Perimenopausal syndrome （MPS）， a common endocrine system disease， is one of the diseases responding specifically to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The China Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in endocrinology， gynecology， and interdisciplinary fields of both Western and Chinese medicine to discuss the advantages and challenges of diagnosing and treating MPS with Western medicine， TCM， and integrative medicine. Experts at the conference believe that MPS is initiated by estrogen decline and rooted in deficiency， with the pathogenesis being imbalance between Yin and Yang in the kidney. The hormone replacement therapy in Western medicine for menopause can rapidly alleviate related symptoms by quickly restoring the estrogen level and timely detect and delay complications of menopause， whereas such a therapy has certain risks， necessitating close monitoring of adverse reactions. Moreover， the various contraindications and precautions limit the clinical application of the hormone replacement therapy. TCM has advantages in synergistically alleviating symptoms such as hot flashes， sweating， sleep disorders， and emotional abnormalities of MPS without causing obvious adverse reactions. However， its efficacy is slower than the hormone replacement therapy， and the TCM evidence for preventing and treating complications of menopause remains unclear. Three suggestions were proposed for the future development of both Western and TCM for ameliorating MPS. First， an integrated diagnosis and treatment system for MPS with both Western and Chinese medicine should be established. Second， high-quality evidence-based interventions for MPS should be developed with TCM alone or in combination with Western medicine. Third， efforts should be made to promote the new TCM drug development and the interdisciplinary cooperation for treating MPS.

Secondary metabolites of medicinal plants are extremely important to human health because of their special pharmacological activities or efficacy. They are the main source of drugs, health care products, and cosmetics. As human beings continue to pursue health and longevity, the demand in the pharmaceutical market continues to grow. It becomes especially important to improve the production and quality of secondary metabolites of medicinal plants. Plant secondary metabolites are a kind of adaptation of plants to their environment and are the result of the interaction between plants and biotic and abiotic factors during the long-term evolution process. The production and accumulation of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants are mainly affected by plant genetic factors and environmental factors. Among them, light environment is extremely important for their synthesis. Therefore, light regulation has long been a research focus for many scholars in China and abroad. In this article, we the recent research progress on the effects of light regulation on the secondary metabolites of medicinal plants were reviewed, mainly focusing on the effects of light quality, light intensity and photoperiod, in order to provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for the efficient production of secondary metabolites with important pharmacological activities.

Objective:To carry out evidence-based nursing for standardized management of stress hyperglycemia in perioperative period of gastrointestinal tumor patients, and to formulate indicators, analyze obstacles and promoting factors, formulate action strategies.Methods:Guided by the Johns Hopkins evidence-based nursing model, evidence were searched, evaluated and summarized. Clinical indicators and review methods were formulated to carry out quality review. From November 2021 to April 2022, the medical staff and patients in the gastrointestinal surgery department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University who met the inclusion criteria were conducted, and the incidence of compliance rate was calculated. Based on the results of the baseline review, the obstacles and contributing factors were analyzed.Results:A total of 26 pieces of best evidence were included and 14 indicators were formulated for 48 medical staff and 45 patients to clinical review, among which the compliance rate of 7 indicators was less than 60%. The main obstacle factors were lack of procedures and instruments for management of perioperative stress hyperglycemia in gastrointestinal tumor patients, lack of knowledge of medical staff, etc. The main promoting factors were organizational support, good atmosphere of medical team cooperation, strong willingness to change, etc.Conclusions:There is a big gap between the clinical practice and the best evidence of perioperative stress hyperglycemia management in patients with gastrointestinal tumor. Action strategies should be put forward for obstacles and promoting factors to promote evidence transformation.

