Objective:
To analyze the relationship of gross motor skills and perceptual motor abilities with physical activity levels in preschool children in a Beijing kindergarten, so as to provide a reference for promoting the development of motor competence.
Methods:
From September 2018 to March 2021, preschoolers aged 4-5 years were selected using convenience sampling method from an urban kindergarten in Beijing. The Test of Gross Motor Development-Third Version(TGMD-3) was used to assess basic preschoolers s gross motor skills ( n =152). The Pictorial Scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence(PMSC) was used to evaluate perceptual motor skills ( n =151). Accelerometers (Actigraph GT3X) were used to record physical activity levels ( n =52). Data were analyzed using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation coefficients.
Results:
The mean scores for gross motor skills and perceptual motor abilities were (38.76±13.48) and (35.49±6.50), respectively. The moderate to vigorous physical activity(MVPA) level was(52.60±27.44) minutes per day. No statistically significant correlations were found between gross motor skills, perceptual motor abilities MVPA among boys, girls or the overall group ( r =-0.20 to 0.25, all P >0.05). However, Boys locomotor skills, overall children s locomotor skills, and boys gross motor skills were all positively correlated with MVPA( r =0.34-0.45, all P <0.05).
Conclusion
There is a correlation between locomotor skills and physical activity levels in 4 to 5-year-old children.

Guided by the theories of yin-yang and collateral disease, this paper identifies the dysregulation of yang qi ascent and descent as the core pathomechanism of hypertension. Based on clinical experience, a treatment approach centered on the method of raising yang and promoting descent was proposed. Clinically, three major syndrome types were identified. Firstly, deficiency of zong qi (ancestral qi) with blood stasis, obstruction of phlegm-turbidity and blood stasis, and hyperactivity of liver yang. Corresponding empirical formulation, Yizong Huoxue Decoction (益宗活血汤) was applied to tonify zong qi, invigorate blood, and raise yang. Secondly, Lizong Huoxue Decoction (理宗活血汤) was used to resolve phlegm, promote yang qi circulation, and regulate qi and blood. Thirdly, Qinggan Tongluo Decoction (清肝通络饮) was used to clear the liver, dredge collaterals, and subdue hyperactive yang. For special types such as non-dipper hypertension, time-specific syndrome differentiation and treatment can be applied based on a thorough understanding of the underlying pathomechanism, aiming to provide new insights into clinical diagnosis and treatment of hypertension.

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a complex clinical syndrome that the cardiac output is not enough to meet the metabolic needs of the body, or depends on the increase of filling pressure to compensate. Its high morbidity and mortality pose a serious threat to human health, necessitating attention and active intervention. At present, western medicine treatment of CHF is mainly based on diuretics, intravenous vasodilators, intravenous positive inotropic drugs, etc., which, however, have problems such as long medication cycles, serious side effects, and limited applicable population. Recent studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine can act in a multi-pathway, multi-component, and multi-target manner, showing unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of CHF. Buyang Huanwutang has the effects of tonifying Qi, activating blood, and dredging collaterals. Clinical and mechanism studies have confirmed that this prescription is effective in treating CHF and its syndromes. The clinical studies can be classified into two categories. Studies of the first category use simple modern medical diagnostic criteria as the inclusion criteria for CHF patients, which can improve the scientificity and objectivity. Studies of the second category uses modern medicine combined with traditional Chinese medicine disease diagnostic criteria for the screening of CHF patients, which helps to improve the accuracy of efficacy evaluation. However, there are problems such as the lack of unified research standards and the insufficiency of mechanism research. In addition, the available studies remain to be classified or summarized. This study systematically sorted out the clinical and mechanism studies of Buyang Huanwutang in the treatment of CHF in recent years to review the research status. In clinical treatment, Buyang Huanwutang can be used alone, or modified, or combined with other prescriptions or Western medicine. The mechanism studies predict that Buyang Huanwutang can ameliorate CHF by regulating the calcium balance, protecting the mitochondrial structure and function, and regulating intestinal flora. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the clinical application and optimization and subsequent in-depth study of Buyang Huanwutang in the treatment of CHF.

Objective:To explore and model risk factors in patients with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) after acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), and to develop and validate a personalized machine learning model to assess risk factors and predict MACEs in these patients.Methods:Clinical data of patients who attended Beijing Anzhen Hospital and underwent surgical treatment for ATAAD from January 2018 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Using MACEs as the endpoint, 70% of these patients were randomly divided into the training set and the remaining 30% into the validation set. LASSO regression was applied to explore key clinical variables in the training set. The optimal predictive model was selected from nine machine learning algorithms based on area under the curve. And Shapley Additive explanations was used to elucidate the predictive model. Results:Of the 481 patients included in this study, 135 (35.6%) patients experienced an endpoint event. By combining the results of the training and validation sets, when assessing the validity of the single model with the highest predictive accuracy for the outcome, it was shown that the logistic model (0.774, 95% CI: 0.717-0.830) was the most effective in the combined effect and had a high model accuracy (0.743, 95% CI: 0.720-0.766). According to the results of the LASSO, the factors most associated with postoperative MACEs were history of cerebrovascular disease, coronary artery involvement, shock status on admission to the operating room, FDP, PLT, CPB, ascending aortic clamping, and age. Conclusion:In this study, nine machine learning models were developed to predict the occurrence of postoperative MACEs in patients with acute type A aortic dissection. The logistic model performed significantly better compared to other algorithms. Our study successfully predicted postoperative MACES and identified the factors most associated with MACEs.
