Objective To systematically analyze the clinical pharmaceutical rehabilitation model based on data mining,so as to explore its role in improving drug treatment efficacy,reducing drug side effects,and optimizing rehabilitation experience.Methods We retrieved published literatures related to clinical pharmaceutical rehabilitation from CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,and PubMed,with a search time from inception to June 30,2022.Results Totally 11 articles were enrolled in this study.A study involving 69 randomized controlled trials(RCTs)demonstrated that the involvement of pharmacists in medication reviews significantly improved the control of hypertension,type 2 diabetes,and high cholesterol.The odds ratio(OR)for improved control was 2.71(95%confidence interval[CI]:1.03-7.01)for hypertension,3.12(95%CI:1.12-5.84)for type 2 diabetes,and 1.90(95%CI:1.05-3.35)for high cholesterol.A study involving 6 RCTs and 2 573 patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD)showed that pharmacist-led blood pressure monitoring,lifestyle,and medication regimen assessments significantly improved blood pressure control in CKD patients,with an OR of 1.51(95%CI:1.13-2.03).A Meta-analysis,including 5 RCTs and 3 observational studies,explored the impact of medication education and behavioral interventions on the treatment outcomes of gout.The results revealed that patients receiving medication education and behavioral interventions had a significantly higher rate of uric acid control and a higher proportion of patient with uric acid less than 360 μmol/L.A Meta-analysis of 14 RCTs involving 4 509 patients showed that pharmacist interventions such as medication education and counseling significantly reduced the 30-day readmission rates for hypertension and diabetes patients,with a relative risk(RR)of 0.75(95%CI:0.53-0.96).Eighteen RCTs involving 7 244 patients investigated the impact of pharmacist-led discharge counseling on the readmission rate.The findings showed that discharge counseling significantly reduced readmission rate,with a RR of 0.864(95%CI:0.763-0.997,P=0.020).Eight studies assessed the impact of pharmacist services on readmission rate,and the result showed that patients receiving pharmacy-related services had significantly reduced readmission rates,with a 32%reduction in the risk of readmission(OR=0.74,95%CI:0.62-0.89).A Meta-analysis including 123 studies investigated the effect of pharmacist interventions in patient care on the readmission rate,and the result indicated that pharmacist interventions led to a decrease in readmission rates,with the maximum decrease of 44.5%.A Meta-analysis of 23 RCTs evaluated the impact of pharmacist interventions on medication-related adverse events in elderly residents of nursing homes.The study found that pharmacist-led medication reviews and education significantly reduced adverse events.Another Meta-analysis of 14 RCTs and intervention studies explored the effect of pharmacist involvement in multidisciplinary care on medication-related adverse events.The analysis showed that pharmacist participation in multidisciplinary care was significantly associated with a reduction in the incidence of adverse events(RR=0.47,95%CI:0.28-0.77,P<0.01).A Meta-analysis of 6 RCTs involving 29 291 pediatric inpatients revealed that pharmacist interventions effectively reduced the risk of medication errors in hospitalized children(OR=0.27,95%CI:0.15-0.49).A literature analysis on the effectiveness of clinical pharmaceutical services in patient drug treatment showed that introducing a clinical pharmaceutical service model can reduce the use of antibiotics,lower medical costs,and improve medication satisfaction among patients treated with antibiotics.Conclusion In-depth exploration of clinical pharmaceutical rehabilitation model plays an important role in clinical treatment,which can improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions.

As solid tumor therapy enters the immunological era, hepatocellular carcinoma immunotherapy starts in advanced second-line, from second-line to first-line, from single agent to combination, and from late stage to early stage. Radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation have become first-line therapies for local ablation of early hepatocellular carcinoma, and emerging ablation techniques are also being developed in clinical trials and/or cell/animal studies. In the exploration of treatment regimens of hepatocellular carcinoma, the limitation of single therapy has become increasingly obvious, and the exploration of combination therapy has begun. This article reviews the research progress of immunotherapy and ablation therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma, aiming to provide new directions and insights for clinical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis of a Chinese pedigree affected with Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome.
METHODS:
Whole exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were carried out to detect potential pathogenic variants associated with the syndrome. The function of candidate variant was verified by Western blotting.
RESULTS:
A novel homozygous variant, c.1222delG of the DYM gene was detected in the two affected siblings, for which both parents were heterozygous carriers. The variant has caused replacement of Asp by Met at amino acid 408 and generate a premature stop codon p.Asp408Metfs*10. Western blotting confirmed that the variant can result in degradation of the mutant DYM protein, suggesting that it is a loss of function variant.
CONCLUSION
The homozygous c.1222delG frameshift variant of the DYM probably underlay the Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome in the two affected siblings. Above findings has enabled clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling for the family.

INTRODUCTIONAlthough rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) constitutes nearly 4% of all children diagnosed with cancer in the ethnically diverse small island city of Singapore, it is unknown how children with RMS fare.
MATERIALS AND METHODSThis study investigated 50 children with RMS from April 1993 to December 2010 from KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH) and National University Hospital (NUH). They were treated either as per Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study Group (IRSG) or Société Internationale Pediatrique D'Oncologie (SIOP) regimens.
RESULTSMedian age of diagnosis was 5.1 years (range, 0.1 to 17.3 years) with a median follow-up of 3.3 years (range, 0.4 to 15.6 years). According to IRSG classifi cation, 18 (36%) were staged as low-risk (LR); 19 (38%) were intermediate-risk (IR), 12 (24%) were high-risk (HR) and it was unknown in 1 patient. Twenty-nine (58%) were of embryonal subtype, 17 (34%) were alveolar and subclassification was not available in 4. The primary sites of tumour were: head and neck region (n = 22); genitourinary (n = 19); extremity (n = 10); and abdomen/retroperitoneal (n = 5). At the time of analysis, 80% were alive with no evidence of disease, 9 were dead of disease, and 2 were alive with disease. By disease risk group, the 5-year event-free survival (EFS) for LR group disease was 81.3% (95% CI, 62.0 to 100.0), IR group was 61.4% (95% CI, 32.3 to 90.4) and HR group was 25.0% (95% CI, 0.0 to 49.5) respectively (P <0.001). The 5-year EFS for risk by chemotherapy received as per SIOP vs per IRSG revealed: LR 83.3% vs 75.0% (P = 0.787); IR 83.3% vs 43.8% (P = 0.351); HR 0.0% vs 42.9% (P = 0.336) respectively. Of 15 relapses (HR, n = 7), at median of 2 years, 4 of 6 patients treated as per SIOP regimen were dead of disease and 3 of 8 treated as per IRSG were alive.
CONCLUSIONRadiation therapy (RT) can be avoided in LR classification although those in higher risk classification need RT to local and distant metastatic disease. The outcome of children with RMS in Singapore can be further improved by coming together as a cooperative group to provide the best total care. Improved communication, multidisciplinary team collaboration, standardisation of protocols and rigorous data collection are keys.
