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.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） compound Chaiqin Xiaoyong Decoction （柴芩消痈饮， CXD） combined with Jinhuang Ointment （金黄膏， JO） in treating the nodular stage of acne mastitis of liver meridian heat accumulation type. MethodsA randomized， double-blind， placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted. A total of 108 patients with liver meridian heat accumulation type acne mastitis in the nodular stage were randomly assigned to a treatment group and a control group， with 54 patients in each group. Both groups received topical application of JO once daily at a thickness of 3~5 mm for 8 hours， along with standard nursing care. On this basis， the treatment group received oral CXD granules， while the control group received placebo granules， administered twice daily， 3 sachets per dose， for 14 consecutive days. Clinical efficacy， TCM symptom scores， nodule size， visual analogue scale （VAS） pain scores， white blood cell （WBC） count， C-reactive protein （CRP） level， and systemic immune-inflammation index （SII） were compared. At the end of treatment， efficacy and safety indicators were evaluated. A 6-month follow-up was conducted to compare the proportion of patients undergoing surgical treatment. ResultsThe total clinical efficacy rate in the treatment group was 90.38% （47/52）， significantly higher than 32.00% （16/50） in the control group （P＜0.01）. The treatment group also showed significantly lower TCM symptom scores， VAS scores， nodule size， WBC count， CRP level， and SII （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. During follow-up， the surgical intervention rate in the treatment group was 5.77% （3/52）， lower than 14.00% （7/50） in the control group， with a statistically significant difference （P＜0.01）. No significant abnormalities were observed in safety indicators before and after treatment in either group. ConclusionCXD effectively reduces nodule size and alleviates symptoms such as redness and pain in patients with acne mastitis of liver meridian heat accumulation type， improves TCM symptom scores， enhances overall clinical efficacy， and demonstrates good safety.

Histone acetylation and methylation can affect chromatin conformation and regulate a variety of biological activities.Abnormal histone acetylation and methylation modifications are related to the occurrence and development of a variety of oral diseases.Histone acetylation and methylation increase or decrease in an orderly manner to regulate the development of teeth.Fluoride ions can destroy the balance between histone acetylation and methylation,which may be related to the occurrence of dental fluorosis.In addition,histone acetylation and methylation are involved in the regula-tion of oral inflammatory diseases.In the inflammatory microenvironment,the expression of histone acetyltransferase GCN5 decreases,and the expression of Dickkopf 1(DKK1)decreases,activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and ulti-mately inhibiting the osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells.Enhancer of zeste homolog 2(EZH2)and H3K27me3 levels were decreased in inflamed dental pulp tissues and cells.EZH2 inhibition inhibited the expres-sion of interleukin(IL)-1b,IL-6 and IL-8 in human dental pulp cells under inflammatory stimulation.Histone acetyla-tion/methylation modifications can interact with multiple signaling pathways to promote the occurrence and development of oral tumors and are related to the high invasiveness of salivary gland tumors.Small molecule drugs targeting histone acetylation and methylation-related enzymes can regulate the level of histone methylation/acetylation and have shown po-tential in the treatment of oral and maxillofacial diseases.For example,the histone deacetylase inhibitor vorinostat can inhibit the secretion of inflammation-related cytokines;it also promotes the maturation of odontoblasts and the formation of dentin-related matrix,demonstrating its potential in pulp preservation.Understanding the role of histone acetylation/methylation modifications in the occurrence and development of oral diseases will help promote research on epigenetic modifications in oral diseases and provide new perspectives for disease diagnosis and treatment.

