OBJECTIVE To establish a closed-loop management system for the whole-process traceability of outpatient drugs based on internet of things （IoT） and blockchain technology， and evaluate its implementation effects. METHODS A closed-loop management system for the whole-process traceability of outpatient drugs covering the entire drug lifecycle was designed using drug traceability codes integrated with IoT and blockchain technology. System effectiveness was evaluated from three dimensions： work efficiency， medication management quality and data safety by comparing indicators such as the acceptance time of incoming drugs and the number of collected drug traceability codes before the system implementation （October to December 2024） and after the system implementation （January to March 2025）. RESULTS A closed-loop management system for the whole-process traceability of outpatient drugs， centered around the drug traceability code management system， was successfully established. The acceptance time for incoming drugs was shortened from （4.65±0.26） h before implementation to （0.34±0.08） h after implementation （P＜ 0.05）. The number of collected drug traceability codes increased from 419 018 to 1 236 522， and the coverage rate of traceability codes rose from 28.36% to 89.88% （P＜0.05）. The time pharmacists spent on drug expiry management per week decreased from （128.40±19.20） min to （0.56±0.13） min （P＜0.05）， and the dispensing time for a single prescription （excluding a part of injections and repackaged drugs） was reduced from （143.25±17.67） s to （15.24±10.08） s （P＜0.05）. The time for drug return was reduced from 129.90 （122.32， 137.00） s to 104.36 （89.91， 117.33） s（P＜0.05）； the number of drug dispensing errors decreased from 2 cases to 0 cases. After the system was launched， there were no data security incidents in our outpatient pharmacy. CONCLUSIONS The constructed closed-loop management system for the whole-process traceability of outpatient drugs can significantly enhance drug traceability accuracy and drug management quality， improve pharmacist work efficiency， and reduce drug management risks， thus providing a feasible solution for the digital transformation of hospital pharmaceutical services.

Recent studies have indicated that the expression of ubiquitin-specific protease 51 (USP51), a novel deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) that mediates protein degradation as part of the ubiquitin‒proteasome system (UPS), is associated with tumor progression and therapeutic resistance in multiple malignancies. However, the underlying mechanisms and signaling networks involved in USP51-mediated regulation of malignant phenotypes remain largely unknown. The present study provides evidence of USP51's functions as the prominent DUB in chemoresistant triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. At the molecular level, ectopic expression of USP51 stabilized the 78 kDa Glucose-Regulated Protein (GRP78) protein through deubiquitination, thereby increasing its expression and localization on the cell surface. Furthermore, the upregulation of cell surface GRP78 increased the activity of ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1), the main efflux pump of doxorubicin (DOX), ultimately decreasing its accumulation in TNBC cells and promoting the development of drug resistance both in vitro and in vivo. Clinically, we found significant correlations among USP51, GRP78, and ABCB1 expression in TNBC patients with chemoresistance. Elevated USP51, GRP78, and ABCB1 levels were also strongly associated with a poor patient prognosis. Importantly, we revealed an alternative intervention for specific pharmacological targeting of USP51 for TNBC cell chemosensitization. In conclusion, these findings collectively indicate that the USP51/GRP78/ABCB1 network is a key contributor to the malignant progression and chemotherapeutic resistance of TNBC cells, underscoring the pivotal role of USP51 as a novel therapeutic target for cancer management.

An ideal dermal filler should integrate filling, repair, and anti-aging effects, with immediate tissue augmentation, slow degradation, and progressive stimulation of collagen regeneration. However, commonly used hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels, while effective for rapid filling, suffer from limited duration of support, weak cell adhesion, and an inability to promote collagen regeneration. Silk fibroin (SF), a natural protein from silkworm cocoons, is known for its excellent cell adhesion and collagen-stimulating abilities. However, its limited gelation capability restricts its potential application as a standalone injectable hydrogel. Based on a complementary strategy, this study combines the rapid gelling properties of HA with the collagen regenerative properties of SF to create a co-crosslinked HA-SF hydrogel. The composite hydrogel merges HA's rapid filling effect with SF's strong tissue adhesion and collagen-stimulating abilities. The formulation, physicochemical properties, degradation, biocompatibility, and filling effects of the HA-SF hydrogel were systematically investigated. HA-SF hydrogel exhibits excellent mechanical properties and ensures long-term support while maintaining injectability. Interestingly, after intradermal injection in the UVB-induced photoaging model, HA-SF hydrogel not only enhances hydrogel-cell interaction but also continues to stimulate collagen regeneration, especially type III collagen. This dual action achieves the biological effects of repair and anti-aging while maintaining the filling effect. Proteomic analysis confirms that repair and anti-aging effects are enhanced by the regulation of skin fibroblasts and modulation of amino acid and lipid metabolism. This composite hydrogel holds strong promise for clinical applications, offering a safer, long-lasting, and more natural injectable filler that combines filling, repair, and anti-aging into one system.

