OBJECTIVE To develop a risk screening scale for medication adherence in anticoagulated patients and evaluate its reliability and validity， thereby providing an assessment tool for identifying medication adherence risks during anticoagulant therapy and implementing individualized interventions.METHODS Based on the protection motivation theory， a preliminary scale containing 20 items was developed through literature analysis， semi-structured interviews， expert consultation and a pilot survey. Convenience sampling was used to distribute questionnaires to patients receiving anticoagulant therapy at multiple medical institutions. Item analysis was conducted to select items. Exploratory factor analysis （EFA） and confirmatory factor analysis （CFA） were used to assess construct validity and further screen items. The New General Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form （NGSES-SF） was used to assess criterion-related validity， and the internal consistency and split-half reliability of the scale were evaluated.RESULTS A total of 425 questionnaires were distributed， and 411 valid questionnaires were recovered， yielding an effective recovery rate of 96.71%. The final scale consisted of four dimensions：perceived severity， perceived susceptibility， response efficacy and self-efficacy， with a total of 11 items. EFA extracted four common factors， with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 68.805%. CFA showed the Chi-square degrees of freedom ratio was 1.839， the root mean square error of approximation was 0.064， the goodness-of-fit index was 0.945， the comparative fit index was 0.979， and the Tucker-Lewis index was 0.969. The total score of the scale and the scores of each dimension were significantly positively correlated with the scores of the criterion scale NGSES-SF （ P ＜0.05）， and the correlation coefficient between the total score of the scale and the total score of NGSES-SF was 0.346. The Cronbach’s α coefficient for internal consistency was 0.878， and the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.743.CONCLUSIONS The medication adherence risk screening scale for patients on anticoagulant therapy constructed in this study demonstrated good reliability and validity， which can be used to screen for medication adherence risk in patients on anticoagulant therapy， and serve as an assessment tool for stratified targeted interventions in clinical practice.

An 82-year-old female patient with atrial fibrillation and heart failure was treated with dabigatran etexilate 110 mg twice daily for 6 years. Two months ago, the patient′s lower limb edema was aggravated and urine output was reduced. Considering the worsening of the patient′s heart failure, torasemide tablets and spironolactone tablets were given, but her symptoms were not improved. Two days ago, the patient had scattered petechiae on the whole skin, tarry stools, and reduced urine (200 ml daily). Laboratory tests showed hemoglobin (Hb) 63 g/l, prothrombin time (PT) 39.5 s, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) 117.2 s, thrombin time (TT) >300 s, and international normalized ratio (INR) 3.64; the fibrinogen (Fib) could not be measured. Coagulation dysfunction and gastrointestinal bleeding caused by dabigatran etexilate were considered. Dabigatran etexilate was discontinued, and intravenous infusion of idarucizumab injection (2.5 g) was given twice. Then gastrointestinal bleeding in the patient disappeared and laboratory tests showed PT 12.7 s, APTT 42.4 s, TT 18.8 s, INR 1.18, and Fib 2.67 g/L. After 8 days, the patient′s cardiac function was improved, the skin ecchymosis subsided, and laboratory tests showed Hb 84 g/L, PT 14 s, APTT 37.8 s, TT 41.2 s, INR 1.3, Fib 2.26 g/L, and negative fecal occult blood test.

Quantum dot-based single-virus tracking has become a practical method to explore the molecular mechanism of virus entry into cells,because it can realize virion imaging in living cells.Mink enteritis virus(MEV)is a single-stranded DNA virus with strong environmental resistance,which has caused huge economic losses for the global mink farming industry.Although epidemio-logic and clinical aspects of MEVs have been studied,the mechanisms by which it infect target cells remain unclear.In this study,we implemented quantum dot labeling of mink enteritis virus u-sing the biotin-streptomycin affinity system and monitored the viral infection process in host cells.We found that MEV first attaches to the cell membrane and enters the cell by endocytosis.Live cell images showed quantum dot(QD)-MEV movement along microtubules,and viral infection was also inhibited by treatment with the microtubule inhibitor nocodazole,whereas the addition of the microfilament inhibitor CytoD had no effect on infection,suggesting that MEV transport is de-pendent on microtubules rather than microfilaments.Another imaging results showed that MEV co-localized with Rab5 and Rab7 in host cells,suggesting that the endosomal system is required for MEV internalization.Biochemical analyses showed that viral infection was significantly inhibited after pretreatment of host cells with the endosomal acidification inhibitors NH4 Cl and chloro-quine,suggesting that MEV invasion requires an acidic environment in the endosomes.Our results indicated that MEV enters early and late endosomes after entering the cell membrane,and that in-tracellular translocation is microtubule-dependent,which may in turn uncover a novel target for antiviral treatment.

