Prescription evaluation is an important innovative medication supervision mode in China,which is an impor-tant means to ensure rational drug use.The Pharmaceutical Specialized Committee of the Chinese Hospital Association had led the formulation of the Pharmacy Administration and Pharmacy Practice in Healthcare Institutions—Part 4-9:Pharmacy Administra-tion—Prescription Evaluation.The standard regulated 11 key elements in the three aspects of basic requirements,evaluation re-quirements,and quality management and evaluation improvement,which can be used as the basis for guiding medical institutions to standardize prescription evaluation work.This paper introduced the formulation process of the prescription evaluation standard and interpreted the key contents of the standard,which was helpful for peers to deeply understand the standard,promote the imple-mentation of the standard,and further improve the quality of prescription evaluation work.

BACKGROUND:Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in preventing and treating spleen-deficiency and hyperlipidemia.In basic studies,models of spleen-deficiency and hyperlipidemia are commonly found in rats,pigs,and other animals.This has limitations for medical research that can only use mouse models.It is urgent to establish and evaluate mouse models of spleen-deficiency and hyperlipidemia to support basic research on traditional Chinese medicine in preventing and treating spleen-deficiency and hyperlipidemia.OBJECTIVE:To establish a mouse model of spleen-deficiency hyperlipidemia.METHODS:Totally 24 C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal group(n=12)and spleen-deficiency hyperlipemia group(n=12).Mice in normal group were fed basic diet.Mice in the spleen-deficiency hyperlipemia group were prepared with a diet disorder+fatigue internal injury+high-fat feeding method to establish a spleen-deficiency high-fat model.In the first 2 weeks,the mice were forced to swim to their endurance limit on a single day and were only fed cabbage,with free access to water.They were also gavaged with refined lard+high-fat feed on two-day intervals.After 2 weeks,the mice were fed a high-fat diet every day and the diet continued until 12 weeks.The mice were fed with a high-fat diet for 4 and 12 weeks,and their body weight,food intake,gripping strength,fecal water content,small intestinal charcoal propulsion rate,serum D-xylose and gastrin levels,spleen index and thymus index,blood lipid level,total body fat mass,body fat percentage,and liver lipid deposition were tested.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the normal group,the body weight,fecal water content,total body fat mass,body fat percentage,triglyceride and total cholesterol levels of the mice in the spleen-deficiency hyperlipemia group fed with high-fat diet for 4 and 12 weeks were increased(P＜0.05);the daily food intake,gripping force,and D-xylose level of the mice fed with high-fat diet for 4 and 12 weeks were decreased(P＜0.05);the spleen index of the mice fed with high-fat diet for 4 weeks was increased(P＜0.05);the small intestinal carbon propulsion rate,gastrin level,spleen index,and thymus index of the mice fed with high-fat diet for 12 weeks were decreased(P＜0.05);the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level of the mice fed with high-fat diet for 12 weeks was increased(P＜0.05).(2)The results of liver oil red O staining showed that the lipid deposition in the spleen-deficiency hyperlipemia group after 4 weeks of high-fat diet feeding was slightly more than that in the normal group,and the lipid deposition in the high-fat diet feeding for 12 weeks was significantly more than that in the normal group.(3)The results show that a stable spleen deficiency and hyperlipidemia mouse model can be prepared by the compound method of eating disorders,exhaustion,and high-fat feeding.

