OBJECTIVE To explore optimization pathways for the drug traceability code management model in outpatient pharmacy workflows， providing practical evidence for enhancing the efficiency of pharmaceutical service. METHODS Taking the outpatient pharmacy of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University as the research subject， a comprehensive drug traceability system was established through three key interventions： upgrading the information system architecture [including integration of the hospital information system （HIS） with the traceability platform]， workflow optimization （reorganizing the inventory-dispensing-verification tripartite process）， and designing a dual-mode traceability data collection mechanism （primary data capture at dispensing stations and supplementary capture at verification stations）. Operational efficiency differences before and after implementation were analyzed using the medical insurance data and service timeliness metrics in September 2024. RESULTS After the implementation of drug traceability code management， in terms of data collection: Mode Ⅰ （verification-stage capture） uploaded 26 144 records， while Mode Ⅲ （inventory-as-sales capture） uploaded 443 061 records， totaling 469 205 entries； in terms of time efficiency： average drug dispensing time increased from 28.74 s to 43.37 s （enhanced by 51%）. Through dynamic staffing adjustments， patient wait time only extended from 8.04 min to 8.67 min （enhanced by 8%）. CONCLUSIONS Drug traceability code management can be effectively implemented via a “system reconstruction-process reengineering-human-machine collaboration” trinity strategy， leveraging informatization （e.g.， dual-mode data capture） to offset manual operation delays， which validates the feasibility of balancing national traceability demands with service efficiency in outpatient pharmacies.

ObjectiveTo establish a quality evaluation method for Zhuye Shigao granules（Zhuye Shigaotang） based on fingerprint and determination of index components， and to investigate the therapeutic effect of Zhuye Shigao granules on mice with cold-dampness pestilence attacking lung syndrome. MethodsThe fingerprint of Zhuye Shigao granules was established by high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC）， and the methods for determination of total calcium， orientin， isoorientin， ginsenosides Rg₁， Re and Rb₁ and other 2 index components were established. Fifty ICR mice were randomly divided into the blank group， model group， Zhuye Shigao granules low， medium and high dose groups（9.3， 18.6， 37.2 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， with 10 mice in each group. In addition to the blank group， the model mice with cold-dampness pestilence attacking lung syndrome was prepared by nasal drip of lipopolysaccharide combined with cold-dampness environment. Each administration group was given the corresponding liquid by gavage according to the dose， while the blank group and model group were given the same volume of normal saline by gavage. Then， the body temperature and organ index of mice in each group were measured， hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to investigate the lung tissue injury of mice in each group， and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was used to detect the changes of tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）， interleukin（IL）-lβ， IL-6， IL-10 levels in serum and lung tissue， as well as immunoglobulin（Ig）A and IgM levels in serum. ResultsThe fingerprint similarity of 10 batches of Zhuye Shigao granules was>0.950， and 20 common peaks were calibrated. Seven of them were identified， including peak 11（isoorientin）， peak 12（orientin）， peak 14（apioside liquiritin）， peak 15（liquiritin）， peak 17（apioside isoliquiritin）， peak 19（isoliquiritin） and peak 20（liquiritigenin）. The results of quantitative analysis showed that the content range of each index component in 10 batches of Zhuye Shigao granules was as follows：Total calcium of 9.978-11.294 mg·g^-1， isoorientin of 0.033-0.041 mg·g^-1， orientin of 0.046-0.055 mg·g^-1， ginsenoside Rg₁+ginsenoside Re of 0.748-0.762 mg·g^-1， ginsenoside Rb₁ of 0.151-0.197 mg·g^-1， liquiritin of 1.106-1.366 mg·g^-1， glycyrrhizic acid of 0.904-1.182 mg·g^-1_. Compared with the blank group， the body temperature of mice in the model group was significantly increased， the organ indexes of liver， lung and spleen were significantly decreased， the organ index of thymus was significantly increased， HE staining of lung tissue showed infiltration of inflammatory cells， a small amount of serous exudation was observed in the alveoli， and lung tissue was damaged. After the intervention of Zhuye Shigao granules， the pathological changes were improved compared with the model group. The expression levels of IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly increased， the expression level of IL-10 was significantly decreased in serum and lung tissue. The levels of IgA and IgM in serum were significantly decreased（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the body