However, it is still in its early stages, and further high-quality studies are needed to scientifically develop MHA that meets patients' needs.

Objective To explore the functional improvement effect of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy of traditional Chinese medicine(mainly acupuncture on the three yang meridians of the hand,moxibustion on the governor vessel,and moxibustion through drugs)on cervical spondylosis of wind cold blocking collateral type.Methods 120 patients with wind cold obstruction type cervical spondylosis admitted to our hospital from July 2021 to July 2023 were randomly divided into two groups,with 60 cases in each group,using a random number table method.The control group was treated with conventional cervical traction,while the observation group was treated with traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and moxibustion on the basis of the control group(mainly acupuncture at the hand Sanyang meridian+moxibustion at the governor's meridian+moxibustion through drugs).Compare the TCM syndrome scores,NDI,HO-1,LpPLA2,clinical efficacy,adverse reactions,hospitalization costs,and duration between two groups.Results After 4 weeks of treatment,the effective rate of disease in the observation group with wind cold obstructing cervical spondylosis(96.67%)was higher than that in the control group(83.33%),while the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score,NDI score,HO-1,LpPLA2 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).No adverse reactions were observed in both groups.Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and moxibustion therapy(mainly acupuncture of the three yang meridians of the hand,governor vessel moxibustion,and herbal penetration moxibustion)has significant clinical effect in the application of cervical spondylosis of wind cold blocking collateral type,which can effectively improve clinical symptoms and biochemical indicators,promote the rehabilitation of cervical function,and has high safety.

Objective To explore the effect of a mobile health intervention model based on self-determination theory on subthreshold depression in breast cancer patients.Methods By convenience sampling method,74 patients with breast cancer subthreshold depression who received chemotherapy in the breast department of a tertiary hospital in Guangxi from July 2021 to August 2022 were selected as the research subjects.According to the order of admission time,the patients admitted from February 2022 to August 2022 were taken as an experimental group,and the patients admitted from July 2021 to January 2022 were taken as a control group,with 37 cases in each group.On the basis of routine nursing,the experimental group implemented a mobile health intervention model based on self-determination theory.The control group received routine nursing,with every 21 days for 1 cycle and a total of 4 cycles of intervention.Before and after the intervention,the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale(CES-D),Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression(HAMD-17),Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction Scale(BPNS)and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast(FACT-B)were used to evaluate the intervention effect.Results 34 patients in the experimental group and 36 patients in the control group completed the study.After intervention,the CES-D score and HAMD-17 score of the 2 groups were lower than those before intervention(P＜0.05);the CES-D score and HAMD-17 score of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=7.748,P＜0.001;t=8.150,P＜0.001).The BPNS scores of the 2 groups were higher than those before the intervention,and the BPNS score of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group(t=-6.534,P＜0.001).The scores of FACT-B in the 2 groups were higher than those before the intervention,and the scores of FACT-B in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group(t=-4.579,P＜0.001).Conclusion The mobile health intervention model based on self-determination theory can improve the subthreshold depression,self-determination and quality of life of breast cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the HIV-1 genotype and distribution of newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases in Fujian Province in 2020, so as to provide insights into formulation of the precise AIDS control strategy in the province. Methods Newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases without antiretroviral therapy (excluding AIDS patients) were randomly sampled from each city of Fujian Province in 2020 at a proportion of 50% of the mean number of HIV-infected cases reported across 9 cities of Fujian Province during the past three years. Subjects’ demographic and epidemiological data were collected and blood samples were collected. The HIV-1 pol gene was amplified using nested reverse-transcription PCR assay, and the gene sequences were used for HIV-1 genotyping and phylogenetic analysis. The gene sequences were uploaded to the HIV Drug Resistance Database (http://hivdb.stanford.edu) for genotypic drug resistance assays, and the scores and level of HIV drug resistance were estimated using the HIVDB Algorithm version 9.5. Results A total of 1 043 newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases were reported in Fujian Province in 2020, and 936 gene sequences were successfully obtained following sequencing of blood samples. There were 9 HIV-1 genotypes characterized in blood samples from 936 newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases, with CRF07_BC (52.1%) and CRF01_AE (30.4%) as predominant subtypes, followed by CRF08_BC (4.9%), CRF55_01B (3.0%), subtype C (2.5%), subtype B (2.1%), CRF85_BC (1.7%), CRF59_01B (0.3%) and CRF65_CPX (0.1%), and unidentified subtypes were found in 26 blood samples. HIV-1 drug resistance was detected in 43 out of the 936 newly diagnosed HIV-1 cases, with 4.6% prevalence of HIV-1 drug resistance prior to therapy, and the highest drug resistance was found in the HIV CRF59_01B subtype, followed by in CRF08_BC, B, C, CRF01_AE, CRF07_BC and other subtypes, with a significant difference in the genotype-specific prevalence of HIV-1 drug resistance (χ² = 45.002, P < 0.05). Conclusions There was a HIV-1 genotype diversity in Fujian Province in 2020, and emerging recombinant and drug-resistant HIV-1 strains were detected and spread across patients and regions. Monitoring of HIV-1 genotypes is recommended to be reinforced for timely understanding of the transmission and spread of novel recombinant and drug-resistant HIV-1 strains.

