OBJECTIVE To enhance the training quality of anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists， address the resource limitations of a single training base， and promote homogenization of training quality. METHODS A multi-base joint training system for anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists in the Beijing area was established. A mixed research method was employed， collecting data through performance comparisons， questionnaires， and qualitative interviews to compare the differences between the joint training model （experimental group， n＝16） and traditional teaching model （the control group， n＝17）. RESULTS The established joint training system encompassed a unified joint training teaching plan， the formation of a joint training teaching team， the establishment of joint theoretical teaching courses， the implementation of joint case discussions and literature presentations， as well as strengthening the assessment throughout the joint training process. Compared to the control group [theoretical assessment of （76.44±3.66） points， case assessment of （84.31±3.27） points]， the experimental group students achieved higher scores in theoretical assessment （[ 79.85±4.64） points] and case assessment （[ 88.70±5.51） points] （P＜0.05）. Through questionnaires and qualitative interviews， the trainees in experimental group were highly satisfied with the joint training model in terms of theoretical learning， communication skills， and teaching interaction. CONCLUSIONS The multi-base collaborative training system for anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists can integrate advantageous resources and significantly enhance the training effectiveness of anticoagulation specialty clinical pharmacists， offering value for wider promotion.

Objective:To investigate the value of CT radiomic model based on analysis of primary gastric cancer and the adipose tissue outside the gastric wall beside cancer in differentiating stage T1-2 from stage T3-4 gastric cancer.Methods:This study was a case-control study. Totally 465 patients with gastric cancer treated in Affiliated People′s Hospital of Jiangsu University from December 2011 to December 2019 were retrospectively collected. According to postoperative pathology, they were divided into 2 groups, one with 150 cases of T1-2 tumors and another with 315 cases of T3-4 tumors. The cases were divided into a training set (326 cases) and a test set (139 cases) by stratified sampling method at 7∶3. There were 104 cases of T1-2 stage and 222 cases of T3-4 stage in the training set, 46 cases of T1-2 stage and 93 cases of T3-4 stage in the test set. The axial CT images in the venous phase during one week before surgery were selected to delineate the region of interest (ROI) at the primary lesion and the extramural gastric adipose tissue adjacent to the cancer areas. The radiomic features of the ROIs were extracted by Pyradiomics software. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator was used to screen features related to T stage to establish the radiomic models of primary gastric cancer and the adipose tissue outside the gastric wall beside cancer. Independent sample t test or χ2 test were used to compare the differences in clinical features between T1-2 and T3-4 patients in the training set, and the features with statistical significance were combined to establish a clinical model. Two radiomic signatures and clinical features were combined to construct a clinical-radiomics model and generate a nomogram. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the efficacy of each model in differentiating stage T1-2 from stage T3-4 gastric cancer. The calibration curve was used to evaluate the consistency between the T stage predicted by the nomogram and the actual T stage of gastric cancer. And the decision curve analysis was used to evaluate the clinical net benefit of treatment guided by the nomogram and by the clinical model. Results:There were significant differences in CT-T stage and CT-N stage between T1-2 and T3-4 patients in the training set ( χ2=10.59, 15.92, P=0.014, 0.001) and the clinical model was established. After screening and dimensionality reduction, the 5 features from primary gastric cancer and the 6 features from the adipose tissue outside the gastric wall beside cancer established the radiomic models respectively. In the training set and the test set, the AUC values of the primary gastric cancer radiomic model were 0.864 (95% CI 0.820-0.908) and 0.836 (95% CI 0.762-0.910), and the adipose tissue outside the gastric wall beside cancer radiomic model were 0.782 (95% CI 0.731-0.833) and 0.784 (95% CI 0.702-0.866). The AUC values of the clinical model were 0.761 (95% CI 0.705-0.817) and 0.758 (95% CI 0.671-0.845), and the nomogram were 0.876 (95% CI 0.835-0.917) and 0.851 (95% CI 0.781-0.921). The calibration curve reflected that there was a high consistency between the T stage predicted by the nomogram and the actual T stage in the training set ( χ2=1.70, P=0.989). And the decision curve showed that at the risk threshold 0.01-0.74, a higher clinical net benefit could be obtained by using a nomogram to guide treatment. Conclusions:The CT radiomics features of primary gastric cancer lesions and the adipose tissue outside the gastric wall beside cancer can effectively distinguish T1-2 from T3-4 gastric cancer, and the combination of CT radiomic features and clinical features can further improve the prediction accuracy.

