OBJECTIVE To systematically investigate the current status and effectiveness of the standardized on-the-job training program for community clinical pharmacists in Shanghai， and to provide a scientific basis for optimizing the training scheme. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect the data from trainees and mentor pharmacists who participated in the program between 2016 and 2024. The survey examined their basic information， evaluations of the training scheme， satisfaction with training outcomes， and suggestions for improvement. Statistical analyses were also conducted. RESULTS A total of 420 valid responses were collected， including 340 from trainees and 80 from mentor pharmacists. Before training， only 30.29% of trainees were engaged in clinical pharmacy-related work， whereas this proportion increased to 73.24% after training. Most mentor pharmacists had extensive experience in clinical pharmacy （76.25% with ≥5 years of experience） and mentoring （78.75% with ≥3 teaching sessions）. Totally 65.59% of trainees and 55.00% of mentor pharmacists believed that blended training yielded the best learning outcomes. Over 80.00% of both trainees and mentor pharmacists considered the overall training duration， theoretical study time， and practical training time to be reasonable. More than 95.00% of trainees and mentor pharmacists agreed that the homework and assessment schemes were appropriate. Trainees rated the relevance of training content to their actual work highly （with an average relevance score ＞4.5）， though they perceived the chronic disease medication therapy management module as significantly more challenging than the prescription review and evaluation module and the home-based pharmaceutical care module. The average satisfaction score of trainees and mentor pharmacists with the training effectiveness of each project was above 4 points， indicating a high overall satisfaction. Inadequate provision of teaching resources was unanimously recognized by trainees and mentor pharmacists as the key area requiring improvement. CONCLUSIONS The standardized on-the-job training program for community clinical pharmacists in Shanghai has contributed to improving pharmaceutical services in community healthcare settings. However， ongoing improvements must concentrate on content design， resource development， and faculty cultivation.

Purpose To explore the differences of the accuracy of detection and recognition of thyroid nodules and the diagnostic efficacy of benign and malignant thyroid nodules via artificial intelligence(AI)ultrasound assisted systems based on different ultrasound parameters.Materials and Methods A total of 147 patients with 289 nodules who underwent thyroid surgery in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from March 30,2023 to May 1,2023 were prospectively selected.Different ultrasound parameters were adjusted and the AI system was used to detect and diagnose benign and malignant thyroid nodules via each parameter.Taken pathological results as the gold standard,the accuracy of thyroid nodule detection and the accuracy of benign and malignant diagnosis under different ultrasound parameters were compared,respectively.Results Under the standard ultrasound parameters,the accuracy of AI system in detecting thyroid nodules was 94.1%,the sensitivity for benign and malignant diagnosis was 90.9%,the specificity was 79.6%,and the accuracy was 86.6%,respectively.In terms of detection accuracy,accuracy under low gain(χ2=4.453,P=0.035)and high gain(χ2=6.215,P=0.013)parameters of AI system were significantly lower than those of standard ultrasound parameters.In terms of diagnostic efficacy,specificity(χ2=4.620,P=0.032),accuracy(χ2=7.521,P=0.006),area under the curve(Z=3.102,P=0.001),high gain sensitivity(χ2=6.170,P=0.013),accuracy(χ2=4.127,P=0.042),area under the curve(Z=2.152,P=0.031)and high depth accuracy(χ2=5.011,P=0.025),area under the curve(Z=2.420,P=0.015)of low gain were all significantly reduced compared to standard ultrasound parameters,with statistical differences.Conclusion When using the AI system to assist in the examination of thyroid nodules,attention should be paid to the adjustment of ultrasound instrument parameters.Improper parameter adjustment may reduce the AI system's ability to detect thyroid nodules and the accuracy of benign and malignant diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE To observe the efficacy and safety of hydromorphone in patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.METHODS A total of 90 patients who received uvulopalatopharyngoplasty in Central Theater General Hospital from January 2022 to June 2023 were selected and divided into three groups(n=30 in each group)by using random number table method.Control group was given sufentanil 2.0 μg/kg,group A was given hydromorphone 0.20 mg/kg and group B was given hydromorphone 0.30 mg/kg.The analgesic parameters of three groups were background infusion rate of 1.2 ml/h,PCA amount of 2 ml,and lock-up time of 10 min.VAS score and Ramsay sedation score at 2 h,6 h,12 h,24 h and 48 h after surgery were recorded,as well as the number of compressions within 48 h after surgery,and the incidence of adverse reactions were analyzed.RESULTS There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss,operation time and intraoperative urine volume among the three groups(P>0.05).VAS score in group A and group B at 2 h(2.0±0.3,2.2±0.4),6 h(1.8±0.4,1.9±0.4),12 h(1.8±0.4,1.7±0.4),24 h(1.6±0.3,1.5±0.4)and 48 h(1.1±0.3,1.2±0.4)were significantly lower than those in control group(2.8±0.5,2.3±0.5,2.1±0.4,2.0±0.5,1.7±0.5)(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference between group A and group B(P>0.05).The Ramsay score of group A and group B at 2 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,and 48 h after operation was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in Ramsay score between group A and group B(P>0.05).The total number of compressions and effective number of compressions in group A and group B at 12 h,24 h and 48 h after surgery were lower than those in control group(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference between group A and group B(P>0.05).The incidence of total adverse reactions in group B was higher than that in group A and control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of total adverse reactions between group A and control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Hydromorphone can effectively be used for postoperative self-controlled analgesia in patients with uvulopalatopharyngoplasty,and the efficacy is better than sufentanil,but the dose of 0.20 mg/kg hydromorphone has better safety than that of 0.3 mg/kg hydromorphone.

