ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the current situation of pediatric pharmacist-managed clinic in China, and to provide reference for pediatric pharmacist-managed clinic construction and improvement. METHODS Domestic Children's hospitals, Women's & Children's Hospital, and general hospitals with pediatric unit were selected as the survey objects, questionnaires were distributed through the Wenjuanxing Application, and SPSS 26.0 was used to describe the data. The development of pediatric pharmacist-managed clinic, the qualification of visiting pharmacists, the situation of post training and training needs were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 101 valid questionnaires were collected. Pediatric pharmacist-managed clinics had been set up in 55(54.5%) hospitals, of which 35 were independent pharmacists' clinics, and most had well medical document and patient management processes. However, about 70% of hospitals did not charge registration fees, and more than half of hospitals had fewer than 5 patient-visits per day. 85.5% of the hospitals were visited by clinical pharmacists, and about half of them were senior clinical pharmacists with more than 10 years of working experience. But only 3.6% of visiting pharmacists had the right of specific prescription. In 101 hospitals relevant post training for pharmacists had been carried out in 36 hospitals, of which 25 hospitals had set up pharmacist-managed clinic. In addition to pharmaceutical expertise, more than 50% of pharmacists had a strong demand for the improvement of physician-patient communication and problem-solving ability, and 30%-40% of the demand was focused on the collection of medication history, psychological counseling ability, and case-based learning in the pharmacist-managed clinic. CONCLUSION At present, the domestic pediatric pharmacist-managed clinic shows a vigorous development trend, however, there are insufficient registration fees, visits, and post training. Appropriate service methods of pediatric pharmacist-managed clinic should be actively explored, and a pediatric specialized training system for should be well constructed to improve the competency.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of porcine large intestine-processed Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) on defecation in constipation model mice and the possible mechanism. MethodsFifty Kunming mice were randomized to blank group (n=10) and model group (n=40). Loperamide suspension at the dose of 8 mg/(kg·d) was given by gavage for four consecutive days to establish a model of constipation. The 24 successfully modeled mice were randomly divided into model group, processed Dahuang group, lactulose group, raw Dahuang group, with six mice in each group. Moreover, six randomly selected mice were chosen as control group. Since the fifth day, 8 mg/(kg·d) of loperamide suspension by gavage was given to the model group, processed Dahuang group, raw Dahuang group, and lactulose group; two hours later, the processed and raw Dahuang groups were administered with 0.6 g/(kg·d) of processed and raw Dahuang suspension, respectively, while the lactulose group was given 0.6 g/(kg·d) of latulose suspension, and the blank group and the model group were given 0.2 ml/10 g of distilled water by gavage, all for four days. The general condition, body weight after the last gavage, number of fecal particles within six hours, fecal wet weight, fecal water content ratio, intestinal propulsion rate and colonic histology changes by HE staining of each group were detected. ResultsThe body weight of the mice in the raw Dahuang group was significantly lighter than that in the other groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The number of fecal particles, fecal wet weight and intestinal propulsion rate of mice significantly decreased in the model group than in the blank group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared to those in the model group, the number of fecal particles and fecal wet weight in the processed Dahuang group, lactulose group and raw Dahuang group significantly increased, and the fecal water content ratio in the raw Dahuang group increased as well (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared to those in the processed Dahuang group, the number of fecal particles and fecal wet weight in the raw Dahuang group decreased, while the fecal water content ratio increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the fecal water content ratio in the lactulose group increased significantly (P<0.05). The intestinal propulsion rate in the processed Dahuang group was higher than that in the model group, lactulose group and raw Dahuang group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Histopathological analysis showed that the colonic crypts and goblet cells in the blank group were normal and clear, and the colonic muscular layer was thicker. The colonic crypts of the mice in the model group were damaged, with reduced goblet cells to varying degrees and changed colonic muscularis. In the lactulose group and raw Dahuang group, part of the crypts were broken, and the goblet cells were damaged to varying degrees, while in the processed Dahuang group, still the colonic tissue structure of the mice was relatively clear, and the colonic crypts and goblet cells were relatively normal, with thickened muscular layer of the colon. ConclusionPorcine large intestine-processed Dahuang could improve defecation in constipation model mice, and reduce the drastic purgation function of raw Dahuang, for which the mechanism may be related to the protection of colon histopathological damage.

ObjectiveTo compare the diagnostic accuracy of five different weighting methods of Chinese medicine syndrome and then analyze their diagnostic efficacy and characteristics, by taking Diagnostic Standard for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with Dampeness-heat Syndrome (abbreviated as diagnostic standard) as an example. MethodsData from expert questionnaire on the diagnostic standard and a cross-sectional survey of 1021 patients were collected. The comparative diagnostic test accuracy (CDTA) method was used to calculate the area under the ROC curve (AUC), area under the PR curve (AUPR), accuracy (ACC), sensitivity, and specificity of five commonly used weighting methods in two categories, including knowledge-driven weighting methods (expert scoring synthesis method, analytic hierarchy process, and precedence chart method) and data-driven weighting methods (logistic regression contribution method and entropy weighting method). ResultsAmong 1021 patients with T2DM, 389 cases were diagnosed as dampness-heat syndrome. The expert scoring synthesis method, analytic hierarchy process method, and precedence chart method were basically consistent in the weight scores of each item. The expert scoring comprehensive method, analytic hierarchy process method, and entropy weighting method have a smaller difference in the weight scores of each item, while there was larger difference in the weight scores of each item of the precedence chart method and the logistic regression contribution method. The AUC (95% CI), AUPR, ACC, sensitivity, and specifi-city of the expert scoring synthesis method were 0.913 (0.893, 0.932), 0.851, 0.870, 0.868 and 0.875, respectively; while those of the analytic hierarchy process method were 0.910 (0.890, 0.930), 0.838, 0.879, 0.848 and 0.896; of the precedence chart method were 0.919 (0.900, 0.937), 0.858, 0.875, 0.871 and 0.875; of the logistic regression contribution method were 0.867 (0.842, 0.891), 0.792, 0.853, 0.769 and 0.898; and of the entropy weighting method were 0.895 (0.873, 0.916), 0.820, 0.869, 0.802 and 0.908. ConclusionThe knowledge-driven weighting methods are better than the data-driven weighting methods in terms of diagnostic efficacy and reflecting expert experience.
