OBJECTIVE To analyze the characteristics of severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) induced by oral anticoagulants (OACs), and provide a reference for clinical safety of drug use. METHODS Case reports of SCARs caused by OACs (warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, dabigatran etexilate) were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP and other databases with search terms as “oral anticoagulants”“factor Ⅹa inhibitor”“direct thrombin inhibitor” and their Chinese equivalents. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed. RESULTS A total of 11 articles were included, involving 11 patients in total, among whom there were 5 males (45.5%) and 6 females (54.5%), with an average age of (59.6±21.5) years. The primary underlying diseases were mainly atrial fibrillation, pulmonary embolism, joint replacement and valve replacement. The OACs involved included warfarin in 3 cases, rivaroxaban in 4 cases, apixaban in 2 cases, and dabigatran etexilate in 2 cases. SCARs occurred from 10 hours to 42 days after treatment, and 7 cases (63.6%) within 10 to 28 days. Among 11 patients, 5 cases were diagnosed as drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, 4 cases were diagnosed as Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis, and 2 cases were diagnosed as acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis. The clinical manifestations mainly included rash, fever and mucosal damage, etc. Except for 1 patient who died of sepsis and diffuse intravascular coagulation, the rest of the patients improved or recovered after withdrawal and treatment with glucocorticoids. CONCLUSIONS SCARs are rare but serious adverse reactions caused by OACs, typically occurring 10 to 28 days after medication. Once SCARs are suspected to be caused by OACs, the medication should be discontinued immediately, and a treatment plan should be formulated based on the type of SCARs to ensure the safety of patients’ drug use.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) versus functional electrical stimulation (FES) in the treatment of post-stroke complex regional pain syndrome. Methods:The randomized controlled study included 60 patients with post-stroke complex regional pain syndrome who received treatment at the Wenzhou TCM Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from July 2021 to February 2023. These patients were divided into an rTMS group ( n = 30) and an FES group ( n = 30) using a random number table method. Patients in the rTMS group were treated with rTMS, while those in the FES group were treated with FES. All treatments were performed once daily for 8 consecutive weeks. The clinical efficacy, total active movement score of the fingers, Fugl-Meyer assessment scale score, Activity of Daily Living score, modified Barthel Index score, shoulder joint range of motion, and safety were compared between the two groups. Results:The total response rate in the FES group was 86.7% (26/30), which was significantly higher than 83.3% (25/30) in the rTMS group ( Z = 0.09, P = 0.93). After treatment, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of total active movement score of the fingers and Fugl-Meyer assessment scale score ( P = 0.244, 0.262). No significant differences were found between the two groups in MBI score and ADL score (both P > 0.05). There was also no significant difference in shoulder joint range of motion between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Both rTMS and FES are highly effective for post-stroke complex regional pain syndrome. They can improve upper limb function, enhance daily living abilities, and remodel neurological functions of the brain.

4.Association of light-intensity physical activity, sedentary time and body composition in adolescents
Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(10):1488-1492
Objective:
To explore the association between light intensity physical activity (LPA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with body composition, so as to provide data references for improving adolescent physical health.
Methods:
From August 2020 to January 2021, general information of 694 students in grade one of a high school in Foshan City was collected, and the 24 hour activity behavior and body composition of the students were measured objectively by triaxial accelerometer and bioelectrical impedance tester. Dual component multivariate regression and dual compositional isotemporal substitution model were used to explore the relationship between LPA and SB and body composition.
Results:
LPA was associated with lower fat relative dominance (FRD) (male weekends FRD=-21.44%, female weekly FRD=-17.83%, weekdays FRD=-18.27%, P <0.05), and LPA was also associated with higher muscle relative dominance (MRD) and bone relative dominance (BRD) (male weekends MRD=12.78%, BRD= 12.87 %; female weekly MRD=11.64%, BRD=9.01%; female weekdays MRD=12.02%, BRD=9.23%, P <0.05). Replacing sedentary behavior (SB) with 10 minutes of LPA could reduce fat proportion [male:weekly -0.15(-0.26--0.04), weekdays -0.12 (-0.22--0.02); female:weekly -0.18(-0.27--0.08), weekdays -0.16(-0.25--0.07)) and increase muscle proportion (male:weekly 0.14(0.03-0.24), weekdays 0.11(0.02-0.21); female:weekly 0.17(0.07-0.26), weekdays 0.15(0.07-0.24)].
Conclusion
Interrupting continuous SB with LPA can serve as an intervention measure to promote physical health and fitness in adolescents. School should encourage students to engage in frequent LPA during breaks and after school activities, while avoiding prolonged SB.

