The evolving health demands of contemporary society urgently call for adaptive adjustments in health policies and a comprehensive enhancement of perspectives, horizons, and viewpoints. Grounded in the solid foundation of traditional Chinese culture, this paper proposed a multidimensional evaluation system for assessing the health status of modern China's ideal life. Drawing upon the philosophical insights of Confucianism, Daoism, Mohism, Song-Ming Neo-Confucianism, and their subsequent developments, as well as core cultural values such as harmony (和), happiness (福), and joy (乐), this system established a fundamental framework for evaluating health in modern ideal life. The framework consists of eight indices, i.e. harmony index, diligence index, peace of mind index, happiness index, compassion index, innovation index, fulfillment index, and adaptability index. The purpose of constructing this system is to comprehensively and deeply reflect the physical and mental characteristics and behavioral patterns of the Chinese population, and to provide a holistic evaluation framework for advancing the foundation of health in modern ideal life, offering solid scientific support for formulating health policies that align with China's national context.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as a treasure of the Chinese nation, plays a significant role in maintaining public health. In 2019, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council proposed for the first time the establishment of a TCM registration and evaluation evidence system that integrates TCM theory, "personal experience" and clinical trials (referred to as the "Three-in-One" System) to promote the inheritance and innovation of TCM. Subsequently, the National Medical Products Administration issued several guiding principles to advance the improvement and implementation of this system. Owing to the complexity of its implementation, there are still differing understandings within the TCM industry regarding the positioning of the "Three-in-One" Registration and Evaluation Evidence System, as well as the connotation and value orientation of the "personal experience." To address this, Academician WANG Qi, President of the TCM Association, China International Exchange and Promotion Association for Medical and Healthcare and TCM master, led a group of academicians, TCM masters, TCM pharmacology experts and clinical TCM experts to convene a "Seminar on Promoting the Implementation of the ′Three-in-One′ Registration and Evaluation Evidence System for Chinese Medicinals." Through extensive discussions, an expert consensus was formed, clarifying the different roles of the TCM theory, "personal experience" and clinical trials within the system. It was further emphasized that the "personal experience" is the core of this system, and its data should be derived from clinical practice scenarios. In the future, the improvement of this system will require collaborative efforts across multiple fields to promote the high-quality development of the Chinese medicinal industry.

OBJECTIVE To establish two-dimensional liquid chromatography method for the determination of imipenem blood concentration and apply it in clinical practice. METHODS The method for the determination of imipenem blood concentration was established based on automatic two-dimensional liquid chromatography. The targets were extracted by 1-dimensional column Aston SNCB (50 mm ×4.6 mm, 5 μm) and further separated and determined by 2-dimensional column Aston SCB (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm). The 1-dimensional mobile phase was imipenem-1D mobile phase [acetonitrile-methanol-water (15∶10∶75, V/V/V)] with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min; 2-dimensional mobile phase was 72%OPI-1 organic mobile phase (chromatographic grade methanol)-20% BPI-1 alkaline mobile phase [water (containing 20.0 mmol/L ammonium phosphate, pH adjusted to 7.2 with triethylamine)]-8%API-1 acidic mobile phase [water (containing 20.0 mmol/L ammonium phosphate, pH adjusted to 3.0 with phosphoric acid)] with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min; the column temperature was 40 ℃, UV detection wavelength was 310 nm and injection volume was 100 μL. Elution procedure: 1-dimensional column consisted of imipenem-1D mobile phase with eluting for 0-3.40 min; 2-dimensional column consisted of 72% OPI-1 organic mobile phase-20%BPI-1 alkaline mobile phase-8%API-1 acidic mobile phase with eluting for 3.40-11.00 min. RESULTS The linear range of imipenem was 0.171-18.570 μg/mL (R 2=0.999 9) with the lower limit of quantification for 0.171 μg/mL; the recovery rate ranged from 93.47% to 106.16%( n=5) and the RSDs of both intra-day and inter- day precision were below 15% (n=5). The minimum concentration of imipenem in 51 patients ranged from 0 to 19.57 μg/mL. CONCLUSIONS The established method is simple and fast with the large scale of sample, and can be used for the imipenem blood concentration monitoring in patients with severe infection.

Cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)is a slowly progressive cerebrovascular disease caused by structural and functional disorders of small vessels and vascular neural units in the brain,and CSVD imaging markers may be evidence as manifestations of brain aging.Clinically,the onset of CSVD is not limited to individuals in middle-to-old age.Young patients without typical vascular risk factors may also have imaging markers,such as enlarged perivascular space and white matter hyperintensity.The diagnosis and treatment of these cases must be approached seriously.Compared with Western medicine,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has an advantage in treating disorders related to emotions,sleep,and cognition in patients with CSVD.Regarding CSVD,there are commonalities between anatomical structures,physiological functions,pathogenic mechanisms,and xuanfu and collateral theories in TCM.We combined the xuanfu and abnormal collateral theory and classified CSVD into three clinical stages:early-stage,dysfunction in xuanfu and stagnation in the qi collaterals;middle-stage,endogenous toxins and damage to the blood vessels;and late-stage,kidney and marrow deficiency and toxins damaging the brain collaterals.Different treatment strategies,such as promoting qi circulation,calming the mind,and dredging collaterals in the early stage;dispelling pathogenic factors and promoting blood circulation in the middle stage;tonifying the kidney and replenishing the marrow and removing toxins from collaterals in the late stage,are applied at different stages to offer novel perspectives on TCM treatment for CSVD.

With the rapid development of society and the improvement of Western medicine,the average life expectancy of the Chinese population has steadily increased. Since the beginning of the 21th century,China has officially entered an aging society and is currently in a phase of rapid growth in the elderly population. The effective management and improvement of the health levels of the elderly have become urgent issues that society needs to address. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM),rooted in Chinese traditional culture,has developed a rich system of health preservation through thousands of years of historical practice,which has important guiding significance in actively coping with the aging of the population. This article discusses the historical evolution of the theory of health preservation in TCM,the interpretation of aging mechanisms by TCM,and the strategies for elderly health preservation from the perspective of TCM. By exploring TCM health preservation concepts,a theoretical framework for the health care of the elderly is constructed,so as to provide a scientific basis for their health management.

Objective:To examine the potential of combining the blood urea nitrogen(BUN)/albumin(ALB)ratio(BAR)with soluble growth stimulation expressed gene 2(sST2)as an early warning indicator for myocardial injury in elderly patients with sepsis in the emergency intensive care unit(EICU).Methods:The clinical data of elderly patients with sepsis admitted to the EICU of the Emergency Medicine Department at Harrison International Peace Hospital of Hebei Medical University from August 2018 to August 2022 were prospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of myocardial injury: the myocardial injury group and the non-myocardial injury group.The general clinical data and laboratory indexes of the two groups were compared, and the BAR was calculated.The correlation between BAR and myocardial injury in elderly patients with sepsis was analyzed.Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for myocardial injury in elderly patients with sepsis in the EICU.MedCalc software was employed to determine the early warning value of the combined sST2 and BAR for myocardial injury in elderly patients with sepsis in the EICU.Results:A total of 165 cases were analyzed, with 106 cases(64.24%)showing myocardial injury.It was found that elderly sepsis patients with lung and abdominal infection were more likely to experience myocardial injury( P<0.05 for all).In comparison to the group without myocardial injury, the levels of inflammatory markers such as white blood cell count(WBC), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR), lactic acid, and procalcitonin(PCT), as well as combined markers BAR and sST2, were higher in elderly sepsis patients with myocardial injury upon admission.Correlation analysis results revealed significant positive correlations between BAR and lactic acid, PCT, and C-reactive protein(CRP)within 24 hours of admission to EICU in elderly sepsis patients with myocardial injury.Among these correlations, the strongest was observed between BAR and PCT( r=0.417, P<0.001).Additionally, BAR exhibited a positive correlation with acute physiology and chronic health evaluation scoring system(APACHEⅡ)scores( r=0.241, P=0.002).Furthermore, BAR showed positive correlations with myocardial injury markers sST2 and cTnI( r=0.327, 0.307, P<0.05 for all).Logistic regression analysis revealed that septic shock( OR=2.406, P=0.008), decreased left ventricular ejection fraction(EF)( OR=0.939, P=0.015), BAR( OR=2.205, P=0.044), lactic acid( OR=1.137, P=0.014), and sST2 elevation( OR=1.016, P=0.020)were identified as independent risk factors for predicting myocardial injury in elderly patients with sepsis.The results of ROC analysis indicated that BAR had a high early warning value for the occurrence of myocardial injury in elderly patients with EICU sepsis[area under curve(AUC)0.651, P<0.05], with an optimal cut-off value of 0.32(sensitivity 77.4%, specificity 60.2%).Furthermore, the combined detection of BAR and sST2 demonstrated a higher early warning value for the occurrence of myocardial injury in elderly patients with sepsis(AUC 0.697, P<0.05).The mortality rate of patients with myocardial injury below a cut-off value of 0.32 was 36.00%(9/25), while the mortality rate of patients with myocardial injury equal to or above 0.32 was 66.67%(54/81).The difference between the two groups was statistically significant( χ2=8.624, P=0.003). Conclusions:Both BAR and sST2 are considered independent risk factors for myocardial injury in elderly patients with sepsis.The combined detection of BAR and sST2 provides a more accurate prediction for the occurrence of myocardial injury in these patients.

