OBJECTIVE To construct a pharmaceutical care framework suitable for elderly individuals in nursing homes， so as to provide standardized content guidance for relevant practice. METHODS The initial items of pharmaceutical care content in n ursing homes were drafted through literature research and semi-structured interviews. Delphi method was used to conduct correspondence consultation among 38 experts from related fields in Xinjiang. The expert positive coefficient， authority coefficient， and Kendall’s W were calculated， and the analytic hierarchy process was employed to determine the weight of each item. After thorough discussion among the research team members， the pharmaceutical care framework suitable for elderly individuals provided by hospital pharmacists collaborating with nursing homes was finalized. RESULTS The questionnaire recovery rates for both rounds of expert correspondence consultation were 100%， with an authority coefficient ＞0.8 and Kendall’s W ranging between 0.153 and 0.185 （ P ＜0.001）. A total of 7 primary items and 31 secondary items were ultimately determined， with the consistency ratio of the item weights all being less than 0.1. Based on the integration of importance and feasibility， among the primary items， “assessment of pharmaceutical care needs” was assigned the highest weight. Among the secondary items， highly practical items such as “survey of pharmaceutical care needs”“guidance on usage and dosage”“methods for correctly reading drug package inserts”， and “self-management of common chronic diseases in the elderly” were assigned relatively high comprehensive weights. CONCLUSIONS The pharmaceutical care framework suitable for elderly individuals provided by hospital pharmacists collaborating with nursing homes， which was constructed based on the Delphi method， demonstrates good scientific validity and reliability， and can serve as a reference for pharmacists to provide pharmaceutical care in nursing homes.

Mitophagy,a special form of selective autophagy,plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis by regulating cellular lipid metabolism,inflammation,and oxidative stress.However,its regulatory mech-anism is complex and has not been fully elucidated.Notably,many drugs and herbal ingredients exhibit anti-atherosclerot-ic effects by modulating mitophagy in macrophages,vascular endothelial cells,and vascular smooth muscle cells,offering potential new avenues for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis.In this article,we review the role of mitophagy in regulating cellular functions and the progression of atherosclerosis,as well as summarize potential therapeutic drugs that may contribute to anti-atherosclerosis by modulating mitophagy.Our aim is to provide a new literature basis for further ex-ploration of the role of mitophagy in atherosclerosis.

Objective: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a diagnostic tool that provides precise and reproducible information about cardiac structure, function, and tissue characterization, aiding in the monitoring of chemotherapy response in patients with lightchain cardiac amyloidosis (AL-CA). This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of CMR in monitoring responses to chemotherapy in patients with AL-CA. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, we enrolled 111 patients with AL-CA (50.5% male; median age, 54 [interquartile range, 49–63] years). Patients underwent longitudinal monitoring using biomarkers and CMR imaging. At followup after chemotherapy, patients were categorized into superior and inferior response groups based on their hematological and cardiac laboratory responses to chemotherapy. Changes in CMR findings across therapies and differences between response groups were analyzed. Results: Following chemotherapy (before vs. after), there were significant increases in myocardial T2 (43.6 ± 3.5 ms vs. 44.6 ± 4.1 ms; P = 0.008), recovery in right ventricular (RV) longitudinal strain (median of -9.6% vs. -11.7%; P = 0.031), and decrease in RV extracellular volume fraction (ECV) (median of 53.9% vs. 51.6%; P = 0.048). These changes were more pronounced in the superior-response group. Patients with superior cardiac laboratory response showed significantly greater reductions in RV ECV (-2.9% [interquartile range, -8.7%–1.1%] vs. 1.7% [-5.5%–7.1%]; P = 0.017) and left ventricular ECV (-2.0% [-6.0%–1.3%] vs. 2.0% [-3.0%–5.0%]; P = 0.01) compared with those with inferior response. Conclusion Cardiac amyloid deposition can regress following chemotherapy in patients with AL-CA, particularly showing more prominent regression, possibly earlier, in the RV. CMR emerges as an effective tool for monitoring associated tissue characteristics and ventricular functional recovery in patients with AL-CA undergoing chemotherapy, thereby supporting its utility in treatment response assessment.

