OBJECTIVE To establish a Chinese drug-related problem （DRP） classification system applicable to pharmacist-led pharmaceutical care in China， providing pharmacists with an effective and practical tool for pharmaceutical care. METHODS A multi-stage process was employed to construct the DRP classification system， including literature review and analysis， comparison of existing classification systems， refinement of classification items and framework development， two rounds of standard case validation， expert discussion， and system revision. The Fleiss′ kappa test was used to calculate the consistency coefficient κ， assessing the reliability of pharmacists participating in evaluating the classification system. An electronic questionnaire comprising six items was employed to evaluate the system’s applicability. RESULTS The constructed Chinese DRP classification system comprised six sections [problem（including potential problems）， DRP evaluation， cause （including possible causes of potential problems）， intervention， acceptance of intervention and DRP status]， with 24 primary codes and 96 secondary codes. In the first round of case validation， κ values exceeded 0.4 for all sections except “intervention” and “DRP status”. In the second round， κ values exceeded 0.4 for all sections. In the applicability evaluation of the classification system， positive ratings （“strongly agree” or “agree”） exceeded 85% for all items. Specifically， positive ratings for“the classification system can provide appropriate category selection”，“ the classification system is comprehensive”，“ the classification system is convenient to use” and “the classification system is highly satisfactory” exceeded 92%. CONCLUSIONS The Chinese DRP classification system developed demonstrates both high reliability and applicability， providing an effective and practical classification tool for pharmacists in China to conduct pharmaceutical care.

Aim To investigate the effects of sodium lactate(NALA)on right heart failure induced by monocrotaline(MCT)-induced pulmonary arterial hy-pertension in rats and to reveal the underlying mecha-nisms.Methods Forty male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly allocated into four groups,with ten rats in each group,namely,MCT group,NALA group,and NALA+MCT group;the MCT and NALA+MCT groups were administered a single intraperito-neal injection of MCT at 60 mg·kg-1 to induce pul-monary hypertension,and one week later,the NALA and NALA+MCT groups received intraperitoneal in-jections of NALA at 0.1 g·kg-1(once a day,for 5 weeks),while the CON and MCT groups received e-qual volumes of physiological saline(once a day,for 5 weeks);right heart function was assessed using echo-cardiography,right ventricular and pulmonary artery remodeling were evaluated via histopathological sec-tions,and the expression levels of ANP,BNP,and in-flammatory factors were measured by ELISA,along with assessments of oxidative stress levels,Western blot detection of the expression levels of proteins in the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.Results Compared to the CON group,the MCT group exhibited increased RVSP and RVHI,decreased right heart function,in-creased collagen fiber deposition,and elevated oxida-tive stress and inflammatory factor expression,and the expression levels of proteins in the TLR4/NF-κB signa-ling pathway increased(P＜0.05);compared to the MCT group,the NALA+MCT group showed reduced RVSP and RVHI,improved right heart function,atten-uated pulmonary vascular remodeling,decreased ex-pression of ANP,BNP,inflammatory factors,and H2O2,along with increased antioxidant enzyme expres-sion,and the expression levels of proteins in the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion NALA can inhibit right ventric-ular remodeling in rats with pulmonary hypertension,and the underlying mechanism may involve the allevia-tion of inflammatory responses and oxidative stress through the inhibition of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To evaluate the value of high-resolution computed tomography(HRCT)signs combined with artificial intelligence(AI)quantitative indexes in differentiating mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP)from bacterial pneumonia(BP)in adults.Methods A total of 100 patients with adult MPP and 100 with adult BP were selected.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent factors that contribute to the differentiation of these two types of pneumonia.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and area under the curve(AUC)were employed to evaluate the discrimination ability of the two types of pneumonia.Results A comparison of gender and age between the two groups revealed statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).A comparison of bronchial wall thickening,bud sign,and solid shadows between the two groups yielded statistically significant differences(P＜0.05),while small nodules did not(P＞0.05).AI-based quantification revealed significant differences in distribution of inflammatory foci,consolidation/total lesion ratio,ground-glass opacity(GGO)/total lesion ratio,consolidation density,and GGO density(P＜0.05).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that left upper lobe(％),left lower lobe(％),right upper lobe(％),right middle lobe(％),and right lower lobe(％)were independent factors that contributed to the identification of the two types of pneumonia.The AUC for HRCT signs alone,AI quantitative indexes alone,and HRCT signs combined with AI quantitative indexes in differentiating the two types of pneumonia were 0.715[95％confidence interval(CI)0.643-0.787],0.822(95％CI 0.764-0.881),and 0.853(95％CI 0.801-0.905),respectively.The utilization of HRCT signs combined with AI quantitative indexes had been demonstrated to possess a substantial capacity to accurately identify two types of pneumonia.Conclusion HRCT signs combined with AI quantitative indexes can improve the accuracy of differentiating MPP from BP in adults.