OBJECTIVE To summarize the current situation of pharmaceutical clinic service in our hospital over the past five years， and explore sustainable development strategies for service models of pharmaceutical clinics. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on the consultation records of patients who registered and established files at the pharmaceutical clinic in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2023. Statistical analysis was performed on patients’ general information， medication- related problems， and types of pharmaceutical services provided by pharmacists. RESULTS A total of 963 consultation records were included， among which females aged 20-39 years accounted for the highest proportion （66.04%）； obstetrics and gynecology- related consultations accounted for the largest number of cases. Additionally， 80 patients attended follow-up visits at our hospital’s pharmaceutical clinic. A total of 1 029 medication-related issues were resolved， including 538 cases of drug consultations （52.28%）， 453 medication recommendations （44.02%）， 22 medication restructuring（2.14%）， and 16 medication education （1.55%）； the most common types of medication-related problems identified were adverse drug events（70.07%）. CONCLUSIONS Although the pharmaceutical clinic has achieved recognition from clinicians and patients， challenges such as low awareness among healthcare providers and the public persist. Future efforts should focus on strengthening information technology construction， enhancing pharmacist training， and establishing various forms of outpatient pharmaceutical service models.

Objective:To confirm the potential etiological factors of congenital aortic stenosis(AS)by genetic analysis on prenatal diagnostic results of the fetus with AS.Methods:Amniocentesis for chromosomal G-band karyotyping combinated with single nucleotide polymorphism array(SNP-array)analysis was conducted on the amniotic fluid collected from a 25-week pregnant woman diagnosed as"fetus AS";chromosome karyotyping was also performed on the peripheral blood of the fetal parents.Results:The fetal karyotype analysis showed a chimeric Y-chromosome isobaric double-adherent granules.The SNP-array analysis results revealed a 11.2 Mb duplication in the Yp11.31q11.21 region and a 14.8 Mb deletion in the Yq11.21q11.23 region.Both the parents presented a normal karyotype,suggesting it was a newfound mutation.After extensive genetic counseling,the pregnant woman and her family chose to terminate the pregnancy locally.Conclusion:The chromosomal karyotype of the chimeric Y-chromosome isobaric double-adherent granules may be a contributing factor to the AS phenotype in the male fetus.The combined use of chromosomal karyotyping and SNP-array analysis on the amniotic cells is instrumental in the early diagnosis of the disease.

Objective To compare the clinical curative effect of retroauricular and tympanic injection of methylprednisolone sodium succinate combined with hyperbaric oxygen in nerve deafness.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the case data with nerve deafness.According to cohort method,they were divided into retroauricular injection group(retroauricular injection of 40 mg methylprednisolone sodium succinate+hyperbaric oxygen therapy)and tympanic injection group(tympanic injection of 40 mg methylprednisolone sodium succinate+hyperbaric oxygen therapy).Both groups were treated for 7 times(once every other day).The curative effect,pure tone hearing threshold,oxidative stress and inflammatory response indexes were compared between the two groups,and adverse reactions were statistically analyzed.Results There were 56 cases in retroauricular injection group and 60 cases in tympanic injection group.There was no significant difference in total response rate between retroauricular injection group and tympanic injection group(92.86％vs 88.33％,P＞0.05).After treatment,average pure tone hearing thresholds in retroauricular injection group and tympanic injection group were(38.49±5.71)and(40.35±6.23)dB;high-frequency hearing thresholds were(61.36±6.52)and(63.42±7.09)dB;low-frequency hearing thresholds were(59.72±6.85)and(60.81±7.26)dB;levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD)were(112.38±10.72)and(110.43±10.29)U·mL-1;levels of lipid peroxide(LPO)were(4.69±1.08)and(5.03±1.12)nmol·mL-1;endothelin(ET)levels were(2.11±0.76)and(2.34±0.81)ng·L-1;interleukin-6(IL-6)levels were(31.79±4.27)and(33.18±4.98)pg·mL-1;levels of C-reactive protein(CRP)were(5.25±1.48)and(5.72±1.62)mg·L-1;levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were(45.33±4.61)and(46.95±5.24)ng·L-;the difference was not statistically significant(all P＞0.05).During treatment,there were significant differences in total incidence of adverse reactions between retroauricular injection group and tympanic injection group(23.21％vs 51.67％,P＜0.05).There were 11 case times of local pain and 4 case times of vertigo in retroauricular injection group,while there were 30 case times of local pain and 15 case times of vertigo in tympanic injection group.Conclusion Retroauricular injection or tympanic injection of methylprednisolone sodium succinate combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy has the comparable curative effect in patients with nerve deafness;the two administration modes both can promote hearing recovery,relieve reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory response.However,retroauricular injection has lower incidence of local pain and vertigo.

