OBJECTIVE To provide references and suggestions for the establishment of medication management in care transitions in China. METHODS This study systematically reviewed the medication management in care transitions led by pharmacists in the United States， summarized the clinical practice evidence of its service system， personnel configuration， development bottlenecks and effect benefits， and explored the suggestions for optimizing the work in China. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The United States medication management in care transitions is characterized by standardized workflows and precision interventions. It focuses on the treatment continuity period when patients transition across institutions and stages， establishing a pharmacist-led， multidisciplinary collaborative monitoring system. Empirical studies confirm its effectiveness in reducing medication errors， lowering healthcare costs， and improving patient satisfaction. The United States model has achieved professionalization and standardization. Adapting its successful experiences as well as combining our local situation can establish a pharmacist-led medication management framework in care transitions through four key dimensions： role definition， training mechanisms， standardized protocols， and evaluation metrics， and improve the further development of pharmaceutical care services.

Objective: To compare the effects of height-desk-chair matching on the viewing distance of primary school students before and after intervention, so as to provide scientific basis for the hygiene management of desks and chairs. Methods: From April to June 2025, a random cluster sampling method was used to select 141 third grade students from three classes equipped with adjustable desks and chairs in a primary school in Hefei City for a height-desk-chair matching intervention study. The height of students desks and chairs was adjusted according to the standard height and height range specified in the Functional Sizes and Technical Requirements of Chairs and Tables for Educational Institutions (GB/T 3976-2014), with an intervention period of one week. Before and after the intervention, eye use data were measured by using the electronic smart device "Cloud Clip", while collecting data on vision data viewing distance, time spent using eyes at close range and outdoor time, desk and chair height, and physical examination. Linear regression analysis was used to investigate the factors related to viewing distance before the intervention of height-desk-chair matching, and a paired t-test was used to analyze the difference in viewing distance before and after the intervention. A mixed effects model was used to explore the effect of height desk and chair adaptation intervention on viewing distance. Results: The compliance rates for desk and chair adjustments before and after the intervention were 1.4% and 18.4%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2=22.84, P <0.01). The viewing distance increased from (30.48±5.01) cm before intervention to (32.06±5.75) cm post intervention, with a statistically significant difference ( t=4.57, P <0.01). The proportion of students meeting the viewing distance standard increased from 33.3% to 51.1%. The linear mixedeffects model results indicated that the association between height appropriate desk and chair interventions and viewing distance was statistically significant, regardless of whether covariates such as time spent using eyes at close range and outdoor time were adjusted ( β=-1.58, 95%CI = -2.25 to -0.91; β=-1.14, 95%CI =-1.85 to -0.43, both P <0.05). Conclusion Height adjusted desks and chairs, which can effectively increase the viewing distance for primary school students, has positive implications for improving healthy eye care behaviors among children and adolescents.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Xianfang Huomingyin （XFHMY） in the treatment of type Ⅲ prostatitis （CP/CPPS） through network pharmacology， molecular docking， and animal experiments. MethodsThe traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform （TCMSP） and the Swiss Target Prediction database were used to screen and sort out the active ingredients and corresponding targets of XFHMY. The potential therapeutic targets of CP/CPPS were collected from online databases， such as the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man （OMIM）， GeneCards， and DisGeNET. The potential core targets of XFHMY for treating CP/CPPS were further screened by constructing a protein-protein interaction （PPI） network and performing topological analysis. Meanwhile， the DAVID database was chosen to perform enrichment analysis on the intersection targets. On this basis， the AutoDock software was used for molecular docking， and the data was subsequently imported into the GraphPad Prism 8 software to generate a heat map. SD rats were divided into seven groups： A blank group， a sham operation group， a model group， low-， medium-， and high-dose XFHMY groups （3.645， 7.29， 14.58 g·kg^-1）， and a tamsulosin hydrochloride group （0.018 mg·kg^-1）. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to evaluate the pathological changes in prostate tissue. The inflammatory factor indicators of rats in each group were detected via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot were used to evaluate the mRNA and protein expression levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）， protein kinase B （Akt）， and nuclear transcription factor-κB （NF-κB） p65 in prostate tissue. ResultsThe HE staining showed no significant signs of inflammatory cell infiltration in the prostate of the sham operation group compared to the blank group， while the model group had significantly inflammatory cell infiltration. The ELISA results showed that compared to the blank group， TNF-α， IL-1β， and COX-2 in the sham operation group had no significant differences. However， they were significantly higher in the model group （P<0.01）， indicating successful CP/CPPS modeling in rats. Compared with the model group， the low-，medium-and high-dose XFHMY group and the tamsulosin hydrochloride group showed significant decreases in TNF-α， IL-1β， and COX-2 （P<0.05，P<0.01）. The Real-time PCR analysis revealed that compared to the model group， the low-dose XFHMY group had reduced Akt and NF-κB p65 mRNA expression（P<0.05，P<0.01）. In the medium-and high-dose XFHMY group and tamsulosin hydrochloride group， PI3K， Akt， and NF-κB p65 mRNA levels decreased significantly（P<0.05，P<0.01）. Western blot analysis showed that compared to the model group， the low-dose XFHMY group had lower p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 （P<0.05）. The medium- and high-dose XFHMY group and the tamsulosin hydrochloride group showed significant decreases in p-PI3K/PI3K， p-Akt-ser473/Akt， p-Akt-thr308/Akt， and p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 （P<0.01）. ConclusionXFHMY may exert therapeutic efficacy on CP/CPPS by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway and reducing inflammatory responses. Additionally， NF-κB activation may be related to the activation of ser473 and thr308 sites.

