Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang was first recorded in the Treatise on Cold Damage （Shang Han Lun）. This prescription is composed of Bupleuri Radix， Scutellariae Radix， Cinnamomi Ramulus， Zingiberis Rhizoma， Trichosanthis Radix， Ostreae Concha， and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. It has the effects of soothing Lesser Yang， warming the spleen， and stimulating the generation of body fluid. It is mainly used to treat digestive tract diseases such as chronic cholecystitis （CC）， irritable bowel syndrome， and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Dyspepsia caused by CC presents a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain， poor appetite， postprandial fullness， aversion to greasy food， soft stool， and bitter mouth， being a type of biliary dyspepsia. In modern medicine， dyspepsia caused by CC is mainly managed by medical treatment and surgical treatment. Internal medicine mainly focuses on reducing inflammation， promoting the function of gallbladder， resolving stones， alleviating spasms， and relieving the pain for CC， demonstrating definite short-term efficacy but suffering from single effects， high recurrence rate， and poor compliance. Although surgical treatment can cure cholecystitis， it is accompanied by the increased incidence of adverse events such as abdominal pain， diarrhea， and dyspepsia. Modern clinical studies have confirmed that Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang can significantly alleviate the symptoms such as abdominal pain and dyspepsia of CC patients. Pharmacological studies have found that Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang mainly contains active ingredients such as Bupleuri Radix saponins， baicalin， cinnamaldehyde， gingerol， Trichosanthis Radix polysaccharide， Ostreae Concha polysaccharide， and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma total flavonoids. Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang can ameliorate the symptoms of dyspepsia caused by CC by inhibiting inflammatory responses， improving gallbladder contraction and gastrointestinal motility， regulating the bile acid-intestinal flora axis and the brain-gut axis， and modulating blood lipids through multiple targets. By reviewing the previous literature， this article summarizes the research progress in the treatment of dyspepsia caused by CC with Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang and its main active ingredients as well as the pathogenesis of this disease and puts forward the shortcomings and improvement strategies for the current research. The review aims to provide a reference for the further research on Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang in the treatment of dyspepsia caused by CC.

OBJECTIVE To formulate Guidelines for the standardized implementation of pharmacist-managed clinics （ 2026 edition ） in response to the challenges faced by such clinics in China， including uneven development， large discrepancies in service specifications， insufficient patient awareness， and limited medical insurance coverage. METHODS Led by the Pharmaceutical Affairs Professional Committee of the Chinese Hospital Association， the Evidence-based Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association， and the Hospital Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Cross-strait Medical and Health Exchange Association， a total of 19 domestic hospital pharmacy experts were organized. Through a systematic review of national policies and literature research， current practical experience was summarized. Consensus on the contents of the guidelines was reached after in-depth discussions. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS The guidelines covered five sections： definition and connotation of pharmacist-managed clinics， establishment requirements， implementation and management， post competency， and practical research. Firstly， the definition and connotation included three operational forms of pharmacist-managed clinics （independent mode， physician-pharmacist joint mode， and online pharmacist-managed clinic mode） and classified service modes （specialty-specific， drug-specific， and disease-specific pharmacist-managed clinics）. The establishment requirements were further refined， covering system construction （pharmaceutical service management system， quality control and assessment mechanism）， personnel qualifications （professional credentials， continuing education and professional training， etc）， service recipients， as well as service venues and facilities. Subsequently， the implementation and management of pharmacist-managed clinics were proposed， involving service procedures， intervention measures， documentation and records， patient education and follow-up， humanistic care， as well as risk management and quality control. Finally， post competency encompassed the competency requirements for pharmacists providing services in pharmacist-managed clinics， as well as the suggestions on teaching methods； practical research encouraged the conduct of high-quality pharmaceutical practice in the setting of pharmacist-managed clinics. The guidelines provide valuable guidance for the standardized implementation of pharmacist-managed clinics in China in terms of establishment， management， teaching， and research， fill the guideline gap in this field， and can promote the high-quality development of pharmacist-managed clinics.

Tissue-resident memory T cells （T_RM cells） are a subset of memory T cells that reside in tissues， exhibit tissue specificity， and do not recirculate. When potential hazards threaten the liver， such as pathogen invasion （bacteria， viruses， etc.） and excessive autoimmune responses， T_RM cells are essential as the first line of immune defense， playing an important role in viral hepatitis， autoimmune liver disease， metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease， liver cirrhosis， and liver transplantation. Here， we present the immunophenotypes of T_RM cells in the liver and their surface markers and transcriptional profiles， aiming to clarify the role of T_RM cells in chronic liver diseases and explore their potential function as therapeutic targets in immunotherapy.

