OBJECTIVE To systematically investigate the current status and effectiveness of the standardized on-the-job training program for community clinical pharmacists in Shanghai， and to provide a scientific basis for optimizing the training scheme. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect the data from trainees and mentor pharmacists who participated in the program between 2016 and 2024. The survey examined their basic information， evaluations of the training scheme， satisfaction with training outcomes， and suggestions for improvement. Statistical analyses were also conducted. RESULTS A total of 420 valid responses were collected， including 340 from trainees and 80 from mentor pharmacists. Before training， only 30.29% of trainees were engaged in clinical pharmacy-related work， whereas this proportion increased to 73.24% after training. Most mentor pharmacists had extensive experience in clinical pharmacy （76.25% with ≥5 years of experience） and mentoring （78.75% with ≥3 teaching sessions）. Totally 65.59% of trainees and 55.00% of mentor pharmacists believed that blended training yielded the best learning outcomes. Over 80.00% of both trainees and mentor pharmacists considered the overall training duration， theoretical study time， and practical training time to be reasonable. More than 95.00% of trainees and mentor pharmacists agreed that the homework and assessment schemes were appropriate. Trainees rated the relevance of training content to their actual work highly （with an average relevance score ＞4.5）， though they perceived the chronic disease medication therapy management module as significantly more challenging than the prescription review and evaluation module and the home-based pharmaceutical care module. The average satisfaction score of trainees and mentor pharmacists with the training effectiveness of each project was above 4 points， indicating a high overall satisfaction. Inadequate provision of teaching resources was unanimously recognized by trainees and mentor pharmacists as the key area requiring improvement. CONCLUSIONS The standardized on-the-job training program for community clinical pharmacists in Shanghai has contributed to improving pharmaceutical services in community healthcare settings. However， ongoing improvements must concentrate on content design， resource development， and faculty cultivation.

Objective To mine the adverse drug events(ADE)signal of avatrombopag,an effective drug for thrombocytopenia treatment,based on real world data in order to provide reference for its clinical safety application.Methods The OpenVigil2.1 pharmacovigilance platform was used to obtain the ADE report data of avatrombopag from May 2018 to March 2023 in the database of FDA adverse event reporting system(FAERS).The ADE signals were classified and described by the system organ class(SOC)and preferred term(PT)of the ADE terminology set in the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities(MedDRA),and reporting odds ratio(ROR)and UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency(MHRA)comprehensive standard were used to detect the positive ADE signals.Results A total of 1 879 ADE reports related to avatrombopag were obtained,24 SOCs were involved,and 28 positive ADE signals were detected at PT level.Among these signals,the strongest ones were renal vein thrombosis,portal vein thrombosis and graft versus host disease,while the reports accounting for the largest numbers were headache,fatigue and asthenia.There were 8 ADE signals discovered newly,that is,seasonal allergy,back disorder,musculoskeletal discomfort,flatulence,hypersomnia,rash macular,emotional disorder,and rhinorrhoea.Conclusion For clinical use of avatrombopag,clinicians should not only concern the risk of thrombosis,but also pay close attention to ADE signals such as seasonal allergy,back disorder,musculoskeletal discomfort,flatulence,hypersomnia,rash macular,emotional disorder,and rhinorrhoea that are not documented in the instructions.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of multiple apheresis platelet donation on platelet indexes and aggregation function in platelet donors, and to analyze the relationship between platelet indexes and their relationship with platelet aggregation rate. 【Methods】 A total of 83 platelet donors were randomly selected from Foshan Central Blood Station from September 2021 to October 2022, and were divided into control group (n= 9, first-time platelet donors or donors with the time interval from the last platelet donation >1 year) and study group (n= 74, repeat platelet donors or donors with the time interval from the last platelet donation ≤ 1 year) according to the times of blood donation. The study group was divided into 4 subgroups: 2-5 times group, 6-10 times group, 11-15 times group and 16 times group. The platelet count(Plt), platelet distribution width (PDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), large platelet ratio (P-LCR), and maximum platelet aggregation rate (MAR) before donation in each group were detected and analyzed. 【Results】 There were no significant differences in Plt, MPV, PDW, P-LCR and MAR between the subgroups and the control group (P>0.05), and there were no significant differences in Plt, MPV, PDW, P-LCR and MAR between each subgroup (P>0.05) .There was a positive correlation between Plt and MAR in blood donors (P<0.05), and the correlation coefficient was 0.445. MPV, PDW and P-LCR were negatively correlated with MAR (P<0.05), and the correlation coefficients were -0.282, -0.233 and -0.217, respectively. Plt was negatively correlated with MPV, PDW and P-LCR (P < 0. 05), and the correlation coefficients were -0.399, -0.307 and -0.339, respectively. MPV, PDW and P-LCR are positively correlated with each other. The correlation coefficient between MPV and PDW was 0.792, that between MPV and P-LCR was 0.863, and tthat between PDW and P-LCR was 0.817. 【Conclusion】 There was no significant effect of multiple platelet donations on Plt, PDW, MPV, P-LCR and MAR in blood donors. Plt has the most significant impact on MAR among platelet indexes of platelet donors.