Nutrition therapy is considered as the basis for prevention and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), throughout the three-tier prevention strategies of CKD. The primary objective is to delay the disease progression, correct metabolic disorders, and improve the outcomes of CKD. Low protein diet has been recognized as an important therapeutic measure in CKD, but the quantity, quality and source of protein are always the points of contention. Recently, both domestic and foreign guidelines have been updated on the amount of protein intake. In addition to quantity, attention has been paid to the type and diversity of proteins. With the rise of plant-based food consumption and the concept of vegetarian diet, the scientific community began to review the benefits of plant protein again, and a plant-based diet is recommend extensively. Whether the plant-based dietary pattern is also suitable for CKD patients who need a low-protein diet, and whether it could meet the nutritional needs of CKD patients are hot topics, this article reviews the recent progress of these research hotspots.

Refractory constipation usually refers to constipation with no response to 4 weeks of drug treatment or 3 months of pelvic floor biofeedback training. Chronic constipation is a common disease mainly affecting middle-aged and elderly individuals. However, less than 20% of the patients have received clinical evaluation and systematic intervention. According to the symptoms and results of anorectal function test, patients with chronic constipation can be generally classified as functional constipation, irritable bowel syndrome with constipation and defecatory disorders. This article made a brief summary on the clinical evaluation and drug therapy of refractory constipation.

Resveratrol (3, 5, 4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) was first identified from white hellebore (Veratrum grandiflorum) root and began to attract interest when its presence in red wine and cardiovascular activities were reported, leading to speculation of its contribution to the 'French paradox'. Besides the cardiovascular protection, potential health benefits of resveratrol include calorie restriction-like effects, cancer prevention and adjunctive therapy, and neuroprotection. In order to achieve translational applications of these potential benefits, pharmacokinetic research was performed for plasma pharmacokinetics and related disposition of orally dosed resveratrol. This paper summarizes the known human pharmacokinetic characteristics of resveratrol after oral administration and various attempts to improve its systemic exposure level from the perspectives of systemic exposure and in vivo process. However, available pharmacokinetic data of resveratrol has raised conundrums that limit translating potential benefits to clinics: (1) differences between the unchanged resveratrol used in bioactivity studies and its major circulating forms (i.e., metabolites) after dosing; (2) resveratrol's test concentrations used to exert in vitro bioactivities related to the benefits significantly higher than the compound's clinically achievable concentrations; (3) resveratrol's concentrations achievable (estimated from the pharmacokinetics) from doses used to produce in vivo efficacy significantly lower than the effective concentrations found in studies of related action mechanism (suggesting unreliability of test mechanism). In the last part of this review, we provide recommendations for future pharmacokinetic investigations of resveratrol, including a more systematic investigation of systemic exposure to resveratrol metabolites, their access to in vivo loci responsible for the benefits, and their disposition in target cells; an investigation of colon-luminal exposure to resveratrol and its metabolites for accessing colonic microbiota; and a multi-compound pharmacokinetic investigation of red wine.
10.Regulation effect of siRNA on β-globin in erythrocytes of hemoglobin H disease
Chinese Journal of Hematology 2021;42(12):1015-1020
Objective:To investigate the regulatory effect of targeted siRNA on β-globin in erythroid cells cultured by targeted differentiation in vitro and provide new theoretical support for gene therapy for hemoglobin H (HbH) disease.Methods:Based on the β-globin gene expression results, the optimal siRNA sequence and its effective action dose were screened in erythroid cells, and the effect of the effective dose of the optimal siRNA on the regulation of β-globin expression and apoptosis in erythroid cells was examined. The effective dose of the optimal siRNA was applied to erythroid cells with HbH disease. The effects of transfected siRNAs on red line cells with HbH disease were comprehensively evaluated by measuring the expression of β-globin, reactive oxygen species (ROS) , and apoptosis rates.Results:Within 96 hours after transfection, siRNA2 significantly downregulated β-globin expression in in vitro cultured erythroid cells, but not α-globin. siRNA silencing effect and duration of effect were dose-dependent. siRNA2 downregulated β-globin expression, reduced intracellular ROS production, and decreased apoptosis rate in erythroid cells with HbH disease.Conclusion:Targeted siRNAs can downregulate β-globin expression, reduce intracellular ROS production, and downregulate apoptosis rate in erythroid cells with HbH disease.
