OBJECTIVE To explore the transformation of the dispensing and drug pickup process in traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy （TCM Pharmacy） in our hospital based on data-intelligence-driven， aiming to improve pharmacists’ work efficiency and patients’ drug pickup experience. METHODS Value stream mapping and journey mapping were used to systematically identify non-value-added links in pharmacists’ dispensing process and key pain points in patients’ drug pickup under the traditional process. An intelligent dispensing and drug pickup system for the TCM Pharmacy was developed based on the C# and Android television platforms， and a machine-learning model was adopted to predict patients’ drug pickup waiting time. A comprehensive evaluation was performed from three perspectives： system performance， prediction accuracy， and satisfaction of pharmacists and patients. RESULTS The system successfully streamlined non-value-added links such as “waiting for writing on the board” and “searching for drugs”， and realized multimodal dynamic prompts of dispensing status through auditory （number calling） and visual （television terminal） channels. The constructed model for predicting drug pickup waiting time exhibited good fitting degree and generalization ability （mean absolute error＝4.28 min， R 2 ＝0.882）. The comprehensive satisfaction scores of pharmacists and patients in the traditional mode were significantly increased from （70.99±1.74） and （73.58±1.98） to （90.02±1.30） and （88.61±2.08） in the new system， respectively （ P ＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS The transformation of the intelligent drug dispensing and pickup system for TCM pharmacy based on data-intelligence-driven effectively improves the efficiency of pharmacists’ dispensing work， realizes process transparency and waiting time predictability， and significantly enhances patients’ drug pickup experience.

Objective: The efficacy of antidepressants is influenced by a combination of genetic, individual, and environmental factors. This study aimed to investigate the association between the miR-182 rs76481776 polymorphism and the response to antidepressant treatment in major depressive disorder (MDD) patients, and its underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods: This study enrolled 180 MDD patients and 180 healthy controls. The rs76481776 genotype was determined using TaqMan-based qPCR. The severity of depression and treatment response were assessed using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD). The expression of miR-182 and BDNF was measured using RT-qPCR. The regulatory relationship between miR-182 and BDNF was confirmed through a luciferase reporter gene assay. The correlation between miR-182 and BDNF expression was evaluated using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The T allele of rs76481776 was a significant risk factor for MDD (OR = 2.182, 95% CI: 1.424−3.345, p ＜ 0.001) and was significantly associated with higher baseline scores on the HAMD. Moreover, individuals carrying the T allele (CT/TT genotype) exhibited a significantly poorer response to antidepressant treatment and a lower remission rate within 12 months compared to those with the CC genotype (p ＜ 0.05). Mechanistically, miR-182 was highly expressed in patients with MDD (p ＜ 0.05), and its expression was even higher in T allele carriers (p ＜ 0.05). miR-182 could directly target and suppress BDNF, leading to decreased BDNF expression in MDD patients, and its expression was significantly and inversely correlated with BDNF expression. Conclusion The T allele of rs76481776 diminished the therapeutic efficacy of antidepressants by up-regulating miR-182 expression and subsequently suppressing BDNF expression.

