ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and possible mechanism of Wei's Huoxue Tongluo Formula (韦氏活血通络方,WHTF) in treating atrophic-stage non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) with qi deficiency and blood stasis. MethodsA total of 82 atrophic-stage NAION patients with qi deficiency and blood stasis were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, with 41 cases in each group. The treatment group was given oral administration of WHTF twice a day plus acupoint injection of distilled water 2 ml at Taiyang (EX-HN5) once daily, while the control group received injection of compound anisodine injection 2 ml at Taiyang (EX-HN5) once daily and oral administration of WHTF placebo twice a day. Both groups received treatment for a course of 14 days. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), optic disc perfusion density (PD), flux index (FI), macular superficial PD, vascular density (VD), and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores were compared between groups before treatment and on day 7 and day 14 of treatment. Additionally, mean defect (MD) and mean sensitivity (MS) of visual fields were measured before treatment and on day 14, along with safety evaluation. ResultsAfter treatment, both groups showed significant improvement in BCVA, visual field MD and MS, and TCM syndrome scores (P<0.05 or P<0.01). On day 14 of treatment, the TCM syndrome score in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant improvement in optic disc PD and FI, and macular superficial PD and VD after treatment in either group (P>0.05) except that on day 7 the macular superficial foveal PD in the control group was significantly better than that in the treatment group (P<0.05). During the treatment period, no serious adverse events occurred in either group. ConclusionWHTF can improve the visual function indicators including visual acuity and visual field, as well as TCM syndrome scores in atrophic-stage NAION patients with qi deficiency and blood stasis. It shows clinical safety, although it does not appear to have a significant effect on optic disc or macular blood flow.

Objective:To analyse the role of economic toxicity on anxiety symptoms in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, in order to provide reference for reducing anxiety symptoms and improving mental health literacy in MHD patients.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey. A convenience sampling method was used to select MHD patients from Hangzhou Second People's Hospital Affiliated to Hangzhou Normal University and Deqing Hospital Affiliated to Hangzhou Normal University as the study subjects. The General Information Questionnaire, Economic Toxicity Composite Rating Scale, Family Resilience Questionnaire, Chronic Disease Management Self-Efficacy Scale, Social Support Rating Scale, and Self-rating Anxiety Scale were applied.The pathway of economic toxicity on anxiety symptoms in MHD patients was analyzed by AMOS26.0.Results:A total of 290 questionnaires were distributed, and 274 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 94% (274/290). Among the patients, there were 153 males and 121 females, aged (62.35 ± 12.57) years. The patients' economic toxicity score was (23.07 ± 5.36) points and anxiety symptom score (54.65 ± 17.31) points. The structural equation model was well fitted with χ2/ df=1.452, root mean square error of approximation was 0.041,goodness-of-fit index was 0.946,comparative fit index was 0.982, incremental fit index was 0.983, Tucker-Lewis index was 0.978. The results of the path analysis showed that economic toxicity in patients with MHD directly predicted anxiety symptoms, with an effect size of 36.4%; self-efficacy, family resilience, and social support played a significant role in the pathway between economic toxicity and anxiety symptoms pathways, with effect sizes of 23.4%, 27.4%, and 12.8%, respectively. Conclusions:Economic toxicity and anxiety symptoms in MHD patients are at risk values, and economic toxicity can directly affect anxiety symptoms, or indirectly through the mediating role of self-efficacy, family resilience, and social support.
