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 enhance the training quality of anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists， address the resource limitations of a single training base， and promote homogenization of training quality. METHODS A multi-base joint training system for anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists in the Beijing area was established. A mixed research method was employed， collecting data through performance comparisons， questionnaires， and qualitative interviews to compare the differences between the joint training model （experimental group， n＝16） and traditional teaching model （the control group， n＝17）. RESULTS The established joint training system encompassed a unified joint training teaching plan， the formation of a joint training teaching team， the establishment of joint theoretical teaching courses， the implementation of joint case discussions and literature presentations， as well as strengthening the assessment throughout the joint training process. Compared to the control group [theoretical assessment of （76.44±3.66） points， case assessment of （84.31±3.27） points]， the experimental group students achieved higher scores in theoretical assessment （[ 79.85±4.64） points] and case assessment （[ 88.70±5.51） points] （P＜0.05）. Through questionnaires and qualitative interviews， the trainees in experimental group were highly satisfied with the joint training model in terms of theoretical learning， communication skills， and teaching interaction. CONCLUSIONS The multi-base collaborative training system for anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists can integrate advantageous resources and significantly enhance the training effectiveness of anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists， offering value for wider promotion.

OBJECTIVE To provide practical basis and policy recommendations for improving the pharmacovigilance （PV） system construction in medical institutions across China. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted using a mixed sampling strategy of “online random sampling+offline supplementary sampling” to distribute questionnaires among pharmaceutical professionals in tertiary medical institutions nationwide. The questionnaire covered aspects such as the construction of PV systems， job position settings， information system support， operational practices， and multi-stakeholder collaboration. The data were analyzed using descriptive methods and SPSS 20.0 statistical software. RESULTS A total of 70 valid questionnaires were collected from 66 medical institutions， primarily Class A tertiary hospitals. The survey found that 90.00% had designated PV personnel and 74.29% routinely conducted PV activities. However， there were notable disparities in resource allocation and information system capacity， with less than 50% of the institutions conducting post-marketing drug re-evaluation. PV activities were primarily focused on the collection and reporting of adverse drug reactions， with limited capabilities in signal detection and risk assessment. CONCLUSIONS Among the surveyed tertiary hospitals， PV systems have begun to take shape. However， challenges persist in terms of system establishment， resource allocation， risk assessment， and inter-organizational coordination. Policy efforts should focus on strengthening regulatory frameworks， improving information sharing mechanisms， enhancing professional training， and strengthening collaboration between hospitals and market authorization holders to ensure the effective implementation of PV in medical institutions.

Parkinson's disease(PD)is a prevalent condition among the elderly, with its incidence increasing with age and significantly affecting the quality of life in this demographic.Given the unique characteristics of older adults, such as comorbidities, polypharmacy, and reduced sensitivity to treatment regimens, it is essential to not only focus on the efficacy of medications used in PD treatment but also to carefully evaluate the associated drug risks.This article examines a drug risk management approach for treating elderly patients with PD, emphasizing the importance of gathering comprehensive drug information, identifying potential risks associated with drug selection, procurement, storage, prescription, and dispensing, and addressing specific considerations pertinent to the elderly population.Furthermore, the article proposes management strategies aimed at standardizing risk management in the treatment of elderly patients with PD, enhancing clinical pharmacy services in this area, and promoting rational drug use among this vulnerable group.

ObjectiveBased on the new method of animal model evaluation， this paper summarized and analyzed the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） and Western medicine syndromes in existing autism spectrum disorder（ASD） animal models， and put forward suggestions for improvement. MethodRelevant literature on ASD animal models in China National Knowledge Infrastructure（CNKI） and PubMed were searched. According to the diagnostic standards of traditional Chinese and western medicine， core symptoms and accompanying symptoms were assigned values， and the clinical consistency of the models was comprehensively evaluated. ResultMost ASD model experimental animals were rodents， and the modeling methods included genetic and non-genetic. Domestic research focused on biochemical induction， while foreign research used genetic models more commonly. Among all models， valproic acid induction had the highest clinical consistency， followed by the neuroligin 4（NLGN4） and contactin associated protein like 2（CNTNAP2） gene knockout models. Most modeling methods could meet the characteristics of surface validity and structural validity， but did not clearly distinguish TCM syndromes. Currently， there is no model that has a high degree of clinical agreement between TCM and western medicine at the same time. ConclusionThe existing ASD animal models are mostly constructed under the guidance of western medicine， which lacks the characteristics of TCM syndromes. And the selection of evaluation indicators of western medicine is relatively single， without specifying the types of TCM syndromes. It is recommended to apply TCM intervention factors during the process of model preparation， to improve the evaluation indicators of traditional Chinese and western medicine， and to emphasize the study of on non-human primates， so as to lay a solid foundation for future experiments.

Ureterosciatic hernia is a rare type of pelvic floor herniation with no typical symptoms. The resulting ureteral obstruction may lead to hydronephrosis and complications such as urinary tract infection and urosepsis.Fewer than 40 ureterosciatic hernia cases have been reported all over the world. Active surveillance, manual reduction, ureteral stenting and surgical repair are common treatment options. Among them, the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic herniorrhaphy have been recognized. This article review the advances in the diagnosis and treatment of ureterosciatic hernia.

