Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability among adults in China, and its common complications include digestive system abnormalities, cognitive impairment, depression, stroke-associated pneumonia, and hemiplegia. The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has great potential in treating post-stroke complications. Xinglou Chengqitang (XLCQT) is a representative prescription of alleviating the disease in the upper part by treating the lower part. It has definite therapeutic effect and high safety. Clinically, XLCQT is often used to treat stroke and its complications. However, the quantity and quality of clinical trials of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications need to be improved. Additionally, since the basic research is weak, the material basis and multi-target mechanism for the efficacy of this prescription are unknown. This article reviews XLCQT in terms of the pharmacodynamic basis, medicinal properties, safety evaluation, and progress in clinical research and mechanisms in treating post-stroke complications. This article summarizes 22 key active ingredients of XLCQT in treating acute stroke complicated with syndrome of phlegm heat and fu-organ excess. Among these key active ingredients, resveratrol, kaempferol, luteolin, chrysoeriol, apigenin, (+)-catechin, and adenosine have good pharmacokinetic properties and high bioavailability. The mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications are complex, including inflammatory response, brain-gut axis, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, intestinal flora, neurotrophic factors, autophagy, oxidative stress, and free radical damage. This review helps to deeply understand the pharmacodynamic basis and mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications and provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of XLCQT against post-stroke complications and the development of drugs.

The rational use of medical insurance fund(MIF) plays an important role in promoting the high-quality development of public hospitals, and the supervision of MIF is in a trend of under the rule of law, normalization, professionalization and standardization, and unannounced inspection will become the norm. The authors systematically analyzed three main trends of MIF unannounced inspections, namely, gradually increasing intensity, constantly innovating methods, and increasingly serious consequences. The problems exposed in unannounced inspections were sorted out from five dimensions: form of results, severity, scope of attribution, subjective intention, and regulatory screening ideas. The enlightenment of MIF unannounced inspections to hospital management was explored from four aspects: compliance awareness, organizational system, fine management, and daily supervision. It was proposed that public hospitals should transform their roles and positions, improve the working mechanism of departmental collaboration, and achieve fine management in policy understanding, system formulation, process design, information support, data governance, regulatory implementation, personnel training, and performance matching. At the same time, internal simulated unannounced inspections in hospitals should be regarded as a routine work.

To analyze the factors affecting the cost of hospitalization for patients and provide insights using the intrauterine lesion surgery group (DRG code NE19) as an example. This study was a retrospective cross-sectional study, with data from the first page of medical records of patients enrolled under NE19 at a comprehensive tertiary hospital in Beijing from March 15, 2022 to November 30, 2023. Influence factor selection and multifactorial linear regression analysis were conducted with hospitalization cost as the dependent variable, and patient's basic information, treatment information and key concern factors as independent variables. The profit and loss of medical records containing key factors and differences in indicators of hospitalization cost structure were analyzed in the context of clinical practice. A total of 2213 valid medical records (all female patients) were included, with patients predominantly young and middle-aged women under 45 years of age (72.12%), and with 931 day surgery medical records (42.07%). The diagnosis records included 334(15.09%) multiple uterine leiomyomas, and 246(11.12%) pelvic adhesions. A total of 150(6.78%) medical records involved ovary- and tubal-related surgeries or manipulations, with 160(7.23%) main operations being laparoscopic hysterectomy of diseased uterine lesions and 38(1.72%) mechanical rotational excision of abnormal uterine tissue using transhysteroscopy. Linear regression analysis showed that whether or not ovarian and tubal surgical operations were involved ( The NE19 group of hospitals in the study had a high loss rate, and factors such as the severity of the patient's condition and the use of new technologies affected hospitalization costs, suggesting that there is room for further optimization of the existing grouping scheme. Tiered payment standards can be set up for different tiers of healthcare institutions, and a sound and optimized exclusion mechanism can be used to promote the development of new technologies. The internal management of hospitals should encourage the development of daytime surgery to improve the efficiency of medical services.

