This paper summarizes Professor WANG Xiuxia's clinical experience in treating hyperprolactinemia using the liver soothing therapy. Professor WANG identifies liver qi stagnation and rebellious chong qi （冲气） as the core pathomechanisms of hyperprolactinemia. Furthermore， liver qi stagnation may transform into fire or lead to pathological changes such as spleen deficiency with phlegm obstruction or kidney deficiency with essence depletion. The treatment strategy centers on soothing the liver， with a modified version of Qinggan Jieyu Decoction （清肝解郁汤） as the base formula. Depending on different syndrome patterns such as liver stagnation transforming into fire， liver stagnation with spleen deficiency， or liver stagnation with kidney deficiency， heat clearing， spleen strengthening， or kidney tonifying herbs are added accordingly. In addition， three paired herb combinations are commonly used for symptom specific treatment， Danggui （Angelica sinensis） with Chuanxiong （Ligusticum chuanxiong）， Zelan （Lycopus lucidus） with Yimucao （Leonurus japonicus） ， and Jiegeng （Platycodon grandiflorus） with Zisu （Perilla frutescens）.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the major microvascular complications of diabetes. With the increasing prevalence of diabetes, it has become an important cause of end-stage renal disease, which seriously threatens the life and health of patients and aggravates the medical burden of society. The dysfunction of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a key role in the progression of DKD, and the mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane (MAM) is the core hub of the dynamic interaction between the two. Mitochondrial dynamics and apoptosis affect the pathological process of DKD. This article systematically reviews the multiple molecular mechanisms of MAM in the occurrence and development of DKD, reveals its involvement in the fine regulatory network of kidney injury by regulating calcium ion (Ca2+) balance, glucose metabolism, inflammatory response and autophagy, and clarifies how MAM dysfunction drives the transformation of DKD into end-stage renal disease. In addition, this article deeply explores the potential of MAM-related biomarkers in early diagnosis, as well as innovative therapeutic strategies such as drug intervention and gene repair targeting MAM, which provides theoretical references for basic mechanism research and clinical practice of DKD.

ObjectiveTo assess the availability of bronchodilators for treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in community health service centers (CHCs) in Shanghai. MethodsOn the basis of previous research, the questionnaire was updated, and surveys were conducted from April to May 2023 in CHCs in Shanghai, with a focus on the availability of medications for COPD treatment. According to the National Basic Medical Insurance, Work Injury Insurance, and Maternity Insurance Drug List (2023 Edition), a total of 24 types of bronchodilators for COPD treatment were identified. The availability rates were used to assess the accessibility of specific drugs in CHCs, and the dispensing rates were used to evaluate the variety of these medications in CHCs. ResultsA total of 248 CHCs responded, with a response rate of 100.0%. Among them, a total of 232 CHCs (93.5%) were equipped with bronchodilators. In terms of availability rates, the availability rates for β₂ adrenoreceptor agonists, muscarinic antagonists, combination drugs, and xanthines drugs were 86.3%, 52.0%, 52.4%, and 85.1%, respectively. Regional differences were observed, in that salbutamol/levalbuterol and budesonide-formoterol were less available in suburban CHCs, ipratropium bromide had lower availability in urban CHCs, and aminophylline was more available in suburban CHCs. Regarding the dispensing rates of the 24 types of bronchodilators for COPD treatment, the median of types equipped by CHCs was 5, with a total of 200 CHCs (80.6%) equipped with fewer than 7 types of bronchodilator drugs. ConclusionThe proportion of CHCs in Shanghai equipped with bronchodilators for COPD is relatively high. However, there exist problems such as limited variety of stocked medications, significant differences in the availability of different drugs, and regional imbalances in drug stocking. To improve the standardized diagnosis, treatment, and management of COPD patients, it is recommended to enhance the availability of COPD treatment medications in CHCs.

