OBJECTIVE To formulate Guidelines for the standardized implementation of pharmacist-managed clinics （ 2026 edition ） in response to the challenges faced by such clinics in China， including uneven development， large discrepancies in service specifications， insufficient patient awareness， and limited medical insurance coverage. METHODS Led by the Pharmaceutical Affairs Professional Committee of the Chinese Hospital Association， the Evidence-based Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association， and the Hospital Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Cross-strait Medical and Health Exchange Association， a total of 19 domestic hospital pharmacy experts were organized. Through a systematic review of national policies and literature research， current practical experience was summarized. Consensus on the contents of the guidelines was reached after in-depth discussions. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS The guidelines covered five sections： definition and connotation of pharmacist-managed clinics， establishment requirements， implementation and management， post competency， and practical research. Firstly， the definition and connotation included three operational forms of pharmacist-managed clinics （independent mode， physician-pharmacist joint mode， and online pharmacist-managed clinic mode） and classified service modes （specialty-specific， drug-specific， and disease-specific pharmacist-managed clinics）. The establishment requirements were further refined， covering system construction （pharmaceutical service management system， quality control and assessment mechanism）， personnel qualifications （professional credentials， continuing education and professional training， etc）， service recipients， as well as service venues and facilities. Subsequently， the implementation and management of pharmacist-managed clinics were proposed， involving service procedures， intervention measures， documentation and records， patient education and follow-up， humanistic care， as well as risk management and quality control. Finally， post competency encompassed the competency requirements for pharmacists providing services in pharmacist-managed clinics， as well as the suggestions on teaching methods； practical research encouraged the conduct of high-quality pharmaceutical practice in the setting of pharmacist-managed clinics. The guidelines provide valuable guidance for the standardized implementation of pharmacist-managed clinics in China in terms of establishment， management， teaching， and research， fill the guideline gap in this field， and can promote the high-quality development of pharmacist-managed clinics.

As the core vehicle for preserving and transmitting traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） academic thought and clinical experience， the establishment of a robust quality evaluation system for TCM clinical case reports is a crucial component in the current standardization and modernization of TCM. Based on the practical experience of constructing the China Clinical Cases Library of Traditional Chinese Medicine by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， this study conducted a comprehensive analysis of critical challenges， including insufficient authenticity and unfocused evaluation criteria. It proposed a three-dimensional evaluation framework grounded in the structure-process-outcome logic， encompassing three dimensions of authenticity and standardization， characteristics and advantages， application and translational impact. This framework integrated 12 key evaluation indicators in a systematic manner. The model preserved the academic characteristics of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment， while aligning with modern scientific research standards， achieving a balance between individualized TCM experience and standardized evaluation. Concurrently， this study provided theoretical foundations and methodological guidance for evaluating the quality of TCM clinical cases， contributing significantly to the inheritance of TCM knowledge， evidence-based practice， and the reform of talent evaluation mechanisms.

Background: The genetic basis for hyperglycaemia in pregnancy remain unclear. This study aimed to uncover the genetic determinants of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and investigate their applications. Methods: We performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for GDM in Chinese women (464 cases and 1,217 controls), followed by de novo replications in an independent Chinese cohort (564 cases and 572 controls) and in silico replication in European (12,332 cases and 131,109 controls) and multi-ethnic populations (5,485 cases and 347,856 controls). A polygenic risk score (PRS) was derived based on the identified variants. Results: Using the genome-wide scan and candidate gene approaches, we identified four susceptibility loci for GDM. These included three previously reported loci for GDM and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at MTNR1B (rs7945617, odds ratio [OR], 1.64; 95% confidence interval [CI],1.38 to 1.96]), CDKAL1 (rs7754840, OR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.58), and INS-IGF2-KCNQ1 (rs2237897, OR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.23 to 1.79), as well as a novel genome-wide significant locus near TBR1-SLC4A10 (rs117781972, OR, 2.05; 95% CI, 1.61 to 2.62; Pmeta=7.6×10-9), which has not been previously reported in GWAS for T2DM or glycaemic traits. Moreover, we found that women with a high PRS (top quintile) had over threefold (95% CI, 2.30 to 4.09; Pmeta=3.1×10-14) and 71% (95% CI, 1.08 to 2.71; P=0.0220) higher risk for GDM and abnormal glucose tolerance post-pregnancy, respectively, compared to other individuals. Conclusion Our results indicate that the genetic architecture of glucose metabolism exhibits both similarities and differences between the pregnant and non-pregnant states. Integrating genetic information can facilitate identification of pregnant women at a higher risk of developing GDM or later diabetes.