Objective:To analyze the disease burden of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)- associated lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in Chinese children under one year of age from 1990 to 2021.Methods:Using the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database ( https://vizhub.healthdata.org/gbd-results/), we calculated deaths, mortality, age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR), disability- adjusted life years (DALYs), DALY rates, and age-standardized DALY rates (ASDR) to assess the disease burden of RSV-associated LRTI in Chinese children under one year of age. Joinpoint regression modeling was employed to analyze temporal trends in disease burden in China from 1990 to 2021, with stratification by time, age, and sex. Comparisons were made with global and high socio-demographic index (SDI) regions. Results:In 2021, there were 324 deaths (95% UI: 179-539) from RSV-LRTI in Chinese infants under one year of age, with a mortality rate of 2.82 per 100 000 (95% UI: 1.55-4.69), ASMR of 0.10 per 100 000 (95% UI: 0.06-0.16), DALYs of 29 131.28 years (95% UI: 16 050.27-48 398.30), DALY rate of 253.56 per 100 000 (95% UI: 139.70-421.26), and ASDR of 6.70 per 100 000 (95% UI: 3.72-11.12). All metrics were lower than global levels but significantly higher than high-SDI regions. From 1990 to 2021, substantial reductions were observed in deaths, mortality rates, DALYs, and DALY rates of RSV-LRTI among children under one year of age in China, globally, and in high-SDI regions. China achieved ASMR and ASDR reductions of－95.91% (95% CI:－97.75% to－92.96%) and－96.70% (95% CI:－98.19% to－94.33%), comparable to high-SDI regions but exceeding global averages. Joinpoint analysis showed average annual percentage changes (AAPC) in ASMR of－9.80% (95% CI:－10.45% to－9.14%) for China,－5.38% (95% CI:－5.83% to－4.91%) globally, and－7.13% (95% CI:－9.07% to－5.14%) for high-SDI regions (all P<0.001). The AAPC for ASDR were－10.41% (95% CI:－11.01% to－9.79%),－5.40% (95% CI:－5.82% to－4.97%), and－7.09% (95% CI:－9.70% to－4.41%) for China, the global average, and high-SDI regions, respectively, with the most pronounced decline occurring between 2019 and 2021 (ASMR decreased by 53.33%, 45.81%, and 61.31%, while ASDR declined by 52.50%, 44.54%, and 58.88% in China, globally, and in high-SDI regions, respectively). In 2021, both China and high-SDI regions exhibited declining mortality and DALY rates for RSV-LRTI with increasing age among children under one year, while neonates younger than 28 days consistently demonstrated the highest burden metrics. The rate of decline was comparable between China and high-SDI regions, with both exceeding the global average. Furthermore, from 1990 to 2021, male infants under one year of age in China, globally, and in high-SDI regions consistently showed higher overall trends in deaths, mortality rates, DALY, and DALY rates for RSV-LRTI compared to female infants. Conclusions:Although China's RSV-LRTI disease burden in infants under one year remains lower than global levels but higher than high-SDI regions, the country achieved reduction rates comparable to high-SDI regions, exceeding global averages. RSV-LRTI continue to pose significant health threats to neonates and male infants, necessitating age-specific and sex-specific prevention strategies.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of buccal acupuncture in the treatment of refractory tinnitus in the elderly.Methods In this study,50 elderly patients with refractory tinnitus were randomly divided into two groups:the experimental group(n=26)received buccal acupuncture therapy on the neck,upper neck,scapula zone,shoulder,back,mastoid process,thoracic plexus,abdominal plexus and pelvic plexus on the affected side,and the control group(n=24)received sound therapy.After 8 weeks of treatment intervention,the two groups were comprehensively evaluated for the changes in the tinnitus evaluation scale(TEQ),self-rating depression scale(SDS),and blood rheological indexes,including whole blood high-cut viscosity(HSV),plasma viscosity(PSV)and fibrinogen in blood(FIB)clotting.Results After treatment,the total effective rate of the experimental group was 84.6％(22/26),higher than 54.2％(13/24)in the con-trol group.The difference in total effective rate and efficacy level between the two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).TEQ and SDS were significantly lower in the two groups compared to pre-treatment(P＜0.05),and HSV,PSV and FIB in the experimental group were significantly lower compared to pre-treatment(P＜0.05).The experimental group demonstrated better post-treatment outcomes in TEQ,SDS,HSV,and FIB compared to the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Buccal acupuncture treatment is effective in improving the symptoms of refractory tinnitus in the elderly,relie-ving the depression complicated by tinnitus,and is helpful in changing blood flow resistance and reducing blood coagulation probably.

Alzheimer's disease(AD)is an age-related neurodegenerative disease with an increasing incidence worldwide.A large number of studies have shown that the incidence rates of hearing loss is high in patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease,and may be a risk factor for the occurrence and development of cognitive impairment.There is an interaction between the two,but the causal mechanism is still unclear.Early screening and management of hearing impairment may play an important role in the early diagnosis,symptom im-provement and disease progression of Alzheimer's disease.This paper reviews relevant clinical and basic research to discuss the correlation between hearing loss and Alzheimer's disease,and the possible causal mechanism between them.

