OBJECTIVE To investigate the current situation of the review and comment on inpatient medical orders in Beijing municipal hospitals， and to put forward countermeasures and suggestions for further improving related work. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the current situation of the review and comment on inpatient medical orders in 22 Beijing municipal hospitals. The statistical analysis was conducted for the survey results. RESULTS A total of 22 questionnaires were distributed， with recovery effective rate of 100%. The 22 hospitals carried out inpatient medical order comment， but their proportion varied among hospitals （0.88%-98.54%）； medical order comment mainly focused on antibiotics， proton pump inhibitors， anesthetic drugs/class Ⅰ psychotropic drugs， auxiliary drugs and other categories； 205 pharmacists participated in the comment of inpatient medical orders， most of whom hold intermediate or higher professional titles （89.27%）； 21 hospitals conducted inpatient medical order comment and feedback the results to relevant departments/responsible persons， but the intervention situation was not the same. Eighteen hospitals had carried out the review of inpatient medical orders； reviewed drug category was roughly the same as the category involved in the medical order comment； review content involved the suitability of administration routes， dosage， etc. The review was conducted mainly through the cooperation of audit software and pharmacists. CONCLUSIONS The comment and review of inpatient medical orders in Beijing municipal hospitals carried out in an orderly manner， and preliminary results have been achieved； at the same time， it is necessary to further increase the ability of participating pharmacists， improve audit standards， optimize pre-audit （No.ZYLX201805） software， and promote rational drug use among hospitalized patients through doctor-pharmacist collaboration.

Objective:To investigate whether ultra-high dose rate (FLASH) irradiation can reduce radiation-induced intestinal injuries of mice compared to conventional dose rate (CONV) irradiation.Methods:Both FLASH and CONV irradiation were delivered with electron beam, with dose rates of 750 Gy/s and 0.5G y/s, respectively. A total of 105 mice were randomly divided into groups using a simple randomization method. Twenty-one mice were selected for weight observation, 7 mice in each group. After 9 Gy FLASH and CONV irradiation on the abdomen, the weight changes of mice were measured every other day, and compared among three groups. Twenty-four mice were selected for pathological examination including 5 mice in the control group. Three-and-a-half-day days after 12 Gy FLASH ( n=10) and CONV irradiation ( n=9) on the abdomen, the intestines of the mice were taken. Pathological sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) to compare the number and percentage of regenerated crypts of the small intestine between two groups. After 12 Gy FLASH ( n=10) and CONV irradiation ( n=10) on the abdomen, the survival of 20 mice was observed. After FLASH using 4.5 Gy×2 times ( n=10) and CONV irradiation at 9 Gy×1 time ( n=10) on the abdomen, the weight changes were observed. After FLASH using 6 Gy×2 times ( n=10) and CONV irradiation at 12 Gy×1 time ( n=10) on the abdomen, the survival of mice was observed. The time interval between two irradiation was 1 min. EBT3 film was employed to monitor the actual exposure dose of the mice. The variables conforming to normal distribution were expressed by Mean±SD. Inter group comparison was performed by independent t-test. The survival of mice among different groups was compared by log-rank test. Results:After 9 Gy of abdominal irradiation, the mean weight of mice in the FLASH group was significantly higher than that in the CONV group. The weight of mice in the FLASH and CONV groups was (19.8±0.8) g and (18.0±1.8)g ( P=0.036) at 7 days after irradiation, (22.0±1.0)g and (21.2±0.5)g ( P=0.075) at 15 days after irradiation, and (24.2±1.4)g and (22.0±1.2)g ( P=0.012) at 25 days after irradiation, respectively. After 12 Gy irradiation, the mean survival of mice in FLASH and CONV groups was 4 days and 4.7 days ( P=0.029). After 12 Gy total abdominal irradiation, the mean number of intestinal regenerative crypts in the FLASH and CONV groups was 2.9/mm and 1.2/mm ( P=0.041), and the percentage of intestinal regenerative crypts was 34.1% and 14.1%, respectively. The survival of mice irradiated by FLASH using 6 Gy×2 times was longer compared with that of mice after CONV irradiation at 12 Gy×1 time. The weight of mice after 4.5 Gy×2 times irradiation was higher than that of mice after CONV irradiation at 9 Gy×1 time. Conclusion:Weight, survival and the number of intestinal regenerative crypts in the FLASH group are higher than those in the CONV group after irradiation, indicating that radiation-induced intestinal injury caused by FLASH irradiation is slighter than that of CONV irradiation.