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of shoulder work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among occupational population in China, and to explore their intrinsic association with personal and work-related factors.Methods:In April 2024, 73497 valid questionnaires of the Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Electronic Questionnaire were retrospectively analyzed from June 2018 to December 2023 in 22 provinces and 29 key industries in China, and the general information, occurrence of WMSDs and related risk factors of key occupational populations in different regions in China were collected. By using Chi-square test and confirmatory factor analysis, the relationship between shoulder fatigue and pain in key occupational groups and individual factors, work type, work posture and work organization was discussed, and the internal relationship was analyzed based on structural equation model.Results:Higher incidence of shoulder fatigue and pain were associated with female, lack of physical exercise, uncomfortable working posture and neck leaning forward ( P<0.05). Structural equation model analysis showed that work type, work posture and work organization were strongly correlated ( r=0.58, 0.55). Work organization and work type were strongly correlated with shoulder fatigue ( r=0.65) and moderately correlated with shoulder fatigue ( r=0.21). Shoulder fatigue was moderately associated with shoulder pain ( r=0.40). Individual factors, work type, work posture and shoulder fatigue could directly affect shoulder pain ( OR=0.07, -0.09, 0.17 and 0.40), and work type and work posture could also indirectly affect shoulder pain through shoulder fatigue ( OR=0.08, 0.03). Work organization only indirectly affected shoulder pain through shoulder fatigue ( OR=0.26) . Conclusion:The main influencing factor of shoulder pain is shoulder fatigue, followed by work posture and individual factors. Structural equation model can better reflect the complex relationship between work type, work posture and work organization and shoulder WMSDs. Improving work posture and work organization may be an effective way to control the influence of shoulder fatigue on shoulder pain.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features, pathologic characteristics, treatment and prognosis of primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) in children.Methods:Clinical data including clinical manifestations, treatment, clinical efficacy of 8 cases of childhood PMBCL treated in Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2017 to February 2024 were collected retrospectively, the clinical characteristics and prognosis of them were summarized.Results:Among the 8 children, there were 5 males and 3 females. The age at the time of initial diagnosis was 11.0 (10.3, 13.5) years. The first clinical symptoms were cough (8 cases) and stridor (6 cases). The lesions most often involved the mediastinum (8 cases), lungs (5 cases, hilum more often), pericardium (5 cases), and pleura (4 cases). Extra thoracic invasion was present in 4 cases, 7 cases had huge tumor lesions and 7 cases were phase Ⅲ clinical stage. Except for 1 case who underwent surgical resection of the tumor, the remaining 7 cases were treated with DA-EPOCH+R (dose adjusted-etoposide+prednisone+vincristine+cyclo-phosphamide+doxorubicin+rituximab) chemotherapy. The follow-up time was 25.0 (10.5, 43.3) months, with 7 cases in complete and partial metabolism response, 1 case had disease progression. All 8 cases survived.Conclusions:PMBCL is most common in school-age boys and most of them present with huge mediastinal tumor focus. PMBCL expresses B-cell spectrum antigens and weakly expresses CD30.The application of DA-EPOCH+R is effective in the treatment of PMBCL in children.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical characteristics, pathology, treatment and prognosis of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) in children.Methods:Clinical data (including gender, age of disease onset, affected sites, treatment, timing of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), etc.) of 7 children with BPDCN who were admitted to Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from December 2018 to December 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. Clinical outcomes were also assessed, with patients followed up until December 2024.Results:Among 7 patients, there were 3 males and 4 females. Age at disease onset ranged from 3.2 to 12.9 years. Initial presentations included subcutaneous nodules in 5 cases, rash in 1 case, and ankle pain in 1 case. Extra-cutaneous involvement was seen in the bone marrow, lymph nodes, and central nervous system. Six patients received induction chemotherapy using a modified lymphoblastic lymphoma regimen, 1 patient received the high-risk protocol for pediatric lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia and salvage therapy regimens. Allo-HSCT was performed soon after chemotherapy remission. The time to bridge allo-HSCT was 3.5 to 6.5 months. The follow-up time was 1.6 to 6.0 years. Six patients were in disease-free survival, while 1 patient survived with disease after recurrence following transplantation.Conclusions:BPDCN is rare in children and presents diverse clinical manifestations, with skin involvement being the predominant feature. Early allo-HSCT following complete remission with chemotherapy can improve prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of lumbar spondylolysis (LS) and the proportion of spondylolytic spondylolisthesis (SS) in China, and to evaluate the musculoskeletal status of patients with LS and SS. METHODS: Spine Computed Tomography (CT) images were collected from community populations aged 40 and above in a nationwide multi-center project. LS was diagnosed, and SS was graded by an experienced radiologist. Bone mineral density (BMD) and paraspinal muscle parameters were quantified based on CT images. RESULTS: One hundred and seventeen patients of a total of 3,317 individuals were diagnosed with LS, corresponding to a prevalence rate of 3.53%. 63 of the 1,214 males (5.18%) and 54 of the 2,103 females (2.57%) were diagnosed with LS. SS occurred in 64/121 vertebrae (52.89%). BMD was not associated with LS ( P = 0.341). The L5 extensor paraspinal muscle density was higher in the LS group than in the non-LS group. In the LS group, patients with SS had a smaller L5 paraspinal extensor muscle cross-sectional area than those without SS ( P = 0.003). CONCLUSION The prevalence of LS in Chinese adults was 3.53%, with prevalence rates of 5.18% in males and 2.57% in females. Patients with LS have higher muscle density, whereas those with SS have smaller muscle cross-sectional areas at the L5 level.
