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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of Ras-GTPase-activating protein SH3 domain-binding protein 2 （G3BP2） in regulating the activation， proliferation， and migration of hepatic stellate cells （HSCs）. MethodsThe mouse HSCs （JS-1 cell line） were treated with 5 μg/L transforming growth factor-beta 1（TGF-β1） for 24 hours to establish an HSC activation and proliferation model. A G3BP2 knockdown system was constructed using siRNA interference technology. The experiment was divided into four groups： Control， TGF-β1 treatment， TGF-β1+si-NC， and TGF-β1+ G3BP2-siRNA. The expression levels of key fibrosis indicators， including type I collagen （Collagen I）， α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA）， and G3BP2， were detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR. Cell proliferation activity was assessed using the CCK-8 proliferation assay kit and EdU fluorescence labeling technology. Cell migration ability was analyzed by scratch wound healing assay and Transwell migration assay. The formation level of stress granules was quantified by immunofluorescence microscopy to investigate the effects of G3BP2 on stress granule formation in activated HSCs. ResultsStimulation with TGF-β1 upregulated the expression of G3BP2 in JS-1 cells （RT-qPCR： P0.000 1； Western blot： P0.000 1）， while a downward trend in its expression was observed in the G3BP2‑silenced group （RT-qPCR： P0.01； Western blot： P0.000 1）. Compared with the control group， the TGF-β1 group exhibited increased protein expression levels of α-SMA and Collagen I （RT-qPCR： both P0.01； Western blot： P0.01 and P0.05， respectively）， concomitant with an increased number of stress granules and enhanced cell proliferation and migration capacity （all P0.001）. The experimental results demonstrated that G3BP2 knockout effectively reversed the aforementioned phenotypes， with the G3BP2-silenced group showing reduced expression of fibrotic markers （all P0.01）， decreased stress granule formation （P0.01）， and reduced cell proliferation and migration capacity （all P0.05）， compared to the negative control group. ConclusionG3BP2 enhances the activation， proliferation， and migration of HSCs by promoting the formation of stress granules， thereby accelerating the pathological progression of liver fibrosis. This suggests that stress granules may serve as important regulators in controlling the activation， proliferation， and migration of HSCs.

Background: and Purpose Vertebrobasilar fusiform aneurysms (VBFAs) carry substantial morbidity and mortality, but optimal management for unruptured VBFAs remains unclear. We compared the safety and efficacy of conservative management (CM), stent-assisted coiling (SAC), and flow diverters (FDs) in patients with unruptured VBFAs, focusing on long-term prognosis. Methods: This study included data from a nationwide Chinese cohort of patients with vertebrobasilar dissecting aneurysms. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) balanced confounders across groups. The primary outcome was poor prognosis (modified Rankin Scale score >2). Secondary outcomes included aneurysm rupture, ischemic stroke, compression symptoms, and VBFA-related deaths. Logistic regression estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed. Results: Among 1,115 patients with unruptured VBFAs, 838 (median age, 54 years; 655 men) were included. After IPTW, baseline characteristics were balanced. Median follow-up was 54 months. FD was associated with a lower risk of poor prognosis than CM (OR, 0.48 [95% CI, 0.30 to 0.77]; p=0.002), with no difference between CM and SAC. FD also reduced aneurysm rupture (OR, 0.20 [95% CI, 0.07 to 0.60]; p=0.004) and compression symptoms (OR, 0.30 [95% CI, 0.13 to 0.68]; p=0.004) versus CM. Time-to-event analyses further revealed significant differences in vertebral artery lesions and Type I–II VBFAs, whereas no significant differences were observed in basilar or vertebrobasilar junction lesions or in Type III–IV VBFAs. Conclusions Compared with CM, FD was associated with improved long-term outcomes in unruptured VBFAs, particularly in vertebral artery lesions and Type I–II VBFAs, although residual confounding cannot be excluded.

