This paper discussed the differentiation and treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in traditional Chinese medicine, based on the theory of "yin qi descends, while all yang qi ascends” from Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》). The core pathogenesis of CINV is attributed to chemotherapy-induced injury to the middle jiao (焦), resulting in the separation of yin and yang and loss of their mutual communication. Acute and explosive CINV is often characterized by "all yang qi ascends", with stomach yang constraint transforming into fire, and qi counterflow leading to vomiting, which can be treated by unblocking stomach yang, draining fire and scattering the counterflow, with Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder (藿香正气散) and medicinals of clearing function. For delayed cases, which are often due to "yin qi descends", and the accumulation of turbid yin obstructs and constrains the deficient yang, the treatment should focus on promoting qi flow to eliminate turbidity, unblocking and boosting yang qi, and Chengqi-series Formulas (承气类方) or Xiao Banxia Decoction (小半夏汤) can be considered. Refractory and anticipated cases usually involve stomach-kidney deficiency and zang-fu (脏腑) organs disharmony, making yin and yang difficult to restore balance, for which the treatment should focus on nourishing both the stomach and kidneys and harmonize the zang-fu organs, with formulas such as Fuzi Lizhong Decoction (附子理中汤) or Xiaoyao Powder (逍遥散) modified as appropriate.

It is proposed that yangming (阳明) turbid heat and dysfunction of the chong and ren (冲任) vessels are the key pathogenesis underlying abnormal uterine bleeding caused by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The general principle of treatment is to clear and drain the yangming channel and resolve turbid heat. During the acute bleeding phase, the approach is to clear heat, cool the blood, consolidate the chong vessel, and stop bleeding. During the chronic phase, the focus shifts to resolving phlegm and removing stasis, unblocking and purging qi movement. And during the late stage, the method of boosting qi and nourishing yin, consolidating the root and regulating menstruation is suggested. In clinical practice, the self-formulated Yishen Quzhuo Formula (益肾祛浊方) serves as the foundation, with flexible modifications and adjustments made according to disease stage and individual clinical presentation.

OBJECTIVE To develop a pharmacist-led intervention model for reducing drug-related medical insurance claim denial risks, so as to provide practical references for healthcare institutions in fulfilling their primary responsibility for medical insurance fund supervision. METHODS A risk matrix method was employed by the pharmacists to assess the risks associated with drug‑related medical insurance claim rejections in our hospital during 2024. Intervention measures were developed targeting high‑risk factors (including inappropriate indications for medical insurance coverage, exceeding the covered treatment course, and inappropriateness of gender and age) from three dimensions, namely organizational structure, technical prevention and control, and closed‑loop management. Changes in drug‑related claim rejection data were compared between 2024 (pre‑intervention) and 2025 (post‑intervention), and the interception effect of the pre‑prescription review system was evaluated after the intervention. RESULTS After the intervention, the total amount of drug‑related medical insurance claim rejections in our hospital was reduced by 57.24% compared with that before the intervention, and the number of rejected items decreased from 10 108 to 2 892. Specifically, the number of rejected items due to inappropriate indications, exceeded treatment course, inappropriate gender, and inappropriate age was reduced by 70.94%, 74.26%, 83.86%, and 96.70%, respectively. Throughout the year following the intervention, a total of 5.605 yuan million in outpatient prescription drug amounts and 4.683 million yuan in inpatient medication order amounts that did not meet the insurance‑limited payment requirements were intercepted by the pre‑prescription review system. The proportion of drug‑related claim rejection amount to the total medical service claim rejection amount of our hospital decreased to 19.7%. CONCLUSIONS The pharmacist-led multi-department collaborative, technical prevention and control, and dynamic optimization integrated full-process intervention model is highly operable and has significant practical effects. It has important promotion value in reducing drug-related medical insurance claim denial risks.

This study aimed to address the limitations of current diagnostic methods for well leg compartment syndrome(WLCS),including invasiveness,high costs,and insufficient accuracy,by proposing a solution based on electrical impedance tomography(EIT)technology.The electrical response characteristics of the human calf muscle to changes in compartment pressure using EIT were investigated,aiming to visualize the effects of pressure variations on the electrical properties within the compartment and to provide technical support for early non-invasive detection of WLCS.EIT sensors were placed on the right calf of the experimental subjects,with pressure applied externally to the right thigh.Measurements were conducted in two phases:pre-pressure(pre)and post-pressure(post).Pre-pressure,the conductivity distribution image σpre was measured when the calf was placed horizontally.Post-pressure,the calf was raised at an angle of approximately 30°,and pressures of 0,40,80,and 120 mmHg were applied to the right thigh,and the corresponding conductivity distribution images σP=0,σP=40,σP=80,andσP=120were recorded.To quantitatively analyze the pressure effects on the compartment response,paired sample t-test was used to assess the spatial-mean conductivity((σ))from the EIT reconstructed images.Compared to the horizontal position of the right calf,raising the calf at approximately 30° resulted in a significant increase in the spatial-mean conductivity(σ)of the M1 compartment.Furthermore,when pressure was applied to the right thigh while the calf remained at a 30° angle,the spatial-mean conductivity of the M1 compartment σM1 showed an increasing trend with rising pressure.The results indicated that as compartment pressure increased,the volume of extracellular fluid and ion concentration significantly increased,leading to an increase in conductivity,which reflected ischemia and hypoxia in muscle tissue and the related pathophysiological changes.EIT,due to its high sensitivity to conductivity changes,offered a potential effective diagnostic method for non-invasively monitoring the onset and progression of muscle compartment syndrome.
