It is proposed that cold pathogen plays an important promoting role in the onset and progression of hyperlipidemia. External exposure to cold, the gradual generation of internal cold, and the covert consumption of yang qi caused by modern lifestyle factors may all provide a pathological basis for the development of hyperlipidemia. Based on the pathogenic characteristics of cold, namely its tendency to damage yang, induce stagnation, and cause contraction, this paper suggests that the treatment of hyperlipidemia should focus on warming and tonifying, warming and resolving, and warming and unblocking, respectively. This provides a theoretical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of hyperlipidemia with traditional Chinese medicine.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for anticoagulant therapy and vaginal bleeding management during medical abortion in patients with missed abortion after aortic mechanical valve replacement surgery. METHODS Clinical pharmacists conducted pharmaceutical monitoring on a patient with missed abortion after aortic mechanical valve replacement surgery, and analyzed the correlation between warfarin use and abortion. In response to gingival bleeding and an increase in the international normalized ratio (INR) after taking mifepristone, clinical pharmacists recommended discontinuing warfarin based on bleeding risk and INR changes; for the selection of sex hormones after missed abortion, clinical pharmacists suggested that estradiol gel combined with progesterone should be used in sequential treatment, supplemented by Xian yimucao capsules, to accelerate the elimination of residual tissue and congestion in uterine cavity. RESULTS The physician followed the advice of the clinical pharmacist and did not prolong the patient’s hospital stay due to excessive vaginal bleeding during treatment. Warfarin treatment was restarted on the day of discharge, and INR remained stable within the target anticoagulation range after discharge without any adverse events such as thromboembolism. CONCLUSIONS In patients with missed abortion after aortic valve replacement surgery, mifepristone may enhance the anticoagulant effect of warfarin and increase the risk of bleeding during medical abortion. It is recommended to discontinue warfarin before medication. Clinical pharmacists play a crucial role in the development of anticoagulation plans, identification of drug-drug interactions, assessment of bleeding risks, and selection of postoperative sex hormones. Through full pharmaceutical monitoring, they ensure the safety of patients’ medication.

Autoimmunity and the activation of immune cells are closely related to the occurrence of chronic spontaneous urticaria, while the gut microbiota participates in multiple physiological activities including the regulation of the host's immunity. Gut microbiota in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria has unique structural composition and metabolic features. Gut microbiota imbalance and secondary short-chain fatty acid deficiency may be important causes for the occurrence of the disease and aggravation of inflammation. Studies have shown that probiotics can improve the clinical manifestations of patients with urticaria. This review summarizes the research progress in the correlations of gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids with chronic spontaneous urticaria.

Objective To investigate the status of feeding intolerance in patients with enteral nutrition after lung transplantation and analyze its influencing factors,to provide a reference for formulating a reasonable enteral nutrition plan and improving patients'nutritional status.Methods Convenient sampling method was used to retrospectively collect the clinical data of 115 patients who received enteral nutrition support after lung transplantation and were hospitalized in the ICU of a tertiary hospital in Guangdong Province from August 2022 to November 2023.According to the occurrence of feeding intolerance during ICU hospitalization,the patients were divided into a feeding tolerance group and a feeding intolerance group.Univariate and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of feeding intolerance patients with enteral nutrition after lung transplantation.Results Within 7 days of initiating enteral nutrition,a total of 63 patients developed feeding intolerance,with an incidence of 54.78%.Among them,the incidence of feeding intolerance was relatively high within 1 to 3 days after initiating enteral feeding.The clinical manifestations of feeding intolerance were diarrhea,bloating,gastric retention,vomiting/regurgitation,among which the diarrhea was the highest incidence(87.30%).Logi-stic regression analysis showed that intraoperative net balance volume(OR=0.999),intraoperative blood transfusion(OR=1.001)volume and diabetes history(OR=0.170)were independent influencing factors for feeding intolerance in patients with enteral nutrition after lung transplantation(P<0.05).Conclusion There was a high incidence of feed-ing intolerance in patients with enteral nutrition after lung transplantation.Patients undergoing lung transplantation who have a high net intraoperative fluid balance,receive a low volume of intraoperative blood transfusions,and have a history of diabetes are at a lower risk of developing feeding intolerance when receiving postoperative enteral nutrition.When starting enteral nutrition,medical staff should dynamically evaluate the risk factors of feeding intolerance,screen high-risk patients as early as possible,and formulate reasonable enteral nutrition programs to improve the nutritional status of patients and promote their rehabilitation.

In recent years, hyperuricemia (HUA) has shown a rapidly increasing incidence and tends to occur in increasingly young people, with a wide range of cardiac, renal, joint, and cancerous hazards and all-cause mortality associations. Western medicine treatment has limitations such as large liver and kidney damage, medication restriction, and easy recurrence. The intestine is the major extra-renal excretion pathway for uric acid (UA), and the intestinal microecology can be regulated to promote UA degradation. It offers great potential to develop UA-lowering strategies that target the intestinal microecology, which are promising to provide safer and more effective therapeutic approaches. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can treat HUA via multiple targets and multiple pathways from a holistic view, with low toxicity and side effects. Studies have shown that intestinal microecology is a crucial target for TCM in the treatment of HUA. However, its specific mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated. Focusing on the key role of intestinal microecology in HUA, this review explores the relationship between intestinal microecology and HUA in terms of intestinal flora, intestinal metabolites, intestinal UA transporters, and intestinal barriers. Furthermore, we summarize the research progress in TCM treatment of HUA by targeting the intestinal microecology, with the aim of providing references for the development of TCM intervention strategies for HUA and the direction of future research.
