OBJECTIVE To establish a Chinese drug-related problem (DRP) classification system applicable to pharmacist-led pharmaceutical care in China, providing pharmacists with an effective and practical tool for pharmaceutical care. METHODS A multi-stage process was employed to construct the DRP classification system, including literature review and analysis, comparison of existing classification systems, refinement of classification items and framework development, two rounds of standard case validation, expert discussion, and system revision. The Fleiss′ kappa test was used to calculate the consistency coefficient κ, assessing the reliability of pharmacists participating in evaluating the classification system. An electronic questionnaire comprising six items was employed to evaluate the system’s applicability. RESULTS The constructed Chinese DRP classification system comprised six sections [problem(including potential problems), DRP evaluation, cause (including possible causes of potential problems), intervention, acceptance of intervention and DRP status], with 24 primary codes and 96 secondary codes. In the first round of case validation, κ values exceeded 0.4 for all sections except “intervention” and “DRP status”. In the second round, κ values exceeded 0.4 for all sections. In the applicability evaluation of the classification system, positive ratings (“strongly agree” or “agree”) exceeded 85% for all items. Specifically, positive ratings for“the classification system can provide appropriate category selection”,“ the classification system is comprehensive”,“ the classification system is convenient to use” and “the classification system is highly satisfactory” exceeded 92%. CONCLUSIONS The Chinese DRP classification system developed demonstrates both high reliability and applicability, providing an effective and practical classification tool for pharmacists in China to conduct pharmaceutical care.

Objective To investigate the dietary structure and nutritional metabolism indicators in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy and to analyze the relationship with renal injury. Methods From January 2022 to February 2024, 296 patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy were included in the hospital for investigation. According to the measurement results of 24h urinary protein quantification, these patients were divided into mild, moderate and severe renal injury groups. The diet, nutritional metabolism and renal injury indicators were compared, and the correlation was analyzed. Results The total energy intake, protein, fat and carbohydrate energy supply ratio were decreased with the aggravation of renal injury while the levels of hemoglobin (Hgb), total protein (TP), globulin (GLB), albumin (ALB), triglyceride (TG) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were enhanced (P<0.05), and the total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were manifested as severe injury group>moderate injury group>mild injury group (P<0.05). Total intake, carbohydrate energy supply ratio, Hgb, TP, GLB, ALB, TG and HDL-C were positively correlated with 24h urinary protein quantification, and the other indicators were negatively correlated with 24h urinary protein quantification (P<0.05). Conclusion The patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy generally have unreasonable dietary structure and poor nutritional metabolism, both of which are associated with the degree of renal injury. It is recommended to strengthen the diet management, optimize the energy supply ratio, monitor the biochemical indicators and adjust the treatment regimen.

Objective To investigate the radon activity concentrations in subways of Nanning City and assess the average annual effective doses for subway staff and passengers due to radon exposure. Methods Sixty-three stations across the subway lines 2, 3, and 5 were selected as study sites. Radon activity concentrations were measured using the scintillation counting method with scintillation vials. Results The radon activity concentrations in subway lines 2, 3, and 5 were 7.9-24.4, 12.0-26.2, and 12.6-18.2 Bq/m3, respectively. The average radon activity concentrations for these three lines were (17.4 ± 4.6), (19.1 ± 4.1), and (14.6 ± 1.7) Bq/m3, respectively. Statistical analysis using SPSS 26.0 software revealed a significant difference in radon activity concentrations among these stations (P<0.01). Considering the data in previous research, the average radon activity concentration across all stations in the subway lines of Nanning City was determined to be 17.4 Bq/m3. The estimated average annual effective dose due to radon exposure was 0.131 mSv for subway staff and 0.033 mSv for passengers. Conclusion The radon activity concentrations in the subway lines of Nanning City were significantly lower than the national standard limit (400 Bq/m3). The annual effective doses from radon exposure for both subway staff and passengers were below the limits specified in the Basic Standards for Protection Against Ionizing Radiation and for the Safety of Radiation Sources (GB18871—2002). The health impact of radon and its progeny on subway staff and passengers in the subway lines of Nanning City was extremely low and can be considered negligible.

