ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate and evaluate the staged efficacy and safety of the representative empirical prescription of the “Zhu Ke Jiao” theory， Qijia Rougan prescription， combined with entecavir in the treatment of hepatic fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B. MethodsA multicenter randomized controlled clinical study was conducted， and 101 patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B-related hepatic fibrosis （CHB-HF） who met the diagnosis and inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to an observation group （Qijia Rougan prescription + entecavir） and a control group （entecavir）. The treatment duration was 24 weeks. Liver stiffness measurement （LSM）， fibrosis-4 index （FIB-4）， portal vein diameter， hepatitis B serology， biochemical indicators， hepatic fibrosis markers in serum ［hyaluronic acid （HA）， laminin （LN）， procollagen Ⅲ peptide （PⅢP）， and type Ⅳ collagen （Ⅳ-C）］， and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores were used as efficacy evaluation indicators. Efficacy assessments and explorations of different staged subgroups of Qijia Rougan prescription were conducted according to LSM values based on the Metavir pathological staging standard. ResultsA total of 98 cases were included for statistical analysis， with 49 cases in the observation group and 49 in the control group. The general data of the patients in both groups were comparable. Compared with the same group before treatment， the observation group showed a significant reduction in LSM and FIB-4 （P<0.01）， as well as notable improvements in LN， Ⅳ-C， and various TCM syndrome scores （P<0.05， P<0.01）. When compared to the control group after treatment， the observation group demonstrated significant improvements in LSM， FIB-4， and various TCM syndrome score indicators （P<0.05， P<0.01）， indicating that the observation group performed better than the control group. Subgroup analysis of the regression of hepatic fibrosis stages showed that compared to the same group before treatment， the observation group had better improvement in regression of stages F2 and F3 （P<0.05）. When compared to the control group after treatment， the observation group exhibited superior improvement in regression of stage F3 （P<0.05）. No adverse events occurred in either group during the treatment period. ConclusionCompared with entecavir alone， the combination of Qijia Rougan prescription and entecavir significantly improves the degree of hepatic fibrosis and clinical TCM symptoms in patients. The optimal intervention period is primarily during stage F3， which is a potential “interception” point of the “Zhu Ke Jiao” theory.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis（NEC）and analyze the risk factors for early-onset NEC.Methods:A total of 220 children with NEC admitted to the Department of Pediatrics，Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January 1st，2018 to February 29th，2024 were retrospectively selected as the research objects. According to the time of onset，the early-onset group（ n=120）and the late-onset group（ n=100）were established，and the clinical characteristics of the two groups were compared. Another 150 cases of normal healthy newborns born in this hospital in the same period were selected as the control group，and the clinical data of the control group were collected. The clinical characteristics of the early-onset group and the control group were compared，and the risk factors of early-onset NEC were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression. Results:Compared with the late-onset group，the early-onset group had fever［50.0%（60/120）vs. 40%（40/100）， χ2=7.333， P=0.007］，apnea［39.17%（47/120）vs. 28%（28/100）， χ2=7.568， P=0.006］，no rise in body temperature［56.67%（68/120）vs. 39%（39/100）， χ2=6.815， P=0.009］，abdominal distension［25%（30/120）vs. 40%（40/100）， χ2=13.200， P<0.001］，vomiting［30.83%（37/120）vs. 45%（45/100）， χ2=12.797， P<0.001］was significantly different（all P<0.05）；Multivariate Logistic regression analysis：weight<1 500 g（ OR=5.871，95% CI：3.153～9.673， P<0.001），gestational age<30 weeks（ OR=4.256，95% CI：2.641～7.896， P=0.007），hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus（hs-PDA）（ OR=3.113，95% CI：1.865～5.133， P=0.033），severe anemia（ OR=3.057，95% CI：2.165～4.802， P=0.001），feeding intolerance（ OR=4.215，95% CI：1.579～10.802， P=0.005），amniotic fluid pollution（ OR=2.452，95% CI：1.579～3.111， P<0.001）were the independent risk factors for early-onset NEC（all P<0.05）. Conclusion:Weight<1 500 g，gestational age<30 weeks，hs-PDA，severe anemia，feeding intolerance，and amniotic fluid contamination are independent risk factors for early-onset NEC. In clinical practice，more attention should be paid to these factors for disease prevention，early identification，and timely intervention in newborns to reduce the occurrence of NEC.

Objective:To examine the attentional processing of verbal emotional information in college students with subclinical depression.Methods:Fifty college students were recruited(24 with subclinical depression group and 26 in the control group)were recruited from a university in Liaoning Province to investigate the atten-tional bias of subclinically depressed college students towards verbal emotional information(experiment 1).In addi-tion,48 college students(20 with subclinical depression and 28 in the control group)were recruited to investigate the attention disengagement of subclinically depressed college students from verbal emotional information(experi-ment 2).In experiment 1,two groups passively viewed words and recorded the eye movement data of emotional words.In experiment 2,two groups were asked to watch the emotional word-neutral word pair.When color borders were presented around neutral words,the attention disengagement latency that was the time taken by the eye saccade from emotional words to neutral words was recorded.Results:The results of experiment 1 showed that the total fix-ation duration of negative words in the subclinical depression group was longer than that in the control group(P＜0.01).The results of experiment 2 showed that attention disengagement latency of negative words in the subclinical depression group was longer than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:College students with subclini-cal depression exhibit attentional bias towards negative verbal information and difficulties in attentional disengage-ment.

