OBJECTIVE To formulate Guidelines for the standardized implementation of pharmacist-managed clinics （ 2026 edition ） in response to the challenges faced by such clinics in China， including uneven development， large discrepancies in service specifications， insufficient patient awareness， and limited medical insurance coverage. METHODS Led by the Pharmaceutical Affairs Professional Committee of the Chinese Hospital Association， the Evidence-based Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association， and the Hospital Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Cross-strait Medical and Health Exchange Association， a total of 19 domestic hospital pharmacy experts were organized. Through a systematic review of national policies and literature research， current practical experience was summarized. Consensus on the contents of the guidelines was reached after in-depth discussions. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS The guidelines covered five sections： definition and connotation of pharmacist-managed clinics， establishment requirements， implementation and management， post competency， and practical research. Firstly， the definition and connotation included three operational forms of pharmacist-managed clinics （independent mode， physician-pharmacist joint mode， and online pharmacist-managed clinic mode） and classified service modes （specialty-specific， drug-specific， and disease-specific pharmacist-managed clinics）. The establishment requirements were further refined， covering system construction （pharmaceutical service management system， quality control and assessment mechanism）， personnel qualifications （professional credentials， continuing education and professional training， etc）， service recipients， as well as service venues and facilities. Subsequently， the implementation and management of pharmacist-managed clinics were proposed， involving service procedures， intervention measures， documentation and records， patient education and follow-up， humanistic care， as well as risk management and quality control. Finally， post competency encompassed the competency requirements for pharmacists providing services in pharmacist-managed clinics， as well as the suggestions on teaching methods； practical research encouraged the conduct of high-quality pharmaceutical practice in the setting of pharmacist-managed clinics. The guidelines provide valuable guidance for the standardized implementation of pharmacist-managed clinics in China in terms of establishment， management， teaching， and research， fill the guideline gap in this field， and can promote the high-quality development of pharmacist-managed clinics.

Background/Aims: Liver transplantation (LT) following total hepatectomy is a life-saving treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The HCC recurrence after LT hinders the effectiveness of the procedure. The objective of this study is to develop a pre-operative risk stratification model based on a liquid biopsy. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive multi-omics study of 260 HCC patients from three centers, including clinical data, low-coverage whole-genome sequencing of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from plasma, as well as whole-exome, single-nucleus RNA, and spatial transcriptomics from matched tumor and non-tumor tissues. Results: We identified cfDNA-derived copy number alteration (CNA) signatures associated with post-transplant recurrence. By integrating cfDNA-derived CNA profiles with single-cell transcriptomic data, we traced recurrence-associated cfDNA to a distinct subpopulation of malignant cells within the primary tumor. These cells were embedded in a pro-metastatic microenvironment of specialized endothelial subtypes and cancer-associated fibroblasts. Notably, most recurrence-associated lesions were detectable in cfDNA prior to liver transplantation (LT). Building on these insights, we developed the ZJU Criteria based on CNA fragments and tumor markers, a pre-LT risk prediction tool that integrates conventional clinical factors with cfDNA-derived CNA signatures, and validated it using internal and independent external cohorts. Conclusion Our findings suggest that post-transplant recurrence commonly originates from advanced subclones that emerge late during tumor evolution. The ZJU Criteria provides an accurate, non-invasive strategy that significantly improves pre-LT risk stratification and clinical decision-making for patients with HCC.

Definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) has become a cornerstone in the treatment of locally advanced esophageal cancer; however, local control remains suboptimal, and persistent lesions or locoregional recurrences after treatment are not uncommon. For patients without distant metastases but with local failure, whether surgical intervention can still offer curative potential remains a major clinical dilemma. Salvage esophagectomy (SE) offers potential long-term survival for selected patients, but this procedure is performed in the context of severe fibrosis, impaired local blood supply, and obscured anatomical planes following chemoradiotherapy, resulting in significantly higher perioperative risk compared to primary esophagectomy. Consequently, controversies exist regarding patient selection, preoperative restaging, choice of surgical approach, extent of lymphadenectomy, gastrointestinal reconstruction, and perioperative management. In recent years, with the refinement of restaging modalities such as PET/CT, the accumulation of experience in high-volume centers, and emerging evidence from clinical studies, the clinical role of SE has gradually shifted from a "high-risk salvage measure" to a "selective curative strategy aimed at achieving long-term survival in carefully selected patients". Nevertheless, standardized guidelines for patient selection, technical approaches, and perioperative management are still lacking. Based on current evidence and clinical experience, experts organized by the Integrated Esophageal Cancer Committee of Chinese Anti-Cancer Association systematically reviewed key issues regarding SE, including its definition, indications, preoperative evaluation, choice of surgical approach, lymphadenectomy, gastrointestinal reconstruction, and perioperative management, and formulated a Chinese expert consensus. This consensus aims to provide guidance for standardized assessment, appropriate referral, individualized surgical decision-making, and optimized perioperative management of patients with locoregional failure after dCRT. Ultimately, this will increase the likelihood of R0 resection, reduce the risk of severe complications, and promote the safer, more judicious, and standardized implementation of SE in high-risk scenarios.

