Objective:To construct the impact factor model of primary traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) health management service quality, and put forward corresponding policy suggestions.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, the typical sampling and random sampling method were used to select 39 insiders of primary TCM health management service from 15 communities in Zhejiang Province from August to October in 2022. Interviews on service projects, implementation effects and impact factors were conducted, the three-level coding of interview record was carried out using the grounded theory research method, a model of impact factor for health management service quality of basic TCM was constructed, and the corresponding policy recommendations were put forward.Results:Based on the open coding of 39 original interview data, a total of 516 reference points were obtained, and 53 initial concepts related to the topic were formed and summarized into 17 first-level categories. Through the summary of main axis coding, 6 main categories of “policy environment”,“health literacy”,“community orientation”,“capacity building”,“health preference” and “conflict of interest” were extracted. The logical correlation between the six main categories were analyzed with selective coding, an impact factor model was constructed in accordance with the story line of factors affecting service quality. The story line of this model was as follows: first, the policy environment was the external guarantee of community TCM service quality; second, as the demand-side of the services, the health literacy and requirement of residents was the regulatory factor for service quality; in addition, the community played the role of the supply-side of the services, the service ability construction was the key factor, and the community functions and target orientation was the internal driving factor, meanwhile, the internal/external conflicts of interest had a negative constraint on the service quality.Conclusions:The guarantee intensity of external policy environment is limited, the service demand side pays insufficient attention, and the service supply side functions are absent at the present stage. It is necessary to improve the external policy environment, deepen the connection between supply and demand sides in the field of TCM health service, promote the capacity building of TCM service at the grass-roots level, balance the interests of relevant departments of TCM service, in order to improve the quality of TCM health management service at the grass-roots level.

Objective:This study aimed to share preliminary experiences of single-incision plus two ports laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with right-sided overlap and single-flap valvuloplasty (ROSF).Methods:Following the 6th edition of the Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines, proximal gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy was performed. Using a single-port approach, the esophagus was transected at least 2 cm above the tumor's upper margin with linear staplers. The stomach was then extracted through a periumbilical incision, and the proximal stomach was subsequently transected extracorporeally, while ensuring appropriate resection margins on both the greater and lesser curvatures. A single flap was created before returning the remnant stomach to the abdominal cavity and re-establishing pneumoperitoneum. The No.2 clip was used to grasp and elevate the esophageal stump. An incision was made at the right lower edge of the esophageal stump to guarantee that the esophageal lumen was open. The linear stapler was then inserted into the openings of the stomach and esophagus to perform a side overlap anastomosis with a length of 3 cm. Another barbed suture was used to close the common opening of the esophagus and the stomach, and the same barbed suture were used to suture the gastric wall to the lower edge of the muscle flap. The first barbed suture was then used to sequentially suture the proximal brim of the flap to the esophagus and the right brim of the flap to the right brim of the mucosal window. After completion of anastomosis, a drainage tube was inserted through the right upper port. This procedure was employed from November 2023 to March 2024 on five patients diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction and upper stomach. The cohort consisted of three males and two females, with an age range of 62 to 75 years and a body mass index (BMI) of 13.7 to 24.2 kg/m2. All cases were preoperatively staged as T1-2N0M0, confirmed by endoscopic biopsy and enhanced CT scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis.Results:All five patients successfully underwent the surgery. The median surgery time was 180-325 minutes, with the intraoperative blood loss of 30-50 ml. The number of lymph nodes harvested ranged from 18 to 27. The time to first flatus, and restore liquid diet and was 2.0-5.0 and 1.0-3.0 days, respectively. The postoperative length of stay was 9.0-11.0 days. The pain scores on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). On the first day, the pain scores were 3.0 in two cases, 2.0 in two cases, and 1.0 in one case. On the second day, the pain scores were 2.0 in two cases and 1.0 in three cases. On the third day, the pain scores were 1.0 in four cases and 2.0 in one case. No short-term postoperative complications were observed, and there were no perioperative deaths.Conclusion:Single-incision plus two ports laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with ROSF is safe and feasible.

