OBJECTIVE To formulate Guidelines for the standardized implementation of pharmacist-managed clinics （ 2026 edition ） in response to the challenges faced by such clinics in China， including uneven development， large discrepancies in service specifications， insufficient patient awareness， and limited medical insurance coverage. METHODS Led by the Pharmaceutical Affairs Professional Committee of the Chinese Hospital Association， the Evidence-based Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association， and the Hospital Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Cross-strait Medical and Health Exchange Association， a total of 19 domestic hospital pharmacy experts were organized. Through a systematic review of national policies and literature research， current practical experience was summarized. Consensus on the contents of the guidelines was reached after in-depth discussions. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS The guidelines covered five sections： definition and connotation of pharmacist-managed clinics， establishment requirements， implementation and management， post competency， and practical research. Firstly， the definition and connotation included three operational forms of pharmacist-managed clinics （independent mode， physician-pharmacist joint mode， and online pharmacist-managed clinic mode） and classified service modes （specialty-specific， drug-specific， and disease-specific pharmacist-managed clinics）. The establishment requirements were further refined， covering system construction （pharmaceutical service management system， quality control and assessment mechanism）， personnel qualifications （professional credentials， continuing education and professional training， etc）， service recipients， as well as service venues and facilities. Subsequently， the implementation and management of pharmacist-managed clinics were proposed， involving service procedures， intervention measures， documentation and records， patient education and follow-up， humanistic care， as well as risk management and quality control. Finally， post competency encompassed the competency requirements for pharmacists providing services in pharmacist-managed clinics， as well as the suggestions on teaching methods； practical research encouraged the conduct of high-quality pharmaceutical practice in the setting of pharmacist-managed clinics. The guidelines provide valuable guidance for the standardized implementation of pharmacist-managed clinics in China in terms of establishment， management， teaching， and research， fill the guideline gap in this field， and can promote the high-quality development of pharmacist-managed clinics.

Background/Aims: Liver transplantation (LT) following total hepatectomy is a life-saving treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The HCC recurrence after LT hinders the effectiveness of the procedure. The objective of this study is to develop a pre-operative risk stratification model based on a liquid biopsy. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive multi-omics study of 260 HCC patients from three centers, including clinical data, low-coverage whole-genome sequencing of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from plasma, as well as whole-exome, single-nucleus RNA, and spatial transcriptomics from matched tumor and non-tumor tissues. Results: We identified cfDNA-derived copy number alteration (CNA) signatures associated with post-transplant recurrence. By integrating cfDNA-derived CNA profiles with single-cell transcriptomic data, we traced recurrence-associated cfDNA to a distinct subpopulation of malignant cells within the primary tumor. These cells were embedded in a pro-metastatic microenvironment of specialized endothelial subtypes and cancer-associated fibroblasts. Notably, most recurrence-associated lesions were detectable in cfDNA prior to liver transplantation (LT). Building on these insights, we developed the ZJU Criteria based on CNA fragments and tumor markers, a pre-LT risk prediction tool that integrates conventional clinical factors with cfDNA-derived CNA signatures, and validated it using internal and independent external cohorts. Conclusion Our findings suggest that post-transplant recurrence commonly originates from advanced subclones that emerge late during tumor evolution. The ZJU Criteria provides an accurate, non-invasive strategy that significantly improves pre-LT risk stratification and clinical decision-making for patients with HCC.

