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.

Lung transplantation is the ultimate therapeutic option for end-stage pulmonary diseases such as interstitial pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumoconiosis. Currently, the shortage of allogeneic lung donors significantly limits the opportunity for end-stage lung disease patients to receive lung transplantation. In recent years, with the rapid development of biomedical engineering technologies, especially the major breakthroughs in genetic modification and cloning, xenogeneic lung transplantation has shown important potential for clinical translation. Among them, genetically modified pigs have become the most promising xenogeneic lung source due to the close similarity of organ size and physiological characteristics to humans, and the ability to perform targeted gene knockouts (such as α-Gal antigen knockout) to reduce the occurrence of hyperacute rejection. This article focuses on the research progress of porcine xenogeneic lung transplantation, systematically reviews the latest achievements and challenges in animal experiments and human trials, and introduces the technical experience accumulated by Shenzhen Third People's Hospital in the porcine-to-monkey xenogeneic lung transplantation model, in the hope of providing practical references for future research in this field.

Objective To identify and cluster non-O1/O139 Vibrio cholerae(NOVC)using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS),and evaluate the feasibility of MALDI-TOF MS as a method for the identification and clustering of NOVC.Methods The NOVC was identified by the MALDI-TOF MS equipped with V5 database,V12 database,highly pathogenic bacteria database,and V5 database combined with self-built spectrum projection and analyzed by the principal com-ponent analysis(PCA)and main spectrum projection(MSP)clustering.Results The NOVC was incorrectly identified as Vibrio al-bensis by the MALDI-TOF MS equipped with V5 database or V12 database,while the MALDI-TOF MS equipped with highly pathogenic bacteria database or V5 database combined with self-built spectrum projection could correctly identify NOVC.The PCA clustering of MALDI-TOF MS could distinguish NOVC from other bacterial strains and refine the differentiation of NOVC species to show the dis-tance relationship between NOVC species.Some spectrum projections of NOVC were extremely similar to the reference strains used to establish the database,and MSP clustering could not distinguish the differences between NOVC species.Conclusion The identifica-tion ability of MALDI-TOF MS for NOVC is limited by its database.The MALDI-TOF MS equipped with highly pathogenic bacteria da-tabase or V5 database combined with the self-built spectrum projection can accurately identify NOVC.The PCA clustering of MALDI-TOF MS has certain reference significance for the intra-and inter-species identification and homology analysis of NOVC.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates from elderly patients(≥65 years)in major medical institutions across China.Methods Bacterial strains were isolated from elderly patients in 52 hospitals participating in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program during the period from 2015 to 2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out by disk diffusion method and automated systems according to the same CHINET protocol.The data were interpreted in accordance with the breakpoints recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2021.Results A total of 514 715 nonduplicate clinical isolates were collected from elderly patients in 52 hospitals from January 1,2015 to December 31,2021.The number of isolates accounted for 34.3％of the total number of clinical isolates from all patients.Overall,21.8％of the 514 715 strains were gram-positive bacteria,and 78.2％were gram-negative bacteria.Majority(90.9％)of the strains were isolated from inpatients.About 42.9％of the strains were isolated from respiratory specimens,and 22.9％were isolated from urine.More than half(60.7％)of the strains were isolated from male patients,and 39.3％isolated from females.About 51.1％of the strains were isolated from patients aged 65-＜75 years.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains(MRSA)was 38.8％in 32 190 strains of Staphylococcus aureus.No vancomycin-or linezolid-resistant strains were found.The resistance rate of E.faecalis to most antibiotics was significantly lower than that of Enterococcus faecium,but a few vancomycin-resistant strains(0.2％,1.5％)and linezolid-resistant strains(3.4％,0.3％)were found in E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible S.pneumoniae(PSSP),penicillin-intermediate S.pneumoniae(PISP),and penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae(PRSP)was 94.3％,4.0％,and 1.7％in nonmeningitis S.pneumoniae isolates.The resistance rates of Klebsiella spp.