This article is based on the core pathogenesis of yin-yang poisoning recorded in the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber and clarifies the characteristics of"yin poisoning"and"yang poisoning"as considered during the Han and Tang dynasties.It is found that the classification criteria for the two are based on the manifestation of syndromes rather than the cold and heat of the pathogenesis.By analyzing the syndrome of yin-yang poisoning in the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber and combining the records with people's understanding of the efficacy of various medicinals in Shengma Biejia Decoction during the Han and Tang dynasties,it is demonstrated that the core pathogenesis is stagnation,mainly reflected in three aspects:accumulation of toxins,stagnation of qi and blood,and stagnation of yang qi.Among these,the degree and location of stagnation of yang qi are the reasons for the difference between yin poisoning and yang poisoning.The disease of yang poisoning is characterized by sufficient yang qi in the body,obstruction of pathogenic factors on the surface,and intense competition between vital qi and evil qi.Therefore,yang stagnation on the surface is more severe and leads to heat symptoms.The disease of yin poisoning is characterized by deficient yang qi in the body,an inability to resist pathogen,and the deepening of evil qi.The yang qi is suppressed by depression and is relatively mild,making it unable to circulate and warm the body,resulting in cold symptoms.Therefore,when treating yang poisoning,ZHANG Zhongjing used medicinals that were pungent,warm and dispersed to relieve the yang depression on the surface.If the yang depression was dispersed,the heat would naturally dissipate.When treating yin poisoning,only internal medicine is used to relieve internal yang qi stagnation,and when yang qi is extended,cold will naturally disappear.In summary,we aimed to enhance our understanding of the efficacy of Shengma Biejia Decoction from the perspectives of promoting the dispersion of toxins,promoting blood circulation,and promoting yang stagnation,in order to provide new ideas for the clinical use of this formula and expand its application scope.

Acute gastrointestinal dysfunction is a common and important complication of sepsis. As no exiting formal definition and classification of gastrointestinal dysfunction, most of the treatment strategies for gastrointestinal dysfunction are not based on clinical evidence, but on their own clinical experience. Experts of traditional Chinese medicine, integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine and Western medicine from various disciplines in Shanghai are organized by the Shanghai Society of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and the Emergency Department Branch of Shanghai Physicians Association. After repeated discussion, literature search and formulation of the outline, we developed consensus on gastrointestinal dysfunction secondary to sepsis with integrating Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine by consulting extensively on clinical experts in the fields of emergency medicine, gastroenterology, general surgery, infectious medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, and holding several expert forums and consultation meetings. This clinical expert consensus focused on acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) classification and inducer of sepsis. In this consensus, the common symptoms, diagnosis, classifications, treatment strategies and suggestions of acute gastrointestinal injury or dysfunction secondary to sepsis were explored from the aspect of both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine.

As an emerging cancer therapeutic target, non-apoptotic cell death such as ferroptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis, etc., has revealed significant potential in cancer treatment for bypassing apoptosis to enhance the undermined therapeutic efficacy triggered by apoptosis resistance. A variety of anticancer drugs, synthesized compounds and natural products have been proven recently to induce non-apoptotic cell death and exhibit excellent anti-tumor effects. Moreover, the convergence of nanotechnology with functional materials and biomedicine science has provided tremendous opportunities to construct non-apoptotic cell death-based nanomedicine for innovative cancer therapy. Nanocarriers are not only employed in targeted delivery of non-apoptotic inducers, but also used as therapeutic components to induce non-apoptotic cell death to achieve efficient tumor treatment. This review first introduces the main characteristics, the mechanism and various pharmacological modulators of different non-apoptotic cell death forms, including ferroptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, autophagy, paraptosis, lysosomal-dependent cell death, and oncosis. Second, we comprehensively review the latest progresses of nanomedicine that induces various forms of non-apoptotic cell death and focus on the nanomedicine targeting different pathways and components. Furthermore, the combination therapies of non-apoptotic cell death with photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, immunotherapy and other modalities are summarized. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives in this regard are also discussed.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of hormone replacement therapy(HRT) on patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma after operation and its effect on sex hormone, blood fat, bone content and tumor markers, and to evaluate the clinical significance of HRT therapy.Methods:From January 2016 to January 2019, a total of 100 patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma admitted to Zhuhai Maternal and Child Health Hospital were analyzed retrospectively.After surgical treatment, 50 patients were willing to receive hormone replacement therapy as the experimental group and 50 patients received routine treatment as the control group, Kupperma score was used to evaluate the severity of perimenopausal symptoms, and the serum levels of sex hormones, blood fat, bone content and tumor markers in the two groups before and after treatment were detected and the occurrence of adverse reactions were evaluated.Results:Before treatment, there was no significant difference in kupperma score, estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone level, lipid level, bone content and tumor marker level between the two groups(all P>0.05). After HRT treatment, kupperma score in the experimental group was significantly lower than that before treatment((11.47±5.12) vs.(20.46±7.52), t=7.262). In the detection of sex hormones, the levels of estradiol in the experimental group was significantly increased((39.26±7.43) ng/L vs.(13.78±7.52) ng/L, t=12.345), and the levels of follicle stimulating hormone((34.25±7.61) U/L vs.(62.18±19.12) U/L, t=8.245)and luteinizing hormone((20.31±6.25) U/L vs.(35.08±6.27) U/L, t=5.452, P=0.004) in the experimental group were significantly decreased.In the detection of blood lipid level, bone content and tumor markers, high-density lipoprotein((1.62±0.33) mmol/L vs(1.34±0.26) mmol/L, t=4.592, P=0.008) and alkaline phosphatase levels((66.21±25.75) U/L vs.(46.88±9.06) U/L, t=5.912, P=0.001)was significantly increased, the low density lipoprotein((2.78±0.43) mmol/L vs.(2.87±0.78) mmol/L, t=4.265, P=0.012)and total cholestenone((4.02±0.45) mmol/L vs.(4.23±0.91) mmol/L, t=5.761, P=0.002) levels were significantly decreased in the experimental group, with statistically significant differences(all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the level of serum SCC antigen between the experimental group and the control group before and after treatment ( P> 0.05); there was no significant difference in the above indicators between the experimental group and the control group before and after treatment ( P> 0.05); there was no significant increase in adverse reactions such as breast swelling and pain (3 cases), body mass increase (2 cases), bleeding (1 case), body pain (4 cases), vomiting (4 cases), etc. between the experimental group and the control group (2, 1, 2, 3, 1 case) There was no statistical significance ( P> 0.05). Conclusion:HRT treatment of cervical squamous cell carcinoma patients after surgery can significantly improve the peri menstrual syndrome caused by low estrogen level, and did not significantly increase the risk of recurrence of cervical cancer patients and adverse reactions.

