Objective Analysis of nitroglycerin combined with predictive nursing in the clinical application of coronary heart disease patients. Methods From January 2015 to December 2016, 200 patients with coronary heart disease were treated with angina pectoris. The patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group (100 cases). The control group was treated with routine nursing mode, and the patients in the observation group were treated with predictive nursing mode. The differences of hospitalization time and quality of life scores between the two groups were observed. The anxiety and depression of the two groups were observed before and after treatment, and the satisfaction of the two groups was observed. Results The scores of hospitalization and quality of life in observation group were better than those in control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between SAS score and SDS score before treatment, but SAS score and SDS score of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group (P<0.05). The satisfaction degree of the patients in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Predictive nursing has a good effect in the clinical nursing of patients with coronary heart disease and angina pectoris. It can effectively improve the patients' anxiety and depression, shorten the hospital stay and improve the quality of life. It is worth to be used in clinical practice.

Objective:To report the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of a patient with linear scleroderma en coup de sabre (LSCS), and review the relevant literature in order to provide the basis for early diagnosis and timely treatment of the disease.Methods:The clinical data and treatment process of a patient with LSCS admitted to Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University on September 22, 2022 were summarized, and the case reports or case series studies related to LSCS with epilepsy or Coats-like response at home and abroad were systematically analyzed. The gender, age, onset time, clinical manifestations, treatment and prognosis of this type of patients were summarized.Results:The patient is a 22 years old female with a history of scalp patchy alopecia and ipsilofrontal en coup de sabre for over 10 years and was diagnosed as Coasts disease due to decreased vision in the right eye 5 years ago, and now she is blind. This visit was due to "episodic loss of consciousness for more than 2 hours" with epileptic seizures and Coats-like response of the left eye. Treatment with antiepileptic drugs, glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants showed satisfactory results. The clinical data of all 20 patients with LSCS reported in domestic and foreign literature were analyzed. The age of onset was 11.00 (6.75, 20.50) years, with a male to female ratio of 1∶1. The imaging findings of patients with LSCS with epilepsy were mainly manifested as multiple brain calcifications, soft tissue atrophy and skull thinning on the focal side. The results of fundus examination and fundus fluorescein angiography in patients with LSCS with Coats-like response were mainly exudative inflammation and retinal detachment, including 1 case with cerebral cerebrovascular inflammation. In terms of treatment, most of the patients with LSCS with epilepsy were treated with antiepileptic drugs, glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressant, interleukin-6 inhibitor tozizumab, and the other 2 cases were treated with surgery. Patients with LSCS with Coats-like response were treated with intravitreal bevacizumab in combination with glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive therapy or retinal targeted photocoagulation or local laser therapy with triamcinolone. The above treatment can control the patient′s refractory epilepsy and improve the vision loss.Conclusions:The main manifestations of LSCS are en coup de sabre lesion with pigmentation on the forehead above the eyelid, accompanied by Coats-like response of the eye, epilepsy, and brain imaging abnormalities. The above clinical features may appear successively or simultaneously. In some patients, these symptoms may progress slowly, and can lead to blindness and refractory epilepsy severely. Glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressive therapy should be given as early as possible, and intravitreal bevacizumab therapy can improve visual loss of LSCS patients.

Objective:To understand the influencing factors of death of epidemic Japanese encephalitis (EJE) cases in Longnan City of Gansu Province.Methods:In the EJE Monitoring Information Report Management System of the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System, data on EJE cases with onset from 2014 to 2018 and current address in Longnan City were derived. An "Individual Questionnaire of Epidemic Japanese Encephalitis in Longnan City" was designed, retrospective study was conducted on enrolled cases, their information on demographic data, consultation, onset, clinical classification, and chronic underlying diseases were collected, characteristics of EJE cases and death-related factors were analyzed.Results:From 2014 to 2018, a total of 260 EJE cases were reported in Longnan City, and 259 cases completed the questionnaire. Among them, 70 cases (27.0%) were aged ≥60 years old, 67 cases (25.9%) were severe and extremely severe, and 55 cases (21.2%) had chronic underlying diseases. Among 259 EJE cases, 46 cases died, with a fatality rate of 17.8%. After multivariate unconditional logistic regression analysis, age ≥60 years old [odds ratio ( OR)=2.667, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 1.140-6.237], severe and extremely severe ( OR = 2.762, 61.820, 95% CI: 1.053-7.091, 5.149-742.239), and chronic underlying diseases ( OR = 2.489, 95% CI: 1.038-5.964) were risk factors for death in EJE cases. Conclusions:The influencing factors of death of EJE cases in Longnan City are age, clinical classification and chronic underlying diseases. Therefore, we should focus on patients over 60 years old, clinically classified as severe or extremely severe, and suffering from chronic underlying diseases, and strengthen the immunization of EJE vaccine for key populations.

OBJ ECTIVE To predict the quality marker (Q-Marker)of Forsythia suspensa . METHODS The fingerprints of 10 batches of F. suspensa were established by high performance liquid chromatography. The common peaks were confirmed. The candidate components of Q-Marker in F. suspensa were screened. The volatile oil of F. suspensa were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS),and the candidate components of Q-Marker in volatile oil were screened. The network pharmacology analysis was performed for the candidate components of Q-Marker. The network diagram of the “candidate components of F. suspensa Q-Marker-target-pathway”was constructed to predict the Q-marker of F. suspensa . RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS Twenty-one common peaks were obtained for 10 batches of F. suspensa ,and four components were identified as phillyrin,forsythoside A ,pinoresinol-4-O-β-D-glucoside and rutin. Seven candidate components were obtained by GC-MS analysis,such as β-pinene,α-pinene,terpinen-4-ol,limonene,γ-terpinene,α-phellandrene,β-myrcene. By network pharmacology analysis, 16 key targets and 17 pathways were obtained. It was preliminarily predicted that phillyrin , forsythoside A , pinoresinol-4-O-β-D-glucoside,rutin,terpinen-4-ol,α-phellandrene,α-pinene and β-pinene were Q-marker of F. suspensa .
