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.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active moiety of both mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS), serves as a primary immunosuppressant for maintaining solid organ transplants. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) enhances treatment outcomes through tailored approaches. This study aimed to develop an evidence-based guideline for MPA TDM, facilitating its rational application in clinical settings. The guideline plan was drawn from the Institute of Medicine and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Using the Delphi method, clinical questions and outcome indicators were generated. Systematic reviews, Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence quality evaluations, expert opinions, and patient values guided evidence-based suggestions for the guideline. External reviews further refined the recommendations. The guideline for the TDM of MPA (IPGRP-2020CN099) consists of four sections and 16 recommendations encompassing target populations, monitoring strategies, dosage regimens, and influencing factors. High-risk populations, timing of TDM, area under the curve (AUC) versus trough concentration (C0), target concentration ranges, monitoring frequency, and analytical methods are addressed. Formulation-specific recommendations, initial dosage regimens, populations with unique considerations, pharmacokinetic-informed dosing, body weight factors, pharmacogenetics, and drug-drug interactions are covered. The evidence-based guideline offers a comprehensive recommendation for solid organ transplant recipients undergoing MPA therapy, promoting standardization of MPA TDM, and enhancing treatment efficacy and safety.

Objective:
To investigate the impact of mandibular retrognathism on brain function in rats and its potential mechanisms.
Methods :
Male SD rats aged 3 to 4 weeks ( w) were randomly divided into control group ( n = 10) and mandible retrusion ( MR) group ( n = 30) ,with the MR group further divided into three subgroups: 1,2, or 4 weeks,with 10 rats in each subgroup.The MR group used modified metal tubes,which were bonded to the lingual side of the maxillary incisors in rats,forcing the mandible to retract by 2-2. 5 mm,thereby achieving the goal of constructing a mandibular retrognathism model; the control group received no interventions.The effects of mandibular retraction on the spatial learning ability and memory ability of rats were explored by behavioral experi- ments such as Morris water maze,Y maze and new object recognition 1,2,and 4 weeks after modeling,respective- ly.Hematoxylin-eosin ( HE) and Nissl staining were employed to observe the histomorphological changes in CA1, CA3,and DG regions of hippocampal tissues.Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the protein expression levels of tropomyosin receptor kinase B ( TrkB) in the CA1,CA3,and dentate gyrus ( DG) regions of the hippo- campus.Western blot was used to assess the expression changes in the TrkB / phosphoinositide 3-kinase ( PI3K) / protein kinase B ( AKT) pathway in hippocampal tissue.Quantitative analysis of apoptosis-related proteins in the hippocampus,including Bcl-2-associated X protein ( Bax) ,B-cell lymphoma-2 protein ( Bcl-2) ,and Caspase-3, was conducted using qRT-PCR and Western blot.
Results:
Behavioral experiments showed that rats in the MR group,especially the MR 4 w group,were significantly weaker in learning and spatial memory than the control group,MR 1 w,and MR 2 w( P<0. 05) .HE staining showed that pyramidal cells in the control group were ar- ranged orderly with regular morphology.In contrast,the MR group exhibited a reduction in the number of cells in the hippocampal CA1,CA3,and dentate gyrus ( DG) regions.The cells were sparsely and irregularly arranged, with nuclear condensation and enlarged cellular spaces. Nissl staining further demonstrated damage to the Nissl bodies in the MR group.Meanwhile,the TrkB / PI3K / AKT signaling pathway was activated in the MR group,and the expression of p-TrkB,PI3K,and p-AKT proteins was up-regulated ( P <0. 05) .Western blot and qRT-PCR indicated that MR up-regulated the expression of pro-apoptotic protein Bax,apoptotic effector protein Caspase-3 ( P<0. 05) ,and inhibited the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 ( P <0. 05) .
Conclusion
Mandibular retraction impairs brain function and affects cognition and learning memory in rats.This may be achieved by regula- ting the TrkB / PI3K / AKT signaling pathway to induce apoptosis in hippocampal neurons.

