OBJECTIVE To provide empirical basis for promoting the dynamic adjustment of the pharmaceutical care catalogue and the formulation of policies such as hierarchical payment of medical insurance. METHODS A multicenter cross- sectional survey method was adopted to conduct a questionnaire survey among 424 inpatients in 22 tertiary medical institutions in 12 prefecture-level cities of Hubei Province to evaluate their demand for pharmaceutical care, willingness to pay and preference for service forms. Combined with univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis, the influencing factors and key factors that affect patients’ willingness to pay for pharmaceutical care were identified. RESULTS Only 39.86% of the patients were aware of pharmaceutical care or pharmacists, and 89.62% of the patients hope to receive pharmaceutical care. Among the 16 types of pharmaceutical care, the patients surveyed had a relatively high recognition rate for guidance on drug usage and dosage, notification of medication precautions, and the identification, prevention and handling of adverse drug reactions. 96.70%, 95.30%, and 94.12% respectively expressed strong approval and approval. The demand for services such as insurance-related policy consultation, popular science on the mechanism of drug action, and assessment of the combined use of traditional Chinese and Western medicines was relatively low, with 61.65%, 68.47%, and 68.47% expressing strong approval and approval respectively. The positive influencing factors of willingness to pay were household monthly income > 5 000 yuan (OR=1.742), awareness of pharmaceutical care or pharmacists (OR=3.620), and the desire to receive pharmaceutical care (OR=4.686) (P<0.05), while self-rating health as “good” (OR=0.390) was a negative influencing factor (P<0.05). Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (54.48%) and antihypertensive drugs (45.05%) were the service scenarios that the surveyed patients most hope to be covered. 85.14% of the patients preferred “service when xiaochnye@126.com needed”, with a single service duration of less than 10 minutes being appropriate (84.43%), and the willingness to pay within 20 yuan being the main type (85.38%). CONCLUSIONS Based on the characteristics of patients’ needs and payment behaviors, it is suggested that our country could consider establishing a hierarchical payment mechanism for pharmaceutical care, and focus on differentiated design in combination with diseases and medication situations. At the same time, the rights, responsibilities and service standards of resident pharmacists in the links such as medication reorganization and medical order review should be further clarified to comprehensively enhance the clinical value and policy operability of pharmaceutical care.

BACKGROUND:
Senescent human skin primary fibroblast (FB) models have been established for studying aging-related, proliferative, and inflammatory skin diseases. The aim of this study was to compare the transcriptome characteristics of human primary dermal FBs from children and the elderly with four senescence models.
METHODS:
Human skin primary FBs were obtained from healthy children (FB-C) and elderly donors (FB-E). Senescence models were generated by ultraviolet B irradiation (FB-UVB), D-galactose stimulation (FB-D-gal), atazanavir treatment (FB-ATV), and replication exhaustion induction (FB-P30). Flow cytometry, immunofluorescence staining, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, co-culturing with immune cells, and bulk RNA sequencing were used for systematic comparisons of the models.
RESULTS:
In comparison with FB-C, FB-E showed elevated expression of senescence-related genes related to the skin barrier and extracellular matrix, proinflammatory factors, chemokines, oxidative stress, and complement factors. In comparison with FB-E, FB-UVB and FB-ATV showed higher levels of senescence and expression of the genes related to the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and their shaped immune microenvironment highly facilitated the activation of downstream immune cells, including T cells, macrophages, and natural killer cells. FB-P30 was most similar to FB-E in terms of general transcriptome features, such as FB migration and proliferation, and aging-related characteristics. FB-D-gal showed the lowest expression levels of senescence-related genes. In comparisons with the single-cell RNA sequencing results, FB-E showed almost complete simulation of the transcriptional spectrum of FBs in elderly patients with atopic dermatitis, followed by FB-P30 and FB-UVB. FB-E and FB-P30 showed higher similarity with the FBs in keloids.
CONCLUSIONS
Each senescent FB model exhibited different characteristics. In addition to showing upregulated expression of natural senescence features, FB-UVB and FB-ATV showed high expression levels of senescence-related genes, including those involved in the SASP, and FB-P30 showed the greatest similarity with FB-E. However, D-galactose-stimulated FBs did not clearly present aging characteristics.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and is a growing public health challenge. Neuroinflammation has been proposed as a prominent pathological feature of AD and has traditionally been attributed to the innate immune system. However, emerging evidence highlights the involvement of adaptive immunity, particularly T and B lymphocytes, in the neuroinflammatory processes of AD. It remains unclear how adaptive immune responses, originally intended to protect the body, contribute to chronic inflammation and neuronal dysfunction in AD. Here, we review the roles of adaptive immunity, cellular composition, and niches and their contribution to AD development and progression. Notably, we synthesize the crosstalk between adaptive immunity and the innate immune system of the central nervous system (CNS), which is mainly mediated by glial cells and myeloid cells, and their interrelationships with amyloid-β (Aβ)/Tau pathology. We hypothesized that the alterations observed in innate immunity in AD mirror age-related immune alterations, whereas the dysregulation of adaptive immunity contributes more accurately to disease-specific immune responses. Targeting adaptive immunity in the context of neuroinflammation may provide new insights into potential therapeutic strategies designed to modulate immune responses, thereby facilitating the diagnosis, intervention, and treatment of AD.

Objective:To explore the expression level and clinical significance of serum Hsa_circ_0089761 in patients with cervical cancer.Methods:A total of 107 cervical cancer patients, 80 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) patients, and 60 normal control group were selected and analyzed from January 2021 to March 2023 at the Ninth Affiliated People's Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. We compared the levels of serum Hsa_circ_0089761, squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) among different groups, and analyzed the relationship between the expression level of serum Hsa_circ_0089761 and the clinical and pathological characteristics of cervical cancer. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the diagnostic value of serum Hsa_circ_0089761, SCCA, and CEA levels for cervical cancer. Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between serum Hsa_circ_0089761 expression levels and SCCA and CEA in cervical cancer patients.Results:The expression levels of serum Hsa_circ_0089761[(2.96±0.95) vs (1.83±0.74), (0.92±0.41)], SCCA[(9.63±1.84)ng/ml vs (2.28±0.65)ng/ml, (1.30±0.27)ng/ml], and CEA[(6.47±2.20)ng/ml vs (1.61±0.57)ng/ml, (1.15±0.12)ng/ml] in the cervical cancer group were significantly higher than those in the CIN group and the control group (all P<0.001), and the serum Hsa_circ_0089761 expression levels in the CIN group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.001). Cervical cancer patients in stages Ⅲ-Ⅳ, with low differentiation, lymph node metastasis, infiltration depth ≥1/2 of the muscle layer, positive SCCA, and positive CEA had significantly higher levels of serum Hsa_circ_0089761 expression (all P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis showed that the specificity of diagnosing cervical cancer was highest (85.00%) for Hsa_circ_0089761 ≥2.25, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for diagnosing cervical cancer in combination with SCCA was highest (0.932, 95% CI: 0.874-0.993), with the highest accuracy (89.30%). The sensitivity of the combination of Hsa_circ_0089761+ SCCA+ CEA in diagnosing cervical cancer was highest (96.26%). The correlation analysis results showed that the serum Hsa_circ_0089761 expression levels in cervical cancer patients were positively correlated with SCCA ( r=0.775, P<0.001) and CEA ( r=0.613, P<0.001). Conclusions:The expression level of serum Hsa_circ_0089761 in cervical cancer patients is significantly increased, which is related to clinical and pathological characteristics. The combination of Hsa_circ_0089761 and SCCA detection has high value in the diagnosis of cervical cancer.
