OBJECTIVE To investigate the actual construction and operation status of established and under-construction centralized (cloud) prescription review centers (shortened for “prescription review center”) of close-knit county-level medical consortium in a certain city, so as to provide reference for improving the construction quality of the prescription review center. METHODS An online questionnaire survey was conducted to collect the data from 51 established and under-construction prescription review center in the city, covering basic information, funding sources, talent management, system construction, review rule maintenance, prescription review practices, prescription evaluation, data utilization, and current challenges. The collected data were summarized and analyzed. RESULTS A total of 51 valid questionnaires were retrieved, covering 32 established and 19 under-construction prescription review center. Among the 32 established prescription review centers, the main funding sources for their construction came from government financial allocations, accounting for 56.25%. Only 25.00% of prescription review center had review pharmacists who fully met national qualification requirements, and just 55.00% updated more than 10 review rule entries per month on average. Outpatient prescription verification realized full coverage, but 37.50% of prescription review centers only supported rationality verification of single prescriptions, and 50.00% could not retrieve laboratory and examination results to assist in prescription review. Additionally, 40.62% of prescription review center had not regularly conducted prescription evaluations for primary care institutions. The data from prescription review center was mainly used to support medication monitoring. Among the 19 prescription review centers currently in the planning stage, 63.16% had no identified funding sources. CONCLUSIONS The operation and construction of prescription review center in the city face challenges, such as funding shortages, absence of collaborative incentive mechanisms, and insufficient manpower.It is suggested that the state should issue a unified standard for the construction of the prescription review center as soon as possible, and local health administrative departments should formulate supporting policies and clarify assessment indicators in combination with the actual situation of the region.

ObjectiveTo investigate the reversal effect of Cordyceps sinensis extract on immunotherapy resistance of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MethodsELISA, flow cytometry, and co-culture assays were performed to evaluate the effects of Cordyceps sinensis extract on cytokine secretion, proliferation, and tumor cell killing activity of Jurkat (JKT) cells. Furthermore, the therapeutic effect of Cordyceps sinensis extract on programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) resistant lung cancer was evaluated through in vivo experiments both alone and in combination with anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody. ResultsCordyceps sinensis extract enhanced the secretion of cytokines interferon gamma(IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α) and interleukin-2 (IL-2)in JKT cells, promoted cell proliferation (P=0.006), and boosted their killing function against tumors (P<0.001). Compared with the control group, in vivo study demonstrated that Cordyceps sinensis extract monotherapy effectively inhibited the growth of PD-L1-resistant tumors [tumor growth inhibition value (TGI)=26.1%, P=0.090], while its combination with anti-PD-L1 antibody significantly reversed PD-L1 resistance (TGI=50.6%, P<0.001). ConclusionThis study provides certain data support for the activation of anti-tumor immunity by Cordyceps sinensis extract, and offers a new treatment strategy for enhancing anti-tumor immunity and reversing immune resistance in lung cancer.

Objective:
To analyze the temporal changes in lipid levels in patients following acute pancreatitis(AP) and explore the factors associated with post-AP serum triglyceride( TG) level changes.
Methods:
Patients diag- nosed with AP were included in this study. Clinical data were collected retrospectively , and lipid profile data from follow-up visits after discharge were tracked. Kaplan-Meier(K-M) curves were used to stratify follow-up duration ,iodine content detection. Thyroid volume was measured using a fully digital ultrasound imaging system , and goiter prevalence was calculated.
Results:
A total of 141 patients with 306 follow⁃up visits were included. Spearman correlation analysis showed a mild increase in lipid levels over time post⁃discharge : TG( r = 0. 159 , P = 0. 005) , total cholesterol(TC)( r = 0. 231 , P < 0. 000 1) , high⁃density lipoprotein cholesterol( HDL⁃C) ( r = 0. 181 , P = 0. 002) , and apolipoproteinA1 ( ApoA1) ( r = 0. 371 , P <0. 000 1) . In the univariate linear mixed model , male gender(β = 0. 160 ,P = 0. 007) , body mass index(BMI) (β= 0. 017 , P = 0. 007) , diabetes history(β = 0. 138 , P = 0. 030) , smoking history(β = 0. 166 ,P = 0. 004) , and recurrent AP(β = 0. 119 , P = 0. 029) were significantly associated with Lg(TG) levels (P < 0. 05) . In the multivariate model , BMI( β = 0. 019 , P = 0. 042) , smoking history ( β = 0. 155 , P = 0. 049 ) , and recurrent AP( β =0. 148 , P = 0. 032) remained significantly positively correlated with changes in Lg(TG) levels after AP , albeit with a low correlation strength (r < 0. 200) .
Conclusion
Lipid levels , including TG , TC , HDL⁃C and ApoA1 , tend to increase over time in AP patients after discharge , with this trend being more pronounced in those with hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis. Post⁃AP TG levels are significantly influenced by BMI at the time of onset , smoking history and recurrent AP.