Tumor-targeted immunotherapy is a remarkable breakthrough, offering the inimitable advantage of specific tumoricidal effects with reduced immune-associated cytotoxicity. However, existing platforms suffer from low efficacy, inability to induce strong immunogenic cell death (ICD), and restrained capacity of transforming immune-deserted tumors into immune-cultivated ones. Here, an innovative platform, perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB) nanoemulsions holding MnO₂ nanoparticles (MBP), was developed to orchestrate cancer immunotherapy, serving as a theranostic nanoagent for MRI/CT dual-modality imaging and advanced ICD. By simultaneously depleting the GSH and eliciting the ICD effect via high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy, the MBP nanomedicine can regulate the tumor immune microenvironment by inducing maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) and facilitating the activation of CD8⁺ and CD4⁺ T cells. The synergistic GSH depletion and HIFU ablation also amplify the inhibition of tumor growth and lung metastasis. Together, these findings inaugurate a new strategy of tumor-targeted immunotherapy, realizing a novel therapeutics paradigm with great clinical significance.

Chronic hepatitis B caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health issue. Antiviral therapy for chronic HBV infection plays a critical role, and the goal of antiviral therapy is mainly defined by virological, serological, and biochemical parameters. As the two types of antiviral drugs approved for marketing, both interferon and nucleos(t)ide analogues can alleviate liver inflammation and liver fibrosis and reduce the incidence rates of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the ideal goal of antiviral therapy is functional cure, which significantly improves the long-term outcome of chronic hepatitis B. The limitation of current treatment is that it can inhibit HBV replication, but cannot clear the virus, with low serological clearance rates of HBeAg and HBsAg. Development of new drugs with the goal of functional cure and evaluation of the synergistic and combined effects of existing drugs are important directions for HBV treatment and development.

OBJECTIVES: Due to the genetic feature of high diversity than other DNA markers, short tandem repeat (STR) plays key roles in forensic, anthropology, and population genetics. Newly introduced multiple STR kit is more valuable because of the greatly improved discriminatory power with the increase in the number of STR loci. The genetic polymorphic data are essential for the application and research in specific population. This study aims to investigate the genetic polymorphism of Han population residing in Yuncheng district, Shanxi Province, to evaluate the application of 23 STR loci in forensic personal identification and paternity test, and to explore the genetic relationship of Han population between Yuncheng and other populations. METHODS: A total of 23 STR loci were amplified from 525 healthy unrelated individuals from the Han nationality in Yuncheng, Shanxi Province using the AGCU EX25 amplification kit. The products were detected and separated by ABI 3500 Genetic Analyzer. Alleles were genotyped by GeneMapper ID (Version 3.2) software, and corresponding frequencies and forensic parameters were calculated. We calculated the genetic distance and plotted the neighboring-joining tree with other 13 population. RESULTS: The allele frequency of the 23 STRs ranged from 0.0010 to 0.5090. No deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium ( CONCLUSIONS These 23 STRs are highly genetic polymorphic and informative in the Han population of Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, which can provide basic data for forensic personal identification, paternity testing, and population genetic research.

Purpose: NUF2 has been implicated in multiple cancers recently, suggesting NUF2 may play a role in the common tumorigenesis process. In this study, we aim to perform comprehensive meta-analysis of NUF2 expression in the cancer types included in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Materials and Methods: RNA-sequencing data in 31 cancer types in the TCGA data and 11 independent datasets were used to examine NUF2 expression. Silencing NUF2 using targeting shRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines was used to evaluate NUF2’s role in HCC in vitro and in vivo. Results: NUF2 up-regulation is significantly observed in 23 out of the 31 cancer types in the TCGA datasets and validated in 13 major cancer types using 11 independent datasets. NUF2 overexpression was clinically important as high NUF2 was significantly associated with tumor stages in eight different cancers. High NUF2 was also associated with significantly poorer patient overall survival and disease-free survival in eight and six cancers, respectively. We proceeded to validate NUF2 overexpression and its negative association with overall survival at the protein level in an independent cohort of 40 HCC patients. Compared to the non-targeting controls, NUF2 knockdown cells showed significantly reduced ability to grow, migrate into a scratch wound and invade the 8 μm porous membrane in vitro. Moreover, NUF2 knockdown cells also formed significantly smaller tumors than control cells in mouse xenograft assays in vivo. Conclusion NUF2 up-regulation is a common feature of many cancers. The prognostic potential and functional impact of NUF2 up-regulation warrant further studies.