Since the first successful transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was performed globally in 2002, the TAVR technology has become increasingly mature. With more than a decade of development in China, its application experience, device research and development, procedural improvements, evidence-based medicine, and guideline updates have continuously progressed, leading to a significant increase in the number of procedures conducted. Compared to traditional surgical operations, TAVR has different postoperative monitoring points and principles for the prevention and management of complications, necessitating the formulation of corresponding monitoring and treatment protocols that align with the technical characteristics of the procedure. This guideline is based on clinical practice and incorporates both domestic and international literature as well as the experiences of Fuwai Hospital. It distills and organizes routine postoperative monitoring practices, process optimization, and complication management for TAVR, establishing a set of practical guidelines for postoperative monitoring in China. These guidelines have strong practical value for optimizing postoperative management strategies and preventing and managing complications, which is beneficial for early functional recovery of patients, shortening hospital stays, and reducing complication rates. They provide guidance and reference for domestic peers and support the standardized development and quality improvement of postoperative management for TAVR in China.

This study investigated the effects and underlying mechanisms of vanillic acid(VA) against cardiac fibrosis(CF) induced by isoproterenol(ISO) in mice. Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control group, VA group(100 mg·kg~(-1), ig), ISO group(10 mg·kg~(-1), sc), ISO + VA group(10 mg·kg~(-1), sc + 100 mg·kg~(-1), ig), ISO + dynamin-related protein 1(Drp1) inhibitor(Mdivi-1) group(10 mg·kg~(-1), sc + 50 mg·kg~(-1), ip), and ISO + VA + Mdivi-1 group(10 mg·kg~(-1), sc + 100 mg·kg~(-1), ig + 50 mg·kg~(-1), ip). The treatment groups received the corresponding medications once daily for 14 consecutive days. On the day after the last administration, cardiac functions were evaluated, and serum and cardiac tissue samples were collected. These samples were analyzed for serum aspartate aminotransferase(AST), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), creatine kinase-MB(CK-MB), cardiac troponin I(cTnI), reactive oxygen species(ROS), interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-18, and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) levels, as well as cardiac tissue catalase(CAT), glutathione(GSH), malondialdehyde(MDA), myeloperoxidase(MPO), superoxide dismutase(SOD), total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC) activities, and cytochrome C levels in mitochondria and cytoplasm. Hematoxylin-eosin, Masson, uranium acetate and lead citrate staining were used to observe morphological and mitochondrial ultrastructural changes in the cardiac tissues, and myocardial injury area and collagen volume fraction were calculated. Flow cytometry was applied to detect the relative content and M1/M2 polarization of cardiac macrophages. The mRNA expression levels of macrophage polarization markers [CD86, CD206, arginase 1(Arg-1), inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS)], CF markers [type Ⅰ collagen(Coll Ⅰ), Coll Ⅲ, α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)], and cytokines(IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-18, TNF-α) in cardiac tissues were determined by quantitative real-time PCR. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of Coll Ⅰ, Coll Ⅲ, α-SMA, Drp1, p-Drp1, voltage-dependent anion channel(VDAC), hexokinase 1(HK1), NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein(ASC), caspase-1, cleaved-caspase-1, gasdermin D(GSDMD), cleaved N-terminal gasdermin D(GSDMD-N), IL-1β, IL-18, B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2), B-cell lymphoma-xl(Bcl-xl), Bcl-2-associated death promoter(Bad), Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax), apoptotic protease activating factor-1(Apaf-1), pro-caspase-3, cleaved-caspase-3, pro-caspase-9, cleaved-caspase-9, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1(PARP-1), and cleaved-PARP-1 in cardiac tissues. The results showed that VA significantly improved cardiac function in mice with CF, reduced myocardial injury area and cardiac index, and decreased serum levels of AST, CK-MB, cTnI, LDH, ROS, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, and TNF-α. VA also lowered MDA and MPO levels, mRNA expressions