ObjectiveRapid and accurate identification of body fluid traces at crime scenes is crucial for case investigation. Leveraging the speed and sensitivity of nucleic acid detection technology based on SHERLOCK, our research focuses on developing a peripheral blood SHERLOCK-HBA detection system to detect mRNA in forensic practice. MethodsShort crRNA fragments targeting the blood-specific mRNA gene HBA were designed and screened, alongside RPA primers. Optimal RPA primers were selected based on specificity and amplification efficiency, leading to the establishment of the RPA system. The most efficient crRNA was chosen based on relative fluorescence units (RFU) generated by the Cas protein reaction, and the Cas protein reaction system was constructed to establish the SHERLOCK-HBA detection method. The RPA and Cas protein reaction systems in the SHERLOCK detection system were then individually optimized. A total of 79 samples of five body fluids were tested to evaluate the method’s ability to identify blood, with further verification through species-specific tests, sensitivity tests, mixed spots detection, aged samples, UV-irradiated samples, and actual casework samples. ResultsThe SHERLOCK reaction system for the peripheral blood-specific marker HBA was successfully established and optimized, enabling detection within 30 min. The method demonstrated a detection limit of 0.001 ng total RNA, better than FOB strip method and comparable to RT-PCR capillary electrophoresis. The system could detect target body fluids in mixed samples and identify blood in samples stored at room temperature for three years and exposed to UV radiation for 32 h. Detection of 11 casework samples showed performance comparable to RT-PCR capillary electrophoresis. ConclusionThis study presents a CRISPR/Cas-based SHERLOCK-HBA detection system capable of accurately, sensitively, and rapidly identifying blood samples. Introducing CRISPR/Cas technology to forensic body fluid identification represents a significant advancement in applying cutting-edge molecular biology techniques to forensic science.The method’s simplicity, shorter detection time, and independence from specialized equipment make it promising for rapid blood sample identification in forensic cases.

Among the current curricula of medical teaching in China, most courses focus on the integrated teaching of a single organ-system combination, while there are relatively a few integrated courses that focus on the multiple dimensions between different organs and systems and between medical sciences and social sciences. In 2016, Chongqing Medical University started to cooperate with University of Leicester to establish the clinical medicine major and introduced the course of Integration for Clinical Application (ICA) that had been run well in University of Leicester for years. With reference to the education goal of our university, the curriculum group adopted a series of actions for the localization of this course from the aspects of teaching objectives, contents, teaching model, education resources, and quality of faculty. After the completion of the first round of this course, the passing rate reached 86.96%(100/115) in the quantified evaluation of accomplishment, which was higher than the passing rate of other courses introduced from University of Leicester. The quantitative expert assessment of this course also ranked among the top courses in our university, and student assessment showed that the ability indicators were improved by 25.00%- 38.00%. The above data show that good results have been achieved for the curriculum localization of ICA.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