Objective:A microsurgical simulation training device based on real clinical scenes was designed and its effectiveness was tested.Methods:From January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2023, postgraduate students in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department of the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital and the Plastic Surgery Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were enrolled in this prospective study. The simulation training device consists of four parts: (1)Blood perfusion system, which is used to simulate living animal blood vessels.(2)The inner baffling rod system, which is used to simulate the operation in deep cavity.(3) The exterior baffling rod system, which is used to simulate the operation in difficult positions.(4) A pulsating platform system is used to simulate microsurgery under the influence of respiratory movement. Preliminary verification of the effect of the simulated training device was as follows: Surgeons with no experience in microsurgery were completely randomized assigned to the control group (traditional microsurgery training group) and the experimental group (training group using the simulated training device). After 4 weeks of microsurgical training, the trainees were assigned to perform two surgical skill assessments, the first using a live animal model for end-to-end anastomosis of rat tail arteries, and the second assessment using end-to-end anastomosis of free latissimus dorsi flap arteries in a real case. The performance of the two groups was compared by using operation time and microsurgical GRS score scale including four items of dexterity, visuospatial ability, operative flow and judgment. Chi-squared test was used to analyze gender between the two groups. GRS scores between the two groups were compared by the Mann-Whitney U test. Participants’ ageand operation time between the two groups was compared by independent t-test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 18 trainees were enrolled, including 10 in the control group, 6 males and 4 females, with an average age of (27.80±1.87) years. There were 8 subjects in the experimental group, 4 males and 4 females, with an average age of (28.10±1.56) years old. There were no significant differences in age, gender and other baseline characteristics between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in GRS score and operation time between the control group and the experimental group ( P> 0.05) in the first assessment. However, in the second assessment of real cases, the GRS score of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group(14.25 vs. 5.70), and the operation duration of the experimental group was also shorter than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant[(100.37±24.65 ) min vs. (105.60±22.84) min] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with traditional microsurgery training methods, using microsurgery training devices based on clinical real scenes can effectively shorten the learning curve and enable trainees to master complex micromanipulation skills more quickly.

Fibroblast activation protein inhibitors(FAPI)can specifically bind to fibroblast activation protein,which is highly expressed in tumor stroma,and 68Ga-FAPI do not get involved into the procedure of glucose metabolism in tumor cells.68Ga-FAPI PET/CT and PET/MR can be used for displaying malignant tumors at various sites and play a unique role for diagnosis and differential diagnosis.The research progresses of 68 Ga-FAPI-based PET/CT and PET/MR for diagnosing malignant tumors were reviewed in this article.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To investigate the value of pre-therapy 18F-FDG PET/CT radiomic models in differentiating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletion from exon 21 L858R missense in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:A total of 172 patients with EGFR mutant NSCLC (54 males, 118 females, age: (56.2±12.5) years) in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University between January 2015 and November 2019 were retrospectively included. Exon 19 mutation was found in 75 patients and exon 21 mutation was identified in 97 patients. The patients were divided into training set ( n=121) and validation set ( n=51) in a 7∶3 ratio by using random number table. The LIFEx 4.00 package was used to extract texture features of PET/CT images of lesions. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm was used for feature screening. Three machine learning models, namely logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), and support vector machine (SVM) models, were constructed based on the selected optimal feature subsets. The ROC curve analysis was performed to assess the predictive performance of those models. Finally, decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical value of the models. Results:Nine radiomics features, including 6 PET features (histogram (HISTO)_Kurtosis, SHAPE_Sphericity, gray level run length matrix (GLRLM)_ low gray-level run emphasis (LGRE), GLRLM_ run length non-uniformity (RLNU), neighborhood grey level different matrix (NGLDM)_Contrast, gray level zone length matrix (GLZLM)_ short-zone low gray-level emphasis (SZLGE)), and 3 CT features (gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM)_Correlation, GLRLM_ run percentage (RP), NGLDM_Contrast), were screened by LASSO algorithm. Three machine learning models had similar predictive performance in the training and validation sets: AUCs for the RF model were 0.79, 0.77, and those for the SVM model were 0.76, 0.75, for the LR model were 0.77, 0.75. The DCA showed that the 3 machine learning models had good net benefits and clinical values in predicting EGFR mutation subtypes.Conclusion:18F-FDG PET/CT radiomics provide a non-invasive method for the identification of EGFR exon 19 deletion and exon 21 L858R missense mutations in patients with NSCLC, which may help the clinical decision-making and the formulation of individualized treatment plan.

