OBJECTIVE To know about the perception and current status of drug risk management among pharmacists in Chinese medical institutions， providing insights and recommendations for enhancing the drug risk management system in medical institutions. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted across 28 provinces， cities， and autonomous regions； stratified radom sampling was employed to study the population of medical workers and pharmaceutical professionals in medical institutions nationwide. The survey included information on the survey population， the current status of drug risk management implementation in medical institutions， the cognition， definition and process of drug risk management related concepts， and the content and mode of drug risk management work in medical institutions. Finally， suggestions were collected from various medical institutions on the system construction of drug risk management. Descriptive statistical analysis was adopted to summarize the obtained data. RESULTS A total of 446 questionnaires were collected in this survey， including 420 valid questionnaires and 26 invalid questionnaires. The questionnaire collection rate was 100%，and the effective rate was 94.17%. 51.19% of the respondents No.2020YFC2009001）。 based their understanding of drug risk management on Management Measures for Adverse Drug Reaction Reports and Monitoring， while 87.38% recognized the need for drug risk management throughout the drug use process. 63.33% of the participants stated that their medical institutions had dedicated positions related to drug risk management， with the highest proportion （72.17%） was in third-grade class A medical institutions. 66.43% reported implementing risk management across all drug use stages. Suggestions for the development of drug risk management systems in medical institutions by the research participants focused on enhancing guiding documents， clarifying concepts， establishing information-sharing mechanisms. CONCLUSIONS The overall awareness of drug risk management in China’s medical institutions is high， with practices in place across various stages in multiple forms. However， there remains a need to strengthen institutional documents， management regulations， system development， and information-sharing mechanisms to improve collaborative governance， improve drug management levels， and ensure patient safety.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of coronary artery lesion severity in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods Clinical data of ACS patients admitted to Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from December 2017 to December 2019 were consecutively collected. The modified Gensini score was used to assess the severity of coronary artery lesions. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to identify independent factors associated with coronary artery lesion severity. Results A total of 1 689 ACS patients were included, with an average age of (64.04±11.45) years; 1 353 (80.11%) were male, and the mean modified Gensini score was (8.12±4.03). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that sex (β＝0.97, P＝0.001), age (β＝0.03, P＝0.021), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; β＝－0.03, P＜0.001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; β＝0.58, P＜0.001), apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1; β＝－1.28, P＝0.012), lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a); β＝0.001, P＝0.033], and glycated hemoglobin A_1C (HbA_1C; β＝0.45, P＜0.001) were independent influencing factors of the modified Gensini score. Conclusions Metabolic indicators, including Apo A1, LDL-C, HbA_1C, and Lp(a), may serve as risk factors for coronary artery lesion severity in ACS patients, with Apo A1 demonstrating the strongest impact.

OBJECTIVES: In the early stage of central cervical disc herniation, clinical symptoms may be mild. However, as the spinal cord becomes compressed by herniated nucleus pulposus tissue, progressive edema and degeneration may occur, resulting in more severe clinical manifestations, including limb weakness, bladder and bowel dysfunction, spastic paraplegia of the lower extremities, and even respiratory difficulty. The spinal endoscopic Key-hole technique is widely applied in treating radiculopathic cervical spondylosis and has demonstrated good clinical outcomes. This study aims to analyze and summarize the technical points and therapeutic efficacy of the far lateral Key-hole technique in the treatment of central cervical disc herniation, providing reference for clinical application. METHODS: Eight patients with central cervical disc herniation treated with the far lateral Key-hole technique were included as the experimental group. Another 8 patients who underwent single-level anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) during the same period were selected as the control group. Data collected included gender, age, intraoperative blood loss, incision length, and length of hospitalization. Pain severity was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); cervical function was assessed using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score; and cervical disability was measured by the neck disability index (NDI). Radiological outcomes were assessed using disc height index (DHI), cervical Cobb angle, and operative segment Cobb angle. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the experimental group had significantly less intraoperative blood loss, shorter incision length, and shorter hospital stay (all P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in operation time (P>0.05). Postoperative VAS and NDI scores in both groups were significantly lower than preoperative values, and JOA scores significantly improved (P<0.05). No significant differences were noted between the two groups preoperatively (P>0.05). Postoperatively, the experimental group showed significantly lower VAS and NDI scores and higher JOA scores than the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in DHI before and after surgery in the experimental group (P>0.05), while the DHI increased significantly postoperatively in the control group (P<0.05). Postoperative DHI in the experimental group was significantly lower than in the control group (P<0.05). No significant differences were observed in the cervical Cobb angle either within or between groups (all P>0.05). The operative segment Cobb angle increased significantly after surgery in the control group (P<0.05), while no other operative segment angle changes were statistically significant (all P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The far lateral Key-hole technique offers advantages in treating central cervical disc herniation, including reduced intraoperative bleeding, smaller incision length, shorter hospitalization, and improved postoperative pain relief. Additionally, the technique does not affect cervical physiological curvature or stability in the short term, making it suitable for clinical application.

