OBJECTIVE To establish a Chinese drug-related problem （DRP） classification system applicable to pharmacist-led pharmaceutical care in China， providing pharmacists with an effective and practical tool for pharmaceutical care. METHODS A multi-stage process was employed to construct the DRP classification system， including literature review and analysis， comparison of existing classification systems， refinement of classification items and framework development， two rounds of standard case validation， expert discussion， and system revision. The Fleiss′ kappa test was used to calculate the consistency coefficient κ， assessing the reliability of pharmacists participating in evaluating the classification system. An electronic questionnaire comprising six items was employed to evaluate the system’s applicability. RESULTS The constructed Chinese DRP classification system comprised six sections [problem（including potential problems）， DRP evaluation， cause （including possible causes of potential problems）， intervention， acceptance of intervention and DRP status]， with 24 primary codes and 96 secondary codes. In the first round of case validation， κ values exceeded 0.4 for all sections except “intervention” and “DRP status”. In the second round， κ values exceeded 0.4 for all sections. In the applicability evaluation of the classification system， positive ratings （“strongly agree” or “agree”） exceeded 85% for all items. Specifically， positive ratings for“the classification system can provide appropriate category selection”，“ the classification system is comprehensive”，“ the classification system is convenient to use” and “the classification system is highly satisfactory” exceeded 92%. CONCLUSIONS The Chinese DRP classification system developed demonstrates both high reliability and applicability， providing an effective and practical classification tool for pharmacists in China to conduct pharmaceutical care.

Objective: To analyze the association between drinking behaviors and anxiety symptoms, with the mediating role of insomnia symptoms among college freshmen, so as to provide a reference basis for reducing the occurrence of anxiety symptoms in college freshmen. Methods: From October to December 2021, 31 856 freshmen were selected by the purposive sampling method in 22 colleges across 11 provinces (Fujian, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Henan, Anhui, Hubei, Shanxi, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Chongqing) in China. The Semi quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire was used to investigate college freshmen drinking behaviors. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 and the Insomnia Severity Index were used to assess anxiety symptoms and insomnia symptoms in college freshmen. The generalized linear model was employed to analyze the association between drinking behaviors and anxiety symptoms in college freshmen, and the structural equation modeling was used to assess the mediating effect of insomnia symptoms on the association. Results: The detection rate of anxiety symptoms among college freshmen was 28.2%, the detection rates of the mild, moderate, severe and extremely severe were 6.6%, 15.9%, 3.2% and 2.6%, respectively. While 23.6% of college freshmen reported drinking in the past month, the rates were 39.8% among boys and 15.9% among girls. After adjusting for demographic variables (ethnicity, education, major, etc.) and confounding variables (self evaluation of learning burden, number of close friends, screen time, etc.), the results of generalized linear model analysis showed that beer consumption was associated with anxiety symptoms in college freshmen( β =0.09, 95% CI =0.04-0.14), girls( β =0.14, 95% CI =0.07-0.21) and those aged 19-20 years ( β =0.12, 95% CI =0.05-0.19)(all P <0.05). Red wine consumption was associated with anxiety symptoms in male students ( β =0.13, 95% CI =0.02-0.24, P <0.05). Alcohol and beer consumption were associated with insomnia in college freshmen[ β (95% CI ) =0.22(0.08-0.36),0.31(0.23-0.39),both P <0.01]. Insomnia symptoms partially mediated the association between drinking behaviors and anxiety symptoms among college freshmen with a mediating effect value of 0.05, accounting for 50.49% of the total effect. Conclusions Insomnia symptoms partially mediates the association between drinking behaviors and anxiety symptoms in college freshmen. Measures should be taken to simultaneously intervene in the drinking behaviors and insomnia symptoms of college freshmen to prevent the occurrence of their anxiety symptoms.

Linxian County in Henan Province, Northern China is known as the region with the highest incidence and mortality rate of esophageal cancer worldwide. Since 1959, the Henan medical team has conducted field work on esophageal cancer prevention and treatment in Linxian. Through three generations of effort exerted by oncologists over 65 years of research on esophageal cancer prevention and treatment in Linxian, the incidence rate of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in this area has dropped by nearly 50%, and the 5-year survival rate has increased to 40%, reaching the international leading level. This article aims to summarize the history, present opportunities and new challenges, and explore the experience of esophageal cancer prevention and treatment in Linxian (referred to as the “Linxian experience”), providing reference and guidance to cancer prevention and treatment research in China.

