OBJECTIVE To know about the perception and current status of drug risk management among pharmacists in Chinese medical institutions， providing insights and recommendations for enhancing the drug risk management system in medical institutions. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted across 28 provinces， cities， and autonomous regions； stratified radom sampling was employed to study the population of medical workers and pharmaceutical professionals in medical institutions nationwide. The survey included information on the survey population， the current status of drug risk management implementation in medical institutions， the cognition， definition and process of drug risk management related concepts， and the content and mode of drug risk management work in medical institutions. Finally， suggestions were collected from various medical institutions on the system construction of drug risk management. Descriptive statistical analysis was adopted to summarize the obtained data. RESULTS A total of 446 questionnaires were collected in this survey， including 420 valid questionnaires and 26 invalid questionnaires. The questionnaire collection rate was 100%，and the effective rate was 94.17%. 51.19% of the respondents No.2020YFC2009001）。 based their understanding of drug risk management on Management Measures for Adverse Drug Reaction Reports and Monitoring， while 87.38% recognized the need for drug risk management throughout the drug use process. 63.33% of the participants stated that their medical institutions had dedicated positions related to drug risk management， with the highest proportion （72.17%） was in third-grade class A medical institutions. 66.43% reported implementing risk management across all drug use stages. Suggestions for the development of drug risk management systems in medical institutions by the research participants focused on enhancing guiding documents， clarifying concepts， establishing information-sharing mechanisms. CONCLUSIONS The overall awareness of drug risk management in China’s medical institutions is high， with practices in place across various stages in multiple forms. However， there remains a need to strengthen institutional documents， management regulations， system development， and information-sharing mechanisms to improve collaborative governance， improve drug management levels， and ensure patient safety.

Hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） with biliary duct tumor thrombus （BDTT） is currently not common in clinical practice and is easily misdiagnosed， and previously， it was often considered an advanced stage of the disease with a poor prognosis， making its treatment challenging. However， in-depth studies in recent years have gradually deepened our understanding of this disease， leading to significant changes in diagnostic and treatment concepts. Currently， comprehensive treatment， mainly surgery， is used for treatment， but there is still controversy over the selection of clinical treatment strategies. This article provides a detailed discussion on surgical methods and prognosis， in order to provide a reference for clinical treatment options.

To summarize Professor GAO Shuzhong's clinical experience in treating idiopathic tinnitus with a combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica. It is believed that idiopathic tinnitus is mostly caused by weak lungs and spleen， kidney essence deficiency， liver constraint transforming into fire， and binding constraint of heart qi. Treatment advocates the combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica in clinical practice. Acupuncture treatment mainly focus on the method of opening the orifices by syndrome identification in combination with Ermen （TE 21）， Tinggong （SI 19）， Tinghui （GB 2）， Shenmai （BL 62） to regulate qi and blood， and supporting with Baihui （GV 20）， Yintang （EX-HN 3）， Taichong （LR 3）， and Yanglingquan （GB 34） to soothe the liver， resolve constraint， and calm the mind. Oral administration of Chinese medicinal prescription usually includes modified Yiqi Congming Decoction （益气聪明汤） and Tongqi Powder （通气散）， and the external administration of Chinese medicinal prescription can apply self-prescribed Wenqing Powder （温清散） to navel moxibustion.