Objective:
To understand the attitudes and perceptions of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners in Beijing TCM hospitals regarding the use of Ephedra sinica Stapf (E. sinica, Ma Huang).
Methods:
A two-stage cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire survey of TCM practitioners in Beijing TCM hospitals between April 2023 and March 2024. The questionnaire included demographic information, the clinical background of TCM practitioners, and the clinical application of E. sinica. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relevant influencing factors when using E. sinica.
Results:
Of the 465 questionnaires collected, 441 were valid. Among these, 84.81% (374/441) reported having used E. sinica in clinical practice at least once. The commonly used doses of E. sinica—excluding the pediatric department—were 10 g for high doses, 6 g for medium, and 3 g for low. The three most frequently used formulas for E. sinica included Maxing Shigan decoction, Mahuang decoction, and Xiao Qing Long decoction. The most common TCM patterns treated with a high dose of E. sinica were wind-cold exterior pattern, wind-cold invading the lung, and wind and water combat with meridians congealed by cold. The top three Western medical diagnoses when using E. sinica for treatment were common cold, pneumonia, and upper respiratory tract infections. Nearly half of the respondents reported experiencing adverse reactions from the oral administration of E. sinica, with the most common being palpitations, insomnia, and restlessness. Starting with a low dose and gradually increasing it as appropriate was identified as an effective approach.
Conclusion
This study investigated the attitudes and perceptions of TCM practitioners in Beijing TCM hospitals regarding the dose–efficacy–adverse reaction relationship of E. sinica, providing a reference for the safe and effective clinical use of E. sinica.

Non-image forming functions of eyes include the regulation of biological circadian rhythm and biological magnetoreception.Biological magnetoreception means that various organisms including human obtain the direction and position information through the geomagnetic field.Creatures with retina realize magnetoreception regarding retinal cryptochrome as magnetoreceptor.Hypotheses of magnetoreception contain the radical-pair theory and the biological compass theory.The two theories both reckon retinal elements as possible receptor protein of magnetoreception, and eyes as receptor organ.The radical-pair theory suggests that change of radical spin influences the structure of retinal cryptochrome, leading to different downstream chemical reaction products, which makes the variable magnetic field information perceivable.And the biological compass theory proposes a rod-like complex composed of polymerized cryptochromes and magnetoreceptor proteins, which can point to different directions due to light and magnetic signals.These changes in retina transmit geomagnetic field signal to the brain, and then sense of direction is formed.Researching biological magnetoreception promotes a novel perspective in the diagnosis and treatment of eye and brain diseases, and brings innovation in magnetic material field.In this article, non-image forming functions of eyes, hypotheses of magnetoreception and possible mechanism of non-image forming functions of eyes in magnetoreception were reviewed.

Objective To evaluate the efficiency and safety of micropulse laser trabeculoplasty (MLT) for open angle glaucoma ( OAG) patients and ocular hypertension ( OHT) patients. Methods A prospective self-controlled study was designed. Fifty-six eyes of 56 OAG and OHT patients in Peking University Third Hospital were recruited from June 2016 to June 2017,including 32 males and 24 females with the age of (50. 4±19. 0) years old. The diagnosis included 48 eyes of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG),3 eyes of normal tension glaucoma and 5 eyes of OHT. The best corrected vision acuity ( BCVA) was 0. 7 ±0. 3 before treatment. The intraocular pressure (IOP) before MLT was (20.4±5.8) mmHg,the average types of antiglaucoma medications was 1.7,including systemic medication and local drug use. The general information, BCVA, IOP and antiglaucoma medication were recorded. Only one eye of each patient was treated by MLT. The IOP at different follow-up time points (2 hours, 1 day,1 week, 1 month, 3 months post-treatment) and the number of antiglaucoma medication before and after treatment were compared. This study protocol was approved by Ethic Committee of Peking University Third Hospital (No. 2014166). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to any medical examination. Results The IOP after MLT was (20. 2±6. 7),(17. 6±4. 4),(18. 1±4. 5),(17. 4±3. 4) and (17. 0±2. 1)mmHg at 2 hours, 1 day,1 week,1 month and 3 months,respectively,with significant difference among the different time points ( F=7. 320,P<0. 001). Compared with the IOP before treatment,the IOP at 1 day,1 week,1 month and 3 months after treatment were significantly decerased,with significant differences between them (all at P<0. 05). Three months after treatment,the average number of glaucoma medications used was 1. 5, and only local administration was used. Infection,hyphema,cornea injury,burns and other complications were not seen in all the patients. Conclusions MLT is effective and safety for OAG and OHT patients,and reduce the use of glaucoma drugs.