Objective To investigate the effect of spinal cord electrical stimulation on diabetic peripheral neuropathy.Methods A total of 120 patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy were randomly assigned to three groups,with 40 cases in each group.Group A was treated with pregabalin.Group B received radiofrequency therapy of lumbar sympathetic ganglion.Group C was treated with spinal cord electrical stimulation.The treatment course was six months.Pain,EMG parameters,hemorheology indexes,quality of life,sleep quality,and HbA1c were compared among groups.Results Group C had higher therapeutic effective rate than groups A and B(P<0.05)after 6 months of treatment.After 1 week,3 months,6 months and 12 months of treatment,the visual analogue scale(VAS)scores and HbA1c levels of group C were lower than those of groups A and B(P<0.05).After 6 months of treatment,the motor nerve and sensory nerve conduction velocities of the median nerve and peroneal nerve in group C were higher than those in groups A and B(P<0.05).After 6 months of treatment,the whole blood viscosity and capillary plasma viscosity of group C were lower than those of groups A and B(P<0.05).After 6 months of treatment,the 36-item short form health survey(SF-36)score of group C was higher than that of groups A and B,and the Pittsburgh sleep quality Index(PSQI)score of group C was lower than that of groups A and B(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in group C was lower than that in groups A and B(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with drugs and lumbar sympathetic ganglion radiofrequency therapy,spinal cord electrical stimulation has a better efficacy in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.It can continuously relieve neuropathic pain,increase the velocity of motor and sensory nerve conduction,improve the hemorheology,HbA1c levels,quality of life and sleep quality,and has high safety and significant clinical value.

Objective To establish an analytical method for the simultaneous determination of 18 perfluoroalkyl compounds(PFCs)in tea leaves using a quick,easy,cheap,effective,rugged,and safe(QuEChERS)method for sample pretreatment combined with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS).Methods The target analytes—18 PFCs—included 13 carboxylic acid PFCs(perfluorobutanoic acid[PFBA],perfluoropentanoic acid[PFPeA],perfluorohexanoic acid[PFHxA],perfluoroheptanoic acid[PFHpA],perfluorooctanoic acid[PFOA],perfluorononanoic acid[PFNA],perfluorodecanoic acid[PFDA],perfluoroundecanoic acid[PFUdA],perfluorododecanoic acid[PFTrDA],perfluorotridecanoic acid[PFTeDA],perfluorotetradecanoic acid[PFHxDA],perfluorohexadecanoic acid[PFHpS],and perfluorooctadecanoic acid[PFODA])and 5 sulfonic acid PFCs(perfluorobutanesulfonic acid[PFBS],perfluorohexanesulfonic acid[PFHxS],perfluoroheptanesulfonic acid[PFHpS],perfluorooctanesulfonic acid[PFOS],and perfluorodecanesulfonic acid[PFDS]).The QuEChERS pretreatment parameters were systematically optimized using the response surface methodology.The tea leave samples were extracted with an 80%acetonitrile solution and subsequently purified by adding a mixed absorbent consisting of 20 mg N-propyl-ethylenediamine(PSA),210 mg graphitized carbon black GCB),and 60 mg octadecylsilane(C18).The supernatant was concentrated by nitrogen blowing and subsequently re-dissolved in 50%methanol-2 mmol/L ammonium acetate solution.The re-dissolved solution was injected into the UHPLC-MS/MS for analysis.The target analytes were separated on an ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column(2.1 mm×50 mm,1.7 μm).The mobile phases consisted of methanol(phase A)and 2 mmol/L aqueous ammonium acetate(phase B),with a gradient elution procedure.The total running time was 18 min.The mass spectrometry analysis was conducted using an electrospray ionization source in negative ionization mode and multi-reaction monitoring(MRM),with quantification performed using the internal standard curve method.The greenness of the analytical method was assessed using Analytical GREEnness calculator(AGREE)and the Analytical Eco-Scale method(AES).Results Under the optimized conditions,the limits of detection(LODs)and limits of quantification(LOQs)of the method were 0.005 7-1.23 ng/g and 0.019-4.09 ng/g,respectively.The average recoveries of most target compounds were 71.1%-117.9%,with relative standard deviations(RSDs)below 15%.The AGREE index of the method was 0.49,and the AES score was 76.At least one PFC was detected in each of the 132 tea leave samples,and the detection rate of carboxylic acid PFC was higher than that of sulfonic acid PFC.The highest detection rates were observed for PFBA at 97.74%,PFHpA at 93.23%,and PFOA at 92.24%.In contrast,PFHpS,PFUdA,PFDoA,PFHxDA,and PFODA were not detected in the samples.Conclusion The proposed method has the advantages of simplicity,rapidity and sensitivity,and is suitable for the analysis of PFCs in tea leaves.The method has high greenness with minimal impact on the operator and the environment.The widespread presence of PFC contamination in tea leaves available in the market warrants strengthened monitoring and regulatory control.

