OBJECTIVE To explore the correlation between drug consumption index and diagnosis related groups (DRG) overspending cases, and provide a basis for hospitals to optimize the cost structure and strengthen the refined management. METHODS Based on the data of DRG patients enrolled in a third-grade class A hospital from September to November 2023, the multivariate Logistic regression model and restricted cubic spline (RCS) model were used to analyze the correlation of drug consumption index with DRG overspending cases and its threshold effect, respectively. At the same time, rational drug use evaluation was conducted based on the drug consumption index, precise cost control and management were carried out, and the changes in the main pharmaceutical indicators of the whole hospital were analyzed before control (January-June 2023) and after control (January-June 2024). RESULTS The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that long hospitalization days, high drug consumption index, transfer to other departments and combined diabetes mellitus were the risk factors for DRG overspending (P<0.05). The results of the RCS model showed that the drug consumption index had a non-linear relationship with DRG overspending. When the drug consumption index was ≥0.64, the drug consumption index was positively correlated with the risk of DRG overspending(P<0.05). Compared with the same period before the control, medical cost per time, drug cost per time and drug consumption index decreased significantly after the control (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS The drug consumption index is a risk factor for DRG overruns, there is a non-linear relationship and threshold effect between it and DRG overruns. Each hospital can set a reasonable threshold and implement dynamic monitoring and intervention by comprehensively considering the actual drug usage, disease spectrum characteristics, and cost control targets, as well as factors such as medical quality, patient needs, and the payment capacity of medical insurance, which can effectively achieve precise control over drug usage.

BACKGROUND:During tissue repair and regeneration,macrophages exhibit multiple activities such as promoting inflammation,anti-inflammation,fibrosis,and wound healing at various stages of tissue damage.The heterogeneity and balanced polarization of macrophages are decisive in organ repair. OBJECTIVE:To explore the research hotspots and development trends in the field of macrophage polarization in tissue repair through visualization analysis methods,as well as the research level of global scientific and clinical workers in this field. METHODS:Using bibliometric analysis methods,this study employed Citespace literature visualization analysis software and VOSviewer tools,retrieving related literature from 2013 to 2023 in the Web of Science Core Collection's Science Citation Index Expanded(SCI-Expanded)and Social Sciences Citation Index Expanded(SSCI-Expanded)databases.The analysis results were presented in a dynamic map format,revealing the main trends and focuses of the research. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of publications in this field had dramatically increased from 2013 to 2023,with a significant rise starting in 2017.Chinese researchers had the highest number of publications,with 642 papers,while American researchers began focusing on this field early on.Professor Elisseeff Hennifer H had made a substantial contribution to the research in this area.Shanghai Jiao Tong University had produced the most publications.In recent years,keywords such as"hyaluronic acid"and"regulation"had been prevalent.Macrophage polarization research in tissue repair primarily concentrates on its multifunctional regulatory mechanisms,interactions with other cell types,and its behavior under specific pathological conditions.The main research areas include the role of macrophages in wound healing,cardiovascular diseases,chronic inflammation,tumor microenvironments,and regenerative medicine.A deeper understanding of the multifunctionality and polarization mechanisms of macrophages can lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies to enhance tissue repair and regeneration,thereby improving patient treatment outcomes.

OBJECTIVE To provide empirical basis for promoting the dynamic adjustment of the pharmaceutical care catalogue and the formulation of policies such as hierarchical payment of medical insurance. METHODS A multicenter cross- sectional survey method was adopted to conduct a questionnaire survey among 424 inpatients in 22 tertiary medical institutions in 12 prefecture-level cities of Hubei Province to evaluate their demand for pharmaceutical care, willingness to pay and preference for service forms. Combined with univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis, the influencing factors and key factors that affect patients’ willingness to pay for pharmaceutical care were identified. RESULTS Only 39.86% of the patients were aware of pharmaceutical care or pharmacists, and 89.62% of the patients hope to receive pharmaceutical care. Among the 16 types of pharmaceutical care, the patients surveyed had a relatively high recognition rate for guidance on drug usage and dosage, notification of medication precautions, and the identification, prevention and handling of adverse drug reactions. 96.70%, 95.30%, and 94.12% respectively expressed strong approval and approval. The demand for services such as insurance-related policy consultation, popular science on the mechanism of drug action, and assessment of the combined use of traditional Chinese and Western medicines was relatively low, with 61.65%, 68.47%, and 68.47% expressing strong approval and approval respectively. The positive influencing factors of willingness to pay were household monthly income > 5 000 yuan (OR=1.742), awareness of pharmaceutical care or pharmacists (OR=3.620), and the desire to receive pharmaceutical care (OR=4.686) (P<0.05), while self-rating health as “good” (OR=0.390) was a negative influencing factor (P<0.05). Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (54.48%) and antihypertensive drugs (45.05%) were the service scenarios that the surveyed patients most hope to be covered. 85.14% of the patients preferred “service when xiaochnye@126.com needed”, with a single service duration of less than 10 minutes being appropriate (84.43%), and the willingness to pay within 20 yuan being the main type (85.38%). CONCLUSIONS Based on the characteristics of patients’ needs and payment behaviors, it is suggested that our country could consider establishing a hierarchical payment mechanism for pharmaceutical care, and focus on differentiated design in combination with diseases and medication situations. At the same time, the rights, responsibilities and service standards of resident pharmacists in the links such as medication reorganization and medical order review should be further clarified to comprehensively enhance the clinical value and policy operability of pharmaceutical care.

