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.

Aim To investigate the effect of histamine H, receptor (HjR) on the immune responses in astrocytes induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the regulatory mechanism of its signaling pathway. Methods LPS was used to establish an in vitro astrocyte inflammation model. Rat primary astrocytes were divided into the control group, LPS group, LPS + Hj R agonist group (2-pyridylethlamine, Pyri), and HjR agonist group. Astrocytes were treated with Pyri 100 p,mol • L~ for 1 h, then stimulated with LPS at 100 p,g • L~ for 24 h. Cell viability was measured using the CCK-8 assay. The expression of GFAP and HjR was detected by immunofluorescence. Glial morphological changes were observed under a microscope. The levels of proinflammatory mediators (TNF-a and IL-6) were detected by ELISA. The protein expressions of p-Akt, Akt, p-NF-KB p65, and NF-KB p65 were detected by Western blot. Results Compared with the control group, more activated astrocytes with fewer cell processes and branches were observed in the LPS group. Besides, LPS enhanced the GFAP expression level, reduced the H,R expression level and stimulated the production of TNF-a and IL-6 from astrocytes. Pre treatment with Pyri for 1 h ameliorated the glial morphological changes stimulated by LPS, inhibited LPS-induced upregulation of GFAP level and the inflammatory factors secretion. In addition, LPS stimulated astrocytes showed a higher phosphorylation of Akt and NF-KB p65, which was also ameliorated by Pyri. Conclusions H, R agonist can inhibit LPS-induced astrocyte activation and inflammatory factor secretion, and the Akt/NF-KB signaling pathway may be an important pathway for the involvement of H,R in immune regulation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the number of positive preoperative serological tumor markers on the surgical approach and prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:This is a retrospective case-series study. Data from 548 patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma after radical resection from October 2010 to April 2019 were retrospectively collected in 10 hospitals of China. There were 277 males and 271 females with an age of (57.8±10.2)years(range:23 to 84 years). Four hundred and twenty-six patients(77.7%) had at least one positive preoperative serum tumor marker. The data collection included the results of 4 preoperative serological tumor markers,other preoperative indicators(5 prodromal symptoms, 6 medical history,8 preoperative serological indicators,5 preoperative imaging indicators,and 14 preoperative pathological examination indicators),baseline data (gender and age),surgical methods,and prognostic follow-up data. Four preoperative results of serologic tumor marker and surgical procedure were converted into categorical variables. The number of positive preoperative serum tumor markers was used as the treatment variable,the surgical method was used as the mediating variable,and the survival time was used as the outcome variable. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to screen for other preoperative indicators which were independent factors that influenced the surgical procedure and the prognosis of patients as covariates to analyze the mediating effect.Results:Of the 548 patients included in the study, 176 patients (32.1%) underwent partial hepatectomy,151 patients(27.5%) underwent hemihepatectomy, and 221 patients(40.3%) underwent partial hepatectomy or hemihepatectomy combined with other treatments. The results of the univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the number of positive serum tumor markers,intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,portal vein invasion,pathological differentiation,pathological type,vascular invasion,T stage,N stage and maximum tumor diameter were independent factors influencing the surgical procedure(all P<0.05). Intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,pathological differentiation and T stage were independent prognostic factors for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(all P<0.05). Intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,differentiation and T stage were included as covariates in the mediation effect model. The results showed that the number of positive serum tumor markers before surgery had a negative predictive effect on the survival time of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ( β=-0.092, P=0.039),and had a positive predictive effect on the surgical method ( β=0.244, P<0.01). The number of positive serum tumor markers had a negative predictive effect on the survival time of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ( β=-0.151, P=0.002). Direct and indirect effects accounted for 71.3% and 28.7% of total effects,respectively. Conclusions:The higher the positive number of preoperative tumor markers,the worse the prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The number of positive cells not only directly affects the prognosis of patients,but also indirectly affects the prognosis of patients by affecting the surgical method.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of HEMO-FISS-QoL(HF-QoL) questionnaire (HF-QoL-C) in the Chinese population with hemorrhoids.Methods:From November 2021 to November 2022, a self-constructed general information questionnaire, HF-QoL-C, and the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36), Goligher classification, and Giordano severity of hemorrhoid symptom questionnaire (GSQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 760 hemorrhoid patients in the anorectal department of six hospitals. The data was analyzed for reliability and validity using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 26.0 software.Results:The Cronbach's α coefficient of HF-QoL-C and its dimension ranged from 0.831 to 0.960, and the split coefficient was 0.832-0.915. Four common factors were extracted through principal component exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable structural validity( χ2/ df=8.152, RSMEA=0.097, CFI=0.881, IFI=0.881, NFI=0.867). HF-QoL-C was correlated with SF36 and GSQ( r=-0.694, 0.501, both P<0.01). There were differences in the total score and dimensional scores of HF-QoL-C between surgical and drug treated patients, different grades of Goligher classification for hemorrhoidal disease, and different ranges of hemorrhoid prolapse (all P<0.001). No ceiling effect was found in the total score and the scores of each dimension(0.3%-2.0%). There was a floor effect in both psychological function and sexual activity dimensions (16.7%, 35.1%). Conclusion:HF-QoL-C has good reliability and validity, which can be used to measure the quality of life of Chinese hemorrhoid patients.