ObjectiveMigraine is a leading neurological disorder and the fourth most common cause of years lived with disability worldwide, affecting nearly 116 million individuals. Although pharmacological treatments are available, their efficacy is often limited by side effects and variable response rates. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) offers a safe, non-invasive alternative for migraine management. However, the neurophysiological mechanisms, particularly how rTMS modulates local cortical excitability and distributed pain-related circuits, remain poorly understood. Elucidating these mechanisms is essential for optimizing treatment protocols and improving clinical outcomes. MethodsThis study employed concurrent transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) to investigate neuroplastic and neurocircuitry mechanisms of DLPFC-rTMS in migraine. Study 1 compared 30 migraineurs and 28 healthy controls to identify abnormalities in TMS-evoked potentials (TEPs) and significant current density (SCD) within sensory-discriminative regions including the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) and posterior insula (pINS), cognitive-affective regions including the anterior insula (aINS) and midcingulate cortex (MCC), and a descending modulatory region, the periaqueductal gray (PAG). Study 2 used a single-blind, crossover, sham-controlled design in 34 healthy participants. Each participant received both active (10 Hz, 80% RMT, 1 500 pulses) and sham DLPFC-rTMS in counterbalanced order. TMS-EEG and cold pain tolerance were assessed before and after each session. ResultsIn Study 1, migraineurs showed a significantly less negative N120 amplitude compared to healthy controls (P=0.027, Cohen’s d=0.60), indicating local intracortical disinhibition. No group differences were observed for N40, P60, or P180 components. At the source level, migraineurs exhibited significantly higher SCD in the S1, pINS, aINS, and MCC (allQ<0.05), but not in the ventroposterior thalamus (vpTHAL), mediodorsal thalamus (mdTHAL), or PAG. In Study 2, active rTMS significantly reduced SCD from pre- to post-stimulation in the S1, aINS, and MCC (all Q<0.05). Sham stimulation also reduced SCD in the S1 (Q<0.05) but not in the aINS or MCC. Although no significant group-level analgesic effect was observed between active and sham conditions (P=0.107), correlation analyses revealed that greater SCD reductions in the S1 and MCC were significantly associated with higher post-rTMS pain tolerance (R=-0.487 and -0.495, both Q<0.01) and larger improvements in pain tolerance(R=-0.487 and -0.451, both Q<0.05). No such correlations were found following sham stimulation, suggesting that the behavioural relevance of neural changes is specific to active rTMS. ConclusionThis study provides novel evidence that migraineurs exhibit both local neuroplastic abnormalities (reduced N120 amplitude) and hyperactivity in key pain-processing regions (S1, pINS, aINS, MCC). A single session of DLPFC-rTMS reduced hyperactivity in the aINS, MCC, and S1. Notably, greater reductions in the S1 and MCC were associated with improved pain tolerance. These findings identify distinct cortical circuitries, particularly within the cognitive-affective pain network, that may serve as potential biomarkers for optimizing rTMS treatment in migraine and other chronic pain conditions. Future studies should validate these results in patient populations experiencing spontaneous migraine attacks and explore multi-session or accelerated rTMS protocols.

Objective To explore the motor coordination characteristics of the attack leg of the athletes under scoring actions in the front roundhouse kick of competitive taekwondo,and provide a theoretical basis for coaches to formulate precise training strategies in stages and segments so as to enhance the efficiency and success rate of the athletes' movements.Methods Kinematic data and surface electromyography signals were collected from 15 elite Taekwondo athletes during different phases of the front roundhouse kick.The continuous relative phase(CRP)method was used to calculate the joint coordination and variability of continuous relative phase(VCRP),while non-negative matrix factorization and k-means clustering were used to analyze muscle synergy characteristics.Results The coupling of the neural launch phase was dominated by knee-ankle coupling in coronal axis and hip-ankle coupling in sagittal axis.The coupling of the kicking phase was dominated by hip-knee,hip-ankle in coronal axis,and knee-ankle coupling in vertical axis.The coupling of the recovery phase was dominated by hip-knee,hip-ankle coupling in coronal axis,and knee-ankle coupling in sagittal axis.These coupling relationships remained relatively stable around 0 rad.Approximately 80.0％VCRP remained stable across all phases,with minor fluctuations occurring at phase transitions.A total of 4,5,and 4 muscle synergy clusters were identified in neural launch,kicking,recovery phases,respectively.There were significant differences in the mean gap values among phases(P＜0.001).However,there were no significant differences in the mean sparsity values among phases(P＞0.05).Some muscle synergies were shared across phases,while others differentiated to form phase-specific coordination patterns.Conclusions Joint coordination in each phase exhibited 1-3 primary stable patterns with flexibility during transitions.Muscle coordination was dynamically adjusted throughout the motion,and a general muscle synergy pattern functioned consistently across different phases,whereas a differentiated muscle synergy pattern fulfilled the phase-specific functional demands.The neural launch and kicking phases should be focused on during training,with the emphasis on controling over critical points to optimize performance.

