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.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most prevalent primary malignant bone tumor affecting children and adolescents. Despite ongoing research efforts, the 5-year survival rate has remained stagnant for many years, highlighting the critical need for novel drug development to enhance current treatment protocols. Ziyuglycoside II (ZYG II), a triterpenoid saponin extracted from S. officinalis, has recently demonstrated antitumor properties. This study evaluates the antitumor effect of ZYG II on osteosarcoma and elucidates its mechanism of action through the co-regulation of p53 and estrogen-related receptor gamma (ESRRG), which inhibits disease progression. The research employs in vitro experiments using multiple established osteosarcoma cell lines, as well as in vivo studies utilizing a nude mouse model of orthotopic xenograft osteosarcoma. Additionally, ESRRG shRNA was used to construct stable ESRRG-reducing OS cell lines to investigate the molecular mechanism by which ZYG II exerts its anti-osteosarcoma effects through the co-regulation of ESRRG and p53. Results indicate that ZYG II administration led to decreased OS cell viability and reduced tumor volumes. Furthermore, cell cycles were arrested at the G₀/G₁ phase, while the proportion of apoptotic cells increased. Expression of p53, ESRRG, p21, Bax, Cleaved Caspase-9, and Cleaved Caspase-3 proteins increased, while expression of CDK4, Cyclin D1, and Bcl-2 proteins decreased. Multiple ZYG II and ESRRG docking patterns were simulated through molecular docking. Comparing the pharmacodynamic response of ZYG II to OS cell lines with reduced ESRRG and normal expression demonstrated that ZYG II inhibits osteosarcoma progression, induces cell cycle arrest, and promotes cell apoptosis through the coordination of p53 and ESRRG. In conclusion, ZYG II inhibits osteosarcoma progression, leads to cell cycle arrest, and promotes cell apoptosis through synergistic regulation of p53 and ESRRG.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality based on the 10-year population-based multicenter prospective study. METHODS: A general population-based multicenter prospective study was conducted at four sites in rural China between 2013 and 2023. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline analyses were used to assess the association between BMI and mortality. Stratified analyses were performed based on the individual characteristics of the participants. RESULTS: Overall, 19,107 participants with a sum of 163,095 person-years were included and 1,910 participants died. The underweight (< 18.5 kg/m ²) presented an increase in all-cause mortality (adjusted hazards ratio [ aHR] = 2.00, 95% confidence interval [ CI]: 1.66-2.41), while overweight (≥ 24.0 to < 28.0 kg/m ²) and obesity (≥ 28.0 kg/m ²) presented a decrease with an aHR of 0.61 (95% CI: 0.52-0.73) and 0.51 (95% CI: 0.37-0.70), respectively. Overweight ( aHR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.67-0.86) and mild obesity ( aHR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.59-0.87) had a positive impact on mortality in people older than 60 years. All-cause mortality decreased rapidly until reaching a BMI of 25.7 kg/m ² ( aHR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.98) and increased slightly above that value, indicating a U-shaped association. The beneficial impact of being overweight on mortality was robust in most subgroups and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION This study provides additional evidence that overweight and mild obesity may be inversely related to the risk of death in individuals older than 60 years. Therefore, it is essential to consider age differences when formulating health and weight management strategies.

Introducing fingerprint level 3 features(especially sweat pores)in fingerprint recognition can significantly improve the value of fingerprints.However,conventional fingerprint visualization methods suffer from issues such as poor stability and reproducibility,insufficient resolution,and feature masking in detecting level 3 features.Electrospun membrane has unique advantages in latent fingerprint(LFP)detection due to its excellent adsorption performance and high specific surface area,and thus its application potential in LFP visualization urgently need to be explored.A novel pore visualization method based on core-shell structured PAN-Flu/PVP composite nanofibrous membrane was proposed in this work.Specifically,the PAN-Flu/PVP composite nanofibrous membrane was prepared via coaxial electrospinning technology,with polyacrylonitrile(PAN)loaded with fluorescein(Flu)as the core and polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP)as the shell.The experimental results showed that the prepared PAN Flu/PVP composite nanofibrous membrane had a porous structure and excellent adsorption performance.Based on the water solubility of the outer shell PVP and the water induced fluorescence enhancement effect of the core Flu,high-resolution visualization of sweat pores could be achieved within 2 s.The optimization experiment showed that the best quality of sweat latent fingerprints was obtained when the Flu content was 4 mg/mL,the spinning time was 1 h,and the sweating time was 2 min.Through repeated fingerprinting and live fingerprint comparison experiment,the strong stability and high reproducibility of the as-produced membrane in displaying fingerprint sweat pores were finally verified.In summary,the development method could quickly,stably and accurately extract the spatial distribution and activity level of fingerprint sweat pores,which was of great significance for improving the utilization and value of fingerprints.

