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 explore the effects of the school based integrated horticulture curriculum intervention on 24 hour activity behaviors among third grade primary school students, so as to provide reference for promoting children s health. Methods: In September 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 90 third grade primary school students from a primary school in Changsha. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group ( n =45) and a control group ( n =45) using a random number table. From February to May 2024, the intervention group received a 12 week integrated curriculum intervention, consisting of two 60 minute sessions per week and covering horticultural practice, home-school collaborative tasks and nutrition knowledge education. The control group continued with routine labor education courses. The triaxial accelerometer and multi sensor sleep monitoring device were used to objectively measure light intensity physical activity (LPA), moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), screen based sedentary behavior (SSB) and sleep (SLP), durations in both groups. Data were analyzed using generalized estimating equations (GEE) and Mann-Whitney U tests. Results: The time, group and interaction effects of MVPA time and SLP time before and after intervention in two groups of primary school students were not statistically significant (Wald χ 2=1.54, 2.97, 0.85 ; 0.75, 1.05, 0.48), and the group effect of LPA time (Wald χ 2=1.24) and the time and group effects (Wald χ 2=3.02, 1.18 ) were not statistically significant (all P >0.05). There were statistically significant time and interaction effects for LPA time, as well as interaction effect for SSB time in two groups of primary school students before and after intervention (Wald χ 2=4.78, 3.95, 12.60, all P <0.05). After intervention, LPA time of intervention group [152.23(59.15, 245.80)min] was higher than that of control group [120.70(29.90, 201.20)min], and SSB time of intervention group [55.50(30.00, 125.50)min] was lower than that of control group [220.00(60.00, 285.00)min], with statistically significant differences ( Z =-2.46, -4.48, both P <0.05). Conclusion The school horticulture curriculum effectively enhances daily LPA and reduces SSB among third grade primary school students.

Objective: To investigate the predictive value of preoperative Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), serum albumin (ALB), and their combination for perioperative RBC transfusion in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: A total of 1 027 patients clinically diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent radical surgery were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into transfusion group and non-transfusion group according to whether they received red blood cell suspension transfusion. The perioperative clinical data of patients were compared between the groups. The predictive value of NLR combined with ALB for perioperative blood transfusion was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the optimal cutoff value was determined. Results: A total of 207 patients (20.16%, 207/1 027) received RBC transfusion. NLR combined with serum ALB concentration (ROC=0.712; P<0.001) was more accurate in predicting transfusion demand than NLR or ALB alone. The transfusion rate in the group with NLR>2.12 and ALB≤40.5 (45.32%, 92/203) was significantly higher than that in the group with NLR≤2.12 and ALB>40.5 (13.01%, 51/392) and the remaining combination group (14.81%, 64/432). Correlation analysis showed that NLR was statistically significantly correlated with ASA score, vascular invasion, satellite data, and the extent of liver resection. ALB was significantly correlated with ASA score, TNM stage, vascular invasion, satellite, and extent of hepatectomy. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the combination of preoperative inflammatory factor NLR and serum ALB can effectively predict the perioperative blood transfusion needs of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Renal fibrosis is the common pathological endpoint of many forms of chronic kidney disease (CKD), yet the mechanisms determining effective repair versus persistent fibrotic remodeling remain incompletely understood. Peritubular capillaries (PTCs) are not merely passive targets of fibrotic injury, but form a dynamic vascular microenvironment linking regional perfusion, oxygen delivery, tubular metabolism, endothelial barrier integrity, pericyte support, immune-cell trafficking, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. We propose that PTC abnormalities should not be interpreted simply as reduced capillary density, but as a multidimensional disturbance of microvascular structure and function. Structural vascular preservation does not necessarily indicate effective microcirculation: anatomically detectable capillaries may still exhibit impaired