OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of vitamin D analogue for postmenopausal osteoporotic women in China. METHODS A Markov microsimulation model was developed to analyze the clinical and economic outcomes of eldecalcitol, alfacalcidol and calcitriol for postmenopausal osteoporosis from the healthcare system perspective in China. The clinical parameters required for the model were derived from network meta-analysis, while cost and utility data were primarily obtained from the literature. The cycle length was 1 year , the time horizon was life time, and the willingness-to-pay threshold was 0.5 times the gross domestic product per capita in China in 2023(44 679 yuan/QALY). Model uncertainty was tested with one-way sensitivity analysis, probabilistic sensitivity analysis, and scenario analysis. RESULTS The quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) for eldecalcitol were calculated to be 12.03 QALYs, which were higher than those for alfacalcidol (11.94 QALYs) and calcitriol (11.92 QALYs). Meanwhile, the direct medical cost associated with eldecalcitol treatment amounted to 38 805 yuan, which was lower than that of alfacalcidol (45 173 yuan) and calcitriol (45 821 yuan). The results of the one-way sensitivity analysis showed that the risk ratio of hip fracture and vertebral fracture had a significant impact on the result. The probabilistic sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis showed the robustness of the findings from the base-case analysis. CONCLUSIONS Compared with alfacalcidol and calcitriol, eldecalcitol is likely to be a cost-effective treatment for postmenopausal osteoporotic women in China.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the occurrence characteristics and risk factors of adverse drug reactions (ADR) of gemcitabine for injection in national centralized volume-based procurement (hereinafter referred to as “centralized procurement”), and provide reference for clinical safe drug use. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted to collect the relevant case reports of gemcitabine for injection reported to the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring System by Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from January 2022 to December 2023; basic information of patients, drug use status, patient outcomes, rational drug use and other information were collected, and the occurrence characteristics of ADRs with leukopenia, myelosuppression, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and liver dysfunction were analyzed. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the correlation of gender, age, combination of antitumor drugs, original malignant tumor and drug dose with ADR. RESULTS A total of 315 cases reports (315 patients) of gemcitabine-induced ADR were included in this study, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.42∶1 and age of (61.17±9.13) years. The primary malignant tumor was pancreatic cancer (73 cases, 23.17%). Leukopenia, myelosuppression and nausea were the most common ADR, followed by neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, liver dysfunction and so on. The severity grade of ADR was mainly 1-2, and the outcome of most ADR was good. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that combination of antitumor drugs was a risk factor for myelosuppression and neutropenia (RR=2.154, 95%CI: 1.218- 3.807, P=0.008; RR=3.099, 95%CI: 1.240-7.744, P=0.016); gender (female) was a risk factor for leukopenia and liver dysfunction (RR=0.508, 95%CI: 0.302-0.853, P=0.010; RR=0.301, 95%CI: 0.102-0.887, P=0.029). In terms of drug use rationality, there were 143 cases (45.40%) of drug 126.com use in accordance with the indications of the label, and 172 cases (54.60%) of off-label drug use. Among them, the primary malignant tumors were bladder cancer, bile duct cancer and ovarian cancer, which ranked the top three off-label drug use. CONCLUSIONS The ADR caused by gemcitabine in Inner Mongolia is mainly in the blood and digestive systems. The severity of ADRs is mainly classified as 1-2 levels, and most ADRs have good outcomes. Gender (female) and combination medication are risk factors for gemcitabine-induced ADR. Appropriate chemotherapy regimen should be selected according to the patient’s condition and physical condition, and ADR monitoring in blood and digestive systems should be strengthened during medication of gemcitabine.