Objective:To explore the relationship between stress coping styles and disability levels in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) .Methods:Totally 300 SCI patients who were hospitalized in the Spinal Surgery Department of three Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Anhui Province from March 2021 to February 2022 were selected by convenience sampling. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Spinal Cord Lesion-related Coping Strategies Questionnaire (SCL-CSQ), and the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0). Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between stress coping styles and disability levels, and multiple linear regression analysis was employed to identify factors influencing disability levels in these patients.Results:A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed, with 269 valid responses received, yielding an effective response rate of 89.67% (269/300). The total score of WHODAS 2.0 for the 269 patients was [91.00 (72.50, 104.00) ], with an item mean score of [2.53 (2.01, 2.89) ], and an average score rate of 59.86%, indicating a moderate to high level of disability. The average score rate for positive stress coping (facing, seeking support, rationalization) was 67.30%, while for negative stress coping (rejection and denial, fantasy, dependency and compromise), it was 64.48%. Negative stress coping was positively correlated with disability levels ( P<0.05), while positive stress coping was negatively correlated with disability levels ( P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that occupation, American Spinal Injury Association classification, facing, rejection and denial, and dependency and compromise were factors influencing disability levels in SCI patients ( P<0.05), explaining 50.4% of the total variance in disability levels. Conclusions:The disability level of SCI patients is moderate to high, and stress coping style is an influencing factor. Healthcare professionals should help patients avoid controllable stressors, cultivate effective stress coping strategies, prevent helplessness, to shorten the time window for disability development, and improve patients' quality of life.

Objective To explore the interactive effect of vitamin D and triglyceride(TG)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)on the time to achieve glycemic control in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 82 T2DM patients admitted to Henan Hongli Hospital from March 2021 to December 2023.Patients were categorized into two groups based on the time it took for their blood glucose to reach target levels during their hospitalization:the≤7 d group and the>7 d group.The baseline data,vitamin D levels,and TG/HDL-C ratios of both groups were compared.The relationship between vitamin D,TG/HDL-C levels,and the time it took for blood glucose to reach target levels was analyzed.Further-more,the TG/HDL-C levels of patients with varying vitamin D levels were compared,and the relative risk(RR)and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve were used to analyze the interactive effect and predictive value of vitamin D and TG/HDL-C levels on the time it took for hospitalized T2DM patients to achieve target blood glucose levels.Results The hospitalization duration of the group with a duration of>7 days was longer than that of the group with a duration of≤7 days.The fasting blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,and TG/HDL-c levels were higher in the former group,while the vitamin D level was lower.The proportion of patients with vitamin D deficiency and severe deficiency was higher in the former group compared to the latter group(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis revealed that vitamin D level was negatively correlated with the time to achieve glycemic control(r=-0.733,P<0.001),while TG/HDL-C level was positively correlated with the time to achieve glycemic control(r=0.830,P<0.001).After adjustment,logistic regression analysis indicated that vitamin D(95%CI:0.482～0.694)and TG/HDL-C level(95%CI:1.053～1.392)remained independent factors influencing the time to achieve glycemic control in hospitalized T2DM patients(P<0.05).Patients with insufficient,deficient,and severely defi-cient vitamin D had higher TG/HDL-C levels compared to those with sufficient vitamin D(P<0.05).The relative risk(RR)of patients with vitamin D deficiency and elevated TG/HDL-C coexisting resulting in a hospitalization duration of>7 days for T2DM patients was 15.867,indicating a synergistic effect.The area under the receiver operating characteristic(AUC)curve for predicting the time to achieve glycemic control in hospitalized T2DM patients using a combination of vitamin D and TG/HDL-C was 0.929,which was greater than that of vitamin D and TG/HDL-C alone(Z=3.849,3.526,P<0.05).Conclusion The vitamin D and TG/HDL-C levels in hospitalized T2DM patients are closely related to the time of reaching glycemic targets.The simultaneous exposure of both factors can affect the time of achieving glycemic targets,and the combined prediction of vitamin D and TG/HDL-C has good reference value for predicting the time of achieving glycemic targets in hospitalized T2DM patients.

