OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of pharmaceutical quality control on the efficiency and outcomes of standardized medication therapy management (MTM) services for patients with coronary heart disease by using Economic, Clinical and Humanistic Outcomes (ECHO) model. METHODS This study collected case data of coronary heart disease patients who received MTM services during January-March 2023 (pre-quality control implementation group, n=96) and June-August 2023 (post-quality control implementation group, n=164). Using propensity score matching analysis, 80 patients were selected from each group. The study subsequently compared the economic, clinical, and humanistic outcome indicators of pharmaceutical services between the two matched groups. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups after matching (P>0.05). Compared with pre-quality control implementation group, the daily treatment cost (16.26 yuan vs. 24.40 yuan, P<0.001), cost-effectiveness ratio [23.12 yuan/quality-adjusted life year (QALY) vs. 32.32 yuan/QALY, P<0.001], and the incidence of general adverse drug reactions (2.50% vs. 10.00%, P=0.049) of post-quality control implementation group were decreased significantly; the utility value of the EuroQol Five-Dimensional Questionnaire (0.74± 0.06 vs. 0.71±0.07, P=0.003), the reduction in the number of medication related problems (1.0 vs. 0.5, P<0.001), the medication adherence score ([ 6.32±0.48) points vs. (6.10±0.37) points, P=0.001], and the satisfaction score ([ 92.56±1.52) points vs. (91.95±1.56) points, P=0.013] all showed significant improvements. Neither group experienced serious adverse drug reactions. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of new adverse reactions between the two groups (1.25% vs. 3.75%, P=0.310). CONCLUSIONS Pharmaceutical quality control can improve the quality of pharmaceutical care, and the ECHO model can quantitatively evaluate the effect of MTM services, making pharmaceutical care better priced and more adaptable to social needs, thus being worthy of promotion.

Objective:To investigate the effect of rehabilitation exercise combined with resistance training on the postoperative recovery and quality of life among patients with pulmonary nodules.Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted on 90 patients with pulmonary nodules who underwent thoracoscopic resection of pulmonary nodules at Zhejiang Veteran Hospital between January 2022 and April 2023. Patients were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group, with 45 patients in each group using the random number table method. The control group underwent routine rehabilitation exercise, whereas the observation group received resistance training combined with routine rehabilitation exercise. All patients were treated for 1 week. The incidence of postoperative complications and the changes in lung function, exercise endurance, and quality of life from baseline levels were compared between the two groups.Results:The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [6.7% (3/45) vs. 24.4% (11/45), χ2 = 5.41, P = 0.020). After intervention, the forced expiratory volume in 1 second, maximal voluntary ventilation per minute, and forced vital capacity in the observation group were (83.84 ± 4.35)%, (96.53 ± 3.45) L/min, and (2.87 ± 0.16) L, respectively, which were higher than those in the control group [(78.98 ± 4.01)%, (92.13 ± 3.08) L/min, (2.62 ± 0.19) L, t = -5.51, -6.38, -6.75, all P < 0.001]. Additionally, the modified Medical Research Council dyspnea score in the observation group was (0.42 ± 0.13) points, which was significantly lower than that in the control group [(0.87 ± 0.19) points, t = 13.11, P < 0.001). The modified Barthel index score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(89.53 ± 3.67) points vs. (82.94 ± 4.23) points, t = -7.89, P < 0.001). Conclusion:The combination of rehabilitation exercise and resistance training can effectively enhance lung function, exercise endurance, and overall quality of life in patients with pulmonary nodules. Furthermore, this combined therapy markedly reduces postoperative complications.

With the deepening of China's medical reform, people's demand for health is growing, which promotes the construction of "new medicine" and puts forward higher requirements for the cultivation and education of medical students. Undergraduate medical education is a crucial period for the growth of medical students, and how to do a good job in undergraduate teaching under the background of "new medicine" is currently a research hotspot. The clinical teaching stage is an important period for medical students to fully understand clinical disciplines and cultivate their understanding of specialties. Therefore, we should explore new teaching methods and means to adapt to the needs of the new era. In the context of "new medicine", the medical-engineering fusion diagnosis and treatment technology has become an important trend in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of oncology. In order to adapt to this change, clinical teaching and teaching management in oncology also need new exploration and research. Taking the clinical teaching of oncology as an example, this article discusses how to cultivate medical students' thinking of medical-engineering fusion.