To understand the infection status of main intestinal protozoa in BALB/c mice and pro-vide a basis for further control of intestinal protozoa infection.Five hundred and forty BALB/c mice provided by four domestic suppliers of BALB/c mice were detected for intestinal protozoa,in which 140 from supplier A,130 from supplier B,135 from supplier C,and 135 from supplier D,re-spectively.Fresh faecal samples were collected from each mouse separately to extract the genome and amplified by nested PCR based on primers for the 18S rRNA gene sequences of Pent-atrichomonas hominis(P.hominis)and Cryptosporidium tyzzeri(C.tyzzeri),and the 16S-like rRNA gene sequence of Tritrichomonas muris(T.muris)and sequenced.The results showed that the total intestinal protozoan infection rate was 7.1％(10/140)in 140 mice faecal samples provided by supplier A.Among them,the positivity rate of T.muris was 7.1％(10/140),C.tyzzeri was 2.1％(3/140),and P.hominis was 7.1％(10/140),the co-infection rate of two intestinal protozoa was 7.1％(10 mice:T.muris+P.hominis),and three intestinal protozoa was 2.1％(3 mice:T.muris+P.hominis+C.tyzzeri).The total intestinal protozoan infection rate in 135 mice faecal samples provided by supplier C was 7.4％,in which,7.4％(10/135)was positive for T.muris.There are no intestinal protozoa to be detected in 130 mice faecal samples from supplier B and 135 mice faecal samples from supplier D.The homology analysis showed that the homology of ampli-fied sequence of T.muris,P.hominis and C.tyzzeri was 98.52％,98.27％and 99.87％compared with published sequence of GenBank No:AY886846.1,GenBank No:AF156964.1 and GenBank No:KJ000486.1,which was clustered as an independent branch by phylogenetic analysis respec-tively.In conclusion,there are intestinal protozoan infection in BALB/c mice in some animal sup-pliers.The co-infections of more than 3 parasites such as T.muris,P.hominis and C.tyzzeri has been found.It will provide a basis for control of intestinal protozoa infection in BALB/c mice in the future.

Objective:To explore the impact of the two-way referral model on compliance and prognosis in patients with heart failure.Methods:This bidirectional cohort study enrolled chronic heart failure (CHF) patients treated at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University or designated primary hospitals between March 2018 and March 2022. Patients were categorized into two groups based on referral status: two-way referral group (participating in the referral model with≥1 follow-up visit at primary hospitals) and the core hospital group (receiving treatment and follow-up exclusively at Qilu Hospital). Baseline clinical characteristics were collected and compared between groups. Patients underwent followed-up, with primary endpoints including follow-up rate, drug (β-blockers, angiotension converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)/angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blockers (ARB)/angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists) utilization rate and target dose achievement rate. Secondary endpoints encompassed changes from baseline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd), and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), plus cardiovascular mortality and heart failure rehospitalization. Generalized linear mixed models analyzed longitudinal trends in LVEF, LVEDd, and NT-proBNP levels. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression evaluated LVEF recovery rates, supplemented by subgroup analyses. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors influencing target dose achievement rate for β-blockers and ACEI/ARB/ARNI therapies in CHF patients.Results:A total of 357 patients were enrolled, aged 53 (41, 63) years, including 256 males (71.7%). 157 patients were in the two-way referral group and 200 patients in the core hospital-treated group. Compared with the core hospital-treated group, the two-way referral group had lower baseline LVEF (28 (22, 34)% vs. 31 (23, 36)%, P=0.021) and systolic blood pressure (116 (104, 125) mmHg vs. 121 (109, 134) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), P=0.010). The 12-month follow-up rate of the two-way referral group was higher than the core hospital-treated group (73.8% vs. 56.0%, P=0.004). No significant between-group differences were observed in drug utilization rate of β-blockers, ACEI/ARB/ARNI, or sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors during follow-up (all P>0.05), while mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists use showed a declining trend in both groups. Although the core hospital-treated group had higher target dose achievement rates for β-blockers (65.4% vs. 49.3%, P=0.042) and ACEI/ARB/ARNI (79.8% vs. 65.8%, P=0.046) than the two-way referral group, multivariate logistic regression indicated that the two-way referral model was not a negative predictor for these outcomes (all P>0.05). Both groups showed improved NT-proBNP, LVEDd, and LVEF from baseline (all P<0.001) with no significant difference in trends between groups (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the composite incidence (7.6% vs. 6.5%, P=0.674) and cumulative incidence (log-rank P=0.684) of cardiovascular death and heart failure rehospitalization at 12 months between two groups. Conclusion:The two-way referral model demonstrates advantages in improving medication adherence, drug utilization rates, and targetdoseachievement rates among CHF patients. This model not only promotes cardiac functional recovery but also reduces risks of cardiovascular mortality and heart failure rehospitalization, achieving comparable therapeutic and management outcomes to those observed in core hospital-treated patients.

