OBJECTIVE To know about the perception and current status of drug risk management among pharmacists in Chinese medical institutions, providing insights and recommendations for enhancing the drug risk management system in medical institutions. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted across 28 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions; stratified radom sampling was employed to study the population of medical workers and pharmaceutical professionals in medical institutions nationwide. The survey included information on the survey population, the current status of drug risk management implementation in medical institutions, the cognition, definition and process of drug risk management related concepts, and the content and mode of drug risk management work in medical institutions. Finally, suggestions were collected from various medical institutions on the system construction of drug risk management. Descriptive statistical analysis was adopted to summarize the obtained data. RESULTS A total of 446 questionnaires were collected in this survey, including 420 valid questionnaires and 26 invalid questionnaires. The questionnaire collection rate was 100%,and the effective rate was 94.17%. 51.19% of the respondents No.2020YFC2009001)。 based their understanding of drug risk management on Management Measures for Adverse Drug Reaction Reports and Monitoring, while 87.38% recognized the need for drug risk management throughout the drug use process. 63.33% of the participants stated that their medical institutions had dedicated positions related to drug risk management, with the highest proportion (72.17%) was in third-grade class A medical institutions. 66.43% reported implementing risk management across all drug use stages. Suggestions for the development of drug risk management systems in medical institutions by the research participants focused on enhancing guiding documents, clarifying concepts, establishing information-sharing mechanisms. CONCLUSIONS The overall awareness of drug risk management in China’s medical institutions is high, with practices in place across various stages in multiple forms. However, there remains a need to strengthen institutional documents, management regulations, system development, and information-sharing mechanisms to improve collaborative governance, improve drug management levels, and ensure patient safety.

ObjectiveTo study the characteristics of the five tones of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients based on the theory of "five-viscera phonology", and provide references for the syndrome differentiation and treatment of PD. MethodsA total of 272 cases of PD patients were collected as the PD group, and 240 individuals, including patient family members and hospital staff, were recruited as the control group. The 25-tone analyzer was used to collect the five-tone characteristics of both PD patients and control group participants. The participants were then stratified into three age groups, 41~55, 56~70, and 71~85 years old, and categorized by gender (male and female) for analysis. The frequency and composition ratio of the five tones were analyzed for both groups across the different age ranges and genders. Additionally, the average voice frequency of each participant was calculated to compare differences between groups, stratified by age range and gender. ResultsIn the 41~55 and 56~70 age groups, male participants in the PD group and the control group exhibited the highest frequency of Yu (羽) tone, with the PD group showing a significantly higher composition ratio of Yu tone compared to the control group (P<0.05); for males in the 56~70 age group, the composition ratios of Shang (商) and Zhi (徵) tone in the PD group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). For males in the 71~85 age group, both the PD group and the control group had the highest frequency of Yu tone, but there was no statistically significant difference in the composition ratios of the five tones between groups (P>0.05). For female participants in the PD group across all age groups, Yu tone was the most frequent, whereas for the control group, Jue (角) tone was the most frequent in all age groups, and the composition ratio of Yu tone in the PD group was significantly higher than that in the control group across all age groups (P<0.05); in the 56~70 age group, the composition ratio of Jue tone was lower in the PD group compared to that in the control group (P<0.05). Regarding voice frequency, males in the PD group aged 41~55 and 56~70 had higher voice frequency than those in the control group of the same age range, and similarly, females in the PD group aged 56~70 and 71~85 had higher voice frequency than their counterparts in the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionPD patients have a voice with a higher frequency and an increased proportion of Yu tone in their five-tone distribution. According to the theory of five-viscera phonology, PD patients may have disease mechanism of kidney essence deficiency.

ObjectiveTo investigate the non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors in adolescents with depressive disorder, analyze related influencing factors, and provide theoretical basis and reference for the prevention and treatment of NSSI. MethodsAccording to DSM-5 criteria, 95 depressive adolescents were divided into two groups: one with NSSI (NSSI group) and one without NSSI (nNSSI group). All patients were assessed with Adolescent Non-suicidal Self-injury Assessment Questionnaire (ANSAQ), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), Experiences in Close Relationships-Relationship Structures Scale (ECR-RS), and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF). The inter-group differences were compared. The influencing factors of NSSI were analyzed by using binary logistic regression. ResultsOf the 95 depressive adolescents, 59 cases of NSSI were identified, with a detection rate of 62.11%. NSSI group had higher scores than nNSSI group on SDS, SAS, negative coping style, paternal attachment anxiety, maternal attachment anxiety and avoidance, CTQ-SF total score, emotional neglect, physical neglect, emotional abuse, and sexual abuse (all P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that anxiety, negative coping style, maternal attachment avoidance and emotional abuse increased the risk of NSSI among adolescents with depressive disorders (all P< 0.05). ConclusionsAdolescents with depression have a high incidence of NSSI behaviors, which is related to anxiety, negative coping style, maternal attachment avoidance and emotional abuse. In addition to improving patients' depression and anxiety in clinical setting, attention should also be paid to patients' coping styles, parent-child relationship and childhood trauma to reduce the occurrence of NSSI behaviors.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of coronary artery lesion severity in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods Clinical data of ACS patients admitted to Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from December 2017 to December 2019 were consecutively collected. The modified Gensini score was used to assess the severity of coronary artery lesions. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to identify independent factors associated with coronary artery lesion severity. Results A total of 1 689 ACS patients were included, with an average age of (64.04±11.45) years; 1 353 (80.11%) were male, and the mean modified Gensini score was (8.12±4.03). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that sex (β=0.97, P=0.001), age (β=0.03, P=0.021), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; β=-0.03, P<0.001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; β=0.58, P<0.001), apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1; β=-1.28, P=0.012), lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a); β=0.001, P=0.033], and glycated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C; β=0.45, P<0.001) were independent influencing factors of the modified Gensini score. Conclusions Metabolic indicators, including Apo A1, LDL-C, HbA1C, and Lp(a), may serve as risk factors for coronary artery lesion severity in ACS patients, with Apo A1 demonstrating the strongest impact.

