Based on the discussions in the The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》), it is proposed that in the course of the disease, "bind" represents the initial stage of pulmonary nodules, while "accumulation" represents the final form. In terms of the pathogenesis, "two colds interacting" represented by "body cold" and "cold fluid retention" are the prerequisites for the formation of pulmonary nodules, while "disorder of qi" represented by "fainting" is the core of the formation. The specific manifestation is the disturbance of pivot of shaoyang (少阳) or shaoyin (少阴), resulting in a complex of cold and heat, and then phlegm and stasis are suddenly generated and further formed into nodules. Therefore, the treatment principle should be to regulate the cardinal mechanism, dissolve phlegm and blood stasis. Depending on the complex degree of cold and heat, it is suggested to use Chaihu Guizhi Decoction (柴胡桂枝汤), Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction (柴胡桂枝干姜汤), or Chaihu Xianxiong Decoction (柴胡陷胸汤) for disturbance of shaoyang pivot, while for shaoyin pivot dysfunction, modified Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction (麻黄附子细辛汤) or Shengjiang Powder (升降散) can be used.

Objective:To evaluate the guidelines on discharged health education for solid organ transplant recipients at home and abroad, analyze the characteristics of each guideline, so as to provide reference for the development of health education for organ transplantation in China.Methods:This was a guideline quality evaluation study. The guidelines on health education for discharged recipients with solid organ transplantation were searched on the websites of clinical practice guidelines, the websites of transplantation professional associations, and Chinese and English databases at home and abroad through computers. The search time limit was from January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2022. The quality of guidelines that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria was evaluated using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation Ⅱ (AGREE Ⅱ) .Results:A total of 8 guidelines were included. The overall quality evaluation of the guideline was Grade A ( n=2) and Grade B ( n=6) . In terms of standardized scores in six areas of quality evaluation, the average values of scope and purpose, stakeholder involvement, rigour of development, clarity and presentation, applicability as well as editorial independence were 87.62% (70.37%-100.00%) , 75.46% (44.44%-97.22%) , 66.54% (43.75%-93.06%) , 90.16% (77.78%-96.30%) , 48.18% (20.83%-68.75%) and 74.13% (8.30%-97.22%) , respectively. The recommendations of the guidelines covered 9 aspects: team composition and support services, drug management, infection prevention, complication management, diet and nutrition, daily life and social reintegration, contraception and reproduction, psychological guidance and follow-up review. Conclusions:The development of guidelines for different types of solid organ transplantation varies. The overall quality of the guidelines needs to be improved and the content needs to be refined. In the future, we can learn from foreign high-quality guidelines to carry out localization practice, so as to build a health education related guideline for discharge of solid organ transplantation that is suitable for China's national conditions as soon as possible.

Objective:To understand the results of blind evaluation of dissertation of three-year doctors and eight-year medical doctors, and to explore the improvement measures of eight-year program education.Methods:The data analysis method was manipulated. A total of 47 eight-year doctoral and 88 three-year doctoral dissertations submitted by the first clinical college of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2020 were selected as the research material. SPSS 17.0 was used to perform Chi-square test to compare the itemized evaluation opinions of the dissertation, Spearman test was used to analyze the correlation between the defense opinions, itemized evaluation opinions and the overall evaluation.Results:The gap between eight-year and three-year doctoral dissertation is mainly manifested in innovation and research value ( χ2=9.10, P=0.003), topic and review ( χ2=5.70, P=0.017), while there is no significant difference in the overall assessment and oral defense suggestion. The main influencing factor of dissertation defense suggestion for both doctors was the dissertation standardization (eight-year: r s=0.53, P<0.001; three-year: r s=0.45, P<0.001). The evaluation results of eight-year doctor dissertation were closely related to basic knowledge and scientific research ability ( r s=0.74, P<0.001). Conclusion:There is no significant difference between eight-year doctors and full-time doctors in research attitude. But there was a certain gap in scientific research and innovation ability among them. It is suggested to clarify the teaching objectives, formulate and refine the evaluation system of dissertations, and strengthen the cultivation of scientific research interest and academic belief of eight-year study program.

