OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of pharmaceutical quality control on the efficiency and outcomes of standardized medication therapy management （MTM） services for patients with coronary heart disease by using Economic， Clinical and Humanistic Outcomes （ECHO） model. METHODS This study collected case data of coronary heart disease patients who received MTM services during January-March 2023 （pre-quality control implementation group， n＝96） and June-August 2023 （post-quality control implementation group， n＝164）. Using propensity score matching analysis， 80 patients were selected from each group. The study subsequently compared the economic， clinical， and humanistic outcome indicators of pharmaceutical services between the two matched groups. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups after matching （P＞0.05）. Compared with pre-quality control implementation group， the daily treatment cost （16.26 yuan vs. 24.40 yuan， P＜0.001）， cost-effectiveness ratio [23.12 yuan/quality-adjusted life year （QALY） vs. 32.32 yuan/QALY， P＜0.001]， and the incidence of general adverse drug reactions （2.50% vs. 10.00%， P＝0.049） of post-quality control implementation group were decreased significantly； the utility value of the EuroQol Five-Dimensional Questionnaire （0.74± 0.06 vs. 0.71±0.07， P＝0.003）， the reduction in the number of medication related problems （1.0 vs. 0.5， P＜0.001）， the medication adherence score （[ 6.32±0.48） points vs. （6.10±0.37） points， P＝0.001]， and the satisfaction score （[ 92.56±1.52） points vs. （91.95±1.56） points， P＝0.013] all showed significant improvements. Neither group experienced serious adverse drug reactions. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of new adverse reactions between the two groups （1.25% vs. 3.75%， P＝0.310）. CONCLUSIONS Pharmaceutical quality control can improve the quality of pharmaceutical care， and the ECHO model can quantitatively evaluate the effect of MTM services， making pharmaceutical care better priced and more adaptable to social needs， thus being worthy of promotion.

Objective:To explore the relationship among subjective well-being and depression-anxiety-stress and dispositional mindfulness in professional athletes,and the role of cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance and age in the relationship.Methods:Totally 423 professional athletes were selected and assessed with the Satisfac-tion with Life Scale(SWLS),Positive Affect Scale(PAS),Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale(DASS-21),Five Fac-et Mindfulness Questionnaire(FFMQ),Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire(CFQ),and Acceptance and Action Ques-tionnaire-Ⅱ(AAQ-Ⅱ).Results:After controlling for gender,the FFMQ scores were positively correlated with SWB scores(β=0.35),and negatively correlated with DASS-21 scores(β=-0.40).The scores of CFQ and AAQ-Ⅱplayed a sequential mediating role in the relationship between FFMQ scores and the scores of SWB and DASS-21(β=0.04,-0.12).Age moderated the relationship between the scores of FFMQ and SWB(β=-0.01).Conclu-sion:The subjective well-being and depression-anxiety-stress may be related to dispositional mindfulness in profes-sional athletes,and age could moderate the relationship between subjective well-being and dispositional mindful-ness.

Objective To construct a Nomogram prediction model based on body position exercise training for patients with chronic constipation. Methods A total of 327 patients with chronic constipation from March 2021 to March 2023 were divided into qualified group (n=279) and unqualified group (n=48) according to their performance in body position exercises. General clinical materials of the patients were collected, and univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for unqualified body position exercises in patients with chronic constipation; the R software was used to construct a Nomogram model for predicting unqualified body position exercises in patients with chronic constipation, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve were applied to verify the discrimination and consistency of the Nomogram model. Results There were no significant differences in gender, education level, history of smoking, history of alcohol abuse, history of hypertension, history of abdominal surgery, history of colonoscopy, and correct medication administration ratio between the two groups (P>0.05); the unqualified group had higher age, longer duration of chronic constipation, and a higher proportion of diabetes history compared to the qualified group (P < 0.05); age, duration of chronic constipation, and diabetes history were independent risk factors for unqualified body position exercises in patients with chronic constipation (P < 0.05). The constructed Nomogram prediction model demonstrated excellent discrimination (area under the curve was 0.923, 95%CI, 0.888 to 0.949, with sensitivity and specificity of 87.50% and 81.00% respectively) and consistency (H-L goodness-of-fit test χ²=2.246, P=0.973). The clinical value of this Nomogram model in predicting unqualified body position exercises for patients with chronic constipation was high when the high-risk threshold probability ranged from 0.06 to 0.80. Conclusion Age, duration of chronic constipation, and diabetes history are independent risk factors for unqualified body position exercises in patients with chronic constipation, and the Nomogram model constructed based on these multi-factor results has high discrimination and consistency in predicting unqualified body position exercises for patients with chronic constipation.