of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, and TNF-α, and mRNA and protein expressions of Coll Ⅰ, Coll Ⅲ, and α-SMA in cardiac tissues, and increased serum levels of IL-4 and IL-10, cardiac tissue levels of CAT, GSH, SOD, and T-AOC, and mRNA expressions of IL-4 and IL-10. Additionally, VA ameliorated cardiac pathological damage, inhibited myocardial cell apoptosis, inflammatory infiltration, and collagen fiber deposition, reduced collagen volume fraction, and alleviated mitochondrial damage. VA decreased the ratio of F4/80~+CD86~+ M1 cells and the mRNA expressions of CD86 and iNOS in cardiac tissue, and increased the ratio of F4/80~+CD206~+ M2 cells and the mRNA expressions of CD206 and Arg-1. VA also reduced protein expressions of p-Drp1, VDAC, NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, cleaved-caspase-1, GSDMD, GSDMD-N, IL-1β, IL-18, Bad, Bax, Apaf-1, cleaved-caspase-3, cleaved-caspase-9, cleaved-PARP-1, and cytoplasmic cytochrome C, and increased the expressions of HK1, Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, pro-caspase-3, pro-caspase-9 proteins, as well as the Bcl-2/Bax and Bcl-xl/Bad ratios and mitochondrial cytochrome C content. These results indicate that VA has a significant ameliorative effect on ISO-induced CF in mice, alleviates ISO-induced oxidative damage and inflammatory response, and its mechanism may be closely related to the inhibition of Drp1/HK1/NLRP3 and mitochondrial apoptosis signaling pathways, suppression of myocardial cell inflammatory infiltration and collagen fiber deposition, reduction of collagen volume fraction and CollⅠ, Coll Ⅲ, and α-SMA expressions, thus mitigating CF.

Objective:To investigate the interventional and protective effect of low-dose L-carnitine(LC)against reproductive system damage in male Wistar rats during acute exposure to simulated high-altitude environment.Methods:A total of 24 specific pathogen-free male Wistar rats,aged 12 weeks,were randomly divided into control group,high-altitude model group,and LC intervention group[intraperitoneal injection of LC at a dose of 50 mg/(kg·d)],with 8 rats in each group.The rats in the control group were fed under normal conditions(at an altitude of approximately 1 500 m),those in the high-altitude model group,and those in the LC intervention group were fed in a hypobaric oxygen chamber(at a simulated alti-tude of 6 000 m).The rats were sacrificed after 3 days.The testis was collected to calculate testicular index;the semen was collected from the epididymis,and the Weili sperm quality analysis system was used to assess sperm quality;blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta,and ELISA kits were used to measure the serum levels of testosterone(T),luteinizing hormone(LH),and follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH);testicular tissue samples were collected,and biochemical kits were used to measure the activity of reactive oxygen species(ROS),malondialdehyde(MDA),and superoxide dismutase(SOD);testicular tissue was collected to prepare HE and electron microscopy sections,and a light microscope and a transmission electron microscope were used for observation.Results:Com-pared with the blank control group,the high-altitude model group had significant increases in the levels of T,LH,and FSH(P<0.01),testicular tissue damage under the light microscope,and changes in the morphology of spermatogenic cells,including mitochondrial al-terations,membrane edema,loss of cristae,swelling of the matrix,and local dissolution,as well as significant increases in the levels of ROS and MDA(P<0.01)and a significant reduction in SOD activity(P<0.01).Compared with the high-altitude model group,the LC intervention group had a significant increase in the level of T(P<0.01),significant reductions in the levels of FSH and LH(P<0.01),and significant improvements in the pathological changes of testicular tissue,with no marked mitochondrial injury,and there were sig-nificant reductions in the levels of ROS and MDA(P<0.01)and a significant increase in SOD activity(P<0.01).There was no signifi-cant difference in testicular index between groups(P>0.05).The high-altitude model group had a significantly lower sperm count than the blank control group(P<0.05),while there was no significant difference in sperm count between the LC intervention group and the blank control group(P>0.05);there was no significant difference in sperm motility between groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:Low-dose LC can improve reproductive system damage in rats during acute exposure to simulated high-altitude environment,possibly by alleviat-ing oxidative stress response.