Objective:To describe the characteristics, etiology and patterns of outpatients and inpatients patients with moderate or severe valvular heart disease (VHD).Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. Outpatients and inpatients with moderate or severe VHD who underwent transthoracic echocardiography for first examination from 1 st January 2001 to 1 st January 2020 in Southwest Hospital, Army Medical University were enrolled. Data were collected from medical records and big data platform of Southwest Hospital. Characteristics of age and gender, etiology and types of VHD were descriptively analysed. Results:A total of 68 354 patients with moderate or severe VHD were enrolled. The age was 63 (50, 72) years. And 35 706 (52.24%) patients were female. (1) Age characteristics: There was similar age trend between male and female patients with moderate or severe VHD. The number of patients increased firstly and then decreased and reached its peak in the age group of 65-69 years old. The peak age of mitral stenosis patients was 45-49 years, which was earlier than that of whole patients with moderate or severe VHD. The median age of patients with bicuspid aortic valve was 42 years. (2) Gender characteristics: The proportion of tricuspid regurgitation, pulmonary regurgitation, mitral regurgitation, mitral stenosis and valve surgery in female patients with moderate or severe VHD were higher than those in male patients. The proportion of aortic regurgitation, aortic stenosis and bicuspid aortic valve in male patients with moderate or severe VHD were significantly higher than those in female patients (all P<0.05). (3) Etiology: The proportion of rheumatic VHD was 13.07% (8 934/68 354), which was higher than that of degenerative VHD (0.67% (458/68 354)). (4) Types of VHD: Tricuspid regurgitation made contribution to the largest proportion with 60.72% (41 503/68 354), followed by mitral regurgitation, aortic regurgitation, mitral stenosis, pulmonary regurgitation and aortic stenosis. Conclusions:There are certain regional characteristics in the prevalence of moderate or severe VHD in southwest China, suggesting different attention should be paid on the whole process of refined management of moderate or severe VHD.

Objective:To develop the Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Scale for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), and test its reliability and validity.Methods:Guided by the theory of knowledge, attitude, and practice, a preliminary draft of the scale was formed through literature review, Delphi expert consultation, and pre-survey. From May to August 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 200 IBD patients who visited the Gastroenterology Clinic of three ClassⅢ Grade A comprehensive hospitals in Jiangsu Province as the research subject for a questionnaire survey. The critical ratio method, correlation analysis method, internal consistency method, commonality and factor loadings were used for item analysis of the scale. Exploratory factor analysis, content validity index, and internal consistency reliability were applied to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed, and 181 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 90.50% (181/200). The Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Scale for Patients with IBD included three dimensions of knowledge, attitude and practice, with a total of 21 items. The content validity index at the scale level was 0.917, and the content validity index at the item level ranged from 0.833 to 1.000. Exploratory factor analysis extracted three common factors, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 74.197%. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the total scale was 0.951, and the coefficients of each dimension were 0.914 to 0.942. The test-retest reliability coefficient of the total scale was 0.918, and the test-retest reliability coefficients of each dimension ranged from 0.737 to 0.833.Conclusions:The Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Scale for Patients with IBD has good reliability and validity, which can help medical and nursing staff evaluate patients' understanding and acceptance of microbial transplantation, so as to provide a basis for personalized communication in shared decision making between doctors and patients.

