To investigate the anti-atherosclerotic effects of dietary hesperidin and naringin on ather-osclerosis in rabbits.Twenty-four adult healthy male New Zealand Large White rabbits were ran-domly assigned to four groups based on one factor:control(Con),model(Mod),hesperidin(HP),and naringenin(NG),each containing six rabbits and housed in solitary cages.During the experi-mental period,the control group received normal feed;the model group was fed high-fat for 30 d to establish the atherosclerosis,(AS)model and continued to be fed high-fat feed;the hesperidin and naringenin groups were fed high-fat for 30 d and then underwent AS modeling,and at a later stage,150 mg of hesperidin(or naringenin)was added to the diets at a rate of 1.5 mg per kg of di-et,respectively,for 30 d.Relative body quality,blood lipids,oxidation,and inflammatory factor lev-els were all assessed.At the end of the test period,the test rabbits were sacrificed to obtain the common carotid artery for histopathological section HE staining,Oil red O staining,and Sirius red staining in order to observe vascular tissue structure,lipid and inflammatory cell infiltration,and e-lastic plate and elastic fiber damage.The results indicated that the relative body quality of the mod-el,HP and NG groups increased rapidly,and the difference with the control group within the same period was highly significant(P＜0.01);The HP and NG interventions significantly decreased to-tal cholesterol(TC)and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)levels(P＜0.01),while also leading to a significant increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)levels(P＜0.01);MDA levels exhibited a significant decrease(P＜0.01),while SOD levels showed a notable in-crease(P＜0.01)following the HP and NG interventions;After HP and NG interventions,TNF-α and IL-1 were regressed(P＜0.01)and IL-10 was significantly elevated(P＜0.01);Compared with the control group,the model group showed approximately 41.8 and 2.5 fold thickening of the maximal endo-medial membrane,respectively,and the HP and NG interventions showed approxi-mately 13 and 15 fold thickening of the maximal endo-medial membrane,and both of the maximal medial membranes thickened by approximately 1.4 fold;Staining of pathological sections showed that HP and NG intervened to significantly reduce inflammatory cell infiltration,deposition of lipid components,slight thickening of the endothelium,and intact fibroblastic components.The results showed that the addition of HP and NG to diets could regulate blood lipids and exert anti-inflam-matory and antioxidant effects by inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors and oxidizing factors,showing significant anti-AS effects,and the two effects were comparable.

Objective To predict the potential suitability distribution of Vitex negundo in China;To analyze the key environmental factors influencing its suitability distribution.Methods Based on the geographic distribution data of Vitex negundo from 196 sites across China and 55 environmental variables,the Maximum Entropy(MaxEnt)model and ArcGIS 10.2 were employed to predict the potential distribution of suitable habitats for Vitex negundo in China.Results The constructed MaxEnt prediction model demonstrated high reliability.The primary environmental factors influencing the suitable distribution of Vitex negundo included the average temperature from June to October,precipitation in April and November,the mean temperature of the warmest season,soil type,and vegetation type.The predicted suitable habitats for Vitex negundo would be widely distributed,primarily concentrated in Jiangxi,central and southern Anhui,northwestern Zhejiang,eastern and northeastern Hunan,as well as eastern and southeastern Hubei.Conclusion The predicted potential distribution of Vitex negundo in China can provide a valuable reference for the conservation and sustainable utilization of this medicinal resource.

Objective To analyze the efficacy and safety of different minimally invasive operations[endoscopic re-trogradebiliary drainage(ERBD)、endoscopic nasobiliary drainage(ENBD)、percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage(PTCD)] for choledocholithiasis complicated with acute cholangitis to provide reference for clinical treatment retrospectively. Methods A total of 151 patients with choledocholithiasis complicated with acute cholangitis at Department of Emergency Surgery in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were included and divided into four groups based on the four treatment strategies, including non-surgical treatment. Changes in leukocyte count, bilirubin levels, and liver function before and after treatment, as well as postoperative recovery, complication rates, length of hospital stay, and prognosis were compared among patients who underwent different surgical treatments. Results There were significant improvements in leukocyte count, percentage of neutrophils, and liver function of the patients underwent ENBD or ERBD operation (P<0.05). The total bilirubin and direct bilirubin were significantly reduced after ERBD, ENBD, and PTCD operations (P<0.05). Patients undergoing ERBD, ENBD, or PTCD demonstrated faster recovery times, fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and lower mortality rates compared to those managed conservatively. Conclusions ERBD and ENBD as minimally invasive therapeutic modalities for the management of choledocholithiasis complicated with acute cholangitis, exhibit remarkable clinical efficacy, coupled with a high degree of safety and reliability. These techniques significantly enhance the long-term minimally invasive cure rate, thereby establishing them as the preferred treatment strategies. Tailored to the patient's specific clinical conditions, such as the severity of infection, stone dimensions, and the use of oral anticoagulant therapy, clinicians can formulate individualized minimally invasive treatment strategies, facilitating the optimal attainment of therapeutic objectives.

