OBJECTIVE To investigate the use of drugs and the development of pharmaceutical care in the tight medical alliance （shorted for “medical alliance”） of Wanzhou District of Chongqing， and provide reference for the further construction of the medical alliance. METHODS A survey form was designed and distributed to 21 constituent units （5 leading units and 16 member units） of 5 medical alliances in Wanzhou District of Chongqing. The statistical analysis was conducted in aspects of basic drug allocation and use， pharmaceutical personnel team construction， the development of pharmaceutical care， and rational use of antibiotics. RESULTS Among the 21 constituent units， 4 leading units and 14 member units achieved the target for the proportion of essential drug procurement varieties， with a total compliance rate of 85.71%； 4 leading units and 13 member units achieved the target for the proportion of national essential drug allocation and usage amount， with a total compliance rate of 80.95%. The proportions of personnel with doctoral degrees in the 5 leading units and 16 member units were 1.71% and 0 respectively， and the proportions of personnel with senior professional titles were 8.56% and 1.63%， respectively. A total of 5 pharmacy or pharmaceutical combined outpatient clinics were set up in the 21 medical alliance units， and 5 clinical pharmacy information service platforms were established； all 5 leading units were able to regularly carry out clinical pharmacy projects， while only 4 out of 16 member units had conducted medical order review and evaluation. The proportions of irrational use of antibiotics in outpatient prescriptions and inpatient medical records of the 16 member units （4.81%， 5.21%） were significantly higher than those of the 5 leading units （2.80%， 4.00%）. CONCLUSIONS The allocation and usage of national essential drugs in 21 constituent units from Wanzhou District of Chongqing are both in good standing. However， the data on the allocation of pharmaceutical professionals and the number， qualifications， and job titles of clinical pharmacists in member units are generally low. Moreover， the pharmaceutical service projects and service quality in member units need to be further improved.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of different fermentation methods and times on the fungal flora and chemical composition of Aurantii Fructus， in order to obtain the optimal fermentation conditions and flora structure， and to ensure the stability and controllability of the fermented varieties. MethodsScanning electron microscopy was used to observe and analyze the colony characteristics on the surface of Aurantii Fructus under different fermentation conditions. Internal transcribed spacer 2（ITS2） high-throughput sequencing， combined with fungal community diversity analysis and fungal community structure analysis， were used to obtain the fungal flora microbial categories of Aurantii Fructus under the conditions of traditional pressure-shelf fermentation and non-pressure-shelf natural fermentation for 7， 14， 21 d（numbered Y1-Y3 for the former， and numbered F1-F3 for the latter）， respectively. At the same time， the chemical components in the fermentation process were detected by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS）， combined with principal component analysis（PCA）， partial least squares-discriminant analysis（PLS-DA） and compound retention time， parent ions， characteristic fragment ions and other information， the differential compounds between the different fermentation samples were screened and identified. ResultsThe analysis of fungal community diversity showed that the dominant flora did not change at different fermentation time points in the traditional pressure-shelf fermentation method， while in the non-pressure-shelf natural fermentation method， there was a significant difference with the fermentation process， and at the genus level， the dominant genus of samples Y1， Y2， Y3 and F2 was Aspergillus， while the dominant genera of samples F1 and F3 were both Rhizopus. This indicated that the microbial growth environment provided by the traditional fermentation method was more stable， and the microbial community structure was more stable， which was more conducive to the stable and controllable fermentation process and fermented products. A total of 155 compounds were identified by compositional analysis， including 70 flavonoids， 38 coumarins， 10 alkaloids， 34 organic acids and 3 other compounds. After fermentation， two new components of ribalinine and pranferin were produced. Different fermentation conditions also brought about differences in chemical composition， multivariate statistical analysis obtained 26 differential compounds under two different fermentation methods， mainly including flavonoids， organic acids and coumarins. Comprehensively， the microbial community structure of samples fermented by the traditional pressure-shelf method of Aurantii Fructus for 14 d was stable， the species richness was high and the overall content of differential compounds was high， which was the optimal processing condition. ConclusionCompared with non-pressure-shelf natural fermentation， the traditional method has obvious advantages in terms of the stability of the microbial community structure and the content of chemical compounds， and the optimal condition is 14 days of fermentation. This study is helpful to promote the quality stability and fermentation bioavailability of fermented products of Aurantii Fructus， as well as to provide an experimental basis for the further improvement of the quality control methods of this variety.

