OBJECTIVE To establish a full-cycle management model for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients led by clinical pharmacists. METHODS Based on literature research, a basic framework and items of full-cycle management model led by clinical pharmacists were initially formulated. The Delphi method was adopted to conduct questionnaire inquiries among 26 experts to determine the specific implementation items of the model. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method was used to determine the weight values of items at all levels, and the reliability and validity of the model items were analyzed. RESULTS The recovery rates of the two rounds of expert consultation questionnaires were 86.67% and 100%, respectively, and the expert authority coefficient was 0.88. Kendall’s concordance coefficients of the tertiary-level items were 0.064 and 0.084, respectively, and the P values from the χ 2 tests were all less than 0.05; the consistent ratios of the judgment matrices for all levels of AHP model were all less than 0.1. The established full-cycle management led by clinical pharmacists comprised three primary-level items (pharmacy service pathway for T2DM patients during hospitalization, pharmacy management pathway for hypoglycemia in T2DM inpatients, and the pharmacy follow-up pathway for T2DM discharged patients, with weights of 0.098, 0.568 and 0.334, respectively), twelve secondary-level items (e.g. pharmaceutical care during hospitalization for 1 to 2 days, admission assessment and education, with weights ranging from 0.143 to 0.333) and thirty-seven tertiary-level items (e.g. assessment of medication compliance, verification of the medication plan for discharge, with weights ranging from 0.068 to 0.750). Cronbach’s α coefficients for primary-level items and the overall questionnaire were 0.762, 0.879, 0.928 and 0.951, respectively. The item-level and scale-level content validity indexes were 0.967 and 0.808, respectively. CONCLUSIONS A full-cycle management model for T2DM patients led by clinical pharmacists has been constructed successfully, demonstrating high scientificity and reliability.

Liver fibrosis is the core pathological stage of the progression of various chronic liver diseases to liver cirrhosis, and hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation and the abnormal accumulation of collagen fibers are important processes for the development and progression of liver fibrosis. In recent years, studies have shown that HSC activation is regulated by the complex interactions between various organelles (including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosome, and peroxisomes), and such interactions affect the key cellular processes such as energy metabolism, protein synthesis and folding, reactive oxygen species balance, and autophagy, thereby participating in the progression of liver fibrosis. Meanwhile, traditional Chinese medicine and its active ingredients with multi-target synergistic effects have attracted wide attention. From the perspective of the interaction between organelles, this article systematically elaborates on the specific mechanism of such interactions in the progression of liver fibrosis and reviews how traditional Chinese medicine inhibits HSC activation and collagen production by regulating the function of these organelle and their interaction networks, thereby exerting an anti-liver fibrosis effect, in order to provide a theoretical basis for in-depth understanding of the pathological mechanism of liver fibrosis and the development of new traditional Chinese medicine intervention strategies.

Objective:
To investigate the relationship between physical development indicators and the onset and progression of myopia among children and adolescents, so as to provide theoretical support for coordinated vision and physical health management.
Methods:
A prospective cohort study was conducted. In September 2022, 3 102 students from grade one in primary school to grade three in junior high school (five year primary school and four year junior high school) from six schools in Huantai County, Shandong Province, were selected using multistage cluster random sampling method to participate in an epidemiological survey on myopia, with follow up completed in September 2023. Follow up value minus baseline value( d ) was used to assess changes in physical development and vision indicators. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between physical development indicators and the incidence of myopia. Generalized linear models were established to analyze the relationship between physical development indicators and changes in d spherical equivalent (SE) and d axial length (AL) .