[Objective] To analyze the prevalence of human T-lymphocyte leukemia virus (HTLV) among blood donors in Guangzhou from 2016 to 2021, and provide a basis for blood collection and supply management in this region. [Methods] A total of 2 116 951 voluntary blood donors were screened for anti-HTLV by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) from March 2016 to December 2021 in Guangzhou, and the reactive cases were further confirmed by Western blotting (WB). Qualitative data were analyzed by χ2 with spss19 software. The trend of the total positive rate of HTLV confirmation test by WB from 2016 to 2021 was analyzed with the Joinpoint software, and the annual percent change (APC) was used to determine whether the trend changes were statistically significant. [Results] From March 2016 to December 2021, the total positive rate for anti-HTLV by ELISA among voluntary blood donors in Guangzhou was 0.019 7% (416/ 2116 951), and the WB confirmed positive rate was 0.001 1% (23/2 116 951). The total positive rate of HTLV among individual voluntary blood donors in the six main districts (0.002 12%, 19/895 301) was higher than that among group voluntary blood donors (0.000 32%, 3/951 947) (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the total positive rate of HTLV confirmation between the six main districts (0.001 19%) and the three non-main districts (0.000 37%) (P>0.05). The trend of the total positive rate of HTLV infection in the six main districts and the Guangzhou area(including the six main districts and three non-main districts) showed no significant increase or decrease. [Conclusion] The prevalence of HTLV among blood donors in Guangzhou remains at a low level.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value and safety of thoracic radiotherapy in patients with synchronous oligometastatic, driver gene-negative non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) as first-line treatment.Methods:Data were retrospectively collected from 55 patients diagnosed with synchronous oligometastatic, driver gene-negative NSCLC who received first-line ICIs from January 2017 to March 2022. These patients were categorized into two groups based on the administration of thoracic radiotherapy: the thoracic radiotherapy group ( n = 27) and the non-thoracic radiotherapy group ( n = 28). Comparative analyses were conducted to evaluate survival outcomes and safety profiles between the two groups. Results:Among the 55 patients, 27 (49.1%) received thoracic radiotherapy. The median follow-up time was 37.0 months (2.2-76.7 months). Patients in the thoracic radiotherapy group exhibited significantly improved median overall survival (OS: 53.4 vs. 21.3 months, P = 0.049) and median progression-free survival (PFS: 13.6 vs. 8.3 months, χ2=4.11, P = 0.043) compared to those in the non-thoracic radiotherapy group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified thoracic radiotherapy as an independent prognostic factor for OS ( HR = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.17-0.90, P = 0.027) and PFS ( HR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.28-0.99, P = 0.046). The most common grade 3 or higher toxicity was bone marrow suppression, occurring in seven patients (12.7%). There was no significant difference between both groups in the incidence of grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events, including pneumonitis. Conclusion:In patients with driver gene-negative, synchronous oligometastatic NSCLC, first-line immunotherapy combined with thoracic radiotherapy may improve survival outcomes without increasing the incidence of severe treatment-related adverse events. Further large-scale, randomized prospective trials are needed to verify the findings of this study.

OBJECTIVE To observe the current status and influencing factors for the water contamination of humid-ification tanks of ventilators of the patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation.METHODS Totally 139 hu-midified water samples were collected from the patients who received invasive mechanical ventilation in The First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from Jul.2024 to Nov.2024.The humidified water samples were collected,cultured and identified on Day 1,3,5 and 7 after humidification tanks replacement.RESULTS Among the 139 samples,25 were tested positive for pathogens,with the positive test rate 17.99％;the positive test rate was highest(33.33％,8/24)in respiratory intensive care unit.The positive test rate was 12.90％on Day 1,18.42％on Day 3,15.00％on Day 5 and 26.67％on Day 7,showing an upward trend.The result of bacterial culture showed that the percentage of isolated Burkholderia cepacia was highest(36.00％).The result of analysis of the related factors for positive test of humidified water samples showed that the sample adding pattern was as-sociated with the isolation rate(P＜0.05).Only 1 case was diagnosed with ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP)after the humidified water was detected with pathogens and varied in the pathogens.CONCLUSIONS There is an association between the status of water contamination of the ventilator humidification tanks and usage duration of humidification tank.It is necessary to attach great importance to the contamination of humidification tanks,carry out standard management,and implement the prevention and control measures in an all-round way.

