OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of pharmaceutical quality control on the efficiency and outcomes of standardized medication therapy management (MTM) services for patients with coronary heart disease by using Economic, Clinical and Humanistic Outcomes (ECHO) model. METHODS This study collected case data of coronary heart disease patients who received MTM services during January-March 2023 (pre-quality control implementation group, n=96) and June-August 2023 (post-quality control implementation group, n=164). Using propensity score matching analysis, 80 patients were selected from each group. The study subsequently compared the economic, clinical, and humanistic outcome indicators of pharmaceutical services between the two matched groups. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups after matching (P>0.05). Compared with pre-quality control implementation group, the daily treatment cost (16.26 yuan vs. 24.40 yuan, P<0.001), cost-effectiveness ratio [23.12 yuan/quality-adjusted life year (QALY) vs. 32.32 yuan/QALY, P<0.001], and the incidence of general adverse drug reactions (2.50% vs. 10.00%, P=0.049) of post-quality control implementation group were decreased significantly; the utility value of the EuroQol Five-Dimensional Questionnaire (0.74± 0.06 vs. 0.71±0.07, P=0.003), the reduction in the number of medication related problems (1.0 vs. 0.5, P<0.001), the medication adherence score ([ 6.32±0.48) points vs. (6.10±0.37) points, P=0.001], and the satisfaction score ([ 92.56±1.52) points vs. (91.95±1.56) points, P=0.013] all showed significant improvements. Neither group experienced serious adverse drug reactions. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of new adverse reactions between the two groups (1.25% vs. 3.75%, P=0.310). CONCLUSIONS Pharmaceutical quality control can improve the quality of pharmaceutical care, and the ECHO model can quantitatively evaluate the effect of MTM services, making pharmaceutical care better priced and more adaptable to social needs, thus being worthy of promotion.

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a naturally occurring, low-toxicity, and hydrophilic bile acid (BA) in the human body that is converted by intestinal flora using primary BA. Solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) functions to uptake extracellular cystine in exchange for glutamate, and is highly expressed in a variety of human cancers. Retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RLPS) refers to liposarcoma originating from the retroperitoneal area. Lipidomics analysis revealed that UDCA was one of the most significantly downregulated metabolites in sera of RLPS patients compared with healthy subjects. The augmentation of UDCA concentration (≥25 μg/mL) demonstrated a suppressive effect on the proliferation of liposarcoma cells. [15N2]-cystine and [13C5]-glutamine isotope tracing revealed that UDCA impairs cystine uptake and glutathione (GSH) synthesis. Mechanistically, UDCA binds to the cystine transporter SLC7A11 to inhibit cystine uptake and impair GSH de novo synthesis, leading to reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and mitochondrial oxidative damage. Furthermore, UDCA can promote the anti-cancer effects of ferroptosis inducers (Erastin, RSL3), the murine double minute 2 (MDM2) inhibitors (Nutlin 3a, RG7112), cyclin dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) inhibitor (Abemaciclib), and glutaminase inhibitor (CB839). Together, UDCA functions as a cystine exchange factor that binds to SLC7A11 for antitumor activity, and SLC7A11 is not only a new transporter for BA but also a clinically applicable target for UDCA. More importantly, in combination with other antitumor chemotherapy or physiotherapy treatments, UDCA may provide effective and promising treatment strategies for RLPS or other types of tumors in a ROS-dependent manner.