OBJECTIVE To establish the estimation model for the exposure of mycophenolic acid (MPA) in early renal transplant recipients [calculated by the area under the plasma concentration-time curve with 12 h (AUC0-12 h)]. METHODS Twenty kidney transplant recipients, who received triple immunosuppressive therapy of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)+tacrolimus+ methylprednisolone, were selected and given MMF dispersible tablets (750 mg, q12 h) on the 15th day after the operation; the blood samples were collected from the patients before and 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 12.0 hours after the administration, respectively. The blood concentration of MPA was determined, and the pharmacokinetic parameters of MPA were calculated. The multivariate linear stepwise regression analysis method was used to fit an estimation formula for the finite sampling method suitable for MPA-AUC0-12 h of the recipients. Bland-Altman analysis was used to evaluate the agreement between the estimation formula and the classical pharmacokinetic method. RESULTS The main pharmacokinetic parameters of MPA in 20 renal transplant recipients: c0 was (1.53±0.84) μg/mL, cmax was (12.07±5.97) μg/mL, t1/2 was (5.41±3.67) h, tmax was (1.58±0.75) h, and the average AUC0-12 h calculated by the classical pharmacokinetic method was (33.95±13.40) μg·h/mL. MPA-AUC0-12 h was estimated with sampling points of “4.0, 8.0, 12.0 h”; the simplified calculation formula was AUC0-12 h=12.058+2.819c4.0+7.045c8.0+ 3.879c12.0 (R 2=0.934). The predicted value had a good correlation and consistency with the measured value, and 95.0% of predicted values did not exceed the x±1.96SD (standard deviation) range. CONCLUSIONS The estimation model is established successfully for the exposure of MPA in early renal transplant recipients; the model has better prediction accuracy and fewer sampling points.

OBJECTIVE To explore and establish an analysis method for sulfamethoxazole blood concentration in patients with heart transplantation to guide clinical rational drug use. METHODS A new two-dimensional liquid chromatograph (2D-LC-UV) based on column switching technology was used. The on-line solid-phase extraction of sulfamethoxazole in serum was performed using a one-dimensional column Aston SC2(3.5 mm×25 mm, 5 μm), then it was intercepted and retained through the middle column Aston SBR(3.5 mm×10 mm, 5 μm), and the target analytes were completely separated and detected by transfer to the second-dimension column Aston SNX4(4.6 mm×130 mm, 5 μm). The chromatographic conditions were obtained by optimization. The one-dimensional mobile phase was acetonitrile-methanol-H2O(10:10:70), the flow rate was 0.8 mL·min-1; the two-dimensional mobile phase ratio was BPI-1 basic mobile phase-API-3 acidic mobile phase-methanol(20:40:40) the flow rate was 1.2 mL·min-1. The UV detection wavelength was 240 nm. RESULTS The correlation coefficient between the concentration of sulfamethoxazole and peak area was in the range of 9.96‒200.04 μg·mL-1 with R2=0.999 6, it showed a good linear relationship. The intra-day and inter-day precisions(RSD) at low, medium and high concentrations were <15%, and the relative recoveries were between 85%‒115%. The blood concentration of 56 patients in the hospital was measured, and only 30 patients(53.57%) had the blood sample sulfamethoxazole concentration of 100‒150 μg·mL-1, and the rest were not comfortable about the concentration treatment window; there were 0 cases of grade III-IV adverse reactions in the urinary system/blood system/liver, etc. CONCLUSION This method has a simple pre-treatment, high automation, can be sampled in large volumes, and has high accuracy and sensitivity. It can meet the requirements of clinical applications. The research results can provide a methodological reference for clinical therapeutic drug monitoring..

