OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of the specialized centralized procurement policy for insulin on daily cost and affordability of insulin, and provide data support for the enhancement of relevant policies. METHODS In this research, the insulin purchasing data were obtained from provincial centralized procurement platforms in provinces before and after the specialized centralized procurement of insulin (October-December 2021 and October-December 2022), and the cost variations of insulin before and after the centralized procurement were analyzed by the defined daily dose cost (DDDc) of various types of insulins. The changes in the affordability of various types of insulins before and after the specialized centralized procurement were evaluated, using the percentage of annual expenditure on various types of insulins relative to annual per capita disposable income (i.e. the proportion of annual expenditure) as an indicator. RESULTS After the specialized centralized procurement, DDDc of various types of insulins decreased by 20.7%-71.8%, with an average reduction of 45.7%. Moreover, the reduction in DDDc for third-generation insulin exceeded that for second-generation insulin. The reduction in the proportion of annual expenditure on insulin ranged from 24.3% to 73.4%, with an average decrease of 48.5%. Premixed insulin analogs experienced the greatest reduction (73.4%). Following the specialized centralized procurement, DDDc of insulin decreased in all provinces. Except for Guangxi (10.2%), the average proportion of annual expenditure on insulin in the remaining provinces dropped to below 10%. CONCLUSIONS The specialized centralized procurement policy for insulin has significantly reduced insulin costs and improved affordability, thereby alleviating the economic pressure on patients with diabetes. There are notable cost disparities among provinces and among insulin categories, which require attention.

Central retinal vein occlusion(CRVO)is a retinal vascular disorder that significantly impairs vision, with its underlying mechanisms involving complex interactions across multiple biological systems. This article provides a systematic review of the pathological mechanisms associated with CRVO, emphasizing critical factors such as endothelial dysfunction, arteriosclerosis, thrombophilia, inflammation, and oxidative stress. The pathological mechanisms of CRVO are characterized by arteriosclerosis, which obstructs venous return through a dual mechanism involving mechanical compression and endothelin-1-mediated contraction; endothelial dysfunction, which exacerbates disturbances in blood flow; genetic and acquired coagulation abnormalities that disrupt hemostatic balance and promote thrombosis; and the synergistic effects of inflammation and oxidative stress that activate cytokines, thereby aggravating ischemia and vascular leakage. Innovatively, this review explores emerging mechanisms such as miRNA-mediated vascular regulation via exosomes, gut microbiota-retina crosstalk through the “gut-eye axis,” and systemic metabolic interactions that link local retinal lesions to broader dysregulation of CRVO. These insights underscore the importance of integrated eye-system interventions and provide a theoretical foundation for advancing early biomarker discovery, multitarget therapeutics, and personalized treatment paradigms. By bridging localized pathology and systemic mechanisms, this work promotes a transformative shift toward an integrative medicine model in the diagnosis and management of CRVO.

Objective: To explore the changes of mechanosensitive channels Piezos (Piezo 1 and Piezo 2) in neurogenic bladder (NB) of young rats and their effects,so as to provide reference for clinical search of new therapeutic targets. Methods: A total of 30 female young SD rats were divided into 5 groups based on random number table method:sham operation group (sham),2-week nerve transection group (NB-2W),6-week nerve transection group (NB-6W),2-week nerve transection + Piezos inhibitor group (NB-P-2W) and 6-week nerve transection + Piezos inhibitor group (NB-P-6W),with 6 rats in each group.The NB models were constructed by transecting the L6 and S1 spinal nerves of young rats.The NB-2W and NB-6W groups were not intervened after modeling,while the NB-P-2W and NB-P-6W groups were intraperitoneally injected with Piezos inhibitor GsMTx4 (10 mg/kg) every 2 days after modeling.Bladder cystometry and ultrasound were performed after 2 and 6 weeks of transection.The expressions of Piezos and fibrosis-related indexes (Collagen Ⅰ and α-smooth muscle actin) were detected in bladder tissues. Results: The results of bladder cystometry showed that the basal bladder pressure in NB-2W group was significantly increased,while it was slightly decreased but was still higher in NB-6W group than in the sham group (P<0.05).Basal bladder pressure was lower in NB-P-2W group than in NB-2W group,but was higher than that in the sham group; basal bladder pressure was lower in NB-P-6W group than in NB-6W group,but higher than that in the sham group (P<0.05).Compared with the sham group,the NB-2W and NB-6W groups had firstly increased and then decreased maximum cystometric capacity (MCC) (P<0.05).Compared with NB-2W group,NB-P-2W group had lower bladder leakage point pressure (BLPP),but higher MCC and bladder compliance (BC) (P<0.05).Compared with NB-6W group,NB-P-6W group had significantly lower BLPP but higher MCC and BC (P<0.05).HE and MASSON staining and ultrasound results showed that,with the extension of nerve transection time,bladder fibrosis gradually worsened,the bladder wall became rough and thickened,calculi were visible inside,and hydronephrosis gradually appeared; the degree of fibrosis in NB-P-2W and NB-P-6W groups was less than that in NB-2W and NB-6W groups,and no hydronephrosis was observed in the upper urinary tract.In addition,Western blotting and immunohistochemical results showed that NB-2W and NB-6W groups had significantly higher relative expression levels of Piezos,Collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA than the sham group (P<0.01),while NB-P-2W and NB-P-6W groups had lower relative expression levels of Piezos,Collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA than NB-2W and NB-6W groups (P<0.01). Conclusion: The increased expressions of mechanosensitive channels Piezos in NB young rats may be involved in the progression of bladder fibrosis,but its mechanism needs further study.

