OBJECTIVE To clarify the current development status of clinical pharmacist training bases and the pharmacist workforce in China， and to provide evidence for standardizing base construction and promoting the high-quality development of hospital pharmacy. METHODS Questionnaires were distributed to all clinical pharmacist training bases for urgently-needed health professionals and clinical pharmacist training bases under the Chinese Hospital Association that had been approved by the end of 2023 to collect data including base profiles and pharmacist staffing conditions. Expert teams carried out field investigations to verify the collected data. Descriptive statistical analyses were conducted on the quantity， type and regional distribution of training bases， and the influencing factors of pharmacist staffing in the bases were analyzed. RESULTS Field surveys were completed covering 297 training bases across 31 provincial-level administrative regions. Among the base hospitals， 87.88% were Grade A tertiary general hospitals， and 65.32% were located in provincial capitals. The eastern region had the largest number of bases （136， accounting for 45.79%）， followed by the western region （79， 26.60%）. Great disparities existed among provinces in terms of base quantity and hospital scale. The median proportion of pharmaceutical technical personnel in base hospitals was 4.05%， and the median number of clinical pharmacists per 100 hospital beds was 0.53. Both indicators reached the highest in the eastern region （0.57， 4.43%） and the lowest in the northeastern region （0.45， 3.01%）. A total of 3 627 full-time clinical pharmacists were employed in all surveyed bases， among whom 83.68% held clinical pharmacist training certificates， 35.43% possessed senior professional titles， and 78.19% had postgraduate or higher educational background. The total annual training capacity of the surveyed bases was 4 291 trainees， with obvious differences in annual training capacity across regions and provinces. Training specialties covered 19 specialized disciplines plus one general discipline， and no province could deliver training for all 20 specialties simultaneously. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that geographic region exerte d a significant impact on the proportion of pharmaceutical technical personnel （≥4%） （ P ＜0.05）， while the approval time of training bases and hospital scale had significant effects on the number of clinical pharmacists per 100 beds （≥0.6） （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS China’s clinical pharmacist training system has basically matured and taken initial shape. The distribution of clinical pharmacist training resources is generally consistent with regional population and economic development levels. However， the allocation of pharmaceutical staff and clinical pharmacists has not yet met national standards and clinical service demands.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of quality management in clinical pharmacist training bases in China， and to provide references for the standardized development and improvement of these bases. METHODS A combined approach of questionnaire survey and on-site investigation was adopted， targeting the healthcare highly sought-after talent （clinical pharmacist） training bases in 31 provinces of China as well as the clinical pharmacist training bases affiliated with the Chinese Hospital Association. A training quality management evaluation index system consisting of 25 tertiary indicators was established. Investigations were conducted from two dimensions： structural quality of training and quality management of training processes. Data were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. RESULTS On-site investigations were completed for 297 clinical pharmacist training bases across the 31 provinces， among which 284 were affiliated with the Chinese Hospital Association and 271 were healthcare highly sought-after talent （clinical pharmacist） training bases. In terms of structural quality， the core indicator compliance rate for hospital-level training systems exceeded 80%， the rate of special fund utilization for designated purposes reached 80.13%， and the overall compliance rate for software and hardware facilities surpassed 88%. A total of 1 348 preceptors were employed across the training bases， among whom those with senior professional titles and full-time specialist clinical pharmacists as lead preceptors accounted for 62.91% and 94.36%， respectively. Regarding process quality， the compliance rate for “establishment of clinical practice teaching groups in accordance with regulations during clinical department rotations” was 85.19%， and 79.80% and 76.09% of the bases were found to implement strict confidentiality in theoretical examinations and meet the required scale of assessment cases， respectively. However， formal documents of corresponding training management regulations were formulated in only 57.91% of the bases， and the completeness and standardization rate of training manual completion was merely 47.47%. In addition， considerable disparities in quality management levels were observed among provinces， with issues in training process quality being particularly prominent. CONCLUSIONS The management system， hardware facilities， and preceptor staffing of clinical pharmacist training bases in China are relatively well-established， yet notable variations in quality management exist among training bases across different provinces.

