OBJECTIVE:To summarize the effects of compound glycyrrhizin injection(GL)on hormone withdrawal syndrome(HWS)in SARS patients.METHODS:Using contrast design,the HWS of 134 cases of SARS who had received hormone theropy was retrospectively analysed.RESULTS:Administration of GL could descend the incidence rate of symptoms of HWS,of which the incidence rates of short breath and chest distress,the main symptoms of SARS patients,dropped from 24.5%and 22.6%to 3.6%(P≤0.01)and 7.1%(P≤0.05)and the incidence of asthenia,musculoarthragia and headache decreased from 13.2%,15.1%and 10.4%to 7.2%,14.3%and 0%respectively.The number of patients with elevated ALT reduced(P≤0.01).CONCLUSION:GL can decrease the incidence of HWS.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" (WHO, 2017), and mental health is defined as not only the absence of mental illness, but also the presence of psychological well-being. An expanding body of evidence highlights the relationship between nature (such as urban greenspace) and health (Li et al., 2019; Flaxman et al., 2020). However, human development and subsequent effects such as climate change and epidemic disease (COVID-19) lead to altered living environments and lifestyles. Expanding cities and urban residents have inequitable access to nature, particularly in areas of greater depriv‑ation, where both public and private greenspaces are less available (Feng et al., 2021). In addition, young people spend more than 80% of their time indoors due to constant use of electronic devices for work, study, and entertainment (Klepeis et al., 2001). Mobile phones, personal computers, and video-game devices have become the main means for them to release stress. Excessive use of these electronic devices may affect normal brain activity, increasing the risk of Internet addiction and producing a range of physical and mental problems (Tran et al., 2017). These signal the pressing need for scientific investigation of efficient and convenient ways to increase contact with nature, or alternatively, to better regulate emotions indoors.
