OBJECTIVE To construct specialized file management and risk warning system for narcotic drugs, and promote the refined management of narcotic drugs in medical institutions. METHODS Through the rational medication management system, patient-indexed narcotic drug medication record information was integrated, pain assessment and rapid dose titration modules were constructed, and a prescription pre-review risk warning model was established. Statistical analysis was conducted on the number of drugs returned by patients, interventions for adverse events related to narcotic drug abuse, patient and physician satisfaction, and patient medication adherence before the system was constructed (January-July 2023) and after its stable operation (January-July 2024). RESULTS After the construction of the system, the number of narcotic drugs returned by patients decreased, except for Morphine tablets. The number of interventions for adverse events related to narcotic drug abuse increased from 0 to 5 cases. The patients’ satisfaction with pain control increased from 46.25% to 67.50%, the proportion of patients with poor adherence decreased from 23.75% to 7.50%, and the overall satisfaction of physicians was 72.41%. CONCLUSIONS The construction of a specialized file management and risk warning system for narcotic drugs enables refined management of narcotic drugs, provides alerts for abnormal prescriptions, reduces patient stockpiling of narcotic drugs, allows timely detection and intervention of adverse events related to narcotic drug abuse, improves physician treatment efficiency and precision, and enhances patient pain control satisfaction and medication adherence.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of plasma trough concentration of venetoclax and its influencing factors in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS After 5 days of venetoclax administration, venous blood samples were collected from AML patients before the next dose. Plasma trough concentrations of venetoclax were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Spearman correlation was used to assess the correlations between venetoclax plasma trough concentration and various parameters (including patients’ general information, venetoclax-related indicators, liver function indicators, kidney function indicators, and blood routine indicators). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify independent factors influencing plasma trough concentration of venetoclax. Using efficacy as dependent variable [complete remission (CR)+partial remission (PR) vs. no remission (NR)], univariate and multivariate binary Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors affecting efficacy. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of venetoclax plasma trough concentration for clinical efficacy (assessed as CR). RESULTS A total of 172 venetoclax plasma trough concentration measurements from 101 patients were included in this study. The median plasma trough concentration of venetoclax was 2.38 (1.18, 3.85) μg/mL; the median sampling time for plasma trough concentration of venetoclax was 10 (7, 15) d; the duration of venetoclax use was (34±12) d. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that alkaline phosphatase ( B =14.65, 95%CI: 5.35-23.95, P =0.002), total bilirubin ( B =-101.71, 95%CI: -197.16 to -6.25, P =0.037), and white blood cell count ( B =-106.84, 95%CI: -187.61 to -26.07, P =0.010) were independent factors influencing plasma trough concentration of venetoclax. Due to patient attrition during treatment, 114 venetoclax plasma trough concentration measurements from 69 patients were included for efficacy evaluation. The results showed that 46 patients (66.7%) achieved CR, 11 patients (15.9%) achieved PR, and 12 patients (17.4%) were NR. Multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age, hemoglobin, venetoclax plasma trough concentration, hematocrit, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin were independent factors affecting patient efficacy ( P <0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off value of plasma trough concentration of venetoclax for predicting patient efficacy (assessed as CR) was 1.68 μg/mL (AUC=0.66, 95%CI: 0.54-0.78, P =0.014). CONCLUSIONS There is considerable inter-individual variability in plasma trough concentration of venetoclax among AML patients. Plasma trough concentration of venetoclax is significantly correlated with alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, and white blood cell count. Plasma trough concentration of venetoclax is an independent factor affecting patient’s efficacy, and when the cut-off value for predicting CR is above 1.68 μg/mL, better effects may be achieved.

Objective To investigate the preventive effects of lidocaine administered through different routes on cardiovascular stress responses during anesthesia tracheal intubation. Methods Total 120 patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into three groups: intravenous injection group (group IV), throat spray group (group LJ), and control group (group CT), with 40 patients in each. Group IV received 50 mg of lidocaine via intravenous injection 1 minute before tracheal intubation. Group LJ received 50 mg of lidocaine sprayed into the pharyngeal cavity, glottis, and subglottic area. Group CT did not receive any treatment, and the remaining procedures were performed following the routine general anesthesia induction protocol. Heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were recorded at four time points: T0 (before tracheal intubation), T1 (immediately after tracheal intubation), T2 (3 minutes after intubation), and T3 (5 minutes after intubation). Statistical analysis of the data was performed using SPSS 22.0. Results There were no significant differences in HR at various time points within the group LJ. The changes in HR in the group IV and group CT were different statistically from those in the throat spray group. The blood pressure of patients in all three groups increased to varying degrees immediately after tracheal intubation, with the group CT showing particularly significant changes that differed significantly from both the group IV and the group LJ. The group LJ rapidly returned to levels close to those before intubation. Conclusion The preventive effects of lidocaine on stress responses during tracheal intubation were different depending on the route of administration. The inhibitory preventive effect of the throat spray method was superior to that of intravenous lidocaine, especially in preventing changes in heart rate.

