OBJECTIVE To systematically review the status on pharmacist competency assessment tools both domestically and internationally, providing a theoretical basis for constructing scientific and applicable pharmacist competency assessment tools in China. METHODS Through literature review and comparative analysis, 15 representative domestic and international pharmacist competency assessment tools were systematically summarized, and their theoretical foundations, core dimensions, methodological characteristics and practical applications were compared and implications were given. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS International research has established relatively mature evaluation systems. Represented by those developed from the United Kingdom, the United States, and the International Pharmaceutical Federation, these assessment tools demonstrate scientific structure, wide application, and dynamic and international applicability. While domestic research has progressed in sub-specialties such as clinical pharmacists, licensed pharmacists and pediatric pharmacists, it still faces challenges including insufficient standardization, inadequate validation, delayed updates, and limitations in practical application. The reasons for the disparities in assessment tools between China and other countries include differences in pharmaceutical care models, varying pharmacist training systems, cultural and social background factors, as well as differences in industry management and international influence. Based on this, the author suggests promoting the development and research of assessment tools for pharmacist job competency in China from four aspects: mechanism construction, system refinement, standardization development, and practical implementation.

The nucleophosmin 1(NPM1)muta-tion is one of the most frequent subtypes in acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Under the conditions of FLT3-internal tandem duplications(FLT3-ITD)and/or DNMT3A co-mutations or adverse cytogenetics,the originally favorable prognosis will deteriorate.In recent years,studies have found that multiple endocrine neoplasia protein(Menin)inhibitors tar-geting Menin-KMT2A complex can downregulate the overexpression of leukemia causing genes HOX(homeotic gene)and MEIS1(myeloid ecotropic vi-ral integration site 1)in NPM1-mutated AML,dem-onstrating remarkable anti-leukemia activity.This article aims to review the mechanism and clinical research of Menin inhibitors,novel small molecule targeted drugs in NPM1-mutated AML,as well as the resistance mechanism of Menin inhibitors,hop-ing to provide promising approaches for the subse-quent treatment of NPM1-mutated AML patients.

Objective Network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques were used to predict the potential mechanisms by which the active components of Piper nigrum(PN)regulate depressive-like behaviors in chronic restraint stress(CRS)mice.Methods The major chemical components and targets of PN were screened using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology database.Targets related to ferroptosis and depression were obtained from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man,GeneCards,and FerrDB databases.The intersecting targets were then subjected to Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Gnomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analyses,and molecular docking was performed to validate the binding capacities between the core targets and their corresponding active components.Finally,we established a CRS mouse model.Mice were treated with PN 75,150,and 300 mg/kg for 4 weeks,followed by behavioral assessments and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)to verify the expression of core genes.Results Nine active components were screened from PN,corresponding to 27 targets,and 8377 targets related to depression and 547 targets associated with ferroptosis were screened from the databases.The intersection of these three sets resulted in 25 target genes.KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that these core targets were predominantly enriched in signaling pathways,including cholinergic synapses,serotonergic synapses,and neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions.Molecular docking result showed that the main active components of PN had strong binding affinities for the targets CHRM2,SLC6A4,PTGS2,and SLC6A2.Behavioral assessments demonstrated that PN significantly increased the sucrose preference index(P<0.01,P<0.001),reduced immobility time in the tail suspension and forced swimming tests(P<0.01,P<0.001),and enhanced exploratory behavior in the open field test(P<0.05.P<0.01,P<0.001).PN significantly reduced the serum levels of inflammation markers(P<0.05.P<0.01,P<0.001),as shown by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and neurotransmitter analysis revealed that PN significantly increased the levels of serotonin and acetylcholine in the mouse hippocampus(P<0.05).RT-qPCR showed that PN demonstrated the mRNA expression of SLC6A4(P<0.05.P<0.01,P<0.001).Conclusions PN may improve depressive-like behavior in mice by modulating serotonin and acetylcholine levels,inhibiting inflammatory responses,participating in immune regulation,and exerting neuroprotective effects.

Objective:To discuss the risk factors for postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery.Methods:The clinical data of 488 patients who underwent pancreatectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from Jan 2016 to Sep 2024 was retrospectively analyzed.Results:One hundred and sixteen patients (23.8%) developed VTE after pancreatic surgery. Logistic analysis showed that advanced age, abdominal surgery history, high preoperative white blood cell count, high platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, open surgery, conversion to open surgery, and long surgery duration were risk factors.Nomogram prediction model based on the above risk factors was constructed and the area under the ROC curve was subsequently measured to be 0.781 (95% CI: 0.731-0.830). Conclusion:The prevention and control of VTE should be strengthened for patients undergoing pancreatic surgery with advanced age, abdominal surgery history, high preoperative white blood cell count, high PLR, distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, open surgery, conversion to open surgery, and long surgery duration.

