		                        			OBJECTIVE To investigate the preferences of patients who underwent solid organ transplantation regarding therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and explore the factors influencing patients’ decision-making process, so as to provide support for the development of individualized medication guidelines for MPA and improvement of clinical decision-making. METHODS The cross-sectional study was used to design the questionnaire on the patients’ preferences to accept MPA TDM, and involved patients who underwent solid organ transplantation and received MPA treatment at two tertiary hospitals in Beijing from April 14, 2022, to June 27, 2022. The Likert 5-level scoring method was used to score the patients’ preferences to accept MPA TDM, the influencing factors and their correlation of the patients’ preferences to accept MPA TDM were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis, and the nonparametric test and chi-square test were used to rank and analyze the consistency of the factors affecting patients’ preference decision. RESULTS A total of 140 questionnaires were collected, and the effective recovery rate was 77.35%. The average preference score of 140 patients to receive MPA TDM was (4.01±0.65), and the overall preference value was high. There were 116 (82.86%) patients agreed or strongly agreed with MPA TDM. Significant differences were observed in preference scores between patients who had previously undergone MPA TDM and those who had never undergone it ([ 4.30±0.53) scores vs. (3.80±0.65) scores, P<0.001]. Additionally, patients’ preference scores were significantly influenced by their understanding level and attention level (P<0.001). The ranking of factors contributing to decision-making exhibited consistency (P<0.001). The factors were ranked in descending order of clinical efficacy, safety, comfortability, economy and time cost. CONCLUSIONS The patients who underwent solid organ transplantation hold high preferences towards MPA TDM. The primary factors influencing their decisions are their prior experience, understanding level, and attention level.

		                        			OBJECTIVE To systematically summarize the working model of pharmacy consultation in medical institutions in China, and to provide reference for the normalization of process, standardization of content and homogenization of services of pharmacy consultation. METHODS A systematic search of Chinese and English literature databases was conducted to incorporate the literature on the working model of pharmacy consultation published by medical institutions in China. Two researchers screened and extracted the key information, and ultimately conducted qualitative summary and descriptive analysis. RESULTS Based on the included 11 articles, the pharmacy consultation working models were explored by clinical pharmacists in China. The contents of consultation mainly involved anti-infection, parenteral nutrition, cancer pain, etc. The general concept of pharmacy consultation should refer to the constructed flowchart, specific consultation problems could refer to the pathway, mind map, or decision tree and other framework guidance to carry out the work. Finally, consultation opinions could be written according to the consultation system or specialty consultation templates, and the adoption of a new working model (such as pharmacist active consultation) could also promote the number and acceptance rate of pharmacy consultation. CONCLUSIONS A series of working models of pharmacy consultation have been initially explored in medical institutions in China. However, it is not yet perfect and lacks a unified quality control and evaluation system for pharmacy consultation, which should be the focus of future research and practice.

		                        			OBJECTIVE To explore suitable storage and transportation conditions for “internet plus drug delivery” under high- temperature conditions. METHODS A survey on high-temperature conditions in summer in Beijing was conducted; a retrospective analysis was conducted on “internet plus drug delivery” orders in our hospital from July 2021 to June 2022, summarizing the proportion and delivery range of drugs under different storage and transportation conditions. Additionally, simulation and validation experiments were performed to investigate optimal drug storage and transportation devices for “internet plus drug delivery” in Beijing under high-temperature conditions in summer. RESULTS The monthly average temperature in Beijing from June to August consistently exceeded 25.0 ℃ between 1991 and 2022. From July 2021 to June 2022, a total of 104 drugs were required to be stored below 25.0 ℃, accounting for 31.23% of the 333 drugs listed in our hospital’s “internet plus drug delivery” catalog in Beijing. These drugs were delivered 1 058 times, accounting for 19.63% of the total deliveries. Simulation and validation experiments demonstrated that the average maximum temperature during the next-day delivery process of “carton + foam box + composite aluminum film pearl cotton + 500 g ice bag×2 + gas column bag” was 9.6 ℃, the average minimum temperature was 2.7 ℃, and all the temperatures remained below 15.0 ℃, which could effectively ensure the quality of drugs. CONCLUSIONS Under the high-temperature conditions in summer in Beijing, the storage and transportation device of “carton + foam box + composite aluminum film pearl cotton + 500 g ice bag×2 + gas column bag” can meet the temperature requirements specified in the drug storage instructions for Beijing intra-city drug delivery.
