As the core technology of processing， the stir-frying method of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） realizes the regulation of efficacy of medicinal substances through the coordination of fire gradient and excipients. This study aims to systematically analyze the influence of different stir-frying degrees（stir-frying until yellow， stir-frying to brown， stir-frying to charcoal） and excipient types（solid excipients such as rice， wheat bran， soil， liquid excipients such as rice wine， vinegar， honey） on the physicochemical properties， efficacy and toxicity of TCM， summarizing their common regulatory mechanisms and characteristics. Then， the three-dimensional regulatory common mechanisms and five-dimensional regulatory specificity mechanisms of different stir-frying processes were obtained. The three-dimensional regulatory common mechanisms are as follows：①Thermal effects break down inherent barriers of medicinal materials and improve the dissolution of components. ②Inducing Maillard reaction， carbonization and other reactions of medicinal materials to promote the transformation of components. ③Combining the catalytic and harmonizing effects of excipients to achieve targeted enrichment of efficacious substances and precise control of toxic components. The five-dimensional regulatory specificity mechanisms manifest as：①The efficacy gradient pattern where stir-frying until yellow strengthens the spleen， stir-frying to brown aids digestion， and stir-frying to charcoal stops bleeding. ②According to the polarity difference and intrinsic properties， the liquid excipients form a directional synergistic mechanism of wine processing enhances ascending nature， ginger processing to warm and disperse， salt processing directs effects to the kidneys， vinegar processing targets the liver， honey processing imparts sweetness and moderation. ③Through porous structure and interfacial properties， solid excipients give the synergistic effect of rice processing for diarrhea relief， bran processing for stomach tonification， soil processing for warming the middle warmer， and clam powder/talcum powder/sand processing for texture optimization. ④Thermal effects induce decomposition/oxidation/polymerization and other reactions to reshape the material basis， directing changes in the efficacy. ⑤The targeted distribution of efficacy is regulated by component enrichment and meridian-guiding effect， and the meridian tropism is changed. The system， driven by thermal effect， excipient synergy and physicochemical reconstruction， integrates five-dimensional regulation of fire， solvent， interface， composition and distribution. It systematically explains the inherent law of efficacy-substance-process of traditional stir-frying， and provides theoretical basis and practical guidance for standardizing TCM processing and enhancing the efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the current status of bedside teaching at pediatric bases and existing problems in pediatric bedside teaching, and to discuss how to improve bedside teaching in pediatrics.Methods:A questionnaire on pediatric bedside teaching was administered to 475 instructors who had participated in the backbone teacher training course of pediatric standardized residency training bases in 2022. The instructors were divided into two groups according to their medical professional titles: attending physician group and associate chief physician/chief physician group. The general information, bedside teaching rate, bedside teaching difficulties, and abilities that need to be strengthened were compared between the two groups of instructors. SPSS 21.0 was used to perform the chi-square test.Results:A total of 475 instructors responded to the questionnaire. Among them, 96.84% (460/475) were from tertiary class-A hospitals; 54.11% (257/475) had more than 10 years of clinical teaching practice; and 97.26% (462/475) conducted bedside teaching, but the proportion of bedside teaching time in routine clinical teaching was low, with only 30.11% (143/475) reaching >50.00%. The main difficulties in bedside teaching in pediatrics included noisy environments at pediatric wards or clinics (75.58%, 359/475), the lack of teaching time (71.16%, 338/475), intense clinical pressure (64.63%, 307/475), poor cooperation with children (54.95%, 261/475), the presence of parents at pediatric wards or clinics (44.84%, 213/475), varying levels of qualifications of residents (41.68%, 198/475), and high pressure of scientific research (30.11%, 143/475). There were 41.20% (96/233) of the attending physicians and 28.57% (68/238) of the associate chief physicians/chief physicians spending less than 30.00% of their teaching time at the bedside, respectively, which were significantly different ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The low proportion of time spent on bedside teaching among pediatric instructors is driven by various factors such as noisy pediatric environments and the great clinical pressure of pediatric teachers.

Objective:To explore the current situation of the intrinsic capacity of elderly people in the community and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From September 2022 to March 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 360 elderly community residents from Xicheng District, Beijing, and Xingtai City, Hebei Province, as the research subjects. The subjects were surveyed using the Intrinsic Capacity Assessment Questionnaire, Intrinsic Capacity Influencing Factors Questionnaire, Barthel Index, and Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale.Results:A total of 360 questionnaires were distributed, and 360 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 100.0% (360/360). The overall impairment rate of intrinsic capacity among 360 elderly people in the community was 90.3% (325/360), and the impairment rates in various fields from high to low were sensation, psychology, vitality, cognition, and exercise. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, gender, residential pattern, education level, work status, grip strength, number of geriatric syndrome, self-rated health status, adverse life events, number of social activities, transportation conditions, and social security were the influencing factors of the intrinsic capacity of elderly people in the community, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The impairment rate of intrinsic capacity among elderly people in the community is relatively high. Grassroots medical and nursing staff should assess the intrinsic capacity of elderly people in the community in health promotion work, identify elderly people with decreased intrinsic capacity early and carry out effective interventions to prevent elderly people from becoming disabled and dependent on care.

