OBJECTIVE To formulate Guidelines for the standardized implementation of pharmacist-managed clinics （ 2026 edition ） in response to the challenges faced by such clinics in China， including uneven development， large discrepancies in service specifications， insufficient patient awareness， and limited medical insurance coverage. METHODS Led by the Pharmaceutical Affairs Professional Committee of the Chinese Hospital Association， the Evidence-based Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association， and the Hospital Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Cross-strait Medical and Health Exchange Association， a total of 19 domestic hospital pharmacy experts were organized. Through a systematic review of national policies and literature research， current practical experience was summarized. Consensus on the contents of the guidelines was reached after in-depth discussions. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS The guidelines covered five sections： definition and connotation of pharmacist-managed clinics， establishment requirements， implementation and management， post competency， and practical research. Firstly， the definition and connotation included three operational forms of pharmacist-managed clinics （independent mode， physician-pharmacist joint mode， and online pharmacist-managed clinic mode） and classified service modes （specialty-specific， drug-specific， and disease-specific pharmacist-managed clinics）. The establishment requirements were further refined， covering system construction （pharmaceutical service management system， quality control and assessment mechanism）， personnel qualifications （professional credentials， continuing education and professional training， etc）， service recipients， as well as service venues and facilities. Subsequently， the implementation and management of pharmacist-managed clinics were proposed， involving service procedures， intervention measures， documentation and records， patient education and follow-up， humanistic care， as well as risk management and quality control. Finally， post competency encompassed the competency requirements for pharmacists providing services in pharmacist-managed clinics， as well as the suggestions on teaching methods； practical research encouraged the conduct of high-quality pharmaceutical practice in the setting of pharmacist-managed clinics. The guidelines provide valuable guidance for the standardized implementation of pharmacist-managed clinics in China in terms of establishment， management， teaching， and research， fill the guideline gap in this field， and can promote the high-quality development of pharmacist-managed clinics.

OBJECTIVE To construct a predictive model for timely medication retrieval of outpatients， accurately identify high-risk patients with delayed medication retrieval， and provide data support for the development of differentiated registration strategies and resource optimization allocation in smart pharmacies. METHODS Based on 680 568 valid outpatient prescription records from January to March 2025 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University， a dual-clustering analysis was conducted using K-means algorithm and Gaussian mixture model （GMM）. An adaptive threshold for medication retrieval time difference was determined by combining contour coefficients， and “timely medication retrieval” and “delayed medication retrieval” were divided to construct binary objective variables； six types of features were screened through a multi-method fusion strategy； the performance of 6 kinds of base learners and 4 kinds of ensemble learning models were evaluated from three dimensions： discrimination， overall performance， and calibration， and explanatory analysis of the models were conducted. RESULTS The results of the dual-clustering analysis showed that the silhouette coefficient of GMM was better than K-means （0.702 4 vs. 0.698 8）， and the final adaptive threshold was determined to be 49.82 min. Among the prescriptions included， 74.99% were for timely medication retrieval and 25.01% were for delayed medication retrieval. Among the 10 candidate models， the Stacking model performed the best， with an area under the test set curve of 0.954 4， F1 score of 0.942 4， accuracy of 0.911 5， Brier score of 0.066， and good discrimination and calibration. The explanatory analysis results of the model showed that its predictions were driven by multiple factors such as patient historical behavior， and diagnostic related characteristics. CONCLUSION This study constructed a timely medication retrieval prediction model for outpatients based on a two-stage adaptive threshold ensemble learning algorithm， which has high accuracy and stability， and can achieve dynamic judgment of patient medication retrieval behavior.

The training of clinical pharmacists in pain specialists often focuses on the education of professional knowledge,while neglecting the important role of ethics in the teaching process.Ethical elements such as the patient's right to informed consent,privacy,health,autonomy have not received sufficient attention in the teaching process.This training model poses a potential threat to patients'rights and interests and may bring ethical risks to pharmacists.To improve teaching quality and avoid risks,lecturers and trainees should deeply understand and respect the various rights of patients,safeguard their right to health from infringement,and ensure that privacy is fully protected.In addition,the patient's right to informed consent should be implemented to allow them to make autonomous choices based on a full understanding of the treatment plan,and humanistic care should be strengthened so that patients can feel the warmth and care from the pharmacists.Through the implementation of ethical measures,the paper aims to provide useful inspirations and references for the teaching work of clinical pharmacists in pain specialists,thereby promoting clinical pharmacists to achieve comprehensive improvement in professional skills and ethical literacy,and better serving the majority of pain patients.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that atorvastatin can up-regulate the expression of heme oxygenase-1 and enhance the anti-inflammation and anti-oxidative damage ability of cells.However,whether atorvastatin can regulate macrophage polarization,inhibit inflammation and reduce cholesterol accumulation by inducing heme oxygenase-1 expression remains unclear. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of atorvastatin on polarization,inflammation and cholesterol content of oxidized low-density lipoprotein stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages by inducing heme oxygenase-1 expression and its related mechanism. METHODS:Firstly,RAW264.7 cells were randomly divided into six groups and incubated with different concentrations of atorvastatin for 24 hours.The expression of heme oxygenase-1 protein and cell activity were detected to explore the optimal dose of atorvastatin for subsequent studies.RAW264.7 cells were randomly divided into control group,atorvastatin group and heme oxygenase-1 inhibition group.Cells were preincubated with pure medium,atorvastatin 20 μmol/L and atorvastatin 20 μmol/L + zinc protoporphyrin IX 10 μmol/L for 24 hours,and then oxidized low-density lipoprotein 50 mg/L was added for 48 hours.The polarization of macrophages was detected by flow cytometry.The secretion of inflammatory factors such as transforming growth factor β,interleukin 10,interleukin 1β,and tumor necrosis factor α was detected by ELISA.The expression levels of heme oxygenase-1,LC3II,LC3I,P62,PPARγ and ABCA1 were detected by western blot assay.The intracellular cholesterol content was measured with the oxidose method and the accumulation degree of intracellular lipid droplets was evaluated by oil red O staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Atorvastatin could induce the expression of heme oxygenase-1 protein in macrophages in a dose-dependent manner.(2)Oxidized low-density lipoprotein could induce macrophages to polarize towards M1,secrete proinflammatory factors,and increase the accumulation of intracellular cholesterol.(3)Compared with the control group,the heme oxygenase-1 protein expression of macrophages was increased after atorvastatin intervention,and the cells turned to M2-type polarization and mainly secreted anti-inflammatory factors such as transforming growth factor-β and interleukin-10.PPARγ,ABCA1,LC3II/I and other signal molecules reflecting cholesterol efflux and autophagy increased,and the contents of intracellular cholesterol and lipid droplets decreased significantly(P<0.05).(4)The heme oxygenase-1 inhibition group treated with zinc protoporphyrin IX significantly reversed the above changes in the atorvastatin group.(5)The results have shown that atorvastatin may promote the polarization of macrophages stimulated by oxidized low-density lipoprotein to M2 type and inhibit inflammation by up-regulating the expression of heme oxygenase-1 and by up-regulating PPARγ/ABCA1 signaling pathway and enhancing autophagy.Atorvastatin can increase the outflow of intracellular cholesterol and reduce the accumulation of intracellular lipids.
