Objective To conduct a health check-up intention analysis to understand residents' altitude to health eheck-up. Methods A total of 3600 residents living in Shanghai completed the selfdesigned questionnaire. Results About 35.2% participants received health check-up onee per year. In 36 to 60 or > 60 age group, the figure was increased up to 62.6% or 50. 4%, respectively. Public institution employees and those with medical insurance were found to have the highest rate of health checkup. Conclusion Our investigation results suggest that government leadership,health management model and contents, and personnel training should be improve.

OBJECTIVE To observe the curative effect of Jieminqufeng decoction to the rats with allergic rhinitis. METHODS Fourty Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups. There were Jieminqufeng decoction group (A),cetirizine group (B),model control group(C) and normal control group (D). The rats with allergic rhinitis were established with ovalbumin. The behavioral changes of the rats were observed. The histological and cellular morphological changes were studied with light microscope and transmission electron microscope. RESULTS The model control (C) group had typical symptoms of allergic rhinitis. By light microscope and transmission electron microscope,a lot of eosinophilic granulocytes were found in nasal mucosa. The mucosal cells were lost or destroyed. However,the histological and cellular morphological changes of nasal mucosa in Group A,B were similar to that in Group D. CONCLUSION The Jieminqufeng decoction is an effective drug to treatment of allergic rhinitis. It can decrease the aggregation and activation of eosinophilic granulocytes,lessen inflammatory reaction and block up the allergy.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the curative effect of Jieminqufeng decoction to the rats of allergic rhinitis and study the mechanism by which it treats allergic rhinitis. METHOD: Forty wistar rats were divided into 4 groups at random. There are Jieminqufeng decoction group, cetirizine group, model control group and normal control group. The rats of allergic rhinitis were established with ovalbumin. We surveyed the behavioral changes of rats, searched eosinophilic granulocytes in the nasal secretion, detected the contents of cAMP and cGMP in the blood plasma and nasal mucosa. RESULT: The model control group had typical symptoms of allergic rhinitis and the eosinophilic granulocytes could be found more frequently. The contents of cAMP and cAMP/cGMP rose in the blood plasma and nasal mucosa (P < 0.01). However, the changes of jieminqufeng decoction group were small. CONCLUSION The jieminqufeng decoction is an effective drug to allergic rhinitis. Its possible mechanism is that it changes the contents of cAMP and cGMP, lessens inflammatory reaction and blocks up the allergy.

ObjectiveTo predict the targets and signaling pathways of Si Junzitang and Tongxie Yaofang in treating ulcerative colitis （UC） following the concept of "same disease with different treatments" based on the network pharmacology and explore the underlying mechanisms. MethodThe differentially expressed genes （DEGs） of UC were extracted from GeoChip. The active components and corresponding potential targets of Si Junzitang and Tongxie Yaofang were collected from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform（TCMSP）. The regulatory networks of Si Junzitang and Tongxie Yaofang were constructed and the protein-protein interaction （PPI） network was plotted. The core genes were predicted， followed by enrichment analysis. The UC model was induced in mice by dextran sodium sulfate （DSS） solution. Mice were randomly divided into a normal group， a UC group， a Si Junzitang group， a Tongxie Yaofang group， and a mesalazine group. Drugs were administered continuously for 14 days. The disease activity index （DAI） was scored for mice in each group. The characteristic values of hemorheology were measured. The serum levels of interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tissue factor （TF）， and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α） in mice were detected. The relative mRNA expression levels of inhibitory kappa B kinase α （IKKα）， nuclear factor kappa B （NF-κB）， HIF-1α， and vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） were measured. ResultA total of 44 genes were obtained by network pharmacological analysis， including 17 common genes. HIF-1 pathway and hypoxia response were potential common targets of Si Junzitang and Tongxie Yaofang in the treatment of UC. The results showed that Si Junzitang and Tongxie Yaofang could significantly reduce DAI score， increase blood perfusion volume and blood cell movement speed， decrease the concentration of mobile red blood cells， reduce the levels of IL-6， TF， and HIF-1α， down-regulate the mRNA expression of IKKα， NF-κB， HIF-1α， and VEGF. ConclusionThe HIF-1 pathway and related targets may be the common targets of Si Junzitang and Tongxie Yaofang to exert different therapeutic effects on the same disease. Si Junzitang is potent in promoting Qi circulation to improve intestinal tissue hypoxia， and Tongxie Yaofang is effective in promoting blood circulation to facilitate intestinal mucosal microcirculation.

The awake prone position plays an important role in the treatment of hypoxemia and the improvement of respiratory distress symptoms in non-intubated patients. It is widely used in clinical practice because of its simple operation, safety, and economy. To enable clinical medical staff to scientifically and normatively implement prone position for awake patients without intubation, the committees of consensus formulation, guided by evidence-based methodology and Delphi method, conducted literature search, literature quality evaluation and evidence synthesis around seven topics, including indications and contraindications, evaluation, implementation, monitoring and safety management, termination time, complication prevention and health education of awake prone position. After two rounds of expert letter consultation, Expert consensus on implementation strategy of awake prone positioning for non-intubated patients in China (2023) was formulated, and provide guidance for clinical medical staff.