Precise orchestration of cell fate determination underlies the success of scaffold-based skeletal regeneration.Despite extensive studies on mineralized parenchymal tissue rebuilding,regenerating and maintaining undifferentiated mesenchyme within calvarial bone remain very challenging with limited advances yet.Current knowledge has evidenced the indispensability of rebuilding suture mesenchymal stem cell niches to avoid severe brain or even systematic damage.But to date,the absence of promising therapeutic biomaterials/scaffolds remains.The reason lies in the shortage of fundamental knowledge and methodological evidence to understand the cellular fate regulations of scaffolds.To address these issues,in this study,we systematically investigated the cellular fate determinations and transcriptomic mechanisms by distinct types of commonly used calvarial scaffolds.Our data elucidated the natural processes without scaffold transplantation and demonstrated how different scaffolds altered in vivo cellular responses.A feasible scaffold,polylactic acid electrospinning membrane(PLA),was next identified to precisely control mesenchymal ingrowth and self-renewal to rebuild non-osteogenic suture-like tissue at the defect center,meanwhile supporting proper osteointegration with defect bony edges.Especially,transcriptome analysis and cellular mechanisms underlying the well-orchestrated cell fate determination of PLA were deciphered.This study for the first time cellularly decoded the fate regulations of scaffolds in suture-bony composite defect healing,offering clinicians potential choices for regenerating such complicated injuries.

Objective:To explore the optimal pulse oxygen saturation (SpO 2) range during hospitalization for patients with sepsis. Methods:A case-control study design was employed. Demographic information, vital signs, comorbidities, laboratory parameters, critical illness scores, clinical treatment information, and clinical outcomes of sepsis patients were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Ⅳ (MIMIC-Ⅳ). A generalized additive model (GAM) combined with a Loess smoothing function was employed to analyze and visualize the nonlinear relationship between SpO 2 levels during hospitalization and in-hospital all-cause mortality. The optimal range of SpO 2 was determined, and Logistic regression model along with Kaplan-Meier curve were utilized to validate the association between the determined range of SpO 2 and in-hospital all-cause mortality. Results:A total of 5?937 patients met the inclusion criteria, among whom 1?191 (20.1%) died during hospitalization. GAM analysis revealed a nonlinear and U-shaped relationship between SpO 2 levels and in-hospital all-cause mortality among sepsis patients during hospitalization. Multivariable Logistic regression analysis further confirmed that patients with SpO 2 levels between 0.96 and 0.98 during hospitalization had a decreased mortality compared to those with SpO 2 < 0.96 [hypoxia group; odds ratio ( OR) = 2.659, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 2.190-3.229, P < 0.001] and SpO 2 > 0.98 (hyperoxia group; OR = 1.594, 95% CI was 1.337-1.900, P < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that patients with SpO 2 between 0.96 and 0.98 during hospitalization had a higher probability of survival than those patient with SpO 2 < 0.96 and SpO 2 > 0.98 (Log-Rank test: χ2 = 113.400, P < 0.001). Sensitivity analyses demonstrated that, with the exception of subgroups with smaller sample sizes, across the strata of age, gender, body mass index (BMI), admission type, race, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, respiratory rate, body temperature, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, chronic liver disease, diabetes mellitus, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), simplified acute physiology score Ⅱ (SAPSⅡ), systemic inflammatory response syndrome score (SIRS), and Glasgow coma score (GCS), the mortality of patients with SpO 2 between 0.96 and 0.98 was significantly lower than those of patients with SpO 2 < 0.96 and SpO 2 > 0.98. Conclusions:During hospitalization, the level of SpO 2 among sepsis patients exhibits a U-shaped relationship with in-hospital all-cause mortality, indicating that heightened and diminished oxygen levels are both associated with increased mortality risk. The optimal SpO 2 range is determined to be between 0.96 and 0.98.