Objective:To construct an evaluation index system for the core competence of hospital specialist service operation assistants and provide reference for the evaluation of such competence.Methods:From January to March 2022, literature analysis and behavioral event interviews were used to initially establish a core competence evaluation index system of hospital specialist service operation assistants, based on the Donabedian model. Subsequently, the Delphi expert consultation method was applied to conduct correspondence consultation, inviting experts to evaluate the contents and importance of the index system, using analytic hierarchy process to determine the weights of the indexes at all levels.Results:Two rounds of expert consultation were carried out, and the valid recovery rate of the questionnaire was 100%. The familiarity coefficient of the second round of correspondence was 0.87, the basis of judgment coefficient was 0.90, and the authority coefficient was 0.89. The final evaluation index system for core competence of hospital specialist service operation assistant consisted of 3 first-level indexes, 13 second-level indexes and 81 third-level indexes. The weight of the first-level index structure index was 0.266, and the highest weight among the second-level indexes was the operational development ability (0.083), while the highest weight among the third-level indexes of operational development ability was the comprehensive coordination ability (0.193); The weight of the first-level index process index was 0.405, and the corresponding second-level and third-level indexes with the highest weight were department operation practice work (0.157) and reasonable resource allocation (0.303), respectively; The weight of the first-level index result index was 0.329, and the corresponding second-level and third-level indexes with the highest weight were the weight of medical quality and safety (0.103) and drug adverse reaction reporting rate (0.237), respectively.Conclusions:The evaluation index system constructed in this study proves scientific and reasonable in weight assignment, proving a reference for the management of the specialist service operation assistants.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a serious and progressive hereditary muscle disease. The DMD gene mutation on the X chromosome causes the loss of dystrophin, causing progressive muscle weakness and muscular atrophy. Most patients die for heart and lung failure. Current gene therapy methods are mainly aimed at restoring the expression of dystrophin, including read-through therapy, exon skipping therapy, vector-mediated gene replacement therapy and gene editing therapy. This article reviews the mechanisms of these different treatments and important advances in clinical research, and analyzes the challenges and application prospects of these treatments.