Chinese Journal of Experimental Traditional Medical Formulae 2023;29(24):130-137
ObjectiveTo explore the effects and mechanisms of Kaiyu Zhongyutang on insulin resistance, glucose and lipid metabolism, psychological state, and embryo outcome in the infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) due to liver depression and kidney deficiency. MethodThe 126 infertile patients with PCOS due to liver depression and kidney deficiency who underwent in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in the Department of Reproduction of the affiliated hospital of Nanjing university of Chinese medicine were randomly assigned into the observation (Kaiyu Zhongyutang + metformin) and control (metformin) groups. The two groups were compared in terms of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores, body mass index (BMI), glucose and lipid metabolism, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, C-reactive protein (CRP), self-rating depression scale (SDS) score, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score, and clinical and laboratory scores of IVF after treatment. Result① After treatment, the observation group showed decreased scores of primary and secondary TCM syndromes and total TCM syndrome score (P < 0.05), and the control group presented decreased scores of irritability and depression and total TCM syndrome score (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group demonstrated reduced primary and secondary syndrome scores and total score after treatment (P<0.05). ② After treatment, both groups showed decreased BMI, lowered levels of fasting insulin (FINS), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and HOMA-IR (P<0.05), and elevated high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level (P<0.05). Moreover, the observation group had lower BMI, FINS, FPG, TC, TG, LDL, and HOMA-IR and higher HDL than the control group (P<0.05). ③ The treatment in both groups lowered the levels of IL-6, IL-8, and CRP and decreased SDS and SAS scores (P<0.05). Moreover, the declines in the observation group were more obvious than those in the control group (P<0.05). ④ Correlation analysis before treatment, IL-6, IL-8, and CRP had positive correlations with BMI, HOMA-IR, TC, TG, LDL, SDS, and SAS (P<0.05) and a negative correlation with HDL (P<0.05). ⑤ The observation group showed reduced gonadotropin (Gn) using days and total Gn dose and higher two-pronuclear (2PN) fertilized oocytes, 2PN cleavage rate, normal fertilization rate, D3 transferable embryo number, D3 high-quality embryo number, high-quality embryo rate, and blastocyst formation rate than the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionKaiyu Zhongyutang can treat PCOS patients by improving the emotional and reproductive functions and alleviating insulin resistance and glucose and lipid metabolism disorders. Moreover, it can reduce the Gn dose and Gn using days in the IVF process, improve the quality and maturity of eggs, increase the egg fertilization rate, enhance the potential of embryo development, and increase the rate of blastocyst formation by inhibiting inflammation.

Objective To explore the difference of balance ability between patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain ( CNLBP) and healthy individuals, and the correlation between patients’ pain symptoms, lumbar flexibility, abdominal muscle endurance, overall function, quality of life and fear of avoidance with balance ability, so as to guide clinical rehabilitation evaluation. Methods A total of 34 patients with CNLBP were selected as the experimental group, and 34 healthy volunteers without history of low back pain were selected as control group. The plantar pressure measurement system was used to collect the ratio of forefoot to hindfoot pressure, pathlength ( L) of plantar center of pressure ( COP), displacement length in anteroposterior direction ( LAP ), displacement length in mediolateral direction (LML ), mean velocity (v), displacement velocity in anteroposterior direction (vAP ), displacement velocity in mediolateral direction (V-ML) and elliptical swing area (S). In addition,the experimental group was assessed by the visual analogue scale (VAS), the finger floor distance (FFD), the number of sit-ups in 1 minute, the Oswestry disability index (ODI), the 36-item short form survey (SF-36) and the fear avoidance beliefs questionnaire (FABQ), and correlated with plantar pressure parameters. Results All plantar pressure parameters were significantly different between the two groups ( P < 0. 05). The the ratio of forefoot to hindfoot pressure in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0. 05), and the parameters L, LAP , LML , v, vAP , vML and S were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0. 05). With eyes open or closed, the VAS score of experimental group was positively correlated with L, LAP , LML(P<0. 05), and FFD and FABQ scores were positively correlated with L and LML , respectively (P< 0. 05). With eyes open, ODI was positively correlated with L, LAP and LML (P< 0. 05), and SF-36 score was negatively correlated with L and LML(P<0. 05). With eyes closed, the number of 1-min sit-ups was negatively correlated with LAP and S (P<0. 05), ODI was positively correlated with L and LML(P<0. 05), and the SF-36 score was negatively correlated with L (P<0. 05). Conclusions The static balance ability of patients with CNLBP is decreased, and it is correlated with pain symptoms, lumbar function, quality of life and psychological status. The result can provide references for the assessment of functional activities.