AIM: To compare the effects of different nucleus chopping methods on the central corneal thickness, corneal endothelial cell(CEC)count and tear inflammatory indicators in patients with hard nucleus cataract.METHODS: Retrospective study. Totally 89 patients(89 eyes)with hard nucleus cataract who treated in our hospital were included from January 2020 to December 2022. According to different intraoperative nucleus chopping methods, the patients were divided into reverse prechop group(46 eyes)and phaco-chop group(43 eyes). The total effective rate of surgery and visual acuity recovery were compared between the two groups. Corneal related indicators(central corneal thickness, CEC count, CEC area), tear inflammatory indicators and tear film function [tear film break-up time(BUT), Chinese Dry Eye Questionnaire(CDEQ), Schirmer Ⅰ test(SⅠt)] were observed before and after surgery in both groups, and the degree of corneal edema was evaluated.RESULTS: The effective phaco time, phaco energy and cumulative complex energy parameters in the phaco-chop group were longer or higher than those in the reverse prechop group(P<0.05). The macular retinal thickness in the reverse prechop group at 7 d and 1 mo after surgery was thinner than that in the phaco-chop group, the central corneal thickness at 3 and 7 d after surgery was also thinner than that in the phaco-chop group, the CEC count at 3 mo after surgery was more than that in the phaco-chop group, the CEC loss rate was lower than that in the phaco-chop group, and the CEC area at 3 mo after surgery was smaller than that in the phaco-chop group(P<0.05). The levels of tear TNF-α and IL-6 at 7 d and 1 mo after surgery in the reverse prechop group were lower than those in the phaco-chop group(P<0.05). The BUT at 1 and 3 mo after surgery was longer in the reverse prechop group than that in the phaco-chop group(P<0.05). The CDEQ score in the reverse prechop group was lower than that in the phaco-chop group at 1 and 3 mo after surgery(P<0.05). The SⅠt at 1 and 3 mo after surgery was higher in the reverse prechop group compared with that in the phaco-chop group(P<0.05). The degree of corneal edema at 1 d after surgery was milder in the reverse prechop group than that in the phaco-chop group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Compared with phaco-chop, the application of reverse-chopper prechop combined with phacoemulsification can better reduce the ultrasonic energy in the treatment of hard nuclear cataract, and it is more conducive to reducing the postoperative inflammatory degree, improving the tear film function and relieving the corneal edema degree.

AIM: To investigate the efficacy of small-incision horizontal space nuclear splitting surgery and phacoemulsification combined with regional refractive multifocal intraocular lens(MIOL)implantation in the treatment of hard nuclear cataract.METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed for 288 patients(288 eyes)with hard nuclear cataract who admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to December 2023, and they were divided into control group(144 eyes treated with phacoemulsification and regional refractive MIOL)and observation group(144 eyes treated with small-incision horizontal space nuclear splitting surgery and regional refractive MIOL)according to different treatment methods. The operation time, pre- and post-operative best corrected visual acuity, astigmatism, central corneal thickness, corneal endothelial density, tear film function, and complications were compared between the two groups.RESULTS:There was no difference in operation time between the two groups(P>0.05). There was no difference in the preoperative and 3 mo postoperative best corrected visual acuity(all P>0.05), and the best corrected visual acuity of the two groups at 3 mo postoperatively was improved compared with the preoperative level(all P<0.05). There were differences in central corneal thickness, corneal endothelial density and astigmatism between the two groups at 1 wk and 3 mo after surgery(all P<0.05). There were differences in breakup time(BUT)and ocular surface disease index(OSDI)scores between the two groups at 1 wk after surgery(all P<0.001), and the incidence of complications in the observation group(4.2%)was significantly lower than that in the control group(18.1%; P<0.001).CONCLUSION:Both surgical methods can effectively treat patients with hard nuclear cataracts, and small-incision horizontal space nuclear splitting surgery combined with regional refractive MIOL implantation has less corneal damage and fewer complications.