Objective To explore the association of working hours and shift work with occupational stress, fatigue accumulation, and depressive symptoms among primary community medical workers. Methods A total of 516 medical workers from five community medical service centers in Pudong New Area, Shanghai City, were selected as the research subjects using the convenience sampling method. The Core Scale of Occupational Stress Measurement, the Workers' Fatigue Accumulation Self-diagnosis Questionnaire, and the Patient Health Questionnaire were used to assess research subjects' occupational stress, fatigue accumulation, and depressive symptoms, respectively. Results Long working hours (>40 hours/week) were reported by 50.4% of workers among the research subjects, while shift works were reported by 16.9% of the workers. The detection rates of occupational stress, fatigue accumulation, and depressive symptoms were 26.6%, 41.7%, and 30.8%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis result revealed that, after adjusting for confounders such as age, sex, and education level, longer working hours were associated with higher risks of occupational stress, fatigue accumulation, and depressive symptoms (all P<0.05). Shift workers in community medical centers had higher risks of occupational stress, fatigue accumulation, and depressive symptoms compared with non-shift workers (all P<0.05). Conclusion Long working hours and shift work could increase the risks of occupational stress, fatigue accumulation, and depressive symptoms among community medical workers.

Ferroptosis has received great attention as an iron-dependent programmed cell death for efficient cancer therapy. However, with the accumulation of iron in tumor cells, the antioxidant system is activated by reducing glutathione (GSH) with glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), which critically limits the ferroptosis therapeutic effect. Herein, an iron and GPX4 silencing siRNA (siGPX4) co-encapsulated ferritin nanocage (HFn@Fe/siGPX4) was developed to enhance ferroptosis by disruption of redox homeostasis and inhibition of antioxidant enzyme synergistically. The siGPX4 were loaded into the nanocages by pre-incubated with iron, which could significantly improve the loading efficiency of the gene drugs when compared with the reported gene drug loading strategy by ferritin nanocages. And more iron was overloaded into the ferritin through the diffusion method. When HFn@Fe/siGPX4 was taken up by human breast cancer cell MCF-7 in a TfR1-mediated pathway, the excess iron ions in the drug delivery system could for one thing induce ferroptosis by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), for another promote siGPX4 escaping from the lysosome to exert gene silencing effect more effectively. Both the in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that HFn@Fe/siGPX4 could significantly inhibit tumor growth by synergistical ferroptosis. Thus, the developed HFn@Fe/siGPX4 afforded a combined ferroptosis strategy for ferroptosis-based antitumor as well as a novel and efficient gene drug delivery system.

A patient with osteomyelitis who developed a rash after previous treatment with vancomycin was admitted to the hospital due to a recurrence of osteomyelitis.After admission,the orthopedic doctor intended to perform a"calcium sulfate vancomycin implantation surgery"on him.Clinical pharmacist identified the patient's previous rash reaction as red man syndrome(RMS)rather than genuine drug allergy.At the same time,in response to the clinical doubt of whether patients with previous RMS can undergo"calcium sulfate vancomycin implantation surgery",clinical pharmacists reviewed and analyzed the literature,and suggested that the surgery can continue under close monitoring.The patient did not experience RMS or allergic reactions after surgery,and the condition improved.In this paper,the clinical pharmacists started with the identification of RMS and rapid allergic reactions,reviewed the literature on the local use of vancomycin and the risk of RMS,and provide suggestions for subsequent treatment,and also provide references for clinical safe drug use and treatment of similar diseases.

Objective:To analyze the three-dimensional radiographic characteristics of calcifying odon-togenic cyst and calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor using spiral computed tomography(CT)and cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT).Methods:Clinical records,histopathological reports,and CBCT or non-enhanced spiral CT images of 19 consecutive patients with calcifying odontogenic cyst(COC)and 16 consecutive patients with calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor(CEOT)were retrospec-tively acquired,and radiographic features,including location,size,expansion,internal structure and calcification,were analyzed.Results:Among the 19 COC cases(12 males and 7 females,with an average age of 27 years),89.5％(17/19)of the lesions originated from the anterior and premolar areas,100.0％of them exhibited cortex expansion,and 78.9％had discontinued cortex.Among the 16 CEOT cases(3 males and 13 females,with an average age of 36 years),81.3％(13/16)of the lesions were in the premolar and molar areas,56.3％of them exhibited cortex expansion,and 96.8％had discontinued cortex.According to the distribution of internal calcifications,these lesions were divided in-to:Ⅰ(non-calcification type):absence of calcification;Ⅱ(eccentric marginal type):multiple calcifi-cations scattered along one side of the lesion;Ⅲ(diffused type):numerous calcifications diffusely dis-tributed into the lesion;Ⅳ(plaque type):with a ≥ 5 mm calcified patch;V(peri-coronal type):multiple calcifications clustered around impacted teeth.Calcifications were present in 73.7％of COC le-sions,including 9 type Ⅱ,3 type Ⅲ and 2 type Ⅳ lesions,and 42.8％of CEOT lesions had calcifica-tion images,including 2 type Ⅲ and 5 type V lesions.Six COC lesions had odontoma-like images.Moreover,8 of 9 type Ⅰ CEOTs were histologically Langerhans cell-rich subtype,which had a smaller size(with an average mesiodistal diameter of 17.8 mm)and were not associated with impacted teeth.Conclusion:COC lesions tended to originate from the anterior part of the jaw and exhibit cortex expan-sion,and were sometimes associated with odontoma.CEOT commonly occurred in the posterior jaw and had discontinued cortex.Two lesions had significantly different calcification map.Over 70％of COC le-sions had calcification images,which were mostly scattered along one side of the cysts,far from the im-pacted teeth.Approximately 60％of CEOT lesions exhibited smaller size and non-calcification,and the remaining CEOT cases often had calcification images clustered around the impacted teeth.