Objective:We aimed to analyse the trend of incidence and mortality of stomach cancer in Shandong province from 2012 to 2022 and predict the development trend from 2023 to 2030.Methods:Data on incidence and mortality of stomach cancer in Shandong province from 2012 to 2022 were obtained from Shandong Cancer Registry. The incidence, age-specific incidence, mortality and age-specific mortality in different years, sexes and urban and rural areas were calculated, the rates were standardized based on the age composition of the Chinese standard population in 2000. The average annual percent change (AAPC) of incidence and mortality was calculated using Joinpoint software. The Bayesian age-period-cohort model was used to predict the trend of stomach cancer incidence and mortality from 2023 to 2030.Results:From 2012 to 2022, the stomach cancer age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) showed a decreasing trend. The ASIR decreased from 27.47/100 000 in 2012 to 16.06/100 000 in 2022 (AAPC=-5.10%, P<0.001), and the ASMR decreased from 17.69/100 000 to 11.09/100 000 (AAPC=-5.52%, P<0.001). The ASIR and ASMR of male, female, urban and rural population also showed downward trends. The incidence and mortality rates of men were always higher than those of women, and the difference between urban and rural areas is gradually narrowing. In 2022, the ASIR (16.09/100 000 in urban and 16.03/100 000 in rural) and the ASMR (11.10/100 000 in urban and 11.08/100 000 in rural) of stomach cancer between urban and rural areas were nearly identical. The Bayesian age-period-cohort model predicted that the ASIR of stomach cancer in Shandong would further decrease from 2023 to 2030 (AAPC=-0.51%, P=0.001), but the change tended to be smooth. The incidences in male (AAPC=-1.46%, P=0.010) and rural areas (AAPC=-1.21%, P<0.001) were still expected to have a little room for decline. The trend of incidences in female and urban areas were not statistically significant. The trend of mortality was consistent with the incidence. Conclusions:The stomach cancer incidence and mortality in Shandong shows a decreasing trend and it is expected to decrease further by 2030. However, the trend tends to be smooth, and the disease burden should be reduced as early as possible for high-risk population and high-risk factors of stomach cancer.

Objective:To describe the trend of mortality and death spectrum in Shandong Province from 1970 to 2021 and provide basis for the targeted disease prevention and control.Methods:The data were collected from the death registration reports of Shandong and 3 national retrospective surveys of death causes in Shandong. The change in levels of overall and specific deaths in Shandong in different years were analyzed based on mortality rate, age-standardized mortality rate and constituent ratio of cause of death, differential decomposition was used to quantify the contribution of demographic and non-demographic factors to changes of mortality.Results:The crude mortality rate in residents in Shandong was basically stable from 1970 to 2021, and the mortality rate during 2020-2021 (732.73/100 000) was slightly higher than that during 1970-1974 (671.98/100 000). While the standardized mortality rate decreased significantly, and the mortality during 2020-2021 (183.39/100 000) decreased by 67.71% compared with that during 1970-1974 (568.00/100 000). The negative increase of population factors and the positive decrease of non-population factors reacted each other, so the mortality was relatively stable. Cardiac-cerebrovascular disease was always the leading cause of death, but the constituent ratio of death increased rapidly from 19.70% during 1970-1974 to 54.72% during 2020-2021. The rank in the causes of death changed from the fourth (11.46%) to the second (25.70%) for malignant tumor, from the seventh (5.85%) to the third (5.59%) for injury, from the second (12.87%) to the fourth (4.99%) for chronic respiratory diseases, from the third (12.27%) to the tenth (0.42%) for infectious diseases. The standardized mortality rates of the main causes of death decreased at different degrees, the standardized mortality rates of obstetrical disease, infectious disease, gastrointestinal disease and chronic respiratory disease decreased by more than 50.00%. The age distribution of deaths and the death spectrum in different age groups and in urban-rural populations changed significantly. During 2020-2021, the proportion of deaths in young people aged 0-14 years was 0.54%, which was 97.05% lower than that during 1970-1974, while the proportion of deaths in the elderly aged ≥75 years was 55.14%, which was 55.75% higher than that during 1970-1974. The rank of infectious diseases in the causes of death descended significantly in all age groups, but the ranks of injury, neuropsychiatric disease and malignant tumor rose significantly in adolescents, and the ranks of endocrine nutrition and metabolic disease rose in middle-aged and elderly people. The difference of death spectrum between urban area and rural area became less obvious and the main death causes in urban and rural residents were basically the same during 2020-2021.Conclusions:The death spectrum of residents in Shandong changed significantly. Chronic and non-communicable diseases, especially cardiac-cerebrovascular disease and malignant tumor, should be the focus in disease control and prevention. The prevention and control of diseases in Shandong made remarkable achievement during 1970-2021. However, in the context of population ageing, it is suggested to strengthen the treatment, prevention of diseases and injuries related to the health of the elderly and elderly health care in the future.