Results:
Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusting for factors such as gender, age, and baseline body mass index, the third ( Q 3)and fourth ( Q 4)quartiles of d height showed increased risks of myopia onset within one year compared to the first quartile( Q 1) ( OR =1.85,95% CI =1.18-2.88; OR =1.74,95% CI =1.09-2.78,both P <0.05). Results from the generalized linear model indicated that, after adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, age, and baseline SE, d SE was negatively correlated with d height and d weight in children and adolescents ( β =-0.024, 95% CI =-0.031 to -0.018; β =-0.006, 95% CI =-0.011 to -0.001), d AL was positively correlated with d height and d weight in children and adolescents ( β =0.011, 95% CI =0.008-0.013; β =0.005, 95% CI =0.003-0.007) (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
Physical development indicators in children and adolescents were associated with the onset and progression of myopia. Dynamic monitoring and early intervention of myopia should be strengthened for children and adolescents with rapid height and weight gain to achieve coordinated management of myopia and physical development.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a chronic metabolic liver disorder with complex etiologies. Different clinical phenotypes of MAFLD (such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, the postmenopausal state, and chronic hepatitis B) have different mechanisms of action in the development and progression of MAFLD, leading to high heterogeneity in its clinical progression and prognosis. This article systematically reviews the pathogeneses and clinical features of the above five clinical phenotypes of MAFLD and elaborates on the corresponding individualized diagnosis and treatment regimens integrating traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, in order to provide a reference for clinical practice and improve clinical diagnosis and treatment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Xueshisanjia San against liver fibrosis by regulating PTEN-induced putative kinase (PINK1)/Parkin signaling pathway-mediated mitophagy. MethodsForty specific pathogen free (SPF)-grade male C57BL/6 mice were randomized into the control, model, silibinin (100 mg·kg-1), high-dose (15.16 g·kg-1) Xueshisanjia San, and low-dose (7.58 g·kg-1) Xueshisanjia San groups. The mouse model of liver fibrosis was constructed by intraperitoneal injection of 20% carbon tetrachloride solution. The treatment lasted for 6 weeks. Blood was collected from the abdominal aorta after intraperitoneal anesthesia, and the liver was separated. Liver pathology was examined by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, Masson staining, and Sirius Red staining. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was employed to observe the mitochondrial morphology in the liver tissue. The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), C-reactive protein (CRP), total bilirubin (TBil), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the serum of mice were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence assay, and Western blot were employed to determine the protein levels of liver fibrosis markers α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and collagen Ⅰ, as well as mitophagy markers microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), p62, Beclin-1, PINK1, Parkin, and translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20 (TOM20). ResultsCompared with the control group, the model group exhibited elevated levels of ALT, AST, CRP, TBil, IL-6, TGF-β1, and TNF-α in the serum (P<0.05), pathological changes such destroyed structure of hepatic lobules, disarrangement of hepatic cells, and collagen accumulation, swollen, vacuolated, and fragment mitochondria, down-regulated expression of p62 and TOM20, and up-regulated expression of LC3, Beclin-1, PINK1, and Parkin (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, all the treatment groups exhibited declined levels of ALT, AST, CRP, TBil, IL-6, TGF-β1, and TNF-α in the serum (P<0.05), alleviated pathological damage of liver tissue and mitochondrial damage, up-regulated expression of p62 and TOM20, and down-regulated expression of α-SMA, COL1A1, LC3, Beclin1, PINK1, and Parkin (P<0.05)

Esophageal cancer cases in China account for more than 50% of the world, among which approximately 90% are histological subtypes of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Over 50% of esophageal cancer patients are initially diagnosed at locally advanced or advanced stages. The R0 resection rate with surgical treatment alone is relatively low, and local recurrence and distant metastasis are prone to occur, resulting in a low 5-year survival rate. Recent research has focused on neoadjuvant therapy for esophageal cancer, but the most effective form of such therapy remains undetermined. Immunotherapy is currently the most active research field in tumor treatment. Further exploration of the treatment model combing immunotherapy with neoadjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy is expected to improve the therapeutic effect and survival benefit in patients with locally advanced resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of menopausal time and menopausal age with the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and to provide a basis for the early prevention and treatment of NAFLD in clinical practice. MethodsRelated data were collected from 373 postmenopausal women who attended the outpatient service of Department of Spleen, Stomach, Liver and Gallbladder Diseases, The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine, from January 2017 to December 2021, including general information, menopausal age, menopausal time, and presence or absence of NAFLD. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data; the independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups, and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups. A Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the association intensity and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) of menopausal time and menopausal age for the risk of NAFLD, and the restricted cubic spline (RCS) method was used to investigate the dose-response relationship between menopausal time/age and the risk of NAFLD. ResultsCompared with the women with normal menopause or late menopause, the women with early menopause had a higher prevalence rate of NAFLD and a higher degree of steatosis and fibrosis (all P<0.05). After adjustment for the confounding factors such as age and age of menarche, the risk of NAFLD in women with a menopausal time of >3 years was 4.80 (95%CI: 1.93 — 11.95, P=0.001) times that in women with a menopausal time of ≤3 years, and the risk of NAFLD in women with early or late menopause was 8.14 times (95%CI: 1.77 — 37.58, P=0.007) and 0.09 times (95%CI: 0.03 — 0.32, P<0.001), respectively, that in those with a normal menopausal age. There is a dose-response relationship between menopausal time/age and the risk of NAFLD. Menopausal time is positively correlated with the association intensity of NAFLD, while menopausal age is negatively correlated with the association intensity of NAFLD. ConclusionThe longer the menopause time and the earlier the menopause age, the ligher the risk of NAFLD.