BACKGROUND:The treatment of early knee osteoarthritis can be achieved through two knee preservation treatments:Unicondylar knee arthroplasty and high tibial osteotomy.However,further exploration is needed to determine whether there are differences in knee joint recovery between the two knee preservation surgeries at different stages after surgery. OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficacy and related complications of unicondylar knee arthroplasty and high tibial osteotomy in the treatment of varus osteoarthropathy of the knee,and to provide a reference for clinical decision. METHODS:A total of 103 patients with varus osteoarthritis of the knee underwent surgical treatment in the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from September 2018 to September 2022 were selected.Among them,86 patients were followed up for more than 1 year.According to different surgical methods,the patients were divided into unicondylar knee arthroplasty group(49 cases)and high tibial osteotomy group(37 cases).Knee function,pain,and line of force correction were evaluated before surgery,4 weeks,3 months,6 months,and 1 year after surgery in both groups.Hospital for special surgery knee score,functional score of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index,changes of lateral space of the knee joint,range of motion,proprioception(position sense),and postoperative activity recovery speed were evaluated comprehensively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There were no significant differences in preoperative hospital for special surgery knee score,Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score and lateral knee compartment size between the two groups.(2)The hospital for special surgery knee score of patients undergoing unicondylar knee arthroplasty was better than that of patients undergoing high tibial osteotomy within 4 weeks after surgery(P<0.05).At 3 and 6 months after surgery,compared with the improvement of the two groups,the hospital for special surgery knee score in the unicondylar knee arthroplasty group was lower than that in the high tibial osteotomy group,and the difference was significant(P<0.05).The range of motion flexion value and position perception of patients undergoing high tibial osteotomy were significantly better than those undergoing unicondylar knee arthroplasty 6 months after surgery(P<0.05).(3)The unicondylar knee arthroplasty group was better than the high tibial osteotomy group in terms of the speed of knee movement recovery(P<0.05).(4)However,there was no significant difference between the two groups in the change of hospital for special surgery knee score,range of motion,and the width of lateral knee space during 1-year follow-up.(5)All patients were followed up for more than 1 year,and no adverse complications were found during the follow-up.(6)It is indicated that the short-term effect of knee functional recovery in patients with high tibial osteotomy is better than that in patients with unicondylar knee arthroplasty,but there is no significant difference in medium-and long-term efficacy between the two kinds of surgery for medial knee arthritis.

[Objective] To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) in the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) complicated with underactive bladder (UAB) who respond poorly to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). [Methods] A retrospective analysis was performed on 10 patients with BPH and UAB treated with TURP by the same surgeon in Zhongda Hospital Southeast University during Jan.2018 and Jan.2023.The residual urine volume was not significantly relieved after operation, and the maximum urine flow rate and urine volume per discharge were not significantly improved.All patients underwent phase I SNM, and urinary diaries were recorded before and after surgery to observe the average daily frequency of urination, volume per urination, maximum urine flow rate, and residual urine volume. [Results] The operation time was (97.6±11.2) min.During the postoperative test of 2-4 weeks, if the residual urine volume reduction by more than 50% was deemed as effective, SNM was effective in 6 patients (60.0%). Compared with preoperative results, the daily frequency of urination [(20.2±3.8) times vs. (13.2±3.2) times], volume per urination [(119.2±56.7) mL vs. (246.5±59.2) mL], maximum urine flow rate [(8.7±1.5) mL/s vs. (16.5±2.6) mL/s], and residual urine volume [(222.5±55.0) mL vs. (80.8±16.0) mL] were significantly improved, with statistical significance (P<0.05). There were no complications such as bleeding, infection, fever or pain.The 6 patients who had effective outcomes successfully completed phase II surgery, and the fistula was removed.During the follow-up of 1 year, the curative effect was stable, and there were no complications such as electrode displacement, incision infection, or pain in the irritation sites.The residual urine volume of the other 4 unsuccessful patients did not improve significantly, and the electrodes were removed and the vesicostomy tube was retained. [Conclusion] SNM is safe and effective in the treatment of BPH with UAB patients with poor curative effects after TURP.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between the maintenance treatment of modified Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu Formula (益气活血解毒方) or poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors and the recurrence and metastasis of advanced ovarian cancer. MethodsA case-control study design was employed, dividing patients with advanced ovarian cancer into two groups based on the occurrence of recurrence and metastasis following first-line maintenance treatment. Patients with recurrence and metastasis comprised the case group, while those without recurrence and metastasis served as the control group. The previous first-line maintenance treatment method was set as the exposure factor in the study (with the use of modified Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu Formula defined as exposed and PARP inhibitors defined as unexposed). Basic information was collected for both groups, including the achievement of satisfactory R0 surgery, age, stage, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, lymph node metastasis, germline BRCA1/2 mutations, homologous recombination deficiency positivity, first-line maintenance treatment method (modified Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu Formula or PARP inhibitors), and CA125 levels after the last chemotherapy. The baseline data of the two groups were assessed for differences. If there exists difference, a 1∶1 nearest neighbor matching method was used for propensity score matching. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to evaluate the association between the modified Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu Formula or PARP inhibitors and the recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer. ResultsA total of 201 patients with advanced ovarian cancer were included, with 97 in the case group and 104 in the control group. Both groups showed statistically significant differences in R0 surgery, stage, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and CA125 levels after the last chemotherapy (P<0.05), indicating baseline imbalance. After propensity score matching, there were 71 patients in both the case and control groups, achieving baseline balance (P>0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the achievement of satisfactory R0 surgery (P = 0.006), disease stage (P = 0.001), the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (P = 0.024), treatment modality (P = 0.006), and CA125 levels after the last chemotherapy (P = 0.013) were associated with the recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that disease stage was an independent influencing factor for the recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer (P = 0.030), whereas the P-value for the correlation between first-line maintenance treatment and ovarian cancer was 0.188. ConclusionFirst-line maintenance treatment of ovarian cancer patients with the use of modified Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu Formula or PARP inhibitors does not correlate with the recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer.

