    Objective To investigate the occurrence and outcomes of drug-induced liver injury in hospitalized patients and provide evidence for rational drug use in the clinic. Methods Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) reported between January 1, 2014 and July 31, 2022 was analyzed retrospectively. Cases of DILI adverse reactions were screened by setting inclusion and exclusion criteria before they were analyzed in terms of age, gender, clinical typing, RUCAM scores severity, regression, and drugs involved. Results A total of 201 268 hospitalizations were collected, and 448 inpatients with DILI adverse reactions were screened. The incidence of DILI adverse reactions was 0.22%. The male-to-female ratio was 1: 0.56. The mean age was (59.24±18.22) years old, and there was a significant difference between males and females in age (P< 0.05). The diseases were mostly infectious diseases (28.35%) and cerebrovascular diseases (27.46%), and the clinical manifestations were primarily non-specific. As for clinical types, the dominating type was hepatocyte injury (218 cases, 48.46%), followed by the mixed type (161 cases, 35.93%), and the cholestasis type (69 cases,15.40%). The RUCAM scale score averaged above 3 points, with 264 cases (58.93%) ≥6 points. There were significant differences in RUCAM scores and severity between the three clinical types. The levels of ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, TBIL and ALB were also significantly different between. The top three suspected types of drugs were cardio-cerebrovascular and lipid-regulating drugs, antibiotics and antipyretic analgesics. The top three suspected drugs were atorvastatin, rosuvastatin and moxifloxacin. There were 387 cases (86.38%) of mild liver injury according to the grading of severity. There were of 36 cases of moderate liver injury (8.04%), compared with 25 cases of severe liver injury (5.58%). The clinical outcomes were generally good after drug withdrawal/reduction and liver-protecting and symptomatic treatment. Conclusion Male, middle-aged and elderly patients are prone to DILI adverse reactions, especially mild to moderate liver injury. Clinical use of cardio-cerebrovascular and lipid-regulating drugs, antibiotics, antipyretic analgesics requires alertness to DILI adverse reactions.

    Objective To determine the effectiveness and range of optimal dosages of Lingyang Ganmao oral liquid for children, and to provide reference for medication in children. Methods Based on multi-animal models, five corresponding young animal models that targeted the major properties were used, including the mouse pneumonia model caused by influenza A (H1N1) virus infection, the mouse acute inflammation model for increased permeability of abdominal capillaries caused by glacial acetic acid, the mouse cough model caused by ammonia nebulization, the mouse pain model caused by glacial acetic acid and the rabbit fever model caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). To observe the antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antitussive, analgesic and antipyretic efficacy of Lingyang Ganmao oral liquid in six dosage groups, namely 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mL·kg-1·d-1 for human use (children's dosage).The animal dosages were calculated using the body surface area conversion formula, based on the human dose. For mice, the dosages were 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mL·kg-1·d-1, while for rabbits, the dosages were 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, and 3.0 mL·kg-1·d-1. The results are used to determine the optimal dose range for children. Results Lingyang Ganmao oral liquid could reduce lung indexes, inhibit capillary permeability, reduce the number of times mice coughed and writhed and help lower the body temperature of rabbits. The doses of stable efficacy ranged from 4.0 to 8.0 mL·kg-1·d-1 and from 1.2 to 2.4 mL·kg-1·d-1, respectively, which were equivalent to 0.4-0.8 mL·kg-1·d-1 for human use. Conclusion Lingyang Ganmao oral liquid produces stable and effective antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-cough, analgesic and antipyretic effects within the dose range of 0.4 to 0.8 mL·kg-1·d-1. The recommended dosage is 5mL each time and 1-2 times daily for children ages 1 to 3, 5mL each time and 1-3 times daily for those ages 4 to 6, and 5mL each time and 2-4 times daily for those between 7 and 12.
