Objective:To analyze the iodine nutrition status of pregnant women in Weihai City before and after (2022, 2023) the iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) intervention, evaluate the effectiveness of intervention measures, and provide a scientific basis for adjusting IDD prevention strategies in the city.Methods:In May 2023, the intervention action of IDD was carried out for pregnent women in Weihai City. In April 2022 and December 2023, respectively, a cross-sectional survey method was conducted in four districts (cities) of Weihai City. Each district (city) was divided into five areas (east, west, south, north, and central) each year, and one township (street) was selected from each areas. At least 20 pregnant women were selected from each township (street) as survey subjects, and their household salt samples and random urine samples were collected to measure salt iodine and urinary iodine concentrations, and to compare the test results.Results:A total of 922 household salt samples were tested, including 530 iodized salt samples and 469 qualified iodized salt samples. The median salt iodine was 24.00 mg/kg. The coverage rate of iodized salt, the qualified rate of iodized salt, and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt were 57.48%, 88.49%, and 50.87%, respectively. No significant difference was observed in medians salt iodine between 2022 (24.26 mg/kg) and 2023 (24.00 mg/kg, Z = - 1.58, P = 0.113). However, the coverage rate of iodized salt and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt in 2023 werehigher than those in 2022 [73.72% (373/506) vs 37.74% (157/416), 65.22% (330/506) vs 33.41% (139/416), χ 2 = 120.90, 92.40, P < 0.001]. A total of 922 urine samples were collected from pregnant women, with a median urinary iodine of 135.90 μg/L. The median urinary iodine of pregnant women in 2022 was 113.55 μg/L. There was a statistically significant difference in medians urinary iodine among different regions ( H = 27.91, P < 0.001). The median urinary iodine of pregnant women in 2023 was 153.00 μg/L. There was no statistically significant difference in medians urinary iodine among different regions ( H = 3.33, P = 0.343). The medians urinary iodine of pregnant women in Huancui District, Wendeng District, and Rushan City in 2023 (156.60, 155.00, 140.85 μg/L) were higher than those in 2022 (93.60, 110.00, 110.70 μg/L), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z = - 5.44, - 4.92, - 5.99, P < 0.001). The median urinary iodine of pregnant women in Weihai City in 2023 showed a statistically significant difference compared to 2022 ( Z = - 7.62, P < 0.001). Conclusions:The IDD intervention measures in Weihai City have achieved good results, and the coverage of iodized salt, the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt, and the iodine nutrition level of pregnant women have improved. We should continue to implement intervention measures, improve the iodine nutrition level of key populations, and maintain a sustained elimination of IDD.

Background and Aims:Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPD)has become a preferred approach for periampullary tumors,yet delayed gastric emptying(DGE)remains a frequent complication that hampers postoperative recovery.The nasojejunal feeding tube(NJT)is commonly used for early enteral nutrition,but its impact on DGE is controversial.This study aimed to evaluate whether intraoperative NJT placement increases the risk of DGE after LPD and to assess its influence on postoperative recovery outcomes.Methods:A retrospective cohort of 319 patients who underwent LPD at Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from April 2017 to November 2023 was analyzed.Patients were divided into two groups based on intraoperative NJT placement(NJT group,n=200;non-NJT group,n=119).The incidence of DGE and postoperative outcomes were compared.Multivariate logistic regression and propensity score matching(PSM)were performed to identify independent risk factors for DGE.Results:The incidence of grade B/C DGE was significantly higher in the NJT group than in the non-NJT group(36.5%vs.21.8%,P=0.006).NJT placement was associated with longer postoperative hospital stay and higher hospitalization costs(both P<0.05).Multivariate analysis revealed intraoperative NJT placement(OR=1.960,95%CI=1.142-3.363,P=0.015)and intraoperative blood loss>400 mL(OR=1.921,95%CI=1.155-3.194,P=0.012)as independent risk factors for DGE.These findings were consistent after PSM.Conclusions:Prophylactic intraoperative NJT placement confers no additional benefit for postoperative recovery after LPD and is associated with a higher risk of DGE,prolonged hospitalization,and increased medical costs.Routine NJT placement should therefore be avoided,and individualized strategies should be adopted to minimize postoperative complications and enhance recovery.

Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of peripheral vascular intervention via the ipsilateral transulnar access(TUA)due to failure of transradial access(TRA)puncture.Methods The clinical data of 2546 peripheral vascular interventions via TRA,which were performed at authors'hospital between January 2019 and December 2021,were retrospectively analyzed.Among the 2546 interventions,TRA puncture failed in 37 procedures,and in 27 of these patients the ipsilateral TUA puncture had to be adopted.The puncture success rate,surgical success rate and puncture approach-related complications of TUA of the 27 patients receiving ipsilateral TUA puncture were analyzed.Results The success rate of ipsilateral TUA puncture after TRA puncture failed was 96.3％(26/27),and in one patient transfemoral access(TFA)puncture had to be substituted because of the ulnar artery spasm.The total success rate of interventional procedures was 96.3％(26/27).No serious complications occurred,and the incidence of minor complications was 19.2％(5/26).Conclusion Preliminary results indicate that for the experienced TRA operators,using ipsilateral TUA puncture due to failure of TRA puncture is a safe and feasible strategy choice.

TCM dispensing is the most basic clinical pharmaceutical work of TCM.In recent years,based on the 9 key technologies of TCM dispensing,the TCM dispensing industry has ushered in great development,and innovative TCM dispensing information system and intelligent dispensing equipment have appeared.This article sorted out the current situation of TCM dispensing industry and looked forward to its future development route.The results showed that the introduction of new technology and new equipment in the key technical links of procurement acceptance,dispensing review,TCM decocting,medication guidance and so on have improved the quality of dispensing service and ensured the quality and safety of medication.In the development of modern TCM dispensing industry,it is necessary to improve the quality control standard system,service standard system and core equipment standard system in the standardization of dispensing technology;in terms of talent cultivation in the field of dispensing,it is necessary to focus on restructuring and building new educational models to cultivate new medical talents that intersect medical and engineering fields;in terms of informatization and intelligence,it is necessary to develop intelligent equipment that is more in line with the characteristics of TCM,and further promote and improve the"shared TCM pharmacy"model.Through improving the content of TCM clinical pharmaceutical care,developing new technology and equipment of TCM dispensing,and improving the level of dispensing service and education,it is expected to gradually realize the standardization,informatization and intelligent development of modern TCM dispensing industry.

In order to make the shared traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） pharmacy develop more efficiently and normatively at the grass-roots level， using the “shared TCM pharmacy” as the retrieval word， this paper uses the literature research method to retrieve the reports， documents and policies from CNKI， the websites of people’s governments at all levels， the official websites of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine， people.com， China News Network， Xinhua News and other platforms before May 20， 2022， sort out the development mode and history of two “Internet plus” TCM pharmacies， namely “shared TCM pharmacies” and “smart TCM pharmacies”， and compare them with each other. Combined with the actual work of community hospitals and community service centers （stations）， the necessity and advantages （such as reducing the costs of the intermediate links of drug circulation and standardizing the grass-roots drug use process） of the development of “shared TCM pharmacy” are obtained from the perspective of primary medical care. Combined with the current situation of the promotion and application of shared TCM pharmacy in county medical communities， it is concluded that the shared TCM pharmacy should be further constructed from four aspects： improving the work process of drug centralized procurement under the background of normalization， improving the compatibility and synchronization of the whole process dispensing information system module， unifying pharmaceutical services and personnel training， defining the authority of data query and clarifying the boundaries of patient privacy to further build a shared TCM pharmacy. Finally， it integrates information technology， summarizes the definition of shared TCM pharmacy and its future construction direction， and provides reference for the next development of shared TCM pharmacy at the grass-roots level.
