Objective To evaluate the synergistic effect of Baoxinkang on chronic heart failure ( CHF) rats by observing the effect of the combination of Baoxinkang and conventional medicine intervention on cardiac function and adenylate metabolism. Methods Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, namely sham-operation group, model group, Baoxinkang group ( Baoxinkang 1 020 mg/kg) , conventional medicine intervention group (metoprolol 10 mg/kg, captopril 5 mg/kg, and digoxin 0.022 5 mg/kg), combination group 1 ( conventional medicine intervention + Baoxinkang 1 020 mg/kg) , and combination group 2 ( conventional medicine intervention + trimetazidine 10 mg/kg) . Abdominal aora was constricted to establish CHF rat model. The rats except for the sham-operation group and model group were given the corresponding medicine according to the experimental design for 6 weeks. Echocardiography ( ECHO) was performed to evaluate the cardiac function of rats. High performance liquid chromatography was utilized to investigate the contents of myocardiac adenylate of adenosine triphosphate ( ATP) , adenosine diphosphate ( ADP) , adenosine monophosphate (AMP) . Total adenylate nucleotide pool (TAN) was equal to ATP+ADP+AMP, energy charge (EC) was equal to ( ATP+0.5 ×ADP) /TAN. Results The results of ECHO showed that the heart size was reduced, left ejection fraction and cardiac output were increased in the combination group 1 compared with the model group and conventional medicine intervention group. The levels of ATP, TAN, and EC were significantly increased, whereas the levels of ADP and AMP were decreased in the combination group 1 (P<0.05 or P<0.01). However, there were no significant differences of heart size, left ejection fraction, cardiac output, ATP, ADP, AMP, TAN or EC between combination group 1 and combination group 2 ( P>0.05) . Conclusion Baoxinkang may have some synergistic effect on the improvement of CHF rat cardiac energy metabolism disorder treated by conventional medicine.

Objective To explore application value of transaxillary single-port gasless endoscopic-assisted fibroadenomas excision in adolescents.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 60 cases of fibroadenoma from June 2019 to June 2023.The patients were 17.3(range,13-19)years old.There were 54 cases of unilateral tumors and 6 cases of bilateral tumors.The average number of tumors was 2.5(range,1-13),and the mean tumor diameter was 4.0(range,3-10)cm.The fibroadenoma excision was performed by using transaxillary single-port gasless endoscopy.Results Of the 60 patients,the average operation time was 64.9(range,35-130)min and the intraoperative blood loss was less than 20 ml.Postoperative complications occurred in 5 cases(8.3%).At 3 months after surgery,the psychosocial well-being scores of BREAST-Q Scale were increased from(79.2±8.9)to(83.4±9.9)(P<0.001).Conclusion Transaxillary single-port gasless endoscopic-assisted fibroadenomas excision is safe and effective for multiple or large fibroadenomas in adolescents,offering minimal invasion and concealed incision.