Objective:To analyze the clinical significance of molecular classification and hereditary phenotype in endometrial carcinoma (EC) based on high throughput sequencing (NGS).Methods:97 EC samples were collected retrospectively from December 2019 to October 2022 in China-Japan Friendship Hospital. NGS technique was used to analyze the molecular classification, POLE hypermutation, microsatellite high Instability/mismatch repair dysfunction (MSI-H/MMRd), P53 protein abnormality (P53 abn), and non-specific molecular profile (NSMP). Lynch syndrome related genes and BRCA1/2 genes were detected by NGS and their genetic characteristics were analyzed. Results:Of the 97 EC cases, 77 were endometrial adenocarcinoma and 20 were other pathological subtypes. The proportions of the four molecular subtypes were 9.3% (9/97) POLE hypermutation, 16.5% (16/97) MSI-H, 17.5% (17/97) P53 abn and 56.7% (55/97) NSMP, respectively. There were significant differences in age, histological type, lymph node metastasis, pathological stage and other parameters among the four molecular types ( P<0.05). 8.2% (8/97) were multiple molecular typing and four multiple molecular typings detected, including POLEmut-MSI-H, POLEmut-P53abn, MSI-H-P53abn, P53abn-P53abn, which accounted for 1.0% (1/97), 3.1% (3/97), 1.0% (1/97) and 3.1% (3/97), respectively. The consistent rate of MSI-H and MMR protein expression was 92.9% ( Kappa=0.818, P<0.001). The coincidence rate between TP53 gene sequencing and P53 protein expression was 88.9% ( Kappa=0.661, P<0.001). In MSI-H type, 25.0% (4/16) were diagnosed as Lynch syndrome, and 75.0% (12/16) were diagnosed as Lynch like syndrome. 7.2% (7/97) BRCA2 somatic variation was detected, while BRCA1/2 germline variation was not detected in 97 cases. Conclusions:EC molecular classification has feasibility and clinical value. High throughput sequencing can detect low frequency mutations of TP53 gene, suggesting that it can provide more accurate molecular information and more accurate molecular typing effect. It is suggested to further detect Lynch syndrome related genes in patients with MSI-H, so as to carry out genetic management for patients and their families and achieve better therapeutic effect.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of our self-designed intelligent robot-assisted reduction system for fresh subtrochanteric fractures of the femur.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to include 10 patients with fresh subtrochanteric fracture of the femur who had been admitted to Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from January 2024 to July 2024. There were 7 males and 3 females with an age of (45.0±14.3) years and an interval from injury to surgery of (7.9±3.7) d. All the patients were treated by minimally invasive reduction which was assisted by our self-designed intelligent robot, and internal fixation with intramedullary nails. The operation duration, intraoperative reduction duration, intraoperative blood loss, and intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency were recorded. The reduction effect was evaluated by calculating the differences between preoperative planning and postoperative CT reconstruction (i.e., the differences in femoral shaft length and in rotation angle). The hip functional recovery was assessed by Harris hip function Scoring.Results:The mean operation time was 200.0 (161.3, 217.5) min, the reduction time (83.0±35.5) min, the intraoperative blood loss (290.0±110.1) mL, and the intraoperative fluoroscopy 18.5 (9.0, 19.3) times. In all patients, the difference in femoral shaft length was (2.4±1.4) mm, and the difference in rotation angle 5.1°±3.0°. All patients were followed up for (8.2±2.0)months. All the fractures got united at the last follow-up. Their Harris hip function score was (83.3±4.1) points.Conclusion:Our self-designed intelligent robot-assisted reduction system is feasible and effective in the surgery of fresh subtrochanteric fracture of the femur, because the robot system can complete the autonomous planning of reduction approaches before surgery and assist fracture reduction under real-time monitoring with three-dimensional images, leading to fine outcomes.

Objective To explore the clinical and pathological characteristics and oncological outcomes of clear cell borderline ovarian tumor(CCBOT),and provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease in the future.Methods A total of 23 CCBOT patients who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from May 2011 to Aug 2022 were enrolled,and the clinical information of 19 CCBOT patients in the Ricotta's cohort was integrated.The clinical pathological characteristics and oncological outcomes of these 42 patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results This study enrolled 42 CCBOT patients,including 23 from our cohort and 19 from the Ricotta G's cohort.Compared with the Ricotta's cohort,the proportion of CCBOT patients with endometriosis in our cohort(34.8%)was significantly higher than that in the Ricotta's cohort(5.3%)(P<0.05).In our cohort,22 patients had information on intraoperative frozen section evaluation,and the accuracy of intraoperative frozen section evaluation was 50%(11/22).The other 50%(11/22)of patients were underestimated by intraoperative frozen section evaluation.The merged cohort indicated that the median age of the patients was 60 years old,occuring more common in postmenopausal women(66.7%).Most cases presented with pelvic masses(59.5%)and abdominal pain or distension(19.0%).This disease mostly involved unilateral ovaries(90.5%).Information on preoperative tumor markers was largely missed,making it difficult to draw an accurate evaluation for them.Ten cases(23.8%)underwent fertility sparing surgery,and 32 cases(76.2%)underwent radical surgery.The pathologic report indicated that all patients were stage I patients and 21.4%patients had endometriosis.Among these patients,32 patients underwent total hysterectomy,of which 10(31.3%)had concurrent endometrial lesions.The median follow-up time was 68 months,with a minimum follow-up of one month and a maximum follow-up of 231 months,and no recurrence or death was observed.Conclusion CCBOT patients usually had an good prognosis with a low recurrence rate.Fertility sparing surgery was safe and feasible,but attention should be paid to exclude concurrent endometrial lesions.Given the rarity of CCBOT,future multicenter prospective studies are needed to better elucidate the clinical pathological features and prognosis of patients with CCBOT.
