OBJECTIVE To clarify the current development status of clinical pharmacist training bases and the pharmacist workforce in China， and to provide evidence for standardizing base construction and promoting the high-quality development of hospital pharmacy. METHODS Questionnaires were distributed to all clinical pharmacist training bases for urgently-needed health professionals and clinical pharmacist training bases under the Chinese Hospital Association that had been approved by the end of 2023 to collect data including base profiles and pharmacist staffing conditions. Expert teams carried out field investigations to verify the collected data. Descriptive statistical analyses were conducted on the quantity， type and regional distribution of training bases， and the influencing factors of pharmacist staffing in the bases were analyzed. RESULTS Field surveys were completed covering 297 training bases across 31 provincial-level administrative regions. Among the base hospitals， 87.88% were Grade A tertiary general hospitals， and 65.32% were located in provincial capitals. The eastern region had the largest number of bases （136， accounting for 45.79%）， followed by the western region （79， 26.60%）. Great disparities existed among provinces in terms of base quantity and hospital scale. The median proportion of pharmaceutical technical personnel in base hospitals was 4.05%， and the median number of clinical pharmacists per 100 hospital beds was 0.53. Both indicators reached the highest in the eastern region （0.57， 4.43%） and the lowest in the northeastern region （0.45， 3.01%）. A total of 3 627 full-time clinical pharmacists were employed in all surveyed bases， among whom 83.68% held clinical pharmacist training certificates， 35.43% possessed senior professional titles， and 78.19% had postgraduate or higher educational background. The total annual training capacity of the surveyed bases was 4 291 trainees， with obvious differences in annual training capacity across regions and provinces. Training specialties covered 19 specialized disciplines plus one general discipline， and no province could deliver training for all 20 specialties simultaneously. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that geographic region exerte d a significant impact on the proportion of pharmaceutical technical personnel （≥4%） （ P ＜0.05）， while the approval time of training bases and hospital scale had significant effects on the number of clinical pharmacists per 100 beds （≥0.6） （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS China’s clinical pharmacist training system has basically matured and taken initial shape. The distribution of clinical pharmacist training resources is generally consistent with regional population and economic development levels. However， the allocation of pharmaceutical staff and clinical pharmacists has not yet met national standards and clinical service demands.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of quality management in clinical pharmacist training bases in China， and to provide references for the standardized development and improvement of these bases. METHODS A combined approach of questionnaire survey and on-site investigation was adopted， targeting the healthcare highly sought-after talent （clinical pharmacist） training bases in 31 provinces of China as well as the clinical pharmacist training bases affiliated with the Chinese Hospital Association. A training quality management evaluation index system consisting of 25 tertiary indicators was established. Investigations were conducted from two dimensions： structural quality of training and quality management of training processes. Data were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. RESULTS On-site investigations were completed for 297 clinical pharmacist training bases across the 31 provinces， among which 284 were affiliated with the Chinese Hospital Association and 271 were healthcare highly sought-after talent （clinical pharmacist） training bases. In terms of structural quality， the core indicator compliance rate for hospital-level training systems exceeded 80%， the rate of special fund utilization for designated purposes reached 80.13%， and the overall compliance rate for software and hardware facilities surpassed 88%. A total of 1 348 preceptors were employed across the training bases， among whom those with senior professional titles and full-time specialist clinical pharmacists as lead preceptors accounted for 62.91% and 94.36%， respectively. Regarding process quality， the compliance rate for “establishment of clinical practice teaching groups in accordance with regulations during clinical department rotations” was 85.19%， and 79.80% and 76.09% of the bases were found to implement strict confidentiality in theoretical examinations and meet the required scale of assessment cases， respectively. However， formal documents of corresponding training management regulations were formulated in only 57.91% of the bases， and the completeness and standardization rate of training manual completion was merely 47.47%. In addition， considerable disparities in quality management levels were observed among provinces， with issues in training process quality being particularly prominent. CONCLUSIONS The management system， hardware facilities， and preceptor staffing of clinical pharmacist training bases in China are relatively well-established， yet notable variations in quality management exist among training bases across different provinces.