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 understand the related factors of new-type drugs use and high-risk behaviors in online-dating men who have sex with men (MSM) in Shandong Province, and provide evidence for the development of targeted HIV prevention and intervention strategies.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from April to July 2023 in eight sentinel surveillance sites across cities in Shandong, recruiting MSM participants. Each city enrolled a sample of 400 individuals. Face-to-face questionnaire surveys were conducted to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics, drug use and sexual behaviors, risk perception, and online-dating practices of the MSM, and χ2 test was used to compare the differences between online-dating MSM who used new-type drugs and those who didn't use. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the related factors of group sex behavior and the lack of HIV detection before sexual behavior in the online-dating MSM. Statistical analysis was performed by using software SPSS 29.0. Results:A total of 3 235 MSM were surveyed, in whom 2 787 (86.15%) used online-dating platforms to find partners in the past six months. The majority were those who were aged 25-34 years (39.18%, 1 092/2 787), unmarried/divorced/widowed (71.51%, 1 993/2 787), had an education level of college or above (69.36%, 1 933/2 787), and primarily identified as homosexual gays (77.97%, 2 173/2 787), 37.78% (1 053/2 787) believed that they were at low risk for HIV infection and 10.88% (303/2 786) believed that using new-type drugs was less harmful and 57.59% (1 605/2 787) reported new-type drugs use. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that MSM who used new-type drugs had higher risk for group sex in the past six months (a OR=1.31, 95% CI: 1.06-1.63) and sexual activity without pre-HIV testing (a OR=1.57, 95% CI:1.14-2.15) compared with those who didn't use new-type drugs.MSM who believed that the risk of using new-type drugs was general, higher and very high had higher risks for group sex in the past six months (a OR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.09-2.18) and sexual activity withou pre-HIV testing (a OR=2.02, 95% CI:1.34-3.05) compared with those who believed using new-type drugs was less harmful. Conclusions:The use of new-type drugs was relatively common in the online-dating MSM in Shandong, with widespread high-risk behaviors and poor awareness of risks to health. A gap between knowledge awareness and behavior exists. It is necessary to strengthen the health education and promotion of HIV informed dating practices in MSM.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy of distal tibial osteotomy and bone transport in the treatment of infected bone defects at the proximal tibia.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 25 patients with infected bone defects at the proximal tibia who had been treated by distal osteotomy and bone transport at Department of Microprosthetic Surgery, The First Hospital Affiliated to Xinjiang Medical University from May 2015 to June 2023. There were 20 males and 5 females with an age of (45.9±7.1) years. The length of bone defects was (7.5±3.9) cm, the number of operations 3 (2, 4) times, the distance from bone defects to the tibial plateau (4.1±1.9) cm, and the length of bone defects (7.5±3.9) cm. Six patients finished debridement and osteotomy in one operation. Staged surgery was conducted in 19 patients. At first, the original fixator was removed, followed by debridement and injection of the antibiotic bone cement. Next, the bone cement was removed to clean the lesion completely, and then the medullary cavity was penetrated by an electric drill to install an external fixator after flushing. Bone transport started 7 to 10 days later, at a speed of 1 mm/d, and was carried out in 4 times. The healing index, external fixation time, and external fixation index were recorded. The visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, knee range of motion (ROM), and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score were compared between preoperation, 1-month postoperation, and the last follow-up. Fracture healing was evaluated using the Paley criteria, and complications were documented.Results:In this cohort, the healing index was (68.9±35.6) points, the external fixation time 13.0 (8.5, 21.8) months, and the external fixation index (2.43±1.24) points. All patients were followed up for 13.0 (8.5, 21.7) months. The VAS score, knee ROM, and AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score at the last follow-up were significantly improved compared with preoperation and 1-month postoperation ( P<0.05). According to the Paley criteria, fracture healing was excellent in 14, good in 9 and poor in 2 cases, giving an excellent and good rate of 92.0%. The incidences of ankle and knee movement limitations were 92.0% (23/25) and 76.0% (19/25), respectively, being the highest. The incidences of foot drop, clubfoot and claw toe were 68.0% (17/25), 24.0% (6/25) and 20.0% (5/25), respectively. The incidences of pin tract infection and nonunion at the junction were 56.0% (14/25) and 60.0% (15/25), respectively. All these complications were improved by dressing change or surgery. Conclusions:Distal tibial osteotomy and bone transport can effectively treat infected bone defects at the proximal tibia, and the complications during the treatment need to be treated accordingly.