OBJECTIVE To study on the identification of traditional Chinese medicine of Macleaya cordata(M. cordata) and its similar varieties. METHODS By consulting the ancient herbal books and modern literature, this paper systematically combs and studies the M. cordata. The morphological identification, microscopic identification, physiochemical identification, molecular identification were used to identify M. cordata and its similar varieties. RESULTS Obtained M. cordata herbal textual research data. There were some differences between M. cordata and Macleaya microcarpa(M. microcarpa) and other similar varieties in traits, microscopic, physicochemical and molecular characteristics. Molecular identification results showed that the length of the rbcL gene of M. cordata were 600 bp to 603 bp, with the average GC content ranging from 43.95% to 44.28%. There were significant differences in the variation sites between M. cordata and other similar varieties, and the variation sites with M. microcarpa were the least. The interspecific genetic distance between M. cordata and its similar varieties was greater than its maximum intraspecific genetic distance. NJ analysis results of rbcL could effectively distinguish M. cordata from other similar varieties accurately and quickly. There were significant differences in the secondary structure of rbcL between M. cordata and its similar varieties. CONCLUSION The traditional Chinese medicine identification methods of M. cordata, M. microcarpa and other similar varieties are constructed, which provides experimental basis for the variety identification of M. cordata and the subsequent development of traditional Chinese medicine resources.

A 63-year-old female patient with multiple systemic metastases from lung adenocarcinoma was treated with befotertinib (75 mg orally once daily) and other symptomatic supportive treatments. Before treatments, her platelet count (PLT) was 177×10 9/L. After 35 days of medication, the patient had a transient loss of consciousness with chest tightness and shortness of breath. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography showed multiple embolism in bilateral pulmonary arteries. Laboratory tests showed that D-dimer was 35.16 g/L, and PLT was 34×10 9/L. The pulmonary embolism and throm-bocytopenia were considered to be caused possibly by befotertinib. Befotertinib was stopped, and enoxaparin sodium injection and rivaroxaban were given successively for anticoagulation. Thirteen days later, the chest tightness and shortness of breath were significantly improved, D-dimer was 0.57 g/L, and the PLT was 123×10 9/L.

OBJECTIVE To build a standardized simulation teaching system for resident pharmacists and evaluate its effects， and to provide reference for improving the competency of resident pharmacists. METHODS The established simulation teaching system for pharmacy residents’ standardized training in the study included revising the simulation teaching syllabus， setting up simulation teaching courses， implementing the teaching method through “six types of simulations”， applying objective structured clinical examination （OSCE） for assessment， building a simulation teaching team and strengthening the simulation teaching management. The effect evaluation was perfermed with mixed research method， and qualitative and quantitative research methods were used to collect and analyze data and information. RESULTS ＆＆CONCLUSIONS Compared with the traditional teaching system， the passing rate of graduation examination （71.4% vs. 100%） and the score of after-department examination （[ 76.2±7.8） vs. （90.4±4.9）] under the simulation teaching mode were higher； through questionnaire surveys and qualitative interviews， we found that resident pharmacists who went through simulation teaching gave positive feedback on the role and impact of this system. The simulation teaching system can be used with good generalizability for the standardized training of resident pharmacists， and can provide strong basis and support for the high-quality development of hospital pharmacy.
