OBJECTIVE To summarize the current status of position training for clinical pharmacists in China and provide references for the continuous optimization of such training programs.METHODS SinoMed,CNKI,VIP and Wanfang Data were electronically searched to collect position training of clinical pharmacists studies from the inception until November 5th 2024.After data extraction and quality evaluation,descriptive analysis was performed on the results of the included studies.RESULTS&CONCLUSIONS A total of 68 pieces of relevant literature were included in the study.Among them,50 studies reported on training content,49 involved the allocation of teaching resources in the bases,48 addressed training methods,and 39 focused on training evaluation;only 2 studies mentioned faculty development.There were notable variations in the clinical pharmacist training programs across different bases,particularly in the allocation of teaching resources,such as the composition of the teaching team and the utilization of auxiliary teaching tools.Additionally,differences existed in training approaches,such as those employing a single method versus a blended approach.Conversely,the core training content of each base generally revolved around clinical pharmacy practice,demonstrating a degree of consistency.Moreover,the overall emphasis on teacher training and assessment tended to be obviously insufficient.Each base can focus on enhancing the competence of clinical pharmacists by allocating teaching resources,selecting training methods,improving training content,and using evaluation tools,to further enhance the quality of clinical pharmacist training.

ObjectiveTo investigate the pharmacodynamic characteristics and explore the molecular mechanism of Honghua oral liquid （HOL） in relieving neuropathic pain （NP）. MethodHealthy male SD rats were randomly assigned into sham group， model group， low-， medium-， high-dose （0.5， 1.0， 2.0 mL·kg^-1·d^-1， respectively） HOL groups， and a positive drug （pregabalin， 25 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） group， with 6 rats in each group. Spinal nerve ligation （SNL） of L5 was conducted in other groups except the sham group. Drug administration was performed 3 days after the SNL surgery for 2 consecutive weeks， and samples were collected after the end of the administration. During the treatment period， the mechanical pain threshold and cold pain threshold were determined to measure the pain-relieving effect of HOL. Transcriptome sequencing was performed on hippocampal tissue samples from the sham， model， and high-dose HOL groups， and differentially expressed genes between the sham group and the model group as well as the model group and HOL high-dose group were obtained. After pathway enrichment analysis， we selected the targets which were closely related to neuroinflammation for validation， and predicted the specific binding sites of the major active components in HOL with the targets through molecular docking. In addition， the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and interleukin-10 （IL-10） were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） to evaluate the effect of HOL on neuroinflammation in NP rats. ResultCompared with the sham group， SNL decreased the mechanical pain threshold and cold pain threshold （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， HOL recovered the mechanical pain threshold and cold pain threshold （P<0.05）. The transcriptome data showed that 376 differentially expressed genes （DEGs） were identified between the model group and the sham group， including 124 upregulated genes and 252 downregulated genes， and 194 DEGs between the model group and the high-dose HOL group， including 33 upregulated genes and 161 downregulated genes. Among them， insulin-like growth factor 1（IGF1）， matrix metallopeptidase-2 （MMP-2）， matrix metallopeptidase-14 （MMP-14）， erb-B2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 （ERBB2）， and integrin subunit alpha 5 （ITGA5） associated with NP were selected for further validation. The Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR） results showed that compared with the sham group， the modeling up-gurelated the mRNA levels of the above five molecules in the hippocampus （P<0.01）. Compared with model group， HOL down-regulated the mRNA levels of these molecules （P<0.01）. The molecular docking results showed that the main active components of safflower， hydroxysafflor yellow A， kaempferol， and quercetin， formed stable hydrogen bonds with the amino acid residues of IGF1， MMP-2， MMP-14， ERBB2， and ITGA5. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） results showed that compared with those in the sham group， the serum levels of TNF-α and IL-10 were out of balance in the model rats （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， HOL lowered the level of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α （P<0.01） and elevated that of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 （P<0.05）. ConclusionHOL exerts analgesic effect on SNL rats by inhibiting neuroinflammation.