ObjectiveTo investigate the chemical constituents of Chuanxiong Rhizoma-Paeoniae Radix Rubra（CRPRR） that cross the blood-brain barrier in rats with ischemic stroke， their brain-protective effects， and their impact on inflammatory factors including tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and interleukin-18 （IL-18） based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry （UPLC-Q-TOF-MS） and pharmacodynamic experiments. MethodsA focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model was established in rats via the middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion （MCAO/R） method using intraluminal suture. Neurological function was evaluated using behavioral scoring. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was employed to identify the chemical constituents of CRPRR that crossed the blood-brain barrier and entered the cerebrospinal fluid in MCAO/R model rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups： sham operation group， model group， low-， medium-， and high-dose CRPRR groups （1.35， 2.7， 5.4 g·kg^-1， respectively）， and an edaravone group （5 mg·kg^-1）， with 12 rats in each group. The sham and model groups received normal saline， while the treatment groups received the respective doses of CRPRR once daily by gavage for three consecutive weeks. The brain-protective effects of CRPRR were assessed using the Longa five-point scoring method， open field test， Morris water maze， 2，3，5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride （TTC） staining， hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining， and transmission electron microscopy. ResultsNine chemical constituents were identified in the cerebrospinal fluid containing CRPRR， namely paeoniflorin， senkyunolide F， senkyunolide G， paeonimetabolin Ⅰ， paeoniflorin derivative， senkyunolide H， benzoylpaeoniflorin， senkyunolide A， and ligustilide. Animal experiment results showed that compared with the sham operation group， the model group exhibited disordered neuronal arrangement， severe vacuolation， nuclear pyknosis， and evident mitochondrial swelling. Chromatin aggregation and peripheralization were also observed. Neurological scores and the number of crossings in the central region were significantly increased （P<0.01）， while platform crossings were significantly decreased （P<0.01）， and clear infarct areas were present （P<0.01）. Serum levels and protein expression of TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-18 were significantly elevated （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， all dose groups of CRPRR showed marked improvement in neuronal morphology which was close to the normal level， with mitochondrial swelling alleviated and chromatin distribution more uniform. The medium- and high-dose groups significantly reduced neurological scores （P<0.01）， while the low-， medium-， and high-dose groups significantly reduced the number of central crossings （P<0.01） and infarct volume （P<0.01）， and decreased TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-18 levels （P<0.05， P<0.01） compared with the model group. Furthermore， the medium- and high-dose groups significantly reduced TNF-α protein expression （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and the high-dose group significantly reduced IL-1β and IL-18 protein expression （P<0.01）. ConclusionThis study confirmed that CRPRR improves neurological function and alleviates brain tissue damage in MCAO/R rats. Its mechanism may be associated with the downregulation of inflammatory factors TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-18， as well as the presence of nine active chemical constituents in cerebrospinal fluid， namely paeoniflorin， senkyunolide F， senkyunolide G， paeonimetabolin Ⅰ， paeoniflorin derivative， senkyunolide H， benzoylpaeoniflorin， senkyunolide A， and ligustilide， which are closely related to their brain-protective effects.

Synthetic biology is a crucial tool for the development of the bio-industry and bio-economy, representing a significant aspect of new quality productive forces. As a core course for graduate students in bioengineering, Synthetic Biology plays a vital role in ensuring the supply of essential talents for the development of the bio-industry in the new era. To better serve regional economic development and provide high-level talents for China's progress in the bio-industry, we analyzed typical issues encountered in the past teaching activities, set up a multi-disciplinary teaching team, optimized the course contents, adjusted the teaching mode, and mobilized students' learning interest. With the application of scientific research project as the starting point, we guided students to think and discuss deeply through the simulation of application writing and project defense, which improved students' critical thinking and innovative thinking. With industrialization as a focus, we explored a new training model combining production, education, and research through the joint practice base of the university and enterprises introduced typical cases of biomanufacturing to encourage students to engage in scientific research. The teaching reform significantly enhances the comprehensive abilities and national sentiments of graduate students. This paper hopes to serve as a reference for colleagues engaged in teaching in this field.

Breast milk is the optimal natural food for newborns. However， some newborns cannot receive maternal breast milk due to reasons such as mother-infant separation or insufficient lactation. The establishment of human milk banks （HMB） can effectively address these issues， thereby increasing the breastfeeding rate among hospitalized newborns and improving their quality of survival. However， HMB in China is still in the development and improvement stage. Its implementation involves a series of ethical issues， such as informed consent， privacy protection， economic incentives， quality and safety， and fair resource distribution， which hinder HMB’s widespread promotion. Therefore， discussing the ethical dilemmas faced by the widespread establishment of HMB in China’s hospitals and analyzing coping strategies are crucial for improving the breastfeeding rate of newborns. This paper deeply analyzed and sorted out the ethical issues and challenges currently faced by HMB in China， and proposed corresponding strategies， including “ensuring informed consent and voluntary participation of both donors and recipients，” “protecting the privacy of donors and recipients，” “establishing an ethics-based moral incentive and social support system，” “strictly controlling quality and safety issues”， and “developing fair and rational policies，” aiming to provide a reference solution for addressing ethical concerns in the establishment and operation of HMB.