OBJECTIVE To explore the safety, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of elderly patients with sarcopenia receiving Shenling baizhu powder combined with nutrition and exercise intervention, providing a reference for rational clinical drug use. METHODS A total of 237 elderly sarcopenia patients were randomly assigned to an observation group (118 cases) and a control group (119 cases). Both groups of patients received nutrition and exercise intervention; the observation group added Shenling baizhu powder (6 g each time, three times daily) on this basis. The safety, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of the two plans were compared after 3 months. RESULTS Both groups of patients completed the follow-up. Before intervention, no significant difference was observed in skeletal muscle index (SMI), grip strength, and 6-minute walk test (6MWT) speed between the two groups (P>0.05). After intervention, the grip strength of the patients in the observation group was significantly greater than that of the control group (25.05 kg vs. 23.18 kg, P<0.01); the treatment response rate of sarcopenia, SMI, and 6MWT speed were higher than those of the control group, butthe differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The adverse reaction/event rate of the patients in the observation group was lower than that of the control group (14.41% vs. 16.81%, P=0.611), but the difference was not statistically significant. Compared with the control group’s plan, the cost of the observation group’s plan was higher (981.25 yuan vs. 913.94 yuan), and the effect was better (effectiveness rate: 0.618 6 vs. 0.563 0), with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of 1 210.61 yuan. The results of the sensitivity analysis were consistent with the cost-effectiveness analysis results. CONCLUSION Elderly patients with sarcopenia who receive Shenling baizhu powder combined with nutrition and exercise intervention can significantly strengthen grip strength without increasing the incidence of adverse reactions/events. Compared with the control group plan, the observation group needs to spend an additional 1 210.61 yuan for each additional effective patient with sarcopenia.

Objective:To analyze the drug resistance characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae in the nasopharynx of hospitalized patients in North China from 2022 to 2023. Methods:From November 2022 to July 2023, nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from 100 inpatients in Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology, and Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated and cultured. At the same time, the clinical data of the patients were collected, including gender, age, department, clinical diagnosis of disease type, etc. The minimum inhibitory concentration of strains was detected by an automatic bacterial drug sensitivity system. The drug resistance genes, ST types, capsule serotypes and population structure of the strains were analyzed by whole genome sequencing and data analysis. Results:Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated from 55 nasopharyngeal swabs of 100 inpatients(55.00%). Among the 55 inpatients with Klebsiella pneumoniae in the nasopharynx, 70.91% (39/55) were male, with an age distribution concentrated between 61 and 80 years old (58.18%, 32/55), and 50.91% (28/55) were in intensive care units (ICU). The main underlying disease type was nervous system disease (49.09%, 27/55). The results of drug sensitivity showed that the non-susceptibility rates of 55 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae to cephalosporins, quinolones, aztreonam and nitrofurantoin were all more than 80.00%. Twenty-eight carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains (50.91%), 47 extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing strains (85.45%), and 48 multi-drug-resistant strains (87.27%) were detected. A total of 11 antibiotic resistance genes were detected, including carbapenems (carrying rate 76.36%) and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (carrying rate 96.36%). The 55 strains could be divided into 17 ST types, and the most common type was ST11 (25.45%). The 55 strains were divided into 18 capsular serotypes, among which K102 was the most prevalent (23.64%). OXA-1_ST307_K102 (21.82%) and KPC-2_ST5492_K125 (18.18%) were the dominant clones, distributed in the Department of Neurosurgery and ICU. The result of whole genome sequence analysis showed that there were four clusters with high homology among the 55 strains. The strains from the ICU formed two independent clusters, and strains from the Neurology ICU and Neurosurgery department formed one cluster respectively. Conclusion:The carrying rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae in the nasopharynx of inpatients is high, and the drug resistance of the strains is serious. There are many types of drug-resistant genes.

