Objective To explore the effect of community pharmacy outpatient service on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods A non-randomized controlled study was conducted, and type 2 diabetes patients managed in the community were divided into an intervention group of 112 cases and a control group of 110 cases. The control group received routine medication guidance during general practice outpatient visits, while the intervention group received comprehensive pharmacy outpatient service intervention based on routine medication guidance in general practice. Follow-up visits were conducted every 3 months. Repeated measurement analysis of variance and multivariate linear regression analysis were used to evaluate the intervention effect of the pharmacy outpatient service. Results Fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels in the intervention group showed a decreasing trend with the increase of intervention time compared to pre-intervention time （P<0.01）, with increased duration of weekly exercise, decreased staple food intake, increased vegetable intake, and increased medication adherence score （P<0.01）. After adjusting for confounding factors through multivariate linear regression model, pharmacy outpatient intervention was found to be an independent protective factor for fasting blood glucose level （β=−0.891, P<0.01） and glycosylated hemoglobin level （β=−0.760, P<0.01） in the study subjects. Conclusion The community pharmacy outpatient service could enhance the self-management ability of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and effectively improve patients’ fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin.

ObjectiveTo understand the epidemiological distribution and gene evolutionary variation of influenza A (H3N2) viruses in Fengxian District, Shanghai, in the surveillance year of 2023, and to provide a reference basis for influenza prevention and control. MethodsThe prevalence of influenza virus in Fengxian District in the 2023 influenza surveillance year (April 2023‒March 2024) was analyzed. The hemagglutinin (HA) gene, neuraminidase (NA) gene, and amino acid sequences of 75 strains of H3N2 influenza viruses were compared with the vaccine reference strain for similarity matching and phylogenetic evolutionary analysis, in addition to an analysis of gene characterization and variation. ResultsIn Fengxian District, there was a mixed epidemic of H3N2 and H1N1 in the spring of 2023, with H3N2 being the predominant subtype in the second half of the year, and Victoria B becoming the predominant subtype in the spring of 2024. A total of 75 influenza strains of H3N2 with HA and NA genes were distributed in the 3C.2a1b.2a.2a.2a.3a.1 and B.4 branches, with overall similarity to the reference strain of the 2024 vaccine higher than that of the reference strain of the 2022 and 2023 vaccine. Compared with the 2023 vaccine reference strain, three antigenic sites and one receptor binding site were changed in HA, with three glycosylation sites reduced and two glycosylation sites added; where as in NA seven antigenic sites and the 222nd resistance site changed with two glycosylation sites reduced. ConclusionThe risk of antigenic variation and drug resistance of H3N2 in this region is high, and it is necessary to strengthen the publicity and education on the 2024 influenza vaccine and long-term monitoring of influenza virus prevalence and variation levels.

Objective:To investigate the application effect of Precede-Proceed model nursing in postoperative anti-osteoporosis treatment of patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture (OTLF).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 168 patients with OTLF admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from September 2021 to June 2022, including 32 males and 136 females, aged 56-81 years [(72.0±6.6)years]. The fractured segments were T 1-T 10 in 29 patients, T 11-L 2 in 114 and L 3-L 5 in 25, all of whom were treated with percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). The 86 patients admitted from September 2021 to January 2022 were treated with conventional care (conventional nursing group) and the 82 patients admitted from February to June 2022 with Precede-Proceed model care (Precede-Proceed model nursing group). The compliance rates of anti-osteoporosis treatment at 1 and 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were compared between the two groups, mainly including standardized medication, balanced diet, exercise and regular return visit. Chinese Osteoporosis Quality of Life (COQOL) questionnaire, including pain degree, physical function, social interaction ability, psychological and mental function, and total score were assessed before, at 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up. Bone mineral density was measured preoperatively and at the last follow-up. Recurrence rate was recorded at the last follow-up. Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-16 months [(13.2±1.0)months]. There were 3 patients in the conventional nursing group and 2 in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group who were lost to follow-up. The compliance rates of standardized medication and regular return visit at 1 month after surgery were 97.5% (78/80) and 98.8% (79/80) in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group, which had no significant difference compared with 90.3% (75/83) and 96.4% (80/83) in the conventional nursing group ( P>0.05). The compliance rates of balanced diet and exercise at 1 month after surgery were 92.5% (74/80) and 91.3% (73/80) in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group, which were higher than those in the conventional nursing group [78.3% (65/83) and 73.5% (61/83)] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The compliance rates of standardized medication, balanced diet, exercise and regular return visit at 6 months after surgery were 86.3% (69/80), 83.8% (67/80), 82.5% (66/80) and 90% (72/80) in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group, which were higher than those in the conventional nursing group [57.8% (48/83), 60.2% (50/83), 38.6% (32/83) and 37.3% (31/83)] ( P<0.01). At the last follow-up, the compliance rates of all the aspects in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group were 80% (64/80), 75% (60/80), 70% (56/80) and 82.5% (66/80), which were all higher than those of the conventional nursing group [36.1% (30/83), 54.2% (45/83), 26.5% (22/83) and 27.7% (23/83)] ( P<0.01). There were no statistical differences in COQOL scores including pain degree, physical function, social interaction ability, psychological and mental function and total scores between the two groups before surgery ( P>0.05). The pain degree, social interaction ability, psychological and mental function and total scores of COQOL in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group were lower than those in conventional nursing group at 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up ( P<0.05 or 0.01). There was no statistical difference in the physical function of COQOL scores at 6 months after surgery ( P>0.05). The physical function of COQOL scores in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group were significantly lower than that of the conventional nursing group at the last follow-up ( P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in preoperative bone mineral density between the two groups ( P>0.05). Bone mineral density in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group was (-2.7±0.9)SD at the last follow-up, which was higher than that in the conventional nursing group [(-3.1±0.9)SD] ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, bone mineral density of the Precede-Proceed model nursing group was significantly improved compared with that before surgery ( P<0.01), while there was no significant difference in the conventional nursing group ( P>0.05). The incidence of refracture in the Precede-Proceed model nursing group was 3.8% (3/80), which was lower than that in conventional nursing group [13.3% (11/83)] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the conventional nursing mode, the Precede-Proceed model nursing can significantly improve the compliance rate of OTLF patients with postoperative anti osteoporosis treatment, improve their quality of life and bone quality, and reduce the incidence of refracture.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Jiangshabanxia nano-paste on nausea and vomiting in end-stage patients and its effect on the quality-of-life (QOL) in cancer patients. Methods 120 end-stage patients with nausea and vomiting symptoms above grade III were randomly divided into observation group and control group. They were treated with Jiangshabanxia nano-paste and placebo paste respectively. The paste patch was changed every 24 hours and used continuously for 7 days. The nausea and vomiting symptom score, the quality-of-life measurement score and KPS score of cancer patients in the two groups were observed to evaluate the curative effect. Results After 7 days of treatment, the symptom scores of nausea and vomiting in the observation group decreased significantly, the KPS score of the observation group increased, and the effective rate was higher than that in the control group. The score of QOL measurement showed that after treatment, the score of main symptom areas and other symptom areas (except external dyspnea, diarrhea and economic difficulties) in the observation group decreased, and the score of overall health area increased. After treatment, the score of main symptom areas and other symptom areas (except external dyspnea, diarrhea and economic difficulties) in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the scores of overall health area in the observation group were higher than those in the control group. Conclusion Jiangshabanxia nano-paste has a good clinical efficacy nausea and vomiting in end-stage patients, it also can improve the quality of life end-stage cancer patients.

