A scoping review was performed to systematically search and summarize the clinical research in the treatment of dysmenorrhea with oral Chinese patent medicines. The oral Chinese patent medicines for treating dysmenorrhea in three major drug lists, guidelines, and textbooks were screened, and the relevant clinical trials were retrieved from eight Chinese and English databases. The key information of the included trials was extracted and visually analyzed. A total of 50 Chinese patent medicines were included, among which oral Chinese patent medicines for the dysmenorrhea patients with the syndrome of Qi stagnation and blood stasis accounted for the highest proportion, and the average daily cost varied greatly among Chinese patent medicines. A total of 150 articles were included, involving 22 Chinese patent medicines, among which Guizhi Fuling Capsules/Pills, Sanjie Zhentong Capsules, and Dan'e Fukang Soft Extract were the most frequently studied. These articles mainly reported randomized controlled trial(RCT), which mainly focused on the comparison of the intervention effect between Chinese patent medicines combined with western medicine and western medicine alone, and the sample size was generally 51-100 cases. The high-frequency outcome indicators belonged to nine domains such as effective rate, adverse reactions, and laboratory examinations. This study showed that oral Chinese patent medicines had advantages in the treatment of dysmenorrhea, and the annual number of related clinical trials showed an overall growing trend. However, there were still problems such as insufficient safety information and vague description of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndromes types in the instructions of Chinese patent medicines. The available clinical research had shortcomings such as uneven distribution of Chinese patent medicines, limited research scale, poor methodological rigor, and insufficient standardization of outcome indicators. In the future, it is necessary to deepen the development of high-quality clinical research and improve the contents of the instructions to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the clinical application of oral Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of dysmenorrhea.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the status and risk factors of neuropsychological development in small for gestational age (SGA) infants at corrected 12-24 months of age. METHODS: Clinical data were retrospectively collected for 754 SGA infants at corrected ages 12-24 months in Shenzhen Bao'an Women and Children's Hospital between April 2018 and December 2023. Developmental quotient (DQ) levels were analyzed. According to the presence of global developmental delay (GDD), participants were divided into a GDD group (71 cases) and a control group (683 cases), and the incidence and influencing factors of GDD were investigated. RESULTS: In the high-risk preterm SGA group, the total DQ and DQ in all domains were lower than in the full-term SGA group (P<0.017). The overall incidence of GDD was 9.4% (71/754) and increased with decreasing gestational age (P<0.017). Compared with the control group, the GDD group had higher proportions of males; low-risk and high-risk preterm birth; mothers with less than a bachelor's degree; multiple birth; neonatal hypoglycemia; neonatal pneumonia; neonatal respiratory distress syndrome; bronchopulmonary dysplasia; and, at corrected 12-24 months, low body weight, growth retardation, and microcephaly. The length of neonatal hospital stay was longer in the GDD group than in the control group (P<0.05). The weight-for-age Z score, length-for-age Z score, and head circumference-for-age Z score at birth and at corrected 12-24 months were lower in the GDD group than in the control group (P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression showed that male sex and maternal education below a bachelor's degree were independent risk factors for GDD in SGA infants (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Neuropsychological development in preterm SGA infants is comparatively delayed; male SGA infants born to mothers with less than a bachelor's degree should receive priority attention.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical features of acute myeloid leukemia patients with DEK-NUP214 fusion gene positive. METHODS: The DEK-NUP214 fusion gene was amplified by multi-nested PCR in 26 patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2018 to October 2023, and the disease course and post-transplant survival data were obtained by searching outpatient and inpatient medical records and telephone follow-up. RESULTS: The median follow-up time of pateints was 21.25（0.9-60.2） months. Among 26 patients with DEK-NUP214 fusion gene positive AML, 15 patients had FLT3-ITD gene mutation positive. One patient died after abandoning treatment due to non-remission of induction chemotherapy, one died due to infection, and 23 patients received allo-HSCT after achieving CR, of which one patient died within one month after transplantation due to multiple infections and one died due to severe pulmonary infection that did not respond to treatment. One patient received allo-HSCT in non-remission state and later died due to recurrence. CONCLUSION DEK-NUP214 fusion gene positive AML is a type of acute leukemia subtype with high risk and poor prognosis. Allo-HSCT treatment at the early stage of disease remission is the most effective way to improve the prognosis of patients.

