OBJECTIVE To improve the research capacity and research enthusiasm of dispensing pharmacists in pharmacy intravenous admixture services （PIVAS）， facilitate their career development， and further promote the sustainable development of hospital pharmacy disciplines. METHODS A full-chain pharmacy practice research path covering topic orientation， topic evaluation， and implementation was explored and constructed for PIVAS. Multiple approaches including framework condensation for topic selection， department empowerment and improved incentive mechanisms were adopted to systematically boost the research competence and enthusiasm of PIVAS dispensing pharmacists. Four dimensions of indicators， including PIVAS research output， operational level， career development of staff and external influence， were compared between the pre-implementation period （2020- 2022） and post-implementation period （2023-2025） to evaluate the implementation effect of the path. RESULTS After the application of the PIVAS pharmacy practice research path， the number of published papers and comprehensive quality score of papers increased by 150.00% and 161.90% respectively compared with those before implementation. The number of approved research projects and comprehensive quality score of projects rose by 166.67% and 225.00%， and the number of authorized patents increased by 100.00%. The monthly number of external errors decreased from （0.42±0.18） pieces/month pre-implementation to （0.28±0.23） pieces/month post-implementation （P＞0.05）. Dispensing efficiency was elevated from （121.83±2.48） bags/（hour· person） to （139.00±3.46） bags/（hour·person） （P＜0.05）. The research participation rate of PIVAS dispensing pharmacists grew from 15.00% to 50.00%， and the overall satisfaction rate of staff increased from 55.00% to 85.00% （P＜0.05）. Within the 3 years after path implementation， our hospital PIVAS received a total of 22 trainees from external medical institutions， and the number of external institutional visits increased by 374.07% versus the pre-implementation stage. CONCLUSIONS The constructed pharmacy practice research path for PIVAS can significantly improve PIVAS research output， operational efficiency and external influence， and effectively promote the career growth of dispensing pharmacists working in PIVAS.

Objective Sleep is an important physiological process for maintaining normal cognitive functions,but with the accelerated pace and increased work pressure in modern society,sleep deprivation has become a common phenomenon.It has been shown that sleep deprivation interferes with higher cognitive functions such as working memory,but the specific mechanism of its effect is still not completely clear.The present study aimed to systematically investigate the effects of 36 hours of sleep deprivation on the stages of the working memory processing chain and its neural mechanisms through behavioral and event-related potential(ERP)techniques.Methods Using a randomized controlled experimental design,48 healthy adult subjects were recruited and randomly assigned to sleep deprivation and control groups.All subjects completed a 2-back phonological working memory task,and behavioral data(response time and correctness)and ERP data(P2,N2,and P3 component wave amplitudes)were collected at 0 and 36 hours,respectively.The effects of sleep deprivation on working memory behavioral performance and neurophysiological indices were assessed by ANOVA.Results Behavioral results showed that the sleep deprivation group had a significantly longer response time after 36 hours,but no significant decrease in correctness,indicating a decrease in response efficiency but stable accuracy.ERP results showed that P2 amplitude did not change significantly before and after sleep deprivation,indicating that the early perception and categorization stages were limitedly affected by sleep deprivation;whereas,N2 and P3 amplitudes decreased significantly after sleep deprivation,reflecting that later cognitive processing such as conflict monitoring and resource allocation and other late cognitive processing were significantly disturbed.Conclusion Through ERP technology,this study uncovers the phased impact of 36-hour sleep deprivation on the working memory processing chain.The study found that early perceptual and categorization stages may be less susceptible to the effects of sleep deprivation,likely due to their relatively automatic processing and lower demand for cognitive resources.In contrast,during later stages of cognitive processing,particularly in higher-order functions such as conflict monitoring and resource allocation,sleep deprivation significantly impaired task performance efficiency by disrupting prefrontal cortex function.This finding deepens the understanding of the mechanisms underlying the effects of sleep deprivation and provides a scientific basis for cognitive intervention and management strategies in high-stress occupational groups.Future studies can further explore the long-term effects of sleep deprivation and its neural mechanisms by combining multimodal techniques.