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of parthenolide (PLT) on systemic inflammation and intestinal injury in rats with acute pancreatitis (AP) by regulating the Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-associated protein 1 (Keap1)/nuclear factor-erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling pathway. METHODS AP rat model was established by injecting 3.5% sodium taurine cholate solution (1 mL/kg) into the biliary pancreatic duct, and modeled rats were divided into AP group, PLT (300 µg/kg) group, dexamethasone (2 mg/kg) group, inhibitor (11 mg/kg Nrf2 inhibitor ML385) group, and PLT+inhibitor group (300 µg/kg PLT+11 mg/kg ML385), with 10 rats in each group. Another 10 rats were taken as a sham operation group. Each group was given relevant medicine or normal saline via tail vein/intraperitoneal injection once. After 24 h, serum lipase and amylase levels, the levels of oxidative stress index [superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA)] and inflammatory factors [interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] were detected. The histopathological changes in colon mucosa and pancreas were observed, and Chiu and Schmidt scores were performed. The cell apoptosis in colon mucosa and the protein expressions of Keap1, Nrf2 and HO-1 were detected. RESULTS Compared with the sham operation group, there was obvious inflammatory cell infiltration in colon mucosa and pancreatic tissue, cell shedding or tissue necrosis and severe bleeding; serum levels of lipase, amylase, MDA, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α, Chiu and Schmidt scores, apoptotic rate and protein expression of Keap1 in colonic mucosa were significantly increased or up-regulated, while SOD level and protein expressions of Nrf2 20230993) and HO-1 were decreased or down-regulated significantly (P<0.05). Compared with the AP group, the above indexes in the PLT group and dexamethasone group were significantly improved, while those in the inhibitor group further deteriorated (P<0.05). Inhibitor could significantly reverse the improvement effect of PLT on the above indexes in AP rats (P< 0.05). CONCLUSIONS PLT inhibits inflammation and oxidative stress in AP rats, alleviates intestinal damage, and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting protein expression of Keap1 and activating Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Methods:
Perimenopausal women aged 40-60 who underwent health check-ups at Xingtai People's Hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected as subjects by convenient sampling method. Demographic information, lifestyle, waist-to-hip ratio, and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations, and laboratory tests. Carotid plaques were detected using a Doppler ultrasound diagnostic instrument. Factors affecting carotid plaques among perimenopausal women were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
Totally 2 146 perimenopausal women were surveyed, with an age of (50.04±5.82) years. Carotid plaques were detected in 525 cases, with a detection rate of 24.46%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that older age (45-<50 years old, OR=1.474, 95%CI: 1.062-2.047; 55-60 years old, OR=1.779, 95%CI: 1.276-2.481), residing in urban areas (OR=1.601, 95%CI: 1.079-2.376), drinking (OR=1.805, 95%CI: 1.108-2.941), hypertension (OR=1.815, 95%CI: 1.290-2.553), abnormal waist-to-hip ratio (OR=2.479, 95%CI: 1.982-3.101), and abnormal atherogenic index of plasma (OR=1.325, 95%CI: 1.064-1.650) were associated with a higher risk of carotid plaques. College degree or above (college, OR=0.659, 95%CI: 0.502-0.865; bachelor's degree or above, OR=0.517, 95%CI: 0.397-0.673), physical exercise (OR=0.621, 95%CI: 0.494-0.781) were associated with a lower risk of carotid plaques.
Conclusion
The carotid plaques among perimenopausal women mainly affected by age, place of residence, educational level, alcohol consumption, physical exercise, hypertension, waist-to-hip ratio and atherogenic index of plasma.

