OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical efficacy of integrating pharmacists into family health teams （FHTs） for long-term medication therapeutical management （MTM） in stroke patients， and empirically evaluate the service model. METHODS A pharmacist team， jointly established by clinical and community pharmacists from the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University （hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”）， developed a pharmacist-supported MTM model integrated into FHTs. Using a prospective randomized controlled design， 170 stroke patients discharged from our hospital （July 2022-December 2023） and enrolled in FHTs at Suzhou Runda Community Hospital were randomly divided into trial group （88 cases） and control group （82 cases） according to random number table. The control group received routine FHTs care （without pharmacist involvement in the team collaboration）， while the trial group xhz8405@126.com received 12-month MTM services supported by pharmacists via an information platform. These services specifically included innovative interventions such as personalized medication regimen optimization based on the MTM framework， dynamic medication adherence management， medication safety monitoring， a home medication assessment system， and distinctive service offerings. Outcomes of the 2 grousp were compared before and after intervention， involving medication adherence （adherence rate， adherence score）， compliance rates for stroke recurrence risk factors [blood pressure， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）]， and incidence of adverse drug reactions （ADR）. RESULTS After 12 months， the trial group exhibited significantly higher medication adherence rates， improved adherence scores， higher compliance rates for blood pressure and LDL-C targets compared to the control group （P＜0.05）. The incidence of ADR in the trial group （4.55%） was significantly lower than that in the control group （8.11%）， though the difference was not statistically significant （P＞ 0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Pharmacist involvement in FHTs to deliver MTM services significantly enhances medication adherence and optimizes risk factor for stroke recurrence， offering practical evidence for advancing pharmaceutical care in chronic disease management under the family doctor system.

AIM: To investigate the effect of corneal topography-guided phacoemulsification with transparent corneal incision on cataract patients.METHODS:A total of 92 cataract patients(92 eyes)admitted to our hospital from February 2021 to February 2023 were prospectively selected and randomly divided into two groups: the control group(46 eyes)received the conventional 11:00 clear corneal incision scheme, and the study group(46 eyes)received the steepest meridian clear corneal incision scheme. The uncorrected visual acuity, corneal surface morphology indicators, including surface regularity index(SRI), surface asymmetry index(SAI), and cylinder(CYL), subjective dry eye symptoms questionnaire scoring scale(SDES), tear film break-up time(BUT), and complications were compared between the two groups.RESULTS:All patients completed the follow-up. The uncorrected visual acuity of the study group was significantly better than that of the control group at 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo after surgery(all P<0.05); there were statistical significance in the SAI and CYL of both groups of patients at 3 mo after surgery(all P<0.05); the fluctuation levels of SDES and BUT in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group at different time points after surgery(all P<0.05); and there was no statistical difference in complications between the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Under the guidance of corneal topography, phacoemulsification through the transparent corneal incision of the steepest meridian of the cornea can improve the uncorrected visual acuity of cataract patients, restore the corneal surface morphology, and have few complications.

Objective:To comprehensively and systematically collect and review domestic and international studies on the practices of continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) following transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), including the topics, research methods, and evaluation techniques used in these studies, and to provide clinical nursing staff with a reference.Methods:Nine Chinese and English databases were systematically searched, including CNKI, Wanfang, SinoMed, VIP, Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science. The search covered all literature up to April 10, 2023. The practices of CBI were extracted and systematically analyzed, and the results were reported in a standardized manner using a scoping review methodology.Results:A total of 23 eligible studies were included, comprising two English articles and 21 Chinese articles. The types of studies included 12 randomized controlled trials and 11 quasi-experimental studies. The interventions were categorized into single and comprehensive measures, including methods such as adjusting the temperature and flow rate of bladder irrigation, selection of indwelling catheters, traditional Chinese medicine-based nursing, perioperative psychological care, and rapid recovery protocols. The evaluation metrics used in the studies were classified into three levels: symptom indicators, process indicators, and management indicators.Conclusions:Research on CBI following TURP has achieved a certain scale, with a variety of intervention methods currently available. However, there is still a lack of high-quality evidence. Future studies should focus on enhancing research design, developing standardized quality assessment tools for bladder irrigation, and improving innovative irrigation devices to enhance clinical nursing quality.

