The present study aimed to establish an LC-MS/MS method for the quantification of tiamulin in minipig plasma and to further conduct a pharmacokinetic comparison of different formulations. The plasma samples were extracted with acetonitrile (meloxicam as internal standard), separated on a C18 column, and quantified by multiple reaction monitoring mode (ESI+). Sanyuan minipigs were used as experimental animals. Plasma samples were collected after intravenous injection (10 mg/kg) and intragastric administration (20 mg/kg). The method showed good linearity, with intra- and inter-batch RSD of 1.00%–8.13% and RE within ±15%. The extraction recovery, matrix effect and stability of the analytical methods met the relevant requirements. Tiamulin fumarate active pharmaceutical ingredient was intravenously administered, with c0 of about (4383.73±2676.78) ng/mL, AUC0-t of about (4803.50±965.68) h·ng/mL, t1/2 of about (4.66±1.68) h, and CL of about (2.14±0.46) L/(kg·h). Three tiamulin formulations were intragastrically administered, with cmax of (552.00±328.55), (545.00±136.97) and (590.60±237.02) ng/mL, tmax of (1.47±0.68), (0.69±0.75) and (0.72±0.72) h, and F of 24.85%, 15.28% and 16.97%, respectively. The validated method meets the requirements for biological sample analysis and is applicable for the pharmacokinetic evaluation of tiamulin formulations in minipigs.

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.

Enamel demineralization, the formation of white spot lesions, is a common issue in clinical orthodontic treatment. The appearance of white spot lesions not only affects the texture and health of dental hard tissues but also impacts the health and aesthetics of teeth after orthodontic treatment. The prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of white spot lesions that occur throughout the orthodontic treatment process involve multiple dental specialties. This expert consensus will focus on providing guiding opinions on the management and prevention of white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment, advocating for proactive prevention, early detection, timely treatment, scientific follow-up, and multidisciplinary management of white spot lesions throughout the orthodontic process, thereby maintaining the dental health of patients during orthodontic treatment.

This study aims to reveal the effect and mechanism of Gentianella turkestanorum total extract(GTI) in ameliorating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH). UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was employed to identify the chemical components in GTI. SwissTarget-Prediction, GeneCards, OMIM, and TTD were utilized to screen the targets of GTI components and NASH. The common targets shared by GTI components and NASH were filtered through the STRING database and Cytoscape 3.9.0 to identify core targets, followed by GO and KEGG enrichment analysis. AutoDock was used for molecular docking of key components with core targets. A mouse model of NASH was established with a methionine-choline-deficient high-fat diet. A 4-week drug intervention was conducted, during which mouse weight was monitored, and the liver-to-brain ratio was measured at the end. Hematoxylin-eosin staining, Sirius red staining, and oil red O staining were employed to observe the pathological changes in the liver tissue. The levels of various biomarkers, including aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), hydroxyproline(HYP), total cholesterol(TC), triglycerides(TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), malondialdehyde(MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD), and glutathione(GSH), in the serum and liver tissue were determined. RT-qPCR was conducted to measure the mRNA levels of interleukin 1β(IL-1β), interleukin 6(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α), collagen type I α1 chain(COL1A1), and α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA). Western blotting was conducted to determine the protein levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and potential drug targets identified through network pharmacology. UPLC-Q-TOF/MS identified 581 chemical components of GTI, and 534 targets of GTI and 1 157 targets of NASH were screened out. The topological analysis of the common targets shared by GTI and NASH identified core targets such as IL-1β, IL-6, protein kinase B(AKT), TNF, and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma(PPARG). GO and KEGG analyses indicated that the ameliorating effect of GTI on NASH was related to inflammatory responses and the phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/AKT pathway. The staining results demonstrated that GTI ameliorated hepatocyte vacuolation, swelling, ballooning, and lipid accumulation in NASH mice. Compared with the model group, high doses of GTI reduced the AST, ALT, HYP, TC, and TG levels(P<0.01) while increasing the HDL-C, SOD, and GSH levels(P<0.01). RT-qPCR results showed that GTI down-regulated the mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, COL1A1, and α-SMA(P<0.01). Western blot results indicated that GTI down-regulated the protein levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, phosphorylated PI3K(p-PI3K), phosphorylated AKT(p-AKT), phosphorylated inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B alpha(p-IκBα), and nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB)(P<0.01). In summary, GTI ameliorates inflammation, dyslipidemia, and oxidative stress associated with NASH by regulating the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway.

