Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability among adults in China， and its common complications include digestive system abnormalities， cognitive impairment， depression， stroke-associated pneumonia， and hemiplegia. The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has great potential in treating post-stroke complications. Xinglou Chengqitang （XLCQT） is a representative prescription of alleviating the disease in the upper part by treating the lower part. It has definite therapeutic effect and high safety. Clinically， XLCQT is often used to treat stroke and its complications. However， the quantity and quality of clinical trials of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications need to be improved. Additionally， since the basic research is weak， the material basis and multi-target mechanism for the efficacy of this prescription are unknown. This article reviews XLCQT in terms of the pharmacodynamic basis， medicinal properties， safety evaluation， and progress in clinical research and mechanisms in treating post-stroke complications. This article summarizes 22 key active ingredients of XLCQT in treating acute stroke complicated with syndrome of phlegm heat and fu-organ excess. Among these key active ingredients， resveratrol， kaempferol， luteolin， chrysoeriol， apigenin， （+）-catechin， and adenosine have good pharmacokinetic properties and high bioavailability. The mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications are complex， including inflammatory response， brain-gut axis， hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal （HPA） axis， intestinal flora， neurotrophic factors， autophagy， oxidative stress， and free radical damage. This review helps to deeply understand the pharmacodynamic basis and mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications and provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of XLCQT against post-stroke complications and the development of drugs.

Objective: To report the antibody identification, blood management during pregnancy and the monitoring process of fetal hemolytic disease of fetus and newborn (HDFN) in a pregnant woman with a history of blood transfusion and pregnancy who developed anti-Jr . Methods: Saline tube technique and anti-human globulin technique were used for maternal blood typing, unexpected antibody screening and identification, as well as for determining antibody titer and IgG subclasses. PCR-SSP was employed for genotyping of 18 blood group systems. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was utilized for gene sequencing of 38 blood group systems. Sanger sequencing was applied to verify rare blood group mutations detected by NGS and to investigate the corresponding rare blood group genes in family members. Blood preparation was achieved through anemia management in prenatal clinics and autologous blood collection during pregnancy. The newborn underwent the three primary tests for HDFN and plasma IgG subclass testing. Results: The pregnant woman's blood type was B, RhD positive, with a positive unexpected antibody screen, and the antibody identification pattern was consistent with a high-frequency antigen antibody. Gene sequencing revealed a homozygous ABCG2 c.376C>T mutation in the woman, resulting in the Jr(a-) phenotype, and anti-Jr antibody was present in her plasma. No compatible Jr(a-) blood was found among family members. The maternal anti-Jr IgG titer remained stable at 256 during pregnancy, with no detectable IgG1 or IgG3 subclasses against the Jr antigen. A total of 800 mL of autologous blood was collected in two stages during pregnancy. The newborn was B, RhD positive, Jr(a+), with a positive unexpected antibody screen (anti-Jr ). IgG subclass typing detected no IgG1 or IgG3. The direct antiglobulin test was positive, while the acid elution test was negative. Conclusion: The combination of serology and blood group genetic analysis provides a diagnostic basis for identifying antibodies to high-frequency antigens. Managing perinatal anemia and implementing staged autologous blood storage can secure blood supply for the perioperative period. IgG antibody subclass typing offers a reference for clinical assessment and prevention of HDFN.

BackgroundPatients with chronic schizophrenia often suffer from cognitive impairment. Traditional cognitive rehabilitation training has problems such as a single form and poor compliance， making it urgent to develop new cognitive intervention methods. ObjectiveTo explore the intervention effect of smartphone games on the cognitive function of patients with chronic schizophrenia， and to analyze the differences in cognitive function improvement between patients of different genders， in order to provide references for the cognitive function intervention of these patients. MethodsThis study was a prospective cohort study. A total of 30 patients who were hospitalized in the Psychiatry Department of Chaohu Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from March to October 2021， met the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia as defined in the International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10）， and had a disease duration of above 5 years， were selected as the research subjects. All patients received smartphone game intervention for 12 weeks， 5 times a week， each session lasting 1 hour， in addition to conventional antipsychotic drug treatment. At the baseline and at 3， 6， 9， and 12 weeks of the intervention， the cognitive function was evaluated using the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status （RBANS）， the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale （PANSS） was used to assess mental symptoms， and the Problematic Mobile Gaming Questionnaire （PMGQ） was used to assess addiction symptoms. ResultsA total of 26 patients （86.67%） completed the study， including 13 females and 13 males. The time effects， group effects， and interaction effect between time and group for the immediate memory factor score of RBANS in the female group and the male group were all statistically significant （F=36.682， 5.712， 3.090， P<0.05 or 0.01）， and the time effects and group effects for the verbal and delayed memory factors as well as the total score in both groups were also statistically significant （F=3.841， 6.149， 15.372， P<0.05 or 0.01）. The time effects and group effects of the total score of PANSS in both groups had no statistical significance （F=2.041， 0.623， P>0.05 for both）， and the interaction effect between time and group was statistically significant （F=5.728， P<0.01）. The time effects， group effects， and interaction effect of the total score of PMGQ in both groups were all without statistical significance （F=2.672， 0.166， 0.642， P>0.05 for both）. ConclusionSmartphone game intervention may help improve the cognitive function of patients with chronic schizophrenia （especially immediate memory， verbal function， and delayed memory）， and the benefits are greater for female patients. The smartphone game intervention did not induce game addiction， but no significant improvement in psychotic symptoms was observed. ［Funded by Excellent Young Talents Support Program of Anhui Provincial Department of Education （number， gxyqZD2022022）； www.chictr.org.cn number， ChiCTR2100044113］

