Vacuum compression molding (VCM) is a novel technology supporting the research and development of pharmaceutical solid dispersions. It is widely applied due to its precision and convenience in sample preparation. This technology integrates the principles of heating, melting, cooling, and vacuum compression to transform solid powders into shaped solids directly. By selecting different molds, temperatures, and pressures, researchers can prepare samples with diverse characteristics. This paper presents an overview of the equipment composition and working principles of VCM technology, demonstrating its distinct advantages in the formulation screening process of amorphous solid dispersions through comparative analysis with hot melt extrusion using case studies, and introduces its applications in the development of drug delivery systems and rheological characterization analysis, with a perspective on the future development of its functions.

Objective To evaluate the application of ELISA randomized quality control,and continuously improve the laboratory testing capacity and quality assurance,in order to gradually improve the application of randomized quality control to the daily testing of ELISA.Methods Collected the quality control data of KEHUA HBsAg,compared the difference between randomized quality control data and immobilized quality control data.Group comparison of randomization quality control between rows and columns.The randomized quality control data were analyzed retrospectively and the quality control chart was established by using the randomized quality control data.Analyzed and compared the lost-control situation of randomized quality control and immobilized quality control.Results Randomized quality control S/CO value(2.831±0.343)and immobilized quality control S/CO value(2.651±0.260)in the same microplate,the difference between two was statistically significant(t=5.970,P＜0.05).The differences between randomized quality control and immobilized quality control in columns 2 to 8 were statistically significant(t=2.285～5.536,all P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences between randomized quality control and immobilized quality control in column 9 to 12(t=0.031～1.605,all P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in randomization quality control among all lines(F=0.858,P＞0.05).The randomized quality control data was used to establish a quality control chart.Within the time range of the collected data,the randomized quality control was out of control for 6 times,all were greater than+3s,and the loss of control rate was 4.72%(6/127).Fixed position quality control lost control 9 times during the same period,all of which were greater than+3s,with a loss of control rate of 0.61%(9/1 481).Conclusion The randomized quality control has a greater possibility to reflect the factors affecting all the samples on the microporous plate.Random quality control can be used to find possible systematic errors in testing.Randomized quality control can gradually be fully applied to daily indoor quality control,but the loss of control rate and coefficient of variation may increase.

There is significant inter-individual variation of pharmacokinetics and pharmacody-namics in patients receiving tacrolimus(TAC)for an-ti-rejection therapy,which cause the rejection or toxic action.Based on results of therapeutic drug monitoring and pathophysiological index of trans-plant patients,the individualized dosing regimen can be designed and adjusted by using model in-formed precision dosing(MIPD).The patients'clini-cal outcome can be improved.In the consensus,the different methods of MIPD used for patients re-ceived TAC for anti-rejection therapy were intro-duced,which can be used for the designing and ad-justing doing regimen,predicting adverse drug reac-tion,improving medication adherence and econom-ics during therapy.

Objective:To evaluate the changes of carotid intima thickness（CIT）and stiffness parameters in ankylosing spondylitis（AS）patients by 24 MHz ultra-high frequency ultrasound probe and RF-data based quantitative analysis on vessel stiffness（R-VQS），and to explore its influencing factors.Methods:Sixty patients with AS who underwent consultation at Henan Provincial People's Hospital from November 2023 to May 2024 were prospectively collected as AS group，54 healthy volunteers matched for sex，age，and body mass index were collected as control group. CIT were measured using a 24 MHz ultra-high frequency ultrasound probe，hardness coefficien（HC）and pulse wave velocity（PWV）were measured by R-VQS，the differences of the parameters between the two groups were compared. The changes of carotid artery elasticity and intima thickness and their influencing factors in patients with AS were explored by univariate and multivariate linear regression analysis.Results:①C-reactiveprotein，erythrocyte sedimentation rate（ESR），neutrophil count and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio（NLR）were elevated in the AS group compared with the control group，and the differences were statistically significant（all P < 0.05）. ②CIT，carotid intima-media thickness（CIMT），HC，PWV and epicardial adipose tissue thickness（EATT）were all increased in the AS group compared with the control group，and the differences were statistically significant（all P < 0.05）. ③Multifactorial linear regression analysis showed that EATT，ESR were the main influencing factors of HC，PWV and CIT（ β=2.192，0.031；1.792，0.002；0.097，0.001；all P＜0.05）. Conclusions:Carotid CIT，CIMT，HC，PWV and EATT are all higher in the AS patients，and ESR and EATT are the main influencing factors of HC，PWV，and CIT，suggesting that more attention should be paid to the detection of ESR and EATT in patients with AS when interventions are performed clinically.