ObjectiveTo construct a prediction model for high responsiveness to short-term aerobic training in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) based on dual-task gait assessment, and to provide evidence for identifying individuals who are most likely to benefit from such interventions. MethodsA total of 42 patients with PD who visited the outpatient clinic of Tianjin Huanhu Hospital between August 29, 2023 and December 19, 2024 were enrolled. All participants completed a 4-week home-based aerobic cycling training program and underwent dual-task gait assessments pre- and post-training. Patients were classified into high-response group (n = 12) and low-response group (n = 30) according to whether the improvement in gait speed reached the minimal clinically important difference of 0.1 m/s. The clinical validity of this grouping was verified by comparing differences in cardiopulmonary exercise testing parameters and dual-task gait indicators between the two groups pre- and post-training. Based on baseline characteristics, Firth's penalized maximum likelihood logistic regression was applied to construct a predictive model for high responsiveness, and the discriminative performance of the model was assessed preliminarily. ResultsThe high-response group showed significantly greater improvement in gait speed, step length, cadence and the anaerobic threshold to maximal oxygen uptake ratio after training compared with the low-response group (P < 0.05), confirming the clinical validity of the grouping. The baseline anaerobic threshold to maximal oxygen uptake ratio (OR = 3.348), body mass index (OR = 2.229) and age (OR = 0.428) demonstrated certain discriminative ability in the present sample. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.831, with an overall prediction accuracy of 81.0%, specificity of 83.3% and sensitivity of 75.0%. Robustness of the model was confirmed via internal validation using the Bootstrap method, which suggested that the results were informative, but further validation was still required. ConclusionThe anaerobic threshold/maximal oxygen uptake ratio, body mass index and age may predict the response to short-term aerobic training in patients with PD.

Objective To analyze the infection status and epidemic trends of soil-borne nematode infections in Yubei, Chongqing City, in 2010,2021, and 2022. Methods The local populations from four survey sites of four towns in 2010 and five sites of five towns in 2021 and 2022 were surveyed regarding their basic information using a unified form. Fecal samples of the participants were collected and tested for soil-borne nematode infections using the modified Kato-Katz thick smear method. Results In 2010, 2 049 participants were surveyed, followed by 1 000 participants in 2021 and 2022. The overall prevalence of parasitic infections declined significantly from 3.86% to 0.20%. In 2010, soil-transmitted nematode included hookworms(3.81%) and roundworms(0.29%). In 2021, the infection rates of roundworms and hookworms were 1.70% and 0.10% respectively. Notably, only Ascaris was identified in 2022(0.20%). The≥60 age group consistently exhibited the highest infection rates across all surveys, followed by the 40-59 age group. The infection rates of males in the three surveys were 3.31%,1.92%, and 0.20% respectively, and those of females were 4.37%, 1.46%, and 0.20% respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the infection rates between males and females. Educational attainment was inversely associated with infection; in 2010, the highest prevalence was observed among those with primary education or below, whereas in 2021, illiterate or semi-literate individuals showed the highest susceptibility. The occupational distribution of infections in 2010 indicated that retirees (8.33%), farmers(4.86%), and homemakers or unemployed individuals(3.45%)were the most affected. However, in 2021 and 2022, farmers emerged as the predominant occupational group with soil-transmitted nematode infections. Conclusions The infection rate of soil-borne nematodes showed a decreasing trend in Yubei, and the infection species changed from hookworms in 2010 to Ascaris in 2022. Farmers, the elderly, and people with low education levels should continue to be the focus of preventive and control efforts.