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of soluble growth stimulating expression gene 2 protein (sST2) combined with neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the prediction of nosocomial cardiovascular adverse events in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP) myocardial injury.Methods:Patients with ACOP myocardial injury from January 2017 to December 2019 in Emergency Ward and EICU of Harrson International Peace Hospital, Hebei Medical University were enrolled. NLR was calculated by routine blood examination on admission, and sST2 (T 0sST2, T 3dsST2) was detected by ELISA on admission and at 3 days after admission. According to the occurrence of cardiovascular adverse events, the patients were divided into the event group and the non-event group. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of in-hospital cardiovascular adverse events. ROC curve was used to analyze the value of sST2, NLR, sST2 and NLR combined in predicting the occurrence of in-hospital cardiovascular adverse events in patients with ACOP myocardial injury. Results:Totally 255 patients with ACOP myocardial injury were included in the final analysis. NLR was (13.38±4.33) in the event group and (9.57±4.22) in the non-event group, T 3dsST2 was (61.59±22.67) ng/mL in the event group and (40.52±13.14) ng/mL in the non-event group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.01). T 0sST2 was (265.34±89.95) ng/mL in the event group and (242.43±93.09) ng/mL in the non-event group, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.333). Logistic regression analysis showed that NLR ( OR=1.270, 95% CI: 1.125-1.434, P<0.01) and T 3dsST2 ( OR=1.082, 95% CI: 1.052-1.114, P<0.01) were independent risk factors for nosocomial cardiovascular adverse events in patients with ACOP myocardial injury. The optimal cutoff value of T 3dsST2 was 44.5 ng/mL, and of NLR was 12.08. The sensitivity and specificity of dual T 3dsST2 and NLR in predicting nosocomial cardiovascular adverse events was 79.3% and 82.7%, respectively (AUC 0.857, Youden index 0.620). Conclusions:T 3dsST2 and NLR are independent risk factors for the nosocomial cardiovascular adverse events in patients with ACOP myocardial injury. The predictive cutoff values are 44.5 ng/mL for T 3dsST2 and 12.08 for NLR. Combination of T 3dsST2 and NLR has a practical predictive value for nosocomial cardiovascular adverse events in patients with ACOP myocardial injury.

Objective:To investigate the predictive neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) combined with soluble growth stimulating expression gene 2 protein (sST2) on in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with myocardial injury following moderate-severe acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP).Methods:A single-cente prospective observational approach was conducted. Moderate-severe ACOP patients with myocardial damage from November 2016 to February 2020 in department of emergency medicine of Harrison International Peace Hospital Affiliated to Hebei Medical University were enrolled. The baseline data of the patients, NLR and sST2 (T0 sST2) on admission, sST2 at 3 days after admission (T3 d sST2), and the other myocardial injury and biochemical indicators were collected. According to whether MACE occurred, the patients were divided into MACE group and non-MACE group. The clinical data of the two groups were compared. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of each index. Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of in-hospital MACE in patients with moderate-severe ACOP myocardial injury. The receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn and area under ROC curve (AUC) was calculated to analyze the predictive value of NLR, sST2, and NLR combined with sST2 for the occurrence of in-hospital MACE in patients with moderate-severe ACOP myocardial injury.Results:A total of 278 patients with moderate-severe ACOP myocardial injury were included in the final analysis, and the incidence of MACE was 11.51% (32/278). Cardiac troponin I (cTnI), lactic acid (Lac), NLR, and T3 d sST2 in the MACE group were significantly higher than those in the non-MACE group [cTnI (μg/L): 0.83±0.15 vs. 0.46±0.37, Lac (mmol/L): 2.96±1.14 vs. 2.43±1.35, NLR: 13.14±4.37 vs. 9.49±4.21, T3 d sST2 (μg/L): 59.88±23.42 vs. 39.83±12.60, all P < 0.05], there was no significant difference in T0 sST2 between the MACE group and the non-MACE group (μg/L: 269.09±90.89 vs. 240.14±113.02, P > 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that there were significantly positive correlations in NLR with acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ), T3 d sST2 with APACHEⅡ, and NLR with T3 d sST2 ( r values were 0.226, 0.209, 0.193, all P < 0.01). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that T3 d sST2 and NLR were both independent risk factors for MACE in moderate-severe ACOP patients with myocardial injury [odds ratio ( OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) respectively was 1.064 (1.039-1.090), 1.176 (1.066-1.298), both P < 0.01]. ROC curve analysis showed that the predictive efficacy of NLR combined with T3 d sST2 for the occurrence of in-hospital MACE in patients with ACOP myocardial injury (AUC = 0.876) was better than that of NLR (AUC = 0.754) and T3 d sST2 (AUC = 0.813). When the optimal critical value of NLR was 10.02 and that of T3 d sST2 was 43.50 μg/L, the sensitivity of predicting the occurrence of MACE in patients with moderate-severe ACOP myocardial injury was 69.8% and 86.2% respectively, and the specificity was 74.3% and 70.4%, respectively. The specificity and sensitivity of the combined detection was 83.4% and 79.8%, respectively. Conclusions:NLR and T3 d sST2 were independent predictors of in-hospital MACE in moderate-severe ACOP patients with myocardial injury, and combined application of NLR and T3 d sST2 had good predictive value. For patients with moderate-severe ACOP myocardial injury with NLR > 10.02 and T3 d sST2 > 43.50 μg/L, the occurrence of in-hospital MACE should be alert.