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect and therapeutic effect of Kaixuan Jiedu core prescription （KXJD） on skin homing of Th17 cells in the mouse model of imiquimod （IMQ） combined with restraint stress-induced psoriasis-like skin damage， and to explore its potential mechanism from the perspective of neuro-immune axis. MethodsThirty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly allocated into five groups （n=6）： Control， model （IMQ）， restraint stress model （IMQ+RS）， KXJD， and methotrexate （MTX）. The mouse model of psoriasis-like skin damage was established by 5% IMQ combined with restraint stress. At the same time of modeling， each treatment group was treated with corresponding doses of drugs， and the control， IMQ， and IMQ+RS groups were treated with the same amount of normal saline by gavage once a day for 5 days. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the skin tissue and Baker scoring was performed. Serum levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β） and angiopoietin-2 （Ang-2） were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 （MMP-9）， tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 （TIMP-1）， C-C motif chemokine ligand 20 （CCL20）， and C-C motif chemokine receptor 6 （CCR6） in the skin tissue were determined. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） was employed to determine the protein expression of cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen （CLA）， integrin α_E （CD103）， cytokeratin 10 （CK10）， and nuclear factor-kappa B （NF-κB） in the skin. Immunofluorescence double staining （DIF） was adopted to detect the expression and co-localization of vascular endothelial cadherin （VE-cadherin） and platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule （CD31）， CCR6， CD103， substance P （SP）， calcitonin gene-related peptide （CGRP）， and protein gene product 9.5 （PGP9.5） in the skin tissue. Real-time PCR was employed to quantify the mRNA levels of IL-10， IL-17A， and IL-23. ResultsCompared with the control group， the IMQ group and IMQ+RS group showed significant inflammatory cell infiltration， abnormal proliferation of epidermal cells， keratinization and other pathological changes in the skin tissue， and a significant increase in Baker score， elevated levels of IL-1β and Ang-2 in the serum and MMP-9， CCL20 and CCR6 in the skin lesions， upregulated expression of CLA， CD103， CK10， NF-κB， IL-17A mRNA， and IL-23 mRNA in the skin lesions， and downregulated expression of TIMP-1 and IL-10 mRNA. In addition， the fluorescence intensities of VE-cadherin and CD31 co-localization， CCR6 and CD103 co-localization， SP and PGP9.5 co-localization， and CGRP and PGP9.5 co-localization were increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the IMQ group， the above indicators in the IMQ+RS group were further aggravated. Compared with the IMQ group， the above indicators in the IMQ+RS group were further aggravated. Compared with the IMQ+RS group， KXJD and MTX significantly alleviated the pathological damage of skin lesions， significantly decreased the Baker score， lowered the levels of IL-1β and Ang-2 in the serum and MMP-9， CCL20 and CCR6 in skin lesions， downregulated the expression of CLA， CD103， CK10， NF-κB， IL-17A mRNA and IL-23 mRNA in skin lesions， and upregulated the expression of TIMP-1 and IL-10 mRNA. Furthermore， KXJD and MTX reduced the fluorescence intensities of VE-cadherin and CD31 co-localization， CCR6 and CD103 co-localization， CGRP and PGP9.5 co-localization， and SP and PGP9.5 co-localization （P<0.05）. ConclusionKXJD can significantly ameliorate the psoriasis-like skin damage induced by IMQ combined with restraint stress in mice by regulating the neural-immune axis and inhibiting the skin homing of Th17 cells.

Objective To investigate the anatomical and microscopic structures of interstitial fluid flow channels in the skin tissue of hand dorsum in human cadavers.Methods Totally 7 fresh cadavers within 12 hours post-mortem were included.MRI was used to observe the distribution of interstitial fluid flow from the first phalanx of the fingers to the wrist,precisely locating the flow channels.Based on imaging results,histological analyses were conducted to determine the histological characteristics of the flow channels.Furthermore,multi-immunofluorescence and microcomputed tomography(Micro-CT)techniques were employed to analyze the channels,and image post-processing was used to elucidate their anatomical structures at the microscopic level.Results After injecting a contrast agent into the first phalanx of ten finger specimens and applying repeated pressure,MRI image revealed centripetal long-range interstitial fluid flow along channels distinct from blood vessels and lymphatic vessels.Histological analysis and Micro-CT further confirmed that the flow primarily occurred within the fibrous connective tissue and adventitia of the skin.Conclusion The orderly fibrous connective tissue and adventitia in the skin form the interstitial fluid flow channels in the human hand dorsum skin,named as"stromal membrane channels"in the skin.

