OBJECTIVE To systematically investigate the current status and effectiveness of the standardized on-the-job training program for community clinical pharmacists in Shanghai， and to provide a scientific basis for optimizing the training scheme. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect the data from trainees and mentor pharmacists who participated in the program between 2016 and 2024. The survey examined their basic information， evaluations of the training scheme， satisfaction with training outcomes， and suggestions for improvement. Statistical analyses were also conducted. RESULTS A total of 420 valid responses were collected， including 340 from trainees and 80 from mentor pharmacists. Before training， only 30.29% of trainees were engaged in clinical pharmacy-related work， whereas this proportion increased to 73.24% after training. Most mentor pharmacists had extensive experience in clinical pharmacy （76.25% with ≥5 years of experience） and mentoring （78.75% with ≥3 teaching sessions）. Totally 65.59% of trainees and 55.00% of mentor pharmacists believed that blended training yielded the best learning outcomes. Over 80.00% of both trainees and mentor pharmacists considered the overall training duration， theoretical study time， and practical training time to be reasonable. More than 95.00% of trainees and mentor pharmacists agreed that the homework and assessment schemes were appropriate. Trainees rated the relevance of training content to their actual work highly （with an average relevance score ＞4.5）， though they perceived the chronic disease medication therapy management module as significantly more challenging than the prescription review and evaluation module and the home-based pharmaceutical care module. The average satisfaction score of trainees and mentor pharmacists with the training effectiveness of each project was above 4 points， indicating a high overall satisfaction. Inadequate provision of teaching resources was unanimously recognized by trainees and mentor pharmacists as the key area requiring improvement. CONCLUSIONS The standardized on-the-job training program for community clinical pharmacists in Shanghai has contributed to improving pharmaceutical services in community healthcare settings. However， ongoing improvements must concentrate on content design， resource development， and faculty cultivation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of Xiaoqinglong decoction on airway inflammation in asthma with syndrome of cold retention accumulation in lung based on the metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 （MALAT1）. METHODS Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank group， model group， dexamethasone group （positive control， 1 mg/kg）， and Xiaoqinglong decoction group （2.72 g/kg）， with 10 rats in each group. A rat model of asthma with syndrome of cold retention accumulation in lung was established， and the corresponding drugs were administered once daily starting from the second day of modeling for 21 consecutive days. Lung histopathological changes and lung function were evaluated. The levels of superoxide dismutase （SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， interferron-γ （IFN-γ）， tumor necrosis factor α （TNF-α）， and interleukin-13 （IL-13） in serum were measured， and the mRNA expression levels of MALAT1， TNF- α， IL-13， IFN- γ， and transient receptor potential melastatin 2 （TRPM2） in lung tissue were determined. Twenty C57BL/6J wild-type mice and twenty C57BL/6J MALAT1（－/－）mice were randomly divided into wild-type model group， wild-type Xiaoqinglong decoction group， MALAT1 model group， and MALAT1（－/－） Xiaoqinglong decoction group， with 10 mice in each group. The same asthma model was E-mail：yan_peizheng@163.com established， and Xiaoqinglong decoction was administered once daily for 21 days starting from the second day of modeling. The serum levels of SOD， MDA， IFN-γ， TNF-α and IL-13 were measured， along with the mRNA and protein expression levels of TRPM2 in lung tissue. RESULTS The results of the rat experiment showed that， compared with model group， the airway resistance， functional residual capacity， the serum levels of IL- 13， TNF-α and MDA as well as inflammatory infiltration and collagen fiber deposition in lung tissue， and the expressions of IL- 13， TNF-α and TRPM2 in lung tissue were all significantly decreased in the treatment group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The peak expiratory flow， forced expiratory flow at 50% of forced vital capacity， the serum levels of SOD and IFN-γ， and the expression levels of IFN-γ and MALAT1 in lung tissue were significantly increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The results of the mice experiment demonstrated that， compared with the wild-type model group， serum levels of IL-13， TNF-α and MDA in wild-type xiaoqinglong decoction group were significantly reduced （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， while serum IFN-γ levels and SOD activity were significantly increased （P＜0.01）. Compared with the wild-type Xiaoqinglong decoction group， the MALAT1（－/－） Xiaoqinglong decoction group showed significantly decreased serum IFN-γ levels and SOD activity （P＜0.01）， along with significantly increased levels of IL-13， TNF-α and MDA （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， as well as significantly elevated TRPM2 mRNA and protein expression in lung tissue （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Xiaoqinglong decoction may alleviate airway inflammation by regulating the expression of MALAT1， modulating oxidative stress， inhibiting TRPM2 activation， and reducing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Ephedra-Cinnamomum couplet medicinals on respiratory function and airway inflammation in rats with asthma of cold-fluid retention in lung syndrome and its mechanism. METHODS Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank group， model group， dexamethasone group [1 mg/（kg·d）]， and Ephedra-Cinnamomum low-， medium-， high-dose groups [0.234， 0.936， 1.872 g/（kg·d）]， with 10 rats in each group. The model and treatment groups were sensitized by intraperitoneal injection of antigen solution （ovalbumin 100 mg + aluminum hydroxide 100 mg） and challenged with 1% ovalbumin nebulization， along with exposure to a cold environment and ingestion of cold water， to establish the asthma model with cold-fluid retention in lung syndrome. From day 2， rats received corresponding drugs or normal saline intragastrically， once a day， for 21 consecutive days. The general behavioral changes in each group of rats were observed during the experimental process. The lung function parameters [peak expiratory flow （PEF）， airway resistance （Raw）， functional residual capacity （FRC）， expiratory flow at 50% of forced vital capacity （EF50%）] Δ 基金项目 国家自然科学基金青年科学基金项目（No.82004233）； were measured before modeling and after the last medication as well as serum contents of interleukin-6 （IL-6）， IL-13， tumor necrosis factor- α （TNF- α） and interferon-gamma （IFN- γ） after the last medication were determined； the histopathological morphological changes in the lung tissues of rats were also observed； mRNA expressions of IL-6， IL-3， TNF-α， IFN-γ， thymic stromal lymphopoietin （TSLP）， and Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）， as well as protein expressions of TSLP and TLR4 were determined in lung tissue. RESULTS Compared with model group， the lung tissue damage of rats was relieved significantly； Raw， FRC， the contents and mRNA expression levels of IL-6， IL-13 and TNF-α， as well as the mRNA and protein expressions of TSLP and TLR4 were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）， while the contents and mRNA expressions of PEF， EF50 % and IFN-γ were significantly increased in the dexamethasone group and Ephedra-Cinnamomum medium- and high-dose groups （P＜0.05）. Moreover， only a few rats in the two groups exhibited typical symptoms of asthma. CONCLUSIONS Ephedra-Cinnamomum couplet medicinals improve respiratory function and ameliorate airway inflammation in asthma rats with cold-fluid retention in lung syndrome， the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting TSLP/TLR4 signaling pathway and modulating Th1/Th2 imbalance.

This study aims to investigate the scientificity and efficacy of the compatibility of Jinlingzi San from pharmacokinetics. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS) was utilized to determine the plasma concentrations of the active components: toosendanin, tetrahydropalmatine A, and tetrahydropalmatine B at various time points following the gavage of Jinlingzi San and its single medicines in rats. Subsequently, WinNonlin was employed to calculate pertinent pharmacokinetic parameters. The pharmacokinetic parameters in rat plasma were compared between the single medicines and the compound formula of Jinlingzi San. It was discovered that the area under the curve(AUC_(all)) and peak concentrations(C_(max)) of tetrahydropalmatine A, and tetrahydropalmatine B were significantly elevated in the compound formula group compared with the single medicine groups. Conversely, the AUC_(all )and C_(max) of toosendanin notably decreased. Furthermore, the compound formula group had longer mean residence time(MRT) and lower apparent clearance(CL/F) of all three active ingredients than the single medicine groups(P<0.05). These findings indicated that Jinlingzi San enhanced the absorption of tetrahydropalmatine A and tetrahydropalmatine B in vivo, facilitating their pharmacological actions. Concurrently, it inhibited the absorption of toosendanin, thereby preventing potential toxic reactions. Moreover, the compatibility prolonged the residence time of the active ingredients in the body. This study provides a reference for exploring the compatibility rationality of Jinlingzi San.