Objective To summarize the etiology,diagnosis and treatment of three cases of duodenal perforation. Methods The data of 3 cases of children with duodenal perforation in our hospital from September 14,2016 to June 20,2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The causes,clinical features and treatment of children's duodenal perforation were summarized. Results A total of 2 males and 1 females aged 2 years,3 years and 5 years were included in the 3 cases. All 3 cases had fever history of upper respiratory tract infection before onset. Acute abdominal pain occurred after oral administration of ibuprofen several times,and all the abdominal plain films prompted pneumoperitoneum. Three cases of perforation sites were duodenal anterior wall,diameter were 0. 5-1 cm. Two cases of small amount of pneumoperitoneum were explored and repaired the duodenal perforation by 3D laparoscopic,1 case underwent laparotomy to repair the duodenal perforation due to a large number of liquid pneumoperitoneum and severe shock. Repair of 3 cases were covered with omentum. Three cases were all cured without anastomotic fistula, ulcer, adhesive intestinal obstruction or other complications. Followed-up in the department of gastroenterology,3 cases had no Helico-bacter pylori infection. Conclusion Repeatedly oral administration of ibuprofen can cause duodenal perfora-tion in children in the short term. Once the digestive tract perforation confirmed,emergency surgical explora-tion is needed. Laparoscopic repair of duodenum perforation is safe and effective and may have a faster recov-ery. We can choose exploratory laparotomy if conditions are not allowed.

Objective: To preliminarily investigate the relationship between the baseline level of serum soluble ST2 (sST2) and 30-day MACE occurrence rate in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods: A total of 121 patients with confirmed diagnosis of STEMI in our hospital from 2015-05-01 to 2015-07-30 were consecutively enrolled. According to baseline sST2 level, the patients were divided into 2 groups:Low sST2 group, the patients with sST2≤56.68 ng/ml, n=61 and High sST2 group, the patients with sST2>56.68 ng/ml, n=60. Clinical condition and 30-day MACE (defined as death and new onset of congestive heart failure) occurrence rate were compared between 2 groups.
Results: ① The systolic blood pressure (SBP), Killip class≥II grade, blood levels of cTNI, NT-proBNP, hs-CRP and LVEF were different between 2 groups, all P<0.05. ② Baseline sST2 level was positively related to heart rate (r=0.271, P=0.003), Hs-CRP (r=0.359, P=0.000), cTNI (r=0.324, P=0.000) and NT-proBNP (r=0.425, P=0.000);negatively related to SBP (r=-0.226, P=0.013) and LVEF (r=-0.406, P=0.000).③30-day MACE occurrence rate was different between 2 groups (8.2%vs 30%, P=0.002). ④ Multivariate Cox regression analysis presented that sST2>56.68 ng/ml was the risk factor for 30-day MACE occurrence (HR=1.152, 95%CI 1.078-1.231, P=0.000).
Conclusion: Increased baseline level of sST2 implied the higher incidence of death and new onset of congestive heart failure in STEMI patients.