AIM To investigate the protective effects of Didang Decoction-containing serum on rat glomerular endothelial cells(RGECs)following high glucose injury.METHODS Rats were given distilled water or Didang Decoction by gavage to prepare the blank serum or Didang Decoction-containing serum.CCK8 method was used to screen the glucose concentration for the modeling and serum concentration of the drug.The RGECs were divided into the blank group,the model group,Didang Decoction group(10%Didang Decoction medicated serum),Dapagliflozin group(normal serum+2 μmol/L Dapagliflozin)and Didang Decoction+Dapagliflozin group(10%Didang Decoction medicated serum+2 μmol/L Dapagliflozin).24 hrs after the drug treatment,the RGECs had their mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2,HO-1 and NQO-1 detected by RT-qPCR method and Western blot method;their Nrf2 fluorescence expression detected by immunofluorescence method;and their SOD activity and MDA level detected by colorimetric method.RESULTS Compared with the blank group,the model group displayed decreased mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2,HO-1 and NQO-1 as well as the activity of SOD(P＜0.01),and increased MDA level(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the groups intervened with the drugs showed increased mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2,HO-1 and NQO-1 as well as the activity of SOD(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and decreased MDA level(P＜0.01).CONCLUSION Didang Decoction-containing serum can protect RGECs from high glucose injury through activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of overexpression of LncRNA MEG3 on proliferation,migration and cisplatin sensitivity of hepatoma cells HepG2 and LM3 and explore the underlying and mechanism.Methods The expression of MEG3 in healthy individuals and patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)was analyzed by online bioinformatics analysis,and Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to detect MEG3 expression in different HCC cell lines.A MEG3-overexpresing plasmid was transfected in HepG2 and LM3 cells,and the changes in cell proliferation and migration were examined using CCK8 assay and scratch assay.CCK8 assay was used to determine the inhibitory rate of cisplatin on the transfected cells.A reactive oxygen species(ROS)fluorescence probe(DCFH-DA)and malondialdehyde(MDA)kit were used to assess the changes in ROS production and MDA level in the cells.Western blotting was performed to detect the expression levels of ferroptosis-related proteins glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)and ferritin heavy chain 1(FTH1).Results The expression of MEG3 was significantly lower in HCC cells than in LO2 cells,which was consistent with the results of bioinformatic analysis(P<0.05).Overexpression of MEG3 in the HCC cell lines significantly suppressed cell proliferation and migration(P<0.05),increased the cell inhibition rate of cisplatin(P<0.05),enhanced cellular ROS production and increased MDA levels in the cells(P<0.05).MEG3 overexpression significantly decreased the expressions of GPX4 and FTH1 in the HCC cell lines.Conclusion The expression of MEG3 is decreased in HCC cells,and its overexpression inhibits proliferation and migration and enhances cisplatin sensitivity of HCC cells by promoting ferroptosis of the cells.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of leucine zipper/EF-hand-containing transmembrane protein 1(LETM1)on proliferation,migration,apoptosis,osteogenic differentiation,and tumorigenesis in vivo of human osteosarcoma MG63 and 143B cells.Methods The osteosarcoma MG63 and 143B cells were divided into blank control group(without adenovirus infection),negative control group(sh-NC group,infected with RNAi negative control virus),and LETM1 knockdown group(sh-LETM1 group,infected with sh-LETM1 adenovirus).Western blotting was performed to detect LETM1 expression in normal human osteoblasts hFOB1.19 and osteosarcoma cells,and to verify the knockdown effect of adenovirus;cell clone formation assays and CCK-8 method were used to detect the proliferation of MG63 and 143B cells;wound-healing assay and Transwell assay were used to test cell migration;DAPI staining and Annexin V-APC/7-AAD flow cytometry double staining were used to detect the apoptosis of MG63 and 143B cells;alkaline phosphatase(ALP)staining and Alizarin Red S staining were used to evaluate early and late osteogenic differentiation of MG63 and 143B cells.Ten nude mice were divided into sh-NC group(n=5,injected subcutaneously into nude mice with 143B cells infected with RNAi negative control virus)and sh-LETM1 group(n=5,injected subcutaneously into nude mice with 143B cells infected with sh-LETM1 adenovirus),and nude mice subcutaneous tumor formation assay was used to examine the in vivo tumor-forming ability of 143B cells in each group.Results Western blotting showed that the expression of LETM1 protein in osteosarcoma MG63 and 143B cells was significantly higher than that in human normal osteoblasts hFOB1.19(P<0.05),and that the expression of LETM1 protein was markedly reduced after injection with sh-LETM1 adenovirus in MG63 and 143B cells.The results of cell clone formation assay and CCK-8 assay indicated that in MG63 and 143B osteosarcoma cells,the clone formation ability and proliferation ability were significantly reduced in sh-LETM1 group compared with sh-NC group and blank control group(P<0.01).The results of wound-healing assay and Transwell assay demonstrated that in MG63 and 143B osteosarcoma cells,the cell migration rate in sh-LETM1 group was significantly lower than that in sh-NC group and blank control group(P<0.01).DAPI staining and flow cytometry results revealed that the apoptosis rate in sh-LETM1 group was significantly higher than those in MG63 and 143B osteosarcoma cells in sh-NC group(P<0.01).Alkaline phosphatase staining and Alizarin red S staining experiments showed more stained areas and calcium salt nodules in MG63 and 143B osteosarcoma cells in sh-LETM1 group than those in sh-NC group and blank control group.The results of the subcutaneous tumor formation assay in nude mice indicated that subcutaneous tumor formation ability was reduced in 143B sh-LETM1 group compared with 143B sh-NC group.Conclusion LETM1 promotes the proliferation,migration and in vivo tumor formation of MG63 and 143B osteosarcoma cells and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of apoptosis and osteogenic differentiation.
