OBJECTIVE To establish a Chinese drug-related problem (DRP) classification system applicable to pharmacist-led pharmaceutical care in China, providing pharmacists with an effective and practical tool for pharmaceutical care. METHODS A multi-stage process was employed to construct the DRP classification system, including literature review and analysis, comparison of existing classification systems, refinement of classification items and framework development, two rounds of standard case validation, expert discussion, and system revision. The Fleiss′ kappa test was used to calculate the consistency coefficient κ, assessing the reliability of pharmacists participating in evaluating the classification system. An electronic questionnaire comprising six items was employed to evaluate the system’s applicability. RESULTS The constructed Chinese DRP classification system comprised six sections [problem(including potential problems), DRP evaluation, cause (including possible causes of potential problems), intervention, acceptance of intervention and DRP status], with 24 primary codes and 96 secondary codes. In the first round of case validation, κ values exceeded 0.4 for all sections except “intervention” and “DRP status”. In the second round, κ values exceeded 0.4 for all sections. In the applicability evaluation of the classification system, positive ratings (“strongly agree” or “agree”) exceeded 85% for all items. Specifically, positive ratings for“the classification system can provide appropriate category selection”,“ the classification system is comprehensive”,“ the classification system is convenient to use” and “the classification system is highly satisfactory” exceeded 92%. CONCLUSIONS The Chinese DRP classification system developed demonstrates both high reliability and applicability, providing an effective and practical classification tool for pharmacists in China to conduct pharmaceutical care.

Nitrogen oxides(NOx=NO+NO2)are important precursors of ozone(O3),and NOx and its oxides together constitute reactive nitrogen oxides(NOy)in the atmosphere.A comprehensive understanding of the total NOy level in the atmosphere is of great significance for a deeper understanding of the atmospheric nitrogen cycle and oxidation,as well as for formulating strategies for air pollution prevention and control.In this work,a thermal decomposition-broadband cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy(TD-BBCEAS)technique for online measurement of total NOy in the atmosphere was developed.With this method,the NOy was efficiently converted into NO2,and the total NOy concentration in the atmosphere was indirectly obtained by measuring NO2.Focusing on the key factors affecting the measurement of total NOy,the influence of NO titration efficiency and other NOy component TD efficiency on measurement accuracy was emphasized.By changing the oxygen(O2)flow rate through the mercury lamp to alter the O3 concentration for titrating NO,the conversion efficiency of NO was evaluated.At O2 flow rate of 6 mL/min,the conversion efficiency of NO was greater than 99%.TD efficiency testing and analysis on NO2,peroxyacetyl nitrate(PAN),nitric acid(HNO3),and nitrous acid(HONO),which account for a large proportion of atmospheric NOy components,was carried out using 680℃as the optimal TD temperature for efficient conversion of NOy.With NO and HONO sample gases as typical verification gases,the conversion efficiency of NOy and the accuracy of NOy measurement by TD-BBCEAS system were verified by switching the on and off modes of mercury lamp and TD device.At integration time of 60 s,the detection limit of the system for NOy was 2.83×1010 molecules/cm3(60 s,2σ).A comparative measurement of actual atmospheric NOy was conducted between the TD-BBCEAS system and the NOy analyzer.The observation results showed a correlation coefficient(R2)of 0.98 and a slope of 0.93,further verifying the feasibility and accuracy of applying the TD-BBCEAS system to measurement of total NOy.

BACKGROUND:At present,the surgical treatment of atlantoaxial dislocation mainly adopts the posterior atlantoaxial screw-rod internal fixation system for lifting and reduction.During the operation,the curvature of the connecting rod is often increased to increase the drop between the atlantoaxial vertebrae to improve the reduction effect,but it increases the difficulty and risk of surgery.The axis pivot screw directly increases the reduction drop between the atlantoaxial vertebrae,but the extent to which it increases the reduction capacity is unclear.OBJECTIVE:To test the reduction ability of axis pivot screw and compare it with ordinary screw.METHODS:Six fresh human craniocervical specimens were used in study.The joint capsules of two lateral mass joints and atlanto-odontoid joint and transverse ligament were removed to make an atlantoaxial instability model.Three kinds of internal fixation were performed successively on both sides of the axis of each specimen:uniaxial axis pivot screws(group A),multi-axial axis pivot screws(group B)and ordinary screws(group C).Flexible ultra-thin film pressure sensors were placed in the anterior atlanto-odontoid space.Two connecting rods with the same curvature were placed to simulate the lifting and reduction,and the pressure of the anterior atlanto-odontoid space was obtained.Comparative analysis was conducted among the three groups.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The anterior atlanto-odontoid space pressure of groups A-C was(97.59±8.58),(60.43±5.09),and(22.74±0.81)N,respectively.There were significant differences among the three groups(F=251.603,P=0.000).The pairwise comparison among the three groups showed significant differences(P=0.000).(2)The axis pivot screw applied to the posterior atlantoaxial screw-rod internal fixation system can improve the reduction capacity compared with the common cervical posterior screw,and the uniaxial axis pivot screw has more reduction capacity than the multi-axis uniaxial axis pivot screw to improve the posterior atlantoaxial screw-rod internal fixation system.