Objective:To learn the key driving factors in the management of scientific and technological achievements transformation in public hospitals, so as to provide basis for improving the effectiveness of achievements transformation.Methods:From March to July 2021, 1 226 medical staff from 7 municipal hospitals in Hangzhou were investigated by stratified random sampling. The questionnaire included the main demographic information, the perceived importance and actual performance of the management mechanism(6 dimensions, 18 items)which was scored by Likert 5. Descriptive analysis was carried out and paired samples were compared by t-test, and the difference was significant when P<0.05. Importance matrix analysis was carried out on all items to identify the key driving factors for the transformation of achievements in public hospitals. Results:1 157 valid questionnaires were finally included. The difference between the scores of perceived importance and actual performance of the various management mechanisms was significance( P<0.001). The gap was presented as follows: evaluation mechanism(1.29), investment mechanism(0.88), organization and leadership mechanism(0.87), guarantee mechanism of services(0.44), benefit and distribution mechanism(0.15), incentive mechanism(-0.11). Matrix analysis results showed that, " special funds support" , " grasp market demand and accurately connect" , " formulate corresponding supporting systems" , " professional transformation team with multidisciplinary background" , " classified and multi-level achievement transformation evaluation index system" , " full life cycle management" , " incorporate into central work and key tasks" and " scientific and technological achievement transformation reporting system and application monitoring system" were the key driving factors for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in public hospitals. Conclusions:The perceived importance of medical staff to the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in public hospitals is acceptable, while the actual performance is relatively weak. The management effectiveness should be improved and give priority to consolidate the management foundation, build index evaluation system, provide the life cycle management service and improve scientific interaction as well as consultation service mechanism.

Objective:
To investigate the change in intestinal flora in Mongolian students with anxiety,so as to provide basis for exploring the relationship between flora and secretion expression in vivo.
Methods:
The Self rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)was used to assess anxiety in medical college students; then a semi structured interview was administered. Fecal samples that met the inclusion criteria were collected and divided into anxiety (SAS score≥50) and control groups (no anxiety, SAS score<50) according to the standard score of SAS. Samples provided by Mongolian female students were selected from each group. The total bacterial DNA was extracted from the fecal samples for PCR amplification and NovaSeq 2x250bp high throughput sequencing was performed for the V3- V4 region of 16S rDNA gene to obtain the biological information of the intestinal flora. The intergroup OTU, structural diversity, significant difference, and LEfSe analyses were performed with information mining of the literature think tanks.
Results:
Anxiety existed in 23.86% of the Mongolian students,and 16.96% of the Han people. A Chi square test showed no significant difference in detection of anxiety between Mongolian and Han college students ( P =0.07). Analysis of the alpha diversity index showed that the Shannon index, Simpson index, Chao1 index, and Observed species did not differed significantly between the two groups( t =8.0, 9.0 ,6.0,6.5). The difference in abundance of some bacteria was significant at the Class, Order, Family, and Genus levels between the two groups( t =-2.26-2.57,-5.08-3.58,-2.65-2.09, P <0.05).
Conclusion
The alpha diversity index showed that there was no significant difference in the abundance and diversity of intestinal flora between the two groups. While there were significant differences at different classification levels, the results suggest that the structure of intestinal flora can change in students with anxiety.