BACKGROUND:It has been shown that Gushukang affects bone metabolism by regulating nucleotide and amino acid metabolism and immune mechanisms.Current research on the mechanism of Gushukang in the treatment of osteoporosis primarily focuses on osteoblast regulation and requires further improvement from the perspective of osteoclasts. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the mechanism by which Gushukang interferes with osteoclasts in the treatment of osteoporosis using RAW264.7 cells as the research model. METHODS:Twenty-four 8-week-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups(n=6 per group):the three experimental groups were given 1,2 and 4 g/kg osteoporosis solution by gavage(2 times per day),and the control group was given an equal amount of distilled water by gavage(2 times per day).After 7 days of intragastric administration,aortic blood samples were extracted to collect serum samples using centrifugation,and serum samples from the same groups were combined to obtain the low-,medium-,and high-concentration Gushukang-containing and normal sera for the subsequent experiments.(1)RAW264.7 cells were cultured in six groups:normal serum was added to the control group;low,medium,and high concentration groups were added with low,medium,and high concentrations of Gushukang-containing serum,respectively;ML385,a nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)inhibitor was given in the Nrf2 inhibitor group;and t-BHQ,a Nrf2 activator,was added in the Nrf2 activator group.Cell viability was detected using the cell counting kit-8 assay.(2)The 3rd generation RAW 264.7 cells were cultured and divided into five groups:the blank control group was added with normal serum,the osteoclast group was added with receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand(RANKL),and the low-,medium-,and high-concentration groups were added with low-,medium-,and high-concentration Gushukang-containing serum based on the addition of RANKL.Tartrate-resistant acid phosphate staining was performed after 5 days of culture.(3)RAW264.7 cells were cultured and divided into five groups:blank control group was cultured with normal serum,osteoclast group cultured with normal serum and RANKL,high concentration+osteoclast group cultured with RANKL+high concentration Gushukang-containing serum,osteoclast+Nrf2 agonist group cultured with RANKL+t-BHQ,and high concentration+osteoclast+Nrf2 inhibitor group cultured with RANKL+high concentration Gushukang-containing serum+ML385.Western blot assay and determination of reactive oxygen content were performed after 5 days of culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The cell counting kit-8 results indicated that Gushukang-containing serum,NRF2 inhibitor or agonist had no significant effect on RAW264.7 cell viability.Tartrate-resistant acid phosphate staining results demonstrated that Gushukang-containing serum exhibited a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on osteoclast differentiation.Western blot analysis and determination of reactive oxygen species revealed that compared with the blank control group,Nrf2 protein expression was decreased in the osteoclast group(P<0.05),while c-Fos and NFATc1 protein expression and reactive oxygen species content were elevated(P<0.05);compared with the osteoclast group,Nrf2 protein expression was elevated and reactive oxygen species content was decreased in the high-concentration+osteoclast group,osteoclast+Nrf2 agonist group,and high-concentration+osteoclast+Nrf2 inhibitor group(P<0.05),while c-Fos and NFATc1 protein expression was decreased in the high concentration+osteoclast group and osteoclast+Nrf2 agonist group(P<0.05);compared with the high concentration+osteoclast group,Nrf2 protein expression was decreased(P<0.05)and reactive oxygen species content was elevated(P<0.05)in the high concentration+osteoclast+Nrf2 inhibitor group.To conclude,Gushukang reduces reactive oxygen species production by activating Nrf2,thereby inhibiting downstream of the c-Fos/NFATc1 pathway and suppressing osteoclast differentiation.