[Purpose]To analyze the incidence and mortality of liver cancer in cancer registration areas of Zhejiang Province in 2021 and the epidemiological trends of liver cancer from 2000 to 2021.[Methods]Using liver cancer data from 2000 to 2021 reported by Zhejiang Provincial Can-cer Registries,stratified by sex,age,and urban-rural areas,indicators including crude incidence rate,crude mortality rate,age-standardized incidence rate by Chinese standard population(ASIRC),age-standardized mortality rate by Chinese standard population(ASMRC),age-standardi-zed incidence rate by world standard population(ASIRW),age-standardized mortality rate by world standard population(ASMRW)were calculated.Joinpoint Regression Program(Version 5.3.0)was used to fit the log-linear relationship between rates and years,and calculate the annual percentage change(APC)and average annual percentage change(AAPC)with 95％confidence interval(CI).[Results]In 2021,the crude incidence rate of liver cancer in Zhejiang cancer registration areas was 26.93/105(ASIRC:13.35/105),and the crude mortality rate was 20.87/105(ASMRC:9.52/105).The number of new cases and deaths of liver cancer accounted for 5.07％and 11.33％of all malig-nant tumor cases and deaths,respectively.The incidence and mortality rates of liver cancer in male were significantly higher than those in female(crude incidence rate:40.17/105 vs 13.85/105;ASIRC:20.60/105 vs 6.34/105;crude mortality rate:30.78/105 vs 11.07/105;ASMRC:14.67/105 vs 4.57/105),and those in rural areas were higher than those in urban areas(crude incidence rate:30.39/105 vs 24.79/105;ASIRC:15.35/105 vs 12.10/105;crude mortality rate:24.32/105 vs 18.72/105;ASMRC:11.30/105 vs 8.40/105).In 2021,the incidence rate of liver cancer was low before the age of 30 years old,and increased significantly with age after 30 years old,reaching the peak in male aged 85 years old and above(170.04/105)and in female aged 80～84 years old(84.74/105).The mortality rate showed a similar trend to the incidence rate,which was low before the age of 30 years old and increased significantly with age after 30 years old,peaking in male aged 85 years old and above(211.64/105)and in female aged 80～84 years old(98.31/105).From 2000 to 2021,the crude incidence rate of liver cancer in Zhejiang Province showed an overall upward trend(AAPC=1.01％,95％CI:0.44％～1.58％),while the ASIRC remained relatively stable(AAPC=-0.81％,95％CI:-1.48％～0.02％)with a significant remained relatively stable(AAPC=-0.81％,95％CI:-1.48％～0.02％),after 2010,the ASIRC remained relatively stable(AAPC=-0.81％,95％CI:-1.48％～0.02％)with a significant decreased significantly.Both the crude mortality rate(AAPC=-0.84％,95％CI:-1.23％～-0.36％)and ASMRC(AAPC=-2.78％,95％CI:-3.28％～-2.20％)showed sig-nificant downward trends,and the decline of ASMRC was more obvious.[Conclusion]From 2000 to 2021,the incidence of liver cancer in cancer registration areas of Zhejiang Province showed a fluctuating downward trend,and the mortality showed a steady downward trend,but the disease burden remains heavy.Rural areas,the elderly,and males are high-risk populations,which should be the key targets of liver cancer prevention and control.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

Vertebral refracture following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) is commonly seen in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures (OTLCF). It can lead to recurrent pain, loss of vertebral height, progression of kyphosis, and even neurological dysfunction, significantly impairing patients′ quality of life. Current diagnosis and treatment face multiple challenges, including high misdiagnosis rate, difficulty in choosing between surgical and non-surgical treatment options, lack of standardized surgical protocols, interference from intralesional bone cement during procedures, inadequate stability of internal fixation in osteoporotic bone, and suboptimal compliance of anti-osteoporotic therapy. Establishing a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic framework is urgently needed. To standardize the management process and improve outcomes for vertebral refractures after PVA in elderly OTLCF patients, Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field to develop Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral refracture after percutaneous vertebral augmentation in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025), based on current literature and clinical experience, and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability. A total of 11 recommendations were proposed, encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of vertebral refracture after PVA in elderly patients with OTLCF, aiming to provide a foundation for a standardized management.
