Objective: To develop a RHCE genotyping assay based on kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) and assess its clinical accuracy for RhCE blood group determination. Methods: KASP primers were designed to interrogate three RHCE loci: the 109 bp insertion/deletion in intron 2, c. 307T>C, and c. 676C>G. A total of 1 194 RhD-positive inpatients from Chengdu were typed by both KASP genotyping and manual tube serology. Discordant samples (n=10) were retested by both methods and further resolved by Sanger sequencing. An additional 377 cases were tested for the c. 48C>G locus to evaluate the predictive accuracy of individual loci and combined locus testing for RhC antigen. Results: Genotyping concordance with serology was 100.0% for both the c. 676C>G locus (RhE/Rhe) and the c. 307T>C locus (Rhc). For RhC prediction using the 109 bp insertion, overall accuracy was 99.7% (1 191/1 194); the 3 discordant cases were confirmed by Sanger sequencing to be false negatives attributable to 109 bp deletion in intron 2. Testing the c. 48C>G allele for RhC prediction yielded 7 false positives, with an accuracy of 98.1% (370/377). RhC antigen status was determined by combining the 109 bp insertion and the c. 48C allele. After excluding 10 samples with inconsistent results between the two loci, the accuracy reached 100% in the remaining 367 samples. When both loci were applied in combination, accuracy reached 100% in the 367 cases with concordant results. Among the 1 194 patients, CCee (45.8%) and CcEe (31.7%) were the most common RhCE phenotypes. The e antigen had the highest positivity rate (92.2%), and the Ce haplotype was the most frequent (66.9%). Conclusion: The KASP-based RHCE genotyping method achieves high accuracy for clinical RhCE typing. Combining the 109 bp insertion/deletion with the c. 48C allele significantly improves RhC antigen prediction compared with either locus alone. This method was applied to RhCE genotyping of 1 194 RhD-positive inpatients in Chengdu, providing local RhCE phenotype and haplotype distribution data to support RhCE-matched transfusion practice.

ObjectiveTo construct a scale for the diagnosis of chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG） with turbid toxin accumulating in the stomach. MethodsFirst， a research group was established to construct the scale framework. Relevant literature of CAG with syndrome of turbid toxin accumulating in the stomach was searched in CNKI， Wanfang Database （WF）， and VIP Database （CQVIP） from April 1， 2003 to April 1， 2023， and items were preliminarily selected after standardization of terms. Through clinical investigation， the discrete trend method， correlation coefficient method， Cronbach's coefficient method， and factor analysis method were used to screen symptom items， and the frequency method was used to screen signs， tongue coating， and pulse conditions. Three rounds of Delphi expert consultation were conducted to determine the items of the scale. The weight of each item was obtained by the analytic hierarchy process. ResultsA total of 49 articles were included， and 45 items were obtained after primary screening， including 28 symptoms， 2 signs， 10 tongue coatings， and 5 pulse conditions. After clinical investigation， 15 symptoms were retained， and 8 signs and pulse conditions of tongue coating were retained. The positive coefficients of experts in three rounds of Delphi expert consultation were 100%， 96.67%， and 100%， respectively. The expert authority coefficients were 0.86， 0.87， and 0.87， respectively， and the coordination coefficients were 0.18， 0.25， and 0.30. After core group discussion， Delphi method investigation， and AHP weight assignment， the diagnostic scale items of CAG with turbid toxin accumulating in stomach syndrome were finally established， namely， dark red or purplish tongue proper with yellow greasy （or dry） coating （30 points）， epigastric stuffiness and fullness or pain （15 points）， sticky and unsmooth defecation （10 points）， taste disturbance （sticky mouth， fetid breath， bitter taste， 7 points）， heartburn or acid regurgitation （6 points）， dizziness and clouding （5 points）， general heaviness and fatigue （5 points）， slippery， string‑slippery， or slippery‑rapid pulse （5 points）， dysuria （or yellow or deep yellow urine， 4 points）， poor appetite （4 points）， dull complexion （3 points）， sticky， greasy， and fetid secretions （3 points）， and poor sleep （3 points）. ConclusionBased on the establishment， screening， confirmation， and weighting of an item pool， combined with subjective and objective approaches as well as qualitative and quantitative methods， a diagnostic scale for CAG with the syndrome of turbid toxin accumulating in the stomach was successfully constructed.

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 explore the feasibility of selecting appropriate respiratory motion management strategies for patients undergoing stereotactic radiotherapy for liver cancer using chi-square feature testing and machine learning techniques.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 95 liver cancer patients who underwent respiratory motion evaluation at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between March 2022 and August 2024. Chi-square testing was used to screen features related to respiratory motion evaluation in liver cancer patients. Based on these features, predictive models were constructed using 4 machine learning classification algorithms: support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), and adaptive boosting (AdaBoost). The predictive performance of these models was evaluated using accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F1 value, and area under the curve (AUC).Results:The accuracy values for the SVM, RF, GBDT and AdaBoost models were 0.75, 0.75, 0.70, and 0.82, respectively. The sensitivity values were 0.82, 0.82, 0.64, and 0.82, respectively. The specificity values were 0.63, 0.63, 0.63, and 0.75, respectively. The F1 scores were 0.78, 0.78, 0.67, and 0.82, respectively. The AUC values were 0.85, 0.80, 0.76, and 0.85, respectively.Conclusions:The predictive models constructed by combining chi-square feature testing and machine learning methods can effectively predict the selection of respiratory motion management strategies. Among the models, the AdaBoost model demonstrated the best predictive performance for selecting respiratory motion management strategies.