Objective: To examine the association between academic stress and anxiety-depression comorbidity among college students and the potential moderating effect of physical activity, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the development of evidence based mental health promotion frameworks in higher education institutions. Methods: From October 2022 to June 2024, a total of 7 980 students from 21 universities across five provinces/municipalities in China, including Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Anhui, using a combination of convenience sampling and stratified random cluster sampling. Physical activity, academic stress, anxiety, and depression were assessed by using the 24 hour Movement Behaviors Questionnaire, the Chinese College Students Mental Health Screening Scale, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, respectively. Binary Logistic regression was used to examine the associations between academic stress and anxiety, depression, and their comorbidity. The PROCESS macro was employed to test the moderating effect of physical activity. Results: The prevalence of anxiety-depression comorbidity among college students was relatively high (11.53%), with significant differences observed across grades and body mass index (BMI) categories ( χ 2=70.30, 24.63, both P <0.01). Binary Logistic regression revealed that, compared with low academic stress, moderate academic stress among male students was significantly associated with greater odds of anxiety ( OR =2.78), depression ( OR =2.75), and anxiety-depression comorbidity ( OR =2.89) (all P <0.01). High academic stress was associated with elevated odds of anxiety ( OR =6.66), depression ( OR =12.81), and anxiety-depression comorbidity ( OR =13.65) (all P <0.01). Among female students, moderate academic stress was associated with anxiety ( OR =2.58), depression ( OR =1.52), and anxiety-depression comorbidity ( OR =1.70) (all P <0.01). High academic stress increased the risk of anxiety ( OR =6.77), depression ( OR =6.81), and anxiety-depression comorbidity ( OR =7.48) (all P <0.05). The moderation analysis indicated that the interaction between total physical activity duration and academic stress had a significant netative moderating effect on anxiety-depression comorbidity among college students ( β =-0.03, P <0.01). Conclusions Academic stress increases the risk of anxiety, depression, and anxiety-depression comorbidity among college students. Physical activity may attenuate the adverse effects of academic stress on anxiety-depression comorbidity.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of tonifying kidney and replenishing essence on asthenozoospermia patients with the syndrome of kidney essence deficiency and the effects of this method on the adenosine 5′-monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 （mTORC1） signaling pathway. MethodsSeventy-two eligible asthenozoospermia patients with the syndrome of kidney essence deficiency treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2023 to January 2024 were selected and randomly assigned into an observation group and a control group， with 36 patients in each group. The observation group received oral administration of Guilu Tianjing capsules， while the control group received oral administration of L-carnitine oral solution. The treatment course lasted for 4 weeks in both groups. The observed indicators included sperm progressive motility rate （PR）， total sperm motility （PR+NP）， percentage of normal mitochondrial membrane potential （MMP）， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom scores before and after treatment in both groups. A three-month follow-up was instituted to record the conception status of the patients’ spouses. Additionally， eight patients were randomly selected from the eligible patients in the observation group， and four healthy males with normal semen routine examination results were included as the control group for the determination of protein expression. Western blotting was conducted to assess the expression of AMPK， phosphorylated （p）-AMPK， regulatory-associated protein of mTOR （RAPTOR） and p-RAPTOR， and PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 （PINK1） in sperms from the observation group before and after treatment， as well as in the sperms of the control group. ResultsThe pregnancy rate of spouses in the observation group was 9.09% （3/33）， which was higher than that （3.33%， 1/30） in the control group. The total response rate was 84.8% （28/33） in the observation group and 66.7% （20/30） in the control group， with no statistically significant difference. After treatment， both groups were improved considering PR， PR+NP， MMP， and TCM symptom scores （P<0.01）. Moreover， the observation group exhibited more pronounced decreases in TCM symptom scores than the control group （P<0.05）， while the changes in PR， PR+NP， and MMP showed no statistical significance between groups. Compared with the control group， the asthenozoospermia group exhibited upregulations in phosphorylation levels of AMPK and RAPTOR and protein level of PINK （P<0.01）. The administration of Guilu Tianjing Capsules led to downregulations in the phosphorylation levels of AMPK and RAPTOR and protein level of PINK1 （P<0.01）. However， the protein levels of AMPK and RAPTOR demonstrated no significant difference between before and after treatment. During the study period， neither group of patients exhibited any notable adverse reactions. ConclusionGuilu Tianjing capsules can enhance the sperm motility and percentage of normal mitochondrial membrane potential in asthenozoospermia patients with the syndrome of kidney essence deficiency by downregulating the AMPK/mTORC1 signaling pathway， lowering the protein level of PINK1， and inhibiting excessive activation of mitophagy.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D3[25 (OH) D3], insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and bone mineral density (BMD) in the occurrence of osteoporosis (OP) in postmenopausal women.Methods:A total of 87 postmenopausal women admitted to Shanxi Children’s Hospital from Jan. 2020 to Dec. 2023 were chosen and separated into OP group ( n=40) and non-OP group ( n=47) . The differences of clinical features, serum 25 (OH) D3, IGF-1 and BMD were compared, and the correlation analysis between serum 25 (OH) D3, IGF-1 and BMD (including L 1-4 BMD, femoral neck BMD and total hip BMD) was analyzed. Multivariate Logistic regression model and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to analyze the influencing factors of OP occurrence in postmenopausal women and the predictive value of serum 25 (OH) D3 and IGF-1 combined with BMD for OP occurrence. Results:Compared with non-OP group, there were no significant differences in age, body mass index (BMI) , menopause time, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) , or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels in OP group ( t=1.42, 1.03, 1.71, 0.93, 0.76, 0.43, 0.04; P=0.161, 0.306, 0.092, 0.354, 0.452, 0.670, 0.966) , but the proportion of diabetes mellitus significantly increased ( χ2=4.37, P=0.037) . Compared with non-OP group, the levels of serum 25 (OH) D3 and IGF-1 and the values of L1-4 BMD, femoral neck BMD and total hip BMD in OP group significantly decreased ( t=5.37, 4.83, 8.31, 2.01, 3.11; P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.048, P=0.003) . Correlation analysis showed that serum 25 (OH) D3 and IGF-1 were significantly positively correlated with L 1-4 BMD, femoral neck BMD and total hip BMD ( r=0.37, 0.42, 0.29, 0.33, 0.28, 0.29; P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.024, P=0.015, P=0.032, P=0.021) . Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that serum 25 (OH) D3, IGF-1 and L 1-4 BMD were independent influencing factors for OP occurrence in postmenopausal women ( P=0.007, 0.019, 0.001) ROC curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) values of serum 25 (OH) D3, IGF-1, L 1-4 BMD and their combination in the prediction of the occurrence of OP in postmenopausal women were 0.764, 0.752, 0.957 and 0.985, respectively. Conclusion:Serum 25 (OH) D3, IGF-1 and L 1-4 BMD can be used as predictors of OP occurrence in postmenopausal women, and the combined value of the three is higher.
