Objective To explore the optimal ratio of Baitong decoction based on efficacy,clarify its spectrum-effect relationship,and identify its potential quality markers.Methods An ulcerative colitis(UC)model in mice was established using dextran sulfate sodium.The efficacy of Baitong decoction with varying drug ratios was assessed by evaluating the apparent score,pathological score and inflammatory factor changes of UC in each group of experimental animals.The fingerprints of Baitong decoction with different ratios were established by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC),and the relationship between the content of each substance and its efficacy was analyzed by partial least squares regression to determine the potential quality markers of Baitong decoction.Results Baitong decoction was most effective in relieving ulcerative colitis when the mass ratio of Fuzi,Ganjiang and Congbai was 1∶2∶2.The fingerprinting identified 14 common peaks across 7 ratios,with 9 peaks were found to be associated with the remission of ulcerative colitis by partial least squares regression analysis.Conclusion The optimal ratio of Fuzi,Ganjiang and Congbai for treating UC is 1∶2∶2.The spectrum-effect relationship analysis suggested that the quality markers of Baitong decoction may be the substances represented by peak 2(benzoylaconine),3,5,6,8(mesaconine),9(aconitine),10(hypaconitine),13(10-gingerol)and 14.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of Tai Chi and Qigong on patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods: Relevant data were retrieved from nine English and Chinese databases, including Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Wanfang Data, etc. from inception to June 2024. All published randomized controlled trials assessing the effect of Tai Chi and Qigong on visual analog scale (VAS), Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, and other health indicators in participants with LDH compared to usual medical care or other treatments were included. Grey literature, trials involving the pushing of hands (Tui Shou) or Tai Chi with weapons, and trials with co-interventions (Tai Chi/Qigong plus another treatment) were excluded. Methodological quality was analyzed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool, and evidence quality was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) tool. Results: Fourteen trials (954 patients) were included in this study. Tai Chi and Qigong were associated with lower VAS pain scores (standardized mean difference −0.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] −0.95 to −0.15, P = .01), higher JOA scores (mean difference [MD] 4.40, 95% CI 2.62 to 6.18, P < .001) and straight leg raise test results (MD 9.40°, 95% CI 7.64 to 11.15, P < .001) in patients with LDH. Furthermore, compared with usual care, Tai Chi and Qigong showed enhanced effects on pain and JOA scores. When compared to other exercises or massage, the effect on pain scores was similar but that on JOA scores was significant. Conclusions Tai Chi and Qigong may have favorable effects on VAS pain and JOA scores compared with usual care, and on JOA scores compared with other exercises or massage in patients with LDH. Given the overall poor quality of the evidence, the results of current study should be interpreted cautiously.

Objective To investigate the antibacterial effect and its preliminary mechanism of lavender essential oil on multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.Methods Micro-dilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC)of lavender essential oil against multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii,and bactericidal kinetic study was employed to determine the onset and maintenance time of lavender essential oil.Meanwhile,the promoting and therapeutic effects of lavender essential oil on wound healing were observed in a mouse model of infection.Subsequently,crystal violet staining was used to determine the inhibition and clearance of multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii biofilm by lavender essential oil,and laser confocal microscopy was utilized to observe the survival of bacteria in biofilms.NanoDrop instrument was utilized to quantify the leakage of bacterial DNA nucleic acid and protein after intervention with 3 and 6 mg/mL lavender essential oil,and the leakage of bacterial potassium ion was measured by potassium ion test kit.Proteomics technology combined with bio-informatics were applied to explore the action mechanism of lavender essential oil against multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.Results The MIC and MBC of lavender essential oil were both 6 mg/mL,which could kill almost all multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii at the time point of 120 min,and showed an obvious dose-and time-dependent manner.The overall animal model evaluation showed that both 3 and 6 mg/mL lavender essential oil could promote wound healing,and the curative effect was obvious.Further studies confirmed that 3 mg/mL lavender essential oil had a certain biofilm inhibitory effect on multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii,and 6 mg/mL also had a certain biofilm clearance effect under the same conditions.Meanwhile,when incubated at 37℃ for 1 h,the dose of 3 mg/mL could increase the leakage of DNA nucleic acid and protein,and significantly promote the efflux of potassium ions.Proteomic analysis suggested that the antibacterial effect of lavender essential oil may be related to affecting the oxidorereductase activity and cell metabolic process of multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii,and interfering with the biosynthesis of cell wall/membrane/envelope and other structures.Conclusion Lavender essential oil at 3 mg/mL can play an antibacterial effect against multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii,and its mechanism may be related to the destruction of bacterial biofilm and interference with bacterial metabolism.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and a major contributor to disability worldwide. Since the majority of cardiovascular events are preventable, identification of modifiable CVD risk factors and implementation of primordial prevention strategies should be a public health priority. In this aspect, the American Heart Association declared a strategic goal to reduce total CVD mortality in the US by 20% within 10 years via eliminating 7 major CVD risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, cigarette smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, and poor-quality diet) in 2010, and their strategy has been achieving. However, the applicability of similar metrics to prevent CVD among East Asians requires an in-depth investigation of the modifiable CVD risk factors based on national and regional evidence-based findings. Herein, this review article aims to discuss several modifiable risk factors for CVDs, using epidemiological evidence from cohort studies and nationally representative data of 2 East Asian countries: Korea and Japan.