Cognitive dysfunction refers to dysfunction of individual perception,memory,understanding,learning,creation and other dysfunctions caused by abnormal brain function and structure.Based on the fact that the spleen can't regulate transportation and transformation,govern blood and send up essential substance,combined with the microbiota-gut-brain axis,this article discussed the etiology and pathogenesis of intestinal flora imbalance affecting cognitive dysfunction in TCM.It was proposed that the spleen in TCM and intestinal flora are connected in physiology and pathology:the spleen regulates spirit and governs cognition,when the spleen fails to function normally that it can't dominate transportation and transformation,govern blood and send up essential substance will cause that the brain spirit can not be nourished;intestinal flora is closely related to the spleen in TCM,and affects brain function through the nervous system,endocrine,immune and metabolic mechanisms.This article can provide explore new ideas for the clinical research and treatment of cognitive dysfunction of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

Objective:To carry out an overview of systematic reviews on interventions to prevent the recurrence of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) patients.Methods:Systematic reviews or Meta-analysis on interventions to prevent DFU recurrence were electronically retrieved from databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence-Based Healthcare Center Database, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science. The search period was from database establishment to April 20, 2023. Two researchers independently searched and screened literature, and extracted data, and used AMSTAR 2 software and the quality evaluation criteria for systematic review of JBI Evidence-Based Healthcare Center to evaluate the methodological quality of the included literature. GRADE evaluation system was used for quality assessment of outcome indicators (DFU recurrence rate, effectiveness of measures to prevent DFU recurrence) .Results:A total of 24 systematic reviews were included. Studies showed that monitoring and intervention of foot skin temperature, therapeutic shoes or insoles, comprehensive intervention measures, and specific surgical methods could reduce the recurrence rate of DFU, while foot self-care, foot exercise, health education, and psychological intervention had no statistical effect on preventing DFU recurrence. The methodological quality of systematic reviews was generally low. The reports of four articles were relatively complete, 18 articles had certain defects, and two articles had serious defects. The evaluation of evidence quality showed that there were three pieces of moderate-quality evidence, seven pieces of low-quality evidence, and 30 pieces of extremely low-quality evidence.Conclusions:Existing evidence suggests that foot skin temperature monitoring and intervention, therapeutic shoes or insoles, comprehensive intervention measures, and specific surgical methods (such as Achilles tendon lengthening, metatarsophalangeal joint replacement, metatarsal head resection and so on) have a positive impact on preventing DFU recurrence. Rigorous and high standard research is still needed to verify the controversial issues, so as to provide reliable evidence for future clinical practice and studies.

China’s chronic disease management suffers from problems such as unclear institutional function， insufficient information technology application， and weak regulation support. On the basis of current chronic disease management condition in China， this paper proposes to apply the concept of “people-centered” integrated health management to community chronic disease management and discusses the content and procedure of establishing an integrated community-based chronic disease management model driven by massive databases. The model innovatively combines technology integration， data integration and service integration， and can accurately and efficiently realize the "people-centered" full-course health management of various chronic diseases. Shanghai has provided integrated community-based chronic disease management service for 1.98 million citizens through applying this model. The model warrants further effectiveness and economic evaluation. This study provides precious experience for the development of chronic disease prevention and treatment in China.