Objective To investigate the expression of Nanog and its regulatory relationship with MMP-2/MMP-9 proteins in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).Methods We detected Nanog and MMP-2/MMP-9 protein expressions in 127 ESCC tissues and 82 adjacent normal tissues using immunohistochemistry and explored their correlations with the clinicopathological parameters and prognosis of the patients.GEO database was utilized to analyze the pathways enriched with the stemness-related molecules including Nanog,and TIMER online tool was used to analyze the correlations among TβR1,MMP-2,and MMP-9 in esophageal cancer.Results Nanog and MMP-2/MMP-9 proteins were significantly upregulated in ESCC tissues and positively intercorrelated.Their expression levels were closely correlated with infiltration depth and lymph node metastasis of ESCC but not with age,gender,or tumor differentiation.The patients with high expressions of Nanog and MMP-2/MMP-9 had significantly shorter survival time.Bioinformatics analysis showed enrichment of stemness-associated molecules in the TGF-β signaling pathway,and the expressions of MMP-2/MMP-9 and TβR1 were positively correlated.In cultured ESCC cells,Nanog knockdown significantly decreased the expression of TβR1,p-Smad2/3,MMP-2,and MMP-9 and strongly inhibited cell migration.Conclusion The high expressions of Nanog,MMP-2,and MMP-9,which are positively correlated,are closely related with invasion depth,lymph node metastasis,and prognosis of ESCC.Nanog regulates the expressions of MMP-2/MMP-9 proteins through the TGF-β signaling pathway,and its high expression promotes migration of ESCC cells.

AIM:To investigate the mechanism of chronic stress-induced myocardial injury in atherosclerotic(AS)mice.METHODS:Eight-week-old SPF-grade male ApoE-/-mice and C57BL/6J mice used in this study.The mice received dietary intervention for 10 weeks followed by pathological examination to test the successful AS modeling.After AS establishment,the mice were exposed to chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)for 6 weeks and then divided into five groups:control,CUMS,AS-regular diet(AS-r)+CUMS,AS-high-fat diet(AS-h),and AS-h+CUMS.During CUMS,open-field test and sucrose preference test were performed on mice in all groups.Blood lipids were characterized using an automatic biochemical analyzer.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)and oil red O staining were performed to evaluate pathological changes in the aortic root.Cardiac function was assessed using echocardiography.The serum concentration of myocardial injury markers and ATP content was detected by ELISA.Transmission electron microscopy was employed to observe the ul-trastructure of myocardial mitochondria.Myocardial mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate was determined using the Oxy-graph-2k high-resolution respiratory energy metabolism analyzer.Western blot was conducted to quantify the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax),and cleaved caspase-3.RESULTS:compared with the Control group,the total distance traveled,the number of entries into the central area,and the sucrose preference rate were significantly decreased in all CUMS groups(P<0.05).All AS groups exhibited varying levels of lipid deposition and endo-thelial damage in the aortic root,along with a significant reduction in cardiac function(P<0.05)and varying degrees of myocardial injury(P<0.05).In the AS-h+CUMS and AS-r+CUMS groups,myocardial mitochondrial structure was signifi-cantly disrupted.ATP content was significantly reduced(P<0.05),and the rates of oxygen consumption associated with mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I,mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I+II,and the maximum respiratory capacity of the electron transport system were all significantly decreased(P<0.05).Moreover,the protein levels of Bax and cleaved caspase-3 were significantly increased(P<0.05),while that of Bcl-2 protein was significantly decreased(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Chronic stress triggers mitochondrial non-steady-state load by disrupting myocardial structure and energy metabolism in AS mice,promoting myocardial cell apoptosis and myocardial injury.