Immune checkpoint blockade therapy has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in treating various malignancies; however, its clinical application remains challenged by low response rates and immune-related adverse events. Immunoglobulin superfamily member 11 (IGSF11), an inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule, serves as a specific ligand for the V-domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA). Through the IGSF11/VISTA axis, it suppresses T cell function and represents a promising novel target for cancer immunotherapy. IGSF11 is widely expressed across multiple tumor types, though its regulatory mechanisms vary depending on the malignancy. Studies have confirmed that blocking the IGSF11-VISTA interaction or specifically inhibiting IGSF11 exerts antitumor effects. While IGSF11 is closely associated with patient prognosis, its prognostic significance differs among cancer types. This review systematically summarizes the structural characteristics of IGSF11, its regulatory mechanisms, interaction with VISTA, and functional role within the tumor microenvironment.

OBJECTIVE To construct the integrated pharmaceutical care model of in-hospital pharmaceutical care+out-hospital pharmacy outpatient service for patients with lower extremity artery disease (LEAD), so as to improve patients’ disease self- management ability, and the efficacy and safety of therapy. METHODS The in-hospital pharmaceutical care and out-hospital pharmacy outpatient service model was constructed for LEAD patients, including pharmaceutical evaluation, self-management ability education, and pharmacy follow-up, to perform long-term management of patients. Totally 65 LEAD patients admitted to the vascular surgery department of our hospital, receiving pharmacist management, from September, 2021 to December, 2022 were selected as the study objects, and pharmacists conducted in-hospital pharmaceutical care+continuous out-patient management. The efficacy indicators, safety indicators, and patients’s disease self-management ability indicators were compared before and after 3 months of pharmacist management. RESULTS After 3 months of pharmacists’ participation in the management of 65 patients, Fontaine stage decreased in 55 patients, there was the significant difference in Fontaine stage before and after management (P< 0.001). The proportion of patients who completely followed the guidelines for medication increased from 63.1% to 96.9%; the incidence of small bleeding was reduced by 7.7% after pharmacists’ management. The scores of Morisky medication compliance and patients’ disease self-management ability were higher than 3 months ago (P<0.001). Patient proportion with “good” medical satisfaction increased by 18.4%. CONCLUSIONS The in-hospital pharmaceutical care and out-hospital pharmacy outpatient service model of LEAD patients can effectively improve patients’ disease self-management ability, and improve the efficacy and safety of therapy.

