OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of pharmaceutical care in medical institutions in China, and provide experience and suggestions for better development of pharmaceutical care. METHODS Questionnaire survey was used to investigate the development of pharmaceutical care in medical institutions in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly) in March 2023, and descriptive analysis and binary logistic regression analysis on the influencing factors of pharmaceutical care were conducted. RESULTS A total of 1 368 questionnaires were sent out, and 1 304 valid questionnaires were collected with the effective recovery rate of 95.32%. Pharmaceutical care was carried out in 671 medical institutions (51.46%), and the rates of pharmaceutical care in tertiary, secondary, primary and other medical institutions were 74.79%, 27.97% and 7.35%, respectively. The average number of patients receiving pharmaceutical care was 2 638.96 per year, and there were 8.33 pharmacists in each medical institution to carry out pharmaceutical care, among which 93.68% were clinical pharmacists. The main departments covered by pharmaceutical care services included respiratory and critical care medicine, cardiology, intensive care unit, endocrinology, oncology, gastroenterology, obstetrics and gynecology and other departments. There were only 48 medical institutions (7.15%) with additional compensation for pharmaceutical care services. The main experiences of developing pharmaceutical care were to pay attention to talent cultivation and discipline construction, but the main difficulties were serious shortage of staff and qualified talents, low compensation level and low enthusiasm. Grade of medical institutions, the number of pharmacists engaged in clinical pharmacy, the number of qualified clinical pharmacists and the degree of information in the pharmacy department were the main influencing factors for carrying out pharmaceutical care (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS In recent years, pharmaceutical care in Chinese medical institutions has made certain progress, while that of primary medical institutions, secondary medical institutions and other medical institutions should be improved. In the future, it is still necessary to further enhance the implementation of pharmaceutical care, promote personnel training, and attach importance to demonstrating the value of pharmaceutical care, thereby promoting the sustainable and high- quality development of pharmaceutical care.

Objective:
To investigate the attention cognitive function and symptom correlations of school aged children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)using event related potential (ERP) technology, so as to provide references for the early diagnosis of children with ADHD.
Methods:
A total of 52 school aged children diagnosed with ADHD at the outpatient department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2022 to September 2024 and 50 age /sex matched healthy controls were selected. The ERP experiment adopted the auditory Oddball task to conduct comparative analyses of the amplitude and latency of the mismatch negative(MMN) at the Fz, Cz, and Pz points of the scalp electrode and the P3a component respectively. The symptom assessment scales adopted the Swanson,Nolan,and Pelham-Ⅳ Rating Scale (SNAP-Ⅳ) and the Parent Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ), which were filled out by the parents. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between ERP components and symptoms in schoolaged children with ADHD.
Results:
The latency of MMN components in the healthy control group on the Fz lead was (188.30±2.06)ms, and the amplitude was (-15.54±1.35)μV; the latency of the P3a component on the Pz lead was (312.82±7.80)ms, and the amplitude was (3.80±0.18)μV. The latency of MMN components in the ADHD group on the Fz lead was (188.94±1.39)ms, and the amplitude was (-14.78±1.40)μV; the latency of the P3a component on the Pz lead was (317.21±5.65)ms, and the amplitude was (3.70±0.13)μV. Compared with normal children, the MMN of children with ADHD had smaller amplitudes in the Fz and Cz leads, and the P3a had greater latency and smaller amplitudes in the Cz and Pz leads ( t =2.79,2.20;-2.04,-3.25;2.35,3.21, P <0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the latency of MMN in children with ADHD was positively correlated with the inattention score in the SNAP-Ⅳ( r =0.22), and the amplitude of MMN was negatively correlated with the inattention score in the SNAP-Ⅳ and the learning problem score in PSQ ( r = -0.26 , -0.34)( P <0.05). The latency of P3a was positively correlated with the scores of inattention in the SNAP-Ⅳ and the score of learning problems in the PSQ ( r =0.26 ,0.24); the amplitude of P3a was negatively correlated with the scores of attention deficit and hyperactivity/impulsivity in the SNAP-Ⅳ and the scores of learning problems and impulsivity/hyperactivity in the PSQ( r = -0.26 , -0.22, -0.25,-0.32)( P <0.05).
Conclusions
School aged ADHD children exhibit abnormal MMN/P3a components, indicating attention related cognitive dysfunction. Symptoms such as inattention, learning problems and hyperactivity/impulsivity in children with ADHD are related to abnormal components of MMN and P3a.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of pudendal nerve modulation (PNM) in the treatment of female pudendal neuralgia (PN),so as to promote the clinical application of this technique. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 20 female PN patients who failed conservative treatment at Gongli Hospital during Nov.2020 and Oct.2023.All patients underwent simultaneous PNM and sacral nerve modulation (SNM) with the assistance of 3D printing navigation.Dual-stage test electrodes for PNM and SNM were implanted,followed by alternate therapeutic trial for each modality.Secondary conversion rates and longitudinal outcomes,including visual analogue score (VAS),patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9),and quality of life (QoL) scores were compared preoperatively,post-stage Ⅰ,and at 3,6,and 12 months post-stage Ⅱ. Results: All operations were successful.After the trial phase,the secondary conversion rate for PNM was significantly higher than that for SNM; 16 patients (16/20,80%) chose the second-phase PNM implantation surgery,3 (3/20,15%) chose second-phase SNM implantation,and 1 (1/20,5%) had electrodes removed due to ineffective results from both trials.Further assessment revealed that the improvements in VAS,PHQ-9,and QoL scores for PNM patients were significantly better than those for SNM patients after the first phase of surgery and at 3,6 and 12 months after the second-phase conversion (P<0.05).No complications such as electrode migration or infection were observed during the follow-up of 12-15 months. Conclusion: PNM provides more effective relief of pain symptoms and improvements in depressive states for female PN patients compared to SNM.With the assistance of 3D printing navigation,the operation is simple and safe,and offers stable therapeutic effects.It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness of "Internet plus" continuous intervention on psychological status and nursing satisfaction of patients with depression after hospital discharge, so as to provide the reference for reducing the recurrence risk of patients with depression and improving the quality of life.
Methods:
From January to December 2024, patients with mild to moderate depression who were hospitalized in a tertiary grade-a mental health specialized hospital in Wenzhou City and met the discharge criteria were selected as the research objects. The patients were divided into the control group and the intervention group according to a ratio of 1∶1 by the random number table method. Hamilton Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Scale, and Nursing Satisfaction Questionnaire were used to evaluate depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and nursing satisfaction before and after intervention. Covariance analysis was used to compare the differences between the two groups before and after the intervention.
Results:
A total of 62 patients with mild to moderate depression were enrolled, with 31 patients in the intervention group and 31 patients in the control group. Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, course of disease, educational level, marital status, depression symptoms score, anxiety symptoms score, and nursing satisfaction score between the two groups (all P>0.05). After the intervention, the scores of depression and anxiety symptoms in the intervention group decreased by 8.87 and 5.01 points, respectively, compared with those before the intervention, and the scores of depression and anxiety symptoms in the control group decreased by 2.52 and 1.16 points, respectively (all P<0.05). After the intervention, the scores of depression and anxiety symptoms in the intervention group decreased more than those in the control group (both P<0.05). The nursing satisfaction score of the intervention group increased by 6.57 points on average compared with that before the intervention, and that of the control group increased by 4.23 points on average (both P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the increase of nursing satisfaction scores between the two groups before and after intervention (P>0.05).
Conclusion
The "Internet plus" continuous intervention has a good effect on improving the depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms of patients with depression after haspital discharge, which can consolidate the treatment effect and improve nursing satisfaction.