Laboratory animals are essential in scientific research and experimental teaching in colleges and universities. Disciplines such as life sciences, medicine, pharmacy, chemistry, and biomedical engineering heavily rely on animal experiments. The standardized barrier environmental facility for laboratory animals provides a fundamental platform for stable, scientific, and reliable animal experiment results. Rigorous access management for such facilities is a vital safeguard for maintaining standardized operations of facilities, controlling the quality and stability of laboratory animals, mitigating pathogen contamination risks among animals and laboratory staff, and preventing biosecurity incidents such as zoonotic disease outbreaks. Taking the small-scale barrier facilities for laboratory rats and mice at Nanjing University's Xianlin Campus, operational since 2019, as an example, this study focuses on the safety access management system of these facilities. Based on five years of operational data and accumulated experience in studying and optimizing the access management system, this study, from the perspectives of management system development and the formulation and implementation of standard operating procedures, reviews five aspects of access management: personnel access, animals access, material access, equipment access, and air circulation control. Furthermore, these aspects are systematically analyzed and summarized to serve as a reference for the construction and management of the laboratory animal facilities in universities, while also contributing to scientific research, public health security, and the well-being of experimental personnel.

The global prevalence of diabetes among adults is increasing year by year,with diabetes mellitus type 2(T2DM)being the most common form.T2DM is a chronic disease characterized by insulin resistance and insufficient insulin secretion,often accompanied by disturbances in glucose,protein,and lipid metabolism.Impaired wound healing is one of the major complications of T2DM.Studies have shown that wound healing in T2DM patients are regulated by macrophages and are closely related to their phenotype,activity,and abundance.Macrophages of different phenotypes play distinct roles in various stages of T2DM wound healing:M1 macrophages are involved in the early inflammatory response and pathogen clearance,while M2 macrophages contribute to anti-inflammatory responses and wound repair during later stages.Dysregulation of macrophage phenotype switching affects wound inflammatory response,skin cell function,and extracellular matrix(ECM)synthesis,ultimately leading to impaired healing.Significant progress has been made in understanding the interactions between macrophage metabolic changes and phenotype switching,and this dynamic relationship might play a synergistic role in regulating the wound healing process in T2DM.This review summarizes the functional roles of macrophages in both normal and T2DM-associated wound healing,discusses alterations in glucose,lipid,and amino acid metabolism in macrophages under pathological conditions,and explores how these metabolic shifts regulate wound healing.Furthermore,it examines the therapeutic potential of targeting macrophage metabolism to improve wound healing outcomes.

Objective Using event-related potentials(ERPs)technology to study the effect of long term emotional distress on selective attention distraction inhibition function in college students and its neuroelectrophysiological mechanism.Methods The Eysenck personality questionnaire(EPQ)adult version was used to screen the high and low neuroticism groups among college students,and 35 subjects in each group were included in the long term emotional distress group and the emotional smoothness control group,respectively,and the response time,correct rate,N2 and P3 amplitude and latency results of the participants to complete the negative priming paradigm task were collected and analyzed.Results Compared with the control group,① the long term emotional distress group showed a prolonged response trend(P=0.072).② the long term emotional distress group had a prolonged N2 and P3 latency(P<0.05).Conclusion Selective attention distraction inhibition in college students with long term emotional distress decreased,and the decline mechanism may be related to the decline of inhibition processing and attention resource allocation ability.

