Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC) has been a safe and viable alternative to conversion to laparotomy in cases of severe cholecystitis. The objective of this study is to determine the utility of intraoperative choledochoscopy in LSC for the exploration of the gallbladder, cyst duct, and subsequent stone clearance of the cystic duct in cases of severe cholecystitis. A total of 72 patients diagnosed with severe cholecystitis received choledochoscopy-assisted laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (CALSC). A choledochoscopy was performed to explore the gallbladder cavity and/or cystic duct, and to extract stones using a range of techniques. The clinical records, including the operative records and outcomes, were subjected to analysis. No LSC was converted to open surgery, and no bile duct or vascular injuries were sustained. All stones within the cystic duct were removed by a combination of techniques, including high-frequency needle knife electrotomy, basket, and electrohydraulic lithotripsy. A follow-up examination revealed the absence of residual bile duct stones, with the exception of one common bile duct stone, which was extracted via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. In certain special cases, CALSC may prove to be an efficacious treatment for the management of severe cholecystitis. This technique allows for optimal comprehension of the situation within the gallbladder cavity and cystic duct, facilitating the removal of stones from the cystic duct and reducing the residue of the non-functional gallbladder remnant.

The plants of the genus Caragana Fabr. are desert plants of the Leguminosae family, which are widely used in traditional ethnomedicine, with the effects of nourishing Yin and nourishing blood, dispelling wind and removing dampness, clearing heat and detoxifying toxins. The anti-inflammatory effect of Caragana Fabr. has attracted much attention, the research on the related mechanism has made some progress, but it lacks systematic collation. By summarising the anti-inflammatory effects of the active ingredients of Caragana Fabr., the authors found that they have good anti-inflammatory activities on different inflammatory cell models in vitro, and have good improvement effects on rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, complex nephritis, and acute lung injury and other disease models. The anti-inflammatory effects of the active components of this genus mainly include the reduction of the levels of a variety of pro-inflammatory factors, and the signalling pathways involved mainly include TLR4/NF-κB, TLR4/MAPK, TLR4/NF-κB/IRF3, JAK/STAT-1, ERK/STAT-1 and so on. Therefore, the paper mainly reviews the research progress on the anti-inflammatory effects and mechanisms of the Caragana Fabr. plants and their active components according to disease types, with a view to providing reference for the in-depth study of their anti-inflammatory activities and the development of new products with related functions.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for pharmaceutical care in patients with ulcerative colitis （UC） and ankylosing spondylitis （AS） who developed pustular psoriasis induced by infliximab. METHODS Clinical pharmacists participated in the pharmaceutical care process of a patient with UC and AS who developed pustular psoriasis after using infliximab. The clinical pharmacists determined， using Naranjo’s Scale， that the correlation between the patient’s pustular psoriasis and infliximab was “likely”. Regarding the patient’s development of pustular psoriasis after using infliximab， the clinical pharmacists recommended discontinuing infliximab and switching to Upadacitinib extended-release tablets. For the patient’s skin allergic reaction after using upadacitinib， the clinical pharmacists advised continuing the use of upadacitinib and closely monitoring any potential adverse reactions during the treatment period. RESULTS The clinicians adopted the clinical pharmacists’ recommendation. Following the treatment， the patient’s symptoms were significantly alleviated， and the patient was discharged with medication. The follow-up after discharge showed that the treatment was effective and well-tolerated. CONCLUSIONS The clinical pharmacists analyzed the causal relationship between infliximab and pustular psoriasis. Through pharmaceutical care measures such as dynamic monitoring of skin lesions， evaluation of treatment responses， and optimization of drug regimens， they assisted the physicians in formulating an individualized medication plan， ensuring the safety and efficacy of the patient’s medication use.

