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.

Uterine fibroids are a common benign tumor of the female reproductive system, characterized by increased menstrual flow, lower abdominal pain, and prolonged menstrual periods. Modern medicine believes that the onset of this disease is related to genetic factors, environmental factors, hormone levels, et al, while the specific mechanism remains unclear, and the prevention and treatment of uterine fibroids has become a hot topic of concern for many experts and scholars in the medical field. At present, the treatment of uterine fibroids in clinical practice is mainly based on hormone drugs and uterine artery embolization, and severe cases require hysterectomy. However, the use of hormone drugs for treatment has serious side effects and is prone to recurrence after surgery. Since hysterectomy can cause severe harm to women, it is necessary to explore safer and more effective treatment methods. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has rich clinical experience in the treatment of uterine fibroids, advocating for syndrome differentiation and treatment. The TCM methods that regulate Qi and blood and balance Yin and Yang have been commonly adopted, with significant efficacy and minimal side effects, being more conducive to the recovery. Guizhi Fulingwan are first recorded in the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber written by the famous medical expert ZHANG Zhongjing during the Eastern Han dynasty. This prescription has the effects of activating blood, resolving stasis, and eliminating mass, and it is thus mainly used for treating abdominal mass in women. In recent years, Guizhi Fulingwan has also been applied in the clinical treatment of tumors and has demonstrated definite efficacy in the treatment of uterine fibroids. Studies have shown that the therapeutic mechanisms of Guizhi Fulingwan for uterine fibroids involve regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis, improving immune function, reducing inflammation, improving hemorheological indicators, inhibiting tumor angiogenesis, and regulating sex hormone levels. This article mainly reviews the treatment of uterine fibroids with Guizhi Fulingwan from three aspects: theoretical basis, clinical application, and pharmacological mechanism. It is expected to provide scientific research ideas and guidance for exploring the clinical treatment of uterine fibroids.

Breast cancer, as one of the major cancers threatening women's health globally, is characterized by high aggressiveness, high malignancy, and poor prognosis. In 2022, according to the World Health Organization, breast cancer ranked second in the incidence of female cancers globally, accounting for 11.6% of all new cancer cases. Western medical doctors mainly use surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy, and molecular targeted therapy to treat breast cancer, which can effectively improve the recurrence rate and death rate of breast cancer patients and prolong the survival period of patients. However, its treatment process is often accompanied by a series of side effects, which bring challenges to patients' quality of life. However, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has demonstrated significant therapeutic effects in inhibiting the proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer cells, reducing toxic side effects produced by chemotherapy, and improving patients' survival rate and quality of life. It is therefore particularly necessary to investigate the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of TCM in breast cancer treatment. The authors combed the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of the etiology and pathogenesis of breast cancer, identification and treatment of breast cancer, TCM compound, TCM single medicine, TCM monomer, and external treatment of TCM to prevent and control breast cancer and found that TCM has a therapeutic effect on breast cancer. It can play a role in increasing the effectiveness, reducing the toxicity, and alleviating the adverse reactions. It can inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation, cell cycle, migration, invasion, immune escape, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), aerobic glycolysis, mitochondrial biosynthesis, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, reduce drug resistance, promote apoptosis, ferroptosis, cell autophagy, and regulate the tumor immune microenvironment by regulating signaling pathways. This paper aims to provide new ideas and methods for experimental research and clinical treatment of breast cancer.

Lung cancer has the highest morbidity and mortality rate among all cancers. Because of the complex pathogenesis, there are limitations in the common Western medicine treatment methods. Clinical and experimental studies have proved that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can not only effectively treat lung cancer and alleviate the clinical symptoms of cancer patients but also reduce the adverse reactions and complications caused by surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy to improve the quality of life of the patients. The biological behaviors of lung cancer cells, such as proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, are closely related to their metabolic reprogramming. Metabolic reprogramming in lung cancer involves a series of metabolic changes such as increased glucose uptake and consumption, enhanced glycolysis, increased amino acid uptake and catabolism, and enhanced lipid and protein synthesis. Studies have reported that TCM active components, extracts, and compound prescriptions can effectively inhibit the biological behaviors of lung cancer by regulating metabolic reprogramming. Therefore, this paper reviews the pharmacological mechanisms of TCM active components, extracts, and compound prescriptions in regulating metabolic reprogramming of lung cancer, with the aim of providing a new way of thinking for the treatment of lung cancer by TCM regulation of metabolic reprogramming of lung cancer cells. The available studies suggest that TCM mainly inhibits the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK)/c-Myc, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and hypoxia-inducible factor-α (HIF-1α) pathways. Furthermore, the expression of monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4), glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK1), pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1), pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), hexokinase (HK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) are inhibited. In this way, TCM inhibits the glucose uptake by lung cancer cells and glycolysis in lung cancer cells to reduce the energy metabolism of tumor cells, ultimately achieving the therapeutic effect on lung cancer.