Objective To construct a predictive model for high-grade pathological components of early invasive lung adenocarcinoma(ILAC)based on radiomics.Methods Collecting information on total 495 patients who underwent radical operation and were pathologically diagnosed as stage Ⅰ in the cardiothoracic surgery of Zhoushan Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019,including gender,age,pathological findings,tumor markers and preoperative chest CT images.The micropapillary and solid components in postoperative pathology were defined as"high-grade pathological components",while those without high-grade pathological components were classified into the low-grade group and those with high-grade pathological components were classified into the high-grade group.And patients were randomly divided into the training set(343 cases)and the validation set(152 cases)with a ratio of 7∶3 using the simple randomization grouping method.The region of interest of nodules on CT images were delineated layer by layer by scientific research platform and 1950 radiomics features were extracted.And then those features were filtrated by F-test,Pearson correlation coefficient,and L1 based feature selection.A model was built by using Logistic regression machine learning classifier,named mod 2,and radscore was also obtained.Differences between general information and CT features were analyzed.Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to construct a model for statistically significant variables,named mod 1.At the same time,Radscore was added to build the mod and named comb mod.The area under the curve(AUC),sensitivity and specificity of the three models were calculated.A nomogram was also drawn.Results A total of 495 patients were divided into the training set(n=343)and the validation set(n=152).Gender,carcinoma embryonic antigen(CEA),nodule,and maximum diameter were screened out in clinical features and involved in constructing the mod 1.Twelve features were selected from the radiomics features to build mod 2.Comb mod performed best,training set AUC:0.887,validation set AUC:0.875,and had good clinical practicability.Conclusion The model composed of general feature,CT feature and radiomics features could accurately predict high-grade pathological components in early ILAC,and provide references for clinicians to choose surgical method for patients.

Objective:To report the nationwide surveillance results of pathogenic profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Gram-positive bloodstream infections in China in 2023.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-posttive bacteria from blood cultures were collected in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）during January to December 2023. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the dilution method recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. Statistical analyses were conducted using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software.Results:A total of 4 385 Gram-positive bacterial isolates were obtained from 60 participating center. The top five pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 544，35.2%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=1 441，32.9%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=574，13.1%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=385，8.8%），and α-hemolytic Streptococci（ n=187，4.3%）. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）was 26.2%（405/1 544）and 69.8%（1 006/1 441），respectively. Notably，all Staphylococci remained susceptible to glycopeptide or daptomycin. Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated excellent susceptibility（>97.0%）to cephalobiol，rifampicin，trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline，tigecycline，and eravacycline. No Enterococcus exhibiting resistance to linezolid were detected. Glycopeptide resistance was uncommon but more frequent in Enterococcus faecium（resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin：both 1.7%）compared to Enterococcus faecalis（both 0.3%）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS exhibited significant regional variations across the country（ χ2=17.674 and 148.650，respectively，both P<0.001）. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci were detected in central China. Institutional comparison demonstrated higher prevalence of MRSA（ χ2=14.111， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.828， P=0.028）in provincial hospitals than that in municipal hospitals. Socioeconomic analysis identified elevated detection rates of both MRSA（ χ2=18.986， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.477， P=0.034）in less developed regions（per capita GDP

Objective:To report the results of bacterial resistant investigation collaborative system（BRICS）on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2023，and provide reference for clinical tretment of bloodstream infections and prevention and control of bacterial resistance.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of BRICS were collected during January 2023 to December 2023. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period，11 492 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 60 hospitals，of which 10 098（87.9%）were Enterobacterales and 1 394（12.1%）were non-fermentative bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli（50.0%）， Klebsiella pneumoniae（26.1%）， Pseudomonas aeruginosa（5.1%）， Acinetobacter baumannii complex（5.0%）and Enterobacter cloacae complex（4.1%）. The ESBL-producing rates in Escherichia coli， Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirablilis were 46.8%（2 685/5 741），18.3%（549/2 999）and 44.0%（77/175），respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli（CREC）and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae（CRKP）were 1.3%（76/5 741）and 15.0%（450/2 999）；32.9%（25/76）and 78.0%（351/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to ceftazidime/avibactam combination，respectively. 94.7%（72/76）and 90.2%（406/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to aztreonam/avibactam combination. Furthermore，57.9%（44/76）and 79.1%（356/450）were sensitive to imipenem/relebactam combination. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii（CRAB）complex was 64.6%（370/573），while more than 80.0% of CRAB complex was sensitive to tigecycline，eravacycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa（CRPA）was 17.0%（99/581）. There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of important Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions in China，with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CREC，CRKP，CRPA and CRAB complex（ χ2=10.6，28.6，10.8 and 19.3， P<0.05）. The prevalence of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli， CREC，CRAB complex and CRKP were higher in provincial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=12.5，9.8，12.7 and 57.8，all P<0.01）. Conclusions:Gram-negative bacteria are the main pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China，and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top，while the trend of Klebsiella pneumoniae increases continuously with time. CRKP infection shows a slow upward trend，CREC infecton maintains a low prevalence level，and CRAB complex infection continues to exhibit a high prevalence rate. The composition and resistance patterns of pathogens causing bloodstream infections vary to some extent across different regions and levels of hospitals in China.
