OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical efficacy of integrating pharmacists into family health teams （FHTs） for long-term medication therapeutical management （MTM） in stroke patients， and empirically evaluate the service model. METHODS A pharmacist team， jointly established by clinical and community pharmacists from the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University （hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”）， developed a pharmacist-supported MTM model integrated into FHTs. Using a prospective randomized controlled design， 170 stroke patients discharged from our hospital （July 2022-December 2023） and enrolled in FHTs at Suzhou Runda Community Hospital were randomly divided into trial group （88 cases） and control group （82 cases） according to random number table. The control group received routine FHTs care （without pharmacist involvement in the team collaboration）， while the trial group xhz8405@126.com received 12-month MTM services supported by pharmacists via an information platform. These services specifically included innovative interventions such as personalized medication regimen optimization based on the MTM framework， dynamic medication adherence management， medication safety monitoring， a home medication assessment system， and distinctive service offerings. Outcomes of the 2 grousp were compared before and after intervention， involving medication adherence （adherence rate， adherence score）， compliance rates for stroke recurrence risk factors [blood pressure， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）]， and incidence of adverse drug reactions （ADR）. RESULTS After 12 months， the trial group exhibited significantly higher medication adherence rates， improved adherence scores， higher compliance rates for blood pressure and LDL-C targets compared to the control group （P＜0.05）. The incidence of ADR in the trial group （4.55%） was significantly lower than that in the control group （8.11%）， though the difference was not statistically significant （P＞ 0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Pharmacist involvement in FHTs to deliver MTM services significantly enhances medication adherence and optimizes risk factor for stroke recurrence， offering practical evidence for advancing pharmaceutical care in chronic disease management under the family doctor system.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with type A aortic dissection(TAAD)after Sun's operation.Methods The clinical data of 87 patients who underwent TAAD Sun's operation in our hospital from March 2021 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into the bleeding group and the non-bleeding group according to whether there was gastrointestinal bleeding after operation.The clinical data of patients in the two groups was compared and analyzed.The binary Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of gastrointestinal bleeding.The clinical predictor of postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results In this study,there were 40 cases of postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding(the bleeding group)and 47 cases of non-bleeding(the non-bleeding group).Compared with the non-bleeding group,the bleeding group had a shorter onset time,a higher proportion of patients with hypertension history,a higher preoperative creatinine abnormality rate,more intraoperative blood loss,longer postoperative mechanical ventilation time,higher postoperative infection rate,and higher poor prognosis rate,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the gender,age,gastrointestinal diseases history,smoking history,preoperative platelets,preoperative international normalized ratio(INR),preoperative alanine aminotransferase(ALT),preoperative aspartate aminotransferase(AST),preoperative γ-glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT),preoperative dissection involving abdominal aorta,operation time,intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass time,intraoperative circulatory arrest time,intraoperative aortic occlusion time or intraoperative blood transfusion rate.Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension history(OR=2.468,95%CI:0.862 to 7.067,P=0.037),preoperative creatinine>105 μmol/L(OR=3.970,95%CI:1.352 to 11.659,P=0.011),long postoperative mechanical ventilation time(OR=1.015,95%CI:0.094 to 1.018,P=0.041)and postoperative infection(OR=3.435,95%CI:0.991 to 11.900,P=0.012)were the independent risk factors for postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding in TAAD patients.ROC curve showed that the postoperative mechanical ventilation time exceeding 64 hours were the clinical predictor of postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding in TAAD patients.Conclusion The prognosis of TAAD patients with postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding after Sun's operation is poor.Hypertension history,preoperative acute renal insufficiency,long postoperative mechanical ventilation time and postoperative infection are closely related to postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding in TAAD patients after operation,which should be paid more attention to,and corresponding evaluation,early identification and early intervention should be made to improve the prognosis of patients.

Tamoxifen(TAM)has been widely used for the treatment of ER+breast cancer.However,the inevitable emergence of resistance to tamoxifen obstructs the successful treatment of this cancer.The tumor suppressor gene N-myc downstream-regulated gene 2(NDRG2)plays a significant role in the de-velopment of ER+breast cancer.However,it is unclear whether NDRG2 participates in mediating TAM resistance in ER+breast cancer.Here,we investigate the expression of NDRG2 mRNA and protein in TAM-sensitive and TAM-resistant ER+breast cancer cells.The results of immunoblotting experiments re-vealed a negative correlation between NDRG2 expression and TAM resistance ability in ER+breast cancer cells(P＜0.001).CCK-8 cell viability assays and soft agar colony formation assays showed that NDRG2 overexpression in TAM resistant cells significantly reduced the TAM IC50 value and the soft agar colony formation rate(P＜0.001).For the mechanism,the ERAD reporter protein assays showed that NDRG2 overexpression upregulated the expression of the ERAD reporter protein CD3ε-YFP and increased the lev-els of spliced XBP1s mRNA,leading to severe endoplasmic reticulum stress in TAM resistant cells(P＜0.001).Immunoblot analysis confirmed that overexpression of NDRG2 significantly increased the level of phosphorylation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress sensor IRE 1α and the expression levels of its down-stream protein factors,including ERdj4,P58IPK,EDEM and PDIA5(P＜0.001).The in vivo xenograft tumor experiments in mice further verified that NDRG2 overexpression significantly inhibited the growth of resistant tumors,which enhanced the therapeutic effect of TAM(P＜0.001).These findings indicate that increasing NDRG2 expression and triggering severe endoplasmic reticulum stress upon TAM treatment can reverse the resistance of ER+breast cancer cells to TAM and inhibits the growth of ER+breast canc-er tumors.Our results provide valuable new insights and potential targets for improving the clinical man-agement of TAM-resistance and prognosis in ER+breast cancer.

