OBJECTIVE To address the management challenges encountered by inpatient pharmacy of our hospital in undertaking “internet-based medicine delivery” （IMD） services， and to improve service efficiency and medication safety. METHODS SWOT analysis method was applied to systematically examine both internal and external factors， formulate comprehensive management strategies， and restructure the service processes. Process optimization included： establishing a closed-loop process for dispensing and returning drugs based on the drug traceability codes； unifying the drug inventory of the inpatient pharmacy with that of IMD， optimizing the management of storage locations； improving the inventory management function of the hospital information system， and adjusting the inventory counting plan and shift scheduling rules. The indicators of the inpatient pharmacy， including inventory structure， dispensing efficiency， inventory checks accuracy rate， the rationality rate of prescription， and consistency rate of human-machine review， were compared before and after the implementation of the strategies to evaluate the implementation effects. RESULTS After implementation， the structure of the drug inventory was significantly optimized. The proportion of drugs approaching their expiration dates decreased by 35.55%， the proportion of unsold drugs decreased by 64.52%， and the proportion of drugs that had been accumulated for more than 4 weeks decreased by 33.26%. The speed of prescription dispensing increased by 34.92%， and the daily drug requisition time was shortened by 62.03%. The accuracy rate of inventory checks rose from 86.33% to 90.33%， while the rationality rate of prescriptions and the consistency rate of human-machine review rose from 86.00% and 89.33% to 95.00% and 97.00% respectively. Furthermore， the launch of the drug traceability system reduced external dispensing errors from 4 to 1. CONCLUSIONS The comprehensive management strategy based on SWOT analysis can effectively improve the quality of drug management in the inpatient pharmacy and the operational efficiency of IMD， ensuring timely and safe medication for patients.

The traditional theory of "the spleen governs the dispersion of essence" refers to the spleen's pivotal role in distributing refined nutrients throughout the body. In traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， lipids are categorized under "gaozhi （膏脂）"， and their transportation and metabolism via apolipoproteins are believed to be closely related to the spleen's dispersing function. The liver， which synthesizes apolipoproteins， is functionally linked to the spleen system in TCM. Impaired dispersion of essence by the spleen and disrupted transportation of gaozhi constitute the pathological mechanism of dyslipidemia due to spleen deficiency. Strengthening the spleen and resolving dampness is the core therapeutic principle. From the perspective of modern medicine， this may involve promoting hepatic functional recovery related to lipid metabolism， thereby enhancing lipid processing and reducing the levels of abnormally accumulated lipids in the bloodstream.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the role of PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) in regulating the viability, migration, and apoptosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, and to explore its potential epigenetic mechanisms. METHODS: PINK1 was overex-pressed or knocked down in HCT116 and DLD1 CRC cell lines using lentiviral vectors, with efficiency verified by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and apoptosis were assessed using CCK-8, colony formation, wound healing, Transwell, and Hoechst 33258 staining assays, respectively. Protein levels of apoptosis-related and histone modification-related markers were analyzed by Western blotting. Genome-wide chromatin accessibility was profiled using ATAC-seq. RESULTS: PINK1 expression was significantly downregulated at both mRNA and protein levels in CRC tissues compared to normal tissues. PINK1 overexpression inhibited cell prolifera-tion, colony formation, and migration in HCT116 and DLD1 cells (all P<0.05), whereas PINK1 knockdown promoted these malignant phenotypes (all P<0.05). PINK1 overex-pression induced apoptosis, associated with decreased levels of anti-apoptotic proteins (Mcl-1, Bcl-2, Bcl-xl) and increased pro-apoptotic Bax (all P<0.05), without altering p53 expression. Mechanistically, PINK1 overexpression reduced the expression of histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) and histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3), and increased the expression of histone H3 lysine 9 acetylation (H3K9ac) and histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac). It also downregulated key histone-modifying enzymes, including EZH2, EZH1, SUZ12, and histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) (all P<0.01). ATAC-seq revealed that PINK1 overexpression increased chromatin accessibility, particularly around transcription start sites. CONCLUSIONS PINK1 acts as a tumor suppressor in colorectal cancer by inhibiting proliferation and migration, promoting apoptosis, and remodeling the epigenetic landscape through altering histone modifications and enhancing chromatin accessibility.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of peripheral retinal defocus distribution in adult myopia and its relationship with refractive error.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.A total of 270 myopic patients aged 18 to 46 years were enrolled at Tianjin Eye Hospital from January to March 2024.Data from the right eye were included in the analysis.Spherical power and cylindrical power were obtained using an autorefractor and the spherical equivalent (SE) was calculated.Corneal curvature parameters including flap keratometry (K1), steep keratometry (K2), and average keratometry (Km) were measured using the Pentacam anterior segment imaging analyzer.Central corneal thickness (CCT) and axial length (AL) were measured using the IOLMaster optical biometer.Peripheral defocus within a 53° area centered on the fovea was assessed using multispectral refractive topography.Based on the peripheral defocus data, the distribution patterns were classified into four types: hemilateral upturn type, saddle type, crater type, and relatively flat type.Characteristics of different tpes and their correlation with diopter were analyzed.This study followed the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Tianjin Eye Hospital (No.KY-2024020).All participants voluntarily participated and signed the informed consent form.Results:Of the different types of peripheral retinal defocus, 186 eyes (68.63%) were hemilateral upturn type, 45 eyes (16.61%) were crater type, 36 eyes (13.28%) were relatively flat type, and 3 eyes (1.11%) were saddle type.The crater type exhibited the lowest mean SE of (-6.18±1.50)D, while the relatively flat type showed the highest mean SE of (-3.88±0.87)D.There were significant differences in SE and AL among different peripheral defocus types ( F=15.469, 17.928, 3.431; all P<0.05).The hemilateral upturn type had significantly lower SE and spherical diopter than the relatively flat type, and crater type had significantly lower SE and spherical diopter compared to the hemilateral upturn type and relatively flat type significantly, and the hemilateral upturn type had longer AL than the relatively flat type (all P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in CCT, K1, K2, or Km among different peripheral defocus types ( F=0.861, 1.761, 2.603, 2.248; all P>0.05).Spherical power was weakly negatively correlated with superior, inferior, and temporal peripheral defocus ( r=-0.269, P<0.001; r=-0.176, P<0.01; r=-0.292, P<0.001).Age was positively correlated with superior and temporal peripheral defocus ( rs=0.213, P<0.001; rs=0.181, P=0.003), and negatively correlated with nasal peripheral defocus ( rs=-0.138, P=0.023). Conclusions:Among adult peripheral defocus patterns, the hemilateral upturn type is predominant.The crater type has the lowest mean spherical equivalent, while the relatively flat type has the highest.There are negative correlations between spherical power and the superior, inferior, and temporal peripheral defocus.

