Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang was first recorded in the Treatise on Cold Damage (Shang Han Lun). This prescription is composed of Bupleuri Radix, Scutellariae Radix, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Zingiberis Rhizoma, Trichosanthis Radix, Ostreae Concha, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. It has the effects of soothing Lesser Yang, warming the spleen, and stimulating the generation of body fluid. It is mainly used to treat digestive tract diseases such as chronic cholecystitis (CC), irritable bowel syndrome, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Dyspepsia caused by CC presents a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, poor appetite, postprandial fullness, aversion to greasy food, soft stool, and bitter mouth, being a type of biliary dyspepsia. In modern medicine, dyspepsia caused by CC is mainly managed by medical treatment and surgical treatment. Internal medicine mainly focuses on reducing inflammation, promoting the function of gallbladder, resolving stones, alleviating spasms, and relieving the pain for CC, demonstrating definite short-term efficacy but suffering from single effects, high recurrence rate, and poor compliance. Although surgical treatment can cure cholecystitis, it is accompanied by the increased incidence of adverse events such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and dyspepsia. Modern clinical studies have confirmed that Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang can significantly alleviate the symptoms such as abdominal pain and dyspepsia of CC patients. Pharmacological studies have found that Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang mainly contains active ingredients such as Bupleuri Radix saponins, baicalin, cinnamaldehyde, gingerol, Trichosanthis Radix polysaccharide, Ostreae Concha polysaccharide, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma total flavonoids. Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang can ameliorate the symptoms of dyspepsia caused by CC by inhibiting inflammatory responses, improving gallbladder contraction and gastrointestinal motility, regulating the bile acid-intestinal flora axis and the brain-gut axis, and modulating blood lipids through multiple targets. By reviewing the previous literature, this article summarizes the research progress in the treatment of dyspepsia caused by CC with Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang and its main active ingredients as well as the pathogenesis of this disease and puts forward the shortcomings and improvement strategies for the current research. The review aims to provide a reference for the further research on Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang in the treatment of dyspepsia caused by CC.

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 evaluate value of CT perfusion in evaluating the efficacy of different vascular reconstruction methods in the treatment of adult ischemic moyamoya disease.Methods:The clinical data of 80 adult patients with moyamoya disease with ischemic blood type who received revascularization in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from February 2019 to February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 43 patients who received superficial temporal arterio-middle cerebral artery anastomosis (direct group) and 37 patients who received brain-dural arterio-artery vascularization (indirect group). The improvement of clinical symptoms, Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score, collateral vessels and CTP parameters were compared between the two groups.Results:The improvement of clinical symptoms in the direct group was better than that in the indirect group ( P<0.05), and the significant remission rate was significantly higher than that in the indirect group [86.0%(37/43) vs 59.5%(22/37), χ 2=7.262, P=0.007]. The postoperative mRS score in the direct group was significantly lower than that before surgery [0(0, 1) vs 1(1, 2), Z=5.550, P<0.001]. The score of mRS After surgery in the indirect group was significantly lower than that before surgery [0(0, 1) vs 1(1, 2), Z=4.281, P<0.001], but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in digital subtraction angiography (DSA) collateral vessel formation between the two groups ( P>0.05). The CTP parameters of the two groups before and after surgery were consistent between observers and within observers [intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) range 0.88-0.94]. In the operation area, the relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) after surgery was significantly increased, and the relative time to peak (rTTP) and relative mean transit time (rMTT) were significantly decreased in both groups, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). In the ipsilateral basal ganglia and frontal lobe, rCBF in the direct group was significantly increased, rTTP and rMTT were significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05), while there were no statistically significant differences in parameters in the indirect group (all P>0.05). The changes of rCBF, rTTP and rMTT in the operative area in the direct group were better than those in the indirect group, and the changes of rCBF, rTTP and rCBF in the basal ganglia and frontal lobe were better than those in the indirect group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05), while there were no statistically significant differences in the remaining parameters (all P>0.05). Conclusions:CT perfusion is of great value in evaluating the difference of clinical symptom improvement in the treatment of adult ischemic moyamoya disease with different vascular reconstruction methods.

Objective:To study the clinical outcome of palmar approach to on-top plasty in the treatment of unequal radial polydactyly.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with unequal radial polydactyly in which neither thumb duplicates possess both well-developed proximal and distal components. All the patients underwent palmar approach to on-top plasty between September 2013 and September 2023 at Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and Shanxi Children’s Hospital. At the final follow-up, the active flexion-extension range of motion of the first metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints was measured, along with grip and pinch strength. The Vancouver scar scale was used to assess scar formation (total score 0-15, with higher scores indicating more severe scarring). Additionally, the pediatric quality of life inventory (total score 0-100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life, evaluated by the children themselves or by their parents/guardians on their behalf) and the satisfaction questionnaire (total score ranges from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction) were used to assess the patients’ daily quality of life and parents’satisfaction.Results:A total of 28 pediatric patients were included, comprising 15 males and 13 females, with an average age of 15 months (range: 10-36 months). All cases presented unilateral radial polydactyly, including 18 right hands and 10 left hands. The mean follow-up duration was 4.2 years (range: 1.5-6.0 years). All incisions healed in one stage, and the skin flaps survived well without infection. Joint stability was maintained without any deviation. All reconstructed thumbs demonstrated satisfactory aesthetic appearance. The reconstructed thumbs demonstrated mean active flexion-extension arcs of 76° (range 61°-85°) at the first metacarpophalangeal joint, and 42° (range 21°-65°) at the interphalangeal joint. The grip strength of the hand was 82% (63%-90%) of the normal opposite hand. The key, tip and tripod pinch strength were 76%(66%-83%), 77%(66%-85%) and 79%(68%-87%) of the normal opposite hand, respectively. No scar hyperplasia was found in all cases, and the Vancouver scar scale score was 1.2(0-3) points. The self-assessment score of the children on the pediatric quality of life inventory was 86 points, and the score of the parents/guardians was 91 points. In terms of family satisfaction, 23 patients scored 5, and 5 patients scored 4.Conclusion:The use of palmar approach to on-top plasty to treat unequal radial polydactyly can achieve functional and aesthetic results.