BACKGROUND:Cervical disc herniation can cause pain in the neck and shoulder area,as well as radiating pain in the upper limbs.The incidence rate is increasing year by year and tends to affect younger individuals.Fully understanding the biomechanical characteristics of the cervical spine in adolescents is of great significance for preventing and delaying the onset of cervical disc herniation in this age group. OBJECTIVE:To reconstruct cervical spine models for both healthy adolescents and adolescent patients with cervical disc herniation utilizing finite element analysis techniques,to analyze the motion range of the C1-T1 cervical vertebrae as well as the biomechanical characteristics of the annulus fibrosus,nucleus pulposus,endplates,and the cartilage of the small joints. METHODS:A normal adolescent's cervical spine and an adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation were selected in this study.The continuous scan cervical spine CT raw image data were imported into Mimics 21.0 in DICOM format.The C1-T1 vertebrae were reconstructed separately.Subsequently,the established models were imported into the 3-Matic software for disc reconstruction.The perfected models were then imported into Hypermesh software for meshing of the vertebrae,nucleus pulposus,annulus fibrosus,and ligaments,creating valid geometric models.After assigning material properties,the final models were imported into ABAQUS software to observe the joint motion range of the C1-C7 cervical vertebrae segments under different conditions,and to analyze the biomechanical characteristics of the annulus fibrosus,nucleus pulposus,endplates,and small joint cartilage of each cervical spine segment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In six different conditions,the joint motion range of the C1 vertebra in the cervical spine models of both normal adolescent and adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation was higher than that of the other vertebrae.Additionally,the joint motion range of each cervical spine segment in normal adolescent was greater than that in adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation.(2)In the cervical spine model of normal adolescent,the maximum stress values in the annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus were found on the left side during C2-3 flexion conditions(0.43 MPa and 0.17 MPa,respectively).In the cervical spine model of adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation,the maximum stress values were found on the left side during C7-T1 flexion conditions(0.54 MPa and 0.18 MPa,respectively).(3)In the cervical spine model of normal adolescent,the maximum stress value on the endplate was found on the left side of the upper endplate of C3 during flexion conditions(1.46 MPa).In the model of adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation,the maximum stress value on the endplate was found on the left side of the lower endplate of C7 during flexion conditions(1.32 MPa).(4)In the cervical spine model of normal adolescent,the maximum stress value in the small joint cartilage was found in the C2-3 left rotation conditions(0.98 MPa).In adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation,the stress in the small joint cartilage significantly increased under different conditions,especially in C1-2,with the maximum stress found during left flexion(3.50 MPa).(5)It is concluded that compared to normal adolescent,adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation exhibits altered cervical curvature and a decrease in overall joint motion range in the cervical spine.In adolescent with cervical disc herniation,there is a significant increase in stress on the annulus fibrosus,nucleus pulposus,and endplates in the C7-T1 segment.The stress on the left articular cartilage of the C1-2 is notable.Abnormal cervical curvature may be the primary factor causing these stress changes.

Objective This study aimed to apply the integrated Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services(i-PARIHS)framework to translate best evidence into clinical practice,with the goal of reducing unplanned discontinua-tion of continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)and providing guidance for clinical staff.Methods A systematic search was conducted for guidelines,systematic reviews,evidence summaries,and expert consensus documents related to unplanned CRRT discontinuation.Retrieved literature underwent quality appraisal,synthesis,and integration.Through evidence-based group discussions,baseline clinical audits,and FAME(Feasibility,Appropriateness,Meaningfulness,Effectiveness)-based evi-dence appraisal,implementation strategies were developed across three i-PARIHS dimensions:context,recipients,and facilita-tion.Outcomes including unplanned CRRT discontinuation rates,average length of hospital stay,mortality,and nurse competen-cy were compared before and after evidence implementation.Results After evidence extraction,synthesis,and contextual adap-tation,a site-specific evidence translation model was established,comprising 16 audit criteria with corresponding review methods.Following implementation,significant reductions were observed in unplanned CRRT discontinuation rates,average length of stay,and mortality(all P＜0.05).Nurses' nursing competency also improved significantly(P＜0.05),indicating a positive impact of the evidence translation initiative.Conclusion The i-PARIHS framework effectively reduces unplanned CRRT discontinuation and is applicable in clinical practice.The results offer evidence for improving nursing quality and offering a reference for future evidence translation initiatives in critical care.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic left hemi-fundoplica-tion for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Method:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 45 patients with GERD who were admitted to Hebei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from July 2019 to July 2022 were collected. There were 26 males and 19 females, aged (46±12) years. All patients underwent laparoscopic left hemi-fundoplication. Observation indicators: (1) intraoperative and postoperative conditions; (2) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as Mean± SD. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers. The paired samples t-test was used for comparison of indicators before and after surgery. Result:(1) Intraoperative and postoperative conditions. All 45 patients successfully underwent the operation, with no conversion to open surgery or intraoperative complications. The operation time was (86±8)minutes, volume of intraoperative blood loss was (12±3)mL, and time to postoperative first flatus was (2.2±0.8)days. Among the 45 patients after surgery, 4 cases had fever, 3 cases had retrosternal dull pain and discomfort, 4 cases had dysphagia, 3 cases had abdominal distension, and 5 cases had constipation. All these symptoms were cured or relieved spontaneously after sympto-matic treatment. The duration of postoperative hospital stay was (3.5±0.5)days. There was no patient with infection, delayed bleeding or perforation.(2) Follow-up. All 45 patients were followed up for 1 year after surgery, with no recurrence of GERD. Gastroscopy showed no esophageal mucosal damage such as erosion or ulcer, and no hiatal hernia occurred. Before surgery, the reflux symptom index score, GERD questionnaire score, reflux disease questionnaire score, lower esophageal sphincter resting pressure, and DeMeester score of 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring were 24.3±1.9, 12.5±2.1,20.1±4.5, (7.1±1.1)mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), and 31.4±6.4, respectively. At 1 year after surgery, the above indicators were 2.2±0.7, 6.5±0.5, 4.0±2.6, (23.2±2.9)mmHg, and 6.0±1.4, respectively. There were significant differences before and after surgery ( t=80.75, 18.70,20.09, -33.45, 26.15, P<0.05). Conclusion:Laparoscopic left hemi-fundoplication is safe and feasible for GERD, which can improve the clinical symptoms of patients.

