ObjectiveTo explore the potential categories and characteristics of the public hospice care demand in Hainan Province， and analyze different potential types of influencing factors， so as to provide reference for relevant departments to improve the public awareness and demand of hospice care. MethodsUsing convenience sampling method， select 6484 cities of the public as the survey object， using the general data questionnaire， the hospice care demand questionnaire of the potential profile analysis， and analyze the influencing factors of the public hospice care demand category. ResultsThe characteristics of the hospice care demand in Hainan Province were divided into three potential categories： low demand group （14.19%）， medium demand group （49.99%） and high demand group （35.82%）. Multivariate analysis showed that gender， age， education level， cultural belief， and life-death education experience were the main influencing factors of public hospice care demand （p<0.05）. Males， those aged 41-60 years， and those with high school education or below had relatively lower hospice care demand， while those with life-death education experience had relatively higher demand. ConclusionRelevant departments should focus on hospice care knowledge popularization and demand enhancement for males， middle-aged groups， and people with low education levels， while strengthening universal life-death education through stratified and classified publicity strategies and educational interventions to improve different populations’ awareness and acceptance of hospice care.

Objective:To understand the burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its risk factors in Fujian Province during 1990-2019.Methods:Based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, the incidence rate, mortality rate and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of CKD in Fujian from 1990 to 2019 were calculated. An age-period-cohort model was used to estimate the effects of age, period, and cohort on age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), and age-standardized DALY rate (ASDR) of CKD. Comparative risk assessment theory was used to calculate the potential attributable DALYs due to risk factors.Results:In 2019, the ASIR of CKD in Fujian exceeded the national average. The ASIR of CKD showed an increasing trend from 1990 to 2019, but the ASMR and ASDR of CKD exhibited decreasing trends during the same period. In 2019, the ASIR of CKD was higher in women than in men, while the ASMR and ASDR were higher in men than in women. Age-period-cohort analysis indicated that ASIR, ASMR, and ASDR of CKD increased with age. The period effect for ASIR decreased first before increase, while the period effect for ASMR and ASDR displayed fluctuating trends. The cohort effect showed an upward trajectory for ASIR, but a stable status before downward trajectories for ASMR and ASDR. Compared with 1990, except the increase in the ASDR of CKD attributed to high BMI and high temperatures, the ASDR of CKD attributed to other risk factors all showed decreases in 2019. However, the ASDR attributed to high sodium intake remained higher compared with the global average.Conclusion:The burden of CKD remains heavy in Fujian, and it is necessary to reduce the attributable risk factors, such as high sodium intake and high BMI, to address this problem.

Objective To explore the clinical effect and mechanism of Shenqi Shiyiwei granules(SQSYW)on improving colorectal cancer anemia.Methods Through database and network pharmacology analysis,the potential targets and core genes of SQSYW in the treatment of colorectal cancer anemia were obtained.The potential gene targets were analyzed by Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes.A total of 80 patients with colorectal cancer anemia admitted in Sichuan Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine were selected as subjects,according to the treatment plan,they were divided into experimental group(n=40)and control group(n=40).Control group received standard Western medical treatment including subcutaneous erythropoietin injections,while experimental group received additional administration of SQSYW on the base of control group's treatment regimen.Effective treatment rates,TCM symptom score,hemoglobin levels,and red blood cell counts were compared between two groups.Results Five key active ingredients,10 core targets and 30 main pathways were identified through pharmacological screening.Red blood cell count,hemoglobin,TCM syndrome and overall western medicine efficacy were better in experimental group than in control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion SQSYW can treat colorectal cancer anemia through multiple components,multiple targets and multiple pathways.The treatment effect of colorectal cancer anemia combined with SQSYW is better than that of simple western medicine.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of a baby smoothing and special caring cream in reducing the recurrence of atopic dermatitis (AD) in infancy.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted. Children with moderate AD (with overall investigator's global assessment [IGA] scores of 3 - < 4) were enrolled from Shunyi Maternal and Children′s Hospital of Beijing Children′s Hospital from April 2021 to June 2024. During the induction period, all children were topically treated with 0.1% hydrocortisone butyrate cream twice daily on the lesional skin, as well as with a baby smoothing and special caring cream at least twice daily throughout the body; at the 2-week visit, patients with an IGA score of ≤ 1 point entered the maintenance phase, while those with an IGA score of > 1 point continued the treatment for another 2 weeks; at the 4-week visit, patients with an IGA score of ≤ 1 point entered the maintenance phase, while those still with an IGA score of > 1 point were withdrawn from the study, and received conventional treatment. Patients who entered the maintenance period were randomly divided into the test group and the control group in a 1∶1 ratio using a random number table. In the test group, the hydrocortisone butyrate cream was discontinued, while the baby smoothing and special caring cream was continued twice daily for 8 consecutive weeks; in the control group, both the hydrocortisone butyrate cream and the baby smoothing and special caring cream were discontinued. IGA and Scoring AD (SCORAD) scores were assessed by clinicians at weeks 4 and 8 in the maintenance phase, while the patient-oriented eczema measure (POEM) score was evaluated weekly by patients' parents. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Breslow test were used to compare recurrence rates in the two groups (the primary efficacy outcome), and a generalized estimating equation model was used to evaluate the changes in IGA, SCORAD, and POEM scores in the two groups (the secondary efficacy outcomes). Adverse reactions were monitored throughout the study to evaluate safety.Results:A total of 68 children with moderate AD aged from 3 months to 2 years were included. There were 38 females and 30 males, aged 11.72 ± 6.03 months. Fifty-two patients entered the maintenance phase; 2 were lost to follow-up, and 50 were included in the per-protocol set, with 28 in the test group and 22 in the control group. The recurrence rate during the maintenance phase was 7.14% (2/28) in the test group and 31.82% (7/22) in the control group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ 2 = 5.08, P = 0.032). At weeks 4 and 8 in the maintenance phase, the IGA scores were significantly lower in the test group than in the control group (Wald χ 2 = 5.06, P = 0.024), whereas the SCORAD scores showed no significant differences between the two groups (Wald χ 2 = 2.92, P = 0.087). During weeks 1 - 8 in the maintenance phase, the POEM scores showed no significant differences between the two groups or over time (both P > 0.05), while the two groups showed different change trends in POEM scores over time (Wald χ 2interaction = 55.37, Pinteraction < 0.001). Throughout the entire study period, no adverse reactions were observed among all 68 subjects. Conclusion:With a high safety profile, the baby smoothing and special caring cream could reduce the recurrence rate during the maintenance phase, showing promise as an adjuvant therapy for the maintenance treatment of AD in infancy, and is worthy of clinical application.

ObjectiveBased on the phosphoinositide 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathway， the effects of Huanglian Zhimutang on glucose and lipid metabolism disorders and hepatic insulin resistance （IR） with type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） were investigated. MethodsGoto-Kakizaki （GK） rats were fed a high-fat diet to induce a T2DM rat model and then randomly divided into four groups： normal control group， model control group， metformin group （0.10 g·kg^-1）， and Huanglian Zhimutang group （3.60 g·kg^-1）， with eight rats in each group. Drug intervention was administered continuously for 8 weeks. Serum and liver tissues were collected from each group. Fasting insulin （FINS） levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance （HOMA-IR） index was calculated. Total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） levels were measured using an automatic biochemical analyzer. Liver tissue pathology was observed via hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Serum interleukin-6 （IL-6） and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） levels were detected using ELISA. Network pharmacology and transcriptomics sequencing were combined to analyze differentially expressed genes （DEGs） in liver tissue from the normal control group， model control group， and Huanglian Zhimutang group. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis was performed to identify pathways affected by Huanglian Zhimutang intervention in T2DM. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to assess the mRNA expression of insulin receptor substrate-1 （IRS-1）， PI3K， Akt， and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma （PPARγ） in liver tissue， while Western blot was used to evaluate corresponding protein expression levels. ResultsAfter 8 weeks of Huanglian Zhimutang intervention， typical symptoms of T2DM rats such as polydipsia， polyphagia， and polyuria were significantly alleviated， along with reductions in fasting blood glucose levels and insulin resistance（P<0.01）. Histopathological results revealed that Huanglian Zhimutang effectively improved hepatic steatosis and inflammatory edema and reduced lipid vacuole formation. Biochemical tests demonstrated that Huanglian Zhimutang significantly reduced serum levels of TC， TG， and LDL-C（P<0.01）. ELISA results showed that Huanglian Zhimutang effectively decreased serum concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α（P<0.05，P<0.01）. Combined network pharmacology predictions with KEGG pathway analysis of transcriptomics showed that DEGs between the Huanglian Zhimutang and model control groups were significantly enriched in the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Real-time PCR and Western blot results confirmed that Huanglian Zhimutang upregulated the expression of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway-related mRNAs and proteins in liver tissue（P<0.05，P<0.01）， thereby reducing inflammation， alleviating hepatic lipid accumulation， and enhancing insulin sensitivity. ConclusionHuanglian Zhimutang effectively ameliorates glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in T2DM rats. Its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the PI3K/Akt pathway， which reduces inflammation and hepatic lipid deposition and relieves hepatic insulin resistance.

