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.

Objective To investigate the carrying status and drug resistance analysis of pathogenic bacteria in the gut of healthy population in Huadu District,Guangzhou,and provide reference for epidemiological re-search.Methods A total of 337 459 anal swabs were directly isolated and cultured from healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations from 2018 to 2023.600 anal swabs from 2022 were randomly selected for multi pathogen nucleic acid testing,direct isolation and culture,and enrichment culture.Identification of bacteria was conducted by using VITEK 2 Compact and VITEK MS,serological testing was used for determi-nation of type,and drug susceptibility testing of pathogenic bacteria was conducted.Results A total of 128 pathogenic bacteria were isolated from rectal swabs,including 52 strains of Salmonella,71 strains of Aero-monas,3 strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus,and 2 strains of Shigella flexneri,with a total detection rate of 3.79/10 000.The detection rate of Salmonella in direct isolation and culture of 600 rectal swabs was 0.50％,the detection rate of enrichment culture was 1.00％,and the detection rate of multi-pathogen nucleic acid de-tection was 1.17％.52 strains of Salmonella were divided into 27 serotypes,and Salmonella Ⅰ 4,5,12:i:—was the dominant serotype.Aeromonas sobria was the dominant serotype in Aeromonas.The sensitivity of Salmonella to piperacillin/tazobactam,imipenem,cefepime,levofloxacin,and aztreonam was up to 92.00％or more,however,the phenomenon of multidrug resistance was severe,with a multidrug resistance rate as high as 40.38％.The resistance rate of Aeromonas to ampicillin and ampicillin/sulbactam was up to 85.00％or more,while Aeromonas was relatively sensitive to other antibiotics.Conclusion There are many species and types of intestinal pathogenic bacteria carried by healthy individuals in Huadu District,Guangzhou,with Aero-monas and Salmonella ranking first and second,and levofloxacin treatment could be preferred.The use of bac-terial culture and multi pathogen nucleic acid testing methods could improve the detection rate of intestinal pathogenic bacteria,and attention should be paid to the monitoring of intestinal pathogenic bacteria among rel-evant practitioners.

Objective:To analyze the key β-amyloid protein (Aβ) deposition in brain regions affecting the progression from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods:Based on the positron emission tomography data of Aβ in the Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative database, the penalized generalized estimating equation (PGEE) and the mixed effects regression forest algorithm (MERF) were used to conduct dimensionality reduction analysis on 164 brain regions with Aβ deposition. Additionally, a multivariate longitudinal data joint model was used to screen the key Aβ deposition brain regions that influence the progression from MCI to AD.Results:Five key brain regions were commonly screened out by the PGEE and MERF models, they were the right prefrontal orbital cortex, the left superior temporal sulcus shore cortex, the right medial orbitofrontal cortex, the left putamen, and the right transverse temporal cortex, respectively. The results of the multivariate longitudinal data joint model based on these 5 Aβ deposition brain regions showed that, except the left superior temporal sulcus shore cortex, the longitudinal change trajectories of the other 4 Aβ deposition brain regions all affected the progression from MCI to AD ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The Aβ deposition in the right prefrontal orbital cortex, right medial orbitofrontal cortex, left putamen and right transverse temporal cortex affect the progression from MCI to AD.

Objective To compare the effectiveness of cobalt chloride test papers and borescope in evaluating the drying of endoscopes,providing a reference for clinical selection of appropriate assessment tools.Methods 10 gastroscopes and 10 colonoscopes procedures were selected from November 2023 to March 2024 for circulation experiments.After endoscope reprocessing,they were randomly divided into five groups with different drying times(30 s,3 min,6 min,9 min,and 12 min)with 200 samples.Cobalt chloride test paper and borescope were used to evaluate the drying effectiveness.Results The qualified rate of gastrointestinal endoscope by borescope was significantly higher than that by cobalt chloride test paper,but cobalt chloride test paper was obviously better than that by borescope in convenience and cost-effectiveness.The borescope had the function of visualization,and the quantitative positioning observation of residual droplets showed that there were a large number of droplets left after gastrointestinal endoscope drying for 30 s,and the number of droplets was obviously reduced after drying for 3 min.Among them,the gastroscope was mainly light(1～5 drops/strip)and none(0 drops/strip),and the colonoscope was mainly moderate(6～10 drops/strip)and light droplets.Compared with different drying times,there was a significant statistical difference in the number of residual droplets in the endoscope(P<0.01),and the localized droplets mainly remained in the distal bending part and the proximal bifurcation part of the lumen.Conclusion Both cobalt chloride test papers and borescope are important methods for assessing endoscope drying efficacy,each with its own advantages and limitations.Clinicians can use both methods in combination to comprehensively evaluate the overall dryness of endoscopes,thereby ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the endoscope reprocessing process.

