OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical efficacy of integrating pharmacists into family health teams (FHTs) for long-term medication therapeutical management (MTM) in stroke patients, and empirically evaluate the service model. METHODS A pharmacist team, jointly established by clinical and community pharmacists from the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”), developed a pharmacist-supported MTM model integrated into FHTs. Using a prospective randomized controlled design, 170 stroke patients discharged from our hospital (July 2022-December 2023) and enrolled in FHTs at Suzhou Runda Community Hospital were randomly divided into trial group (88 cases) and control group (82 cases) according to random number table. The control group received routine FHTs care (without pharmacist involvement in the team collaboration), while the trial group xhz8405@126.com received 12-month MTM services supported by pharmacists via an information platform. These services specifically included innovative interventions such as personalized medication regimen optimization based on the MTM framework, dynamic medication adherence management, medication safety monitoring, a home medication assessment system, and distinctive service offerings. Outcomes of the 2 grousp were compared before and after intervention, involving medication adherence (adherence rate, adherence score), compliance rates for stroke recurrence risk factors [blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)], and incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADR). RESULTS After 12 months, the trial group exhibited significantly higher medication adherence rates, improved adherence scores, higher compliance rates for blood pressure and LDL-C targets compared to the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of ADR in the trial group (4.55%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (8.11%), though the difference was not statistically significant (P> 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Pharmacist involvement in FHTs to deliver MTM services significantly enhances medication adherence and optimizes risk factor for stroke recurrence, offering practical evidence for advancing pharmaceutical care in chronic disease management under the family doctor system.

BACKGROUND:Apoptosis plays an important role in secondary brain injury.Therefore,to explore the pathophysiological mechanism of promoting nerve cell survival after traumatic brain injury provides a new direction and theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of traumatic brain injury. OBJECTIVE:To explore the expression changes of Lnx1 molecule in mammalian cortical neurons after brain injury and the possible mechanism involved in secondary brain injury. METHODS:Eighty adult SD rats were divided into 20 male and 20 female mice in sham operation group and 20 male and 20 female mice in traumatic brain injury group.The traumatic brain injury rat model was established by heavy falling method.At 6,12,24,48,and 72 hours after brain injury,the expression of related molecules in damaged cortical neurons was analyzed by RT-qPCR,western blot assay,and immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The brain tissue of traumatic brain injury group was bleeding and obvious tissue injury could be observed.Water content of brain tissue increased after traumatic brain injury.(2)Compared with the sham operation group,the expression of Lnx1 in cortical neurons after traumatic brain injury increased significantly at 24 hours after injury.(3)After traumatic brain injury,the expression of PBK and BCR protein decreased,and the pro-survival factor ctgf increased.(4)These findings suggest that after traumatic brain injury,the expression of Lnx1 is up-regulated in neurons,which may be due to the decrease of the expression of its target molecules PBK and BCR,and further promote the expression of living factor ctgf,which has a protective effect on the damaged neurons.

[Objective] To establish a cryopreservation protocol for small-volume (≤1 mL) red blood cells (RBCs) and to evaluate the reactivity and stability of blood group antigens after cryopreservation, so as to explore its potential application in immunohematology reference laboratories. [Methods] Small-volume RBCs were cryopreserved for 120 days, followed by thawing and deglycerolization to restore the RBC components. The quality of the RBCs was assessed. Serum antibodies were serially diluted and reacted with RBCs before and after cryopreservation, and agglutination scores were recorded to quantitatively evaluate the reactivity and stability of blood group antigens such as Rh, Duffy, Lewis, Kidd, M, and H. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the percentage and mean fluorescence intensity of ABO antigen expression on RBCs before and after cryopreservation to assess the usability of cryopreserved RBCs in flow immunophenotyping and blood group subtype studies. [Results] The hemolysis rate of thawed and deglycerolized RBCs was (0.27±0.10)%, with a supernatant free hemoglobin level of (0.52±0.14) g/L, and the RBC recovery rate was (69.12±7.91)%. The direct antiglobulin test (DAT) was negative for all thawed RBCs. There was no difference in the reactivity of blood group antigens before and after cryopreservation, and no difference in the percentage and mean fluorescence intensity of A and B antigen expression on RBCs before and after cryopreservation. [Conclusion] The small-volume RBC cryopreservation protocol can be applied to immunohematology analysis in reference laboratories and is expected to be widely used in blood group identification, antibody screening, identification, and blood group-related research.

Objective: To retrospectively analyze the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among voluntary blood donors in Qinghai Province over a ten-year period and to provide evidence for refining blood safety screening strategies. Methods: Blood samples from 362 066 blood donors in Qinghai collected between January 2015 and April 2024 were simultaneously screened using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and nucleic acid testing (NAT). Follow-up was conducted for donors with reactive HCV RNA screening results, and alanine transaminase (ALT) was detected by rate method. Results: The HCV positive rate among blood donors in Qinghai was 0.22%. Gender, marital status, number of blood donations, and educational level were associated with HCV infection. Significant differences in HCV positive rates were observed among donors across regions and ethnic groups. The HCV positive rate among donors in Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (with an average altitude of 4 330 m) was significantly higher than that in Xining (0.52% vs 0.21%, P<0.001). Positivity rates were also significantly higher in Salar (0.84%), Hui (0.81%), Zang (0.60%), and Tu (0.45%) ethnic groups compared to the Han ethnic group (0.17%) (P<0.001). The abnormal rate of ALT in HCV-positive donors was higher than in non-HCV donors (6.13% vs 1.55%) (P<0.001). Conclusion: The relatively high HCV positivity rate among blood donors in Qinghai highlights the need for further investigation into viral sources, risk factors, and transmission routes. Optimized screening strategies are essential to ensure blood safety.

Objective:To summarize the clinical features of primary segmental volvulus (PSV) in neonates.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of neonates with PSV who were admitted to the Department of Neonatal Surgery, Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from May 2014 to May 2023. The clinical manifestations, auxiliary examinations, treatment and prognosis of the neonates were summarized, and descriptive statistical analysis was performed on the collected data.Results:A total of 10 neonates with PSV were included, with a mean gestational age of (34.1±3.0) weeks and birth weight of (2 291±646) g. Eight cases had an onset age of 3 d or less, and 2 cases had an onset age of more than 3 d. Abdominal distension was observed as the main manifestation in all cases, while bilious vomiting occurred in seven cases and hematochezia in five cases. Imaging examinations mainly revealed low intestinal obstruction without specific manifestations. Laboratory tests showed metabolic acidosis and varing degrees of anaemia. Nine cases underwent diagnostic abdominal puncture, of which five had bloody ascites, two had clear ascites, one had bloody mixed with fecal-like ascites, and one had chylous ascites. All the cases underwent emergency exploratory laparotomy and segmental small bowel resections with either primary intestinal anastomosis or enterostomy. All cases were successfully cured and had been followed up to the age of 4 months to 9 years with good growth and development as normal children of the same age.Conclusions:Neonatal PSV is an independent abdominal emergency characterized by non-specific clinical manifestations and difficult preoperative diagnosis, but the overall prognosis is favorable after active surgical treatment.