Radical resection of mid-and low-rectal cancer requires not only oncologic safety but also preservation of organs and postoperative bowel function.While a 1-2 cm distal resection margin has been largely accepted,the optimal length of the proximal margin remains highly controversial.Clinically,the"10-cm rule"derived from colon cancer is often referenced,yet its applicability to rectal cancer lacks consistent supporting evidence.Previous studies have shown that an excessively long proximal margin may increase anastomotic tension and lead to anastomotic leakage,whereas insufficient resection heightens the risk of positive margins and local recurrence.In addition,the extent of lymph node metastasis,vascular perfusion of the proximal bowel,radiation-induced injury after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy,and postoperative bowel function-particularly low anterior resection syndrome-are all important factors influencing the selection of the proximal margin.In recent years,the application of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging has provided new evidence for intraoperative assessment of bowel perfusion;for patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy,radiation injury presents a gradient pattern,and resecting approximately≥20 cm proximal to the tumor may reduce the incidence of anastomosis-related complications.Based on current literature,this review provides a systematic overview of the historical evolution,influencing factors,and clinical evidence regarding proximal resection margins in rectal cancer surgery,with the aim of informing individualized margin selection and optimizing surgical strategies.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of TCM symptoms of aging in female insomnia patients;To provide syndrome differentiation evidence for clinical prevention and treatment of female aging.Methods A cross-sectional study method was used to include female insomnia patients who attended outpatient clinics at Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,Beijing Changping District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,and the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from August 2021 to July 2024.The patients'clinical information was collected,and frequency analysis,factor analysis,and clustering analysis of the relevant clinical information of the 107 female insomnia patients were conducted,which,together with the experts'opinions,resulted in characteristics of TCM syndrome elements and syndrome distribution of aging in female insomnia patients.Results Totally 20 core items were screened and 7 common factors were obtained from the factor analysis.There were 5 types of syndrome elements of disease location associated with aging symptoms in female patients with insomnia,including heart,liver,spleen,kidney and lung;and there were 7 types of syndrome elements of disease property,including qi deficiency,yin deficiency,qi stagnation,blood deficiency,heat,phlegm,and dampness.There were 4 types of syndromes were obtained from the systematic clustering,including heart-kidney disharmony syndrome,heart-liver stagnation syndrome,spleen deficiency and qi stagnation syndrome,lung-spleen qi deficiency syndrome.Conclusion By analyzing the TCM syndrome characteristics of aging symptoms in female patients with insomnia,four types of syndromes are obtained.The heart-kidney disharmony syndrome is the common syndrome.The internal relationship between insomnia and aging process in female patients with insomnia is revealed from the perspective of pathogenesis,which can provide a research basis for the clinical practice of TCM anti-aging guided by syndrome differentiation and treatment in the future.

Objective To investigate the metabolic characteristics of patients with early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and to develop a risk prediction model for microvascular complications.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 980 T2DM patients admitted for treatment between April 2020 and April 2024.Based on age at diagnosis,the patients were divided into two groups,an early-onset T2DM group(age at diagnosis<40 years,n=265)and a late-onset T2DM group(age at diagnosis≥40 years,n=715).Differences in metabolic indicators between the two groups were compared.Patients in the early-onset group were further divided into a complication subgroup(n=142)and a non-complication subgroup(n=123)based on the presence or absence of microvascular complications.Data on baseline characteristics,metabolic parameters,and laboratory indicators were collected and compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for microvascular complications,and a nomogram prediction model was constructed.The model's discriminative performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves,and its calibration was evaluated using calibration curves and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.Decision curve analysis(DCA)was also performed to assess the model's clinical utility.Results Compared with the late-onset group,patients in the early-onset group exhibited more pronounced metabolic abnormalities,including higher body mass index(BMI),proportion of family history of diabetes mellitus,glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)levels,total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),triglyceride-glucose index(TyG),and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)levels(all P<0.05),along with a shorter disease duration and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)(P<0.05).According to a multivariate analysis,systolic blood pressure(SBP),total bilirubin(TBIL),HDL-C,LDL-C,TyG,and LDH were identified as independent risk factors for microvascular complications in patients with early-onset T2DM.A predictive model based on these factors was established as the follows,Log(P)=-19.915+0.017×SBP-0.136×TBIL-1.241×HDL-C+0.684×LDL-C+0.769×TyG+0.050×LDH.The area under the ROC curve(AUC)was 0.864(95%CI,0.820-0.907),and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test indicated good model fit(χ2=10.286,P=0.246).The slope of the DCA curve was also close to 1.Conclusion The nomogram prediction model based on SBP,TBIL,HDL-C,LDL-C,TyG,and LDH demonstrates good predictive performance for microvascular complications and can provide a reference for clinical risk stratification and individualized intervention.
