Leonurus japonicas Houtt., has been recorded as "light body and long life" properties in the oldest classical medicinal book Shennong Bencao Jing thousands of years ago. Herba leonuri, also named Chinese Motherwort or Siberian Motherwort, has the effects of activating blood circulation, regulating menstruation, diuresis and detumescence, clearing heat and detoxifying, and is known as the "sacred medicine of gynecology." It has been well known by doctors and usually used in the treatment of common gynecological diseases in clinic. Leonurine is a very important alkaloid in Herba leonuri, which has many biological activities such as anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, and anti-apoptosis. Diseases of the cardiovascular system and central nervous system are "major health threats" that threaten human life and health worldwide, however, many drugs have certain side effects right now. This paper reviews the potential molecular therapeutic effects of leonurine on cardiovascular system and central nervous system diseases, highlights the current findings of research progress, and focuses on the therapeutic effects of leonurine in various diseases. At present, leonurine is in the stage of clinical experiment, and we hope that our summary can provide guidance for its future molecular mechanism study and clinical application.

Objective:To quantitatively evaluate the policy texts on mutual recognition of examination and inspection results at the national and local levels in China from 2006 to 2025 based on the PMC index model,and provide reference for policy formulation and improvement.Methods:The ROSTCM6 software was used to sort out and conduct text mining on 27 policy documents issued at the national and local levels,establishing the PMC index model for the mutual recognition of examination and inspection results in China.Quantitative analysis was conducted through a PMC evaluation system consisting of 9 first-level variables and 39 second-level variables.Results:The average PMC index was 6.06(excellent level).Among the 27 policies,4 were rated as perfect,18 as excellent,and 5 as acceptable.Conclusions:Current policies need to strengthen the formulation of scientific and feasible goals,improve legal guarantees and medical insurance coordination mechanisms,and build a complete data security maintenance system to provide policy support and guarantees for the continuous advancement of the mutual recognition of examination and inspection results.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and safety of the combined liver and kidney procurement technique with preservation of the donor diaphragm.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 135 donors with pulmonary infection who underwent combined liver and kidney procurement and their corresponding 370 recipients in the Department of Transplantation, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region People's Hospital from January 2021 to August 2023. According to whether the donor diaphragm was resected during procurement, the donors were divided into diaphragm preservation group (67 cases) and diaphragm resection group (68 cases). The t-test and chi-square test were used to compare the baseline characteristics of the donors, donor procurement time, surgical injury to organs, donor-derived infection (DDI), delayed graft function (DGF), primary non-function (PNF), and perioperative death between the two groups.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in age, sex, body mass index, number of organs procured, number of organs transplanted, number of organs discarded, or positive rate of sputum cultures for different strains between the two groups (all P>0.05). The donor procurement time was (46.70±12.61) min in the diaphragm preservation group and (45.79±12.78) min in the diaphragm resection group, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.679). No surgical injuries to other abdominal organs (such as intestines or, in the diaphragm resection group, the lungs) occurred during procurement. After transplantation, the incidence of delayed graft function in kidney recipients was 7.32% (9/123) in the diaphragm preservation group and 11.67% (14/120) in the diaphragm resection group, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.279). The incidence of DDI was 0 in the diaphragm preservation group and 7.07% (13/184) in the diaphragm resection group, showing a statistically significant difference ( P<0.001). No cases of primary non-function or perioperative death occurred in either group. Conclusion:Compared with the conventional method, the combined liver and kidney procurement technique that preserves the donor diaphragm does not significantly increase operative time, organ injury, delayed graft function, primary non-function, or perioperative mortality. It significantly reduces the incidence of donor-derived infections and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

To summarize and analyze the clinical data of one case of kidney transplantation in an HIV-positive child with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the Department of Transplantation, the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and to explore the safety and efficacy of kidney transplantation in HIV-positive children with ESRD. This pediatric recipient was found to be HIV-positive at birth and underwent kidney transplantation due to ESRD, with good postoperative recovery. During the 2.5-year follow-up, no rejection or rebound in HIV RNA levels was observed. The function of the transplanted kidney was good, and the quality of life was comparable to that of healthy individuals. It suggests that kidney transplantation in HIV-positive children with ESRD is safe and effective under adequate preoperative preparation and close postoperative follow-up.

Objective To explore the application effect of bedside critical ultrasound in volume management of acute kidney injury(AKI)donors.Methods Clinical data of 56 AKI donors and 106 recipients from the Transplantation Center of People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from October 1,2020 to May 31,2022 were collected.They were divided into the critical ultrasound group(34 donors,66 recipients)and the traditional central venous pressure(CVP)group(22 donors,40 recipients)according to the volume management methods.The AKI stage and recovery time,renal function indicators(serum creatinine(Scr),cystatin C,estimated glomerular filtration rate),donor Remuzzi score,cold ischemia time,biventricular inotrope usage rate and time,delayed graft function(DGF)incidence and recovery time,and renal function indicators at 6 and 12 months after surgery were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Results There were no statistically significant differences in gender,age,body weight,AKI stage,pre-acquisition renal function indicators,biventricular inotrope usage rate,renal function indicators at 6 and 12 months after surgery,DGF recovery time,donor Remuzzi score and cold ischemia time of the donors and recipients between two groups(all P>0.05).The AKI recovery time,continuous renal replacement therapy rate and biventricular inotrope usage time of donors in the critical ultrasound group were shorter or lower than those in the traditional CVP group(all P<0.05).The incidence of DGF in recipients of the critical ultrasound group was lower than that of the traditional CVP group(P<0.05).Subgroup analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference in Scr at 6 and 12 months after surgery in recipients of the critical ultrasound group(P>0.05),while the Scr at 12 months after surgery was higher than that at 6 months in recipients of the traditional CVP group(P<0.05).Conclusions AKI kidneys may be used for kidney transplantation after active maintenance.Bedside critical ultrasound has unique advantages in volume management of AKI donors and may improve the function of AKI kidneys to a certain extent.

It is believed that the endoscopic manifestations of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome （IC/BPS） such as extensive bleeding and Hunner's ulcers as well as its recurrent and prolonged condition are in line with the characteristics of sores and ulcers in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， and the treatment can be referred to TCM theory of sores and ulcers. The mechanism of IC/BPS is characterized by root deficiency and branch excess. The root cause is deficiency of the spleen and kidney qi， while the manifesting factors are dampness-heat and blood stasis. The treatment is based on the principles of promoting and supplementing， combining with resolving therapy， so that the symptoms could be relieved by promoting blood circulation and clearing heat， unblocking the collaterals and relieve pain. In clinical practice， modified Neituo Shengji Powder （内托生肌散） was commonly used to boost qi and invigorate blood， expel swollen sore and express toxin； combining with Sijunzi Decoction （四君子汤） or Suoquan Pill （缩泉丸） based on specific symptoms to strengthen the spleen and kidneys， thereby reinforcing healthy qi； according to concurrent symptoms like blood stasis， dampness heat， prescription with Sanleng （Cyperus rotundus）， Ezhu （Curcuma aromatica Salisb） to invigorate blood and dissolve stasis， or Yiyiren （Coix lacryma-jobi）， Zexie （Alisma plantago-aquatica） to clear heat and drain dampness.
