Functional dyspepsia (FD), characterized by persistent or recurrent dyspeptic symptoms without identifiable organic, systemic or metabolic causes, is an increasingly recognized global health issue. The objective of this guideline is to equip clinicians and nursing professionals with evidence-based strategies for the management and treatment of adult patients with FD using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The Guideline Development Group consulted existing TCM consensus documents on FD and convened a panel of 35 clinicians to generate initial clinical queries. To address these queries, a systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, China Biology Medicine (SinoMed) Database, Wanfang Database, Traditional Medicine Research Data Expanded (TMRDE), and the Traditional Chinese Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (TCMLARS). The evidence from the literature was critically appraised using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. The strength of the recommendations was ascertained through a consensus-building process involving TCM and allopathic medicine experts, methodologists, pharmacologists, nursing specialists, and health economists, leveraging their collective expertise and empirical knowledge. The guideline comprises a total of 43 evidence-informed recommendations that span a range of clinical aspects, including the pathogenesis according to TCM, diagnostic approaches, therapeutic interventions, efficacy assessments, and prognostic considerations.

Objective To explore the source of human infection H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV). Methods Environmental AIV nucleic acid monitoring was conducted for live poultry markets in Changsha city from 2014 to 2015, and data of human infection H9N2 subtype AIV cases worldwide were collected. Phylogenetic trees of hemagglutinin(HA), neuraminidase(NA)and non-structural protein(NS)genes from human infection H9N2 subtype AIV, the live poultry markets environmental H9N2 subtype AIV and partial avian H9N2 subtype AIV were constructed using the MEGA 6.06 software, respectively. Results In 2014-2015, H9 subtype AIV had the highest nucleic acid positive rate (44.76%) in the live poultry markets environment of Changsha city, and the pollution was serious. A total of 27 cases of human infection with H9N2 subtype AIV had been reported worldwide, and most of these patients recovered after treatments.Epidemiological survey showed that 59.26% (16/27) of cases had a clear history of exposure to poultry or live poultry markets. The phylogenetic trees of HA, NA and NS genes showed that the human infection H9N2 subtype AIV isolates isolated from Hunan and Guangdong were closely related to the H9N2 subtype AIV isolated from the live poultry markets environment in Hunan and Guangdong provinces from 2013 to 2016. The nucleotide similarity was as high as 97%-99%. Conclusion Live poultry market is one of the sources of human infection with H9N2 influenza virus.

Objective: Researching the influence on patients with different eating ways after the operation of mandibular angle osteotomy of inside oral cavity. Method: By using the method of convenience sampling, 50 patients were chosen who had operation of mandibular angle osteotomy of inside oral cavity in orthopedic surgery department of our hospital from January 2017 to December 2017 and the number was arranged according to the order of hospitalization. Patients with singular member were divided into the month feeding group (liquid diet were fed with the injection syringe which linked leather hose of 4-5cm after 6 hours awakening after general anesthesia in operation); patients with even number were divided into the nasal feeding group (stomach tube was put in the operation and nasal feeding was provided after 6 hours awakening after general anesthesia in operation and 5 hours after the operation). In every group, there were 25 patients. Observation scale which was made by themselves was used to evaluate the patients in the two groups and comparison for difference was made in the two groups, including weight change, wound drainage amount, oral wound secretion, the aspects of choke and cough, and the comfortable sensation of eating. Results: For weight, in nasal feeding group, (2.19±0.48) kg were reduced and in month feeding group, (5.78±0.58) kg were reduced; the difference had the statistical significance (t=23.870, P<0.05). For wound drainage amount, in nasal feeding group, the number was(38.00±11.00)ml and in month feeding group, the number was (65.00±13.00) ml, the difference was statistically significant (t=7.927, P<0.01). In the aspects of choke and cough, and wound secreta in oral cavity, in nasal feeding group, the number were 16% (4/25) and 44% (11/25) respectively which was superior to the month feeding group with the number of 44% (11/25) and 76% (19/25), the difference had the statistical significance (χ²=4.667, 5.333, P<0.05). For the comfortable sensation of eating, in the two groups, there was no significant statistical difference (χ²=0.764, P>0.05). Conclusion The nasal feeding way can improve recovery level for patients after the operation of mandibular angle osteotomy of inside oral cavity and it is worthy of promotion in clinic application.