Objective:To deeply analyze the effect path of shared decision making(SDM)level on the quality of family doctor contracted service for multimorbidity among the elderly population,and to provide reference for promoting the health management of chronic diseases,improving the patient's medical experience and the quality of contracted service.Methods:A multi-stage random sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 599 elderly patients with multimorbidity and their corresponding 63 contracted doctors in Wuhan and Guiyang.The hierarchical regression model was used to analyze the effect of SDM level on the quality of contracted services.Results:The score of SDM in elderly patients with multimorbidity in the central and western regions of China was 32.07±6.46,and the score of family doctor contracted service quality was 95.20±8.73,among which the scores of economy and vertical continuity were lower.The results of hierarchical regression model analysis showed that the level of SDM had a positive impact on the quality of contracted services(β=0.369,P＜0.05),and family doctors had a positive moderating effect on the degree of trust in contracted patients(β=0.548,P＜0.05).Conclusion:The level of SDM and the quality of contract service for elderly patients with multimorbidity in the central and western regions of China are at a medium level and still need to be improved.Shared decision-making significantly improves the quality of contracted service.The degree of trust in contracted patients strengthens the positive effect of SDM on service quality.In the future,we should strengthen the SDM,standardize the referral service of patients with chronic diseases,strengthen the communication and trust between doctors and patients,and effectively improve the quality of family doctor contracted service.

Objective:To assess the clinical effect and safety of comprehensive therapy of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in the treatment of erectile dysfunction(ED)with damp-heat stasis.Methods:We selected 108 cases of ED with damp-heat stasis meeting the inclusion criteria and treated with tadalafil(the control group,n=54)or tadalafil+comprehensive TCM therapy(the trial group,n=54)in the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine in the same period.After 8 weeks of treatment,we recorded the patients'scores on IIEF-5,TCM syndrome,erectile quality(EQS),9-Item Patient Health Questionnaire(PHQ-9)and Generalized Anxiety Scale 7(GAD-7).At 16 weeks of our study,we collected the efficacy parameters,safety indicators and adverse reactions by telephone follow-up and compared the data obtained between the two groups of patients.Results:Totally,103 of the patients completed the study,51 in the control and 52 in the trial group.Compared with the baseline,the IIEF-5 and EQS scores were both markedly increased after 8 weeks of treatment in the trial group(12.35±3.00 vs 18.36±2.82,P＜0.05;39.5[30.25-43]vs 67.5[54.5-76.75],P＜0.05)and the control(11.96±2.79 vs 15.88±3.86,P＜0.05;38.0[29-42]vs 56[49-64],P＜0.05),even more significantly in the former than in the latter(P＜0.05);the TCM syndrome and GAD-7 scores were remarkably decreased in the trial(9.5[8-12]vs 4.0[2.25-5],P＜0.05;5[2.25-6.75]vs 2.5[1-4.75],P＜0.05)and the control group(10.0[8-12]vs 5.0[3-6],P＜0.05;5.0[3-6]vs 4.0[2-5],P＜0.05),even more signif-icantly in the former than in the latter(P＜0.05),so were the PHQ-9 scores(P＜0.05),but with no statistically significant differ-ence between the two groups(P＞0.05).The IIEF-5 scores of the two groups remained significantly higher than the baseline during the follow-up(P＜0.05),even higher in the trial than in the control group(17.04±2.60 vs 14.16±3.34,P＜0.05).No obvious abnormal safety indicators or adverse events were observed during the study.Conclusion:Comprehensive TCM therapy combined with tadalafil is superior to tadalafil alone in the treatment of ED with damp-heat stasis,and has a better long-term efficacy and a higher safety.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect and safety of electroacupuncture in the treatment of chronic prostati-tis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome(CP/CPPS).Methods:We searched the major Chinese and English databases of CNKI,Wan-fang Data,VIP,CBM,PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science and Embase for randomized controlled trials(RCT)on electroa-cupuncture or combination therapy in the treatment of CP/CPPS published from the establishment of the databases to August 2024.The dichotomous data and continuous data were represented by risk ratio(RR)and mean difference(MD)respectively,both with 95％confidence interval(CI).We analyzed the data with the Revman(v.5.4)software and assessed the quality of the evidence in each RCT using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment,Development and Evaluation system(GRADE).Results:Totally 17 RCTs were identified,involving 1 404 cases of CP/CPPS treated by electroacupuncture or combination of electroacupuncture with medication or with other therapies(the trial group)or by medication with Western or Chinese drugs alone(the control group).Compared with the control group,the trial group showed a significantly higher rate of clinical effectiveness(RR=1.25;95％CI:1.18-1.32;P＜0.05),decreased CPSI scores(MD=-4.56;95％CI:-5.01--4.11;P＜0.05),improved CPSI-pain,-urination and-quali-ty of life scores,and increased maximum and average urinary flow rates.And electroacupuncture did not increase the likelihood of ad-verse reactions.Conclusion:Medium-quality evidence suggests that electroacupuncture is beneficial complementary and alternative therapy for CP/CPPS,with a significant advantage in improving the NIH-CPSI scores of the patients.However,more high-quality multi-centered RCTs with larger sample sizes are still needed to further verify the effect of electroacupuncture on CP/CPPS.

