ObjectiveThis paper aims to observe the syndrome improvement and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome). MethodsThrough a multi-center randomized controlled methodology design,confirmed influenza cases were collected from October 2022 to April 2023 in the pediatrics department of eight hospitals,such as Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 180 children with influenza and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome conforming to the standard were recruited through the clinic. The sick children meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into groups by a block-randomized method. The children in the experimental group were treated with Qingxuan Daozhi formula for five days,and those in the control group were treated with Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for five days. The primary efficacy indicator was the negative conversion rate of influenza antigen detection. Secondary efficacy indicators were the Canadian acute respiratory illness and flu scale (CARIFS) and the incidence of complications,severe cases, and critical cases. Follow-up observation was conducted on the day of enrollment,48 hours after medication,72 hours after medication, and (6+1) d after medication. ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group (90 cases) or the control group (90 cases). All participants were followed up during the study. Comparison of influenza antigen detection results in the primary efficacy indicators showed that the average time of negative influenza antigen conversion in the experimental group was (5.29±1.25) d,and that in the control group was (5.40±1.68) d,without a statistically significant difference. After five days of intervention,52 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group converted to negative,without a statistically significant difference. CARIFS score results in the secondary efficacy indicators showed that during 72 hours after intervention,there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in three dimensions, including headache,muscle soreness, and the need for extra care (P<0.05). On the (6+1) days after the intervention,the differences in both the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant in 10 dimensions, including sore throat,bad sleep,uncomfortable feeling,poor spirit and fatigue,crying more than usual,the need for extra care,symptom,function,influence on parents,and total score (P<0.05). The comparison results within the group in the dimensional scores of symptom, function, and influence on parents,as well as the CARIFS total score showed that with the delay of follow-up time,scores of both groups decreased significantly,with a statistically significant difference (P<0.01). Inter-group comparison results showed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at the time of enrollment. With the progress of intervention,the score of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. At the end of follow-up,the mean score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group,with no statistically significant difference. In terms of the incidence of complications,severe cases, and critical cases, there were no complications,severe cases, and critical cases in the two groups,without a statistically significant difference. ConclusionThe symptom improvement effect and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome) are not inferior to Oseltamivir Phosphate granules, and children's acceptance is better. It can be more widely used in clinical treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome).

Objective:To compare the prognostic impact of complete mesocolic excision (CME) versus D2 lymphadenectomy in patients with stage III right-sided colon cancer.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data of 263 patients with stage III colon cancer undergoing right hemicolectomy in the Division of Colorectal Surgery, Department of General Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital (January 1, 2016 to August 8, 2023) were included. Of the 263 patients, 152 underwent CME and 111 received D2 dissection. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to balance baseline characteristics between the two groups. Continuous variables were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test or Student's t-test; categorical variables were compared using the χ2 test or Fisher exact test. Survival curves were constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the Log-Rank test was used to compare disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) between groups. Cox proportional hazards models were utilized to analyze prognostic factors, with subgroup analyses performed.Results:Patients undergoing CME surgery were younger (proportion >75 years: 4.6% vs. 25.2%, P<0.001), had a lower burden of comorbidities (Charlson comorbidity index ≥ 1: 25.0% vs. 36.9%, P=0.045), The rates of open surgery and converted open surgery were lower [0.6% (1/152) vs. 4.5% (5/111) and 0.6% (1/152) vs. 2.7% (3/111), respectively; P=0.040].They also had a higher rate of receiving adjuvant therapy (92.7% vs. 76.0%, P<0.001). In terms of short-term postoperative outcomes, the CME group had a greater number of harvested lymph nodes (median: 30 vs. 25, P<0.001) and less blood loss (median: 20 ml vs. 20 ml, P=0.041). There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of the number of metastatic lymph nodes, operation time, and the incidence of postoperative complications. Survival analysis demonstrated significantly longer DFS in the CME group both before and after PSM. CME was an independent favorable prognostic factor for DFS (pre-PSM: HR=0.53, 95%CI: 0.31-0.91, P=0.022; post-PSM: HR=0.50, 95%CI: 0.26-0.97, P=0.042). No significant difference in OS was detected between the two groups across models. The subgroup analysis based on clinicopathological features revealed DFS benefits associated with CME in patients with tumor deposits (HR=0.41, 95%CI: 0.18-0.94, P=0.035), moderately-to-well-differentiated adenocarcinoma(HR=0.48, 95%CI: 0.26-0.90, P=0.023), proficient mismatch repair tumors (HR=0.55, 95%CI: 0.32-0.94, P=0.030), and pN2 stage disease (HR=0.43, 95%CI: 0.19-0.95, P=0.036). Conclusion:An extended lymph node dissection, as exemplified by CME, may confer a DFS advantage in patients with stage III right-sided colon cancer, especially those exhibiting a substantial burden of lymph node metastases.