Objective:To explore the effects of a structured exercise intervention on the healthy physical fitness in patients with leukemia receiving umbilical cord blood transplantation.Methods:It was a randomized controlled trial, conducted from August 2022 to October 2023 at the Department of Hematology of the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China (Anhui Provincial Hospital). Fifty leukemia patients undergoing umbilical cord blood transplantation were recruited and were randomly assigned to either the control group (24 cases) or the intervention group (26 cases) using a random number table method. The control group received routine nursing care, health education, and exercise guidance during hospitalization. The intervention group were given moderate-intensity structured exercise intervention, including aerobic, resistance exercises, and flexibility training, three times per week for 30 to 40 minutes per session, over a period of 6 to 8 weeks. During the study, 2 patients withdrew due to disease reasons, and finally, 22 patients in the control group and 26 patients in the intervention group were obtained. The paired t-test, Wilcoxon test, and covariance analysis were used to compare the indices of healthy physical fitness before and after the intervention between the two groups, aiming to explore the effects of a structured exercise intervention on the healthy physical fitness of leukemia patients undergoing umbilical cord blood transplantation. Results:Before the intervention, there was no significant differences in baseline characteristics, such as age, gender and disease status between the two groups (all P>0.05). During the hospitalization phase, the rate of exercise participation in the intervention group was 73.4%, the frequency of exercise was (2.20±0.41) sessions per week and the duration of each exercise session was (34.34±5.05) minutes, and the Borg′s rating of perceived exertion was (13.04±0.82) points. After intervention, the indicators including cardiovascular endurance, muscle fitness, and functional activity status in the two groups were all decreased, and the reduction degree of the indicators were all significantly lower in the intervention group when compared with those in the control group [6-minute walk distance (48.81±30.39) m vs (143.05±77.26) m, grip strength of left hand (2.57±1.30) kg vs (6.72±4.88) kg, grip strength of right hand (2.47±1.97) kg vs (6.34±5.70) kg, muscle strength of left upper limb (4.12±2.07) times vs (8.18±5.26) times, muscle strength of right upper limb (3.96±2.29) times vs (7.91±5.16) times, 30 second chair standing test (3.65±1.98) times vs (7.86±4.34) times, and timed-up-and-go test (0.65±0.53) s vs (2.35±1.79) s] (all P<0.05). The flexibility fitness was improved in the intervention group after the intervention [sit-and-reach 2.00(-4.75, 8.18) cm vs 0(-9.75, 6.43) cm] ( P=0.011), but no significant differences was found in the control group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The structured exercise intervention has advantages in reducing the decline of healthy physical fitness in patients with leukemia receiving umbilical cord blood transplantation, and exerts a protective effect on healthy physical fitness.

Objective:To establish Chinese grading standards for elderly disability and dementia, in accordance with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health(ICF)items, and to develop visual assessment tools that can be easily understood by patients, family members, and health workers.The aim is to verify the reliability and validity of these tools.Methods:In this study, we established five categories of elderly disability classification, along with corresponding ICF items and visual evaluation tools.The appropriateness and compatibility of the tools were assessed using questionnaires, which included illustrations, GIF dynamic pictures, and ICF items.Correlation analysis was conducted to screen the items, and the validity of the visual evaluation tools was determined through a picture-text matching validity test.Reliability was evaluated using internal consistency or test-retest reliability, and validity was assessed through content validity.Results:Each grade of disability was initially divided into five levels.However, after expert consultations and classification revision, each level was ultimately simplified into four levels with clearer descriptions.The Pearson correlation coefficients between all items and the total scores of each part were found to exceed 0.3, and the difference was statistically significant(all P<0.05).The average and mode of the illustrations and GIF dynamic pictures, when matched with related descriptions, were both above 3, with consistency rates surpassing 50%.Statistical differences were observed in eight items between the two visual assessment tools.The Cronbach's α coefficients, which reflect internal consistency, were all above 0.60.The intra-group correlation coefficients, which indicate test-retest reliability, were all greater than 0.70.The content validity index of the questionnaire at the overall level was above 0.90, while the item-level content validity index was more than 0.78. Conclusions:The Chinese grading standards for elderly disability and dementia, which are aligned with the ICF, have been preliminarily established.Visual assessment tools have also been developed, which demonstrate good reliability and validity.Among the two visual assessment tools, GIF dynamic pictures were found to be more popular and easier to understand.

