Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang was first recorded in the Treatise on Cold Damage (Shang Han Lun). This prescription is composed of Bupleuri Radix, Scutellariae Radix, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Zingiberis Rhizoma, Trichosanthis Radix, Ostreae Concha, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. It has the effects of soothing Lesser Yang, warming the spleen, and stimulating the generation of body fluid. It is mainly used to treat digestive tract diseases such as chronic cholecystitis (CC), irritable bowel syndrome, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Dyspepsia caused by CC presents a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, poor appetite, postprandial fullness, aversion to greasy food, soft stool, and bitter mouth, being a type of biliary dyspepsia. In modern medicine, dyspepsia caused by CC is mainly managed by medical treatment and surgical treatment. Internal medicine mainly focuses on reducing inflammation, promoting the function of gallbladder, resolving stones, alleviating spasms, and relieving the pain for CC, demonstrating definite short-term efficacy but suffering from single effects, high recurrence rate, and poor compliance. Although surgical treatment can cure cholecystitis, it is accompanied by the increased incidence of adverse events such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and dyspepsia. Modern clinical studies have confirmed that Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang can significantly alleviate the symptoms such as abdominal pain and dyspepsia of CC patients. Pharmacological studies have found that Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang mainly contains active ingredients such as Bupleuri Radix saponins, baicalin, cinnamaldehyde, gingerol, Trichosanthis Radix polysaccharide, Ostreae Concha polysaccharide, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma total flavonoids. Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang can ameliorate the symptoms of dyspepsia caused by CC by inhibiting inflammatory responses, improving gallbladder contraction and gastrointestinal motility, regulating the bile acid-intestinal flora axis and the brain-gut axis, and modulating blood lipids through multiple targets. By reviewing the previous literature, this article summarizes the research progress in the treatment of dyspepsia caused by CC with Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang and its main active ingredients as well as the pathogenesis of this disease and puts forward the shortcomings and improvement strategies for the current research. The review aims to provide a reference for the further research on Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiangtang in the treatment of dyspepsia caused by CC.

Objective:To develop a Recurrence Fear Scale for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation after Catheter Ablation and conduct psychometric testing for its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on the common-sense model of self-regulation, the scale was developed through a literature review and semi-structured interviews to construct an item pool. The scale draft was formed through expert consultation and a pre-survey. Using convenience sampling, 361 patients with atrial fibrillation who had undergone catheter ablation and were either hospitalized or attending outpatient follow-up at the Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, between January and March 2024, were selected for questionnaire survey. Item analysis and reliability and validity tests were performed on the scale.Results:Exploratory factor analysis identified five common factors, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 74.375%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed good model fit. The final scale included five dimensions and 24 items: trigger factors, recurrence risk perception, disease uncertainty, psychological burden, and coping strategies. The content validity index at the scale level was 0.864, and the item-level content validity index ranged from 0.684 to 0.947. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.919, the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.834, and the test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.872.Conclusions:The development of the Recurrence Fear Scale for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation after Catheter Ablation is scientific and standardized, and the scale has good reliability and validity. It can effectively assess the level of recurrence fear in these patients.
