OBJECTIVE To clarify the current development status of clinical pharmacist training bases and the pharmacist workforce in China， and to provide evidence for standardizing base construction and promoting the high-quality development of hospital pharmacy. METHODS Questionnaires were distributed to all clinical pharmacist training bases for urgently-needed health professionals and clinical pharmacist training bases under the Chinese Hospital Association that had been approved by the end of 2023 to collect data including base profiles and pharmacist staffing conditions. Expert teams carried out field investigations to verify the collected data. Descriptive statistical analyses were conducted on the quantity， type and regional distribution of training bases， and the influencing factors of pharmacist staffing in the bases were analyzed. RESULTS Field surveys were completed covering 297 training bases across 31 provincial-level administrative regions. Among the base hospitals， 87.88% were Grade A tertiary general hospitals， and 65.32% were located in provincial capitals. The eastern region had the largest number of bases （136， accounting for 45.79%）， followed by the western region （79， 26.60%）. Great disparities existed among provinces in terms of base quantity and hospital scale. The median proportion of pharmaceutical technical personnel in base hospitals was 4.05%， and the median number of clinical pharmacists per 100 hospital beds was 0.53. Both indicators reached the highest in the eastern region （0.57， 4.43%） and the lowest in the northeastern region （0.45， 3.01%）. A total of 3 627 full-time clinical pharmacists were employed in all surveyed bases， among whom 83.68% held clinical pharmacist training certificates， 35.43% possessed senior professional titles， and 78.19% had postgraduate or higher educational background. The total annual training capacity of the surveyed bases was 4 291 trainees， with obvious differences in annual training capacity across regions and provinces. Training specialties covered 19 specialized disciplines plus one general discipline， and no province could deliver training for all 20 specialties simultaneously. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that geographic region exerte d a significant impact on the proportion of pharmaceutical technical personnel （≥4%） （ P ＜0.05）， while the approval time of training bases and hospital scale had significant effects on the number of clinical pharmacists per 100 beds （≥0.6） （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS China’s clinical pharmacist training system has basically matured and taken initial shape. The distribution of clinical pharmacist training resources is generally consistent with regional population and economic development levels. However， the allocation of pharmaceutical staff and clinical pharmacists has not yet met national standards and clinical service demands.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of quality management in clinical pharmacist training bases in China， and to provide references for the standardized development and improvement of these bases. METHODS A combined approach of questionnaire survey and on-site investigation was adopted， targeting the healthcare highly sought-after talent （clinical pharmacist） training bases in 31 provinces of China as well as the clinical pharmacist training bases affiliated with the Chinese Hospital Association. A training quality management evaluation index system consisting of 25 tertiary indicators was established. Investigations were conducted from two dimensions： structural quality of training and quality management of training processes. Data were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. RESULTS On-site investigations were completed for 297 clinical pharmacist training bases across the 31 provinces， among which 284 were affiliated with the Chinese Hospital Association and 271 were healthcare highly sought-after talent （clinical pharmacist） training bases. In terms of structural quality， the core indicator compliance rate for hospital-level training systems exceeded 80%， the rate of special fund utilization for designated purposes reached 80.13%， and the overall compliance rate for software and hardware facilities surpassed 88%. A total of 1 348 preceptors were employed across the training bases， among whom those with senior professional titles and full-time specialist clinical pharmacists as lead preceptors accounted for 62.91% and 94.36%， respectively. Regarding process quality， the compliance rate for “establishment of clinical practice teaching groups in accordance with regulations during clinical department rotations” was 85.19%， and 79.80% and 76.09% of the bases were found to implement strict confidentiality in theoretical examinations and meet the required scale of assessment cases， respectively. However， formal documents of corresponding training management regulations were formulated in only 57.91% of the bases， and the completeness and standardization rate of training manual completion was merely 47.47%. In addition， considerable disparities in quality management levels were observed among provinces， with issues in training process quality being particularly prominent. CONCLUSIONS The management system， hardware facilities， and preceptor staffing of clinical pharmacist training bases in China are relatively well-established， yet notable variations in quality management exist among training bases across different provinces.

Methods: Fifty patients who underwent UBE-TLIF and 50 patients who underwent W-TLIF, each with >2 years of follow-up, were retrospectively analyzed. Outcomes included operative parameters, time to postoperative mobilization, paravertebral muscle atrophy and fat infiltration rates, clinical scores (Visual Analog Scale [VAS], Oswestry Disability Index [ODI], Japanese Orthopaedic Association [JOA]), modified Macnab criteria, fusion rates, and complications. Results: Compared with W-TLIF, the UBE-TLIF group had significantly less intraoperative blood loss, shorter operative times, and lower postoperative drainage volumes (p <0.05). The UBE-TLIF group showed faster postoperative recovery and shorter hospital stays. At 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years, W-TLIF patients had higher multifidus and erector spinae atrophy, and greater paravertebral muscle fat infiltration (p <0.05). The UBE-TLIF group also had lower VAS and ODI scores at 1 year and 2 years (p <0.05) and fewer surgical complications (6% vs. 10%). Fusion rates (94% vs. 92%) and modified Macnab outcomes (88% vs. 86%) were comparable (p >0.05). Conclusions UBE-TLIF is associated with reduced intraoperative trauma, quicker recovery, and fewer complications. In the long-term, it better preserves paravertebral muscle integrity and provides superior pain and functional outcomes.