Objective:To compare the effects of early orthodontic intervention and conventional sequential periodontal-orthodontic treatment to periodontal health in patients with stage Ⅳ periodontitis.Methods:A total of 30 patients with stage Ⅳ periodontitis, who underwent combined periodontal and orthodontic therapies at the Department of Periodontology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, from January 2018 to August 2024, were included. Patients who underwent early orthodontic intervention were initiated simultaneously or within one month after supragingival scaling and subgingival root planning ( n=15). While patients in control group accomplished supragingival scaling, subgingival root planning, and corresponding periodontal surgeries to achieve inflammation control before starting orthodontic treatment ( n=15). Periodontal parameters, including clinical attachment loss (CAL), probing depth (PD), and bleeding on probing (+) % [BOP (+) %], were measured at baseline, one year after orthodontic treatment, and at the end of combined periodontal-orthodontic therapy respectively. Improvements in periodontal parameters and differences in tooth loss between the two groups were compared. Results:After receiving combined periodontal-orthodontic treatment, the CAL of the early orthodontic intervention group significantly decreased from (4.39±0.90) mm before treatment to (2.41±0.35) mm at the end of treatment ( t=7.92, P<0.001). Similarly, the PD significantly reduced from (4.20±1.04) mm before treatment to (2.20±0.38) mm at the end of treatment ( t=7.01, P<0.001). The BOP(+)% also showed a significant improvement, decreasing from 89.29% (68.00%, 100.00%) before treatment to 13.04% (7.14%, 17.86%) at the end of treatment ( Z=-3.41, P<0.001). There were no statistically significant differences between the early orthodontic intervention group and control group in terms of baseline mean CAL, mean PD, and BOP(+)% ( t=1.30, P=0.205; t=1.28, P=0.212; Z=0.58, P=0.559). Furthermore, the improvements in CAL and PD between the two groups were not significantly different compared to baseline ( Z=-1.10, P=0.272; Z=-0.93, P=0.351). However, the number of missing teeth was significantly lower in the early orthodontic intervention group than in the control group (χ2=3.96, P=0.047). The duration of combined periodontal-orthodontic treatment in the early orthodontic intervention group was [33.13 (23.37, 36.20) months], which was significantly shorter than that in the control group [37.47 (32.33, 50.90) months] ( Z=2.07, P=0.037). Conclusions:Both early orthodontic intervention and conventional periodontal-orthodontic treatment significantly improved CAL, PD, and BOP(+)% in stage Ⅳ periodontitis patients. Early orthodontic intervention contributed to the preservation of natural teeth and shortened the treatment duration of stage Ⅳ periodontitis.

Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the value of CT-based radiomics machine learning models in predicting spread through air spaces(STAS)in lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD)and to determine the optimal peritumoral analysis region.Methods:Data from 378 pa-tients who underwent non-small cell lung cancer surgery at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between January 2013 to January 2017 were retro-spectively analyzed.Logistic regression,random forest,and XGBoost models were constructed using regions extending 0,3,6,9,and 12 mm outward from the tumor margin.Results:The XGBoost model using the 6 mm peritumoral region performed best on the test set,with an AUC-ROC of 0.855(95%CI:0.756-0.950),followed by the XGBoost model using the 9 mm region.Decision curve analysis(DCA)indicated that the XGBoost models for the 6 mm and 9 mm regions had higher net clinical benefits.Feature analysis revealed that some wavelet trans-form features significantly contributed to STAS prediction.Conclusions:This preliminary study suggests that CT-based radiomics machine learning models have predictive value for STAS.The XGBoost model based on the 6 mm peritumoral region demonstrated the best perform-ance,and holds promise in assisting preoperative assessment.