OBJECTIVES:
In the early stage of central cervical disc herniation, clinical symptoms may be mild. However, as the spinal cord becomes compressed by herniated nucleus pulposus tissue, progressive edema and degeneration may occur, resulting in more severe clinical manifestations, including limb weakness, bladder and bowel dysfunction, spastic paraplegia of the lower extremities, and even respiratory difficulty. The spinal endoscopic Key-hole technique is widely applied in treating radiculopathic cervical spondylosis and has demonstrated good clinical outcomes. This study aims to analyze and summarize the technical points and therapeutic efficacy of the far lateral Key-hole technique in the treatment of central cervical disc herniation, providing reference for clinical application.
METHODS:
Eight patients with central cervical disc herniation treated with the far lateral Key-hole technique were included as the experimental group. Another 8 patients who underwent single-level anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) during the same period were selected as the control group. Data collected included gender, age, intraoperative blood loss, incision length, and length of hospitalization. Pain severity was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); cervical function was assessed using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score; and cervical disability was measured by the neck disability index (NDI). Radiological outcomes were assessed using disc height index (DHI), cervical Cobb angle, and operative segment Cobb angle.
RESULTS:
Compared with the control group, the experimental group had significantly less intraoperative blood loss, shorter incision length, and shorter hospital stay (all P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in operation time (P>0.05). Postoperative VAS and NDI scores in both groups were significantly lower than preoperative values, and JOA scores significantly improved (P<0.05). No significant differences were noted between the two groups preoperatively (P>0.05). Postoperatively, the experimental group showed significantly lower VAS and NDI scores and higher JOA scores than the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in DHI before and after surgery in the experimental group (P>0.05), while the DHI increased significantly postoperatively in the control group (P<0.05). Postoperative DHI in the experimental group was significantly lower than in the control group (P<0.05). No significant differences were observed in the cervical Cobb angle either within or between groups (all P>0.05). The operative segment Cobb angle increased significantly after surgery in the control group (P<0.05), while no other operative segment angle changes were statistically significant (all P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
The far lateral Key-hole technique offers advantages in treating central cervical disc herniation, including reduced intraoperative bleeding, smaller incision length, shorter hospitalization, and improved postoperative pain relief. Additionally, the technique does not affect cervical physiological curvature or stability in the short term, making it suitable for clinical application.

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerular disease worldwide, accounting for 20%-40% of primary glomerulonephritis cases. Approximately 40% of patients progress to end-stage renal disease within 20 years. Traditional treatments primarily involve renin-angiotensin system inhibitors and glucocorticoids, but some patients show limited response and face infection risks. In recent years, the dual-target biologic agent Telitacicept, which targets B cell-activating factor/B lymphocyte stimulator(BAFF/BLyS) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), has demonstrated significant potentialin the treatment of IgAN. By simultaneously neutralizing BAFF/BLyS and APRIL, Telitacicept suppresses abnormal B-cell activation and the production of pathogenic IgA1, significantly reducing urinary protein levels and preserving renal function. This article systematically reviews its mechanism of action, clinical efficacy, and safety, aiming to provide insights for the clinical management of IgAN.