Objective To construct and verify a recurrence risk prediction model for patients with malig-nant pleural and peritoneal effusion after deep hyperthermia based on the proportion of peripheral blood CD3+T cell subsets and the expression profile of inflammatory cytokines.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment processes of 188 patients with malignant pleural and peritoneal effusion who visited this hospital from September 2023 to May 2024.All patients re-ceived chemotherapy combined with deep hyperthermia and were divided into the non-recurrence group(n=130)and the recurrence group(n=58)based on whether malignant pleural and peritoneal effusion recurred within 3 months after the end of treatment.The differences in general clinical data,conventional tumor mark-ers at the end of treatment,the proportion of CD3+T cell subsets,and the expression profile levels of inflam-matory cytokines between the two groups of patients were compared.The risk factors for recurrence in pa-tients with malignant pleural and peritoneal effusion were screened through univariate and multivariate Logis-tic regression analyses,and a risk prediction model was established.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to evaluate the effectiveness of this prediction model for the recurrence risk of pa-tients with malignant pleural and peritoneal effusion after chemotherapy combined with deep hyperthermia.Results The age of patients in the recurrence group,the proportion of stage Ⅳ patients,the levels of serum CEA,CA125,TGF-β,and the proportion of CD8+T cells were significantly higher than those in the non-recur-rence group(P＜0.05),while the proportion of CD4+T cells,CD4+/CD8+,and the level of serum IL-10 were significantly lower than those in the non-recurrence group(P＜0.05).The results of univariate and multivari-ate Logistic regression analysis indicated that CD4+T,CD8+T,CD4+/CD8+,IL-10,and TGF-β were all im-portant influencing factors for recurrence after chemotherapy combined with deep hyperthermia in patients with malignant pleural and peritoneal effusion(P＜0.05).The AUC(95％CI)of the predictive model con-structed based on the above influencing factors by ROC curve analysis was 0.708(0.614-0.802),suggesting a high clinical predictive efficacy.Conclusion The predictive model constructed based on T-cell subset counts and serum inflammatory cytokines can effectively predict the recurrence risk of patients with malignant pleu-ral and peritoneal effusion after chemotherapy combined with deep hyperthermia.It has certain clinical value for the therapeutic effect evaluation of patients with malignant pleural and peritoneal effusion and for guiding the optimization of deep hyperthermia regimens.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of circular RNA ASAP1(circASAP1)targeting microRNA-4500(miR-4500)on the proliferation and apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells.Methods Human osteosarcoma cells(Saos-2)were selected as the experimental subjects and cul-tured in DMEM medium containing 10％fetal bovine serum while maintaining 5％CO2.The expres-sions of circASAP1 and miR-4500 in osteosarcoma tissues were detected using RT-qPCR.Saos-2 cells were transfected with si-NC(40 nmol/L),si-circASAP1(40 nmol/L),pcDNA(0.4 μg),pcDNA-circASAP1(0.4 μg),miR-NC(40 nmol/L),miR-4500 mimics(40 nmol/L),si-circASAP1+anti-miR-NC(40 nmol/L),and si-circASAP1+anti-miR-4500(40 nmol/L),respectively.Cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed using CCK-8,colony formation assays,and flow cytometry.The interaction between circASAP1 and miR-4500 was analyzed using a dual-luciferase reporter assay.Results Compared with adjacent non-tumor tissues,the expression of circASAP1 was significantly upregulated,while that of miR-4500 was significantly downregulated in osteosarcoma tissues(P＜0.001).Compared with the si-NC group,the si-circASAP1 group exhibited significantly decreased circASAP1 expression,optical density(OD)values,and the number of cell colonies(P＜0.001).Compared with the si-NC group,the si-circASAP1 group showed significantly upregulated levels of cleaved-caspase3 protein,cleaved-caspase9 protein,and the apoptosis rate(P＜0.001).StarBase search revealed specific binding sequences between miR-4500 and circASAP1.Co-transfection of miR-4500 mimics and WT-circASAP1 significantly reduced the relative luciferase activity of the cells[(0.34±0.03)versus(0.95±0.06),t=27.280,P＜0.001].The expression of miR-4500 in the pcDNA-circASAP1 group was significantly lower than that in the pcDNA group,whereas the ex-pression of miR-4500 in the si-circASAP1 group was significantly higher than that in the si-NC group(P＜0.001).Compared with the miR-NC group,the miR-4500 group exhibited significantly in-creased miR-4500 expression,cleaved-caspase3 protein levels,cleaved-caspase9 protein levels,and the apoptosis rate,while the OD values and the number of colonies significantly decreased(P＜0.001).Compared with the si-circASAP1+anti-miR-NC group,the si-circASAP1+anti-miR-4500 group showed significantly decreased miR-4500 expression,cleaved-caspase3 protein levels,cleaved-caspase9 protein levels,and the apoptosis rate,while the OD values and the number of col-onies significantly increased(P＜0.001).Conclusion The expression of circASAP1 is increased,while that of miR-4500 is decreased in osteosarcoma tissues.Moreover,circASAP1 promotes the proliferation and inhibits the apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells by targeting miR-4500.

