International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2016;38(5):417-419
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of buccal administration of Kangfuxin Liquid combined with conventional treatment for infantile herpetic stomatitis. Method A total of 103 infantiles with herpetic stomatitis were randomly divided into a Kangfuxin group (51 cases) and a conventional group (52 cases). The conventional group received ribavirin aerosol, and the Kangfuxin group recived buccal administration of Kangfuxin Liquid based on the intervention of convertional group. All children were treated for 5 days. The white blood cell count (WBC) and the serum C-reactive protein (CRP) were determined. Result The total efficiency rate in the Kangfuxin group was significantly higher than that in the conventional group (94.1% vs. 78.8%,χ2=3.895, P<0.05). The healing time of oral ulcers (5.8 ± 1.3 d vs. 7.9 ± 1.5 d, t=10.715), body temperature recovery time (2.1 ± 1.1 d vs. 3.3 ± 1.5 d, t=4.623), and eliminating time of oral mucosal hyperemia and edema (4.3 ± 1.3 d vs. 5.3 ± 1.4 d, t=3.755) in the Kangfuxin group was significantly shorter than those in the conventional treatment group (P<0.01). The WBC (6.5×109 ± 2.2×109/L vs. 9.4×109 ± 2.3×109/L, t=6.537) and serum CRP levels (6.7 ± 1.2 mg/L vs. 9.7 ± 2.5 mg/L, t=12.686) were significantly lower in the Kangfuxin group was significantly lower than those in the conventional treatment group (P<0.01). Conclusions The total efficiency rate of buccal administration of Kangfuxin Liquid combined with conventional treatment for infantile herpetic stomatitis was higher than conventional treatment alone. And the remission time of symptoms of treatment group was shorter.

Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2016;36(2):124-128
OBJECTIVETo compare the difference among the combined method of oral administration of forlaxand acupoint embedding therapy, the simple acupoint embedding therapy and the simple oral administration of for-lax in the clinical efficacy on diabetic constipation.
METHODSOne hundred and fifty patients were randomized intoa comprehensive group, an acupoint embedding group and a forlax group, 50 cases in each one. In the acupointembedding group, the embedding therapy was applied to bilateral Tianshu (ST 25), Daheng (SP 15), Shangjuxu(ST 37) and Dachangshu (BL 25), once a week. In the forlax group, forlax (polyethylene glycol) was prescribedfor oral administration, once a day, 10 g each time. In the comprehensive group, the acupoint embedding therapyand forlax were combined and the methods were the same as the first two groups. The treatment for 4 weeks wasas one session, and 2 sessions were required in the three groups. Separately, in 4 weeks, 8 weeks of treatment and2 months after treatment, the constipation symptom scores were compared among the three groups. At the end of2 sessions of treatment, the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions were compared among the three groups. In2 months after treatment, the recurrence rate was compared among the three groups.
RESULTSThe total effectiverate was 98. 0% (49/50) in the comprehensive group, better than 86. 0% (43/50) in the acupoint embeddinggroup and 78. 0% (11/50) in the forlax group (both P<0. 01). In the 4 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment, the con-stipation symptom scores were reduced significantly as compared with those before treatment in the three groups(all P<0. 05). The results in the comprehensive group were lower than those in the other two groups (all P<0. 05). In the 4 weeks of treatment, the scores were not different significantly between the acupoint embedding group and the forlax group (P>0.05). In 8 weeks of treatment and 2 months after treatment, the scores in the acupoint embedding group were better tan those in the forlax group (all p<0.05). There were 2 cases of drug adverse reaction in the comprehensive group, 6 cases in the forlax group and 0 case in the acupoint embedding group. The recurrence rate was 8.1% (4/49) in the comprehensive group, lower than 32.6% (14/43) in the acupoint embedding group and 59.0% (23/39) in the forlax group (both P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONthe combined therapy of acupoint embedding and forlax achieves the better clinical efficacy on diabetic constipation and constipation symptom scores as compared with the simple acupoint embedding therapy and the oral administration of forlax the short-term efficacy of the simple acupoint embedding therapy is not different significantly from the simple forlax medication, but the long-term efficacy and safety are better than those of simple forlax medicaiton.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the epidemiological characteristics and patterns of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis wounds in order to provide reliable data for further clinical research.
METHODSRecords of patients with extra-pulmonary tuberculosis wounds hospitalized from January 2010 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed, including gender, age, nationality, family background, Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination, primary lesion, and history of injury.
RESULTSTuberculosis wounds were found in 235 patients among 5 863 patients with extra-pulmonary tuberculosis, accounting for 4.0%. Among the patients with tuberculosis wounds, there were 139 male and 96 female, and the ratio of male to female was 1.4: 1.0. The age of patients ranged from 1 to 87 (37 +/- 18) years old, and the highest incidence occurred in patients older than 15 and younger than or equal to 30 years old (100 cases, accounting for 42.6%). Most patients with tuberculosis wounds were Han, and only 11 patients were minorities, accounting for 4.7%. Tuberculosis wounds were more prevalent in rural areas (163 cases, accounting for 69.4%), with a smaller number in urban areas (72 cases, accounting for 30.6%). The BCG vaccination rate was 13.6%. The main primary lesions were lymph node infection (112 cases, accounting for 47.7%), among which involvement of cervical lymph nodes accounted for the highest ratio ( 99 cases, accounting for 88.4%). Twenty-one patients had the traffic accident etc. injury history recently, among which 19 were male and 2 were female.
CONCLUSIONSTuberculosis wound, with certain incidence, was more frequently found among young adults from rural areas. The BCG vaccination rate was low among the patients and the main primary lesion was tuberculosis of cervical lymph nodes.

