OBJECTIVE To explore the working model and practical effectiveness of surgical pharmacists participating in the rational medication management of urology department under the background of diagnosis related groups (DRGs) payment system.METHODS In the context of DRGs, surgical pharmacists have constructed a rational drug use control model for key DRGs disease groups with a high number of urological cases in three stages: the pre stage, which includes developing perioperative drug use guidelines and implementing a rational drug use management system intervention; the mid-term stage, which includes conducting specialized evaluations in conjunction with DRGs disease groups, conducting pharmaceutical ward rounds and medical order reviews, conducting rational drug use training and science popularization; the post event stage, which includes establishing a performance evaluation system for clinical departments and surgical pharmacists, and collecting reasons why surgical physicians did not adopt surgical pharmacist recommendations. Patients who entered DRGs groups and were discharged from the urology department of Foshan Second People’s Hospital were selected as the research subjects. The changes in departmental DRGs indicators [including number of DRGs groups, total weight, case mix index (CMI), average length of stay, time consumption index, average cost per case, cost consumption index, average drug cost per case, drug consumption index, and mortality in low- and medium-risk] were compared before pharmacist intervention (June to December 2022), after 1 year of intervention (June to December 2023), and after 2 years of intervention (June to December 2024). The improvement in medication rational rates (for antibiotics, hemocoagulase, and proton pump inhibitors) and pharmacy performance assessment indicators [average drug cost per case, defined daily doses (DDDs, excluding traditional Chinese medicine), and antibiotic use density (AUD)] in the top 5 DRGs groups by case volume were statistically analyzed. The reasons for non-adoption of medication intervention recommendations by urologists were further analyzed.RESULTS With the participation of surgical pharmacists in the rational medication management of urology department, the number of DRGs groups, total weight, and CMI in the urology department increased year by year, while the average length of stay, average cost per case, and average drug cost per case decreased year by year, there were no low- to medium-risk deaths before and after the medication management. The average drug cost per case, DDDs, and AUD in the top 5 key DRGs groups (LE15, LE13, MC15, MC13, and LK19) were significantly decreased compared with those before intervention ( P <0.05). The medication rational rates (for antibiotics, hemocoagulase, and proton pump inhibitors) in the above 5 key DRGs groups were significantly increased compared with those before intervention ( P <0.05). After 2 years of pharmacist intervention, the non-adoption rates of urologists for medication interventions related to antibiotics, hemocoagulase, and proton pump inhibitors were significantly lower than those after 1 year of intervention ( P <0.05); the main reason for not adopting interventions related to hemocoagulase was that surgeons believed “increasing the daily dose could shorten the hemostasis course”, the main reason for not adopting interventions related to antibiotics was “postoperative elevation of inflammatory indicators necessitates prolonged treatment”.CONCLUSIONS The hospital has successfully established a model of surgical pharmacists participating in the rational medication management of urology department. This model has improved departmental DRGs indicators and pharmacy performance assessment indicators, and enhanced the medication rational rate.

Objective:To analyze the situation of rodents carrying Hantavirus and the genetic and evolutionary characteristics of the virus in Zibo city, Shandong province in 2022, and provide reference for the scientific prevention and control of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS).Methods:Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect hantavirus (HV) nucleic acids in rodent lung tissues and identify HV genotypes. Each nucleic acid fragment was designed to amplify various gene fragments by segment, and the whole genome of Hantavirus was sequenced by second generation sequencing. Sequence assembly was performed using SeqMan 7.1.0.44, a subprogram of DNAStar. Sequence alignment and evolutionary analysis were conducted using MEGA 7.0 and BioEdit software.Results:A total of 270 host animals were captured in this survey. Among them, 13 rodent lung samples tested positive for Hantavirus, resulting in a virus-positive rate of 4.8%. The full-genome sequences of four hantavirus strains were successfully obtained, all identified as Seoul virus (SEOV) genotype. Four Hantavirus-positive samples showed high nucleotide sequence homology in the M gene and belonged to the SEOV S3 subtype. These strains exhibited high similarity with those from Hebei, Liaoning, and Beijing. The amino acid sequences of the nucleoprotein and glycoprotein immunogenic epitopes were identical to those of the vaccine strain Z37.Conclusions:This study successfully determined the full genome sequences of four hantavirus strains from Zibo city, Shandong province. The genotypes are primarily SEOV, with the subtype being S3. The homology of genes within the same subtype is high, with no significant variations observed. The alignment of immune epitopes in key proteins suggests that the current vaccine may provide protection against locally circulating strains, but further in-depth research is still required.

Objective:To investigate the effects of two anastomosis methods on perioperative and pathological outcomes during totally laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (TLRH).Methods:In a national multicenter snapshot study, 1,854 patients who underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy were enrolled from 52 tertiary hospitals across China. The post-hoc analysis based on this study compared the data of 303 patients who underwent TLRH. Patients were divided into the antiperistaltic group (33 cases) and the isoperistaltic group (270 cases) according to type of anastomosis. Due to the significant difference in sample size between the two groups, propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to eliminate the influence of baseline characteristic discrepancies. The matching was based on the following known confounding factors: age, gender, body mass index (BMI), history of abdominal surgery, and history of diabetes, with a caliper value of 0.2. Perioperative and pathological outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results:After PSM, 33 patients were included in the antiperistaltic group and 65 patients in the isoperistaltic group. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of operation time, blood loss, time to first defecation, time to first oral intake, or the incidence and grading of complications either (all P>0.05). However, length of postoperative hospital stay in the isoperistaltic group was significantly shorter than that in the antiperistaltic group, however (7.0 [6.0, 9.0] days vs. 8.0 [7.0, 10.5] days, P=0.049). In terms of pathological outcomes, there were also no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the number of harvested lymph nodes or the number of positive lymph nodes (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The two digestive tract reconstruction modalities, antiperistaltic and isoperistaltic anastomosis, have comparable perioperative safety and efficacy in TLRH. The isoperistaltic group had better outcomes in terms of postoperative hospital stay.