AIM: To observe the early retinal degeneration and activation of microglia in C57BL/6N(Crb1rd8/rd8)mice.METHODS:Totally 15 male SPF C57BL/6N mice and 15 male SPF C57BL/6J mice were raised normally, and fundus photography examinations were performed by Micron-Ⅲ at the time of 0, 4, 8, 12 wk of enrollment to calculate the number and area of retinopathy. At the end of experiment, all mice were sacrificed and the right eyeballs were removed to prepare retinal tissue slices. After HE staining, the retinal tissue morphology was observed under optical microscope while the location and level of CX3CR1 expression were detected in immunohistochemical staining. The left eyeballs were removed to isolate retina, then Western-Blot was used to analyze the expression of CD86 and CD206 proteins in retina, and the concentration of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-4 and IL-10 in retina was detected by electrochemiluminescence.RESULTS:The result of fundus photography examinations showed that the number of retinopathy in the C57BL/6N significantly increased at 4, 8, and 12 wk, and there were differences in variations compared with the C57BL/6J at the same time point(all P<0.05). In the changes in area of retinopathy, there was a difference between two groups at 12 wk(P<0.05), but no difference in variations within groups(both P>0.05). HE staining of retinal tissue showed that the retinal structure of C57BL/6N mice was abnormal, with loose and disordered cell arrangement, and the photoreceptor layer was obviously protruding to the inner side of retina with a drusen-like protrusion. The retinal structure of C57BL/6J mice was clearer, with orderly cell arrangement and no obvious abnormality. Immunohistochemical results showed that CX3CR1 was highly expressed in ganglion cell layer, inner and outer plexiform layer, photoreceptor cell layer and lesion in the retina of C57BL/6N mice, with a mean density of 0.285±0.056 in C57BL/6N and 0.189±0.084 in C57BL/6J mice(P<0.05). The results of Western-Blot showed that the expression of CD86 and CD206 in retina of C57BL/6N increased compared with that in C57BL/6J to varying degrees, and the difference of CD86 was statistically significant(P<0.05). The results of cytokine detection showed that the level of IL-1β, TNF-α in C57BL/6N was significantly higher than that of C57BL/6J, while IL-10 was significantly lower(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The retinal degeneration of C57BL/6N(Crb1rd8/rd8)mice progressed slowly and gradually aggravated with age. The retinal structure of the lesion was disordered and accompanied by microglial infiltration dominated by M1 polarization.

Hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disorder of exocrine pancreas caused by metabolism disturbances of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.Currently,hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis is characterized by an escalating incidence rate,a tendency for more severe cases,and a lack of therapeutic drugs.Traditional Chinese medicine has distinct advantages in treating this disease,but its theoretical framework has not yet been established.Hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis manifests itself as a febrile disease,aberrant accumulation of fat and turbidity may stem from dietary imbalances and visceral dysfunction in ordinary individuals.The prolonged accumulation of fat and turbidity can transform into turbid pathogen,subsequently engendering heat,constituting a pivotal pathogenic factor.Throughout the progression of the disease,the fiery pathogen consumes the fat and turbidity,resulting in the generation of toxic heat,which is a crucial mechanism in the exacerbation of the disease severity.Thus,this article posits therapeutic principles aimed at averting the transformation of fat and turbidity into turbid pathogen and counteracting toxic heat in this disease.This article reviews two key theories from traditional Chinese medicine classics relevant to hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis:the theory of fat-turbidity associated with hypertriglyceridemia and the febrile disease related to acute pancreatitis.Combining these traditional theories with modern research on the mechanisms that intensify hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis and the corresponding targets of traditional Chinese medicine,it suggests that the pathogenesis of"fat-turbidity-toxic heat"serves as the theoretical basis of traditional Chinese medicine for the aggravated severity of hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis.The article aims to offer new insights for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis.
