Abstract Ischemic stroke is characterized by high morbidity, disability and mortality. At present, there is a lack of effective treatment for ischemic stroke, so it is of great significance to reduce the incidence risk of ischemic stroke. Studies show that vitamin C can prevent atherosclerosis, thus reduce the incidence risk of ischemic stroke. However, this point is controversial due to the differences of study population, inconsistent evaluation methods of vitamin C content and the influence of various confounding factors. This paper reviews the related animal experiments, clinical trials and cohort studies, in order to provide reference for subsequent studies on reducing the incidence risk of ischemic stroke.

Background:Oryz-Aspergillus Enzyme and Pancreatin Tablet is a double-deck digestive enzyme pellet containing Oryz-Aspergillus enzyme and pancreatin that has been widely used for treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD)in clinical practice. However,there is no randomized controlled trial focusing on the efficacy of this agent versus other drugs used for treatment of FD such as prokinetics and proton pump inhibitors (PPI). Aims:To compare the efficacy and safety among Oryz-Aspergillus Enzyme and Pancreatin Tablet,Domperidone Tablet and Esomeprazole Magnesium Enteric-coated Tablet, three drugs with different mechanisms of action on FD,in Chinese population. Methods:A total of 82 Helicobacter pylori-negative outpatients fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of FD in Rome Ⅲ were recruited from Nov. 2015 to Jun. 2016 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University. These patients were randomly allocated into 3 groups,and received Oryz-Aspergillus Enzyme and Pancreatin Tablet (group A),Domperidone Tablet (group B)and Esomeprazole Magnesium Enteric-coated Tablet (group C)orally for 4 weeks,respectively. The improvement of dyspeptic symptoms and adverse events were observed and recorded. Results:After 4 weeks treatment,the overall efficacies for global symptoms in group A,group B and group C were 93. 1%,88. 9% and 69. 2%,respectively,statistically significant difference was existed among the three groups (P < 0. 05). Domperidone Tablet was effective for postprandial fullness and early satiety;Esomeprazole Magnesium Enteric-coated Tablet was sensitive for epigastric pain,epigastric burning,and belching and regurgitation;the efficacies of Oryz-Aspergillus Enzyme and Pancreatin Tablet for all five dyspeptic symptoms were in between. No adverse events were observed during treatment course. Conclusions:Digestive enzymes,prokinetics and PPI have different sensitive symptoms and optimal indications for treatment of FD. The overall efficacy of Oryz-Aspergillus Enzyme and Pancreatin Tablet is superior to that of prokinetics and PPI.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of modified Qiwei Baizhu Powder combined with conventional therapy in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with abnormal lipid metabolism.Methods:A total of 96 patients with T2DM and abnormal lipid metabolism from March 2018 to March 2021 in Anhui Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital who met the inclusion criteria were divided into 2 groups according to the random number table method, with 48 in each group. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine, while the observation group was treated with modified Qiwei Baizhu Powder and treatment of the control group. Both groups were treated for 3 months. TCM syndrome scores were performed before and after treatment. Fasting blood glucose (FPG) and 2 hPG were detected by glucose oxidase method, HbA1c was detected by HPLC, TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C were detected by cholesterol peroxidase method, glycerophosphate oxidase method, direct inhibition method and direct surfactant clearance method. Adverse events during treatment were recorded and clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:The total effective rate was 93.8% (45/48) in the observation group and 79.2% (38/48) in the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.36, P=0.037). After treatment, the scores of dry mouth, fatigue, anorexia, dizziness, tongue, pulse and total scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 3.58, 3.17, 3.24, 3.59, 3.58, 2.76 and 8.44, respectively, all Ps<0.05); the levels of FPG, 2 hPG and HbA1c in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 3.37, 2.05 and 3.73 respectively, all Ps<0.05). After treatment, the levels of TC [(4.30±0.85) mmol/L vs. (4.78±0.94) mmol/L, t=2.62], TG [(3.00±0.37) mmol/L vs. (3.19±0.54) mmol/L, t=2.01], LDL-C [(2.60±0.71) mmol/L vs. (2.95±0.44) mmol/L, t=2.90] were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). After treatment, the HDL-C [(2.07±0.63) mmol/L vs. (1.82±0.55) mmol/L, t=2.01] level was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Modified Qiwei Baizhu Powder combined with conventional therapy can improve blood glucose and blood lipid levels in T2DM patients with abnormal lipid metabolism, relieve clinical symptoms and improve curative effect.