Objective:To explore the application value of simultaneous monitoring of voriconazole(VRCZ)and voriconazole N-oxide(VNO)in efficacy and safety of VRCZ in the prevention and treatment of fungal infections in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)patients before engraftment(i.e.,days+1 to+30 after transplantation).Methods:The influencing factors of VRCZ,VNO concentration and MR(CVNO/CVRCz)and the difference of VRCZ in the prevention and treatment of fungal infection and liver and kidney injury were analyzed.The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was used to analyze the differences(the corresponding to the maximum of the Youden index on the curve was set as the cut-off value)to confirm the critical value.Results:The factors affecting VRCZ concentration(CVRCZ),VNO concentration(CVNO)and MR were patient weight,VRCZ daily dose,and transplantation type(all P＜0.05).CVRCZ and CVNO in the effective group were higher than those in the ineffective group(P＜0.001),the opposite of MR(P＜0.001);the liver and renal injury group had lower MR than the normal group(P＜0.05).ROC showed that CVRCZ,CVNO and MR had important value in predicting VRCZ in the prevention and treatment of invasive fungal infections in allo-HSCT patients before engraftment,and their cutoff of concentrations were 0.95 μg/ml,1.35 μg/ml and 1.645,respectively(AUC:0.9677,0.7634,0.9564).CVRCZ and MR can assist in indicating liver[cutoff values:0.65 μg/ml,1.96(AUC:0.5971,0.6663)]and renal injury[cutoff values:0.95 μg/ml,1.705(AUC:0.6039,0.6164)].Conclusion:The great value of simultaneous monitoring of VRCZ,VNO and MR can predict in the efficacy and safety of VRCZ in allo-HSCT patients before engraftment.The prediction accuracy of CVRCZ was higher than that of MR,followed by that of CVNO.Increased CVRCZ and decreased MR increase the risk of liver and kidney injury.

Objective:To explore the overall survival and prognostic factors of patients over 50 years old with acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Methods:The clinical data of 222 AML patients aged over 50 years in our hospital from January 2016 and June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the overall survival(OS)rate,and Cox regression model to evaluate the prognostic factors.Results:The 1-year and 3-year OS rates of all patients were 46.8％and 28.8％,respectively.The recurrence rate of patients who achieved remission during follow-up time was 57％.Both univariate and multivariate analysis showed that advanced age,MLL family fusion gene,PHF6 gene mutation,TP53 gene mutation,intolerance to standard chemotherapy,incomplete remission,complex karyotype,+mar karyotype and inv(3)karyotype were significantly correlated with prognosis(all P＜0.05).Negative fusion gene and positive AML-ETO fusion gene had no obvious survival advantage in this population.In patients with complete remission,there was no significant survival advantage in those who achieved minimal residual disease negative.Conclusion:AML patients aged over 50 years have a poor outcome and high recurrence rate.The prognosis is affected by multiple factors and has its own characteristics.