Objective:To analyse the clinical presentation and pathogenic gene mutations of a family diagnosed with primary familial brain calcification (PFBC).Methods:A pedigree with primary familial brain calcification was recruited. The clinical data of the proband who was admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University in March 2020 and the family members were collected. The DNA sequence of myogenesis regulating glycosidase (MYORG) gene was detected by Sanger sequencing in the proband and some available family members.Results:The proband is a male, 30 years old. There was only one patient of PFBC in this family. The first symptom of the proband was vagueness of speech, and gradually extrapyramidal symptoms such as slow and flexible movement and advanced cognitive impairment appeared. The brain CT of the proband and his second brother showed extensive symmetrical calcifications, mainly located in the bilateral cerebellar hemispheres, basal ganglia and thalamus. A homozygous mutation in the exon 2 of the MYORG gene [c.1967T>C(p.I656T)] was identified in the proband and an asymptomatic patient. The heterozygous mutation of MYORG gene was also detected in four healthy family members.Conclusions:All patients with homozygous mutations of MYORG gene showed calcification in CT scan, and most of the lesions were located in basal ganglia, cerebellum, subcortical white matter and thalamus. Compared with the patients with autosomal dominant gene mutation, the patients with MYORG gene mutation had more extensive intracranial calcification lesions, and the pontocerebellar lesions were more common. The most common symptoms of MYORG gene mutation patients were dyskinesia, mainly tremor paralysis and unclear speech.

Objective:To explore the effects of magnanimous therapy on the magnanimous and enterprising traits of lung cancer patients and the analysis of related factors.Methods:Totally 197 patients with lung cancer were divided into individual group ( n=62), team group ( n=75) and control group ( n=60). Comparison and correlation analysis were applied to the data before and after the electroencephalogram and the magnanimous questionnaire, the cancer response questionnaire, the T-type psychological scale, the cancer heart state questionnaire and the cancer patient's life function index scale. t test, analysis of variance and Pearson correlation analysis were processed by SPSS 23.0. Results:After treatment, the " enterprising" dimension and " magnanimous" dimension of individual group and the " enterprising" dimension of the team group ((3.035±0.309), (3.041±0.265), (3.173±0.371)) were higher than that before treatment((2.934±0.326), (2.908±0.315), (3.130±0.387), all P<0.05). There was negative correlation between " magnanimous" dimension of the magnanimous questionnaire and " subconscious" dimension of the T-type psychological scale in individual group( r=-0.280, P<0.05). In team group, the " enterprising" dimension of the magnanimous questionnaire was negatively correlated with " Psychological" and " Yield" dimension of the cancer heart state questionnaire( r=-0.279, -0.285, P<0.05), and positively correlated with " Facing" of the cancer response questionnaire, " Good physical condition and ability" and " Psychological well-being" dimension of the cancer patient's life function index scale( r=0.367, 0.402, 0.379, P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between the " enterprising" dimension of the magnanimous questionnaire and the beta wave value in individual group. Conclusion:The magnanimous therapy can improve enterprising and magnanimous level of patients with lung cancer, and the effects are related with the above-mentioned psychosomatic factors.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the rational use of antibiotics in outpatients who had genital tract Mycoplas-ma infections in Yulin area. METHODS:Using the integration culture plate,19 836 outpatient's specimens with suspected Myco-plasma infection from Yulin Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital during 2012 to 2014 were tested,and then the results of drug susceptibility test were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS:In the total of 19 836 inspected specimens,5 640 cases were positive with the rate of 28.4%. The positive rate of Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu),Mycoplasma hominis(Mh),mixed(Uu+ Mh)infection were 88.0%,3.8% and 8.2% respectively. The positive rate of male patient with Mycoplasma infection was lower than female pa-tient(P<0.05). Male and female patients with positive maximum age respectively at the age of 25 to 40 (81.3%) and 20 to 35 years old(78.6%). From 2012 to 2014,Mycoplasma showed different degree of drug resistance to 9 kinds of antibiotics. In gener-al,the resistance rate of Uu to lincocin was close to 100%,Mh to erythromycin,roxithromycin and azithromycin were higher than 70%,and those of Uu+Mh were lower than 10% only to josamcine,minocycline and doxycycline. CONCLUSIONS:During 2012 to 2014,the rate of genital tract Mycoplasma infection in male and female outpatients of Yulin region increased year by year,and the infection mainly caused by Uu with a serious drug resistance. We should also pay attentions to the increase of Mh infection and mixed infection. Josamycin,minocycline and doxcycline can be used as a drug choice for empiric preferred treatment,and other an-tibiotics should be used based on antibiotics susceptibility test results.