OBJECTIVE To investigate and analyze the use of acetaminophen in primary medical institutions of Shaanxi province, and to provide evidence for promoting the standardized and rational use of acetaminophen. METHODS According to the method of cluster stratified random sampling, all prescriptions of acetaminophen issued by primary medical institutions in one district and one county (or two districts) were randomly selected from 10 provincial cities of Shaanxi province from 2020 to 2023; the existing clinical diagnoses were classified by using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code, and the drug information of collected prescriptions was analyzed descriptively. SPSS 25.0 software was used for single-factor analysis and Logistic regression analysis to find out the key factors affecting the duration of medication >10 d. RESULTS A total of 7 375 valid prescriptions for acetaminophen were collected in this study. The patients who used acetaminophen were mainly female (52.11%) and aged 19-64 (66.73%). Based on the ICD code, the disease categories most involved in the use of acetaminophen were musculoskeletal system, connective tissue diseases or symptoms and signs (43.48%); the top 3 clinical diagnoses were joint disease (25.59%), fracture (9.95%), and toothache (8.58%). Among the 7 175 prescriptions with clear drug usage and dosage, 3 366 were in line with the recommendation of acetaminophen instruction, and 5.63% of the prescriptions exceeded the maximum dose limit of acetaminophen 2.0 g/d. There were 4 051 prescriptions exceeding the conventional limit of treatment duration (7 d), and 1 336 prescriptions exceeding the limit of treatment duration (10 d). The main factors affecting the duration of drug treatment >10 d were the region and type of medical institutions, the gender and age of patients, and the phenomenon of the duration of drug treatment >10 d was common in the primary medical institutions from southern Shaanxi, township health centers, the elderly and female patients. CONCLUSIONS There are some unreasonable clinical applications of acetaminophen in primary medical institutions of Shaanxi province, which are mainly manifested in inappropriate usage and dosage, unsuitable clinical diagnosis and drug duration. The region, type of medical institution, age and gender of patients will affect the duration of this drug prescription.

【Objective】 This study endeavors to introduce the statistical process control (SPC) method to analyze the quality control index concerning red blood cells in additive solution with leukocytes reduced, with the aspiration to advance the effective utilization of blood quality control data, thereby providing empirical foundations for the continual enhancement of blood quality. 【Methods】 Between 2020 and 2022, test data pertaining to the quality control index of red blood cells in additive solution with leukocytes reduced were amassed from six blood stations in Chongqing area. Utilizing Minitab software, the SPC analysis was carried out, p-control charts were delineated, the non-conformance rates of each quality control index along with their 95% confidence intervals were computed, as well as the Process Capability Index (Z value). 【Results】 In accordance with the Whole Blood and Blood Components Quality Requirements, the appraisal of the quality control indexes for red blood cells in additive solution with leukocytes reduced manifested a conformity rate of 100% for appearance, end-of-storage hemolysis rate and sterility test. Nonetheless, the conformity rates for volume, hemoglobin, hematocrit and residual leukocytes did not attain 100%, albeit all were ≥75%. Through the employment of binomial distribution-based p-control charts, the controlled state of the production process was discerned. Although the overarching conformity rate satisfied the national standard stipulations, it was discerned that there were out-of-control points concerning volume, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and residual leukocytes across different institutions, exhibiting palpable trends. The non-conformance rates of all quality control indexes were less than 25%, yet at a 95% confidence level, the residual leukocyte counts from institutions B, C, E, and F did not adhere to the stipulations (exceeding 25%). By architecting the ability evaluation index Z value for count data process capability analysis, it was unveiled that the volume of institution E, the hematocrit of institutions B, C, and F, and the residual leukocytes Z values of all six blood collection and supply institutions were below 2, hinting at avenues for amelioration. 【Conclusion】 The SPC method anchored in binomial distribution exhibits substantial application merit in blood component quality management, facilitating real-time surveillance of blood collection, preparation, and storage procedures.
