OBJECTIVE To explore comprehensive management and potential issues associated with long-term prescriptions medications of psychiatry, in order to provide a reference for the comprehensive management of long-term prescriptions of psychiatry in psychiatric hospitals and other medical institutions’ pharmacies. METHODS Starting from the applicable principles for long-term prescriptions of psychiatry, this study introduced the standardized assessment and precautions before issuing long-term prescriptions, the formulation and adjustment of the drug list, as well as the rational management of the long-term prescriptions. It also analyzed potential issues that may arise in the comprehensive management of long-term prescription medications and proposed corresponding countermeasures and suggestions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS Prior to initiating long-term prescriptions, a standardized assessment should be conducted on patients from the aspects of their psychiatric condition and long-term potential risk factors, pharmacological treatment plans and other non-pharmacological therapies, physical illnesses. Additionally, healthcare providers should fulfill their obligation to inform patients or their family members. The comprehensive management of long-term prescription medications should be jointly established and improved by multiple departments, and the formulation of drug catalogs should avoid including drugs with potential social harm or medication risks while complying with policy requirements. Furthermore, measures such as adding special identifiers to long-term prescriptions, providing patients with reminders about (No.YGLX202537) prescription expiration, or offering online consultations can also effectively enhance the rationality of medication use under long-term prescriptions. Currently, the implementation of long-term prescriptions in psychiatry remains challenged by inconsistencies in prescription duration, incomplete coverage of diagnostic categories, poor patient adherence, and the risk of deviation in clinical assessments. In this regard, measures such as collaborating with multiple departments to strengthen long-term prescription information management, providing matching pharmaceutical services, ensuring the quality and rationality of long-term prescription implementation, and using modern methods to screen high-risk patients can be taken to improve patient medication compliance and safety.

Growth arrest DNA damage-inducible protein 45 β (GADD45B) has been reported to be a regulatory factor for active DNA demethylation and is implicated in the modulation of synaptic plasticity and chronic stress-related psychopathological processes. However, its precise role and mechanism of action in stress susceptibility remain elusive. In this study, we found a significant reduction in GADD45B expression specifically in the ventral, but not the dorsal hippocampal CA1 (dCA1) of stress-susceptible mice. Furthermore, we demonstrated that GADD45B negatively regulates susceptibility to social stress and NMDA receptor-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) in the ventral hippocampal CA1 (vCA1). Importantly, through pharmacological inhibition using the NMDA receptor antagonist MK801, we provided further evidence supporting the hypothesis that GADD45B potentially modulates susceptibility to social stress by influencing NMDA receptor-mediated LTP. Collectively, these results suggested that modulation of NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic plasticity is a pivotal mechanism underlying the regulation of susceptibility to social stress by GADD45B.

In the context of aging population, the issue of polypharmacy among elderly patients with mental disorders has become increasingly prominent.Cognitive decline and depressive symptoms render these patients more vulnerable to medication-related risks, while poorly managed physical illnesses further complicate their treatment.To address these challenges, this paper proposes a series of management strategies that emphasize the critical role of pharmacists in conducting medication reviews.A comprehensive assessment of drug risks, benefits, and patient adherence is essential.The proposed strategies not only require careful consideration of patients' clinical needs and individual preferences but also highlight the importance of multidisciplinary team collaboration to reach a consensus on medication therapy.The use of clinical decision support systems as an auxiliary tool is recommended to enhance the scientific rigor of medication decision-making.Furthermore, pharmacists can optimize medication regimens through scientifically validated methods and promote patient or family involvement in self-management to improve acceptance and adherence to treatment adjustments.

Objective:To explore the relationship between blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels and the risk of all-in-hospital mortality in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) complicated with pneumonia.Methods:This study was a secondary analysis of a multicenter, retrospective cohort study, with data sourced from the DATADRYAD database of five hospitals in Japan (Kameda Hospital, Hyogo Hospital, Awa Hospital, Saiseikai Hospital, and Ichinomiyanishi Hospital). The database included 1 237 cases of AECOPD with pneumonia hospitalized from April 2008 to August 2019, aged≥40 years. After excluding 11 cases with missing BUN level data at admission, a total of 1 226 patients were included in this secondary analysis. BUN level at admission was used as the target independent variable, and all-cause in-hospital mortality during hospitalization was the dependent variable. Risk ratio regression analysis was used to assess the independent correlation between BUN level and the risk of in-hospital mortality due to AECOPD complicated with pneumonia; generalized additive models and smoothing curve fitting methods were applied to explore nonlinear relationships, followed by subgroup analyses to evaluate the consistency of the association across different subgroups and further validate the reliability of the findings.Results:After adjusting for potential confounding factors such as gender and age, BUN levels were positively correlated with the risk of all-cause in-hospital mortality [ OR=1.09(95% CI: 1.01-1.17), P=0.032]. There was a relationship between BUN levels and the risk of all-cause in-hospital mortality, with a turning point at 43.3 mg/dl. The sizes and 95% CI on either side of the turning point were 1.04(0.93-1.16) and 1.08(1.05-1.12), respectively. When BUN>43.3 mg/dl, BUN was correlated with the risk of all-cause in-hospital mortality, with an 8.0% increase in the risk of death for every 1.0 mg/dl increase in BUN ( P<0.05); when BUN<43.3 mg/dl, there was no significant relationship between BUN and the risk of all-cause in-hospital mortality ( P=0.534). Subgroup analysis indicated that in each subgroup of gender, age, source hospital, fever, respiratory, heart rate, crackles in the lungs, change in mental status, corticosteroid therapy, intubation, complete assistance with activities of daily living, medical insurance, and length of hospital stay, the OR value of BUN level had good stability (all OR>1.00) with the risk of all-cause mortality in AECOPD patients with pneumonia. Conclusions:BUN levels are associated with the risk of all-cause in-hospital mortality in patients with AECOPD complicated with pneumonia. When BUN>43.3 mg/dl, BUN levels are positively correlated with the risk of all-cause in-hospital mortality in these patients.

Objective:To observe the effects of medical tissue glue on skin repair after facial tumor resection.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for 32 patients who underwent facial tumor resection in the Shenshan Medical Center, Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from October 2021 to May 2022, including 22 males and 10 females, with a median age of 36 (2-66) years. Patients were divided into the medical tissue glue group ( n=15) and the suture group ( n=17) based on the method of skin closure after surgery. The operation time, grade A wound healing rate and Vancouver scar scale (VSS) score were compared between the two groups. Satisfaction evaluation was performed independently by patients 6 months after incision healing. Results:The operation time of the medical tissue glue group and the suture group were (44.07±7.00) and (47.41±9.06) minutes, the VSS scores were (1.93±0.96) and (1.88±0.84) points, respectively. The differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The grade A wound healing rate of patients in the medical tissue glue group was 100.0% (15/15), the satisfaction rate was 100.0% (15/15), of which 10 cases were satisfied and 5 cases were relatively satisfied. The grade A wound healing rate of patients in the suture group was 100.0% (17/17), the satisfaction rate was 100.0% (17/17), of which 13 cases were satisfied and 4 cases were relatively satisfied. Conclusion:Medical tissue glue can achieve good cosmetic results in facial tumor resection.
