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.

Objective:
To determine the association between exposure to entertainment screen content on mobile phones and symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students,so as to provide evidence for mental health interventions.
Methods:
A baseline survey was conducted from April to May 2019. A total of 1 135 college students were selected from one university each in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province and Hefei City, Anhui Province using cluster random sampling method. A follow up study was conducted in November 2019, resulting in 1 110 matched valid responses. Self rating questionnaires were used to assess the exposure of entertainment screen content. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21(DASS-21) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used to evaluate the anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students. A multivariate binary Logistic regression model was constructed following initial intergroup comparisons with Chi-square test to determine the association between baseline exposure to mobile entertainment screen content and the risk of symptoms of anxiety depression co-morbidity at baseline and the 6 month follow up.
Results:
The prevalence rates of symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students were 25.4% and 20.6% at baseline and follow up, respectively.After adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, self rated family economic status and self rated health status, the results of multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the appropriate exposure level group, the exposure of entertainment screen content on mobile phones at baseline, including frequent exposure to reading( OR =1.65,95% CI =1.14-2.39), occasional exposure to other entertainment screen content ( OR =1.46,95% CI =1.01-2.10)and frequent exposure to other entertainment screen content( OR =1.76,95% CI =1.20-2.60), increased the co-occurrence risk of symptoms of anxiety-depression co-morbidity among college students during the follow up period (all P <0.05).
Conclusion
Occasional or frequert exposure to mobile entertainment screen content can increase the risk of symptoms of anxiety depression co-morbidity among college students.

Objective:
To investigate the association between screening detected myopia in primary school students and mixed exposure to air pollutants, so as to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents.
Methods:
From May to July 2023, a cluster random sampling method was used to select 15 102 primary school students in grades 3 through 6 from Hefei, Zhongshan, Shenyang, and Nanchang citys. Data were collected through questionnaires, distance vision screening, and computerized refraction. Monthly average concentration data for particulate matter (PM 10 ), fine particulate matter (PM 2. 5), NO 2 and SO 2 were used to calculate the annual average pollutant concentrations for primary school students. Quantile g computation model was employed to analyze the association between mixed exposure to air pollutants and screening detected myopia.
Results:
The differences in concentrations of the four pollutants among cities were statistically significant ( H =12 886.0, 13 285.0, 8 559.0, 13 181.0, all P <0.01). In the overall sample, there was no statistically significant association between combined exposure to air pollutants and the risk of myopia ( β=0.033, 95%CI=-0.004-0.072, P =0.08). Stratified analysis by outdoor activity time showed that among primary school students with outdoor activity time ≤1 h/d, mixed exposure to air pollutants was positively associated with the risk of myopia ( β=0.050, 95%CI=0.002-0.099, P =0.04); after stratification by city, combined exposure to air pollutants was significantly associated with the risk of myopia among primary school students in Nanchang and Shenyang [ β (95% CI )= 0.232(0.175-0.289), 0.080(0.006-0.155), both P <0.05], whereas no statistically significant association was observed among primary school students in Hefei and Zhongshan [ β (95% CI )=-0.010(-0.071-0.051), -0.032(-0.167-0.102), both P > 0.05 ].
Conclusions
Exposure to multiple air pollutants may increase the risk of myopia in primary school students, with the risk influenced by time spent outdoors and geographical location. It is recommended that outdoor activity management for children be strengthened in areas with higher air pollution levels, and that environmental factors be incorporated into comprehensive myopia prevention and control strategies.

Objective:To evaluate the association between pre-pregnancy urolithiasis and pre-eclampsia and to further explore the mediating effect of hyperuricemia in early pregnancy on the relationship between urolithiasis and pre-eclampsia.Methods:Pregnant women attending prenatal care in early pregnancy at 7 Maternal and Child Health Hospitals in Hunan Province from August 2014 to December 2019 were recruited to construct a cohort of early pregnancy. The paper questionnaire collected demographic data on pregnant women, pre-pregnancy disease history, and living habits, etc. Besides, the early pregnancy laboratory examination and pregnancy outcome for this pregnancy were derived from the hospital's electronic medical record system. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between pre-pregnancy urolithiasis and pre-eclampsia, and causal mediation analysis was used to investigate the mediating role and magnitude of hyperuricemia in early pregnancy in the association pathway between pre-pregnancy urolithiasis and pre-eclampsia. Results:A total of 33 579 naturally conceived singleton pregnant women were included in the analysis, of which 3 230 cases (9.6%) had hyperuricemia in early pregnancy, and 666 cases (2.0%) had pre-eclampsia. The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that pre-pregnancy urolithiasis increased the risk of pre-eclampsia ( OR=2.65, 95% CI: 1.56-4.51). Mediation analysis showed that after controlling for confounders, hyperuricemia in early pregnancy could mediate the association between pre-pregnancy urolithiasis and pre-eclampsia, with a mediation effect proportion of 46% ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Pre-pregnancy urolithiasis is an independent risk factor for pre-eclampsia, and early pregnancy hyperuricemia has a certain mediating effect between urolithiasis and pre-eclampsia.