temperature， the organ indexes and immune factor levels in serum and lung tissue of mice in the Zhuye Shigao granules medium and high dose groups were significantly reduced（P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionIn this study， the quality evaluation of Zhuye Shigao granules was carried out based on fingerprint combined with determination of index components， and the fingerprint of four herbs（Lophatheri Herba， Ophiopogonis Radix， Pinelliae Rhizoma and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma） in this formula and the determination of 8 index components were established. The therapeutic effect of Zhuye Shigao granules on mice with cold-dampness pestilence attacking lung syndrome may be related to inhibiting inflammatory response and mediating immune regulation.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics and trend of stroke incidence in Jining City, Shangdong Province from 2015 to 2022, so as to provide the reference for formulating prevention and control strategies of stroke. Methods: Data of stroke incidence in Jining City from 2015 to 2022 were collected from Shandong Provincial Chronic Disease Surveillance Information Management System. The crude incidence was estimated, standardized using the data of the sixth national population census in 2010, and analyzed by age, gender and subtype. The trend in incidence of stroke was analyzed using annual percent change (APC). Results: A total of 316 267 cases of stroke were reported in Jining City from 2015 to 2022, with a crude incidence of 474.17/105 and a standardized incidence of 371.43/105. The incidence of stroke peaked from March to May (90 409 cases, 28.59%). There were 278 901 cases of ischemic stroke (88.19%) and 37 366 cases of hemorrhagic stroke (11.81%). The crude incidence of stroke was higher in males than in females (525.45/105 vs. 420.16/105, P<0.05). The crude incidence of stroke increased with age (P<0.05), reaching a peak in the age group of 80 years and above (2 764.92/105). From 2015 to 2022, the crude incidence of stroke in the overall population, males, females, the age groups of 0-<30 years and 40-<50 years showed increasing trends (APC=6.142%, 6.992%, 5.054%, 3.693% and 6.587%, all P<0.05); the crude incidence of ischemic stroke in the overall population, males and females showed increasing trends (APC=7.489%, 6.593% and 5.456%, all P<0.05), while the crude incidence rates of hemorrhagic stroke did not show significant trends (APC=3.455%, 2.804% and 1.919%, all P>0.05). Conclusions The crude incidence of stroke increased in Jining City from 2015 to 2022, with ischemic stroke as the predominant subtype. March to May was the peak period for disease onset, and young and middle-aged men should be focused on.

Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic effect of intense pulsed light on rosacea.Methods:From December 2022 to April 2023, the Dermatology Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM and other Chinese and English databases to collect clinical randomized controlled studies on intense pulsed light treatment of rosacea for ameta-analysis.Results:A total of 559 patients were included in 6 randomized controlled trials. The efficacy of the combination of strong pulsed light and medication in the treatment of rosacea was significantly better than that of medication alone ( Z=6.15, P<0.001). After subgroup analysis, the combination of strong pulsed light and tetracycline drugs was more effective in treating rosacea than using tetracycline drugs alone ( Z=3.17, P<0.05). The efficacy of the combination of strong pulsed light and minocycline in the treatment of rosacea was better than that of minocycline alone ( Z=2.37, P<0.05), and clinical evaluation showed the improvements of erythema, papules, and pustules. The differences in scores for itching and capillary dilation were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy of intense pulsed light therapy for rosacea is definite, and its combination with topical or oral medication is superior to that of medication alone. However, the stability of the effect needs to be confirmed by more high-quality randomized controlled trials.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that puerarin can inhibit the differentiation of osteoclasts,and the expression of Notch signaling pathway-related proteins such as Notch1,HES1,and Jagged1 is decreased.However,the specific mechanism of the Notch1 signaling pathway for the inhibition of osteoclast differentiation by puerarin is not clear. