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.

OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of acupuncture combined with a modified Zhengan Xifeng Decoction on the early clinical symptoms and oxidative stress status of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(HICH)of liver-kidney yin defi-ciency syndrome.METHODS A total of 60 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(liver-kidney yin deficiency syn-drome)who successfully received 24-hour acute-phase treatment at the Department of Neurosurgery,Acupuncture and Rehabilitation Department,and wards of Kunshan Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine(Kunshan Traditional Chinese Medi-cine Hospital)from July 2021 to January 2023 were recruited.A randomization table generated by SPSS 22.0 software was used to di-vide the patients into a control group and an observation group,with 30 patients in each group.The control group received symptomatic treatment,conventional rehabilitation training,and modified Zhengan Xifeng Decoction,while the observation group received additional acupuncture treatment on the basis of the control group.The treatment course was 1 month for both groups.Clinical effective rate,TCM syndrome scores,motor and neurological function scores[Activity of Daily Living(ADL)scale,National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS),Modified Ashworth Scale(MAS),Simplified Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA)scale],improvement in hematoma lesions,Fraction anisotropy(FA)ratio(rFA),and serum levels of antioxidant stress response factors Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(Keap1)and nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2(Nrf2)were observed before and after treatment in both groups.RESULTS After treat-ment,the clinical effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05);the TCM syn-drome scores in both groups decreased significantly(P<0.05),with the observation group showing better results than the control group(P<0.05);the ADL and FMA scores in both groups reduced significantly(P<0.05,P<0.01),while the NIHSS and Ashworth Scale scores increased significantly(P<0.05,P<0.01),with the observation group showing better improvement than the control group(P<0.05);serum Keap1 levels decreased significantly in both groups(P<0.01),while Nrf2 levels enhanced significantly(P<0.05,P<0.01),with the observation group showing better improvement than the control group(P<0.05);imaging studies showed that after treat-ment,the residual hematoma volume decreased significantly in both groups(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the rFA value increased signifi-cantly(P<0.05,P<0.01),with the observation group showing better results than the control group(P<0.01).CONCLUSION On the basis of standard treatment for the acute phase,acupuncture combined with Zhengan Xifeng Decoction can significantly improve the early clinical symptoms of HICH patients with liver-kidney yin deficiency,reduce oxidative stress levels,and promote the recovery of nerve and motor functions.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder and its symptoms are subject to the composition of the gut microbiota. However, it is not yet clear how probiotics relieve IBS, and there is no well-acknowledged standards concerning the clinical application of probiotics. This systematic review was conducted on the literature published from January 2020 to December 2023 and included 12 randomized controlled trials on probiotics in the treatment of IBS. Compared with placebo, the probiotic preparations improved the overall efficacy in IBS patients and was also well tolerated, suggesting the potential of probiotics in IBS management. Nevertheless, different probiotic strains, dosages, combinations, and dosing schedules may affect the outcomes. In the future, large-scale, multi-center, long-term follow-up studies are still needed to clarify the effective strains and methods of use and to promote the use of probiotics in the treatment of IBS.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of secondary transport on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for critically ill children.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. Data from 222 pediatric patients who underwent ECMO transport from May 2019 to May 2024 at 5 ECMO centers and Chinese Database of Pediatric Extracorporeal Life Support Organization were collected. The cases were divided into primary and secondary transport groups by nature of transport. The clinical data, including demographics, ECMO indications, transport distance, pre-transport lab results, prognosis and complications were analyzed. Two independent samples t-test, Wilcoxon test, and χ2 test or Fisher′s exact probability method were used to compare the differences between 2 groups and evaluate the safety and efficacy of secondary transport. Results:Among the 222 children transported with ECMO, there were 135 males and 87 females, with an age of 3.0 (0.2, 7.0) years. There were 202 cases in the primary transport group and 20 cases in the secondary transport group. All secondary transport patients had failed attempts at weaning ECMO before transfer. The patients in the secondary transport group were older, had higher rates of surgical