This paper summarized Professor XU Jingfan's clinical experience of using Zisu （Perillafrutescens） for the treatment of spleen and stomach diseases. According to the disease characteristics， Professor XU flexibly selected the different parts of Zisu. It is believed that the leaf of Zisu is good at dispersing， dredging qi movement， and good at treating external contraction as well as internal damage due to depression or stagnation， and being effective in relieving abdominal lumps and fullness with vomiting； its stem is good at widering chest and diaphragm， smoothing qi and the middle， and dredging the twelve meridians， which can treat qi stagnation， especially suitable for distention and fullness in the midline of body like throat， esophagus， and stomach. Perilla seed is good at depressing qi and eliminating phlegm， loosening bowels to relieve constipation， which can be used in diseases of combined phlegm and qi， and combined treatment of lung and intestines to treat long-term constipation. In clinic， Huanglian （Coptis chinensis）- Zisu leaf is often used as pungent dispersing and bitter descending， promoting qi movement to treat persistent nausea and vomiting； Xiangfu （Cyperi Rhizoma）-Zisu stem is employed as regulating qi to smooth the middle， soothing qi to disperse liver stagnation for various syndromes of qi stagnation； Huomaren （Cannabis Fructus）-Zisu seed is utilized to clear the lungs and benefit qi， and moisten intestines by purgation for chronic constipation. The original ancient formulas are flexibly modified and tailored， so usually modified Banxia Houpo Decoction （半夏厚朴汤） is used to treat plum-stone qi （globus hystericus） and esophageal disorders， while modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction （补中益气汤） combined with Xiangsu Powder （香苏散） is used to treat gastroptosis， then self-prescribed Jixing Tuxie Formula （急性吐泻方） is used for acute diarrhea， and Xiexie Waizhi Formula （泄泻外治方） is applied for chronic cold-dampness diarrhea.

Objective To establish a liquid chromatography method for the simultaneous determination of 13 aromatic amine compounds (AAs) in workplace air. Methods A total of 13 AAs in both vapor and aerosol phases were collected in workplace air using a new GDH-6 sampling tube. Samples were desorbed and eluted with methanol, separated using a Symmetry Shield™ RP₁₈ reversed-phase liquid chromatography column, and detected with a diode array detector. Quantification was performed using an external standard method. Results The linear range of the 13 AAs measured by this method was 0.02-373.60 μg/L with the correlation coefficients greater than 0.999 0. The minimum detection concentration was 0.09-14.37 μg/m³, and the minimum quantitative concentration was 0.31-47.90 μg/m³ (both calculated based on sampling 15.0 L of air and 3.0 mL of elution volume). The average desorption and elution efficiency ranged from 97.46% to 101.23%. The within-run relative standard deviation (RSD) was 0.10%-5.99%, and the between-run RSD was 0.17%-2.71%. Samples could be stably stored in sealed conditions at 2-8 ℃ for more than seven days. Conclusion This method is suitable for the simultaneous determination of 13 AAs in workplace air, including both vapor and aerosol phases.

