ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of hot ironing with Haitongpi Formula (海桐皮方, HF) in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) of cold-dampness obstruction type. MethodsA total of 70 patients with cold-dampness obstruction type LDH were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, with 35 cases in each group. Both groups received three movements technique of Qinggong Spinal Manipulation (QSM) as the basis for treatment. In addition, the treatment group received hot ironing with HF, while the control group applied Diclofenac Sodium Gel externally. The treatment duration for both groups was 14 days. The clinical efficacy was compared between groups. Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, pain pressure threshold (PPT) for lumbar positive response points, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores were compared, on day 7, and day 14 of treatment, as well as on day 7 and day 14 of follow-up. The lumbar curvature index (LCI) was also compared before treatment and on day 14 of treatment. Adverse reactions during the study were recorded for both groups. ResultsA total of 35 patients in the treatment group and 34 patients in the control group were included for final analysis. The clinical total effective rate of the treatment group (91.43%, 32/35) was significantly higher than that of the control group (82.35%, 28/34, P<0.05). Both the JOA score and PPT of the two groups increased on day 7 and day 14 of treatment, and on day 7 and day 14 of follow-up. VAS scores and TCM symptom scores both decreased. The LCI of both groups increased on day 14 of treatment (P<0.01). Compared with the control group at the same time points, on day 14 of treatment and day 7 and day 14 of follow-up, the treatment group had higher JOA scores and PPT, and lower VAS scores and TCM symptom scores. The LCI of the treatment group increased on day 14 of treatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01). One case in the control group showed mild skin allergy, with no other adverse reactions observed in either group. ConclusionBased on three movements technique of QSM, hot ironing with HF shows better clinical efficacy than external Diclofenac Sodium Gel in the treatment of cold-dampness obstruction type LDH. It can significantly reduce lumbar pain, increase pain pressure threshold, improve clinical symptoms, lumbar function, and lumbar curvature, with good safety.

ObjectiveTo analyze the data structure and standards of rehabilitation outpatient medical records, to provide data support for improving the quality of rehabilitation outpatient care and developing medical insurance payment policies. MethodsBased on the normative documents issued by the National Health Commission, Basic Standards for Medical Record Writing and Standards for Electronic Medical Record Sharing Documents, in accordance with the Quality Management Regulations for Outpatient (Emergency) Diagnosis and Treatment Information Pages (Trial), reference to the framework of the World Health Organization Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs), the data framework and content of rehabilitation outpatient medical records were determined, and the data standards were discussed. ResultsThis study constructed a data framework for rehabilitation outpatient medical records, including four main components: patient basic information, visit process information, diagnosis and treatment information, and cost information. Three major reference classifications of WHO-FICs, International Classification of Diseases, International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, and International Classification of Health Interventions,were used to establish diagnostic standards and standardized terminology, as well as coding disease diagnosis, functional description, functional assessment, and rehabilitation interventions, to improve the quality of data reporting, and level of quality control in rehabilitation. ConclusionThe structuring and standardization of rehabilitation outpatient medical records are the foundation for sharing of rehabilitation data. The using of the three major classifications of WHO-FICs is valuable for the terminology and coding of disease diagnosis, functional description and assessment, and intervention in rehabilitation outpatient medical records, which is significant for sharing and interconnectivity of rehabilitation outpatient data, as well as for optimizing the quality and safety of rehabilitation medical services.

ObjectiveTo explore the standardization of inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet, encompassing its structure, content and data standards, to enhance the standardization level of inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet, improve data reporting quality, and provide accurate data support for medical insurance payment, hospital performance evaluation, and rehabilitation discipline evaluation. MethodsBased on the relevant specifications of the National Health Commission's Basic Norms for Medical Record Writing, Specifications for Sharing Documents of Electronic Medical Records, and Quality Management and Control Indicators for Inpatient Medical Record Summary Sheet (2016 Edition), this study analyzed the structure and content of the inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet. The study systematically applied the three major reference classifications of the World Health Organization Family of International Classifications, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10/ICD-11, ICD-9-CM-3), International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), and International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI Beta-3), for disease diagnosis, functional description and assessment, and rehabilitation intervention, forming a standardized terminology system and coding methods. ResultsThe inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet covered four major sections: inpatient information, hospitalization information, diagnosis and treatment information, and cost information. ICD-10/ICD-11 were the standards and coding tools for admission and discharge diagnoses in the inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet. The three functional assessment tools recommended by ICD-11, the 36-item version of World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0, Brief Model Disability Survey and Generic Functioning domains, as well as ICF, were used for rehabilitation functioning assessment and the coding of outcomes. ICHI Beta-3 and ICD-9-CM-3 were used for coding surgical procedures and operations in the medical record summary sheet, and also for coding rehabilitation intervention items. ConclusionThe inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet is a summary of the relevant content of the rehabilitation medical record and a tool for reporting inpatient rehabilitation data. It needs to be refined and optimized according to the characteristics of rehabilitation, with necessary data supplemented. The application of ICD-11/ICD-10, ICF and ICHI Beta-3/ICD-9-CM-3 classification standards would comprehensively promote the accuracy of inpatient diagnosis of diseases and functions. Based on ICD-11 and ICF, relevant functional assessment result data would be added, and ICHI Beta-3/ICD-9-CM-3 should be used to code rehabilitation interventions. Improving the quality of rehabilitation medical records and inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet is an important part of rehabilitation quality control, and also lays an evidence-based data foundation for the analysis and application of inpatient rehabilitation medical record summary sheet.

This article systematically analyzes the historical evolution of the name, origin, medicinal parts, harvesting, processing and others of Chrysanthemi Indici by referring to the herbal medicine, medical books, prescription books and other documents of the past dynasties, combined with the relevant modern research materials, in order to provide a basis for the development of famous classical formulas containing this medicinal herb. According to the research, Chrysanthemi Indici was first recorded under the name Kuyi in Bencao Jingjizhu, with aliases such as Yeshanju, Huangjuzai and Lubianju. The botanical source of Chrysanthemi Indici throughout history was Chrysanthemum indicum of the Asteraceae family. It is now distributed in most areas of China, and since the Qing dynasty, the product from Suichang, Zhejiang has been highly regarded. The whole plant can be used as medicine. According to the natural growth laws, the roots were collected in the first lunar month, leaves in the third, stems in the fifth, flowers in the ninth, and fruits in the eleventh, all of which were dried in the shade. In modern times, Chrysanthemi Indici is harvested during their initial blooming in autumn and winter. Since Bencao Gangmu listed Chrysanthemi Indici as a single medicinal material and clarified that all parts have medicinal value, ancient herbal texts began to record the independent medicinal use of Chrysanthemi Indici Flos, and the use of flowers as medicine has become mainstream. In modern times, the quality of Chrysanthemi Indici Flos is summarized to be best when they are dry, yellow, complete, and fragrant. Because Chrysanthemi Indici has a bitter and pungent taste, and is warm, it can eliminate and disperse, often using the power of alcohol to reach and ascend, and is commonly used to treat carbuncles, boils, and scrofula, with consistent properties and effects throughout ancient and modern times. Based on the research results, it is suggested that Chrysanthemi Indici involved in the formulas can be used as C. indicum, which can be used according to the medicinal parts labeled in the original formulas and the requirements of processing, while those without clear medicinal parts and requirements of processing should be used as the whole plant of the dried raw products.