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerular disease worldwide, accounting for 20%-40% of primary glomerulonephritis cases. Approximately 40% of patients progress to end-stage renal disease within 20 years. Traditional treatments primarily involve renin-angiotensin system inhibitors and glucocorticoids, but some patients show limited response and face infection risks. In recent years, the dual-target biologic agent Telitacicept, which targets B cell-activating factor/B lymphocyte stimulator(BAFF/BLyS) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), has demonstrated significant potentialin the treatment of IgAN. By simultaneously neutralizing BAFF/BLyS and APRIL, Telitacicept suppresses abnormal B-cell activation and the production of pathogenic IgA1, significantly reducing urinary protein levels and preserving renal function. This article systematically reviews its mechanism of action, clinical efficacy, and safety, aiming to provide insights for the clinical management of IgAN.

BACKGROUND:In recent years,the development of liver organoids has made it a hot spot in the field of international liver disease research,but there is still no article on the bibliometric analysis of liver organoids. OBJECTIVE:To explore the hot trends in liver organoids in the last 20 years based on bibliometrics and visualization analysis. METHODS:We searched the articles about liver organoids in the Web of Science Core Collection from January 1,2002 to November 12,2022.Origin,Office,and CiteSpace software were used for bibliometrics and visualization analysis.We statistically analyzed the number of annually published articles,countries,institutions,authors,journals,and keywords of the articles by generating charts.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of modified Tianwang Buxindan （MTBD） on the skin of sleep-deprived （SD） mice and investigate its mechanism. MethodSixty 2-month-old female Kunming mice were randomly divided into a blank group， a model group， a vitamin C （VC， 0.08 g·kg^-1）， and MTBD low-， medium-， and high-dose groups （6.5， 12.5， 25 g·kg^-1）. Except for the blank group， the other groups were subjected to SD mouse model induction （using multiple platform water environment method for 18 hours of sleep deprivation daily from 15：00 to next day 9：00）， continuously for 14 days， and caffeine （CAF， 7.5 mg·kg^-1） was injected intraperitoneally from the 2nd week onwards， continuously for 7 days. While modeling， the blank group and the model group were administered with normal saline （0.01 mL·g^-1）， and the other groups received corresponding drugs for treatment. On the day of the experiment， general observations were recorded （such as body weight， spirit， fur， and skin）. After sampling， skin tissue pathological changes were observed under an optical microscope using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） and Masson staining methods. Skin thickness and skin moisture content were measured. Biochemical assay kits were used to detect skin hydroxyproline （HYP） content， skin and serum superoxide dismutase （SOD） activity， and malondialdehyde （MDA） content. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect serum interleukin （IL）-6， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α， and IL-1β levels in mice. Western blot was used to detect skin tissue type Ⅰ collagen （ColⅠ）， type Ⅲ collagen （ColⅢ）， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）， phosphorylated （p）-PI3K， protein kinase B （Akt）， p-Akt， nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， heme oxygenase （HO）-1， and nuclear factor （NF）-κB protein expression. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group showed varying degrees of changes. In general， signs of aging such as reduced body weight （P<0.01）， listlessness， dull fur color， and formation of wrinkles on the skin appeared. Tissue specimen testing revealed skin thinning， flattening of the dermoepidermal junction （DEJ）， and reduced collagen fibers under the optical microscope. Skin thickness and moisture content decreased， skin tissue HYP content significantly decreased （P<0.01）， skin and serum SOD activity significantly decreased （P<0.01）， and MDA content significantly increased （P<0.01）. Serum IL-6， TNF-α， and IL-1β levels significantly increased （P<0.01）. Skin ColⅠ， ColⅢ， p-PI3K/PI3K， p-Akt/Akt， Nrf2， and HO-1 protein expression significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and NF-κB expression increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the VC group and the MTBD low-dose group showed increased skin moisture content， HYP content， SOD activity， and