Acidosis, regardless of hypoxia involvement, is recognized as a chronic and harsh tumor microenvironment (TME) that educates malignant cells to thrive and metastasize. Although overwhelming evidence supports an acidic environment as a driver or ubiquitous hallmark of cancer progression, the unrevealed core mechanisms underlying the direct effect of acidification on tumorigenesis have hindered the discovery of novel therapeutic targets and clinical therapy. Here, chemical-induced and transgenic mouse models for colon, liver and lung cancer were established, respectively. miR-7 and TGF-β2 expressions were examined in clinical tissues (n = 184). RNA-seq, miRNA-seq, proteomics, biosynthesis analyses and functional studies were performed to validate the mechanisms involved in the acidic TME-induced lung cancer metastasis. Our data show that lung cancer is sensitive to the increased acidification of TME, and acidic TME-induced lung cancer metastasis via inhibition of miR-7-5p. TGF-β2 is a direct target of miR-7-5p. The reduced expression of miR-7-5p subsequently increases the expression of TGF-β2 which enhances the metastatic potential of the lung cancer. Indeed, overexpression of miR-7-5p reduces the acidic pH-enhanced lung cancer metastasis. Furthermore, the human lung tumor samples also show a reduced miR-7-5p expression but an elevated level of activated TGF-β2; the expressions of both miR-7-5p and TGF-β2 are correlated with patients' survival. We are the first to identify the role of the miR-7/TGF-β2 axis in acidic pH-enhanced lung cancer metastasis. Our study not only delineates how acidification directly affects tumorigenesis, but also suggests miR-7 is a novel reliable biomarker for acidic TME and a novel therapeutic target for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. Our study opens an avenue to explore the pH-sensitive subcellular components as novel therapeutic targets for cancer treatment.

Background::The potential impact of β cell function and insulin sensitivity on adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remains uncertain. We aimed to investigate the association between β cell dysfunction, insulin resistance, and the composite adverse pregnancy outcomes.Methods::This observational study included 482 women diagnosed with GDM during pregnancy. Quantitative metrics on β cell function and insulin sensitivity during pregnancy were calculated using traditional equations. The association of β cell dysfunction and insulin resistance with the risk of the composite adverse pregnancy outcomes was investigated using multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models.Results::Multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of adverse pregnancy outcomes across quartiles of homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were 1.00, 0.95, 1.34, and 2.25, respectively ( P for trend = 0.011). When HOMA-IR was considered as a continuous variable, the multivariable-adjusted OR of adverse pregnancy outcomes was 1.34 (95% confidence interval 1.16-1.56) for each 1-unit increase in HOMA-IR. Multivariable-adjusted ORs of adverse pregnancy outcomes across quartiles of homeostatic model assessment for β cell function (HOMA-β) were 1.00, 0.51, 0.60, and 0.53, respectively ( P for trend = 0.068). When HOMA-β was considered as a continuous variable, the multivariable-adjusted OR of adverse pregnancy outcomes was 0.57 (95% CI 0.24-0.90) for each 1-unit increase in HOMA-β. However, other quantitative metrics were not associated with the composite adverse pregnancy outcomes. Conclusions::We demonstrated a significant association of β cell function and insulin sensitivity with the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. We have provided additional evidence on the early identification of adverse pregnancy outcomes besides the glycemic values.

Objective:To explore the status and influencing factors of incontinence-associated dermatitis among elderly inpatients in 52 hospitals nationwide, and to analyze the nursing of elderly inpatients with incontinence, so as to provide a reference for clinical intervention.Methods:On March 31, 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 14 675 elderly inpatients from 52 hospitals across the country as the research object. The self-designed Incontinence-associated Dermatitis Questionnaire for Elderly Inpatients was used to collect general demographic data, health status, incontinence, and skin nursing. Binomial Logistic regression was used to investigate the influencing factors of incontinence-associated dermatitis in elderly inpatients.Results:Among 14 675 elderly inpatients, the prevalence rates of xerosis cutis, incontinence and incontinence-associated dermatitis were 38.78% (5 691/14 675) , 11.06% (1 623/14 675) and 1.91% (280/14 675) , respectively. The prevalence of mild, moderate and severe incontinence-associated dermatitis were 1.27% (186/14 675) , 0.55% (81/14 675) , and 0.09% (13/14 675) , respectively. Among the nursing of 1 623 elderly inpatients with incontinence, the items with low implementation rate were the use neutral lotion to clean skin (14.17%, 230/1 623) , use of skin protectant after moisturizing (17.68%, 287/1 623) , moisturizing after cleansing the skin (28.90%, 469/1 623) . The results of binomial Logistic regression analysis showed that xeroderma, fecal incontinence, urinary and fecal incontinence, ≥2 kinds of combined medication, and hospital stay >30 days were risk factors for incontinence-associated dermatitis in elderly inpatients.Conclusions:The risk factors of incontinence-associated dermatitis in elderly inpatients mainly include xerosis cutis, type of incontinence, ≥2 kinds of combined medication, and hospital stay >30 days.
