Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common clinical chronic airway disease with high morbidity, high mortality, a heavy disease burden, and complex mechanisms that have not been fully elucidated. Clinical problems promote the continuous progress of basic research. The establishment and evaluation of animal models is an important way to delve into the pathogenesis and treatment strategies of COPD. On the basis of the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, and syndrome differentiation of COPD in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine, this paper summarizes the establishment methods and characteristics of existing animal models of COPD and analyzes the fitting degree of the models with the disease characteristics in Western medicine and syndrome characteristics in TCM. The results showed that the animal models of COPD in Western medicine were mainly induced by single factors and compound factors, and the model with the highest fitting degree was established by cigarette smoke combined with lipopolysaccharide and hormone. The model showed a fitting degree of 84% with the disease characteristics in Western medicine and 70% with the syndrome characteristics in TCM, being consistent with the clinical characteristics of COPD induced by multiple factors. Most of the animal models of COPD in TCM were established on the basis of disease models and combined with TCM etiology and pathogenesis characteristics, and prepared by syndrome differentiation. Among them, the model of accumulation of cold and water retention in lung had the highest fitting degree of 92% with the TCM diagnostic criteria. The models of phlegm-heat obstructing lung and phlegm-stasis obstructing lung had the fitting degree of 94% with clinical manifestations in Western medicine and the highest fitting degree with the diagnostic criteria in Western medicine. Different animal models of COPD have their own advantages and disadvantages, and most of them simply replicate the manifestations of COPD at a certain stage, failing to reflect the multiple causes and the dynamic changes of TCM etiology and pathogenesis. Moreover, the syndromes of these models fail to match the clinical syndromes in TCM. Therefore, establishing the animal models reflecting clinical characteristics of COPD in TCM and Western medicine and improving the model evaluation criteria are important contents to promote the overall development of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine for COPD.

Objective To compare TyG index between the patients with CHF and ADHF to eluci-date the metabolic difference between these two stages.Methods A total of 1156 HF patients ad-mitted in Taizhou People's Hospital between January 2020 and December 2022 were enrolled,and according to 2021 ESC Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute and Chronic Heart Fail-ure,they were divided into CHF group(365 cases)and ADHF group(791 cases).The clinical da-ta,results of laboratory tests,and cardiovascular history were collected,and TyG index was calcu-lated.All-cause death outcome was observed in ADHF patients during a follow-up of 1 year.Results The TyG index was significantly lower in the ADHF group than the CHF group[8.27(7.99,8.62)vs 8.35(8.04,8.75),P=0.001].In the ADHF group,the TyG index was positively correlated with SBP,DBP,TC,TG,LDL-C,FPG,HbA1c,BMI,and LVEF,and negatively with age(P<0.01).In the CHF group,the index was positively correlated with DBP,TC,TG,LDL-C,FPG,BMI,and HbA1c,and negatively with age(P<0.05,P<0.01).Both univariate and multiva-riate logistic regression analyses indicated that the TyG index was a protective factor for ADHF(OR=0.647,95%CI:0.503~0.832,P=0.001;OR=0.694,95%CI:0.536~0.898,P=0.005).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the index in ADHF patients was a protective factor for one-year all-cause mortality(OR=0.483,95%CI:0.254-0.916;P=0.026).Conclusion TyG index might be regarded as an important marker for assessing the metabolic status in HF patients and predicting the prognosis in ADHF patients.

Objective:To explore the application effect of the P-SAFE (Protection-Soothe, Antithrombotic,Foodstuff,Eudipsia) nursing model based on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in patients with hemifacial spasm after microvascular decompression surgery, and provide a protocol for the rapid recovery of patients.Methods:A non-randomized quasi-experimental study was used to conveniently select patients with hemifacial spasm who underwent microvascular decompression in Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2022 to December 2023. Among them, 80 patients treated with the traditional nursing management model from January to December 2022 were selected as the control group, while 94 patients treated with the P-SAFE nursing model under the ERAS concept from January to December 2023 were selected as the experimental group. The two groups were compared in terms of incidence of perioperative hunger and thirst, nausea and vomiting, thrombus, pain, adverse events as well as length of hospital stay, hospital costs, and pre-discharge nursing satisfaction.Results:Among the 80 patients in the control group, there were 19 males and 61 females, with an age of (54.98 ± 7.44) years. Among 94 patients in the experimental group, there were 15 males and 79 females, aged (54.93 ± 8.71) years. The incidences of perioperative hunger, thirst, nausea and vomiting, thrombosis and adverse events in the experimental group were 29.79%(28/94), 29.79%(28/94), 7.45%(7/94), 0 and 0, respectively, all of which were better than those in the control group, which were 45.00%(36/80), 47.50%(38/80), 23.75%(19/80), 8.75%(7/80), and 5.00%(4/80), respectively, pain score in the experimental group was 0(0, 1.25) points, lower than 0(0, 3.00) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 values were 4.30 to 9.04, Z=-2.96, all P<0.05). The hospital stays, hospital costs and nursing satisfaction in the experimental group were 9(7, 10) days, 3.97(3.91, 4.31) ten thousand yuan, and 98.00(92.75, 100.00) points, respectively, compared to the control group′s 11 (10, 12) days, 4.90(4.36, 5.08) ten thousand yuan, and 80.00(79.00, 100.00) points. These differences were also statistically significant ( Z=-7.84, -8.57, -5.79, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The P-SAFE nursing mode for patients with hemifacial spasm undergoing microvascular decompression under the concept of ERAS can reduce their perioperative discomfort, reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, improve the prognosis of patients, and help accelerate the recovery of patients.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of the Guang’an Omicron epidemic and summarize the management experiences and practices in pandemic prevention and control of major infectious diseases. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on patients infected with coronavirus disease (COVID-19), afterwards treated and observed in the isolation ward of Guang’an People’s Hospital and the shelter of Guang’an City from May 9 to June 26, 2022. The characteristics of patients at different age stages and the related factors affecting the severity, re-positive and negative conversion was analyzed. Results Finally 1 278 patients were collected, including 508 males and 770 females, with an average age of 41.3±22.6 years. Among them, 1 054 patients were asymptomatic carriers. The overall severe rate was 0.86%, the severe rate of the high-risk group was 3.06%. The median negative conversion time was 10.0 days and re-positive rate was 7.36%. Patients aged>60 years were 2.589 times more likely to have a longer negative conversion time than those aged≤60 years (95%CI 1.921-3.489, P<0.001). Conclusion The clinical characteristics of Guang’an COVID-19 epidemic are mainly that the elderly with high risk factors are more likely to develop severe cases, have longer clearance time, and re-positve is more likely to occur.
