OBJECTIVE To establish a interview outline design process and quality control evaluation method based on grounded theory， providing ideas for qualitative research interview outline design in medical fields. METHODS A literature review was conducted to understand the current research status； a preliminary interview outline was developed around the research content. The triangulation method， group evaluation， expert review and pre-interview were adopted to execute the interview outline and conduct quality control. The evaluation indicators and target values were formulated （an average score for the overall quality evaluation of all indicators ≥4.5， and an average score for individual indicators ≥4.00） to evaluate the effect of the interview outline. Taking the research on the mechanism of physicians’ prescribing behavior under the background of Diagnosis Related Groups （DRGs） payment as an example， the methodological contents of above interview outline were applied in practical research. RESULTS The interview outline included basic information and interview questions. The interview questions were divided into three parts：influencing factors survey， promoting and hindering factors of standardizing physician prescription behavior， and communication， with a total of 12 questions. After being reviewed by members of the research group， experts review and pre- interview， a total of 9 people participated in the quality control evaluation of the interview outline. The overall evaluation score was 4.94 （＞4.50）， and the average score of each indicator was greater than 4.00， indicating that the quality of the outline met the requirements for the interview and could be used for the formal interview. CONCLUSIONS The established interview outline design and quality control method based on grounded theory provides ideas for the qualitative research interview outline design in the medical field， and lays the foundation for further using grounded theory to study the influencing factors and mechanisms of physician prescription behavior under the DRG background.

Objective: To improve the efficiency and standardization of preoperative anemia diagnosis and treatment by establishing a systematic intelligent management platform for preoperative anemia. Methods: A multidisciplinary collaborative model was adopted to develop a preoperative anemia management system that integrates intelligent early warning, standardized treatment pathways, and quality control. The system utilizes natural language processing technology to automatically capture laboratory data and establish evidence-based medical decision support functions. A pre-post study design was employed to compare changes in preoperative anemia screening rates, preoperative anemia intervention rates, reasonable use of iron supplements, and perioperative red blood cell transfusion rates before and after system implementation. Results: After system implementation, the standardization of anemia diagnosis and treatment significantly improved: 1) Screening effectiveness: The anemia screening rate increased to 50.00% (an increase of 27.24%); 2) Intervention effectiveness: The anemia treatment rate rose to 56.30% (an increase of 14.02%); 3) Treatment standardization: The reasonable use rate of iron supplements increased to 55.33% (an increase of 21.02%); the red blood cell transfusion rate decreased to 18.29% (a decrease of 4.07%), and the amount of red blood cell transfusions was reduced by 291 units. Conclusion: This system achieves full-process management of preoperative anemia through information technology, significantly enhancing the standardization of diagnosis and treatment as well as intervention effectiveness, providing an effective solution for perioperative anemia management.

Objective To explore the sex differences in drug metabolism of sufentanil in Chinese patients based on the mutation classification of cytochrome P450 3A(CYP3A)enzymes.Methods According to the possible effects of combined cytochrome P450 3A4 gene*1G locus(CYP3A4*1G)and cytochrome P450 3A5 gene*3 locus(CYP3A5*3)mutation groups on Chinese population,we added different weights to CYP3A4*1G and CYP3A5*3 polymorphisms and classified patients into 3 groups:GroupⅠ,patients carried either the CYP3A4*1G/*1G allele or both CYP3A4*1/*1G allele and CYP3A5*3/*3 allele;Group Ⅱ,patients with both CYP3A4*1/*1G allele and CYP3A5*1/*3 allele;Group Ⅲ,patients with either the CYP3A4*1/*1 allele or both CYP3A4*1/*1G allele and CYP3A5*1/*1 allele.A single-dose,double-blind,stratified random sampling was performed,and 255 patients undergoing endoscopic surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University were finally subjected.According to the results of genetic testing,an independent statistician,before operation,randomly selected 30 patients from each stratified group to form a study cohort(male-female ratio of 1∶1)and named each group A,B or C.Clinical investigators and subjects kept double-blind to the results of grouping and genetic testing.After entering the operating room,the subjected 90 