OBJECTIVE To provide reference for improving the pre-prescription review system and reducing the occurrence of medication error by analyzing the drug-related problems (DRPs) in the pre-prescription review orders of pediatric outpatient clinics using the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (PCNE) classification system. METHODS The data of pre-prescription review orders were retrospectively collected from outpatient department of Shanghai Children’s Medical Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from July 2022 to June 2023; DRPs in the pre-prescription review orders were classified and summarized by using the PCNE classification system (version 9.1), and then analyzed in terms of types and causes of issues, and the acceptance of interventions. RESULTS A total of 66 017 DRPs orders were included, involving 41 165 patients. The proportion of DRPs orders in children aged ≤5 years old was the highest (58.25%), followed by children aged 6-12 years old (33.52%); the department with the highest proportion of DRPs was internal medicine of pediatrics department (71.41%); the department with the highest incidence of DRPs was thoracic surgery department (9.73%); top three drug categories of DRPs orders were systemic anti- infective drugs (25.26%), Chinese patent medicines (24.74%) and respiratory drugs (22.38%). Referring to PCNE classification system, the types of DRPs mainly focused on treatment safety (64.86%); the reasons of DRPs orders mainly focused on dose selection (82.09%), of which 41.26% were due to excessive drug dosage; 92.13% of interventions could be accepted and fully executed by doctors. CONCLUSIONS DRPs orders identified by the pre-prescription review system can be effectively analyzed by using PCNE classification system. Pharmacists should focus on medication use in children aged ≤5 years old, update and develop personalized prescription review rules timely, and meet the rational needs of clinical medication for children.

Objective:
To reveal the therapeutic effects of moxibustion in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat models using the combined analysis of plasma and synovial membrane lipidomic profiling and to enhance the understanding of how moxibustion affects lipid metabolism in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods:
A total of 32 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned to four groups: control, moxibustion control (MC), model, and moxibustion model (MM) groups, with 8 rats in each group. CIA was induced in SD rats by two immunizations. The paw volume was measured before the induction of CIA. Following induction, after assessing paw volume and arthritis index (AI) scores, the MC and MM groups received treatment at bilateral Shenshu (BL23) and Zusanli (ST36) acupoints for 10 min per acupoint. The intervention included three treatment courses, each spanning 6 d and followed by a 1-d interval. Paw volume and AI scores were assessed after each treatment course. After the completion of the three treatment courses, serum, plasma, synovial tissue, and ankle joint samples were collected. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to quantify the levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in serum. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was performed for histopathological examination of the ankle joint tissues. Meanwhile, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS) was utilized to analyze the plasma and synovial tissue samples. In addition, multivariate statistical analysis was performed to identify differential lipid metabolites, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis was applied to explore metabolic pathways modulated by moxibustion therapy.
Results:
No significant difference in hind paw volume and AI scores was observed among the groups (P > 0.05). After CIA induction, model group showed increased hind paw volume and AI scores compared with control group (P < 0.05), which were significantly reduced after moxibustion treatment in MM group compared with model group (P < 0.05). The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly higher in model and MM groups compared with control group (P < 0.05), but were lower in MM group than those in model group (P < 0.05). Histopathological analysis showed improved cartilage and reduced inflammation in MM group. A total of 33 differential lipid metabolites in the plasma and 24 in the synovial membranes of CIA rat models were identified when compared with control group. Among these lipid metabolites, 31 in the plasma and all 24 in the synovial membranes were regulated by moxibustion treatment. Pathological analysis revealed upregulation of diacylglycerol (DG) and fatty acid (FA) levels, alongside downregulation of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), phosphatidylcholine (PC), and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). Under physiological conditions, the treatment specifically reduced LPC and PC levels. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that moxibustion predominantly affected α-linolenic acid, glycerophospholipid, and sphingolipid metabolism under pathological conditions. Under physiological conditions, the regulation was centered around α-linolenic acid and glycerophospholipid metabolism.
Conclusion
The RA rat models exhibited significant lipid metabolic disturbances. Moxibustion alleviated paw swelling, reduced AI scores, modulated inflammatory cytokine levels, and partially corrected the altered levels of multiple lipid metabolites. The potential metabolic pathways implicated in the regulation of lipid metabolism under both physiological and pathological conditions include α-linolenic acid, glycerophospholipid, and sphingolipid metabolism.

Objectives:To evaluate the valvular and cardiac function,cardiac reverse remodeling at 6-month after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair(TEER)for patients with functional and degenerative mitral valve regurgitation,and summarize the experience of echocardiography application. Methods:The clinical data of 93 patients with moderate to severe mitral regurgitation(MR)treated with TEER and completed 6-month follow-up in Yunnan Fuwai Cardiovascular Hospital from July 2022 to February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into functional mitral regurgitation(FMR)and degenerative mitral regurgitation(DMR)groups according to MR etiology.The valve characteristic parameters,as well as valvular function,chamber volume and cardiac functional parameters before and at 6 months after operation were compared.The key points of echocardiography application were summarized. Results:Among all patients,71 were FMR and 22 were DMR.There were differences in valve structure between the two groups.Mitral TEER were successfully accomplished and all patients completed 6-month follow-up.The key points of echocardiography application included:valve structure analysis,atrial septal puncture location,device delivery process monitoring and image optimization during clamping process.The mitral regurgitation grade and NYHA grade were significantly improved in all patients at 6 months after TEER(P<0.05),and the mean mitral valve pressure gradient was higher than that before operation(P<0.05).Left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV),left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV)and left atrial volume index in FMR group were significantly decreased(P<0.05),while left ventricular and left atrial volume in DMR group remained unchanged(P>0.05).There were no significant changes in left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular global strain in both groups during the observation period(P>0.05).The changes of LVEDV and LVESV before and after operation were more significant in FMR group than those in DMR group(P<0.05). Conclusions:Mitral TEER can reduce the degree of regurgitation and improve cardiac function in the early postoperative period for moderate and severe MR patients with different etiologies.There are differences in preoperative valve structure and postoperative cardiac reverse remodeling between FMR and DMR patients.Echocardiography is an important imaging technique for the evaluation and monitoring process before,during and post mitral TEER.

