Objective To investigate the characteristics of traditional Chinese medical syndrome types of fulminant and epidemic dengue fever patients admitted in Guangzhou and Xishuang banna in the year of 2013,and to ex plore the differences of etiology and pathogenesis, illness, and treatment for the patients in the two regions. Methods We collected the clinical data of 78 cases receiving integrative Chinese and western medicine from 255 patients admitted in Guangzhou Municipal Eighth People’s Hospital, and the clinical data of 39 cases receiving integrative Chinese and western medicine from 120 patients admitted in the People’s Hospital of Xishuangbanna Dai Nationality Autonomous Prefecture in the year of 2013. The traditional Chinese medical syndrome types and the syndrome scores of the total of 117 cases were investigated. The method of phenology was used for the analysis of epidemic time and epidemic region of dengue fever, and the theory of defense-qi-nutrient-blood syndrome differentiation of seasonal febrile diseases was used for the analysis of etiology and pathogenesis of dengue fever. Results ( 1) Dengue fever was epidemic in the first ten days of July and in the middle ten days of November of the year 2013 in Guangzhou region, and was epidemic in the middle ten days of August and the first ten days of October in Xishuangbanna region. The epidemicity of dengue fever in Guangzhou covered the end of summer and the whole autumn, and then disappeared before the coming of winter. In Xishuangbanna , the epidemicity of dengue fever was obvious in autumn, and disappeared in late autumn. ( 2) In the two hospitals, dengue fever patients were dominated by the syndromes of excessive heat in both Qifen and Xuefen, blood stasis blended with toxicity, excessive heat in Qifen, and lingering pathogens in order. (3) Before treatment, the scores of fever were higher in patients of Xishuangbanna hospital than those in patients of Guangzhou Eighth People’s Hospital ( P<0.01) . After treatment for 3 days, fever scores were improved in both hospitals (P<0.05 or P<0.01), but the differences between the two hospitals were insignificant (P>0.05) . After treatment for 6 days, fever disappeared in patients of both hospitals. (4) Before treatment, the scores of syndromes were higher in patients of Xishuangbanna hospital than those in patients of Guangzhou Eighth People’s Hospital ( P<0.05) . After treatment for 3 days, syndorme scores were improved in both hospitals ( P<0.01) , but the syndrome scores were higher in Xishuangbanna hospital than those in patients of Guangzhou Eighth People’s Hospital. After treatment for 6 days, syndrome scores were much improved in patients of both hospitals compared with those after treatment for 3 days (P<0.01) . Conclusion In dengue fever patients admitted in Guangzhou and Xishuangbanna region, the syndrome of excessive heat in both Qifen and Xuefen is the leading type, and then comes blood stasis blended with toxicity. The illness state of patients in Guangzhou region is milder than that of the patients in Xishuangbanna region, the time for symptom relief is about one week, and similar therapeutic effect can be achieved in the two regions .

Eighty patients with hyperthyroidism treated in PLA 903 Hospital from February 2016 to May 2017 were randomly divided into two groups with 40 cases in each group.Patients in control group received routine outpatient education and those in study group received regular formatted mobile short message during follow-up in addition to routine education.The knowledge of disease,the compliance and satisfaction of treatment were assessed.After 12 weeks of follow-up,the TSH level was higher [0.430(0.050,2.806) vs.0.210(0.003,1.098) mU/L,Z=-8.07,P＜0.01],FT3 [(3.24± 1.18) vs.(4.18±2.07)ng/L,t=-2.49,P＜ 0.05] and FT4 levels [(12.43±6.82) vs.(19.58±19.06) ng/L,t=-2.26,P＜0.05] were lower in study group than those in control group.The scores of disease knowledge (6.12± 1.77 vs.5.25±1.79,t=4.67,P＜0.05),the Morisky scores of medication compliance (3.77±0.47 vs.3.37±0.73,t=8.22,P＜0.01),the rates of compliance for returning (85％ vs.65％,x2=4.27,P＜0.05) and the satisfaction rates with treatments (93％ vs.75％,x2=3.30,P＜0.05) in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group.The score of disease knowledge in study group increased from 4.32± 1.55 before treatment to 6.12± 1.77 after 12 weeks of follow-up (t=22.65,P＜0.01).The results indicate that the health education plus regular formatted text message during follow-up can effectively improve the disease knowledge score,the compliance and satisfaction with treatment in patients with hyperthyroidism.