patients received a single dose of sufentanil followed by collection of blood samples at 10 time points including 2 min before and from 2 to 120 min after administration.After the surgery,we determined the plasma drug concentration,calculated the pharmacokinetic parameters,and compared the metabolic differences between different genders in each group and unblinded the study.Results The cohort best fitted the two-compartment pharmacokinetic model,and groups A,B and C corresponded to group Ⅰ,Ⅱand Ⅲ,respectively.In different patient groups based on mutatron types of CYP3A enzymes the females had lower plasma drug concentration-time curves at each time point,higher systemic clearance(P≤0.01)and smaller area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to infinity(P＜0.05)when compared with the males.In addition,in group Ⅰ,the elimination rate of central compartment and movement rate of drug from central compartment to peripheral compartment were obviously greater in the females than the males(P＜0.05),while the distribution half-life(P＜0.05)and elimination half-life(P＜0.01)were notably longer in the males than the females.In both group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ,the males obtained larger total area under the plasma concentration-time curve than the females(P＜0.05).Conclusion There are sex differences in the drug metabolism of sufentanil in Chinese patients.Women show faster distribution and higher clearance of sufentanil while men present greater drug exposure.Preoperative CYP3A genotyping and intraoperative personalized medication are of great significance to ensure the safety in clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the resuscitation efficacy of novel lyophilized platelets(LP,thrombin-stimulated platelets)combined with lactated Ringer's(LR)solution in rabbits with hemorrhagic shock and seawater immersion.Methods Fifty rabbits were randomly assigned to 5 groups(Groups A,B,C,D and E,n=10).After all rabbits were anesthetized with 3%pentobarbital sodium at a dose of 1 mL/kg,soft tissue injury was inflicted in the left lower limb.The blood loss from the soft tissue injury was quantified after gauze hemostasis.The right lower limb was subjected to femoral artery catheterization,followed by blood withdrawal equivalent to 26%of the total blood volume of the rabbit.The rabbits were then vertically immersed in 3%artificial seawater,with the water level reaching above the xiphoid process,and were retrieved in 15 min later.Resuscitation strategies were applied to the rabbits from different group:Group A(no resuscitation),Group B(resuscitation with LR solution),Group C(resuscitation with LR solution and fresh platelets),Group D(resuscitation with LR solution and LP),and Group E(resuscitation with LR solution and novel LP).Coagulation function test,routine blood test,blood gas analysis,and thromboelastography were conducted at baseline and at 1,2 and 4 h after injury.Results The LP and rabbit model of hemorrhagic shock and seawater immersion were successfully prepared.At 1 h after injury,the mean arterial pressure(MAP)of Groups C,D and E(infused with platelet preparations)was significantly higher than that of Group A(without resuscitation,P<0.05);the lactate(Lac)content of Group C was obviously lower than that of Groups A and B(P<0.05);the base excess(BE)and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)levels of Groups C,D and E were notably lower than those of Groups A and B(P<0.05);and the prothrombin time(PT)of Group A was significantly longer than that of before injury(P<0.05).At 2 h after injury,the MAP of Groups C and D was significantly higher than that of Groups A and B,and that of Group E was notably higher than that of Group A(P<0.05);the Lac content of Groups C and E was obviously lower than that of Groups A and B,while that of Group D was also lower than that of Group A(P<0.05);the BE and BUN levels of Groups C,D and E were remarkably lower than those of Groups A and B(P<0.05);the maximum amplitude(MA)value of Group C was higher than that of Group A,while the value of Groups A and D at this time was significantly lower than the corresponding value before injury(P<0.05);and the activated partial clotting time(APTT)of Groups A and D was statistically longer than the corresponding baseline time(P<0.05).At 4 h after injury,the MAP of Groups C,D,and E was higher than that of Groups A and B,and that of Group B was higher than that of Group A(P<0.05);the Lac and BUN levels of Groups C,D,and E were lower than those of Groups A and B(P<0.05);the BE level of Groups C and D were lower than those of Groups A and B(P<0.05);the MA value of Groups B,C,and E were higher than those of Group A(P<0.05),while the MA value and APTT value of Groups A and D were significantly lower than their corresponding baseline values(P<0.05).Conclusion For rabbits with hemorrhagic shock and seawater immersion,the novel LP combined with LR solution can significantly increase the MAP level,reduce Lac content,and sustainably maintain blood clot firmness and coagulation function.