Objective:To explore the genetic etiology of fetal skeletal dysplasia using whole exome sequencing (WES) and copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) techniques, and the feasibility of using WES as the first-tier method for such fetuses.Methods:Seventy four fetuses with skeletal dysplasia detected by prenatal ultrasound at the Genetic Testing Center of the Women and Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University from January 2020 to August 2024 were selected as the study subjects. Fetal muscle and peripheral blood samples of the pregnant women and their spouses were collected and subjected to WES analysis. CNV-seq was carried out on all fetal muscle tissue samples. And the results were compared with the CNVs indicated by WES. Genetic etiologies were analyzed across different subtypes of skeletal dysplasia. And the feasibility of using WES as the first-tier genetic test for similar fetuses was assessed, in addition with a systematic cost-effectiveness analysis. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Hospital (Ethics No.: QFELL-YJ-2024-201).Results:A total of 50 fetuses were diagnosed, which yielded a diagnostic rate of 67.57%. These included 6 chromosomal aneuploidies, 4 chromosomal CNVs and 40 monogenic disorders. The monogenic diseases had involved 46 variant sites in 23 pathogenic genes, among which 12 were unreported previously, including MYH3: c. 735T>C, ALPL: c. 1324C>T, NEK9: c. 1973G>A, MAGEL2: c. 2024_2025del, LMBR1: c. 423+ 4914A>C, NEB: c. 21273_21276del, COL1A1: c. 2651G>C and c. 2758G>C, ASPM: c. 2473delinsGA, TBX5: c. 704G>A, DYNC2H1: c. 10893del, and DYNC2I2: c. 1270C>T. Substantial concordance was reached between WES-derived CNV calls and CNV-seq findings. No clinically significant CNV was exclusively detected by CNV-seq. Cost-effectiveness modeling demonstrated that implementing WES as the first-tier genetic testing method could reduce the total expenditure when WES unit cost remained below 6.4 folds that of the CNV-seq. Conclusion:Genetic variants including single nucleotide variations (SNV) of monogenic disorders, chromosomal aneuploidies and genomic CNVs are important causes for fetal skeletal dysplasia. WES is an accurate and efficient method for analyzing the etiology of fetal skeletal dysplasia, particularly in those with a family history of similar phenotype or maternal history of adverse pregnancies.

Objective:To explore the detection rate of copy number variations (CNVs) in fetuses with isolated Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) and pregnancy outcomes in order to provide a basis for genetic counseling.Methods:One hundred and eighty eight fetuses who underwent chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) due to isolated CAKUT detected by prenatal ultrasonography at Qingdao Women and Children′s Hospital from January 2021 to December 2024 were selected as the study subjects. According to the ultrasound findings, the fetuses were divided into 8 groups, including renal parenchymal dysplasia group, renal cystic dysplasia group, simple renal parenchymal echo enhancement group, abnormal development of renal collecting system group, duplicated kidney group, ectopic kidney group, horseshoe kidney group, and bladder/posterior urethral abnormalities group. The detection of CNVs was retrospectively analyzed, and the pregnant women were followed up to summarize their pregnancy outcomes. 2 test (or Fisher′s exact probability method) was used to compare the CNV detection rates between the groups. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Qingdao Women and Children′s Hospital (Ethics No.: QFELL-YJ-2025-85).Results:Among the 188 fetuses with isolated CAKUT, 23 CNVs (12.23%) were detected, of which 13 cases (6.91%) were pathogenic and 10 cases were rated as variants of unknown significance (VOUS). Among the 8 groups, the three groups with the highest proportion were renal cystic dysplasia group, renal metaplasia group, and renal parenchymal dysplasia group. The detection rates of pathogenic CNVs in the three groups were 1.79% (1/56), 6.78% (4/59), and 16.67% (5/30), respectively, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Parental verification was conducted on 12 fetuses detected with the CNVs, confirming that 2 cases were de novo and 10 were inherited from parents with a normal phenotype. After genetic counseling, the parents of 9 fetuses opted to terminate the pregnancy, while 11 chose to continue with the pregnancy, and 3 were lost to follow-up. At the time of last follow-up, the youngest offspring was 5 months old and the oldest was 3 years and 11 months old. One child had renal aplasia, and two were born with hydronephrosis, which have been cured through surgery. The remainders had no obvious abnormality with their growth and development. Conclusion:CMA testing has important value for prenatal diagnosis of isolated CAKUT. In this study, the detection rate of pathogenic CNVs has increased sequentially in fetuses with renal cystic developmental abnormalities, renal collecting system developmental abnormalities, and renal parenchymal dysplasia, while there was no significant difference in the detection rate of CNVs. For fetuses with isolated CAKUT detected by prenatal ultrasound, CMA testing should be considered, and reasonable pregnancy decisions should be made based on the results of prenatal ultrasound and parental verification.
