OBJECTIVE To summarize the implementation experiences of the China Hospital Association’s Clinical Pharmacist Instructor Training Program Reform, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the reform, thus continuously enhancing the quality and standards of clinical pharmacist instructor training. METHODS The study drew on project evaluation methodologies to summarize the main characteristics of the comprehensive system and new model for clinical pharmacist instructor training established through the reform by literature review. The “learning assessment” and “reaction assessment” were conducted by using Kirkpatrick’s four-level model of evaluation in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the clinical pharmacist instructor training reform through statistically processing and analyzing the performance data and teaching evaluation data of the instructor participants. Based on problem and trend analysis, the future development directions were anticipated for the reform of clinical pharmacist instructor training. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The latest round of clinical pharmacist instructor training reform initiated by the Chinese Hospital Association had initially established a four-pronged training system encompassing “recruitment, training, assessment, and management”. It had also forged a training 。 model “oriented towards enhancing clinical teaching competency, with practical learning and skill-based assessment conducted on clinical teaching sites as its core”. Following a period of over three years of gradual reform, the new training system and model became increasingly mature. In both 2023 and 2024, the participants achieved relatively high average total scores in their initial completion assessments [with scores of (84.05± 5.83) and (85.82±4.35) points, respectively]. They also reported a strong sense of gain from the training reform [with self- perceived gain scores of (4.80±0.44) and (4.85±0.39) points, respectively]. The operation and implementation effects of the reform were generally satisfactory. In the future, clinical pharmacist instructor training reforms should continue to address the issues remaining from the current phase, while aligning with global trends in pharmacy education and industry development. Additionally, sustained exploration and practice will be carried out around the core objective of “enhancing clinical teaching competence”.

At present,the laboratory medicine industry in China has developed rapidly,with various new technologies and methods emerge one after another. However,the current training process of laboratory medicine technology professionals still follows a training model that emphasizes theyory over practice,and the quality of training personnel is far from the requirments of the current development of the laboratory medicine industry in China. In order to effectively alleviate the current situation of the shortage of practical high-quality laboratory medicine talents,it is urgent to reform the teaching of laboratory medicine. The author of this paper puts forward the "Four-in-one" personnel training mode which is suitable for the development of laboratory medicine in China. It is proposed to explore a new teaching mode on the basis of the existing one,giving full play to the students' initiative and innovation,and providing new ideas for training high-quality laboratory medicine professionals.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between Triglyceride Glucose-WHR index and retinal arteriosclerosis.Methods:Retrospective longitudinal cohort research method. Using data from the Tongren Health Care Study of Beijing Tongren Hospital from March 2014 to June 2020. The TyG-WHR index was calculated, the restricted cubic spine regression model was used to explore the dose-response relationship between TyG-WHR index and the risk of retinal arteriosclerosis. Cox proportional regression model was implemented to estimate the impact on the risk of retinal arteriosclerosis associated with the different TyG-WHR groups. Receiver operating characteristic were used to explore the value of triglyceride glucose-WHR index for the risk of retinal arteriosclerosis.Results:A total of 8 215 subjects were included, including 3 334 (40.58%) males, 4 881 (59.42%) females;7 689 cases had normal fundus, 296 cases had newly developed retinal arteriosclerosis, and 230 cases had retinal arteriosclerosis. The median age is 45 years old, and the average age is (47.63±13.89) years old. The cumulative incidence rate of new retinal arteriosclerosis was 3.71%(296/7 985), and the cumulative incidence rate of women (3.31%,158/4 767) was lower than that of men (4.29%, 138/3 218) ( χ2=5.105, P<0.001); The cumulative incidence rate of new retinal arteriosclerosis increased with age ( χ2=365.133, P<0.001); The TyG-WHR index was divided into four groups according to the interquartile range, and the Q2- Q4 group had an increased risk of developing new retinal arteriosclerosis compared to Q1 ( χ2=132.887, P<0.001).In the restricted cubic spine regression model, the results showed a non-linear dose-response relationship ( χ2=54.27, P<0.001) between baseline TyG-WHR index and the new-onset of retinal arteriosclerosis. By the multivariate Cox Regression models, three models were constructed in this study. TyG-WHR index was positively correlated with the risk of retinal arteriosclerosis: the HR (95% CI) of model 1-3 was 1.534,1.517 and 1.502.The AUC curve analysis verified that the prediction AUC of the TyG-WHR index for new-onset retinal arteriosclerosis was 0.755, the best prediction value was 7.343, the sensitivity was 90.2%, and the specificity was 75.60%. Conclusion:TyG-WHR index may be an independent risk factor for new-onset retinal arteriosclerosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the key targets of Jianpi Yiqi prescription (JYP) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on network pharmacology and explore the effect of JYP on the invasion and proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells via protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 1 (PTPN1) by bioinformatics analysis and CRISPR/Cas9. MethodsThe potential targets of JYP in the treatment of HCC were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP), SwissTargetPrediction, GeneCards, NCBI, and CTD. Additionally, the active components of JYP that could interact with PTPN1 were screened out, and then molecular docking between the targets and active components was performed in Autodock 4.0. UALCAN, HPA, and LinkedOmics were used to analyze the expression of PTPN1 in the HCC tissue, and the relationship of PTPN1 expression with the overall survival (OS) of HCC patients was discussed. CRISPR/Cas9 was used to knock down the expression of PTPN1 in HepG2 and SK-hep-1 cells, and the knockdown effect was examined by sequencing, Real-time PCR, and Western blot. HepG2 cells were classified into blank control, low-, medium-, and high-dose JYP (5.25, 10.5, 21 g·kg-1), and PTPN1 knockout groups. Real-time PCR and Western blot were employed to determine the mRNA and protein levels, respectively, of PTPN1 in HepG2 cells of each group. The effects of JYP and PTPN1 knockdown on the proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis of HepG2 cells were detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), Transwell, and Annexin V-FITC/PI methods, respectively. ResultsJYP had the most active components targeting PTPN1, and 31 of the active components had the binding energy less than -5.0 kcal·mol-1 in molecular docking. The mRNA and protein levels of PTPN1 in the HCC tissue were higher than those in the normal tissue (P<0.01). Compared with that in the normal tissue, the mRNA level of PTPN1 in the HCC tissue was up-regulated at the pathological stages Ⅰ-Ⅲ and grades G1-G3 (P<0.01), and it was not significantly up-regulated at the stage Ⅳ or grade G4. The mRNA level of PTPN1 in the TP53-mutated HCC tissue was higher than that in the TP53-unmutated HCC tissue (P<0.01). The high mRNA level of PTPN1 was associated with the OS reduction (P<0.01). After treatment with the JYP-containing serum or knockdown of PTPN1, HepG2 cells demonstrated decreased proliferation and invasion and increased apoptosis (P<0.01). ConclusionPTPN1 may be one of the core targets of JYP in the treatment of HCC. It is highly expressed in the HCC tissue and cells, which is associated with the poor prognosis of patients. The expression level of PTPN1 is significantly up-regulated in the HCC tissue of the patients with TP53 mutation. However, TP53 mutation or deletion does not affect the expression of PTPN1 in HCC cells. JYP can significantly down-regulate the expression of PTPN1 to inhibit the proliferation and invasion and promote the apoptosis of HCC cells.