Objective:To explore the effect of health education based on outcome-based concept on self-management ability and glycemic control in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes melittus (T2DM).Methods:A total of 103 T2DM patients admitted in the Endocrinology Department of 903 Hospital of PLA from March 2022 to September 2022 were recruited and randomly divided into study group ( n=52) and control group ( n=51). Routine health education was given to all patients, while additional outcome-based health education was provided by diabetes specialist nurses for the study group during hospitalization. At 12 weeks after discharge, the self-management ability and glycemic control were compared between the two groups. Results:At 12 weeks after discharge, patients in the study group had significantly better self-management ability (dietary control: (4.06±0.75) vs. (3.70±0.88), t=2.50, regular exercise: (3.88±0.62) vs. (3.52±0.94), t=2.30, medical compliance: (4.47±0.51) vs. (4.12±0.64), t=3.14, self blood glucose monitoring: (3.43±0.87) vs. (2.94±0.95), t=2.71, foot care: (3.56±0.57) vs. (2.77±0.87), t=5.42, and management of hyper or hypoglycemia:(3.65±0.72) vs. (3.24±0.96), t=2.48); glycemic control (fasting blood glucose: (6.31±0.90) vs. (6.88±1.37)mmol/L, t=-2.46, 2-h postprandial blood glucose: (8.39±1.64) vs. (9.27±2.50)mmol/L, t=-2.11, HbA1c: (6.76±0.98)% vs. (7.17±0.93)%, t=-2.22). The control rate of HbA1c in the study group was significantly higher and the incidence of hypoglycemia was significantly lower than those in the control group (78.8%(41/52) vs. 58.8%(30/51), χ 2=4.82 and 11.5%(6/52) vs. 29.4%(15/51), χ 2=5.07, respectively). Conclusions:The outcome-based health education can effectively enhance self-management ability and glycemic control in hospitalized type 2 diabetic patients.

OBJECTIVE To enrich the polymethoxyflavonoid-rich fraction from Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium using D101 macro-porous resin,and further to analyse the chemical constituents using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Quadrupole-Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry(HPLC-Q-TOF-MS).METHODS Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium extract was adsorbed on D101 macro-porous resin and then eluted with different concentrations of ethanol to enrich the polymethoxyflavonoid-rich fraction;the content of the major flavonoid components was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC);and the components were further an-alysed by HPLC-Q-TOF-MS.RESULTS The established HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of seven flavonoids in Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium extract was accurate and reliable.The contents of compounds such as nobiletin and tangeritin were signifi-cantly increased in the polymethoxyflavonoid-rich fraction.Using high resolution mass spectrometry(HRMS),70 and 60 compounds were identified from the Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium extract and the polymethoxyflavonoid-rich fraction,respectively,with 53 polyme-thoxyflavonoids being detected in these two extracts.CONCLUSION The results of this study provide an experimental basis for fur-ther identification of the pharmacological substance basis of the polymethoxyflavonoids in Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium and the estab-lishment of quality control methods.

Objective:To establish a prediction model for symptomatic radiation pneumonitis (SRP) after radiotherapy for thoracic cancer based on a longitudinal cohort and dose interval variations.Methods:Clinical data of 587 patients who received thoracic radiotherapy in Department of Radiotherapy of Yunnan Cancer Hospital from July 2022 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The National Cancer Institute common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) version 5.0 was used to grade radiation pneumonitis, and clinical factors, traditional independent dosimetric characteristics and dose interval variation characteristics were collected. Features used to predict the occurrence of SRP were screened using genetic algorithms and analyzed the correlation between the selected features and SRP occurrence. Predictive models for SRP occurrence were established using the selected features and evaluated, and the optimal predictive model was visualized using a column chart.Results:The incidence of SRP was 35.94%. Five clinical factors, seven independent dosimetric features and six dose interval variation features were screened out by genetic algorithms to effectively predict the occurrence of SRP. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of clinical factors combined with traditional independent dosimetric factors and dose interval variation factors was 76%. The AUC of clinical factors combined with traditional independent dosimetric factors and that of clinical factors combined with dose interval variation factors was 69% and 67%, respectively. The addition of the characteristics of dose interval variation factors significantly improved the effectiveness of the prediction model.Conclusions:The supplement of the characteristics of dose interval variation factors can significantly improve the performance of the SRP prediction model for thoracic tumors after radiotherapy. The SRP prediction model based on dose interval variations can effectively predict the occurrence of SRP.
