OBJECTIVE To ensure the safety of patients’ drug use and control the risk of medical insurance expenditure by upgrading the pre-prescription review system to conduct pre-review on prescriptions from internet hospitals and external prescriptions， as well as to review the payment methods of drugs （including in-hospital and external drug dispensing）. METHODS The data interfaces of prescriptions from internet hospitals and external prescriptions were integrated to achieve real-time rational drug use intervention. Additionally， an intelligent review project for payment method was added to precisely intervene in the medical insurance payment methods of drugs. The effect of the system upgrade was evaluated by comparing the qualification rates of prescriptions from internet hospitals and external prescriptions and the suspected amounts of drug violations from January to April 2025 （before the system upgrade） and May to August 2025 （after the system upgrade）. RESULTS After the upgrade of the pre-prescription review system， the qualification rates of prescriptions from internet hospitals and external prescriptions increased by 3.5% [95% confidence interval （CI）＝0.3%-6.7%， P ＝0.037 ] ； the suspected amounts of drug violations decreased to 52.9% of the pre-upgrade level （95%CI＝31.6%-88.5%， P ＝0.026）， and the average monthly sequential decrease was 29.5% （95%CI＝12.2%-43.4%， P ＝0.012）. Moreover， the addition of the intelligent review project for payment methods promoted the management of off-label drug use in our hospital. After the upgrade， a total of 79 filling valid applications for off-label drug use were received and archived. CONCLUSIONS The upgrade of the pre-prescription review system effectively improves the review qualification rates of prescriptions from internet hospitals and external prescriptions and the accuracy of medical insurance payment for drugs， and strengthens the supervision of off-label drug use， achieving dual guarantees of clinical rationality and medical insurance compliance.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy and mechanism of Bupi Qingfei prescription （BPQF） in treating stable bronchiectasis in the patients with syndromes of lung-spleen Qi deficiency and phlegm-heat accumulation in the lungs. MethodsA randomized， double-blind， placebo-controlled trial was conducted. Patients were randomized into BPQF and placebo control （PC） groups. On the basis of conventional Western medicine treatment， the BPQF granules and placebo were respectively administered at 10 g each time， twice a day， for a course of 24 weeks. The TCM symptom scores， Quality of Life Questionnaire for Bronchiectasis （QOL-B） scores， lung function indicators， T lymphocyte subsets， level of inflammatory factors in the sputum， level of neutrophil elastase （NE） in the sputum， and occurrence of adverse reactions were observed before and after treatment in the two groups. ResultsA total of 64 patients completed the study， encompassing 32 in the BPQF group and 32 in the PC group. After treatment， the BPQF group showed decreased TCM symptom scores （P<0.01）， increased QOL-B scores （P<0.01）， and declined levels of tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α and NE （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The PC group showed decreased TCM symptom （except spleen deficiency） scores （P<0.01）， increased the QOL-B health cognition and respiratory symptom domain scores （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and a declined TNF-α level （P<0.01）. Moreover， the BPQF group had lower TCM symptom （except chest tightness） scores （P<0.05， P<0.01）， higher QOL-B （except treatment burden） scores （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and lower levels of interleukin-6 and TNF-α （P<0.05） than the PC group. Neither group showed serious adverse reactions during the treatment process. ConclusionBPQF can ameliorate the clinical symptoms of stable bronchiectasis patients who have lung-spleen Qi deficiency or phlegm-heat accumulation in the lungs by regulating the immune balance and inhibiting airway inflammatory responses.

OBJECTIVE To develop a pharmacist-led intervention model for reducing drug-related medical insurance claim denial risks， so as to provide practical references for healthcare institutions in fulfilling their primary responsibility for medical insurance fund supervision. METHODS A risk matrix method was employed by the pharmacists to assess the risks associated with drug‑related medical insurance claim rejections in our hospital during 2024. Intervention measures were developed targeting high‑risk factors (including inappropriate indications for medical insurance coverage, exceeding the covered treatment course, and inappropriateness of gender and age) from three dimensions, namely organizational structure, technical prevention and control, and closed‑loop management. Changes in drug‑related claim rejection data were compared between 2024 (pre‑intervention) and 2025 (post‑intervention), and the interception effect of the pre‑prescription review system was evaluated after the intervention. RESULTS After the intervention, the total amount of drug‑related medical insurance claim rejections in our hospital was reduced by 57.24% compared with that before the intervention, and the number of rejected items decreased from 10 108 to 2 892. Specifically, the number of rejected items due to inappropriate indications, exceeded treatment course, inappropriate gender, and inappropriate age was reduced by 70.94%, 74.26%, 83.86%, and 96.70%, respectively. Throughout the year following the intervention, a total of 5.605 yuan million in outpatient prescription drug amounts and 4.683 million yuan in inpatient medication order amounts that did not meet the insurance‑limited payment requirements were intercepted by the pre‑prescription review system. The proportion of drug‑related claim rejection amount to the total medical service claim rejection amount of our hospital decreased to 19.7%. CONCLUSIONS The pharmacist-led multi-department collaborative， technical prevention and control， and dynamic optimization integrated full-process intervention model is highly operable and has significant practical effects. It has important promotion value in reducing drug-related medical insurance claim denial risks.