To systematically construct a guideline to provide a methodological guide for researchers to develop patient decision aids. Through a literature review of international methodological guidance for developing patient decision aids, sorting out the similarities and differences in the processes and methods for developing patient decision aids, and combining them with the topic discussion of the working group, the initial guideline was drafted. A total of 13 guidances was included, with the initial version containing 3 phases, 13 steps, and 48 points. We invited 19 multidisciplinary domain experts for forming consensus. The final version of the guideline contains 3 phases, 11 steps, and 24 points. The guideline has great potential to guide the development of patient decision aids in China and is expected to fill the methodological gap in the field. In the future, several rounds of pilot testing of the guideline based on specific decision issues will be conducted, and the guideline will be further revised and improved.

Objective To construct and validate a risk prediction model for enteral nutrition feeding intolerance(FI)in patients with severe cerebral hemorrhage based on machine learning algo-rithms.Methods The clinical data of 485 patients with cerebral hemorrhage admitted to the neuro-logical intensive care unit of Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were randomly divided into training set(n=339)and validation set(n=146)in a 7 to 3 ratio.Five machine learning algo-rithms were used to construct FI risk prediction models.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted,and the model with the best predictive performance was selected based on the area under the curve(AUC).A nomogram model was constructed based on the optimal model.The cali-bration curve and decision curve analysis(DCA)were used to evaluate the calibration and clinical net benefit of the nomogram model.Results The incidence of enteral nutrition FI in patients with se-vere cerebral hemorrhage was 38.4%(186/485).Among the five machine learning algorithm models,the Logistic regression model had the best predictive performance(AUC=0.88).The analysis results of the Logistic regression model showed that the use of diuretics,mechanical ventilation,Glasgow Coma Scale score≤5,vasoactive drugs,and albumin level<35 g/L were risk factors for enteral nutrition FI in patients with severe cerebral hemorrhage.A nomogram model was further constructed based on these five risk factors.The calibration curve analysis showed that the calibration curve fit-ted well with the ideal curve,indicating a high calibration degree of the nomogram model.The DCA results showed that when the threshold probability was 5%to 73%,the application of the nomogram model for screening could clinically benefit patients.Conclusion The construction of a nomogram model for predicting the risk of enteral nutrition FI in patients with severe cerebral hemorrhage based on machine learning methods can help to early screen high-risk patients for enteral nutrition FI and timely formulate preventive measures,thereby reducing the incidence of enteral nutrition FI in pa-tients with severe cerebral hemorrhage.
