In the process of tumor chemotherapy， the emergence of multi-drug resistance （MDR） has always been a thorny problem， which is a result of the joint action of the host， tumor cells， and the immune microenvironment. Tumor cells can escape the toxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs through multiple pathways， being easy to produce drug resistance. MDR greatly restricts the effect of chemotherapeutic drugs on tumor cells and affects their therapeutic effects. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has the unique advantages of multi-target， multi-pathway and individualized treatment. The TCM treatment of tumors emphasizes regulating Yin and Yang， as well as reinforcing healthy Qi and dispelling pathogen. In recent years， TCM has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in the treatment of tumors and the amelioration of multi-drug resistance. TCM not only can target the phenomenon of MDR but also greatly weakens the side effects of the patients after the chemotherapy， thus improving the survival quality and rate of the patients. Accordingly， many patients adopt TCM as an adjuvant therapy during or after chemotherapy. The binding of TCM to targets can reverse the drug resistance of various tumors， which has become an emerging research highlight. From the regulatory mechanism of TCM on MDR of tumors， this paper introduces the mechanisms by which tumor cells continue to grow， proliferate， and metastasize by adjusting the intracellular drug concentration， altering or utilizing the tumor microenvironment， and affecting the cell death mode to achieve the resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. In this regard， the active ingredients and compound prescriptions of TCM can increase the sensitivity of chemotherapeutic drugs by down-regulating drug transporters， improving the tumor microenvironment， and modulating the drug resistance pathways associated with apoptosis， autophagy， ferroptosis， or pyroptosis. The aim of this paper is to explore more clinical practical value of TCM in the treatment of tumors and provide exploratory ideas and a theoretical basis for the future research on tumors and MDR.

Objective This study aims to observe the clinical effect of bone plate reduction in combination with a re-sorbable plate on large mandibular cysts.Methods Between October 2017 and September 2022,patients with large mandibular cysts in the presence of labial and buccal cortical bone were involved in the study.Intraoral approach was performed for bone plate reduction.Cone beam computed tomography(CBCT)scan was reviewed at 3,6,and 9 months postoperatively to observe postoperative complications.Osteogenic results were assessed at these times to determine the clinical outcomes of this procedure.Results Eleven cases with large mandibular cysts in the presence of cortical bone were evaluated.The average thickness of the cortical bone on the labial and buccal sides was measured to be about(1.98±0.37)mm before surgery,with a mean value of(0.73±0.17)mm at the thinnest part of the plate and up to 0.51 mm at the thinnest part of the plate.The cystic cavities were well re-vealed during the surgeries,which were completed suc-cessfully.Postoperatively,the wounds healed in one stage without infection.The percentages of cyst shrinkage were 20.01%,41.76%,and 73.41%at 3,6,and 9 months after surgery,respectively.Quantitative measurement of bone mineral density in the jaws by CBCT with MIMICS software.The bone mineral densities of the adult bone were 313.78,555.85,and 657.45 HU at the 3,6,and 9 month time intervals,respectively.No significant change in the patient's maxillofacial appearance were observed from the preoperative period as assessed by the patient's and observer's visual analog scale.Conclusion Bone plate reduction is an effective treatment for large mandibular cysts of the oral and maxillofacial re-gion with the presence of cortical bone.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of tirofiban versus argatroban in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. Sixty-eight patients with acute ischemic stroke who were continuously admitted to Department of Neurology of The Third People's Hospital of Hubei Province from August 2022 to September 2023 were divided into tirofiban group ( n = 33) and argatroban group ( n = 35) according to the treatment regimen. Both groups were treated according to their respective treatment protocols for 7 days. Clinical outcomes were assessed based on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores. The excellent clinical outcome (mRS score 0-1 points), good clinical outcome (mRS score 0-2 points), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, and mortality rates were compared between the two groups at 90 days post-treatment. Results:In the tirofiban group, the proportion of excellent clinical outcomes was 30.3% (10/33), which was significantly lower than the 65.7% (23/35) in the argatroban group (χ2 = 8.53, P = 0.003). However, the difference in the proportion of good clinical outcomes between the two groups was not statistically significant [54.5% (18/33) vs. 74.3% (26/35), χ2 = 2.90, P = 0.089]. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups regarding symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and mortality rates (both P > 0.05). Conclusion:For patients with acute ischemic stroke, the use of tirofiban or argatroban is effective and safe. Patients treated with argatroban are more likely to achieve excellent clinical outcomes; however, larger randomized controlled trials are needed for further confirmation.

