Guishenwan （GSW）， originating from Jingyue Quanshu （Zhang Jingyue's Complete Works）， is a classic traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） formula with a history of over 400 years. Designed for kidney essence deficiency syndrome， it is clinically applied to treat diseases associated with essence-blood deficiency， such as ovarian insufficiency diseases in women， oligospermia-induced infertility in men， and lumbar disc herniation. Numerous studies have confirmed its significant efficacy and advantages in managing ovarian insufficiency diseases， including diminished ovarian reserve （DOR）， premature ovarian insufficiency （POI）， and premature ovarian failure （POF）. According to recent literature， the therapeutic mechanisms of GSW in treating ovarian insufficiency diseases involve regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis （HPOA） function， ameliorating reproductive endocrine disorders， improving ovarian function， modulating relevant signaling pathways， and exerting immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. A review of GSW in clinical treatment revealed that clinical applications of GSW， particularly in combination with Western medicine， not only alleviate symptoms but also compensate for the limitations of hormone replacement therapy， thereby reducing recurrence， minimizing adverse reactions， and enhancing safety. This review aims to provide a scientific basis for the rational clinical use of GSW in ovarian insufficiency diseases， offer innovative TCM strategies for developing novel ovarian-protective drugs， promote the integration of TCM and Western medicine in reproductive medicine， and ultimately contribute a Chinese approach to global management of ovarian insufficiency diseases.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the current status of psychological flexibility among nursing man-agers and identify its influencing factors,thereby providing a basis for developing targeted intervention strategies.Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted from October to December 2024 using convenience sampling to enroll 300 nursing managers in Guangdong Province,China.Data were collected through a general information questionnaire,the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Ⅱ(AAQ-Ⅱ),the Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS),and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire(SCSQ).Results The mean AAQ-Ⅱ score of nursing managers was 28.40±8.07.Psychological flexibility(AAQ-Ⅱ score)showed a significant negative correlation with perceived social support(PSSS score:48.30±12.02;r=-0.755,P＜0.05)and positive coping style(SCSQ-positive subscale:17.74±5.49;r=-0.765,P＜0.05),while exhibiting a positive correlation with negative coping style(SCSQ-negative subscale:11.34±4.05;r=0.717,P＜0.05).Multiple regression analysis revealed that social support level,coping style,age,years of management experience,and professional title were significant predictors of psychological flexibility(P＜0.05).Conclusion Nursing managers demonstrated a moderate level of psychological flexibility.Interventions tailored to address social support,coping strategies,and demographic factors(e.g.,age,management experience,and professional title)are warranted to enhance psychological flexibility in this population.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of different volumes of ropivacaine for iliopsoas muscle plane block on quadriceps strength in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty.Methods:In this prospective study, 75 patients of either sex, aged 40-80 yr, with a body mass index of 18.5-30.0 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ-Ⅲ, undergoing elective hip arthroplasty from June to December 2023 at Baoding First Central Hospital, were randomized into 3 groups ( n=25 each) by using a computer-generated randomization sequence: ropivacaine 5 ml group (group Ⅰ), ropivacaine 10 ml group (group Ⅱ), and ropivacaine 15 ml group (group Ⅲ). Before induction of anesthesia, iliopsoas muscle plane block was performed with 0.5% ropivacaine 5, 10 and 15 ml in Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups, respectively. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block was carried out using 0.5% ropivacaine 5 ml in all the three groups. The quadriceps muscle strength and status of quadriceps motor block in the affected limb were assessed on admission to postanesthesia care unit (PACU) and at 2, 4, 6, 24 and 48 h after surgery. The consumption of dezocine, score for patient′s satisfaction with analgesia, and occurrence of complications were recorded. Results:Compared with group Ⅰ, the quadriceps muscle strength scores were significantly decreased on admission to PACU and at 2, 4 and 6 h postoperatively in group Ⅲ, the rate of quadriceps motor block was significantly increased on admission to PACU in group Ⅱ, and the rate of quadriceps motor block was significantly increased on admission to PACU and at 2 and 4 h postoperatively in group Ⅲ ( P<0.05), and the consumption of dezocine was significantly decreased in group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The recommended volume of ropivacaine for iliopsoas plane block is 10 ml in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty.

Objective:To analyze the research progress and hotspots of clinical pathway informatization at home and abroad, and provide references and guidance for the construction of clinical pathway informatization in China.Methods:The relevant literature on clinical pathway informatization research were retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Web of Science databases, which were published from January 1, 2000 to July 20, 2023. Bibliometric and thematic analysis methods were used to analyze the commonalities and differences in annual publication volume, high-frequency author collaboration networks, high-frequency keywords, and research hotspots of domestic and foreign literature.Results:This study included a total of 257 domestic literature and 174 foreign literature. The number of domestic publications had gradually increased since 2005, with the highest number in 2012 and a significant downward trend after 2015; The overall number of foreign publications was on the rise. Domestic high-frequency authors mostly came from medical institutions, while foreign high-frequency authors were mainly concentrated in universities and research institutes, and both had formed author collaboration networks. However, the research continuity of foreign authors were better than that of domestic authors. There were commonalities in the electronicization and semantics of clinical pathways, process design and management, disease management, and clinical decision support in relevant research hotspots at home and abroad, but there were significant differences in system integration, process design, pathway analysis, and disease management. Foreign related researches had the advantages of leading technology.Conclusions:There were certain similarities and differences in the research topics of clinical pathway informatization at home and abroad, and relevant studies abroad had shown certain frontiers in the application of new technologies. In the future, China should learn from international advanced experience, utilize emerging technologies such as machine learning and big language models, strengthen patient-centered, promote the precise and intelligent development of clinical pathway management, and improve the quality of medical services.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of smoking on the sedative potency of remimazolam combined with alfentanil in patients undergoing painless gastroscopy.Methods:This was a prospecctive single-center study. American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ male patients, aged 30-75 yr, with a body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, undergoing elective painless gastroscopy at Baoding First Central Hospital from October to December 2023, were divided into non-smoking group, mild smoking group (smoking index≤200), moderate smoking group (200 1 after 3 min of remimazolam injection or development of bucking, swallowing, body movement and other responses that affected operations during insertion of the endoscope. Results:A total of 85 patients were finally included, with 21 in non-smoking group, 21 in mild smoking group, 20 in moderate smoking group and 23 in heavy smoking group. The ED 50 of remimazolam was significantly higher in smoking groups than in non-smoking group ( P<0.05). The ED 50 of remimazolam gradually increased in mild, moderate and heavy smoking groups ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Smoking can decrease the sedative potency of remimazolam when combined with alfentanil in patients undergoing painless gastroscopy.