OBJECTIVE To prepare reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive methotrexate (MTX)-modified paclitaxel (PTX)/icariin (ICA) micelles (MTX-oxi-Ms@PTX/ICA), and perform technology optimization and in vitro anti-tumor effect evaluation. METHODS Synergistic toxicity concentration range of PTX and ICA was screened by synergistic toxicity test. The micelles were prepared by thin film hydration method, and their technology was optimized by response surface methodology. The fundamental characteristics of the micelles prepared by the optimal technology were evaluated. The micelles’ cytotoxicity, targeting ability to renal carcinoma RENCA cells of mice, and their inhibitory effects on invasion and migration were assessed. RESULTS Results of synergistic toxicity experiments demonstrated that the strongest synergistic effect occurred when PTX concentrations ranged from 2.5 to 10 μmol/L and ICA concentrations ranged from 5 to 15 μmol/L. The optimal technology of MTX-oxi-Ms@PTX/ ICA was determined to include 80 mg Soluplus®, Soluplus® and TPGS1000 mass ratio of 4∶1 (mg/mg), 2 mg DSPE-PEG2000-TK- PEG5000, 2 mg DSPE-PEG2000-MTX, 1 mg PTX, and 1.5 mg ICA, with a hydration temperature of 35 ℃ and a formulation volume of 5 mL. Under the optimal conditions, average encapsulation efficiency of PTX and ICA in 3 batches of MTX-oxi- Ms@PTX/ICA reached 92.75%, the critical micelle concentration (CMC) was 0.007 9 mg/mL, the particle size was (62.09±1.68) nm, the polydispersity index (PDI) was 0.046±0.032, and the Zeta potential was (-2.47±0.15) mV. Within 30 days of placement, there was no significant change E-mail:yingqiang_1126@163.com in particle size and polydispersity index of micelle. In vitro release experiments showed that MTX-oxi-Ms@PTX/ICA released drugs more rapidly in oxidative environments. The half maximal inhibitory concentration of MTX-oxi-Ms@PTX/ICA against RENCA cells was (5.170±0.036) μmol/L. In vitro cellular uptake experiments indicated that compared with unmodified micelles, MTX modified micelles had stronger targeting effects on cancer cells, and also significantly enhanced the inhibitory ability of invasion and migration of RENCA cells (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS MTX-oxi-Ms@PTX/ICA micelles are successfully prepared, which exhibit high encapsulation efficiency, low critical micelle concentration, and good stability. These micelles demonstrate significant cytotoxicity against RENCA cells and effectively inhibit cancer cell invasion and migration.