[Objective] To establish a cryopreservation protocol for small-volume (≤1 mL) red blood cells (RBCs) and to evaluate the reactivity and stability of blood group antigens after cryopreservation, so as to explore its potential application in immunohematology reference laboratories. [Methods] Small-volume RBCs were cryopreserved for 120 days, followed by thawing and deglycerolization to restore the RBC components. The quality of the RBCs was assessed. Serum antibodies were serially diluted and reacted with RBCs before and after cryopreservation, and agglutination scores were recorded to quantitatively evaluate the reactivity and stability of blood group antigens such as Rh, Duffy, Lewis, Kidd, M, and H. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the percentage and mean fluorescence intensity of ABO antigen expression on RBCs before and after cryopreservation to assess the usability of cryopreserved RBCs in flow immunophenotyping and blood group subtype studies. [Results] The hemolysis rate of thawed and deglycerolized RBCs was (0.27±0.10)%, with a supernatant free hemoglobin level of (0.52±0.14) g/L, and the RBC recovery rate was (69.12±7.91)%. The direct antiglobulin test (DAT) was negative for all thawed RBCs. There was no difference in the reactivity of blood group antigens before and after cryopreservation, and no difference in the percentage and mean fluorescence intensity of A and B antigen expression on RBCs before and after cryopreservation. [Conclusion] The small-volume RBC cryopreservation protocol can be applied to immunohematology analysis in reference laboratories and is expected to be widely used in blood group identification, antibody screening, identification, and blood group-related research.

BACKGROUND:Apoptosis plays an important role in secondary brain injury.Therefore,to explore the pathophysiological mechanism of promoting nerve cell survival after traumatic brain injury provides a new direction and theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of traumatic brain injury. OBJECTIVE:To explore the expression changes of Lnx1 molecule in mammalian cortical neurons after brain injury and the possible mechanism involved in secondary brain injury. METHODS:Eighty adult SD rats were divided into 20 male and 20 female mice in sham operation group and 20 male and 20 female mice in traumatic brain injury group.The traumatic brain injury rat model was established by heavy falling method.At 6,12,24,48,and 72 hours after brain injury,the expression of related molecules in damaged cortical neurons was analyzed by RT-qPCR,western blot assay,and immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The brain tissue of traumatic brain injury group was bleeding and obvious tissue injury could be observed.Water content of brain tissue increased after traumatic brain injury.(2)Compared with the sham operation group,the expression of Lnx1 in cortical neurons after traumatic brain injury increased significantly at 24 hours after injury.(3)After traumatic brain injury,the expression of PBK and BCR protein decreased,and the pro-survival factor ctgf increased.(4)These findings suggest that after traumatic brain injury,the expression of Lnx1 is up-regulated in neurons,which may be due to the decrease of the expression of its target molecules PBK and BCR,and further promote the expression of living factor ctgf,which has a protective effect on the damaged neurons.

Objective:To describe the distribution characteristics of alcohol consumption in adult twins in the Chinese National Twin Registry (CNTR), and further explore the influence of genetic factors on alcohol consumption in adult twins.Methods:The subjects of the study were twins registered by CNTR in 11 project areas across China from 2010 to 2018. A total of 56 966 twins (28 483 pairs) aged 18 years and above who answered questions about drinking behavior were included, and the random effect model was used to describe the population and regional distribution characteristics of alcohol consumption. Intra-pair analysis was performed to calculate the concordance rate and heritability of their alcohol consumption.Results:The age of all subjects was (36.6±12.0) years, and current drinkers accounted for 16.6% (9 461/56 966) of all subjects. In men, those aged 50-59 years, those in northern China, those living in rural area, those with low education level and those with high BMI, the proportions of current drinkers were higher. After excluding 468 pairs of twins who had stopped alcohol use and 21 764 pairs of twins who had no drink or had small amount drink, an intra-pair analysis was conducted in 4 929 pairs of same-sex twins, and found that the concordance rate of alcohol consumption was 64.0% (2 059/3 215) in monozygotic twins, and 52.6% (902/1 714) in dizygotic twins, the difference was significant ( P<0.001), and the heritability of alcohol consumption was 24.1% (95% CI: 18.9%- 29.3%). The further stratified analysis found that in southern men, the heritability was highest in those aged 40-49 years (36.1%, 95% CI: 21.6%-50.7%), while in northern men, the heritability was highest in those aged 50-59 years (34.2%, 95% CI: 18.1%-50.3%). Conclusions:In adult twins in China, there were population and regional differences in the distribution of alcohol consumption behavior, and alcohol consumption was influenced by genetic factors, and gender, age and region had potential modifying effects.

