In the context of high-quality development in medical institutions, the supply-processing-distribution(SPD) management mode has gradually been widely applied. The authors described in detail the procurement, supply, inventory, distribution, and settlement management of medical consumables and in vitro diagnostic reagents in a certain hospital under the SPD mode. It was found that SPD was conducive to strengthening the supervision of medical consumables and in vitro diagnostic reagents in the hospital, ensuring quality and safety of use, reducing hospital operating costs, and improving hospital′s competitiveness. However, attention should be paid to preventing data security risks, strengthening operational management, and improving the cost-benefit analysis of in vitro diagnostic reagents.

AIM: To investigate the efficacy of lacrimal duct laser dacryoplasty combined with intubation and postoperative meibomian gland treatment in patients with chronic dacryocystitis complicated by meibomian gland dysfunction.METHODS: Data were collected from 128 patients with chronic dacryocystitis complicated by meibomian gland dysfunction treated at Xi'an No.1 Hospital from March 2021 to December 2022. All patients underwent lacrimal duct laser dacryoplasty combined with intubation. Postoperatively, those patients were randomly divided into two groups: group A(64 cases, without meibomian gland treatment)and group B(64 cases, with meibomian gland treatment). The lacrimal intubation was removed at 3 mo after surgery to evaluate the patency rate of lacrimal irrigation. Additionally, changes in the ocular surface disease index(OSDI)score, non-invasive tear film break-up time, tear meniscus height, conjunctival hyperemia analysis, meibomian gland analysis, tear lipid layer thickness, tear ferning test, and conjunctival impression cytology were compared between the two groups.RESULTS: The lacrimal irrigation patency rates in the group A and group B were 78.1% and 81.2% respectively, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05); compared with the group A, group B showed a significant extension in non-invasive tear breakup time at 3 mo after surgery, and the OSDI score, conjunctival hyperemia analysis, tear ferning test and conjunctival impression cytology grading were all significantly decreased(all P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in tear meniscus height, tear lipid layer thickness and meibomian gland loss score between the two groups(all P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Comprehensive treatment for patients with chronic dacryocystitis combined with meibomian gland dysfunction have improved patients' comfort, tear film stability, and reduces local inflammatory response. It is important to simultaneously address ocular surface microenvironment abnormalities during surgical treatment to achieve satisfactory efficacy.