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of loganin on inflammatory response and intestinal barrier damage in septic rats by regulating the Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA)/Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase 1 (ROCK1) signaling pathway. METHODS A sepsis rat model was established by cecal ligation and puncture, and randomly divided into sepsis group, loganin low-dose group (50 mg/kg loganin, gavage), loganin high-dose group (200 mg/kg loganin, gavage), positive control group (0.2 mg/kg atorvastatin, intraperitoneal injection), and loganin high-dose + lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) group (200 mg/kg loganin gavage and intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg/kg RohA activator LPA). An additional sham surgery group was established. Each group consisted of 10 rats, and medications were administered once every 6 hours for 4 times. After 24 hours of the last intervention, the levels of serum inflammatory factors interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-1β were detected. The pathological changes of ileal tissue were observed and Chiu’s intestinal mucosal injury score was also performed. The levels of intestinal function-lactate dehydrogenase (D-lactate), D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) and endotoxin, the percentages of zonula occludens-1 protein (ZO-1) and Occludin positive staining area, as well as protein expressions of RhoA, and ROCK1 were all detected. com RESULTS Compared with the sepsis group, the percentages of ZO-1 and Occludin positive areas increased significantly in loganin low-dose and high-dose groups; while the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, DAO, D-lactate and endotoxin, Chiu’s intestinal mucosal injury score as well as protein expressions of RhoA and ROCK1 decreased significantly (P<0.05); the destruction of rat ileal tissue was alleviated, and tissue edema and inflammatory infiltration were significantly reduced; moreover, the improvement effect in loganin high-dose group was superior to that in loganin low-dose group (P<0.05). Compared with loganin high-dose group, RhoA activator LPA reversed the trend of changes in the above indicators (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Loganin can alleviate inflammatory response and intestinal barrier damage in septic rats, the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting RhoA/ROCK1 signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the effect of glioma cell-derived apoptotic extracellular vesicles(apoEVs)on glioma tumorigen-esis and temozolomide(TMZ)resistance and its mechanism.Methods:The extracted apoEVs were characterized using nanoparticle tracking analysis and transmission electron microscopy,and Western blot,flow cytometry,CCK-8 assay,colony formation assay,and Transwell assay were used to investigate the effect of apoEVs on cell proliferation,migration,invasion,and apoptosis.Results:ApoEVs promoted TMZ resistance in glioma cells,significantly increased the half-maximal inhibitory concentration of TMZ(t=9.326,P=0.001),and inhibited cell apoptosis,and this effect could be reversed by the exosome inhibitor GW4869.ApoEVs also promoted the migration and invasion of glioma cells,increased the expression of vimentin and Twist proteins(t=8.762,P=0.002;t=7.941,P=0.004),and inhibited the expression of cleaved caspase-3(t=9.217,P=0.002).Further studies showed that apoEVs affected TMZ resistance of glioma cells by regulating the LncRNA-XIST/miR-29c/O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase(MGMT)axis.Silencing of LncRNA-XIST could reduce the expression of MGMT and increase the expression of miR-29c,thereby enhancing the sensitivity to TMZ and inhibiting cell migration and invasion.Conclusion:Glioma cell-derived apoEVs promote the malignant progression and temo-zolomide resistance of glioma by delivering LncRNA-XIST to regulate the miR-29c/MGMT axis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the status and dietary intake risk of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables sold in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province from 2020 to 2023, so as to provide a scientific basis for the regulation and management of pesticide in the future. MethodsIn accordance with the requirements and methods specified in the “National Food Contamination and Hazardous Factor Risk Monitoring Work Manual” and the current corresponding national food inspection standards for various foods, a total of 807 samples of vegetables and fruits from various counties and districts of Wenzhou City were collected for testing and analysis. Eventually, 23 types of pesticides with a detection rate greater than 5% and those exceeding the standard were selected for dietary intake risk assessment. ResultsFrom 2020 to 2023, the overall detection rate of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables monitored in Wenzhou was 71.62%, with an overall exceedance rate of 5.27%. From the results of the monitoring of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables, fresh legume vegetables had the highest detection rate of 90.00%. Among the six major categories of pesticides monitored, fungicides in vegetables and fruits had the highest detection rates of 68.18% and 85.03%, respectively. The highest exceedance rate in vegetables was organophosphorus pesticides, accounting for 2.85%, while in fruits, neonicotinoid pesticides had the highest exceedance rate of 3.21%. From the perspective of sampling time, the peak detection rate of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables in Wenzhou occurred in June and October. The index of food safety (IFS) of the 23 pesticides with a detection rate higher than 5% ranged from 0.000 7 to 0.694 2 based on the 95% monitoring value of pesticide residues, which were all less than 1. Calculated at maximum content, the IFS values of dithiocarbamate (calculated by CS2), chlorothalonil and propiconazole were all greater than 1, indicating that the maximum detection values of the three pesticides exceeded the acceptable safety risk. The risk level of acute dietary intake of the 23 pesticides ranged from 1.26% to 52.65%. ConclusionThe overall situation of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables sold in Wenzhou from 2020 to 2023 is favourable, but the exceedance rate of pesticide in some fruits and vegetables is high. Special attention should be paid to the pesticide residues of fungicides, neonicotinoid insecticides and organophosphorus pesticides in fresh legume vegetables, bulb vegetables and some fruits sold in Wenzhou, such as acetamiprid in bayberry and cowpea, dimethomorph in strawberry, chlorpyrifos in leek, etc., and monitoring of pesticide residues in food need to be strengthened.
