OBJECTIVE To establish a pharmaceutical management system for externally dispensed medicines in medical institutions， so as to improve medication safety and regulatory efficiency. METHODS Based on policy analysis and hospital practice， a pharmaceutical management system for externally dispensed medicines was constructed by integrating institutional frameworks， an information‑based platform and management procedures， and the management effectiveness was evaluated. RESULTS Our hospital formulated the Regulations on the Management of Externally Dispensed Medicines ， which standardized catalogue selection， prescription issuance， acceptance and use， supervision and evaluation. An information‑based management platform for externally dispensed medicines was built relying on the hospital information system， enabling electronic prescription circulation， intelligent prescription review and whole‑process traceability. Institutional requirements and platform functions were embedded into three core management procedures， namely catalogue selection， prescription issuance， and medicine acceptance and use， forming a closed‑loop working mechanism. After the implementation of the management system， compared with pre‑implementation， the qualified rate of externally dispensed prescriptions increased from 85.2% to 99.3% （ P ＜0.001）， the automatic prescription review pass rate exceeded 95%， the prescription review duration shortened from 7.2 min to 1.8 min （ P ＜0.001）. All dimensional satisfaction scores of patients and medical staff were significantly improved， the standardization awareness of medical staff reached 100%. CONCLUSIONS The construction of a pharmaceutical management system for externally dispensed medicines with standardized institutional frameworks， informatized platforms and standardized procedures effectively enhances the rationality and management efficiency of externally dispensed prescription medicines， and provides a replicable practical pathway for the management of externally dispensed medicines in medical institutions.

Objective To obtain the data of radiological diagnosis and treatment resource distribution at medical institutions of different levels and in various cities, understand the status of resource allocation, provide policy-making basis and suggestions for optimizing the allocation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources within the province, and offer data and references for related research. Methods A basic situation questionnaire survey was conducted on radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions in Hunan Province. Data were reviewed, analyzed, and statistically processed using Excel software to understand the allocation situation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources in Hunan Province. Results As of 2022, there were 3031 radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions, 19770 radiation workers, and 6617 pieces of radiological diagnostic and treatment equipment. There were 80 radiation treatment institutions, 49 nuclear medicine institutions, 178 interventional radiology institutions, and 3028 X-ray imaging diagnosis institutions. There were 1077 radiation workers in radiation treatment, 461 radiation workers in nuclear medicine, 3369 radiation workers in interventional radiology, and 14,863 radiation workers in X-ray imaging diagnosis. There were 135 pieces of radiation treatment equipment, 56 pieces of nuclear medicine equipment, 262 pieces of interventional radiology equipment, and 6164 pieces of X-ray imaging diagnosis equipment. Conclusion Primary and lower grade medical institutions in Hunan Province account for a relatively high proportion of the total number of medical institutions, whereas radiological diagnostic and treatment resources are predominantly concentrated in tertiary medical institutions, demonstrating a unbalanced allocation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources in various cities. In terms of the overall allocation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources, interventional radiology is superior to the national average, nuclear medicine and X-ray imaging diagnosis are comparable to the national averages, and radiation treatment is lower than the national average. The total GDP is not the decisive factor in determining the development of local medical levels. It is suggested that relevant authorities should improve the rationality of the planning for the allocation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources, promote the allocation of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources to the grassroots and underdeveloped areas through various measures, and thus achieve the goal of balanced resource allocation.

Microwave thermochemotherapy (MTC) has been applied to treat lip squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), but a deeper understanding of its therapeutic mechanisms and molecular biology is needed. To address this, we used single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics (ST) to highlight the pivotal role of tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) among tumor-infiltrating immune cells and their therapeutic response to MTC. MNDA⁺ TANs with anti-tumor activity (N1-phenotype) are found to be abundantly infiltrated by MTC with benefit of increased blood perfusion, and these TANs are characterized by enhanced cytotoxicity, ameliorated hypoxia, and upregulated IL1B, activating T&NK cells and fibroblasts via IL1B-IL1R. In this highly anti-tumor immunogenic and hypoxia-reversed microenvironment under MTC, fibroblasts accumulated in the tumor front (TF) can recruit N1-TANs via CXCL2-CXCR2 and clear N2-TANs (pro-tumor phenotype) via CXCL12-CXCR4, which results in the aggregation of N1-TANs and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition. In addition, we construct an N1-TANs marker, MX2, which positively correlates with better prognosis in LSCC patients, and employ deep learning techniques to predict expression of MX2 from hematoxylin-eosin (H&E)-stained images so as to conveniently guide decision making in clinical practice. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that the N1-TANs/fibroblasts defense wall formed in response to MTC effectively combat LSCC.