ObjectiveCongenital heart disease (CHD) is a common birth defect in children, with its incidence increasing annually. Because of their special health status, the vaccination situation for children with CHD has become a focal point of attention. This paper systematically reviews the current status of vaccination among children with CHD in China to identify existing issues in vaccination efforts for children with CHD, provide guidance for increasing vaccination rates among children with CHD, reduce the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases, and provide ideas for subsequent research. MethodsLiterature on the vaccination of children with CHD in China was searched in both Chinese and English databases, including CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, VIP, Chinese Biomedical and Web of Science, PubMed, EmBase, and the Cochrane Library. Relevant literature was identified based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and data extraction was carried out to summarize the research results. ResultsA total of 15 studies were included. Three articles focusing on expert consensus (guideline recommendations) for vaccination of children with CHD in China all agreed that vaccination is both feasible and necessary for children with CHD. Systematic analysis found that the overall timely vaccination rate for children with CHD was between 34% and 50%, with a notable delay in vaccination. However, after professional outpatient assessment, the vast majority of children with CHD were advised to be vaccinated according to the national recommended schedule, with only about 2% of them being advised to delay vaccination. The proportion of children with CHD who reported suspected adverse events following immunization (AEFI) was low and not significantly different from that of healthy/control children. ConclusionThe safety of vaccinations for children with CHD in China is relatively high, but the total timely vaccination rate is currently low. In order to improve the coverage and timeliness of vaccination in children with CHD, it is recommended that relevant departments provide vaccination policy support. There is a lack of research on the effectiveness of vaccination in children with CHD, so further studies are urgently needed to further improve the vaccination strategy for children with CHD in China.

OBJECTIVE
To prepare a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system(SMEDDS) for the oral administration of nebivolol hydrochloride(NBH) and to conduct in vitro evaluation.
METHODS
The solubility of NBH was determined using various oil phases, surfactants, and co-surfactants. The composition of the blank self-microemulsifying formulation was determined using pseudo-ternary phase diagrams. A centralcomposite design-response surface method was employed to screen and optimize the formulation variables, and an excess amount of NBH raw material was incorporated to determine the drug loading capacity.
RESULTS
The optimized composition of the NBH-SMEDDS formulation consisted of medium-chain glycerides, capryl caproyl macrogol glycerides, and 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy) ethyl acetate at a ratio of 20∶48∶32, with a drug loading capacity of 20.05 mg. The particle size, self-emulsification time, and particle size distribution range of the formulation were in agreement with the predicted values. Dissolution testing demonstrated that the overall dissolution trend of NBH-SMEDDS in the medium was higher than that of NBH powder and NBH ordinary tablet. The stability of NBH-SMEDDS was found to be satisfactory under accelerated conditions for 1, 2, and 3 months.
CONCLUSION
The SMEDDS shows potential for enhancing the in vitro dissolution of NBH and demonstrates good stability.

OBJECTIVE
To solve the problem of insolubility of itraconazole, improve its dissolution in vitro, and provide a reference for further industrial scale-up of the itraconazole multiparticle system.
METHODS
Itraconazole multiparticle system pellets were dissolved in an organic solvent and prepared in a fluidized bed by bottom spraying. Itraconazole and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose were sprayed onto the surface of the sucrose pellet core to form a uniform solid dispersion. The preparation parameters of the fluidized bed bottom spray coating were investigated by single factor method. The mass ratio of drug to carrier and core weight gain of the itraconazole multiparticle system were optimized by central composite design and response surface methodology with accumulative dissolution rate, application efficiency and adhesion rate as response values. Samples were prepared to verify the optimized prescription, the microscopic hierarchical structure of the itraconazole multiparticle system was observed by scanning electron microscope, and the solid dispersion in the itraconazole multiparticle system pellets was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). The dissolution curves of itraconazole pellets and the physical mixture in 0.1 mol·L−1 HCl dissolution medium were compared to verify the solubilization effect.
RESULTS
Single factor method was used to determine the bottom spray coating parameters of the fluidized bed. The pumping speed was set as 3.0−5.0 mL·min−1, the atomization pressure was set as 1.5 bar, the inlet air volume was set as 110 m3·h−1, and the material temperature was set as 35 ℃. According to the central composite design and response surface methodology, the mass ratio of drug to carrier of the optimized prescription was 1∶1.5 and the core weight of the pill was 75%, and the response values reached the expected value. The result of scanning electron microscopy showed that the diameter of the itraconazole multiparticle system pellet was about 910 µm, the diameter of the sucrose pellet core was about 570 µm, the thickness of the drug loading layer was about 110 µm, and the thickness of encapsulation layer was about 11 µm. The results of DSC and XRD showed that itraconazole formed a uniform solid dispersion in the itraconazole multiparticle system pellets, which was amorphous. In the dissolution medium of 0.1 mol·L−1 HCl, the accumulative dissolution rate of the multiparticle system after 90 min was about 10 times that of the physical mixture, which showed that the solubilization effect was remarkable.
CONCLUSION
The dissolution of itraconazole in vitro can be significantly improved by processing itraconazole into pellets with multiparticle system and forming solid dispersion.
