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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome patterns among postmenopausal women with dyslipidemia, and to examine the correlations of lipid parameters with bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism markers across common TCM syndrome patterns, thereby providing a clinical reference for individualized integrative traditional Chinese and western medicine interventions stratified according to TCM syndrome patterns. MethodsA multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted among postmenopausal women aged 45-64 years with dyslipidemia. TCM syndromes were determined using a scale-based scoring method. BMD measurements were collected, and fasting venous blood samples were assayed for lipid parameters including total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and bone metabolism biomarkers including osteocalcin (OST), total procollagen type Ⅰ N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), β-isomerized C-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen (β-CTX), 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Chi-square tests were used to compare the distribution of dyslipidemia across different TCM syndromes. Spearman's rank correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the correlations between TCM syndrome patterns and dyslipidemia, as well as the correlations of lipid parameters with BMD and bone metabolism markers within each syndrome pattern. ResultsA total of 506 postmenopausal women with dyslipidemia were included, comprising 172 cases of spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome (33.99%), 163 cases of phlegm-turbidity obstruction syndrome (32.21%), 118 cases of liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome (23.32%), 33 cases of qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome (6.52%), and 20 cases of yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity syndrome (3.95%). Phlegm-turbidity obstruction syndrome was negatively correlated with TC abnormality (r=-0.120, P=0.007) and positively correlated with TG abnormality (r=0.246, P<0.001). Spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome and liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome were both negatively correlated with TG abnormality (r=-0.101, P=0.023; r=-0.116, P=0.009, respectively). Further correlation analysis confirmed that phlegm-turbidity obstruction syndrome was negatively correlated with TC abnormality (r=-0.120) and significantly positively correlated with TG abnormality (r=0.246). Both the spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome and liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome were negatively correlated with TG abnormality (r=-0.101 and r=-0.116, respectively). In patients with phlegm-turbidity obstruction syndrome, HDL-C was negatively correlated with BMD at the left femoral neck (r=-0.178, P=0.023) and at left total hip (r=-0.190, P=0.015). In patients with liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome, TG was positively correlated with BMD at the lumbar spine (L1-L4) and left total hip (r=0.214, P=0.020; r=0.221, P=0.016, respectively). More significant correlations were observed in patients with spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome, TG was positively correlated with ALP (r=0.210, P=0.006); TC was positively correlated with TSH and 25(OH)D (r=0.153, P=0.045; r= 0.231, P=0.002, respectively); HDL-C was positively correlated with OST and 25(OH)D (r=0.156, P=0.040; r=0.228, P=0.003, respectively); and LDL-C was positively correlated with TSH and 25(OH)D (r=0.156, P= 0.041; r=0.182, P=0.017, respectively). In patients with liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome, HDL-C was negatively correlated with TSH (r=-0.204, P=0.027). ConclusionThe association between dyslipidemia and skeletal health in postmenopausal women varies across TCM syndromes. Lipid abnormalities in women with phlegm-turbidity obstruction syndrome or liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome are accompanied primarily by site-specific alterations in BMD, whereas those in women with spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome are reflected mainly in changes in bone metabolism markers. These findings suggest that targeted intervention strategies should be developed according to TCM syndrome characteristics for postmenopausal women with dyslipidemia.

Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of thoracoscopy-guided thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) in thoracoscopic pulmonary resection, and to provide strategies for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in thoracoscopic lung resection. Methods Patients who underwent thoracoscopic pulmonary resection (including sublobar resection and lobectomy) in the 987th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of People's Liberation Army, General Hospital of Central Theater Command of the People’s Liberation Army, and the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University between May 2021 and June 2023 were prospectively enrolled. The patients were randomly allocated into three groups in a single-blind manner using a random number table. Group A (incisional nerve block group) received a subcutaneous injection of ropivacaine (0.375%, 2 mg/kg) around the incision during chest closure. Group B (ultrasound-guided TPVB group) received an ultrasound-guided injection of ropivacaine (0.375%, 2 mg/kg) at the paravertebral space after chest closure. Group C (thoracoscopy-guided TPVB group) received a thoracoscopy-guided intrathoracic injection of ropivacaine (0.375%, 2 mg/kg) at the paravertebral space during chest closure. Perioperative adverse drug reactions, pain scores, postoperative analgesic consumption, and postoperative length of hospital stay were compared among the three groups. Results A total of 180 patients were included, comprising 108 females and 72 males, with a mean age of (62.15±7.36) years. There were no statistical differences among the three groups in baseline characteristics, including age, weight, gender, prevalence of comorbidities, operative time, number of surgical incisions, number of chest tubes, or intraoperative dosages of sufentanil and propofol (P>0.05). No adverse anesthesia events occurred during surgery in any of the groups. The pressing frequency of the patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) pump, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain scores, the rate of postoperative rescue analgesic use, and the incidences of postoperative cough and dizziness in the group C were significantly lower than those in the other two groups (P<0.05). The postoperative length of hospital stay in the group B and group C was significantly shorter than that in the group A (P<0.05). Conclusion Thoracoscopy-guided TPVB during chest closure can effectively alleviate postoperative pain without increasing postoperative side effects, which facilitates the enhanced recovery after thoracoscopic lung surgery.

