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.

Objective:To investigate the neuro-electrophysiological characteristics of patients with primary brain stem hemorrhage (PBSH).Methods:This is a retrospective case series study. The clinical data of 17 PBSH patients with Glasgow coma score 3 to 8 points who were admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2022 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 14 males and 3 females, with an age( M (IQR)) of 46.0(14.0) years (range: 18.0 to 70.0 years).All patients underwent electro-physiological monitoring within 28 days after the onset of the disease. According to Glasgow outcome scale(GOS) 6 months after onset, PBSH patients were divided into two groups: unregained consciousness group with (GOS 1 to 2 points, 13 cases) and regained consciousness group (GOS 3 to 5 points, 4 cases). The neuro-electrophysiological indicators involved in this study included short latency somosensory evoked potential (SLSEP) component N20, brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP), electroencephalogram (EEG) background activity, EEG reactivity (EEG-R), EEG sleep structure waves, absolute amplitude of N1 at electrode Fz (FzN1A) and Cz (CzN1A), respectively, absolute amplitude of mismatch negativity at electrode Fz (FzMMNA) and Cz (CzMMNA), respectively. Then, the Fisher exact probability test and Mann Whitney U test were used for counting data and measurement data, respectively, to analyze the differences of neuro-electrophysiological indicators between the two groups. Results:The EEG background activity of 17 PBSH patients was mainly α-mode, α-θ mode and θ mode. Four patients with α-mode, 3 of whom regained consciousness (all with EEG-R). There were 3 patients with α-θ pattern. And 5 patients with θ pattern, 2 of whom died. Five patients with background EEG activity of delta pattern had poor prognosis, of which 4 patients died and 1 patient survived but did not regain consciousness 6 months after onset. SLSEP component N20 were absent bilaterally in 12 cases and BAEP in 5 cases. FzN1A and CzN1A were not extracted in 4 cases, and FzMMNA and CzMMNA were not extracted in 6 cases. The study showed that BAEP, EEG background activity, EEG-R, FzN1A, CzN1A, FzMMNA and CzMMNA were different between the two groups (all P<0.05), while there was no difference between N20 and EEG sleep structure (all P>0.05). Conclusion:The neuro-electrophysiological indicators including BAEP, EEG background activity, EEG-R, FzN1A, CzN1A, FzMMNA, and CzMMNA may be related to whether PBSH patients can regain consciousness 6 months after onset, and it is best to combine multiple indicators for comprehensive analysis in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVES:
To assess the therapeutic effect of aucubin in mice with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and investigate the underlying mechanism.
METHODS:
Sixty C57BL/6J mice were randomized equally into sham operation group, KOA model group, glucosamine (positive control) treatment group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose aucubin treatment groups (2, 4, and 8 mg/kg, respectively). KOA mouse models were established by transection of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), and the treatment was initiated on day 1 postoperatively and administered weekly for 8 weeks. Safranin O-fast green staining, immunohistochemistry, and microCT were used to evaluate the changes in cartilage pathology, inflammatory protein expression, and subchondral bone volume fraction (BV/TV). The expression levesl of COL2, SOX9, p-P65, IL-1β and MMP13 proteins in the cartilage tissues were detected using Western blotting. In a chondrocyte model with IL-1β treatment for mimicking KOA, the effect of aucubin on chondrogenic differentiation was observed with Alcian blue and Safranin O staining, and cellular COL2, SOX9 and TNF‑α mRNA expressions were detected with RT-qPCR.
RESULTS:
Compared with those in the model group, the mouse models receiving aucubin treatment showed significantly upregulated COL2 and SOX9 protein levels and downregulated p-P65, IL-1β and MMP13 expressions in the cartilage tissues. In the IL-1β-induced chondrocyte model, aucubin treatment significantly upregulated the mRNA expressions of SOX9 and COL2 but lowered the mRNA expression of TNF-α. Alcian blue and Safranin O staining confirmed that aucubin promoted the synthesis of cartilage extracellular matrix and enhanced chondrogenic differentiation of the cells.
CONCLUSIONS
Aucubin can effectively alleviate KOA in mice by inhibiting NF‑κB-mediated cartilage inflammation, promoting cartilage matrix synthesis, and improving subchondral bone microstructure.

By consulting the ancient and modern literature, the name, origin, quality evaluation, harvesting and processing methods of Curculiginis Rhizoma(CR) were systematically combed and verified, in order to provide a basis for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing CR. The results of herbal textual research showed that the name Xianmao was first recorded in Leigong Paozhilun, the name of CR was used in all dynasties and this name came from its efficacy and morphological characteristics, the mainstream source for CR of the past dynasties was the rhizome of Curculigo orchioides or C. capitulata, since modern times, C. orchioides has been the main source of commodities. In ancient times, most of the places of origin of the description were the western regions and southwest China, while in modern times, Sichuan and Guizhou were regarded as genuine places. Since modern times, its quality has been summarized as the best with thick roots, firm texture and black-brown surface, the harvesting and processing methods recorded in the past dynasties are mainly sun drying after harvest in the second, eighth and ninth months of the lunar calendar, and most of them are harvested in autumn and winter in modern times. In ancient times, there were many processing methods of CR, mainly in processing with rice swill, while in modern times, stir-frying with wine was the main processing method. The nature, taste, meridian tropism, functions and indications of CR are basically consistent from ancient to modern times, the taboos for taking are to avoid iron, cow's milk, and beef. Although there are some differences in the understanding of the toxicity of CR in the past dynasties, most of the materia medica are clear that it has a certain toxicity. Based on the research conclusion, it is suggested that the rhizome of C. orchioides of Lycoris family should be used as its source in the famous classical formulas, and the corresponding processing method should be selected according to the processing requirements in the formulas, while the raw products is recommended to be selected as medicine if the processing requirement is not specified.