Objective:To determine the expression of adenylate cyclase genes ADCY2/4/5/8 in cutaneous melanoma, to explore their roles and mechanisms of action, and to verify their effect on the proliferation and migration of the melanoma cell line A375.Methods:Data on the mRNA and protein expression of ADCY2/4/5/8, as well as the correlation between gene expression and prognosis, were analyzed through the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) and Human Protein Atlas (HPA) databases; ADCY2/4/5/8 gene methylation and mutation status were analyzed through the UALCAN, DeMth, and cBioPortal databases; Gene Ontology analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis were performed on the ADCY2/4/5/8 genes using the DAVID and STRING databases. qPCR was conducted to determine the relative mRNA expression of ADCY2/4/5/8 in the A375 melanoma cells and FF pigmented nevus cells. Cultured A375 cells were divided into experimental groups and control groups to be transfected with ADCY2/4/5/8 overexpression plasmids and empty vectors, respectively. Cell counting kit (CCK8) and Transwell assays were performed to evaluate the effect of ADCY2/4/5/8 overexpression on the proliferation and migration of A375 cells, qPCR was conducted to determine the relative mRNA expression of genes related to the proliferation and migration of A375 cells, and Western blot analysis to determine the expression of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway-related proteins in A375 cells after the overexpression of ADCY2/4/5/8. One-way analysis of variance and repeated measures analysis of variance were used for the comparison among multiple groups, and least significant difference- t test was used for multiple comparisons. Results:Bioinformatics analysis based on the GEPIA database showed that the mRNA expression of ADCY2, ADCY4, ADCY5, and ADCY8 was down-regulated in melanoma tissues ( n = 461) compared with normal tissues ( n = 558, P < 0.01) ; stratified analysis showed that the mRNA expression of ADCY2 ( P = 0.015) and ADCY8 ( P = 0.038) was correlated with tumor staging, and the lower the mRNA expression, the later the tumor stage. In the HPA database, the ADCY2/4/5/8 protein expression was reduced in 30 melanoma tissues compared with 30 normal tissues ( P < 0.001). Analysis of the UALCAN and DeMth database data showed elevated methylation levels of ADCY2/4/5/8 in melanoma tissues and metastatic melanoma tissues compared with normal tissues ( P < 0.001). Analysis of the DAVID and STRING database data demonstrated that the ADCY2/4/5/8 gene may inhibit cell proliferation and migration by activating the cAMP signaling pathway. qPCR showed that the relative mRNA expression of ADCY2/4/5/8 was lower in A375 cells than in FF cells. CCK8 assay showed that the survival rates of A375 cells were significantly lower in the ADCY2/4/5/8 overexpression groups than in the corresponding control groups at 48 and 72 hours (all P < 0.05). Transwell assay showed that the number of migratory A375 cells was significantly lower in the ADCY2/4/5/8 overexpression groups than in the corresponding control groups (all P < 0.01). As qPCR revealed, the ADCY2/4/5/8 overexpression groups showed significantly upregulated relative mRNA expression of epithelial cadherin, but significantly downregulated relative mRNA expression of Ki67, vimentin, neural cadherin, and matrix metalloproteinase 2 compared with the corresponding control groups (all P < 0.001). Western blot analysis showed that the protein expression of cAMP and phosphorylated protein kinase A (p-PKA) in A375 cells was significantly higher in the ADCY2/4/5/8 overexpression groups than in the corresponding control groups (all P < 0.001), but there were no significant differences in the PKA protein expression levels between the ADCY2/4/5/8 overexpression groups and the corresponding control groups (all P > 0.05) . Conclusion:The expression of ADCY2/4/5/8 was downregulated in melanoma tissues, and overexpressed ADCY2/4/5/8 could inhibit the proliferation and migration of melanoma cells, suggesting that ADCY2/4/5/8 may serve as potential tumor suppressor genes in the progression of melanoma.

Objective:To investigate the effects of external application of Sanying Plaster on the size of thyroid nodules and the states of depression and anxiety in patients with benign thyroid nodules.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 120 patients with benign thyroid nodules from the outpatient clinic of the Department of Thyroid Diseases at Shanghai Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from June to December 2022 were selected as the subjects of the study. They were divided into two groups using the random number table method, with 60 patients in each group. The control group received lifestyle intervention treatment, while the treatment group received Sanying Ointment in addition to the treatment of the control group. Both groups were treated for 3 months. TCM syndrome scores were measured before and after treatment; the maximum diameter of thyroid nodules was measured using a color Doppler ultrasound transverse section; the quality of life was assessed using the short form 36 (SF-36); the degree of anxiety and depression was evaluated using the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and the self-rating depression scale (SDS); adverse reactions during the treatment period were recorded, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:During the treatment period, 4 cases in the treatment group and 3 cases in the control group did not complete the treatment. Finally, 56 cases in the treatment group and 57 cases in the control group entered the efficacy evaluation. The total effective rate of the treatment group was 71.4% (40/56), and that of the control group was 14.0% (8/57), with a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=26.82, P<0.001). After treatment, the TCM syndrome score of the treatment group (10.02±3.65 vs. 16.65±3.44, t=-10.24) was lower than that of the control group ( P<0.001); the maximum diameter of thyroid nodules [11.00 (4.65, 19.93) mm vs. 15.00 (7.15, 28.50) mm, Z=-2.43] was lower than that of the control group ( P<0.05); the SF-36 score [121.83 (117.00, 130.00) vs. 114.42 (104.25, 127.50), Z=-2.62] was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.01); the SDS (46.72±4.59 vs. 57.02±5.99, t=14.80) and SAS (42.25±5.72 vs. 50.60±7.12, t=10.04) scores were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.001). The incidence of adverse reactions during the treatment period in the treatment group was 3.5% (2/57), and no adverse reactions occurred in the control group. Conclusion:The external application of Sanying Ointment helps to reduce the size of thyroid nodules in patients with benign thyroid nodules, improve the quality of life and anxiety and depression, and increase clinical efficacy with good safety.
