Objective To construct a characteristic intelligent pharmacy service platform in ethnic areas,to optimize pharmacist resources,and to improve the quality of pharmacy services.Methods Taking Liangshan Yi autonomous prefecture of Sichuan Province as an example,the pharmaceutical care software was improved and innovated by adding various forms of medication guidance in Yi language.Results The platform was initially operated and 150 Yi language medication guidance was established.The platform pushes 461 medication guidance content daily,including 276 Yi and Han medication guidance.Patients can receive them through WeChat's official account or short message service(SMS),and the medication guidance rate has been significantly improved.Conclusion The characteristic pharmaceutical service platform in the Yi region can substantially improve the quality of pharmaceutical service,meet the individual demands of Yi patients and provide new ideas and methods for pharmaceutical service in other ethnic areas.

Scaffold hopping refers to computer-aided screening for active compounds with different structures against the same receptor to enrich privileged scaffolds, which is a topic of high interest in organic and medicinal chemistry. However, most approaches cannot efficiently predict the potency level of candidates after scaffold hopping. Herein, we identified potent PDE5 inhibitors with a novel scaffold via a free energy perturbation (FEP)-guided scaffold-hopping strategy, and FEP shows great advantages to precisely predict the theoretical binding potencies ΔG _FEP between ligands and their target, which were more consistent with the experimental binding potencies ΔG _EXP (the mean absolute deviations | Δ G FEP - Δ G EXP |  < 2 kcal/mol) than those ΔG _MM-PBSA or ΔG _MM-GBSA predicted by the MM-PBSA or MM-GBSA method. Lead L12 had an IC₅₀ of 8.7 nmol/L and exhibited a different binding pattern in its crystal structure with PDE5 from the famous starting drug tadalafil. Our work provides the first report via the FEP-guided scaffold hopping strategy for potent inhibitor discovery with a novel scaffold, implying that it will have a variety of future applications in rational molecular design and drug discovery.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and outcome of patients with human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) viral encephalitis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods:The clinical manifestations, laboratory characteristics, diagnosis and treatment process and outcome of 3 patients with HHV-7 viral encephalitis after allo-HSCT in Hebei Yanda Lu Daopei Hospital from 2018 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed.Results:The clinical features of 3 patients with HHV-7 viral encephalitis after allo-HSCT included fever, headache, vomiting, apathy, etc., without specific symptoms or signs. The conventional white blood cell count in the cerebrospinal fluid was normal or slightly higher, mainly lymphocytes, and the cerebrospinal fluid protein was normal or slightly higher. The HHV-7 virus DNA in cerebrospinal fluid was positive, and the treatment with ganciclovir or foscarnet was effective. The prognosis was favorable in two mild cases, but one case with cerebral hemorrhage died eventually.Conclusions:HHV-7 viral encephalitis is a rare infection after allo-HSCT, and it can be easily misdiagnosed due to lack of typical symptoms and indications for routine laboratory tests. The detection of HHV-7 DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid can help confirm the diagnosis. Currently, there is no standard treatment programs, but ganciclovir and foscarnet are effective.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of haplotype hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HIDT) and sibling matched hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (MSDT) in the treatment of complete remission (CR) acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) .Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics and outcomes of 98 patients who underwent HSCT in Hebei Yanda Ludaopei hospital with HID ( n=81) or ISD ( n=17) between May 2012 and May 2016. Results:The incidence of grades 2-4 and 3-4 acute-versus-host disease 100 days after HSCT were 51.9% (95% Confidence interval [ CI] 42.0%-64.0%) vs 29.4% (95% CI 14.1%-61.4%) ( P=0.072) and 9.8% (95% CI 5.1%-19.1%) vs 11.8% (95% CI 3.2%-43.3%) ( P=1.000) for HIDT and MSDT. The 100-day cumulative incidences of CMV and EBV viremia were 53.1% (95% CI 43.3%-65.2%) vs 29.4% (95% CI 14.1%-61.4%) ( P=0.115) and 35.8% (95% CI 26.8%-47.9%) vs11.8% (95% CI 3.2%-43.3%) ( P=0.048) . The 5-year overall survival, leukemia-free survival, cumulative incidences of relapse, and no-relapse mortality were 60.5% (95% CI 5.4%-49.0%) vs 68.8% (95% CI 11.8%-40.0%) ( P=0.315) , 58.0% (95% CI 5.5%-46.5%) vs 68.8% (95% CI 11.8%-40.0%) ( P=0.258) , 16.1% (95% CI 9.8%-26.4%) vs 11.8% (95% CI 3.2%-43.3%) ( P=0.643) , 25.9% (95% CI 17.9%-37.5%) vs 19.4% (95% CI 6.9%-54.4%) ( P=0.386) for HIDT and MSDT, respectively. Conclusion:HID could be a valid alternative donor for patients with T-ALL in CR lacking an identical donor.