Objective:To investigate predictive value of model based on pre-surgical 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters for mediastinal lymph node metastasis (LNM) in lung adenocarcinoma. Methods:A total of 288 patients with lung adenocarcinoma (135 males, 153 females, age (61.6±8.5) years) who diagnosed and treated in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2016 to February 2021 were enrolled retrospectively. All patients underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT examination within 1 month before operation, and underwent complete resection of primary lung tumor and standard lymph node dissection. PET/CT parameters were extracted (PET metabolic parameters: minimum SUV(SUV min), SUV max, SUV mean, SUV standard deviation (SUV std), metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG); CT parameters: minimum CT value (HU min), maximum CT value (HU max), mean CT value (HU mean), CT value standard deviation (HU std)). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used for screening parameters and establishing model to predict LNM. ROC curves analyses were used to evaluate the predictive performance of models. Results:Among 288 patients, 90 had LNM, and 361 metastatic lymph nodes (N1: 186, N2: 175) were reported by pathology. SUV min (odds ratio ( OR)=1.859, 95% CI: 1.074-3.220, P=0.027), SUV max ( OR=2.255, 95% CI: 1.306-3.893, P=0.004), SUV mean ( OR=0.277, 95% CI: 0.115-0.665, P=0.004) were predictors of LNM. The AUC of PET/CT model was 0.849 (95% CI: 0.804-0.893), and the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and positive and negative predictive values were 87.8%(79/90), 72.2%(143/198), 77.1%(222/288), 59.0%(79/134) and 92.9%(143/154), respectively. Conclusion:The model based on 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters can improve the accuracy of pre-surgical N-staging in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

OBJECTIVE: To explore whether the ethanol extract of Herpetospermum caudigerum Wall (EHC), a Xizang medicinal plant traditionally used for treating liver diseases, can improve imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining were used to determine the effects of topical EHC use in vivo on the skin pathology of imiquimod-induced psoriasis in mice. The protein levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-17A (IL-17A) in mouse skin samples were examined using immunohistochemical staining. In vitro, IFN-γ-induced HaCaT cells with or without EHC treatment were used to evaluate the expression of keratinocyte-derived intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and chemokine CXC ligand 9 (CXCL9) using Western blotting and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide and proteasome inhibitor MG132 were utilized to validate the EHC-mediated mechanism underlying degradation of ICAM-1 and CXCL9. RESULTS: EHC improved inflammation in the imiquimod-induced psoriasis mouse model and reduced the levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-17A in psoriatic lesions. Treatment with EHC also suppressed ICAM-1 and CXCL9 in epidermal keratinocytes. Further mechanistic studies revealed that EHC suppressed keratinocyte-derived ICAM-1 and CXCL9 by promoting ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated protein degradation rather than transcriptional repression. Seven primary compounds including ehletianol C, dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol, herpetrione, herpetin, herpetotriol, herpetetrone and herpetetrol were identified from the EHC using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight-mass spectrometry. CONCLUSION Topical application of EHC ameliorates psoriasis-like skin symptoms and improves the inflammation at the lesion sites.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between 18F-FDG PET/CT Lugano lymphoma response evaluation criteria and prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) at the end of chemotherapy. Methods:A total of 131 patients with DLBCL (63 males, 68 females, age (50.3±17.0) years) who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT at the end of chemotherapy in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from July 2013 to January 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. 18F-FDG PET/CT Lugano lymphoma response evaluation criteria was used to evaluate the response (complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), stable disease (SD) and progressive disease (PD)). Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were followed up. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used for univariate analysis of clinical parameters and imaging parameters, and Cox proportional hazards regression model was used for multivariate analysis to explore related factors affecting the prognosis of patients with DLBCL. Results:The median follow-up time was 35.47 months for 131 patients with DLBCL. The 5-year PFS rate was 57.3%(75/131), and the 5-year OS rate was 84.0%(110/131). There were 74 cases of CR, 37 cases of PR and 20 cases of PD. Univariate analysis showed that the Lugano lymphoma response evaluation criteria was the influencing factor of PFS and OS (PFS, χ2=72.25, P<0.001; OS, χ2=11.97, P=0.003). Deauville score (DS) of patients with DLBCL was also the influencing factor for PFS ( χ2=62.46, P<0.001) and OS ( χ2=19.95, P<0.001). Ann Arbor stage, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group physical state (ECOG PS) score and international prognostic index (IPI) were the influencing factors for PFS ( χ2 values: 10.31-15.80, all P<0.05). Ann Arbor stage, ECOG PS score, number of extranodal organ involved, β 2 microglobulin, and IPI were the influencing factors for OS ( χ2 values: 4.97-30.57, all P<0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that Lugano lymphoma response evaluation criteria, Ann Arbor stage and ECOG PS score were independent prognostic factors for PFS (relative risk ( RR) and 95% CI: 8.841(4.764-16.405), 1.434(1.111-1.852), 2.125(1.205-3.746), P values: <0.001, 0.006, 0.009) and OS ( RR(95% CI): 3.276(1.304-8.235), 9.728(2.216-42.669), 2.506(1.040-6.039), P values: 0.012, 0.003, 0.041). Conclusion:18F-FDG PET/CT Lugano lymphoma response evaluation criteria can precisely evaluate the prognosis of patients with DLBCL at the end of chemotherapy.
