Objective:To explore the effectiveness of digital health management in the management of community patients with essential hypertension comorbid with somatization symptom disorder.Methods:This was an intervention-controlled study. Patients with essential hypertension comorbid with somatization symptom disorder who visited the outpatient clinic of Jiangwan Town Community Health Service Center in Hongkou District, Shanghai from January to December 2022 were enrolled. Based on the time of initial diagnosis, patients were divided into a digital health management group (initial diagnosis from January to June 2022) and a control group (initial diagnosis from July to December 2022). Baseline clinical data were collected. The control group received conventional interventions, while the digital health management group utilized the Health Cloud APP 5.3.11 platform for online digital health management without altering the original medication regimen. The intervention lasted for 24 weeks. Before and after the intervention, the Somatization Symptom Scale (SSS), 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) were used to assess somatization symptoms, depression, and anxiety, respectively. The reduction rate in SSS scores was calculated, and blood pressure and heart rate were measured. The evaluation criteria for somatization symptom intervention effectiveness were as follows: at the endpoint of the intervention, SSS ≤29 or a reduction rate of SSS ≥ 75% was considered "cured"; a reduction rate of 50% to <75% was considered "markedly effective"; a reduction rate of 25% to <50% was considered "effective"; and a reduction rate of <25% was considered "ineffective".The overall effectiveness rate=(number of cured patients + number of markedly effective patients + number of effective patients)/total number of patients × 100%.Results:A total of 62 patients in the digital health management group and 65 patients in the control group were included in the final analysis. The mean age of the digital health management group was (50.5±3.5) years, with 30 males (48.4%), while the mean age of the control group was (50.2±3.2) years, with 31 males (47.7%). There were no statistically significant differences in the age or gender distribution between the two groups (both P>0.05). Before the intervention, there were no significant differences between the two groups in SSS sub-item scores, total SSS scores, PHQ-9 scores, GAD-7 scores, blood pressure, or heart rate (all P>0.05). After 24 weeks of intervention, all scores decreased in both groups, and did blood pressure and heart rate (all P<0.05). The differences in SSS sub-item scores, total SSS scores, PHQ-9 scores, GAD-7 scores, blood pressure, and heart rate before and after the intervention were greater in the digital health management group than in the control group (all P<0.05). The proportion of patients with effective intervention for somatization symptom was higher in the digital health management group than in the control group (57 cases (91.9%) vs. 38 cases (58.5%), P<0.001). Conclusion:Digital health management can improve somatization symptom disorder, blood pressure, and heart rate in patients with hypertension.

Professor Wu Mianhua,a renowned national traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)practitioner,proposed the"deficient qi and Kenang"theory based on the doctrines of"deficient qi"and"Kenang".This theory is applied to the pathogenesis analysis and clinical syndrome differentiation and treatment of brain tumors.It posits that the fundamental pathogenesis of brain tumors involves orig-inal qi deficiency,internal generation of deficient qi,intermingling of phlegm and blood stasis,and conglomeration of toxins into nest-like foci.The treatment strategy emphasizes reinforcing healthy qi,regulating qi,resolving phlegm,dispelling stasis,attacking toxins,dispersing nodules,and adjusting treatment according to disease stages.In the early stage,it is to support healthy qi and regulate qi to remove qi deficiency;in the middle stage,it is to dissipate phlegm and expel blood stasis to resolve pathological nests;in the late stage,it is to attack toxins and resolve masses to break up nest sac.Throughout the treatment,strictly adhere to the principle of"rein-forcing healthy qi without retaining pathogens,and breaking accumulations without impairing healthy qi".

