ObjectiveTo study the characteristics of the five tones of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients based on the theory of "five-viscera phonology", and provide references for the syndrome differentiation and treatment of PD. MethodsA total of 272 cases of PD patients were collected as the PD group, and 240 individuals, including patient family members and hospital staff, were recruited as the control group. The 25-tone analyzer was used to collect the five-tone characteristics of both PD patients and control group participants. The participants were then stratified into three age groups, 41~55, 56~70, and 71~85 years old, and categorized by gender (male and female) for analysis. The frequency and composition ratio of the five tones were analyzed for both groups across the different age ranges and genders. Additionally, the average voice frequency of each participant was calculated to compare differences between groups, stratified by age range and gender. ResultsIn the 41~55 and 56~70 age groups, male participants in the PD group and the control group exhibited the highest frequency of Yu (羽) tone, with the PD group showing a significantly higher composition ratio of Yu tone compared to the control group (P<0.05); for males in the 56~70 age group, the composition ratios of Shang (商) and Zhi (徵) tone in the PD group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). For males in the 71~85 age group, both the PD group and the control group had the highest frequency of Yu tone, but there was no statistically significant difference in the composition ratios of the five tones between groups (P>0.05). For female participants in the PD group across all age groups, Yu tone was the most frequent, whereas for the control group, Jue (角) tone was the most frequent in all age groups, and the composition ratio of Yu tone in the PD group was significantly higher than that in the control group across all age groups (P<0.05); in the 56~70 age group, the composition ratio of Jue tone was lower in the PD group compared to that in the control group (P<0.05). Regarding voice frequency, males in the PD group aged 41~55 and 56~70 had higher voice frequency than those in the control group of the same age range, and similarly, females in the PD group aged 56~70 and 71~85 had higher voice frequency than their counterparts in the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionPD patients have a voice with a higher frequency and an increased proportion of Yu tone in their five-tone distribution. According to the theory of five-viscera phonology, PD patients may have disease mechanism of kidney essence deficiency.

OBJECTIVE To know about the perception and current status of drug risk management among pharmacists in Chinese medical institutions, providing insights and recommendations for enhancing the drug risk management system in medical institutions. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted across 28 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions; stratified radom sampling was employed to study the population of medical workers and pharmaceutical professionals in medical institutions nationwide. The survey included information on the survey population, the current status of drug risk management implementation in medical institutions, the cognition, definition and process of drug risk management related concepts, and the content and mode of drug risk management work in medical institutions. Finally, suggestions were collected from various medical institutions on the system construction of drug risk management. Descriptive statistical analysis was adopted to summarize the obtained data. RESULTS A total of 446 questionnaires were collected in this survey, including 420 valid questionnaires and 26 invalid questionnaires. The questionnaire collection rate was 100%,and the effective rate was 94.17%. 51.19% of the respondents No.2020YFC2009001)。 based their understanding of drug risk management on Management Measures for Adverse Drug Reaction Reports and Monitoring, while 87.38% recognized the need for drug risk management throughout the drug use process. 63.33% of the participants stated that their medical institutions had dedicated positions related to drug risk management, with the highest proportion (72.17%) was in third-grade class A medical institutions. 66.43% reported implementing risk management across all drug use stages. Suggestions for the development of drug risk management systems in medical institutions by the research participants focused on enhancing guiding documents, clarifying concepts, establishing information-sharing mechanisms. CONCLUSIONS The overall awareness of drug risk management in China’s medical institutions is high, with practices in place across various stages in multiple forms. However, there remains a need to strengthen institutional documents, management regulations, system development, and information-sharing mechanisms to improve collaborative governance, improve drug management levels, and ensure patient safety.

ObjectiveTo investigate the non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors in adolescents with depressive disorder, analyze related influencing factors, and provide theoretical basis and reference for the prevention and treatment of NSSI. MethodsAccording to DSM-5 criteria, 95 depressive adolescents were divided into two groups: one with NSSI (NSSI group) and one without NSSI (nNSSI group). All patients were assessed with Adolescent Non-suicidal Self-injury Assessment Questionnaire (ANSAQ), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), Experiences in Close Relationships-Relationship Structures Scale (ECR-RS), and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF). The inter-group differences were compared. The influencing factors of NSSI were analyzed by using binary logistic regression. ResultsOf the 95 depressive adolescents, 59 cases of NSSI were identified, with a detection rate of 62.11%. NSSI group had higher scores than nNSSI group on SDS, SAS, negative coping style, paternal attachment anxiety, maternal attachment anxiety and avoidance, CTQ-SF total score, emotional neglect, physical neglect, emotional abuse, and sexual abuse (all P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that anxiety, negative coping style, maternal attachment avoidance and emotional abuse increased the risk of NSSI among adolescents with depressive disorders (all P< 0.05). ConclusionsAdolescents with depression have a high incidence of NSSI behaviors, which is related to anxiety, negative coping style, maternal attachment avoidance and emotional abuse. In addition to improving patients' depression and anxiety in clinical setting, attention should also be paid to patients' coping styles, parent-child relationship and childhood trauma to reduce the occurrence of NSSI behaviors.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of coronary artery lesion severity in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods Clinical data of ACS patients admitted to Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from December 2017 to December 2019 were consecutively collected. The modified Gensini score was used to assess the severity of coronary artery lesions. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to identify independent factors associated with coronary artery lesion severity. Results A total of 1 689 ACS patients were included, with an average age of (64.04±11.45) years; 1 353 (80.11%) were male, and the mean modified Gensini score was (8.12±4.03). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that sex (β=0.97, P=0.001), age (β=0.03, P=0.021), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; β=-0.03, P<0.001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; β=0.58, P<0.001), apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1; β=-1.28, P=0.012), lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a); β=0.001, P=0.033], and glycated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C; β=0.45, P<0.001) were independent influencing factors of the modified Gensini score. Conclusions Metabolic indicators, including Apo A1, LDL-C, HbA1C, and Lp(a), may serve as risk factors for coronary artery lesion severity in ACS patients, with Apo A1 demonstrating the strongest impact.

