ObjectiveThis paper aims to observe the syndrome improvement and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome). MethodsThrough a multi-center randomized controlled methodology design,confirmed influenza cases were collected from October 2022 to April 2023 in the pediatrics department of eight hospitals,such as Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 180 children with influenza and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome conforming to the standard were recruited through the clinic. The sick children meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into groups by a block-randomized method. The children in the experimental group were treated with Qingxuan Daozhi formula for five days,and those in the control group were treated with Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for five days. The primary efficacy indicator was the negative conversion rate of influenza antigen detection. Secondary efficacy indicators were the Canadian acute respiratory illness and flu scale (CARIFS) and the incidence of complications,severe cases, and critical cases. Follow-up observation was conducted on the day of enrollment,48 hours after medication,72 hours after medication, and (6+1) d after medication. ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group (90 cases) or the control group (90 cases). All participants were followed up during the study. Comparison of influenza antigen detection results in the primary efficacy indicators showed that the average time of negative influenza antigen conversion in the experimental group was (5.29±1.25) d,and that in the control group was (5.40±1.68) d,without a statistically significant difference. After five days of intervention,52 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group converted to negative,without a statistically significant difference. CARIFS score results in the secondary efficacy indicators showed that during 72 hours after intervention,there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in three dimensions, including headache,muscle soreness, and the need for extra care (P<0.05). On the (6+1) days after the intervention,the differences in both the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant in 10 dimensions, including sore throat,bad sleep,uncomfortable feeling,poor spirit and fatigue,crying more than usual,the need for extra care,symptom,function,influence on parents,and total score (P<0.05). The comparison results within the group in the dimensional scores of symptom, function, and influence on parents,as well as the CARIFS total score showed that with the delay of follow-up time,scores of both groups decreased significantly,with a statistically significant difference (P<0.01). Inter-group comparison results showed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at the time of enrollment. With the progress of intervention,the score of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. At the end of follow-up,the mean score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group,with no statistically significant difference. In terms of the incidence of complications,severe cases, and critical cases, there were no complications,severe cases, and critical cases in the two groups,without a statistically significant difference. ConclusionThe symptom improvement effect and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome) are not inferior to Oseltamivir Phosphate granules, and children's acceptance is better. It can be more widely used in clinical treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome).

A middle-aged male came to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for treatment because of "pain for 10+ years, aggravated with emotional instability for 5 years". The patient's pain had a huge impact on life, with poor results even after repeated diagnosis and treatment in other hospitals. After multi-disciplinary discussion, it had been clarified that the pain was mainly caused by gout. The disease was heavily influenced by psychosocial factors. Therefore, the patient fits the diagnosis of "Psychological and Behavioral Factors Affecting Physical Diseases". The multi-disciplinary comprehensive management of the patient was carried out to identify and treat psychological factors affecting other medical conditions. After this mental treatment was performed, the patient's conditions significantly improved. The diagnosis and treatment of this patient demonstrates the importance of the multi-disciplinary treatment team for somatic symptoms (disorders).

Nevus-like basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by the occurrence of multiple maxillofacial keratocysts, basal cell carcinoma, child medulloblastoma, and various skeletal and soft tissue dysplasia. In 2020, a patient with NBCCS dominated by facial basal cell carcinoma was admitted to Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. The patient was an elderly woman. Ten years ago, the systemic mass appeared, especially on the face, but it was not treated. Later, these masses gradually increased in volume and number, and showed invasive properties. The nasal mass was broken and suppurated, seriously affecting the patient's life quality. The patient came to the hospital to improve the symptoms. Staphylococcus aureus and Providencia rettgeri were cultured in the patient's nasal secretions. Nasal sinus enhanced MRI showed that the subcutaneous soft tissue of the right cheek and the anterolateral mucosa of the left nasal cavity were invaded, indicating multiple malignant skin lesions. After admission, local anesthesia was performed and some masses were removed. Pathological examination of the mass showed basal cell carcinoma. After general anesthesia, multiple masses were resected. The postoperative pathological examination showed that multiple basal cell carcinoma invaded the deep dermis near subcutaneous fat layer. Combined with the results of clinical and immunohistochemical examination, the patient was diagnosed as NBCCS. There were no clear tumor thrombus in the vessel and no nerve invasion. No recurrence or new tumor was found after 1 year follow-up. The incidence rate of NBCCS is low and clinical symptoms are different. The patient's life quality is poor and the patient needs long-term individualized treatment.
