ObjectiveThis paper aims to analyze the variety characteristics and prescription patterns of marketed traditional Chinese patent medicines for treating abortion and provide references for new medicine development and clinical application. MethodsRelevant information of traditional Chinese patent medicines for treating abortion was systematically retrieved and collected. Microsoft Excel 2021 software was used to sort and statistically analyze the medicine syndrome types, quantity, market situation, and status of package inserts. Based on the Ancient and Modern Medical Case Cloud Platform (V2.3.9), the medicine properties, flavors, meridian tropism, and medication characteristics of standardized prescriptions were analyzed. ResultsA total of 39 marketed traditional Chinese patent medicines for treating abortion in China were included. According to disease type, these medicines were categorized as therapeutic medicines for threatened abortion and recurrent spontaneous abortion. According to clinical function, they were categorized into three groups: fetus stabilization, blood nourishment, and adjunctive conditioning. They were also categorized into pre-pregnancy conditioning and post-pregnancy fetal maintenance by clinical intervention stage. Post-marketing research showed that only three products had undergone safety evaluations and one involved pharmacoeconomic research, indicating a general lack of standardized evidence-based data. Dosage forms were mainly pills and granules. Package insert analysis revealed that 15 products listed "contraindications", while 28 included "precautions". Based on prescription inclusion and exclusion criteria, 25 products were selected for further analysis. Their therapeutic effects were mainly concentrated on "tonifying the kidney and spleen, replenishing Qi, and nourishing blood", with core medicines including Paeoniae Radix Alba, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, and Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma. Most medicines were warm or neutral in nature, predominantly sweet and pungent in flavor, and mainly entered the spleen, liver, and kidney meridians. ConclusionTraditional Chinese patent medicines for treating abortion demonstrate clear clinical value. However, shortcomings remain, including insufficient post-marketing research, prescription homogeneity, and incomplete package inserts. Future efforts should establish a clinically value-oriented modern development pathway, strengthen safety surveillance and evidence evaluation, improve package inserts, and promote precision use to further enhance clinical value.

ObjectiveThis study aims to systematically review the marketed traditional Chinese patent medicines for treating chronic gastritis (CG) in China. By analyzing their variety characteristics and prescription patterns, it seeks to provide references for clinical syndrome differentiation-based drug selection, treatment method optimization, and the design of high-quality clinical research. MethodsInformation on marketed traditional Chinese patent medicines for treating CG was collected. Microsoft Excel software was used to collate and statistically analyze representative drugs for each pathological stage, market status, syndrome types, and other contents. The Ancient and Modern Medical Case Cloud Platform (V2.3.9) was employed to analyze the formula composition patterns of standardized prescriptions. ResultsA total of 141 marketed traditional Chinese patent medicines for treating CG in China were included. Based on the disease's pathological progression, they can be classified into drugs for non-atrophic gastritis, atrophic gastritis, and precancerous lesions. Post-marketing research reveals that relevant evaluation is only conducted on 17 drugs, of which 2 involve pharmacoeconomic studies and 14 possess standardized evidence-based evidence. The primary dosage forms were capsules, granules, and tablets. From the 100 prescriptions screened according to inclusion/exclusion criteria, the varieties indicated for the stomach collateral stasis syndrome in atrophic gastritis accounted for the highest proportion. The main efficacy distributions were clearing heat, detoxifying, and relieving pain by promoting Qi circulation. Core drugs included Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizome, Paeoniae Radix Alba, and Aucklandiae Radix. Medicinal properties were predominantly warm and neutral. Flavors were mainly bitter, pungent, and sweet. The drugs primarily entered the spleen and stomach meridians. Analysis of the package inserts reveals that 67 products list "contraindications", 110 include "precautions", and 23 explicitly state "adverse reactions". ConclusionTraditional Chinese patent medicines for treating CG hold unique value in clinical practice. However, currently there are challenges such as insufficient clarity in syndrome type descriptions within package inserts and a relative lack of high-level evidence-based medical evidence, as well as pharmacoeconomic evaluations. Future efforts should focus on addressing these shortcomings by advancing research on syndrome characteristics and medication patterns based on syndrome differentiation, systematically conducting pharmacoeconomic evaluations, strengthening the accumulation of high-level evidence-based evidence, and, on this basis, improving patient medication adherence. This will comprehensively enhance the clinical application value and scientific connotation of this category of drugs.

Medical parasitology, as a course bridging basic medical sciences and clinical medicine, has an important disciplinary value in the medical education system. This study investigated the composition of parasitology teachers from multiple medical colleges and universities across China. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the proportion of teachers with clinical medicine background knowledge, and there was common dilemma that there were insufficient clinical medicine knowledge reserves among teachers in some medical colleges and universities, who encountered severe teaching challenges. Based on this issue, this study constructed a basic-clinical medicine collaborative problem-based learning (PBL) teaching model. This model integrated theoretical teaching, case analyses, and experimental operations, and combined transdisciplinary team building and multidimensional teacher training, which significantly improved the clinical teaching capability among parasitology teachers, and effectively compensated the impact of insufficient clinical medicine knowledge reserves on teaching. Following teaching reform, students' scores significantly improved, and their case analysis capability enhanced. This study provides a practical path to address the shortage of clinical medicine background knowledge among parasitology teachers, which facilitates the progress of educational reform of medical parasitology and improvement of teaching quality.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) is involved in most glucose reabsorption in the kidney. Inhibition of SGLT2 leads to the excretion of glucose through urine and represents an important concept in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. With the development of pharmacogenomics, it was found that SGLT2 gene polymorphism had certain effects on fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin and insulin levels, and may affect the risk of type 2 diabetes and response to treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors, which is of great significance in the treatment of T2DM. Domestic and international studies on SGLT2 gene polymorphism were reviewed and effects of SGLT2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) in the treatment of T2DM were discussed in this paper.