Objective:Evaluate the effects of brief mindfulness meditation training on improving negative e-motions,mindfulness attention awareness,and sleep quality in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)for coronary heart disease.Methods:Eighty-four patients with coronary heart disease after PCI admitted to the cardiology department were selected.According to the principle of simple randomization,they were divided into an intervention group of 42 cases and a control group of 42 cases.The Self Rating Anxiety Scale/Self Rating De-pression Scale,Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale,and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale were used as eval-uation indicators before and after intervention.Results:The difference in total scores of anxiety,depression,and mindfulness attention awareness before and after intervention in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The difference in total sleep score,sleep quality,time to fall asleep,sleep duration,use of hypnotic drugs,daytime dysfunction,and total sleep score before and after intervention was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:It suggests that brief mindfulness meditation training could alleviate negative emotions in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI,improve mindfulness awareness,and improve sleep quali-ty.

Chronic kidney disease（CKD）has a significant impact on global public health and is one of the important factors leading to the rise of incidence rate and mortality of non communicable diseases.Intestinal microecology is involved in many pathophysiological activities，such as immunity and nutrient absorption.With proposal of the concept of intestine-kidney axis in 2002，researchers found that the decline of glomerular filtration rate led to accumulation of uremic toxins in intestine，destroyed the intestinal mucosal barrier，led to the translocation of toxins，activated the systemic oxidative stress response，further promoted the progress of CKD.This article reviewed the function of gut microbiota，intestine-gut kidney axis，and the application of microbial preparations in CKD.

Objective To design a pH-sensitive nintedanib liposomes(Nb-Lips)which targeted the acidic microenvironment of pulmonary fibrosis.The entrapment efficiency(EE%)was optimized by the formulation process.Methods Nintedanib liposomes were prepared by membrane hydration method,and the formulation of nintedanib liposomes were optimized by single factor experiments and response surface method(RSM).The particle size,polymer dispersity index(PDI),Zeta potential and encapsulation rate was investigated by dynamic light scattering technique and microcolumn centrifugation method.The release behavior of nintedanib liposomes in artificial lung fluid with pH 7.4 and artificial lung fluid with pH 5.3 was investigated by dialysis method.Nintedanib liposomes were atomized with a compressed air atomizer and its atomization stability and aerodynamic particle size were investigated.Results The particle size of nintedanib liposomes was(100.651±7.315)nm,the PDI was(0.328±0.026),the zeta potential was(21.633±2.004)mV,and the encapsulation rate was higher than 80%.Compared with nintedanib solution at pH 7.4,the total release of nintedanib liposomes in pH 5.3 artificial lung solution was 60.78%higher,and the release of nintedanib liposomes in pH 5.3 artificial lung solution was 48h delayed,which was much higher than that of nintedanib solution.The data reveals no significant differences in particle size,potential and PDI before and after atomization of nintedanib liposomes,and the encapsulation rate decreased 4.25%.The fine particle fraction of the atomized droplets was 37.49%.Conclusion The response surface method can effectively improve the encapsulation rate of nintedanib liposomes,and successfully prepare nintedanib liposomes that are sensitive to acidic environment,and can be inhaled and released slowly.

