OBJECTIVE:To provide basic industrial research and development recommendations for the supply-side structural reform in drug distribution in China. METHODS:Structure-conduct-performance(SCP)analysis paradigm from Harvard was used for in-depth study of market structure,business conduct and business performance in China since 2010. RESULTS:Since 2010, drug distribution industry in China had shown the scale of decline in the growth rate,low market concentration,increased barriers to entry,the leading of state-owned capital,etc. Though corporate mergers and acquisitions and public financing expanded the scale,management information,third-party logistics,Internet+and pharmacy alliance business model flourished,the industry op-erating performance was poor,state-owned enterprises showed poor performance. CONCLUSIONS:The transformation and upgrad-ing of the industry business model should be promoted by targetedly accelerating the supply-side structural reforms in the drug distri-bution industry,encouraging corporate finance mergers,breaking local protectionism,developing cooperative pharmacies and phar-maceutical third-party logistics alliances and leveraging the Internet.

Objective:To explore CT and MRI features of the endolymphatic sac tumor (ELST).Methods:The CT and MRI morphology confirmed by surgical pathology for 19 patients with ELST were retrospectively analyzed from June 2011 to May 2019 in Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University. The features of CT and MRI included location, size, adjacent structures invasion, CT values, bone destruction, features of T 1WI and T 2WI, enhancement distribution characteristics, dynamic enhancement curve morphology, DWI signal characteristics. The ADC values of the lesions and ipsilateral medial pterygoid muscles were compared using a paired t test. Results:Nineteen ELST patients (one with bilateral diseases) were included. Totally 20 ears (right 9 and left 11) of 13 females and 6 males were studied. The masses with slightly high-density and obscure boundary were located around the vestibular aqueduct at the posterior edge of the petrosal bone. Bone destruction involved mastoid process of the middle ear (16 ears), jugular foramen (11 ears), semicircular canal (10 ears), facial nerve canal (7 ears) and internal auditory canal (9 ears). A large amount of residual bone could be found in the interior of nineteen masses. The CT value was (78.6±21.9) HU. The lesion showed central iso-intensity and peripheral hyperintensity on T 1WI and T 2WI in 16 ears, while no obvious hyperintensity on T 1WI in the other 4 ears. The hyperintensity on T 1WI was around the margin of the lesion in 10 ears, situated at lateral side in 5 ears and all over the lesion in 1 ear. Flow voids signals could be seen in 9 ears as well. Liquid-liquid plane was seen on T 2WI in 2 ears. The solid mass portion which showed iso-intensity on both T 1WI and T 2WI presented marked enhancement on contrast-enhanced T 1WI, while other part of the mass no enhancement. DWI of 14 ears illustrates no evidence of restricted diffusion, and the ADC value [(1.25±0.08)×10 -3 mm 2/s] was slightly higher than that of the medial pterygoid muscles ( t=4.437, P=0.001). The style of time-signal intensity curves of the dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI was rapidly ascending followed by descending curves in 2 ears. Conclusion:Imaging findings of ELST have some characteristics, including located around the vestibular aqueduct at the posterior edge of the petrosal bone, bone destruction, peripheral hyperintensity on T 1WI and no restricted diffusion, which is helpful for its diagnosis.

Objective To study the effect of maternal subclinical thyroid abnormalities [including subclinical hypothyroidism, hypothyroxinemia and positive anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) with normal thyroid function] in women during 16-20 weeks of gestation on offspfing's intellectual development and motor function. Methods Sera from 1 268 women during 16-20 weeks of gestation (collected 2 years ago) were obtained and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), total thyroxine (TT4), free thyroxine (FT4) and TPOAb levels were measured. Pregnant specific thyroid function reference ranges were used to screen for subclinical hypothyroidism (18 cases), hypothyroxinemia (19 cases) and positive TPOAb (34 cases). From the same cohort, a total of 142 pregnant women who were euthyroid with negative TPOAb were selected as controls (a case: control ratio of 1 : 2). Intellectual and motor development score evaluations were performed in their children at 25-30 months of age. Results In the group of pregnant women with subclinical hypothyroidism, the offspring' s intelligence score was (109.89±13.81) points, which was 8.88 points lower than in the control group (P < 0.01). Similarly, the motor score of the offspring was (108.11±9.93) points, which was 9.98 points lower than in the control group (P < 0.01). In the pregnant women with hypothyroxinemia, the offspring's intelligence score was (112.32±15.10) points, 9.30 points lower than in the control group (P <0.01); the motor score was (112.21±12.26) points, 7.57 points lower than in the control group (P < 0.01). In the pregnant women with positive TPOAb and euthyroid function, the offspring's intelligence score was (112.70±20.64) points, 10.56 points lower than in the control group (P < 0.01); the motor score was (110.64±12.49) points, 9.03 points lower than in the control group (P < 0.01). Conclusion Maternal subclinical thyroid abnormality between 16-20 weeks of gestation adversely may affect offspring intellectual and motor development, suggesting the necessity for screening and treatment of maternal subclinical thyroid abnormality in the early stages of pregnancy.