ColⅠ， ColⅢ， p-PI3K/PI3K protein expression （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and decreased serum MDA content （P<0.05）. In addition， a decrease in serum IL-6 and IL-1β levels was detected in the MTBD low-dose group （P<0.05）， while the above indicators in the MTBD medium- and high-dose groups improved （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionSleep deprivation accelerates the aging process of the skin in SD model mice. MTBD can improve this phenomenon， exerting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects， and its mechanism of action may be related to the activation of the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 signaling pathway.

【Objective】 To explore the correlation between the severity of jaundice in ABO hemolytic disease of fetus and newborn (HDFN) and multiple indicators, in order to achieve accurate diagnosis, timely treatment, and prevent complications in ABO HDFN. 【Methods】 From March 2020 to February 2023, a total of 283 ABO HDFN in our hospital were classified into mild, moderate and severe groups based on total bilirubin levels. The differences in basic data, relevant laboratory indicators and the agglutination intensity of the three hemolysis tests were analyzed and compared. 【Results】 In the severe group, 75% (12/16) were male infants, which was significantly higher compared to 37.5% (57/152) in the moderate group (P<0.05). The values (mg/dL) of transcutaneous jaundice in the mild, moderate and severe groups were:forehead 9.88±1.93 vs 12.34±2.01 vs 15.56±2.69, face 10.25±2.27 vs 13.28±2.32 vs 15.99±2.86, chest 9.67±2.16 vs 12.51±2.11 vs 15.33±2.36, respectively. The values(µmol/L) of direct bilirubin (DBIL) and indirect bilirubin (IBIL) were 9.87±2.06 vs 11.90±2.59 vs 16.12±4.73, and 159.36±37.55 vs 252.98±30.52 vs 353.76±55.68, respectively, and the differences between the mild, moderate and severe groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05) . The creatine kinase (CK) values(unit/L) of mild, moderate and severe groups were 664.15±498.26 vs 500.51 ±451.63 vs 402.63±224.27, and the difference between the mild group and the other two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in the agglutination intensity of the three hemolysis tests among HDFN with different severity of jaundice. 【Conclusion】 Clinicians can predict the severity of jaundice in light of gender, transcutaneous jaundice, DBIL, IBIL and CK of ABO HDFN, for further and graded treatment, so as to avoid the sequelae or even life-threatening consequences caused by ABO HDFN.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical safety of Naoxintong （NXT） capsules after marketing， find out the potential risk factors of the drug as soon as possible， and reveal the incidence， nature， and clinical manifestations of the adverse events （ADE） and adverse reactions （ADR） of NXT capsules， so as to provide a basis for safe use of the drug in clinical practice. MethodA prospective， large-sample， multi-center observational cohort study was conducted to monitor all the 7 345 inpatients and outpatients orally taking NXT in 14 hospitals in China from January to December in 2018， with at least one follow-up. The demographic characteristics， disease type， NXT medication， ADR occurrence， characteristics， and prognosis of the patients were collected. SPSS 23.0 was used for single-factor and multivariate logistic regression to predict the influencing factors of ADR. ResultThe male and female patients accounted for similar proportions. There were 5 081 patients （79.40%） aged ≥60 years and 3 153 patients （49.27%） with body mass index （BMI） exceeding the normal standard. There were 344 （5.38%） patients with a history of allergy to medicines and food， 9 （0.14%） patients with a family history of allergy， and 52 （0.81%） patients with a history of allergic diseases. The ADRs associated with NXT occurred in 22 patients， with the incidence of 0.34%. The clinical manifestations of ADR appeared in 31 cases， involving 10 organs/systems， of which gastrointestinal system damage was the most common （17， 54.84%）. All ADRs were mild or moderate. Most ADRs （19， 86.36%） occurred within 4 weeks after administration. The patients with alleviated NXT-associated ADRs accounted for 81.82%. No indicators related to significant increases in ADR risks were found. ConclusionNXT is well tolerated in the general population. The hospital centralized monitoring for the clinical safety of oral Chinese patent drugs based on HIS data and Web tracking and follow-up system is an essential means for the post-market research on the safety of drugs.