Objective To explore the efficacy of progressive exercise training based on the modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC) grading in respiratory rehabilitation for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at a primary healthcare setting. Methods A total of 106 patients with COPD admitted to Zhuanqiao Community Health Service Center in Shanghai from Aug.1, 2022 to Jul. 30, 2024 were selected as research subjects. They were randomly divided into a study group and a control group in a 1∶1 ratio, with 53 patients in each group. The control group received conventional treatment, while the study group received conventional treatment combined with progressive exercise training. After 4 weeks of continuous treatment, the changes in the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), COPD assessment test (CAT) score, mMRC grading, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) grading and pulmonary function were compared between the two groups. Results Patients in both groups showed improvements in 6MWT distance, CAT score, mMRC grading, GOLD grading, and pulmonary function compared to baseline (P<0.05). Moreover, the study group had better improvements in 6MWT distance, CAT score, mMRC grading, GOLD grading, and pulmonary function than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions Conventional treatment combined with progressive exercise training based on mMRC grading can enhance the effect of respiratory rehabilitation in patients with COPD, particularly in improving pulmonary function and exercise tolerance.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors for the training quality of clinical pharmacy undergraduates in China from multiple dimensions and the problems existing in the current training model, to propose suggestions for improvement, and to provide a reference for improving the training quality of clinical pharmacy undergraduates in China.Methods:Four dimensions of vital importance to the training quality of clinical pharmacy undergraduates in China were summarized based on the results of previous literature research and semi-structured interviews, and a questionnaire was designed to conduct a survey among clinical pharmacy undergraduates. Then based on the problems obtained through feedback, an investigation was conducted among the clinical pharmacists in various provinces across the country. SPSS 25.0 was used to perform a statistical analysis.Results:The influencing factors for the cultivation and development of clinical pharmacy undergraduates included insufficient awareness of their major [18.28% (17/93) of the senior and graduate students still had no understanding or relatively little understanding of their major], a lack of specialty characteristics in undergraduate education of clinical pharmacy [35.91% (107/298) of the students thought that the arrangement of public courses during the undergraduate period of clinical pharmacy was unreasonable or needed improvement], unreasonable arrangement of the contents and time of internship [34.23% (102/298) of the students thought that the experiment and internship arrangement during the undergraduate period of clinical pharmacy was unreasonable or needed to be improved], and inadequate cultivation of learning and scientific research innovation abilities [66.78% (199/298) of the students had not participated in scientific research projects or training, with σ>1 in the statistics of various learning behaviors]. Conclusions:Professional cognition and internship/practice should be taken seriously in the training system of clinical pharmacy undergraduates. Curriculum setting should be optimized to enhance specialty characteristics, and the teaching and training model should be improved to focus on ability training.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of albumin (ALB), aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ratio (AST/ALT) in patients with acute liver failure (ALF) in hyperacute phase of sepsis which provided the basis for clinical evaluation and prognostic judgment and corresponding treatment options.Methods:A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted. Patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis admitted to Zhoupu Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Health College, Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Hospital, and Shanghai Oriental Hospital from January 2019 to February 2024 were enrolled. General data such as gender and age of the patients were collected. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), liver function indexes [total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), AST, ALT, AST/ALT, ALB, total protein (TP), globulin (GLB), ALB/GLB ratio (A/G), blood amine, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT)], platelet count (PLT), creatinine, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), severity of illness scores [acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA)], serum procalcitonin (PCT), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), arterial blood lactic acid (Lac) within 24 hours after admission, and whether to use mechanical ventilation, whether to use vasoactive drugs, whether to use artificial liver treatment and prognosis during hospitalization also were collected. The differences of clinical data between patients with different prognosis were compared. The variables with statistically significant differences in univariate analysis were included in multivariate Logistic regression analysis to determine the independent risk factors for death of patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis during hospitalization. The receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of ALB and AST/ALT for death of patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis during hospitalization.Results:A total of 73 patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis were included, with 22 survived and 51 died during hospitalization and the mortality of 69.86%. Compared with the survival group, the patients in the death group had lower ALB, γ-GT within 24 hours after admission and proportion of artificial liver treatment, and higher AST/ALT, SOFA score, LDH and proportion of use of vasoactive drugs. The differences were statistically significant. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that ALB and AST/ALT were the independent risk factors for death in patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis during hospitalization [ALB: odds ratio ( OR) = 0.856, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.736-0.996, P = 0.044; AST/ALT: OR = 2.018, 95% CI was 1.137-3.580, P = 0.016]. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of ALB for predicting in-hospital death in patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis was 0.760 (95% CI was 0.637-0.884, P < 0.001). When ALB ≤ 29.05 g/L, the sensitivity was 68.2%, and the specificity was 76.5%. The AUC of AST/ALT for predicting in-hospital death in patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis was 0.764 (95% CI was 0.639-0.888, P < 0.001). When AST/ALT ≥ 1.26, the sensitivity was 59.1%, and the specificity was 90.2%. Conclusions:The lower the ALB level, and the higher the AST/ALT within 24 hours after admission, the worse the prognosis of patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis. ALB and AST/ALT can be used as clinical indicators to evaluate the severity and prognosis of patients with ALF in hyperacute phase of sepsis.