MEK is a canonical effector of mutant KRAS; however, MEK inhibitors fail to yield satisfactory clinical outcomes in KRAS-mutant cancers. Here, we identified mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) induction as a profound metabolic alteration to confer KRAS-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) resistance to the clinical MEK inhibitor trametinib. Metabolic flux analysis demonstrated that pyruvate metabolism and fatty acid oxidation were markedly enhanced and coordinately powered the OXPHOS system in resistant cells after trametinib treatment, satisfying their energy demand and protecting them from apoptosis. As molecular events in this process, the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) and carnitine palmitoyl transferase IA (CPTIA), two rate-limiting enzymes that control the metabolic flux of pyruvate and palmitic acid to mitochondrial respiration were activated through phosphorylation and transcriptional regulation. Importantly, the co-administration of trametinib and IACS-010759, a clinical mitochondrial complex I inhibitor that blocks OXPHOS, significantly impeded tumor growth and prolonged mouse survival. Overall, our findings reveal that MEK inhibitor therapy creates a metabolic vulnerability in the mitochondria and further develop an effective combinatorial strategy to circumvent MEK inhibitors resistance in KRAS-driven NSCLC.

Objective To evaluate the quality of the clinical trial literatures published on the treatment of COVID-19 with TCM, find out the shortcomings and put forward corresponding suggestions, in order to promote TCM against COVID-19. Methods "COVID-19", "New Coronavirus Pneumonia", "TCM", "Chinese Medicine", "Clinical Trial", "Lianhua Qingwen", "Huoxiang Zhengqi", "Jinhua Qinggan", and other keywords were used to search relevant literatures in CNKI and PubMed database. Among the all the screened relevant literatures on the treatment of COVID-19 with TCM, the literature quality was assessed according to evaluation criteria of clinical trial literatures. Results A total of 463 papers related to the treatment of COVID-19 with TCM were obtained. 440 papers on theoretical research on the network pharmacology mechanism of Chinese medicine treatment of COVID-19 were excluded. Among the 23 articles included in the quality analysis, there are 3 randomized controlled studies, 1 multi-center prospective randomized controlled trial, 2 disease case report trials, and 5 uncontrolled single arm studies, 5 controlled trials and 7 retrospective studies. In the period of more than half a year, although many clinical trial documents of TCM for the treatment of COVID-19 have been published, the clinical trial design reflected in most TCM clinical trials were not standardized. There are problems in "randomness and rationality", such as no control group, no randomization design, only case studies, no blinding method in controlling bias, and insufficient objectivity in the evaluation criteria of efficacy. All of these need to be improved. Conclusion The treatment of new coronavirus pneumonia with TCM still requires more and standardized clinical trial verifications and publications to generate strong evidence-based results, such as adding control groups, increasing sample size, and using blinding methods to increase the credibility of clinical trials.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of high-risk population of hypertension in Shanghai， and to provide references for health management and targeted lifestyle intervention of the high-risk population in community. Methods:The data from the 2013 Shanghai Non-communicable and Chronic Diseases Surveillance were used. The subjects who met the criteria of high-risk population of hypertension were included， and 11 753 subjects were finally identified， to analyze the distribution and level of risk characteristics. Result:Among six high-risk characteristics of hypertension， the detection rate of high salt in diet was the highest （55.3%）， followed by overweight/obesity （44.0%）， family history of hypertension （41.6%）， and blood pressure level of （130-139）/（85-89） mmHg （31.7%）. The detection rate of excessive drinking was the lowest （5.0%）. The percentage of population with one or two high-risk characteristics was higher than that with three or more high-risk characteristics （76.9% vs. 23.1%）. Systolic blood pressure， diastolic blood pressure， fasting plasma glucose level， and body mass index in the male high-risk group were higher than those in the female group， and the differences were statistically significant （P<0.05）. Systolic blood pressure， diastolic blood pressure， fasting plasma glucose level， body mass index and daily salt intake were different between different age groups， educational level and occupational types （P<0.05）. Systolic blood pressure， diastolic blood pressure， body mass index and daily salt intake were significantly different among high-risk groups with different marital status （P<0.05）. The daily salt intake and systolic blood pressure levels of high-risk population in different areas were significantly different （P<0.05）. Conclusion:We should identify high-risk groups of hypertension as early as possible and actively carry out community health management and targeted lifestyle interventions. The focus should be on the groups and individuals with high-risk characteristics such as dietary high salt and overweight/obesity， male， middle-aged and low-educated groups. In this way， we can reduce the level of high-risk characteristics， prevent and delay the occurrence of hypertension.