Objective:Assessing the therapeutic efficacy of methotrexate(MTX)-modified magnetic nanoparticles in thermo-chemotherapy for rat breast cancer and its impact on immune function.Methods:Female Wistar rats were subcutaneously inoculated with breast cancer Walker-256 cells to establish a transplantation tumor model,and injected with polyethyleneimine(PEI)-modified Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles(47T group,42T group and multiple 42T group)or MTX-modified Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles(47TC group,42TC group and multiple 42TC group)for thermotherapy under the magnetic field at different temperatures(47℃and 42℃).The rats injected with MTX-modified magnetic fluid only(MFC group)and the tumor-bearing rats without any treatment(blank control group),with irradiation treatment in an alternating magnetic field only for 30 minutes(M group),with injection of PEI-modified magnetic fluid only(MF group),with treatment of MTX-mono drug(MTX group)and not inoculated with tumor cells(normal group)were used as control groups.X-ray radiography was used to display the distribution of magnetic fluid in the tumor tissue 24 hours,2 weeks and 2 months after intra-tumor injection.After 24 hours of treatment,three rats were selected from each of the 47T and 47TC groups,and the effect of magnetic fluid on tumor cells was observed under an electron microscope after execution.After 14 days of treatment,the tumor volume of rats was measured and statistically analyzed.At the same time,4 rats were selected from each of the 47TC,47T,42TC,42T,MFC,MTX,blank control and normal groups,and the levels of IL-2,IFN-γ and IL-4 in peripheral blood were detected by ELISA method.The remaining rats were observed for long-term survival.Results:The magnetic nanoparticles were evenly distributed in the center of the tumor but unevenly distributed at the tumor's edge;they primarily localize amomg tumor cells and can penertrate into tumor cells.Tumor growth was inhibited in rats in the 47TC,47T,multiple 42TC and multiple 42T groups(all P<0.05),and the survival rates of the rats were high.As compared with the blank control group,the levels of IL-2 and IFN-γ were increased while the IL-4 level was decreased in the 47TC and 47T groups(all P<0.05).Conclusion:Thermo-chemotherapy at 47℃for 30 minutes and multiple sessions at 42℃for 60 minutes can partially inhibit tumor growth and prolong rat survival.This effect maybe related to the thermo-chemotherapy at 47℃for 30 minutes which can activate the body's immune function.

Objective Based on the SWOT analysis method,the temporary medical order dispensing service model of pharmacy intravenous admixture service(PIVAS)of M Hospital was constructed and its implementation effect was evaluated,so as to provide reference for other medical institutions to carry out PIVAS temporary dispensing services.Methods SWOT analysis was used to analyze the advantages,disadvantages,opportunities and threats of PIVAS in M Hospital,and targeted operation strategies and practices were proposed.The safety of intravenous medication,the level of pharmacy service and the cost-effectiveness of the department were used to evaluate the implementation effect of PIVAS temporary medical order dispensing service.Results After the operation strategy of PIVAS temporary medical order dispensing service was constructed and implemented based on SWOT analysis,the time of a single medical order for PIVAS labeling in M Hospital was significantly decreased from(7.19±0.06)s/bag to(6.06±0.09)s/bag(P＜0.05);and the number of errors was significantly reduced from(32.50±2.54)pieces/quarter to(19.75±0.59)pieces/quarter(P＜0.05);The qualified rate of temporary prescription increased from(60.52±1.17)％to(90.63±1.72)％(P＜0.05);The qualified rate of finished infusion delivery time increased from(80.63±1.66)％to(90.80±2.98)％(P＜0.05);The satisfaction rate of PIVAS service in the ward increased from 50％to 90％(P＜0.05);the cost of blending decreased from(3.50±0.05)yuan/bag to(3.00±0.12)yuan/bag(P＜0.05).Conclusion The operation strategy of PIVAS temporary medical order dispensing service of M Hospital based on SWOT analysis gives full play to its own advantages,provides more comprehensive and high-quality services for clinicians and patients,ensures the safety and timeliness of patients' medication,and improves the economic efficiency of the department,which is worthy of reference and promotion.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of oral folic acid intervention in lung cancer patients with radiation esophagitis (RE) caused by concurrent chemoradiotherapy.Methods:In this randomized, controlled, single-center clinical trial, a total of 82 patients with stage N 2-N 3 lung cancer including small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) admitted to the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from June 2022 to October 2023 were prospectively included. All enrolled patients were randomly divided into the experimental group (folic acid group) and control group according to 1 vs. 1 of simple random method, and patients in both groups were required to receive radiation therapy for lung lesions and mediastinal metastatic lymph nodes [≥2 cycles of chemotherapy were completed during the same period of radiotherapy (≥40 Gy / 20 F) or targeted drugs were given simultaneously]. The severity of RE was evaluated using the modified common terminology criteria for adverse events criteria of the National Cancer Institute in both groups weekly at the onset of radiation esophagitis symptoms and thereafter until 1 week after the end of radiotherapy. Conventional treatment of RE was delivered according to the grading criteria of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group. Patients in the folic acid group were given with folic acid tablets 30 mg/d orally at the beginning of radiotherapy until the end of radiotherapy, while those in the control group did not receive any drug intervention. The onset time, severity and duration of RE, and changes in the severity of esophageal toxicity after conventional treatment were recorded and analyzed. Serum folate value, serum vitamin B 12 value and homocysteine value were measured before and after radiotherapy. For continuous quantitative variables, independent sample t-test or independent sample rank-sum test was used for comparison among different groups. For categorical data, Chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability method was used for comparison among different groups. Results:During the observation period, no grade 4 or above RE was reported between two groups. The incidence of grade 0, 1, 2 and 3 RE in the folic acid and control groups was 10% (4/40) and 5% (2/41), 70% (28/40) and 42% (17/41), 15% (6/40) and 51% (21/41), 5% (2/40) and 2% (1/41), respectively. The differences were not statistically significant between two groups ( P=0.456). However, the incidence of grade 0-1 RE in the folic acid group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( Z=2.72, P=0.006). The median time of RE in the folic acid group and control group was 12 d (range 7-52 d) and 15 d (range 11-56 d) after the start of radiotherapy, respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=-0.75, P=0.456). However, median duration of the individual's most severe RE was 12 d (range 4-36 d) and 21 d (range 7-38 d) in the folic acid group and control groups, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=2.10, P=0.039). In the folic acid group, the grades of swallowing with pain and dysphagia were significantly declined after folic acid intervention, especially at 2 weeks after the occurrence of RE ( P=0.001, P=0.002). The remission rate of RE after 1 week in the folic acid group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=7.36, P=0.012). Conclusion:Oral intake of folic acid during concurrent chemoradiotherapy for lung cancer cannot reduce the incidence of RE, but it may reduce its severity, shorten the duration of the most severe RE in individuals, and have a certain protective effect.