Objective:To investigate the short-term efficacy, safety and factors affecting recurrence of intermediate-risk and high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) treated with intravesical instillation of domestic Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) infusion.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. We collected the data of 163 patients with NMIBC treated with domestic BCG after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) from October 2016 to October 2020 in the Department of Urology, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. There were 140 males and 23 females, the age was(67.3±10.3) years old. 23 cases had only been received BCG and 140 cases received other chemotherapy drugs before. The induction scheme of instillation was started after the TURBT at once a week for 6 consecutive weeks, continue instillation at every two weeks for 3 doses, then maintenance instillation once a month for 10 consecutive times, for a total of 19 instillations. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to calculate recurrence-free survival. Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze factors and stepwise regression (backward method) was employed to identify independent risk factors for recurrence after BCG instillation. The incidence of adverse reactions was recorded. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation( ± s), measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3), and count data were expressed as frequency and percentage(%). Results:A total of 23 cases experienced recurrence within the 13-month of instillation, of which 7 cases were found to have progressed by pathological biopsy, and the cumulative recurrence-free rate was 85.9%. The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that the history of re-TURBT ( P=0.010) was an independent predictor for recurrence after BCG intravesical instillation. Adverse events occurred in 110 cases. The main symptoms of the 65 cases were urgency of urination, pollakiuria and dysuria with urinary irritation, urinary tract infection in 15 cases, hematuria in 10 cases, and other symptoms in 20 cases. Instillation was terminated in 7 cases due to side effects, no serious adverse events such as spread of tuberculous bacteria were observed in the cases. Conclusions:Patients with NMIBC treated with intravesical instillation of domestic BCG have significant short-term efficacy, while patients who have previously received re-TURBT is an independent predictor for recurrence. The domestic BCG have the characteristic of slight side effect, good efficacy and safety.

HDAC7, a member of class IIa HDACs, plays a pivotal regulatory role in tumor, immune, fibrosis, and angiogenesis, rendering it a potential therapeutic target. Nevertheless, due to the high similarity in the enzyme active sites of class IIa HDACs, inhibitors encounter challenges in discerning differences among them. Furthermore, the substitution of key residue in the active pocket of class IIa HDACs renders them pseudo-enzymes, leading to a limited impact of enzymatic inhibitors on their function. In this study, proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology was employed to develop HDAC7 drugs. We developed an exceedingly selective HDAC7 PROTAC degrader B14 which showcased superior inhibitory effects on cell proliferation compared to TMP269 in various diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Subsequent investigations unveiled that B14 disrupts BCL6 forming a transcriptional inhibition complex by degrading HDAC7, thereby exerting proliferative inhibition in DLBCL. Our study broadened the understanding of the non-enzymatic functions of HDAC7 and underscored the importance of HDAC7 in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, particularly in DLBCL and AML.

Objective:To analyze the drug resistance status of Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB)at a hospital in Xiamen over the past decade. Methods:Sputum culture-positive specimens of tuberculosis patients from Xiamen Xinglin Hospital from 2015 to 2024 were collected retrospectively. Isolates were identified as MTB complex and subjected to drug susceptibility testing. Drug resistance patterns and trends over the study period were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square trend tests in SPSS 27.0 and GraphPad Prism 8.0.Results:Among 3 883 MTB isolates analyzed,1 132(29.15%)exhibited resistance to at least one drug. The highest rates of resistance to individual first-line drugs were observed for isoniazid(INH,16.04%),streptomycin(SM,15.43%),and rifampicin(RFP,12.28%). Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis(MDR-TB)was identified in 380 isolates(9.79%). The predominant MDR resistance patterns were INH+RFP+SM(2.34%),INH+RFP(1.65%),and INH+RFP+SM+ethambutol(EMB)(1.03%). Polyresistance was found in 188 isolates(4.84%),the predominant patterns were INH+SM(1.49%),INH+fluoroquinolone(FQs)(0.31%),and INH+para-aminosalicylic acid(PAS)(0.31%). Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis(XDR-TB)was detected in 49 isolates(1.26%). From 2015 to 2024,significant decreasing trends were observed for overall drug resistance( χ2=8.858, P=0.003),MDR( χ2=15.692, P<0.001),and RFP resistance( χ2=21.627, P<0.001). In contrast,fluoroquinolone(FQs)resistance showed no significant trend( χ2=0.149, P=0.699). Among RFP resistant and MDR isolates,FQs resistance rates were notably high at 33.12%(158/477)and 36.84%(140/380),respectively. Conclusions:The MTB resistance situation in the hospital has gradually declined in the past 10 years,but the resistance situation remains severe,and clinical attention needs to be strengthened on the use of FQs.