Objective To explore the pharmacokinetic characteristics of sufentanil in individuals with normal body mass index(BMI),overweight BMI,and different CYP3A4/5 enzyme genotypes.Methods The patients receiving laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia in the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from November 2020 to September 2021 were prospectively recruited in this study.Before the operation,the oral swabs were collected from all the patients for genotyping using the human CYP3A4/5 gene kit.Based on the potential impact of combination of their polymorphisms on sufentanil metabolism and the proportion of different genotype combinations of CYP3A4/5 enzymes,the patients were divided into groups I(3A4 homozygous mutation or 3A4 heterozygous mutation+3A5 homozygous mutation),II(3A4 heterozygous mutation+3A5 heterozygous mutation),and III(3A4 wild type or 3A4 heterozygous mutation+3A5 wild type).According to their BMI,they were also assigned into a normal body weight group(18.5～24.0 kg/m2)and an overweight group(24～<28 kg/m2),and the differences in drug metabolism parameters were statistically analyze between the 2 groups.After routine general anesthesia induction(sufentanil 0.5 μg/kg),venous blood samples were collected to detect the changes in its concentration using high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS).The pharmacokinetic data of sufentanil were calculated between the normal BMI group and overweight group in all participants and between the 2 body weight groups among those with different genotype combinations.Results Among the 90 participants completing the blood drug concentration test,8 patients had their blood samples contaminated(including 1 case with an anesthesia duration of<2 h),and 3 were excluded due to low weight or overweight.Eventually,79 participants were included in the pharmacokinetic analysis on the normal body weight group and the overweight group.Compared with the normal body weight group,the central compartment volume of distribution in the overweight group was significantly reduced(P<0.05),while no obvious differences were observed between the 2 groups in terms of peripheral compartment volume of distribution,total clearance rate,peripheral compartment clearance rate,distribution half-life,clearance half-life,and area under the blood concentration-time curve.In group Ⅰ(n=26),the overweight patients(n=13)had significantly reduced central compartment volume of distribution,peripheral compartment volume of distribution,and peripheral compartment clearance rate when compared with the normal body weight patients(n=13)(P<0.05),while no differences were observed in other pharmacokinetic parameters.In groups Ⅱ(n=25)and Ⅲ(n=28),the overweight patients and normal body weight patients had no statistical differences in all pharmacokinetic parameters.Conclusion Among the patients with the same genotype combination of CYP3A4/5 mutations,there was no difference in the metabolism of sufentanil between the overweight and normal weight patients.Additionally,in the population of 3A4 homozygous mutation or 3A4 heterozygous mutation+3A5 homozygous mutation,the overweight patients have smaller peripheral distribution range of sufentanil,and weakened metabolic process.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of endoscopic ligation treatment and endoscopic tissue glue injection for secondary prevention of gastric variceal bleeding.Methods Patients with cirrhosis and esophagogastric variceal bleeding treated with gastric variceal ligation in Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University,from January 2017 to December 2019 were screened(ligation group).And during the same period,patients underwent endoscopic cyanoacrylate treatment were also screened(tissue glue group).59 patients were included in the two groups after propensity score matching.Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to anslyze risk factors for re-bleeding.Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted to analyze re-bleeding rate and mortality of the two treatment groups.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the eradication rate of esophagogastric varices between the ligation group and the tissue glue group(83.05％vs 79.66％,P=0.778);the ligation group required fewer median endoscopic treatments for variceal eradication(2 vs 3,P=0.017)and a lower average dosage of cyanoacrylate(0.70 mL vs 2.67 mL,P＜0.001).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that portal shunt was a risk factor for esophagogastric varices re-bleeding(HR=3.14,95％CI 1.02-9.68,P=0.046),endoscopic variceal ligation was a protective factor against re-bleeding(HR=0.25,95％CI 0.08-0.71,P=0.010).Compared with endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection,endoscopic ligation treatment did not significantly increase the 2-year risk of esophagogastric variceal re-bleeding(18.69％vs 36.29％,P=0.067)or risk of death(1.69％vs 3.39％,P=1.000);patients with GOV1 type had a significantly lower risk of re-bleeding after endoscopic ligation treatment(0 vs 40.27％,P=0.012)and there was a trend towards a lower re-bleeding risk in patients with GOV2 type after endoscopic ligation treatment(13.27％vs 34.16％,P=0.056).Conclusions Endoscopic ligation treatment has higher eradication rate for esophagogastric varices,and does not increase the risk of re-bleeding,death,or other adverse events.Therefore,it can be considered an effective secondary prevention way for patients with gastric varices.