OBJECTIVE To know about the perception and current status of drug risk management among pharmacists in Chinese medical institutions, providing insights and recommendations for enhancing the drug risk management system in medical institutions. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted across 28 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions; stratified radom sampling was employed to study the population of medical workers and pharmaceutical professionals in medical institutions nationwide. The survey included information on the survey population, the current status of drug risk management implementation in medical institutions, the cognition, definition and process of drug risk management related concepts, and the content and mode of drug risk management work in medical institutions. Finally, suggestions were collected from various medical institutions on the system construction of drug risk management. Descriptive statistical analysis was adopted to summarize the obtained data. RESULTS A total of 446 questionnaires were collected in this survey, including 420 valid questionnaires and 26 invalid questionnaires. The questionnaire collection rate was 100%,and the effective rate was 94.17%. 51.19% of the respondents No.2020YFC2009001)。 based their understanding of drug risk management on Management Measures for Adverse Drug Reaction Reports and Monitoring, while 87.38% recognized the need for drug risk management throughout the drug use process. 63.33% of the participants stated that their medical institutions had dedicated positions related to drug risk management, with the highest proportion (72.17%) was in third-grade class A medical institutions. 66.43% reported implementing risk management across all drug use stages. Suggestions for the development of drug risk management systems in medical institutions by the research participants focused on enhancing guiding documents, clarifying concepts, establishing information-sharing mechanisms. CONCLUSIONS The overall awareness of drug risk management in China’s medical institutions is high, with practices in place across various stages in multiple forms. However, there remains a need to strengthen institutional documents, management regulations, system development, and information-sharing mechanisms to improve collaborative governance, improve drug management levels, and ensure patient safety.

To summarize Professor GAO Shuzhong's clinical experience in treating idiopathic tinnitus with a combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica. It is believed that idiopathic tinnitus is mostly caused by weak lungs and spleen, kidney essence deficiency, liver constraint transforming into fire, and binding constraint of heart qi. Treatment advocates the combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica in clinical practice. Acupuncture treatment mainly focus on the method of opening the orifices by syndrome identification in combination with Ermen (TE 21), Tinggong (SI 19), Tinghui (GB 2), Shenmai (BL 62) to regulate qi and blood, and supporting with Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (EX-HN 3), Taichong (LR 3), and Yanglingquan (GB 34) to soothe the liver, resolve constraint, and calm the mind. Oral administration of Chinese medicinal prescription usually includes modified Yiqi Congming Decoction (益气聪明汤) and Tongqi Powder (通气散), and the external administration of Chinese medicinal prescription can apply self-prescribed Wenqing Powder (温清散) to navel moxibustion.

Postprandial drowsiness is a clinical condition characterized by pronounced drowsiness after meals, while The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》) associates this condition with wei qi (defensive qi). By analyzing the original texts of The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor and perspectives from many medical professionals, it is found that the transition between wakefulness and sleep depends on the mutual induction of yin and yang, and that the two pathways of wei qi circulation intersect at the spleen and stomach. Based on this, the core pathogenesis of postprandial drowsiness is proposed to be either upper jiao obstruction or spleen-stomach dysfunction, leading to the stagnation of wei qi internally, then the mutual induction of yin and yang causes inward invasion of wei qi in the body, resulting in drowsiness; at this stage, the stagnated and inward invasive wei qi converges at the spleen and stomach, then merges into the circulation of zang-fu organs, rerouting through the Foot Taiyang Meridian, forming a circulation pattern described as "circulating from yin to yang". Treatment should focus on the root and branch simultaneously, with the primary goal of regulating the circulation of wei qi; facilitating its transition from yin to yang to restore the sleep-wake cycle. By proposing the model of wei qi circulating from yin to yang, this study offers novel insights on the understanding of postprandial drowsiness.

