OBJECTIVE To construct and evaluate a perioperative pharmaceutical care model for orthopedic joint replacement based on clinical pharmacy specialty collaboration and medication therapy management （MTM）， so as to provide a reference for improving the level of clinical rational drug use and reducing medical costs.METHODS Patients undergoing orthopedic joint replacement were taken as the research subjects. A specialized collaboration group was established， consisting of the head of the clinical pharmacy group， ward-based clinical pharmacists， and multi-specialty clinical pharmacists. The practice path， service contents，and workflow of MTM for the perioperative period of orthopedic joint replacement were clarified，and a perioperative pharmaceutical care model for orthopedic joint replacement was developed. Data of patients in the orthopedic diagnosis-related groups （DRG）-IC29 group of the department of orthopedics in Daping Hospital，Army Medical University were collected from July 2022 to June 2023 （pre-intervention， 581 cases） and from July 2023 to June 2024 （post-intervention， 843 cases）. The work-implementation indicators in the post-intervention period were counted， and the efficiency indicators and pharmaceutical management indicators were compared between the pre- and post-intervention periods. Meanwhile，200 patients were randomly selected from the pre-intervention and post-intervention groups， respectively， to evaluate the rate of rational medical orders.RESULTS From July 2023 to June 2024， the collaboration group implemented MTM for 843 patients undergoing orthopedic joint replacement via the established perioperative pharmaceutical care model. A total of 1 163 drug‑related problems （DRPs） were identified， and 79 patients with high medication‑related risks were screened out. The most common types of DRPs included （possible） adverse drug events/reactions （48.93%）， unnecessary drug therapy （21.58%）， and ineffective drug therapy （16.25%）. Among the 1 163 DRPs， 895 （76.96%） were completely resolved. Compared with the pre‑intervention period， the post‑intervention period showed reductions in average hospitalization cost per case， average drug cost per case， average length of hospital stay， proportion of drug cost， utilization rate and use intensity of antibacterial agents， and per‑capita drug cost of six main drug categories. The rate of rational medical orders increased from 78.25% to 98.11%.CONCLUSIONS The perioperative pharmaceutical care model for orthopedic joint replacement based on clinical pharmacy specialty collaboration and MTM can help pharmacists identify and resolve DRPs during the perioperative period of orthopedic joint replacement，improve the level of clinical rational drug use，and reduce treatment costs.

The general models for intermediates quality analysis in the production process of Yaobitong capsule were established by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) combined with chemometrics, realizing the rapid determination of notoginsenoside R1, ginsenoside Rg1, ginsenoside Re, ginsenoside Rb1, ginsenoside Rd and moisture. The spray-dried fine powder and total mixed granule were selected as research objects. The contents of five saponins were determined by high performance liquid chromatography and the moisture content was determined by drying method. The measured contents were used as reference values. Meanwhile, NIR spectra were collected. After removing abnormal samples by Monte Carlo cross validation (MCCV), Monte Carlo uninformative variables elimination (MC-UVE) and competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) were used to select feature variables respectively. Based on the feature variables, quantitative models were established by partial least squares regression (PLSR), extreme learning machine (ELM) and ant lion optimization least squares support vector machine (ALO-LSSVM). The results showed that CARS-ALO-LSSVM model had the optimum effect. The correlation coefficients of the six index components were greater than 0.93, and the relative standard errors were controlled within 6%. ALO-LSSVM was more suitable for a large number of samples with rich information, and the prediction effect and stability of the model were significantly improved. The general models with good predicting effect can be used for the rapid quality determination of Yaobitong capsule intermediates.

Folate receptor α(FRα),encoded by the FOLR1 gene,is overexpressed in various solid tumors but minimally expressed in normal cells,making it a prime target for anti-tumor therapy.Antibod-y-drug conjugates(ADCs)can accurately deliver cytotoxic agents to tumor cells,enhancing treatment specificity and efficacy.Recent years have seen remarkable progress in the development of FRα-targeted ADCs,with multiple drugs entering clinical trials and demonstrating promising anti-tumor activity and safety.This review covers the latest clinical advances in FRα-targeted ADCs.It provides a detailed in-troduction to the structure and function of FRα,its expression in solid tumors,and the clinical progress of FRα-targeted ADCs.It particularly focuses on the clinical trials of drugs like Mirvetuximab Sor-avtansine,Luveltamab Tazevibulin,and Farletuzumab Ecteribulin.These drugs have shown significant anti-tumor effects in different cancer types,and Mirvetuximab Soravtansine has received FDA accelerated approval.Despite their potential,FRα ADCs face challenges in clinical applications,such as toxicity management,biomarker definition,and clinical translation.Future research should optimize FRα ADC design,including antibody selection,linker stability,and drug load efficiency,and explore their combi-nation with other therapies to enhance efficacy and broaden the therapeutic window.Additionally,in-depth studies on the role of FRα in the tumor microenvironment and its interaction with other signaling pathways will strengthen the theoretical basis for FRα ADC drug development.In summary,the develop-ment of FRα ADC drugs is rapidly advancing and is expected to offer new treatment options for FRα-posi-tive cancer patients.