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy,safety and economics of romiplostim for treating primary immune thrombocytopenia(ITP)by rapid health technology assessment,and to provide an evidence-based basis for policy makers and clinical practice.Methods PubMed,Cochrane Library,Embase,CNKI,WanFang Data and VIP databases and the official websites of health technology assessment agency were electronically searched to collect high-quality clinical evidence and pharmacoeconomics evaluation literature of romiplostim for the treatment of ITP from inception to January 18,2024.Two researchers independently screened the literature,extracted information,and accessed the quality of included the literature,the extracted results were categorized and evaluated.Results A total of 14 literature were included,in which 8 systematic reviews/Meta-analysis and 6 pharmacoeconomic studies.In terms of efficacy,treatment with romiplostim significantly elevated platelet response rate,sustained platelet response rate,and mean platelet count in patients with ITP compared with placebo(P＜0.05).Romiplostim did not show a significant advantage in elevating patients'platelet response rate and sustained platelet response rate compared with other agents used to treat ITP(P＞0.05).In terms of safety,the incidence of serious adverse events was statistically lower with romiplostim compared to placebo(P＜0.05),while no significant differences were seen in the incidence of adverse events,bleeding events and thrombotic events(P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in the incidence of adverse events,serious adverse events,bleeding events,or thrombotic events when comparing romiplostim to other drugs for the treatment of ITP(P＞0.05).From an economic standpoint,most studies considered eltrombopag to be more economic advantages than romiplostim.Conclusion Romiplostim has good efficacy and safety in the treatment of ITP,and no advantage was shown in terms of economy.

Objective:To evaluate the significance of the lumbar bowstring ratio (LBR) and sagittal spine-pelvis parameters in predicting postoperative neurogenic pain in adult patients with high-grade lumbar isthmic spondylolisthesis following spinal fusion surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and imaging data of 95 adult patients with high-grade lumbar isthmic spondylolisthesis treated by spinal surgery at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from August 2012 to January 2023. Each patient was followed for a minimum of six months. Participants were categorized into pain and non-pain groups based on the presence of persistent radicular pain (≥8 weeks) and a visual analogue scale (VAS) score of ≥3 postoperatively. The pain group comprised 15 patients (5 males, 10 females; mean age 55.47±6.42 years, range 46-71 years), while the non-pain group included 80 patients (20 males, 60 females; mean age 60.98±11.50 years, range 40-85 years). Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and VAS scores. LBR was defined as the ratio of the vertical distance from the anterior convexity of the L 1-L 5 anterior longitudinal ligament to a line connecting the posterior superior margin of the L1 vertebra and the posterior margin of the S1 vertebra, to the distance between these two points. Spinal-pelvic parameters measured included pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), lumbar lordosis (LL), PT/SS ratio, and changes in LBR before and after surgery (ΔLBR). Statistical comparisons of demographic and imaging parameters were performed between the two groups, and variables showing significant differences were subjected to binary logistic regression analysis to identify independent risk factors for postoperative neurogenic pain. Results:All 95 patients achieved complete anatomical reduction of the dislocation without reported wound infections. Follow-up was completed at 7.68±2.98 months (range 6-12 months) postoperatively. Among the patients, 15 developed iatrogenic radicular pain. Postoperative complications included pulmonary infection (4 cases: 1 in the pain group, 3 in the non-pain group), cerebrospinal fluid leakage (8 cases: 2 in the pain group, 6 in the non-pain group), and delirium (5 cases: 2 in the pain group, 3 in the non-pain group). No significant differences were observed in demographic data between the groups ( P>0.05). Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in ODI (pain group Z=-3.413, P=0.001; non-pain group Z=-7.772, P<0.001) and VAS scores (pain group Z=-3.426, P=0.001; non-pain group Z=-7.838, P<0.001) at the 6-month follow-up compared to preoperative values. Significant differences were found between the pain and non-pain groups in PI ( t=3.315, P=0.004), PT ( t=5.087, P<0.001), SS ( t=7.431, P<0.001), LL ( t=3.764, P<0.001), PT/SS ( t=7.267, P<0.001), LBR ( t=6.455, P<0.001), and ΔLBR ( Z=5.362, P<0.001) before and after surgery. Binary logistic regression analysis identified smaller preoperative PT/SS [ OR=0.760, 95% CI(0.601, 0.961), P=0.022] and larger preoperative LBR [ OR=5.721, 95% CI (1.068, 30.634), P=0.042] as independent risk factors for postoperative neurogenic pain. Conclusion:High LBR and reduced PT/SS are significant risk factors for neurogenic pain following complete discectomy and fusion in adult patients with high-grade lumbar isthmic spondylolisthesis. For such patients, careful consideration is warranted regarding anatomical complete reduction during surgical intervention.