Numerous c-mesenchymal-epithelial transition (c-MET) inhibitors have been reported as potential anticancer agents. However, most fail to enter clinical trials owing to poor efficacy or drug resistance. To date, the scaffold-based chemical space of small-molecule c-MET inhibitors has not been analyzed. In this study, we constructed the largest c-MET dataset, which included 2,278 molecules with different structures, by inhibiting the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) of kinase activity. No significant differences in drug-like properties were observed between active molecules (1,228) and inactive molecules (1,050), including chemical space coverage, physicochemical properties, and absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) profiles. The higher chemical diversity of the active molecules was downscaled using t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) high-dimensional data. Further clustering and chemical space networks (CSNs) analyses revealed commonly used scaffolds for c-MET inhibitors, such as M5, M7, and M8. Activity cliffs and structural alerts were used to reveal "dead ends" and "safe bets" for c-MET, as well as dominant structural fragments consisting of pyridazinones, triazoles, and pyrazines. Finally, the decision tree model precisely indicated the key structural features required to constitute active c-MET inhibitor molecules, including at least three aromatic heterocycles, five aromatic nitrogen atoms, and eight nitrogen-oxygen atoms. Overall, our analyses revealed potential structure-activity relationship (SAR) patterns for c-MET inhibitors, which can inform the screening of new compounds and guide future optimization efforts.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of oral and laryngeal diadochokinesis abilities and the developmental patterns of coordinated vocal fold movements in preschool children aged 3～6 years.Methods Sixty-one normal preschool children aged 3～6 years were selected to measure their maximum phonation time(MPT),as well as two types of acoustic parameters of oral and laryngeal diadochokinesis ability movements,including the as-sessment of one trisyllabic/pataka/diadochokinesis ability rate and four monosyllabic/?a/,/ha/,/?A/,/hA/la-ryngeal diadochokinesis ability rates.Results Diadochokinesis ability(DDK)and laryngeal diadochokinesis ability(LDDK)rates increased with age in preschool children aged 3～6 years,showing highly significant differences(P＜0.01).The growth rate of children's LDDK rates at age 4～5 years was the maximum within the 3～6 year age range.Children's MPT was highly significantly and positively correlated with DDK and LDDK(P＜0.01).The vo-cal fold adduction capacity in laryngeal diadochokinesis ability movements in children of all age groups was greater than vocal fold adduction ability/?a/LDDK＞/ha/LDDK(P＜0.01),/?A/LDDK＞/h∧/LDDK(P＜0.05).Con-clusion Age,MPT,and vocal fold adduction and abduction status had a significant effect on the oral and laryngeal diadochokinesis ability of preschool children aged 3～6 years old.The ages of 4～5 is a critical period for the devel-opment of children's oral and laryngeal diadochokinesis ability.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of thrombus permeability for poor outcome and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) after endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion stroke.Methods:Patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion stroke underwent EVT at the Cardiocerebrovascular Disease Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Yan'an University from January 2018 to January 2024 were included retrospectively. Thrombus attenuation increase (TAI) was used to evaluate thrombus permeability. The poor outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score >2 at 90 days after procedure. sICH was defined as an increase of ≥4 of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score relative to baseline or lowest within 7 days after EVT, and CT scan showed cerebral hemorrhage. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent influencing factors of poor outcome and sICH. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was used to evaluate the predictive value of TAI for poor outcome and sICH. Results:A total of 77 patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion stroke received EVT treatment were enrolled, including 44 males (57.1%), aged 62.1±12.4 years. Thirty-three patients (48.1%) had poor outcome, 35 (45.5%) experienced hemorrhagic transformation, of which 12 (15.6%) were sICH. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that TAI (odds ratio [ OR] 0.930, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 0.883-0.980; P=0.007) and sICH ( OR 0.868, 95% CI 0.784-0.961; P=0.006) were the independent influencing factors of poor outcome. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of TAI for predicting poor outcome at 90 days was 0.836 (95% CI 0.742-0.930). The cut-off value was 10.135 HU. The sensitivity and specificity were 73.0% and 92.5%, respectively. The area under the curve of TAI for predicting sICH was 0.750 (95% CI 0.637-0.902). The cut-off value was 18.200 HU. The sensitivity and specificity were 94.1% and 64.5%, respectively. Conclusions:TAI has certain predictive value for poor outcome and sICH after EVT in patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion stroke. Patients with higher thrombus permeability are less likely to develop sICH after EVT and have a higher likelihood of good outcome.