OBJECTIVES: Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is mainly caused by intrauterine operations such as pregnancy-related curettage and hysteroscopic surgery, resulting in the trauma to the basal layer of the endometrium. Hysteroscopic adhesiolysis is a crucial step in the comprehensive treatment of IUA, and the most common complication is uterine perforation. More than half of all uterine perforations occur during the hysteroscopy or probe/dilator pass through the internal os. Furthermore, inappropriate surgical procedures may lead to endometrial injury, recurrence or even aggravation of adhesions, and complications such as cervix laceration and false passage formation. This study aims to explore the usage of the hysteroscopic dilatation techniques to dilate the internal os and lower uterine segment, which is via hysteroscopy entering the internal os laterally and swinging, or by directly opening the forceps or scissors and bluntly spreading dissection under direct hysteroscopic vision. By using the hysteroscopic dilatation techniques, we intend to improve the effectiveness and safety of cervical dilation in patients with IUA in the internal os and/or lower uterine segment. METHODS: A total of 282 patients with adhesions in the internal os or lower uterine segment underwent HA in the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2020 to June 2021 were included, ranging from 21 to 46 (33.0±4.8) years old in age and 5 to 12 in the American Fertility Society score. Among them, there were 2 cases of false passage formation caused by traditional dilatation in other hospitals. All patients underwent hysteroscopy with integrated hysteroscopy with 5Fr instrument channel and 4.9 mm outer sheath diameter. The internal orifice of cervix and the lower segment of uterine cavity were dilated under the microscope. After the hysteroscopy entered the uterine cavity, the separation of uterine cavity adhesion and the placement of uterine contraceptive ring or uterine stent into the uterine cavity were performed routinely. Age, surgical records, and surgical videos of all included cases were collected. The success rate of dilation and the incidence of surgical complications were assessed. RESULTS: In all cases, the hysteroscopys successfully entered into the uterine cavity by using the hysteroscopic dilatation techniques without failure and switching to cervical dilators. In the 2 cases of false passage due to previous cervical dilation, the uterine cavity was identified and found successfully under direct hysteroscopic vision. During the whole surgery, the vision was clear, and no complications (such as cervix laceration, false passage formation, uterine perforation or water intoxication) occurred. One to 3 months postoperative hysteroscopy revealed no significant fibrotic stenosis in the internal os and lower uterine segment. CONCLUSIONS The hysteroscopic dilation techniques are a strategy for separation methods that is following structural hierarchy anatomy in the mode of "see and treat" for the adhesion in the internal os and uterine cavity under direct hysteroscopic vision. This method not only has ultrasound guidance, but also has the judgment of structural hierarchy anatomy under direct hysteroscopic vision, so there is less chance of anatomical level judgment error. This method makes full use of the hysteroscopic judgement of the experienced hysteroscopic surgeons, so that surgeons can timely find and avoid re-entering the old false passage caused by previous surgery. The adhesions in the internal os and lower uterine segment were separated by the hysteroscopic dilation techniques. In this way, the damage to the endometrium caused by forced insertion of the hysteroscopy can be avoided. Meticulous separation of adhesions and cervical dilation under direct hysteroscopic vision can effectively reduce the occurrence of surgical complications such as false passage formation, cervical laceration, and uterine perforation. The use of mini-hysteroscopy eliminates the need for preoperative cervical preparation, avoiding associated risks and side effects. Moreover, for patients with adhesions in the internal os and lower uterine segment, preoperative cervical preparation is not effective in cervical dilation, while the hysteroscopic dilation techniques are effective, with higher patient acceptance due to the absence of preoperative cervical preparation. For the skilled hysteroscopic surgeons, the hysteroscopic dilation technique is easy to operate and worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of the extraction of Carthami flos in the treatment of chronic alcoholic liver injury based on metabolomics. Methods:The rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, positive control group and low, medium and high dose groups of the extraction of Carthami flos, with 10 rats in each group. In addition to the normal group, the other groups were gavaged with 8 ml/kg of 56° Niulanshan Baijiu to prepare the rat model with chronic alcoholic liver injury. After the successful modeling, the positive control group was gavaged with 0.36 mg/kg of Hugan tablet, and the low, medium and high dose groups were gavaged with 0.476 7, 1.430 1 and 4.290 3 g/kg of the extraction of Carthami flos respectively, once a day for 21 days. The contents of GPT, GOT, TG and ALP2 in serum were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer, and the effects of the extraction of Carthami flos on chronic alcoholic liver injury in rats were analyzed by Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS), cluster analysis, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Orthogonal Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA). Results:The levels of GPT [(42.11±6.58)U/L, (42.38±6.58)U/L vs. (49.96±10.70)U/L] and GOT [(104.81±14.70)U/L, (102.91±23.65)U/L vs. (159.66±53.69)U/L] decreased ( P<0.05 or P<0.01), while the levels of TG [(0.85±0.29)U/L, (0.85±0.23)U/L vs.(0.62±0.21)U/L] and ALP2 [(104.53±13.53)U/L, (100.30±17.28)U/L vs.(77.13±12.54)U/L] increased ( P<0.05 or P<0.01); The results of cluster analysis, PCA and OPLS-DA showed that the model group and the high-dose group of the extraction of Carthami flos could be distinguished obviously. A total of 20 chemical markers were obtained in the serum of rats with chronic alcoholic liver injury treated with the extraction of Carthami flos. Among them, the extraction of Carthami flos can down regulate the level of serum linolenic acid triglyceride in rats with chronic alcoholic liver injury and up regulate triglyceride, palmitic acid, lysophosphatidylcholine, palmitoyl ethanolamide, epinephrine, sphingosine, lysophosphingomyelin α-Linolenic acid, docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid are 10 endogenous metabolites. Conclusion:The treatment of chronic alcoholic liver injury with the extraction of Carthami flos may be related to the regulation of endogenous metabolites docosahexadilute acid, docosapentadilute acid α- Linolenic acid.