In view of the few studies on the influence of Armillaria spp. infection on the content of the chemical components in different parts of Polyporus umbellatus sclerotia, this study determined the biomass of P. umbellatus sclerotia and the contents of ergosterol, polyporusterone A, polyporusterone B and polysaccharide in the separated cavity wall of the sclerotia and the uninfected part of the sclerotia in different harvesting years under the conditions of A. gallica and A. mellea infection respectively. According to the difference of content and dynamic changes of the polysaccharide and the steroid substances, the superior Armillaria sp. was screened to obtain the best harvest years of P. umbellatus. Using HPLC and UV-VIS spectrophotometry methods, the contents of ergosterol, polyporusterone A, polyporusterone B and polysaccharide in P. umbellatus sclerotia infected by the two Armillaria spp. in different years were determined. In addition, the differentially expressed genes related to P. umbellatus polysaccharide synthesis were screened according to the transcriptomic data of different parts of P. umbellatus after A. mellea infection. With the increase of years, the biomass of sclerotia infected by different Armillaria spp. had significant differences, and there were significant differences in the four components of sclerotia. The four components of the separated cavity wall of the sclerotia were significantly higher than those of the uninfected part. The best harvest time was the third year after cultivation. Transcriptomic analysis showed that the infection of Armillaria spp. could significantly promote polysaccharide synthesis, which provided a basis for polysaccharide content determination at the molecular level. The study clarified the influence of different Armillaria spp. infection on the accumulation of chemical components of P. umbellatus sclerotia, laying a foundation for exploring the symbiosis mechanism and provided a scientific clue for screening superior Armillaria sp. and guiding the artificial cultivation of P. umbellatus sclerotia.

ObjectiveTo understand the distribution of enrofloxacin (ENR) residues in freshwater fish, to evaluate the dietary exposure risk to ENR for consumers through the consumption of different freshwater fish in Shanghai, and to provide a reference for controlling antibiotic residues in freshwater fish. MethodsGrass carp, Wuchang bream, pond loach, and Asian swamp eels were purchased from the markets in Shanghai. After being fed with ENR, the fish were divided into 42 batches according to their species and weight, and thereafter ENR residues in the muscles and skin of the fish were measured. In addition, a total of 44 batches of Wuchang bream, pond loach, Asian swamp eels were purchased from the markets, and the ENR residues in the muscles with or without the fish skin were measured, and the exposure risk was evaluated. ResultsThe average residues of ENR in skin of the freshwater fish after being fed with drugs in the 42 groups were higher than those in muscles (M=659.38 μg·kg^-1, M=460.83 μg·kg^-1; z=-2.212, P=0.027). The over-standard rates of ENR residues in the muscles with or without skin 44 batches of freshwater fish of sold in Shanghai were 36.36% and 29.55%, respectively. The median exposure, P₉₅ exposure, and maximum exposure to ENR through the consumption of the muscles with the skin for adults and children in Shanghai were higher than those through the consumption of muscles without the skin. For children, the margin of safety (MOS) for the max exposure to ENR by consuming the muscles with the skin was more than 1, while the MOS was less than 1 in all other cases for both children and adults. ConclusionThe ENR residues in the skin of freshwater fish are generally higher than those in the muscles. The risk of ENR residues in freshwater fish sold in Shanghai is within a controllable range. However, there might be a certain risk of acute exposure to ENR for children by consuming muscles with the skin of freshwater fish.

Objective:To characterize the epidemiology, antimicrobial susceptibility, and molecular mechanisms of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) carrying multiple carbapenemase genes in China, and to provide evidence for infection control and antibiotic stewardship.Methods:From 2016 to 2023, 115 CRE isolates harboring at least two carbapenemase genes were collected from 41 hospitals in 18 provinces across China. Species identification, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and whole-genome sequencing were performed. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and capsular typing were conducted using Kleborate, plasmid replicon types were identified with PlasmidFinder, and a core genome phylogenetic tree was constructed.Results:The majority of isolates belonged to Klebsiella spp. (80.0%, 92/115), followed by E. cloacae (8.7%, 10/115) and E. coli (6.1%, 7/115). The isolates were mainly from Hebei, Beijing, Shandong, and Hunan (60.9%, 70/115), and sputum was the predominant specimen (43.5%, 50/115). The most common genotype was bla KPC+bla NDM (73.0%, 84/115), primarily in Klebsiella spp. (79.8%, 67/84), followed by bla NDM+bla IMP (15.7%, 18/115). The prevalent plasmid replicon types were IncFII (77.5%, 86/111), IncFIB (68.5%, 76/111), IncR (51.4%, 57/111), and IncX3 (20.7%, 23/111). Notably, 88.6% (31/35) of ST11-KL64 K. pneumoniae strains co-harbored IncFII, IncFIB, and IncR plasmids simultaneously. Between 2016 and 2022, the dominant subtype among Klebsiella spp. isolates was bla KPC-2+bla NDM-1 (56.2%, 36/64). In 2023, the bla KPC-2+bla NDM-13 subtype (29.5%, 19/64) emerged and exhibited clonal transmission (single nucleotide polymorphism 2?74 bp) in Hebei, Beijing, and Jilin. Susceptibility testing showed widespread resistance to β-lactams (90.2%-100%). Aztreonam-avibactam, tigecycline, and colistin retained high activity, with susceptibility rates of 90.16%-98.36%. Conclusions:In China, the majority of clinical Enterobacteriaceae strains that harbor multiple carbapenemases are Klebsiella spp. co-producing KPC and NDM enzymes. Dissemination is driven by both clonal expansion of ST11-KL64 and horizontal transfer of IncFII, IncFIB, and IncR plasmids. The recent emergence and regional clonal spread of the bla KPC-2+bla NDM-13 genotype underscore the urgent need for strengthened surveillance and containment measures.