Objective:To investigate and distinguish the useful index of recognizing blood culture contamination and bloodstream infection when the blood cultures were positive in clinical practice, and to help clinicians to recognize blood culture contamination.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data and distribution of bacteria of blood culture from 303 patients with positive blood culture from January to December 2021 in Huashan Hospital, Fudan University. Age, distribution of departments, positive time of blood culture, neutrophil ratio, procalcitonin and C-reactive protein (CRP) were compared between bloodstream infection group and blood culture contamination group. Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test were used for statistical comparisons. The factors for recognizing blood culture contamination were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. Results:A total of 303 patients with positive blood culture were enrolled and divided into two groups, including 237 cases in bloodstream infection group and 66 cases in blood culture contamination group, with the contamination rate of 21.78%. There was statistically significant difference in the distribution of departments between the two groups ( χ2=11.28, P=0.024). The proportion of age≥60 years old (52.7%(125/237) vs 36.4%(24/66)), the neutrophil ratio(0.86(0.79, 0.91) vs 0.82(0.75, 0.88)), the levels of procalcitonin (1.05(0.23, 6.64) μg/L vs 0.17(0.11, 0.72) μg/L) and CRP (60.55(24.83, 132.83) mg/L vs 40.64(8.98, 95.83) mg/L) in the bloodstream infection group were higher than those in blood culture contamination group, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=5.54, U=9 523.00, 10 906.00 and 9 278.50, respectively, all P<0.05). Among the 303 patients with positive blood culture, 253 patients had a single positive blood culture, 41 patients had twice positive blood cultures and nine patients had three times positive blood cultures. The highest contamination rate of detected pathogen was coagulase-negative staphylococcus (54.72%(29/53)) in the patients with single positive blood culture. The positive time of blood culture in the bloodstream infection group was 3(3, 4) d, which was shorter than 4(3, 4) d in the blood culture contamination group, and the difference was statistically significant ( U=6 521.00, P=0.026). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that when the time to positivity ≤3 days and procalcitonin level ≥2.00 μg/L, the positive blood culture results were more likely to be bloodstream infection (odds ratio ( OR)=2.16, 1.96, respectively, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Bacteria associated with blood culture, time to positivity and clinical index all play important roles in recognizing blood culture contamination. When the time to positivity ≤3 days and procalcitonin level ≥2.00 μg/L, the positive blood culture results are more likely to be bloodstream infection.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) disease patients with positive anti-interferon γ (IFN-γ) autoantibody.Methods:Forty-three adult human immunodeficiency virus-uninfected patients with NTM disease hospitalized in Huashan Hospital, Fudan University and Jing′an Branch, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University from July 2021 to August 2023 were included. Clinical data and NTM strain information of the patients were collected. The plasma levels of anti-IFN-γ autoantibodies were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the patients were divided into antibody positive group and antibody negative group. The clinical characteristics and laboratory examination results between the two groups were compared. The independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the correlation factors of positive anti-IFN-γ autoantibodies. Results:Among the 43 patients, 13 cases (30.2%) were positive for anti-IFN-γ autoantibodies and 30 cases (69.8%) were negative. The proportions of patients with NTM disseminated infection (9/13 vs 30.0%(9/30))and combined bacterial infection (5/13 vs 6.7%(2/30)) in antibody positive group were both higher than those in antibody negative group, and the differences were both statistically significant ( χ2=5.74 and 6.73, respectively, both P<0.05). The white blood cell count, platelet count, the proportion of platelet count >350×10 9/L of antibody positive patients were all higher than those of antibody negative group, while the white sphere ratio was lower than that of antibody negative group, with statistical significance ( t=2.42, 3.02, χ2=9.77 and t=3.66, respectively, all P<0.05). Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, globulin, immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin A and immunoglobulin M in antibody positive patients were all higher than those in antibody negative group, and the differences were all statistically significant ( U=99.50, 112.00, 115.50, 61.50, 76.50, 99.00 and 83.00, respectively, all P<0.05). Mycobacterium abscessus complex (seven cases and 11 cases, respectively) and Mycobacterium avium complex (five cases and 13 cases, respectively) were the main isolated strains in antibody positive and antibody negative patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that combined with bacterial infection (odds ratio ( OR)=21.83, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.94 to 245.71), NTM disseminated infection ( OR=7.64, 95% CI 1.10 to 53.26), platelet count>350×10 9/L ( OR=14.31, 95% CI 1.91 to 107.04) were risk factors for anti-IFN-γ autoantibodies positive (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with positive anti-IFN-γ autoantibodies have higher probability of having elevated levels of systemic inflammation. Anti-IFN-γ autoantibody test is recommended for patients with NTM disease who present with co-bacterial infection, NTM disseminated infection, or elevated platelet count (>350×10 9/L).

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,treatment methods,and prognosis of a-cute leukemia patients with extramedullary infiltration.Methods The clinical characteristics and treatment methods of 47 acute leukemia patients with extramedullary infiltration admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from April 2014 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Subgroup analysis was performed according to whether there was extramedullary infiltration before transplantation,and whether there was isolated extramedullary recurrence after transplantation.Based on this analysis,the patients were di-vided into the pre-transplantation radiotherapy group and pre-transplantation non-radiotherapy group,the post-transplantation radiotherapy group and post-transplantation non-radiotherapy group.According to the treatment methods of central nervous system leukemia(CNSL),the patients were divided into the intrathecal injection group(n=12)and combination of intrathecal injection and radiotherapy group(n=13).The local remission situation,survival duration,and toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy were com-pared.Results For acute leukemia patients with extramedullary infiltration,the overall survival time(OS)in the radiotherapy group was better than that in the non-radiotherapy group(median OS:706 d vs.151 d,P=0.015).Subgroup analysis showed that the OS of the pre-transplantation radiotherapy group was better than that of the pre-transplantation non-radiotherapy group(median OS:592 d vs.386 d,P=0.035).For CNSL,the combination of intrathecal injection and radiotherapy group had a better OS than the intrathecal injection group(median OS:547 d vs.388 d,P=0.045).The event-free survival time(EFS)of the radiotherapy group was better than that of the non-radiotherapy group(median EFS:175 d vs.50 d,P=0.005).The COX pro-portional-hazards model showed that treatment with or without radiotherapy had a significant impact on the OS of acute leukemia patients with extramedullary infiltration.The risk of death in the pre-transplantation non-radiotherapy group was 2.231 times higher than that in the pre-transplantation radiotherapy group(HR=3.231,95％CI:1.021-10.227,P=0.046).Compared with the non-radiotherapy group,the radiother-apy group had a higher local remission and a lower risk of haematological toxicity,infection,and haemorrhage.Conclusion Radiotherapy can rapidly alleviate the local symptoms of acute leukemia complicated with extr-amedullary infiltration,prolong the survival time of these patients,and reduce the risk of hematologic toxicity,infection,and haemorrhage.