OBJECTIVE: Humans are exposed to complex mixtures of environmental chemicals and other factors that can affect their health. Analysis of these mixture exposures presents several key challenges for environmental epidemiology and risk assessment, including high dimensionality, correlated exposure, and subtle individual effects. METHODS: We proposed a novel statistical approach, the generalized functional linear model (GFLM), to analyze the health effects of exposure mixtures. GFLM treats the effect of mixture exposures as a smooth function by reordering exposures based on specific mechanisms and capturing internal correlations to provide a meaningful estimation and interpretation. The robustness and efficiency was evaluated under various scenarios through extensive simulation studies. RESULTS: We applied the GFLM to two datasets from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). In the first application, we examined the effects of 37 nutrients on BMI (2011-2016 cycles). The GFLM identified a significant mixture effect, with fiber and fat emerging as the nutrients with the greatest negative and positive effects on BMI, respectively. For the second application, we investigated the association between four pre- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and gout risk (2007-2018 cycles). Unlike traditional methods, the GFLM indicated no significant association, demonstrating its robustness to multicollinearity. CONCLUSION GFLM framework is a powerful tool for mixture exposure analysis, offering improved handling of correlated exposures and interpretable results. It demonstrates robust performance across various scenarios and real-world applications, advancing our understanding of complex environmental exposures and their health impacts on environmental epidemiology and toxicology.

Compared to traditional machine learning algorithms,which often suffer from low feature extraction efficiency,insufficient nonlinear pattern recognition capabilities and slow training speeds,the broad learning system(BLS)enhances the learning ability and efficiency by horizontally expanding the network structure.BLS offers advantages such as a simple structure,fast training speed,and strong generalization capabilities.While BLS has demonstrated potential in various fields,but its application in identification of complex samples has not been fully explored.This research investigated the feasibility of using BLS algorithm for identification of complex samples based on physicochemical indicators.Using the iris,wine,and breast cancer datasets,the length and width of petals and sepals of iris flowers,the physicochemical properties of wine,and the nuclear characteristics of breast cancer cells were used as input variables to establish BLS models for identifying iris species,wine varieties,and benign versus malignant nucleus.The model performance was evaluated by confusion matrices,accuracy,and runtime.Compared with partial least squares-discriminant analysis(PLS-DA),soft independent modeling of class analogies(SIMCA),and artificial neural networks(ANN),the results indicated that BLS demonstrated significant advantages in computational efficiency and recognition accuracy.Thus,BLS was an efficient and reliable method for identification of complex samples.

Objective To investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndromes and related risk factors in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP).Methods The clinical data of 420 children with MPP admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine were collected.The clinical data included gender,age,history of respiratory tract diseases,TCM syndromes,MPP classification,cough duration,fever duration,fever peak value,laboratory indicators of C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT)and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),and the complication of infection.SPSS 26.0 software was used for data statistics,and then the distribution of TCM syndromes in children with MPP and its correlation with various clinical data,as well as the related risk factors of MPP with different classification and various TCM syndromes were explored.Results(1)Among the 420 children with MPP,there were 283 cases(67.4％)of mild MPP,76 cases(18.1％)of refractory MPP,and 61 cases(14.5％)of severe MPP.For the distribution of TCM syndromes,there were 152 cases(36.2％)of wind-heat obstructing the lung syndrome,141 cases(33.6％)of phlegm-heat obstructing the lung syndrome,77 cases(18.3％)of damp-heat obstructing the lung syndrome,25 cases(6.0％)of toxin-heat obstructing the lung syndrome,16 cases(3.8％)of lung-spleen qi deficiency syndrome,and 9 cases(2.1％)of yin deficiency and lung heat syndrome.For the classification of infection,there were 295 cases(70.2％)of simple mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP)infection and 125 cases(29.8％)of mixed infection.(2)There were statistically significant differences in age stratification and visit season among MPP children with different TCM syndromes(P＜0.01),while no significant differences were shown in the gender,history of respiratory tract diseases,and the complication of infection(P＞0.05).(3)There were statistically significant differences in the visit season,history of respiratory tract diseases,and the complication of infection among the children with various MPP types(P＜0.05),while no significant differences were shown in the gender and age stratification(P＞0.05).(4)There were statistically significant differences in laboratory indicators of CRP and PCT and in the symptoms of cough duration,fever duration and fever peak among MPP children with different TCM syndromes(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(5)Significant differences were presented in laboratory indicators of PCT and LDH and in the symptoms of cough duration,fever duration and fever peak value among the children with different MPP types(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(6)Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that CRP level ≥10.5 mg/L and wind-heat obstructing the lung syndrome were the independent risk factors for mild MPP(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01);fever duration≥7 days,cough duration ≥ 12 days and phlegm-heat obstructing the lung syndrome were the independent risk factors for refractory MPP(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01);cough duration ≥ 12 days,mixed infection and toxin-heat obstructing the lung syndrome were the independent risk factors for severe MPP(P＜0.01).Conclusion The results indicated that the classification MPP in children is predominated by mild MPP,and their TCM syndrome types is predominated by wind-heat obstructing the lung syndrome.The proportions of refractory MPP and damp-heat obstructing the lung syndrome increase significantly in autumn,which may be related to the characteristics of regional environment and circuit qi.The increase of CRP level and fever peak may be related to phlegm-heat obstructing the lung syndrome and toxin-heat obstructing the lung syndrome.In clinic,attention should be paid to the early use of heat-clearing and phlegm-resolving drugs or heat-clearing and toxin-removing drugs;children with the history of respiratory tract diseases and mixed infections are more likely to develop into severe MPP,and the physicians should be alert clinically.Wind-heat obstructing the lung syndrome,phlegm-heat obstructing the lung syndrome and toxin-heat obstructing the lung syndrome are the independent risk factor separately for mild MPP,refractory MPP and severe MPP,which requires timely intervention to prevent mild MPP from developing into refractory MPP or severe MPP in clinic.

