Functional dyspepsia （FD） is a prioritized disease category where traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） demonstrates distinct therapeutic advantages. The current western medicine treatment for FD is mainly based on proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic agents， with digestive enzymes， probiotics and antidepressants serving as adjuvant medication， yet such therapies still have certain limitations. TCM treatment for FD includes oral administration of Chinese herbal formulas and Chinese patent medicines， as well as external TCM therapies such as acupuncture and moxibustion， acupoint application， hot medicinal compress therapy， rubbing with ointment， medicinal iontophoresis， auricular acupoint therapy and tui na （Chinese medical massage）. The combined treatment of FD with integrated TCM and western medicine can significantly improve clinical effectiveness and reduce adverse reactions. The common mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of both TCM and western medicine revolve around the core pathological processes of FD， mainly focusing on restoring gastrointestinal motility， regulating the levels of brain-gut peptides， modulating intestinal microecology， and ameliorating inflammatory status. The differential mechanisms lie in the precise targeting feature of western medicine versus the holistic-regulating and multi-target characteristics of TCM， and the two approaches exert a synergistic effect to enhance efficacy. This paper proposes to leverage the advantages of TCM in holistic regulation and the strengths of western medicine in targeted treatment， so as to provide personalized and comprehensive treatment regimens for FD patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to establish whether computed tomography (CT)–determined sarcopenia is a useful imaging biomarker for postoperative outcome in elderly colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, and construct sarcopenia-based nomograms to predict individual outcomes after surgery. Materials and Methods: CT imaging data of 298 elderly CRC patients who underwent surgery in 2012-2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Skeletal muscle mass was determined by CT, and sarcopenia was diagnosed based on the optimal cutoff value determined by X-tile program. The correlation between sarcopenia and risk of preoperative nutrition and postoperative complications was evaluated. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to determine survival predictors. Sarcopenia-based nomograms were developed based on multivariate analysis, and calibrated using concordance index and calibration curves. Results: A total 132 patients (44.3%) had sarcopenia based on the optimum cutoff values (29.9 cm2/m2 for women and 49.5 cm2/m2 for men). Sarcopenia was an independent risk factor for preoperative nutrition (p < 0.001; odds ratio [OR], 3.405; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.948 to 5.954) and postoperative complications (p=0.008; OR, 2.192; 95% CI, 1.231 to 3.903). Sarcopenia was an independent predictor for poor progression-free survival (p < 0.001; hazard ratio [HR], 2.175; 95% CI, 1.489 to 3.179) and overall survival (p < 0.001; HR, 2.524; 95% CI, 1.721 to 3.703). Based on multivariate analysis, we produced four nomograms that had better predictive performance. Conclusion CT-determined sarcopenia is a useful imaging biomarker for predicting preoperative nutritional risk, postoperative complications, and long-term outcomes in elderly CRC patients. The sarcopenia-based nomograms can provide a scientific basis for guiding therapeutic schedule and follow-up strategies.

OBJECTIVE： To provide reference for optimizing the treatment of children with infective endocarditis. METHODS： Clinical pharmacists provide whole process pharmaceutical care for a child with congenital heart disease and infective endocarditis admitted to our hospital in April 2017.  According to the individual situation of child， when therapy efficacy was poor， medication suggestions were put forward by timely referring to the guide and literature as well as combined with pharmacists’ work experience. RESULTS： After treatment with vancomycin at normal dose of 38 mg/（kg·d）， the vancomycin blood concentration （1.3 μg/mL） was low， and the treatment effect was poor. Clinical pharmacist made two suggestions to adjust the dose of vancomycin. The first dose was 45 mg/（kg·d）， the second dose was 60 mg/（kg·d）； pediatrician adopt clinical pharmacist recommendations completely. After treatment， the child’s body temperature was normal； vancomycin blood trough concentration increased to 5.8-6.5 μg/mL， and the disease was controlled. CONCLUSIONS： During vancomycin treatment of infective endocarditis in children， clinical pharmacists should provide pharmaceutical care throughout the course and pay close attention to the blood trough concentration of vancomycin in order to ensure the rational use of drugs in children.

Aim To investigate the effect of genistein on apoptosis in triple-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and the underlying mechanisms.Methods MTT assay was used to detect the inhibition rate on breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells of genistein.Hoechst 33258 staining was applied to determine the effect of genistein on morphology of MDA-MB-231 cells.qRT-PCR was employed to detect the mRNA expression of EGFR in MDA-MB-231 cells.Western blot was utilized to determine the expression of Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3, EGFR, Akt, and p-Akt.The expressions of Akt and p-Akt proteins in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells were detected after treated with Akt activator insulin, genistein and in combination with insulin.Results Genistein inhibited the viability of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells in a time-dependent manner.The results of Hoechst 33258 staining showed a typical apoptotic morphological changes of MDA-MB-231 cells after treatment of genistein for 36 h.qRT-PCR showed that the mRNA expression of EGFR in MDA-MB-231 cells decreased after treated with genistein for 36 h.The expression levels of Bcl-2, EGFR, Akt, p-Akt, ERK, p-ERK were significantly down-regulated(P<0.01) compared with control.While, the expression of Bax, caspase-3 was significantly up-regulated (P<0.01).It was observed that p-Akt was significantly activated after the treatment of Akt activator insulin (P<0.01), however, significantly down-regulated (P<0.01) when treated with genistein.Conclusion Genistein could inhibit the growth of triple-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and induce apoptosis, which probably involves regulating EGFR/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To systematically review articles about therapeutic drug monitoring of vancomycin in Chinese adults, so as to provide a reference of vancomycin trough concentrations for clinical evidence-based medicine.Methods Literature concerning vancomycin therapeutic drug monitoring were electronically retrieved in, CBM, Wanfang data, CNKI and Vip.Furthermore, the articles written in English by Chinese author in PubMed, EMbase were included.All the data were searched from inception of the database or network to Aug.2014.Two reviews independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and assessed the quality of literature using the Combieg and NOS.Analyzing the types of studies, the number of therapeutic monitoring of vancomycin, trough serum concentration, clinical outcome and renal function.Results A total of 35 studies including 32 cross-sectional studies and 3 cohort studies were included, all studies were observational studies.3099 patients with 5206 blood concentrations monitoring results were eligible for final analyses in all 32 cross-sectional studies.The rates of trough serum concentration in 5-15 mg/L was 53.6%.Compared with the trough concentrations between 5 and 15 mg/L, clinical cure rate was no significant difference in the trough concentrations of over 15μg/mL.However, the incidence rate was significantly reduced in renal toxicity in 5-15 mg/L trough serum concentration.Conclusions For adults, trough serum concentration of vancomycin should adopt the 5-15 mg/L in China.However, considering lack of high-level evidence, so it needs to be studied further.