Objective:To evaluate the short-term safety of Nirsevimab injection for preventing respiratory syncytial virus infections in infants through a physician-nurse-pharmacist collaborative model.Methods:This prospective observational study enrolled infants receiving single-dose Nirsevimab at Peking University Third Hospital from September 2024 to August 2025. A multidisciplinary team comprising pediatricians, nurses, pharmacists, and obstetricians was established to develop standardized protocols for medication management, injection procedures, follow-up processes, and safety assessment forms. Descriptive statistics analyzed on-site observations within 30 minutes post-injection and all adverse events, with causality assessment conducted.Results:Among 331 participants [171 males (51.7%), 160 females (48.3%)], 225 (68.0%) received outpatient injections and 106 (32.0%) inpatient injections. Successful administration was achieved in 330 cases (99.7%), including 207 (62.7%) receiving 50 mg/vial and 123 (37.3%) receiving 100 mg/vial formulations; one child (3 years 11 months, 19.0 kg) received two 100 mg doses. During the 30-minute observation, 11 cases (3.3%) experienced adverse events, all presenting as injection site erythema following 100 mg/vial administration, with no systemic or serious adverse events observed. All symptoms resolved spontaneously within 30 minutes. Multidisciplinary review suggested potential associations with insufficient rewarming time, larger injection volumes, or post-injection compression pressure.Conclusion:Nirsevimab demonstrated favorable short-term safety profiles in Chinese infants following single-dose administration, with feasible multidisciplinary standardized protocols, though larger sample sizes and extended follow-up are warranted for monitoring medium-to-long-term safety and special populations.

Objective To explore the application value of quadriceps fat fraction(FF)in the early diagnosis of patellofemoral arthritis(PA).Methods A total of 98 patients were selected for conventional knee MRI examination and IDEAL-IQ sequence imaging.The FFm,FFl and FFt of quadriceps were measured.The patient group[chondromalacia patellae(CMP)(CMP group)and PA group]was compared with normal control(NC)(NC group).The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to assess diag-nostic efficacy.Results FFm,FFl,and FFt in the NC group were significantly lower than those in the patient group(P＜0.001).The FFm and FFl in the PA group were significantly higher than those in the CMP group(P=0.015,P=0.011).Additionally,within both CMP and PA groups,FFl was significantly higher than FFm(P＜0.01).The diagnostic efficacy of FFm was the highest for early PA diagnosis,with an optimal threshold of 8.4％.Conclusion The quadriceps FF can effectively quantify muscle fat infiltration in PA patients,especially in the lateral muscle.An increase in FF value can serve as an early quantitative biomarker for PA,providing sig-nificant reference value for clinical diagnosis and disease progression monitoring.

Infection Prevention and Control(IPC)programs are crucial for prevention of hospital-associated infec-tions(HAIs),health and safety of patients and health care workers.The major task confronting the health care is to effectively carry out the IPC programs so as to raise the efficiency and quality of management of HAIs.In recent years,the rapid development of artificial intelligence(AI)technology has provided new ideas for the management of HAIs.The application and progress of research on application of AI technologies such as machine learning,nat-ural language processing and computer vision in surveillance,early warning,diagnosis,prevention and control,smart medical equipment and management of antibiotics were reviewed in the article.Meanwhile,the problems and challenges confronting the AI application,such as technical breakthroughs,data privacy and health care work-ers' acceptance,were also expounded.In the future,it is necessary to push forward the technology research and development,establish the safe and reliable data management system,increase the experience of health care work-ers and energize the interdisciplinary cooperation on IPC.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of training physicians from secondary comprehensive hospitals in the clinical assessment of brain death and to provide recommendations for nationwide implementation.Methods:This prospective cohort study enrolled physicians who completed standardized training in clinical brain death determination at five pilot hospitals between June and December 2023. Participants were from internal medicine, neurology, critical care, emergency, or anesthesiology departments of secondary comprehensive hospitals and had ≥5 years of clinical experience. Organ donation coordinators and surgeons involved in organ donation or transplantation were excluded. The training program comprised four modules: didactic lectures, bedside demonstrations, simulation-based practice, and written theoretical assessment with review. The theoretical assessment was considered qualified if the score was 60 or above. Participants were categorized into ≥80 and <80 groups based on assessment scores. Between-group comparisons were conducted using rank-sum or chi-square tests.Results:A total of 191 physicians from 74 secondary comprehensive hospitals were enrolled. Most held a bachelor's degree [89.5%(171/191)] and had intermediate [47.1%(90/191)] or associate senior [36.1%(69/191)] professional titles; [59.7%(114/191)] were from non-neurology specialties. The overall pass rate was 99.5% (190/191), with a mean score of 82.4±7.1. Compared with those scoring<80 (56 participants), physicians scoring ≥80 (135 participants) differed significantly by professional title, province, and department ( P=0.014, 0.019 and 0.039). The proportion scoring<80 was higher among junior/intermediate versus senior titles [38.0%(41/108) vs 18.1%(15/83), P=0.003), and among non-neurology/critical care departments (emergency, internal medicine, anesthesiology) versus neurology/critical care [39.7%(31/78) vs 22.1%(25/113), P=0.009]. Only 2.09%(4/191) achieved a perfect score. Across all test items, the overall error rate was 14.99%(700/4 670). The five knowledge points with the highest error rates were mistriggering of mechanical ventilation [96.97%(32/33)], corneal reflex [42.25%(30/71)], spinal reflexes [24.25%(65/268)], documentation of the determination [21.21%(7/33)], and the apnea test procedure [20.73%(57/275)]. Conclusions:The pilot hospitals can effectively deliver clinical training for brain death determination, supporting nationwide promotion. However, physicians' theoretical grounding in neurology at secondary comprehensive hospitals appears relatively weak. Training curricula should be optimized to further improve training quality.
