OBJECTIVE To summarize the implementation experiences of the China Hospital Association’s Clinical Pharmacist Instructor Training Program Reform, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the reform, thus continuously enhancing the quality and standards of clinical pharmacist instructor training. METHODS The study drew on project evaluation methodologies to summarize the main characteristics of the comprehensive system and new model for clinical pharmacist instructor training established through the reform by literature review. The “learning assessment” and “reaction assessment” were conducted by using Kirkpatrick’s four-level model of evaluation in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the clinical pharmacist instructor training reform through statistically processing and analyzing the performance data and teaching evaluation data of the instructor participants. Based on problem and trend analysis, the future development directions were anticipated for the reform of clinical pharmacist instructor training. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The latest round of clinical pharmacist instructor training reform initiated by the Chinese Hospital Association had initially established a four-pronged training system encompassing “recruitment, training, assessment, and management”. It had also forged a training 。 model “oriented towards enhancing clinical teaching competency, with practical learning and skill-based assessment conducted on clinical teaching sites as its core”. Following a period of over three years of gradual reform, the new training system and model became increasingly mature. In both 2023 and 2024, the participants achieved relatively high average total scores in their initial completion assessments [with scores of (84.05± 5.83) and (85.82±4.35) points, respectively]. They also reported a strong sense of gain from the training reform [with self- perceived gain scores of (4.80±0.44) and (4.85±0.39) points, respectively]. The operation and implementation effects of the reform were generally satisfactory. In the future, clinical pharmacist instructor training reforms should continue to address the issues remaining from the current phase, while aligning with global trends in pharmacy education and industry development. Additionally, sustained exploration and practice will be carried out around the core objective of “enhancing clinical teaching competence”.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of adult AML patients with NUP98::HOXA9 fusion gene.
METHODS:
From May 2017 to October 2023, among 2 113 AML patients who visited the Hematology Department of our hospital, patients with NUP98 rearrangements were screened. The clinical characteristics, chromosome karyotypes, immunophenotypes, gene mutations, treatment efficacy and prognosis of the patients with NUP98::HOXA9 positive were analyzed.
RESULTS:
Among the 2 113 AML patients, there were 18 cases with NUP98 rearrangement, including 14 NUP98::HOXA9 positive cases, with a detection rate of 0.66% (14/2 113). The median age of the NUP98::HOXA9 positive patients was 42.5 (23-64) years old. The most common chromosome karyotype was t(7; 11)(p15; p15). The immunophenotypes of all patients expressed CD13, CD33, CD117 and CD38, and most patients expressed CD34 and cMPO, while only a few expressed HLA-DR. Second-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed to detect genetic mutations associated with leukemia in all 14 patients, and the genes exhibiting a high frequency of mutation were WT1 (10/14), TET2 (7/14), and FLT3-ITD (6/14). Additionally, mutations were also observed in KRAS/NRAS, IDH1, and KIT. Of the 13 patients who received treatment, 9 achieved complete remission (CR), and all 3 patients who received azacytidine(AZA)+ venetoclax (VEN) regimen achieved CR after the first course of treatment. Within this cohort, 6 patients were classified as relapsed/refractory (6/13). 4 patients underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), of which two achieved long-term survival. The median follow-up time was 12 (2.1-65.0) months, while the median overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were recorded as 11.4 months and 9.6 months, respectively.
CONCLUSION
The most common type of NUP98 rearrangement in adults AML patients is NUP98::HOXA9 , which is often accompanied by somatic mutations in WT1, TET2, and FLT3-ITD. These patients are prone to relapse, have short survival time, and generally face poor prognoses. Hopefully, utilization of the AZA+VEN regimen is anticipated to enhance the rate of induced remission in the patients, and some patients may prolong their survival through allo-HSCT. However, more effective treatment methods are still needed to improve the overall prognosis of these patients.

BACKGROUND:
Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) holds significant value in guiding drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment and enhancing outcomes. However, the predictive capability of post-angioplasty QFR for long-term clinical events in patients with de novo lesions who receive DCB treatment remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to explore the potential significance of post-angioplasty QFR measurements in predicting clinical outcomes in patients underwent DCB treatment for de novo lesions.
METHODS:
Patients who underwent DCB-only intervention for de novo lesions were enrolled. QFR was conducted after DCB treatment. The patients were then categorized based on post-angioplasty QFR. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE), encompassing all-cause death, cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, and target vessel revascularization.
RESULTS:
A total of 553 patients with 561 lesions were included. The median follow-up period was 505 days, during which 66 (11.8%) MACEs occurred. Based on post-procedural QFR grouping, there were 259 cases in the high QFR group (QFR > 0.93) and 302 cases in the low QFR group (QFR ≤ 0.93). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a significantly higher cumulative incidence of MACE in the low QFR group (log-rank P = 0.004). The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model demonstrated a significant inverse correlation between QFR and the occurrence of MACEs (HR = 0.522, 95%CI: 0.289-0.942, P = 0.031). Landmark analysis indicated that high QFR had a significant reducing effect on the cumulative incidence of MACEs within 1 year (log-rank P = 0.016) and 1-5 years (log-rank P = 0.026).
CONCLUSIONS
In patients who underwent DCB-only treatment for de novo lesions, higher post-procedural QFR values (> 0.93) were identified as an independent protective factor against adverse prognosis.