Radiopharmaceuticals operate by combining radionuclides with carriers. The radiation energy emitted by radionuclides is utilized to selectively irradiate diseased tissues while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. In comparison to external beam radiation therapy, radionuclide drugs demonstrate research potential due to their biological targeting capabilities and reduced normal tissue toxicity. This article reviews the applications and research progress of radiopharmaceuticals in cancer treatment. Several key radionuclides are examined, including ²²³Ra, ⁹⁰Y, Lutetium-177 (¹⁷⁷Lu), ²¹²Pb, and Actinium-225 (²²⁵Ac). It also explores the current development trends of radiopharmaceuticals, encompassing the introduction of novel radionuclides, advancements in imaging technologies, integrated diagnosis and treatment approaches, and equipment-medication combinations. We review the progress in the development of new treatments, such as neutron capture therapy, proton therapy, and heavy ion therapy. Furthermore, we examine the challenges and breakthroughs associated with the clinical translation of radiopharmaceuticals and provide recommendations for the research and development of novel radionuclide drugs.

This article reviews the AI technical framework based on standardized data governance and centered on multimodal large medical models， covering the application of natural language processing， knowledge map， generative AI， and large language models in the establishment of databases for specialty diseases， diagnosis， prognosis prediction， treatment， and automated medical documentation. This article also discusses the application prospects of this framework in medical education， scientific research， and healthcare management. Although this technique shows broad application potential， it still faces challenges in areas such as multi-center data integration， model interpretability， ethics， and data security. In the future， a smart ecosystem with closed-loop optimization and human-AI collaboration should be established to promote the comprehensive implementation of digital biopsy in the whole process of medicine， education， research， and management， thereby providing help for the precise prevention and control and holistic health management of liver diseases.

The emerging paradigm of tumor microecology has reshaped our understanding of carcinogenesis. Colorectal cancer（CRC），a prevalent malignancy worldwide，is not only associated with gut microbial dysbiosis but is also linked to the oral microbiome. Notably， Fusobacterium nucleatum（Fn）can translocate from the oral cavity to the colon via cross-organ migration，colonize tumor tissues，and promote CRC initiation，progression，and therapeutic resistance. This review synthesizes evidence on the association between Fn and CRC，focusing on its promise as a biomarker for early detection，risk stratification，and disease monitoring，to provide novel insights for developing Fn-based strategies for the prevention，diagnosis，and management of CRC.

Objective:To investigate the relationships among coping styles,negative life events,meaning in life,and psychological resilience in adolescents.Methods:A total of 1 434 adolescents aged 13 to 17 years comple-ted online questionnaire survey.The Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire(SCSQ),Adolescent Self-Rating Life E-vents Checklist(ASLEC),Chinese Meaning in Life Questionnaire(C-MLQ),and Connor-Davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC)were used to assess coping styles,perceived impact of negative life events,experience and pursuit of meaning in life,and ability to cope with and adapt to adversity,respectively.Logistic regression was used to explore the associations among these variables.Results:A total of 723 students(50.4％)tended to adopt negative coping styles when facing adverse events.Positive coping styles were negatively associated with being in senior high school(OR=0.62,P＜0.05)and impact of life events(OR=0.97,P＜0.001),while positively associated with sense of meaning in life(OR=1.04,P＜0.001)and psychological resilience(OR=1.04,P＜0.001).Conclusion:Among adolescents,positive coping styles are inversely associated with impact of negative life events,and positively associ-ated with both the sense of life meaning and psychological resilience.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of using stent semi-retrieval technique during mechanical thrombectomy(MT)for acute anterior cerebral artery(ACA)occlusion.Methods We made a retrospective analysis of 38 patients with acute ACA occlusion treated by stent semi-retrieval technique at Tangdu Hospital and Xi'an No.1 Hospital from June 2019 to September 2023.The successful recanalization,first-pass effect(FPE),perioperative complications and postoperative recovery of all the patients were analyzed.Modified thrombolytic test in cerebral infarction(mTICI)was used to evaluate the recanalization(unsuccessful recanalization,mTICI 0-2a;successful recanalization,mTICI 2b-3).FPE was defined as mTICI 3 after one thrombectomy.The clinical outcome was evaluated by modified Rankin Scale(mRS)3 months postoperatively.A good prognosis was defined as a mRS 0-2.Results Of the 38 patients,36(94.7％)got successful recanalization(mTICI 2b-3),with an FPE of 73.7％(28/38).Two cases of mild vascular spasm(5.3％)occurred during the mechanical thrombectomy,which completely relieved without further treatment.None of the 38 patients experienced vascular rupture or dissection,and no thrombus escaped during the thrombus removal process.There was no subarachnoid hemorrhage or parenchymal hemorrhage in the area related to ACA occlusion.Ninety days after operation,14 cases(36.8％)reached good outcome(mRS 0-2),18 cases(47.4％)reached mRS 3-5,and 6 cases(15.8％)died.Conclusion Our preliminary experience suggests that the stent semi-retrieval technique may be a safe and effective method for treating acute anterior cerebral artery occlusion.

