Objective: Patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are classified as very-high-risk individuals in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk stratification. The distribution pattern of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes in this patient population, as well as its association with blood lipid profiles and clinical prognosis, remains unclear. The present prospective cohort study aims to investigate these correlations, thereby providing insights to enrich the research fields. Methods: We enrolled consecutive patients with ASCVD who underwent PCI at the Integrated Cardiology Unit of China-Japan Friendship Hospital between September 1, 2020 and December 31, 2022. Demographics and clinical characteristics, signs and symptoms defining each TCM syndrome, and fasting venous blood samples were collected at baseline and follow up or upon major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). We analyzed the correlation between TCM syndromes, blood lipid profiles, and MACEs, and developed a new joint prognostic model incorporating both TCM syndromes and blood lipids using logistic regression. The analyses were based on detailed baseline and one-year follow-up data. Results: A per-protocol analysis was performed on 586 patients with complete data ultimately. During the one-year follow-up, 174 patients (29.69%) experienced a MACE. We performed statistical analyses on comorbidities, medication, and biochemical indicators across groups defined by TCM syndrome differentiation. When comparing different TCM syndromes, no significant differences were found in age, body mass index (BMI), history of revascularization, comorbidities, family history of CVD, smoking or drinking, or statin intensity (P > 0.05). Patients with intertwined phlegm and blood stasis syndrome exhibited significantly higher levels of total cholesterol (TC, 5.27 ± 1.18 mmol/L, P < 0.001), triglyceride (TG, 1.96 ± 1.33 mmol/L, P = 0.008), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C, 3.35 ± 0.79 mmol/L, P < 0.001), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C, 1.24 ± 0.81 mmol/L, P < 0.001) compared with those with other TCM syndromes combined. A multivariable logistic regression model was constructed to predict MACEs. The model included TCM syndrome type [with intertwined phlegm and blood stasis as a predictor, adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.413, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.517 – 3.864, P = 0.501], age (adjusted OR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.955 – 1.001, P = 0.057), male gender (adjusted OR = 0.698, 95% CI: 0.416 – 1.170, P = 0.173), TC (adjusted OR = 1.004, 95% CI: 0.513 – 1.965, P = 0.990), and LDL-C (adjusted OR = 5.825, 95% CI: 2.214 – 15.326, P < 0.001). This model demonstrated good discriminatory ability for MACEs in post-PCI ASCVD patients [the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) = 0.865, 95% CI: 0.816 – 0.914]. Conclusion The intertwined phlegm and blood stasis TCM syndrome is associated with a distinct atherogenic lipid profile characterized by elevated levels of TC and LDL-C. The prognostic model that incorporates this TCM syndrome type along with conventional lipid parameters (TC and LDL-C) shows good discriminatory ability for predicting MACEs in ASCVD patients after PCI, underscoring the potential clinical utility of integrating TCM syndrome differentiation into CVD risk assessment.

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.

Antibody-drug conjugates （ADCs） are a novel class of anti-tumor agents composed of a targeted monoclonal antibody， a cytotoxic drug， and a linker connecting the two. They combine the high specificity of antibodies with the potent cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic agents. Triple-negative breast cancer （TNBC） is characterized by high aggressiveness， elevated risks of recurrence and metastasis， and poor prognosis， largely due to the lack of effective therapeutic targets. This review summarizes the research progress of ADCs in the treatment of TNBC. It has been found that ADCs targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 （such as trastuzumab deruxtecan）， trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 （such as sacituzumab govitecan and datopotamab deruxtecan）， zinc transporter LIV-1 （such as ladiratuzumab vedotin）， HER-3 （such as patritumab deruxtecan）， epidermal growth factor receptor （such as AVID100）， and glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma protein B （such as glembatumumab vedotin） have all demonstrated promising therapeutic effects against TNBC. Despite challenges including acquired resistance and treatment-related toxicities， ADCs are undoubtedly reshaping the therapeutic landscape for TNBC and are expected to occupy a more central position in TNBC treatment in the future.