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of Notch signaling pathway on puerarin inhibiting the differentiation of mouse macrophage Raw264.7 into osteoclasts. METHODS:Raw264.7 cells were divided into seven groups for intervention culture.Blank control group was cultured in high-sugar DMEM medium;the osteoclast induction group was cultured in osteoclast induction medium;the puerarin intervention group was cultured with 50 μmol/L puerarin at the same time of osteoclast induction;Notch1 siRNA control group,Notch1 siRNA group,Notch1 overexpression control group and Notch1 overexpression group were transfected with Notch1 siRNA control sequence,Notch1 siRNA,Notch1 overexpression control plasmid and Notch1 overexpression plasmid,respectively,and then cultured with osteoclast induction medium and puerarin.The number and size of osteoclasts were observed by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining,the skeleton formation of osteoclasts was observed by F-actin staining,and the gene expression level of osteoclast formation markers was detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining results showed that puerarin intervention could inhibit the generation of osteoclasts,Notch1 silencing could further reduce the number of osteoclasts,while the number of osteoclasts in the osteoclast-induced group increased significantly after Notch1 overexpression.The results of F-actin showed that Raw264.7 cells could form a well-defined F-actin ring after osteoclast induction.Puerarin intervention would inhibit the formation of cytoskeleton,and Notch1 silencing could aggravate the inhibitory effect of cytoskeleton formation,while Notch1 overexpression could alleviate this inhibitory effect of puerarin.RT-PCR results showed that puerarin could inhibit the mRNA expression levels of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase,Cathepsin K and c-Fos,the expression of the above-mentioned three factors decreased significantly after Notch1 gene silencing,and Notch1 overexpression could upregulate the expression of these factors.These finding indicate that puerarin inhibits the differentiation of Raw264.7 cells into osteoclasts through the Notch signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the mechanism mediating the regulatory effect of lncRNA MAGI2-AS3 on cisplatin(DDP)resistance in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods MAGI2-AS3 and miR-1269a expression levels were detected by qRT-PCR in DDP-sensitive lung cancer cell lines(A549 and H1299)and their resistant counterparts(A549/DDP and H1299/DDP).In A549 and H1299 cells with MAGI2-AS3 silencing and A549/DDP and H1299/DDP cells overexpressing MAGI2-AS3,the effects of 20 μmol/L DDP on cell viability and apoptosis were examined with CCK-8 assay,colony formation assay,flow cytometry and Western blotting,and the changes in epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)were assessed with wound healing and Transwell assays.The interaction between MAGI2-AS3,miR-1269a and PTEN was predicted using GEPIA,StarBase and miRDB and verified with luciferase reporter gene assay and radioimmunoprecipitation(RIP)assay.A miR-1269a mimic and pcDNA3.1-PTEN plasmid were used to perform the rescue assay.Results MAGI2-AS3 expression was significantly downregulated in lung cancer tissues(P<0.05)in association with a poor prognosis(P<0.05).In the two DDP-resistant lung cancer cell lines,MAGI2-AS3 expression was significantly lowered as compared with the sensitive cells.Silencing MAGI2-AS3 significantly enhanced cell viability and promoted EMT of A549 and H1299 cells irrespective of DDP treatment,and also decreased DDP-induced apoptosis of the cells.In A549/DDP and H1299/DDP cells,MAGI2-AS3 overexpression strongly repressed cell viability and EMT irrespective of DDP treatment and promoted DDP-induced cell apoptosis.Luciferase reporter gene and RIP assays confirmed the binding of MAGI2-AS3 with miR-1269a and the binding of miR-1269a with 3'-UTR domain of PTEN.The rescue assay demonstrated that MAGI2-AS3 acted as a sponge for miR-1269a to promote PTEN expression and downregulate AKT phosphorylation,thus inhibiting EMT and promoting DDP-induced apoptosis of A549/DDP cells.Conclusion MAGI2-AS3 enhances DDP sensitivity of NSCLC by targeted regulation of the miR-1269a/PTEN/AKT signaling axis.

Objective To investigate the toxicity and mechanism of a novel Staphylococcus aureus with incomplete hemolytic phenotype(SIHP)filtrate on non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)HCC827 cell line.Methods The filtrates and diluents of novel SIHP and Staphylococcus aureus with complete hemolytic phenotype(SCHP)were co-incubated with 1％ human red blood cells and HCC827 cells.Hemoglobin release method was used to detect red blood cell toxicity,CCK-8 method was used to detect HCC827 cell activity.Ion selective electrode method,colori-metric method and immunofluorescence method were used to detect potassium(K+),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and interleukin-6(IL-6)concentrations in the incubation supernatants.Results The filtrate and diluent of novel SIHP could significantly damage the activity of HCC827 cells,causing K+and LDH leakage.The filtrate and 1:3 diluent of novel SIHP resulted in a decrease and an increase in IL-6 secretion in HCC827 cells,respec-tively.Compared with SCHP,the filtrate and diluent of novel SIHP had stronger red blood cell toxicity and more severe K+leakage in HCC827 cells.Conclusion The filtrate of novel SIHP can damage the cell membrane,lead to content release and kill NSCLC cells,with a stronger toxicity than SCHP.