Objective:To discuss the protective effect of Syringin (SYR) on myotube cell atrophy induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and its molecular mechanism.Methods:After C2C12 myoblasts were differentiated into myotubes, they were divided into normal control group, model group and syringin group according to the random number table method. The cultured medium of model group and syringin group were added with LPS with a concentration of 200 ng/ml; the cultured medium of the syringin group was also added with 10 μmol/L syringin for 24 h. CCK8 was used to detect cell viability. In cell supernatant, NO release was detected with Griess and TNF-α level was detected by ELISA kit. The expression of NF-κB, PPAR γ1, MyHC were detected by Western blot.Results:Compared with the model group, the viability of cells [(101.08±8.92)%, (79.53±5.19)% vs. (69.07±7.16)%] in the 10 μmol/L and 100 μmol/L syringin groups were significantly increased ( P<0.01 or P<0.01), of which 10 μmol/L syringin had better effect. Compared with the model group, the level of NO [(2.92±0.33) μmol/L vs. (3.57±0.41) μmol/L] in the syringin group was significantly decreased after 6 hours of intervention ( P<0.01), and the cells in the syringin group after 24 hours of intervention, the level of TNF-α [(2.73±0.29) pg/ml vs. (4.15±0.29) pg/ml] was significantly decreased ( P<0.01), and the protein expression of cellular NF-κB (0.95±0.24 vs. 1.16±0.28) was significantly decreased ( P<0.05), the protein expression of MyHC (0.79±0.15 vs. 0.70±0.16) was increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:SYR could inhibit the inflammatory response induced by LPS, promote the activity of myotubes, and antagonize the damage of LPS to myotube cells.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of Zhizi prescription (ZZP) on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced acute and subacute liver injury and its mechanism. MethodAcute and subacute liver injury animal models were induced. C57 mice were randomly divided into a normal group, model group, obeccholic acid group, ZZP high-dose (0.5 g·kg-1) group, and ZZP low-dose (0.25 g·kg-1) group. According to the experiment design, the serum and liver tissue of mice were collected after the last administration. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Sirius staining was used to observe the liver pathological changes. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), liver homogenate hydroxyproline (Hyp), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were determined by kit. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the liver tissue were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expressions of collagen 1A1 (Col1a1), collagen 3A1 (Col3a1), fibronectin (FN), transforming growth factor β receptor Ⅱ (Tgfbr2) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in the liver tissue. ResultIn terms of the acute liver injury, as compared with the normal group, the levels of ALT, AST, TBIL and MDA in the model group were significantly increased (P<0.01), while the activity of liver SOD was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with model group, the ZZP high-dose and low-dose groups both significantly reduced the degree of liver cell injury, and protected the acute liver injury induced by CCl4. The ZZP high-dose group had a better effect than the ZZP low-dose group. In terms of the subacute liver injury, the levels of ALT, AST, MDA,TNF-α and IL-6 in the model group were significantly increased (P<0.01), while the activity of liver SOD was significantly decreased (P<0.01). As compared with the model group, liver Hyp content in the ZZP high-dose and low-dose groups was significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the collagen deposition in liver of both groups was significantly reduced. The ZZP high-dose group also significantly down-regulated the mRNA expressions of α-SMA, Col1a1, Col3a1, FN, and Tgfbr2 in the liver of mice (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionZZP effectively protects the acute and subacute liver injury induced by CCl4, and the protective effect is proportional to its concentration. The mechanism may be related to the increase of the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the liver tissue, the decrease of the level of lipid peroxidation, and the inhibition of inflammatory response, thus reducing collagen deposition and improving early liver fibrosis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on the activation of human Tenon fibroblasts (HTFs) and its mechanism.Methods:Tenon capsule tissues from nine eyes of nine advanced primary open angle glaucoma patients during trabeculectomy were obtained for primary cell culture.HTFs harvested were identified by immunofluorescence staining for vimentin and keratin.Cells at passage 4-6 were used for experiment.Viability of HTFs treated with EGCG at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 μmol/L was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay.The cells were divided into blank control group, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1-induced group, and EGCG-treated group, which were cultured in normal medium, medium containing 10 ng/ml TGF-β, medium containing 10 ng/ml TGF-β+ 50 μmol/L EGCG, respectively.The proliferation rate of HTFs was detected by BrdU labeling assay.Cell migration was observed by scratch wound healing assay.The expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) was measured by immunofluorescence staining.The protein relative expression levels of Smad2/3, phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt) as well as the phosphorylated Smad2/3 (p-Smad2/3) and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) were measured by western blot.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (NO.GDREC2019331H[R1]).Results:The HTFs harvested had spindle shape, grew regularly and were vimentin-positive.CCK-8 assay showed that there was no significant difference in the variability of HTFs treated with EGCG at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 μmol/L in comparison with 0 μmol/L EGCG treatment (all at P<0.05). BrdU labeling assay showed that cell proliferation in the TGF-β1-induced group was (66.37±12.65)%, which was significantly higher than (14.75±12.33)% in EGCG-treated group ( P<0.05). Three days after scratch, the relative scratch area in the TGF-β1-induced group was (47.33±12.22)%, which was significantly lower than (92.67±4.04)% in the EGCG-treated group ( P<0.05). Immunofluorescence assay showed that α-SMA fluorescence was significantly enhanced in the TGF-β1-induced group in comparison with the blank control group, which was reduced to blank control group level in EGCG-treated group.Western blot analysis showed that there were significant differences in the relative expression levels of p-Smad2/3, PI3K and p-Akt protein among the various groups ( F=58.820, 121.153, 69.289; all at P<0.001). The relative expressions of p-Smad2/3, PI3K and p-Akt in the TGF-β1-induced group were significantly higher than those in the blank control group, 10 μmol/L and 50 μmol/L EGCG-treated groups (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:EGCG can suppress TGF-β1-induced HTFs activation through Smad and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways.