Objective To investigate the correlation between tongue and pulse indicators and the out-come of live birth in patients undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer(FET),as well as the association between these indicators and patients'endocrine parameters. Methods This study was conducted at Reproductive Medicine Center,Shuguang Hospital Af-filiated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,Shanghai,China,from March 8,2021 to January 5,2022.Patients undergoing FET were divided into live birth and non-live birth groups according to their live birth outcome.The differences between the endocrine pa-rameters[basic follicle stimulating hormone(b FSH),basic luteinizing hormone(b LH),basic estradiol(b E2),basic progesterone(b P),basal endometrial thickness,follicle stimulating hormone(FSH)on endometrial transition day,luteinizing hormone(LH)on endometrial transition day,estradiol(E2)on endometrial transition day,progesterone(P)on endometrial transition day,and endometrial thickness on endometrial transition day]and the tongue and pulse indicators[tongue body(TB)-L,TB-a,TB-b,tongue coating(TC)-L,TC-a,TC-b,perAll,perPart,h1,h4,h5,t1,h1/t1,and h4/h1]of patients in the two groups were analyzed,with the correlation between these variables analyzed as well using Spearman's correlation coefficient.Multivariate logistic regression was employed to identify the influential factors in the live birth prediction models across various datasets,including Model 1 consisting of endocrine indica-tors only,Model 2 solely consisting of tongue and pulse indicators,and Model 3 consisting of both tongue,pulse,and endocrine indicators,as well as to evaluate efficacy of the models de-rived from different datasets. Results This study included 78 patients in live birth group and 144 patients in non-live birth group.Compared with non-live birth group,live birth group exhibited higher levels of TB-L(P=0.01)and TB-a(P=0.04),while demonstrated lower levels of b FSH(P=0.01),perAll(P=0.04),and h4/h1(P=0.03).The Spearman's correlation coefficient analysis revealed statisti-cally significant correlation(P<0.05)between TB-L,TB-b,TC-L,TC-b,perAll,perPart,h4,h5,t1,h1/t1 and b FSH,b LH,basal endometrial thickness,LH on endometrial transition day,E2 on endometrial transition day,P on endometrial transition day,and endometrial thickness on endometrial transition day in live birth group.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the prediction Model 3 for live birth outcome[area under the curve(AUC):0.917,95%confidence interval(CI):0.863-0.971,P<0.001]surpassed the Model 1(AUC:0.698,95%CI:0.593-0.803,P=0.001),or the Model 2(AUC:0.790,95%CI:0.699-0.880,P<0.001).The regression equations for the live birth outcomes,integrating tongue and pulse indicators with endocrine parameters,included the following measures:FSH on endometrial transition day[odds ratio(OR):0.523,P=0.025],LH on endometrial transition day(OR:1.277,P=0.029),TB-L(OR:2.401,P=0.001),perPart(OR:1.018,P=0.013),h1(OR:0.065,P=0.021),t1(OR:4.354,P=0.024),and h4/h1(OR:0.018,P=0.016). Conclusion In infertility patients undergoing FET,there exists a correlation between tongue and pulse indicators and endocrine parameters.The corporation of tongue and pulse indica-tors significantly improved the predictive capability of the model for live birth outcomes.Specifically,tongue and pulse indicators such as TB-L,perPart,h1,t1,and h4/h1 exhibited a discernible correlation with the ultimate live birth outcomes.

To analyze the disease group structure and its trends in key departments of large public hospitals using diagnosis related group (DRG) data, explore the key points of intervention and optimization of disease groups in departments, and further promote the rational allocation of department resources. We retrospectively collected DRG data from two surgical departments in a large public hospital in Beijing from 2017 to 2023. When the case mix index (CMI) of the two surgical departments declined, interventions such as performance appraisal, department education, and hospital publicity were promptly adopted. The changesin CMI values were observed and the trends in disease group weights, time consumption index, cost consumption index, and mortality rate in low-risk groups were analyzed. After the interventions, in surgical department Ⅰ, the proportion of patients with lower-weight diseases, such as major thyroid surgery (KD1), significantly decreased, while that of patients with higher-weight diseases, such as colorectal malignancy surgery (GB2) and pancreatic malignancy surgery (HB1), significantly increased. In surgical department Ⅱ, the proportion of patients with lower-weight diseases, such as chemotherapy (RE1), decreased markedly, while that of patients with higher-weight diseases, including major surgery for malignancy of kidney, ureter, and bladder (LA1), adrenal gland surgery (KC1), surgery for kidney/ureter/bladder except for major malignancy surgery (LB1), and male genital organ malignancy surgery (MA1), increased significantly. Both surgical departments achieved the goal of increasing their CMI values. In terms of efficiency, cost, and quality indicators, the time consumption index and cost consumption index of the two surgical departments were significantly lower than 1, and the mortality rate in low-risk groups was 0. Based on actual conditions and development goals, large public hospitals can achieve improvements in CMI values and optimization of disease group structures through reasonable interventions, thereby enhancing medical efficiency and rational utilization of resources.
