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.

Objective:To investigate the effect of curcumin on blood glucose levels in pregnant women at high risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus(GDM).Methods:One hundred and twenty-four pregnant women with high-risk factors for GDM were included in a cross-sectional study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.After undergoing an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test,participants were divided into the GDM group(n=61)and the non-GDM group(n=63).Subsequently,a randomized controlled trial was performed to compare Fasting Plasma Glucose(FPG)levels between the control group(n=8)and the intervention group(n=8).Results:The cross-sectional study revealed that the GDM group had significantly higher rates of pre-pregnancy BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2,early pregnancy HbA1c≥5.7%,impaired fasting glucose or glucose tolerance,and lack of exercise compared to the non-GDM group(P<0.05).FPG levels in the GDM group were significantly higher than those in the non-GDM group at all stages of pregnancy.Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that the impact of high-risk factors on FPG gradually diminished as pregnancy progressed.In the randomized controlled experiment,all cases in the control group developed GDM;one case in the curcumin intervention group did not,whose intervention time was the earliest and longest.Pearson correlation analysis indicated a positive correlation between the duration of curcumin intervention and changes in FPG values,although the correlation was not statistically significant(P>0.05).By the descriptive statistical analysis,within-group comparisons showed no significant differences in the median and percentiles of FPG values between the control group in late pregnancy and early pregnancy.However,the median and percentiles of FPG values were significantly lower post-intervention compared to curcumin pre-intervention.Between-group comparisons revealed that the mean FPG in the curcumin intervention group decreased significantly more than in the control group.These results suggested that curcumin might have a potential impact on FPG.No significant differences were observed in neonatal outcomes between the curcumin intervention and control groups.Conclusions:Pregnant women with high risk factors for GDM should be paid enough attention in clinical practice.All these results have demonstrated that curcumin has a positive regulatory effect on FPG in patients with GDM,which may provide a new adjunctive method for the treatment of GDM.

Objective:To investigate the current status of the implementation of home-based phototherapy (HBPT) in patients with vitiligo, and to analyze management needs among patients receiving HBPT.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted on the application of HBPT among patients with vitiligo who visited the outpatient clinic of the Hospital for Skin Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from December 2021 to November 2022. Additionally, the popularization and usage of HBPT as well as needs of patient management were investigated and analyzed in these vitiligo patients.Results:A total of 496 valid questionnaires were collected from 496 patients with vitiligo (241 males [48.5%] and 255 females [51.5%]) . Their ages at visit ranged from 2 to 67 (30.87 ± 12.36) years. The most commonly affected sites were the head and face (52.2%) , followed by hair (32.1%) , hands and feet (31.4%) , trunk (30.2%) , limbs (24.3%) , neck (19.5%) , and perineum (9.9%) . Among the participants, 320 (64.5%) were currently using or had used HBPT, and 352 (70.8%) expressed a willingness to learn more about HBPT usage guidelines and health education. Regarding the repigmentation outcomes after HBPT: among 312 patients, 54 (17.3%) reported complete recovery, 64 (20.5%) were markedly improved, 142 (45.5%) experienced improvement, and 52 (16.7%) showed no response. Adverse reactions occurred in 223 patients (71.5%) , of whom 28 (9.0%) experienced severe adverse reactions. The most desired guiding information was the adjustment method for phototherapy dosage and treatment duration (184/352, 52.3%) ; the most effective way to receive health education information was through verbal education by medical staff (177/352, 50.3%) .Conclusion:For vitiligo patients who were willing to accept and use HBPT, the most desired guiding information was the adjustment method for phototherapy dosage and treatment duration, and verbal health education by medical staff appeared to be the main way to obtain health education information.