Objective To investigate the impact of intraoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion volume on the postoperative oxygenation index in lung transplant recipients. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the clinical data of patients who underwent lung transplantation at Wuxi People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from 2021 to 2023. Patients were divided into a non-severe primary graft dysfunction (PGD) group and a severe PGD group based on whether their postoperative oxygenation index was>200 mm Hg at 0, 24, and 48 h. General patient data and intraoperative RBC transfusion volumes were compared between the two groups. A binary logistic regression model was constructed to explore the effect size (OR and its 95%CI) of RBC transfusion volume on postoperative oxygenation status at different time points (0, 24, and 48 h). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was calculated to evaluate the model's diagnostic performance. Results A total of 351 patients were included (260 males, 91 females), with ages ranging from 20 to 77 years. The OR for the effect of intraoperative RBC transfusion on poor oxygenation was 1.486 (95%CI 0.982 to 2.248, P=0.061) at 0 h postoperatively, 3.111 (95%CI 1.793 to 5.399, P<0.001) at 24 h, and 1.583 (95%CI 1.026 to 2.442, P=0.038) at 48 h. This indicated that as time progressed, the postoperative oxygenation status of lung transplant recipients was affected by the intraoperative transfusion volume. Furthermore, an RBC transfusion volume>975 mLhad a significant impact on patient oxygenation at 24 and 48 h postoperatively. Conclusion The volume of intraoperative RBC transfusion has a significant impact on the oxygenation status at 24 and 48 h postoperatively. Intraoperative RBC transfusion volume is associated with the occurrence of severe PGD after lung transplantation. Controlling the volume of RBC transfusion during lung transplantation may help reduce the incidence of severe PGD.

Objective To systematically evaluate the therapeutic effects of different surgical procedures for ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR). Methods Computer searches were conducted in CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science, with the search time limit from the inception of the databases to February 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, used the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool to evaluate the quality of the included studies, and used Stata 17.0 software to analyze the data. Results A total of 19 randomized controlled trials involving 6139 patients were finally included, involving six surgical procedures, and the overall quality of the included studies was relatively high. The results of the network meta-analysis showed that the 30-day all-cause mortality rate of mitral valve repair (MVr) was significantly lower than that of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) [OR=0.24, 95%CI (0.07, 0.87), P<0.01], mitral valve replacement (MVR) [OR=0.43, 95%CI (0.23, 0.79), P=0.02], CABG+MVR [OR=0.21, 95%CI (0.04, 0.95), P=0.03] and transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair (TEER) using MitraClip [OR=0.13, 95%CI (0.02, 0.87), P<0.01]. The 30-day all-cause mortality rate of CABG+MVr was significantly lower than that of CABG [OR=0.56, 95%CI (0.33, 0.93), P=0.02] and CABG+MVR [OR=0.48, 95%CI (0.24, 0.94), P=0.04], and the best probability ranking results showed that MVR might be the most effective in reducing the 30-day all-cause mortality rate. The incidence of renal complications in CABG+MVr was significantly lower than that in CABG+MVR [OR=0.42, 95%CI (0.21, 0.83), P=0.01]; the best probability ranking results showed that CABG+MVr might be the most effective in reducing renal complications. Conclusion The current limited evidence suggests that CABG+MVr and MVr may be the best surgical intervention methods for IMR patients at present. Due to the limitations of the number and quality of included studies, the above conclusions still need to be verified by more high-quality studies.