Objective:To understand the characteristics and trends of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Shandong Province and to provide evidence for formulating prevention and control strategies.Methods:Data were derived from the AMI incidence reports of Shandong Province's Chronic Disease Surveillance Information Management System in 2012-2021. The crude and standardized incidence rates were used as indicators to describe the incidence level of AMI. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to analyze the trends in the incidence and age of onset over the years. The contribution of population aging to the increase in AMI incidence was assessed using the rate difference decomposition method. The incidence of AMI in each district (county) in Shandong Province was visualized using ArcGIS 10.8 software, and global and local spatial autocorrelation analysis was performed using DeoDa 1.12 software.Results:From 2012 to 2021, 198 233 cases of AMI were reported from 19 provincial monitoring sites in Shandong Province, of which 53.13% were males and 97.12% were ≥45 years old. The reported crude incidence increased from 90.12 per 100 000 in 2012 to 176.54 per 100 000 in 2021, with an average annual increase of 7.01% ( Z=7.35 , P<0.001). There was no significant upward trend in standardized incidence ( Z=1.64 , P=0.140), but the standardized incidence of male residents showed an increasing trend ( Z=2.76 , P=0.028). Before 2014, the reported crude incidence of males was similar to that of females, but after 2014, the reported crude incidence of males was continuously higher than that of females. However, males' standardized incidence was higher than females in all years. Both crude and standardized incidence rates were higher in rural residents than in urban areas. The median onset of AMI increased from 71.6 years old in 2012 to 73.5 years old in 2021. The median age of onset in males was lower than that in females in all years, and in most years, the median age of onset in urban residents was lower than that in rural residents. The incidence of AMI in males showed a trend in younger age groups. According to the seasonal decomposition, the incidence peak of AMI was in January, and the trough was in September. The contribution of aging population to the increase in crude incidence of AMI increased from 8.63% in 2013 to 52.58% in 2021. The global spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the incidence of AMI presented an obvious spatial clustering distribution. Local spatial autocorrelation analysis found that the high-incidence areas (counties) were mainly concentrated in Liaocheng City and Dezhou City in the northwest region of Shandong Province and Heze City in the southwest. Conclusions:The incidence of AMI among residents in Shandong Province was rising, with spatial clustering and seasonal clustering characteristics. People aged 45 years and older, male residents, and rural residents were at high risk of developing AMI. There was a certain trend of younger age at onset among men. Targeted prevention and control measures should be taken for high-incidence seasons, high-risk groups, and high-incidence clustering areas in northwestern Shandong Province.

Objective:To analyze the trend of incidence and mortality of thyroid cancer and estimate its age-period-cohort effect in Shandong Province from 2012 to 2022.Methods:The Joinpoint regression was used to analyze the trend of incidence and mortality of thyroid cancer and calculate the average annual percentage change (AAPC) based on the data on thyroid cancer from 2012 to 2022. The age-period-cohort model was used to analyze the age-effect, time-effect and cohort-effect of thyroid cancer risk in the population aged over 20 years.Results:From 2012 to 2022, the incidence of thyroid cancer in Shandong province showed a significant upward trend, with an AAPC of 21.68% (95% CI: 19.14%-24.27%, P<0.001). The incidence of females was higher than that of males, and the incidence of urban areas was higher than that of rural areas. The trend of thyroid cancer mortality was relatively stable with an AAPC of -3.04% (95% CI:-8.81%-3.09%, P=0.323). The age effect of incidence increased with age before 60 years old and decreased with age after 60 years old. The incidence peaked in the age group of 55-59. The period effect increased with time. The cohort effect showed that the cohort born before 1957 had a downward trend over time, while the cohort born after 1957 had an upward trend. Conclusion:The incidence of thyroid cancer in Shandong shows a rising trend from 2012 to 2022. Age is an important factor affecting the risk of thyroid cancer. The mortality of thyroid cancer remains stable.