Objective:To study the clinical efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART) treatment followed by a second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who relapsed following the first HSCT.Methods:Retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics and prognosis of 41 patients with B-cell ALL who received a second allo-HSCT from October 2015 to June 2020 in Hebei Yanda Lu Daopei Hospital. After the first HSCT, all patients received CD19-CART, or CD22-CART treatment following a relapse of bone marrow morphology or extramedullary leukemia.Results:A total of 41 patients (male, 21; female, 20) were included in this study. The median age at the second HSCT was 16 (3-46) years. There were 31 cases of bone marrow recurrence (75.6%) , 5 cases of extramedullary recurrence (12.2%) , and 5 cases of bone marrow and extramedullary recurrences (12.2%) . After relapse, 35 patients (85.4%) received CD19-CART treatment, 2 patients received CD22-CART treatment (4.9%) , and 4 patients received CD19-CART and CD22-CART treatments (9.8%) . The expected 3-year overall survival (OS) , leukemia-free survival, cumulative relapse incidence, and non-relapse mortality (NRM) of patients after the second HSCT were 48.9% (95% CI 23.0%-70.6%) , 41.8% (95% CI 17.3%-64.9%) , 8.8% (95% CI 2.9%-26.4%) , and 51.1% (95% CI 31.2%-83.6%) , respectively. The 1-year OS of patients who relapsed ≤6 months and >6 months after the first HSCT were 45.0% (95% CI 12.7%-73.5%) and 75.0% (95% CI 51.4% -88.8%) ( P=0.017) , respectively. Conclusion:CART bridging in the second HSCT enables some B-cell ALL patients who relapsed after the first HSCT to achieve long-term survival. However, because of the high NRM, further modifications could help improve the outcome.

Left atrial dissection is a rare complication of mitral valve replacement surgery. Here, a case of left atrial dissection followed by mitral valvular obstruction was presented. It is suspected that the dissection was caused by trematodiases infection. Cardiac surgery was finally performed, which not only confirmed the diagnosis but also acted as an effective treatment. Especially, surgery is of essential value to confirm the perforation locating at the basal posterior wall of the left ventricle, to repair the atrial dissection, and to relieve the mitral valvular obstruction.

Our recent studies demonstrated that the natural product nobiletin (NOB) served as a promising multidrug resistance (MDR) reversal agent and improved the effectiveness of cancer chemotherapy . However, low aqueous solubility and difficulty in total synthesis limited its application as a therapeutic agent. To tackle these challenges, NOB was synthesized in a high yield by a concise route of six steps and fourteen derivatives were synthesized with remarkable solubility and efficacy. All the compounds showed improved sensitivity to paclitaxel (PTX) in P-glycoprotein (P-gp) overexpressing MDR cancer cells. Among them, compound exhibited water solubility 280-fold higher than NOB. A drug-resistance A549/T xenograft model showed that at a dose of 50 mg/kg co-administered with PTX (15 mg/kg), inhibited tumor growth more effective than NOB and remarkably increased PTX concentration in the tumors P-gp inhibition. Moreover, Western blot experiments revealed that inhibited expression of NRF2, phosphorylated ERK and AKT in MDR cancer cells, thus implying of multiple mechanisms to reverse MDR in lung cancer.