Objective:To deeply understand the psychological experiences and needs of ward nurses caring for elderly patients with postoperative delirium, providing insights for improving their care capabilities.Methods:A descriptive qualitative study was conducted using purposive sampling to select nurses from the surgical wards of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine who had cared for elderly patients with postoperative delirium between January and March 2024. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and traditional content analysis was used to extract themes.Results:Sixteen surgical ward nurses, aged 26-48 years old and all female, were interviewed. Four themes and nine sub-themes were identified: internal stress in caring for elderly patients with postoperative delirium (concerns about failing to recognize changes in condition, leading to delayed treatment; physical and psychological stress overwhelming nursing work); external challenges in caring for elderly patients with postoperative delirium (uncontrollable patient behavior; lack of close collaboration between medical staff; lack of awareness among patient families about postoperative delirium); lack of knowledge about postoperative delirium (difficulty in identifying subtypes of postoperative delirium; lack of knowledge about postoperative delirium management); and a desire for systematic professional support (urgent need for operational guidelines on postoperative delirium management in elderly patients; expectation for the establishment of a multidisciplinary team for postoperative delirium management in elderly patients).Conclusions:Nursing managers should pay attention to the physical and mental health of ward nurses, provide multifaceted support, strengthen their knowledge about postoperative delirium in elderly patients, optimize postoperative delirium management, and improve their care capabilities.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

Objective To construct machine learning models to predict the incidence of linezolid-induced thrombocytopenia(LIT).Methods A total of 198 patients treated with linezolid in a hospital between January 2020 and March 2024 were retrospectively included.Firstly,the patients were divided into LIT and non-LIT groups,and the basic characteristics of the two groups were compared.Then,the variables with significant differences between the two groups were selected as potential risk factors to construct models for predicting LIT,including Logistic regression,decision tree and random forest models,and the prediction performance of the models was evaluated and compared.Results There were 52(26.3％)patients developed LIT during the treatment.The univariate analysis showed significant differences in linezolid trough concentration(Cmin),baseline platelet counts and creatinine clearance,the incidence of cerebrovascular disease,acute respiratory distress syndrome,and abdominal infection in patients with and without LIT.Among the three models built based on these variables,the random forest model has the best predictive performance.The results of variable importance analysis based on random forest model showed that Cmin,baseline platelet count and combined with acute respiratory distress syndrome had higher importance scores.Conclusions The random forest model has high accuracy in predicting the occurrence of LIT,and the risk of LIT is higher in patients with higher levels of linezolid exposure and lower baseline platelets.

Accessory mitral valve（AMV）refers to the additional valvular structural components connected to the normal mitral valve. It is a rare congenital cardiovascular malformation with an incidence of approximately 1/26 000. Most patients have no obvious symptoms and are often accidentally detected during echocardiography due to the presence of other associated cardiac malformations. The combination of AMV with left ventricular outflow tract（LVOT）vegetations is extremely rare and may be related to infective endocarditis. In this case，a 48-year-old male patient was discovered to have a "cardiac mass" during treatment for a cerebral infarction at an external hospital and was admitted to China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University for further diagnosis and treatment. Over the past 3 months，the patient experienced intermittent fever，accompanied by chest tightness and pain during physical exertion. The patient had a history of gout and diabetes. Transthoracic echocardiography（TTE）and transesophageal echocardiography revealed left ventricular outflow tract obstruction，accessory mitral valve（membranous fixed type），and a space-occupying lesion on the ventricular septal side within the left ventricular outflow tract. The final diagnosis of vegetation in the left ventricular outflow tract and accessory mitral valve was confirmed through surgical resection and postoperative pathology. Postoperative TTE showed a significant reduction in the flow velocity and pressure gradient within the left ventricular outflow tract. Echocardiography，with its advantages of simplicity，non-invasiveness，and repeatability，allows for the direct observation of accessory mitral valve and other cardiac abnormalities，evaluation of valve function and hemodynamic changes，and assessment of the left ventricular outflow tract obstruction condition. It facilitates preoperative diagnosis and postoperative follow-up，serving as the gold standard for diagnosing accessory mitral valve.