Objective:To observe the clinical and imaging features of patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) complicated with retinal artery occlusion (RAO).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. Fifteen patients with 15 eyes with RVO combined with RAO and macular edema diagnosed by ophthalmology examination in the Department of Ophthalmology, First People's Hospital of Xianyang City during 2 years from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2024 were included in the study. Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) combined with branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) occurred in 3 cases and 3 eyes. Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) complicated with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) in 12 eyes. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, scanning laser ophthalmoscope, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) and serum homocysteine were all performed. OCT angiography (OCTA) was performed in 6 eyes. All eyes were treated with intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs. After the initial 1 treatment, dosage was assessed as needed. Follow-up was performed every month for 12 months after treatment. FFA inspection was performed at 3 months. During follow-up, it was found that there were no perfusion areas of capillaries, and retinal laser photocoagulation therapy was given in time. Fundus manifestations, FFA, OCT, OCTA characteristics and causes of disease were analyzed retrospectively.Results:There were 15 eyes in 15 cases, 9 eyes in 9 males; 6 women with 6 eyes. Age was (61.0±9.7) years. All complained of painless vision loss in one eye. All eyes were positive for relative afferent pupillary disorder. Contralateral congenital optic disc defect was in 1 case; hypertension was in 6 cases; hyperhomocysteinemia was in 2 cases; cerebral infarction was in 3 cases; coronary heart disease was in 1 case. CRVO combined with CRAO was in 12 eyes BCVA light sensitivity-0.25. The BCVA of BRVO combined with BRAO were 0.1, 0.4 and 0.25, respectively. All the patients had retinal edema in the posterior pole of the eye, venous sinuous, dilated, thin arteries and stiff shape. The retina presents with flaky or flame-like bleeding. Posterior polar retinal lint patch was in 13 eyes. In 12 eyes with CRVO combined with CRAO, optic disc edema was observed and the boundary was not clear. In 3 eyes with BRVO combined with BRAO, no obvious abnormality was found in the optic disc, and the boundary was clear. FFA examination showed no or prolonged arterial filling, delayed retinal vein laminar flow, relatively slow or even no capillary filling, macular arteriole atretosis to varying degrees, arch ring structure destruction, optic disc telangiectasia and fluorescein leakage. OCT examination showed that the middle and inner layers of the retina were thickened to varying degrees, the diffuse reflex was enhanced, the interlayer structure was unclear, and the reflex of the lower retinal tissue was weakened. The blood flow density of superficial capillary plexus and deep capillary plexus (DCP) decreased in 6 eyes undergoing OCTA examination. Decreased or interrupted blood flow in the vascular bed of DCP. During the follow-up period, there were 13 eyes with no perfusion area of retinal capillary. The time of occurrence was (1.14±0.95) (0-2) months, and the area was 10-75 disc area. Optic nerve atrophy occurred in 5 eyes. At the last follow-up, visual acuity increased, unchanged and decreased in 12, 2 and 1 eyes, respectively.Conclusions:The pathogenesis of RVO-RAO is complicated. Most RVO and RAO occurred simultaneously, and a few RVO occurred several days after RAO. Although the RAO manifestations are not typical, the radiographic features are both RVO and RAO. Compared with BVRO combined with BRAO, the prognosis of visual acuity in CRAO patients with CRVO is worse.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of sacubitril valsartan in the treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in children. Methods A total of 19 hospitalized children with DCM were retrospectively selected as study subjects. All patients received captopril combined with conventional anti-heart failure therapy for 1 to 4 weeks, but due to ineffective treatment, they were switched to treatment of sacubitril valsartan. Clinical data, biochemical indicators, and echocardiographic findings were collected to assess changes in clinical symptoms and related indicators after 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month sacubitril valsartan treatment. Information on the dosage and administration of sacubitril valsartan, as well as the occurrence of adverse reactions was collected. Results Among 19 patients, there were 8 males and 11 females, with a median age of 3 years. Heart function was classified as grade Ⅱ in 2 patients, grade Ⅲ in 10 patients, and grade Ⅳ in 7 patients. At the final follow-up, the efficacy assessment showed significant improvement in 8 patients, effective improvement in 6 patients, and no improvement in 5 patients, with a total effective rate of 73.7%. After 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month sacubitril valsartan treatment, the levels of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were lower, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was higher, and left ventricular diastolic diameter (LVDd)-Z value was smaller compared with those before treatment (P < 0.05). The initial single dose of sacubitril valsartan was 0.8 mg/kg, and the average maintenance dose was 1.7 mg/kg, administered twice daily. After treatment, 1 patient developed hypotension, and 5 patients exhibited mild abnormalities in renal function indicators (of which 4 recovered to normal levels after tolerance). Conclusion Sacubitril valsartan can effectively improve heart failure symptoms and cardiac function indicators in children with DCM, but close monitoring of blood pressure and renal function changes is required during treatment.

