BACKGROUND:The previous study of the research group confirmed that Bushen Zhuangjin Decoction can regulate bone metabolism and play an anti-osteoporosis role,and nanocrystalline collagen-based bone can assist in the repair of limb bone defects.OBJECTIVE:To explore the repair effect of nanocrystalline collagen-based bone combined with Bushen Zhuangjin Decoction on osteoporotic bone defects.METHODS:Totally 84 female SD rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group(n=6,no modeling)and a bilateral ovariectomy group(n=78).After 12 weeks of bilateral ovariectomy,the sham operation group(n=6)and the bilateral ovariectomy group(n=6)were selected for osteoporosis modeling verification.The remaining 72 rats in the bilateral ovariectomy group were randomly divided into 6 intervention groups,with 12 rats in each group:groups A-E had femoral defect models(diameter 3.5 mm,depth 4 mm)established 12 weeks after bilateral ovariectomy.Group A was given double distilled water by gavage(once a day)after surgery;group B was given Bushen Zhuangjin Decoction by gavage(once a day)after surgery;group C had nanocrystalline collagen-based bone filled in the bone defect and then given double distilled water by gavage(once a day);group D had nanocrystalline collagen-based bone filled in the bone defect and then given alendronate sodium by gavage(once a week);group E had nanocrystalline collagen-based bone filled in the bone defect and then given Bushen Zhuangjin Decoction by gavage(once a day);group F had femoral defect models established at the same time after bilateral ovariectomy,and bone defect sites were filled with nanocrystalline collagen-based bone and then given Bushen Zhuangjin Decoction by gavage(once a day).All drugs were given continuously for 12 weeks.12 hours after the last administration,serum levels of type Ⅰ procollagen amino-terminal propeptide,type Ⅰ collagen cross-linked C-terminal peptide,and estradiol were detected;bone volume in the bone defect area was detected by Micro-CT.The expression of type Ⅰ collagen and vascular endothelial growth factor in the bone defect area was detected by immunohistochemical staining.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with group A,the serum level of type Ⅰ procollagen amino-terminal propeptide in groups D and E was decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with groups A and C,the serum estradiol level in groups D,E,and F was increased(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the bone volume in the defect area between groups A-F(P＞0.05).(2)Immunohistochemical staining showed that compared with group A,the expression of typeⅠ collagen and vascular endothelial growth factor in groups B,D,and E increased(P＜0.05).Compared with group C,the expression of type Ⅰ collagen in groups B,D,E,and F increased(P＜0.05),and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in groups D,E,and F increased(P＜0.05).(3)The results show that nanocrystalline collagen-based bone combined with Bushen Zhuangjin Decoction may have the potential to repair bone defects in ovariectomized osteoporotic rats.

Metering unit is important component of medical service items and also serve as significant bases for scientifically estimating the costs of medical services.National Technical Specification of Medical Service Items(2023 Edition)has set up elements such as"metering unit"and"adjustment coefficient for resource consumption in special circumstances",which clearly stipulate the metering units of each medical service item and the multiples for discretionary increases or decreases in the overall resource consumption when special circumstances occur.These two elements are important references for the cost accounting in medical institutions.The project team has elaborated on the definitions,establishment principles and special circumstances of these two types of elements,namely"metering units"and"adjustment coefficient for resource consumption in special circumstances",providing references for the application of relevant governments and healthcare institutions.

The relative value of human resource consumption is a relative value scale of the workload and difficulty of medical personnel needed to provide medical service items.Based on"basic human resource consumption and time consumption","technical difficulty"and"risk level"of the medical service items,it is comprehensively calculated by"relative value indicator standardization","relative value indicator weight setting","relative value indicator calculation model construction",and"relative value indicator expert verification".By formulating the relative value of human resource consumption,it could be used in rationalizing the relative value scale of medical service items,promoting cost accounting in hospitals,and establishing a scientific and reasonable performance evaluation system as technical tools.

An 8-year-old male child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL)developed signs of methotrexate(MTX)toxicity—such as vomiting,chest tightness,and rapidly elevated serum creatinine and uric acid levels—on the second day after his first high-dose methotrexate(HD-MTX)treatment.The toxicity is considered due to delayed excretion of methotrexate.The clinical pharmacist assisted the medical team in formulating a treatment plan that included adequate hydration and alkalinization,leucovorin rescue,and subsequent dose adjustment of MTX,based on therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacogenetic testing results.By day 11,the patient's MTX plasma concentration,serum creatinine,and uric acid levels had returned to safe ranges.In this case,the clinical pharmacists used pharmaceutical knowledge to analyze potential factors contributing to delayed MTX elimination,and assisted the treatment team to improve the safety and efficacy of drug therapy.This case provides valuable experience for the standardized management of similar pediatric patients.

The assignment of the"item code"element in National Technical Specification of Medical Service Items(Version 2023)continues the classification framework and coding rules of National Specification of Medical Service Price Items(Version 2012).The project team experts are members of the WHO-Family of International Classifications(WHO-FIC)China Classification,Terminology and Standards Collaborating Center.The design concept of project coding is the same as that of the International Classification of Health Interventions(ICHI).Both adopt an alphanumeric characters hybrid coding classification method based on multi-axis classification,clarified the definition and scope of these four key classification axis which including anatomy system,anatomical site,surgical procedure and surgical approach,and optimize and update item property,sub-classifications and coding.Unified medical service item code can make contribution to the comparability of statistics related to health care items across regions,promote cross-regional healthcare and healthcare insurance settlement at the national level;improve its refined management level in hospital,and play an important role in performance management and data statistical analysis.