Objective:To discussed the clinical efficacy of addition and subtraction therapy of Shenling Baizhu San to antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) with spleen-stomach deficiency and cold syndrome, and to investigate its effects on immune function and intestinal flora. Method:One hundred and fifteen patients were randomly divided into control group (57 cases) and observation group (58 cases) by random number table. Patients in control group got Shuangqi Ganjun Sanlian Huojun San, 2 bags/time, 2 times/days. Mengtuoshi San, 1 bag/time, 3 times/days, and they also got measures to prevent disturbance of water, electrolyte, acid-base balance and nutritional support. Based on the treatment in control group, patients in observation group also got addition and subtraction therapy of Shenling Baizhu San, 1 dose/day. The course of treatment was 7 days in both groups. Before and after treatment, scores of symptoms, intestinal secretory immunoglobulin (SIgA) levels, peripheral blood immunoglobulin A (IgA), G (IgG), M (IgM) and T lymphocyte subsets (CD3⁺, CD4⁺, CD8⁺and CD4⁺/CD8⁺). Detection of bacillus faccalis in feces before and after treatment and the bacteria were cultured to identify and count bifidobacterium, lactobacillus and enterococcus. In addition, diamine oxidase (DAO) and D-lactic acid levels were detected before and after treatment. Result:In rank sum test, clinical efficacy in observation group was better than that in control group (Z=2.268, P<0.01). Scores of main symptoms, secondary symptoms, spleen-stomach deficiency and cold syndrome were lower than those in control group(P<0.01). Levels of SIgA, IgA and IgG were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.01). Levels of CD3⁺, CD4⁺and CD4⁺/CD8⁺were higher than those in control group (P<0.05), while level of CD8⁺was lower than that in control group (P<0.05). Bacillus in faeces was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.01). Count of enterococcus was lower than that in control group (P<0.05), while counts of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus were higher than those in control group (P<0.05). In addition, levels of DAO and D-lactic acid were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.01). Conclusion:Based on conventional treatment, addition and subtraction therapy of Shenling Baizhu San can alleviate symptoms, improve clinical efficacy, improve immune function, regulate intestinal flora and promote the repair of intestinal mucosal barrier in the treatment of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) with spleen-stomach deficiency and cold syndrome.

Objectives:To describe the early and long-term survival of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting(OPCAB)and to analyze the impact and risk factors of peri-operative events on mortality and long-term survival in OPCAB patients aged over 75 years old. Methods:From January 2001 to December 2012,233 patients aged over 75 underwent OPCAB in our hospital, 173 cases (74.25%) were male,the average age was (77.1±2.3) years.The perioperative data was retrospectively collected.Binary Logistic regression was used to define the risk factors related to the perioperative events and mortality.Follow-up was performed regularly post-surgery. Univariate analysis and Cox regression model were used to find out factors affecting the long-term outcomes. Results:Fifteen out of 233 patients died during the perioperative period. Binary Logistic regression showed that preoperative arrhythmia (OR=6.767, P=0.002),IABP ( intraoperative, post-operative) (OR=4.292, P=0.040;OR=19.455, P＜0.001), ICU stay time (OR=1.500, P=0.001), mechanical ventilation time (OR=1.004, P=0.002), reintubation or tracheotomy (OR=30.000, P＜0.001), re-thoracotomy (OR=26.750, P＜0.001), postoperative cerebral infarction (OR=5.889, P=0.041) were risk factors of perioperative mortality. The remaining 218 patients were followed up for a mean of (92.84±45.52) months, 121 patients died during follow-up. The survival rate at l, 3, 5, 8 and 10 years was 90.99%, 87.55%, 85.31%, 68.93% and 56.70%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that sex(male), hypertension, preoperative arrhythmia, reintubation or tracheotomy were risk factors of the long-term mortality (P＜0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that reintubation or tracheotomy (HR 4.387, 95%CI=1.876-10.259,P＜0.010) was the independent risk factor affecting the long-term survival. Conclusions:Preoperative arrhythmia, IABP (intraoperative, postoperative), ICU stay time, mechanical ventilation time, reintubation and tracheotomy, re-thoracotomy, postoperative cerebral infarction are risk factors of perioperative mortality. Reintubation or tracheotomy is the independent risk factor affecting the long-term survival.Taken together, OPCAB in patients aged over 75 is associated with favorable perioperative and long-term outcome,and it serves a safe and effective operative strategy for coronary artery revascularization in patients aged over 75.
