Objective To observe the clinical effects of treating acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding(AUGIB) with freezing Zidi mixture lavage. Method 183 UGIB patients from the First Affiliated Hospital to Guanzhou University of TCM in August 2013 were randomly recruited into a control group with 91cases and a treatment group with 92 cases. The treatment group was treated with intragastric administration of freezing Zidi mixture, while the control group was treated with intragastric administration of cryohydrate and norepinephrine. The changes of clinical effects, blood pressure, hemoglobin, blood urea nitrogen, pulse and dark stool were observed and the bad emotions as anxiety, depression and fear were evaluated. Results ① On therapeutic effect, the total effective rate was 96.7% and 85.7% in the treatment group and the control group respectively, with statistical difference(χ2=2.943,P<0.05). ② On the time of symptom disappearance:the disappearing time of vomiting, dark stools and occult blood test in the treatment group was obviously shorter than the control group after the treatment(t=6.628、14.052、21.706,P<0.05 or 0.01). ③ On body symptom changes: after the treatment, the systolic pressure, heart rate, hemoglobin, and blood urea nitrogen [(114.3±12.1)mmHg,(78.6±11.4)/min,(98.1±10.5)g/L,(5.9±1.1)mmol/L] in the treatment group were all obviously improved than those [(106.3±11.2)mmHg, (88.7±12.1)/min,(88.2±11.7)g/L,(6.9±1.4)mmol/L] in the control group;body temperature returned to normal in both groups, and there was no statistical difference score was either in or between groups(P>0.05). ④ On changes of anxiety, depression and fear:the treatment group [the(42.5±9.4), (41.6±9.7), (26.3±5.4)for each]was obviously improved after the treatment than the control group[the score was(51.2±10.1),(50.4±11.5),(30.4±6.9)for each],P<0.05. Conclusion Freezing Zidi mixture lavage can obviously elevate systolic pressure, decrease heart rate, enhance hemoglobin, decrease blood urea nitrogen, relieve body stress reaction and other clinical symptoms. Its effects were better than intragastric administration of cryohydrate and norepinephrine in treating AUGIB.

Objective: To explore the relative risks of rotavirus diarrhea after exposure to different levels of atmospheric pressure in children in Guangzhou City, so as to provide reference for improving public awareness of high atmospheric pressure exposure. Methods: The study used the China Notifiable Communicable Diseases Network System and China Meteorological Science Data Sharing Service Network to collect meteorological data and data relating to daily cases of rotavirus diarrhea in children at Guangzhou Women and Children s Medical Center from 2012 to 2020. The association between rotavirus diarrhea and atmospheric pressure was analyzed using distributed lag non linear models (DLNM). The relative risks of different sex and age sub groups exposed to different atmospheric pressures were also evaluated. Results: A total of 18 587 cases of rotavirus diarrhea were reported from 2012 to 2020, among which 11 662 cases (62.7%) were boys, and 12 582 cases (67.7%) were children aged 6 to 24 months old, which represented the highest proportion. The results of the DLNM showed that the relative risk of rotavirus diarrhea was the highest on the day of exposure to extreme high atmospheric pressure ( RR =1.50, 95% CI =1.24-1.82, P <0.05) and the effect could last for 28 days. Risk of rotavirus diarrhea was low for exposure to low pressure within 2 weeks ( P <0.05). During extremely high atmospheric pressure weather, RR was higher in girls ( RR =3.31, 95% CI =1.46-7.49， P <0.05) than that in boys ( RR =1.98, 95% CI =0.96-4.07， P >0.05). Among different age sub groups, RR was the highest in children aged 24 to 60 months after exposure to the highest level of atmospheric pressure exposure ( RR =3.36, 95% CI =1.27-8.89, P <0.05). Conclusion In Guangzhou, exposure to high pressure increases the risk of rotavirus diarrhea in children. In the future, public awareness should be raised regarding the risk after exposure to high atmospheric pressure.

Objective To explore the application of limbs and fingers movement combined with moxibustion in patients with PICC catheterization. Methods A total of 346 PICC catheterized patients treated from August 2014 to July 2017 were randomly divided into control group (173 cases) and observation group (173 cases) according to random number table method. The control group was given local hot-wet compression at 3-4 cm of puncture point after 24 h of catheterization, and the observation group was given preventive moxibustion with the direction of the punctured vein at the same site in the control group, and then was given limbs and fingers movement. The levels of serum monocyte chemoattractant protein- 1 (MCP- 1), tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF- α) and interleukin- 8 (IL- 8), hemorheological parameters [rate of high and low shear whole blood viscosity (RBV), rate of plasma specific viscosity (RPV), hematocrit (HCT)] and the incidence rates of mechanical phlebitis and venous thrombosis were compared between the two groups after intervention. Results The levels of MCP-1, TNF-αand IL-8 were (53.03±7.86), (85.93±10.72), (54.65±9.23) ng/L in the observation group, (60.27± 8.45), (94.74±11.36), (63.08±10.07) ng/L in the control group, and there were significant differences (t=8.252, 7.419, 8.117, all P<0.05). The levels of high shear RBV, low shear RBV, RPV and HCT were (3.94 ± 0.85) mPa · s, (6.55 ± 1.22) mPa · s, (1.70 ± 0.54) mPa · s and (43.71 ± 4.82)％ respectively in the observation group, (4.18±0.74) mPa·s, (6.97±1.25) mPa·s, (1.92±0.59) mPa·s and (45.13±4.65)％in the control group, and there were significant differences (t=2.789-3.618, P<0.05). The incidence rates of venous thrombosis and phlebitis were 1.16％(2/173) and 5.78％(10/173) respectively in the observation group, 5.78％(10/173) and 13.29％(23/173) in the control group, there were significant differences (χ2=4.230, 5.661, P<0.05). Conclusions Limbs and fingers movement combined with moxibustion can effectively improve the blood flow status, and reduce the occurrence of mechanical phlebitis and venous thrombosis in patients with PICC catheterization.
