Objective To establish in vitro diagnostic(IVD)reagents closed-loop management scheme for the whole process and implement,and optimize the IVD management.Methods Based on the status quo of IVD management in Beijing Hospital,the closed-loop management scheme of the whole IVD process was designed,such as IVD application,IVD selection,IVD subscription,IVD purchase,IVD receipt,IVD inbound and outbound,and IVD use.Key indicators were selected to establish an evaluation framework.Management data,procurement data and testing data before(2020)and after(2023)implementation of the program were collected and counted by means of interviews and consulting relevant information systems,and then process management,quality management and cost management were evaluated.Results The management process was optimized,the IVD purchase time was shortened by about 60％on average,the IVD purchase did not need manual processing,the order was split in real time and sent to the corresponding supplier,and the IVD collection time was shortened by about 75％on average.IVD and test quality management were satisfactory,supplier qualification perfection reached 100％,full marks were obtained in the inter-room quality assessment,and no IVD-related adverse events were observed.The cost management was effective,and the IVD procurement cost was reduced by about 15％.IVD cost fine management models were established for four items,namely,human immunodeficiency virus antibody assay,hepatitis C antibody assay,treponemal antibody assay and hepatitis B surface antigen quantitative assay.The average value of IVD loss was 0.07％～1.21％,and the standard deviation was 0.07％～0.66％.Conclusion The IVD whole process closed-loop management scheme is feasible,which can improve the efficiency of IVD management,ensure the quality of IVD and detection,reduce the cost of IVD,and refine the cost management work.

The theory of "liver opens at the eyes" was first seen in Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon of Medicine， which is the ancient people's summary of the connection between the liver and the eyes. The theory of "liver opens at the eyes" suggests the characteristic of "co-damage and co-recover of liver and eyes". It has been found in clinical practice that liver diseases and eye diseases often occur together， and "liver and eyes co-recover" is an ideal choice. The key to achieving "liver and eyes co-recover" is to analyze its pharmacological material basis and mechanism. With the development of modern medicine， more and more evidence indicates that the liver and eyes have complex and close relationships in physiological and pathological aspects. In a pathological state， there is a phenomenon of "liver and eyes co-damage"， and after the intervention of traditional Chinese medicine， "liver and eyes co-recover" occurs. "Liver and eyes co-damage and co-recover" can be explained through the "co-material basis and co-action mechanism". On this basis， the research group tentatively proposed that the liver and eyes had "four common characteristics" （4CCs）， namely "co-damage， co-recover， co-material basis， and co-action mechanism" from the theoretical connotation of traditional Chinese medicine， clinical practice， and molecular biology. Additionally， the group also took the intervention of Prunella vulgaris， traditional Chinese medicine， for removing liver fire and improving eyesight on immune liver injury （ILI） and allergic conjunctivitis （AC） as examples to analyze 4CCs. This project aims to deeply analyze the scientific connotation of the theory of "liver opens at the eyes"， reveal the common characteristics and biological essence of liver and eyes， explore a new research paradigm of "liver and eyes co-recover"， and provide a reference for the study of common problems of multi-organ associated diseases.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of a Twin-block appliance on the condyles of patients with ClassⅡmalocclusion by conducting a systematic review and a Meta-analysis. METHODS: Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Chinese BioMedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and VIP Database were electronically searched. Randomized controlled trials, controlled clinical trials, and single-arm trials on condylar changes produced by a Twin-block appliance in patients with ClassⅡmalocclusion were included. Two reviewers independently extracted and assessed the risk of bias. Meta-analyses were conducted with Review Manager 5.3. RESULTS: Eight studies were included; among which, seven were of high quality. After treatment with a twin block appliance, condyles moved anteriorly. The anterior joint spaces decreased (P<0.000 01), whereas the posterior spaces increased (P<0.000 01). The superior spaces were not changed (P=0.11). Moreover, a significant difference was observed in the increase of the condylar space index (P<0.000 01). After treatment, the anteroposterior diameters of the condyles and condylar height increased (P=0.000 2 and P<0.000 01, respectively). By contrast, no significant changes were discovered in the medial external diameters of the condyles (P=0.42). CONCLUSIONS A Twin-block appliance can promote the growth of a condyle in the posterior and upper direction and move it forward in favor of the correction of Class Ⅱ malocclusion.

The status of clinical trials included 13(16.3%) in progress(not yet enrolled), 7(8.8%) in progress (enrollment completed), 15(18.8%) in progress (enrollment in progress), 44(55.0%) completed, and 1(1.3%) voluntarily terminated. There were 56 phase I-IV clinical trials, including 41(73.2%) parallel group trials, 14(25.0%) crossover design trials, and 1(1.8%) single-arm trial. A total of 65(81.3%) were chemicals, 7(8.8%) were biologics and 8(10.0%) were traditional Chinese medicine/natural drugs. A total of 15 indications were identified, which included allergic rhinitis, sedation, dry eye, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, etc. CONCLUSION The research and development of nasal sprays in China is still at an early stage, but it keeps up with the international and independent innovation ability is being strengthened, and more new clinical research directions and strategies of nasal sprays should be explored in the future to help the development of nasal sprays and meet the needs of more patients.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of SNHG5 regulating the proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells by targeting miR-421. Methods Real-time quantitative PCR test was performed to detect the expression levels of SNHG5 and miR-421 in 31 cases of GBM tissue samples and 32 cases of normal brain tissue samples. After increasing or decreasing SNHG5 expression in U87 cell lines by lentivirus or plasmid transfection, the changes of miR-421 expression were measured by real-time quantitative PCR, to explore the correlation between SNHG5 and miR-421 in GBM. The dual-luciferase reporter test was performed to explore the target interaction of SNHG5 and miR-421. The plasmids with low expression of SNHG5 and miR-421 were cotransfected into U87 cells for the rescue experiment. CCK-8 test, Transwell test, flow cytometry and tumor cell xenograft in nude mice were used to verify molecular mechanism of SNHG5 regulating the proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of GBM in vitro and vivo. Results The expression level of miR-421 was decreased in U87 cell line after SNHG5 upregulation. In addition, the expression level of miR-421 was increased in U87 cell line after SNHG5 downregulation (P < 0.05). The expression level of SNHG5 was correlated negatively with the expression of miR-421 in GBM and U87 cell line. The result of luciferase reporter tests indicated SNHG5 targetedly interacted with miR-421. Rescue experiment results showed that compared with si-SNHG5+miR-421-inhibitor group, the proliferation, invasion and anti-apoptosis ability of U87 cells were significantly inhibited in the si-SNHG5+control-inhibitor group, the expression levels of BAX and p21 were significantly higher, the expression levels of CyclinD1 and Bcl-2 were lower remarkably (P < 0.05). Conclusion SNHG5 promotes the proliferation, invasion and anti-apoptosis of GBM by targeting miR-421 and regulating the expression of CyclinD1, p21, BAX and Bcl-2. Downregulation of miR-421 is related to SNHG5 overexpression in GBM.