Objective:Analysis of surgical strategies for atrial functional mitral regurgitation with atrial fibrillation.Methods:Retrospective analysis of 112 patients with mitral regurgitation and atrial fibrillation between June 2017 and January 2023. Among them, 56 cases were severe atrial functional mitral regurgitation with atrial fibrillation, and the other 56 cases were degenerative mitral regurgitation with atrial fibrillation. All patients underwent maze Ⅳ procedure and mitral valve surgery. Follow up will be conducted through outpatient follow-up and telephone calls. The condition of postoperative mitral valve is obtained through echo. The postoperative cardiac rhythm is based on the patient's conscious symptoms, electrocardiogram, 24 hour dynamic electrocardiogram.Results:The comparison of preoperative basic data shows that the age, duration of atrial fibrillation, and comorbidity of patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation are significantly higher than those in the degenerative mitral regurgitation group. All patients successfully completed the surgery. Postoperative death occurred in 2 cases in the atrial mitral regurgitation group. The causes of death were ARDS and pulmonary infection, respectively. The main postoperative complications include bleeding, low cardiac output, pulmonary infection, and acute kidney injury. During follow-up, 43 patients (79.6%) in the atrial mitral regurgitation group maintained sinus rhythm, while 49 patients (87.5%) in the degenerative group. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the Kaplan- Meier curves. In the atrial mitral regurgitation group, there were 47 cases with no mitral regurgitation, 4 cases with mild regurgitation, and 1 case with moderate regurgitation. In the degenerative group, there were 42 cases with no mitral regurgitation, 6 cases with mild regurgitation, 1 case with moderate regurgitation, and 1 case with severe regurgitation. The risk for atrial fibrillation recurrence in the atrial mitral regurgitation is related to postoperative left atrial diameter greater than 50 mm, while in the degenerative group, atrial fibrillation recurrence is related to postoperative left atrial diameter greater than 50 mm and residual mitral regurgitation. Conclusion:Mitral valve repair combined with maze Ⅳ procedure is an effective treatment for patients with severe atrial functional mitral regurgitation and atrial fibrillation. Further improving the success rate of atrial fibrillation and reducing surgical trauma will benefit patients in the future.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) in the Nanshan District of Shenzhen City from 2019 to 2022 and to provide a scientific basis for HFMD prevention in the area.Methods:Epidemiological data on HFMD in Shenzhen Nanshan District from 2019 to 2022 in the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention were analyzed using descriptive research methods.Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to analyze the etiology characteristics of clinical specimens from HFMD patients. The VP1 gene of the dominant pathogen coxsackievirus A6 (CV-A6) was amplified and sequenced. SepMan Pro of DNASTAR software was used for sequence assembly and MegAlign was used for nucleotide homology analysis.Results:A total of 13 195 HFMD cases were reported in Shenzhen Nanshan District from 2019 to 2022, with an average annual incidence rate of 186.18/100, 000. Summer and autumn are the main onset seasons and children under 7 years old were the main population, accounting for 93.1%. The male-to-female ratio is 1.44∶1. A total of 451 clinical HFMD specimens were detected in the laboratory, including 403 positive (87.36%) and 48 negative (10.64%). The main pathogens were CV-A6 (63.03%), coxsackievirus A16 (CV-A16) (27.79%), coxsackievirus A4 (CV-A4) (4.71%), coxsackievirus A10 (CV-A10) (1.99%), Echovirus 11 (Echo-11) (0.25%), and uncertain type accounted for 2.23%, with no detection for enterovirus71 (EV71) type. The nucleotide homology of the 13 CV-A6 strains ranged from 94.0%?99.6%, and the nucleotide homology with the prototype strain Gdula ranged 84.1%?85.8%. The results of phylogenetic tree showed that all 13 CV-A6 strains in Nanshan District were of the D3a genotype.Conclusions:FHFMD in Nanshan District of Shenzhen City in 2019-2022 shows obvious differences in population and time distribution. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen publicity and education on HFMD prevention and control in the summer and fall seasons and among key populations. CV-A6 and CV-A16 are the dominant strains of HFMD in Nanshan District, Shenzhen in recent years, so the monitoring of the dominant strains should be improved.