Objective:To investigate the short-term pulmonary function outcomes in children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) following surgery and analyze the influencing factors of poor outcomes.Methods:This study retrospectively enrolled 81 children who had undergone surgery for CDH and were discharged after recovery at the Department of Neonatal Surgery, Children's Hospital of Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2020 to June 2023. All children had pulmonary function tests before discharge, 6 months to 2 year after discharge. Changes in the pulmonary function parameters at different time points were compared. Based on the results of the final pulmonary function test after discharge, these patients were categorized into a favorable outcome group (32 cases) with normal pulmonary function and an unfavorable outcome group (49 cases) with pulmonary dysfunction. Clinical data of the two groups were compared using two independent samples t-test, rank-sum test, Chi-square test, or Fisher's exact test. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the factors influencing pulmonary function outcomes. Results:A total of 81 cured and discharged CDH children were included in this study, comprising 34 males (42.0%) and 47 females (58.0%). The first two pulmonary function tests were performed at a mean postnatal age of (30.1±14.1) d (14-75 d) and (8.3±1.3) months (4 months and 14 d to 12 months), respectively. Pre-discharge pulmonary function tests revealed that 13 cases (16.0%) had nearly normal pulmonary function, while 68 cases (84.0%) showed pulmonary function abnormalities with seven cases of restrictive ventilatory dysfunction, 56 cases of obstructive ventilatory dysfunction, and five cases of mixed ventilatory dysfunction. In the children with abnormal pulmonary function before discharge, their second pulmonary function tests showed that some parameters including tidal volume [(7.49±1.35) ml/kg vs. (8.02±2.21) ml/kg], the ratio of time to peak tidal expiratory flow and expiratory time [(23.21±4.95)% vs. (26.50±5.48)%], the ratio of volume to peak expiratory flow and expiratory volume [(26.41±5.79)% vs. (27.55±5.20)%], respiratory system compliance per kg body weight during single occlusion [(0.93±0.22) ml/(cmH 2O·kg) vs. (0.96±0.25) ml/(cmH 2O·kg), 1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa], functional residual capacity [(52.18±17.83) ml vs. (126.39±26.73) ml], and respiratory system resistance in single occlusion condition [(0.06±0.02) cmH 2O/(ml·s) vs. (0.05±0.01) cmH 2O/(ml·s)] improved after discharge ( t values were－2.41,－6.14,－7.68,－2.26,－18.94, and 4.87, all P<0.05). Eight children with obstructive ventilatory dysfunction were followed up for two years after surgery, of which three had normal lung function and five still showed mild to moderate obstructive ventilatory dysfunction. Logistic regression analysis indicated that liver herniation, severe pulmonary hypertension (PH), low observed-to-expected lung-to-head ratio (o/e LHR), grade C/D diaphragmatic defect, and prolonged invasive ventilation were risk factors for poor pulmonary outcomes [ OR(95% CI) were 5.655(1.410-22.676), 5.610 (1.589-19.804),4.183 (1.234-14.180) and 1.195(1.074- 1.329), all P<0.05]. Conclusions:Although lung function parameters of CDH patients show certain improvement after surgery, many children still have mild to moderate obstructive ventilatory dysfunction, requiring long-term follow-up. Prenatal and postnatal indicators such as liver herniation, severe PH, and low o/e LHR can predict the pulmonary outcomes of children with CDH.

Objective: To retrospectively analyze the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among voluntary blood donors in Qinghai Province over a ten-year period and to provide evidence for refining blood safety screening strategies. Methods: Blood samples from 362 066 blood donors in Qinghai collected between January 2015 and April 2024 were simultaneously screened using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and nucleic acid testing (NAT). Follow-up was conducted for donors with reactive HCV RNA screening results, and alanine transaminase (ALT) was detected by rate method. Results: The HCV positive rate among blood donors in Qinghai was 0.22%. Gender, marital status, number of blood donations, and educational level were associated with HCV infection. Significant differences in HCV positive rates were observed among donors across regions and ethnic groups. The HCV positive rate among donors in Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (with an average altitude of 4 330 m) was significantly higher than that in Xining (0.52% vs 0.21%, P<0.001). Positivity rates were also significantly higher in Salar (0.84%), Hui (0.81%), Zang (0.60%), and Tu (0.45%) ethnic groups compared to the Han ethnic group (0.17%) (P<0.001). The abnormal rate of ALT in HCV-positive donors was higher than in non-HCV donors (6.13% vs 1.55%) (P<0.001). Conclusion: The relatively high HCV positivity rate among blood donors in Qinghai highlights the need for further investigation into viral sources, risk factors, and transmission routes. Optimized screening strategies are essential to ensure blood safety.