ObjectiveTo investigate the dynamic trajectories of prognostic scores and key clinical indicators in hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure （HBV-ACLF） patients without liver cirrhosis， to clarify their association with outcomes， and to provide new evidence for individualized prognostic assessment. MethodsA prospective study was conducted for the data of 154 non-cirrhotic HBV-ACLF patients who attended Beijing YouAn Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2016 to December 2023， including prognostic scores and key biochemical indicators on Days 3， 7， 14， 21， and 28 of the disease course. According to the outcome of patients at 1 year， they were divided into death/liver transplantation group with 43 patients， liver cirrhosis group with 23 patients， and non-liver cirrhosis group with 88 patients， and the trajectory heterogeneity of different outcome subgroups was analyzed. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data among the three groups； the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data among the three groups； the Wilcoxon test was used between two groups. the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The mean and its 95% confidence interval （CI） were calculated for each indicator at difference time points； the linear interpolation method was used to connect the means at adjacent time points and construct the group-specific longitudinal trend curve； the 95%CI was visualized using the semi-transparent ribbon area， with the transparency parameter （α=0.2） optimized to enhance the visual discrimination of overlapping intervals across multiple groups. A linear mixed-effects model was used to compare the longitudinal changing trend of each indicator between the patients with different outcomes； likelihood ratio was used to evaluate the significance of the interaction effect between time and group， and in case of the significant interaction effect， the slope based on the estimated marginal mean was used for comparison between two groups. ResultsThere were significant differences between the three groups in the incidence rates of ascites and grade Ⅲ — Ⅳ hepatic encephalopathy， MELD score， MELD-Na score， CLIF-C ACLF score， COSSH-ACLF Ⅱ score， total bilirubin （TBil）， international normalized ratio （INR）， alpha-fetoprotein， blood sodium， alanine aminotransferase， and procalcitonin at the baseline（all P0.05）. The analysis of dynamic trajectories showed that the death/liver transplantation group had high levels of prognostic scores and the biochemical parameters of TBil and INR （TBil400 μmol/L， INR2.5）， as well as a low level of platelet count （PLT） （100×10⁹/L）. The non-liver cirrhosis group had rapid improvements in indicators， with TBil200 μmol/L， INR1.5， and PLT100×10⁹/L by day 28， while the liver cirrhosis group showed a trend of recovery， with TBil200 μmol/L， INR2.0， and PLT 100×10⁹/L on day 28， with significant global heterogeneity in the temporal trends of the above indicators across the three groups （all P0.01）. ConclusionDynamic monitoring of prognostic scores and key clinical indicators can effectively stratify the 1-year outcomes of non-cirrhotic patients with HBV-ACLF. Patients with poor prognosis were typically characterized by INR 2.5 and TBil 400 μmol/L. Among those who survived beyond 1 year， individuals who subsequently progressed to cirrhosis were frequently identified by the presence of INR 1.5， TBil 200 μmol/L， and PLT 100×10⁹/L at day 28.