Objective To systematically evaluate the effect of speech and language therapies and educational interventions on chil-dren with intellectual and developmental disabilities(IDD). Methods A systematic review was conducted by searching relevant literature in PubMed,PsycINFO,ERIC,Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases,ranging from January,2018 to May,2024. Results A total of eight English articles were included,from six countries including the United States,France,Italy,Nor-way,Poland and New Zealand,involving 610 children with IDD,from journals about speech language pathology,Down syndrome research and speech language hearing research.The publication time was mainly from 2018 to 2023.The age of the subjects was two to twelve years,and the main health conditions included intellectual dis-ability,autism and Down syndrome.The intervention methods included routine speech therapy(individualized therapy and group therapy),augmentative and alternative communication(device-assisted and sign language and picture cards),family-involved language training programs(parent training and family interaction),computer-as-sisted language learning(language learning software and telehealth),and play-based interventions(interactive games and structured games);15 to 150 minutes a time,one to ten times a week,for ten to 144 weeks.The out-comes were reflected in five aspects:increasing the vocabulary in speaking;improving the language comprehen-sion,symbol recognition and vocabulary comprehension;improving both expressive and receptive language skills;improving participation in game diversity and game participation levels,communication,social interaction and interaction skills;and improving overall language and non-verbal communication skills. Conclusion Combining a variety of methods,such as individualized therapy,family participation,technologic assistance and interactive games,speech and language therapies and education are effective on spoken language production,language comprehension,speech production,social interaction and communication skills for children with IDD.

Objective:To carry out evidence-based nursing practice of nutritional management of patients in the perioperative period of hepatobiliary surgery, formulate review indicators based on the best evidence, analyze obstacles, and provide reference for the application of evidence in clinical practice.Methods:According to the "6S" evidence model, the search was conducted on Cochrane Library, Joanna Briggs Institute evidence-based Health Care Center Database, National Guideline Clearinghouse, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, the British Journal of Medicine, PubMed, SinoMed, CNKI and Wanfang Database from the date of database construction to September 30, 2021. Through systematic search, evaluation and summary of evidence, the evidence-based nursing review plan for perioperative patients in hepatobiliary surgery was determined and the status review was conducted. Influencing factors were analyzed, and action strategies were formulated.Results:A total of 14 pieces of best evidence were included in this study, and 16 review indicators were formulated, of which the implementation rate of one indicator was 85%, and the implementation rate of the other indicators was 0-55%. The main obstacles include the following: the lack of relevant knowledge at the medical and nursing level; the resistance of medical staff caused by the increasing clinical work, the lack of systems, procedures, quantitative tools, and instruments and equipment; insufficient leadership, etc.Conclusions:There is a big gap between evidence-based nursing evidence and clinical practice. It should be combined with the judgment of clinical professionals and the results of the baseline review to analyze the obstacles and formulate action strategies to promote the effective transformation of evidence.