OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of pharmaceutical quality control on the efficiency and outcomes of standardized medication therapy management （MTM） services for patients with coronary heart disease by using Economic， Clinical and Humanistic Outcomes （ECHO） model. METHODS This study collected case data of coronary heart disease patients who received MTM services during January-March 2023 （pre-quality control implementation group， n＝96） and June-August 2023 （post-quality control implementation group， n＝164）. Using propensity score matching analysis， 80 patients were selected from each group. The study subsequently compared the economic， clinical， and humanistic outcome indicators of pharmaceutical services between the two matched groups. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups after matching （P＞0.05）. Compared with pre-quality control implementation group， the daily treatment cost （16.26 yuan vs. 24.40 yuan， P＜0.001）， cost-effectiveness ratio [23.12 yuan/quality-adjusted life year （QALY） vs. 32.32 yuan/QALY， P＜0.001]， and the incidence of general adverse drug reactions （2.50% vs. 10.00%， P＝0.049） of post-quality control implementation group were decreased significantly； the utility value of the EuroQol Five-Dimensional Questionnaire （0.74± 0.06 vs. 0.71±0.07， P＝0.003）， the reduction in the number of medication related problems （1.0 vs. 0.5， P＜0.001）， the medication adherence score （[ 6.32±0.48） points vs. （6.10±0.37） points， P＝0.001]， and the satisfaction score （[ 92.56±1.52） points vs. （91.95±1.56） points， P＝0.013] all showed significant improvements. Neither group experienced serious adverse drug reactions. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of new adverse reactions between the two groups （1.25% vs. 3.75%， P＝0.310）. CONCLUSIONS Pharmaceutical quality control can improve the quality of pharmaceutical care， and the ECHO model can quantitatively evaluate the effect of MTM services， making pharmaceutical care better priced and more adaptable to social needs， thus being worthy of promotion.

With the deepening of China's medical reform, people's demand for health is growing, which promotes the construction of "new medicine" and puts forward higher requirements for the cultivation and education of medical students. Undergraduate medical education is a crucial period for the growth of medical students, and how to do a good job in undergraduate teaching under the background of "new medicine" is currently a research hotspot. The clinical teaching stage is an important period for medical students to fully understand clinical disciplines and cultivate their understanding of specialties. Therefore, we should explore new teaching methods and means to adapt to the needs of the new era. In the context of "new medicine", the medical-engineering fusion diagnosis and treatment technology has become an important trend in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of oncology. In order to adapt to this change, clinical teaching and teaching management in oncology also need new exploration and research. Taking the clinical teaching of oncology as an example, this article discusses how to cultivate medical students' thinking of medical-engineering fusion.

The medical-industrial fusion training model combines the knowledge and technology of medical and engineering disciplines in the training of oncology graduate students, which can help accurate diagnosis and treatment of tumors, promote cooperation and innovation in oncology research, as well as promote the cultivation and exchanges of composite and innovative medical talents in oncology, promote the innovation and development of oncology diagnostic and treatment technology, and improve the survival rate and quality of life of oncology patients. This paper discusses the application of medical-industrial fusion training model in the training of o ncology professionals, and explores the new teaching mode of medical-industrial fusion thinking in the cultivation of complex and innovative medical talents in oncology under the background of "new medical science".

