[Analysis and thinking on status of quality standard of ethnic medicine].
The establishing and improving of quality standards for ethnic medicine have close relation with the safety and efficacy of clinical medicine. It is significant to promote the modernization and industrialization of ethnic medicine. This paper summarized the present status of quality standards for ethnic medicine, and pointed out the deficiency of ethnic medicine; the origin of medicinal materials was not clear and varieties were confused; the safety research of mineral drug was weak and so on. ⋯ Further, much attention should be payed to protection of natural medicinal resources and sustainable utilization. Lastly, modern chemical analysis technology shouled be used during the research process on the basis of ethnic characteristics. It will promote the establishment and improvement of quality standards for ethnic medicine and will be benificial to modernization and industrialization development of ethnic medicine.

[Translation and introduction of Guide to Methodological Standards in Pharmacoepidemiology].
Post-marketing pharmacovigilance of drugs has become one of the most important activities for regulatory authorities. In China, pharmacovigilance is currently receiving the attention of government, pharmaceutical industries and the public. ⋯ As advice includes: legal and ethical requirements, general aspects of study protocols, research questions, approaches to data collection, study designs and methods, statistical and epidemiological analysis plans, quality control and quality assurance, reporting of adverse events to regulatory authorities, communication of findings, and so on. The translation and introduction of this guidance can provide a useful technical and methodological reference for us to carry out the pharmacovigilance (especially for parenterally administered Chinese medicine safety monitoring).

[Research on early warning signals of adverse drug reactions to parenterally administered xiyanping based on spontaneous reporting system (SRS) data].
This article focused on early warning signals regarding the safety of parenterally administered Xiyanping. The study data was obtained from reports made between 2005-2012 from the national spontaneous reporting system (SRS). Proportion reporting ratio (PRR) and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN) algorithms were used to analyse: erythra, pruritus, anaphylactoid reactions and shiver with cold, these 4 adverse drug reactions had a total count of more than 500 events. ⋯ Pruritus was an early warning signal in the second season of 2009, and anaphylactoid reaction was an early warning signal in the fourth season of 2011 and in the second season of 2012. There was however no early warning signal indicated by shiver with cold. This data indicates that erythra maybe an adverse drug reactions to parenterally administered Xiyanping, and if the incidence rate of pruritus and anaphylactoid reaction rises attention should be paid to its safety.

[Based on propensity score methods analysis of outcomes of parenterally administered shuxuetong in treatment of cerebral infarction].
Hospital information system (HIS) data from 18 hospitals was analyzed. 107 723 cases were divided into two groups, those that received Shuxuetong and those that did not. Patients, 18 to 80 years old, suffering from cerebral infarction, whose treatment outcome was clear were selected. ⋯ The three methods of comparison indicated that the use of Shuxuetong significantly increased cure rates compared to the control group. Therefore, based on existing data, for the treatment of cerebral infarction, the outcomes are more effective when combination therapy including Shuxuetong is used.

[Spontaneous reporting system data analysis of parenterally administered Shenmai].
Spontaneous reporting system (SRS) datais currently an important source of monitoring and finding ADRs signals throughout the world. This method can promptly and effectively discover ADR signals, thus preventing and avoiding ADRs effectively. Parenterally administered Shenmai has the functions of benefiting vital energy, nourishing Yin and generating body fluids, and activating the pulse. ⋯ Early warning signs of an ADR are, a feeling of suffocation (difficulty exhaling), anaphylactoid reactions and flushing. Furthermore, relevant relationships between the different factors is analysed by association rules (AR). It is found that there is a close relationship between past history of ADRs, a family history of ADRs and itching.
