RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS ：The formulation and release of the New Plan marks the beginning of a new round of reform of the clinical pharmacist teacher training program of the Chinese Hospital Association. It is mainly based on the actual problems encountered in the operation of the current clinical pharmacist teacher training system ，the importance of clinical pharmacistteacher training itself ，and the opportunities and challenges that the development of the times has brought to our country ’s 163.com clinical pharmacy business. Research foundation ， problem orientation and professional demonstration present important characteristics. Compared with the old plan ，the New Plan adds a substantive selection mechanism for majors ，which intends to achieve the necessary “strictness”in the enrollment process ；it reconstructs the overall training goal of the benchmarking project and the three-in-one assessment system ，which intends to achieve a reasonable “lax”of assessment link ；it removes restrictions on off-site training ，advocates wide-ranging professional docking，and improves the flexibility of the training system and process management. The implementation of the New Plan is a complex work involving multiple parties and is affected by many factors. It requires multiple teams to perform their duties and promote together. The teacher training base and expert team must understand the spirit of reform and achieve the stable implementation of the New Plan ；at the same time ，the communication between the project working group and the teaching base and experts should be strengthened ，and finally realize the original intention of the reform of cultivating more high-quality clinical pharmacy teachers.

Objective:To construct a simple, precise and personalized comprehensive nomogram for prediction the risk of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and to evaluate its prediction value among individuals with previous tuberculosis history (PTBH).Methods:A matched case-control study (1∶2 ratios) was performed in 1 881 patients with PTBH treated in 12 designated tuberculosis hospitals in Hangzhou City between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2019, and there were 1 719 patients in training set, and 162 in validation set. A multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate independent predictors for the incident of MDR-TB in individuals with PTBH. A comprehensive nomogram was developed based on the multivariable Cox model. The accuracy of the prediction was assessed using concordance index (C-index), calibration curve and area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The nomogram constructed based on the multivariable Cox regression model incorporated 10 independent predictors of the risk of MDR-TB. A history of direct contact (grade 1, 0-100.0 points) ranked on the top of all risk factors, followed by duration of positive sputum culture (grade 2, 0-84.5 points), unfavorable treatment outcome (grade 3, 0-52.0 points), human immunodeficiency virus infection (grade 4, 0-48.5 points), retreated tuberculosis history (grade 5, 0-40.0 points), non-standardized treatment regimens of retreated tuberculosis (grade 6, 0-32.5 points), duration of pulmonary cavities (grade 7, 0-31.0 points), passive mode of tuberculosis case finding (grade 8, 0-25.0 points), age<60 years (grade 9, 0-17.5 points), and standard frequencies of chest X-ray examination (grade 10, 0-14.0 points). The C-indexes of this nomogram for the training and validation sets were 0.833 (95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.807-0.859) and 0.871 (95% CI 0.773-0.969), respectively, indicating that the nomogram had good fitting effect. The calibration curves for the risk of incident MDR-TB showed an optimal agreement between nomogram prediction and actual observation in the training and validation sets, respectively.The areas under ROC curve of the 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year MDR-TB risk probability of the training set were 0.904, 0.921, and 0.908, respectively, and those of the validation set were 0.954, 0.970, and 0.919, respectively. Conclusion:Through this nomogram model, clinicians could precisely predict the risk of incident MDR-TB among individuals with PTBH in the clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of Eph-receptor tyrosinekinase-type A2 (EphA2) gene polymorphisms with susceptibility to age-related cataract (ARC) among ethnic Han Chinese from Hubei Province. METHODS: 280 patients with cortical ARC and 200 healthy controls were recruited. Polymorphisms at four loci (rs3768293, rs3754334, rs477558 and rs7548209) of the EphA2 gene were detected by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RELP) assay. Allelic and genotypic frequencies of the two groups were compared. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the AA genotype of rs3768293 locus was more common, while the AC genotype was much rarer (P< 0.05). No significant difference was found in allelic and genotypic frequencies of rs3754334 locus between the two groups (P> 0.05). The AA genotype of the rs477558 locus was more common in the patient group, while the AG genotype was much rarer (P< 0.05). The genotype GG of the rs7548209 locus was more common in the patient group, while the CG genotype was rarer (P< 0.05), though no significant difference in allelic or haplotypic frequencies between the two groups (P> 0.05). CONCLUSION Polymorphisms of rs477558, rs7548209 and rs3768293 loci of the EphA2 gene are associated with susceptibility to ARC among ethnic Han Chinese from Hubei province.