OBJECTIVE To study the pharmacological substance basis of Shaoyao gancao decoction for relieving acute and chronic pain. METHODS The antispasmodic effect of Shaoyao gancao decoction， ethyl acetate extract of Shaoyao gancao decoction and its effluent part of macroporous resin and 90% ethanol elution part of macroporous resin （the concentration of 4 drugs was 13.44 g/mL according to crude drug） was observed by in vitro small intestine tension test in rats. The acetic acid writhing test was conducted in mice to evaluate the analgesic effects of macroporous resin efflux site and macroporous resin 90% ethanol elution site （the dosage of 2.4 g/kg according to crude drug）. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL- 1β）， prostaglandin E2 （PGE2） and cyclooxygenase-2 （COX-2） in serum of mice were detected. The serum prototype and metabolites of mice after intragastric administration of macroporous resin 90% ethanol elution site were identified by high performance liquid chromatogre-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. RESULTS In vitro experiment showed that 90% ethanol eluting part of macroporous resin represented the best antispasmodic effect， and the inhibitory rate of small intestine tension was significantly higher than macroporous resin efflux site of Shaoyao gancao decoction （P＜0.05） without statistical significance， compared with Shaoyao gancao decoction （P＞0.05）. In the acetic acid writhing experiment， compared with model group， the writhing times of mice in the macroporous resin 90% ethanol elution part group were reduced significantly （P＜0.05）， the writhing latency was prolonged significantly （P＜0.05）， and the levels of COX-2， IL-1β， PGE2 and TNF-α in serum were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Ten kinds of protoproducts including paeoniflorin and glycyrrhizic acid were identified from serum of mice， and twenty-two kinds of metabolites including hydroxylated glycyrrhizin and glucosylated liquiritin were identified. CONCLUSIONS The effective part of Shaoyao gancao decoction for relieving acute and chronic pain is 90% ethanol elution part prepared by macroporous resin from the ethyl acetate extract. Ten components， including glycyrrhetinic acid and paeoniflorin， may be the basis of its pharmacological substances.

Objective To investigate the international occupational classification of rehabilitation-therapy professionals,and analyze the core competencies,to improve the occupational system of rehabilitation-therapy professionals in China. Methods According to Standard Country or Area Codes for Statistical Use that prepared by the Statistics Division of the United Nations and Human Development Index of each country or area,the occupational classification of rehabil-itation-therapy professionals in the International Labour Organization(ILO)and 17 typical countries or areas was compared,and rehabilitation competency framework(RCF)was used to analyze the core competencies. Results The occupational classification or similar documents of ILO and 15 countries or areas were obtained.Except China categorizing rehabilitation-therapy professionals as technicians,all the documents set detailed occupations of rehabilitation-therapy professionals such as physical therapist and speech therapist as formal full-time occupa-tion;and ILO and 14 countries or areas defined these detailed occupations as professional occupation.The core competencies of technicians only involved a very small number of competencies and activities in RCF,while the core competencies of detailed occupations of rehabilitation-therapy professionals covered the vast majority of competencies and activities in RCF.There were differences in RCF competencies and activities involved in the core competencies of detailed occupations of rehabilitation-therapy professionals. Conclusion The core competencies are different between rehabilitation-therapy professionals and technicians,and among different detailed occupations of rehabilitation-therapy professionals.It is important for China to establish the detailed occupations of rehabilitation-therapy professionals as formal full-time occupation.The education re-lated to therapy and rehabilitation in China is gradually aligning with international standards,legislation on occu-pational qualification admission for rehabilitation-therapy professionals should be carried out,and make the reha-bilitation-therapy professionals to be professional occupation.