Objective:To analyze clinical characteristics of primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL) patients.Methods:Clinical features of 22 patients diagnosed as PPL admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2002 to May 2023 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:The median age was 56.4±13.3 years. The median time from onset to diagnosis was 1.0 (1.0, 3.0) months. The main clinical manifestations were abdominal pain (15/22), weight loss (14/22) and jaundice (10/22). Elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was observed in 15/20 (75%) patients. Only 2 (2/9, 22.2%) patients had increased CA199 levels and 2 (2/9, 22.2%) patients had increased CEA levels. The maximum tumor diameter was 5.0 (3.8, 6.9) cm. Contrast-enhanced CT mostly showed low enhancement lesions. Major pancreatic duct dilatation were rare on CT scan (4/20). Fifteen patients were confirmed by pancreatic pathology, of which 8 were obtained by surgery, 4 were obtained by CT or ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy, and 3 were obtained by EUS-FNA. The main pathological type was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (14/22). 19 patients received chemotherapy, and 6 patients died with a median follow-up of 5.0 (1.5, 35.5) months.Conclusions:PPL is rare and easy to be misdiagnosed. Elevated LDH levels, normal tumor markers, and non-dilatation of main pancreatic duct are important diagnostic clues. It is important to obtain pathology by EUS-FNA and other methods for definite diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the related factors of restlessness during the anesthesia recovery period in children with patent ductus arteriosus after interventional surgery.Methods:The clinical data of 92 pediatric patients with patent ductus arteriosus who underwent cardiac catheterization at Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from November 2019 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into two groups based on the occurrence of restlessness during the anesthesia recovery period: a control group ( n = 67, without restlessness) and an observation group ( n = 25, with restlessness). Clinical data from both groups were collected and compared. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify independent risk factors for restlessness during the anesthesia recovery period among pediatric patients with patent ductus arteriosus after interventional surgery. Results:Univariate analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in gender, age, temperament type, surgical duration, resuscitation room stay time, as well as blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation during the anesthesia recovery period between the two groups (all P > 0.05). However, the use of dexmedetomidine during surgery, preoperative anxiety, postoperative pain, and the use of antagonists were identified as risk factors for postoperative restlessness among pediatric patients with patent ductus arteriosus after interventional surgery χ2 = 9.03, 4.95, 5.84, 11.49, all P < 0.05). Multivariate regression analysis results further revealed that preoperative anxiety, postoperative pain, and the use of antagonists were independent risk factors for postoperative restlessness ( OR = 2.870, 4.083, 6.975, P = 0.029, 0.004, 0.002, 95% CI = 1.114-7.389, 1.555-10.722, 2.052-23.711), while intraoperative use of dexmedetomidine served as a protective factor ( OR = 0.318, P = 0.021, 95% CI = 0.120-0.839, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:The intraoperative use of dexmedetomidine, preoperative anxiety, postoperative pain, and the use of antagonists are identified as independent risk factors for postoperative restlessness in pediatric patients with patent ductus arteriosus after interventional surgery. It is crucial for clinicians to be aware of these factors and take preventive measures during the anesthesia recovery period to minimize the potential for harm resulting from postoperative restlessness.

Objective:To explore the expressions and clinical significances of tripartite motif-containing protein 28 (TRIM28), 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1), and N-cadherin in pancreatic carcinoma.Methods:A total of 72 patients diagnosed with pancreatic carcinoma underwent radical resection in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Binzhou People′s Hospital from January 2009 to November 2022 were selected, all of which were pathologically diagnosed as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of TRIM28, PDK1, and N-cadherin in 72 cases of pancreatic carcinoma and paracancerous tissues, to explore the correlation between the expression of them and the clinicopathological features of pancreatic carcinoma, and to analyze the influence of their expression and clinicopathological characteristics on the prognosis of patients. The count data were expressed as the number of cases and percentage, and the Chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Spearman method was used for correlation analysis. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and Log-rank test was used to compare the survival rate, and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors affecting prognosis.Results:The positive rates of TRIM28 (72.22%), PDK1 (65.28%) and N-cadherin (61.11%) in PDAC were significantly higher than those in para-cancerous tissues (26.39%, 33.33%, 34.72%). Moreover, the patients with high expression of the three had the characteristics of low differentiation, late stage, and lymph node metastasis ( P<0.05). TRIM28 was positively correlated with PDK1 and N-cadherin expression in PDAC ( r=0.720, P<0.001; r=0.714, P<0.001), N-cadherin and PDK1 expression in PDAC was also positively correlated ( r=0.854, P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the 2-year survival rate of patients with positive TRIM28, PDK1 and N-cadherin (13.46%, 14.89%, 13.64%) was significantly lower than that of patients with negative tumor (50.00%, 40.00%, 39.29%), the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that patients with poor differentiation, nerve infiltration and lymph node metastasis, TNM stage Ⅲ+ Ⅳ, TRIM28 positive, PDK1 positive and N-cadherin positive had a significantly increased risk of death within 2 years after surgery ( P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that poor differentiation, nerve infiltration, TNM stage Ⅲ+ Ⅳ and TRIM28 positive were independent risk factors for poor prognosis of patients with PDAC ( P<0.05). Conclusions:TRIM28, PDK1 and N-cadherin are highly expressed in PDAC, and the expression level is significantly correlated with the malignant degree of PDAC. TRIM28 is an independent risk factor for the prognosis of patients with PDAC.