ObjectiveTo develop a systematic case management model based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Vocational Rehabilitation Core Set (VR-CS) and explore its application pathways and efficacy in vocational rehabilitation. The 13 core categories of VR-CS are applied in vocational rehabilitation case management practices, utilizing comprehensive functional assessments to design and implement structured and individualized case management plans. This, in turn, seeks to enhance individuals' vocational independence, social participation and overall quality of life. MethodsThis study adopted a combined approach of theoretical research and empirical case analysis. Based on the 13 core categories of VR-CS, a comprehensive vocational assessment was conducted across three dimensions: body function and structure, activities and participation, and environmental factors. The study theoretically analyzed how to develop and implement holistic and individualized vocational rehabilitation plans, along with dynamic monitoring processes. Three types of typical vocational rehabilitation cases were examined, including individuals with major depressive disorder, high-functioning autism and mild cognitive impairment, to illustrate the evidence and effectiveness of VR-CS-based case management. ResultsThe VR-CS-based case management method, grounded in the ICF bio-psycho-social model, constructed an integrated and individualized case management system. This system combined the assessment and analysis of vocational rehabilitation needs, goal setting and planning, multidisciplinary team intervention, individualized interventions, process monitoring and dynamic adjustments, return-to-work activities, and long-term follow-up services.The case management model developed through VR-CS demonstrated significant and systematic efficacy in promoting vocational independence and social participation. This study provided a detailed analysis of the primary methods and steps involved in designing and implementing case management and elaborates on the practical applications of this model from the three representative cases. At the body function and structure level, case management included the evaluation of energy and drive functions (b130), high-level cognitive training (b164), and the enhancement of exercise tolerance (b455). Case management focused on accurately setting short- and long-term goals around functional limitations and needs. Dynamic monitoring during interventions ensured timely adjustments to intervention measures. This process improved physical endurance and cognitive function, enhanced sustained work capacity in complex vocational environments. At the activities and participation level, the focus was on skill acquisition (d155), stress management and psychological adjustment (d240), and the cultivation of complex interpersonal communication abilities (d720). Individuals engaged in regular professional skills training, role-playing and simulated work scenarios to progressively enhance vocational adaptability and social interaction skills. Through this process, individuals acquired practical skills, gradually boosting self-efficacy and vocational confidence, thereby facilitating the reshaping of their social roles. At the environmental and personal factors level, case management pathways involved active participation from immediate family (e310), positive shifts in societal attitudes (e460), and the effective utilization of health and employment policy resources (e580, e590). By integrating social and community resources comprehensively, the program created a more inclusive and supportive rehabilitation environment. By designing and implementing systematic case management programs, individuals showed significant improvements in psychological well-being, vocational adaptability and social interaction skills. The majority of cases achieved stable employment or continued participation in social activities following the intervention. ConclusionVR-CS provides a systematic, multidimensional and person-centered case management framework. This framework applies the bio-psycho-social model, analyzing individuals' primary functional impairments and vocational rehabilitation needs from the perspectives of body functions, psychological states and environmental factors. On this basis, a comprehensive, targeted and holistic case management plan is developed and implemented. The VR-CS-based case management approach not only enhances vocational capabilities but also improves overall quality of life and social adaptability.

