Objective To explore the application effect of a standardized management method based on failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) in optimizing the whole-process quality control system of the intravenous admixture service (PIVAS). Methods The quality control management system of the PIVAS was optimized by establishing six quality control groups led by the head nurse, with full participation of pharmacy, nursing, and logistical staff, ensuring comprehensive coverage and traceability of all quality control links. Each group conducted risk priority number (RPN) scoring for potential failure modes in their respective quality control processes, and targeted improvement measures were formulated based on the scoring results. The RPN values of failure modes and quality control-related evaluation indicators before and after implementation were compared to achieve closed-loop management. Results After one year of management, the RPN values of the six major failure modes significantly decreased compared to those before implementation (P<0.05). The compounding error rate dropped to 0.13%, the dispensing error rate decreased to 0.95%, the compounding efficiency increased to 98%, the delivery time was shortened by 0.45 h per batch, the intervention rate for irrational prescriptions rose to 94.87%, satisfaction improved to 96.78%, and the participation rate of quality control personnel reached 95.36% (P<0.05). Conclusion FMEA-based identification of potential failure modes in the whole-process quality control system of the IVAS, combined with risk quantification and targeted interventions, significantly reduced high-risk failure modes, improved compounding accuracy and efficiency, and ensured the safety of clinical intravenous medication and the effectiveness of healthcare quality management.

With the rapid development of mobile internet technology, mobile health application (mHealth APP) are increasingly widely used in the field of health management and have been proven to play an important role in the management of chronic diseases. Solid organ transplant recipients face complex health management needs after surgery, including postoperative follow-up, medication management, prevention and treatment of complications and comorbidities, and lifestyle adjustment. mHealth APP can provide solid organ transplant recipients with convenient self-management tools. Although some progress has been made in this field, there are still many challenges, such as insufficient user experience, technological dependence, and data security risks. Therefore, this article discusses the development process, main functions and current application status of mHealth APP, and analyzes its advantages in improving the self-management ability of solid organ transplant recipients, promoting doctor-patient communication and reducing the incidence of complications. At the same time, based on the practical experience of author’s team in developing the “TransMate” mHealth APP, we propose the directions that mHealth APPs should focus on in the future, in order to provide more effective support and services for the health management of solid organ transplant recipients.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of Polygala tenuifolia compatibility on toxicity, anti-inflammatory and analgesic efficacy of sand-ironing Strychnos nux-vomica (SS). METHODS The preparation of SS single decoction, SS-P. tenuifolia core-removed (PC) (1∶2.5) or (1∶5) combined decoction, and SS-PC (1∶5) mixture were carried out to investigate their median lethal dose (LD50). Using aspirin as positive control, the number of writhing movements, analgesic rate, pain latency, ear swelling degree and inflammation inhibition rate induced by the above-mentioned medicinal liquids in mice were compared. The contents of the active and toxic components, strychnine and brucine, in the above-mentioned medicinal liquids were also determined. RESULTS The LD50 values of SS single decoction, SS-PC (1∶2.5) combined decoction, SS-PC (1∶5) combined decoction and SS- PC (1∶5) mixture were 302.00, 614.47, 1 445.44 and 1 778.28 mg/kg, respectively. Compared with control group, the number of writhing movements and ear swelling degree in the mice of the above-mentioned medicinal liquid groups were reduced or decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01); pain latency [at 90 and 120 minutes in the SS single decoction group, at 60 and 90 minutes in the SS-PC (1∶2.5) combined decoction group, and at 60,90, 120 minutes in the SS-PC (1∶5) combined decoction group and SS-PC (1∶5) mixture group] was significantly prolonged (P<0.05 or P<0.01); analgesic rates of the respective medicinal liquids were 39.30%, 70.87%, 80.00% and 82.46%, and inflammation inhibition rates were 38.08%,TD 57.89%, 76.47% and 50.46%; analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of combined decoction and mixture were generally better than those of the single decoction (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In the above-mentioned four medicinal liquids, the total contents of strychnine were 0.71%, 0.42%, 0.47% and 0.64%, and the total contents of brucine were 0.88%, 0.63%, 0.57% and 0.88%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The combination of P. tenuifolia can reduce the toxicity of SS and enhance its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Moreover, there is a tendency for the toxicity-reducing and efficacy-enhancing effects to increase with the increasing dosage of P. tenuifolia. Additionally, the combined decoction of SS and P. tenuifolia can reduce the contents of the active and toxic components, strychnine and brucine, in SS.

Objective To investigate the effect of polymyxin B(PMB)combined with tigecycline(TGC)on delaying Klebsiella pneumoniae(KP)resistance to PMB,and to analyze the possible mechanisms involved in the induction and delay of resistance.Methods Six clinical isolates of KP strains from the Intensive Care Unit of First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University were subjected and then induced with PMB at 1/2 minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC)alone or combined with TGC at 1/2 and 1/4 MIC,respectively.The MIC changes of PMB in these strains were monitored over 14 consecutive passages.The strain 686K,which showed the most significant delay in resistance,was selected for further analysis.Differences in gene and protein expression were examined among the wild-type strain 686K,PMB-induced resistant strain(686K·R),and PMB combined with TGC delayed resistant strain(686K·DR)using transcriptome sequencing,qRT-PCR,and proteomics.Relevant target genes during the delay of resistance were analyzed through literature and bioinformatics analyses.Additionally,cpxR gene knockout strain 686K/ΔcpxR∷Apr and its complementation strain 686K/ΔcpxR∷Apr/pRK415-cpxR were constructed using homologous recombination technology to assess the expression levels of resistance-related genes and changes in MIC after induction in vitro.Results Under sub-MIC(1/2)PMB alone,resistance developed in all 6 KP strains within 2 d,while,the combination with TGC significantly delayed the development of resistance.Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses indicated that in strain 686K·R,the expression levels of the PhoP/Q two-component system,lipopolysaccharide(LPS)modification enzymes,and efflux pump systems were significantly up-regulated(|Log2FC|≥2,P<0.0001),while TGC co-administration markedly inhibited these expression changes.The cpxR deletion and complementation strains were successfully constructed.The expression levels of resistance-related genes phoP,pmrD,and acrA were decreased in the cpxR deletion strain(P<0.001),and the resistance was delayed until day 6 under PMB monotherapy,whereas the complementation strain restored the resistance phenotype by day 2.In the absence of cpxR,the effect of PMB when combined with TGC on delaying resistance did not differ from that observed with PMB monotherapy.Conclusion The combination of PMB and TGC can delay KP resistance to PMB.cpxR,as a critical regulatory factor,can impact PMB resistance by modulating LPS modifications and the expression of the AcrAB-TolC efflux pump,and plays an important regulatory role in the process of resistance induction.
