Based on the concept of "regulating the five zang organs and harmonizing the spleen and stomach", globus hystericus is believed to originate from dysfunction of the five zang organs and disharmony of the spleen and stomach. Treatment primarily focuses on regulating the spleen and stomach while also considering other affected organs, with a self-prescribed Anpiwei Jingyan Formula (安脾胃经验方) for harmonizing the spleen and stomach as the foundational treatment. Additionally, syndrome-based modifications are applied according to imbalances in the heart, lung, kidney, or liver. For heart-yang deficiency, modified Linggui Zhugan Decoction (苓桂术甘汤) could be combined; for heart-yin deficiency, modified Tianwang Buxin Pill (天王补心丹) could be combined. For lung failing to disperse and descend and fluid retention, modified Sanao Decoction (三拗汤) could be combined; for lung and stomach yin deficiency, modified Shashen Maidong Decoction (沙参麦冬汤) could be combined. For kidney-yang deficiency with ascending counterflow of cold water, modified Jingui Shensi Pill (金匮肾气丸) could be combined; for kidney-yin deficiency, modified Liuwei Dihuang Pill (六味地黄丸) could be combined. For liver constraint and spleen deficiency, modified Sini Powder (四逆散) could be combined; for liver-yin deficiency or liver stagnation transforming into fire and attacking the stomach, modified Yiguan Decoction (一贯煎) could be combined.

ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics and trends of injury-related deaths among the registered residents in Yuyao City, Zhejiang Province from 2014 to 2023, and to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of targeted injury prevention and control strategies. MethodsData on injury-related deaths in Yuyao City from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2023 were collected from the cause-of-death surveillance module of the chronic disease monitoring and management system of Zhejiang Province. Indicators including constituent ratio, crude mortality rate (CMR), standardized mortality rate (SMR), premature death probability, potential years of life lost (PYLL), average years of life lost (AYLL), and potential years of life lost rate (PYLLR) were calculated. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) was used to analyze the trends in injury mortality over the past 10-year period. ResultsFrom 2014 to 2023, a total of 6 625 injury-related deaths were reported in Yuyao City, accounting for 10.65% of all deaths and ranking fourth among all causes. The CMR was 79.34/100 000 and showed an increasing trend (AAPC=4.396%, t=2.875, P=0.021), while the SMR was 38.99/100 000 with no significant trend (AAPC=-0.585%, t=-0.451, P=0.664). The SMR of females (37.74/100 000) was lower than that of males (40.87/100 000) (χ2=12.468, P<0.001). The top 5 causes of injury-related death were falls, traffic accidents, drowning, suicide, and accidental suffocation. Over the 10-year period, the SMRs for traffic accidents, drowning, and suicide showed downward trends (AAPC=-5.381%, t=-3.428, P=0.009; AAPC=-8.061%, t=-6.924, P<0.001; AAPC=-6.919%, t=-4.039, P=0.004, respectively), while the SMRs for falls and accidental suffocation showed no significant trends (AAPC=3.417%, t=1.767, P=0.115; AAPC=2.228%, t=0.803, P=0.445). Injury mortality increased with age for males, females, and the total population (all P<0.05). The leading causes of injury-related death were drowning among residents aged 0‒<15 years, traffic accidents among those aged 15‒<45 and 45‒<65 years, and falls among those aged 65‒<85 and 85‒110 years. The total PYLL due to injury was 58 708.00 person-years, the AYLL was 21.23 years, and the PYLLR was 7.36‰. ConclusionFrom 2014 to 2023, the crude mortality rate due to injuries in Yuyao City remained at a relatively high level, posing a serious threat to residents’ health and well-being. Falls, traffic accidents, drowning, suicide, and accidental suffocation are key targets for injury prevention and control work.

OBJECTIVES:
This study investigated the seasonal impact of diurnal temperature range (DTR) on hospitalization rates for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in middle-aged and elderly adults.
METHODS:
We collected data on the DTR and hospitalization records of ≥45-year-old patients with ICH in 2019 in Hunan Province, central China. Time-series analyses were performed using a distributed lag non-linear model.
RESULTS:
Overall, 54,690 hospitalizations for ICH were recorded. DTR showed a non-linear relationship with ICH hospitalization in both middle-aged and elderly populations (45-59 and ≥60 years, respectively). During spring, a low DTR coupled with persistently low temperatures increased ICH risk in both age groups, while a high DTR was associated with an increased risk in the middle-aged group only (relative risk [RR], 1.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21 to 1.27). In the summer, a low DTR combined with persistently high temperatures was linked to a higher risk exclusively in the middle-aged group. A high DTR in the autumn was correlated with increased risk in both age groups. In winter, either a low DTR with a continuously low temperature or a high DTR elevated the risk solely in the elderly population (RR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.69). In the elderly group, the impact of DTR on hospitalization risk manifested within a 5-day period.
CONCLUSIONS
The impact of DTR on ICH hospitalization risk differed significantly across seasons and between age groups. Elderly individuals demonstrated greater sensitivity to the impact of DTR. Weather forecasting services should emphasize DTR values, and interventions targeting sensitive populations are needed.