Objective To explore the value of combined detection of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2),neuron specific enolase(NSE)and S-100 calcium binding protein β(S-100β)in the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of acute cerebral infarction(ACI)in patients with carbon monoxide poisoning(CMP).Methods A total of 102 patients with CMP complicated with ACI admitted to the hospital from Jan-uary 2020 to November 2021 were selected as the study group,meanwhile,102 patients with simple CMP were enrolled as the control group.Patients in the study group were followed up for 6 months after discharge,ac-cording to the follow-up results,they were grouped into good prognosis group(60 cases)and poor prognosis group(42 cases).The serum levels of Lp-PLA2,NSE and S-100β were detected by enzyme-linked immunosor-bent assay(ELISA).The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to analyze the value of the combination of serum Lp-PLA2,NSE and S-100β in the early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of patients with CMP and ACI.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of Lp-PLA2,NSE and S-100β in the study group were obviously higher(P<0.05).The ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of the combined detection of serum Lp-PLA2、NSE、S-100β for the diagnosis of CMP complicat-ed with ACI was greater than the AUC of single detection of each indicator(P<0.001).Compared with the good prognosis group,the levels of Lp-PLA2,NSE and S-100β in the poor prognosis group were obviously higher(P<0.05).The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of the combined detection of ser-um Lp-PLA2、NSE、S-100β for the prognosis of patients with CMP complicated with ACI was greater than the AUC of single detection of each indicator(P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of Lp-PLA2,NSE and S-100β in serum of patients with CMP complicated with ACI is high,and the combined detection of the three has certain value in the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation for patients with CMP complicated with ACI.

Objective This paper investigates the effect of a multi-physical field fusion intervention based on transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS),transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS)and music on mental fatigue.Methods After fatigue induction,10 subjects received blank group stimulation,music group stimulation and tDCS-TMS-Music stimulation,respectively.tDCS stimulation sites were located in the bilateral frontal regions of the subjects,and TMS stimulation sites were located in the bilateral occipital regions of the hindbrain.Heart rate variability and reaction performance were measured before and after each intervention to determine the elimination effect of different intervention programs on mental fatigue.Results Compared with the control group,the tDCS-TMS-Music group showed significantly greater improvements in subjective mental workload,response performance,and heart rate variability.Conclusion The results of this study support that tDCS-TMS-Music can effectively alleviate mental fatigue induced by long-term cognitive performance tasks,and the intervention effect is better than music intervention and resting-state relief at the same time.

Objective To investigate the effects of DNA demethylation drugs combined with histone deacetylase in-hibitors on fragile X mental retardation 1 neighbor protein (FMR1NB) expression and its promoter methylation in human oral cancer cells and try to find a strategy of weakening the heterogeneity of FMR1NB expression.Methods Human oral cancer cell lines Cal27 and SCC-9 were treated with decitabine (DAC) , an inhibitor of DNA meth-yltransferase, combined with trichostatin A (TSA) and valproic acid (VPA), inhibitors of histone deacetylase.Then reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) , quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot were used to detect the expression of FMR1 NB and pyrosequencing was used to detect the methylation of FMR1NB promoter.Results Compared with the blank control group, DAC and its combination with TSA and VPA significantly induced the expression of FMR1NB mRNA and protein in Cal27 and SCC-9 cells.Compared with DAC alone group, FMR1NB mRNA expression of each DAC-combined drug groups significantly increased, but FMR1NB protein did not significantly change in Cal27 cells; for SCC-9 cells, except for DAC+TSA group, the mRNA and protein levels of FMR1NB significantly increased in all other groups.In addition, there was no signifi-cant difference in the expression of FMR1 NB mRNA and protein between the three-combined drugs group and two-combined drugs groups.Further methylation assay showed that the methylation level of the overall FMR1NB promot-er and its each CpG site measured were reduced to varying degrees in all treatment groups except for three-combina-tion drug group of SCC-9.Conclusion DAC and its combination with TSA and VPA can enhance the expression of FMR1NB by mediating the demethylation of FMR1NB promoter, wherein the enhanced expression effect of the com-bination of the two drugs is stronger, suggesting that they have the potential to weaken the heterogeneity of FMR1NB expression and improve the immunotherapy effect of oral cancer.
