OBJECTIVE To construct a closed-loop management model for externally dispensed intravenous prescriptions, and to provide reference for standardized management of externally dispensed intravenous prescriptions. METHODS Based on the Expert Consensus on Closed-loop Management of Externally Dispensed Intravenous Prescriptions in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region previously formulated by our hospital, risk points during the entire process were systematically identified through multidisciplinary team brainstorming and a fishbone diagram. A series of strategies were subsequently formulated and implemented, including qualifying designated external dispensing pharmacies and the drug catalogs, operating and maintaining the hospital information system and the Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Service (PIVAS) intelligent management platform, and strengthening differentiated training for staff in the whole workflow. A whole-process closed-loop management system was constructed with PIVAS as the co re hub and the daytime chemotherapy center as the safety terminal. RESULTS A total of 3 cooperating pharmacies and an initial drug list comprising 35 product specifications were selected. A closed‑loop management process encompassing hospital outpatient prescribing, patient drug purchase in designated pharmacies, PIVAS drug dispensing, and medication use in daytime chemotherapy center was successfully established. This system enabled the mandatory grouping and association of externally dispensed intravenous prescriptions with in-hospital diluents, full-process verification based on drug traceability codes, intelligent monitoring of infusion parameters, and whole-process data traceability. CONCLUSIONS The constructed model effectively resolves the coordination and safety oversight during the use of externally dispensed intravenous drugs from out-of-hospital circulation to in-hospital use, and has preliminarily enabled procedural standardization, whole-process information traceability, and proactive control of medication risks.

ObjectiveTo analyse the efficacy and mechanism of Guizhi Fulingwan in regulating sex hormone disorders in rats with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). MethodsThirty male SD rats were randomly divided into a sham group, a model group, a finasteride group (0.45 mg·kg-1·d-1), and low-dose and high-dose groups of Guizhi Fulingwan (0.135, 0.337 5 g∙kg-1∙d-1), with six in each group. The BPH model was prepared by subcutaneous injection of 3.5 mg∙kg-1∙d-1 testosterone propionate after debridement surgery in all groups except the sham group. The rats in the sham group and the model group were administered with an equal volume of saline by gavage, and the rest of the groups were administered with the corresponding medicinal solution by gavage for 35 days. Histopathology in rats was evaluated by prostate wet weight, volume, index, and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The serum sex hormone levels of testosterone (T), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and estradiol (E2) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The protein expression of the androgen receptor (AR) was detected by immunohistochemistry. The serum metabolism profiles of rats in the sham group, the model group, and the high-dose group of Guizhi Fulingwan were compared by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem Fourier transform mass spectrometry (UHPLCQ Exactive) to screen for metabolic markers and to obtain relevant metabolic pathways. ResultsCompared with those in the sham group, the wet weight, volume, index, serum sex hormone level, and AR protein expression of the prostate in the model group were all elevated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the histomorphology showed pathological changes. Compared with those in the model group, the wet weight, volume, index, serum sex hormone level, and AR protein expression of the prostate in the intervention groups showed a decreasing trend (P<0.05, P<0.01), and histopathology was improved. Serum metabolomics analysis obtained a total of 40 metabolic markers related to the intervention effect of Guizhi Fulingwan, such as dehydrosafynol, hyoscyamine, and lumichrome, which were involved in the pathways of autophagy, riboflavin metabolism, and retrograde endocannabinoid signaling. ConclusionGuizhi Fulingwan can effectively regulate sex hormone disorders in BPH rats, and its mechanism may be related to autophagy, riboflavin metabolism, and retrograde endocannabinoid signaling.