OBJECTIVE To explore the safety， effectiveness， and cost-effectiveness of elderly patients with sarcopenia receiving Shenling baizhu powder combined with nutrition and exercise intervention， providing a reference for rational clinical drug use. METHODS A total of 237 elderly sarcopenia patients were randomly assigned to an observation group （118 cases） and a control group （119 cases）. Both groups of patients received nutrition and exercise intervention； the observation group added Shenling baizhu powder （6 g each time， three times daily） on this basis. The safety， effectiveness， and cost-effectiveness of the two plans were compared after 3 months. RESULTS Both groups of patients completed the follow-up. Before intervention， no significant difference was observed in skeletal muscle index （SMI）， grip strength， and 6-minute walk test （6MWT） speed between the two groups （P＞0.05）. After intervention， the grip strength of the patients in the observation group was significantly greater than that of the control group （25.05 kg vs. 23.18 kg， P＜0.01）； the treatment response rate of sarcopenia， SMI， and 6MWT speed were higher than those of the control group， butthe differences were not statistically significant （P＞0.05）. The adverse reaction/event rate of the patients in the observation group was lower than that of the control group （14.41% vs. 16.81%， P＝0.611）， but the difference was not statistically significant. Compared with the control group’s plan， the cost of the observation group’s plan was higher （981.25 yuan vs. 913.94 yuan）， and the effect was better （effectiveness rate： 0.618 6 vs. 0.563 0）， with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of 1 210.61 yuan. The results of the sensitivity analysis were consistent with the cost-effectiveness analysis results. CONCLUSION Elderly patients with sarcopenia who receive Shenling baizhu powder combined with nutrition and exercise intervention can significantly strengthen grip strength without increasing the incidence of adverse reactions/events. Compared with the control group plan， the observation group needs to spend an additional 1 210.61 yuan for each additional effective patient with sarcopenia.

Objective:To analyze the drug resistance characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae in the nasopharynx of hospitalized patients in North China from 2022 to 2023. Methods:From November 2022 to July 2023, nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from 100 inpatients in Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology, and Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated and cultured. At the same time, the clinical data of the patients were collected, including gender, age, department, clinical diagnosis of disease type, etc. The minimum inhibitory concentration of strains was detected by an automatic bacterial drug sensitivity system. The drug resistance genes, ST types, capsule serotypes and population structure of the strains were analyzed by whole genome sequencing and data analysis. Results:Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated from 55 nasopharyngeal swabs of 100 inpatients(55.00%). Among the 55 inpatients with Klebsiella pneumoniae in the nasopharynx, 70.91% (39/55) were male, with an age distribution concentrated between 61 and 80 years old (58.18%, 32/55), and 50.91% (28/55) were in intensive care units (ICU). The main underlying disease type was nervous system disease (49.09%, 27/55). The results of drug sensitivity showed that the non-susceptibility rates of 55 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae to cephalosporins, quinolones, aztreonam and nitrofurantoin were all more than 80.00%. Twenty-eight carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains (50.91%), 47 extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing strains (85.45%), and 48 multi-drug-resistant strains (87.27%) were detected. A total of 11 antibiotic resistance genes were detected, including carbapenems (carrying rate 76.36%) and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (carrying rate 96.36%). The 55 strains could be divided into 17 ST types, and the most common type was ST11 (25.45%). The 55 strains were divided into 18 capsular serotypes, among which K102 was the most prevalent (23.64%). OXA-1_ST307_K102 (21.82%) and KPC-2_ST5492_K125 (18.18%) were the dominant clones, distributed in the Department of Neurosurgery and ICU. The result of whole genome sequence analysis showed that there were four clusters with high homology among the 55 strains. The strains from the ICU formed two independent clusters, and strains from the Neurology ICU and Neurosurgery department formed one cluster respectively. Conclusion:The carrying rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae in the nasopharynx of inpatients is high, and the drug resistance of the strains is serious. There are many types of drug-resistant genes.

To study the carriage status of drug susceptibility, clonal complex groups, serotypes, surface proteins and virulence genes of Streptococcus agalactiae from respiratory specimen sources. A total of 35 strains of S.agalactiae meeting the criteria were collected from 3 hospitals in 2 locations, Tangshan and Jinan. The age span of the patients was 3 days-92 years, and the percentage of elderly patients≥60 years was 71.5%.The susceptibility to 9 antimicrobial drugs was measured and analyzed using the micro broth dilution method. The strains were 100.0% sensitive to penicillin, linezolid, vancomycin, and ceftriaxone; However, it exhibits high resistance rates to erythromycin, clindamycin and levofloxacin, at 97.1%, 85.7% and 82.9% respectively; and the resistance rates to tetracycline and chloramphenicol were 34.3% and 14.2%, respectively. Genome sequence determination and analysis showed that 16 resistance genes were detected in 35 strains, among which: macrolide and lincosamide resistance genes were mainly ermB, with a carrying rate of 74.2%; tetracycline resistance genes were mainly tetM, with a carrying rate of 25.7%; in addition, the mutation rates of the quinolone resistance determinants gyrA and parC were 88.5% and 85.7%, respectively. 35 strains belonged to 6 ST types and 4 clonal groups, with CC10/ST10 as the main one, accounting for 62.8%; they contained 4 serotypes of Ⅰb, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅴ, as well as 1 untyped strain, with serotype Ⅰb as the main one, accounting for 65.7%. The strains carried three pilus types, PI1+PI2a, PI2a and PI2b types, respectively, and detected five surface proteins, alpha, alp1, rib, srr, and r df_0594, and seven virulence factors, cba, cfb, cylE, fbsA, hylB, l mb, and pavA. Overall, S.agalactiae isolated from respiratory tract specimens is predominantly sourced from elderly patients, with CC10 strains being most prevalent. These strains harbor multiple drug-resistant and virulence genes, demonstrating elevated resistance rates to macrolides, lincosamides, and quinolones. This emphasizes the necessity for vigilant attention to the health threat posed by S. agalactiae from respiratory tract speciments of elderly patients.