Objective To explore the anti-tumor mechanism of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) by network pharmacology and reverse molecular docking techniques. Methods The main chemical components of saffron were obtained by searching published literature and TCMSP database. The potential targets of these components were predicted using PharmMapper server. The corresponding target genes were identified from UniProt database. The underlying anti-tumor targets of saffron were obtained by mapping the disease genes of cancer or tumor with GeneCards, OMIM and TTD databases. Cytoscape software was used to construct the action target network of saffron active components. The protein-protein interaction analysis was performed by String database, and the GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed by Metascape platform. Finally, molecular docking was performed to evaluate the binding of main components with their potential targets. Results A total of 9 active ingredients in saffron including quercetin, kaempferol, isorhamnetin, picrocrocin and crocin I, were identified, which might act on 37 key targets including AKT1, CCND1, MMP9, EGFR, TP53, involved in P53, TNF and other signaling pathways. Molecular docking indicated modest binding potency through hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions. Conclusion The anti-tumor effect of saffron was evaluated via the network of components-targets-pathways, which might provide a foundation for further research.

【Objective】 To explore the current status of positive psychological qualities among college students who had participated in voluntary blood donation in Changsha area, so as to demonstrate that scientific blood donation can promote mental health. 【Methods】 From May to June 2022, 1 440 college students in Changsha was selected as the research subjects by stratified random sampling method. They were divided into groups based on their experience of blood donation. A questionnaire survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese College Student Positive Psychological Product Quality Scale, and the Repeated Blood Donation Behavior Survey Scale. 【Results】 There were differences in the six dimensions of positive psychological quality among different family and friends in terms of their support for blood donation, blood donation status among different family members, understanding of voluntary blood donation knowledge (P<0.05). There were differences in positive psychological qualities among different levels of blood reimbursement experiences (cognitive dimension, moderation dimension, transcendence dimension), different blood donation times (moderation dimension, interpersonal dimension), different blood donation volumes (moderation dimension, fairness dimension), different comprehensive blood donation experiences (moderation dimension, transcendence dimension, interpersonal dimension, emotional dimension) and reasons for blood donation (cognitive dimension, moderation dimension, interpresonal dimension, emotional dimension, fairness dimension)(P<0.05). The positive psychological quality of college students was positively correlated with their intention to repeat blood donation behavior (P<0.01), and the difference was statistically significant. 【Conclusion】 The positive psychological quality of college students with blood donation experience in Changsha surpassed those without blood donation experience, and their positive psychological quality was positively correlated to their intention to repeated blood donation. Therefore, it is recommended to encourage voluntary blood donation among college students.

Objective:To explore the application and effect of peri-operative recovery-quality-directed teaching reform for clinical internship training of anesthesiology.Methods:A total of 60 interns of five-year program anesthesiology from the Department of Anesthesiology of Chongqing Medical University were recruited for this teaching reform and randomly allocated to teaching reform group ( n=30) and control group ( n=30). Students in control group received conventional training for internship of clinical anesthesiology and follow-up, while students in teaching reform group received additional recovery-quality-directed clinical rounds per teaching week and patients discussed in those rounds were followed up until 30 days after operation. At the end of internship, teaching satisfaction, graduation test scores and patients' satisfaction were compared. SPSS 21.0 was used for t test. Results:Compared with those students in control group, interns in teaching reform group had significantly higher scores on teaching satisfaction [(9.1±1.3) vs. (6.7±1.9), P<0.05], graduation test scores [(80.0±5.0) vs. (67.0±6.0), P<0.05] and patients' satisfaction [(92.0±6.0) vs. (83.0±11.0), P<0.05]. Conclusion:Recovery-quality-directed peri-operative teaching reform can enhance the professional identity and sense of responsibility of anesthesiology students, improve their teaching satisfaction and theoretical knowledge level, and improve the satisfaction of related patients with anesthesia services.
