OBJECTIVE To provide references and suggestions for the establishment of medication management in care transitions in China. METHODS This study systematically reviewed the medication management in care transitions led by pharmacists in the United States， summarized the clinical practice evidence of its service system， personnel configuration， development bottlenecks and effect benefits， and explored the suggestions for optimizing the work in China. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The United States medication management in care transitions is characterized by standardized workflows and precision interventions. It focuses on the treatment continuity period when patients transition across institutions and stages， establishing a pharmacist-led， multidisciplinary collaborative monitoring system. Empirical studies confirm its effectiveness in reducing medication errors， lowering healthcare costs， and improving patient satisfaction. The United States model has achieved professionalization and standardization. Adapting its successful experiences as well as combining our local situation can establish a pharmacist-led medication management framework in care transitions through four key dimensions： role definition， training mechanisms， standardized protocols， and evaluation metrics， and improve the further development of pharmaceutical care services.

Tripartite motif-containing (TRIM) family proteins are crucial E3 ubiquitin ligases that have garnered significant attention for their regulatory roles in bone metabolism in recent years. This article reviews the function and regulatory mechanisms of TRIM family proteins in bone metabolism, focusing on their dual roles in bone formation and resorption. It also provides a detailed analysis of signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms by which TRIM family members regulate the activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Research findings suggest that modulating the expression or activity of TRIM family proteins could be beneficial for treating bone diseases such as osteoporosis. This review highlights the molecular mechanisms of TRIM family members in bone physiology and pathology, aiming to provide theoretical basis and scientific guidance for developing novel therapeutic strategies for bone diseases.

By employing the analytic hierarchy process(AHP), the CRITIC method(a weight determination method based on indicator correlations), and the AHP-CRITIC hybrid weighting method, the weight coefficients of evaluation indicators were determined, followed by a comprehensive score comparison. The grey correlation analysis was then performed to analyze the results calculated using the hybrid weighting method. Subsequently, a backpropagation-artificial neural network(BP-ANN) model was constructed to predict the extraction process parameters and optimize the extraction process for Shenxiong Huanglian Jiedu Granules(SHJG). In the extraction process, an L_9(3~4) orthogonal experiment was designed to optimize three factors at three levels, including extraction frequency, water addition amount, and extraction time. The evaluation indicators included geniposide, berberine, ginsenoside Rg_1 + Re, ginsenoside Rb_1, ferulic acid, and extract yield. Finally, the optimal extraction results obtained by the orthogonal experiment, grey correlation analysis, and BP-ANN method were compared, and validation experiments were conducted. The results showed that the optimal extraction process involved two rounds of aqueous extraction, each lasting one hour; the first extraction used ten times the amount of added water, while the second extraction used eight times the amount. In the validation experiments, the average content of each indicator component was higher than the average content obtained in the orthogonal experiment, with a higher comprehensive score. The optimized extraction process parameters were reliable and stable, making them suitable for subsequent preparation process research.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of sutureless approach to the dorsal venous complex (DVC) combined with robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy on sexual function of patients with prostatic cancer. METHODS: This study included 114 prostate cancer patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy at our hospital from January 2021 to January 2024. The patients were randomly divided into a control group (n=57) and an observation group (n=57). The control group received conventional "figure-of-eight" suture ligation of the dorsal venous complex (DVC), while the observation group underwent direct DVC transection using monopolar electrocautery scissors after increasing pneumoperitoneum pressure.Surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, positive surgical margin rates, and positive apical margin rates were recorded. The continence rates and rates of morning erections at 1, 3 and 6 months after the operation were compared between groups. Sexual function was assessed pre-operatively and at 6 months post-operation by using the IIEF-5 and PEDT. RESULTS: The operative time in the observation group was significantly longer than that in the control group (［115.71 ± 19.42］ min vs ［103.42 ± 12.78］ min， P<0.05). While no significant differences were observed in intraoperative blood loss, positive surgical margin rate, or positive apical margin rate between the two groups (P>0.05). At 3 and 6 months after the operation, the observation group exhibited higher urinary continence rates and morning erection recovery rates compared to the control group （P<0.05). Furthermore, at 6 months postoperatively, the observation group demonstrated significantly higher IIEF-5 scores and lower PEDT scores than those of control group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION The use of a sutureless DVC technique in robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy protects the post-operative sexual function in patients.