Major depressive disorder in adolescents is a serious psychiatric condition characterized by profound impairment in psychosocial functioning. Its primary symptoms include low mood, irritability, and anhedonia. Although pharmacological treatments and psychotherapy are currently recommended as first-line treatments, their effectiveness is limited, and pharmacological treatments may carry the risk of increased suicidal ideation. Therefore, exploring new, effective, and safe treatment options is an urgent priority. In recent years, intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a novel form of transcranial magnetic stimulation, has shown promising results in treating treatment-resistant depression in adults, drawing growing interest in its potential use in adolescents. iTBS modulates neural activity through magnetic stimulation of the cerebral cortex and has been shown to alleviate depressive symptoms, particularly when targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Given the high neuroplasticity of the adolescent brain during this critical developmental stage, adolescents may exhibit heightened sensitivity to iTBS, resulting in more enduring neuroregulatory effects. Research highlights the importance of precise targeting and individualized adjustment of stimulation intensity for optimal therapeutic outcomes. Additionally, accelerated iTBS (aiTBS) protocols have demonstrated faster clinical effects in treating acute or severe depression in adolescents, improving treatment adherence and partially mitigating suicidal tendencies. This review summarizes recent progress in the application of iTBS in adolescent depression, with a focus on its mechanisms, treatment parameters, and related research. The goal is to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the clinical application of iTBS in adolescent depression care.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of lingual mucosal graft ureteroplasty (LMGU) for managing long-segment (≥5 cm) ureteral strictures in a multi-institutional cohort of patients.Methods:A multi-center retrospective case series study was conducted on clinical data from 42 patients undergoing LMGU for long-segment ureteral strictures (≥5 cm) across five institutions between February 2017 and June 2024. The cohort comprised 31 males and 11 females, with an age of (43.4±12.0) years (range: 15 to 64 years) and a body mass index of (24.6±2.6) kg/m2 (range: 16.0 to 30.0 kg/m2). Strictures involved the left ureter in 24 cases and right ureter in 18 cases, demonstrating a stricture length of (6.4±1.5) cm (range: 5.0 to 11.5 cm). Surgical interventions included either onlay ureteroplasty or augmented anastomotic ureteroplasty, selected according to intraoperative findings. Intraoperative parameters, postoperative complications, and follow-up outcomes were analyzed.Results:Laparoscopic surgery was performed in 22 cases and robot-assisted surgery in 20 cases. Among the 42 patients, 22 underwent onlay ureteroplasty while 20 received augmented anastomotic ureteroplasty. The graft length was (5.9±1.8) cm (range: 3.0 to 12.0 cm), operative time (191.5±55.6) minutes (range: 105.0 to 350.0 minutes), and intraoperative estimated blood loss (86.7±73.6) ml (range: 10.0 to 400.0 ml). All procedures were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery. The postoperative hospital stay was (7.6±2.0) days (range: 4.0 to 15.0 days), with double-J stent removal at 6 to 8 weeks postoperatively. During a follow-up of (49.1±25.0) months (range: 12.0 to 99.0 months), no stricture recurrence was observed in any patient.Conclusion:LMGU is a safe, feasible, and effective long-term technique for managing long-segment (≥5 cm) ureteral strictures.