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the improvement effects and potential mechanism of ulinastatin （UTI） on cisplatin （CP）-induced myocardial injury. METHODS Rabbits were used as study subjects and randomly divided into blank group （normal saline 2 mL/d， for consecutive 7 d）， CP group （150 mg/m2， on the 1st and 4th day）， UTI low-dose/high-dose group （UTIL/UTIH group， UTL 25 000 or 50 000 IU/kg， once a day， for consecutive 7 d）， c-Jun N-terminal kinase （JNK） inhibitor group （JNKi group， SP600125 15 mg/kg， on the 1st and 4th day+CP 150 mg/m2， on the 1st and 4th day+normal saline 2 mL/d， on the other 5 days）. Except for the blank group， rabbits in the other groups were injected with relevant medicine and/or normal saline via a marginal ear vein on one side. The serum level of cardiac troponin Ⅰ （cTnⅠ） in rabbits on the 1st and 8th days of the detection experiment， as well as the levels of superoxide dismutase （SOD）， glutathione （GSH） and malondialdehyde （MDA） in myocardial tissue on the 8th day of the experiment， were all measured in each group. The pathological changes and myocardial cell apoptosis in myocardial tissue were observed， and the protein expressions of B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， Bcl-2 associated X protein （Bax）， JNK， phosphorylated JNK （P-JNK）， mitochondrial fission factor （Mff）， and dynamin-related protein 1 （Drp1） in myocardial tissue were all determined. RESULTS Compared with the blank group， the CP group showed significant myocardial injury. The cell apoptotic rate， the levels of cTnⅠ in serum and MDA in myocardial tissue， as well as protein expressions of Bax， JNK， p-JNK， Mff， and Drp1， were all significantly increased or up-regulated， SOD level and protein expression of Bcl-2 significantly reduced or down+regulated（P＜0.05）. Compared with the CP group， the myocardial injury in rabbits from each drug treatment group showed improvement. The cell apoptosis index， the levels of cTnⅠ in serum and MDA in myocardial tissue， as well as protein expressions of Bax， JNK， p-JNK， Mff （except for UTIL group）， and Drp1， were all significantly reduced or down-regulated， while SOD， GSH level and protein expression of Bcl-2 significantly increased or up-regulated （P＜0.05）； moreover， the improvement in some indicators was significantly better in the UTIH group and the JNKi group compared to the UTIL group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS UTI may ameliorate CP-induced myocardial injury， the potential mechanism of which may be associated with antagonizing oxidative stress and inhibiting the JNK/Mff signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo clarify the application value of nutritional scoring in patients with sepsis and explore the impact of the modified Nutritional Risk in Critically Ill （mNUTRIC） score on the in-hospital fatality of sepsis patients in the emergency intensive care unit （EICU）. MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data and laboratory examination results of 436 sepsis patients treated in the EICU of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2021 to May 2024. The patients were divided into survival group （298 cases） and death group （138 cases） according to whether they died or not during hospital treatment， and then compared the two groups’ data. Logistic multi-factor regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for in-hospital death and the ROC curve to evaluate the predictive value of each risk factor for the prognosis of sepsis patients. ResultsThe death group exhibited higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health EvaluationⅡ（APACHE Ⅱ） score， Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 （NRS 2002） score， mNUTRIC score， Sequential Organ Failure Assessment （SOFA） score， Padua Prediction Score for Venous Thromboembolism， the proportions of chronic kidney failure and pneumonia patients， C-reactive protein （CRP） level， lactate concentration and neutrophil count， but lower prognostic nutritional index， cholinesterase level， cholinesterase-albumin ratio and lymphocyte count than the survival group， with statistical significance （all P<0.05）. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the mNUTRIC score ［OR=1.254， 95%CI （1.109，1.417）］， CRP ［OR=1.004， 95%CI （1，1.007）］， and pneumonia ［OR=1.82， 95%CI （1.017， 3.257）］ were independent risk factors for in-hospital death in sepsis patients. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve （AUC） of the mNUTRIC score for predicting in-hospital death in sepsis patients was 0.683 ［95%CI （0.623，0.742）］， with a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 49.3%. The AUC for CRP and pneumonia were 0.602 ［95%CI （0.533， 0.671）］， and 0.582 ［95%CI （0.516，0.647）］. ConclusionThe mNUTRIC score is an independent predictive indicator for in-hospital death in sepsis patients in the EICU.

