Objective To investigate the effects of cannabinoid receptor agonist,WIN55212-2(WIN),on acute kidney injury(AKI)in mice with sepsis and its underlying mechanism.Methods Twenty-four healthy male mice were divided into(n=6):Control group,sepsis group(LPS group),sepsis+WIN55212-2 group(LPS+WIN group)and sepsis+WIN55212-2+mTOR activator MHY1485 group(LPS+WIN+MHY group).The sepsis model was constructed by intraperitoneal injection of LPS.After the tissue and blood samples were harvested in 24 h after modeling,ELISA was used to determine the contents of IL-1β,IL-18 and lactate dehydrogenase A(LDHA)in the renal tissues,as well as Scr,kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1)and lactic acid(LA)in the serum.HE staining was employed to observe the pathological changes of kidney tissue and Paller score was calculated.The expression of p-AKT,p-Mtor and 6-phosphofructokinase-2/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 3(PFKFB3)in the renal tissues was detected by Western blotting.Results Compared with the Control group,the LPS group had obvious kidney tissue damage,increased Paller score(P<0.05),increased serum contents of lactic acid,Scr and KIM-1(P<0.05),up-regulated contents of LDHA,IL-1β and IL-18 in the renal tissues(P<0.05),and elevated expression levels of p-AKT,p-Mtor and PFKFB3 in the renal tissues(P<0.05).Milder pathological injury in kidney tissue,decreased Paller score(P<0.05),reduced contents of lactic acid,Scr and KIM-1(P<0.05),decreased contents of LDHA,IL-1β and IL-18(P<0.05),and lower expression of p-AKT,p-Mtor and PFKFB3 were observed in the LPS+WIN group than the LPS group(P<0.05).The LPS+WIN+MHY group had notably higher Paller score(P<0.05),raised contents of lactic acid,Scr and KIM-1(P<0.05),increased contents of LDHA,IL-1β and IL-18(P<0.05),and up-regulated expression of p-AKT,p-Mtor and PFKFB3(P<0.05)when compared with the LPS+WIN group.Conclusion WIN can alleviate AKI in sepsis,and it may reduce the level of glycolysis in renal tissue,and alleviate inflammation through inhibiting AKT/Mtor/PFKFB3 signaling pathway.

Objective To introduce a traceability closed-loop management system for the entire process of drug dispensing in the inpatient department.Methods In line with the requirements for intelligent healthcare construction and six-level electronic medical records development,a paperless drug dispensing process for the inpatient department was designed.A traceability closed-loop management system was established by improving both hardware equipment and software function.The system's practical effectiveness was evaluated from multiple perspectives.Results With process transformation,the workflow efficiency of doctors,nurses,pharmacists and clinical support staff has been significantly improved.Costs in terms of human resources and materials have been reduced,and the safe and rational use of medication has been promoted.Conclusions The improved process,which is based on the construction of intelligent devices and information technology,achieves a closed-loop and traceable management system for the entire drug dispensing process in the inpatient department.This system offers the benefits of safety,standardization,efficiency,and closed-loop traceability.It reduces the risk of dispensing mistakes,improves the safety of medication and has strong scalability.