Objective To explore the characteristic categories of presenteeism among ICU nurses and analyse the influencing factor.Methods A convenience sampling method was adopted to select 391 ICU nurses as the study subjects from four Grade IIIA hospitals in Zhejiang Province in May 2023.A general information questionnaire,the Stanford presenteeism scale-6,and Maslach burnout inventor were used in the survey.R language was used for latent profile analysis,and univariate analysis and multinomial logistic regression analysis were employed to explore the influencing factors of the latent profiles.Results A total of 391 ICU nurses completed the survey,with the score of presenteeism at 16.10±4.64,which was at medium level.The score of presenteeism was further divided into four latent classes:low work limitation-low work energy type accounted for 13.04%,high work limitation-moderate work energy type accounted for 24.55%,low work limitation-high work energy type accounted for 4.86%,moderate work limitation-moderate work energy type accounted for 57.55%.The influencing factors include average monthly income,the score of emotional exhaustion and personal fulfillment dimensions in job burnout(all P<0.05).Conclusion The incidence of presenteeism among the ICU nurses has distinctive classification characteristics.Based on the identified influencing factors,nursing managers should provide individualised interventions to the ICU nurses with different latent profiles of characteristic categories to reduce the presenteeism among the nurses and thereby to improve the quality of nursing services.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of long-term survival patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with chemotherapy combined with primary tumor radiotherapy, and to establish a Nomogram prognostic model, aiming to provide a certain reference for making a decision about the treatment of advanced NSCLC.Methods:A retrospective analysis was made on the data of 260 NSCLC patients who participated in two prospective clinical studies from January 2003 to May 2012 and the data of 138 NSCLC patients admitted to the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from January 2014 to August 2020. The former 260 cases were used as a training set and the latter 138 cases were used as the validation set. The overall survival (OS) of ≥ 18 months was defined as long-term survival (LTS). The clinical characteristics of LTS patients were compared with those with OS less than 18 months. The clinical characteristics and treatment-related parameters between the two types of patients were compared using the χ2 test. A multivariate analysis was made using logistic regression, and a nomogram model was built using RStudio. Results:The median OS of the training set was 13.4 months (95% CI: 11.9-14.9), with 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rates of 55.4%, 19.1%, and 11.9%, respectively. In the training set, 87 cases had LTS and were classified as the LTS group, while 173 cases had OS less than 18 months and were classified as the non-LTS group. The univariate analysis showed that the prognostic factors affecting LST included the KPS score, T status, the number of metastatic organs, the number of metastatic lesions, brain metastasis, bone metastasis, the number of chemotherapy cycles, the biologically effective dose (BED) to the primary tumor, hemoglobin level, platelet count, plasma D-dimer, fibrinogen level, lactate dehydrogenase, and lung immune prognostic index (LIPI; χ2=4.72-12.63, P < 0.05). The multivariable analysis showed that the independent prognostic factors of LTS included a number of chemotherapy cycles ≥ 4, BED ≥ 70 Gy, platelets ≤ 220×10 9/L, D-dimer ≤ 0.5 mg/L, and a good LIPI score ( P= 0.002, 0.036, 0.005, 0.008, and 0.002). A nomogram model was established using the meaningful parameters obtained in the multivariable analysis, determining that the training and validation sets had a consistency index (C-index) of 0.750 and 0.727, respectively. As shown by the analytical result of the corrected curves, for the advanced NSCLC patients treated with thoracic radiotherapy, their LTS probability predicted using the nomogram prognostic model was highly consistent with their actual LTS probability. Both the analytical result of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the decision curve analysis (DCA) result showed that the composite prediction model was more beneficial than a single prediction model. Conclusions:For patients with advanced NSCLC treated with thoracic radiotherapy, the independent prognostic factors of LTS included the number of chemotherapy cycles, BED, platelet count, pre-chemotherapy D-dimer, and LIPI score. The Nomogram prognostic model built based on these prognostic factors is a convenient, intuitive, and personalized prediction model used to screen patients who can benefit from thoracic radiotherapy.
