OBJECTIVE To investigate the establishment and promotion of a new standardized management model for anti-osteoporosis medication after fragility fracture surgery by resident clinical pharmacists,and provide references for resident pharmacists to carry out clinical pharmaceutical services.METHODS From July 2023 to March 2024,595 post-brittle fracture surgery patients were enrolled.Using the PDCA(plan-do-check-act)cycle,resident clinical pharmacists identified issues and conducted investigations in clinical practice.Through integrating clinical pharmacist intervention services before,during and after treatment,a medication treatment pathway was developed,thereby establishing a standardized management model for anti-osteoporosis treatment following fragility fracture surgery.Leveraging the National Brittle Fracture Big Data Platform(under the National Clinical Research Center for Orthopedics and Sports Rehabilitation),a dedicated data module was constructed,providing big data support to evaluate the efficacy of this pharmaceutical care model.RESULTS Continuous PDCA cycle driven improvements significantly increased the proportion of osteoporosis diagnosis(from 9%before intervention to 81%)and proportion of drug treatment(from 4%to 75%).The proportions of bone density and bone metabolism testing also rose markedly,positively impacting long-term patient outcomes.CONCLUSIONS The establishment of a standardized management model for anti-osteoporosis treatment following fragility fracture surgery by resident clinical pharmacists has enhanced clinicians'diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities for osteoporosis,ensures rational medication use in osteoporosis patients,and demonstrates significant potential for widespread adoption and application.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of grade 3-4 multiple myeloma bone disease(MBD)in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma(NDMM)patients,and establish a risk prediction model based on a nomogram.Methods A total of 261 patients with NDMM who were treated in Ningbo Medical Center Lihuili Hospital from January 2015 to December 2021 were retrospectively selected.The patients were divided into group A(MBD grade 0-2,110 cases)and group B(MBD grade 3-4,151 cases)according to MBD grade at the time of initial diagnosis.Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors for grade 3-4 MBD in NDMM patients,and the risk prediction model was constructed.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used for comprehensive evaluation.Results Multivariate regression analysis showed that age,serum phosphorus,C-reactive protein(CRP),globulin(GLB)and bone marrow plasma cell percentage(BMPCp)were independent risk factors for grade 3-4 MBD in NDMM patients(P<0.05).Based on this,risk prediction model was constructed as follows:logit(P)=-15.092+0.107(age)+1.150(serum phosphorus)+0.057(CRP)+0.040(GLB)+0.212(BMPCp).There was no significant difference between the predicted probability and the actual incidence by the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test(P=0.770).The accuracy of the model in predicting grade 3-4 MBD in NDMM patients was 90.40%,and the area under the curve was 0.957(95%CI:0.932-0.981),indicating a reliable prediction ability.Conclusion Age,serum phosphorus,CRP,GLB and BMPCp were all independent risk factors for grade 3-4 MBD in NDMM patients,and the constructed risk prediction model has a relatively good predictive effect on the occurrence of grade 3-4 MBD in NDMM patients.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of the "Three-Step Nine-Method Lumbar Correction" combined with physical therapy in the treatment of patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis(DLS). METHODS: From January 2021 to December 2021, 72 patients diagnosed with DLS were enrolled and divided into the Three-Step Nine-Method Lumbar Correction group and the pelvic traction group, with 36 cases in each group. In the Three-Step Nine-Method Lumbar Correction group, there were 15 males and 21 females;aged 54 to 66 years old, with an average of (59.07±5.69) years old;the course of disease was 14 to 26 years old, with an average of (20.35±5.66) years old. They were treated with the Three-Step Nine-Method Lumbar Correction combined with low-frequency physical therapy, 3 times a week, for a 4-week course. In the pelvic traction group, there were 12 males and 24 females;aged 54 to 66 years old, with an average of (59.69±5.59) years old;the course of disease was 13 to 26 years old, with an average of (19.74±5.80) years old. They were treated with pelvic traction combined with low-frequency physical therapy. Efficacy evaluation was conducted using the visual analogue scale(VAS), Oswestry disability index(ODI), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, and Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) before treatment, after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, and at the 8-week follow-up after the end of treatment. In addition, imaging parameters of paravertebral muscles were evaluated before treatment and at the completion of treatment. RESULTS: All 72 patients completed the follow-up for 8 weeks. At the 8-week follow-up after the end of treatment, in the Three-Step Nine-Method Lumbar Correction group, the VAS score for low back pain decreased from (6.25±1.23) points before treatment to (1.25±0.65) points, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05);the ODI decreased from (57.17±7.13)% before treatment to (19.89±5.66)%, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05);the JOA score and SF-36 score increased from (15.46±3.20) points and (35.25±9.28) points before treatment to (23.75±2.10) points and (62.31±13.03) points, respectively, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The improvement of each index in the Three-Step Nine-Method Lumbar Correction group was better than that in the pelvic traction group (P<0.05), but the change in imaging parameters was not significant (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05), and no serious adverse events occurred. CONCLUSION The Three-Step Nine-Method Lumbar Correction combined with physical therapy has a definite efficacy in the treatment of DLS. It can significantly relieve pain symptoms, improve physical function and patients' quality of life. Its effect is better than that of pelvic traction combined with physical therapy, and it has high safety. However, its improvement on paravertebral muscles is not obvious.