Uveal melanoma(UM)is a rare but highly aggressive intraocular malignancy. Although it accounts for less than 5% of all melanoma cases, UM is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. In recent years, advances in molecular targeted therapies and immunomodulatory strategies have provided new opportunities for the clinical management of UM. This review summarizes the pathogenesis, molecular biomarkers, and major therapeutic advances in UM, with particular emphasis on analyzing the research achievements and clinical application prospects of signaling pathway-targeted inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and combination treatment strategies. The potential value of individualized treatment and the limitations of current therapeutic approaches are also discussed. Current evidence suggest that multidisciplinary intervention and precision molecular diagnosis and treatment may significantly improve the prognosis of patients with UM, providing references for future clinical research and the optimization of therapeutic strategies.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between socio ecological risk factors (SERF), physical activity (PA) developmental trajectories, and depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students in Tianjin, in order to provide theoretical support for comprehensive interventions for adolescent depression.
Methods:
A longitudinal follow up design was adopted. In September 2022, a baseline survey was conducted using a stratified cluster random sampling method in two junior high schools and two senior high schools in Tianjin, collecting data on students basic information, SERF, PA, and depressive symptoms. Two follow up surveys were conducted in September 2023 and 2024, yielding 588 valid participants. Latent class growth analysis (LCGA) was used to identify PA developmental trajectory categories among junior and senior high school students. Logistic regression was applied to examine the associations between depressive symptoms and SERF as well as PA trajectories.
Results:
The detection rates of depressive symptoms among Tianjin junior and senior high school students over the three years were 26.53%, 20.24%, and 21.26 %, respectively. Depressive symptoms were positively correlated with SERF ( OR=1.04, 95%CI=1.03-1.05, P <0.05). The highest risks were observed in the individual dimension and family dimension ( OR =1.28, 1.21, both P <0.05). LCGA identified three PA trajectory groups:persistently low level (80.65%), persistently high level (4.58%), and slowly increasing group ( 14.77 %). Multivariate regression analysis showed that compared with the persistently low level PA, the slowly increasing PA significantly reduced the risk of depressive symptoms ( OR=0.44, 95%CI =0.20-0.88), while SERF still increased the risk of depressive symptoms ( OR=1.04, 95%CI =1.03-1.05) (both P <0.05).
Conclusion
SERF are risk factors for depression symptoms among junior and senior high school students, whereas slowly increasing PA development trajectory demonstrates a protective effect.

Objective:
Accurate evaluation of inflammation severity in ulcerative colitis (UC) can guide treatment strategy selection. The potential value of the pericolic fat attenuation index (FAI) on CT as an indicator of disease severity remains unknown.This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of pericolic FAI in predicting UC severity.
Materials and Methods:
This retrospective study enrolled 148 patients (mean age 48 years; 87 males). The fat attenuation on CT was measured in four different locations: the mesocolic vascular side (MS) and opposite side of MS (OMS) around the most severe bowel lesion, the retroperitoneal space (RS), and the subcutaneous area. The fat attenuation indices (FAI MS, FAI OMS, and FAI RS) were calculated as the fat attenuation measured in MS, OMS, and RS, respectively, minus that of the subcutaneous area, and were obtained in the non-enhanced, arterial, and delayed phases. Correlations between the FAI and UC Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS) were assessed using Spearman’s correlation. Predictors of severe UC (UCEIS ≥7) were selected by univariable analysis. The performance of FAI in predicting severe UC was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).
Results:
The FAIMS and FAI OMS scores were significantly higher than FAI RS in three phases (all P < 0.001). The FAIMS and FAI OMS scores moderately correlated with the UCEIS score (r = 0.474–0.649 among the three phases). Additionally, FAI MS and FAI OMS identified severe UC, with AUC varying from 0.77 to 0.85.
Conclusion
Increased CT attenuation of pericolic adipose tissue could serve as a noninvasive marker for evaluating UC severity. FAI MS and FAI OMS of three phases showed similar prediction accuracies for severe UC identification.

Huangqintang, with its accurate efficacy, is a classic formula specialized in treating dysentery recommended and promoted by medical experts from successive generations, and it was included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Prescriptions (the Second Batch, Han Chinese medicine prescriptions) published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinses Medicine (TCM) in 2023. The method of bibliometrics was applied in this study to conduct textual research on the classic formula Huangqintang and provide a literature reference for the development of modern preparations of Huangqintang. A total of 2 026 pieces of ancient literature were searched with "Huangqintang" as the key word, and 23 pieces of effective data were selected, involving 15 ancient TCM books. The historic evolution, composition, dosage, origin, processing methods, preparation and decocting methods, efficiency, and application of Huangqintang were carefully reviewed. The results showed that Huangqintang was first recorded in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases written by ZHANG Zhongjing. It has the effect of clearing heat, stopping dysentery, regulating the middle, and downbearing counterflow and has become one of the classic formulas widely used in clinical practice. Because of its accurate efficacy, medical experts from later generations have modified it from its original composition. Though many prescriptions have different names, it is the manifestation of physicians' inheritance and development of the thought of ZHANG Zhongjing. Ancient literature showed this prescription had wide indications yet centered on digestive system diseases such as dysentery and abdominal pain. Modern applications of Huangqintang involve digestive, respiratory, ophthalmology and otolaryngology, gynecological, skin, musculoskeletal system, and connective tissue, and this prescription has great potential in treating ulcerative colitis, diarrhea, acute enteritis, and damp-heat dysentery. Through a systematic textual excavation and review of the ancient literature about Huangqintang, the paper has confirmed its key information, so as to provide a scientific basis for the clinical application and new drug development of classic formulas.