perfusion, barrier dysfunction, abnormal endothelial-pericyte interactions, disturbed oxygen metabolism, or reduced network connectivity. Conversely, increased angiogenesis does not necessarily signify successful vascular repair if vessels remain immature, poorly perfused, or inadequately integrated into the existing network. To organize these abnormalities, we conceptualize PTC remodeling into four predominant but nonexclusive states: endothelial barrier disruption with inflammatory adhesion; endothelial-pericyte uncoupling with no-reflow; dysregulated angiogenesis with network simplification; and capillary rarefaction with fibrotic matrix locking. These states are not sequential stages of CKD. They may coexist within the same kidney, overlap within the same anatomical region, and vary with disease etiology, injury phase, vascular compartment, and treatment exposure. We further propose six dimensions for evaluating PTC status—structural presence, functional perfusion, barrier integrity, pericyte coupling, oxygen metabolism, and network connectivity—so that vascular quantity, function, and reparative capacity are assessed separately rather than inferred from a single endothelial marker or capillary-density measurement. Mechanistically, these states converge on a bidirectional microvascular-fibrotic feedback loop. Barrier disruption facilitates leukocyte recruitment and alters vascular paracrine signaling. Endothelial-pericyte uncoupling compromises capillary stability, whereas abnormal pericyte contraction may increase local vascular resistance and contribute to no-reflow before overt capillary loss. Dysregulated angiogenesis may generate vessels that fail to mature or connect to an effective perfusion network. Progressive capillary rarefaction compromises oxygen delivery, while sustained tubular transport demand and mitochondrial dysfunction may aggravate regional oxygen supply-demand mismatch. Injured tubules, immune cells, endothelial cells, pericytes, and fibroblasts communicate through soluble mediators, extracellular vesicles, direct cell contact, and cell-matrix signaling. Importantly, fibrosis is not merely a downstream consequence of microvascular injury. Altered ECM may increase diffusion distance, modify mechanotransduction, impair endothelial survival and migration, and restrict capillary reopening and regeneration. We use the term matrix locking to describe this sustained constraint on vascular repair, while emphasizing that current evidence does not establish irreversible disease in humans. This framework also has therapeutic implications. PTC-directed treatment should not be reduced to increasing vessel number or uniformly promoting angiogenesis. Instead, intervention should be matched to the dominant and potentially reversible abnormality: preserving endothelial barrier function; restoring endothelial-pericyte stability and reducing pathological microvascular resistance; normalizing angiogenesis so that vascular growth is accompanied by maturation, barrier competence, network integration, and effective perfusion; and, in advanced rarefaction, relieving matrix-related constraints while supporting vascular regeneration. The context- and time-dependent effects of signaling through VEGF, Tie2, PDGF-B/PDGFRβ, eNOS/NO, and related pathways indicate that the same molecular signal may exert different effects depending on disease context and timing. Therapeutic efficacy should therefore be evaluated by restoration of effective microcirculation and tissue function rather than by isolated molecular changes or capillary counts alone. Despite increasing mechanistic evidence, the translational basis for this framework remains limited. Most causal and interventional data derive from animal or cell models, whereas human evidence is largely limited to pathological observations, patient-sample associations, and prognostic studies. Currently available circulating and urinary candidate biomarkers generally lack sufficient specificity for PTC injury or state assignment, and no standardized quantitative thresholds have been externally validated. The four-state model should therefore be regarded as a hypothesis-generating analytical framework rather than a clinicopathological classification system. Future studies should integrate spatially resolved tissue phenotyping, blood and urine biomarkers, and dynamic microcirculatory assessment in longitudinal cohorts. They should test reproducibility, assess prognostic value beyond conventional pathology, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and proteinuria, and determine whether changes in PTC status precede or mediate therapeutic benefit. Linking reproducible microvascular phenotypes to defined mechanisms, treatment response, and long-term renal outcomes will be essential to determine whether state-directed assessment and restoration of the PTC microenvironment can ultimately inform patient stratification and therapeutic decision-making.

