Population aging and increasingly complex medication regimens have diversified the demand for pharmaceutical care, yet limited pharmaceutical resources cannot fully satisfy such clinical needs. Graded pharmaceutical care responds by stratifying patients according to risk and allocating pharmaceutical resources differentially. This review systematically summarizes the development history and current practice of graded pharmaceutical care, analyzes the development challenges and puts forward relevant suggestions. The results showed that graded pharmaceutical care has evolved through three stages: conceptual groundwork, tool development, and model consolidation. Internationally, a range of instruments has been established, including risk scoring systems, screening tools, and patient prioritization frameworks. In China, although local standards and specialty consensus statements have been issued, unified standards and implementation specifications are still lacking. Current grading criteria largely remain at the level of “dimensions and items”, with only a few tools providing operational thresholds and item weights. Outcome evaluation encompasses four dimensions: clinical value, economic value, humanistic value, and process and implementation quality value. Notably, the real-world consistency of these tools is poor. These findings suggest that the next stage should focus on validating, calibrating, and standardizing the use of existing tools.

The dual induction therapy with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO) has resulted in a cure rate exceeding 90% for patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). However, relapse due to ATO resistance remains a pressing clinical challenge. This article reviews recent research progress of PML mutations, metabolic adaptation, ATO metabolism, miRNA, snoRNA, the pathogenic mechanisms of the PML::RARA fusion protein and resistance mechanisms of autophagy. Additionally, the paper also discusses the clinical application of new treatment strategies such as venetoclax and gemtuzumab ozogamicin based on the drug-resistance mechanisms.

Drug-induced liver injury(DILI),induced by drugs and/or their reactive metabolites,is a common and challenging clinical issue.Bile acid profiles reflect both the species and contents of biolog-ical bile acids,and the perturbation of bile acid homeostasis is considered one of the early pathogene-sis events in DILI.This review summarizes the synthesis,transport and regulation of bile acids,the roles of bile acids in early warning,the relationships between different bile acids,clinical prognosis of DILI,and the potential therapeutic targets for DILI in the bile acid metabolic pathway,such as the path-ways based on the farnesoid X receptor(FXR)and G-protein coupled bile acid receptor 1(GPBAR1),as well as the balance of the gut microbiota.This study is expected to provide data for the application of bile acid metabolism in the early diagnosis,prediction,and clinical treatment of DILI.

Objective:To explore the prognostic value of BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) expression loss in patients with malignant mesothelioma (MM) .Methods:A total of 82 MM patients from January 1998 to December 2017 in Zhejiang Province were selected to detect the expression of BAP1 protein by immunohistochemical analysis. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve, and multivariate Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the factors affecting the survival rate.Results:Among 82 MM patients, 61 (74.4%) were female, aged (57±11) years. BAP1 protein expression was deficient in 39 patients (47.6%). The survival rate was correlated with the loss of BAP1 protein expression and age (χ 2=5.27, 5.66, P=0.022, 0.017). Subgroup analysis showed that loss of BAP1 protein expression was associated with better prognosis in MM patients <57 years of age, female, pleural MM, epithelial MM, and treated with drugs or surgery ( P<0.05). Multivariate model results showed that positive expression of BAP1 protein ( HR=3.75, 95% CI: 2.23-6.30, P<0.001) and age ≥57 years ( HR=1.66, 95% CI: 1.01-2.72, P=0.049) were risk factors for survival in patients with MM. Conclusion:Loss of BAP1 protein expression may be an independent prognostic factor in patients with MM, which is associated with longer survival.

Objective:To develop a convolutional neural network based model for assisting pathological diagnoses on thyroid liquid-based cytology specimens.Methods:Seven-hundred thyroid TCT slides were collected, scanned for whole slide imaging (WSI), and divided into training and test sets after labeling the correct diagnosis (benign versus malignant). The extracted regions of interest after noise filtering were cropped into pieces of 512 × 512 patch on 10 × and 40 × magnifications, respectively. A classification model was constructed using deeply learning algorithms, and applied to the training set, then automatically tuned in the test set. After data enhancement and parameters optimization, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the model were calculated. Results The training set with 560 WSI contained 4 926 cell clusters (11 164 patches), while the test set with 140 WSI contained 977 cell clusters (1 402 patches). YOLO network was selected to establish a detection model, and ResNet50 was used as a classification model. With 40 epochs training, results from 10× magnifications showed an accuracy of 90.01%, sensitivity of 89.31%, specificity of 92.51%, positive predictive value of 97.70% and negative predictive value of 70.82%. The area under curve was 0.97. The average diagnostic time was less than 1 second. Although the model for data of 40× magnifications was very sensitive (98.72%), but its specificity was poor, suggesting that the model was more reliable at 10× magnification. Conclusions:The performance of a deep-learning based model is equivalent to pathologists′ diagnostic performance, but its efficiency is far beyond. The model can greatly improve consistency and efficiency, and reduce the missed diagnosis rate. In the future, larger studies should have more morphology diversity, improve model′s accuracy and eventually develop a model for direct clinical use.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and molecular genetics of atypical renal cysts.Methods:Six cases of atypical renal cysts were collected from Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital, Hangzhou, China, between February 2014 and February 2019. The clinicopathological characteristics and disease progression were analyzed. The 3p deletion and trisomy of chromosomes 7 and 17 were detected using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).Results:All of the 6 patients were male, aged 43-63 years (median: 52 years). Preoperative Bosniak classification showed 4 cases of grade Ⅱ, 1 case of grade Ⅰ and 1 of grade Ⅲ. Histologically, atypical renal cysts appeared as unilocular or multilocular cysts, lined by multilayered flattened or cuboidal-shaped clear or eosinophilic cells. They often showed short papillary projections, and lacked solid or nodular growth of the lesional cells within the wall or septa of the cysts. Histologically, these cysts could be classified into three categories: acquired cystic disease-associated renal cell carcinoma (ACKD-RCC)-like (3 cases), clear cell type (2 cases), and eosinophilic papillary type (1 case). Two cases of ACKD-RCC-like atypical renal cysts were accompanied by clear cell renal cell carcinomas. On immunohistochemical staining, ACKD-RCC-like atypical renal cysts were focally CK7+/AMACR+/CD57+, the clear-cell type atypical renal cysts were CK7+/CAⅨ+, and eosinophilic papillary type atypical renal cysts were CK7+/AMACR+. FISH analyses showed that one case of ACKD-RCC-like atypical renal cysts had trisomy 17 and one case of clear cell type had 3p deletion, while no signal abnormality was detected in the other cases. The six patients were followed up for 13 to 70 months (median: 27 months), and no evidence of renal cell carcinoma was noted.Conclusion:Atypical renal cysts are a group of lesions that are heterogeneous in clinical, histological and immunophenotypical and molecular genetic features. FISH analyses suggest that a subset of the cases may be precursors of currently known renal cell carcinomas. Extensively sampling and careful observation of the histological characteristics of the cyst wall are important for distinguishing atypical renal cysts from extensively cystic renal cell carcinomas.
