OBJECTIVE To establish a Chinese drug-related problem (DRP) classification system applicable to pharmacist-led pharmaceutical care in China, providing pharmacists with an effective and practical tool for pharmaceutical care. METHODS A multi-stage process was employed to construct the DRP classification system, including literature review and analysis, comparison of existing classification systems, refinement of classification items and framework development, two rounds of standard case validation, expert discussion, and system revision. The Fleiss′ kappa test was used to calculate the consistency coefficient κ, assessing the reliability of pharmacists participating in evaluating the classification system. An electronic questionnaire comprising six items was employed to evaluate the system’s applicability. RESULTS The constructed Chinese DRP classification system comprised six sections [problem(including potential problems), DRP evaluation, cause (including possible causes of potential problems), intervention, acceptance of intervention and DRP status], with 24 primary codes and 96 secondary codes. In the first round of case validation, κ values exceeded 0.4 for all sections except “intervention” and “DRP status”. In the second round, κ values exceeded 0.4 for all sections. In the applicability evaluation of the classification system, positive ratings (“strongly agree” or “agree”) exceeded 85% for all items. Specifically, positive ratings for“the classification system can provide appropriate category selection”,“ the classification system is comprehensive”,“ the classification system is convenient to use” and “the classification system is highly satisfactory” exceeded 92%. CONCLUSIONS The Chinese DRP classification system developed demonstrates both high reliability and applicability, providing an effective and practical classification tool for pharmacists in China to conduct pharmaceutical care.

Objective: To characterize perioperative dynamic changes in immune-cell phenotypes and inflammatory cytokines in patients undergoing CPB (cardiopulmonary bypass) cardiac surgery, and to explore their associations with postoperative outcomes. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 120 adult patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery under CPB at West China Hospital from May 2022 to March 2023 were enrolled. Perioperative immune-cell phenotypes and concentrations of 40 inflammation-related cytokines were measured. The primary outcomes were the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score at 24 h after surgery and ΔSOFA (the peak SOFA score within 48 h after surgery minus the preoperative SOFA score). Secondary outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), acute kidney injury (AKI), respiratory failure, severe liver injury, and infection. Results: The mean age of enrolled patients was 57±10 years. Of these, 52% (62/120) were male and 90% (108/120) underwent valve surgery. During the rewarming to the end of CPB, neutrophil counts rapidly increased (7.39×10
/L vs preoperative 3.07×10
/L, P<0.001), with significant upregulation of CD11b (7.30×10
/L vs preoperative 3.05×10
/L, P<0.001) and CD54 (7.15×10
/L vs preoperative 2.99×10
/L, P<0.001). Lymphocyte counts increased at the end of CPB (1.75×10
/L vs preoperative 1.12×10
/L, P<0.001) but decreased significantly at 24 h after surgery (0.59×10
/L vs preoperative 1.12×10
/L, P<0.001). Plasma analysis showed that multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines increased during CPB and remained elevated up to 24 h after surgery; five chemokines and the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 peaked at the end of CPB. The SOFA score increased from 1 (1, 2) preoperatively to 7 (5, 10) at 24 h after surgery, with a ΔSOFA of 6 (4, 8). Within 30 days after surgery, 48 patients (40.0%) developed AKI, 17 (14.2%) developed infection, 4 (3.3%) developed severe liver injury, 3 (2.5%) developed respiratory failure, and 3 (2.5%) experienced MACE. During the 2-year follow-up, 8 patients (6.7%) experienced MACE and 5 (4.2%) died. Conclusion: Multi-organ dysfunction is common after cardiac surgery under CPB (median ΔSOFA, 6), accompanied by perioperative activation of multiple immune-cell subsets and upregulation of pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory, and chemotactic mediators. This study provides data-driven evidence and research clues for further investigation of the associations between CPB-related immune perturbations and postoperative organ dysfunction and clinical outcomes.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(4):517-521
Objective:
To understand the current status and associated factors of sleep problems among preschool children in Hainan Province, so as to provide scientific evidence for improving sleep health in this population.
Methods:
From January 2021 to June 2022, a total of 4 105 preschool children aged 3-6 years from 62 kindergartens in Hainan Province were selected using stratified cluster random sampling method. Demographic information and lifestyle habits were collected through the Hainan Province Child Growth and Development Survey Questionnaire. The Children s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was employed to assess sleep status. Unconditional binary Logistic regression model was applied to investigate the associated factors of sleep problems among preschool children.
Results:
The overall CSHQ score for children was 58.03±18.84, with 80.95% of preschool children exhibiting sleep related issues. The top three most prevalent sleep problem domains were bedtime resistance (72.42%), sleep anxiety ( 54.88 %), and parasomnias (38.86%). Logistic regression analysis revealed that higher family annual income ( OR=0.60, 95%CI = 0.45-0.79), higher maternal education level ( OR=0.53, 95%CI =0.32-0.89), regular or daily vitamin D supplementation ( OR=0.77, 95%CI =0.60-0.99), and fully self initiated eating behavior ( OR=0.71, 95%CI =0.59-0.85) were negatively related with children s sleep problems; in addition, screen exposure ( OR=1.27, 95%CI =1.06-1.51) and picky eating ( OR= 1.47 , 95%CI =1.21-1.78) were positively related to children s sleep problems (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
The high detection rate of sleep problems among preschool children in Hainan Province is multifactorially associated with family environment, dietary habits, and lifestyle behaviors.