Objective To investigate the effects of secukinumab combined with E'xian Huaban decoction on traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores and nailfold microcirculation morphology in patients with plaque psoriasis.Methods A total of 120 patients with plaque psoriasis were selected and randomly divided into monotherapy group(n=60)and combination therapy group(n=60).The monotherapy group received secukinumab treatment,while the combination therapy group was treated with secukinumab plus E'xian Huaban Decoction.Clinical therapeutic efficacy,traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores(including skin lesions,pruritus,rough skin,scales and irritabili-ty),relevant scale[Psoriasisarea and Severity Index(PASI),Dermatology Life Quality Index(DLQI)and Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)]scores,inflammatory factors[interleukin-17(IL-17),interleukin-23(IL-23)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)]levels and nailfold microcircu-lation morphology(loop tube morphology,blood flow state and loop periphery state)were observed in both groups.Results The overall clinical efficacy rate in the combination therapy group was 95.00％,which was significantly higher than 83.33％ in the monotherapy group(P＜0.05).After treatment,traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores(skin lesions,pruritus,rough skin,scales and irritability),inflammatory factors(IL-17,IL-23 and VEGF)levels,scale(PASI,DLQI and VAS)scores as well as loop tube morphology scores,blood flow state scores and loop periphery state scores were signifi-cantly lower compared to pre-treatment values,and these parameters were significantly lower in the combination therapy group than the monotherapy group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Secukinumab combined with E'xian Huaban Decoction can significantly improve clinical symptoms and signs,and enhancing the clinical therapeutic effect.

Objective:To study the clinical outcome of palmar approach to on-top plasty in the treatment of unequal radial polydactyly.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with unequal radial polydactyly in which neither thumb duplicates possess both well-developed proximal and distal components. All the patients underwent palmar approach to on-top plasty between September 2013 and September 2023 at Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and Shanxi Children’s Hospital. At the final follow-up, the active flexion-extension range of motion of the first metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints was measured, along with grip and pinch strength. The Vancouver scar scale was used to assess scar formation (total score 0-15, with higher scores indicating more severe scarring). Additionally, the pediatric quality of life inventory (total score 0-100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life, evaluated by the children themselves or by their parents/guardians on their behalf) and the satisfaction questionnaire (total score ranges from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction) were used to assess the patients’ daily quality of life and parents’satisfaction.Results:A total of 28 pediatric patients were included, comprising 15 males and 13 females, with an average age of 15 months (range: 10-36 months). All cases presented unilateral radial polydactyly, including 18 right hands and 10 left hands. The mean follow-up duration was 4.2 years (range: 1.5-6.0 years). All incisions healed in one stage, and the skin flaps survived well without infection. Joint stability was maintained without any deviation. All reconstructed thumbs demonstrated satisfactory aesthetic appearance. The reconstructed thumbs demonstrated mean active flexion-extension arcs of 76° (range 61°-85°) at the first metacarpophalangeal joint, and 42° (range 21°-65°) at the interphalangeal joint. The grip strength of the hand was 82% (63%-90%) of the normal opposite hand. The key, tip and tripod pinch strength were 76%(66%-83%), 77%(66%-85%) and 79%(68%-87%) of the normal opposite hand, respectively. No scar hyperplasia was found in all cases, and the Vancouver scar scale score was 1.2(0-3) points. The self-assessment score of the children on the pediatric quality of life inventory was 86 points, and the score of the parents/guardians was 91 points. In terms of family satisfaction, 23 patients scored 5, and 5 patients scored 4.Conclusion:The use of palmar approach to on-top plasty to treat unequal radial polydactyly can achieve functional and aesthetic results.