ObjectiveTo investigate how Xiaoyao Shukun decoction （XYSKD） regulates the formation and release of neutrophil extracellular traps （NETs） via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） signaling pathway， thereby reducing inflammation， inhibiting the excessive proliferation of fibroblasts in pelvic adhesion tissue， decreasing adhesion and fibrosis， and repairing the tissue damage in sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease （SPID）. MethodsA total of 84 Wistar rats were randomly allocated into seven groups： blank， model， XYSKD （8 mg·kg^-1）， mTOR agonist （10 mg·kg^-1）， mTOR agonist + XYSKD （10 mg·kg^-1+8 mg·kg^-1）， mTOR inhibitor （2 mg·kg^-1）， and mTOR inhibitor + XYSKD （2 mg·kg^-1+8 mg·kg^-1）. The rat model of SPID was constructed by starvation， fatigue， and ascending Escherichia coli infection. After 14 days of drug intervention， the ultrastructure of fibroblasts in the pelvic adhesion tissue was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The general morphology of the uterus， fallopian tube， and ovary was observed by laparotomy. The levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-17 （IL-17）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in the peritoneal flushing fluid were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The expression of myeloperoxidase （MPO） and citrullinated histone 3 （H3） in the fallopian tube was detected by immunofluorescence. Western blot and Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） were employed to determine the relative protein and mRNA levels， respectively， of neutrophil elastase （NE）， intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （CD54）， α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA）， H3， PI3K， and Akt. ResultsCompared with the blank group， the model group presented a large number of collagen fibers in bundles， numerous cytoplasmic folds of fibroblasts， reduced or absent mitochondrial cristae， and disordered and expanded endoplasmic reticulum. By laparotomy， extensive pelvic congestion， connective tissue hyperplasia， thickening and hardening of the tubal end near the uterus， and tubal and ovarian adhesion or cyst were observed in the model group. In addition， the model group showed raised levels of IL-1β， IL-17， and TNF-α in the peritoneal flushing fluid （P<0.01）， increased average fluorescence intensities of MPO and H3 （P<0.01）， and up-regulated protein and mRNA levels of NE， H3， CD54， PI3K， and Akt （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the mTOR agonist group showed increased fibroblasts and cytoplasmic folds， absence of mitochondrial cristae， endoplasmic reticulum dilation， and evident collagen fiber hyperplasia. Pelvic adhesions were observed to cause aggravated damage to the uterine， fallopian tube， and ovarian tissues. The levels of IL-1β， IL-17， and TNF-α in the peritoneal lavage fluid elevated （P<0.01） and the average fluorescence intensities of MPO and H3 enhanced （P<0.01） in the mTOR agonist group. In contrast， the XYSKD group and the mTOR inhibitor group showcased decreased fibroblasts and collagen fibers， alleviated mitochondrial crista loss and endoplasmic reticulum dilation， improved morphology and appearance of the uterine， fallopian tube， and ovarian tissues， lowered levels of IL-1β， IL-17， and TNF-α in the peritoneal lavage fluid （P<0.01）， decreased average fluorescence intensities of MPO and H3 （P<0.01）， and down-regulated protein and mRNA levels of NE， H3， CD54， PI3K， and Akt （P<0.05）. Compared with the mTOR agonist group， the mTOR agonist + XYSKD group showed alleviated pathological changes in the pelvic tissue， declined levels of IL-1β， IL-17， and TNF-α （P<0.01）， decreased average fluorescence intensities of MPO and H3 （P<0.01）， and down-regulated protein levels of NE， H3， CD54， α-SMA， p-PI3K/PI3K， and p-Akt/Akt （P<0.01） and mRNA levels of NE， H3， CD54， α-SMA， PI3K， and Akt （P<0.01）. Compared with the mTOR inhibitor group， the mTOR inhibitor + XYSKD group demonstrated reduced pathological severity of the pelvic tissue， reduced levels of IL-1β， IL-17， and TNF-α （P<0.01）， decreased average fluorescence intensities of MPO and H3 （P<0.01）， and down-regulated protein and mRNA levels of NE and CD54 （P<0.05）. ConclusionXYSKD can inhibit the excessive formation and release of NETs via PI3K/Akt/mTOR to ameliorate the inflammatory environment and reduce fibrosis and adhesion of the pelvic tissue， thereby playing a role in the treatment of SPID. It may exert the effects by lowering the levels of IL-1β， IL-17， and TNF-α and down-regulating the expression of NE， H3， CD54， α-SMA， PI3K， and Akt in the pelvic adhesion tissue.

