OBJECTIVE To construct a scientific and systematic quality control index system for intravenous medication admixture， so as to ensure the safety of drug use and improve the quality of medical service. METHODS Based on literature analysis and cross-sectional survey， an initial indicator framework was formulated. Opinions were then gathered through two rounds of Delphi expert consultations， and the expert authority coefficient and Kendall’s coefficient of concordance were calculated to evaluate the consistency. Ultimately， the analytic hierarchy process was employed to determine the weights of each indicator and test for consistency in order to establish a scientific and systematic quality control indicator system for intravenous medication admixture. RESULTS The study conducted two rounds of expert consultation with an average positive coefficient of 95.92% and an average authority coefficient of 0.983. In the second round of the Delphi consultation， the Kendall’s coefficients of concordance for the first-， second-， and third-level indicators were 0.306， 0.440， and 0.394， respectively， all significantly higher than those in the first round （0.211， 0.274， 0.379）. The final quality control system for intravenous medication admixture consisted of 6 first-level indicators （personnel， medicines and consumables， facilities and equipment， process management， environmental hygiene， and outcomes）， 17 second-level indicators （e.g.， education and training， staffing structure， workload， medication management， consumables management， and equipment maintenance）， and 44 third-level indicators （e.g.， average daily workload per person， proportion of pharmacy professionals， competency assessment pass rate， work system assessment pass rate， continuing education frequency and pass rate， and medication inventory accuracy）. CONCLUSIONS The quality control system for intravenous medication admixture developed in this study demonstrates strong authority and scientific rigor， providing a theoretical basis and practical tool for the standardized management of intravenous medication admixture quality in hospitals.

Objective To explore the relationship between circadian rhythm genes and the occurrence, development, prognosis, and tumor microenvironment (TME) of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Methods The Cancer Genome Atlas data were used to evaluate the expression, copy number variation, and somatic mutation frequency of circadian gene sets in LUAD. Gene ontology, Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes, and gene set enrichment analysis were used to explore the potential mechanisms by which circadian rhythm genes affected LUAD progression. Cox regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression, support vector machine recursive feature elimination, and random forest screened circadian genes and established prognostic models, and on this basis constructed nomogram to predict patients’ 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates. Kaplan-Meier survival curves, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and time-dependent ROC curves were drawn to evaluate the predictive ability of the model, and the external dataset of GEO further verified the prognostic value of the prediction model. In addition, we evaluated the association of the prognostic model with immune cells and immune checkpoint genes. Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis was used to explore the molecular characteristics between prognostically relevant circadian genes and different immune cell populations in TME. Results Differentially expressed circadian rhythm genes were mainly enriched in biological processes related to cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, lipid and atherosclerosis, and JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Seven circadian rhythm genes: LGR4, CDK1, KLF10, ARNTL2, RORA, NPAS2, PTGDS were screened out, and a RiskScore model was established. According to the median RiskScore, samples were divided into a high-risk group and a low-risk group. Compared with patients in the low-risk group, patients in the high-risk group showed a poorer prognosis (P<0.001). Immunological characterization analysis showed that there were differences in the infiltration of multiple immune cells between the low-risk group and high-risk group. Most immune checkpoint genes had higher expression levels in the high-risk group than those in the low-risk group, and RiskScore was positively correlated with the expression of CD276, TNFSF4, PDCD1LG2, CD274, and TNFRSF9, and negatively correlated with the expression of CD40LG and TNFSF15. The scRNA-seq analysis showed that RORA and KLF10 were mainly expressed in natural killer cells. Conclusion The prognostic model based on seven feature circadian rhythm genes has certain predictive value for predicting survival of LUAD patients. Dysregulated expression of circadian genes may regulate the occurrence, progression as well as prognosis of LUAD through affecting TME, which provides a possible direction for finding potential strategies for treating LUAD from the perspective of mechanism by which circadian disorder affects immune cells.