OBJECTIVE： To systematically evaluate effectiveness and safety of single antiplatelet therapy （SAPT） versus dual antiplatelet therapy （DAPT） on short-term complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation （TAVI）， and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS： Retrieved from PubMed， Cochrane clinical controlled trials registry， Web of Science， CNKI， Wanfang database， CBM and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry， RCTs and observational studies about effectiveness （all-cause mortality， incidence of stroke and incidence of myocardial infarction 30 days after operation） and safety （the incidence of bleeding events at 30 days after operation） of SAPT versus DAPT on short-term complications of TAVI were collected during the date of database establishment to Jan. 2019. After data extraction of included studies and quality evaluation with Cochrane system evaluator manual 5.1.0 （for RCT） and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale （NOS） （for observational studies）， Meta-analysis was conducted by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software. RESULTS： Totally 3 RCTs and 7 cohort studies were included， involving 3 188 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of all-cause mortality 30 days after operation [OR＝0.48， 95％ CI （0.32， 0.73）， P＜0.001] and the incidence of bleeding events 30 days after operation [OR＝0.43， 95％CI （0.30， 0.59）， P＜0.001] in SAPT group were significantly lower than DAPT group， with statistical significance. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of stroke 30 days after operation [OR＝0.63， 95％CI （0.38， 1.06） ， P＝0.08] or the incidence of myocardial infarction 30 days after operation [OR＝1.09， 95％CI （0.46， 2.59）， P＝0.85] between 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS： Compared with DAPT， SAPT can decrease the incidence of all-cause mortality 30 days after TAVI and the incidence of bleeding events 30 days after TAVI.

OBJECTIVE： To systematically evaluate the effects of dual-antiplatelet medication time on efficacy and safety of postoperative complications after transcatheter aortic valve implantation （TAVI）， and to provide evidence-based reference for the formulation of antiplatelet therapy after TAVI. METHODS： Retrieved from Cochrane clinical controlled trial registration center， PubMed， Embase， Web of Science， Wanfang database and CJFD， during database establishment to Feb. 2019， RCTs and observational study about efficacy （all-cause mortality and incidence of stroke） and  safety （the incidence of major bleeding events） the effects of dual-antiplatelet therapy for postoperative complications after TAVI at different time points were collected. After data extraction of clinical studies met inclusion criteria， quality evaluation with Cochrane bias risk evaluation tool 5.1.0 （for RCT） or Newcastle- Ottawa Scale （for observational study）， Meta-analysis was conducted by using Rev Man 5.3 and Stata 14.0 statistical software. Meta-regression analysis was also conducted for outcome and different treatment duration. RESULTS： A total of 3 RCTs and 10 observational studies were included， involving 2 868 patients. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of all-cause mortality one month and 6 months after medication were 0.05 [95％CI （0.03， 0.07）， P＜0.001] and 0.07 [95％CI （0.05， 0.08）， P＜0.001]. The incidence of major bleeding events 1， 3 and 6 months after medication were 0.14 [95％CI （0.08，0.19）， P＜0.001]， 0.11 [95％CI （0.03， 0.19）， P＝0.007] and 0.13 [95％CI （0.05， 0.22）， P＝0.002]. The incidence of stroke after one month after medication was 0.04 [95％CI （0.03， 0.05）， P＜0.001]. Results of Meta-regression analysis showed that the all-caused mortality [regression coefficient＝0.005 7， 95％CI （－0.001 6， 0.013 0）， P＝0.116]， major bleeding [regression coefficient＝－0.000 5，95％CI（－0.022 4，0.021 4）， P＝0.959] or the incidence of stroke [regression coefficient＝0.001 4， 95％CI （－0.003 8， 0.006 5）， P＝0.570] were not related to medication duration of dual-antiplatelet therapy.  CONCLUSIONS： The prolongation of the medication time of the dual-antiplatelet therapy has no significant effect on the efficacy and safety of TAVI.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence and relevant influencing factors of gynecological diseases of grassroot level female medical staffs. METHODS: A total of 2 308 female medical workers from county, town and village in hengxian County of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region were selected as study subjects by cluster sampling method. The basic information, occupational history, reproductive health and fertility of these subjects were investigated by Reproducetive Health Survey Questionnaine of Female Workers. RESULTS: The total prevalence of gynecological diseases in female medical staffs was 21.6%. Among them, the prevalence of genital tract infections was 15.6%, and gynecological tumors was 6.0%. The top three gynecologic diseases were vaginitis(9.2%), uterine fibroids(4.3%) and cervicitis(3.5%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results indicated that the younger the patients, the higher the risk of reproductive tract infectious diseases(P<0.01), and the lower the risk of gynecological tumors(P<0.01). The risk of reproductive tract infectious diseases and gynecological tumors in married patients was higher than that in unmarried staffs(P<0.05). The higher the number of abortions, the higher the risk of reproductive tract infectious diseases and gynecological tumors(P<0.01). The risk of reproductive tract infectious diseases was higher and the risk of gynecological tumors was lower in female shift workers than that of non-shift workers(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Vaginitis, uterine fibroids and cervicitis are the main gynecological diseases in grassroot level female medical staffs. The incidence of gynecological diseases is related to age, history of marriage, childbirth and abortion, and work-shifts.

