Journal of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2025;42(9):2140-2147
Objective To evaluate the effects of Xue Ji's time-based tonic therapy on nutritional status and diaphragm thickness in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)patients with lung-kidney deficiency syndrome.Methods Eighty eligible patients were treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine(Chongqing Hospital/Beibei District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine)between January 1 and October 1,2024.The patients were randomly divided into trial group and control group by random number table method,40 cases in each group.The control group was treated with Salmeterol-Fluticasone Propionate(Seretide)plus Xue Ji's time-based tonic therapy.The trial group was treated with Xue Ji's time-based tonic therapy on the basis of treatment for the control group.The trial group took Buzhong Yiqi Pills at 7-9 AM and Liuwei Dihuang Pills at 5-7 PM daily for 3 months.The changes in body mass,BMI,nutritional markers(hemoglobin,albumin,total protein),accessory respiratory muscle use score,diaphragm thickness[TDI(end-inspiration),TDE(end-expiration),TDImax(maximal inspiration)],diaphragm thickening rate(TF index),TCM syndrome scores,mMRC dyspnea scale,and CAT scores,and the clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups.Results(1)A total of 5 cases fell off during the study,and a total of 75 patients were finally included,including 38 in the trial group and 37 in the control group.(2)After 3 months of treatment,the total effective rate of the trial group was 86.84%(33/38),and that of the control group was 72.97%(27/37).The intergroup comparison(by chi-square test)showed that the curative effect of the trial group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P<0.05).(3)In terms of nutritional status,the body mass,BMI,hemoglobin,albumin,total protein and other nutritional indexes of the two groups were improved compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the improvement of the trial group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).(4)In terms of diaphragm function,after treatment,the diaphragm thickness(TDI,TDE and TDImax)and diaphragm thickening rate(TF index)in the two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment(P<0.05),and the increase in the trial group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).(5)In terms of each score,after treatment,the scores of TCM syndromes,auxiliary respiratory muscle use,mMRC and CAT in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and the decrease in the trial group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion Xue Ji's time-based tonic therapy combined with Seretide significantly improves symptoms(cough,expectoration,dyspnea),nutritional status and diaphragm function,and increases diaphgram thickness in stable COPD with lung-kidney deficiency,demonstrating higher clinical value than western treatment alone.

Objective:To explore the potential profile categories of self-disgust in young and middle-aged breast cancer patients, and analyze the influencing factors of different categories.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used, and 270 young and middle-aged breast cancer patients admitted to the thyroid and breast cancer ward and oncology ward of Fenyang Hospital in Shanxi Province from September 2023 to April 2024 were the study subjects. The survey was conducted transect surveys using the general information questionnaire, Questionnaire for the Assessment of Self-Disgust, Social Constraints Scale, the Chronic Illness Rejection and Discrimination Scale. Potential categories of self-disgust in young and middle-aged breast cancer patients were explored using latent profile analysis, and unordered multinomial Logistic regression was employed to investigate their influencing factors.Results:A total of 234 young and middle-aged female breast cancer patients were included, with the age of (45.61±10.90) years old. Latent profile analysis revealed three potential categories of self-hatred in these patients: low disgust group (45.30%, 106/234), medium disgust group (41.45%, 97/234), and generalized high disgust group (13.25%, 31/234). Compared to the low disgust group, patients with more comorbidities and poorer self-care ability were more likely to belong to the generalized high disgust group ( OR=0.244, 8.775, both P<0.05). Patients with a longer duration of illness and higher scores on the social constraints scale and chronic illness rejection and discrimination scale were more likely to fall into the medium disgust group and the generalized high disgust group ( OR values were 0.156 - 1.317, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The level of self-disgust in young and middle-aged breast cancer patients is significantly heterogeneous. Nursing staff should formulate personalized intervention strategies according to this classification characteristic, which can be cut from the perspective of reducing patients' social restriction and chronic illness rejection and discrimination to improve patients' acceptance of the disease and self-acceptance level, and then reduce their self-disgust.

Objective:To explore the categories of health behavior autonomy of elderly breast cancer patients and their influencing factors, so as to provide reference for developing targeted strategies.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 300 elderly breast cancer patients from Fenyang Hospital in Shanxi Province from December 2023 to May 2024, and a cross-sectional survey was conducted using general information questionnaire, Functional Indicator of Autonomy (FIA), Simplified Bidirectional Social Support Scale (SBSS), and Fried Frailty Scale (FFS) to explore the potential categories of autonomy by using latent profile analysis, and multicategorical Logistic regression was used to analyze the effects of each factor on their different categories.Results:Validly recovered questionnaires were 256, and the female elderly breast cancer patients aged (65.54 ± 5.34) years. The autonomy of health behaviors of breast cancer patients was divided into three groups: "low autonomy group" (35.56%, 91/256), "medium autonomy group" (48.82%, 125/256), "high autonomy group" (15.62%, 40/256) in 3 potential profiles. Logistic regression analysis showed that patients′knowledge of the disease, debilitation, comorbidities, and bi-directional social support were influential factors in patients′autonomy in health behaviors ( OR values were 0.283-4.310, all P<0.05). Conclusions:There is significant heterogeneity in the level of health behavior autonomy among elderly breast cancer patients. Healthcare professionals should focus on the characteristics of different patients′autonomy and give personalized guidance and nursing interventions to improve the autonomy of patients′health management, in order to provide a basis for intervention to improve the health behaviors of elderly breast cancer.

Traditional right ventricular pacing is non-physiological pacing, can lead to ventricular electrical and mechanical dyssynchmnization, which increases the risk of heart failure and atrial fibrillation. His-Purkinje system pacing is the hot research of physiological pacing method. The high thresholds and difficult implantation of his bundle pacing limits its application and popularization. In recent years, domestic scholars have proposed left bundle branch area pacing. Many studies have confirmed the safety and feasibility of left bundle branch area pacing. Left bundle branch pacing transmit down the conduction system, which can effectively achieve ventricular electrical and mechanical synchrony, At the same time, it also has many others advantages, such as good and stable electrical parameters, significantly improved cardiac function, and pacing across blocked parts. It will become the main development direction of physiological pacing in the future. This article aims to review the origin, standard and classification, advantages and limitations of left bundle branch area pacing.
