OBJECTIVE To explore the characteristics and influential factors of pharmaceutical clinic service demands, providing evidence for optimizing pharmaceutical service models and facilitating pharmaceutical service models of pharmacist role transformation. METHODS A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, and 410 outpatient participants were selected from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center through convenience sampling for questionnaire administration from February to May 2025. Kano model was applied to analyze the demand attributes of 25 pharmaceutical services, while questionnaires were used to assess patients’ awareness and demand status. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on key demographic variables such as gender, age, educational attainment, and economic burdens, to SACA- systematically examine the differences in Kano attribute classification among patients in each subgroup. RESULTS The awareness rate of pharmaceutical outpatient services among patients was only 14.63%, yet those who were aware demonstrated a significantly higher demand rate for such services compared to those who were unaware (P<0.001). The demand for pharmaceutical clinic services exhibited a hierarchical characteristic: twelve items were identified as attractive attributes (e. g., providing suggestions for more affordable treatment options, offering online consultation services, etc.), five items as expected attributes (e.g., having a good attitude and being able to patiently answer your questions, etc.), three items as must-have attributes (e.g., providing guidance on medication dosage and usage, providing guidance on medication precautions, etc.), five items as indifferent attributes (e.g., providing treatment plan recommendations based on the patient’s condition). There were zero items classified as reverse attribute. Subgroup analysis revealed that female patients showed greater concern for “neat and clean attire of medical staff” than male patients (P<0.001); patients under 60 years of age demonstrated stronger demand for “providing treatment plan recommendations based on patients’ conditions” compared to patients aged 60 or above (P=0.016); those with below high school education placed greater emphasis on “providing guidance on medication precautions” compared to those with a high school education or above (P=0.011); patients with lower economic burdens exhibited stronger preferences for “neat and clean attire of medical staff ” (P=0.002). CONCLUSIONS The public awareness rate of pharmaceutical clinic services is considerably low; however, those who are aware of such services demonstrate significantly higher demand. The medication safety-related services and convenience-oriented demands should be prioritized in the development of pharmaceutical clinics. Moreover, the study also revealed that factors such as gender, age, educational level, and economic burdens exert significant influences on patients’ service demands.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To conjecture the correlation between fetal hydrothorax(FHT)and pregnancy outcome through the analysis of 95 fetuses with hydrothorax and their mothers.Methods:In this case series study, 95 FHT patients admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the pregnancy outcome, these patients were divided into the induced labor group (13 patients) and the delivery group (82 patients). General data and genetic examinations of patients in the induced labor group were analyzed to explore their pathogenesis and genetics.According to the neonatal Apgar score, patients in the delivery group were divided into the normal group and the asphyxia group.Fifteen indicators including the maternal age, gestational week at first diagnosis, maternal complications, FHT location, FHT severity, FHT outcome during pregnancy, fetal ascites, hydrops fetalis, other abnormal fetal structures, amniotic fluid volume, intrauterine treatment, gestational week of delivery, mode of delivery, sex of the newborn, and newborn birth weight in the 2 groups were comparatively analyzed by the chi-square test.With the neonatal Apgar score as the dependent variable, variables that had statistical significance during the univariate analysis were included in the regression analysis, and a multivariate binary Logistic regression equation was established to explore the factors affecting the pregnancy outcome.Results:There were significant differences in the FHT outcome during pregnancy (16/22/13 cases vs.2/18/11 cases, χ2=6.994, P=0.030), FHT severity (27/24 cases vs.9/22 cases, χ2=4.475, P=0.034), hydrops fetalis (14/37 cases vs.23/8 cases, χ2=17.012, P=0.001), amniotic fluid volume (21/30 cases vs.24/7 cases, χ2=10.228, P=0.001), intrauterine treatment (19/32 cases vs.2/29 cases, χ2=9.603, P=0.002), gestational week of delivery[(38.15±2.05) weeks vs.(34.83±3.14) weeks, t=5.748, P=0.001], and newborn birth weight[(3 325.00±637.41) g vs.(2 714.58±837.99) g, t=3.727, P=0.001]between the normal and asphyxia groups(all P<0.05). Among them, hydrops fetalis ( OR=7.070, P=0.020) and severe FHT ( OR=6.927, P=0.043) were risk factors for neonatal Apgar scores.Intrauterine treatment ( OR=0.062, P=0.027) and gestational week of delivery( OR=0.577, P=0.022) could be used as a protective factor for neonatal Apgar scores. Conclusions:Diagnosis of FHT during the early gestational weeks and multiple fetal structural abnormalities, especially hydrops fetalis, have higher probabilities of abnormal genetic examinations, and the fetal prognosis was poor.It is recommended to carry out chromosomal karyo type and microarray tests, as well as whole exome sequencing and detection of genetic syndromes(if necessary), to avoid unnecessary fetal treatment and improve the survival rate of perinatal infants after intrauterine treatment.The poor prognosis is related to hydrops fetalis and severe FHT; however, timely intrauterine treatment and prolonging pregnancy can improve the pregnancy outcome and increase the survival rate of perinatal infants.