Objective To establish a full-chain follow-up system for tumor patients during chemotherapy and to evaluate its application effect.Methods A full-chain follow-up system was built according to the actual needs of cancer patients during chemotherapy,including 5 modules:patient health records,follow-up plan,risk identification and abnormal reminder,online consultation,interaction between doctors and patients and data visualization analysis and intelligent statistical management.Convenience sampling method was used to select 96 patients with tumor at chemotherapy stage who were treated in a tertiary A hospital in Deyang City,Sichuan Province from February to June 2023 as a test group,and the full chain follow-up system for tumor patients at chemotherapy stage was applied for follow-up;93 patients with tumor at chemotherapy stage were treated from February to June 2022 as a control group for routine follow-up care.Indicators of self-management ability,quality of life and satisfaction with follow-up services were compared between the 2 groups before and after the application of the system.Results 94 cases in the test group and 92 cases in the control group completed the study.After the application of the system,the test group scored(169.44±11.96)on the Cancer Patients Self-Management Scale,higher than(150.76±13.44)in the control group.The score on the Cancer Patients Quality of Life Core Scale was(65.50±7.90),higher than(59.81±7.27)in the control group.The score on the Questionnaire of Satisfaction with the Follow-Up Service was(52.00±3.30),higher than(48.89±3.54)in the control group,and the difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant(P＜0.001).Conclusion The application of the full-chain follow-up system can meet the diversified and multi-level follow-up needs of tumor patients during chemotherapy,achieve accurate,professional and intelligent nursing follow-up services,effectively improve patients'symptom self-management ability and quality of life,and improve patients'satisfaction with nursing services.

OBJECTIVE To understand the changing trends of use of antibiotics and etiological submission rates in medical institutions of Wuhan and find out the key points of management.METHODS The survey data of Wuhan were collected from the cross-sectional survey databases for nosocomial infections in China of 2016,2018,2020 and 2022,and the data were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS From 2016 to 2022,a total of 141 284 hospital-ized patients from 117 medical institutions were enrolled in the survey,and the utilization rate of antibiotics was 32.36％;the utilization rate of antibiotics was 32.87％in 2016,31.74％in 2018,28.75％in 2020,34.56％in 2022,showing an upward trend(x2=13.941,P＜0.001).The utilization rates of antibiotics were relatively high in respiratory medicine department and comprehensive ICU,which showed upward trends(x2=16.377,P＜0.001;x2=5.581,P=0.018);the utilization rate of antibiotics showed a downward trend in non-neonates pediatrics de-partment(x2=11.886,P＜0.001).The rates of prophylactic use of antibiotics for type Ⅰ incision surgery were 31.54％,23.53％,28.44％and 13.24％,respectively,showing downward trends(x2=230.333,P＜0.001).The etiological submission rates were 59.98％,55.77％,65.69％and 59.16％,respectively,which were basically same(P=0.072);the etiological submission rates of the medical institutions with less than 300 beds and 300 to 599 beds showed upward trends,while the etiological submission rates of the medical institutions with 600 to 899 beds and no less than 900 beds showed downward trends(x2=42.019,P＜0.001;x2=4.599,P=0.032).The etiological submission rate was 44.87％in 2018 before the treatment with antibiotics,47.80％in 2020,44.45％in 2022,which were basically same(P=0.431);the etiological submission rate of the medical institutions with no less than 900 beds showed a downward trend(x2=14.464,P＜0.001).CONCLUSIONS The use of antibiotics of the hospi-talized patients is generally normalized in the medical institutions of Wuhan,the utilization rate shows an upward trend,the etiological submission rate is basically same,and the rate of prophylactic use of antibiotics for type Ⅰincision surgery shows a downward trend.It is necessary to attach great importance to the etiological submission of large scale metical institutions before the treatment with antibiotics and the use of antibiotic of some key departments.

Objective To explore the value of diffusion tensor imaging analysis index along the perivascular space(DTI-ALPS)for assessing age-related functional changes in glymphatic system(GS).Methods Totally 27 healthy subjects from Meizhou People's Hospital and 100 healthy subjects from neuroimaging informatics tools and resources collaborator database who underwent T1-weighted magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo(T1-MPRAGE)and DTI scanning were retrospectively enrolled and divided into youth group(n=38),middle-aged group(n=57)and elderly group(n=32).Automated DTI-ALPS index analysis procedure was used to minimize manual errors and derive DTI-ALPS index.The general data,neuropsychological assessment results and DTI-ALPS indices were compared among groups.Spearman correlation analysis was performed to observe the relationships of DTI-ALPS index and age,gender,as well as neuropsychological scores.Results The average age in youth group,middle-aged group and elderly group was(28.5±5.8),(53.7±6.8)and(73.8±2.3)years,respectively.No significant difference of DTI-ALPS index was found between middle-aged group and elderly group(P＞0.05),which were both lower than that in youth group(both P＜0.05).DTI-ALPS index was weakly negatively correlated with age(rs=-0.340,P＜0.001),but not significantly correlated with gender nor neuropsychological assessment results(both P＞0.05).Conclusion DTI-ALPS index was negatively correlated with age in healthy individuals,hence having potential utility for assessing age-related functional changes in GS.