Objective:To compare the effect of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)on pulmonary transplantation(LTx)in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF)complicated with pulmonary hypertension(PH).Methods:From January 2017 to December 2020, clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 112 IPF patients complicated with PH undergoing LTx assisted by venous ECMO(VV-ECMO group, n=68)or venous arterial ECMO(VA-ECMO group, n=44). Gender, age, mechanical ventilation time, oxygenation index, cold ischemic time, preoperative gender, age, smoking history, PO 2, PCO 2, PH degree, NYHA cardiac function grade, right cardiac function, ejection fraction(EF)and complications(hypertension & diabetes)of two groups were compared. Intraoperative approach, operative duration, ECMO transfer time, blood loss, blood transfusion, urine volume, postoperative blood transfusion, mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay time, re-thoracotomy, pulmonary infection, primary graft dysfunction(PGD)and renal insufficiency were recorded. And the effects of two different diversion modes on early postoperative complications and short-term outcomes of LTx were further analyzed by multiple factors. Cox proportional risk model was employed for comparing VV-ECMO and VA-ECMO flow patterns with factors related to recipient survival after transplantation. Results:The preoperative PO 2 of 58.3(51.3, 72.0)mmHg was significantly lower in VV-ECMO bypass group than that of 73.2(63.3, 96.8)mmHg in VA-ECMO group and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.006). Compared with VV-ECMO group, 24(54.5%), 15(34.1%)and 22(50.0%)had NYHA class Ⅲ, severe PH and preoperative right heart enlargement in VA-ECMO group respectively and the differences were statistically significant compared with 17(25.0%), 6(8.8%)and 16(23.5%)in VV-ECMO group( P<0.05 for all). No significant inter-group differences existed in postoperative PGD, postoperative mechanical ventilation time(≥3 d), pulmonary infection, postoperative thoracotomy ratio, postoperative renal insufficiency, ICU stay, hospital stay and other aspects( P>0.05). And 6-month postoperative survival rates of VV-ECMO and VA-ECMO groups were 80.9% and 61.4%, respectively and no significant inter-group difference existed in short-term survival rate(6 months)after adjustment by multivariate Cox regression model( P>0.05). Multivariate statistics indicated that the risk of delayed postoperative withdrawal was 14.452-fold higher in VV-ECMO group than in VA-ECMO group and the inter-group difference was statistically significant(95% CI: 2.448-85.323, P=0.03). Conclusions:No differences exist in postoperative complications or short-term survival rate between IPF recipients with mild PH on VV-ECMO mode and IPF recipients with severe PH on VA-ECMO mode. VV-ECMO flow reversal can delay the transplant back-off time.
8.Current status of dental implantation therapy for diabetic patients
Journal of Prevention and Treatment for Stomatological Diseases 2019;27(4):205-211
In 2017, there were 451 million people (ages 18 to 99) with diabetes worldwide, and this number is expected to grow to 592 million by 2035. A series of complications in diabetic patients often leads to oral vascular and bone lesions. Therefore, dental implant doctors urgently need to understand the clinical characteristics of diabetes mellitus patients to provide the best treatment. For dental implant doctors, the following problems still exist in the treatment of diabetic patients with poor blood sugar control: ① alveolar fossa healing in diabetic patients is slow after extraction, and bone regeneration is often needed, which prolongs the treatment cycle and increases the pain of patients; ② the rate of new bone formation in diabetic patients after alveolar bone grafting is slow; ③ it takes a long time for the body to achieve effective bone bonding after dental implantation in diabetic patients, and the outcomes are poor; ④ the health of the tissue around dental implants is affected by blood sugar level, which is difficult to maintain in diabetic patients. Current studies suggest that the long-term success rate of implants is predictable in diabetic patients when blood sugar levels are well controlled (HbA1c < 6%). This article will review the current research status of dental implantation therapy for diabetic patients to provide a reference for clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of exogenous H2O2 on secondary metabolism in Atractylodes chinensis and its mechanism. MethodFresh rhizomes of A. chinensis were treated with 5.0, 1.0, 0.2, 0.04 mmol·L-1 H2O2 solution and clean water, and the relationships between the contents of reactive oxygen species, activities of antioxidant enzymes, activities of key enzymes of secondary metabolites, and contents of secondary metabolites in A. chinensis were compared. ResultUnder treatment with exogenous H2O2, the content of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the fresh rhizomes of A. chinensis were significantly elevated on the 4th day, and returned to normal level on the 6th-8th day. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) were all increased first and then decreased, and reached the peak on the 4th, 4th-6th and 2th-4th day, respectively. The activities of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGR) and acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC), key enzymes of the secondary metabolites, were remarkably enhanced, and under treatments with different concentrations of H2O2, the activities of key synthetic enzymes of the secondary metabolites in 0.2 mmol·L-1 H2O2 group were increased most, with the highest biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. The contents of atractylodin, β-eudesmol, atractylone, atractylenolide Ⅱ, and atractylenolide Ⅲ on the 6th day of 0.2 mmol·L-1 H2O2 treatment were 89.5%, 108.7%, 308.8%, 64.7% and 9.3%, respectively higher than those in the control. ConclusionThe antioxidant enzymes and secondary metabolites in A. chinensis synergistically maintain the balance of reactive oxygen species, and exogenous H2O2 can improve the medicinal quality of A. chinensis remarkably.