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of methotrexate(MTX)uterine artery chemoembolization(UACE)combined with curettage for treating cesarean scar pregnancies(CSP).Methods A total of 29 CSP patients diagnosed by ultrasound and/or MRI and underwent UACE and curettage within 72 h after UACE were retrospectively collected.The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated,the amount of blood loss and gestational matter were recorded.The treatment-related complications were observed,blood β-human chorionic gonadotropin(β-HCG)and changes on ultrasonic images were explored after treatment,and the menstrual status was followed up.Results UACE and sequential curettage were successfully performed in all 29 cases.The amount of blood loss during curettage was 5-50 ml with a median of 10 m,l and the gestational matter was 10-100 ml with a median of 20 ml.Vagal reflex occurred in 1 case during UACE but improved after intravenous injection of 1 mg atropine.One week after UACE,post-embolization syndrome occurred in all 29 cases,which resolved after treatment with methylprednisolone.After combination treatment,blood β-HCG decreased from 78 997.00(23 150.50,201 975.50)mIU/ml before treatment to 2 873.00(1 873.00,4 182.50)mIU/ml(Z=-6.322,P=0.001).Blood β-HCG returned to normal 15-27 days after combination treatment,with a mean time of(20.2±3.3)days.One month after combination treatment,ultrasound showed clear endometrial line without residual recurrence of lesions.Menstruation cycle restored in all 29 cases 1.0-1.5 months after combination treatment.Conclusion MTX UACE combined with curettage was effective and safe for treating CSP.

A chemical investigation on the aqueous extract of Corydalis yanhusuo tubers led to the isolation and structural elucidation of three pairs of trace enantiomeric hetero-dimeric alkaloids, (+)/(-)-yanhusamides A-C ( 1- 3), featuring an unprecedented 3,8-diazatricylco[5.2.2.0^2,6]undecane-8,10-diene bridged system. Their structures were exhaustively characterized by X-ray diffraction, comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis, and computational methods. Guided by the hypothetical biosynthetic pathway for 1- 3, a gram-scale biomimetic synthesis of (±)- 1 was achieved in 3 steps using photoenolization/Diels-Alder (PEDA) [4+2] cycloaddition. Compounds 1‒3 exhibited potent inhibition of NO production induced by LPS in RAW264.7 macrophages. The in vivo assay showed that oral administration of 30 mg/kg of (±)- 1 attenuated the severity of rat adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA). Additionally, (±)- 1 induced a dose-dependent antinociceptive effect in the acetic acid-induced mice writhing assay.

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a severe public health problem with increasing morbidity and mortality, any treatment targeting a single session is insufficient to tackle this. CHF is characterized by reduced cardiac output resulting from neurohumoral dysregulation and cardiac remodeling, which might be related to oxidative stress, inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, apoptosis, autophagy, mitochondrial function, and angiogenesis. These molecular mechanisms interact with each other through crosstalk. Historically, Chinese medicinal herbs have been widely applied in the treatment of CHF, and therapeutic effects of Chinese medicinal herbs and their ingredients have been scientifically confirmed over the past decades. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with multiple components can confront the different pathogenesis of CHF through multiple targets. This review analyzes commonly used TCM patent drugs and TCM decoctions that are applicable to different stages of CHF based on clinical trials. Diverse bioactive ingredients in Chinese medicinal herbs have been found to treat CHF via multiple molecular mechanisms. This review comprehensively covers the key works on the effects and underlying mechanisms of TCM, herbal ingredients and synergistic effects of constituent compatibility in treating CHF, providing additional ideas to address this threat.