ObjectiveTo reconstruct the vocational rehabilitation service process based on the framework and tools of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), to establish a systematic and standardized vocational rehabilitation service system to achieve the integrated development of vocational rehabilitation and other rehabilitation services, and to improve the overall rehabilitation effect and quality of life of people with disabilities. By establishing a systematic and standardized vocational rehabilitation service system, it provides function-oriented, holistic rehabilitation services for the whole person. MethodsThis study adopted the ICF framework and tools to conduct a systematic analysis of the vocational rehabilitation process. Based on this, according to the functional characteristics and systematic application of ICF-based tools, a vocational rehabilitation process was constructed, including functional assessment and rehabilitation goal setting, rehabilitation plan formulation, implementation of multidisciplinary intervention, outcome evaluation and quality of life assessment, and long-term follow-up and support. ResultsBased on the ICF framework and the application of ICF tools, according to the characteristics and nature of work of vocational rehabilitation institutions for persons with disabilities, a five-step vocational rehabilitation process was constructed. The main activity content of each process was defined in detail, and the ICF tools used and the methods of application were determined. The reengineering of the vocational rehabilitation process significantly improved the efficiency and quality of multidisciplinary comprehensive rehabilitation. The ICF framework and tools were the conceptual framework and platform for communication and collaboration among multidisciplinary teams. According to different vocational rehabilitation processes, the normative application of ICF-based tools ensured the development and implementation of scientific and effective rehabilitation intervention programs. The use of ICF-based tools also integrated vocational rehabilitation with other rehabilitation services, and achieved synergy among different rehabilitation services and different rehabilitation institutions. ConclusionThis study reengineered the vocational rehabilitation process based on the ICF framework, and constructed an ICF-based vocational rehabilitation process including the following five key processes, namely functional assessment and rehabilitation goal setting, formulating personalized and holistic rehabilitation plan, multidisciplinary team implementing comprehensive intervention strategies, evaluations of outcome and quality of life, and long-term follow-up and support services. Using the ICF framework and tools, the vocational rehabilitation service process of rehabilitation institutions has been reengineered, and an integrated rehabilitation service system has been constructed to provide a function-oriented comprehensive rehabilitation model, so that people with disabilities could receive whole-person rehabilitation services throughout their life cycle. Establishing a common language and tools based on ICF can effectively improve communication and collaboration among professionals, and also provide standardized tools for cross-institutional service integration, which is conducive to achieve smooth collaboration and information sharing among different rehabilitation institutions, ensuring the smooth transition of people with disabilities between different rehabilitation stages and institutions, and ensuring the coherence and integrity of the rehabilitation process.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of bosutinib on acute lung injury in mice with endotoxemia.Methods:Sixty clean-grade healthy male C57BL/6 mice, aged 8-12 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=15 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), bosutinib group (group B), endotoxemia group (group lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) and bosutinib plus endotoxemia group (group B+ LPS). Septic acute lung injury model was developed by intraperitoneal injection of LPS.Bosutinib 5 mg/kg was injected via the tail vein at 0.5 h before establishing the model in group B+ LPS and at the corresponding time point in group B. At 24 h after developing the model, the mice were sacrificed for microscopic examination of the pathological results of lung tissues which were scored for calculation of the lung coefficient (LI) and wet/dry lung weight (W/D) ratio, and for determination of the content of Evans blue in lung tissues (by Evans blue staining), expression of vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin), vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), phosphorylated nuclear transcription factor κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65), phosphorylated nuclear factor κB inhibitory protein α (pIκB-α) (by Western blot) and expression of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) mRNA (using real-time polymerase chain reaction). Results:Compared with group C, the LI, W/D ratio, Evans blue content in lung tissues and lung injury score were significantly increased, and the expression of IL-1β mRNA, TNF-α mRNA, IL-6 mRNA, VCAM-1, p-NF-κB p65 and pIKB-α was up-regulated, and the expression of VE-cadherin was down-regulated in group LPS ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group B ( P>0.05). Compared with group B, the LI, W/D ratio, Evans blue content in lung tissues and lung injury score were significantly decreased, and the expression of IL-1β mRNA, TNF-α mRNA, IL-6 mRNA, VCAM-1, p-NF-κB p65 and pIKB-α was down-regulated, and the expression of VE-cadherin was up-regulated in group LPS ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Bosutinib can ameliorate the acute lung injury in mice with endotoxemia.