A retrospective analysis was conducted on three patients with primary myelofibrosis who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) at Shanghai Zhaxin Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital from 2020 to 2023. They subsequently developed poor graft function. The patients received selected donor CD34 + cell boosts as salvage therapy. There were two male patients and one female patient, with a median age of 68 (39-69) years. The median time from allo-HSCT to the selected donor CD34 + cell boost was 83 (56-154) days. The median infusion of selected donor CD34 + cells was 7.67 (7.61-9.06) ×10 6/kg, with a CD34 + cell purity of 97.76% (96.50%-97.91%) and a recovery rate of 70% (42%-75%) . Hematological recovery was achieved in two cases. No acute GVHD was observed in any of the three patients. One case of moderate oral chronic GVHD was noted. Selected donor CD34 + cell boosts for the treatment of poor graft function after allo-HSCT in primary myelofibrosis was effective and no severe acute or chronic GVHD was observed.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of pneumococcal meningitis(PM),and drug sensitivity of Streptococcus pneumoniae(SP)isolates in Chinese children.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical information,laboratory data,and microbiological data of 160 hospitalized children under 15 years old with PM from January 2019 to December 2020 in 33 tertiary hospitals across the country.Results Among the 160 children with PM,there were 103 males and 57 females.The age ranged from 15 days to 15 years,with 109 cases(68.1% )aged 3 months to under 3 years.SP strains were isolated from 95 cases(59.4% )in cerebrospinal fluid cultures and from 57 cases(35.6% )in blood cultures.The positive rates of SP detection by cerebrospinal fluid metagenomic next-generation sequencing and cerebrospinal fluid SP antigen testing were 40% (35/87)and 27% (21/78),respectively.Fifty-five cases(34.4% )had one or more risk factors for purulent meningitis,113 cases(70.6% )had one or more extra-cranial infectious foci,and 18 cases(11.3% )had underlying diseases.The most common clinical symptoms were fever(147 cases,91.9% ),followed by lethargy(98 cases,61.3% )and vomiting(61 cases,38.1% ).Sixty-nine cases(43.1% )experienced intracranial complications during hospitalization,with subdural effusion and/or empyema being the most common complication[43 cases(26.9% )],followed by hydrocephalus in 24 cases(15.0% ),brain abscess in 23 cases(14.4% ),and cerebral hemorrhage in 8 cases(5.0% ).Subdural effusion and/or empyema and hydrocephalus mainly occurred in children under 1 year old,with rates of 91% (39/43)and 83% (20/24),respectively.SP strains exhibited complete sensitivity to vancomycin(100% ,75/75),linezolid(100% ,56/56),and meropenem(100% ,6/6).High sensitivity rates were also observed for levofloxacin(81% ,22/27),moxifloxacin(82% ,14/17),rifampicin(96% ,25/26),and chloramphenicol(91% ,21/23).However,low sensitivity rates were found for penicillin(16% ,11/68)and clindamycin(6% ,1/17),and SP strains were completely resistant to erythromycin(100% ,31/31).The rates of discharge with cure and improvement were 22.5% (36/160)and 66.2% (106/160),respectively,while 18 cases(11.3% )had adverse outcomes.Conclusions Pediatric PM is more common in children aged 3 months to under 3 years.Intracranial complications are more frequently observed in children under 1 year old.Fever is the most common clinical manifestation of PM,and subdural effusion/emphysema and hydrocephalus are the most frequent complications.Non-culture detection methods for cerebrospinal fluid can improve pathogen detection rates.Adverse outcomes can be noted in more than 10% of PM cases.SP strains are high sensitivity to vancomycin,linezolid,meropenem,levofloxacin,moxifloxacin,rifampicin,and chloramphenicol.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(2):131-138]

Objective To analyze the objective tongue diagnosis data characteristics of benign and malignant pulmonary nodules and to establish a lung cancer risk warning model based on the logistic regression method.Methods From July 2020 to March 2022,263 lung cancer patients(lung cancer group)from the Oncology Department of Longhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,292 benign pulmonary nodules patients(benign pulmonary nodules group)from the Physical Examination Center of Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,and 307 healthy individuals(healthy control group)were selected.TFDA-1 digital tongue diagnostic instrument was used to collect tongue images.Objective diagnostic features of the tongue were obtained through feature extraction technology.The distribution characteristics of the tongue indicators of the three groups of subjects were analyzed.A lung cancer warning model was established based on logistic regression method after feature screening,and the performance of the model was evaluated using sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,and AUC.Results The tongue features of patients in benign pulmonary nodules group were similar to those of the healthy control group,while the tongue features of the lung cancer group differed greatly from those of the healthy control group and benign pulmonary nodules group.The tongue features of lung cancer patients were dark and opaque,the tongue body was reddish,and the tongue coating is thin and yellowish with a greasy texture.The accuracy,sensitivity,specificity and AUC of the lung cancer warning model based on tongue image data were 70.09%,69.94%,70.29%and 0.769,respectively.After adding baseline information to the tongue image data set,the models'performance was improved.The accuracy,sensitivity,specificity and AUC of the new model based on tongue and baseline were 77.30%,75.94%,79.15%and 0.812,respectively.Conclusion The statistical characteristics of objective tongue image data between benign pulmonary nodules and lung cancer patients show significant differences.The lung cancer classification model based on objective tongue data performs well,and the objective tongue diagnosis data in TCM can provide reference for the differential diagnosis of benign pulmonary nodules and lung cancer.

Three carboline fluorescent probes F1-F3 were designed and synthesized, based on lead compound JYJ-19, an antifungal compound discovered previously by our group. The antifungal activity in vitro results showed that compound F1 had moderate antifungal activity (MIC₈₀ = 32 μg·mL^-1). The stokes shift of F1 is 70 nm. The fluorescent probe F1 has good optical properties and can be used for fluorescence imaging research. Subcellular localization experiments results showed that F1 was enriched in the mitochondria of fungal cells. The detection of intracellular reactive oxygen species levels shows that JYJ-19 enhances intracellular reactive oxygen species levels. The above results indicated that carboline compounds could exert antifungal effects by acting on fungal mitochondria.