Objective To explore the effects of different education and examination methods on the examination results during the screening/evaluation of patent foramen ovale by contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler(cTCD).Methods Patients who underwent cTCD screening/evaluation for patent foramen ovale in our hospital from May 2023 to February 2024 were retrospectively selected as the research subjects.The patients were divided into the observation group and the control group according to different education and examination methods during the peri-examination period.Patients who received video education,modified Valsalva maneuver,and injection of contrast agent with 20 mL syringe were included into the observation group,and patients who received artificial education,Valsalva maneuver,and injection of contrast agent with 10 mL syringe were included into the control group.The positive detection rate of patent foramen ovale,right-to-left shunt microbubble grading during Valsalva/modified Valsalva maneuver,systolic blood flow velocity,pulsatility index(PI),resistive index(RI),examination duration,total physician-patient communication time,whether occlusion surgery was performed,and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results The positive detection rate of patent foramen ovale by cTCD(82.93%vs.95.92%),the detection rate of the maximum amout(grade Ⅲ)of microbubbles(39.02%vs.61.22%),the total physician-patient communication time during the peri-examination period[11.30(10.00,14.00)minutes vs.8.23(7.00,10.00)minutes],the rate of occlusion surgery(48.78%vs.73.47%),and the total patient satisfaction(80.49%vs.91.84%)showed statistically significant differences between the control group and the observation group(P<0.05).Additionally,the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)for diagnosing patent foramen ovale were 0.718 in the control group and 0.855 in the observation group.Conclusion Peri-examination interventions such as video education,modified Valsalva maneuver,and injection of contrast agent with 20 mL syringe can improve the positive detection rate of patent foramen ovale,reduce ineffective physician-patient communication,and improve patient satisfaction.

Objective To analyze the association between lifestyle and the risk of type 2 diabetes(T2D)among adult residents.Methods The data was sourced from the Shanghai Suburban Adult Cohort and Biobank.A total of 42 096 adult residents who had not developed T2D were recruited from four districts of Shanghai(Songjiang,Jiading,Minhang,and Xuhui)between 2016 and 2019.The follow-up ended on Feb 28,2023.A structured questionnaire was used to collect information on six lifestyle-related items,including smoking,alcohol consumption,BMI,waist circumference(WC),physical activity,and diet.The unhealthy lifestyle scores(UHLS)were calculated by counting the number of all the unhealthy lifestyle items,with a range of 0-6.New-onset T2D events diagnosed by physicians were obtained through the medical information system.Cox proportional hazards regression model and restricted cubic spline model were utilized to evaluate the association between unhealthy lifestyles and the risk of T2D incidence.Results About 28.1%of the participants led 4-6 unhealthy lifestyles.A total of 1 752 new T2D cases were identified during 218 513.4 person-years of follow-up.Analysis of single unhealthy lifestyle showed that abnormal WC(HR=1.5,95%CI:1.4-1.7)and abnormal BMI(HR=1.3,95%CI:1.2-1.5)were associated with an increased risk of T2D.Compared with individuals with a UHLS of 0-1,those with a UHLS of 3 and 4-6 had 30%(95%CI:1.1-1.6)and 50%(95%CI:1.2-1.8)higher risks of T2D,respectively.Each additional unhealthy lifestyle was associated with a 10%increase in T2D incidence risk(HR=1.1,95%CI:1.1-1.2).Conclusion The risk of T2D in adult residents increases with the cumulative number of unhealthy lifestyles.Adult residents with abnormal WC or BMI,or have three or more unhealthy lifestyles accumulated,will increase the risk of new-onset T2D.