OBJECTIVES:
We propose a sparse-view cone-beam CT reconstruction algorithm based on bidirectional flow field guided projection completion (BBC-Recon) to solve the ill-posed inverse problem in sparse-view cone-beam CT imaging.
METHODS:
The BBC-Recon method consists of two main modules: the projection completion module and the image restoration module. Based on flow field estimation, the projection completion module, through the designed bidirectional and multi-scale correlators, fully calculates the correlation information and redundant information among projections to precisely guide the generation of bidirectional flow fields and missing frames, thus achieving high-precision completion of missing projections and obtaining pseudo complete projections. The image restoration module reconstructs the obtained pseudo complete projections and then refines the image to remove the residual artifacts and further improve the image quality.
RESULTS:
The experimental results on the public datasets of Mayo Clinic and Guilin Medical University showed that in the case of a 4-fold sparse angle, compared with the suboptimal method, the BBC-Recon method increased the PSNR index by 1.80% and the SSIM index by 0.29%, and reduced the RMSE index by 4.12%; In the case of an 8-fold sparse angle, the BBC-Recon method increased the PSNR index by 1.43% and the SSIM index by 1.49%, and reduced the RMSE index by 0.77%.
CONCLUSIONS
The BBC-Recon algorithm fully exploits the correlation information between projections to allow effective removal of streak artifacts while preserving image structure information, and demonstrates significant advantages in maintaining inter-slice consistency.

Functional dyspepsia (FD), characterized by persistent or recurrent dyspeptic symptoms without identifiable organic, systemic or metabolic causes, is an increasingly recognized global health issue. The objective of this guideline is to equip clinicians and nursing professionals with evidence-based strategies for the management and treatment of adult patients with FD using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The Guideline Development Group consulted existing TCM consensus documents on FD and convened a panel of 35 clinicians to generate initial clinical queries. To address these queries, a systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, China Biology Medicine (SinoMed) Database, Wanfang Database, Traditional Medicine Research Data Expanded (TMRDE), and the Traditional Chinese Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (TCMLARS). The evidence from the literature was critically appraised using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. The strength of the recommendations was ascertained through a consensus-building process involving TCM and allopathic medicine experts, methodologists, pharmacologists, nursing specialists, and health economists, leveraging their collective expertise and empirical knowledge. The guideline comprises a total of 43 evidence-informed recommendations that span a range of clinical aspects, including the pathogenesis according to TCM, diagnostic approaches, therapeutic interventions, efficacy assessments, and prognostic considerations.

Objective We propose a dual-domain cone beam computed tomography(CBCT)reconstruction framework DualCBR-Net based on improved differentiable domain transform for cone-angle artifact correction.Methods The proposed CBCT dual-domain reconstruction framework DualCBR-Net consists of 3 individual modules:projection preprocessing,differentiable domain transform,and image post-processing.The projection preprocessing module first extends the original projection data in the row direction to ensure full coverage of the scanned object by X-ray.The differentiable domain transform introduces the FDK reconstruction and forward projection operators to complete the forward and gradient backpropagation processes,where the geometric parameters correspond to the extended data dimension to provide crucial prior information in the forward pass of the network and ensure the accuracy in the gradient backpropagation,thus enabling precise learning of cone-beam region data.The image post-processing module further fine-tunes the domain-transformed image to remove residual artifacts and noises.Results The results of validation experiments conducted on Mayo's public chest dataset showed that the proposed DualCBR-Net framework was superior to other comparison methods in terms of artifact removal and structural detail preservation.Compared with the latest methods,the DualCBR-Net framework improved the PSNR and SSIM by 0.6479 and 0.0074,respectively.Conclusion The proposed DualCBR-Net framework for cone-angle artifact correction allows effective joint training of the CBCT dual-domain network and is especially effective for large cone-angle region.

BACKGROUND:Gastrodin has anti-inflammatory effects and is mainly used in clinical practice for the treatment of ischemic stroke,and its mechanism of action is still unclear. OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of gastrodin intervention on inflammatory injury in ischemic stroke rats. METHODS:Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sham-operated group,model group,positive control group,high-dose gastrodin group and low-dose gastrodin group by the randomized numerical method,with 10 rats in each group.Ischemic stroke models were established by the middle cerebral artery occlusion method in all groups of rats except for the sham operation group.Administration in each group started on the 3rd day after surgery,and the rats in the positive control group were intraperitoneally injected with edaravone injection(6 mg/kg),the rats in the high-and low-dose gastrodin groups were intraperitoneally injected with 50 and 10 mg/kg gastrodin injection respectively,and the rats in the sham-operated and model groups were intraperitoneally injected with the equal volume of physiological saline.After 14 days of continuous treatment in each group,the pathological changes in rat brain tissue were observed,and the positive expression of NLRP3 inflammasome and the expression of inflammatory response-related proteins and their mRNAs were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the sham-operated group,the volume of cerebral infarction became larger in the model group;the structure of brain tissue was loose,irregular cavities could be observed,and the number of neurons was reduced and irregularly arranged;the positive expression of NLRP3 inflammasome increased(P<0.01);and the protein and mRNA expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4,myeloid differentiation factor 88,apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase-recruitment domain,Caspase-1,and interleukin-1β increased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the volume of cerebral infarction became smaller in the high-and low-dose gastrodin groups;the neurons were regularly arranged,increased in number,and uniformly distributed;the positive expression of NLRP3 inflammasome was decreased(P<0.05);the protein and mRNA expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4,myeloid differentiation factor 88,apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase-recruitment domain,Caspase-1,and interleukin-1β were decreased in the high-dose gastrodin group(P<0.01);Toll-like receptor 4 protein expression showed no significant changes in the low-dose gastrodin group,and the protein and mRNA expression of the other inflammatory response-associated factors decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01).To conclude,gastrodin attenuates inflammatory injury in ischemic stroke rats,and its mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of inflammatory response-associate factor expression.
