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.

The plateau region is known for its unique environmental characteristics of low oxygen, low pressure, strong radiation, cold and dryness. Under the low oxygen environment, human physiological functions and drug metabolism are significantly affected. In order to gain a deeper understanding of drug metabolism in the plateau hypoxic environment and to guide the rational use of drugs in the plateau region, the effects of plateau hypoxia on drug metabolism were reviewed in this paper, which focused on changes in metabolic profiles, enzyme activity and expression, and probed the relevant mechanisms in depth.

ObjectiveTo explore the anti-eczema efficacy and mechanism of Mongolian medicine Cymbaria dahurica n-butanol extract. MethodsThe compounds of C. dahurica n-butanol extract were obtained by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbital trap high resolution mass spectrometry （UPLC-Q-Exactive MS） analysis and literature mining. GEO chip analysis and network pharmacology were employed to predict potential targets and pathways for the anti-eczema effect. Seventy-five mice were randomized into a normal group （10 mice） and a modeling group （65 mice）. The model was induced by 1% dinitrochlorobenzene （DNCB） for 3 days. The modeled mice were grouped as follows： Positive drug （hydrocortisone butyrate cream， 250 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） and low-， medium-， and high-dose （95.94， 191.88， and 383.76 mg·kg^-1·d^-1， respectively） C. dahurica n-butanol extract， with 13 mice in each group. From day 5 of the experiment， 0.5% DNCB was applied， once every other day， until day 22. At the same time， drugs were applied daily from day 5. The appearance damage of back skin of mice in each group was analyzed. The pathological changes of the back skin of mice in each group were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and toluidine blue （TB） staining. The levels of inflammatory factors ［histamine （HIS）， interleukin-4 （IL-4）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-8 （IL-8）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TFN-α）］， thymic stromal lymphopoietin （TSLP）， and immunoglobulin E （IgE） in the serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Metabolomics analysis was performed for the mouse skin. The HaCaT cell model of eczema was induced with TNF-α/interferon-γ （IFN-γ）. The secretion levels of IL-6， IL-8， thymus and activation-regulated chemokine （TARC/CCL17）， macrophage-derived chemokine （MDC）， and TSLP in the cell supernatant from each group were measured by ELISA， while the protein levels of phosphorylated （p）-Janus kinase 2 （JAK2）， JAK2， p-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）， and STAT3 were assessed by Western blot. ResultsThrough UPLC-Q-Exactive MS and literature review， a total of 125 compounds of C. dahurica n-butanol extract were obtained. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis showed that the anti-eczema mechanism of C. dahurica n-butanol extract may be related to the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription （JAK/STAT） pathway. The results of animal experiments showed that compared with the normal group， the modeling group exhibited redness， swelling， exudation， erosion， and scab formation on the back skin surface， and thickened dermis and epidermis with inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the modeling group， the positive drug and C. dahurica n-butanol alleviated the skin lesions （including redness， swelling， exudation， roughness， and keratosis and scab formation on the back）， reduced the thickness of dermis and epidermis， mitigated inflammatory cell infiltration， and restored the skin tissue structure. Compared with the normal group， the modeling group showed elevated levels of HIS， IL-4， IL-6， IL-8， TNF-α， TSLP， and IgE （P<0.05， P<0.01）， which were reversed in the positive drug group and C. dahurica n-butanol extract groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The results of metabolomics analysis showed that 12 differential metabolites might be the key substances for mitigating metabolic disorders of the skin and were closely related to the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. The cell experiement showed that compared with the normal group， the model group exhibited upregulated expression levels of IL-6， IL-8， MDC， TARC， TSLP， p-JAK2， p-STAT3， p-JAK2/JAK2， and p-STAT3/STAT3 in HaCaT cells （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， C. dahurica n-butanol extract and dexamethasone downregulated the expression levles of these molecules （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionC. dahurica n-butanol extract may play an anti-eczema role by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway， reducing the inflammatory response， and correcting the metabolic disorder.

Intraoperative cell salvage (IOCS) has been widely applied as an important blood conservation measure in surgical operations. However, there is currently a lack of clinical practice guidelines for the implementation of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors. This report aims to provide clinicians with recommendations on the use of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors based on the review and assessment of the existed evidence. Data were derived from databases such as PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Wanfang. The guideline development team formulated recommendations based on the quality of evidence, balance of benefits and harms, patient preferences, and health economic assessments. This study constructed seven major clinical questions. The main conclusions of this guideline are as follows: 1) Compared with no perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (NPABT), perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (PABT) leads to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 2) Compared with the transfusion of allogeneic blood or no transfusion, IOCS does not lead to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 3) The implementation of IOCS in cancer patients is economically feasible (Recommended); 4) Leukocyte depletion filters (LDF) should be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Strongly Recommended); 5) Irradiation treatment of autologous blood to be reinfused can be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Recommended); 6) A careful assessment of the condition of cancer patients (meeting indications and excluding contraindications) should be conducted before implementing IOCS (Strongly Recommended); 7) Informed consent from cancer patients should be obtained when implementing IOCS, with a thorough pre-assessment of the patient's condition and the likelihood of blood loss, adherence to standardized internally audited management procedures, meeting corresponding conditions, and obtaining corresponding qualifications (Recommended). In brief, current evidence indicates that IOCS can be implemented for some malignant tumor patients who need allogeneic blood transfusion after physician full evaluation, and LDF or irradiation should be used during the implementation process.

