Objective To investigate the medication and blood glucose control of type 2 diabetes patients under chronic diseases management in Xi'an chain pharmacies,and provides reference for improving the management policy of diabetes at grassroots level.Methods A number of chain pharmacies in the sixth district of Xi'an were selected by random sampling method,and on-site interviews were conducted by questionnaire survey to patients with type 2 diabetes under the management of chronic diseases.The basic information of patients,medication status(medication plan,drug adherence,etc.),diabetes-related conditions(blood glucose status,family history,course and complications,etc.)were collected.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the relevant factors of blood glucose control in patients.Results A total of 403 patients were surveyed,the largest number of patients use oral hypoglycemic drugs alone(53.4%),followed by insulin medication(including insulin only and insulin in combination with oral hypoglycemic drugs)(35.7%),and the differences between disease course and glycemic control among patients with different drug regimens were statistically significant(P<0.05).Only 43.7%of patients had good medication compliance.In addition,the patient's fast plasma glucose compliance rate was only 39.2%.The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that good medication compliance(OR=1.744,95%CI 1.104 to 2.754,P=0.017)were independent influencing factors for achieving glycemic control.Conclusion The medication compliance of type 2 diabetes patients with poor blood glucose control in chronic disease management of chain pharmacies in Xi'an needs to be strengthened.Pharmacies should emphasize and give full play to the professional and service advantages of pharmacists to realize the functional role of pharmacies and strengthen diabetes management.

Objective To investigate the current awareness of pharmaceutical service fees among pharmacists in hospitals of Shaanxi province to provide a theoretical basis and decision-making framework for establishing such fees in hospitals of various provinces and cities in the future.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 47 representative hospitals and 53 pharmacists within these hospitals in Shaanxi province.The results were analyzed using differential analysis.Results In most hospitals of Shaanxi province,pharmaceutical services are not provided or not charged for,indicating a lack of practical experience in the establishment of pharmaceutical service fees.Among hospitals that provide and charge for pharmaceutical services,there remains a need for uniformity in specific service content and fee standards,clear regulatory policy support,and a unified evaluation system.Significant differences exist among hospitals of different levels and types in terms of their capacity to provide pharmaceutical services and the forms in which they are offered.There is inconsistency among pharmacists within hospitals regarding crucial aspects of establishing pharmaceutical service fees,and further enhancement is needed in their awareness of relevant policies and the latest guidelines.Conclusions There is considerable room for improvement in establishing pharmaceutical service fees in hospitals of Shaanxi province.Stakeholders should promptly establish and standardize the fee establishment model,differentiate the fee standards for various services,enhance the publicity and dissemination of relevant document requirements to support the smooth implementation of pharmaceutical service fee policies.

Objective To explore the clinical features oflymphoplasmacytic diseases with MyD88 L265P mutation.Methods To analyze the distribution of MYD88 L265P mutation in patients with lymphoplasmacytic diseases by using of ARMS PCR-CE.Results There were 25(30.9%) MyD88 L265P mutated patients in 81 patients.The mutation was frequently observed in 14 patients with WM (77.8%,14/ 18),2 patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (66.7%,2/3),1 acute lymphocytic leukemia patient (50.0%,1/2),3 multiple myeloma patients (30.0%,3/10),1 patient with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (25%,1/4),3 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (13.0%,3/23) and 1 lymphoma patient (4.8%,1/21).20 (80%,20/25) patients were identified with IgM subtype.Compared with wild-type group of 56 cases,mutated patients were older (median age:67 years vs 55 years,P< 0.001),with lower WBC count (median count:5.23 × 109/L vs 10.80× 109/L,P=0.001),lower HGB level (median count:85 g/L vs 119 g/L,P<0.001).Conclusion MyD88 L265P mutation was mainly observed in patients with IgM subtype lymphoplasmacytic diseases,and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia was the most common disease.Compared with the wild-type group,patients with MyD88 L265P mutation were older and had lower WBC count,lower level of HGB.However,further studies were needed to test the prognostic value of MyD88 L265P mutation.