Malignant tumors are major diseases with a high incidence worldwide and seriously threaten human health， and their occurrence and development are closely associated with the abnormal activation of multiple signaling pathways. Among them， the vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）/VEGF receptor （VEGFR） signaling pathway plays a key regulatory role in tumor angiogenesis， which can be widely implicated in tumor proliferation， invasion， and metastasis through regulating the expression of downstream signaling proteins and genes， serving as a key target for cancer targeted therapy. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） possesses unique advantages including multiple components， multiple targets， holistic regulation， and mild adverse reactions in cancer prevention and treatment. This paper systematically sorts out existing research findings and analyzes the anti-tumor mechanisms of TCM in modulating this signaling pathway. Furthermore， this paper summarizes that TCM active components （such as oxymatrine， quercetin， and celastrol）， extracts （such as Prunellae Spica extract and Cinnamomi Cortex extract）， and compound prescriptions （such as Yupingfeng San and modified Wenyang Sanjie Formula） can inhibit tumor angiogenesis， reverse epithelial-mesenchymal transition， improve the tumor microenvironment， promote cancer cell apoptosis， and suppress cancer cell proliferation， migration， and invasion by regulating the VEGF/VEGFR signaling pathway and its key molecules， thereby exerting anti-tumor effects. This review provides new ideas for the research and development of cancer drugs and the optimization of treatment regimens.

Purpose: Cancer has become a significant major public health concern, making the discovery of new cancer markers or therapeutic targets exceptionally important. Elevated expression of tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 12A (TNFRSF12A) expression has been observed in certain types of cancer. This project aims to investigate the function of TNFRSF12A in tumors and the underlying mechanisms. Materials and Methods: Various websites were utilized for conducting the bioinformatics analysis. Tumor cell lines with stable knockdown or overexpression of TNFRSF12A were established for cell phenotyping experiments and subcutaneous tumorigenesis in BALB/c mice. RNA-seq was employed to investigate the mechanism of TNFRSF12A. Results: TNFRSF12A was upregulated in the majority of cancers and associated with a poor prognosis. Knockdown TNFRSF12A hindered the colorectal cancer progression, while overexpression facilitated malignancy both in vitro and in vivo. TNFRSF12A overexpression led to increased nuclear factor кB (NF-κB) signaling and significant upregulation of baculoviral IAP repeat containing 3 (BIRC3), a transcription target of the NF-κB member RELA, and it was experimentally confirmed to be a critical downstream factor of TNFRSF12A. Therefore, we speculated the existence of a TNFRSF12A/RELA/BIRC3 regulatory axis in colorectal cancer. Conclusion TNFRSF12A is upregulated in various cancer types and associated with a poor prognosis. In colorectal cancer, elevated TNFRSF12A expression promotes tumor growth, potentially through the TNFRSF12A/RELA/BIRC3 regulatory axis.

Cardiovascular diseases （CVD），a group of common diseases in clinical practice，are witnessing a steady rise in both incidence and mortality rates，posing a challenge to public health. Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang，originating from Synopsis of the Golden Chamber （《金匮要略》），was initially used to treat severe cases of chest impediment. The formula consists of Trichosanthis Fructus，Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus，Pinelliae Rhizoma，and Baijiu. It has a wide range of clinical applications，with therapeutic effects including moving Qi to relieve depression，activating Yang to dissipate mass，and expelling phlegm to alleviate chest congestion. In recent years，clinical research has confirmed that Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang，with or without modification，used alone or in combination with Western medicine，has definite effects in the treatment of CVD such as hyperlipidemia，coronary atherosclerotic heart disease，hypertension，heart failure，and arrhythmia. It can alleviate disease symptoms and reduce the risk of re-hospitalization. Basic research indicates that the mechanisms of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang include improving endothelial functions，exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties，countering oxidative stress，preventing apoptosis，inhibiting ventricular remodeling，regulating mitochondrial functions，improving hemorheology，and modulating autophagy and neurotransmitters. This article reviews relevant articles in recent years with focuses on the compatibility，clinical application，and mechanism of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang. This review is expected to provide a theoretical basis for the mechanism research and clinical application of this formula in treating CVD and to offer ideas and reference for in-depth research.