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of remimazolam and propofol in general anesthesia induction and maintenance for elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy. METHODS A total of 86 elderly lung cancer patients who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy at Chongqing University Three Gorges Hospital from February to July 2024 were selected and divided into the propofol group and the remimazolam group according to the randomized numerical table method， with 43 cases in each group. During anesthesia induction， patients in the propofol group and the remimazolam group were intravenously administered 2 mg/kg of Propofol medium- and long-chain fat emulsion injection or 0.25 mg/kg of Remimazolam tosilate for injection， respectively； during anesthesia maintenance， the two groups received intravenous infusion of 6-10 mg/（kg·h） of Propofol medium- and long- chain fat emulsion injection or 1-3 mg/（kg·h） of Remimazolam tosilate for injection， respectively. The anesthesia effects， anesthesia-related indicators， intraoperative opioid and muscle relaxant dosages， Ramsay sedation score， numerical rating scale （NRS） score， and hemodynamic parameters were compared between the two groups， and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions was recorded. RESULTS A total of 41 patients in the propofol group and 43 patients in the remimazolam group completed the trial. The proportion of patients with grade Ⅰ anesthesia effect in the remimazolam group was significantly higher than that in the propofol group， while the proportion of patients with grade Ⅱ anesthesia effect was significantly lower than that in the propofol group （P＜0.05）. In this group， the disappearance time of eyelash reflex， the time taken for the bispectral index to drop to 60， and the Ramsay sedation scores （2 and 6 hours after operation） were all significantly prolonged or increased， while the recovery time， NRS scores （2 and 6 hours after operation）， and the incidence of intraoperative hypotension were all significantly shortened or reduced； moreover， the improvements of the above sedation/NRS scores exhibited a time-dependent pattern within 2 to 24 hours after operation （P＜0.05）. Compared with before anesthesia induction （T0）， the heart rate [except at 2 min after medication （T1）， 60 min after anesthesia （T4）， and at the end of surgery （T5） in the remimazolam group] and mean arterial pressure [except at T1 in the remimazolam group] of patients in both groups significantly decreased at T1， 5 min after medication （T2）， at the start of surgery （T3）， T4， and T5 （P＜0.05）. Meanwhile， regional cerebral oxygen saturation significantly increased in both groups. Furthermore， the heart rate and mean arterial pressure of patients in the remimazolam group were significantly higher than those in the propofol group at T1， T2 and T4 （P＜0.05）. No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of postanesthesia care unit stay time， dosage of opioids and muscle relaxants， regional cerebral oxygen saturation， or peripheral oxygen saturation at various time points （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Compared to propofol， remimazolam demonstrates superior anesthesia effects when used for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy. It not only provides more stable intraoperative hemodynamics and shortens the postoperative recovery time but also effectively reduces the incidence of intraoperative hypotension.

The mitochondrial unfolded protein response(UPRmt)represents a crucial intracellular stress response mechanism that plays a fundamental role in maintaining mitochondrial and cellular homeostasis. Growing evidence suggests that dysregulation of UPRmt contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of various systemic disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, as well as age-related pathologies. Emerging research has particularly highlighted the involvement of UPRmt in ocular diseases, including cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. This comprehensive review examines the physiological functions of UPRmt and its regulatory mechanisms in age-related eye diseases. The roles of key UPRmt downstream effector molecules in ocular cell populations such as lens epithelial cells, retinal pigment epithelial cells, and retinal ganglion cells are systematically analyzed. Importantly, the dual regulatory nature of UPRmt in ocular pathophysiology is discussed, that is, its moderate activation promotes mitochondrial homeostasis, mitigates oxidative stress, and suppresses inflammatory responses, its chronic or excessive activation triggers apoptotic pathways, induces metabolic dysfunction, and ultimately accelerates disease progression. By elucidating these mechanisms, our review provides novel insights into ocular disease pathogenesis and proposes potential therapeutic strategies targeting UPRmt modulation for the prevention and treatment of age-related eye disorders.