Objective:To analyze the imaging features of testicular conventional ultrasonography(US),shear wave elastography(SWE),and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS)in subtypes of spermatogenic dysfunction(focal,arrest,and exhausted),and to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of testicular multimodal ultrasound.Methods:A prospective study enrolled 310 spermatogenic dysfunction patients(focal type group: n=77,arrest type group: n=20,exhaustive type group: n=213)and 30 healthy volunteers(control group)at Shanghai General Hospital between October 2023 and December 2024. All patients underwent preoperative testicular US,SWE,and CEUS examinations,followed by microdissection testicular sperm extraction. Ultrasound parameters were compared among groups,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted to assess the diagnostic efficacy of multimodal ultrasound for different subtypes. Results:①Testicular volume:The arrest group exhibited significantly greater volume compared to the focal group and the exhausted group(all P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed between the arrest group and the normal group( P>0.05). ②Mean Young's modulus(Emean):The arrest group exhibited significantly lower Emean compared with both the focal and exhausted groups(all P<0.05),but showed no significant difference versus the normal group( P>0.05). ③CEUS quantitative parameters:The arrival time(AT)and time to peak(TTP)in the exhausted group were higher than those in the normal group,while the peak intensity(PI)and area under the time-intensity curve(AUC)were lower(all P<0.05). No significant differences were found in AT,TTP,or AUC among the three spermatogenic dysfunction subgroups(all P>0.05). ④CEUS perfusion patterns:The focal group predominantly exhibited a mottled pattern(70.13%,54/77). Both the arrest group(90.00%,18/20)and the normal group(93.33%,28/30)predominantly exhibited an rich pattern. The exhausted group predominantly exhibited a sparse pattern(56.34%,120/213). ⑤ROC curve analysis showed that for differentiating the arrest group from the focal type group and the exhaustive type group,the combination of Emean,testicular volume,and CEUS perfusion pattern yielded an AUC of 0.931,with a sensitivity of 95.00% and specificity of 85.86%. For differentiating the focal type group from the exhaustive type group,the combination of testicular echogenicity,CEUS perfusion pattern,and Emean yielded an AUC of 0.833,with a sensitivity of 81.82% and specificity of 75.12%. Conclusions:Multimodal ultrasonography can comprehensively characterize the imaging features of different subtypes of spermatogenic dysfunction,holding promise as a noninvasive predictive tool.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of the Chinese visceral adiposity index(CVAI)and the Triglyceride-Glucose(TyG)index on the risk of hypertension among the elderly in the Zhengxiangbai Banner community of Inner Mongolia.Methods:This study selected elderly individuals who underwent physical examinations at the community health service center in Zhengxiangbai Banner, Inner Mongolia, from January 2024 to July 2024 as the study population.Based on the diagnostic criteria for hypertension, participants were divided into hypertensive and non-hypertensive groups.Data on demographics, body mass index(BMI), waist circumference(WC), fasting blood glucose(FSG), and blood lipids were collected.The CVAI, TyG, Triglyceride Glucose-Body Waist Circumference(TyG-WC), and Triglyceride Glucose-Body Mass Index(TyG-BMI)were calculated.Subjects were categorized into quartiles(1st to 4th)based on CVAI, TyG, TyG-WC, and TyG-BMI.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to explore the relationship between these indicators and the risk of hypertension in the elderly.Results:This study included a total of 3, 319 elderly subjects, comprising 1, 743 individuals in the hypertensive group and 1, 576 in the non-hypertensive group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the fourth quartile of the CVAI was a risk factor for hypertension when compared to the first quartile.Additionally, the second, third, and fourth quartiles of the TyG-BMI were identified as risk factors for hypertension relative to the first quartile.The analysis of the correlation strength between various obesity indexes and hypertension revealed that CVAI, TyG-WC, and TyG-BMI were independently correlated with the risk of hypertension.Notably, TyG-BMI exhibited a stronger association with hypertension( OR=1.006, 95% CI: 1.004-1.008).ROC curve analysis demonstrated that TyG-BMI possessed superior predictive ability for hypertension, with an AUC of 0.587(95% CI: 0.568-0.607).Furthermore, Decision Curve Analysis(DCA)also indicated that TyG-BMI had enhanced predictive capability.Further stratification by gender revealed that TyG-BMI in elderly men was independently correlated with the risk of hypertension( P<0.001), while CVAI in elderly women was independently correlated with the risk of hypertension( P<0.05).ROC curve analysis indicated that TyG-BMI in elderly men had better predictive ability for hypertension(AUC=0.582, 95% CI: 0.554~0.610).The difference in AUC compared to CVAI was statistically significant( P<0.01).DCA analysis further confirmed that TyG-BMI exhibited superior predictive ability. Conclusions:Our findings suggest that both CVAI and TyG-BMI exhibit superior predictive value for hypertension, with TyG-BMI demonstrating a particularly strong predictive capability in elderly men.
