OBJECTIVE To optimize the prescription pre-review system in our hospital and evaluate its application effects. METHODS Aiming at the problems of imperfect rule base and high false positive rate in the early operation of the system, optimization measures were taken, including improving the content of the rule base, adjusting the interception level and prompt mode, refining the working model of prescription review pharmacists, and strengthening clinical communication. A retrospective cohort study was conducted, with prescription data from June to December 2023 (before optimization) as the control group and June to December 2024 (after optimization) as the observation group. Through inter group comparative analysis, the actual effect of optimizing the prescription pre-approval system was evaluated. RESULTS The prescription qualified rate increased from (82.51± 4.04)% before optimization to (90.98±1.55)% after optimization; the false positive rate decreased from (20.87±1.64)% before optimization to (7.41±2.04)% after optimization. The monthly range of prescription qualified rate narrowed from 10.24% to 4.11%, and the coefficient of variation decreased from 4.92% to 1.73%. The monthly range of false positive rate slightly increased from 4.40% to 5.34%, the coefficient of variation rose from 8.32% to 26.18%. CONCLUSIONS Through multi-dimensional optimizations of the prescription pre-review system in our hospital, its prescription review efficiency has been significantly enhanced, the quality of prescriptions has steadily improved, and the accuracy of reviews has notably improved.

ObjectiveTo investigate the intervention effect of Jiedu Tongluo Tiaogan prescription (JTTP) in protecting pancreatic β cells by targeting the bile acid Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5)/cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway against NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. MethodThirty-two male SPF-grade db/db mice were randomly divided into the model group, low-dose JTTP group (3.6 g·kg-1), high-dose JTTP group (7.2 g·kg-1), and metformin group (0.2 g·kg-1). Eight db/m mice were assigned to the blank control group. The mice were treated with drugs for 8 weeks, and fasting blood glucose (FBG) was measured every 2 weeks. Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were conducted after the last administration. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect fasting insulin (FINS), and the homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function (HOMA-β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-1β levels were calculated. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe pathological changes in mouse pancreatic tissue. Immunofluorescence was performed to detect insulin expression in mouse pancreatic tissue. Western blot and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) were used to detect the expression of proteins and mRNAs of key targets in the TGR5/cAMP signaling pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome. ResultCompared with blank group, FBG, OGTT, FINS, IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β in model group were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group, after 6 weeks of drug treatment, FBG level in JTTP group and metformin group decreased significantly (P<0.01). The results of OGTT experiment showed that compared with model group, the blood glucose levels of mice in each administration group were decreased at all time points (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the levels of FINS, TNF-α and IL-6 in JTTP dose groups and metformin group were significantly decreased. The level of IL-1β in JTTP high-dose group and metformin group was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Pancreatic pathology showed that the islets in the model group were irregular in shape, uneven in distribution, and showed signs of atrophy. The prognosis of JTTP was that the cell count increased and the boundary was clearer. Immunofluorescence results showed that the islet cells in the blank group were arranged in an orderly and full shape with appropriate insulin secretion, while the islet cells in model group were distorted in shape, atrophy in structure and less insulin secretion. The insulin content of mice in JTTP and metformin group was significantly increased. Compared with blank group, mRNA expressions of NLRP3, apoptosis-related spot-like protein (ASC) and Caspase-1 in pancreatic tissues of model group were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group, JTTP high-dose group and metformin group promoted the up-regulation of TGR5 and cAMP mRNA, and down-regulated the mRNA expressions of NLRP3, ASC and Caspase-1 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with blank group, the expression of TGR5 protein in model group was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with model group, TGR5 protein in JTTP high-dose group and metformin group was significantly increased (P<0.01).

Middle-aged and elderly patients with femoral neck fracture often suffer from basic diseases. Conservative treatment will significantly increase the incidence of complications. At present, surgical treatment is mostly advocated. Internal fixation is one of the effective treatment methods for middle-aged and elderly patients with femoral neck fracture. It has the advantages of improving hip joint function, accelerating patient recovery, and improving patient quality of life. At present, there are many choices of internal fixation in the world, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no unified standard. Different surgical methods can be selected according to various factors such as fracture type, patient′s physical condition and surgical auxiliary technology. This article reviews the clinical progress of internal fixation for femoral neck fractures in middle-aged and elderly patients from four aspects: the characteristics of femoral neck fractures in middle-aged and elderly patients, common internal fixation methods, 3D printing guide plate auxiliary technology and artificial intelligence auxiliary technology.

