OBJECTIVE:To explore the new model and feasibility of the combination of ward round conducted by business president and pharmaceutical administration.METHODS:The organization form,procedures,content and experience of ward round conducted by business president were introduced based on the practice of our hospital.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The pharmaceutical ward rounds conducted by business president are carried out once a month in our hospital to intervene irrational medication by means of medication survey,administration intervention and education with guidance and supervision of rational use of drug as core.Multi-disciplinary cooperation is effective measure for improving rational use of drug.It can strengthen public perception on rational use of drug in all areas by enhancing experience at key point which is worth of spreading.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on subsolid nodule (SSN). Methods A practical randomized controlled study method, including 254 SSN patients was adopted. The patients were divided into the TCM (102 cases) and follow-up (152 cases) groups. The follow-up group received regular check-ups in accordance with the guidelines, and the TCM group received TCM syndrome differentiation treatment for 24 weeks. The two groups were compared in terms of the changes in their SSN diameter, SSN number, TCM symptom score, and overall therapeutic effect before and after treatment. Adverse reactions and safety indicators were also recorded. Results The TCM group showed a significantly higher effective rate of treatment (16.7%) than the follow-up group (2.6%) (P<0.01). Compared with their condition before treatment, the TCM group showed no significant changes in their SSN diameter and number but presented considerably reduced fatigue, yellow and red urine symptoms, and overall TCM symptom score (P<0.05). The follow-up group exhibited significantly increased diameter and number of SSN (P<0.01). The follow-up group showed the significantly higher increase in SSN diameter after treatment than the TCM group (P<0.05). Moreover, the follow-up group showed significantly higher fatigue, depression, yellow and red urine symptom scores, and overall TCM symptom score than the TCM group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion TCM treatment for SSN has a distinct clinical efficacy, reduces the malignant risk of SSN and improves clinical symptoms of SSN patients, and is safe and feasible.

Objective: To understand HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitude, and awareness of HIV/AIDS policies and regulations among vocational medical students in Sichuan, and to provide scientific basis for AIDS prevention and treatment in higher vocational medical colleges. Methods: A total of 1 458 medical students in a vocational college in Sichuan Province were selected through stratified cluster random sampling and investigated with questionnaire on HIV/AIDS related knowledge, policies and regulations. Results: The average score of AIDS knowledge was(6.63±1.31), and the awareness rate was 82.9%; The average score of attitude towards AIDS was(2.17±0.45), with the highest score being fear and avoidance(2.56±0.61), and the lowest score responsibility perception(1.66±0.58); The total score of HIV/AIDS related policies and regulations was(19.17±2.91). AIDS knowledge was positively correlated with attitude and understanding of policies and regulations(r=-0.24, 0.28, P<0.01) , the higher the knowledge score, the better the attitude and the higher the understanding of policies and regulations. Conclusion HIV/AIDS knowledge of higher vocational medical students has been improved, the fear and avoidance of AIDS is widespread. There are insufficient awareness in AIDS related policies and regulations. Higher vocational medical colleges should be more targeted AIDS health education.

Objective To investigate the association between heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) gene rs2071746 polymorphism and long-term clinical outcome in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods Between July 2015 and June 2017,consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology,the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were enrolled prospectively.TOAST classification was performed for all patients.Genotyping of the HO-1 gene rs2071746 polymorphism was performed using a modified multiplex ligase detection reaction technique.The patients were followed up.The primary endpoint events included ischemic stroke,vascular death,and myocardial infarction.Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the independent influencing factors for primary endpoint events.Results A total of 1 698 patients with successful genotyping and follow-up information were enrolled.Genotyping showed that the frequency of rs2071746 A allelewas 44.91％.They were followed up for 15.21 ± 7.39 months,and 168 patients (9.89％) had primary endpoint events.The incidence of primary endpoint events in A allele carriers was significantly lower than that in non-A allele carriers (8.80％ vs.12.40％;P =0.018).Multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model showed that after adjusting for age,gender,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,smoking,alcohol consumption,and genotype,A allele was an independent protective factor for primary endpoint events in patients with acute ischemic stroke (hazard risk [HR] 0.693,95％ confidence interval [CI]0.506-0.949;P=0.022).Subgroup analysis showed that carrying the A allele was an independent protective factor for primary endpoint events in patients with large atherosclerotic stroke (HR 0.651,95％ CI 0.425-0.997;P=0.048),while rs2071746 polymorphism was not associated with long-term outcome in other etiological subtypes.Conclusion The HO-1 gene rs2071746 A allele may be a protective factor for the long-term outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke and large atherosclerotic stroke.

ObjectiveTo investigate the epidemiological characteristics and analyze the incidence trend of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Shanghai， China， and compare with the characteristics of the infection in Jilin Province of China during the same period in 2022 and Wuhan at the beginning of 2020. MethodsInformation of new locally-transmitted confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases， imported confirmed COVID-19 cases， local asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers and imported asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers in Shanghai from March 1 to April 18， 2022 was collected for descriptive analysis. ResultsFrom March 1 to April 18， 2022， a total of 397 933 locally-transmitted SARS-CoV-2 cases were reported in Shanghai. Of those， 27 613 were clinically confirmed cases and 21 were severe cases. Ten deaths were related to COVID-19. The pathogen is Omicron variant BA.2 of SARS-CoV-2. The number of the infected subjects increased rapidly after March 24 and lead to a disease outbreak. Severe and deceased cases had severe comorbidity and were mostly unvaccinated with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers accounted for 93.06%， which is significantly higher than that in Jilin Province during the same period （48.07%， P<0.001）. Daily increase in the number of clinically confirmed COVID-19 cases in Shanghai in 2022 was much lower than that in Wuhan， Hubei Province， in 2020. Number of daily newly imported confirmed COVID-19 cases and imported asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers declined during this period. ConclusionThe Omicron variant in Shanghai 2022 is highly infectious and less pathogenic. Omicron variant BA.2 replicates rapidly in asymptomatic carriers， which makes the carriers the major source of infection. Full-term vaccination of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine might decrease the pathogenicity and fatality of SARS-CoV-2 variants. SARS-CoV-2 of the Omicron BA2 strain is likely transmitted through aerosols and droplets， which poses a great challenge to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic in large cities with high population density and sophisticated public transportation.