【Objective】 To observe the effects of mirror neuron system theory(MNST) on hand dexterity and fine motor function in preschool children with developmental coordination disorder(DCD), so as to provide reference for the rehabilitation of children with DCD. 【Methods】 A total of 51 children with DCD treated at Nantong Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from June 2021 to April 2023 were enrolled in this study, and were randomly assigned to treatment group (n=26) and control group (n=25) except for 5 cases who missed in the follow-up. Both groups received conventional rehabilitation training, while the treatment group received MNST additionally. The hand dexterity and fine motor function of both groups were assessed using the hand dexterity subscale of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-Second Edition (MABC-2), Peabody Developmental Motor Scale-Fine Motor (PDMS-FM), and Function Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM) before and after 12 weeks of treatment. 【Results】 Before treatment, there were no significant differences in hand dexterity subscale of MABC-2, PDMS-FM, and WeeFIM scores between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, both groups showed improvements in hand dexterity subscale of MABC-2, PDMS-FM, and WeeFIM scores (treatment group: t=35.620, 42.084, 40.072; control group: t=14.000, 12.017, 14.054, P<0.001), with the treatment group showing significantly greater improvements compared to the control group (t=2.611, 3.120, 2.331, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 MNST combined with conventional rehabilitation training can enhance hand dexterity and fine motor function in children with DCD, thereby improving children′s activities of daily living.

Objectives:To analyze the clinical prognosis stratification of fetal heart disease(FHD)and the mid-term follow-up results following integrated prenatal and postnatal management. Methods:Present retrospective analysis was performed on 817 fetuses diagnosed with FHD by fetal echocardiography in Fuwai Hospital,Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences(Fuwai Hospital)from the 8th February 2018 to 30th April 2022.According to the Chinese expert consensus on fetal prognosis score of congenital heart disease(CHD)and Fuwai Hospital Pediatric Center score,FHD was divided into grade Ⅰ(0 point),grade Ⅱ(1-3 points),grade Ⅲ(4-6 points)and grade Ⅳ(7-9 points).For FHD fetuses that need to be treated in the neonatal period,the whole closed-loop management and treatment were completed,including pregnancy,birth,neonatal monitoring,surgery,and follow-up.The clinical data and mid-term follow-up results of FHD fetuses were analyzed. Results:A total of 752 fetuses completed the mid-term follow-up.The mean follow-up time was(18.5±2.3)months.There were 111 cases(14.8%)of FHD grade Ⅰ,251 cases(33.4%)of FHD grade Ⅱ,275 cases(33.6%)of FHD grade Ⅲ and 115 cases(15.3%)of FHD grade Ⅳ.There were 393 cases(52.2%)of fetal preservation,1 case(0.2%)of intrauterine death,and 358 cases(47.6%)of induced abortion.Compared with the induced fetus,the pregnant women in the reserved fetus group were older,the gestational age was longer,the rate of receiving noninvasive DNA and amniocentesis was lower,the proportion of chromosomal abnormalities or genetic abnormalities was smaller,and the FHD prognostic score was lower(all P<0.05).One case(0.9%)of FHD grade Ⅰ fetus experienced intrauterine fetal death,and 110 cases(99.1%)were born and recovered.164 cases(65.3%)of grade Ⅱ fetuses were born,and all of them were cured by surgery or spontaneously.118 cases(42.9%)of grade Ⅲ fetuses were born,117 cases completed biventricular radical operation,and 1 case completed two-stage operation waiting for the second stage biventricular radical operation.One case(0.9%)of grade Ⅳ was born and completed the two-stage bidirectional Glenn procedure.Among the induced FHD grade Ⅱ fetuses,8(9.2%)had abnormal chromosomal or genetic testing results,and 8(9.2%)had other organ abnormalities.Among the induced FHD grade Ⅲ fetuses,5 cases(3.2%)had chromosomal abnormalities,5 cases(3.2%)had genetic abnormalities,and 9 cases(5.7%)had other organ abnormalities.There was only one case(0.9%)of FHD Ⅳ with hypoplastic left heart syndrome,which was retained as one of the twins and was born successfully.Norwood one-stage procedure was performed in the neonatal period,and two-stage bidirectional Greene procedure was performed at 6 months after birth.Other fetuses were induced following the choice of maternity and their family members. Conclusions:Hierarchical management based on clinical prognosis is helpful to scientifically guide the integrated treatment of FHD fetuses and improve the success rate of treatment of FHD fetuses with good prognosis.