Serum cholinesterase(ChE)level is important for the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of various diseases such as liver diseases and toxic diseases,and butyrylcholinesterase(BuChE)is an important component of ChE.Mutations in the BCHE gene can cause a significant reduction in the level of BuChE,with extensive reports in European and American populations and relatively few reports in Eastern countries,particularly China.This study describes a male patient,aged 35 years,who was misdiagnosed with organophosphorus pesticide poisoning due to an extreme reduction in ChE level and was given detoxification therapy,but such diagnosis was excluded by various biochemical examinations.Finally whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing revealed the complex heterozygous mutations of c.1027dup and c.401dup at exon 2 of the BCHE gene,and hereditary BuChE deficiency due to these mutations is the cause of the extreme reduction in ChE level.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in the treatment of severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH), and to provide a basis for clinical medication for SAH. MethodsA prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted among 172 SAH patients with a Maddrey discriminant function score of >32 points who were recruited by The Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from June 2015 to June 2018, and these patients were divided into NAC group with 84 patients and control group with 86 patients. NAC (8 g/day, 28 days) was assessed in terms of its safety in SAH patients, its impact on 28-day biochemical parameters, and its role in improving 28- and 180-day survival rates. A further analysis was performed to investigate the effect of NAC on the 28- and 180-day survival rates of SAH patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF-SAH patients) and those without acute-on-chronic liver failure (non-ACLF-SAH patients). The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves, and the Log-rank test was used for comparison of survival curves. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression model analyses were used to investigate independent influencing factors. ResultsNo serious adverse events were observed during NAC treatment, suggesting that NAC had a good safety profile. Compared with the control group, NAC did not significantly improve the 28-day biochemical parameters (all P>0.05) and survival rate of SAH patients (P=0.081), but it could improve the 180-day survival rate of SAH patients (67.4% vs 81.0%, χ2=4.280, P=0.039). NAC did not improve the 28- and 180-day survival rates of ACLF-SAH patients (both P>0.05); NAC did not improve the 28-day survival rate of non-ACLF-SAH patients (P>0.05), but it could improve the 180-day survival rate of these patients (68.4% vs 88.9%, χ2=4.883, P=0.027). The multivariate Cox regression survival analysis showed that NAC treatment (hazard ratio [HR]=2.530, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.334 — 4.796, P=0.004,), Maddrey discriminant function score (HR=3.852, 95%CI: 2.032 — 7.304, P<0.001), and serum sodium level (HR=1.948, 95%CI: 1.079 — 3.517, P=0.027) were independent influencing factors for 180-day survival rate in SAH patients. ConclusionNAC has a good safety profile in the treatment of SAH and can improve the 180-day survival rate of SAH patients, and in particular, non-ACLF-SAH patients can benefit from NAC treatment in terms of middle- and long-term survival rates.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a central neurodegenerative disease with still unclear pathogenesis. Recent studies have shown that axonal transport dysfuction of mitochondria may contribute to AD progression. Normal mitochondrial axonal transport mainly involves microtubules, molecular motors and connexins, while AD early pathological changes can damage mitochondrial axonal transport by interfering with these proteins: accumulated β-amyloid (Aβ) impairs the function of molecular motors; abnormally modified Tau protein reduces microtubule stability; mutant presenilin-1 (PS1) can induce phosphorylation of some related proteins by activating glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β); all these processes can damage mitochondrial axonal transport, leading to synaptic dysfunction. This review aims to clarify the possible mechanisms of axonal transport dysfuction of mitochondria in AD and provides new ideas for AD treatment.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the clinical and genetic characteristics of a child with clinical manifestations of hypoplasia, epilepsy and abnormal face.
METHODS:
The clinical data of the child were collected. The peripheral blood samples of the patient and his parents were extracted for high-throughput sequencing, and Sanger sequencing verification and bioinformatics analysis were performed to detect suspected pathogenic variants.
RESULTS:
The clinical manifestations of the child were overall developmental backwardness, seizures, autism, and special facial appearance. High throughput sequencing showed that there was a heterozygous mutation of exon 11: c.1920_c.1927delCCTCTACC (p.Ser641Rfs*31) of the DYRK1A gene. The same variant was found in neither of her parents, suggesting that it has a denovo origin.
CONCLUSION
The exon11: c.1920_c.1927delCCTCTACC (p.Ser641Rfs*31) mutation in DYRK1A gene was the genetic etiology of the case, which enriches the pathogenic gene spectrum of DYRK1A and provides the basis for clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling.

Microglia (MG) are resident immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS) and the first defense line of CNS damage. The maintenance of MG function requires abundant energy, and lipid can serve as an energy source for the brain when glucose utilization is limited, and lipid can also function as signaling molecule. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease, and MG lipid metabolism plays an important role in the development of this disease. Drugs targeting lipid metabolism provide a new direction for AD treatment. This review starts with the specific mechanism of lipid metabolism in MG, and briefly introduces the effect of lipid metabolism on MG function and its role in AD.
