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.

Tongxieyao Prescription is a classic prescription for the treatment of liver-spleen disharmony, which is widely used in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, functional diarrhea and chronic colitis. This article explored the correlation between the properties, chemical components, and pharmacological effects of Chinese materia medica in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases based on the theory of drug delivery in Tongxieyao Prescription. It can be preliminarily inferred that the overall medicinal properties of Tongxieyao Prescription are warm, bitter, sweet, pungent and sour, and belong to the liver and spleen meridians. The ascending, descending, floating and sinking properties have a "rising" trend, which has the effects of gastrointestinal mucosal protection, intestinal flora regulation, gastrointestinal motility improvement and so on. Combined with the concept of "five principles" of TCM quality marker (Q-marker), the potential Q-marker of Tongxieyao Prescription was predicted and analyzed. It was considered that atractylenolide Ⅰ, atractylenolide Ⅱ, atractylenolide Ⅲ, paeoniflorin, synephrine, hesperidin, tangeretin, nobiletin, prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, 5-O-methylvisammioside, etc. could be used as Q-markers and quality control indicators of this prescription.

Objective:To investigate the level of healthy fitness in preschool children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD),to explore the factors influencing healthy fitness in children with ASD,and to provide reference for their comprehensive rehabilitation treatment and home exercise guidance. Method:Fifty children in the ASD group and 50 children in the normal group were selected to test the health fitness level using seven indexes:body mass index,20m round-trip run,tennis long throw,standing long jump,isometric push-up,one-legged stance,and seated forward bend.The differences in health fitness levels between preschool children with ASD and normal children were analyzed using independent samples t-test,and the effects of gender,BMI,average daily sleep time,average daily sedentary time,average daily TPA time,average daily MVPA time,mother's education level,father's education level,family income,and age of child's primary caregiver on health fitness of preschool children with ASD were analyzed using multiple linear regression models. Result:Comparative analysis between groups showed that the ASD group had a much lower tennis ball toss than the normal group(P<0.05),and significantly lower scores in the 20-meter round-trip run,isometric push-ups and one-leg stand test than the normal group(P<0.001),while the differences in body mass index,stand-ing long jump and seated forward bend scores were not statistically significant(P>0.05).Multiple linear regres-sion model analysis showed that the mean daily sleep,Total Physical Activity(TPA),and Moderate to Vigor-ous Intensity Physical Activity(MVPA)time had a good fit for the 20 m round-trip run(20 m round-trip run=-9.561+1.048 x average daily sleep time+0.076 x average daily TPA time+0.066 × average daily MVPA time);average daily TPA time was well fitted for the isometric push-ups(isometric push-ups=-87.625+0.428x average daily TPA time);average daily TPA and MVPA times were well fitted for the single-leg stand(aver-age duration of single-leg stand=6.627+0.094 x average daily total physical activity time+0.071 x average daily moderate-to-vigorous activity time). Conclusion:The cardiopulmonary fitness,motor fitness and upper limb muscle fitness of preschool children with ASD are lower than those of normal children,and physical fitness training should be included in the comprehensive rehabilitation intervention program.The longer sleep time,the longer TPA time and the longer MVPA time may suggest the better cardiorespiratory fitness and motor fitness of preschool children with ASD,and the effective duration of sleep time and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity of preschool children with ASD should be enhanced.

Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of fertility intention to have a third child among childbearing age women in Heilongjiang Province under three-child policy.Methods:From January to April 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 10 600 women of childbearing age from ten districts and counties in five cities in Heilongjiang Province (Jiamusi, Qiqihar, Harbin, Heihe, Suihua) as research subjects. The Fertility Intention to Have a Third Child Questionnaire among Childbearing Age Women in Heilongjiang Province was used to investigate women of childbearing age. Multi-class Logistic regression was used to explore the influencing factors of fertility intention of childbearing age women to have a third child.Results:A total of 10 600 questionnaires were distributed, and 9 554 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 90.13% (9 554/10 600). Among 9 554 women of childbearing age, 2 248 had the intention to have a third child, 5 036 had no intention, and 2 270 were uncertain. Multi-class Logistic regression analysis showed that age, education level, per capita monthly income of the family, occupation, fertility status, pregnancy complications, economic pressure to have a third child, parents' attitudes towards having a third child, and satisfaction with childcare services were the influencing factors of the fertility intention of childbearing age women in Heilongjiang Province to have a third child ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Under the three-child policy, women of childbearing age in Heilongjiang Province have a low intention to have a third child. Relevant departments should formulate policies based on the influencing factors.