(Klebsiella pneumoniae 93.2％)to imipenem and meropenem were 20.9％and 22.3％,respectively.Other Enterobacterales species were highly sensitive to carbapenem antibiotics.Only 1.7％-7.8％of other Enterobacterales strains were resistant to carbapenems.The resistance rates of Acinetobacter spp.(Acinetobacter baumannii 90.6％)to imipenem and meropenem were 68.4％and 70.6％respectively,while 28.5％and 24.3％of P.aeruginosa strains were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively.Conclusions The number of clinical isolates from elderly patients is increasing year by year,especially in the 65-＜75 age group.Respiratory tract isolates were more prevalent in male elderly patients,and urinary tract isolates were more prevalent in female elderly patients.Klebsiella isolates were increasingly resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents,especially carbapenems.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance is helpful for accurate empirical antimicrobial therapy in elderly patients.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacterial strains isolated from pediatric intensive care units(PICU)in China for better antimicrobial therapy.Methods Clinical isolates were collected from 17 institutions,including tertiary care children's hospitals and pediatric department of tertiary general hospitals in China from January 1,2020 to December 31,2022.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out according to a unified protocol using Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems.Results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2020.Results A total of 10 688 isolates were collected,including gram-positive organisms(39.2％)and gram-negative organisms(60.8％).The top three organisms were S.aureus(13.6％,1 453/10 688),A.baumannii(10.0％,1 067/10 688),and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(9.9％,1 058/10 688).Multi-drug resistant organisms(MDROs)were very common in children.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE),carbapenem-resistant E.coli,carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae(CRKP),carbapenem-resistant A.baumannii(CRAB),and carbapenem-resistant P.aeruginosa(CRPA)was 41.1％,19.4％,8.8％,30.9％,67.4％,and 28.8％,respectively.Overall,more than 50％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to cephalosporins,while nearly 25％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to carbapenems.MDROs were highly resistant to commonly used antibiotics.More than 80％of CRE and CRAB strains were resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics.CRE and CRAB showed low resistance rates to tigecycline and polymyxin.CRPA showed lower resistance rates to piperacillin,beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations than the resistance rates to third and fourth generation cephalosporins.All of the Staphylococcus and Enterococcus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and tigecycline.None of PRSP strains isolated from meningitis and nonmeningitis samples were resistant to rifampicin,vancomycin,or linezolid.The prevalence of β-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant(BLNAR)strains was 43.3％in Haemophilus influenzae.Conclusions MDROs were prevalent in PICU.It is necessary to establish an effective multidisciplinary team(MDT)to control the antimicrobial resistance.

BACKGROUND:Emodin has a variety of pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory,anti-viral and anti-oxidative stress,and also has a certain protective effect on sepsis-induced myocardial injury,but its mechanism of action is still unclear.OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether emodin can improve myocardial injury in septic mice by promoting autophagy.METHODS:Thirty-two male Kunming mice were divided into sham operation group(n=4),sham operation+emodin group(n=4),model group(n=8),model+emodin group(n=8),and emodin+3-methyladenine group(n=8).The myocardial injury model of septic mice was constructed by cecal ligation and puncture.3-methyladenine(10 mg/kg)was injected intraperitoneally 1 hour before modeling.Emodin(20 mg/kg)was injected intraperitoneally 30 minutes before modeling,and the other groups were injected with the same amount of normal saline at the same time point.Blood and myocardial samples were collected from all mice 24 hours after surgery.ELISA was used to detect the levels of brain natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin Ⅰ in serum.Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expression of LC3B,Beclin-1,and p62 in myocardial tissue.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes in myocardial tissue.Ultrasound was used to evaluate the cardiac function of mice.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the sham operation group,there was no significant difference in the levels of serum brain natriuretic peptide,cardiac troponin Ⅰ,and the protein expression of myocardial autophagy proteins LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ and p62 in the sham operation+emodin group(P＞0.05).