Objective: To investigate the causal relationship between neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) using Mendelian randomization (MR) methods, and to explore the clinical significance of NETs in the occurrence and development of HNSCC. Methods: Data related to NET biomarker myeloperoxidase-DNA complex (MPO-DNA) complex and HNSCC were obtained from the pooled statistical data of the Genome-Wide Association Study database (GWAS). This study was reviewed and approved by the Medical Ethics Committee, and informed consent was obtained from patients. Patients with HNSCC admitted to Department of Oral Maxillofacial, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were included as the research group, and volunteers matched for age and gender were randomly selected from the Clinical Examination Center as the control group. The levels of MPO-DNA and citrullinated histone H3 (CitH3), two markers of NETs, as well as the levels of soluble adhesion factor CD44 variant 6 (CD44v6) and leukocyte differentiation antigen CD109, markers of lymph node metastasis, were measured in all subjects. Blood coagulation indicators, including plasma prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), D-dimer (DD), and fibrinogen levels (FIB), were recorded to analyze the relationship and potential mechanisms between NETs and HNSCC. Results: MR results indicated a possible causal relationship between NETs and HNSCC. The inverse variance weighted P values for the four datasets were P1 = 0.037, P2 = 0.017, P3 = 0.004, and P4 = 0.023. Ultimately, 52 patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and 20 healthy individuals were included. Compared with the control group, the expression levels of NETs markers MPO-DNA, CitH3, lymph node metastasis markers CD44v6 and CD109, and coagulation indicators FIB and DD were significantly elevated in the group with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.001). In correlation studies between NETs markers and lymph node metastasis markers, as well as coagulation indicators, the Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.686, 0.531, 0.7, and 0.5 for MPO-DNA and DD, FIB, CD44v6, and CD109, respectively, and the Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.456, 0.503, 0.525, and 0.603 for CitH3 and DD, FIB, CD44v6, and CD109, respectively (P<0.05). In terms of diagnostic efficacy, the area under the curve (AUC) for MPO-DNA, CitH3, and MPO-DNA + CitH3 in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma was 0.863, 0.892, and 0.905, respectively, with an increasing AUC of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) in the order mentioned. Levels of MPO-DNA and CitH3 in patients with early-stage head and neck squamous cell carcinoma were (132.4 ± 16.4) ng/mL and (21.3 ± 2.9) ng/mL, respectively, which were lower than those in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, who had MPO-DNA and CitH3 levels of (199.3 ± 33.1) ng/mL and (26.6 ± 3.7) ng/mL, respectively. The serum concentrations of FIB, DD, CD44v6, and CD109 in patients with high MPO-DNA expression were significantly higher than those in patients with low MPO-DNA expression (all P<0.05). The serum concentrations of FIB, CD44v6, and CD109 in patients with high CitH3 expression were significantly higher than those in patients with low CitH3 expression (all P<0.05). Conclusion The study indicates a potential causal relationship between NETs and HNSCC. NETs-related markers may serve as potential biomarkers for HNSCC, as they correlate with the hypercoagulable state of the cancer. NETs-related markers have potential diagnostic utility for HNSCC and are associated with tumor progression.

SkinPro Ointment is an emulsion-based preparation derived from a traditional Tibetan medical empirical formula and developed using modern pharmaceutical technology. It is an exclusive patented product of Tibet Hairong Tangguo Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and has been listed as a National Protected Traditional Chinese Medicine Variety， the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China， and classified as a Category B product in the National Basic Medical Insurance Catalog. The ointment possesses the functions of clearing heat and drying dampness， activating blood circulation and dispelling wind， relieving itching and reducing inflammation. Clinically， it is used for skin pruritus caused by dampness-heat accumulation or blood-heat with wind-dryness， as well as pruritic skin diseases such as neurodermatitis， eczema， tinea pedis， and psoriasis. To clarify the standards for its clinical application and promote rational drug use， a consensus working group comprising 34 national experts in dermatology， evidence-based medicine， and pharmacy was established. Through expert interviews， the nominal group technique， and questionnaire surveys， 15 clinical issues were identified. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment， Development and Evaluation （GRADE） evidence grading system was employed to assess the quality of evidence， leading to the formulation of the Expert Consensus on the Clinical Application of SkinPro Ointment. This consensus specifies that the intended users are physicians and pharmacists in medical institutions at all levels. It standardizes the clinical application of the ointment， including syndrome characteristics， dosage and course of treatment， combination therapy， precautions， and contraindications. Recommendations and consensus suggestions were formed addressing the 15 clinical issues， covering the following key areas： ①Indications and TCM syndromes： In TCM， the ointment mainly treats conditions such as "damp sores" （Shichuang）， "white scaling" （Baibi）， "collar sores" （Shelingchuang）， and "damp foot Qi" （Jiaoshiqi）， corresponding to eczema， psoriasis， neurodermatitis， and tinea pedis in Western medicine. The relevant TCM syndromes are identified as dampness-heat accumulation or blood-heat with wind-dryness. ②Usage and dosage： For external use， apply to the affected area 3 times daily. The dosage should follow the fingertip unit （FTU） principle. A treatment course of 1-2 weeks is recommended for mild to moderate cases； for serious cases， the course should be followed as prescribed by a physician. ③Combined therapy： The ointment can be used as monotherapy for mild cases. For moderate to severe cases， combination therapy is recommended， with reference to relevant clinical guidelines. ④Safety： Common adverse reactions include skin rashes， pruritus， and erythema. The ointment is contraindicated in patients with broken skin or obvious exudation at the affected area， as well as in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its components. Contact with sensitive areas such as the eyes and oral mucosa should be avoided. Modern research shows that the ointment also has potential efficacy in other dermatological conditions， such as adult atopic dermatitis， tinea cruris， exfoliative keratolysis， acne vulgaris， and Malassezia folliculitis. This consensus provides a scientific basis for promoting the rational clinical use of SkinPro Ointment， improving its therapeutic efficacy， and reducing medication risks. Future updates will be dynamically revised according to emerging clinical issues and new evidence.