Objective To analyze the correlation between serum soluble Klotho protein(sKL)and tendino-C(TN-C)and the severity of disease and oxidative stress in children with immunoglobulin A(IgA)nephropa-thy.Methods A total of 85 children with IgA nephropathy admitted to the hospital from July 2019 to August 2022 were selected as IgA nephropathy group,and 85 healthy patients who underwent physical examination in the hospital during the same period were selected as healthy group.Serum sKL and TN-C levels were com-pared between the two groups.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to analyze the value of serum sKL,TN-C and their combination in predicting the occurrence of IgA nephropathy.IgA nephropathy group was divided into mild group(28 cases),moderate group(39 cases)and severe group(18 cases)accord-ing to 24 h urinary protein quantity.Serum sKL,TN-C levels and oxidative stress indexes[malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD)and advanced oxidation protein product(AOPP)]of the three groups were compared.The correlation between serum sKL and TN-C levels and oxidative stress indexes was ana-lyzed by Spearman correlation,and the correlation between serum sKL and TN-C levels and the severity of IgA nephropathy in children was examined by Kendall's Tau-b.Results The serum sKL level in IgA ne-phropathy group was lower than that in healthy group,and the serum TN-C level was higher than that in healthy group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).ROC curve showed that the area under the curve and 95％CI of serum sKL,TNC and their combination predicted the occurrence of IgA nephropathy were 0.726(95％CI:0.648-0.803),0.853(95％CI:0.796-0.909)and 0.891(95％CI:0.845-0.937).The level of serum sKL in severe group was lower than that in moderate and mild groups,while the level of serum TN-C was higher than that in moderate and mild groups,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The serum SOD level of severe group was lower than that of moderate group and mild group,and the serum AOPP and MDA levels were higher than those of moderate group and mild group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation showed that sKL level was positively correlated with SOD(r＞0,P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with AOPP and MDA(r＜0,P＜0.05).TN-C level was negatively correlated with SOD(r＜0,P＜0.05),and positively correlated with AOPP and MDA(r＞0,P＜0.05).Conclusion The levels of serum sKL and TN-C in children with IgA nephropathy are related to the severity of disease and oxidative stress,and the combination of SKL and TN-C can effectively predict the occurrence of IgA nephropathy.

Objective: To analyze the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and gallstone disease among middle-aged and elderly population, so as to provide the evidence for the prevention and control of gallstone disease. Methods: Baseline survey data were collected from the Shanghai Women's Health Study (SWHS) and Shanghai Men's Health Study (SMHS), including demographic information, gallstone disease prevalence and dietary habits. DII was calculated using 29 kinds of food parameters associated with common inflammatory biomarkers and food intake data of residents. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between dietary inflammatory index and gallstone disease. Results: A total of 132 312 individuals were included in the analysis. There were 59 627 males and 72 685 females. Among males, the median age was 53.07 (interquartile range, 9.73) years, 41 544 cases (69.67%) had an educational level of middle school, 4 463 cases (7.48%) had gallstone disease, and DII was -6.46 to 5.59. Among females, the median age was 50.27 (interquartile range, 9.05) years, 47 380 cases (65.19%) had an educational level of middle school, 8 090 cases (11.13%) had gallstone disease, and DII was -6.44 to 4.93. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, educational level, income level, smoking, alcohol consumption, tea consumption, physical activity and menopausal status (only for females), DII (OR=1.095, 95%CI: 1.002-1.196) was associated with an increased risk of gallston disease among males, but no statistically association was found among females (P>0.05). Conclusion DII might be associated with an increased risk of gallstone disease among middle-aged and elderly population.