Objective:To standardize the management of auditory hallucination symptoms in inpatients with mental illness and develop an expert consensus on the management of auditory hallucinations in hospitalized psychiatric patients.Methods:From March 2023 to July 2023, the Mental Health Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association focused on the key issues in the management of auditory hallucinations symptoms in inpatients with mental illness, based on clinical practice, using literature analysis combined with the work experience of mental health experts, and formed the first draft of the expert consensus on the management of auditory hallucinations in inpatients with mental illness (hereinafter referred to as the consensus). Through 3 rounds of expert consultation and 3 rounds of expert demonstration meeting, the draft was adjusted, revised, and improved.Results:37 experts were included in the Delphi expert consultation, 1 male and 36 females with 39-67(51.48 ± 6.61) years old. The positive coefficients of experts in 3 rounds of Delphi expert consultations were all 100%, and the degrees of expert authority were 0.924, 0.938 and 0.949, respectively. The average importance value of each item was higher than 4.00, the variation coefficient of each item was less than 0.25. The Kendall harmony coefficient of the experts were 0.179, 0.195 and 0.198, respectively (all P<0.05). There were 15, 12, 12 experts in the first, seeond, third rounds of expert demonstration meeting. Finally, a consensus was reached on the recommendation of 4 parts, included auditory hallucination assessment, management format, symptom management implementation, and precautions. Conclusions:The consensus covers all parts of the management of auditory hallucination symptoms in hospitalized patients with mental disorders, which is practical and scientific. It is helpful to guide mental health professionals to standardize the management of auditory hallucination symptoms, improve the quality of nursing and ensure the safety of patients.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of prone position ventilation(PPV)in improving hypoxemia in patients with severe brain damage.Methods A retrospective research method was conducted,140 patients with severe brain damage who were admitted to the department of critical care medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine from August 2020 to August 2021 were selected as subject objected.According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,20 patients with oxygenation index≤200 mmHg(1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa)who were treated with PPV were statistically analyzed.The patients'blood gas analysis related indicators[including arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),fractional of inspired oxygen(FiO2),oxygenation index,arterial oxygen saturation(SaO2),arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2),pH value],ventilator-related parameters[including peak inspiratory pressure(PIP),positive end-expiratory pressure(PEEP),tidal volume(VT),lung dynamic compliance(Cdyn),etc.],and mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR)were compared before PPV,12 hours after PPV,and 12 hours after reverting to supine position.At the same time,the related complications of patients during PPV were recorded.Results There were 15 males and 5 females,the mean age of the patients was(46.10±17.22)years old,the average PPV time was(22.20±5.94)hours.Compared with before PPV,patients showed significant increases in PaO2,oxygenation index,SaO2,VT,and Cdyn at 12 hours after PPV and 12 hours after recovery from supine position[PaO2(mmHg):98.35±21.85,98.45±17.90 vs.72.15±10.14,oxygenation index(mmHg):198.82±40.51,202.27±46.39 vs.133.20±33.95,SaO2:0.97±0.02,0.97±0.01 vs.0.94±0.03,VT(mL):558.42±111.23,580.29±119.44 vs.484.82±123.77,Cdyn(mL/cmH2O):26.11±5.42,27.90±5.80 vs.24.15±6.13,all P<0.05];Compared with 12 hours after PPV,the Cdyn of the patient still showed a significant increase after 12 hours of recovery from supine position(P<0.05).There were no statistical differences in the FiO2,PaCO2,pH value,PIP,PEEP,HR,and MAP of patients at various time points before and after PPV(all P>0.05).Five patients developed redness and swelling at the skin compression site mainly on the face after PPV,which gradually improved after returning to a supine position.During this period,there was no occurrence of catheter detachment,malignant arrhythmia,or significant hemodynamic instability.Conclusion PPV has a certain clinical effect on improving hypoxemia in patients with severe brain damage.