Objective To evaluate the perioperative anxiety state and analyze the influencing factors of burned patients.Methods A total of 110 burned patients undergoing selective surgery under general anesthesia were included in the Fourth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from February to August 2022.All patients were evaluated with self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),visual analogue scale-anxiety(VAS-a),visual analogue scale-pain(VAS-p),mini-mental state examination(MMSE),and Ramsay sedation score 1-day before and after operation.The patients'parameters were recorded including mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)at admission(T0),before anesthesia induction(T1),2 min after intubation(T2),15 min after surgery(T3),during surgery(T4),at surgery end(T5),and immediately after leaving the operating room(T6).The occurrence and the influencing factors of perioperative anxiety in burn patients were analyzed using the univariate and multivariate logistic regression.Results The incidence of preoperative and postoperative anxiety in burn patients was 29.1%and 22.3%respectively.Univariate logistic analysis showed that gender(P=0.002),burn time(P=0.046),burn area(P=0.005),burn site(P=0.035),and degree of preoperative pain(P=0.001)were related with preoperative anxiety status in burn patients;while burn time(P=0.030),burn area(P=0.001),burn site(P=0.016),degree of preoperative pain(P=0.021),and preoperative anxiety status(P＜0.001)were related with postoperative anxiety state in burn patients.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender and degree of preoperative pain were the independent influencing factors of preoperative anxiety status in burn patients(P=0.002,0.022),and preoperative anxiety status was the independent influencing factor of postoperative anxiety status in burn patients(P＜0.001).Compared with the preoperative non-anxious patients(n=73),preoperative anxious patients(n=30)showed no significant difference in MAP at each time point(P＞0.05),but HR was accelerated(P＜0.05),and the dosage of sufentanil,remifentanil and propofol increased significantly during the operation(P＜0.05).Conclusions The anxiety state of burn patients was significantly higher before operation than that after operation,and their consumption of anesthetic drugs during operation was higher,and there was no significant correlation with the type and number of operation.Gender,degree of preoperative pain and anxiety state were the independent influencing factors of perioperative anxiety state in burn patients.Early intervention against relevant factors will help patients recover quickly.

Exploring the risk "time interval window" of sequential medication of Reduning injection (RDN) and penicillin G injection (PG) by detecting the correlation between serum biochemical indexes and plasma metabonomic characteristics, in order to reduce the risk of adverse reactions caused by the combination of RDN and PG. All animal experiments and welfare are in accordance with the requirements of the First Affiliated Experimental Animal Ethics and Animal Welfare Committee of Henan University of Chinese Medicine (approval number: YFYDW2020002). The changes of biochemical indexes in serum of rats were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. It was determined that RDN combined with PG could cause pseudo-allergic reactions (PARs) activated by complement pathway. Further investigation was carried out at different time intervals (1.5, 2, 3.5, 4, 6, and 8 h PG+RDN). It was found that sequential administration within 3.5 h could cause significant PARs. However, PARs were significantly reduced after administration interval of more than 4 h. LC-MS was used for plasma metabolomics analysis, and the levels of serum biochemical indicators and plasma metabolic profile characteristics were compared in parallel. 22 differential metabolites showed similar or opposite trends to biochemical indicators before and after 3.5 h. And enriched to 10 PARs-related pathways such as arachidonic acid metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis, linoleic acid metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, and tryptophan metabolism. In conclusion, there is a risk "time interval window" phenomenon in the adverse drug reactions caused by the sequential use of RDN and PG, and the interval medication after the "time interval window" can significantly reduce the risk of adverse reactions.