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic value of three-dimensional amide proton transfer weighted imaging(APTWI)in distinguishing benign from malignant bone tumors and the diagnostic efficacy of APTWI combined with diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI).Materials and Methods Sixty-nine patients with pelvic and lower extremity bone tumors,confirmed by puncture or surgical pathology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,were prospectively collected from April 2022 to July 2023.On the relevant parameter maps of APTWI and DWI,the asymmetric magnetization transfer rate at a chemical shift of 3.5 ppm[MTRasym(3.5 ppm)]and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)values corresponding to the lesions were measured,respectively.Comparative analysis of differences in each parameter was conducted,and the diagnostic efficacy of these parameters alone and in combination was compared.Results Among 69 bone tumor,24 were benign cases and 45 malignant cases.MTRasym(3.5 ppm)of malignant bone tumors was higher than that of benign tumors[(2.974±0.630)%vs.(2.215±0.963)%],while ADC values of malignant bone tumors were lower than those of benign tumors[(1.143±0.406)×10-3 s/mm2 vs.(1.757±0.449)×10-3 s/mm2],with significant differences between the two groups(t=3.532,-5.645;P<0.001).Receiver operating characteristic curve showed that MTRasym(3.5 ppm),ADC values,and their combination exhibited good performance in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant bone tumors,with the area under the curve being 0.765,0.841 and 0.874,respectively.There were no statistically significant differences in the area under the curve between the combined APTWI-DWI and either APTWI or DWI alone in diagnosing benign and malignant bone tumors(combined vs.APTWI:Z=1.873,P=0.064;combined vs.DWI:Z=1.333,P=0.167).The diagnostic specificity of combined APTWI-DWI was significantly higher than that of APTWI alone(96%vs.56%,P=0.001),but there was no statistically significant difference compared with DWI alone(96%vs.80%,P=0.189).Conclusion APTWI and DWI,either alone or in combination,could serve as effective imaging indicators for distinguishing benign from malignant bone tumors.The combination of APTWI and DWI shows a trend of achieving higher diagnostic efficacy and diagnostic specificity in differentiating benign from malignant bone tumors,thus holding potential clinical application value.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.

Objective This study aims to analyze the adverse event reporting situation,in order to provide suggestions and reference value for hospital adverse event management,and to ensure medical safety.Methods 1459 cases of adverse event reports from a certain hospital's adverse event system from January 1,2023 to December 31,2023 were selected,and the current management status of adverse events was analyzed.Results In the category of adverse events,the top three are drug adverse re-actions,medical equipment,and medical management;in terms of adverse event levels,there was one level Ⅰ event and 56 levelⅡ events;the main causes of adverse events were related to reporting processes,system implementation,and employee manage-ment.Conclusion Strengthening the management of adverse events,paying attention to training in reporting processes,enhan-cing training for employees and adverse event management personnel,and improving systems are necessary to effectively ensure medical safety,and promote the stable development of hospitals.

Objective:To investigate the neuroprotective effects of ginsenoside Rb1 in neonatal mice with Hypoxic Ischemia(HI)and analyze its potential molecular mechanisms.Methods:Seven-day-old C57BL/6 neonatal mice were randomly assigned to three groups:Sham group,hypoxic-ischemic(HI)model group,and HI model+ginsenoside Rb1 intervention group(HI+Rb1),with 10 mice per group.The modified Rice-Vannucci method was used to establish the HI model,and ginsenoside Rb1(20 mg/kg)was administered via intraperitoneal injection for 7 consecutive days post-surgery(once per day).Brain damage was assessed on days 7 and 14 post-surgery by evaluating cortical neurons and glial cell numbers,as well as the activation status of the ERK signaling pathway.Additionally,in utero electroporation(IUE)was used to overexpress the ERK signaling pathway in the cortical neurons,and the impact of ERK activation on glial cell development was observed.Further,IUE was used to overexpress ERK in the cortex of P0 neonatal mice,fol-lowed by the HI model on day 7 to analyze the effects of enhanced ERK signaling on oligodendrocyte development and myelin regeneration.Results:Compared to the HI group,the HI+Rb1 intervention group showed significant improve-ment in motor ability,reduction in brain injury area,less mature neuron loss,and increased newborn neurons.Addi-tionally,the number of oligodendrocytes in the cortex was increased,and the activation of the ERK signaling pathway was enhanced.In mice with overexpression of the ERK signaling pathway in the cortex,there was a significant increase in oligodendrocytes.In the HI model with ERK overexpression,an increased number of oligodendrocyte precursor cells were found around the brain injury area,consistent with the results of ginsenoside Rb1 intervention.Conclusion:Gin-senoside Rb1 exerts neuroprotective effects in neonatal mice with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury,potentially through the enhancement of ERK signaling,promoting oligodendrocyte proliferation and myelin regeneration.