ObjectiveTo develop a carbon nanoparticle-manganese dioxide (CN-MnO₂) injection integrating visually identifiable staining and magnetic resonance (MR) T₁/T₂ dual-modal imaging, and to systematically evaluate its physicochemical properties, critical quality attributes, biocompatibility, and efficacy for gastrointestinal marking and localization. MethodsCN-MnO₂ was prepared using a mild liquid-phase in situ redox deposition strategy and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The pH of CN-MnO₂ was directly measured using a pH meter. The osmolality pressure of CN-MnO₂ was determined by the freezing point depression method. The bacterial endotoxin was detected using the gel-clot Limulus amebocyte lysate test, which did not rely on absorbance readings. The appearance of the CN-MnO₂ injection solution stored at 4 ℃ under light shielding and sealed for 0, 5, and 10 days was observed, and its hydrated particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and pH were also measured. With gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) as the positive control, different concentration gradients were established, and T₁ and T₂ relaxation times were measured to construct concentration-dependent plots of the longitudinal and transverse relaxation rates (R₁ and R₂) and calculate the corresponding relaxivities (r₁ and r₂), compare relaxivity performance, and determine the working concentration for subsequent in vivo experiments. Cytocompatibility was assessed using the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and live/dead staining. Sixteen male 6-week-old SD rats were randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group (n=8 per group) and subcutaneously injected with CN-MnO₂ injection at a total Mn concentration of 0.80 mmol/L or an equal volume of normal saline, respectively. Short-term in vivo safety was evaluated by regular body weight monitoring, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of major organs, hematological and serum biochemical analyses, inflammatory cytokine detection, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) analysis. Eight male 5–6-month-old Bama minipigs were randomly assigned to a CN-MnO₂ group (n=6) and a carbon nanoparticle suspension injection (CNSI) group (n=2). CN-MnO₂ injection or CNSI was injected subserosally into the stomach, small intestine, and colon. Within 5 min after each injection, the maximum staining diameter at each injection site was measured and recorded. MR T1WI/T2WI scans were performed on days 3 and 7 after injection to evaluate MR visualization at the injection sites. At the end of observation, the injection sites and major organs were collected for histopathological evaluation by hematoxylin-eosin staining. ResultsCN-MnO₂ appeared as a black suspension, with no obvious aggregation or sedimentation after standing at room temperature (20-25 ℃) for 15 days. Its average hydrodynamic diameter was approximately (228.7±15.3) nm, the polydispersity index was 0.184±0.021, and the zeta potential was (-24.6±2.8) mV. XPS showed that CN-MnO₂ was mainly composed of C, O, and Mn, with oxygen accounting for approximately 68.82%. The Mn 2p spectrum exhibited two characteristic peaks at 642.4 and 653.1 eV. XRD indicated that low-crystallinity δ-MnO₂ was dispersed within the carbon matrix. The pH was 6.82±0.06, the osmolality was (298.4±6.7) mOsm/kg, and the bacterial endotoxin level was below the detection limit. In vitro MR imaging showed a clear concentration-dependent response, with r₁ and r₂ values of 9.6 L·mmol^-1·s^-1 and 17.2 L·mmol^-1·s^-1, respectively, indicating favorable T₁/T₂ contrast performance superior to that of Gd-DTPA. At 0.80 mmol/L, CN-MnO₂ showed no obvious cytotoxicity in vitro. Short-term safety evaluation in SD rats revealed no obvious inflammatory response, impairment of liver or renal function, or abnormal manganese accumulation in major organs. In Bama minipigs, the mean staining diameters of the CN-MnO₂ group in the stomach, small intestine, and colon were (0.65±0.12) cm, (0.61±0.11) cm, and (0.58±0.10) cm, respectively, with no significant difference among the three injection sites (P>0.05). The overall mean staining diameter was smaller in the CN-MnO₂ group than in the CNSI group (P<0.05). MR examinations showed that the injection sites were identifiable on both day 3 and day 7, with stronger signals observed on day 3. At the end of observation, no obvious pathological abnormalities were observed at the injection sites or in major organs. ConclusionA CN-MnO₂ injection with uniform particle size and stable physicochemical properties can be successfully prepared. This formulation integrates visible gastrointestinal staining with MR T₁/T₂ dual-modal imaging, providing a new strategy for preoperative gastrointestinal marking and localization as well as precise intraoperative resection.