Chemotherapy is a critical treatment modality for cancer,playing an essential role in oncology.However,chemotherapy-related diarrhea(CRD)remains a troubling adverse effect,often leading to reduced chemotherapy doses,treatment delays or discontinuation,and modifications to therapeutic plans.In severe cases,CRD can be life-threatening.5-fluorouracil and irinotecan are the most common chemotherapy drugs that cause CRD.With the increase in the use of triplet combination chemotherapy regimens,diarrhea-related deaths have increased,which may be related to neutropenic enterocolitis.Loperamide is the main drug for the treatment of CRD.In clinical practice,management of diarrhea that is not responsive to loperamide is of utmost concern.Therefore,based on evidence-based medicine and clinical practice experience,the expert panel carried out a comprehensive assessment and discussion on the definition,pathogenesis,classification,evaluation,diagnosis,intervention,and prevention of CRD.Eventually,the Chinese Expert Consensus on Whole-process Management of Chemotherapy-Related Diarrhea(2025 Edition)was formulated to further standardize the whole-process management of chemotherapy-related diarrhea.The consensus has been registered on Practice guideline REgistration for transPAREncy(PREPARE)with the registration number PREPARE-2024CN1246.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of low molecular weight heparin bridging therapy for patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair who with long-term oral antiplatelet agents.Methods:The propensity score matching and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 126 patients undergoing tension-free inguinal hernia repair who with long-term oral antiplatelet agents and admitted to Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences & Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital (Affiliated Hospital of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China) from January 2017 to January 2025 were collected. There were 120 males and 6 females, aged (74±9)years. Of the 126 patients, 77 patients who discontinued antiplatelet agents alone before inguinal hernia repair were set as the drug withdrawal group, and 49 patients who discontinued antiplatelet agents with low molecular weight heparin bridging therapy before inguinal hernia repair were set as the bridging group. Observation indicators: (1) propensity score matching and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching; (2) intraoperative and postopera-tive conditions; (3) follow-up. Comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Propensity score matching was performed using the 1∶1 nearest neighbor matching method. The caliper value was set as 0.1. Results:(1) Propensity score matching and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching. Of the 126 patients, 90 patients were success-fully matched, with 45 cases in each of the drug withdrawal group and the bridging group. After propensity score matching, the elimination of hernia ring size, activated partial thromboplasmin time and surgical method factors confounding bias ensured comparability. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative conditions. After propensity score matching, patients using plasma drainage tubes during the operation in the drug withdrawal group and the bridging group were 8 and 1, respec-tively, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.05). The visual analogue scale scores of patients in the drug withdrawal group and the bridging group at 48 hours after surgery were 2(range, 1-2) and 2(range, 2-3), respectively, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( Z=-2.57, P<0.05). (3) Follow-up. After propensity score matching, all 90 patients were followed up after surgery for 16.5(range, 9.0-30.0)days. During the follow-up period, there was no significant difference in pain, seroma, incisional infection, readmission within 30 days after surgery getween two groups (P>0.05). No serious thrombotic events occurred in either group of patients, and no patient died. Conclusion:Compared with patients who discontinued antiplatelet agents alone before surgery, preoperative low molecular weight heparin bridging therapy after discontinua-tion of medication is safe and feasible for patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair who with long-term oral antiplatelet agents, in additon to less plasma drainage tubes using during the operation and without more risk of bleeding, but more postoperative pain.

Objective To analyze the association between lifestyle and the risk of type 2 diabetes(T2D)among adult residents.Methods The data was sourced from the Shanghai Suburban Adult Cohort and Biobank.A total of 42 096 adult residents who had not developed T2D were recruited from four districts of Shanghai(Songjiang,Jiading,Minhang,and Xuhui)between 2016 and 2019.The follow-up ended on Feb 28,2023.A structured questionnaire was used to collect information on six lifestyle-related items,including smoking,alcohol consumption,BMI,waist circumference(WC),physical activity,and diet.The unhealthy lifestyle scores(UHLS)were calculated by counting the number of all the unhealthy lifestyle items,with a range of 0-6.New-onset T2D events diagnosed by physicians were obtained through the medical information system.Cox proportional hazards regression model and restricted cubic spline model were utilized to evaluate the association between unhealthy lifestyles and the risk of T2D incidence.Results About 28.1%of the participants led 4-6 unhealthy lifestyles.A total of 1 752 new T2D cases were identified during 218 513.4 person-years of follow-up.Analysis of single unhealthy lifestyle showed that abnormal WC(HR=1.5,95%CI:1.4-1.7)and abnormal BMI(HR=1.3,95%CI:1.2-1.5)were associated with an increased risk of T2D.Compared with individuals with a UHLS of 0-1,those with a UHLS of 3 and 4-6 had 30%(95%CI:1.1-1.6)and 50%(95%CI:1.2-1.8)higher risks of T2D,respectively.Each additional unhealthy lifestyle was associated with a 10%increase in T2D incidence risk(HR=1.1,95%CI:1.1-1.2).Conclusion The risk of T2D in adult residents increases with the cumulative number of unhealthy lifestyles.Adult residents with abnormal WC or BMI,or have three or more unhealthy lifestyles accumulated,will increase the risk of new-onset T2D.