OBJECTIVE To explore comprehensive management and potential issues associated with long-term prescriptions medications of psychiatry， in order to provide a reference for the comprehensive management of long-term prescriptions of psychiatry in psychiatric hospitals and other medical institutions’ pharmacies. METHODS Starting from the applicable principles for long-term prescriptions of psychiatry， this study introduced the standardized assessment and precautions before issuing long-term prescriptions， the formulation and adjustment of the drug list， as well as the rational management of the long-term prescriptions. It also analyzed potential issues that may arise in the comprehensive management of long-term prescription medications and proposed corresponding countermeasures and suggestions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS Prior to initiating long-term prescriptions， a standardized assessment should be conducted on patients from the aspects of their psychiatric condition and long-term potential risk factors， pharmacological treatment plans and other non-pharmacological therapies， physical illnesses. Additionally， healthcare providers should fulfill their obligation to inform patients or their family members. The comprehensive management of long-term prescription medications should be jointly established and improved by multiple departments， and the formulation of drug catalogs should avoid including drugs with potential social harm or medication risks while complying with policy requirements. Furthermore， measures such as adding special identifiers to long-term prescriptions， providing patients with reminders about （No.YGLX202537） prescription expiration， or offering online consultations can also effectively enhance the rationality of medication use under long-term prescriptions. Currently， the implementation of long-term prescriptions in psychiatry remains challenged by inconsistencies in prescription duration， incomplete coverage of diagnostic categories， poor patient adherence， and the risk of deviation in clinical assessments. In this regard， measures such as collaborating with multiple departments to strengthen long-term prescription information management， providing matching pharmaceutical services， ensuring the quality and rationality of long-term prescription implementation， and using modern methods to screen high-risk patients can be taken to improve patient medication compliance and safety.

ObjectiveThe antitumor activity of sesquiterpenoid M36 isolated from Myrrha against human hepatoma HepG2 cells was investigated in this study. MethodHepG2 cells were treated with M36 at different concentrations （0， 2， 4， 6， 8， 10 μmol·L^-1）. Firstly， the effects of M36 on the proliferation of human hepatoma HepG2 cells were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium （MTT）， colony formation assay， and EdU proliferation assay. Hoechst staining， flow cytometry analysis， and Western blot were used to explore the effect of M36 on the apoptosis of human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Acridine orange staining and western blotting were used to examine the effect of M36 on autophagy in HepG2 cells. Finally， Western blot was used to detect protein expression of cancer-related signaling pathways. ResultCompared with the blank group， M36 treatment significantly inhibited the proliferation of human hepatoma HepG2 cells （P<0.01）， and the half inhibitory concentration （IC₅₀） value of M36 for 48 h was 5.03 μmol·L^-1， in a dose- and time-dependent manner. M36 was also able to induce apoptosis and autophagy in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. After treatment with 8 μmol·L^-1 M36 for 48 hours， the apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells was （42.03±9.65）% （P<0.01）. Compared with the blank group， HepG2 cells treated with 4 and 8 μmol·L^-1 M36 for 48 h had a significant increase in cleaved poly ADP-ribose polymerase （cleaved-PARP） protein levels （P<0.01）. Acridine orange staining showed that autophagy was significantly activated in HepG2 cells treated with 4 and 8 μmol·L^-1 M36 for 48 h compared with the blank group （P<0.01）， which was further verified by the up-regulation of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 Ⅱ （LC3 Ⅱ）. Western blot results showed that compared with the blank group， the levels of phosphorylated extracellular regulated protein kinase （p-ERK）， phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （p-p38 MAPK）， phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase （p-JNK）， and its downstream nuclear transcription factors c-Jun and p-c-Jun protein were significantly increased in M36 group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of MAPK signaling pathway. ConclusionThe sesquiterpenoid M36 isolated from Myrrha inhibits the proliferation of human hepatoma HepG2 cells and promotes apoptosis and autophagy， which may be related to the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway.