Objective To explore the correlation between the expression level of serum fibrinogen-like protein 1(FGL1)and the indexes of metabolism and renal function in patients with diabetic nephropathy(DN)and diabetes mellitus(DM),and provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods From January 2017 to April 2023,30 patients with DM and treated in Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine were selected as the DM group,68 patients with DN were selected as the DN group,and 36 healthy subjects were selected as the control group.The DN group was further divided into the early DN(DN-E)group(n=38)and the late DN(DN-A)group(n=30)according to whether there was a large amount of proteinuria and the severity.Clinical data such as serum albumin(ALB),estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)and albumin-to-creatinine ratio(ACR)were collected.Serum FGL1 level was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Pearson linear correlation was used for correlation,the diagnostic value was analyzed by ROC curve.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of ACR,FGL1 in patients with DM group increased,the levels of eGFR decreased,and the differences were statistically significant(t=5.686,4.336,-4.683,all P<0.05).Compated with the DM group,the levels of ACR,FGL1 in patients with DN-E group was increased,and the level of eGFR was decreased,and the differences were statistically significant(t=5.275,3.454,-4.969,all P<0.05).Compared with the DN-E group,the levels of ACR,FGL1 in the DN-A group were increased,the levels of eGFR were decreased,and the differences were statistically significant(t=7.881,7.051,-5.596,all P<0.05).Serum FGL1 level was negatively correlated with ALB and eGFR(r=-0.638,-0.547,all P<0.05),and positively correlated with ACR(r=0.691,P<0.05).The AUC(95%CI),specificity and sensitivity of serum FGL1 level in the diagnosis of DN were 0.947(0.908～0.987),100%and 82.4%,respectively.Conclusion The level of serum FGL1 in DN and DM patients is high,and the level of serum FGL1 is closely related to the common metabolic indexes such as ALB,eGFR and ACR in the diagnosis of DN,which may have certain clinical diagnostic value.

Objective To analyze the efficacy of autologous tissue repair for rectocele through the perineal approach in treating constipation and fecal incontinence in patients.Methods From January 2021 to November 2022,23 female patients with symptomatic rectal protrusion were treated with perineal autologous tissue repair.Preoperatively and at 12 months postoperatively,the Cleveland Clinic Constipation Score(CCCS),Cleveland Clinic Incontinence Score(CCIS),and Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life(PAC-QOL)questionnaires were used to assess postoperative outcomes and quality of life.Results Among the 23 patients,with a median follow-up time of 12.6 months,CCCS decreased from 17.09±1.68 to 3.96±2.08(P＜0.05);CCIS decreased from 1.52±4.15 to 0.52±1.41(P＞0.05);PAC-QOL:physical discomfort decreased from 13.00±1.51 to 4.74±1.98;psychological discomfort decreased from 20.96±3.27 to 5.74±2.67;concern and anxiety decreased from 26.13±4.37 to 8.78±3.14;satisfaction decreased from 15.39±2.35 to 4.60±1.59(P＜0.05).All patients showed significant improvement in constipation and incontinence symptoms postoperatively,with no serious postoperative complications and a marked improvement in postoperative quality of life.Conclusion Rectocele repair with perineal approach using autologous tissue is an effective and safe method,avoiding potential potential complications associated with grafts.