Background::Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has emerged as the leading cause of death from prostate cancer (PCa) in recent decades, bringing a great disease burden worldwide. Men with preexisting CVD have an increased risk for major adverse cardiovascular events when treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). The present study aimed to explore the prevalence and risk evaluation of CVD among people with newly diagnosed PCa in China.Methods::Clinical data of newly diagnosed PCa patients were retrospectively collected from 34 centers in China from 2010 to 2022 through convenience sampling. CVD was defined as myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, heart failure, stroke, ischemic heart disease, and others. CVD risk was estimated by calculating Framingham risk scores (FRS). Patients were accordingly divided into low-, medium-, and high-risk groups. χ2 or Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical variables. Results::A total of 4253 patients were enrolled in the present study. A total of 27.0% (1147/4253) of patients had comorbid PCa and CVD, and 7.2% (307/4253) had two or more CVDs. The enrolled population was distributed in six regions of China, and approximately 71.0% (3019/4253) of patients lived in urban areas. With imaging and pathological evaluation, most PCa patients were diagnosed at an advanced stage, with 20.5% (871/4253) locally progressing and 20.5% (871/4253) showing metastasis. Most of them initiated prostatectomy (46.6%, 1983/4253) or regimens involving ADT therapy (45.7%, 1944/4253) for prostate cancer. In the present PCa cohort, 43.1% (1832/4253) of patients had hypertension, and half of them had poorly controlled blood pressure. With FRS stratification, as expected, a higher risk of CVD was related to aging and metabolic disturbance. However, we also found that patients with treatment involving ADT presented an originally higher risk of CVD than those without ADT. This was in accordance with clinical practice, i.e., aged patients or patients at advanced oncological stages were inclined to accept systematic integrative therapy instead of surgery. Among patients who underwent medical castration, only 4.0% (45/1118) received gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonists, in stark contrast to the grim situation of CVD prevalence and risk.Conclusions::PCa patients in China are diagnosed at an advanced stage. A heavy CVD burden was present at the initiation of treatment. Patients who accepted ADT-related therapy showed an original higher risk of CVD, but the awareness of cardiovascular protection was far from sufficient.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between T lymphocytes and blood rheology test results in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and their chemotherapy outcomes.Methods:A total of 108 patients with NSCLC who received treatment in the Affiliated Hospital of Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine between May 2021 and May 2023 were included in the observation group. A total of 108 participants who concurrently underwent physical examinations were included in the control group. T lymphocyte subsets and blood rheology indices were tested in both groups. In the observation group, T lymphocyte subsets and blood rheology indices were compared before and after chemotherapy. Additionally, T lymphocyte subsets and blood rheology indices were compared between the chemotherapy-effective group and the chemotherapy-ineffective group. The risk factors for ineffective chemotherapy in patients with NSCLC were analyzed.Results:The CD 4+ and CD 4+/CD 8+ levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and whole blood viscosity in high-, medium-, and low-shear rates as well as CD 8+ level in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t = 22.64, 32.29, 28.72, 24.53, 28.29, 18.72, all P < 0.001). After chemotherapy, whole blood viscosity at high-, medium-, and low-shear rates, as well as CD 8+ levels, significantly decreased in the observation group compared with pre-chemotherapy levels. Conversely, CD 4+ and CD 4+/CD 8+ levels significantly increased ( t = 16.85, 27.15, 19.15, 16.03, 21.10, 13.50, all P < 0.001). In the chemotherapy-ineffective group, whole blood viscosity in high-, medium-, and low-shear rates as well as CD 8+ level were (6.08 ± 0.67) mPa·s, (10.45 ± 1.09) mPa·s, (15.59 ± 1.61) mPa·s, (25.58 ± 2.61)%, respectively. These values were significantly higher than those in the chemotherapy-effective group [(4.86 ± 0.51) mPa·s, (8.12 ± 0.91) mPa·s, (11.86 ± 1.28) mPa·s, (23.14 ± 2.41)%, t = 10.24, 11.36, 11.52, 4.65, all P < 0.001]. CD 4+ and CD 4+/CD 8+ levels in the chemotherapy-ineffective group were (37.82 ± 3.96)% and (1.48 ± 0.15), respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the chemotherapy-effective group [(40.05 ± 4.14)%, (1.73 ± 0.19), t = 2.56, 6.55, both P < 0.001]. Multivariate analysis revealed that whole blood viscosity at high-, medium-, and low-shear rates, as well as CD 8+ levels, were independent risk factors for ineffective chemotherapy in patients with NSCLC ( OR = 1.425, 1.697, 1.705, 1.719, all P < 0.05). Conversely, CD 4+ and CD 4+/CD 8+ levels were identified as protective factors against NSCLC (both P < 0.05). Conclusion:Patients with NSCLC have obvious T lymphocyte subset disorders and hemorrheological abnormalities. T lymphocyte subsets and hemorrheological indicators are factors that affect the effectiveness of chemotherapy and can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of chemotherapy in patients with NSCLC.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To explore the effect of complement component C1s on the proliferation,migration and adhesion of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)cells and on the growth of xenograft tumors in nude mice.Methods:The C1S mRNA ex-pression of ESCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues(ANTs)were analyzed using NCBI-GEO database.The C1s expression of ESCC cell lines was analyzed with RT-qPCR and Western blot.The knockdown or overexpression of C1s in ESCC cells lines was performed using C1s small interfering RNA(siRNA),C1s short hairpin RNA(shRNA)or C1s overexpression lentivirus,and the cell prolifera-tion was detected by CCK-8 assay,cell migration was detected by cell wound healing assay,cell adhesion was detected by cell-matrix adhesion assay,the expressions of matrix metalloproteinases MMP1 and MMP13 were detected by Western blot,and the effect of C1s on the growth of xenograft tumors in nude mice was detected by subcutaneous tumorigenesis assay in nude mice.The expression of CD34 in the xenograft tumors was detected by immunohistochemistry,and the formation of tumor microvessel was analyzed.Results:The expression of C1S mRNA in ESCC tissues was significantly higher than that in ANTs.Knockdown of C1s significantly suppressed proliferation,migration and cell-matrix adhesion of ESCC cells,as well as growth of xenograft tumors in nude mice,while overexpres-sion of C1s had the opposite effects.The expressions of MMP1 and MMP13 were decreased in ESCC cells TE-1 with C1s knockdown.Compared with control group,the microvessel of the xenograft tumors in the C1s overexpression group were more abundant.Conclu-sion:C1s is significantly upregulated in ESCC tissues,and promotes proliferation,migration,cell-matrix adhesion of ESCC cells,and the growth of xenograft tumors.C1s may play an important role in the occurrence and development of ESCC.

