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 analyze the HLA typing and STR loci chimerism in a patient with recurrent acute lymphoblastic leukemia after HLA-haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods: HLA typing was performed on peripheral blood, buccal swabs and saliva samples after transplantation using PCR-sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes (PCR-SSOP) and next-generation sequencing (NGS). Additionally, STR analysis was conducted on these samples using a 21-locus STR assay kit to detect STR loci. Results: The HLA typing and STR locus outcomes of the patient's peripheral blood and the second saliva sample post-transplantation were in full concordance with the test results of the donor (father), whereas the HLA typing and STR locus results derived from the buccal swabs and the first saliva sample indicated chimerism between the donor and the recipient. Conclusion: In the follow-up and monitoring after transplantation, apart from focusing on peripheral blood samples, it is recommended to regularly monitor HLA typing and STR loci chimerism in patients' buccal swabs and saliva samples to comprehensively evaluate the transplantation effect and recurrence risk.

Objective To explore the dynamic changes and mechanisms of neurological and cognitive functions in mice with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods Totally 60 12⁃month⁃old Balb/ c mice were divided into control group (10 in group) and TBI group (50 in group). TBT model mice were divided into 5 subgroups according to the time of model construction, including model 1 day, model 1 day, model 3 day, model 7 day, model 14 days and model 28 days group with 10 in each group. At the 29th day of the experiment, neurological scores and step down tests were carried out. After the test, the mice were sacrificed for brains which were detected by immunohistochemistry staining, inflammatory cytokine tests and Western blotting. Results Compared with the control group, the neurological scores of mice in TBI group increased, and then decreased after the 7th day when the scores reached the peak. However, the latency of step down errors was lower than control group, and the number of step down errors was higher than control group which had no changes. Compared with the control group, the expression of lonized calcium⁃binding adapter molecule 1(IBA1), chemokine C⁃X3⁃C⁃motif ligand1 (CX3CL1), C⁃X3⁃C chemokine receptor 1(CX3CR1), NOD⁃like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3), and phosphorylation nuclear factor(p⁃NF)⁃κB in TBI group increased and reached to the peak at the 7th day, and then started to decrease. At the same time, the levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin⁃6(IL⁃6) and tumor necrosis factor⁃α(TNF⁃α) first increased to the peak, and then began to decrease. However, compared with the control group, the expression of amyloid β(Aβ) protein and p⁃Tau protein in the model group continued to increase at all time. Conclusion The TBI model caused continuous activation of microglia along with inflammatory response, which first increased and then decreased, resultsing in neurological scores changes. In addition, the inflammatory response may act as a promoter of Aβ protein deposition and Tau protein phosphorylation, leading to cognitive impairment in mice.

Objective: To analyze the influencing factors for hospitalization costs among stroke patients with different subtypes, so as to provide the reference for reducing the economic burden of patients. Methods: Data of patients with hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke who were discharged from hospitals in Nanshan District, Shenzhen City from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2021 were collected through Hospital Information System. Hospitalization costs were analyzed between hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke patients, and factors affecting hospitalization costs among stroke patients with different subtypes were identified using a structural equation model. Results: A total of 10 298 patients with stroke were recruited, including 2 820 patients with hemorrhagic stroke (27.38%) and 7 478 patients with ischemic stroke (72.62%). The patients with hemorrhagic stroke had a median duration of hospital stay of 19.00 (interquartile range, 18.00) d, and a median hospitalization cost of 26 759.48 (interquartile range, 51 000.87) Yuan. The patients with ischemic stroke had a median duration of hospital stay of 12.00 (interquartile range, 10.00) d, and a median hospitalization cost of 12 199.87 (interquartile range, 13 290.20) Yuan. Structural equation model analysis showed that department of hospitalization, discharge status, ways of leaving hospital, surgery and hypertension had direct effects on hospitalization costs and indirect effects on hospitalization costs through duration of hospital stay among hemorrhagic stroke patients, and duration of hospital stay had the highest total effect (0.684), followed by surgery (0.632). Employment status, admission route, department of hospitalization, ways of leaving hospital, payment mode, surgery and dyslipidemia had direct effects on hospitalization costs and indirect effects on hospitalization costs through duration of hospital stay among ischemic stroke patients, and duration of hospital stay (0.746), surgery (0.424) and department of hospitalization (0.151) ranked the top three in total effects. Conclusion The hospitalization cost is relatively high among stroke patients in Nanshan District, and duration of hospital stay and surgery have great influence on hospitalization costs among stroke patients with different subtypes.

Objective To explore the prognostic impact and clinical application value of therapeutic plasma exchange(TPE)intervention timing and liver injury periodization in patients with exertional heat stroke(EHS).Methods Data of 127 EHS patients from the First Medical Center of the General Hospital of the People′s Liberation Army from January 2011 to December 2023 were collected,then divided into the death group and the survival group based on therapeutic outcomes and into 5 stages according to the dynamic changes of ALT,AST,TBIL and DBIL.According to propensity score matching analysis,11 patients in the survival group and 12 patients in the death group were included in the statistical analysis,and 20 of them were treated with TPE.The changes in indicators and clinical outcomes before and after TPE were observed,in order to evaluate the impact of intervention timing on prognosis.Results Among the 23 patients,14 had no liver injury or could progress to the repair phase,resulting in 3 deaths(with the mortality rate of 21.43%),while 9 patients failed to pro-gress to the repair phase,resulting in 9 deaths(with the mortality rate of 100%),with significant differences(P＜0.05).The mortality rate of the first TPE intervention before the third stage of liver injury was 23.08%(3/13),while that of interven-tion after reaching or exceeding the third stage was 85.71%(6/7),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion TPE should be executed actively in EHS patients combined with liver injury before the third phase to lock its pathological and physiological processes,thereby improving prognosis and reducing mortality.