Objective:To explore changes in immune status in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN)after cer-vical conization and its relationship with prognosis of high-risk human papilloma virus(HR-HPV).Methods:A total of 227 patients with CINⅡ～Ⅲ admitted to Jinjiang Municipal Hospital(Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital Fujian Campus)from January 2019 to November 2022 were included to analyze HPV typing situation of different patients.Patients were divided into conversion group and persistent infection group according to postoperative conversion status.Different patients'postoperative immune indexes and regression were observed,and relationship between HPV types and immune indexes and postoperative regression was analyzed.Results:HPV types 16,33,52 and 58 were predominant in CINⅡ patients;HPV types 16 and 58 were predominant in CINⅢ patients.Differences between conversion and persistent infection groups were statistically significant regarding time to surgery,IL-10,TGF-β,TNF-α,CD4+T and CD4+T/CD8+T(P<0.05).After surgery,patients'CD8+T level decreased with time,CD4+T and CD4+T/CD8+T levels showed an increasing trend with time,and HPV types 16,33,52 and 58 were significantly correlated with immune indicators.Generalized linear mixed-effects models showed that CD8+T was a risk factor for patient regression,CD4+T and CD4+T/CD8+T were protective factors for patient regression.Generalized multifactor downscaling model interaction analysis showed that CD4+T,CD8+T,CD4+T/CD8+T and HPV typing were interactive on postoperative regression.Conclusion:Postoperative patients of cervical conization have decreased level of CD8+T and increased levels of CD4+T and CD4+T/CD8+T,CD8+T is risk factor for patient regression,while CD4+T and CD4+T/CD8+T are protective factors for patient regression.

Objective To investigate the weight loss efficacy and mechanisms of oligopeptide-herbal medicine composite,and to provide new approaches for obesity treatment.Methods Twenty-three SPF female SD rats were randomly divided into control group(n=3)and modeling group(n=20).The control group was fed an ordinary diet for 6 consecutive weeks,and the modeling group was fed a high-fat diet for 6 consecutive weeks to establish a simple obesity rat model.After successful modeling,the modeling group was randomly divided into model group(n=10)and treatment group(n=10).The treatment group started anoint-and-massage therapy with oligopeptide-herbal medicine composite(3 g per rat per time,once a day,20 min each time),which was recorded as day 1.The control group and model group were not treated with oligopeptide-herbal medicine composite but received the same massage,and continued to be fed ordinary feed and high-fat feed respectively.Ten rats in the model group and ten in the treatment group were each divided into 3 groups,with 3,3,and 4 rats in each group.On days 3,6,and 9 after treatment,the rats in the three groups were weighed and cardiac blood collection was performed after isoflurane respiratory anesthesia.After euthanasia by cardiac bloodletting,abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue(aSAT)and perirenal white adipose tissue(pWAT)samples were collected and weighed.Serum triglycerides(TG)and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)levels were measured.Image J software was used to measure aSAT thickness and the diameter and area of perirenal white adipocytes and abdominal subcutaneous adipocytes.Immunofluorescence technique was used to observe the number of telocytes(TCs),cell junctions and exosomes per unit area of aSAT.Transmission electron microscopy was used to measure the length of telopodes(Tps)of dermal and subcutaneous TCs in abdominal skin,and to observe the distribution of exosome vesicles,rough endoplasmic reticulum,mitochondria,and cell junctions.Results Compared with the control group,the body weight of rats in the modeling group increased significantly(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,rats in the model group showed a significant increase in serum TG level,a significant decrease in HDL-C level,and a significant increase in pWAT mass(all P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the treatment group showed a significantly increased rate of body weight reduction,significantly decreased pWAT mass,significantly decreased serum TG level,and significantly increased HDL-C level(all P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the treatment group showed significant reductions in aSAT thickness,as well as cell diameter and area in both aSAT and pWAT(all P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the treatment group showed significantly increased number of TCs per unit area of aSAT,number of exosomes from TCs in aSAT,and Tps length(all P＜0.05).The treatment group showed an increasing trend in the numbers of mitochondria,rough endoplasmic reticulum,and cell junctions in TCs.Conclusion Oligopeptide-herbal medicine composite applied via anoint-and-massage therapy effectively improves obesity-related symptoms such as dyslipidemia and fat accumulation in obese rats by regulating TCs and their intercellular communication.
