[Rationality analysis of clinical application of Danhong injection in affiliated hospital of Nanjing university of Chinese medicine from 2013 to 2014].
It is necessary to investigate the influence of the rationality of clinical drug use on the benefit and risk factors of traditional Chinese medicine injections. The retrospective survey was based on the medical records and information of 4 950 patients who used Danhong injection in the HIS database of the first affiliated hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from 2013 to 2014. The basic statistical methods and associated rules analysis were utilized to analyze the HIS information of these patients, including the basic information, the diagnosis, the department, the dosage, the usage of medication, the drug combination and the adverse reactions. ⋯ And 12 cases of adverse reactions were reported, with the ADR rate of 0.24%. The indications, solvent compatibility and irrational drug combination may be the potential risk factors for ADRs induced by Danhong injection. Further experiments are required to evaluate the benefits and risks in these three aspects.

Review[Application of drug-target prediction technology in network pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine].
In recent years, network pharmacology has been developed rapidly, and especially, the concept of ″network target″ has brought a new era in the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The integrity and systematicness emphasized in network pharmacology comply with the characteristics of holistic view and treatment in Chinese medicine. It can provide deeper insights into the underlying mechanisms of TCM theories, including the illustration on action mechanism of Chinese medicine, selection of pharmacodynamic materials and the combination principles of various Chinese herbs, etc. ⋯ Many virtual screening technologies have been successfully applied to network pharmacology. Based on different prediction principles, drug-target prediction technology can be generally divided into four types： ligand-based prediction, receptor-based prediction, machine learning and combined prediction. In this paper, we are going to review the prediction methods of drug-target interactions and give acomprehensive elaboration of their application in network pharmacology of TCM, hoping to provide beneficial references for various Chinese medicine researchers.

Meta Analysis[Meta-analysis on effect of Shenfu injection in treating angina pectoris].
To systematically evaluate the efficiency and safety of Shenfu injection in treating patients with angina pectoris. Retrievals were made in Embase, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Clinical Trials.gov, CNKI, CBM, VIP and Wanfang (before September 2015) for randomized or semi-randomized controlled trials reporting data of Shenfu injection in the adjuvant treatment of angina pectoris. The quality of included trials was evaluated according to tool evaluation at cochrane.org. ⋯ In the Meta-regression analysis, the average age of patients was positively correlated with the improved clinical (β=0.17) and electrocardiogram (β=1.15) efficacies. Major complication rate of Shenfu injection was 3.4%, and no serious adverse events were reported. Current clinical evidence in this study proved that Shenfu injection could significantly improve clinical symptoms and ECG ischemic changes for angina pectoris patients, with a good safety.

[Analysis of clinical use of post-marketing hospital centralized monitoring of Xiyanping injection].
To assess the clinical use and occurrence of adverse reactions of Xiyanping injection, and to provide reference for rational drug use in the clinic. Based on hospital central monitoring method, the clinical data of Xiyanping injection in our hospital in 2014 was tracked and analyzed. A total of 848 inpatients were enrolled in this study. ⋯ The incidence of ADR of Xiyanping injection was 0.12%, which showed good safety. Irrational use of Xiyanping injection existed in clinics, and the use should be strengthened and regulated. The manufacturer should improve the drug instruction of usage and dosage.

[Data mining analysis of regularity of formulas containing Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma-Carthami Flos medicin pair in Dictionary of Chinese Medicine Prescription].
In this study, formulas containing Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma-Carthami Flos in the database of Dictionary of Chinese Medicine Prescription (DCMP) were extracted by using traditional Chinese medicine inheritance support system (TCMISS). The drugs pairs and formula composition rules were analyzed with data mining methods, such as association rules, improved mutual information method and complex system entropy clustering. Totally 39 formulas were included in this study and involved 280 Chinese medicines. ⋯ Six core medicinal pairs were obtained through clustering analysis, namely Danshen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma)-Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma)-Honghua (Carthami Flos), Danshen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma)-Baishao (Radix Paeoniae Alba)-Honghua (Carthami Flos), Danshen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma)-Danggui (A. sinensis)-Xiagnfu (Cyperi Rhizoma)-Honghua (Carthami Flos), Danshen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma)-Danggui (A. sinensis)-Baishao (Radix Paeoniae Alba)-Honghua (Carthami Flos), Honghua (Carthami Flos)-Danshen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma)-Baishao (Radix Paeoniae Alba)-Danggui (A. sinensis), Danshen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma)-Baishao (Radix Paeoniae Alba)-Honghua (Carthami Flos)-Danggui (A. sinensis). The support degree was set at 11 (38.46%), with a confidence coefficient of 80%, and then 38 associated pairs were screened. These results suggested that Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Carthami Flos is often combined with herbs for activating blood and promoting circulation of qi to treat gynecopathy, stasis blood pain syndrome, stroke and other syndromes.
