OBJECTIVE:To compare the quality control index between Jinzhen Suanzao teabag and decoction,and explore the alternative supplement of teabag to decoction. METHODS:The test sample solutions of Jinzhen Suanzao teabag and decoction were prepared by hot-maceration method and water-decoction method. The contents of water soluble extract and total flavonoids were de-termined and compared between 2 kinds of preparation. The leaching rates of teabag were investigated at different soak time(0,5, 10,15,20,25,30 min) to optimize soaking time. RESULTS:The average content of water soluble extract were 50.56% and 44.45%(P<0.05) respectively for the teabag and decoction. The total flavonoids content were 0.64 mg/g and 0.69 mg/g (P<0.05). The dissolution amount of teabag were increasing and leaching rate increased within first 20 min,and reached balance gradu-ally 25 min later. CONCLUSIONS:According to the convenience of use and results of each index,the difference in quality control index is not great between 2 kinds of preparation. Teabag can be as the supplement of decoction.

Objective This study aims to investigate the application of symptom group management using a mo-bile health platform in managing heart failure patients during convalescence.Methods The research involved pa-tients with chronic heart failure who were treated at a tertiary A hospital in Qingdao from June 2022 to December 2022.The experimental group consisted of 235 patients who were discharged after treatment in ward A,while the control group consisted of 235 patients who were discharged during the same period in ward B.The experimental group received an mHealth-based symptom clusters management program following routine continuous nursing and the control group was given routine continuous nursing after discharge.6 months after the intervention,the heart function status,self-care level,and quality of life were compared between 2 groups.Results The experimental group ultimately included 232 cases,while the control group ultimately included 225 cases.Furthermore,the cardiac functional status,level of self-care,and quality of life of both the experimental group and the control group showed improvement compared to the pre-intervention period(P＜0.05).The experimental group exhibited significantly better cardiac function status compared to the control group,and the experimental group demonstrated higher levels of self-care confidence,and quality of life relative to the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The utilization of a mobile medical platform can enhance the management of heart failure patients'symptom groups,resulting in im-proved disease management efficiency.This platform provides patients with a comprehensive self-management plan,ultimately enhancing their self-management abilities and overall outcomes.