Objective To investigate the screening results and factors affecting abnormal detection rates among high-risk groups of esophageal cancer and to explore effective intervention measures. Methods We investigated and collected the information on gender, education level, age, marital status, symptoms of reflux esophagitis (heartburn, acid reflux, belching, hiccup, foreign body sensation in the pharynx, and difficulty swallowing), consumption of pickled vegetables, salt use, and esophageal cancer incidence of villagers in a natural village in Wenfeng District, Anyang City, Henan Province. Changes in reflux esophagitis symptoms in the high-incidence area of esophageal cancer before and after 16 years were observed, and the relationship of such changes with esophageal cancer was analyzed. Results In 2008, 711 cases were epidemiologically investigated, including 213 cases with one of the symptoms of reflux esophagitis such as heartburn, acid reflux, belching, hiccups, foreign body sensation in the pharynx, and difficulty swallowing (sorted in accordance with the abovementioned symptoms; if there are multiple symptoms, then the former is taken); 55 cases with at least two related symptoms, among which the most symptom was heartburn in 108 cases (15.1%); followed by acid reflux, belching, etc. In 2024, the same group of people was investigated, and eight people were missing because of relocation. A total of 703 people were successfully investigated, of which 189 cases (26.8%) had one of the symptoms of reflux esophagitis, such as heartburn (sorted in accordance with relevant symptoms, if there are multiple symptoms, then the former will be selected); 167 cases (23.7%) had at least two related symptoms, among which the most symptom was heartburn in 139 cases (19.7%); followed by acid reflux. Over 16 years, among the 703 people investigated, 45 cases had esophageal cancer and they had one or more of the abovementioned symptoms. No significant differences in the reflux esophagitis-like symptoms were found between 2008 and 2024 (P=0.26); no significant differences in the composition of reflux esophagitis-like symptoms were found between 2008 and 2024 (P=0.299). Conclusion The detection rate of reflux esophagitis-related symptoms in the population in a high-risk area of esophageal cancer has not decreased in the past 16 years, and the high-risk factors still exist. Esophageal cancer is closely related to reflux esophagitis, and clinical practice can provide early diagnosis and treatment for high-risk population.

Objective To investigate the relationship between tooth loss and the occurrence of esophageal cancer in a natural village in Wenfeng District, Anyang City, Henan Province. Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted to observe the occurrence of tooth loss and esophageal cancer among the asymptomatic residents of the natural village for 16 years from January 2008 to July 2024. Data were analyzed by chi-square test, binary logistic regression, and restricted cubic spline. Results Among the total population of 711 cases, 136 cases were lost to follow-up and 575 cases were included in the final statistics, including 45 cases with esophageal cancer. Significant statistical difference was found between esophageal cancer patients with and without tooth loss (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that tooth loss was associated with the occurrence of esophageal cancer (OR=3.977, 95%CI: 1.543-10.255). After the adjustment for confounders, tooth loss remained significantly associated with the occurrence of esophageal cancer (OR=3.038, 95%CI: 1.035-8.914). A nonlinear dose-response relationship was observed between the number of teeth lost and the incidence of esophageal cancer. When the number of teeth lost was less than 12, the risk of esophageal cancer increased with the number of teeth lost. When more than 12 teeth were lost, the risk of esophageal cancer decreased as the number of teeth lost increased. Conclusion Tooth loss is a risk factor for the occurrence of esophageal cancer in this natural village. When the number of teeth lost is less than 12, the risk of esophageal cancer increases with the number of teeth lost.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the overall dietary intake of adult residents in Sijing Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai, and to explore the association between dietary health literacy and diet quality. MethodsA total of 1 280 adult residents were selected as the research subjects using a multi-stage sampling method, and face-to-face questionnaire surveys were administered on site. Dietary intake data were collected using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and the overall diet quality of the participants was evaluated based on the Chinese Healthy Eating Index (CHEI). Participants were divided into low- and high-CHEI groups according to the median CHEI score. Logistic regression models were used to examine the association between dietary health literacy and diet quality. ResultsThe median CHEI score for adults in the area was 63.68 points. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that adults with lower dietary health literacy had lower CHEI scores and poorer overall diet quality compared to those with higher dietary health literacy (OR=1.435, 95%CI:1.132‒1.819). ConclusionThe overall diet quality of adult residents in this region requires improvement. There is a significant positive correlation between the level of dietary health literacy and CHEI scores, suggesting that enhancing dietary health literacy may be an important strategy to improve resident’ dietary quality.
