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.

Objective To investigate the population composition,seasonal dynamics,and infestation levels of cockroaches in Lanzhou,China,and to provide information for the scientific development of cockroach control strategies.Methods Monitoring was conducted at three locations using the sticky trap method.Habitats included farm product markets,catering establishments,hotels,hospitals,and residential areas.Results From 2016 to 2023,the average cockroach density was 0.77 insects per board,with an average infestation rate of 10.84%.Blattella germanica was the dominant species.Seasonal density of cockroaches showed an approximately unimodal distribution,peaking in September.The highest average density and infestation rates were observed in farm product markets.Conclusions Cockroach density and infestation levels in Lanzhou remained relatively low.A comprehensive prevention and control strategy focusing on environmental management in key areas should be implemented according to the seasonal fluctuations.

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.

Objective To explore the prognostic value of hyperdense artery sign(HAS)in elderly patients with acute anterior LVO in anterior circulation undergoing mechanical thrombectomy.Methods A single-center retrospective analysis was conducted on 109 patients with acute LVO of anterior circulation admitted in our department from January 2019 to December 2022.According to their preoperative plain CT scans,they were divided into HAS positive(39 patients)and HAS negative(70 patients)groups.Baseline features,surgical indicators,complications and outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results The patients with HAS had significantly larger proportions of atrial fibrillation and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage than those without the sign(53.8％vs 31.4％,20.5％vs 5.7％,P＜0.05).The rate of 90-day good prognosis was a little higher in the HAS positive group than the negative group,though no statistical difference(48.7％vs 38.6％,P＞0.05).Male,stroke history,SBP,NIHSS at admission,HAS positivity,revasculiza-tion,and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage were independent influencing factors for favorable prognosis in the patients(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion The presence of HAS is a prognostic marker for patients with acute LVO in anterior circulation undergoing mechanical thrombectomy,and it is associated with a higher risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.

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.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of multimodal Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI)in cognitive impairment related to Cerebral Small Vessel Disease(CSVD).Methods:This study was a retrospective analysis of 60 CSVD patients,who were divided into cognitive impairment group(n=32)and normal group(n=28)based on Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale(MoCA).Compare the general information and MRI parameters of two groups of patients,use correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis to investigate the relationship between MRI parameters and cognitive dysfunction,and use receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)to explore the value of MRI parameters in diagnosing cognitive dysfunction in cerebral small vessel disease.Results:Compared with the cognitively normal group,the cognitive impairment group had older age,higher apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC),lower anisotropy score(FA),and an overall increase in microbleeds(P＜0.05).Age(r=-0.510),ADC value(r=-0.591),and overall number of microbleeds(r=-0.369)were significantly negatively correlated with MoCA score(P＜0.05),while FA value(r=0.262)was significantly positively correlated with MoCA score(P＜0.05).The logistic regression results indicate that age,overall microbleeds,ADC value,and FA value are influencing factors for cognitive impairment in patients with cerebral small vessel disease.ROC curve analysis showed that the combination of age,ADC,FA,and microbleeds significantly improved diagnostic efficacy(AUC=0.990,95％CI=0.974-1.000).Conclusion:The joint analysis of multimodal MRI parameters can provide important imaging evidence for the early identification of cognitive dysfunction in CSVD.

To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying acupuncture-induced weight loss,the effects of acupuncture based on the principles of consolidating the foundation and strengthening the spleen and stomach on the Leptin-mediated JAK2/STAT5α/PGE2 signaling pathway in the liver tissue of obese rats were investigated.Methods Obese rat models were established and divided into six groups:Normal control group,normal control+AG490 group,obese model group,obese model+AG490 group,obese model+acupuncture group,and obese model+acupuncture+AG490 group,with 10 rats in each group.Serum Leptin and PGE2 levels were detected using ELISA,the expression of related proteins in liver tissue was assessed by Western blot,and changes in adipocyte morphology were observed through HE staining.Results In the obese model group,serum Leptin and PGE2 levels were significantly elevated,adipocyte area was enlarged,and the expression of JAK1,JAK2,STAT5α,COX1,and COX2 proteins in liver tissue significantly increased.Acupuncture treatment significantly reduced serum Leptin and PGE2 levels,decreased adipocyte area,and inhibited the expression of related proteins in liver tissue.Conclusion Acupuncture achieves weight loss by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT5α/PGE2 signaling pathway,improving Leptin resistance,reducing inflammatory responses,and decreasing fat accumulation.

Objective:To investigate the the differential expression of EIF5A2 in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cell lines RBE,HCCC9810,and HUCCT1,and its effects on HCCC9810 cell migration and invasion,epithelial mesenchymal transition,and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.Methods:The differential expression of EIF5A2 in RBE,HCCC9810,and HUCCT1 cell lines was detected using WB method.The HCCC9810 cell line,with the highest expression of EIF5A2,was selected for this experiment.The expression of EIF5A2 in HCCC9810 cell line was silenced by transient transfection of small interfering RNA.The best silencing effect of small interfering RNA was screened by WB.Scratch assay and Tran-swell migration invasion assay were used to detect the effect of silencing EIF5A2 on the migration and invasion ability of HCCC9810 cells.WB was used to detect the effect of silencing EIF5A2 on PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and epithelial mesenchymal transition in HCCC9810 cells.Results:The WB results showed that EIF5A2 had the highest expression in the HCCC9810 cell line,and siRNA1 had the best silencing effect on EIF5A2 in the HCCC9810 cell line.Scratch assay and Transwell migration invasion assay results showed that silencing EIF5A2 in the HCCC9810 cell line resulted in a decrease in cell invasion and metastasis ability(P＜0.05).At the same time,the expression of p-PI3K and p-AKT in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was significantly decreased(P＜0.05),while the epithelial cell marker E-cadherin expression increased(P＜0.05)and the stromal cell marker N-cadherin expression decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:EIF5A2 may promote epi-thelial mesenchymal transition and enhance the migration and invasion ability of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cells through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

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 α_s-, 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.