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Tangbikang dry paste in the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) based on the glyoxalase-1 (GLO-1)/advanced glycation end products (AGE)/receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) pathway. MethodsA total of 56 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided, with eight assigned to the normal group. The remaining 48 rats were fed a high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) to induce a type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) model. Based on blood glucose levels, the rats were randomly assigned to the model group, Tanglin group (13.5 mg·kg-1), metformin group (135 mg·kg-1), and Tangbikang dry paste low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (3, 6, 12 g·kg-1). Successful modeling of DPN was confirmed by a decrease in mechanical pain threshold in the model group at week 4. Fasting blood glucose, body weight, and mechanical pain threshold were measured every 4 weeks. After 16 weeks of intervention, the pathological morphology of the sciatic nerve was observed using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The expression of RAGE, AGE, protein kinase C (PKC), and collagen (COL) in the sciatic nerve was assessed by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA expression of RAGE, PKC, Toll-like receptor (TLR), COL, and GLO-1 was detected using real-time quantitative PCR (Real-time PCR). Serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatinine (CREA), urea (UREA), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group showed significantly increased fasting blood glucose (P<0.01), decreased body weight and mechanical pain threshold (P<0.01), and elevated serum AST, ALT, CREA, UREA, IL-6, and TNF-α levels (P<0.01). The expression of RAGE, AGE, and PKC in the sciatic nerve was significantly increased (P<0.01), while COL expression was decreased (P<0.01). The mRNA expression of TLR, RAGE, and PKC was upregulated (P<0.01), whereas COL and GLO-1 mRNA levels were downregulated (P<0.01). Histological examination showed irregular nerve morphology, axonal alterations, and myelin degeneration. Compared with the model group, fasting blood glucose levels in the Tangbikang dry paste high-dose group at all time points and in the medium-dose group at weeks 4 and 16 were significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01). No significant changes in body weight were observed across all Tangbikang dose groups. The mechanical pain threshold was elevated at different time points after administration in all Tangbikang groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). Serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels were decreased in all dose groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). The expression of RAGE, AGE, and PKC in the sciatic nerve was reduced (P<0.01), while COL expression was increased (P<0.01). The mRNA expression of TLR, RAGE, and PKC was downregulated (P<0.01), whereas GLO-1 mRNA expression was upregulated (P<0.05, P<0.01). Additionally, COL mRNA expression was significantly increased in the low- and high-dose groups (P<0.01). Pathological changes in the sciatic nerve were milder in all Tangbikang groups compared to the model group. ConclusionTangbikang dry paste significantly improves DPN, and its mechanism may be associated with the regulation of the GLO-1/AGE/RAGE signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the surgical technique and initial outcomes of distal derotational femoral osteotomy (DDFO) combined with knee extension device reconstruction in adolescents with habitual patellar dislocation and severe lower limb torsional deformity.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 10 adolescent patients (12 knees) treated at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital and its Guizhou branch from June 2016 to June 2022. There were 6 males and 4 females with an average age of 12.0±1.5 years (range: 10.0-14.5 years) Surgical treatment included DDFO and knee extension device reconstruction (lateral retinacular release, medial retinacular plication, Roux-Goldthwait distal realignment, and MPFL reconstruction). Clinical outcomes were assessed using Lysholm scores, incidence of redislocation and complications, and imaging parameters (lateral patellofemoral angle, Insall-Salvati index, TT-TG distance, and femoral anteversion angle) preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively.Results:All 12 knees were successfully operated on, with an average surgery time of 2.0±0.5 h (range 1.0-2.5 h), intraoperative blood loss of 47.1±17.1 ml (range 20-80 ml), and follow-up time of 46.2±18.7 months (range 24-72 months). The Lysholm knee score improved from 58.25±8.80 preoperatively to 89.17±5.32 at final follow-up ( t=-9.096, P<0.001) with significant difference. The lateral patellofemoral angle improved from -64.92±4.68 preoperatively to 6.08±2.27 at final follow-up ( t=39.178, P<0.001) with significant difference. The femoral anteversion angle decreased from 34.08±3.06 preoperatively to 14.50±2.65 at final follow-up ( t=16.916, P<0.001) with significant difference. No patellar redislocation, skin necrosis, wound infection, or limited joint mobility occurred during follow-up. Conclusion:DDFO combined with knee extension device reconstruction is an effective and safe treatment for adolescent habitual patellar dislocation with severe torsional deformity, resulting in significant clinical and radiographic improvement with low complication rates.