Objective:To investigate the effect of intraoperative protection of the supraclavicular nerve on the healing of clavicular 1/3 mid-shaft fracture.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 83 patients who had been treated for clavicular 1/3 mid-shaft fractures at Department of Orthopaedics, The First Central Hospital of Baoding from June 2021 to March 2022. There were 57 males and 26 females with an age of (48.1±12.8) years. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether the supraclavicular nerve was protected or not during operation. There were 39 cases in the observation group (the supraclavicular nerve was protected during operation) and 44 cases in the control group (the supraclavicular nerve was not protected during operation). The incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores before operation and 3, 6 and 12 months after operation, fracture healing at 3, 6 and 12 months after operation, and postoperative complications were recorded and compared between the 2 groups. Additionally, the number of microvessels in the middle clavicle was recorded and compared between the affected and healthy sides in 8 patients in the observation group at 6 weeks after operation.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). The operation time for the observation group [(72.2±5.4) min] was significantly longer than that for the control group [(61.1±4.7) min]. The VAS scores at postoperative 3 and 6 months for the observation group [2.7 (2.4, 3.1) and 2.1 (1.9, 2.6) points] were significantly lower than those for the control group [3.5 (3.2, 3.8) and 2.7 (2.4, 2.9) points] ( P<0.05). The fracture healing rates at postoperative 3 and 6 months in the observation group [97.4% (38/39) and 100% (39/39)] were significantly higher than those in the control group [81.8% (36/44) and 86.4% (38/44)] ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the fracture healing between the 2 groups at 12 months after operation ( P>0.05). At 6 weeks after operation, the number of microvessels in the middle clavicle was respectively 85.3±0.7 and 87.1±0.8 in the 8 patients in the observation group, showing no significant difference ( P>0.05). After operation, delayed incision healing occurred in 3 cases in the observation group and in 4 cases in the control group, and abnormal sensation of the skin around the incision occurred in 9 cases in the observation group and in 26 cases in the control group, showing a significant difference between the 2 groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Intraoperative protection of the supra-clavicular nerve is beneficial for reduction of early postoperative pain and improvement of early fracture healing, and may have a positive effect on the postoperative reconstruction of microvascular network.

Objective:To analyze clinical efficacy of intensity-modulated chemoradiotherapy for patients with anal squamous cell carcinoma and identify prognostic factors.Methods:Clinical data of patients with anal squamous cell carcinoma who received intensity-modulated chemoradiotherapy in the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 1, 2010 to January 1, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Regular follow-up was carried out. The main indexes included disease-free survival (DFS), locoregional failure-free survival (LRFFS) and overall survival (OS), and adverse reactions were recorded. The survival curve was delineated by Kaplan-Meier method and the influencing factors of survival were analyzed by Cox regression models.Results:A total of 65 patients were enrolled with 19 (29%) males and 46 (71%) females. According to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 7 th edition staging, there were 7 (11%), 28 (43%), 10 (15%), and 20 (31%) patients with stage I, II, IIIa, and IIIb, respectively. Before the chemoradiotherapy, 2 (3%) patients received chemotherapy and 12 (18%) patients received local resection. The median dose of radiotherapy was 54 Gy (range: 45-64 Gy) and the main concurrent chemotherapy regimen was capecitabine combined with cisplatin ( n=34, 52%). The completion rate of radiotherapy during concurrent chemoradiotherapy was 100%, and the chemotherapy completion rate was 88%. During the therapy, 5 patients (8%) were interrupted but completed concurrent chemoradiotherapy in full dose, and 8 patients (12%) reduced the dose of concurrent chemotherapy due to the toxicities. During the chemoradiotherapy, 15 cases (23%) experienced grade 3-4 leukopenia, and 17 cases (26%) experienced grade 3-4 radiation dermatitis. No treatment-related death occurred during the treatment. The median follow-up time was 50.4 months (range: 4.4-142.2 months), local recurrence occurred in 7 cases (11%), distant metastasis occurred in 3 cases (5%), and the 5-year DFS, LRFFS and OS rates were 78.8%, 86.5% and 85.1%, respectively. Cox univariate analysis indicated that T stage was significantly associated with DFS ( P=0.006), and tended to be associated with OS ( P=0.054). Conclusions:Intensity-modulated radiotherapy combined with concurrent chemotherapy is an effective treatment for anal squamous cell carcinoma, with tolerable acute toxicities. T stage is an influencing factor of DFS in anal squamous cell carcinoma patients.