Objective:To investigate the occurrence of low back work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among workers in a container manufacturing factory, and to explore the influencing factors.Methods:In June 2022, 952 workers from a container factory were selected as the research objects by cluster random sampling. Through questionnaire survey, the incidence of low back WMSDs symptoms among workers in the past one year was collected, and the influencing factors of low back WMSDs were analyzed by logistic regression.Results:The incidence rate of low back WMSDs was 46.7% (445/952). The factors with higher exposure at work were frequent slight bending (77.0%, 733/952), frequent overtime (74.1%, 705/952), and the need to turn around while working (62.3%, 593/952). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age over 40 years old, smoking, drinking, often bending over slightly, sitting for a long time, maintaining a large bending posture for a long time, often working overtime, limited operating space, and there was always a need to complete conflicting things in the container manufacturing factory workers were the risks of increasing the low back WMSDs ( OR=1.68, 1.96, 2.47, 1.49, 1.84, 2.11, 1.90, 1.82, 2.00, P<0.05). Standing at work, always friendly colleagues, and always supportive and helpful leaders were protective factors for low back WMSDs ( OR=0.60, 0.32, 0.40, P<0.05) . Conclusion:The incidence of low back WMSDs symptoms in container manufacturing workers is high, and work-related factors such as frequent slight bending, long time holding large bending posture and limited operating space are the focus of ergonomic intervention in container manufacturing enterprises.

In order to improve the professional level and service ability of general practitioners, this study is guided by the needs of community medical institutions in the county medical communities. Two small-class training of 15 modules were carried out for a week, taking "2+5" training mode, including 2 days of theoretical teaching and case discussion, and 5 days of bedside teaching. After the training, the theoretical examination, case report and objective clinical structured examination were carried out. Those who passed the examination were issued a certificate of qualification and given corresponding rewards. The results showed that the post-test scores of trainees after training were significantly improved compared with the pre-test scores, and the qualification rate increased from 18.4% to 85.9%. This training mode can be promoted in a wider range, but it should be adjusted appropriately according to the actual situation in various places, and the relevant departments and hospitals should give full support.

Hepatolithiasis is a common biliary tract disease in China and other Asian countries.It has insidious onset,recurrent disease,and may lead to biliary cirrhosis or even cancer in the late stage without inter-vention.At present,surgery is considered to be the best choice for treatment.In the 21st century of minimally inva-sive surgery,traditional procedures such as partial hepatectomy,choledochotomy,cholangioenterostomy and liver transplantation can be performed with the assistance of laparoscopy and da Vinci robots,and emerging endoscopic techniques such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)and percutaneous transhepatic cho-ledochoscopic lithotripsy(PTCSL)have also been developed,bringing better treatment for patients with hepatoli-thiasis.As treatment options are becoming more varied,there are also some clinical problems that need to be addressed.In this article,we would like to briefly review the current surgical treatment modalities in order to provide a theoretical basis for optimizing the treatment modalities.