Objective To explore the validity and feasibility of the left transthoracic and esophageal hiatal approach for Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction under a single position.Methods The clinical data of 64 patients with Siewert type Ⅱ AEG(single position transthoracic approach group)treated with the left transthoracic and esophageal hiatal approach under a single position and 56 patients with the laparoscopic transesophageal slit approach(transabdominal approach group)in the Department of Thoracic Surgery,Huaihe Hospital of Henan University,from January 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical and pathological data,perioperative indicators(operation time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative first ambulation time,postoperative first peristalsis time,postoperative drainage volume at 3 d,incidence of postoperative complications,postoperative hospital stay),postoperative complications(positive surgical margin,proximal esophageal resection margin,tumor diameter,total number of dissected lymph nodes,positive lymph node dissection rate,postoperative histopathology,and TNM staging of tumor pathology),and survival indicators(tumor recurrence and metastasis rate and survival at 1 month,3 months,6 months,1 year,3 years,5 years after surgery)were compared between the two groups.Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the postoperative survival rate of the two groups.Univariate analysis using χ2 test was employed to analyze factors influencing 5-year postoperative survival rate in Siewert type Ⅱ AEG patients.Results No significant difference was observed in clinical and pathological data,such as gender,age,American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)grade,tumor differentiation,pTNM stage,and tumor diameter between the two groups(P>0.05).No significant differences were noted in intraoperative blood loss,incidence of postoperative complications,and survival rates at 1 month,3 months,6 months,1 year,and 3 years after surgery between the two groups(P>0.05).The single position transthoracic approach group exhibited a higher postoperative drainage volume at 3 d compared to the transabdominal approach group(P<0.001),a shorter surgical time(P<0.001),a longer time to first mobilization,first intestinal peristalsis,and hospital stay after surgery(P<0.01),a longer proximal esophageal margin(P<0.001),a higher total number of lymph node dissections(P<0.001),and a higher positive lymph node dissection rate(P<0.05)than the transabdominal approach group.The 5-year recurrence-free survival rate of the single position transthoracic approach group was higher than that of the transabdominal approach group,with a statistically significant difference(P=0.013).The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed no statistically significant difference in the 5-year overall survival rate between the two groups of patients after surgery(P=0.456).The results of univariate analysis indicated that there are significant relationships between tumor differentiation degree,pTNM stage,tumor diameter,and lymph node positivity rate with the 5-year postoperative survival rate in Siewert type Ⅱ AEG patients(P<0.05).Conclusion Siewert type Ⅱ AEG patients can be treated with the left transthoracic and esophageal hiatal approach under a single position,achieving the same effect as laparoscopic transesophageal slit approach,and it can be actively promoted as a complementary choice of operation in the clinic.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism by which SOS Ras/Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1-intronic transcript 1(SOS1-IT1)affects enhancer of zeste homolog 2(EZH2)protein expression in endometrial cancer cells Ishikawa and RL95-2.Methods Lentiviral transfection of short hairpin RNA(shRNA)and overexpression plasmid were used in Ishikawa and RL95-2 cell lines to knock down and overexpress SOS1-IT1.The mechanism of EZH2 expression regulation was studied using Real-time PCR,Western blotting,and chromatin immunoprecipitation.Results The expression of SOS1-IT1 and EZH2 genes was positively correlated in endometrial cancer tissues.Knocking down SOS1-IT1 significantly reduces the expression of EZH2,inhibited the proliferation and migration of Ishikawa and RL95-2 cells,and could reduced the acetylation of histone H3 at position 27(H3K27)and the enrichment of CREB binding protein(CBP)in the EZH2 gene promoter region.Overexpression of SOS1-IT1 could increased the expression of EZH2 and enhance the acetylation of H3K27 and the enrichment of CBP.CBP could bind to SOS1-IT1 RNA,and this binding ability was weakened when CBP was knocked down.Conclusion SOS1-IT1 can promote the expression level of EZH2 in endometrial cancer cells Ishikawa and RL95-2 by regulating the acetylation modification level of the EZH2 gene promoter region,thereby affecting the proliferation and migration ability of endometrial cancer cells.

Objective To investigate the differences in physical fitness and physiological indexes of male soldiers stationed at different altitudes and to analyze the determinants of physical fitness of these soldiers.Methods A total of 13 648 male soldiers at different altitudes were included,whose results of annual military physical assessment and physiological indexes in 2023 were collected and comparatively analyzed.Results The 3000-meter running performance,30-meter × 2 serpentine running performance and resting blood oxygen saturation of high-altitude soldiers gradually declined with the increase of altitudes.The pull-up performance dropped significantly when the altitude＞2000 m.Soldiers ≥30 years old demonstrated a marked decline in physical fitness across different training programs.Moderate altitude acclimatization was conduciveto the recovery of physical fitness of soldiers,while exposure to high-altitude environment ≥5 years led to overall deterioration.Conclusion The high-altitude environment significantly impacts the aerobic endurance,speed,agility,and strength of soldiers.Altitude ≥4000 m,age ≥30 years,and prolonged exposure ≥5 years may contribute to the decline in physical fitness of soldiers.

Objective To investigate the effect of 3D technology combined with smartphones in problem-based learning(PBL)for neuroendoscopy.Methods 82 trainees who were enrolled from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the research subjects.A randomized controlled trial was conducted,and the subjects were divided into a control group and an experimental group.PBL and 3D technology combined with smartphone-assisted PBL were implemented respectively for two groups of students.The data were analyzed using t-test.Teaching satisfac-tion is evaluated by 2 test.Results The results of the in-operation examination and theoretical examination of the ex-perimental group students were found to be higher than those of the control group students(t=8.630,6.087,P＜0.001),the satisfaction scores of students and teachers showing that the satisfaction of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group(x2=4.213,6.301,7.026,P＜0.01).Conclusion In the PBL of neuroendosco-py,the use of 3D technology combined with smart phones as an auxiliary teaching system can effectively improve students'sense of participation,reduce the difficulty of skull base anatomy learning,and improve students'theo-retical and surgical assessment scores and teaching satisfaction.