(2)Compared with the sham operation+emodin group,the levels of serum brain natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin I were significantly increased in the model group(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the levels of serum brain natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin I were decreased in the model+emodin group(P＜0.05).(3)Compared with the model group,the expression of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ and Beclin-1 protein was increased and the expression of p62 protein was decreased in the myocardial tissue of the model+emodin group(P＜0.05).Compared with the model+emodin group,the expression of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ and Beclin-1 protein decreased and the expression of p62 protein increased in the emodin+3-methyladenine group(P＜0.05).(4)The myocardial fibers in the sham operation group were normal,the myocardial fibers in the model group were disordered with a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration,the myocardial fibers in the model+emodin group were slightly disordered,and some vacuolar changes were observed.The myocardial fibers were disordered,and more inflammatory cell infiltration was observed in the emodin+3-methyladenine group.(5)Compared with the sham operation group,the left ventricular short axis shortening rate and left ventricular ejection fraction were decreased in the model group(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the left ventricular short axis shortening rate and left ventricular ejection fraction were increased in the model+emodin group(P＜0.05).Compared with the model+emodin group,the left ventricular ejection fraction of emodin+3-methyladenine group was decreased(P＜0.05),and the left ventricular short axis shortening rate was reduced but not statistically significant(P＞0.05).(6)The above results indicate that emodin pretreatment can improve myocardial injury and myocardial dysfunction in septic mice by promoting autophagy.

Objective To perform the identification at the subspecies-level of Mycobacterium abscessus(M.abscessus)and analyze its characteristics based on matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS).Methods Bi-otyper software was used to construct the predicted peak spectrum of M.abscessus subsp.abscessus and M.abscessus subsp.massiliense.The predicted peak spectrum was constructed with expected maximum peak value number of 70 and peak frequency of 100％in the ex-perimental group and control group,respectively.A blind test was performed on 31 strains of M.abscessus that were not used to con-struct predictive peak spectra to evaluate the identification efficiency of predictive peak spectra.FlexAnalysis software was used to sum-marize and analyze the list of mass spectral peak value of M.abscessus,and screen the specific peaks in mass spectra of different sub-species of M.abscessus.The principal component analysis(PCA)algorithm was used to perform the cluster analysis for the data from mass spectrometry of M.abscessus,and explore the feasibility of PCA clustering in distinguishing the subspecies of M.abscessus.Results In the experimental group,96.8％(30/31)of the strains were correctly identified,and one strain of M.abscessus subsp.massiliense with rough colony form was mistakenly identified as M.abscessus subsp.abscessus.In control group,77.4％(24/31)of the strains were correctly identified,but 7 strains of M.abscessus subsp.massiliense were incorrectly identified or unable to be identified.The identification efficiency in the experimental group was significantly better than that in the control group with statistical difference(X2=5.167,P=0.026).M.abscessus subsp.abscessus exhibited three specific peaks(m/z 4 001.67,4 386.81 and 4 963.17),and M.abscessus subsp.massiliense also exhibited three specific peaks(m/z 4 950.48,4 381.78 and 5 214.90).In the PCA 3D scatter plot,the data points of M.abscessus subsp.abscessus and M.abscessus subsp.massiliense were relatively dispersed without obvious clus-tering.The PC A dendrograph could be divided into six branches in which only four branches were composed of a single subspecies.The minimum level value of distance between M.abscessus subsp.abscessus and M.abscessus subsp.massiliense was about 0.1.Conclusion The predicted peak spectrum based on MALDI-TOF MS with the expected maximum peak number of 70 could accurately identify M.abscessus at the subspecies level.The specific peak of mass spectrometry method in this study should be feasible to distinguish the subspecies of M.abscessus subsp.abscessus and the subspecies of M.abscessus subsp.Massiliense,but PCA cluster analysis cannot be used as a means to distinguish M.abscessus subsp.abscessus from M.abscessus subsp.massiliense.
