OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical efficacy of integrating pharmacists into family health teams (FHTs) for long-term medication therapeutical management (MTM) in stroke patients, and empirically evaluate the service model. METHODS A pharmacist team, jointly established by clinical and community pharmacists from the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”), developed a pharmacist-supported MTM model integrated into FHTs. Using a prospective randomized controlled design, 170 stroke patients discharged from our hospital (July 2022-December 2023) and enrolled in FHTs at Suzhou Runda Community Hospital were randomly divided into trial group (88 cases) and control group (82 cases) according to random number table. The control group received routine FHTs care (without pharmacist involvement in the team collaboration), while the trial group xhz8405@126.com received 12-month MTM services supported by pharmacists via an information platform. These services specifically included innovative interventions such as personalized medication regimen optimization based on the MTM framework, dynamic medication adherence management, medication safety monitoring, a home medication assessment system, and distinctive service offerings. Outcomes of the 2 grousp were compared before and after intervention, involving medication adherence (adherence rate, adherence score), compliance rates for stroke recurrence risk factors [blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)], and incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADR). RESULTS After 12 months, the trial group exhibited significantly higher medication adherence rates, improved adherence scores, higher compliance rates for blood pressure and LDL-C targets compared to the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of ADR in the trial group (4.55%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (8.11%), though the difference was not statistically significant (P> 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Pharmacist involvement in FHTs to deliver MTM services significantly enhances medication adherence and optimizes risk factor for stroke recurrence, offering practical evidence for advancing pharmaceutical care in chronic disease management under the family doctor system.

Pulmonary sarcoidosis is an immune system disease with an unclear etiology. Guided by the yang-reinforcing method, it is believed that the fundamental pathogenesis of pulmonary sarcoidosis lies in the disharmony between water and fire and the reckless movement of the ministerial fire. The failure of the spleen and stomach to maintain warmth, leading to the production of phlegm and blood stasis, is an important pathogenesis. The invasion of external pathogenic toxins, deeply penetrating into the interior, is considered a triggering factor for the disease. The treatment focuses on supplementing the yang, consolidating the kidney, drawing fire back to its source, warming the yang, benefiting the kidney, and nourishing the spleen to generate metal. It also emphasizes unblocking the yang, transforming turbidity, and eliminating phlegm and blood stasis.

Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor with complex pathological mechanisms, a low early diagnosis rate, and a high mortality rate. However, surgical treatment, targeted therapy, and chemotherapy have their treatment limitations and toxic side effects. Therefore, exploring the pathogenesis and mechanism of gastric cancer and finding effective treatment methods are important. At present, researches has found that tumor epithelial cells exhibit individual differences in molecular characteristics and exhibit metabolic heterogeneity that affects cell phenotype and function. The interaction between metabolites and cytokines can inhibit the formation of the tumor immune microenvironment and promote malignant progression. Therefore, metabolic reprogramming is regarded as a key feature of tumors and plays an important role in the process of tumor occurrence and development. However, the continuous deterioration of gastric cancer may be closely related to changes in the energy metabolism of cancer cells. Gastric cancer cells may regulate the dysregulation of synthesis or decomposition pathways such as glucose metabolism, amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, and nucleotide metabolism and activate associated signaling pathways, key proteins, and genes, leading to proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of cancer cells. In recent years, there has been a close relationship between the effective intervention by traditional Chinese medicine in gastric cancer and the regulation of metabolic reprogramming. There has been some progress in the intervention research on effective ingredients and formulas of traditional Chinese medicine for cancer. This article summarized existing Chinese and foreign literature on how gastric cancer cells affect disease progression by regulating their related metabolic networks, such as glucose metabolism, amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, and nucleotide metabolism, as well as how effective ingredients and formulas of traditional Chinese medicine enhance anti-tumor effects through targeted metabolism. It reviewed metabolic reprogramming intervention in gastric cancer, providing a reference for research on metabolic reprogramming regulation by traditional Chinese medicine and new targets and strategies for the treatment and prognosis of gastric cancer.

Refractory chronic cough belongs to the category of "refractory cough" in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is believed that the root cause of intractable chronic cough is wind lodging in the spleen collaterals, with poor spleen yang and deficient kidney essence as the pathologic basis of the disease, which is present throughout the disease. The method advocated is to search the spleen collaterals and eliminate latent wind, warm the spleen yang and smooth the middle jiao, cultivate the kidney essence and consolidate the root, prescribed with modified Fuzi Lizhong Decoction (附子理中汤) plus Erxian Decoction (二仙汤) as the basis. The Fuzi Lizhong Decoction can warm yang and fortify the middle, and smooth the middle jiao, and the Erxian Decoction can cultivate the kidney essence and consolidate the innate. The two prescriptions could combine with Suye (Perilla frutescens), Jingjie (Dysphania ambrosioides), Fangfeng (Carum carvi) and other medicinals of cleaning characteristic, or combine with Gouteng (Uncaria rhynchophylla), Chuanshanlong (Dioscorea nipponica), Dilong (Kummerowia striata) and other medicinals of worm or cane category, to find the wind and expel pathogen, smooth spleen collaterals.

This article is based on ZHANG Jingyue's theory of yin-yang holism to explore the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of acute exacerbation of rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). It is believed that the foundation of acute exacerbation of RA-ILD lies in real yin insufficiency and yin fail to control yang; external pathogen attacking is a common cause of acute exacerbation of RA-ILD. For treatment, it is important to first suppress ministerial fire by prescribing modified Yinhuo Decoction (引火汤); if ministerial fire submerged, focus should be on nourishing both yin and yang; if real yin deficiency is the main issue, modified Zuogui Pill (左归丸) should be used; if real yang deficiency is prominent as well, modified Yougui Pill (右归丸) can be chosen. When yin and yang balanced, the disease could be solved.

Objective:Through comprehensive analysis of symptoms and signs, biochemistry, imaging, and dynamic tests, to explore the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of thyrotropin-secreting pituitary adenoma(TSH adenoma) and syndrome of resistance to thyroid hormone(RTH).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 14 patients who visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2016 to September 2022, exhibiting elevated levels of free thyroxine(FT4) and free triiodothyronine(FT3) in the presence of increased TSH.Results:There were 7 cases of TSH adenoma and 7 cases of RTH, with the average age of diagnosis at 40.0 years and 26.6 years, respectively. Thirteen patients showed thyrotoxicosis or occasional palpitation, some with pituitary occupancy manifestations or abnormal growth and development; One patient presented with neck thickening. Sex hormone binding globulin was elevated in 3 cases of TSH adenoma. Pituitary magnetic resonance imaging showed that all 7 cases of TSH adenoma were macroadenomas and 1 case of RTH was microadenoma. The octreotide suppression test in 13 patients was inhibited, but there was a significant difference in the inhibition rate of 24 h/2 h TSH inhibition rate of TSH adenoma and RTH, ranging from 46.6% to 83.9% and 4.6% to 28.8% respectively. Six cases of RTH had thyroid hormone receptor β mutation.Conclusion:Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of thyrotropin is a rare condition, mainly including TSH adenoma and RTH. The diagnosis and differentiation of the two conditions require comprehensive assessment incorporating family history, symptoms and signs, laboratory tests, dynamic test, and genetic test. Among these, the 24 h/2 h TSH inhibition rate of octreotide suppression test can effectively distinguish TSH adenoma from RTH.