Objective:To investigate the effect and possible mechanism of the X-ray radiation-induced abscopal effects (X-RIAEs) on the ovarian reserve of mice.Methods:Totally sixteen female C57BL/6J mice aged 6-8 weeks with regular estrous cycle were randomly divided into the sham group ( n=8) and irradiation group ( n=8). After anesthesia, the mice in the irradiation group were irradiated with 8 Gy X-ray on the local area of the chest every day for 3 d, while the mice in the sham group were not irradiated. After irradiation 21 d, the estrous cycle, serum hormones, serum pro-inflammatory factors, and ovarian morphological changes were detected. Ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to detect the expression of transcriptional levels in mouse ovarian tissues. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened and analyzed by gene ontology-biological process (GO_BP). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) verified the sequencing results. The expression and localization of spermatogenesis- and oogenesis-specific basic helix-loop-helix-containing protein 1 (SOHLH1) and neutrophil elastase (NE) in ovarian tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Results:Compared with mice in the sham group, the irradiation group had a disordered estrous cycle, reduced primordial follicles[10.50 (1.25, 12.75) vs. 60.00 (30.00, 90.25), P<0.001] and growing follicles [(4.50 (2.50, 9.00) vs. 18.50 (18.00, 20.75), P<0.001], significantly increased atretic follicles [56.00 (45.25, 98.75) vs. 12.50 (5.25, 20.25), P<0.001]. The levels of serum estradiol [(70.28±5.27) pmol/L] and anti-Müllerian hormone [(104.00±6.98) μg/L] in the irradiation group were significantly lower than those in the sham group [(97.58±7.25) pmol/L, P=0.016; (129.70±8.39) μg/L, P=0.046], but the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the irradiation group was not significantly different from that in the sham group ( P>0.05). Compared with the sham group, the serum levels of TNF-α [(488.30±36.20) μg/L vs. (31.61±12.89) μg/L, P<0.001] and IL-1β [(62.37±2.50) μg/L vs. (52.75±2.06) μg/L, P=0.018] in the irradiation group were significantly increased, and the serum level of interleukin (IL)-6 in the irradiation group was also increased compared with the sham group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The results of GO_BP analysis showed that the down-regulated DGEs were mainly involved in the process of follicular development, and the up-regulated DGEs were involved in the inflammation process. The results of RT-qPCR were consistent with those of sequencing. The immunohistochemistry results showed that the positive expression area of SOHLH1 in the irradiation group [(23.18±4.00)%] was significantly lower than that of the sham group [(65.90±6.28)%, P=0.005], while the positive expression area of NE [(30.73±4.00)%] was significantly higher than that of the sham group [(14.47±2.22)%, P=0.024]. Conclusion:X-RIAEs can induce an inflammatory reaction in ovarian tissue and inhibit the growth and development of ovarian follicles in mice, which leads to a decrease in ovarian reserve.

Acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) refers to ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion of internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery and vertebrobasilar artery, which has the characteristics of large infarct, relatively poor outcome, higher disability and mortality. Therefore, early vascular recanalization and rescue of ischemic penumbra are the key to improve the outcome of patients with AIS-LVO. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has a definite effect on AIS-LVO. The current guidelines recommend that MT should be performed on the basis of IVT for AIS-LVO patients without contraindications of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), the so-called bridging therapy. IVT can increase the risk of bleeding to a certain extent, delay MT and increase the cost of hospitalization. However, there are still many controversies about whether the patients with AIS-LVO can directly perform MT. This article reviews the comparative study of direct MT and bridging therapy in patients with anterior circulation AIS-LVO, hoping to provide reference for clinicians in the treatment of AIS-LVO.

Objective To explore the effects of transitional care on growth and development among late preterm infants.Methods From January 2015 to December 2016, we selected 100 late preterm infants in Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital. All of them were divided into observation group and control group with the random number table, 50 cases in each group. On discharge from hospital, control group adopted routine health guidance and telephone follow-up. Observation group carried out transitional care. And then, we compared the growth and development of infants between two groups after discharge from hospital.Results Physical growth such as weight, height and head circumference of preterm infants in observation group was higher than those in control group in the first, third and sixth month after birth (P<0.05). In the sixth month, the standard-reaching rate of physique of observation group and control group was 57.14% and 31.91% respectively with a significant difference (χ2=6.174,P<0.05). In the sixth month, there were two cases with readmission to hospital in observation group and 9 in control group with a significant difference (χ2=5.368,P<0.05). The parents' satisfaction of preterm infants of observation group was 87.75% significantly higher than that of control group (χ2=20.030, P<0.001).Conclusions The model of transitional care can promote growth and development of late preterm infants, reduce the morbidity rate and readmission rate of late preterm infants, and improve parents' satisfaction.