Objective:To understand the regular leisure-time physical activity status of residents aged ≥60 years in China and to explore the potential influencing factors.Methods:National Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance were conducted in 298 counties (districts) in China in 2018, which covered 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities), using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method to select 194 779 permanent residents aged ≥18 years, using a questionnaire containing the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. A face-to-face survey to obtain demographic information about the survey respondents, the frequency of moderate and vigorous-intensity leisure-time physical activity in their spare time and time, and other information related to chronic diseases and risk factors. Daily temperatures of 298 monitored counties (districts) in 2018 were obtained by inversion of satellite remote sensing data information such as MODIS, OMI, and AIRS, and the number of parks in 2017 was obtained by me. In this study, 68 379 residents aged ≥60 years who completed the survey and had complete information on leisure-time physical activity-related variables, temperature, and parks were used as survey respondents, and the prevalence of regular leisure-time physical activity and average weekly exercise time was calculated by gender in groups of age, urban and rural areas, education level, and geography. Multi-factor logistic regression models were used to analyze the individual and environmental influences on the regular exercise rate. All the results were weighted according to a complex sampling scheme.Results:The prevalence of regular leisure-time physical activity of residents aged ≥60 years in China in 2018 was 13.1% (95% CI: 12.1%-14.0%). The figures were slightly higher for men [13.6% (95% CI: 12.6%-14.7%)] than for women [12.5% (95% CI: 11.5%-13.5%)]; urban [17.5% (95% CI: 15.9%-19.1%)] were significantly higher than those in rural areas [9.6% (95% CI: 8.8%-10.4%)]; the prevalence of regular leisure-time physical activity in East China [15.1% (95% CI: 13.3%-16.9%)] was higher than those in other regions; older residents in counties (districts) with ≥28 parks [17.3% (95% CI: 15.3%-19.2%)] the highest. The average weekly exercise time of elderly residents in China was 68.3 (95% CI: 63.5-73.2) minutes; among them, men [74.3 (95% CI: 68.1-80.5) minutes] was higher than women [62.5 (95% CI: 57.8-67.2) minutes]; urban [89.8 (95% CI: 82.0-97.7) minutes] were higher than rural [51.4 (95% CI: 46.8-56.1) minutes]. The results of the multi-factorial logistic analysis showed that factors such as: living in rural areas, lower annual household income for literacy, poorer self-rated health status, and lack of parks in the area of residence were associated with a lower prevalence of regular leisure-time physical activity among elderly residents. Conclusions:The prevalence of regular leisure-time physical activity among elderly residents in China is still at a low level, and exercise time needs to be improved. We should increase the publicity of "national fitness", pay attention to the disadvantaged elderly groups and provide more suitable activity places to encourage more elderly residents to participate in leisure-time physical activity.

Cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs) are major public health concerns affecting the health of Chinese residents, and the insufficient intake of vegetables and fruit is an essential risk factor for the occurrence and development of major chronic diseases, including CVDs. A reasonable intake of vegetables fruit and different varieties have a positive significance for preventing and treating CVDs. This paper reviews the progress of recent research at home and abroad on the relationship between vegetables and fruit intake, types and methods of processing with CVDs occurrence, development, and mortality, as well as their possible mechanisms. It provides further support for promoting a proper diet, facilitating the formation of nutritionally balanced diet habits, and improving the strategies and measures for CVDs prevention and management of CVDs patients in general and high-risk populations in China.

Objective:To understand the prevalence of insufficient physical activity among adults aged ≥18 years in China and to explore the influencing factors.Methods:The China Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance was conducted in 298 counties/districts in China in 2018, covering 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities). A multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select permanent residents aged ≥18 years. A questionnaire including Global Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to collect information about the participants' demographic characteristics and physical activity through face-to-face interview. A total of 183 769 participants completed the survey. After complex data weighting, the prevalence of insufficient physical activity, occupation, transportation, and leisure-time physical activity time was analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the influencing factors related to insufficient physical activity.Results:The prevalence of insufficient physical activity among adults aged ≥18 years was 22.3% (95% CI: 20.9%-23.7%) in China in 2018, with males [24.4% (95% CI: 23.0%-25.8%)] significantly higher than females [20.2% (95% CI: 18.6%-21.8%)]. Adults aged 70 years and above [28.4% (95% CI: 26.9%-29.9%)] were significantly higher than adults in other age groups, followed by adults aged 18-29 years [26.4% (95% CI: 24.4%- 28.3%)] and 30-39 years [23.4% (95% CI: 21.5%-25.3%)], and tended to increase with increasing education and total sedentary behavior time ( P<0.001). The weekly occupation, transportation, and leisure-time physical activity time appeared 958.6 (95% CI: 911.4-1 005.8) minutes, 234.5 (95% CI: 224.7- 244.2) minutes, and 88.6 (95% CI: 83.5-93.7) minutes, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that males, adults living in rural areas or northern China, ≥70 years, with junior high school education, an annual household income per capita <6 000 yuan and institutional/clerical/ technical occupation and longer total sedentary behavior time were related to a higher prevalence of insufficient physical activity. Conclusions:In China, over one-fifth of the adults had lower physical activity levels. Adults who are male, young adults, more educated, institutional/clerical/technical occupation, and with more extended total sedentary behavior are the populations that need to be focused on to promote physical activity-related health.