Tumor metastasis depends on the dynamic balance of the actomyosin cytoskeleton. As a key component of actomyosin filaments, non-muscle myosin-IIA disassembly contributes to tumor cell spreading and migration. However, its regulatory mechanism in tumor migration and invasion is poorly understood. Here, we found that oncoprotein hepatitis B X-interacting protein (HBXIP) blocked the myosin-IIA assemble state promoting breast cancer cell migration. Mechanistically, mass spectrometry analysis, co-immunoprecipitation assay and GST-pull down assay proved that HBXIP directly interacted with the assembly-competent domain (ACD) of non-muscle heavy chain myosin-IIA (NMHC-IIA). The interaction was enhanced by NMHC-IIA S1916 phosphorylation via HBXIP-recruited protein kinase PKCβII. Moreover, HBXIP induced the transcription of PRKCB, encoding PKCβII, by coactivating Sp1, and triggered PKCβII kinase activity. Interestingly, RNA sequencing and mouse metastasis model indicated that the anti-hyperlipidemic drug bezafibrate (BZF) suppressed breast cancer metastasis via inhibiting PKCβII-mediated NMHC-IIA phosphorylation in vitro and in vivo. We reveal a novel mechanism by which HBXIP promotes myosin-IIA disassembly via interacting and phosphorylating NMHC-IIA, and BZF can serve as an effective anti-metastatic drug in breast cancer.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of systemic immune inflammation index (SII) for the risk of hospital death in critically ill patients.Methods:The basic information and clinical data of critically ill patients were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care database-Ⅳ (MIMIC-IV) database, including demographic data, vital signs, blood routine, Logistic organ dysfunction score (Lods), Oxford acute severity of illness score (Oasis), simplified acute physiology score (Saps-Ⅱ), acute physiology score Ⅲ (APS-Ⅲ), sequential organ failure score (SOFA) and outcome. The main outcome was hospital death, and the secondary outcomes were length of hospital stay, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), invasive ventilation and 1-year mortality. Patients were divided into two groups according to in-hospital death, and the differences between the groups were compared. According to the SII tripartite for inter-group comparison, the patients were further divided into three groups for comparison, and Logistic regression model was used to analyze the odd ratio ( OR) of the three groups. Results:A total of 32 450 critically ill patients were included in the study, of which 3765 died in hospital, with a mortality rate of 11.6%. ① Compared with the survival group, the SII in the death group were significantly higher ( P < 0.05). ② The mortality for the SII tripartite grouping (<817; 817~2 151; >2 151) were 8.4%, 10.2% and 16.3%, respectively, and the differences between groups were statistically significant. ③ Further, Logistic regression model analysis showed that the risk of death increased gradually with the increase of groups (the first group was the reference group, OR of the second group was 1.38, 95% CI 1.24-1.54, and OR of the third group was 2.03, 95% CI 1.83-2.24 ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:SII has a certain value in predicting hospital death in critically ill patients. It is easy to obtain and can be used for risk stratification of critically ill patients.

Objective:To integrate the best evidence of non-drug intervention of urinary incontinence in elderly women and to formulate practical recommendations.Methods:In this systematic review study, using “elderly woman”,“urinary incontinence”,“bladder training”,“pelvic floor muscle training”,“enuresis”,“leakage of urine” as the key words, the 6S evidence resource pyramid model was used to search in British Medical Journal best practice, Uptodate, World Health Organization, Guidelines International Network, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, Chinese Medical Association, Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network, Registered Nurses Association of Ontario, Cochrane Library, The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), New Zealand Guidelines Group, Polish Society of Gynecologists and Obstetricians, PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science, SinoMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, etc. The evidence retrieved included evidence-based knowledge base resources, clinical practice guidelines, expert consensus, systematic review, etc. Data were retrieved from January 1, 2017 to May 1, 2022, and collated from May 2, 2022 to May 25, 2022. Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of literature and extracted data using the AGREE Ⅱ and JBI evidence-based health care center assessment tools. The JBI evidence-based health care center′s evidence pre-rating system and evidence recommendation rating system were applied to rank the evidence; and under the guidance of the evidence structure of JBI, the strength of evidence recommendation was determined and the best evidence was extracted and summarized in combination with the study group discussion and expert opinion.Results:A total of 9 articles were retrieved, including 7 guidelines and 2 systematic reviews; and 6 guidelines were classified as Grade A and 1 as grade B; both 2 systematic reviews were rated as Grade A; 84% (27/32) of the items were evaluated as “Yes”. Evidence were summarized as 34 pieces of best evidence from 6 dimensions, including “overall recommendation, evaluation of type and degree of urinary incontinence, lifestyle change, behavioral therapy, prevention of precipitating factors, intervention in special population”; the flow chart of screening, evaluation, special symptoms, life style and behavior therapy was combed, and the practical suggestions were formed.Conclusions:The overall quality of the literature on non-drug intervention of urinary incontinence in elderly women is high, and the level of evidence is high. Early identification of urinary incontinence types and assessment of disease severity, lifestyle changes, avoidance of predisposing factors and behavioral therapy are the key to non-drug treatment of urinary incontinence in those patients.
