Shengma Gegentang is one of the classic formulas in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Prescriptions (Second Batch). This study reviewed ancient and modern literature and used literature tracing and bibliometric methods to analyze the historical evolution, efficacy, indications, dosage decoctions, and modern clinical disease spectrum of Shengma Gegentang. The results indicated that the earliest record of Shengma Gegentang can be found in the Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang of the Song dynasty, but its origin can be traced back to the Shaoyao Siwu Jiejitang in the Beiji Qianjin Yaofang of the Tang dynasty. The composition dosage of Shengma Gegentang is 413 g of Cimicifugae Rhizoma, 619.5 g of Puerariae Lobatae Radix, 413 g of Paeoniae Radix Alba, and 413 g of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, which are ground into coarse powder. Each dose is 12.39 g, and the amount of water added is 300 mL. 100 mL of solution is decocted and taken at the right time. The four drugs in the formula play the role of relieving exterior syndrome, penetrating pathogenic factors, and detoxicating together. Its indications are widely involved in internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery, ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology, obstetrics and gynecology, sexually transmitted diseases, and other diseases, such as measles, sores, acne, spots, surgical gangrene, red eyes, toothache, chancre, and fetal poison. The epidemic diseases treated by Shengma Gegentang are complicated, including rash, pox, macula, numbness, summer diarrhea, dysentery, sha disease, febrile symptoms, spring warmth, winter warmth, and cold pestilence. At the same time, it is a plague prevention formula. Although Shengma Gegentang has a wide range of indications, it cannot be separated from the pathogenic mechanism of evil Qi blocking the muscle surface and heat in the lungs and stomach. The modern clinical disease spectrum of Shengma Gegentang involves the ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology system, nervous system, pediatric-related diseases and syndromes, skin system, hepatobiliary system, and digestive system. It plays a key role in the treatment of epidemic diseases such as measles, chronic hepatitis B, dysentery, and tetanus.

Objective To explore the value of high-frequency ultrasound in the detection of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma and displaying lesion characteristics. Methods A total of 38 paitients with hepatocellular carcinoma satellite lesions within 40 mm of subcutaneous tissue were underwent low-frequency (1-5 MHz) and high-frequency (6-9 MHz) ultrasound. Detection rates and ultrasonic features were compared. Results High-frequency grayscale ultrasound had a higher detection rate (71.1% vs. 36.8%, P<0.001). Subgroup analysis showed higher detection rates with chemotherapy history (88.9% vs. 33.3%, P=0.002), fatty liver (71.9% vs 31.3%, P<0.001) or superficial lesion (within 20 mm, 76.5% vs 41.2%, P=0.031). High-frequency ultrasound also showed clearer margins (P=0.004) and more arterial-phase rim enhancement (P=0.007). Conclusions 6-9 MHz ultrasound detects metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, especially superficial lesions, more effectively than 1-5 MHz ultrasound and better visualizes characteristics.

Objective:To gain an in-depth understanding of the barriers to active management in elderly patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and to provide evidence for targeted interventions.Methods:A descriptive qualitative research method was adopted. Using purposive sampling, a total of 14 elderly CHF patients admitted to the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College, from January to February 2025 were selected as study participants. Based on the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF), a semi-structured in-depth interview guide was developed. NVivo 12.0 software was used to organize and code the data, and directed content analysis was applied.Results:Eight TDF-related domains of barriers were identified and summarized into four themes: misconceptions of disease and information processing barriers (knowledge; memory, attention, and decision processes) ; dependence on family members and limited accessibility of medical resources (social influence; environmental context and resources) ; negative goal motivation and low management confidence (goals; beliefs about consequences and capabilities) ; and emotional management obstacles and fatigue from self-regulation (emotion) .Conclusions:On the basis of meeting elderly CHF patients' knowledge needs, healthcare professionals should expand their access to information, improve social support systems, stimulate intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy, and alleviate negative emotions and fatigue related to self-regulation, thereby enhancing the positivity of self-health management and achieving sustainability in health management.

Objective:To explore the longitudinal trajectory of sleep disorders and their influencing factors in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients, and provide theoretical basis for formulating intervention measures to improve sleep quality of breast cancer patients.Methods:A longitudinal study was conducted using convenience sampling to select newly diagnosed breast cancer patients from Shandong Provincial Third Hospital and Shandong First Medical University Affiliated Provincial Hospital from April 2023 to June 2024. General information questionnaires, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Concerns About Recurrence Scale (CARS), and the Distress Disclosure Index (DDI) were used for the survey. The Kruskal-Wallis H test and generalized estimating equation models were used to examine sleep disorders and their influencing factors. Results:A total of 473 valid questionnaires were collected. Among the 473 newly diagnosed breast cancer patients, 435 were female and 38 were male, aged (49.5 ± 11.0) years old. The CARS score at admission was (3.00 ± 1.12) points, with concerns about death (0.71 ± 0.67) points and concerns about female characteristics (0.81 ± 0.72) points. The DDI score at admission was (27.00 ± 10.03) points. The PSQI scores at admission, discharge, and one month after discharge were (15.34 ± 3.05), (12.12 ± 3.01), and (10.13 ± 1.78) points, respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( H =33.19, P<0.05). The PSQI scores at these three time points were positively correlated with the CARS score and concerns about death and female characteristics ( r values were 0.42-0.79, all P<0.05), and negatively correlated with the DDI score ( r =-0.41, -0.37, -0.31, all P<0.05). The generalized estimating equation model showed that female gender ( β=1.35, 95% CI 0.27-2.30), education level of junior high school or below ( β=1.89, 95% CI 0.24-3.19), severe pain ( β=1.72, 95% CI 0.32-3.12), moderate pain ( β=2.51, 95% CI 0.37-4.66), invasive special cancer ( β=2.57, 95% CI 1.67-4.07), invasive non-special cancer ( β=2.11, 95% CI 1.98-3.12), partial understanding of the condition ( β=1.91, 95% CI 1.23-3.01), concerns about death ( β=1.61, 95% CI 0.17-2.78), and concerns about femininity ( β=1.34, 95% CI 0.37-2.15) positively predicted the sleep quality index in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients (all P<0.05). Non-invasive cancer ( β=-3.82, 95% CI -6.79--3.36), lack of understanding of the condition ( β=-3.96, 95% CI -7.09--4.62), and DDI score ( β=-1.45, 95% CI -2.14--0.15) negatively predicted the sleep quality index (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall sleep quality of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients is low, with the lowest at admission and gradual improvement at discharge and one month after discharge. Medical staff should pay attention to high-risk patients who are female, have lower education levels, higher pain scores, poorer pathological types, and partial understanding of their condition.
