Objective:To evaluate the impact of atorvastatin and rosuvastatin at different doses on liver function in the patients with coronary artery disease. Methods:A retrospective study was used, and the patients with coronary heart disease hospitalized in the first hospital of China medical university from January 2013 to March 2014 were selected. According to the drug variety and dosage, the patients were divided into four groups: A (atorvastatin, 20 mg·d-1), B (atorvastatin, 40 mg·d-1), C (rosuvastatin, 10 mg· d-1 ) and D ( rosuvastatin, 20 mg·d-1 ) . The basic information of patients, the indices of liver function( ALT,AST,ALP and TBIL) , the time of abnormal liver function, treatment strategies and prognosis were recorded. The incidence of abnormal liver function in the groups was compared, and the rationality and effectiveness of the intervetion strategies were evaluated. Results:A total of 269 patients were collected. Among them, 149 cases were with abnormal liver function in varying degrees, and 21 patients were with ALT>3?ULN. The incidence of ALT>3?ULN in atorvastatin high dose group was much higher than that in atorvastatin low dose group( P<0. 05). Conclusion:The patients treated with high dose atorvastatin (40 mg·d-1) have a high risk of liver injury.

Objective:To study the characteristics and management of peripancreatic effusion in chronic pancreatitis.Methods:Data of 32 patients with chronic pancreatitis and 141 acute pancreatitis admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2018 to December 2019 were collected. According to the Atlanta classification, the peripancreatic effusion was divided into four categories: acute peripancreatic fluid collection (APFC), acute necrotic collection(ANC), pancreatic pseudocyst (PPC) and walled-off necrosis (WON). The general information, clinical manifestations, medical history, laboratory examination indicators and treatment of the four types of patients were recorded and analyzed.Results:Among the 32 patients with chronic pancreatitis complicated with peripancreatic effusion, 27 patients (84.4%) were diagnosed as having PPC, 3 patients (9.4%) WON and 2 (6.2%) APFC. No chronic pancreatitis with ANC was found. The incidence of PPC was higher in patients with chronic pancreatitis than those with acute pancreatitis [84.4% (27/32) VS 31.2% (44/141), P<0.01], and the APFC was lower [6.2% (2/32) VS 24.8% (35/141), P=0.021]. The incidence of ANC was also lower [0.0% (0/32) VS 36.9% (52/141), P<0.01], and there was no significant difference in the incidence of WON [9.4% (3/32) VS 7.1% (10/141), P=0.944]. Compared with patients with peripancreatic effusion of chronic pancreatitis, acute pancreatitis showed a higher proportion of clinical manifestations: fever [19.1% (27/141) VS 3.1% (1/32)], nausea [59.6% (84/141) VS 21.9% (7/32)], vomit [56.7% (80/141) VS 21.9% (7/32)], tenderness [79.4% (112/141) VS 34.4% (11/32)], rebounding pain [42.6% (60/141) VS 0.0% (0/32)], increase of C reactive protein [95.7% (135/141) VS 40.6% (13/32)] ( P< 0.05), and the mean hospital stay was longer (13 days VS 11 days, P=0.048). Imaging examination showed that the proportion of lesions >5 cm in diameter in PPC patients with acute pancreatitis was higher than those with chronic pancreatitis [70.5% (31/44) VS 29.6% (8/27), P=0.001]. WON in chronic pancreatitis patients was limited to the pancreas [3/3 VS 1/10, P =0.014]. In terms of treatment strategies, 25 patients (78.1%) received conservative treatment in 32 chronic pancreatitis. There was no significant difference in treatment strategy between patients with acute pancreatitis and those with chronic pancreatitis. Conclusion:In the peripancreatic effusion of chronic pancreatitis, PPC is the most common. Peripancreatic effusion is mainly treated conservatively. There is no difference in treatment among different types of peripancreatic effusion in chronic pancreatitis. However, compared with chronic pancreatitis, peripancreatic effusion in acute pancreatitis may need more active intervention.

