Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) has been proved to be an effective psychological treatment method for depression,especially for mild-to-moderate depression,however,due to the influence of various factors,its application in patients with depression is limited.Studies abroad have confirmed self-help intervention based on CBT has good effects on patients with depression.By reviewing efficacy of self-help interventions based on CBT on depression,it can be known that most of the literatures support that self-help interventions based on CBT has good effects on depression.Related researches abroad have been more mature,but few similar studies have been conducted in our country.So self-help CBT for depression has broad prospects in our country,which can play an important role in the prevention and therapy of depression,alleviating the shortage of medical resources,and reducing the patients' medical expenses,etc.Based on bibliotherapy (a major form of self-help interventions based on CBT),future studies need to learn from foreign practice to expand the audience to the clinic,community and non-clinical patients,in order to provide advice for interventions for depression in China.

Objective To explore the safety and therapeutic effect of Xuebijing injection for treatment of patients with capillary leak syndrome (CLS).Methods Seventy-seven patients with clinical diagnosis of CLS admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from November 2015 to October 2016 were enrolled, they were divided into a control group (35 cases) and a Xuebijing group (42 cases) according to random number table method. The conventional treatment was given and at the same time the primary disease was actively treated in the control group; while in the Xuebijing group, on the basic treatment of the control group, additionally, Xuebijing injection 100 mL+ 0.9% normal saline (100 mL) was intravenously dripped, twice a day, 5 days constituting one therapeutic course. Before and after treatment for 5 days, the white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophils percentage (N), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), procalcitonin (PCT), pH value, partial pressure of blood oxygen (PaO2), blood lactic acid value (Lac), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), blood platelet count (PLT) in the patients of the two groups were compared; and the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score was recorded; the length of stay in ICU, mechanical ventilation time, and 28-day survival rate were statistically calculated in two groups.Results After treatment, the levels of WBC, N, PCT, ALT, AST, BUN, SCr, Lac, APACHE Ⅱ score in Xuebijing group were lower than those in the control group [WBC(×109/L): 9.85±0.61 vs. 13.87±2.58, N: 0.75±0.08 vs. 0.90±0.10, PCT (μg/L): 1.13±0.71 vs. 4.99±1.38, ALT (U/L): 79.56±30.85 vs. 84.21±27.32, AST (U/L): 91.98±38.10 vs. 110.28±35.79, BUN (mmol/L): 7.35±0.82 vs. 8.57±1.43, SCr (μmol/L): 111.67±43.96 vs. 132.51±55.10, Lac (mmol/L): 1.88±1.01 vs. 3.31±1.46, APACHE Ⅱ score: 11.34±3.59 vs. 17.65±4.77]; the PaO2, PLT, 28-day survival rate in Xuebijing group were higher than those in the control group [PaO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 75.47±21.10 vs. 54.22±15.23, PLT (×109/L): 211.54±58.25 vs. 153.27±49.69, 28-day survival rate: 85.71% (36/42) vs. 71.43% (25/35), allP < 0.05]; the PT, APTT, ICU hospitalization time and mechanical ventilation time in Xuebijing group were shorter than those in the control group [PT (s): 13.62±2.11 vs. 18.45±4.26, APTT (s): 31.33±4.27 vs. 36.85±5.56, length of stay in ICU (days): 12.4±3.7 vs. 20.5±4.1, mechanical ventilation time (days): 10.5±4.9 vs. 18.7±5.5, allP < 0.05].Conclusion The application of Xuebijing injection for treatment of patients with CLS can relieve their disease situation, reduce inflammatory indicators, improve the blood coagulation function and hypoxemia, shorten the ICU hospitalization time and mechanical ventilation time, elevate the 28-day survival rate, and has no harmful effects on liver and kidney functions.

BACKGROUND: Functional constipation (FC) might exert great influence on children in body and mental health, social-psychological development and long-term life quality. At present, there is not precise definition, clear classification, unite diagnostic standards and practicable systematic treatment project for FC in children. As a non-traumatic diagnostic means for chronic transiting constipation, gastrointestinal transit time (GTT) is considered as one of the objective indexes for dynamically observing gastrointestinal transit function, and has significance in the diagnosis of abnormal gastrointestinal dynamics, etiological investigation and therapeutic effect assessment.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the difference of GTT between constipation children and normal healthy control, so as to elicit its significance in assessing the dynamics of whole gastro-intestine and each segment.DESIGN: Case control comparative study based on FC children and healthy children.SETTING: Department of Pediatrics, Guangdong Provincial General Hospital, Chinese People's Armed Police Forces.PARTICIPANTS: This study was carried out at Pediatric Department of Guangdong Provincial General Hospital, Chinese People' s Armed Police Forces. Totally 28 children with confirmed FC in the General Hospital of Armed Police took part in the experiment, and 68 healthy children from a certain kindergarten and an elementary school in Guangdong province were selected as normal controls.METHODS: Whole gastrointestinal transit time(GTT), mouth-intestine transit time and colon transit time(CTT) were determined with plain abdominal photograph at 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after orally administrated of radio-opaque markers.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Whole GTT, mouth-intestine transit time and CTT, as well as right colonic transit time, left colonic transit time, rectosigmoid transit time.RESULTS: 50% whole gastrointestinal transit time, mouth-intestine transit time and CTT were[(23.6±1.6) vs (80.4±2.1) hours], [(9.9±1.4)vs(20.7±0.6) hours] and[(14.8±0.8) vs (59.9±2.3) hours] in constipation and healthy group respectively, with significant difference between them( P < 0.01 ) . Moreover there was statistical difference in right colon transit time, left colon transit time and rectosiqmoid transit time between two groups( P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: GTT of constipation children is obviously different from that of healthy children; it can be used for assessing the dynamics of whole gastrointestine and each segment, thereby possess practical significance in the diagnosis and therapeutic effect assessment of FC in children.Yang M, Wang BX, Wang MG.

Abstract On October 13 2023, the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Area Center for Disease Control and Prevention recAAAAAeived a report from a school indicating an outbreak of fever among students in Class 2, Grade 4. An on-site epidemiological investigation was immediately conducted. A total of 14 cases were reported, all of whom were students, with an attack rate of 34.15%. The onset of illness was concentrated between October 6 and 15, with the main clinical symptoms being fever, cough and fatigue. There were no cases of hospitalization, severe illness or death. Seven cases tested positive for Mycoplasma pneumoniae P1-Ⅱ. Based on the on-site investigation and laboratory test results, it was an outbreak of influenza-like illness caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. The likely cause of the spread was cases infecting other classmates through respiratory droplets while attending class. The outbreak occurred only in one class and did not spread to neighboring classes. Schools should actively carry out health education to raise awareness among parents for reporting infectious diseases, and strengthen morning and afternoon screenings to improve the sensitivity of identification.

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) has recently received much attention as a possible key determinant of progressive fibrosis. It promotes tissue fibrosis through different pathways, such as cell proliferation, extracellular matrix accumulation and cell transdifferentiation. A number of regulators of CTGF expression have been identified, including transforming growth factor ?, vascular endothelial growth factor, tumor necrosis factor ?, etc. The mechanism of profibrotic effect by CTGF was reviewed.