Objective To observe the effect of flurbiprofen axetil on lung oxygenation function,re-spiratory mechanics and pulmonary complications in patients undergoing thoracoscopic right lung lobectomy with endobronchial blockers during one-lung ventilation(OLV).Methods Sixty patients scheduled for elective thoracoscopic right lung lobectomy with endobronchial blockers for OLV,25 males and 35 females,aged 35-64 years,BMI 18-28 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were randomly allocated into two groups:the flurbiprofen axetil group(group F)and the control group(group C),30 patients in each group.In group F,flurbiprofen axeil 1.0 mg/kg was injected intravenously 15 minutes before anesthesia induction,while group C was not treated.Blood gas analysis was performed in 2 ml of radial artery 20 minutes before anesthesia induction(T0),30 minutes(T1)and 60 minutes(T2)after OLV,and 15 minutes(T3)after two lung ventilation,then oxygenation index(OI)was calculated respectively and SpO2 was recorded.Pa-rameters of lung mechanics were monitored at T1 and T2 including peak airway pressure(Ppeak),airway platform pressure(Pplat),dynamic lung compliance(Cdyn),and ratio of null lumen volume to tidal vol-ume(VD/VT).The incidence of hypoxemia and the number of remedial cases during OLV were recorded.The postoperative transfer to ICU and complications such as atelectasis,acute lung injury and pneumonia within 72 hours after surgery were recorded.Results Compared with group C,SpO2 at T1,PaO2 and OI at T1—T3,and Cdyn at T1 and T2 were significantly increased in group F(P＜0.05),Ppeak and VD/VT at T1 and T2,Pplat at T2 were significantly decreased in group F(P＜0.05).There were no hypoxemia and remedies occurred during OLV and no patients were transferred to ICU after surgery,no atelectasis,acute lung injury,and pneumonia occurred within 72 hours after surgery between the two groups.Conclusion For patients undergoing OLV with endobronchial blockers undergoing thoracoscopic right lung lobectomy,in-travenous flurbiprofen axetil before induction of anesthesia can help improve lung oxygenation and optimize respiratory parameters during one lung ventilation.

At present, the incidence of chronic heart failure in China remains high, with a high incidence among the elderly. Palliative care model can actively improve patient prognosis and enhance their quality of life.

This paper reviews the application of the home based palliative care model in patients with chronic heart failure both domestically and internationally, including the concepts of chronic heart failure and palliative care, the status of home based palliative care models for patients with chronic heart failure, the needs, significance, existing problems of home based palliative care, and proposes development suggestions, aiming to promote the development of the home based palliative care model in China.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of pharmaceutical interventio n led by clinical pharmacists on medication appropriateness of elderly inpatients. METHODS A non-randomized concurrent controlled trial was carried out. Elderly patients admitted to two treatment groups in the geriatric department of Yancheng First People ’s Hospital since June 2021 were selected as the research objects. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria ，the first 40 patients were selected from each of the two treatment groups （according to the order of admission time ）and set as the control group or the intervention group. The control group received routine treatment and nursing services ，and the intervention group additionally received pharmaceutical intervention led by clinical pharmacists on the basis control group. Clinical pharmacists found potential inappropriate medication （PIM）and put forward suggestions on optimization of medication regimen. American Geriatrics Society 2019 Updated AGS Beers Criteria ® for PIM Use in Older Adults （hereinafter referred to as “Beers criteria ”）and the Criteria of PIMs for Older Adults in China 2017 Edition （hereinafter referred to as “Chinese criteria ”）were used as reference tools for drug use review. The medication appropriateness index （MAI）total scores （main evaluation indicator ），the number of PIMs ，the number of drugs used ，the length of hospital stay ，the number of drug-related adverse events during hospital stay ，the number of drug regimen optimization suggestions by pharmacists ， and implementation rate of E-mail：zhihuadou@163.com optimization suggestions adopted by clinicians were compared between 2 groups at admission and at discharge. RESULTS At admission ，there were no statistically differences in MAI total scores，the number of PIMs based on Beers criteria ，the number of PIMs based on Chinese criteria or the number of drugs used between 2 groups（P＞0.05）. At discharge ，there were no statistically differences in the number of PIMs based on Chinese criteria and the length of hospital stay between 2 groups（P＞0.05），but the MAI total scores ，the number of PIMs based on Beers criteria and the number of drugs used in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group （P＜0.05）. In the intervention group，the proportion of drugs recorded as “inappropriate medication ”at admission （34.5％）was significantly higher than that at discharge（19.5％）（P＜0.05）. The difference between the number of drugs discharged from hospital and the number of drugs admitted to hospital in the control group [ 3（1-4.8)] was significantly higher than that in the intervention group [ 1（0-2.8)]（P＝ 0.012）. Compared with admission ，the proportion of drugs recorded as “inappropriate medication ”in the intervention group at discharge was significantly decreased on the basis of “effectiveness”dimension and “course”dimension （P＜0.05）. During hospitalization，clinical pharmacists put forward 70 optimization suggestions of drug regimen for the intervention group ，among which 39 suggestions were adopted and implemented by clinicians ，with an implementation rate of 55.7％. CONCLUSIONS The pharmaceutical intervention led by clinical pharmacists can improve overall appropriateness of drug use in the elderly inpatients using MAI as main evaluation indicator.

Objective:To explore the symptom distress and coping experience of menopausal symptoms in premenopausal breast cancer patients, so as to provide theoretical and research basis for the development of menopausal symptoms intervention program in premenopausal breast cancer patients.Methods:This is a qualitative study. A purposive sampling method was used to select 12 premenopausal breast cancer patients with combined menopausal symptoms who were followed up in Breast Surgery Ward and Outpatient Clinic of Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institution & Hospital from December 2020 to April 2021. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to patients. Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to organize and analyze the data.Results:Two categories and six themes were extracted from menopausal symptoms management experience of premenopausal breast cancer patients. Category 1 was barriers of symptom management, including increased emotion disorders, lacking awareness of symptoms, negative coping styles, and insufficient information support. Category 2 was facilitators of symptom management, including positive self-regulation and social support influences.Conclusions:Menopausal symptoms in premenopausal breast cancer patients are severity. Medical staff should pay more attention on barriers of symptom management, encourage patients to actively adjust themselves and have a healthy lifestyle, strengthen the evaluation and long-term follow-up of menopausal symptoms, so as to provide professional health guidance and convenient medical service.