Background and objective Isoliquiritigenin(ISL)is an important pharmacological constituent of Glycyrrhiza glabra,which possesses a range of physiological and pharmacological activities,as well as significant antitumor ac-tivity,and can be used as a potential drug for targeted cancer therapy.LINC01503 is an oncogene,which has been closely asso-ciated with the malignant biological processes of many cancers.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ISL on the proliferation,apoptosis,invasion and migration oflung squamous carcinoma cells by regulating LINC01503.Methods Plasma was collected from lung squamous carcinoma patients and healthy individuals treated at Tangshan People's Hospital from Janu-ary 2021 to December 2022.The expression of LINC01503 in lung squamous carcinoma plasma,tissues and cells was detected by real-time quantitative fluorescence polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).Lung squamous carcinoma cells were treated with different concentrations of ISL for 24 h,and LINC01503 expression was detected by qRT-PCR.The cells were treated in groups:si-NC group,si-LINC01503 group,DMSO(0.1％dimethyl sulfone)group,ISL group,pc DNA3.1(+)-NC group,pc DNA3.1(+)-LINC01503 group,ISL+pc DNA3.1(+)-NC group and ISL+pc DNA3.1(+)-LINC01503 groups.CCK-8 assay,clone formation assay,flow cytometry,Transwell assay and scratch assay were used to explore the effect of LINC01503 on the functional phenotype of lung squamous carcinoma cells.Results Fluorescence in situ hybridization results showed that the average fluorescence intensity of LINC01503 in tissue microarrays of lung squamous carcinoma patients was higher than that in paracancerous tissues(P＜0.05).The expression of LINC01503 in the plasma of patients with lung squamous carcinoma was higher than that in the plasma of healthy individuals(P＜0.05).Knockdown of LINC01503 inhibited the proliferation,invasion and migration of lung squamous carcinoma cells and promoted apoptosis(P＜0.05).ISL inhibited the proliferation,invasion,migration and promoted apoptosis of lung squamous carcinoma cells(P＜0.05).Overexpression of LINC01503 followed by intervention with ISL reversed the promotional effect of overexpression of LINC01503 on the proliferation,invasion and migration of lung squamous carcinoma cells as well as the inhibitory effect on apoptosis(P＜0.05).Conclusion LINC01503 was highly expressed in lung squamous carcinoma,and LINC01503 could promote the proliferation,invasion and migra-tion of lung squamous carcinoma cells and inhibit the apoptosis,ISL could inhibit the proliferation,invasion and migration of lung squamous carcinoma cells and promote apoptosis of lung squamous carcinoma cells by regulating the expression of LINC01503.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis for an infant with neonatal diabetes (NDM) and multiple malformations. METHODS: Genetic variants were detected by next generation sequencing (NGS). Suspected variant was verified by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: A de novo heterozygous variant, c.1454_1455del(p.K485Rfs), was detected in exon 5 of the GATA6 gene. The variant was undetected in his parents and unreported previously. Bioinformatic analysis predicted the variant to be pathogenic. CONCLUSION The heterozygous variant of c.1454_1455del(p.K485Rfs) of the GATA6 gene probably underlies the disease in this child. Genetic testing can facilitate diagnosis and genetic counseling for NDM.