Objective The effect of Asperosaponin Ⅵ(ASAⅥ)on adipocyte differentiation and the involvement of Wnt signal pathway was investigated. Methods The murine bone marrow stromal cell line ST-2 were divided into 6 groups:control group, adipocyte differentiation group, and 4 different doses of ASAⅥgroups. Control group was exposed to the vehicle, adipocyte differentiation group was exposed to adipogenic reagent, and those 4 ASAⅥgroups were treated with different concentration(10-7, 10-6, 10-5, 10-4 mol/L)of ASAⅥafter adipocyte differentiation induction. 5 days later, oil red O staining was performed to calculate adipocyte rate. Then mRNA transcription levels of PPARγ, FABP4 genes andβ-catenin that were Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway proteins were examined by FQ-PCR. Then Wnt pathway inhibitor DKK1 was supplemented into ST-2 cells treated with 10-4 mol/L ASAⅥfor 5 days. After that FQ-PCR was used to detect whether tran?scription levels of PPARγ, FABP4 andβ-catenin in ST-2 cells were changed. Results Compared with adipocyte differenti?ation group 10-5 mol/L and 10-4 mol/L ASAⅥtreatments greatly down-regulated the number of lipid droplets and markedly inhibited transcription levels of adipocyte characterization transcription factors included PPARγ, FABP4 while up-regulat?ed transcription level ofβ-catenin in ST-2 cells. DKK1 can reverse the inhibitory effect of ASAⅥon adipocyte differentia?tion in ST-2 adipocyte. The transcription levels of PPARγand FABP4 were up-regulated significantly while transcription level ofβ-catenin was inhibited. Conclusion ASAⅥblocks adipocyte differentiation in ST-2 cells which might be medi?ated through activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVETo develop and evaluate a mouse model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) induced by a high-fat and high-fructose (HFHFr) diet.

METHODSSix-week-old C3H mice were randomly divided into groups for HFHFr diet experimental modeling, high fat-only (HF) diet controls, high fructose-only (HFr) diet controls, and standard chow (SC) diet controls. The standard HFHFr diet was modified so that it consisted of 76.5% standard chow, 12% lard, 1% cholesterol, 5% egg yolk powder, 5% whole milk powder, and 0.5% sodium cholate, along with 20% fructose drinking water. At the end of experimental weeks 4, 8, and 16, measurements were taken for the NASH-related parameters of body mass, serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lipid profile, and wet liver weight (upon sacrifice). In addition, histological changes in the liver were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and oil red O staining. The significance of differences between groups was assessed by statistical analysis, using the

METHODSof t-test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, x2 test, F test or Fisher's test as appropriate.

RESULTSAs compared to the mice in the SC group at the corresponding time points, the mice in the HFHFr and HF groups showed significantly higher body mass and wet liver weight, as well as more extensive and robust lipid disposition in hepatic tissues as evidenced by oil red O staining. However, HE staining indicated that the HFHFr and HF groups had different degrees of macrosteatosis accompanied with intralobular inflammatory foci, with the former showing more remarkable NASH-related histological changes. Analysis at the end of week 16 showed that about 80% of the mice in the HFHFr group had developed NASH [nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) activity score (NAS): less than 5]. The levels of low-and high-density lipoprotein (LDL and HDL) cholesterol, as well as the levels of ALT and AST, were increased from the end of week 4 to the end of week 8 for the HFHFr and HF groups. At the end of week 16, the two groups differed in the extent of increase in total cholesterol and LDL and HDL cholesterol, with only the HFHFr group showing statistically significant changes. Specifically, at the end of week 16, the HFHFr group showed ALT levels of 108.5 +/- 93.34 U/L (F=5.099, P =0.005 vs. HF group: 44.30 +/- 35.71 U/L, HFr group: 46.70 +/- 17.95 U/L, SC group: 24.70 +/- 6.57 U/L), AST levels of 316.30 +/- 208.98 U/L (F=6.654, P=0.001 vs. HF: 132.12 +/- 75.43 U/L, HFr: 143.30 +/- 38.53 U/L, SC: 122.60 +/- 12.76 U/L), total cholesterol levels of 5.18 +/- 0.58 mmol/L (F=72: 470, P =0.000 vs. HF: 3.94 +/- 0.75 mmol/L, HFr: 2.30 +/- 0.50 mmol/L, SC: 2.02 +/- 0.24 mmol/L), HDL cholesterol levels of 3.05 +/- 0.49 mmol/L (F=25.413, P =0.000 vs. HF: 2.65 +/- 0.54 mmol/L HFr: 1.77 +/- 0.47 mmol/L, SC: 1.58 +/- 0.16 mmol/L), LDL cholesterol levels of 1.11 +/- 0.23 mmol/L (F =83.297, P =0.000 vs. HF: 0.72 +/- 0.17 mmol/L, HFr: 0.27 +/- 0.04 mmol/L, SC: 0.20 +/- 0.05 mmol/ L).

CONCLUSIONThe present study suggests that a mouse model of NASH can be successfully induced by a 16-week modified HFHFr diet.