Objective:To observe the changes of central visual acuity and extracentral visual acuity in eyes with non-arteritic central retinal artery occlusion (NA-CRAO).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2024, 140 patients (140 eyes) diagnosed with NA-CRAO through ophthalmic examination at Department of Ophthalmology of First People's Hospital of Xianyang City were included in the study. All affected eyes underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), visual field, intraocular pressure, fundus color photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fluorescein angiography (FFA) examinations. After a clear diagnosis, conservative treatment such as reducing intraocular pressure, relieving spasms, and dilating blood vessels should be given immediately. Simultaneously, intravenous and/or arterial thrombolysis therapy should be administered based on the patient's overall condition. Under the same treatment conditions as other treatments, 33 eyes were treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy within 24 hours after seeking medical attention. The changes in central visual acuity (BCVA) and peripheral visual acuity of the affected eye one month after treatment were observed. BCVA improvement of ≥ 1 line was defined as the increase of no light sensitivity to light sensitivity or above, and the increase of light sensitivity to 0.01 or above. The visual acuity outside the center was determined by the 0 ° axis in front of the eyeball at eye level, and was 10 ° outside visual acuity on the temporal side. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression analysis.Results:Among the 140 cases (140 eyes), there were 84 males (84 eyes) and 56 females (56 eyes). The mean age was (63.89±10.78) years. The duration of illness from the onset of symptoms to the time of diagnosis was 48 (2-720) hours. 6, 1, 14, 47, 41, 16, and 15 eyes were diagnosed with BCVA without light perception, uncertain light perception, manual/anterior, digital/anterior, 0.01-0.10, and ≥ 0.10, respectively. FFA examination revealed delayed arm retinal circulation time and filling of the retinal artery trunk to the peak, with changes in the "arterial front" observed in 126 eyes. OCT examination showed extensive edema and unclear structure in the inner layer of the retina in all patients. Out of 140 eyes, 122 were treated with intravenous thrombolysis and 4 with arterial thrombolysis; 14 eyes did not receive thrombolytic therapy. After treatment, 38 eyes (27.1 %) showed an improvement of BCVA ≥ 1; 67 eyes (47.9%) did not show an improvement in BCVA, and the affected eye had a BCVA of approximately 0.6 without light perception; 17 eyes (12.1 %) showed improvement in peripheral vision, and the peripheral vision of the affected eyes ranged from 0.01 to 0.1, all of whom were patients undergoing intravenous thrombolysis, and prior to treatment, this group of patients had complete blindness in the coarse side visual field of the Amsler grid, and their out of center visual acuity could not be measured. Among the 33 eyes treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, 24 eyes (72.7%) showed an increase in BCVA after treatment; 9 eyes did not improve, among which 4 eyes (12.1%) showed improvement in out of center visual acuity. Among the 107 eyes that did not receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy, 49 eyes (45.8%) showed an increase in BCVA after treatment. There was no improvement in 58 eyes (54.2%), among which 13 eyes (12.1%) showed an improvement in out of center visual acuity. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that intravenous thrombolysis and hyperbaric oxygen therapy were independent predictive factors for the improvement of central and extra central visual acuity ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Hyperbaric oxygen therapy within 24 hours of seeking medical attention for patients with NA-CRAO disease course ≤ 1 month has a significant effect on the recovery of central and extra central vision. Intravenous thrombolysis and hyperbaric oxygen therapy are independent predictive factors for the improvement of central and extra central vision.