Parkinson's disease(PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the accumulation of Lewy bodies. While conventional drugs like levodopa can improve early symptoms, their efficacy diminishes over time, and they may cause severe side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), with its multi-target therapeutic approach, has shown unique advantages in PD treatment, particularly in slowing disease progression and improving clinical symptoms. The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) signaling pathway plays a critical role in cellular antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and cellular repair mechanisms, which are crucial for neuroprotection against PD. Studies indicate that TCM regulates the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway to enhance neuronal antioxidative capacity, inhibit neuroinflammation, promote dopaminergic neuron repair and survival, and slow pathological progression. This review explores the neuroprotective role of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in PD patients, including alleviating oxidative stress, suppressing neuroinflammation, promoting neuronal repair, and regulating iron metabolism and autophagy. It also discusses the mechanisms by which TCM active ingredients(flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenes, saponins, polyphenols, etc.), single herbs(Cistanche deserticola, Uraria crinite, and Melissa officinalis, etc.), and formulas(Bushen Jianpi Decoction, Didang Decoction, and Gancao Yangyin Decoction, etc.) modulate the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in PD treatment, providing a theoretical basis for the clinical application and new drug development of TCM in PD prevention and treatment.

Objective To explore the efficacy of early hyperbaric oxygen therapy(HBOT)combined with median nerve electrical stimulation(MNES)in the treatment of severe traumatic brain injury(sTBI)and its impact on hemodynamics,coma degree,and neurological function of patients.Methods A total of 78 patients with sTBI admitted to the General Hospital of Western Theater Command from March 2020 to October 2021 were selected as the research subjects.The patients were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group,with 39 patients in each group.The patients in both groups underwent basic treatments such as water,electrolyte and acid-base balance,nutritional support,anti-infection,and decompressive craniectomy.On this basis,patients in the control group received early HBOT,while patients in the observation group received both HBOT and MNES.Their clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups.Before and after treatment,dual-channel transcranial Doppler ultrasound was performed to detect hemodynamic indicators such as peak systolic blood flow velocity(Vs),mean blood flow velocity(Vm),and pulsatility index(PI)in the middle cerebral artery of patients in the two groups.The Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)score was used to evaluate the degree of coma of patients in the two groups,the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score was used to assess the neurological deficits of patients in the two groups,and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the levels of central nervous system specific protein(S100-β),glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP),and myelin basic protein(MBP).Complications during treatment of patients in the two groups were recorded,and their incidence was compared.Results The total effective rate of patients in the control and observation groups was 79.49％(31/39)and 92.31％(36/39),respectively.The total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(x2=8.971,P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in Vm,Vs,and PI between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).After treatment,the Vm and Vs in both groups were significantly higher than those before treatment,while the PI was significantly lower than that before treatment(P＜0.05);and the Vm and Vs in the observation group were signifi-cantly higher than that those in the control group,while the PI was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in GCS and NIHSS scores between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).After treatment,the GCS score in both groups was significantly higher than that before treatment,while the NIHSS score was significantly lower than that before treatment(P＜0.05);and the GCS score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group,while the NIHSS score was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in S100-β,GFAP,and MBP levels between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).After treatment,the S100-β,GFAP,and MBP levels in both groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the S100-β,GFAP,and MBP levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).During treatment,the incidence of complications in the control and observation groups was 23.08％(9/39)and 20.51％(8/39),respectively,showing no significant difference(x2=2.328,P＞0.05).Conclusion Early HBOT combined with MNES shows good efficacy in treating sTBI,which can effectively improve the patients'hemodynamic level,alleviate the severity of coma,enhance neurological function,and promote early recovery of consciousness,without increased risk of complications.

Berberine (BBR) is the main pharmacological active ingredient of Coptidis, which has hypoglycemic effect, but its clinical application is limited due to its poor oral bioavailability. Polyphenols, derived from cinnamon, are beneficial for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The combination of both may have an additive effect. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypoglycemic effect and mechanism of combined medication in diabetic rats. The modeling rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (berberine group, cinnamon group, combined group, metformin group, diabetic control group) and normal control group. The animal experiments were approved by the Animal Ethics Committee (approval number: HMUIRB2022003). The subjects were given orally, and the control group was given equal volume solvent and body weight was measured weekly. Thirty days after administration, oral glucose tolerance test and insulin sensitivity test were performed, and fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated serum protein (GSP), and serum insulin (INS) levels were detected; high-throughput sequencing technology was used to detect intestinal microbiota structure; real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot were used to detect G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) expression levels. The results showed that, compared with the diabetic control group, the levels of FBG (P < 0.01) and GSP (P < 0.01) in the combined group were lower, and the insulin resistance was improved, which was better than that in the berberine group. Combined treatment increased the relative abundance of Bacteroides, Prevotella and Lactobacillus, reversed the decrease in Lactobacillus in the berberine alone induction group, and the combination of the two could promote the expression of TGR5 and GLP-1. In summary, the combined application of cinnamon and berberine can regulate glucose metabolism better than the application of berberine alone. Berberine combined with cinnamon can improve the function of pancreatic islet β cells in diabetes mellitus type 2 rats by changing the intestinal microbiota, increasing the expression of TGR5 and GLP-1 proteins, and thereby better regulating glucose metabolism.