Objective:To delineate a deletional mutation of the HLA-B gene in a Chinese pedigree.Methods:A female patient with acute myeloid leukemia who had visited Liuzhou People′s Hospital in April 2022 was selected as the study subject. Routine human leukocyte antigen (HLA) was determined by using PCR-sequence specific oligonucleotide polymorphism (PCR-SSOP) and PCR-sequence-based typing (PCR-SBT) methods. Next generation sequencing (NGS) was used to validate the candidate variant in the HLA-B gene.Results:The PCR-SBT and SSOP results for the HLA-B locus were inconsistent for the patient and her daughter. The SSOP results of the two individuals were HLA-B*35: 01, 40: 02 and HLA-B*35: 01, 40: 01, respectively. However, the PCR-SBT results has indicated a mismatch with the nearest HLA-B*35: 01 at exon 4. NGS results showed that the HLA-B*35: 01 had a 9 bp deletion in the intron 5. The patient′s husband was HLA-B*40: 01, 58: 01, which was normal. Conclusion:The variant in intron 5 of the HLA-B gene in this pedigree has mapped to a primer-binding region for the SBT reagent, which has affected the accuracy of PCR-SBT results.

Objective To observe the value of radiomics models based on gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid(Gd-EOB-DTPA)enhanced hepatobiliary phase(HBP)MRI for assessing clinical pathological stage of hepatic fibrosis(HF).Methods Data of 240 patients with pathologically/clinically diagnosed and clinical pathological staged HF who underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MR examination were retrospectively analyzed.The liver-to-muscle signal intensity ratio(SIR1)and liver-to-spleen signal intensity ratio(SIR2)were measured based on HBP images.Radiomics features of HBP images were extracted and screened to construct radiomics models.The signal intensity ratio(SIR)-radiomics combined models were constructed based on SIR and radiomics signatures.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were drawn to evaluate the efficacy of each model for assessing clinical pathological stage of HF.Results The area under the curve(AUC)of SIR1 and SIR2 models for assessing clinical pathological stage of HF were 0.63-0.70 and 0.65-0.71,respectively.The most effective radiomics model for assessing HF,significant HF,advanced HF and early cirrhosis was support vector machine(SVM),SVM,light gradient boosting machine and K-nearest neighbor model,respectively,with the AUC in validation set of 0.87,0.82,0.81 and 0.80,respectively,while the AUC of SIR-radiomics combined models in validation set of 0.88,0.82,0.82 and 0.81,respectively.Conclusion The radiomics models based on Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced HBP MRI were helpful for assessing clinical pathological stage of HF.Combining with HBP SIR could improve their efficacy.

AIM:The study aimed to explore the effect of curcumin(Cur)on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-in-duced RAW264.7 cell-derived osteoclasts,together with its underlying mechanism.METHODS:An osteoclast model was established by treating RAW264.7 cells with LPS.The viability of the cells was assessed by CCK-8 assays and osteo-clast formation was evaluated by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP)activity.The levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS),Fe2+,glutathione(GSH),and malondialdehyde(MDA)were examined by biochemical assays.Mitochondrial morphology was assessed by transmission electron microscopy.The mRNA and protein levels of p53,glutathione peroxi-dase 4(GPX4),and solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11)were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot,re-spectively.RESULTS:Treatment with LPS successfully induced osteoclasts formation in RAW264.7 cells.The TRAP results showed that compared with the LPS-treated group,the number of osteoclasts and TRAP activity in the curcumin-treated group decreased dose-dependently(P<0.01).Compared with the control group,the LPS+Erastin group showed significantly increased TRAP activity(P<0.01),while after curcumin treatment,the TRAP activity declined in a dose-de-pendent manner(P<0.01).The results of the biochemical tests showed that compared with the control group,the LPS+Erastin group had significantly elevated levels of ROS,Fe2+,and MDA,while the GSH level was significantly reduced(P<0.01),and compared with the LPS+Erastin group,the ROS,Fe2+,and MDA levels in the curcumin group decreased(P<0.01)and GSH levels increased(P<0.01).These effects were all dose-dependent.Transmission electron microscopy showed that compared with the LPS group,the LPS+Erastin group had reduced mitochondrial cristae and increased mem-brane density,while after treatment with curcumin,both these effects were reversed.The RT-qPCR and Western blot re-sults showed that compared with the control group,the mRNA and protein levels of p53 in the LPS+Erastin group were sig-nificantly increased,while those of of SLC7A11 and GPX4 were significantly reduced(P<0.01).After curcumin treat-ment,the p53 mRNA and protein levels were reduced while the levels of SLC7A11 and GPX4 were increased(P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Curcumin can inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced differentiation of RAW264.7 cells into osteoclasts,and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the p53/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway.