OBJECTIVE To explore the impact of Shaoyao decoction on the intestinal microecology of rats with damp-heat diarrhea. METHODS Male SD rats were randomly divided into physiological group, model group, and Shaoyao decoction low-, medium- and high-dose groups (single dose of 5.62, 28.10 and 56.20 g/kg, by raw drugs), with 7 rats in each group. Except for the physiological group, the remaining groups were all fed with high-sugar and high-fat diet, raised in a high-temperature and high- humidity environment, and administered white liquor and Escherichia coli suspension by gavage to establish a rat model of damp- heat diarrhea. On the second day after modeling, rats in each dosage group of Shaoyao decoction were administered the corresponding solution by gavage, once in the morning and once in the evening, for 3 consecutive days. After the last administration, fecal metagenomic sequencing analysis and biological information analysis were performed to detect the activities of intestinal cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and intestinal flora metabolic enzymes. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the α diversity indexes of intestinal flora among the groups (P>0.05). The main phyla of rats in each group included Firmicutes, Actinobacteriota and Verrucomicrobiota, and the core dominant genera included Dubosiella, Lactobacillus and Romboutsia; low- , medium- and high-dose of Shaoyao decoction could reverse the decrease in the relative abundance of Firmicutes, Romboutsia, Bifidobacterium and Monoglobus, as well as the increase in the relative abundance of Proteobacteria, Verrucomicrobiota, Escherichia-Shigella and Corynebacterium (P<0.05). Rats in each dosage group of Shaoyao decoction showed higher relative abundance of intestinal flora involved in carbon metabolism and cofactor biosynthesis pathways. Compared with the model group, the elimination rates of aminophenol and midazolam, as well as the concentration (except for the low-dose group) and metabolic rate of p-nitrophenol in rats of each dose group of Shaoyao decoction were significantly increased (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Shaoyao decoction can correct intestinal flora disorder in rats with damp-heat diarrhea, promote the recovery of intestinal CYP metabolic enzymes and intestinal flora metabolic enzymes, and thereby comprehensively improve intestinal microecology.

AIM: To compare the efficacy of intravitreal injection of ranibizumab(IVR)and intravitreal injection of conbercept(IVC)in children with retinopathy of prematurity(ROP).METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 1 100 eyes with ROP treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF at our hospital from January 2015 to June 2023 were included. According to the different therapeutic drugs, the children were divided into two groups: IVR group and IVC group. According to the degree of ROP, the patients were divided into three groups: aggressive ROP(A-ROP), Zone Ⅰ type 1 ROP and Zone Ⅱ type 1 ROP. The reactivation and retreatment between the two groups were compared after propensity score matching(PSM)analysis, and they were followed-up for at least 3 mo after surgery.RESULTS: In Zone Ⅱ type 1 ROP, there was a statistically significant difference in the rates of reactivation and retreatment between the IVR and IVC groups(P<0.05); however, in A-ROP and Zone I type 1 ROP, there were no statistically significant differences in the rates of reactivation and retreatment between the two groups(P>0.05). The risk of reactivation and retreatment of Zone I type 1 ROP was higher than the Zone II type 1 ROP. Furthermore, the use of drugs and corrected gestational age of first treatment were influencing factors of lesion recurrence and retreatment.CONCLUSION: There is a significant difference in the initial cure effect between the two drugs in Zone II type 1 ROP, with the reactivation and retreatment rates of the IVC group being much lower than those of the IVR group.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of modified Tianwang Buxindan (MTBD) on the skin of sleep-deprived (SD) mice and investigate its mechanism. MethodSixty 2-month-old female Kunming mice were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, a vitamin C (VC, 0.08 g·kg-1), and MTBD low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (6.5, 12.5, 25 g·kg-1). Except for the blank group, the other groups were subjected to SD mouse model induction (using multiple platform water environment method for 18 hours of sleep deprivation daily from 15:00 to next day 9:00), continuously for 14 days, and caffeine (CAF, 7.5 mg·kg-1) was injected intraperitoneally from the 2nd week onwards, continuously for 7 days. While modeling, the blank group and the model group were administered with normal saline (0.01 mL·g-1), and the other groups received corresponding drugs for treatment. On the day of the experiment, general observations were recorded (such as body weight, spirit, fur, and skin). After sampling, skin tissue pathological changes were observed under an optical microscope using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Masson staining methods. Skin thickness and skin moisture content were measured. Biochemical assay kits were used to detect skin hydroxyproline (HYP) content, skin and serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect serum interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and IL-1β levels in mice. Western blot was used to detect skin tissue type Ⅰ collagen (ColⅠ), type Ⅲ collagen (ColⅢ), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phosphorylated (p)-PI3K, protein kinase B (Akt), p-Akt, nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase (HO)-1, and nuclear factor (NF)-κB protein expression. ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group showed varying degrees of changes. In general, signs of aging such as reduced body weight (P<0.01), listlessness, dull fur color, and formation of wrinkles on the skin appeared. Tissue specimen testing revealed skin thinning, flattening of the dermoepidermal junction (DEJ), and reduced collagen fibers under the optical microscope. Skin thickness and moisture content decreased, skin tissue HYP content significantly decreased (P<0.01), skin and serum SOD activity significantly decreased (P<0.01), and MDA content significantly increased (P<0.01). Serum IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β levels significantly increased (P<0.01). Skin ColⅠ, ColⅢ, p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, Nrf2, and HO-1 protein expression significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and NF-κB expression increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the VC group and the MTBD low-dose group showed increased skin moisture content, HYP content, SOD activity, and ColⅠ, ColⅢ, p-PI3K/PI3K protein expression (P<0.05, P<0.01), and decreased serum MDA content (P<0.05). In addition, a decrease in serum IL-6 and IL-1β levels was detected in the MTBD low-dose group (P<0.05), while the above indicators in the MTBD medium- and high-dose groups improved (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionSleep deprivation accelerates the aging process of the skin in SD model mice. MTBD can improve this phenomenon, exerting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, and its mechanism of action may be related to the activation of the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 signaling pathway.