Objective:To explore the influence of deviation of the bolt in femoral neck system (FNS) on the short-term outcomes in young and middle-aged patients with displaced femoral neck fracture.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 114 young and middle-aged patients with displaced femoral neck fracture who had been treated with FNS at Department of Orthopaedics, Suzhou Municipal Hospital from December 2019 to January 2023. Based on the postoperative measurements of the deviation of the bolt tip to the central axis of the femoral head and neck (W), the patients were divided into a central group (W≤20%) and a deviation group (W>20%). In the central group of 63 cases, there were 27 males and 36 females with a mean age of (46.4±8.0) years. In the deviation group of 51 cases, there were 20 males and 31 females with a mean age of (45.1±9.8) years. The 2 groups were compared in terms of weight-bearing time, fracture healing time, tip-apex distance, degree of femoral neck shortening, Harris Hip Score and EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire-5L (EQ-5D-5L) utility value at the last follow-up, as well as complications and revision surgeries.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative general information, auxiliary reduction or quality of fracture reduction between the 2 groups, showing comparability between groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the partial weight-bearing time between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). In the central group, the full weight-bearing time [15.0 (14.0, 16.0) weeks] and fracture healing time [14.0 (12.0, 15.0) weeks] were significantly shorter than those in the deviation group [16.0 (15.0, 19.0) weeks; 15.0 (13.0, 17.0) weeks], the tip-apex distance [(21.4±3.4) mm] was significantly shorter than that in the deviation group [(23.5±2.7) mm], the Harris Hip Score [(90.6±6.1) points] and EQ-5D-5L utility value [0.9 (0.8, 0.9)] at the last follow-up were significantly higher than those in the deviation group [(87.7±6.2) points; 0.9 (0.8, 0.9)], and the incidences of moderate and severe femoral neck shortening [25.4% (16/63)], avascular necrosis of the femoral head [0 (0/63)] and revision surgery [0 (0/63)] were significantly lower than those in the deviation group [66.7% (34/51), 7.8% (4/51), 9.8% (5/51)] (all P< 0.05). Conclusion:A closer positioning of the FNS bolt to the central axis of the femoral head and neck favors satisfactory short-term outcomes and a lower revision surgery rate in young and middle-aged patients with displaced femoral neck fracture.

  Objective  Myocardial fibrosis is a potential mechanism of light-chain myocardial amyloidosis(AL-CA). This research aimed at exploring the correlation between multiparameter cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and myocardial fibrosis by relating the CMR myocardial tissue characteristics, the morphological and the functional parameters with gallium-68-labeledfibroblast activation protein inhibitor 04 positron emission tomography (⁶⁸Ga-FAPI PET).  Methods  We gave the patients diagnosed with AL-CA in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from August to December 2021 the examinations of CMR and ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI PET/CT. We recorded and analyzed the information on clinical manifestations and examinations of the patients.  Results  A total of 23 patients with AL-CA were included, 15 (65.2%)of which were male and the mean age was 58.3±6.5 years. Patients with high ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI-04 uptake had shown growth in myocardial extracellular volume (ECV), significantly higher than those in the negative group (P=0.047). In addition, patients' myocardial ECV was positively correlated with myocardial FAPI uptake (r=0.628, P=0.001;r=0.727, P < 0.001;r=0.661, P=0.001). Patients in the positive group showd reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF)(P < 0.001).LVEF (r=-0.798, P < 0.001;r=-0.794, P < 0.001; r=-0.795, P < 0.001) and right ventricular (RV)EF (r=-0.735, P < 0.001;r=-0.739, P < 0.001;r=- 0.684, P < 0.001) showd negatively correlated with myocardial FAPI uptake, LV circumferential strain (r=0.668, P < 0.001;r=0.708, P < 0.001;r=0.705, P < 0.001), LV longitudinal strain (r=0.629, P=0.001;r=0.635, P=0.001; r=0.597, P=0.003), and RV longitudinal strain (r=0.575, P=0.004; r=0.792, P < 0.001;r=0.673, P < 0.001) were negatively correlated with myocardial FAPI uptake.  Conclusions  FAPI-related fibroblast activation is concurrent with CMR-related abnormal myocardial interstitial characteristics that leads to the decreased function of the myocardial movement. Patients with increased FAPI uptake present with increased ECV, decreased EF, and decreased strain with morphological abnormalities.