Background According to the Classification and Catalogue of Occupational Diseases, brucellosis is one of the notifiable occupational infectious diseases, which occurs from time to time in the occupational population. Objective To compare the work-related injury appraisal process and results of 13 cases of brucellosis at both provincial and municipal levels, analyze and summarize the bias in the practical work of labor capacity identification for occupational diseases such as brucellosis by appraisal management departments and experts, and propose suggestions for optimizing appraisal work. Methods A comparative study was conducted on the objective examination results and labor capacity appraisal conclusions based on the occupational contact history, clinical diagnosis, occupational disease diagnosis staging, and labor capacity appraisal of 13 patients with brucellosis. The reasons for the inconsistency between the initial appraisal conclusion by institutions at the municipal level and the final appraisal conclusion by institutions at the provincial level were compared and analyzed. Results All of the 13 patients with brucellosis applied for municipal-level labor capacity identification after being identified as work-related injuries, 11 of which did not receive a disability level, and 2 were rated as level 10 disability. Four of those who did not receive the disability rate applied for provincial-level labor capacity identification. As a result, 2 cases were maintained original appraisal conclusions, while the other 2 changed the conclusions to level 9 disability and level 10 disability respectively. It was the first time in Shijiangzhuang municipal-level primary labor capacity appraisal and Hebei provincial-level labor capacity re-appraisal that the work-related injury caused by occupational brucellosis was rated as level 9 disability or level 10 disability. Hence, the lessons learned from this comparative analysis are that the degree of target organ damage and (or) organ dysfunction are the direct basis for work-related injury appraisal; an objective and scientific labor capacity identification for occupational brucellosis should base on the each case of disability evaluation, identify the relevant target organ damage and the degree of dysfunction, and rate the disability level after a comprehensive appraisal. Conclusion This analysis would be a guidance to the identification of labor capacity for occupational brucellosis in Hebei Province and the whole country. There is a hysteresis issue in the occupational disease provisions in the national standard GB/T 16180—2014 Standard for identify work ability—Gradation of disability caused by work-related injuries and occupatiaonal diseases. In current situation, appraisal experts should not only search for clauses that directly correspond to the occupational diseases and injuries, but also target conditions not covered in the clauses and conduct assessment based on the characteristics of occupational diseases, with scientific, accurate, and flexible application of the clauses in the standard and appendix, so as to make fair, just, and professional appraisal conclusions.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of thalidomide combined with aclacinomycin， granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and cytarabine （CAG） regimen in the treatment of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia （AML）. METHODS CNKI， Wanfang data， VIP， Sino Med， PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library and Web of Science were searched comprehensively from the inception to Aug. 27th， 2023. Randomized controlled trials （RCTs） about thalidomide combined with CAG regimen （trial group） versus CAG regimen （control group） in the treatment of elderly AML patients were collected， and RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis of included studies. RESULTS Finally， 7 RCTs were included， with a total of 601 patients， including 307 patients in the trial group and 294 patients in the control group. Meta-analysis results showed that the trial group was superior to the control group in enhancing the overall response rate [Z＝4.75， P＜0.000 01， OR＝2.80， 95%CI （1.83，4.28）]， complete remission rate [Z＝2.82， P＝0.005， OR＝1.61， 95%CI （1.16， 2.25）]， and improving platelet count [Z＝2.70， P＝0.007， MD＝64.02， 95%CI （17.53， 110.51）]， vascular endothelial growth factor [Z＝13.63，P＜0.000 01， MD＝－65.17， 95%CI（－74.54， －55.80）]， vascular endothelial growth factor receptor [Z＝12.03， P＜ 0.000 01， MD＝－499.01， 95%CI （－580.31， －417.71）] and basic fibroblast growth factor [Z＝4.17， P＜0.000 1，MD＝－0.23， 95%CI（－0.35， －0.12）]. And there was no statistical difference between the trial group and the control group in the incidence of adverse drug reaction [Z＝0.99， P＝0.32， OR＝0.52， 95%CI（0.14，1.89）]， nausea and vomiting [Z＝ 1.06， P＝0.29， OR＝0.66， 95%CI （0.30，1.43）]， constipation or diarrhea [Z＝0.92， P＝0.36， OR＝0.65， 95%CI（0.26， 1.63）]， drowsiness [Z＝1.38， P＝0.17， OR＝0.57， 95%CI（0.26， 1.27）] or myelosuppression [Z＝0.88，P＝0.38，OR＝0.68，95%CI（0.28， 1.62）]. CONCLUSIONS The combination of thalidomide and CAG regimen in the treatment of elderly AML patients can significantly improve clinical efficacy and has high safety.
