ObjectiveTo explore the regular pattern of TCM beauty prescription.MethodsBased on the ACCESS database platform,we established TCM beauty prescription database and analyzed the information in detailed.ResultsThe total number of beauty prescription in the database was 1821.We focused on analyzing the frequency of medicine application in ancient beauty prescriptions,medicinal diet,acne,chloasma and freckles prescriptions.Statistics showed that dahurian angelica root,indian bread,medlar,honey,black sesame,baical skullcap root,and Chinese angelica were the most commonly used seven kinds of Chinese herbs.ConclusionThe main parts of Chinese medicines for making beauty were those herbs which can nourish yin and blood,supplement yang and qi; and the main parts of Chinese medicine for treating skin diseases were those herbs which can clear heat and detoxicate.

Objective To introduce the robotic-assisted left hemicolectomy and Soave procedure and its clinical outcome for Hirschsprung's allied disease.Methods From June 2015 to November 2022,19 cases diagnosed with Hirschsprung's allied disease underwent left colectomy and Soave pull-through by using the da Vinci surgical system,and the clinical data of 19 children were summarized and analyzed.A four trocar technique was used.The left colon was firstly mobilized by laparoscopy from splenic flexure of colon to the level of peritoneal reflection,then the rectum was mobilized by Robotic system to the level of dentate line.A circumferential incision was made in the mucosa at 0.5 cm proximal to the dentate line.The upward submucosal dissection was carried out for approximately 1-2 cm.The left colon was pulled through the anal canal and resected.The coloanal anastomosis was fashioned manually 0.5 cm above the dentate line.21 cases underwent conventional laparoscopic-assisted Soave surgery were used as control group.Results All patients were successfully operated.Compared with conventional laparoscopic-assisted Soave surgery,the operation time was significantly prolonged(P<0.01),the intraoperative blood loss was significantly reduced(P<0.01),and the overall postoperative complication rate was significantly reduced(11%VS.43%,P<0.05).There were no serious complications such as major bleeding and death.Conclusion Robotic-assisted left hemicolectomy and Soave procedure are safe and feasible in the treatment of Hirschsprung's allied disease,with few postoperative complications and satisfactory clinical outcome.

BACKGROUND:
Although intensively studied in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the prognostic value of diastolic blood pressure (DBP) has little been elucidated in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). This study aimed to reveal the prognostic value of DBP in AECOPD patients.
METHODS:
Inpatients with AECOPD were prospectively enrolled from 10 medical centers in China between September 2017 and July 2021. DBP was measured on admission. The primary outcome was all-cause in-hospital mortality; invasive mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit (ICU) admission were secondary outcomes. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and multivariable Cox regressions were used to identify independent prognostic factors and calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for adverse outcomes.
RESULTS:
Among 13,633 included patients with AECOPD, 197 (1.45%) died during their hospital stay. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that low DBP on admission (<70 mmHg) was associated with increased risk of in-hospital mortality (HR = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.53-3.05, Z = 4.37, P <0.01), invasive mechanical ventilation (HR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.32-2.05, Z = 19.67, P <0.01), and ICU admission (HR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.24-1.69, Z = 22.08, P <0.01) in the overall cohort. Similar findings were observed in subgroups with or without CVDs, except for invasive mechanical ventilation in the subgroup with CVDs. When DBP was further categorized in 5-mmHg increments from <50 mmHg to ≥100 mmHg, and 75 to <80 mmHg was taken as reference, HRs for in-hospital mortality increased almost linearly with decreased DBP in the overall cohort and subgroups of patients with CVDs; higher DBP was not associated with the risk of in-hospital mortality.
CONCLUSION:
Low on-admission DBP, particularly <70 mmHg, was associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes among inpatients with AECOPD, with or without CVDs, which may serve as a convenient predictor of poor prognosis in these patients.