Objective:To evaluate the quality of critical patient handover practice between emergency room and intensive care unit (ICU) nurses, and to provide a basis for structured handover process.Methods:From March to July 2023, a total of 223 pairs of nurses in emergency room and ICU (including EICU) of 5 Class 3 Grade A general hospitals in Suzhou were selected as the research objects by using cross-sectional survey method and convenience sampling method. Self-designed general information questionnaire and Patient Handover Practice Quality Scale were used to investigate the included 223 pairs of nurses in emergency room and ICU on the current situation of handover time and quality.Results:A total of 211 pairs of nurses were included, including 286 females (67.8%) and 136 males (32.2%). The average age of emergency department nurses was (27.31 ± 2.17) years old, and ICU nurses was (26.96 ± 3.04) years old. The total scores of the patient handover practice Quality Scale for nurses in the emergency room and ICU were (45.25 ± 6.26) and (43.55 ± 7.19) points respectively, and the scores of the information transmission dimension were (20.47 ± 5.43) and (17.66 ± 3.45) points. The scores of common understanding dimension were (7.59 ± 2.31) and (8.58 ± 2.46) points. The scores of work atmosphere dimension were (7.93 ± 2.11) and (8.39 ± 2.29) points. The scores of handover situation dimension were (5.33 ± 1.30) and (5.70 ± 1.53) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were - 6.35-4.22, all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of handover practice quality between emergency room nurses and ICU nurses according to specialization, education background, working years and job category ( t values were - 4.91-2.56, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Emergency room nurses and ICU nurses have different requirements and expectations for handover procedures, so it is necessary to build a structured handover practice framework and carry out personalized handover practice training, in order to achieve the consistency of handover content and improve the quality of critical patients handover practice.

The comparison between traditional Chinese medicine Jinzhen oral liquid (JZOL) and Western medicine in treating children with acute bronchitis (AB) showed encouraging outcomes. This trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of the JZOL for improving cough and expectoration in children with AB. 480 children were randomly assigned to take JZOL or ambroxol hydrochloride and clenbuterol hydrochloride oral solution for 7 days. The primary outcome was time-to-cough resolution. The median time-to-cough resolution in both groups was 5.0 days and the antitussive onset median time was only 1 day. This randomized controlled trial showed that JZOL was not inferior to cough suppressant and phlegm resolving western medicine in treating cough and sputum and could comprehensively treat respiratory and systemic discomfort symptoms. Combined with clinical trials, the mechanism of JZOL against AB was uncovered by network target analysis, it was found that the pathways in TRP channels like IL-1β/IL1R/TRPV1/TRPA1, NGF/TrkA/TRPV1/TRPA1, and PGE2/EP/PKA/TRPV1/TRPA1 might play important roles. Animal experiments further confirmed that inflammation and the immune regulatory effect of JZOL in the treatment of AB were of vital importance and TRP channels were the key mechanism of action.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. Fat accumulation "sensitizes" the liver to insult and leads to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). G protein-coupled receptor 35 (GPR35) is involved in metabolic stresses, but its role in NAFLD is unknown. We report that hepatocyte GPR35 mitigates NASH by regulating hepatic cholesterol homeostasis. Specifically, we found that GPR35 overexpression in hepatocytes protected against high-fat/cholesterol/fructose (HFCF) diet-induced steatohepatitis, whereas loss of GPR35 had the opposite effect. Administration of the GPR35 agonist kynurenic acid (Kyna) suppressed HFCF diet-induced steatohepatitis in mice. Kyna/GPR35 induced expression of StAR-related lipid transfer protein 4 (STARD4) through the ERK1/2 signaling pathway, ultimately resulting in hepatic cholesterol esterification and bile acid synthesis (BAS). The overexpression of STARD4 increased the expression of the BAS rate-limiting enzymes cytochrome P450 family 7 subfamily A member 1 (CYP7A1) and CYP8B1, promoting the conversion of cholesterol to bile acid. The protective effect induced by GPR35 overexpression in hepatocytes disappeared in hepatocyte STARD4-knockdown mice. STARD4 overexpression in hepatocytes reversed the aggravation of HFCF diet-induced steatohepatitis caused by the loss of GPR35 expression in hepatocytes in mice. Our findings indicate that the GPR35-STARD4 axis is a promising therapeutic target for NAFLD.

