OBJECTIVE To explore the transformation of the dispensing and drug pickup process in traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy (TCM Pharmacy) in our hospital based on data-intelligence-driven, aiming to improve pharmacists’ work efficiency and patients’ drug pickup experience. METHODS Value stream mapping and journey mapping were used to systematically identify non-value-added links in pharmacists’ dispensing process and key pain points in patients’ drug pickup under the traditional process. An intelligent dispensing and drug pickup system for the TCM Pharmacy was developed based on the C# and Android television platforms, and a machine-learning model was adopted to predict patients’ drug pickup waiting time. A comprehensive evaluation was performed from three perspectives: system performance, prediction accuracy, and satisfaction of pharmacists and patients. RESULTS The system successfully streamlined non-value-added links such as “waiting for writing on the board” and “searching for drugs”, and realized multimodal dynamic prompts of dispensing status through auditory (number calling) and visual (television terminal) channels. The constructed model for predicting drug pickup waiting time exhibited good fitting degree and generalization ability (mean absolute error=4.28 min, R 2 =0.882). The comprehensive satisfaction scores of pharmacists and patients in the traditional mode were significantly increased from (70.99±1.74) and (73.58±1.98) to (90.02±1.30) and (88.61±2.08) in the new system, respectively ( P <0.01). CONCLUSIONS The transformation of the intelligent drug dispensing and pickup system for TCM pharmacy based on data-intelligence-driven effectively improves the efficiency of pharmacists’ dispensing work, realizes process transparency and waiting time predictability, and significantly enhances patients’ drug pickup experience.

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 establish an evaluation model for the radon reduction effect of activated carbon adsorption in localized underground spaces, to guide the rational application of the activated carbon adsorption method for radon reduction in localized underground spaces.Methods:For both intermittent and continuous adsorption-based radon reduction method in localized underground spaces, a theoretical model was constructed for evaluating the of radon reduction effec. By means of this modle, the influence factors on the radon reduction effect were analyzed such as radon concentration, space volume, and air exchange rate with the external environment. Experimental validation of the theoretical model was conducted under typical conditions.Results:The radon exhalation rate from concrete surface in localized underground spaces was inversely linear relationship with the indoor radon concentration. However, the slope of this relationship was very small: when the radon concentration decreased from 2 018 Bq/m 3 to 0, the exhalation rate only increased slightly from 4.20 to 4.46 Bq·m -2·h -1, indicating a minimal change. At the same air exchange rate and in the same space volume, the initial radon concentration had little impact on the adsorption-based radon reduction effect, thus suggesting that the radon generation rate from the enclosure surface could be negligible in the evaluation. In contrast, the adsorption flow rate of a radon reduction device and the air exchange rate between the localized spaces and surrounding environment had significant fluence on radon reduction effect. In the same sealed space and at the same adsorption flow rate, the difference in effect between intermittent and continuous adsorption method was of insignificance. However, in localized spaces with connectivity to surrounding environment, the continuous adsorption significantly outperforms intermittent adsorption, achieving faster radon reduction and better suitability for larger spaces. Simulated experiments validated that the theoretical model for evaluating adsorption-based radon reduction effect was reliable. Conclusions:The research findings provide theoretical guidance on selecting appropriate adsorption-based radon reduction devices for localized underground spaces of different volumes and varing connectivity conditions, in order to reduce the radon concentration within localized spaces to expected levels.