Objective To investigate the effect of Qi stagnation on inhibitory control function and its neuroelectrophysiological mechanism in college students.Methods The population of peace and Qi depression was screened from college students through the scale of"Classification and Judgment Criteria of Traditional Chinese Medicine Constitution",and 35 subjects were included in each group.Combined with event-related potential technology,the two groups were collected to complete the Flanker paradigm behavioral indicators(accuracy,response time)and EEG data indicators(amplitude and latency of N2 and P3 components),and the behavioral differences and neuroelectrophysiological mechanisms between the two groups under the Flanker paradigm were explored.Results Compared with the flat group,the reaction time of the gas depression group was longer(P=0.07).Compared with the consistent dondition,the reaction time was longer under the inconsistent condition(P<0.001),and the accuracy rate was lower under the inconsistent condition significantly(P<0.001).Compared with the peaceful group,the N2 amplitude of the air depression group was higher(P<0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the main effect of brain regions in the N2 latency period(P<0.001).Frontal lobe zero(Fz)in frontal region was greater than Frontal lobe central zero(FCz)in frontal region and greater than Central zero(Cz)in central region(P<0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the main effect of brain region(P<0.001).FCz in the frontal central region was significantly greater than that in the frontal region Fz(P<0.001),and the difference was statistically significant in the central region Cz was significantly greater than that in the frontal region(P<0.001).The incubation period of P3 component was significantly smaller than that of inconsistent stimulation(P<0.001).Conclusion Qi stagnation has a negative effect on the inhibitory control function of college students,and the decline of conflict monitoring and control ability is one of the possible mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression and clinical significance of Periostin in tissues of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS).METHODS Real-time quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect periostin expression in eosinophilic CRS with nasal polyps(ECRSwNP),non-eosinophilic CRS with nasal polyps(non-ECRSwNP),CRS without nasal polyps(CRSsNP),and control tissues.Correlations between periostin levels and blood eosinophil percentage(Eos%),Lund-Mackay score,modified endoscopic score,and Japanese epidemiological survey of refractory eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis(JESREC)score were analyzed.Additionally,changes in SNOT-22 and VAS scores were compared at different preoperative and postoperative times.The predictive value of periostin for ECRSwNP was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.RESULTS Periostin expression was detected in all groups(ECRSwNP,non-ECRSwNP,CRSsNP,and controls),with predominant localization in the basement membrane and mucosal subepithelial lamina propria.Significantly elevated periostin levels were detected in the ECRSwNP group compared to the other three groups(P<0.001).Furthermore,Periostin mRNA expression showed significant positive correlations with blood Eos%,JESREC score,and Lund-Mackay score.SNOT-22 and VAS scores were significantly elevated in the ECRSwNP group at preoperative evaluation and 9 months postoperatively(P<0.001).ROC curve analysis demonstrated that periostin had a substantial predictive value for ECRSwNP(AUC=0.957).CONCLUSION Periostin plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis,contributing to the diagnosis,severity assessment,and prognosis evaluation of ECRSwNP,while offering potential therapeutic targets for CRS management.

OBJECTIVE To compare the expression characteristics of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1),Smad2,Smad3,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)-related markers(E-cadherin,N-cadherin,vimentin)in patients with different types of chronic sinusitis(CRS),to analyze the correlations of E-cadherin,N-cadherin and vimentin with TGF-β1 and the prognosis of surgical treatment in patients with different types of CRS.METHODS The expressions of E-cadherin,N-cadherin,vimentin,TGF-β1,Smad2 and Smad3 in patients with different types of CRS and the control group were compared by Western blotting(WB)and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).Analyze its correlation with the improvement degree of each clinical score after the operation.RESULTS Compared with the control group,the expression of E-cadherin decreased in the CRSsNP group,the non-ECRSwNP group and the ECRSwNP group,while the expressions of vimentin and N-cadherin increased.The protein expression of TGF-β1 in the CRSsNP group was higher than that in the non-ECRSwNP group and the control group(P<0.001),and the expressions of Smad2 and Smad3 in the CRSsNP group were higher than those in the ECRSwNP group,the non-ECRSwNP group and the control group(P<0.001).In the CRSsNP group,there was a positive correlation between TGF-β1 and vimentin(r=0.675,P=0.011),and a negative correlation with E-cadherin(r=-0.802,P=0.001).The expression of E-cadherin was negatively correlated with the improvement amplitude of SNOT-22 nasal symptom scores in patients with different types of CRS(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The EMT phenomenon occurs in different types of CRS.In CRS SNPS,EMT may be related to the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway.The expressions of EMT markers E-cadherin,N-cadherin and vimentin are correlated with the decrease in the severity of postoperative disease in patients with CRS,suggesting a potential association between the EMT process and the surgical prognosis of patients with CRS.