In addition to providing energy for cells, mitochondria also participate in calcium homeostasis, cell information transfer, cell apoptosis, cell growth and differentiation. Therefore, maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis is very crucial for the body to carry out normal life activities. Ubiquitination, a post-translational modification of proteins, is involved in various physiological and pathological processes of cells by regulating mitochondrial homeostasis. However, the mechanism by which ubiquitination regulates mitochondrial homeostasis has not been summarized, especially the effect of Parkin protein on cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, the specific mechanism of mitochondrial homeostasis regulated by ubiquitination of Parkin protein is discussed, and the influence of mitochondrial homeostasis imbalance on cardiovascular diseases is reviewed, with a view to providing potential therapeutic strategies for the clinical treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

As polar cells, neurons are composed of a cell body, dendritic networks, and long, branched axons. To maintain normal physiological functions throughout the lifespan of vertebrates, differentiated neurons require substantial energy to sustain resting potential and synaptic transmission. Neurons predominantly rely on ATP generated through mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation for energy. They transport and accumulate healthy mitochondria to energy-demanding areas, such as the presynaptic terminals of axon branches, through long-distance transport and anchoring, while reversing the transport of aged or damaged mitochondria in the axon terminals back to the soma for degradation. This article, integrating authors’ research, discusses from a mechanical perspective how mitochondria overcome resistance to achieve long-distance transport along axons under the influence of driving forces. The review covers topics such as microtubule polarity, microtubule motor proteins, mitochondrial docking protein complexes, interactions between mitochondria and anchoring proteins, intracellular resistance, interactions between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum, and aspects of mitochondrial biogenesis, fission, fusion, division, and quality control. These novel perspectives will provide important insights for understanding neurological diseases caused by mitochondrial transport dysfunctions.

Objective To explore the effects of different concentrations of lidocaine infiltration and analgesia in pleural cavity after lung cancer surgery on rehabilitation of patients.Methods A total of 86 patients with lung cancer were selected and divided into the high concentration group(43 cases)and low concentration group(43 cases)by random number table method.Patients in the high concentration group received injection of 2.0%lidocaine hydrochloride in pleural cavity through the epidural catheter 1st day after surgery,and patients in the low concentration group received injection of 1.5%lidocaine hydrochloride in pleural cavity.In addition,patients in the two groups were treated with patient-controlled intravenous analgesia after surgery.The first time of getting out of bed,first time of exhaustion,first time of defecation and hospital stay after surgery of the two groups were compared.The visual analogue scale(VAS)scores 6 hours,12 hours,24 hours and 48 hours after surgery,the occurrence of agitation during the postoperative awakening period,and the number of analgesic pump compressions and the dosage of analgesic drugs within 24 hours after surgery were compared.The incidence of adverse drug reactions 24 hours after surgery were recorded and the quality of recovery of patients 24 hours after surgery was evaluated by 40-item quality of recovery score(QoR-40).Results The first time of getting out of bed,first time of exhaustion,first time of defecation and hospital stay after operation of patients in the high concentration group were shorter than those in the low concentration group(P<0.05).The VAS scores of the two groups 12 hours and 24 hours after surgery were higher than those 6 hours after surgery(P<0.05),the VAS scores 24 hours and 48 hours after surgery were lower than those 12 hours after surgery(P<0.05),and the VAS scores 48 hours after surgery were lower than those 24 hours after surgery(P<0.05).The VAS scores 6 hours,12 hours,24 hours,and 48 hours after surgery of patients in the high concentration group were lower than those in the low concentration group(P<0.05).The occurrence of agitation during the postoperative awakening period,and the number of analgesic pump compressions and the dosage of analgesic drugs within 24 hours after surgery for patients in the high concentration group were lower/less than those in the low concentration group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the total incidence of adverse drug reactions between the two groups(P>0.05).The total QoR-40 score of patients in the high concentration group were higher than those in the low concentration group(P<0.05).Conclusion The use of 2.0%lidocaine infiltration and analgesia in pleural cavity for patients after lung cancer surgery can reduce the agitation during the awakening period,alleviate the postoperative pain,improve the quality of postoperative recovery,and promote the postoperative recovery of the patients,with certain safety.
