Animal model research on spleen and stomach diseases in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is of great significance for elucidating the nature of diseases and syndromes and for revealing the mechanisms of action of Chinese herbal medicinals. At present, studies on classical TCM syndrome models of spleen and stomach diseases mainly focus on spleen deficiency syndrome, liver constraint syndrome, and damp-heat syndrome. Model construction is mostly based on the etiological and pathophysiological characteristics of syndrome, and model evaluation primarily involves macroscopic manifestations and physicochemical indicators. This paper summarizes the current research status of animal models integrating disease and syndrome for seven common spleen and stomach diseases, including chronic gastritis and gastric precancerous lesions, gastroesophageal reflux disease, functional dyspepsia, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, functional constipation, and functional diarrhea. The modeling methods and characteristics of disease-syndrome combined animal models for each disease are analyzed. It is proposed that future research on disease-syndrome integration in spleen and stomach diseases should move toward syste-matic, precise, and integrative development, and that interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research approaches should be adopted to enhance the predictive value and application efficiency of disease-syndrome combined animal models.

Objective:To construct a comprehensive performance evaluation index system based on diagnosis related groups(DRG) and analyze the overall performance of a hospital before and after the implementation of DRG payment using an improved radar chart method.Methods:A literature analysis method was employed to preliminarily determine the performance evaluation framework in combination with the actual situation of the hospital. Subsequently, the Delphi method was used to establish a comprehensive performance evaluation index system based on DRG. Data related to inpatients from 2019 to 2022 (with 2019 being the period before the implementation of DRG payment) were extracted from the hospital information system and medical insurance system of a tertiary general hospital in Liaoning Province. The improved radar chart method was then utilized to conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation of the hospital.Results:The comprehensive performance evaluation index system based on DRG included five first-level indicators (service capacity, service efficiency, medical quality, medical safety, and revenue and costs) and 19 second-level indicators. The weights of medical quality and medical safety were the highest, both at 0.212. The evaluation results using the improved radar chart method showed that the comprehensive performance values of the hospital from 2019 to 2022 were 0.427 0, 0.463 3, 0.505 2, and 0.545 0, respectively. Overall, the five first-level indicators showed an improving trend, but the development of service capacity, service efficiency, medical quality, and revenue and costs was more balanced compared with medical safety.Conclusions:With the implementation of DRG payment reform, the performance of the hospital has improved and was trending towards more balanced development. The evaluation index system constructed in this study is scientifically sound and feasible. Combined with the improved radar chart method, it can more intuitively reflect changes in hospital performance and can serve as a reference for performance evaluation in public hospitals.

[Objective] To compare the efficacy and safety of deglycerolized red blood cells (DRBC) and suspended red blood cells (SRBC) based on the propensity score matching (PSM) method, so as to provide evidence for the rational use of DRBC resources in clinical practice. [Methods] A total of 89 patients who received DRBC transfusion and 2 916 patients who received SRBC transfusion in our hospital from January 2023 to September 2024 were included. A 1∶1 nearest neighbor PSM was used to balance covariates such as gender, age, and body mass index (BMI). The changes of hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC) count, hematocrit (HCT), and inflammatory markers such as white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil (NE) count, C-reactive protein (CRP), and Interleukin-6(IL-6) in the last 72 hours after transfusion were analyzed by SPSS 26.0 and R software to evaluate clinical efficacy and transfusion safety. [Results] The baseline of the two groups was balanced after PSM (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the total effective rate between the DRBC group (80.9%) and the SRBC group (86.5%) (P>0.05). In the SRBC group, WBC (×10
/L) increased from 9.634±6.742 to 10.147±6.835, CRP (mg/dL) increased from 5.468±4.647 to 6.174±6.114, and IL-6(pg/mL) decreased from 213.733±587.191 to 157.255±552.626. In the DRBC group, WBC (×10
/L) decreased from 11.123±7.880 to 11.011±8.549, CRP (mg/dL) decreased from 5.729±4.761 to 5.326±4.466, and IL-6(pg/mL) decreased from 238.806±639.060 to 152.255±266.558. Compared with the before treatment, the differences between the SRBC group and DRBC group were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Among all patients included in the statistics, the overall incidence of transfusion adverse reactions was 0.205% (6/2 916) in the SRBC group, and no adverse reactions occurred in the DRBC group. The incidence in the SRBC group was higher than that in the DRBC group. [Conclusion] Based on PSM analysis, there was no significant difference in the efficacy and safety of DRBC transfusion compared with SRBC transfusion, which can provide evidence-based support for routine application.

[Abstract] [Objective] To compare and analyze the efficacy of platelet transfusion in patients with different doses, and to analyze the risk factors for platelet transfusion refractoriness. [Methods] A total of 5 827 patients who received platelet transfusion in the PLA General Hospital from May 2023 to May 2024 were selected as the research subjects, among which 4 780 patients were transfused with 1 therapeutic dose of platelets, and 1 047 patients were transfused with 0.5 therapeutic dose of platelets, and the efficacy of platelet transfusion was compared between the two groups. The effects of gender, disease type, white blood cell count before transfusion, fever, number of platelet transfusions, and platelet antibodies on platelet transfusion refractoriness were analyzed using univariate analysis, and the independent risk factors affecting platelet transfusion refractoriness were further analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. [Results] Among 4 780 patients, 3553 (74.3%) were effective and 1 227 (25.7%) were ineffective. Among 1 047 patients, 0.5 platelet infusion was effective in 755 cases (72.1%) and ineffective in 292 cases (27.9%). There was no significant difference in the effective rate of platelet transfusion between the two groups (P>0.05). Univariate analysis showed that the therapeutic effect of platelet transfusion was related to age, the number of platelet transfusion, disease type, platelet antibodies and white blood cell count before transfusion (P<0.05), while age, gender, fever and blood type were not related to the therapeutic effect of platelet transfusion (P>0.05). The results of multi-factor analysis showed that age, white blood cell count >50×109/L, platelet transfusion times, disease type and platelet antibody were independent risk factors for ineffective transfusion (P<0.05). [Conclusion] There is no significant difference in the efficacy of platelet infusion with 0.5 therapeutic dose or 1 therapeutic dose. In addition, age, white blood cell count >50×109/L, the number of platelet transfusion, disease type and platelet antibodies were the factors affecting the ineffective platelet transfusion in group 2.