Objective:To determine the seroprevalence of celiac disease in susceptible population, and to analyze the relationship between demographic characteristics, dietary habits, lifestyle and serological positivity so as to provide guidance for the prevention and treatment of celiac disease in Southern China.Methods:A total of 1 273 individuals who participated in Guangdong Province Health Screening Program in 2015, were selected as serologically positive subjects of celiac disease, including people with irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, diarrhea, anemia, low BMI, short stature, type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis and bristol grade=6 or 7. All subjects were tested for serum IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (TTGA), IgA antibodies against deamidated gliadin peptides(DGPA) and IgG against deamidated gliadin peptides (DGPG). Dietary habits, lifestyle and demographic characteristics were compared in subgroups.Results:The seroprevalence of celiac disease in susceptible population was 0.94% (95% CI 0.54%-1.64%) including 0.08% (1/1 273) for TTGA, 0.47% (6/1 273) for DGPA, and 0.39% (5/1 273) for DGPG. The seropositive rate was 3.6% (1/28) in patients with psoriasis, 2.1% (2/95) in the low BMI group, 1.9% (1/53) in T1DM group, 1.8% (3/169) in diarrhea group and 1.1% (5/463) in RA group. No significant difference was found in age, gender, high carbohydrate diet or lifestyle between the negative and the positive subjects. Conclusions:In Southern China, the seropositive rate of celiac disease is 0.94% in susceptible population, which prompts an urgent need of serological screening for early diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the factors that affect the therapeutic effects of endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (Stretta procedure) on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Methods:Seventy patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease who received endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (Stretta procedure) treatment in Jinhua Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2016 to January 2019 were included in this study. They were divided into good prognosis group ( n = 57) and poor prognosis group ( n = 13) according to prognostic effects. The clinical data of all patients were collected, including gender, age, body mass index (BMI), course of disease, complications (hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes), smoking, drinking, Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) scores. Unconditional stepwise logistic regression was performed to analyze the factors that affect the therapeutic effects of Stretta procedure on GERD. Results:Univariate analysis results revealed that the proportion of patients aged ≥ 60 years with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2, alcohol abuse, HAMD score ≥ 8, HAMD score ≥ 7 was significantly higher in the poor prognosis group than in the good prognosis group ( χ2 = 9.574, 10.821, 22.575, 8.653, 10.586, 4.070, 8.653, all P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis confirmed that female gender, age ≥ 60 years, BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2, course of disease ≥ 5 years, alcohol abuse, HAMD score ≥ 8 and HAMA score ≥ 7 were the risk factors for poor prognosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease ( χ2 = 11.174, 6.023, 8.698, 5.972, 5.821, 7.485, 5.443, all P < 0.05). Consistency analysis revealed that gender, age, BMI, course of disease, alcohol abuse, HAMD score and HAMA score could be used to predict the therapeutic effects of endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (Stretta procedure) on GERD. Combined application of gender, age, BMI, course of disease, alcohol abuse, HAMD score and HAMA score exhibited higher consistency than a single application, 0.827 > 0.577, 0.533, 0.795, 0.547, 0.606, 0.434 and 0.547. Conclusion:There are many factors that affect the therapeutic effects of endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (Stretta procedure) on GERD, including gender, age, BMI, course of disease, alcohol abuse, HAMD score and HAMA score. This is of certain reference value for clinical treatment of GERD, and combined application of these influential factors has a high accuracy in the prediction of the therapeutic effects of Stretta procedure on GERD.