Objective To explore the impact of an intelligent puncture navigation used by different physicians with varying years of experience to perform the lung puncture biopsy surgery.Methods A retrospective selection was conducted of 182 patients who completed lung puncture biopsy surgery.The primary parameters were recorded included puncture time,the number of needle adjust-ments,dose length product(DLP),and complications.The physicians were categorized into high-experience and low-experience groups based on their years of clinical practice.The differences of navigation guidance and manual puncture were compared between the two groups.Results The use of navigation guidance significantly reduced the procedure time for both groups of physicians(P<0.05).Additionally,for the low-experience group,navigation guidance notably decreased the number of needle adjustments(P<0.05)and reduced the radiation dose received by patients(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of intelligent puncture navigation can shorten the procedure time,reduce the number of needle adjustments,and lower the radiation dose received by patients in lung puncture biopsy procedures.It also bridges the operational performance gap between low-experience and high-experience physicians,making it a val-uable imaging-guided tool for widespread adoption.

Foodborne illnesses caused by Salmonella pose significant threats to worldwide public health safety.In this study,a rapid method for screening viable Salmonella in oyster sauce and milk was developed by utilizing an electronic microbial growth analyzer(EMGA).Target food samples were diluted 10-fold with RVS broth and loaded into test tubes.Test tubes were positioned in the EMGA to determine the bacterial growth curves and the time required to reach the maximum growth rate(Tmgr).Using Salmonella typhimurium(S.typhimurium)asan model species,there was linear relationship between the logarithmic value of viable bacterial concentration(lgC)and Tmgr over the range of 5×101-5×106 CFU/mL,with a detection limit of 10 CFU/mL.For oyster sauce,the regression equation was Tmgr(min)=-80.775lg[C/(CFU/mL)]+754.96(R2=0.9907),and the recovery rates of S.typhimurium ranged from 95.2%to 119.8%,with relative standard deviations(RSD)ranging from 3.5%to 16.3%.For milk,the regression equation was Tmgr(min)=-71.922 lg[C/(CFU/mL)]+618.65(R2=0.9985),with recovery rates ranging from 98.4%to 110.6%and RSD ranging from 6.4%to 12.8%.The EMGA method required only one portable instrument,and involving only three manual steps,i.e.,dilution,transfer,and insertion.When S.typhimurium contamination reached 106 CFU/mL,the total time consumption,from the unwrapping of samples to the readout of bacterial concentration,was no more than 7 h.When applied to detection of actual oyster sauce and milk samples,the new method demonstrated strong consistency with plate counting results in positive detection rates.This method was superior to the plate counting method,which was generally considered as a gold standard,in terms of accuracy,precision,simplicity and efficiency,representing a promising alternative for the on-site screening and quantification of viable Salmonella in oyster sauce and milk products.

Early-life stress (ES) leads to cognitive dysfunction in female adolescents, but the underlying neural mechanisms remain elusive. Recent evidence suggests that the cell adhesion molecules NECTIN1 and NECTIN3 play a role in cognition and ES-related cognitive deficits in male rodents. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether and how nectins contribute to ES-induced cognitive dysfunction in female adolescents. Applying the well-established limited bedding and nesting material paradigm, we found that ES impairs recognition memory, suppresses prefrontal NECTIN1 and hippocampal NECTIN3 expression, and upregulates corticotropin-releasing hormone (Crh) and its receptor 1 (Crhr1) mRNA levels in the hippocampus of adolescent female mice. Genetic experiments revealed that the reduction of dorsal CA1 (dCA1) NECTIN3 mediates ES-induced object recognition memory deficits, as knocking down dCA1 NECTIN3 impaired animals' performance in the novel object recognition task, while overexpression of dCA1 NECTIN3 successfully reversed the ES-induced deficits. Notably, prefrontal NECTIN1 knockdown did not result in significant cognitive impairments. Furthermore, acute systemic administration of antalarmin, a CRHR1 antagonist, upregulated hippocampal NECTIN3 levels and rescued object and spatial memory deficits in stressed mice. Our findings underscore the critical role of dCA1 NECTIN3 in mediating ES-induced object recognition memory deficits in adolescent female mice, highlighting it as a potential therapeutic target for stress-related psychiatric disorders in women.