This study explores the diagnosis and treatment of needle knife therapy for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) at middle and advanced stage based on the theory of meridian tendons, from a holistic perspective and syndrome differentiation. The treatment strategy includes "harmonizing yin and yang" to address root causes and "tendons-based release" to harmonize qi and blood, with the "tendons nodule points" as the core acupoint selection criterion. Based on this approach, the study systematically elaborates on two needle knife methods for AS: "governor vessel bone-piercing technique" and "below-the-umbilicus release technique", covering indications, acupoint location, and procedures. Clinical case examples are provided to enrich needle knife therapy guided by the theory of meridian tendons, offering insights for clinical and research work on AS.

Aim To investigate the protective role and mechanism of ginsenoside Rg1 in myocardial inflamma-tion injury and fibrosis induced by chronic lipopolysac-charide(LPS)exposure in mice.Methods A chro-nic LPS-induced mouse model was established and ran-domly assigned to six groups:control,LPS(200 μg·kg-1),Rg1(5,10,20 mg·kg-1)and Tempol(50 mg·kg-1)groups.Cardiac function was evaluated by using echocardiography,and histopathological changes in myocardial tissue were assessed via hematoxylin-eo-sin(HE)staining,Masson's trichrome staining,and periodic acid-Schiff(PAS)staining.The expression levels of TRPC6,AIM2,NLRP3,cleaved caspase-1,IL-1β,and IL-6 were detected by Western blotting.Results Compared with the control group,the cardiac function of LPS group significantly decreased,the de-gree of myocardial injury and fibrosis was aggravated,and the expressions of TRPC6,AIM2,NLRP3,IL-1 βand IL-6 significantly increased.Compared with the LPS model group,Rg1 treatment significantly improved the cardiac function,alleviated myocardial injury and fibrosis,and inhibited the expression of TRPC6,the activation of AIM2/NLRP3 inflammasomes and the ex-pression of inflammatory factors.Conclusions Gin-senoside Rg1 can inhibit the activation of AIM2/NL-RP3 inflammasomes by down-regulating TRPC6 signa-ling,thereby reducing the chronic myocardial inflam-matory injury and fibrosis caused by chronic LPS expo-sure.

BACKGROUND:Exercise interventions,recognized for their economic and non-pharmaceutical efficacy,have demonstrated the potential to upregulate brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels,thereby offering a therapeutic approach to the prevention and management of Parkinson's disease.However,the specific mechanisms by which exercise targeting brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression to delay Parkinson's disease onset and progression are not clear.OBJECTIVE:To explore the interplay between brain-derived neurotrophic factor and Parkinson's disease,to analyze the specific regulatory effect and mechanism of exercise on the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the pathological state of Parkinson's disease,to review the improvement effect of different exercise methods mediated by brain-derived neurotrophic factor on Parkinson's disease,to clarify the potential mechanism of exercise therapy targeting brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease,in order to provide a new theoretical basis for exercise prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease.METHODS:A systematic literature review was conducted using"Parkinson's disease,brain-derived neurotrophic factor,neuroprotection,dopamine,neuronal apoptosis,neuroinflammation,and synaptic plasticity"as Chinese keywords,and"Parkinson's disease,BDNF,neuroprotection,neuroinflammation,and synaptic plasticity"as English keywords.Databases including CNKI,WanFang Data,PubMed,and Web of Science were searched for relevant articles published up to February 2024.Totally 98 core articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Within the pathophysiological framework of Parkinson's disease,exercise has been shown to stimulate the release of the myokine Irisin and to specifically enhance brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression,counteracting kynurenine pathway metabolic dysregulation.(2)Aerobic activities,notably specialized forms such as Running on a Wheel with Electrical Stimulation(rotarod walking exercise)in animals and Nordic Walking in humans,along with multimodal exercise regimens,have been demonstrated to significantly enhance brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression.This upregulation is instrumental in ameliorating the motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease.Furthermore,brain-derived neurotrophic factor is implicated in the beneficial modulation of non-motor symptoms,including cognitive and sleep disturbances,through the practice of mind-body interventions like Tai Chi.(3)Exercise-induced high expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor exerts a neuroprotective effect through several mechanisms:By upregulating the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-10,nerve growth factor-beta,and transforming growth factor-beta,and concurrently downregulating the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1 beta,thereby suppressing the activation of microglia via the inhibition of the nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway,leading to a reduction in neuroinflammatory responses;by augmenting the activity of tyrosine hydroxylase,which facilitates the synthesis and release of dopamine.This is complemented by the inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase-3 and glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta,preventing the hyperphosphorylation of alpha-synuclein at serine 129,thus counteracting abnormal neuronal apoptosis.By inducing long-term potentiation and promoting the robust expression of post-synaptic density protein 95 and synaptophysin,thereby enhancing synaptic plasticity and exerting a neuroprotective influence that may delay the onset and progression of Parkinson's disease.(4)Considering the pivotal role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in Parkinson's disease progression and treatment,targeted exercise therapies could advance"Exercise+Medicine"precision medicine for Parkinson's disease.However,current research is limited by a narrow focus on motor symptoms and a lack of diverse exercise protocols.There is a need for more comprehensive,longitudinal studies using varied exercise modalities to better understand and address non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients to improve the lack of research in the field of Parkinson's disease exercise prevention and treatment.