Background/Aims: Liver transplantation (LT) following total hepatectomy is a life-saving treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The HCC recurrence after LT hinders the effectiveness of the procedure. The objective of this study is to develop a pre-operative risk stratification model based on a liquid biopsy. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive multi-omics study of 260 HCC patients from three centers, including clinical data, low-coverage whole-genome sequencing of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from plasma, as well as whole-exome, single-nucleus RNA, and spatial transcriptomics from matched tumor and non-tumor tissues. Results: We identified cfDNA-derived copy number alteration (CNA) signatures associated with post-transplant recurrence. By integrating cfDNA-derived CNA profiles with single-cell transcriptomic data, we traced recurrence-associated cfDNA to a distinct subpopulation of malignant cells within the primary tumor. These cells were embedded in a pro-metastatic microenvironment of specialized endothelial subtypes and cancer-associated fibroblasts. Notably, most recurrence-associated lesions were detectable in cfDNA prior to liver transplantation (LT). Building on these insights, we developed the ZJU Criteria based on CNA fragments and tumor markers, a pre-LT risk prediction tool that integrates conventional clinical factors with cfDNA-derived CNA signatures, and validated it using internal and independent external cohorts. Conclusion Our findings suggest that post-transplant recurrence commonly originates from advanced subclones that emerge late during tumor evolution. The ZJU Criteria provides an accurate, non-invasive strategy that significantly improves pre-LT risk stratification and clinical decision-making for patients with HCC.

Objective:To design a special device for limiting position of boat-shape headrest of breast brackets,and explore its application value in radiotherapy post-radical mastectomy.Methods:1 cm plex glass plate was cut as T-shape base plate,and the top of the T-shape base plate was drilled to obtain four holes for limiting position.A 2 mm acrylic plate was cut as horse hoof-shape and strip-shape pieces for limiting position,which were adhered respectively to the top and bottom of the T-shape base plate to form a boat-shape headrest with groove structure for limiting position.Self-made pillars with limiting position were used to connect the T-shape base plate with the backplane of breast bracket,so as to realize rigid connection between conventional boat-shape headrest and breast bracket.A total of 60 female patients who received radiotherapy after radical mastectomy for breast cancer at Changzhou Cancer Hospital during January and December 2023 were selected.They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group(with 30 cases in each group)by using a random number table.The observation group adopted breast bracket combined with self-made boat-shape headrest for limiting position device+boat-shape headrest to conduct fixation,while the control group adopted rotundity headrest of breast bracket to conduct fixation.Both groups adopted hybrid intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT)technique to formulate plan,and the exposure dose was 50Gy/25 fractions,and patients received radiotherapy as 5 times per week,and the treatment course was 5 weeks.Cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT)was used to conduct verification for position before the first 3 treatments.During the treatment duration between the 2nd and the 5th week,CBCT verification for position was conducted in each week.The positioning error and positioning time on left-right direction(x),head-foot direction(y)and abdomen-back direction(z)at each time between two groups were compared.Results:The positioning errors on x,y,z direction of three dimension at each time in observation group were lower than those in control group,and the differences were significant(Z=-7.666,-11,672,-6.311,P<0.05).The average positioning time at first time and the total average positioning time were respectively(222.4±12.9)s and(212.2±15.1)s in observation group,all of which were lower than(262.9±12.5)s and(254.0±15.7)s in control group,and the differences were significant(t=12.364,27.783,P<0.05).Conclusion:The combination of breast bracket and self-made device with boat-shape for limiting position can increase precision and efficiency of positioning,and improve comfort through individually chooses the type of boat-shape headrest,and set the position of headrest,which has favorable clinically application value.

Objective:To analyze the immunization status of routine vaccines for children aged 0-7 years old with special health status in Tianhe District, Guangzhou City, from 2023 to 2024.Methods:From April 2023 to March 2024, 42 vaccination units in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, were organized to collect data on diseases and vaccination history of children with special health status. Vaccination rates were calculated, and multivariate logistic regression models were used to explore the impact of special health status on vaccination rates.Results:A total of 1 976 children aged 0-7 years old with special health status were included, with an average of (1.26±0.58) diseases per participant. The average number of vaccine doses administered for routine immunizations was (14.29±4.27), and the full vaccination coverage was 72.76%. The vaccination rate of 10 doses in the immunization program vaccine was less than 90.00%. The timely rate of the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine (HepB1) was 74.14%, and that of the first dose of measles vaccine (MCV1) was 63.93%. Compared with children with infectious diseases, those with neonatal diseases were more likely to miss the third dose of poliomyelitis vaccine (PV3), MCV1 and the second dose of Group A meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine (MPSV-A2). Those with neuromuscular system diseases were more likely to miss PV3, MPSV-A2 and the first dose of Japanese encephalitis vaccine, live (JE-L1). Those with congenital heart disease were more likely to miss PV3, the third dose of diphtheria tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine (DTaP3), MCV1, MPSV-A2, and JE-L1. Those with hematological disorders were more likely to miss PV3, MCV1, MPSV-A2, and JE-L1. Those with genetic diseases were more likely to miss MPSV-A2. Those with comorbidities were more likely to miss MCV1 and MPSV-A2. Those with neonatal diseases, neuromuscular system diseases, congenital heart disease, hematopoietic system diseases, genetic diseases, or comorbidities had difficulties in completing the full vaccination process.Conclusion:Children with special health conditions have lower rates of routine immunization and timely vaccination. More measures are needed to improve vaccination rates.