AIM:To analyze the potential catego-ries and influencing factors of self concealment in breast cancer patients.METHODS:A total of 207 breast cancer patients from two hospitals in Anhui province were conveniently selected and investigat-ed with general information questionnaire,self con-cealment scale,perceived social support scale and chronic disease stigma scale.Potential profile analy-sis was used to explore the categories and charac-teristics of self concealment,and single factor anal-ysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of different categories.RE-SULTS:Self concealment of breast cancer patients was divided into two categories:low self conceal-ment group and high self concealment group.Logis-tic regression analysis showed that the main care-givers,comorbidities,perceived social support and sense of shame were the influencing factors of the potential profile of self concealment of breast can-cer patients(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:Breast cancer patients have obvious category characteristics.Medical staff should pay attention to the level of self concealment of breast cancer patients,and for-mulate precision strategies according to different categories of influencing factors.

Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a highly desmoplastic tumor with poor prognosis even after curative resection. We investigated the associations between the composition of the ICC stroma and immune cell infiltration and aimed to develop a stromal-immune signature to predict prognosis in surgically treated ICC. Patients and methods: We recruited 359 ICC patients and performed immunohistochemistry to detect α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), CD3, CD4, CD8, Foxp3, CD68, and CD66b. Aniline was used to stain collagen deposition. Survival analyses were performed to detect prognostic values of these markers. Recursive partitioning for a discrete-time survival tree was applied to define a stromal-immune signature with distinct prognostic value. We delineated an integrated stromal-immune signature based on immune cell subpopulations and stromal composition to distinguish subgroups with different recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) time. Results: We defined four major patterns of ICC stroma composition according to the distributions of α-SMA and collagen: dormant (α-SMAlow/collagenhigh), fibrogenic (α-SMAhigh/collagenhigh), inert (α-SMAlow/collagenlow), and fibrolytic (α-SMAhigh/collagenlow). The stroma types were characterized by distinct patterns of infiltration by immune cells. We divided patients into six classes. Class I, characterized by high CD8 expression and dormant stroma, displayed the longest RFS and OS, whereas Class VI, characterized by low CD8 expression and high CD66b expression, displayed the shortest RFS and OS. The integrated stromal-immune signature was consolidated in a validation cohort. Conclusion We developed and validated a stromal-immune signature to predict prognosis in surgically treated ICC. These findings provide new insights into the stromal-immune response to ICC.

