Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang was first recorded in the Treatise on Cold Damage (Shang Han Lun). This prescription is composed of Bupleuri Radix, Scutellariae Radix, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Zingiberis Rhizoma, Trichosanthis Radix, Ostreae Concha, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. It has the effects of soothing Lesser Yang, warming the spleen, and stimulating the generation of body fluid. It is mainly used to treat digestive tract diseases such as chronic cholecystitis (CC), irritable bowel syndrome, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Dyspepsia caused by CC presents a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, poor appetite, postprandial fullness, aversion to greasy food, soft stool, and bitter mouth, being a type of biliary dyspepsia. In modern medicine, dyspepsia caused by CC is mainly managed by medical treatment and surgical treatment. Internal medicine mainly focuses on reducing inflammation, promoting the function of gallbladder, resolving stones, alleviating spasms, and relieving the pain for CC, demonstrating definite short-term efficacy but suffering from single effects, high recurrence rate, and poor compliance. Although surgical treatment can cure cholecystitis, it is accompanied by the increased incidence of adverse events such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and dyspepsia. Modern clinical studies have confirmed that Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang can significantly alleviate the symptoms such as abdominal pain and dyspepsia of CC patients. Pharmacological studies have found that Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang mainly contains active ingredients such as Bupleuri Radix saponins, baicalin, cinnamaldehyde, gingerol, Trichosanthis Radix polysaccharide, Ostreae Concha polysaccharide, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma total flavonoids. Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang can ameliorate the symptoms of dyspepsia caused by CC by inhibiting inflammatory responses, improving gallbladder contraction and gastrointestinal motility, regulating the bile acid-intestinal flora axis and the brain-gut axis, and modulating blood lipids through multiple targets. By reviewing the previous literature, this article summarizes the research progress in the treatment of dyspepsia caused by CC with Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang and its main active ingredients as well as the pathogenesis of this disease and puts forward the shortcomings and improvement strategies for the current research. The review aims to provide a reference for the further research on Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang in the treatment of dyspepsia caused by CC.

Background The increasing demand for emergency services coupled with the special working environment has exacerbated occupational stress and work-related rumination among emergency medical dispatchers, which is noteworthy for its impact on dispatchers' sleep quality. Objective To explore the relationship among occupational stress, work-related rumination, and sleep quality of emergency medical dispatchers, so as to provide reference for improving sleep quality and maintaining physical and mental health of this occupational group. Methods A total of 386 emergency medical dispatchers from 16 provinces and municipalities including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Inner Mongolia, Zhejiang, Shanxi, Jiangxi, Anhui, Hubei, Hebei, Henan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Fujian, and Hainan of China were investigated with the Chinese version of Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire, Work-Related Rumination Questionnaire, and Insomnia Severity Index. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the association among occupational stress, work-related rumination, and sleep quality. A structural equation model was constructed, with occupational stress as independent variable, the two dimensions of work-related rumination as mediating variables, and sleep quality as dependent variable, respectively. Bootstrap testing was then used to verify potential mediating effect of work-related rumination on the relationship between occupational stress and sleep quality among the emergency medical dispatchers. Results Among the enrolled emergency medical dispatchers, the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) index was 1.03, the score of affective rumination was 15.35±5.26, the score of problem-solving rumination was 17.64±4.63, and the total score of sleep quality was 21.10±6.53. Their ERI index was positively correlated with affective rumination scores (r=0.636, P<0.01), but not with problem-solving rumination scores (P>0.05). Their ERI index, affective rumination scores, and problem-solving rumination scores were positively correlated with sleep quality scores (P<0.05). The direct effect size of occupational stress on sleep quality was 0.627, the indirect effect size of affective rumination was 0.124, and the mediating effect of affective rumination accounted for 16.4% of the total effect (0.755), while the problem-solving rumination had no mediating effect on the relationship between occupational stress and sleep quality. Conclusion Occupational stress and affective rumination in emergency medical dispatchers can predict their sleep quality. Occupational stress can directly affect sleep quality, and indirectly affect it through affective rumination. Managers should pay attention to and evaluate the affective rumination level of emergency medical dispatchers, so as to take corresponding intervention measures to reduce their occupational stress and improve their sleep quality.

Objective:To analyze the incidence, mortality, survival patterns, and distribution characteristics of modifiable risk factors for colorectal cancer in selected global regions.Methods:Secondary analysis was conducted using data from the GLOBOCAN database and previous literature. We described the number of cases and age-standardized rates (ASRs) of incidence and mortality for colorectal cancer in China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and globally in 2022 and 2020, with gender-stratified analysis. ASRs were calculated using Segi's world standard population. Temporal trends in 5-year net survival rates were compared across three periods (2000-2004, 2005-2009, 2010-2014) among countries. Regional distribution differences in colorectal cancer deaths attributable to modifiable risk factors by gender were assessed in China.Results:In 2022, global colorectal cancer incidence and mortality were estimated at 1.926 million new cases and 904 000 deaths. China accounted for 27% of both global incidence (517 000 cases) and mortality (240 000 deaths). China's age-standardized incidence rate (20.1 per 100 000) was lower than those of the United States (27.0 per 100 000) and the UK (30.9 per 100 000). However, China's mortality rate (8.6 per 100 000) exceeded that of the US (7.9 per 100 000) but was lower than the UK (11.8 per 100 000). Compared to 2020, China demonstrated significant mortality reductions in 2022: males declined from 14.8 to 10.9 per 100 000, females from 9.4 to 6.5 per 100 000. Five-year net survival rates in China improved across periods for colon cancer (51.4%, 55.6%, 57.6%) and rectal cancer (49.5%, 52.5%, 56.9%), yet remained consistently lower than US and UK rates. Modifiable risk factors contributed to 45.1% of male and 41.4% of female colorectal cancer deaths in China, with marked regional disparities.Conclusions:China exhibits higher colorectal cancer incidence and mortality than global averages, with survival gaps persisting compared to developed nations. Regionally tailored comprehensive prevention strategies are essential to reduce disease burden through risk factor modification and optimized clinical management.