ObjectiveTo clarify the application value of nutritional scoring in patients with sepsis and explore the impact of the modified Nutritional Risk in Critically Ill (mNUTRIC) score on the in-hospital fatality of sepsis patients in the emergency intensive care unit (EICU). MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data and laboratory examination results of 436 sepsis patients treated in the EICU of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2021 to May 2024. The patients were divided into survival group (298 cases) and death group (138 cases) according to whether they died or not during hospital treatment, and then compared the two groups’ data. Logistic multi-factor regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for in-hospital death and the ROC curve to evaluate the predictive value of each risk factor for the prognosis of sepsis patients. ResultsThe death group exhibited higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health EvaluationⅡ(APACHE Ⅱ) score, Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score, mNUTRIC score, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, Padua Prediction Score for Venous Thromboembolism, the proportions of chronic kidney failure and pneumonia patients, C-reactive protein (CRP) level, lactate concentration and neutrophil count, but lower prognostic nutritional index, cholinesterase level, cholinesterase-albumin ratio and lymphocyte count than the survival group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the mNUTRIC score [OR=1.254, 95%CI (1.109,1.417)], CRP [OR=1.004, 95%CI (1,1.007)], and pneumonia [OR=1.82, 95%CI (1.017, 3.257)] were independent risk factors for in-hospital death in sepsis patients. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the mNUTRIC score for predicting in-hospital death in sepsis patients was 0.683 [95%CI (0.623,0.742)], with a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 49.3%. The AUC for CRP and pneumonia were 0.602 [95%CI (0.533, 0.671)], and 0.582 [95%CI (0.516,0.647)]. ConclusionThe mNUTRIC score is an independent predictive indicator for in-hospital death in sepsis patients in the EICU.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of the horizontal plate plus raft screws above the acetabulum and fixation with screws only for acetabular fractures combined with dome impaction in the aged patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 20 aged patients with acetabular fractures combined with dome impaction, who were admitted to Tianjin hospital between May 2013 and January 2023, including 5 males and 15 females, aged 61-84 years [(72.2±7.3)years]. According to Letournel and Judet classification, 13 patients had anterior column fracture, 5 anterior column fracture combined with posterior transverse fracture and 2 two-column fracture. All the patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation through an anterior approach. Of them, 11 patients were treated with the fixation with the horizonal plate plus raft screws above the acetabulum (plate plus raft screw group) and 9 with the screws only (screw only group). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and intraoperative fluoroscopy times were compared between the two groups. The quality of fracture reduction was evaluated with the Matta′s radiographic criteria at 3 days after surgery and the function of the hip joint was assessed with Merle D′Aubigné and Postel scoring system at 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up as well as the excellent and good rate at te last follow-up. The occurrence of postoperative complications was observed.Results:All the patients were followed up for 6-18 months [(13.1±3.1)months]. There were no significant differences in the operative time, intraoperative blood loss or intraoperative fluoroscopy times between the two groups ( P>0.05). According to the Matta′s radiographic criteria at 3 days after surgery, patients with anatomical reduction and satisfactory reduction accounted 6 and 5 in the plate plus raft screw group, compared to 5 and 4 respectively in the screw only group ( P>0.05). The values of Merle D′Aubigné and Postel score at 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were (14.0±2.4)points and (15.8±2.2)points in the plate plus raft screw group, which were higher than those in the screw only group [(11.0±2.6)points and (13.0±3.1)points] ( P<0.01). The values of Merle D′Aubigné and Postel score at the last follow-up of both groups were further enhanced from those at 3 months after surgery ( P<0.01). At the last follow-up, 3 patients were rated excellent, 6 good, 1 fair and 1 poor in the plate plus raft screw group, with an excellent and good rate of 81.8%, while in the screw only group, 3 were rated good, 2 fair and 4 poor, with an excellent and good rate of 33.3% ( P<0.05). One patient in the plate plus raft screw group and 5 in the screw only group had displacement of the dome impaction fragment combined with traumatic arthritis after surgery ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For acetabular fractures combined with dome impaction in the aged patients, the horizontal plate plus raft screw above the acetabulum can effectively improve the function restoration of the hip joint and reduce the occurrence of the displacement of the dome impaction fragment and traumatic arthritis after surgery compared to the fixation with screws only.

Objective:To investigate the mid-to-long term therapeutic effects of allogeneic bone composite prosthesis reconstruction in patients with large bone defects after the resection of distal femoral tumors.Methods:From June 2013 to December 2018, a total of 19 patients with malignant tumors of the distal femur who underwent reconstruction with allogeneic bone composite prosthesis in the Department of Bone Tumor, Shanghai General Hospital were retrospectively collected. There were 10 males and 9 females, aged 22.3±11 years (range, 11-42 years). The mean body mass index was 19.3±3.4 kg/m 2 (range, 14-27 kg/m 2). There were 18 cases of osteosarcoma and 1 case of Ewing's sarcoma. According to Ennecking staging, there were 17 cases of stage IIB and 2 cases of stage III. The intraoperative blood loss and operation time were recorded, and the prosthesis and patient survival conditions and postoperative complications were observed. The limb function was evaluated by the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) 93 function score. Results:All patients successfully completed the operation. The operation time was 187.3±39.8 min (range, 110-260 min), the intraoperative blood loss was 284.9±87.0 ml (range, 200-500 ml), and the blood transfusion volume was 327±213 ml (range, 100-800 ml). The remaining length of the proximal femur was 153.7±26.6 mm (range, 93-190 mm), and the length of allogeneic bone was 84.1±24.6 mm (range, 39-134 mm). Among the 19 patients, 9 patients (47%) achieved bony union with an average healing time of 16.7±4.8 months (range, 10-25 months), and 7 patients had delayed healing with an average healing time of 18.4±4.0 months (range, 15-25 months). The remaining 10 cases were nonunion between allogeneic bone and host bone. All patients were followed up for 80.7±20.2 months (range, 56-121 months). During the follow-up, 3 cases died due to pulmonary metastasis of bone tumors, and the time of death was 57 months, 63 months, and 59 months after surgery, respectively. At the last follow-up, the patient survival rate was 84% (16/19), and the MSTS 93 function score of the 16 patients was (24.3±2.4) points (range, 21-28 points), with an excellent rate of 100% (16/16). Seven patients underwent revision surgery, 3 cases were aseptic loosening, 3 cases were prosthesis stem fracture at the junction of the allograft bone and the host bone, and 1 case was periprosthetic infection, among which the patient with periprosthetic infection had poor local soft tissue conditions due to preoperative radiotherapy, and the infection was controlled after two revision surgeries. Five cases were revised with allogeneic bone composite prosthesis, and 2 cases were revised with short-stem giant prosthesis with cortical steel plate or locking nail. After revision, the remaining length of the proximal femur was 143.4±31 mm (range, 91-175 mm), and the length of the allograft bone was 92.6±26.6 mm (range, 61-123 mm). The 7 revised patients were still in follow-up. There were no cases of pulmonary infection, nerve injury, deep vein thrombosis or other complications after surgery.Conclusion:The survival period of patients after the surgery to reconstruct large bone defects following the resection of malignant tumors at the distal end of the femur using allogeneic bone composite prosthesis is satisfactory, and the limb function is good. However, the incidence of prosthesis complications is high, which can be reconstructed through revision.