Objective:To investigate the effects of hemophagocytic syndrome also known as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) on the clinical features and therapeutic efficacy of patients with Epstein-Barr virus-positive T-cell lymphoma (EBV-TCL).Methods:The clinical data of patients with EBV-TCL diagnosed by pathological examination in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from November 2015 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether they were accompanied with HLH at the time of onset, patients were divided into HLH group (10 cases) and non-HLH group (13 cases), and the clinical features and prognosis of the two groups were compared. The curative effects of different treatment methods and patients with different plasma EBV-DNA titers were compared.Results:Among 23 patients, 3 cases (13.0%) were in Ann Arbor stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, 20 cases (87.0%) were in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ; the International Prognostic Index (IPI) score was 1 point in 3 cases (13.0%), 2 points in 4 cases (17.4%), 3 points in 8 cases (34.8%), 4 points in 8 cases (34.8%). In the HLH group, there were 2 cases of aggressive NK-cell leukemia and 3 cases of childhood systemic EBV-TCL. There were no cases of above two pathological types in the non-HLH group. In the HLH group, the proportions of patients with fever, bone marrow invasion, IPI score > 2 points, and EBV-DNA > 10 4 copies/ml were higher than those in the non-HLH group (all P < 0.05). The objective response rate (complete remission plus partial remission) of all patients after chemotherapy was 47.8% (11/23); there were 3 cases undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in both the HLH group and the non-HLH group, and all achieved objective remission. The objective remission of 7 patients and 10 patients who did not undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the HLH group and non-HLH group after lymphoma chemotherapy had 0 case and 5 cases, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.044). In the chemotherapy alone group, 5 of 17 patients had objective remission, 6 patients in the chemotherapy plus transplantation group had objective remission, and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.039). Among 16 patients whose plasma EBV-DNA titers turned negative, 11 patients had objective remission, and 7 patients whose plasma EBV-DNA titers were continuously positive had no objective remission, and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.001). The 1-year overall survival rate of all patients was 69.3%, and the 2-year overall survival rate was 52.0%. In the HLH group, the 1-year and 2-year overall survival rates of 7 patients receiving chemotherapy alone and 3 patients receiving chemotherapy plus transplantation were 42.9% and 66.7%, respectively. In the non-HLH group, the 1-year overall survival rates of 10 patients receiving chemotherapy alone and 3 patients receiving chemotherapy plus transplantation were 80.0% and 100.0%, respectively; the 2-year overall survival rates were 26.7% and 100.0%,respectively. The overall survival of patients receiving chemotherapy plus transplantation was better than that of those receiving chemotherapy alone in both the HLH group and the non-HLH group, and differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The general clinical stage of patients with EBV-TCL is later, and the prognosis of EBV-TCL patients with HLH is worse. The therapeutic efficacy may be related to plasma EBV-DNA titers. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can improve the remission rate.

Objective:To explore the effect of prominent mandibular angle osteotomy on the quality of life, mental health and social function, as well as the factors related to the postoperative satisfaction.Methods:A total of 235 patients with prominent mandibular angle were collected from the Department of Plastic Surgery, Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from December 2016 to December 2019. All patients underwent intraoral mandibular angle osteotomy. The Chinese version of FACE-Q questionnaire was used to evaluate their facial appearance, quality of life, mental health and social function before and 6 months after operation. The higher the score (0-100), the higher the satisfaction. Paired t-test was used to analyze the differences between preoperative and postoperative result, and stepwise regression analysis was used to explore the factors affecting postoperative satisfaction. Results:A total of 83 people completed the questionnaires, including 12 males and 71 females. Educational level was recorded as: 1 person graduated from junior high school, 11 people from senior high school, 54 people obtained a bachelor’s degree, 17 people obtained a master’s degree or above, with an average age of 25.8 years old. One patient was not satisfied, and the other patients were satisfied. The scores of different dimensions after operation were significantly higher than those before operation. The satisfaction with lower face and mandible increased by 32.54 ±13.77, and the satisfaction with chin increased by 8.17 ±10.97. The overall facial appearance satisfaction, mental health and social function (self-confidence) increased by 31.42 ±15.67, 18.17 ±16.39 and 14.11 ±13.34 respectively. There were significant differences in FACE-Q scores in different dimensions among patients with different educational levels. It was found by Pearson’s relevant research that there was a positive correlation between the influence of psychological function and social function on patients’ satisfaction ( r: 0.482-0.806, P<0.001). By stepwise regression analysis, it was found that the postoperative mandibular contour and the beauty of the lower face had a significant positive effect on the outcome satisfaction ( B>0, P<0.05, R2=0.584). Conclusions:The facial appearance, quality of life, mental health and social function (self-confidence) of the patients after mandibular angle operation were improved. Patients’ satisfaction after operation is affected by many factors, among which the most important and most likely factor is the post-operative mandibular contour and the appearance of the lower face. Meanwhile, it is also closely related to educational level, psychological function and social function.