BACKGROUND:A large number of studies have investigated the effects of whole body vibration training at different frequencies on muscle strength,but less is reported on the differences in the efficacy of vibration training at different frequencies on patellar tendinopathy. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of eccentric training of quadriceps combined with different frequency of whole body vibration training on patellar tendinopathy. METHODS:From April to June 2022,48 patients with patellar tendinopathy were recruited from Wuhan Sports University and randomly divided into eccentric training group(n=12),30 Hz group(n=12),40 Hz group(n=12),and 50 Hz group(n=12).The eccentric training group only completed eccentric training of the quadriceps.The 30 Hz,40 Hz and 50 Hz groups performed the whole body vibration training with the amplitude of 2 mm and frequencies of 30 Hz,40 Hz and 50 Hz respectively on the basis of the eccentric training of the quadriceps.The intervention lasted for 8 weeks,three times a week.Before and after the intervention,the patients'surface electromyography signals of the quadriceps,kinematics and dynamics data of knee joint at the time of landing in deep jump and the time of peak vertical ground reaction,Visual Analogue Scale score,Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment-Patellar score were evaluated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 8 weeks of intervention,compared with the eccentric training group,the median frequency of the lateral and medial femoris muscles were significantly higher in the 40 Hz and 50 Hz groups(P<0.05).At the time of landing,the knee joint flexion angle and external rotation moment in the 40 Hz and 50 Hz groups were significantly lower than those in the eccentric training group(P<0.05),while the knee joint flexion angle in the 50 Hz group was significantly lower than that in the 30 Hz group(P<0.05).At the peak moment of vertical ground reaction,the knee extension torque in the 40 Hz group was significantly lower than that in the eccectric training group(P<0.05);the knee flexion angle and knee extension torque in the 50 Hz group were significantly lower than those in the eccentric training group(P<0.05).The Visual Analogue Scale scores in the 50 Hz and 40 Hz groups were significantly lower than those in the eccentric training group(P<0.05).The Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment-Patellar score in the 50 Hz group was significantly higher than that in the eccentric training group and 30 Hz group(P<0.05).To conclude,eccentric training of the quadriceps combined with 50 Hz whole body vibration training can significantly improve quadriceps'strength,endurance and activation rate of the vastus lateralis muscle,reduce the pain of knee joint,and improve the function of the knee joint in patients with patellar tendinopathy.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cells are pluripotent stromal cells isolated from a variety of tissues,which can differentiate into osteoblasts under certain conditions.Photobiomodulation,as an external stimulus,can promote osteogenic differentiation combined with other inducers or alone,providing new ideas for solving a series of bone diseases. OBJECTIVE:To review the relevant literature and mechanisms of photobiomodulation-induced osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells,which will lay a theoretical foundation for bone tissue engineering using mesenchymal stem cells as seed cells and may offer some suggestions for future studies. METHODS:Relevant articles were searched on CNKI,PubMed and Wed of Science databases with Chinese search terms of"photobiomodulation,low power laser,low level laser,light-emitting diode,mesenchymal stem cells,osteogenic differentiation,biomaterials"and English search terms of"photobiomodulation,low level laser(light),light-emitting diode(LED),mesenchymal stem cell,osteogenic differentiation,biomaterials".Finally,88 articles were included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Photobiomodulation represented by low level laser and diode laser has a positive effect on promoting the proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.(2)Photobiomodulation can induce osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells,whose feasibility has been verified in cell and animal experiments.On one hand,photobiomodulation can promote the expansion and differentiation of stem cells in vitro by activating related signaling pathways and up-regulating the expression of osteogenic molecules.On the other hand,photobiomodulation can improve the survival rate of stem cells in vivo,promote homing effect and shorten the healing time of bone defects after stem cells are injected into the body.However,photobiomodulation has a biphasic dose effect,whose laser parameters,experimental environment,cell type and other factors in various studies are different,making the research results lack consistency and difficult to apply in the clinic.(3)Combined with biological materials,other physical factors and drugs,photobiomodulation can also accelerate osteogenic differentiation.(4)In conclusion,photobiomodulation has been used increasingly widely in the medical field with its advantages of non-invasive,efficient and less-side reactions,and its role in bone tissue engineering has gradually become prominent,which provides a new method for the treatment of bone defects and related diseases.Further exploration should be focused on the standardized treatment parameters of photobiomodulation.

BACKGROUND:Minipigs are often used in research fields such as skin injury,vascular trauma and cosmetic medicine because they are highly similar to human beings in terms of skin tissue structure and cardiovascular system.Hydrogel as a wound repair drug possesses a variety of excellent physicochemical properties such as strong water retention and adhesion,which can provide isolation moisturization and drug release for wounds. OBJECTIVE:To summarize and conclude the progress of the application of trauma models for different experimental purposes of hydrogel therapy for minipigs,to reveal the development status of various types of minipig trauma models,to analyze the deficiencies of minipig trauma models at the present stage. METHODS:The relevant articles published in Web of Science database and CNKI database from the establishment of each database to 2023 were checked,using"piglet,miniature pig,minipig,miniature pig;gel,hydrogel;trauma,injury,wound,lesion,incision"as Chinese search terms and"Miniature Swine,Miniature pig,minipig;gel,hydrogel;injury,wound,lesion,incision"as English search terms.A total of 438 Chinese and English documents were retrieved,and 59 documents were included in the study through the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)At present,the main models used clinically for trauma repair are large animal species(dogs and pigs),rabbits,and rodents(rats and mice).Because the skin structure of the minipig is more like that of humans,the minipig is the most ideal animal model for trauma repair.(2)In the in-vitro skin injury model,skin defect model is the basic wound model,which can be divided into full skin defect model and medium-thickness skin defect model according to the depth of the wound defect.Burn wound model and infected wound model are multidimensional models with hot metal scald and bacterial culture imposed on the basis of the skin defect model,which have the advantages of high safety coefficient and low operation difficulty.(3)In the in-vivo trauma repair model,mini-pigs are used as esophageal cricothyrotomy model which is more in line with the pathological state of clinical diseases.Mini-pigs are used in the gastric perforation and vascular hemostasis model,which can visually demonstrate the stronger organ adhesion,hemostatic properties and tissue regeneration-promoting effects of the hydrogel.(4)The specific parts of the pig also has the corresponding mode of use:pig ear is usually used to evaluate the hydrogel drug delayed-release effect.Porcine cellular proteins and pig skin collagen are mostly used to prepare composite hydrogels of tissue origin.
