Objective To explore the current condition of psychological problems of patients in cardiology clinic. Methods A total of 347 patients in the cardiology clinic of Prof. HU Da-yi were screened by self-rating depression scale(SDS),Self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),Hamilton rating scale for depression(HRSD)and Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA). Results The rates of patients with somatic disease only or with psychological disorder only were 52.4%and 12.7%, the rate of somatic disease accompanied with psychological disorder was 27.7%. For the patients with psychological problems, there were 31 cases with depression(8.9%),62 cases with anxiety(17.9%),and 28 cases(8.1%) suffering from mixed depression and anxiety the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease,functional disease or digestive disease was always used by doctors for the patients with psychological problems only,as they always did not accept the diagnosis of psychological disorder. Conclusions It is very common that patients in cardiology clinic department suffered from psychological problems. The patients with psychological disorder only were easily misdiagnosed as somatic disease especially cardiovascular disease.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Tangning Tongluo tablets in the treatment of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy （DR）. MethodsFourteen research centers participated in this study， which spanned a time interval from September 2021 to May 2023. A total of 240 patients with nonproliferative DR were included and randomly assigned into an observation group （120 cases） and a control group （120 cases）. The observation group was treated with Tangning Tongluo tablets， and the control group with calcium dobesilate capsules. Both groups were treated for 24 consecutive weeks. The vision， DR progression rate， retinal microhemangioma， hemorrhage area， exudation area， glycosylated hemoglobin （HbA1c） level， and TCM syndrome score were assessed before and after treatment， and the safety was observed. ResultsThe vision changed in both groups after treatment （P<0.05）， and the observation group showed higher best corrected visual acuity （BCVA） than the control group （P<0.05）. The DR progression was slow with similar rates in the two groups. The fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area did not change significantly after treatment in both groups， while the observation group outperformed the control group in reducing the fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area. There was no significant difference in the number of microhemangiomas between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the number of microhemangiomas decreased in both the observation group （Z=-1.437， P<0.05） and the control group （Z=-2.238， P<0.05）， and it showed no significant difference between the two groups. As the treatment time prolonged， the number of microhemangiomas gradually decreased in both groups. There was no significant difference in the HbA1c level between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the decline in the HbA1c level showed no significant difference between the two groups. The TCM syndrome score did not have a statistically significant difference between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， neither the TCM syndrome score nor the response rate had significant difference between the two groups. With the extension of the treatment time， both groups showed amelioration of TCM syndrome compared with the baseline. ConclusionTangning Tongluo tablets are safe and effective in the treatment of nonproliferative DR， being capable of improving vision and reducing hemorrhage and exudation in the fundus.