Objective : To explore the changes in behavior and spatial memory of C57BL/6J female mice of different ages (youth , middle-aged , and elderly) . Methods: C57BL/6J female mice were divided into female youth group (YG group) , female middle-aged group ( MG group) and female elderly group ( OG group) according to age. The Morris water maze test measured spatial memory ability , and the open field and elevated cross maze test observed activity level and anxiety level. Western blot was used to determine the protein expressions of CREB , CaMKⅡ(pan) and CaMKⅡ(p) in the hippocampus of the brain tissues of female mice in each group. Results: Compared with the YG group , the weight of the MG group and the OG group significantly increased (P < 0. 01 , P < 0. 001) . Compared with the OG group , the third quadrant escape latency and the number of crossings in the YG group and MG group were shortened , and the difference was not statistically significant. Compared with the OG group , there was a statistically significant difference in the exercise speed in the open field of the YG group (P < 0. 01) , there was no significant difference in the movement speed in the open field of the MG group , the number of entries into the central zone significantly increased in the MG group ( P < 0. 05 ) , and there was no significant difference in the number of entries in the YG group (P > 0. 05) . Compared with the OG group , the YG group had a statistically significant difference in the elevated cross maze (P < 0. 05) , the MG group had no statistically signif- icant difference in the elevated cross maze , and the number of closed arm entries in the YG group and MG group significantly increased (P < 0. 001 , P < 0. 01) . Compared with the YG group , the relative expression level of CaMKⅡ(pan) in the OG group was statistically significant ( P < 0. 05 ) , while the relative expression level of CaMKⅡ(pan) in the MG group was not statistically significant ( P > 0. 05) . Conclusion With the increase of age , the weight of C57BL/6J female mice gradually increased , the activity level and desire to explore gradually de- creased , the spatial memory ability also declined , and the anxiety level and anxiety-like behavior increased. This study helps to reveal the effect of age on the activity level and cognitive function of females , and provides a refer- ence for studying cognitive and memory decline in older females.

Objective To analyze the current status of occupational stress among primary and secondary school teachers, and explore the dose-response relationship between weekly work hours and occupational stress. Methods A total of 1 252 teachers from 13 primary and secondary schools in three prefecture-level cities of a central province of China were selected as the research subjects by the convenience sampling method. The Core Occupational Stress Scale was used to assess occupational stress levels of the teachers. Multivariate logistic regression analysis combined with restricted cubic spline models was applied to study the dose-response relationship between weekly work hours and occupational stress. Results The average weekly work hours were (55.3±15.9) hours, with 78.6% of teachers working more than 40.0 hours per week. The total score of occupational stress was (40.3±8.2) points, and the detection rate of occupational stress was 29.8%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis combined with restricted cubic spline models revealed a linear dose-response relationship in weekly work hours and occupational stress among teachers (P for overall trend <0.05, P for nonlinearity was 0.22). Result of age-stratified analysis showed that weekly work hours had a linear dose-response relationship with occupational stress risk in teachers aged 21-<31 and 31-<46 years (P for overall trend <0.05, P for nonlinearity was 0.71 and 0.27, respectively). However, no association was found between weekly work hours and occupational stress risk among teachers aged ≥46 years (P for overall trend =0.08, P for nonlinearity was 0.09). Conclusion There is a linear dose-response relationship between weekly work hours and occupational stress among primary and secondary school teachers in the province, with younger teachers being more susceptible to suffer occupational stress due to long working hours.

Lipids play an important role in the regulation of cell life processes.Although there are various lipid detection methods,Raman spectroscopy,a non-invasive technique,provides the detailed chemical composition of lipid profiles without a complex sample preparation procedure and possesses greater potential in basic biology,clinical diagnosis and disease therapy.In this review,we summarized the characteristics and advantages of Raman-based techniques and their primary contribution to illustrating cellular lipid metabolism.

Accurate characterization of the chemical composition of complex traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an essential foundation for the modern scientific interpretation of TCM principles. Mass spectrometry is the most dominant technique in current research on the material basis of TCM, offering the highest sensitivity and the richest information provision. Establishing mass spectrometry databases represents the most effective approach to facilitating the structural analysis of TCM chemical components. This paper systematically searches and reviews literature published from January 2005 to January 2025 through online databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, PubMed, and Web of Science, using “mass spectrometry database” and “traditional Chinese medicine” as keywords. It reviews the current status of seven TCM chemical component mass spectrometry databases and seven natural product mass spectrometry databases. The key advancements of these mass spectrometry databases for natural products are summarized, detailing their characteristics, search methodologies, included information, and data sources. Additionally, challenges related to data quality, standardization, timely updates, database interaction, retrieval functionality, and data sharing and security are discussed in depth. Furthermore, the paper explores prospective development directions for TCM mass spectrometry databases, emphasizing the importance of open data sharing, technological innovation, and data security. Through this analysis, the paper aims to offer theoretical guidance and practical recommendations for the precise identification of TCM components, as well as for the construction and application of these databases.

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.