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) on neuronal injury and its potential molecular mechanism.Methods:Cortical neurons were dissected from brain tissues of newborn SD rats and seeded on Poly-L-Lysine coated plates. These neurons were then divided into control group, myelin group and myelin+FGF10 group; after 4 h of culture, neurons in the myelin group were added with a certain content of myelin solution (final concentration: 10 μg/mL), while neurons in the myelin+FGF10 group were added with myelin and FGF10 solution (final concentration: 4.3 nmol/L). One week after culturing, the neuronal apoptosis was detected by TUNEL and flow cytometry; neuronal survival was evaluated by live/dead assay and CCK-8 assay; expressions of apoptosis-related proteins, microtubule related proteins and RAS homologous gene family member A (Rho A)/Rho a-related protein kinase (ROCK) signaling pathway related proteins were detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescent double-label staining.Results:Compared with the control group, the myelin group had significantly increased neuronal apoptosis rate by TUNEL, early neuronal apoptosis rate by flow cytometry, activated cysteine proteinase-3 (caspase-3) protein expression and neuronal mortality rate by live/dead assay, and significantly decreased Bcl-2/Bax value, neuronal survival rate by CCK-8 method, value of acetylated tubulin/Tyr-tubulin (Ace/Tyr-tubulin), Tau protein expression and Ace/Tyr-tubulin fluorescent intensity ratio, and statistically increased Rho A and ROCK protein expressions and Rho A fluorescent intensity ( P<0.05). Compared with the myelin group, the myelin+FGF10 group had significantly decreased neuronal apoptosis rate by TUNEL, early neuronal apoptosis rate by flow cytometry and activated caspase-3 protein expression, significantly increased Bcl-2/Bax value, neuronal survival rate by CCK-8 method, Ace/Tyr-tubulin value, Tau protein expression and Ace/Tyr-tubulin fluorescent intensity ratio, and statistically decreased Rho A and ROCK protein expressions and Rho A fluorescent intensity ( P<0.05). Conclusion:FGF10 maintains microtubule stability in neurons likely through inhibiting Rho A/ROCK axis to antagonize myelin-induced apoptosis and improve the neuronal survival.

Objective:To understand the incidence and causes of HIV/AIDS death patients in Taizhou from 1998 to 2022.Methods:The data were collected from the AIDS Integrated Prevention and Control Information System of China Information System for Diseases Control and Prevention and Taizhou Chronic Disease Information Management System. By the end of 2022, a total of 5 126 HIV/AIDS patients living in Taizhou for a long time were included, SAS 9.4 was used for Kruskal-Wallis test, χ2 test and trend analysis. Results:From 1998 to 2022, a total of 796 HIV/AIDS patients died, with a fatality rate of 15.53% (796/5 126), in whom 52.26% (416/796) died within one year after confirmation. The proportion of HIV/AIDS patients who died within one year decreased (trend χ2=5.60, P<0.001). For the constituent of death causes, there were 140 (17.59%) deaths of AIDS, 237 (29.77%) deaths of malignant tumors, 99 (12.44%) deaths of cardiovascular disease, 58 (7.29%) deaths caused by injuries, 160 (20.10%) deaths due to other causes, and 102 (12.81%) deaths due to unknown causes. The constituent ratio of deaths of malignant tumor, cardiovascular disease and other causes increased over time (trend χ2=1.92, P=0.028; trend χ2=2.81, P=0.003; trend χ2=2.07, P=0.020). There were differences in the distribution of death causes in HIV/AIDS cases in terms of age, occupation, marital status, ethnic group, educational level and mode of transmission (all P<0.05). The average age of the death cases due to cardiovascular disease was higher than other death cases, the cases who died from AIDS had shorter survival time and the lower initial CD4 +T cells after confirmation compared with all other death cases, and the time interval from confirmation to treatment in HIV/AIDS patients with unknown death causes was longer than those of all other death cases (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The constituent ratio of non-AIDS related deaths in HIV/AIDS patients in Taizhou was relatively high and showed an upward trend during 1998-2022. It is necessary to further strengthen the early screening, prevention and treatment of chronic non infectious diseases.