Objective:To compare the effect of middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) versus conventional therapy for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH).Methods:Retrospective analysis of 38 patients with 48 CSDHs treated with MMAE from May 2019 to May 2021 was performed. Comparisons were made with a conventional treatment for 126 patients with 126 CSDHs from January 2016 to May 2021. The MMAE and conventional treatment patients were matched by the propensity score matching method, and a total of 25 pairs of patients (31 pairs of CSDHs) were successfully matched. The CSDH recurrence, rescue treatment, radiographic follow-up outcome, clinical improvement and complication between the two groups were compared by t test, χ 2 test or Fisher exact probability methods. Results:The rescue treatment rate in MMAE group was significantly lower than that in conventional treatment group [0 (0/31) vs 19.4% (6/31), P=0.024] and the complete resolution rate at 6 months follow-up in MMAE group was significantly higher than that in conventional treatment group [96.8 (30/31) vs 74.2% (23/31), P=0.026]. In terms of CSDH recurrence, there was a trend of lower recurrence in the MMAE group [3.2%(1/31) vs 22.6% (7/31), P=0.053]. The complete resolution rate at 3 months follow-up was 61.3% (19/31) in MMAE group and 45.2% (14/31) in conventional treatment, clinical improvement rate was 92.0% (23/25) in MMAE group and 88.0% (22/23) in conventional treatment, good outcome rate (mRS≤2) was 92.0% (23/25) in MMAE group and 84.0% (21/25) in conventional treatment, complication rate was 0(0/25) in MMAE group and 4.0% (1/25) in conventional treatment, and there were no significant differences in all above-mentioned parameters ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The MMAE may be considered as a safe and effective treatment for CSDH, and MMAE for CSDH is associated with lower trend of recurrence, lower rescue treatment rate and better radiographic follow-up outcome than conventional therapy.

Objective:To investigate the potentially inappropriate medication(PIM)among elderly patients with chronic diseases in Shanghai communities and related influence factors.Method:Six community Health service Centers were choosen using stratified sampling. Total 968 elderly patients with chronic diseases who visited to the outpatient clinic of Shanghai Community Health Service Centers from July to August 2018 were included in the study. The PIM was investigated according to the 2015 Beers criteria. The χ 2 test and multivariate logistic regression model were used to analyze factors related to the PIM. Results:The survey showed that 317 elderly patients had PIM with 412 person-doses. In 134 person-doses, the PIM was unrelated to the disease; in 18 person-doses, PIM was caused by interaction of drug with disease/symptoms; in 259 person-doses PIM was related to the drugs that should be cautiously used for elderly; only in 1 person-dose the PIM was caused by the interaction between drugs. The drugs with the highest proportion of PIM were diuretics, benzodiazepines and aspirin. There were significant differences in age, kinds of diseases, kinds of drugs and times of visiting community health service centers between elderly patients with PIM and those without PIM (χ 2=42.28, 35.51, 46.47, 38.46; all P<0.05). The main PIM-related factors were age, kinds of diseases, kinds of drugs and times of visiting community health service centers. Conclusion:The study shows that the prevalence of PIM among elderly chronic diseases patients in Shanghai communities is relatively high, which is associated with the age, kinds of diseases, kinds of drugs and times of visiting community health service centers.

Objective? To explore the real experience of newly recruited nurses during standardized training and to provide a basis for improving the means of standardized training. Methods? Totally 11 newly recruited nurses who received standardized training in a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital were selected and interviewed by purposive sampling. The interview data were read repeatedly, analyzed, encoded, classified and finally refined to the topics using the phenomenological method in qualitative studies. Results? Totally 4 topics were refined in this study, including occupational cognitive imbalance, mental stress caused by workplace stimulus, physiological stress caused by workplace stimulus and thirst for knowledge. Conclusions? Newly recruited nurses have not fully become practitioners from the role of students. Schools and teaching hospitals need to pay attention to specialized training and pre-vocational transition education, provide relevant training and courses, and make the nurses under standardized training adapted to clinical work as soon as possible.