Thoracolumbar spine fracture often leads to severe pain, functional impairments, and neurological deficits, for which open reduction and internal fixation can effectively restore the spinal structural stability. Open decompression and reduction with internal fixation can help relieve spinal cord compression and improve spinal function in cases of concomitant cord injury. Although spinal stability can be restored through surgery, patients often face chronic pain and functional impairments postoperatively. A postoperative rehabilitation program is critical in optimizing therapeutic outcomes, reducing complications, and minimizing the risk of secondary injuries. However, current rehabilitation methods, such as physical therapy, functional training, and pain management, are confronted with problems in clinical practice, including significant variation in efficacy, poor patient adherence, and prolonged rehabilitation period. There is an urgent need for a unified rehabilitation strategy to address these problems. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Spine Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Human Health Technology Promotion Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate Evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation treatment after internal fixation of thoracolumbar spine fracture in adults ( version 2025) by integrating evidences from clinical researches and advanced rehabilitation concepts at home and abroad. A total number of 14 recommendations concerning the rehabilitation treatment with multimodal analgesia, psychological intervention, deep vein thrombosis prevention, core muscle and extremity exercise, appropriate use of braces, early weight-bearing, device-aided rehabilitation exercise, neuroregulatory therapy, rehabilitation team were put forward, aiming to standardize the post-operative rehabilitation process following internal fixation, promote the functional recovery, and enhance patients′ quality of life.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Objective To establish a stable,reliable,and clinically relevant porcine model of endotoxin-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Methods Ten 8-month-old male Bama minipigs were deeply sedated,followed by invasive mechanical ventilation and electrocardiographic monitoring.Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)was intravenously pumped at 600 μg/(kg·h)for 3 hours,then maintained at 15 μg/(kg·h)thereafter.Dynamic monitoring was performed at five time points after LPS injection(LPS 0,1,3,5,and 8 h),including arterial blood gas analysis and chest computed tomography(CT)scans.Pathological examination of lung tissues obtained via bronchoscopic biopsy(HE staining and transmission electron microscopy)was conducted.These indicators were comprehensively used to evaluate the success of the animal model.Results At 5 hours after LPS administration,8 minipigs developed symptoms such as skin cyanosis,elevated body temperature,and respiratory distress.The oxygenation index decreased to<300 mmHg.Chest CT scans showed diffuse pulmonary infiltrates.Histopathology revealed alveolar edema and hyaline membrane formation.Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated disruption of pulmonary blood-air barrier,depletion of lamellar bodies in type Ⅱ pneumocytes,inflammatory cell infiltration,and exudation of plasma proteins and fibrin.Compared with LPS 0 h,at LPS 8 h,the oxygenation index and arterial blood pH were significantly decreased(P<0.001),while blood lactic acid and serum potassium were significantly increased(P<0.05);serum calcium and base excess were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the lung injury score based on HE-stained lung sections was significantly increased(P<0.01).Conclusion The porcine ARDS model established by continuous LPS injection can dynamically simulate the pathophysiological characteristics and typical pathological manifestations of clinical septic ARDS,making it an effective tool to study the pathogenesis,prevention,and treatment strategies of septic ARDS.

Objective To explore the role of ring finger protein 41(RNF41)in the initiation and progression of cholangiocarcinoma.Methods The expression levels of RNF41 mRNA and protein in tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues from 84 CHOL patients who underwent total surgical resection at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University and Kunming Ganmei Hospital between January 2010 and December 2016 were analyzed using bioinformatics,Western blot,and immunohistochemistry.The TIMER 2.0 database was used to analyze the impact of RNF41 on the prognosis and survival of CHOL patients and the relationship between RNF41 and tumor clinical characteristics.RNF41 siRNA was transfected into HCC9810,RBE,and HUCCT1 cells.CCK-8,Edu,colony formation,and Western blot assays were conducted to evaluate the changes in proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cells between the RNF41 knockdown group and the control group.Transwell assays and detection of EMT and migration markers were performed to assess changes in the invasion ability of cholangiocarcinoma cells between the RNF41 knockdown and control groups.Western blot was used to examine the effect of RNF41 knockdown on epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cholangiocarcinoma cells.Twelve BALB/c mice were randomly divided into two groups:a control group and an RNF41 knockdown group,with six mice in each group.Tumor formation assays,Western blot assays,and immunohistochemistry staining were carried out to investigate the effect of RNF41 knockdown on tumor growth in nude mice.Results Real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR analysis revealed that the expression level of RNF41 mRNA in cholangiocarcinoma tissues was significantly higher than that in the corresponding adjacent non-tumor tissues(P<0.01),and this trend was corroborated at the protein level by immunohistochemical staining.Using the TIMER 2.0 database,we further analyzed the correlation between RNF41 expression and clinicopathological features,including histological grade,tumor stage,lymph node metastasis,and patient survival.The results indicated that elevated RNF41 expression was significantly associated with advanced histological grade and lymph node metastasis in cholangiocarcinoma(P<0.01).Survival analysis demonstrated that high RNF41 expression was closely linked to poor prognosis in patients with cholangiocarcinoma(CHOL).Functional assays,including CCK-8,EdU incorporation,and colony formation,showed that RNF41 knockdown significantly inhibited the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cells compared with the control group.Western blot analysis revealed that,following RNF41 silencing,the expression of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)marker E-cadherin was markedly upregulated,whereas the levels of mesenchymal markers N-cadherin and MMP9 were significantly reduced(P<0.05).These findings were consistent with the results obtained from in vitro experiments(P<0.01).Moreover,in vivo studies showed that RNF41 knockdown suppressed subcutaneous tumor formation in nude mice(P<0.05).Conclusion RNF41 plays a critical role in promoting the occurrence and progression of cholangiocarcinoma and is closely associated with adverse clinicopathological features and poor prognosis in patients.The knockdown of RNF41 effectively suppresses the proliferation,invasion,epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT),and tumorigenicity of cholangiocarcinoma cells.