Objective:To explore the trend of influenza positive rate in Beijing by using classic autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, autoregressive integrated moving average model with exogenous variables (ARIMAX) and vector autoregression model (VAR) to compare the performance of three models in influenza prediction and select the most suitable one for Beijing.Methods:The weekly positive rate of influenza virus nucleic acid test and meteorological data in Beijing from week 1 of 2013 to week 40 of 2024 were collected. The data were divided into four groups with expanding training sets and corresponding testing sets. The training set of the first group was from week 1 of 2013 to week 40 of 2016, and the testing set was from week 41 of 2016 to week 40 of 2017. Subsequent groups extended the training set by one year each time. Data from 2020 to 2023 were excluded due to COVID-19 pandemic. The fourth group used data from the week 1 of 2013 to week 40 of 2023 for training and from the week 41 of 2023 to week 40 of 2024 for testing.Results:The incidence of influenza had seasonality in Beijing with higher incidence in winter and spring. The positive rate of influenza virus was positively correlated with the weekly average atmospheric pressure ( r=0.482, P<0.001) and weekly average wind speed ( r=0.003, P=0.034), and negatively correlated with the weekly average temperature ( r=-0.541, P<0.001). The ARIMAX model incorporating meteorological factors had the best prediction performance, with test set's root mean square error ( RMSE) of 0.115 3 and mean absolute error ( MAE) of 0.076 7 (the RMSE and MAE values for ARIMA and VAR models were 0.117 1 and 0.163 8, and 0.078 6 and 0.122 3, respectively). The prediction results of the optimal model showed that the positive rate of influenza virus would continue to rise in Beijing after October 2024 and reach peak in the second week of 2025, but the peak positive rate would be lower than that of previous influenza season. Conclusions:Compared with the ARIMA model and the VAR model,the ARIMAX model which used meteorological parameters is more suitable for prediction of long-term influenza trend in Beijing. The influenza trend peak was predicted to occur in the second week of 2025, but lower than that in previous influenza season.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD)-assisted non-gas dependent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with an inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap for the treatment of idiopathic macular hole (IMH).Methods:A retrospective cohort study. From June 2023 to February 2024, 33 patients (33 eyes) diagnosed with IMH in Department of Ophthalmology of Changshu Second People’s Hospital were included in the study. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examinations were performed on all affected eyes before surgery. BCVA examination was conducted using the international standard visual acuity chart, and the results were converted into the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity. The minimum diameter of the hole was measured using OCT. All affected eyes received standard 25G PPV treatment through the three channels of the flat part of the ciliary body. According to the surgical methods, they were divided into two groups: the OVD-assisted non-gas-dependent PPV combined with internal limiting membrane inversion and coverage treatment group (OVD group, 17 cases and 17 eyes) and the heavy water-assisted gas-dependent PPV combined with internal limiting membrane inversion and coverage treatment group (heavy water group, 16 cases and 16 eyes). Postoperatively, patients in the OVD group were not required to maintain a strict specific position, whereas those in the heavy water group needed to remain in a prone position for one week. The follow-up time points after the operation were 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. The main observation indicators included BCVA, intraocular pressure, hole closure rate and closure morphology of the two groups, as well as the occurrence of complications. The independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used for the correlation between BCVA at 3 months after surgery and the minimum diameter of the surgical hole and BCVA before surgery. Results:Three months after the operation, the rate of hole closure in the OVD group and the heavy water group was 17 (100.0%, 17/17) and 15 (93.8%, 15/16) eyes, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the hole closure rate ( χ2=1.090) and closure type ( Z=?0.780) between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with before the operation, the logMAR BCVA at each time point after the operation in the OVD group and the heavy water group was significantly improved ( F=2.353, 1.375; P<0.05). One week after the operation, the BCVA in the OVD group was significantly better than that in the heavy water group ( t=-3.760, P<0.01). In terms of intraocular pressure, compared with the baseline value before the surgery, there was a statistically significant difference in the OVD group one week after the surgery ( Z=?3.454, P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the heavy water group at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after the operation ( Z=?5.066, ?3.423, ?2.739; P<0.05). After the operation, one eye in the heavy water group had high intraocular pressure, which returned to normal after combined treatment with intraocular pressure-lowering drugs. No ocular or systemic complications occurred in the OVD group. The results of the correlation analysis showed that postoperative BCVA was correlated with the minimum diameter of the surgical hole and BCVA before the surgery ( r=0.543, 0.658; P<0.05). Conclusions:The treatment of IMH with OVD-assisted non-gas-dependent PPV combined with internal limiting membrane flip coverage has a good effect. It helps promote the early recovery of macular morphology and visual function after surgery, and at the same time can avoid the maintenance of forced position and reduce perioperative risks.