Objective To investigate the cognition level and behavior compliance of blood pressure measurement in community residents and analyze the related influencing factors, and to provide evidence for community health management and blood pressure control. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate 4470 community patients. Questionnaires included basic personal information，blood pressure measurement cognition, and blood pressure measurement behavior related issues. SPSS 19.0 was used to analyze the basic information, blood pressure measurement cognition, and pressure measurement behavior of the survey subjects. Logistic regression was performed to analyze relevant factors affecting blood pressure measurement cognition and behavior compliance. Results The overall cognitive compliance rate for blood pressure measurement among the visiting community patients was 31.52%. Age, education level, and chronic disease had a statistically significant impact on the cognitive knowledge (P<0.05). The overall behavior compliance rate of blood pressure measurement among the community patients was 23.69%. The cognition, age and education had a statistically significant impact on the overall behavior compliance rate of blood pressure measurement (P<0.05). Conclusion The cognitive level and standardized behavior of blood pressure measurement of community patients need to be improved. More attention should be paid to the elderly, low education level residents and community residents without chronic diseases, to promote community residents to form correct and standardized behavior of blood pressure measurement through health education.

Objective To investigate the value of secreted frizzled-related protein 1(SFRP1),GATA binding protein 3(GATA3)combined with human papillomavirus deoxyribonucleic acid(HPV-DNA)in predicting the risk of postoperative recurrence of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN)with positive thin-prep cytologic test(TCT).Methods A total of 200 patients with high-grade CIN and positive TCT results from July 2021 to July 2023 were selected as study subjects.All patients underwent cervical conization,and were divided into recurrence group and non-recurrence group according to the recurrence status one year after surgery.The clinical data,HPV-DNA viral load,and the relative expression levels of SFRP1 mRNA and GATA3 mRNA in cer-vical tissues were compared between the two groups.The HPV-DNA viral load,SFRP1 mRNA,and GATA3 mRNA expression levels in patients with different CIN grades were compared,and their cor-relations with CIN grade and the risk of postoperative recurrence were analyzed.The predictive val-ues of SFRP1,GATA3,and HPV-DNA for the risk of postoperative recurrence were analyzed.Results Among 200 patients,2 were lost during the follow-up period.The recurrence group(n=30)had higher proportions of CIN grade Ⅲ,glandular involvement,positive surgical margins,high-risk human papillomavirus(HPV),higher HPV-DNA viral load,and a higher proportion of HPV positivity at 6 months after surgery compared with the non-recurrence group(n=168),and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of SFRP1 mRNA and GATA3 mRNA in cervical tissues of the recurrence group were lower than those of the non-recur-rence group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).The HPV-DNA level in pa-tients with CIN grade Ⅲ was higher than that in those with CIN grade Ⅱ,and the relative expres-sion levels of SFRP1 mRNA and GATA3 mRNA in cervical tissues were lower than those in patients with CIN grade Ⅱ,and the differences were all statistically significant(P＜0.001).Spearman cor-relation analysis showed that HPV-DNA was positively correlated with CIN grade(P＜0.001),while the relative expression levels of SFRP1 mRNA and GATA3 mRNA in cervical tissues were neg-atively correlated with CIN grade(P＜0.001).Logistic regression analysis showed that HPV-DNA,the relative expression levels of SFRP1 mRNA and GATA3 mRNA in cervical tissues were independ-ent influencing factors for the risk of postoperative recurrence(P＜0.001).The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve results showed that the areas under the curve(AUCs)for predicting the risk of postoperative recurrence by HPV-DNA,the relative expression levels of SFRP1 mRNA and GATA3 mRNA in cervical tissues were 0.787,0.781,and 0.764,respectively,with sensitivities of 80.00％,76.67％,and 76.67％,and specificities of 74.40％,73.81％,and 67.26％,respec-tively.The AUC for the combined prediction of the risk of postoperative recurrence by the three indica-tors was 0.924,with a sensitivity of 80.00％and a specificity of 93.45％,which was superior to the pre-dictive values of each indicator alone(Z=3.159,3.306,4.018,P＜0.001).Conclusion HPV-DNA,SFRP1,and GATA3 in cervical tissues have certain predictive values for the risk of postoperative re-currence in patients with high-grade CIN and positive TCT results,and combined detection can im-prove the predictive efficacy.