OBJECTIVE To prepare Lanqin extract/cyclodextrin complexes for probing its effects of different kinds of cyclodextrins on the taste-masking. METHODS Bitter compounds in the extracts were performed on ion exchange resin adsorption combined with HPLC. The formulations of complexes were screened by human taste panel method. The complexes were prepared by spray-drying and characterized through scanning electron microscope, differential scanning calorimetry, and hygroscopicty test. Moreover, the in vitro bitter taste perception of complexes was evaluated by electronic tongue and further valuation the credibility of the results was conducted on human gustatory sensation tests. RESULTS The sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin-based combinational formulation with multiple cyclodextrins could significantly inhibit the bitter taste of the extract which mainly caused by its alkaline constituents at a lower dosage. The results of electron scanning microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and hygroscopicity indicated that the Lanqin extract and cyclodextrin in the complex may form inclusion complexes rather than physical mixtures. The results of electronic tongue and human gustatory sensation tests showed that, compared with the extract suggested the taste characteristics of the optimal complexes was similar to corresponding excipient while the bitterness significantly reduced. CONCLUSION The Lanqin extract/cyclodextrin complexes prepared in this study are suitable for industrial production for its good flavour, less total amount of cyclodextrins, and simple process. The present study has important significance for the development of related taste masking products of Lanqin.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of cryopreservation-free integrated autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) model for patients with multiple myeloma.Methods:A total of 96 patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) between July 31, 2020, and December 31, 2022, were retrospectively analyzed, of which 41 patients in the observation group received integrated non-cryopreserved transplantation mode. After hematopoietic stem cells were mobilized and collected, melphalan was started immediately for pre-transplant conditioning, and non-cryopreserved grafts from the medical blood transfusion refrigerator were directly injected intravenously into the patient within 24-48 h after the melphalan conditioning. The control group consisted of 55 patients who received traditional transplantation mode. After hematopoietic stem cells were collected, stem cell cryopreservation was performed in liquid nitrogen, and then the transplant plans were started at the right time. All patients received mobilization of autologous hematopoietic stem cells using the G-CSF combined with the plerixafor.Results:① A total of 34 patients (82.9% ) with VGPR plus CR in the observation group were significantly higher than 33 patients (60.0% ) in the control group ( P=0.016). ②Compared with the control group, the incidence of grade 1 oral mucosal inflammation was higher in the observation group ( P<0.001) ; however, the incidence of grades 2 and 3 oral mucosal inflammation was lower ( P=0.004, P=0.048), and neither group experienced grade 4 or above oral mucosal inflammation. The incidence of grade 1 diarrhea was higher in the observation group ( P=0.002), whereas the incidence of grade 3 diarrhea was lower ( P=0.007). No statistically significant difference was observed in the incidence of grade 4 diarrhea ( P=0.506), and neither group experienced grade 5 diarrhea. ③ The incidence of bacterial infection in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (34.1% vs 65.5%, P=0.002), whereas no statistically significant difference was observed in the incidence of fungal infection (29.3% vs 31.4%, P=0.863) and viral infection (4.88% vs 3.64%, P=0.831). ④No statistically significant difference was observed in the implantation time of granulocytes and platelets between the observation and control groups [10 (8-20) days vs 11 (8-17) days, P=0.501; 13 (10-21) days vs 15 (10-20) days, P=0.245]. ⑤ All patients did not receive lenalidomide treatment 100 days post-transplantation. At 30 days post-transplantation, the CTL, NK, and Th cell counts in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.001, P=0.002, P=0.049), and the NKT cell counts were higher than those in the control group ( P=0.024). At 100 days post-transplantation, the CTL, NKT, and Th cell counts in the observation group were higher than those in the control group ( P=0.025, P=0.011, P=0.007), and no statistically significant difference in NK cell counts was observed between the two groups ( P=0.396). ⑥ The median follow-up was 18 (4-33) months. The overall 2-year survival rates of the observation and control groups post-transplantation were 91.5% and 78.2%, respectively ( P=0.337). The recurrence-free survival rates were 85.3% and 77.6%, respectively ( P=0.386), and the cumulative recurrence rates were 9.8% and 16.9%, respectively ( P=0.373) . Conclusion:In NDMM, the cryopreservation-free integrated autologous HSCT model can achieve similar therapeutic effects as traditional transplantation models, with lower rates of severe mucosal inflammation and infection compared with traditional transplantation models.

With the advance of the economy and population aging, the acceleration of urbanization and the change of people's lifestyles, the prevalence of chronic diseases has become very serious. However, the etiologies and pathogeneses of the diseases are not yet clear, and the evidence of effective prevention and treatment strategies is lacking. Cohort study is an important method for exploring etiology and pathogenesis. Therefore, based on the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology for precision medicine in 2016, we launched a prospective cohort study of common chronic and non-communicable diseases in three provinces (Hubei, Hunan and Henan) in central China. Three independent and integratable sub-cohorts consisting of 115 424 participants at baseline survey and 107 252 participants in follow up were established, including dynamic measurements in 39 000 subjects in Dongfeng-Tongji prospective cohort. Each participant was asked to complete a questionnaire survey, an anthropometric measurement, a laboratory measurement, and blood and urine samples were collected from them. The cohort study contributes greatly to elucidating the etiologies and pathogeneses of common chronic and non-communicable disease in Chinese population and the development of precision medicine in China. This paper briefly introduces the design concept, basic information, major achievements and progress, and challenges of the prospective cohort study of common chronic and non-communicable diseases in central China.

Gastrointestinal mucositis is one of the most debilitating side effects of the chemotherapeutic agent irinotecan (CPT-11). Andrographolide, a natural bicyclic diterpenoid lactone, has been reported to possess anti-colitis activity. In this study, andrographolide treatment was found to significantly relieve CPT-11-induced colitis in tumor-bearing mice without decreasing the tumor suppression effect of CPT-11. CPT-11 causes DNA damage and the release of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) from the intestine, leading to cyclic-GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)‒stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-mediated colitis, which was significantly decreased by andrographolide both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistic studies revealed that andrographolide could promote homologous recombination (HR) repair and downregulate dsDNA‒cGAS‒STING signaling and contribute to the improvement of CPT-11-induced gastrointestinal mucositis. These results suggest that andrographolide may be a novel agent to relieve gastrointestinal mucositis caused by CPT-11.