Ursodeoxycholic acid （UDCA）is a natural hydrophilic bile acid derived from cholesterol ，which has a low content in human body ，and can be used for the treatment of gallstones ，cholestatic liver disease ，fatty liver and so on . Due to the differences in the synthesis process ，source of active pharmaceutical ingredients （API）and impurity control standards of UDCA at home and abroad ，the author summarized the synthesis process of UDCA at home and abroad by searching relevant literature ，and analyzed the impurity sources and impurity control standards of API . The results showed that the pharmacopoeia of the United States，the United Kingdom and Europe put forward clear requirements on the synthesis route and impurity control of UDCA ，and formulated corresponding impurity control standards . However，synthesis process and impurity detection standards of UDCA were relatively simple in China . It is suggested that domestic research institutions constantly improve impurity spectrum ，promote the synthesis process ，and improve the quality detection standards of UDCA ，so as to provide a reference for pharmaceutical study and reasonable clinical application of UDCA .

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum fibrous gel protein-3 (ficolin-3) and serum alanine (ALA) levels and gestational diabetes (GDM) .Methods:A total of 98 pregnant women with GDM admitted to our hospital from Jan. 2020 to Aug. 2020 were selected as the observation group, and 98 healthy pregnant women undergoing physical examination during the same period were taken as the control group. The level of serum ficolin-3 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) , and the level of serum ALA was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) . The two groups were compared in terms of serum ficolin-3, ALA levels and biochemical indicators (hemoglobin (HbA1c) , total cholesterol (TC) , high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) , low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) , serum total protein (TP) , serum urea (SU) levels) , and pregnancy outcomes. Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between serum ficolin-3 and ALA levels and various biochemical indexes. Univariate analysis and binary logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the risk factors of GDM.Results:Serum ficolin-3, HbA1c, and SU levels in the observation group were all higher than that in the control group. Serum ALA level was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, TPT showed no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05) . In the observation group, serum ficolin-3 was positively correlated with HbA1c and Su, and serum ALA was negatively correlated with HbA1c and SU ( P < 0.05) . The incidence of adverse outcomes including gestational neonatal asphyxia, neonatal jaundice, giant size, and amniotic fluid contamination in the observation group (26.53%) was higher than that in the control group (12.24%) , The difference was statistical significant ( P<0.05) . The univariate analysis showed that GDM was associated with age, weight gain during pregnancy, serum ficolin-3, ALA, HbA1c, SU, family history of diabetes ( P<0.05) ; Binary logistics regression analysis found that age ≥28 years, weight gain≥ 14 kg, serum ficolin-3≥24ng/ml, HbA1c 6.0%, and a family history of diabetes were risk factors for GDM, while serum ALA≥1.9 μg/ml was a protective factor of GDM, ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The increase of serum ficolin-3 and the decrease of ALA level in pregnant women are risk factors of GDM, and have an adverse impact on the final delivery outcome