Objective:To investigate the methods and skills required for the safe and swift removal of primary or secondary sacral tumors located between the second (inclusive) and fourth sacral vertebrae.Methods:The clinical images, pathology reports, surgical procedures, operation durations, intraoperative bleeding volumes, and postoperative functional follow-up data of 26 patients undergoing sacral tumor resection at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Hospital between May 2020 and February 2025 were retrospectively examined. Additionally, the safety measures for sacral tumor resection and techniques for expedited specimen removal were evaluated.Results:According to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, all 26 patients presented with sacral tumors located between the second (inclusive) and fourth sacral vertebrae. Specifically, 9 patients were diagnosed with primary sacral tumors, pathologically confirmed as chordomas, while 17 patients had secondary sacral tumors. Among the secondary tumor cases, 12 were attributed to recurrent rectal cancer invading the sacrum, and 5 were due to malignant teratomas invading the sacrum. The 26 patients underwent a treatment strategy that began with managing the relationship between the internal iliac artery, vein branches, and the tumor, followed by the resection of the sacrum. During surgery, the bilateral sciatic foramina were accurately positioned, and the presacral fascia was dissected subsequent to the fracture of the sacrum. Among the 26 patients, 9 underwent sacral tumor resection directly through the posterior sacral approach. The average operation time for these patients was (71.1±4.9) minutes, with average blood loss of (186.7±72.8) milliliters. On the other hand, 17 patients underwent sacral tumor resection by transitioning from the supine position to the prone knife position through a combined abdominal and sacral approach. The average operation time for this group was (213.5±19.3) minutes, with average blood loss of (480.0±93.0) milliliters, significantly longer than that of the posterior sacral approach. The follow-up period ranged from 1 to 48 months, with a median of 20 months, ending on March 31, 2025. During this time, 26 patients achieved autonomous defecation with the aid of medication. None of the patients reported any functional movement disorders or pain in their lower limbs. It was observed that two out of the 26 patients developed distant metastasis, while the remaining 24 patients survived without any tumors.Conclusion:By pretreated the relationship between the internal iliac vessels and sacral tumors prior to resecting sacral tumors, utilizing the approach of initially fracturing the sacrum followed by rupturing the presacral fascia, the tumor can be entirely eliminated, resulting in a brief surgical procedure, reduced intraoperative bleeding, and minimal postoperative complications.

One-day-old AA broilers were divided into five groups(15 chickens each,5 replicates per group):control(basic diet),three groups with low,medium,and high doses of crude extract of Flos sophorae and Fructus sophorae(100,150,200 mg/kg),and one group with Macleaya cordata extract(300 mg/kg).The 42-day trial measured intestinal enzyme activity,morphology,antioxidant and immune capacity,barrier function,and microbiota structure and diversity.Compared to the control and Macleaya cordata groups,the high-dose crude extract of Flos sophorae and Fructus sophorae group significantly increased trypsin activity in the duodenum,jejunum,and ileum(P＜0.05).It also reduced reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde levels,increased glu-tathione peroxidase activity,reduced tumor necrosis factor-α,increased interleukin-10,and elevated mRNA expression of tight junction protein-1 and mucin-2 in the jejunum(P＜0.05).Microbial di-versity analysis showed higher Shannon index,increased Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes,decreased Proteobacteria,and more beneficial bacteria in the high-dose group(P＜0.05).Supplementing 200 mg/kg of crude extract of Flos sophorae and Fructus sophorae enhances intestinal morpholo-gy and function,and promotes intestinal health,thereby increasing farming efficiency.

In order to investigate the effects of Fuzi Lizhong Oral liquid on immune function and in-testinal health of chicks,185 1-day-old healthy chicks were randomly divided into 4 groups.The blank control group(CG group)was given normal tap water;the high,medium and low dose groups(FZH group,FZM group and FZL group)were given tap water containing 5.00,2.50 and 1.25 g/L of Fuzi Lizhong Oral liquid,respectively.Starting from the first day of age,the drug was administered continuously for 5 d,and the blood was collected from the subwing vein on the sixth day of the test.The results showed that compared with CG group,thymus index in FZH group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with CG group,serum IgM,IgG and sIgA in FZH group were significantly increased(P＜0.05),and serum IgG and sIgA in FZM group were signifi-cantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with CG group,the relative expression of Occludin and Claudin-1 mRNA in FZH group was significantly increased(P＜0.05),and the relative expression of ZO-1 mRNA in FZM and FZH groups was significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with CG group,Shannon index of FZH group was significantly increased(P＜0.05),Simpson index of FZH group was significantly decreased(P＜0.05),and many beneficial bacteria such as Strepto-coccus spinosus,Eubacillus spinosus and Lactobacillus spinosus played a synergistic role.The results showed that adding 5.00 g/L Fuzi Lizhong Oral liquid in drinking water could improve the immunity of chicks,maintain the intestinal barrier function of chicks,increase the intestinal flora richness and promote the intestinal health of chicks.