Objective To analyze the correlation between clinical features and renal dysfunction in patients of acute lacunar infarction with progressive cerebral microbleeds (CMBs). Methods Two hundred and sixty-five patients with first-episode acute lacunar infarction were selected. The serum creatinine was measured within 24 h of admission and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated. The brain MRI (including gradient-echo images) was examined within 2 d of admission and after 1 years of follow-up, respectively. The progressive CMBs was assessed with microbleeds anatomical rating scale (MARS), and the patients were divided into progressive CMBs group (progressive group, 42 cases) and non progressive CMBs group (non progressive group, 223 cases). The clinical features of 2 groups were compared and the correlation between progressive CMBs and renal dysfunction was analyzed. Results The age, 24 h pulse pressure, incidences of renal dysfunction and CMBs in progressive group were significantly higher than those in non progressive group: (69.8 ± 5.8) years vs. (61.5 ± 4.9) years, (63.3 ± 3.1) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (51.8 ± 4.2) mmHg, 69.0％(29/42) vs. 39.9％(89/223) and 57.1％(24/42) vs. 25.1％(56/223), and the platelet was significantly lower than that in non-progression group:(168 ± 35) ×109/L vs. (189 ± 40) ×109/L, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05 or<0.01). The Logistic regression analysis result showed that renal dysfunction and CMBs were Independent risk factors of progressive CMBs (OR = 1.571 and 1.054, 95％ CI 1.042 - 2.493 and 1.010 - 1.142, P<0.05). Conclusions The rate of renal dysfunction is higher in patients of acute lacunar infarction with progressive CMBs, and progressive CMBs are associated with renal dysfunction.

Objective To compare the clinical characteristics,and outcomes of patients with heart failure with different left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF).Methods A total of 1 182 hospitalized patients with heart failure (HF) were enrolled and retrospectively studied in the present study.The patients were stratified by LVEF as reduced (HFrEF,LVEF ＜ 40％,n =313),mid-range (HFmrEF,40％ ≤ LVEF ＜50％,n =287) and preserved (HFpEF,LVEF≥50％,n =582) ejection fraction groups.Among the 1 182 cases,941 of them (81.3％,84.9％,and 84.0％ inHFrEF,HFmrEF and HFpEF groups,respectively) were followed up for an median duration of 27.3 months.Results (1) Among the study patients,26.5％ were in HFrEF,24.3％ in HFmrEF,and 49.2％ in HFpEF groups.(2) Ischemic heart disease with HFmrEF was more frequent than that in patients with HFrEF.The average age,percentage of female subjects,systolic blood pressure,uric acid,N terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP),hemoglobin,and the incidence of hypertensive heart disease,anemia,atrial fibrillation in patients with HFmrEF were higher than those in patients with HFrEF,but lower than those in patients with HFpEF (all P ＜0.01).(3) The all-cause cumulative mortality was 10.8％ at 1 year,20.6％ at 2 years and 35.9％ at 5 years.No difference was observed in the all-cause cumulative mortality at 1 year,2 years,5 years among the three groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The HFmrEF patients,as a new and distinct group,were with many intermediate characteristics compared with HFrEF and HFpEF subjects.However,the all-cause mortality was not significantly differeut among HF patients with different LVEF.