cannulation, circulatory support, and pre-ECMO lactate levels compared to the primary transport group (7.0 (2.8, 10.0) vs. 3.0 (0.2, 6.0) years old, 55.0% (11/20) vs. 3.6% (7/202), 80.0% (16/20) vs. 41.6% (84/202), (10±4) vs. (7±6) mmol/L, Z=3.41, χ 2=66.31, 10.99, t=2.24, all P<0.05). In the secondary transport group, the vasoactive-inotropic scores of patients on circulatory support and the oxygenation index for patients requiring respiratory support were higher than those in the primary transport group (83±33 vs. 82±68, 51.0±1.8 vs. 37.4±10.2, t=2.36, 2.63, respectively; both P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in sex, transport distance, pre-ECMO creatinine, arterial blood gas BE values, and ECMO duration (all P>0.05). No life-threatening complications occurred during the transport in either group. Two patients in the secondary transport group underwent heart transplantation, and 1 patient underwent radiofrequency ablation. The overall survival rate between the 2 groups showed no statistically significant difference (45.0% (9/20) vs. 55.4% (112/202), χ2=1.15, P>0.05). Conclusions:Secondary ECMO transport for critically ill children don't increase mortality or life-threatening complications during transport. ECMO patients who cannot receive effective treatment locally can benefit from secondary transport to an advanced ECMO center provides further treatment opportunities.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of negative automatic thoughts between health literacy and childbirth fear of primiparas.Methods:The primiparas who underwent obstetric examination in Department of Obstetrics, Lishui People′s Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the research objects by convenience sampling method. Using cross-sectional survey, the general information questionnaire, Childbirth Attitude Questionnaire, The Automatic Thought Questionnaire and Perinatal Pregnant Women′s Health Literacy Scale were used to investigate. Pearson correlation analysis was performed by SPSS 26.0, AMOS 24.0 was used to construct the mediating effect model of negative automatic thoughts between health literacy and childbirth fear of primiparas, and Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect.Results:A total of 246 questionnaires were distributed, and 235 valid questionnaires were collected. The age of 235 primiparas was (27.56 ± 3.74) years old. The total score of health literacy, negative automatic thoughts, childbirth fear was (173.29 ± 20.20), (88.13 ± 16.50), (46.52 ± 12.67) points. The direct effect of health literacy on childbirth fear of primiparas was -0.319 (95% CI -0.495--0.144), accounting for 56.00% of the total effect. The indirect effect of negative automatic thoughts between health literacy and childbirth fear was -0.251 (95% CI -0.393--0.127), accounting for 44.00% of the total effect. Conclusions:Negative automatic thoughts plays a partial mediating role between health literacy and childbirth fear of primiparas. Nursing staff should formulate intervention measures according to the path of influencing childbirth fear, so as to minimize the level of childbirth fear.

Objective:To evaluate the short-and medium-term therapeutic efficacy of shockwave balloon therapy for TASCⅡ C/D femoropopliteal artery atherosclerosis obliteration.Methods:This retrospective cohort study included 25 patients who received shockwave balloon therapy in five vascular centers from August 2022 to June 2023. All patients were diagnosed with TASC Ⅱ C/D femoropopliteal arteriosclerosis obliterans (13 cases of type C and 12 cases of type D), and underwent intravascular shock wave lithotripsy (IVL) to treat calcified lesions. The immediate effectiveness (residual stenosis<30% and no flow-limiting dissection), safety (whether there were adverse vascular events during the operation) and the rate of salvage stent implantation were recorded. The observation indexes of patients before operation, early postoperative period (immediately after operation or before discharge) and postoperative follow-up period (3, 6, 12 months after operation) were collected. The observation indexes included ankle-brachial index (ABI), Rutherford classification, and minimum lumen diameter (MLD). Repeated measures ANOVA was used to evaluate the changes of observation indexes in the early postoperative and follow-up stages compared with those before operation; Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to evaluate the one-stage patency rate at follow-up and the target lesion revascularization rate free from clinical drive.Results:The immediate effectiveness of surgery was 100% in all patients, with no vascular related adverse events occurred, and no remedial stent implantation was performed. The ABI, Rutherford grade and MLD of the patients in the early postoperative period and each follow-up stage were improved compared with those before operation, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the primary patency rate at 12 months after surgery was 0.78 (95% CI 0.64-0.84), and the revascularization rate of target lesions free from clinical drive was 0.87 (95% CI 0.85-0.95). Conclusion:Shockwave balloon therapy for complex calcified femoropopliteal artery lesions is safe and reliable, with satisfactory short-and medium-term efficacy.