Objective To investigate the status quo of pain crisis in advanced lung cancer patients and analyze its influencing factors.Methods From August to November 2023,318 patients with advanced lung cancer were selected from 6 wards of respiratory department of a tertiary A hospital in Zhengzhou.The Numerical Rating Scale,Perceptive Social Support Scale,Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Self-rating Depression Scale were used to investigate the influencing factors of pain crisis in advanced lung cancer patients by Logistic regression.Results Among 318 patients with advanced lung cancer,102 patients had painful crisis,with the incidence rate of 32.08％.0lder age and high level of social support were protective factors for pain crisis,and bone metastasis,anxiety and mild to moderate depression were risk factors for pain crisis.Conclusion The incidence of pain crisis was high in advanced lung cancer patients.Medical staff should pay attention to those with younger age,bone metastasis,low level of social support,high level of anxiety and mild to moderate level of depression,and take timely intervention measures to reduce the occurrence of pain crisis.

OBJECTIVE To explore the material basis and mechanism of expectorant and cough relief effects of the fruits of Phellodendron chinense var. glabriusulum Schneid. METHODS The expectorant and cough relief effects of volatile oil and water decoction of the fruits of P. chinense var. glabriusulum Schneid. were studied by ammonia water cough induction and drug expectorant model mice experiments； GC-MS and UPLC-MS technologies were used to identify its volatile oils and non-volatile components of the fruits of P. chinense var. glabriusulum Schneid. The active ingredients， core targets and pathways of expectoration and cough relief were analyzed by network pharmacology. RESULTS The volatile oil （0.8， 0.2 g/kg， calculated by volatile oil） and water decoction （12， 3 g/kg， calculated by crude drug） of the fruits of P. chinense var. glabriusulum Schneid. both had obvious expectorant and cough relief effects， and showed obvious dose-dependent relationship. A total of 38 volatile oil components were identified from the medicinal herbs， and the relative percentage contents of 8 components were greater than 1%， such as α -pinene， myrcene， β -caryophyllene， germanene D， isospathulenol； a total of 69 non-volatile oil components were identified， mainly including phenolic compounds， alkaloids， and flavonoids. The active ingredients screened from the identified components included 13 compounds such as α-pinene， myrcene， chlorogenic acid， luteolin， berberine. There were a total of 55 intersection targets with diseases， and the core targets were tumor necrosis factor （TNF）， epidermal growth factor receptor （EGFR）， vascular endothelial growth factor A （VEGFA）， serine/threonine kinase proteins （AKT1） and Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）. The molecular docking results showed that the active ingredients and the core targets had good binding ability. GO functional analysis found that the targets were significantly enriched in biological processes such as the reaction affecting lipopolysaccharides， the positive regulation of peptidyl serine phosphorylation， and the positive regulation of the biosynthesis process of nitric oxide. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis found that the targets were significantly enriched in the signaling pathways such as cancer， non-small cell lung cancer， proteoglycans in cancer. CONCLUSIONS Fruits of P. chinense var. glabriusulum Schneid. have obvious expectorant and cough relief effects， and its material basis may be α-pinene， myrcene， chlorogenic acid， luteolin， berberine， etc.， and mainly act on TNF， EGFR， VEGFA， AKT1， TLR4 and its significantly enriched signaling pathway.