Objective: To understand the changes in pain and its effects in patients with the diagnosis of herpes zoster. Methods: A total of 3 487 patients diagnosed with herpes zoster (HZ) for the first time at the outpatient department of Miyun District Hospital from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2019, were included in the study. The information of patients was registered and issued with a record card. Patients were required to record the time of pain and rash by themselves. Telephone follow-up was conducted at 21, 90, 180 and 365 days after the onset of rashes, including hospitalization, location of rash and pain, and the time of start and end. The impact of pain on life was evaluated by the Zoster Brief Pain Inventory (ZBPI). Results: The age of 2 999 HZ patients included in the analysis were (53±16) years old, including 1 377 (45.91%) males and 1 903 (63.45%) patients aged 50 years and older. After 21 days of rash, mild, moderate and severe pain accounted for 20.87% (626 cases), 37.98% (1 139 cases) and 33.81% (1 014 cases), respectively. Only 5.07% (152 cases) had no pain or discomfort, and 2.27% (68 cases) had no pain but discomfort. Most of the pain sites were consistent with the rash sites. The chest and back and waist and abdomen were the most common, accounting for 35.58% (1 067 cases) and 29.18% (875 cases), respectively, followed by the limbs and face and neck, accounting for 16.74% (502 cases) and 16.40% (492 cases), respectively. The M (Q₁, Q₃) of pain days in the HZ patients was 14 (8, 20) days, and the incidence of post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) was 6.63% (171/2 580) (excluding 419 patients who refused to visit or lost to visit on 90 days after the onset of rash). The pain score of HZ patients within 21 days after the rash was (5.19±2.73) points, and the pain score of PHN patients was (7.61±2.13) points, which was significantly higher than that of non-PHN patients [(5.04±2.69) points] (P<0.001). Daily activities, emotions, walking ability, work, social interaction, sleep and recreation were affected for 21 days after the rash in HZ patients, ranging from 60.79% to 83.83%, with sleep being the most affected (83.83%). The impact scores of pain and life dimensions in PHN patients ranged from 4.59 to 7.61 points on the ZBPI scale, which were higher than those in non-PHN patients (2.49-5.04) (t values ranged from 8.86 to 11.67, all P values <0.001). Conclusion: The proportion of pain in HZ patients after the diagnosis is high, and the pain is more obvious in patients with PHN and HZ patients aged 50 and older, which has a greater impact on their daily lives.

Objective: To investigate the clinical presentation and genetic characteristics of malignant infantile osteopetrosis. Methods: This was a retrospective case study. Thirty-seven children with malignant infantile osteopetrosis admitted into Beijing Children's Hospital from January 2013 to September 2022 were enrolled in this study. According to the gene mutations, the patients were divided into the CLCN7 group and the TCIRG1 group. Clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, and prognosis were compared between two groups. Wilcoxon test or Fisher exact test were used in inter-group comparison. The survival rate was estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method and the Log-Rank test was used to compare the difference in survival between groups. Results: Among the 37 cases, there were 22 males and 15 females. The age of diagnosis was 0.5 (0.2, 1.0) year. There were 13 patients (35%) and 24 patients (65%) with mutations in CLCN7 and TCIRGI gene respectively. Patients in the CLCN7 group had an older age of diagnosis than those in the TCIRGI group (1.2 (0.4, 3.6) vs. 0.4 (0.2, 0.6) years, Z=-2.60, P=0.008). The levels of serum phosphorus (1.7 (1.3, 1.8) vs. 1.1 (0.8, 1.6) mmol/L, Z=-2.59, P=0.010), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) (457 (143, 610) vs. 56 (37, 82) U/L, Z=-3.38, P=0.001) and the level of neutrophils (14.0 (9.9, 18.1) vs. 9.2 (6.7, 11.1) ×10⁹/L, Z=-2.07, P=0.039) at diagnosis were higher in the CLCN7 group than that in the TCIRG1 group. However, the level of D-dimer in the CLCN7 group was lower than that in the TCIRGI group (2.7 (1.0, 3.1) vs. 6.3 (2.5, 9.7) μg/L, Z=2.83, P=0.005). After hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, there was no significant difference in 5-year overall survival rate between the two groups (92.3%±7.4% vs. 83.3%±7.6%, χ²=0.56, P=0.456). Conclusions: TCIRGI gene mutations are more common in children with osteopetrosis. Children with TCIRGI gene mutations have younger age, lower levels of phosphorus, CK-MB, and neutrophils and higher level of D-dimer at the onset. After hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, patients with CLCN7 or TCIRGI gene mutations have similar prognosis.