Background and purpose:Human papilloma virus(HPV)infection status is crucial for diagnosing cervical precancerous lesions and classifying cervical cancer.High-risk(HR)HPV is often linked to P16 protein overexpression,so P16 detection via immunohistochemistry(IHC)is commonly used to assess HPV infection.However,the differences between HPV status and P16 expression remains unclear.An in-depth study of the correlation between HPV and P16 is essential for clinical guidance.Methods:We retrospectively collected clinical and pathological data of cervical lesions from 618 patients diagnosed at the Department of Pathology,Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from January 2020 to December 2023(Ethical number:050432-4-2307E).Polymerase chain reaction(PCR)reverse dot hybridization was used to detect HPV including HR and low-risk(LR)subtypes,and immunohistochemistry was used to detect P16 for comparative analysis.Based on different clinical and pathological diagnoses,the sensitivity and specificity of P16 expression in evaluating HPV infection were evaluated.Among the 618 cases of cervical lesions,there were 92 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma,257 cases of cervical adenocarcinoma,79 cases of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(HSIL),105 cases of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(LSIL),and 85 cases of chronic cervical inflammation.Results:According to clinical diagnosis,the HR-HPV positive rate in cervical squamous cell carcinoma was 88.0%(81/92),the P16 positive rate was 91.3%(84/92),and the overall consistency rate between P16 and HPV detection was 90.2%(88/92);for HR-HPV infection,the sensitivity and specificity of P16 were 96.3%and 45.5%.The positive rate of HR-HPV in adenocarcinoma was 54.5%(140/257),the positive rate of P16 was 58.8%(151/257),and the overall consistency rate between P16 and HPV detection was 82.5%(212/257);for HR-HPV infection,the sensitivity and specificity of P16 were 87.9%and 76.1%.In HSIL,the HR-HPV positive rate was 75.9%(60/79),the positive rate of P16 was 70.9%(56/79),and the overall consistency rate between P16 and HR-HPV detection was 82.2%(65/79);for HR-HPV infection,the sensitivity and specificity of P16 were 85.0%and 73.7%.In LSIL,the HR-HPV positive rate was 73.3%(77/105),the positive rate of P16 was 8.5%(9/105),and the overall consistency rate between P16 and HR-HPV detection was 33.3%(35/105);for HR-HPV infection,the sensitivity and specificity of P16 were 10.4%and 96.4%.In chronic cervical inflammation,the HR-HPV positive rate was 20%(17/85),the positive rate of P16 was 0.0%(0/85);for HR-HPV infection,the sensitivity and specificity of P16 were 0.0%and 100.0%.There was a significant positive correlation between P16 positivity and HPV16/18 in cervical squamous cell carcinoma,adenocarcinoma,and HSIL(P=0.000),while there was no significant correlation in LSIL and chronic cervical inflammation(P＞0.05).Conclusion:In cervical squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma,the consistency of P16 expression and HPV DNA positivity are high,especially in HPV16/18 subtype.There is a good concordance between HR-HPV positivity and P16 protein overexpression.The positive expression of P16 in HSIL may initially reflect HPV infection status.However,in LSIL and chronic cervicitis,P16 expression may not accurately correlate with HPV infection.The inconsistency between P16 and HPV DNA testing could be influenced by multiple factors,including HPV subtypes,histopathological categories,specimen quality,and technical limitations.In clinical practice,it is recommended to conduct comprehensive analysis or employ multiple diagnostic methods to confirm HPV infection status for precise evaluation.

Acute ischemic stroke(AIS)is associated with high mortality and disability rates,presenting a substantial challenge to global public health challenge.Intravenous thrombolysis(IVT)is recognized as a cornerstone of early AIS treatment and is recommended as the standard therapeutic approach by both national and international guidelines.However,the clinical efficacy of IVT remains suboptimal due to several limitations,including a narrow therapeutic time window and the inevitable activation of the coagulation system and platelet aggregagation during thrombolysis.These factors may contribute to adverse outcomes such as early neurological deterioration(END)and vascular re-occlusion.Antiplatelet therapy(APT),which inhibits platelet aggregations,reduces microthrombus formation,and stabilizes the vascular endothelium with multifaceted mechanisms,has emerged as a promising adjunctive strategy to IVT,offering potential synergistic effects.This review summarized the latest evidence from both domestic and international studies,focusing on the mechanisms of APT,recent clinical advancements in IVT combined with APT,and the safety and efficacy of APT administration at different time windows relative to IVT.Emphasis is placed on the influence of various antiplatelet agents,dosing regimens,and initiation timing on therapeutic outcomes,alongside a comprehensive evaluation in the context of current guideline recommendations and clinical practice.Current guidelines recommend initiating APT 24 h after IVT,following imaging confirmation to exclude the risk of intracranial hemorrhage.However,the efficacy and safety of earlier APT initiation remain inconclusive.Individualized treatment strategies,such as early administration of low-dose,short-acting APT or combination therapy in specific patient subgroups,may effectively balance therapeutic benefits and risks.The adjunctive use of APT in IVT holds promise for enhancing efficacy and improving clinical outcomes,but precise stratification of safety and efficacy is essential.Future research should focus on optimizing combination IVT and APT strategies through individualized patient profiling,appropriate drug selection,and dynamic imaging monitoring to achieve precision management in AIS treatment.