[Abstract] [Objective] To analyze the detection ability of one imported and three domestic microcolumn agglutination anti-human globulin cards in unexpected antibody screening test. [Methods] A total of 104 positive samples from antibody screening test conducted at our hospital from July to September 2022 were selected. Microcolumn agglutination antiglobulin tests were performed in parallel with antibody screening tests using one imported card (A Card) and three domestic cards (B, C and D Cards ) to analyze the differences in the sensitivity, specificity and agglutination intensity scores. [Results] The sensitivity of the four anti-human globulin cards was as follows: D card 88.51% (131/148) > C card 83.22% (124/149) > B card 81.63% (120/147) > A card 80.54% (120/149); the specificity was A card 97.79% (133/136) > B card 95.65% (132/138) > D card 95.62% (131/137) > C card 93.38% (127/136); and the average agglutination intensity score (points) was D card 214.57 > C card 191.90 > A Card 179.69 > B Card 175.83, and the H value of Kruskal-Wallis test was 7.221, with no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05). Among them, C card was prone to false positives, accounting for 3.16% (9/285), and A card was prone to false negatives, accounting for 10.18% (29/285). [Conclusion] There were differences in the detection ability of anti-human globulin cards of different manufacturers, and some domestic cards have higher detection performance than imported cards. It is recommended to use anti-human globulin cards of two manufacturers routinely in clinical practice, that is, to use cards with high detection sensitivity for antibody screening tests to avoid antibody missed detection as much as possible, and to use cards with high specificity for cross-matching blood tests to avoid delays in transfusion due to false positives, which could hinder transfusion treatment.

By sorting out and analyzing the contents about pulse diagnosis in Tanksuqnameh, it was found that in terms of pulse theory, the book contains academic viewpoints of different periods and doctors about three portions and nine readings pulse method and nutritive qi operation law in Huang Di Nei Jing, the Cunkou pulse-taking method and the Cunguanchi theory in Nan Jing, the Renying and Qikou pulse-taking method and the three-region pulse-taking method in Mai Jing, and the seven superficies-indicating, eight interior-indicating and nine channels pulse of Mai Jue, etc.; in terms of pulse theory interpretation, multiple annotations from famous doctors are cited, and TCM basic theories and knowledge of astronomy and mathematics are applied, combined with the background of ancient Iranian medicine and local medical experience for explanation; in terms of pulse diagnosis techniques, pulse diagnosis techniques such as "three fingers determining three guan", "adjusting finger density", "floating and sinking pulse", "foot back pulse breaking life and death" were recorded in books of Nan Jing, Mai Jue, Lei Zheng Huo Ren Shu, etc.; in terms of influencing pulse factors, the male and female pulse, physical pulse, and four time pulse were recorded. Tanksuqnameh is a universal work of Persian Traditional Chinese Medicine, compiled by the author Rashid-ul-Din based on his research on Chinese culture and medical knowledge, combined with the unique customs, language and culture, and way of thinking in the Middle East region, to reorganize various pulse theories from before the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties in China. The publication of this book indicates that TCM pulse diagnosis had been promoted to the Middle East in the 14th century and provided valuable experience for local medical development. The author's sense of identification and research spirit towards different cultures provide a historical example for achieving cross-cultural communication between TCM and medicine in different regions. The preserved literature from the Tang and Song Dynasties in the book can provide clues for a deeper understanding of ancient pulse theory in TCM, but some details do not explain thoroughly or does not match the current clinical practice. Therefore, attention should be paid to distinguishing in research and application.

Objective To investigate the types of dyslipidemia with poor blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and their changes after intensive hypoglycemic therapy. Methods A total of 140 T2DM patients who were hospitalized in the Endocrinology Department of Ruijin Hospital Wuxi Branch Shanghai Jiao Tong University of Medicine were enrolled in this study from August 2022 to July 2023. All the participants were divided into no therapy(Con,n=50),oral medication therapy (OAD,n=41),and insulin therapy group (Ins,n=49). Results The age and DM duration were higher in OAD and Ins groups than in Con group (P<0.05). HOMA-IR and FC-P were lower in Ins group than in OAD group (P<0.05). Compared with baseline,FPG,TC,TG,LDL-C,and fructosamine decreased and FC-P increased after treatment in each group (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the changes in TG after treatment in the Con and Ins groups were positively correlated with △fructosamine (P<0.05). Conclusions TC,TG,and LDL-C are increased when blood glucose control is poor in T2DM patients. After intensified hypoglycemic treatment,TC,TG,and LDL-C are decreased. The change in TG after treatment is positively correlated with △fructosamine.
