OBJECTIVE To construct a closed-loop management model for externally dispensed intravenous prescriptions， and to provide reference for standardized management of externally dispensed intravenous prescriptions. METHODS Based on the Expert Consensus on Closed-loop Management of Externally Dispensed Intravenous Prescriptions in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region previously formulated by our hospital， risk points during the entire process were systematically identified through multidisciplinary team brainstorming and a fishbone diagram. A series of strategies were subsequently formulated and implemented， including qualifying designated external dispensing pharmacies and the drug catalogs， operating and maintaining the hospital information system and the Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Service （PIVAS） intelligent management platform， and strengthening differentiated training for staff in the whole workflow. A whole-process closed-loop management system was constructed with PIVAS as the co re hub and the daytime chemotherapy center as the safety terminal. RESULTS A total of 3 cooperating pharmacies and an initial drug list comprising 35 product specifications were selected. A closed‑loop management process encompassing hospital outpatient prescribing， patient drug purchase in designated pharmacies， PIVAS drug dispensing， and medication use in daytime chemotherapy center was successfully established. This system enabled the mandatory grouping and association of externally dispensed intravenous prescriptions with in-hospital diluents， full-process verification based on drug traceability codes， intelligent monitoring of infusion parameters， and whole-process data traceability. CONCLUSIONS The constructed model effectively resolves the coordination and safety oversight during the use of externally dispensed intravenous drugs from out-of-hospital circulation to in-hospital use， and has preliminarily enabled procedural standardization， whole-process information traceability， and proactive control of medication risks.

Objective To construct a prognostic model of centrosome amplification-related genes(CARGs)by machine learning and evaluate its prediction performance for the prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).Methods CARGs were obtained from Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)datasets.The RNA-sequencing(RNA-seq)transcriptome datasets of ESCC were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO),and assigned into training and validation sets,respectively.Subsequently,single-sample gene set enrichment analysis(ssGSEA)and weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA)were employed to screen CARGs.A prognostic model of CARGs was constructed by incorporating 12 machine learning algorithms,and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were applied to evaluate whether the 12 models as an independent prognostic factor or not.Eventually,15 paired ESCC and adjacent non-tumor tissue samples were collected from the Department of Gastroenterology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University,and real-time quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)and immunohistochemistry staining were performed to detect the expression of these genes ESCC samples.Results Our 9-CARGs prediction model for ESCC prognosis was constructed.RT-qPCR confirmed that the mRNA expression levels of DENR,TRIP13,BRCA2,TTF2,TCFL5 and NUP188 were significantly higher in ESCC tissues than normal tissues(P<0.05),and the protein levels of DENR,TRIP13,TTF2 and TCFL5 were also elevated when compared to normal tissues.Conclusion DENR,TRIP13,TTF2 and TCFL5 are highly expressed and closely associated with poor prognosis of ESCC,suggesting their potential roles in the pathogenesis and progression of this malignancy.

Monotropein is a compound classified into iridoid which is found in herbaceous plants Morindae officinalis. It possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-osteoarthritic activities. Previous study indicates that monotropein may have the potential to combat cardiovascular disease, although the related mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we constructed the model of atherosclerosis by oxidized low density lipoprotein-induced vascular smooth muscle cells and LDLR –/–mice given high-fat diet to investigate the effects of monotropein on atherosclerosis.Our results showed that monotropein treatment significantly reduced the area of atherosclerotic plaques and necrotic cores in mice, inhibited the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells, and reduced inflammatory responses and oxidative stress, which in turn alleviated atherosclerosis. In addition, we found that monotropein reduced the expression levels of P-NF-κB and P-AP-1. In conclusion, our data suggest that monotropein inhibited the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells by mediating the activity of NF-κB, AP-1, reducing the level of inflammation and oxidative stress, and thus resisting the development of atherosclerosis. These findings demonstrate the efficacious therapeutic impact of monotropein on atherosclerosis and elucidate its specific target.

Objective To investigate the effects of different contrast injection schemes on the image quality of triple-rule-out com-puted tomography angiography(TRO-CTA).Methods A total of 691 patients with acute chest pain who underwent TRO-CTA exami-nation from multiple centers were prospectively selected and randomly divided into mixed group and unmixed group according to dif-ferent contrast injection methods.The image quality of aorta,pulmonary artery and coronary artery in the two groups was evaluated subjectively and objectively and the radiation dose was calculated.Results There were no significant differences in subjective image quality scores,aorta and coronary CT values,signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)between the two groups(P>0.05),while there were significant differences in pulmo-nary CT values,SNR,CNR and radiation dose between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion The utilization of a mixed contrast injection scheme in TRO-CTA can satisfy diagnostic require-ments while ensuring a low proportional dosage and reduced radiation dose,which has clinical application value.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of Full-endoscopic pars debridement, graft with autograft and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2), and percutaneous pedicle screw (PPS) fixation for the treatment of lumbar spondylolysis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for the case data of 8 patients (7 males and 1 female) of lumbar spondylolysis treated with full-endoscopic pars bone graft with autograft and rhBMP-2 combined with PPS fixation in the fourth medical center of PLA general hospital. The mean age was 21.8±4.1 years (range, 16-29 years). All cases had mono-segmental bilateral pars defects, including 2 cases of L 4 and 6 cases of L 5. The visual analogue scale (VAS) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) were recorded before and after surgery. MacNab score was used to evaluate the final clinical outcome of lumbar function at 1 year after the removal of internal fixation. Multi-planar reconstruction of CT scans was used to evaluate the bone healing at 6 and 12 months after the operation, and par condition at 1 year after the removal of internal fixation. Pfirrmann's grading system through MRI was used to grade disc degeneration in the fixed and adjacent discs respectively before the operation, before the removal of internal fixation, and 1 year after the removal of internal fixation. Results:All the operations were successfully completed. All patients were followed up for 24-30 months, with an average follow-up time of 27.75±3.11 months. Both VAS of back pain (1.63±0.74, 1.25±0.71、1.00±0.53) and ODI (10.25%±5.17%、6.33%±5.03%、4.86%±3.35%) at 6 and 12 months after the operation and 1 year after the removal of internal fixation were improved compared with those preoperatively (7.25±1.04 and 40.67%±9.67%), with significant differences ( P<0.05). The improvement rates of VAS and ODI at one year after pars repair were 83.31%±8.85% and 85.22%±9.60%, respectively. The improvement rates of VAS and ODI at one year after the removal of internal fixation were 85.96%±6.97% and 88.05%±7.25%, respectively. At the final follow-up, 7 patients had excellent results and 1 patient had good results according to the MacNab criteria. There were 3 patients bony healed in 6 months postoperatively and the remaining 5 patients bony healed in 12 months postoperatively. There was no pars re-rupture at the one-year follow-up after the removal of internal fixation. Disc degeneration increase one grade at the fixed disc in one patient before and after the removal of internal fixation than before pars repair surgery. Disc degeneration increase one grade at the adjacent disc in one patient before and after the removal of internal fixation than before pars repair surgery. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications, such as nerve injury, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, incision exudation, infection, or breakdown of internal fixation device. Conclusions:Full-endoscopic pars bone debridement, graft with autograft and rhBMP-2, followed by PPS fixation is a safe and effective minimally invasive spine surgery for treating lumbar spondylolysis. It has the advantages of a high fusion rate, low incidence of complications, no pars re-rupture after the removal of internal fixation and no significantly increasing intervertebral disc degeneration in fixed and adjacent discs.