Dynamic changes in the physiochemical, structural, and flavor characteristics of ginger-juice milk curd were explored by texture analysis, scanning electron microscopy, rheometry, electronic tongue, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Protein electrophoresis showed that ginger juice could hydrolyze αs-, β-, and κ-casein. Curd formation was initiated at 90 s, marked by significant changes in intensity detected via intrinsic fluorescence. The contents of soluble protein and calcium decreased rapidly during coagulation, while the caseinolytic activity, storage moduli, loss moduli, hardness, adhesiveness, and water-holding capacity increased, resulting in a denser gel structure with smaller pores and fewer cavitations as observed by scanning electron microscopy. Electronic tongue analysis indicated that milk could neutralize the astringency and saltiness of ginger juice, rendering the taste of ginger-juice milk curd more akin to that of milk. Approximately 70 volatile components were detected in ginger-juice milk curd. α-Zingiberene, α-curcumene, β-sesquiphellandrene, and β-bisabolene were the predominant volatile flavor compounds, exhibiting an initial decrease in content followed by stability after 90 s. Decanoic acid, γ-elemene, and caryophyllene were identified as unique volatile compounds after mixing of milk and ginger juice. Understanding the dynamic changes in these characteristics during coagulation holds significant importance for the production of ginger-juice milk curd.

This study compared the differences in intestinal absorption characteristics of eleven active components in Rubus multibracteatus(RM) extract(protocatechuic acid, tiliroside, scutellarin, luteoloside, astragalin, epicatechin, catechin, xanthotoxin, p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, and apigenin-7-O-glucuronide) between normal rats and inflammatory pain model rats using the in-vitro everted intestinal sac model. The RM extract was administered at absorption concentrations of 25.0, 50.0, and 100.0 mg·mL~(-1). The contents of the eleven components in intestinal absorption solution samples were quantified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS), and their cumulative absorption(Q) and absorption rate constant(K_a) were calculated to evaluate the absorption characteristics of these components in normal rats and inflammatory pain model rats. The results show that except for catechin, epicatechin, and caffeic acid, the cumulative absorption-time curves of the other eight components(protocatechuic acid, tiliroside, scutellarin, luteoloside, astragalin, xanthotoxin, p-coumaric acid, and apigenin-7-O-glucuronide) exhibit an upward trend without saturation, with correlation coefficients(R~2) all > 0.9, indicating linear absorption. However, the overall absorption of all components is not dose-dependent with increasing concentration, suggesting that their absorption mechanisms are not solely passive diffusion. In both normal and model rats, the jejunum shows the highest absorption for all components except xanthotoxin. The overall absorption of seven components(excluding protocatechuic acid, caffeic acid, apigenin-7-O-glucuronide, and luteoloside) in normal rats is better than that in model rats across all intestinal segments. These findings indicate that the pathological state of inflammatory pain alters the intestinal absorption of RM extract, and its mechanism needs further investigation.