Aim To evaluate the ameliorative effects of different ratios of Renshen-Huangjing(RH) on SPS-induced PTSD-like behaviors in mice,and to investi-gate the action mechanism using bioinformatics analysis and experimental studies.Methods The aqueous ex-tract was extracted in four ratios of RH in a total weight of 60 g,i.e.1∶0(RH1),2∶1(RH2),1∶2(RH3),and 0∶1(RH4).The extraction rates of Rg1,Rb1,and polysaccharides from different ratios of RH were then detected using UPLC-UV method.The SPS model was established,and RH1,RH2,RH3 and RH4(400 mg·kg-1)were administered by intragas-tric gavage for 14 day,followed by behavioral tests to e-valuate the PTSD-like behaviors.The serum CORT,IL-1β and IL-10 were determined by ELISA.The possible targets of action were analyzed using bioinformatics.The expression levels of Calpain-1,PSD95,BDNF and GluN2B in the hippocampus were detected by Western blot.Results The SPS model induced PTSD-like be-haviors in mice.Serum levels of CORT and IL-1β in-creased and level of IL-10 decreased in SPS model.After treatment with different ratios of RHs,RH2 showed the best therapeutic effect,which was manifes-ted in the suppression of PTSD-like behaviors,the re-duction of CORT and IL-1β levels,and the promotion of IL-10 levels;160 overlapping targets might explain the therapeutic effects of RH on PTSD,and these tar-gets were enriched in inhibiting synaptic damage,exer-ting antioxidant properties and suppressing neuroin-flammation,respectively.RH2 prevented the SPS-in-duced decrease in the expression of Calpain-1,PSD95,BDNF and the elevation of GluN2B.Molecular docking showed strong binding of Rg1 and Rb1 to Calpain-1,PSD95,and BDNF,respectively.Conclusions The a-queous extract of RH in a 2∶1 ratio can more effec-tively prevent SPS-induced PTSD-like behaviors,and its effect may be related to targets such as Calpain-1,PSD95,BDNF and GluN2B.

Aim To investigate the effect of Rtv(a P-gp inhibitor and inducer)on the pharmacokinetics of Y101(P-gp substrate)via P-gp.Methods In short-term studies,rats received a single dose of Rtv,where-as in long-term studies they received continuous dosing for seven days.Following this treatment,Y101 was o-rally administered to analyze its blood concentration in rats.Subsequently,the mechanism by which Rtv af-fected Y101 pharmacokinetics was investigated through the everted gut sac model(in vitro),cellular uptake studies,and so on.Results Short-term administra-tion of Rtv significantly increased Y101's AUC,liver-to-plasma partition coefficient,the everted gut sac model(in vitro),and cellular accumulation.Although long-term Rtv treatment had no effect on Y101 pharma-cokinetics or hepatic distribution,it markedly reduced Y101 cellular accumulation in Caco-2 cells,concomi-tant with an upregulation of P-gp expression.Conclu-sions Short-term Rtv administration acts as a compet-itive P-gp inhibitor,enhancing Y101 intestinal absorp-tion and hepatic distribution.In contrast,the plasma pharmacokinetics and hepatic distribution of Y101 are not altered after long-term administration of Rtv,po-tentially attributable to Rtv's dual modulatory effects on P-gp involving both induction and inhibition.Hence,the potential Rtv and Y101 interaction should be close-ly monitored in the clinic.