Objective:To evaluate the outcomes of intensive conservative treatment compared to conventional conservative treatment in patients with acute aortic syndrome(AAS).Methods:The study prospectively enrolled consecutive patients with AAS who were admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital, affiliated with Capital Medical University, and Beijing Dawanglu Emergency Rescue Hospital from January 2024 to December 2024. These patients with surgical contraindications or refused surgery for various reasons opted for conservative treatment. A total of 282 patients were included, and 15 patients with missing data or those who died without any treatment were excluded. Finally, 267 patients were enrolled, of whom 94 received intensive conservative treatment, and 173 received conventional conservative treatment, the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to reduce the influence of confoundings. After adjusting of baseline datas via IPTW, the survival outcomes of the two groups were compared at 14 days, 30 days, and at the end of follow-up.Results:The results showed significant differences in acute phase survival rates between the enhanced conservative treatment group and the conventional conservative treatment group at 14 days(82.40%vs.53.20%, P<0.0001). Significant survival differences were also observed at 30 days and at 276-day mid-term follow-up (96.29% vs.51.60%, P<0.0001; 78.50% vs.48.50%, P<0.0001). In the subgroup analysis, for type A aortic dissection, the enhanced conservative treatment group had higher survival rates compared to the conventional conservative treatment group at 14, 30 and 276 days (63.46% vs.41.35%, P<0.05; 52.17% vs.37.90%, P<0.05; 50.00% vs. 31.97%, P<0.05). However, for type B aortic dissection, although the enhanced conservative treatment group had higher survival rates than the conventional conservative treatment group, no statistically significant differences were observed (96.29% vs. 80.00%, P=0.054; 95.65% vs.78.37%, P=0.067; 94.12% vs.74.20%, P=0.088). Conclusion:For patients diagnosed with AAS are forced to choose conservative treatment if emergency surgery is not possible in the first place, intensive conservative treatment strategies can significantly reduce the mortality in the acute phase compared with conventional conservative treatment. Mid-term follow-up, intensive conservative treatment still has a significant survival advantage.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of the transverse process-lateral pedicle approach and curved vertebroplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 66 patients with OVCF admitted to the Second People′s Hospital of Hefei from December 2021 to June 2023, including 9 males and 57 females aged 60-89 years [(75.6±7.5)years]. The injured segments included T 11 in 17 patients, T 12 in 17, L 1 in 17, and L 2 in 15. Among them, 33 patients underwent vertebroplasty via the transverse process-lateral pedicle approach (lateral approach group), while other 33 patients underwent curved vertebroplasty (curved group). The surgical duration, number of X-ray fluoroscopy, bone cement injection volume, and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups. Additionally, the restoration efficiency of vertebral height and the correction degree of spinal scoliosis Cobb angle at 2 days postoperatively were compared between the two groups. The changes in serum levels of stress factors including noradrenaline, adrenaline, and cortisol preoperatively and at 2 days postoperatively, the visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) preoperatively, at 2 days, 6 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up were compared between the two groups. The incidence of complications was assessed in the two groups. Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-14 months [(13.2±0.5)months]. The surgical duration and number of X-ray fluoroscopy in the lateral approach group were (30.9±4.1)minutes and (5.9±3.3)times, which were significantly lower than (35.8±3.9)minutes and (9.9±4.4)times in the curved group ( P<0.01). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of bone cement injection volume, length of hospital stay, restoration efficiency of vertebral height at 2 days postoperatively, or the correction degree of spinal scoliosis Cobb angle ( P>0.05). The levels of noradrenaline, adrenaline, and cortisol at 2 days postoperatively were (57.3±4.8)ng/ml, (49.9±4.2)ng/ml, (159.3±20.5)nmol/L in the lateral approach group, and (64.3±4.5)ng/ml, (58.3±4.4)ng/ml, (183.5±21.2)nmol/L in the curved group, which were all significantly increased compared with those preoperatively [(42.3±3.5)ng/ml, (38.5±2.8)ng/ml, (128.4±12.3)nmol/L in the lateral approach group and (42.0±3.5)ng/ml, (39.0±3.0)ng/ml, (128.5±12.3)nmol/L in the curved group] ( P<0.01). There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the levels of noradrenaline, adrenaline, and cortisol preoperatively ( P>0.05). The levels of noradrenaline, adrenaline, and cortisol at 2 days postoperatively in the lateral approach group were significantly lower than those in the curved group ( P<0.01). The VAS scores for low back pain in the lateral approach group and the curved group were 3(2, 5)points and 5(3, 6)points at 2 days postoperatively, 3(2, 4)points and 3(2, 4)points at 6 months postoperatively, and 2(2, 3)points and 2(2, 4)points at the last follow-up, which were all significantly lower than those preoperatively [7(7, 9)points and 8(6, 9)points] ( P<0.05). Moreover, the VAS scores for low back pain were further decreased over time postoperatively ( P<0.05). The ODI values in the lateral approach group and curved group were (33.4±4.4)% and (33.7±4.3)% at 2 days postoperatively, (23.8±1.6)% and (23.8±1.7)% at 6 months postoperatively, and (15.6±0.9)% and (15.6±0.9)% at the last follow-up, which were all significantly lower than (67.4±4.3)% and (67.5±4.3)% preoperatively ( P<0.05). Moreover, the ODI values were further decreased over time postoperatively ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the VAS scores for low back pain or ODI values preoperatively, at 2 days, 6 months postoperatively or at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). The complication rate was 12.1% (4/33) in the lateral approach group, which was significantly lower than 51.5% (17/33) in the curved group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Although both the transverse process-lateral pedicle approach vertebroplasty and the curved vertebroplasty can achieve good therapeutic effects in the treatment of OVCF, the former has shorter surgical duration, fewer times of X-ray fluoroscopy, lower trauma stress levels at 2 days postoperatively, and fewer complications.