Objective:To investigate the effect of fluid resuscitation and circulatory support, directed by different target mean arterial pressure (MAP), on abdominal blood flow, gastrointestinal function and inflammatory response in septic shock patients with hypertension.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. Hypertensive patients with septic shock admitted to the department of intensive care unit (ICU) of Liuzhou People's Hospital from January 1, 2019 to May 31, 2020 were enrolled. Patients were randomly divided into the low MAP groups (low standard group, LS group) or high MAP group (high standard group, HS group). According to the Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines in 2016 and the updated guideline in 2018, all patients were given treatment of primary disease, fluid resuscitation, supportive management. The target MAP was 65-70 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) in LS group, and was 75-80 mmHg in HS group. Acute gastrointestinal function injury (AGI) classification was performed on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day. The mean flow rate (Vm) and resistance index (RI) of superior mesenteric artery were evaluated using ultrasound, and the gastrointestinal function was dynamically evaluated using the modified single section ultrasonic gastric antrum method. The gastric antrum movement index (MI) and gastric empaging time (GET) were recorded. The levels of inflammatory markers in serum were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), procalcitonin (PCT) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The target MAP, the days of use of vasopressors and the amount of fluid resuscitation were recorded.Results:A total of 208 hypertensive patients with septic shock were enrolled, including 109 in the LS group and 99 in the HS group. There were no significant differences in gender, age, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score between the two groups when diagnosed. After treatment, there was no significant difference in AGI classification between the LS group and HS group on the 1st day. On the 3rd and 7th day, there were statistical differences between the two groups (3rd day: proportion of Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ grades were 25.69%, 56.88%, 11.93%, 5.50% in LS group, 15.15%, 54.55%, 25.25%, 5.05% in HS group, respectively, χ 2 = 7.900, P = 0.048; 7rd day: proportion of Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ grades were 44.96%, 49.54%, 3.67%, 1.83% in LS group, 31.31%, 52.53%, 11.11%, 5.05% in HS group, respectively, χ 2 = 8.178, P = 0.042). The Vm of superior mesenteric artery was higher and the RI was lower in the LS group than those in the HS group on day 1, 3 and 7 [Vm (cm/s): 21.72±3.02 vs. 19.50±2.83, 20.42±2.62 vs. 17.02±1.99, 26.52±2.70 vs. 22.47±4.03; RI: 0.86±0.05 vs. 0.92±0.04, 0.87±0.05 vs. 0.95±0.05, 0.81±0.03 vs. 0.85±0.03, all P < 0.01]. The MI was higher and the GET was shorter in the LS group than those in the HS group on day 3 and day 7 [MI: 3.00±0.33 vs. 2.60±0.29, 4.50±0.51 vs. 3.90±0.33; GET (minutes): 86.01±19.78 vs. 100.99±25.01, 71.00±16.37 vs. 84.98±20.18, all P < 0.01]. In addition, the levels of serum TNF-α, IL-6, PCT, VEGF were lower in the LS group than those in the HS group after 3 days of treatment [TNF-α (ng/L): 147.05±28.32 vs. 256.99±27.04, IL-6 (ng/L): 762.99±57.83 vs. 1 112.30±118.32, PCT (μg/L): 37.00±5.58 vs. 56.00±12.36, VEGF (ng/L): 123.00±19.78 vs. 167.01±21.55, all P < 0.05]. The target MAP was maintained at (68.02±4.71) mmHg in LS group, and (79.04±3.04) mmHg in HS group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P < 0.01). Compared with the HS group, the days of using vasopressors was shorter in LS group (days: 3.50±1.27 vs. 4.55±1.47), and the amountof fluid was reduced significantly (mL: 1 602.29±275.49 vs. 2 000.30±272.59, both P < 0.01). Conclusion:Maintaining a low target mean arterial pressure (65-70 mmHg) in hypertensive patients with septic shock can improve blood supply of superior mesenteric artery, protect the gastrointestinal function, reduce the level of inflammatory factors, and diminish the duration of using vasopressors and the amount of fluid.