Objective:To comparatively evaluate the scan time and the accuracy of maxillary full-arch scans using four intraoral scanners (IOS) on conditions of the intraoral head-simulator and the hand-held model, and to evaluate the influence of different scanning conditions on digital scan.Methods:A upper dental arch model with melamine-formaldehyde resin teeth and silica gel gingiva that could be fixed on a head simulator was scanned with an optical scanner (ATOS Core) in order to obtain the standard tessellation language dataset as reference. Intraoral scans were performed on the model fixed on the head simulator by three researchers with four IOS [A: TRIOS 3; B: CS 3600; C: CEREC Omnicam; D: iTero]. For each scanner and each researcher, six scans were performed, to obtain the datasets as the head simulator group. And another six scans with each of the four intraoral scanners were performed by each researcher on the hand-held model to obtain the STL datasets as the hand-held group. The scan time were recorded for each scan. In the Geomagic Wrap software, the digital models were trimmed with only the teeth information retained and supreimposed by best fit alignment function and compared to obtain the root mean square (RMS) values of the discrepancies by three-dimensional compare function. The test datasets of each group were compared with the reference dataset for trueness. The six test scanning datasets with the same scanner of the same researcher were cross compared for precision. Mann Whitney U test was used to statistically analyze the difference values of the scan time, trueness and precision of the same intraoral scanner between head simulator group and hand-held group. Results:Compared to the hand-held group, the scan time of A [142(82) s] and D [119(52) s], which two IOS both with handle, were longer in head simulator group [A: 98(28) s; D: 85(22) s] ( P<0.01). However there were no significant differences between the two groups for scan time of IOS B and C ( P>0.05). For full-arch scan accuracy (trueness and precision), there were no significant differences between the two groups of IOS A and B ( P>0.05), while the trueness of C ( P<0.05) and the precision of D ( P<0.01) were better in head simulator group [C: 112(38) μm; D: 43(13) μm] compared to hand-held group [C: 135(47) μm; D: 53(18) μm]. However, there were no significant differences for the precision of C ( P>0.05) and the trueness of D ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The scan time and the accuracy of full-arch digital scans with different IOS may be effected by the scan conditions. For in vitro study of intraoral scanning, head-simulator can simulate the intraoral environment of the real patient to some extent. Meanwhile, the position of the dentist and the patient, and also the limited intraoral space during intraoral scanning are also simulated.

Objective:To comparatively evaluate the accuracy and the scan time of three full-arch scan strategies on the head-simulator, to explore a full-arch scan strategy with better clinical operability and high accuracy.Methods:A cross-controlled study design was used. A model with melamine-formaldehyde resin teeth and silica gel gingiva of an upper dental arch which can be fixed on a head simulator was scanned with an optical scanner (ATOS Core) in order to obtain the standard tessellation language (STL) dataset as reference. Intraoral scans were performed on the model fixed on the head simulator with four intraoral scanners (IOS) [A (TRIOS 3), B (CS 3600), C (CEREC Omnicam), D (iTero)]. The STL datasets were obtained from each of the four different IOS systems by using three scan strategies (scan strategies 1, 2 and 3 were composed of 10, 5 and 7 paths respectively) all by one attending doctor with 3 years of intraoral scanning experience. For each scanner and each scan strategy, nine scans were acquired. And the scan time was recorded for each scan. Following the scan strategy, the scan path was completed to obtain a full-arch digital model, and the scan time was recorded as full-arch scan time. Complementary scans were performed to fill the missing image, and this scan time was recorded as complementary scan time. The total scan time was obtained by adding full-arch scan time and complementary scan time. Through the Geomagic Wrap software, the three-dimensional (3D) models were overlaid by best fit alignment function and compared to obtain the root mean square values of the discrepancies by 3D compare function. The intraoral scanning datasets were compared with the reference for trueness. The nine intraoral scanning datasets were cross compared with same scan strategy and same intraoral scanner for precision.Results:There were no significant differences among the three scan strategies for trueness ( P>0.05), while the differences among the three scan strategies for precision were affected by difference IOSs ( P<0.05), and only scan strategy 3 showed the highest precision with all the four IOS. The full-arch scan time of scan strategies 1, 2 and 3 were (130±24), (72±17) and (90±19) s respectively ( P<0.05). For complementary scan time, scan strategy 2 [(50±24) s] took longer time than scan strategy 1 [(26±18) s] and scan strategy [(25±21) s] ( P<0.05), while no significant differences between the latter two ( P>0.05). For total scan time, scan strategy 1 [(156±31) s] took longer time than scan strategy 2 [(122±30) s ] and scan strategy 3 [(115±29) s ] ( P<0.05), while no significant differences between the latter two ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Full-arch scanning on the head-simulator with scan strategy 3 which can obtain scanning datasets with high accuracy, was more convenient to operate and took shorter scan time, and is generally suitable for intraoral scanners commonly used in clinic.