Objective:To evaluate the short-term efficacy of ustekinumab (UST) as the first-line treatment of Crohn′s disease (CD).Methods:From October 1, 2020 to March 1, 2023, at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, 64 CD patients treated with UST as first-line biologics were enrolled. The patients were classified using the Montreal classification. Clinical and endoscopic response and remission were assessed by Crohn′s disease activity index (CDAI) and simple endoscopic score for crohn′s disease (SES-CD), respectively. Clinical response was defined as a reduction in CDAI score ≥70, and clinical remission was defined as a CDAI score <150; Endoscopic response was defined as ≥50% reduction from baseline in SES-CD score, and endoscopic remission was defined as SES-CD score ≤2. The clinical response rate and clinical remission rate at week 24 and week 48, as well as the endoscopic response rate and endoscopic remission rate at week 48 were observed in CD patients (only 21 patients with endoscopic prognostic results). Mann-Whitney rank sum test was used for statistical analysis.Results:Among 64 CD patients, there were 47 males and 17 females, with an age of (33.5±13.7) years old. According to Montreal classification, there were 3 cases (4.7%) of type A1 (≤16 years old), 44 cases (68.8%) of type A2 (17 to 40 years old), and 17 cases (26.6%) of type A3 (>40 years old); 43 cases (67.2%) of type L1 (terminal ileum type), 10 cases (15.6%) of type L2 (colonic type), 8 cases (12.5%) of type L3 (ileocolonic type), 1 case (1.6%) of type L4 (upper gastrointestinal type), 2 cases (3.1%) of type L1+ L4; 23 cases (35.9%) of type B1 (non-stricturing, non-penetrating), 34 cases (53.1%) of type B2 (stricturing), 2 cases (3.1%) of type B3 (penetrating), 5 cases (7.8%) of type B2+ B3; 44 cases (68.8%) complicated with perianal lesions. Among 56 CD patients with UST maintenance therapy once every 8 weeks, the CDAI scores at week 24 and 48 after treatment were both lower than that at week 0 (64.46(30.61, 123.30), 34.24(15.77, 64.83) vs. 353.40(290.40, 391.30)), and the CDAI score at week 48 after treatment was lower than that at week 24 after treatment, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=-9.01, -9.13, and -3.14; P<0.001, <0.001, and =0.002). The clinical response rate was 100.0% (56/56) and the clinical remission rate was 91.1% (51/56) at week 24; the clinical response rate was 100.0% (56/56) and the clinical remission rate was 98.2% (55/56) at week 48. Among 39 CD patients complicated with perianal lesions, the closure rate of anal lesions at week 24 was 87.2% (34/39) and at week 48 was 100.0% (39/39). Among 8 CD patients who received UST maintenance therapy once every 12 weeks, the CDAI scores at week 24 and 48 were both lower than that at week 0 (100.40(71.20, 171.30), 38.49(18.25, 143.50) vs. 268.00(242.60, 364.90)), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=-3.26 and -3.36; both P<0.001). At week 24, 7 CD patients achieved clinical response and 5 CD patients achieved clinical remission. At week 48, 8 CD patients achieved clinical response and 6 CD patients achieved clinical remission. Among 5 CD patients complicated with perianal lesions, 3 CD patients achieved perianal closure at week 24 and all 5 CD patients achieved closure of perianal lesions at week 48. Among 21 CD patients who underwent endoscopic evaluation, 16 CD patients received UST maintenance therapy once every 8 weeks, the SES-CD score at week 48 was lower than that at week 0 (4.00(3.00, 7.75) vs. 9.50(7.25, 10.75)), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-3.43, P<0.001), among them, 9 CD patients achieved endoscopic response and 2 CD patients achieved endoscopic remission; 5 CD patients received UST maintenance therapy once every 12 weeks, there was no statistically significant difference in the SES-CD score at week 48 compared with that at week 0 (4.00(1.50, 6.50) vs. 7.00(3.50, 10.00)) ( P>0.05), among them, 3 CD patients achieved endoscopic response and 1 CD patients achieved endoscopic remission. Conclusion:UST as the first-line treatment for CD patients can achieve clinical efficacy (response or remission), and the maintenance therapy is beneficial for endoscopic remission and closure of perianal lesions.
