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.

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.

Diarrhea caused by chemotherapy is called chemotherapy-related diarrhea (CRD). CRD can lead to reduced treatment effectiveness and compliance, affect the long-term outcome of tumor patients, and can be life-threatening in severe cases. In addition to conventional chemotherapy drugs, many molecularly targeted drugs are also associated with CRD, including small molecule epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors, anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies, phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors, small molecule inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, BCR-ABL1 and KIT inhibitors, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 target inhibitors, cyclin-dependent protein kinase inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates and other molecularly targeted drugs. The occurrence mechanism may be related to the intestinal mucosal injury or enteritis caused by molecularly targeted drugs. The clinical manifestations are increased stool frequency and/or loose imposition, and patients are often associated with excess hyperproduction and/or colic. The incidence of CRD varies with different drugs. Great importance should be attached to collecting medical history and differential diagnosis, actively intervening and conducting dynamic evaluation, strengthening patient education, and timely detecting and preventing the occurrence of intestinal toxicity.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of the triple therapy of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists and dexamethasone (referred to as “triple therapy”) in the prevention and treatment of acute nausea and vomiting caused by moderately and highly emetogenic chemotherapy drugs. METHODS Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI and Wanfang data, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about triple therapy or 5-HT3 receptor antagonist combined with dexamethasone (referred to as “dual therapy”) were collected during the inception to May 2023. After literature screening, data extraction and literature evaluation, network meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 16.0 software. RESULTS A total of 59 RCTs were included, involving 23 418 patients and 15 interventions. Results of network meta-analysis showed that fosaprepitant + palonosetron + dexamethasone (FPD) was most effective in terms of acute nausea and vomiting control rate, followed by fosaprepitant + granisetron + dexamethasone (FGD) and aprepitant + ramosetron + dexamethasone (AMD). In terms of acute nausea control rate, FPD was the most effective, followed by aprepitant + palonosetron + dexamethasone (APD) and FGD. In terms of acute vomiting control rate, FPD was the most effective, followed by FGD and APD. CONCLUSIONS Fosaprepitant + palonosetron + dexamethasone is better than other triple therapy or dual therapy in preventing acute nausea and vomiting caused by moderately and highly emetogenic chemotherapy drugs.

ObjectiveBased on the new method of animal model evaluation, this paper summarized and analyzed the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and Western medicine syndromes in existing autism spectrum disorder(ASD) animal models, and put forward suggestions for improvement. MethodRelevant literature on ASD animal models in China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) and PubMed were searched. According to the diagnostic standards of traditional Chinese and western medicine, core symptoms and accompanying symptoms were assigned values, and the clinical consistency of the models was comprehensively evaluated. ResultMost ASD model experimental animals were rodents, and the modeling methods included genetic and non-genetic. Domestic research focused on biochemical induction, while foreign research used genetic models more commonly. Among all models, valproic acid induction had the highest clinical consistency, followed by the neuroligin 4(NLGN4) and contactin associated protein like 2(CNTNAP2) gene knockout models. Most modeling methods could meet the characteristics of surface validity and structural validity, but did not clearly distinguish TCM syndromes. Currently, there is no model that has a high degree of clinical agreement between TCM and western medicine at the same time. ConclusionThe existing ASD animal models are mostly constructed under the guidance of western medicine, which lacks the characteristics of TCM syndromes. And the selection of evaluation indicators of western medicine is relatively single, without specifying the types of TCM syndromes. It is recommended to apply TCM intervention factors during the process of model preparation, to improve the evaluation indicators of traditional Chinese and western medicine, and to emphasize the study of on non-human primates, so as to lay a solid foundation for future experiments.

Activating humoral and cellular immunity in lymph nodes (LNs) of nanoparticle-based vaccines is critical to controlling tumors. However, how the physical properties of nanovaccine carriers orchestrate antigen capture, lymphatic delivery, antigen presentation and immune response in LNs is largely unclear. Here, we manufactured gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with the same size but different shapes (cages, rods, and stars), and loaded tumor antigen as nanovaccines to explore their disparate characters on above four areas. Results revealed that star-shaped AuNPs captured and retained more repetitive antigen epitopes. On lymphatic delivery, both rods and star-shaped nanovaccines mainly drain into the LN follicles region while cage-shaped showed stronger paracortex retention. A surprising finding is that the star-shaped nanovaccines elicited potent humoral immunity, which is mediated by CD4+ T helper cell and follicle B cell cooperation significantly preventing tumor growth in the prophylactic study. Interestingly, cage-shaped nanovaccines preferentially presented peptide-MHC I complexes to evoke robust CD8+ T cell immunity and showed the strongest therapeutic efficacy when combined with the PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor in established tumor study. These results highlight the importance of nanoparticle shape on antigen delivery and presentation for immune response in LNs, and our findings support the notion that different design strategies are required for prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines.

Objective:To screen the serum exosomal microRNAs differentially expressed in early pancreatic cancer patients and evaluate the diagnostic value of exosomal hsa-let-7f-5p.Methods:From January 2019 to January 2020, 19 patients with early pancreatic cancer (early pancreatic cancer group) and 16 patients with chronic mass-forming pancreatitis (pancreatitis group) were selected from Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine who underwent surgery and were confirmed by pathology. Serum samples of the two groups of patients were collected. At the same time, serum samples of 19 healthy volunteers were selected as the normal control group. The exoEasy Maxi Kit was used to isolate serum exosomes. The structural characteristics of exosomes were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The particle size of exosomes was observd by nanoparticle tracking analysis. CD 63 and CD 81, the specific protein marker on the surface of exosomes, were identified by western blotting. The total RNA of exosomes was extracted by the miRNeasy Serum/Plasma Kit, and a small RNA library was constructed after quality inspection. With reference to the small RNA database, the differentially expressed exosomal microRNAs in early pancreatic cancer group, pancreatitis group and normal control group were filtered out. The miRNA candidates were validated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and different expressions of them were analyzed. The role of target genes and metabolic pathways of candidate miRNAs in the occurrence and development of early pancreatic cancer were analyzed by gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopeda of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) enrichment pathway. Results:The isolated serum exosomes can be seen to have cup-like vesicle with the double lipid layer by TEM. The main peak of the particle size of target exosomes was about 150 nm. The expression of exosome specific protein markers CD 63 and CD 81 was positive. Comparing the expression of miRNAs among early pancreatic cancer group, pancreatitis group and normal control group, the specific tumor marker exosomal hsa-let-7f-5p was screened out in this study, and its expression in early pancreatic cancer group was significantly higher than that in pancreatitis group and normal control group (both P values <0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis (ROC) showed that the area under curve (AUC) of exosomal hsa-let-7f-5p to distinguish pancreatic cancer from pancreatitis was 0.843 (95% CI 0.640-1.000). The sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 81.82% respectively. The AUC for distinguishing pancreatic cancer from normal controls was 1.000 (95% CI 1.000-1.000), and both sensitivity and specificity were 100%. The diagnostic efficiency of exosomal hsa-let-7f-5p was equivalent to that of CA19-9 ( P>0.05). The GO analysis results showed that target genes of exosomal hsa-let-7f-5p were mainly involved in complement activation lectin pathway in biological processes, and the proteins expressed by target genes were mainly distributed in cilium, and molecules mostly functioned by combining with nitric-oxide synthase. The KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the target genes were closely related to MAPK signaling pathway. Conclusions:Serum exosomal hsa-let-7f-5p has the potential to be a diagnostic biomarker for early pancreatic cancer.