[Objective] To explore the effects of dyslipidemia and obesity on high-risk prostate cancer, so as to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer. [Methods] The clinical data of 175 patients with prostate cancer admitted to our hospital during Jun.2016 and Jun.2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 122 high-risk prostate cancer and 53 non-high-risk prostate cancer.The logistic regression analysis were conducted to identify independent risk factors affecting the occurrence of high-risk prostate cancer.Evaluate the predictive value and optimal cutoff value of risk factors such as age, cholesterol, body mass index (BMI), and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) for the occurrence of high-risk prostate cancer through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.Spearman analysis was used to investigate the correlation between Gleason scores and different risk factors. [Results] The age, BMI, cholesterol, PSA, incidence of obesity (BIM≥25) and high cholesterol in the high-risk prostate cancer group were all higher than those in the non-high-risk prostate cancer group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that age (OR=1.097, 95%CI: 1.005-1.198, P=0.039), obesity (OR=4.459, 95%CI: 1.305-15.239, P=0.017), PSA (OR=1.170, 95%CI: 1.069-1.280, P=0.001), and cholesterol (OR=5.544, 95%CI: 1.304-23.577, P=0.020) were risk factors for high-risk prostate cancer.The ROC curve showed that the optimal cutoff values for age, cholesterol, BMI, and PSA were 74.50 years (AUC: 0.748, 95%CI: 0.678-0.818), 3.70 mmol/L (AUC: 0.800, 95%CI: 0.731-0.870), 24.97 (AUC: 0.621, 95%CI: 0.532-0.711), and 18.67 ng/mL (AUC: 0.864, 95%CI: 0.813-0.916), respectively, and the combined prediction value of age, cholesterol, BMI, and PSA for high-risk prostate cancer was the highest (AUC: 0.931, 95%CI: 0.895-0.967). The age (r=0.464, P<0.001), BMI (r=0.222, P=0.003), cholesterol (r=0.501, P<0.001), and PSA (r=0.473, P<0.001) were positively correlated with Gleason by Spearman analysis. [Conclusion] Obesity, age, PSA, and cholesterol level are independent risk factors for high-risk prostate cancer.When the age is ≥74.50 years, cholesterol level is ≥3.70 mmol/L, BMI is ≥24.97, PSA level is ≥18.67 ng/mL, the possibility of developing high-risk prostate cancer is high.

Background Chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH) can effectively alleviate type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this process, the underlying mechanism in its association with the epigenetic regulation of DNA methylation in the promoter regions of glucose metabolism key enzyme genes remains unclear yet. Objective To investigate the effects of CIHH on expression and promoter region methylation of key enzyme genes related to glucose metabolism in diabetes mice, and to explore the underlying mechanism by which CIHH regulates glucose metabolism. Methods Forty C57BL/6J male mice were divided randomly into a normobaric normoxic control (NN/CON) group, a chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia intervention control (CIHH/CON) group, a normobaric normoxic diabetic model (NN/DM) group, and a chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia intervention diabetic model (CIHH/DM) group. The mice in the NN/DM and the CIHH/DM groups were fed for 7 weeks with high-fat and high-sugar diet. Subsequently, these mice were intraperitoneally injected consecutively with 50 mmol·L⁻¹ streptozotocin (STZ) for 5 d at a dose of 40 mg·kg⁻¹ (body weight) per day to create T2DM model mice. The mice in the CIHH/DM and the CIHH/CON groups were intervened by simulating hypobaric hypoxia at 5000 m altitude for 6 h per day, while the mice in the NN/DM and the NN/CON groups were always placed in a normobaric normoxic environment. All mice were continuously treated for 4 weeks, and blood glucose were monitored during this period. After the CIHH intervention experiment, the glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity of mice were evaluated. A set of indicators involved in key glycolytic enzymes glucokinase (GK) and pyruvate kinase (PK), as well as key gluconeogenic enzymes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxyl kinase (PEPCK) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6P) were measured in the liver of mice, including enzyme activity, relative mRNA expression level, and DNA methylation level in the gene promoter regions. Results Compared with the mice in the NN/DM group, the blood glucose levels of the mice in the CIHH/DM group decreased after the 25^th day of the CIHH intervention (P<0.05). Regarding the diabetic glucose tolerance curves, the area under the curve (AUC) of the mice in the CIHH/DM group was lower than that of the NN/DM group (P<0.05). Compared with the mice in the NN/DM group, the mice in the CIHH/DM group showed that the serum insulin content and HOMA of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IRI) decreased (P<0.05), the enzyme activities of GK and PK increased and the relative mRNA expression levels of their genes were up-regulated (P<0.05), while the enzyme activities of PEPCK and G6P decreased and the relative mRNA expression levels of their genes were down-regulated (P<0.05) in liver. The average DNA methylation levels in the promoter regions of GK, PK, PEPCK, and G6P genes in liver of mice in each group were not significantly different (P>0.05), and their correlations with mRNA expression levels were also not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion CIHH intervention may reduce blood glucose level, improve glucose tolerance, alleviate insulin resistance, and regulate the key enzyme activities of glucose metabolism and the relative mRNA expression of their corresponding genes in T2DM mice, but the above phenomena are not related to the DNA methylation levels in the promoter regions of these key enzymes.