[Abstract] Objective: To explore the expression of PSME3 (proteasome activator complex subunit 3) in gastric cancer (GC) tissues and its correlation with the prognosis of GC patients, and to further analyze its effect and mechanism in the occurrence and development of GC. Methods: The expression level of PSME3 gene in GC tissues was analyzed with TCGA and UALCAN database. qPCR was used to verify the expression of PSME3 in GC tissues and corresponding adjacent normal tissues that resected from 40 GC patients who were surgically treated in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2017 to December 2018. ROC curve and KaplanMeier plotter method were used to analyze the value of PSME3 mainly in diagnosing and predicting the prognosis of GC patients. The biological processes and pathways that PSME3 involved in were further analyzed. Results: The expression level of PSME3 in GC tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues, and it’s high expression was significantly correlated with the tumor stage, pathological subtype, status of lymph node metastasis and Helicobacter pylori infection in GC patients (all P<0.01). PSME3 was also highly expressed in GC tissue samples collected by the qPCR confirmatory detection group (P<0.01). PSME3 could distinguish gastric cancer patients from normal people with an AUC value of 0.808. The overall survival time, the first progression survival time and post progression survival time of the GC patients with low PSME3 expression were longer than those in the patients with high PSME3 expression (all P<0.01). Mechanism research found that PSME3 mainly played an oncogenic role of the development of GC by regulating cell cycle, mTORC1 signaling pathway, PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and TGF- β signaling pathway etc. Conclusion: PSME3 is highly expressed in GC tissues, and it is significantly related to the poor prognosis of GC patients. It plays an oncogenic role in the occurrence and development of GC.

Objective To investigate the effect of hypertonic saline on TNF-а, IL-1β, S-100β level following focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and explore the mechanisms involved. Methods Ninety rats were randomized equally into 4 groups,namely the pseudo-operated group (A group),untreated IR injury group (B group),C group (4.2% hypertonic saline) and D group (7.5% hypertonic saline). Cerebral ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion for 2 h followed by administration of the corresponding treatments in group C and D. After 22 h of reperfusion , TNF-а, IL-1β, S-100βexpression in the ischemic brain tissue were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results After hypcrtonic saline treatment, the two saline-treated groups showed significant reduction in TNF-а、IL-1β、S-100β levels , but were still higher than pseudo-operated group(A group). Compared with B group, significant difference can be seen among C and D group. Conclusion Hypcrtonic saline can reduce cerebral TNF-а、IL-1β、S-100βlevel of isehemia-reperfusion injury.

Empyema after lung transplantation causes dysfunction of the allograft, and it has the potential to cause mortality and morbidity, but the technical difficulty of surgically treating this empyema makes this type of treatment unfavorable. We report here on two cases of decortication for empyema after lung transplantation.

Although subacute granulomatous thyroiditis(SGT) is usually diagnosed clinically, papillary carcinoma or other thyroid conditions must be considered in the differential diagnosis. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and fine-needle aspiration(FNA) cytologic findings seen in 10 SGT cases to decide what are the most reliable cytologic findings and the most helpful molecular tools for reaching a confident cytologic diagnosis. The most representative smear slides were retrieved to perform immunocytochemistry for cytokeratin19(CK19) and Ret protein. Five papillary carcinomas(PTCs) were included as controls. The constant and typical cytologic findings of SGT were multinucleated giant cells(MGCs) (100%), epithelioid granulomas(90%), an inflammatory dirty background(90%) and plump transformed follicular cells(80%) without fire-flare cells, oncocytic cells or transformed lymphocytes. The immunoreactivities for CK19(37.5%) and Ret(10%) of the follicular cells of SGT were less than those(CK19 and Ret:100%) of PTC. CK19 immunoreactivity of the MGCs was seen in only one case of PTC. There was no significant difference between CK19 and Ret immunocytochemical staining for the MGCs of both SGT and PTC. The results of this study demonstrate that the cytological diagnosis of SGT can be improved by employing a combination of the typical and constant diagnostic cytological features and immunocytochemical results.

Recurrent pneumothorax was associated with the menstrual cycle in two women 20 to 30 years age; this is referred to as catamenial pneumothorax. This form of pneumothorax occurs within 72 hours before or after the onset of menstruation. The pathophysiology underlying this condition is unknown. We report here on two cases of catamenial pneumothorax that were successfully treated by partial resection of the diaphragm.

Video-assisted pulmonary lobectomy was introduced in the early 1990's by several authors, and the frequency of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy for lung cancer has been slowly increasing because of its safety and oncologic acceptability in patients with early stage lung cancer. However, VATS is limited by 2D imaging, an unsteady camera platform, and limited maneuverability of its instruments. The da Vinci Surgical System was recently introduced to overcome these limitations. It has a 3D endoscopic system with high resolution and magnified binocular views and EndoWrist instruments. We report three cases of da Vinci robot system-assisted pulmonary lobectomy in patients with early stage lung cancer.