Objective To explore the behavioral characteristics of using cognitive reappraisal(CR)and expressive suppression(ES)in high trait anxiety individuals under both explicit and implicit conditions.Methods A total of 57 non-psychology undergraduates and postgraduates were recruited in a military medical university from June to July in 2023.All the participants were surveyed with Trait Form of Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI-T)and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(ERQ)to investigate their level of anxiety and usage habits of CR and ES strategies.According to the STAI-T results,they were divided to a high trait anxiety(HTA)group(n=28)and a low trait anxiety(LTA)group(n=29).Then the implicit and explicit emotion regulation(ER)tasks were used to analyze and compare 2 strategies on improving negative emotional pleasure and arousal,and the differences in difficulty and success of using CR and ES under the explicit condition.Results ① Both the HTA and LTA individuals showed a higher use of CR and less use of ES[t(27)=3.94,P<0.001;t(28)=11.33,P<0.001],while the HTA individuals used more ES[t(55)=3.02,P<0.01]and less CR than the LTA individuals[t(55)=-2.20,P=0.02].②Compared with implicit neutral priming,both implicit CR(Pleasure:2.56±0.11 vs 2.73±0.12,P<0.01;Arousal:6.68±0.18 vs 6.51±0.20,P<0.05)and implicit ES priming(Pleasure:2.56±0.11 vs 2.86±0.11,P<0.001;Arousal:6.68±0.18 vs 6.30±0.20,P<0.001)improved the negative emotional experiences of both HTA and LTA groups,and ES showed better effect(Pleasure:P<0.001;Arousal:P<0.001).③ Explicit CR(Pleasure:2.92±0.12 vs 5.09±0.09,P<0.001;Arousal:6.43±0.20 vs 4.33±0.21,P<0.001)and explicit ES(Pleasure:2.92±0.12 vs 4.34±0.09,P<0.001;Arousal:6.43±0.20 vs 4.22±0.22,P<0.001)ameliorated the negative feelings in the HTA and LTA individuals,and the effect of explicit CR on improving pleasure was superior than that of explicit ES(P<0.001).For the HTA individuals,it is more difficult to implement CR and ES[CR:t(55)=2.16,P=0.02;ES:t(55)=2.92,P<0.01],and ES was less successful in emotion regulation when compared with the LTA individuals[t(55)=-1.88,P=0.03];the difficulty of using ES was significantly higher than that of CR[4.00±1.81 vs 5.00±1.80,t(27)=-2.78,P<0.01],and the success rate was also lower[7.04±1.00 vs 6.64±1.13,t(27)=2.09,P=0.02].④ Comparing the effects of emotion regulation under implicit and explicit conditions,it was presented that explicit CR and ES were better than implicit CR and ES for both HTA and LTA individuals(Pleasure:explicit CR vs implicit CR:5.09±0.09 vs 2.73±0.12,P<0.001;explicit ES vs implicit ES:4.34±0.09 vs 2.86±0.11,P<0.001;Arousal:explicit CR vs implicit CR:4.33±0.21 vs 6.51±0.20,P<0.001;explicit ES vs implicit ES:4.22±0.22 vs 6.30±0.20,P<0.001).Conclusion In terms of usage habits of ER strategies,HTA individuals tend to use ES more and CR less than LTA individuals.Under the implicit/explicit conditions,HTA individuals can both employ CR and ES to improve negative emotional experience,and the effect of explicit ER is significantly better than implicit condition.

As a new generation of time-of-flight mass spectrometry,multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MR-TOF-MS)has been increasingly applied in the fields such as nuclear physics,chemistry,and biology due to its ultra-high resolution and rapid analysis capabilities.However,the analytical performance of MR-TOF-MS largely depends on the ion bunch state entering the mass analyzer.In this study,a rectangular ion trap(RIT)was developed,designed and processed using printed circuit board technology,as an ion accumulating and focusing device for MR-TOF mass analyzer.Compared to traditional ion traps composed of two sets of planar electrodes,this RIT had higher voltage utilization efficiency,resulting in more efficient ion collection and focusing.The ions were cooled to a sufficiently small bunch for precise mass measurement with MR-TOF-MS mass spectrometry in only 1 ms of cooling time in the RIT,then orthogonally ejected to the MR-TOF mass spectrometer for mass analysis.Experimental results indicated that the working cycle,ion flux,and ion focusing state of the RIT fully met the requirements of the MR-TOF mass analyzer.When coupled with the MR-TOF mass analyzer,the RIT enabled MR-TOF-MS to achieve a mass resolution of 1.5×105.