AIM: To compare the efficacy of intravitreal injection of ranibizumab(IVR)and intravitreal injection of conbercept(IVC)in children with retinopathy of prematurity(ROP).METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 1 100 eyes with ROP treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF at our hospital from January 2015 to June 2023 were included. According to the different therapeutic drugs, the children were divided into two groups: IVR group and IVC group. According to the degree of ROP, the patients were divided into three groups: aggressive ROP(A-ROP), Zone Ⅰ type 1 ROP and Zone Ⅱ type 1 ROP. The reactivation and retreatment between the two groups were compared after propensity score matching(PSM)analysis, and they were followed-up for at least 3 mo after surgery.RESULTS: In Zone Ⅱ type 1 ROP, there was a statistically significant difference in the rates of reactivation and retreatment between the IVR and IVC groups(P<0.05); however, in A-ROP and Zone I type 1 ROP, there were no statistically significant differences in the rates of reactivation and retreatment between the two groups(P>0.05). The risk of reactivation and retreatment of Zone I type 1 ROP was higher than the Zone II type 1 ROP. Furthermore, the use of drugs and corrected gestational age of first treatment were influencing factors of lesion recurrence and retreatment.CONCLUSION: There is a significant difference in the initial cure effect between the two drugs in Zone II type 1 ROP, with the reactivation and retreatment rates of the IVC group being much lower than those of the IVR group.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of modified Tianwang Buxindan (MTBD) on the skin of sleep-deprived (SD) mice and investigate its mechanism. MethodSixty 2-month-old female Kunming mice were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, a vitamin C (VC, 0.08 g·kg-1), and MTBD low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (6.5, 12.5, 25 g·kg-1). Except for the blank group, the other groups were subjected to SD mouse model induction (using multiple platform water environment method for 18 hours of sleep deprivation daily from 15:00 to next day 9:00), continuously for 14 days, and caffeine (CAF, 7.5 mg·kg-1) was injected intraperitoneally from the 2nd week onwards, continuously for 7 days. While modeling, the blank group and the model group were administered with normal saline (0.01 mL·g-1), and the other groups received corresponding drugs for treatment. On the day of the experiment, general observations were recorded (such as body weight, spirit, fur, and skin). After sampling, skin tissue pathological changes were observed under an optical microscope using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Masson staining methods. Skin thickness and skin moisture content were measured. Biochemical assay kits were used to detect skin hydroxyproline (HYP) content, skin and serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect serum interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and IL-1β levels in mice. Western blot was used to detect skin tissue type Ⅰ collagen (ColⅠ), type Ⅲ collagen (ColⅢ), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phosphorylated (p)-PI3K, protein kinase B (Akt), p-Akt, nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase (HO)-1, and nuclear factor (NF)-κB protein expression. ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group showed varying degrees of changes. In general, signs of aging such as reduced body weight (P<0.01), listlessness, dull fur color, and formation of wrinkles on the skin appeared. Tissue specimen testing revealed skin thinning, flattening of the dermoepidermal junction (DEJ), and reduced collagen fibers under the optical microscope. Skin thickness and moisture content decreased, skin tissue HYP content significantly decreased (P<0.01), skin and serum SOD activity significantly decreased (P<0.01), and MDA content significantly increased (P<0.01). Serum IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β levels significantly increased (P<0.01). Skin ColⅠ, ColⅢ, p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, Nrf2, and HO-1 protein expression significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and NF-κB expression increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the VC group and the MTBD low-dose group showed increased skin moisture content, HYP content, SOD activity, and ColⅠ, ColⅢ, p-PI3K/PI3K protein expression (P<0.05, P<0.01), and decreased serum MDA content (P<0.05). In addition, a decrease in serum IL-6 and IL-1β levels was detected in the MTBD low-dose group (P<0.05), while the above indicators in the MTBD medium- and high-dose groups improved (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionSleep deprivation accelerates the aging process of the skin in SD model mice. MTBD can improve this phenomenon, exerting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, and its mechanism of action may be related to the activation of the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Diarrhea caused by chemotherapy is called chemotherapy-related diarrhea (CRD). CRD can lead to reduced treatment effectiveness and compliance, affect the long-term outcome of tumor patients, and can be life-threatening in severe cases. In addition to conventional chemotherapy drugs, many molecularly targeted drugs are also associated with CRD, including small molecule epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors, anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies, phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors, small molecule inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, BCR-ABL1 and KIT inhibitors, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 target inhibitors, cyclin-dependent protein kinase inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates and other molecularly targeted drugs. The occurrence mechanism may be related to the intestinal mucosal injury or enteritis caused by molecularly targeted drugs. The clinical manifestations are increased stool frequency and/or loose imposition, and patients are often associated with excess hyperproduction and/or colic. The incidence of CRD varies with different drugs. Great importance should be attached to collecting medical history and differential diagnosis, actively intervening and conducting dynamic evaluation, strengthening patient education, and timely detecting and preventing the occurrence of intestinal toxicity.