Osteoarthritis (OA) and stroke are common clinical diseases that reduce patients' quality of life and place a burden on families and society. Ruyi Zhenbaowan, a classic prescription in Tibetan medicine, have the functions of clearing heat, awakening the brain and opening orifices, relaxing tendons and promoting meridian circulation, and eliminating yellow water. Clinically, they are used to treat osteoarthritis, post-stroke sequelae, neuropathic pain, and other related conditions. Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and nerve-repairing effects. However, current research remains insufficient regarding the appropriate indications, timing, and efficacy of this medicine in treating relevant diseases. To enhance clinicians' understanding of this medicine and promote its standardized and rational clinical use, a panel of national experts, including clinical specialists, Tibetan medicine practitioners, pharmacologists, and methodologists, formulated this consensus based on clinical experience and evidence-based practice. The Cochrane systematic review framework, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system, and the nominal group method were employed to generate seven graded recommendations and 19 consensus-based suggestions. These recommendations clearly define the key points in the clinical application of Ruyi Zhenbaowan, including therapeutic indications, dosage and administration, treatment duration, and medication safety. The consensus specifically addresses the clinical efficacy, appropriate timing of administration, dosage strategies, treatment cycles, and combination medication strategies for treating osteoarthritis and stroke and provides an overview of safety considerations. The aim is to provide standardized guidance for hospitals and healthcare institutions nationwide to ensure the rational application of Ruyi Zhenbaowan in the treatment of osteoarthritis and stroke, reduce medication-related risks, and further leverage its clinical advantages. This consensus has been approved and issued by the China Association of Chinese Medicine, with the standard number GS/CACM 369-2024.

Objective To compare the long-term survival of elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) treated with surgical versus non-surgical treatment. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of elderly patients aged ≥70 years with ESCC who underwent esophagectomy or radiotherapy/chemotherapy at Sichuan Cancer Hospital from January 2009 to September 2017. Patients were divided into a surgical group (S group) and a non-surgical group (NS group) according to the treatment method. The propensity score matching method was used to match the two groups of patients at a ratio of 1∶1, and the survival of the two groups before and after matching was analyzed. Results A total of 726 elderly patients with ESCC were included, including 552 males and 174 females, with 651 patients aged ≥70-80 years and 75 patients aged ≥80-90 years. There were 515 patients in the S group and 211 patients in the NS group. The median follow-up time was 60.8 months, and the median overall survival of the S group was 41.9 months [95%CI (35.2, 48.5)], while that of the NS group was only 24.0 months [95%CI (19.8, 28.3)]. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates of the S group were 84%, 54%, and 40%, respectively, while those of the NS group were 72%, 40%, and 30%, respectively [HR=0.689, 95%CI (0.559, 0.849), P<0.001]. After matching, 138 patients were included in each group, and there was no statistical difference in the overall survival between the two groups [HR=0.871, 95%CI (0.649, 1.167), P=0.352]. Conclusion Compared with conservative treatment, there is no significant difference in the long-term survival of elderly patients aged ≥70 years who undergo esophagectomy for ESCC. Neoadjuvant therapy combined with surgery is still an important choice to potentially improve the survival of elderly patients with ESCC.

Objective:To explore the causal relationship between 1 400 blood metabolites and hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism by using Mendelian randomization(MR) approach.Methods:This study employed a bi-directional Mendelian randomization analysis and sourced data of blood metabolites related to hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism from the genome-wide association study(GWAS) database. R software and TwoSampleMR software package were used for analysis. The inverse variance weighting method(IVW) was used as the main method, and MR-Egger regression, weighted median method, simple mode and weighted mode were used as supplementary methods to analyze the causal relationship between blood metabolites and hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. The false-positive rate was corrected by false discovery rate(FDR, FDR<0.2) to control for false positives; Meta-analysis of different sample pools was performed for overall assessment. Results:The analysis found three blood metabolites significantly linked to hypothyroidism: pregnenediol disulfate(IVW: OR=1.068, 95% CI 1.032-1.106, P<0.001), 1-(1-enyl-palmitoyl)-2-linoleoyl-GPE(IVW: OR=0.891, 95% CI 0.840-0.944, P<0.001), and linoleic-arachidonic glycerin(IVW: OR =0.923, 95% CI 0.885-0.963, P<0.001). Glutamine was also noted(IVW: OR=0.998, 95% CI 0.997-0.999, P<0.001). Reverse MR showed no significant correlation between hyperthyroidism and the four metabolites(IVW: P>0.05). Validation from FinnGen Biospecimen Library and UKB Biospecimen Library confirmed these findings. Conclusions:Among 1 400 blood metabolites, pregnenediol disulfate showed a positive correlation with hypothyroidism. In contrast, 1-(1-enyl-palmitoyl)-2-linoleoyl-GPE and linoleic-arachidonic glycerin exhibited negative correlations with hypothyroidism, while glutamine showed a negative correlation with hyperthyroidism. This study offers insights into the pathogenesis, early screening, and treatment of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.