Objective:This study aimed to explore the serum levels of soluble programmed cell death protein 1 (sPD-1) and soluble programmed cell death-ligand 1 (sPD-L1) in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and their clinical value in the prognostic analysis.Methods:This prospective cohort study included patients aged ≥18 years admitted to the department of critical care medicine at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University between January 2022 and October 2024 with a first episode of ICH presenting within 24 hours of onset. Patients with hemorrhage caused by other causes (e.g., tumor, medication and trauma) or incomplete data were excluded. Based on 28-day all-cause mortality, patients were divided into survival group and non-survival group. According to the 60-day neurological outcome, patients were divided into good neurological outcome group and poor neurological outcome group. Clinical and imaging data were collected, along with venous blood samples obtained within 24 hours of admission to measure serum levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1. Predictive indicators were identified using LASSO-Logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictive indicators, and a nomogram was constructed to visualize the prediction model. Model performances were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves, decision curve analysis, calibration curves, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.Results:A total of 155 patients were included: 101 in the survival group and 54 in the death group; 56 in the favorable neurological outcome group and 99 in the poor neurological outcome group. Serum sPD-1 concentrations were significantly lower in the death group and poor neurological outcome group compared to the survival group and favorable neurological outcome group, respectively. Conversely, serum sPD-L1 concentrations were significantly higher in the death group and poor neurological outcome group compared to the survival group and favorable neurological outcome group (all P < 0.05). Serum sPD-1 and sPD-L1 were identified as predictors of 28-day mortality risk. A nomogram incorporating seven indicators—brainstem hemorrhage, hemorrhage volume, obstructive hydrocephalus, surgical intervention, admission NIHSS score, and admission serum sPD-1 and sPD-L1 levels—demonstrated superior predictive performance [AUC=0.984 (95% CI: 0.968-1.000)] compared to sPD-1 alone (AUC=0.712) or sPD-L1 alone (AUC=0.753). Serum sPD-1 was a predictor of poor 60-day neurological outcome. A nomogram incorporating obstructive hydrocephalus, admission NIHSS score, and admission serum sPD-1 level [AUC=0.818 (95% CI: 0.754-0.882)] outperformed sPD-1 alone (AUC=0.637) or sPD-L1 alone (AUC=0.602). Conclusions:Serum levels of sPD-1 were significantly lower in the non-survivors and the patients with poor neurological outcomes compared to the survivors and the patients with good neurological outcomes. However, serum levels of sPD-L1 were significantly higher in the non-survivors and the patients with poor neurological outcome. Serum sPD-1 was an independent predictor of 28-day mortality risk and 60-day poor neurological outcome; serum sPD-L1 was an independent predictor of 28-day mortality risk. A nomogram prediction model incorporating sPD-1 and sPD-L1 demonstrated good predictive performance for mortality risk and poor neurological outcome.

AIM: To compare the effects of different nucleus chopping methods on the central corneal thickness, corneal endothelial cell(CEC)count and tear inflammatory indicators in patients with hard nucleus cataract.METHODS: Retrospective study. Totally 89 patients(89 eyes)with hard nucleus cataract who treated in our hospital were included from January 2020 to December 2022. According to different intraoperative nucleus chopping methods, the patients were divided into reverse prechop group(46 eyes)and phaco-chop group(43 eyes). The total effective rate of surgery and visual acuity recovery were compared between the two groups. Corneal related indicators(central corneal thickness, CEC count, CEC area), tear inflammatory indicators and tear film function [tear film break-up time(BUT), Chinese Dry Eye Questionnaire(CDEQ), Schirmer Ⅰ test(SⅠt)] were observed before and after surgery in both groups, and the degree of corneal edema was evaluated.RESULTS: The effective phaco time, phaco energy and cumulative complex energy parameters in the phaco-chop group were longer or higher than those in the reverse prechop group(P<0.05). The macular retinal thickness in the reverse prechop group at 7 d and 1 mo after surgery was thinner than that in the phaco-chop group, the central corneal thickness at 3 and 7 d after surgery was also thinner than that in the phaco-chop group, the CEC count at 3 mo after surgery was more than that in the phaco-chop group, the CEC loss rate was lower than that in the phaco-chop group, and the CEC area at 3 mo after surgery was smaller than that in the phaco-chop group(P<0.05). The levels of tear TNF-α and IL-6 at 7 d and 1 mo after surgery in the reverse prechop group were lower than those in the phaco-chop group(P<0.05). The BUT at 1 and 3 mo after surgery was longer in the reverse prechop group than that in the phaco-chop group(P<0.05). The CDEQ score in the reverse prechop group was lower than that in the phaco-chop group at 1 and 3 mo after surgery(P<0.05). The SⅠt at 1 and 3 mo after surgery was higher in the reverse prechop group compared with that in the phaco-chop group(P<0.05). The degree of corneal edema at 1 d after surgery was milder in the reverse prechop group than that in the phaco-chop group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Compared with phaco-chop, the application of reverse-chopper prechop combined with phacoemulsification can better reduce the ultrasonic energy in the treatment of hard nuclear cataract, and it is more conducive to reducing the postoperative inflammatory degree, improving the tear film function and relieving the corneal edema degree.
