Objective:To establish a complete system for the isolation, purification, identification, and culture of Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma-derived endothelial cells (KHE-ECs), to analyze the phenotype of KHE-ECs, and to explore the possibility of establishing a KHE-EC bank.Methods:A novel digestion solution for KHE tumors (patent number: CN202410500224.2) was formulated using collection fluid, Liberase TM and dispase stock solutions, and was used to process tumor tissues to obtain cells. High-purity KHE-ECs were purified using CD31 + immunomagnetic beads. The EGM-2 complete medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 2% penicillin-streptomycin solution was employed for cell culture. To verify the characteristics of KHE-ECs, immunofluorescence assay was conducted to determine the expression of endothelial cell-specific markers CD31 and CD34, KHE disease markers podoplanin (D2-40), prospero-related homeobox 1 (Prox-1), and lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1 (LYVE1), as well as an infantile hemangioma-specific diagnostic marker glucose transporter 1 (GLUT-1). Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) served as controls for the phenotype analysis of KHE-ECs, including cell viability, cytoskeleton, proliferation, migration, invasion, tube formation, and sprouting ability. Results:Primary cells were successfully isolated from KHE tumor tissues, and high-purity KHE-ECs were obtained by using CD31 + immunomagnetic beads. The cells exhibited typical spindle-shaped morphology and an adherent growth pattern. Immunofluorescence assay showed that KHE-ECs expressed CD31, CD34, D2-40, Prox-1, and LYVE1, but did not express GLUT-1. There were significant differences in cell morphology, cell viability, and cytoskeletal structures between KHE-ECs and HUVECs. Additionally, the KHE-EC group showed significantly increased percentages of proliferative cells (29.1% ± 2.5%), numbers of migratory cells (114.3 ± 9.4) and invasive cells (110.0 ± 6.1), tube length (32 121.0 ± 892.0 μm), and number of sprouting cells (25.0 ± 3.6) compared with the HUVEC group (13.0% ± 2.2%, 38.0 ± 3.6, 35.3 ± 2.3, 25 345.0 ± 448.1 μm, 5.0 ± 1.0, respectively, all P ≤ 0.001) . Conclusion:An innovative digestion solution specifically for KHE tumors was formulated for the first time, and high-purity and well-growing KHE-EC strains were successfully isolated and purified by using the novel digestion solution in combination with CD31 + immunomagnetic beads, providing a stable and reliable cell source for subsequent experimental studies on KHE and laying the foundation for establishing a KHE-EC bank.

In 2020,the Pharmaceutical Service Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association,the Respiratory Disease Branch of the Chinese Medical Association,and the Respiratory Physician Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Associ-ation jointly established the"Cough and Wheezing Pharmaceutical Care Clinic(CWPC)program".The specification on CWPC construction provides guidance and reference for improving the quality of cough and wheezing pharmaceutical care services.The Chinese Pharmaceutical Association Specifications on Cough and Wheeze Pharmaceutical Care Clinic construction covered two as-pects,the construction and service of CWPC,respectively.With the analysis of relevant standards,policies and regulations,tech-nical specifications,literature,and other materials,the specification standardized 19 key elements in the organization's construc-tion,service process,quality management,and evaluation improvement.This paper mainly analyzed the construction process and content of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association Specifications on Cough and Wheeze Pharmaceutical Care Clinic construction,to strengthen the publicity and implementation of the specification,deepen the understanding of the specification content,and pro-mote the implementation of the specification.

Objective To conduct a multidimensional evaluation of brain cytoprotection agents used in the treatment of ischemic stroke,and to provide an evidence-based basis of medication selection and rational clinical use for medical institutions'decision-makers.Methods Based on the"Quick Guide to Drug Evaluation and Selection for Chinese Medical Institutions(Second Edition)"evaluation system,some scoring rules were adjusted.Referring to drug instructions,clinical guidelines,and rel-evant literature from databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang Database,VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals(VIP),Pubmed,Embase,and Cochrane Library,seven brain cytoprotection agents were quantita-tively scored from five dimensions:pharmacological characteristics,effectiveness,safety,economic aspects,and other attributes(insurance coverage,essential drugs,manufacturing enterprises).Results Overall,the evaluated drugs received low scores.The top three drugs were edaravone and dexborneol injection(63.15 points),urinary kallidinogenase injection(62.20 points),and butylphthalide injection(62.04 points).Citicoline injection had the lowest score due to unclear effectiveness(37.07 points).Conclusions Based on guideline recommendations,edaravone and dexborneol,urinary kallidinogenase,and butylphthalide,which scored above 60,are weakly recommended when no alternative medications are available in medical institutions.This study can be used as a reference for the selection of therapeutic drugs for ischemic stroke in medical institutions and offer a basis for rational clinical medication use.

Objective:To explore the effect of concomitant amiodarone on the bleeding risk in atrial fibrillation patients treated with dabigatran etexilate.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of hospitalized patients with atrial fibrillation who took dabigatran etexilate in Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science & Technology from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 were collected. Patients were divided into concomitant amiodarone group and non concomitant amiodarone group according to whether they were treated with oral amiodarone. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed at a 1∶1 ratio in patients between the 2 groups according to patient's gender, age, main basic diseases and the number of basic diseases, baseline liver and kidney function, dosage of dabigatran etexilate, etc. The incidence of bleeding events was compared between the 2 groups.Results:A total of 878 patients were included in the study, including 568 males (64.7%) and 310 females (35.3%), with a age of 67 (59, 74) years. There were 252 patients (28.7%) in the concomitant amiodarone group and 626 patients (71.3%) in the non concomitant amiodarone group. Within 3 months of follow-up, the incidence of bleeding events in patients of concomitant and non concomitant amiodarone groups were 19.0% (48/252) and 21.2% (133/626), respectively, which were 19.0% (48/252) and 16.7% (40/239) after PSM, respectively, with no significant difference (all P>0.05). The main type of bleeding in patients of both groups was mild bleeding events [62.5% (30/48) vs. 67.5% (27/40)], and bleeding was more common in the gums, skin, and nose. There was no statistically significant difference in incidence of the bleeding types and bleeding sites of patients between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with patients with atrial fibrillation when treated with dabigatran etexilate and without concomitant amiodarone, the bleeding risk of patients with amiodarone did not significantly increased in the short term. The bleeding events during treatment of dabigatran etexilate were mainly mild bleeding, but clinical vigilance was still necessary.