Objective To analyze differences of purified water,softened water,and concentrated softened water on the decontamination effects for surgical instruments,so as to provide a reliable reference for the selection of cleaning water for surgical instruments.Methods The physical and chemical indexes and components of concentrated softened water,softened water,and purified water were detected,and their cleaning effects for instrument were compared.The decontamination cleaning experiment was conducted in three hospitals with different types of cleaning water using mini cleaning machines,and the differences in the decontamination time were analyzed.The cleaning and decontamination experiments on contaminated instruments was performed using a spray cleaning and disinfection device,and the cleaning effects of instruments with different types of cleaning water were analyzed.Results Calcium content and hardness of the three types of cleaning water were all at a low level,which can avoid scale adhesion for cleaning surgical instruments.There were statistically significant differences in the pH value,conductivity,and contents of calcium,sodium and chloride among the three cleaning waters(P<0.05).The purified water was weakly acidic,and its conductivity,hardness,and contents of calcium,sodium and chloride were all at low levels.The softened water and concentrated softened water were weakly alkaline,with high levels of conductivity and sodium content and low level of chloride.There were statistically significant differences in the decontamination time of the purified water,softened water and concentrated softened water among hospitals(P<0.05).Under the same contamination condition of surgical instruments,there was a statistically significant difference in the qualified rate of instruments cleaning in the upper and lower cleaning baskets with different cleaning waters(P<0.05).Conclusion Concentrated softened water and softened water have high sodium content,and their decontamination and cleaning abilities are significantly stronger than those of the purified water.Purified water has poorer effects in instruments cleaning for its deionized property.Using concentrated softened water or softened water in the surgical instrument cleaning process can achieve effects of reducing consumption and increasing efficiency,which is conducive to improving cleaning efficiency and quality.

The development of anticancer drugs to treat triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an ongoing challenge. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) has garnered considerable interest worldwide as a promising synergistic modality for cancer chemoimmunotherapy. However, only few drugs or treatment modalities can trigger an ICD response and none of them exert a considerable clinical effect against TNBC. Therefore, new agents with potentially effective chemoimmunotherapeutic response are required. In this study, five new cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes containing isoquinoline alkaloid CˆN ligands were designed and synthesized. Among them, Ir-1 exhibited the highest in vitro cytotoxicity. Mechanistically, Ir-1 could trigger autophagy-dependent ferroptosis and a subsequent ferroptosis-dependent ICD response as well as indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibition via reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in MDA-MB-231 cells. When immunocompetent BALB/c mice were vaccinated with Ir-1-treated dying TNBC cells, antitumor CD8⁺ T-cell response and Foxp3⁺ T-cell depletion were induced, resulting in long-lasting antitumor immunity in TNBC cells. Moreover, combination therapy with Ir-1 and anti-PD1 could substantially augment in vivo therapeutic effects. Based on these results, Ir-1 is a promising candidate for chemoimmunotherapy against TNBC and its effects are mediated synergistically via ICD induction and IDO blockage.

Ovarian tumor (OT) is the most lethal form of gynecologic malignancy, with minimal improvements in patient outcomes over the past several decades. Metastasis is the leading cause of ovarian cancer-related deaths, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Psychological stress is known to activate the glucocorticoid receptor (NR3C1), a factor associated with poor prognosis in OT patients. However, the precise mechanisms linking NR3C1 signaling and metastasis have yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, we demonstrate that chronic restraint stress accelerates epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis in OT through an NR3C1-dependent mechanism involving nuclear protein 1 (NUPR1). Mechanistically, NR3C1 directly regulates the transcription of NUPR1, which in turn increases the expression of snail family transcriptional repressor 2 (SNAI2), a key driver of EMT. Clinically, elevated NR3C1 positively correlates with NUPR1 expression in OT patients, and both are positively associated with poorer prognosis. Overall, our study identified the NR3C1/NUPR1 axis as a critical regulatory pathway in psychological stress-induced OT metastasis, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for intervention in OT metastasis.

Hemorrhagic shock is a common clinical emergency that can aggravate cell injury after resuscitation. Astrocytes are crucial for the survival of neurons because they regulate the surrounding ionic microenvironment of neurons. Although hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (HSR) injury can impair cognition, it remains unclear how this insult directly affects astrocytes. In this study, we established an HSR model by bleeding and re-transfusion in mice. The social interaction test and new object recognition test were applied to evaluate post-operative cognitive changes, and the results suggest that mice experience cognitive impairment following exposure to HSR. In the HSR group, the power spectral density of β and γ oscillations decreased, and the coupling of the θ oscillation phase and γ oscillation amplitude was abnormal, which indicated abnormal neuronal oscillation and cognitive impairment after HSR exposure. In brief, cognitive impairment in mice is strongly correlated with Ca²⁺ signal strength in lateral septum astrocytes following HSR.

Nipah virus (NiV) and related viruses form a distinct henipavirus genus within the Paramyxoviridae family. NiV continues to spillover into the humans causing deadly outbreaks with increasing human-bat interaction. NiV encodes the large protein (L) and phosphoprotein (P) to form the viral RNA polymerase machinery. Their sequences show limited homologies to those of non-henipavirus paramyxoviruses. We report two cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the Nipah virus (NiV) polymerase L-P complex, expressed and purified in either its full-length or truncated form. The structures resolve the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and polyribonucleotidyl transferase (PRNTase) domains of the L protein, as well as a tetrameric P protein bundle bound to the L-RdRp domain. L-protein C-terminal regions are unresolved, indicating flexibility. Two PRNTase domain zinc-binding sites, conserved in most Mononegavirales, are confirmed essential for NiV polymerase activity. The structures further reveal anchoring of the P protein bundle and P protein X domain (XD) linkers on L, via an interaction pattern distinct among Paramyxoviridae. These interactions facilitate binding of a P protein XD linker in the nucleotide entry channel and distinct positioning of other XD linkers. We show that the disruption of the L-P interactions reduces NiV polymerase activity. The reported structures should facilitate rational antiviral-drug discovery and provide a guide for the functional study of NiV polymerase.