Objective: To investigate the attitude and behaviors towards tobacco control among civil servants in smoke-free governments of Ningbo City, so as to provide insights into the construction of smoke-free governments. Methods: Ten governments were randomly sampled from city-level and county/district-level smoke-free governments in Ningbo City using a stratified random sampling method, and 10 civil servants were sampled from each government using a convenient sampling method. Participants' demographics, attitude and behaviors towards tobacco control and second-hand smoke exposure were collected using a self-designed questionnaire and descriptively analyzed. Results: A total of 1 100 civil servants were recruited, including 466 men (42.36%) and had a mean age of (39.02±9.38) years. There were 1 005 participants favoring “civil servants should refuse smoking firstly” (91.36%), 1 058 participants favoring “governments should build a smoke-free environment firstly” (96.18%), 1 075 participants favoring “smoking should be completely banned in any indoor public places” (97.73%), 913 participants thinking that smoking should be completely banned in any indoor public places (83.00%) and 813 participants thinking that tobacco control regulations are implemented satisfactorily in their workplaces (73.91%). The overall prevalence of current smoking was 11.91% among participants, and the prevalence of current smoking was 28.11% among male participants. Among all current smokers, 84 attempted to quit smoking (64.12%), and 89 had willingness or plans to quit smoking (67.94%). The proportion of second-hand smoke exposure in workplaces was 40.97% among non-smokers in the past one week. Conclusions The civil servants in Ningbo City has correct awareness of smoke-free governments, active attitudes towards tobacco control and low prevalence of smoking. However, smoke-free regulations remain to be improved and long-term tobacco control mechanisms remain to be created in governments in Ningbo City

ObjectiveTo apply pneumatic hand rehabilitation equipment in comprehensive rehabilitation training to improve hand function in children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. MethodsFrom Januray, 2020 to September, 2021, 58 children with spastic hemiplegia cerebral palsy in Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital of Nantong University were randomly divided into control group (n = 29) and experimental group (n = 29). Both groups accepted comprehensive rehabilitation training, while the experimental group accepted pneumatic hand rehabilitation equipment training in addition, for six months. They were assessed with Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-Fine Motor (PDMS-FM), Fine Motor Function Measurement (FMFM) and Wee-Function Independence Measure (Wee-FIM) before and after training. ResultsThe scores of PDMS-FM, FMFM and Wee-FIM improved in both groups after training (|t| > 16.310, P < 0.001), and improved more in the experimental group than in the control group (t > 2.795, P < 0.01). ConclusionApplication of pneumatic hand rehabilitation equipment in comprehensive rehabilitation training can effectively promote the recovery of hand function for children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of endoscopic histoacryl injection in cirrhotic patients with newly-developed esophagogastric varices (EGV) who have previously undergone splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization.Methods:From January 2015 to January 2020, 125 cirrhotic patients with EGV treated with endoscopic histoacryl injection at the Department of Gastroenterology, Jinling Hospital, Medical School of Nanjing University, were included in the retrospective analysis. There were 45 patients in the group of splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization (splenectomy group for short) and 80 patients in the non-splenectomy group. The efficacy of endoscopic treatment, postoperative variceal improvement, rebleeding rate, and complications were analyzed between the two groups.Results:Endoscopic histoacryl injection was successfully completed in all 125 patients, and the median volume of histoacryl was 4.5 mL. The overall effective rate in splenectomy and non-splenectomy group was 80.0% (36/45) and 57.5% (46/80), respectively. The difference in the number of significantly effective, effective, and ineffective cases between the two groups was statistically significant (16, 20, 9 cases, and 20, 26, 34 cases, respectively, χ 2=6.469, P=0.039). Two and 14 patients developed rebleeding in the splenectomy group and non-splenectomy group, respectively; and the difference in the rebleeding rate between the two groups was statistically significant (4.4% VS 17.5%, Log-rank P=0.039). No patient died within 1 year in either group, and no serious complications such as ectopic embolism occurred. Conclusion:After splenectomy combined with pericardial devascularization in cirrhotic patients with EGV and hypersplenism, the application of histoacryl has better short-term efficacy and can significantly reduce the rebleeding rate compared with the non-splenectomy group.
