OBJECTIVE To establish the index system of quality evaluation standard for pharmacist training in cough and wheeze pharmaceutical care (CWPC) outpatient department, and to provide a basis for the selection of CWPC pharmacist training teachers and the improvement of training plans. METHODS Based on Kirkpatrick model, using the Delphi method, a total of 15 experts from 13 tertiary hospitals in 10 provinces in China were consulted to establish the standard index system of the quality evaluation for CWPC pharmacists training. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was adopted to determine the weights of each indicator and quantify the index system according to the weights of indicators at all levels. RESULTS The coefficient of expert authority was 0.810, the judgment coefficient was 0.727, and the familiarity coefficient was 0.893. The Kendall coordination coefficient of each index was 0.308-0.687. The P values of χ2 test were all less than 0.05, which indicated that the degree of coordination of the experts was high. After two rounds of correspondence, Kirkpatrick model-based index system of quality evaluation standard for CWPC pharmacist training was determined. The index system included 4 first-level indexes (participants’ reaction layer, learning gain layer, behavior improvement layer, training outcome layer), 12 second-level indexes (such as training needs, teaching methods, theoretical knowledge, practical skills, job abilities, patient benefits, etc.) and 44 third-level indexes (such as clear training objectives, core system of CWPC, special device operation and evaluation, professional knowledge related to the treatment of cough and wheeze patients, promoting the construction of CWPC, improving patient compliance). CONCLUSIONS The constructed index system of quality evaluation standard for CWPC pharmacist training has a certain level of authority and scientificity, and provides a scientific theoretical basis for quality evaluation of CWPC pharmacist training.

OBJECTIVE To discuss the factors affecting the blood concentration of high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions (ADR) when treating lymphoma with HD-MTX. METHODS From July 2020 to November 2021, the information of HD-MTX patients who had been monitored for HD-MTX blood drug concentration in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University was collected by retrospective analysis, such as medical record number, age, sex, height, body mass, chemotherapy plan, dosage; test indexes such as alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, total bilirubin, creatinine clearance (CrCl), albumin (ALB) and other indexes were also collected before and after administration. The blood concentrations (c6 h, c24 h, c48 h) of HD-MTX were recorded, drug information of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) was extracted and used, and ADR occurring within 48 h after administration were all evaluated. Single factor analysis, multiple linear regression and χ2 test were used to analyze the influential factors. RESULTS A total of 133 patients were included in this paper. The results of the single factor analysis of HD-MTX blood drug concentration showed that age, CrCl had an effect on c 6 h (P<0.05); age, CrCl and ALB had an effect on c24 h (P<0.05); age, body mass index (BMI), CrCl, combined use of PPIs and ALB had an effect on c48 h (P<0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that age and CrCl had no effect on c 6 h (P>0.05), age was the main influential factor of c 24 h (P<0.05), and CrCl and combined use of PPIs were the main influential factors of c48 h (P<0.05); the coefficient of variance expansion was between 1 and 3.5, indicating that the analysis results were acceptable. The overall incidence of adverse reactions was 51.13%, of which the blood and lymphatic system reactions were the most common. The results of the influential factors of ADR showed that age, BMI, liver function and CrCl had effect on the incidence of ADR (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS During the process of HD-MTX in the treatment of lymphoma, the patient’s age, CrCl and combined use of PPIs should be considered, and the patient’s blood concentration should be monitored; at the same time, the age of patients, BMI, liver function and CrCl have an impact on the incidence of ADR.

Objective:
To investigate MAML2 gene-translocation in primary pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma (PMEC) and pulmanary adenosquamous carcinoma, and the optimal diagnostic immunohistiochemical (IHC) panel in distinguishing PMEC from adenosqumous carcinoma.
Methods:
Twenty-four cases of PMEC and 44 adenosqumous carcinoma diagnosed in the Guangdong General Hospital were tested for MAML2 translocation by fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) using tissue array. An IHC panel including TTF1, Napsin A, CK5/6, p63, p40 and Ki-67 was performed on the cohort. The clinical data for all cases were collected and all PMEC patients had follow-up information.
Results:
The patients′ age ranged form 6 to 73 years, with a median age of 32 years. The male to female ratio was 1.4∶1.0. MAML2 translocation was found in 16/24 (66.7%) cases of PMEC whereas all 44 cases adenosqumous carcinoma were negative for translocation. All the cases of the PMEC were negative for TTF1 and Napsin A but positive for CK5/6, p63 and p40 in the intermediate cells and epidermal-like cells. In most PMEC cases, the Ki-67 expression index was lower than 10%. In contrast, most cases of adenosqumous carcinomas expressed TTF1 and Napsin A in the adenomatous component and CK5/6, p63 and p40 in the squamous component, which expression pattern was different from that of PMEC. Based on IHC staining, 2 cases of highly invasive ALK-positive adenocarcinoma mimicing PMEC were also found in the study.
Conclusions
MAML2 gene translocation can be detected in about two-third of PMEC. Translocation of MAML2 gene and lower morphology grading are associated with good prognosis. The combined use of IHC antibodies panel is helpful to distinguish PMEC from the adenosqumous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma mimicing PMEC.

assess clinical features and treatment outcomes in immunocompetent patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Methods Sixty?two patients with PCNSL who attended Guangdong General Hospital between January 1998 and January 2012 were included. Survival curves were estimated using Kaplan?Meier survival methodology and statistical significance of continuous was assessed via the Cox proportional hazard model. Results The median age of the patient cohort was 56 years, and the male to female ratio was 1.14∶1.00. The common presentations were increased intracranial pressure symptoms and neuron damage. Performance status of 54 (54/62, 87.1%) patients were the international prognostic index (IPI) 0-2. Diffuse large B?cell lymphoma (57/62, 91.9%) was most common, and the rest were T?cell lymphoma (4/62, 6.4%) and extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa?associated lymphoid tissue (1/62, 1.6%). In the series, 32 patients (32/62, 51.6%) had multiple lesions. Involvement of deep structures was found in 30 (30/62, 48.4%) patients. An elevated serum LDH level was detected in 19 (19/62, 30.6%) patients and the Ki?67 index was ≥90% in 38 (38/62, 61.3%) patients. Univariate analysis showed patients who were female, age<60 years, had WHO Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status grade 0-2, single lesion, absence of deep structures involvement and normal LDH level showed better 2?year survival rate and longer median survival time. Significance was only seen in the normal LDH level group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that radical surgery only and Rituximab+ high?dose of methotrexate+ whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) were independent prognostic indicators in PCNSL patients (P<0.05). Conclusions PCNSL is a rare but aggressive tumor with poor prognosis. Patients treated with high?dose of methotrexate combining with rituximab, followed by WBRT have a better prognosis and longer survival time, and thus these could probably be a promising treatment.

Surface molecularly imprinted polymers (SMIPs) for selective adsorption of ampicillin sodium were synthesized using surface molecular imprinting technique with silica gel as a support. The physical and morphological characteristics of the polymers were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), elemental analysis and nitrogen adsorption–desorption test. The obtained results showed that the SMIPs displayed great adsorption capacity (13.5μg/mg), high recognition ability (the imprinted factor is 3.2) and good binding kinetics for ampicillin sodium. Finally, as solid phase extraction adsorbents, the SMIPs coupled with HPLC method were validated and applied for the enrichment, purification and determination of ampicillin sodium in real milk and blood samples. The averages of spiked accuracy ranged from 92.1%to 107.6%. The relative standard deviations of intra-and inter-day precisions were less than 4.6%. This study provides a new and promising method for enriching, extracting and determining ampicillin sodium in complex biological samples.