Objective To identify factors associated with gastrointestinal heat retention in preschool children,and to provide a foundational understanding for future clinical investigations. Methods A case-control study was performed,which involved children from kindergartens in the Longgang District of Shenzhen City,Guangdong Province,from May to July 2021. Using the Children's Gastrointestinal Heat Retention Diagnostic Self-assessment Scale,subjects were allocated into a case group (children diagnosed with gastrointestinal heat retention) and a control group (children without this condition). An online survey was used to collect data on dietary behaviors,caregivers' feeding behaviors,early antibiotic use,daily routines,and birth conditions. SPSS 27.0 software was used to facilitate precise sociodemographic matching and paired logistic regression analysis to explore the association between gastrointestinal heat retention and the above factors. Results From the analysis of 51,252 matched cases,the study found that several factors contributed to an increased risk of gastrointestinal heat retention. These factors included reduced food intake compared to peers,reports of picky eating by caregivers,distractions during meals,pronounced dietary preferences,disinterest in food,meal durations ≥ 25 min,reluctance to sample new foods,consistent refusal of specific food types for over one month,irregular meal locations,coercive feeding practices,use of micronutrient supplements,allowing children too much freedom in food choice,persuading children to eat,infrequent encouragement to experiment with new foods,early antibiotic introduction,inadequate sleep,and premature birth (P<0.05). In contrast,exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months,engagement in moderate to massive physical activity,and regular napping patterns were associated with a reduced risk of gastrointestinal heat retention (P<0.05). Conclusion The suboptimal dietary habits,improper feeding practices,insufficient physical activity,inadequate sleep,and premature antibiotic exposure may be significant risk factors for gastrointestinal heat retention. Future research dedicated to unraveling the cause of gastrointestinal heat retention should prioritize these elements.

OBJECTIVE
To investigate the protective effect of Tibetan medicine Sanguo decoction on hyperlipidemic rats based on the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and its related mechanisms.
METHODS
Forty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into six groups: the normal control group, the model control group, the simvastatin group(3.5 mg·kg−1), and the Tibetan medicine Sanguo decoction low, medium, and high dose groups(0.43 , 0.86 , 1.72 g·kg−1), with eight rats in each group. The normal control group was fed a basal diet, and the remaining groups were fed the H10060 high-fat diet to prepare a hyperlipidemic rat model. At the same time, each treatment group was given corresponding drugs by gavage once a day. The normal control group and model control group were given an equal volume of physiological saline(once a day) by gavage for 6 consecutive weeks. After 6 weeks, serum levels of lipids[totalcholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), low density lipoprotein(LDL) and high density lipoprotein(HDL)] and oxidative parameters[malondialdehyde(MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD), and glutathione(GSH)] were measured by reagent kit. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2), heme oxygenase 1(HO-1), Keap1, and quinone oxidoreductase(NQO1) protein expression in liver tissues were analyzed by Western blotting. The correlation of lipid and oxidative indices was investigated by person correlation.
RESULTS
Compared with the normal control group, the model control group showed a significant increase in body weight, significantly higher serum levels of TC, TG, LDL, and MDA, significantly lower serum levels of HDL, and significantly lower SOD and GSH activity. Compared with the model control group, each administration group showed a decrease in body weight and serum TC, TG, LDL, and MDA levels. In comparison with the model control group, the body weight was reduced, the serum levels of TC, TG, LDL, and MDA were significantly lower, the serum levels of HDL were significantly higher, and the SOD and GSH activities were significantly higher. Keap1 protein level expression was significantly up-regulated compared with the normal control group, and Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 protein level expression were significantly down-regulated in the model control group. Keap1 protein level expression was significantly down-regulated compared to the model control group, and Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 protein level expression were significantly up-regulated in the liver tissues of low and high doses of Sanguo decoction. The expressions of Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 were significantly up-regulated. Correlation analysis showed that TG was negatively correlated with SOD, HO-1, and NQO1, and positively correlated with Keap1, while TC was negatively correlated with SOD, HO-1, GSH, and Nrf2, and positively correlated with Keap1 and MDA.
CONCLUSION
The Tibetan medicine Sanguo decoction can improve body weight and blood lipid levels in hyperlipidemic rats, and the mechanism may be related to the regulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and the improvement of oxidative stress.