Activating humoral and cellular immunity in lymph nodes (LNs) of nanoparticle-based vaccines is critical to controlling tumors. However, how the physical properties of nanovaccine carriers orchestrate antigen capture, lymphatic delivery, antigen presentation and immune response in LNs is largely unclear. Here, we manufactured gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with the same size but different shapes (cages, rods, and stars), and loaded tumor antigen as nanovaccines to explore their disparate characters on above four areas. Results revealed that star-shaped AuNPs captured and retained more repetitive antigen epitopes. On lymphatic delivery, both rods and star-shaped nanovaccines mainly drain into the LN follicles region while cage-shaped showed stronger paracortex retention. A surprising finding is that the star-shaped nanovaccines elicited potent humoral immunity, which is mediated by CD4⁺ T helper cell and follicle B cell cooperation significantly preventing tumor growth in the prophylactic study. Interestingly, cage-shaped nanovaccines preferentially presented peptide-MHC I complexes to evoke robust CD8⁺ T cell immunity and showed the strongest therapeutic efficacy when combined with the PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor in established tumor study. These results highlight the importance of nanoparticle shape on antigen delivery and presentation for immune response in LNs, and our findings support the notion that different design strategies are required for prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines.

Objective:To screen the serum exosomal microRNAs differentially expressed in early pancreatic cancer patients and evaluate the diagnostic value of exosomal hsa-let-7f-5p.Methods:From January 2019 to January 2020, 19 patients with early pancreatic cancer (early pancreatic cancer group) and 16 patients with chronic mass-forming pancreatitis (pancreatitis group) were selected from Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine who underwent surgery and were confirmed by pathology. Serum samples of the two groups of patients were collected. At the same time, serum samples of 19 healthy volunteers were selected as the normal control group. The exoEasy Maxi Kit was used to isolate serum exosomes. The structural characteristics of exosomes were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The particle size of exosomes was observd by nanoparticle tracking analysis. CD 63 and CD 81, the specific protein marker on the surface of exosomes, were identified by western blotting. The total RNA of exosomes was extracted by the miRNeasy Serum/Plasma Kit, and a small RNA library was constructed after quality inspection. With reference to the small RNA database, the differentially expressed exosomal microRNAs in early pancreatic cancer group, pancreatitis group and normal control group were filtered out. The miRNA candidates were validated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and different expressions of them were analyzed. The role of target genes and metabolic pathways of candidate miRNAs in the occurrence and development of early pancreatic cancer were analyzed by gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopeda of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) enrichment pathway. Results:The isolated serum exosomes can be seen to have cup-like vesicle with the double lipid layer by TEM. The main peak of the particle size of target exosomes was about 150 nm. The expression of exosome specific protein markers CD 63 and CD 81 was positive. Comparing the expression of miRNAs among early pancreatic cancer group, pancreatitis group and normal control group, the specific tumor marker exosomal hsa-let-7f-5p was screened out in this study, and its expression in early pancreatic cancer group was significantly higher than that in pancreatitis group and normal control group (both P values <0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis (ROC) showed that the area under curve (AUC) of exosomal hsa-let-7f-5p to distinguish pancreatic cancer from pancreatitis was 0.843 (95% CI 0.640-1.000). The sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 81.82% respectively. The AUC for distinguishing pancreatic cancer from normal controls was 1.000 (95% CI 1.000-1.000), and both sensitivity and specificity were 100%. The diagnostic efficiency of exosomal hsa-let-7f-5p was equivalent to that of CA19-9 ( P>0.05). The GO analysis results showed that target genes of exosomal hsa-let-7f-5p were mainly involved in complement activation lectin pathway in biological processes, and the proteins expressed by target genes were mainly distributed in cilium, and molecules mostly functioned by combining with nitric-oxide synthase. The KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the target genes were closely related to MAPK signaling pathway. Conclusions:Serum exosomal hsa-let-7f-5p has the potential to be a diagnostic biomarker for early pancreatic cancer.

Objective To investigate the use of hepatoprotective drugs in China in recent years, and to put forward related suggestions. Methods The outpatient prescription data of hepatoprotective drugs were collected from 85 hospitals in 6 cities of China from 2015 to 2019, and a real-world data analysis was performed to analyze the payment method, issuing department, drug category, and use of hepatoprotective drugs. Results A total of 1 113 575 prescriptions were extracted, involving 38 hepatoprotective drugs such as compound glycyrrhizin, polyene phosphatidylcholine, and bicyclol. Hepatoprotective drugs were mainly in tertiary hospitals, and the highest number of prescriptions containing hepatoprotective drugs were observed in department of infectious diseases, department of gastroenterology, and department of tuberculosis. Anti-inflammatory hepatoprotective drugs accounted for the highest proportion of all prescriptions, mainly compound glycyrrhizin, polyene phosphatidylcholine, and bicyclol. Of all prescriptions, 253 429 (22.76%) had the combination of multiple hepatoprotective drugs, with the highest number of 6 drugs, among which polyene phosphatidylcholine combined with bicyclol accounted for the highest proportion. Conclusion There are large quantities of hepatoprotective drugs used by outpatients in China. At present, the hepatoprotective drugs are clinically applied rationally, but there are still some problems to be solved, such as the combination of drugs.