Objective: To investigate the trends in incidence and mortality of prostate cancer in Huangpu District, Shanghai Municipality from 2002 to 2019, so as to provide insights into the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer. Methods: The incidence and mortality of prostate cancer among men in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019 were collected from the Shanghai Cancer Registry System. The crude incidence, crude mortality, truncated age-standardized incidence (aged 35 to 64 years) and cumulative incidence (aged 0 to 74 years) of prostate cancer were calculated. The Chinese Fifth National Population Census in 2000 and the Segi's world standard population in 1960 were used to calculate Chinese-standardized rate and world-standardized rate. The trends in incidence and mortality of prostate cancer were evaluated using annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC). Results: A total of 2 672 cases of prostate cancer were reported in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019, and the crude incidence was 33.35/105, the Chinese-standardized incidence was 14.93/105 and the world-standardized incidence was 12.37/105 (AAPC=7.675%, 4.886% and 4.983%, all P<0.05). The incidence of prostate cancer among males at ages of 60 to <70 years and 70 to <80 years appeared increasing trends (AAPC=4.554% and 5.045%, both P<0.05). A total of 1 214 deaths of prostate cancer were reported, and the crude mortality was 15.15/105, the Chinese-standardized mortality was 6.01/105 and the world-standardized mortality was 4.61/105 (AAPC=5.500%, 2.057% and 1.784%, all P<0.05). The mortality of prostate cancer among males at ages of 80 years and above appeared an increasing trend (AAPC=4.220%, P<0.05). Conclusions The incidence and mortality of prostate cancer appeared increasing trends in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019, and the incidence among males at ages of 60 years and above also increased. The screening for prostate cancer among males at ages of 60 years and above should be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis with low-dose and standard-dose recombinant tissue plasminogen activator(rt-PA)in the elderly patients(aged over 80 years)with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods A total of 201 elderly patients with AIS treated at Tianjin Fourth Central Hospital from February 2019 to February 2023 were prospectively included and randomly assigned to the rt-PA low-dose group(n=93,0.6 mg/kg)and rt-PA standard-dose group(n=108,0.9 mg/kg).The incidence of intra-cranial hemorrhage,symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage,fatal intracranial hemorrhage,neurologic deterioration within 7 days and mortality within 90 days were observed to evaluate the safety.The neurologic improvement rate and good prognosis rate at 90 days were used to evaluate the effectiveness.A stratified analysis of 90-day outcomes was performed based on stroke severity and age.Results The incidence of intracranial hemorrhage,symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and fatal intracranial hemorrhage within 7 days in rt-PA low-dose group was lower than that in rt-PA standard-dose group(P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups concerning the residual safety index and the effectiveness index.The 90-day good prognosis rate of moderate stroke sub-group and of≥90 years of age sub-group in rt-PA low-dose group were both higher than that of rt-PA standard-dose group(P＜0.05).Conclusions For AIS patients with moderate stroke and aged over 90 years,intravenous thrombolytic therapy with rt-PA 0.6 mg/kg is recommended.
