analyze the data of emergency medicine supply for both Wenchuan and Lushan earthquakes victims in the West China Hospital, so as to provide evidence for scientifically and efficiently carrying out the logistical support for emergency rescue medicines supply, and improving the coping capacity for those similar public health emergencies. Methods Both medicine constituent ratios and DDDs were taken as evaluation indexes, and the data were input by Excel software. Then the following items were analyzed: the use and cost of emergency medicine for victims admitted in the hospital from one day to one month after earthquake, as well as, the acceptance, allocation and use of the donation medicines for both Wenchuan and Lusan earthquakes. Results During the first month after Lushan earthquake, the victims used 26 categories of medicines involving 455 drug specifications in the West China Hospital. The dosage and DDDs of therapeutic medicines were higher than those of ancillary medicines. The donation medicines for Lushan earthquake accepted by the hospital were in 8 categories involving 16 drug specifications, and they were all used to rescue the victims in the hospital. Based on the hospital emergency medicine supply system oriented by the information of victim’s medicine use, the drug specification and total drug cost of the donation medicines for Lushan earthquake decreased by 90.91% and 89.73%, respectively, indicating a more accurate and efficient system compared with those for Wenchuan earthquake. Conclusion The implementation of the hospital emergency medicine supply system oriented by the information of victim’s medicine use is helpful to improve the time efficiency and pertinence of earthquake medical rescue.