Objective To investigate the association between D-dimer levels within 2 hours of admission and in-hospital major adverse events (MAEs) in patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) who underwent total arch replacement combined with frozen elephant trunk (FET) implantation. Methods This retrospective study included patients with ATAAD who underwent total arch replacement with FET implantation at Fuwai Yunnan Cardiovascular Hospital from September 2017 to December 2022. Patients were divided into two groups based on the occurrence of in-hospital MAEs: a MAEs group and a non-MAEs group (control). Perioperative data were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for in-hospital MAEs, which included in-hospital death, gastrointestinal bleeding, paraplegia, acute kidney injury, low cardiac output syndrome, stroke, respiratory failure, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, and severe infection. The predictive value of D-dimer was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results A total of 218 patients were included (157 males, 61 females), with a mean age of (51.54±9.79) years. There were 152 patients in the non-MAEs group and 66 in the MAEs group. The overall incidence of in-hospital MAEs was 30.3%, and the in-hospital mortality rate was 2.8% (6/218). Compared to the non-MAEs group, the MAEs group had significantly higher levels of D-dimer and lactate, as well as longer cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamp time, and ICU length of stay (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified D-dimer as an independent risk factor for in-hospital MAEs [OR=1.077, 95%CI (1.020, 1.137), P=0.013]. The AUC for the D-dimer level within 2 hours of admission to predict in-hospital MAEs was 0.83 [95%CI (0.736, 0.870), P<0.001]. The optimal cutoff value was 2.2 μg/mL, with a sensitivity of 84.8% and a specificity of 73.0%. Conclusion The serum D-dimer level is an independent risk factor for in-hospital MAEs in patients with ATAAD following total arch replacement with FET implantation. D-dimer levels on admission can help clinicians optimize risk stratification and perioperative management, potentially reducing the incidence of early adverse events.

Objective:To systematically analyze the impact of various physician payment methods on medical service delivery behavior and outcomes.Methods:Based on the scoping review method,2 255 documents related to"physician","compensation","payment method",and"physician behavior"were retrieved from Web of Science,CNKI,VIP,and WanFang databases,and finally 70 studies were included based on scientific screening standards and process.Results:Fee-for-service encourages physicians to deliver an adequate volume of services but is susceptible to overtreatment;salary and capitation assist in controlling costs but can lead to insufficient service provision;the advantages of DRG/DIP in the quantity and quality of medical services weaken as the patient's condition worsens.Mixed payment methods can effectively balance the quantity and cost of medical services,while pay-for-performance is generally outstanding in improving quality.Conclusions:It is difficult for a single payment method to achieve the optimization of medical service delivery behavior and outcomes.A mixed payment system that integrates multiple payment methods with quality incentives must be established urgently.At the same time,it is recommended to deepen the reform of the mechanism for converting medical insurance balance into physician compensation,fully implement the allocation autonomy of public hospitals,and accelerate the establishment of a mixed physician payment method that is coordinated with medical insurance payment and performance appraisal.

Objective:This study aims to establish an animal model that accurately replicates the clinical symptoms and pathologi-cal changes of late-stage human TMJOA,with the goal of providing a standardized and reliable animal experimental method for sub-sequent research on the disease.Methods:Forty-eight male New Zealand rabbits aged 4 to 6 months were randomly divided into a model group and a sham group.The animals in the model group underwent bilateral temporomandibular joint disc perforation surgery,while the animals in the sham group underwent a sham surgery.The modeling effects were assessed at 4,8,and 12 weeks post-surgery using nociceptive behavior assessments,passive mouth opening measurements,histological analysis(HE,Safranin O-fast green staining),immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence staining,and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).Results:Animals in the model group exhibited distinct TMJOA symptoms,including joint pain and restricted mouth opening.Histologically,typical osteo-arthritis changes were evident.The Mankin osteoarthritis score was significantly higher(P＜O.05).Conclusion:The TMJ disc perfo-ration model resmbled the same clinical manifestations and pathological changes seen in human TMJOA.
