OBJECTIVE To introduce the Dutch system of pharmacy academic education， professional practice and continuing education， and provide new ideas for constructing a “demand-driven， industry-education integrated， and sustainably developing” Chinese-style pharmacy education system. METHODS Through literature and public data retrieval， as well as collection of field visit materials， the study systematically combed the stage characteristics， institutional design， and innovative practices of Dutch pharmacy education， extracted its features and advantages， and proposed suggestions for pharmacy education reform in China. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The Dutch pharmacy academic education system is characterized by stepped competency-based training， integrating basic theory with early clinical practice at the undergraduate level， emphasizing specialized division of labor and strengthening clinical competence at the master’s level， and promoting industry-university-research collaborative innovation at the doctoral level. The practice qualification certification and continuing education exhibit multi-dimensional synergy. Specifically， the practice qualification certification process adheres to the guiding principle of “evidence-based competency”， implementing an access system centered on competency assessment， which requires passing national examinations and registration. The continuing education for hospital pharmacists is guided by patient safety， while continuing education for community pharmacists and other pharmacists （such as industrial pharmacists， regulatory science pharmacists， etc.） is guided by the frameworks of “digital situational learning” and a “triple tracks encompassing industry， regulation， and emerging fields”， respectively. China may draw on the five-dimensional path of Dutch pharmacy education in “early integration， vertical coherence， unified standards， industry-university-research collaboration， and intelligent empowerment” to reform its pharmacy education in aspects such as curriculum design， credit systems， evaluation criteria， training models， and training methods， aiming to cultivate pharmacy professionals aligned with China’s practical E-mail：cqqianyan@hospital.cqmu.edu.cn requirements.

The bidirectional closed-loop motor imagery brain-computer interface (MI-BCI) is an emerging method for active rehabilitation training of motor dysfunction, extensively tested in both laboratory and clinical settings. However, no standardized method for evaluating its rehabilitation efficacy has been established, and relevant literature remains limited. To facilitate the clinical translation of bidirectional closed-loop MI-BCI, this article first introduced its fundamental principles, reviewed the rehabilitation training cycle and methods for evaluating rehabilitation efficacy, and summarized approaches for evaluating system usability, user satisfaction and usage. Finally, the challenges associated with evaluating the rehabilitation efficacy of bidirectional closed-loop MI-BCI were discussed, aiming to promote its broader adoption and standardization in clinical practice.

Artificial intelligence-enhanced brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are expected to significantly improve the performance of traditional BCIs in multiple aspects, including usability, user experience, and user satisfaction, particularly in terms of intelligence. However, such AI-integrated or AI-based BCI systems may introduce new ethical issues. This paper first evaluated the potential of AI technology, especially deep learning, in enhancing the performance of BCI systems, including improving decoding accuracy, information transfer rate, real-time performance, and adaptability. Building on this, it was considered that AI-enhanced BCI systems might introduce new or more severe ethical issues compared to traditional BCI systems. These include the possibility of making users' intentions and behaviors more predictable and manipulable, as well as the increased likelihood of technological abuse. The discussion also addressed measures to mitigate the ethical risks associated with these issues. It is hoped that this paper will promote a deeper understanding and reflection on the ethical risks and corresponding regulations of AI-enhanced BCIs.

Cholesterol is an essential molecule for the biosynthesis of cell membranes and cell proliferation and differentiation,and the liver plays a central role in cholesterol metabolism and is responsible for the synthesis,uptake,secretion,and transport of cholesterol.The initial stages of cholesterol synthesis in the liver are particularly important,and abnormalities in such stages are closely associated with the progression of various liver diseases.Studies have shown that as a key rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis,3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase(HMGCR)has well-defined regulatory properties and has been confirmed as an important target for the regulation of various liver diseases.This article reviews the process of cholesterol metabolism,the degradation and regulatory mechanisms of HMGCR,and the application of inhibitors,as well as the role of HMGCR in liver diseases,in order to provide new insights for scientific research and the clinical prevention and treatment of liver diseases.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.
