ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy and mechanisms of Sini San in the treatment of depression and liver injury based on gut microbiota. MethodsThirty-two male Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into a normal group， model group （M）， Sini San group （MS， 2.5 g·kg^-1）， and fluoxetine group （MF， 2 mg·kg^-1）. Except for the normal group， rats in the other three groups were subjected to chronic unpredictable mild stress （CUMS）. After 8 weeks， the open-field test and sucrose preference test were conducted. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect serum corticosterone （CORT）， adrenocorticotropic hormone （ACTH）， corticotropin-releasing factor （CRF）， lipopolysaccharide （LPS）， Zonulin， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， γ-aminobutyric acid （GABA） levels in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex， and brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） levels in the hippocampus. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect hippocampal BDNF mRNA expression. Serum alanine aminotransferase （ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） levels were measured using the ultraviolet lactate dehydrogenase method. The ultrastructure of the intestinal epithelium was observed by electron microscopy， and gut microbiota in rat feces were analyzed using 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the sucrose preference of rats in the model group was significantly reduced （P0.01）， whereas it was significantly increased in the Sini San group compared with the model group （P0.05）. Compared with the normal group， hippocampal GABA protein levels and BDNF mRNA expression in the model group were significantly decreased （P0.05）， and compared with the model group， both were significantly increased in the Sini San group （P0.05， P0.01）. Compared with the normal group， serum LPS and Zonulin levels in the model group were significantly increased （P0.05， P0.01）， and compared with the model group， Zonulin levels in the Sini San group were significantly decreased （P0.05）. No obvious changes were observed in the ultrastructure of the jejunal mucosa among groups. Compared with the normal group， widened and blurred tight junctions， sparse and shortened microvilli， and mitochondrial swelling with cristae disruption in epithelial cells were observed in the ileal and colonic mucosa of the model group， which were markedly improved in the Sini San and fluoxetine groups. The results of 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing showed that Sini San improved CUMS-induced dysbiosis of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria. Correlation analysis indicated that Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria were significantly correlated with depression-related indicators， liver function， and intestinal mucosal permeability. ConclusionSini San exerts antidepressant and hepatoprotective effects by improving Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria and inhibiting the increase in intestinal mucosal permeability in CUMS rats.

OBJECTIVE To construct a pharmaceutical care framework suitable for elderly individuals in nursing homes， so as to provide standardized content guidance for relevant practice. METHODS The initial items of pharmaceutical care content in n ursing homes were drafted through literature research and semi-structured interviews. Delphi method was used to conduct correspondence consultation among 38 experts from related fields in Xinjiang. The expert positive coefficient， authority coefficient， and Kendall’s W were calculated， and the analytic hierarchy process was employed to determine the weight of each item. After thorough discussion among the research team members， the pharmaceutical care framework suitable for elderly individuals provided by hospital pharmacists collaborating with nursing homes was finalized. RESULTS The questionnaire recovery rates for both rounds of expert correspondence consultation were 100%， with an authority coefficient ＞0.8 and Kendall’s W ranging between 0.153 and 0.185 （ P ＜0.001）. A total of 7 primary items and 31 secondary items were ultimately determined， with the consistency ratio of the item weights all being less than 0.1. Based on the integration of importance and feasibility， among the primary items， “assessment of pharmaceutical care needs” was assigned the highest weight. Among the secondary items， highly practical items such as “survey of pharmaceutical care needs”“guidance on usage and dosage”“methods for correctly reading drug package inserts”， and “self-management of common chronic diseases in the elderly” were assigned relatively high comprehensive weights. CONCLUSIONS The pharmaceutical care framework suitable for elderly individuals provided by hospital pharmacists collaborating with nursing homes， which was constructed based on the Delphi method， demonstrates good scientific validity and reliability， and can serve as a reference for pharmacists to provide pharmaceutical care in nursing homes.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of potentially inappropriate medication （PIM） among the elderly in nursing homes in Urumqi based on three PIM screening tools， and to compare the applicability of different tools. METHODS A cross-sectional study design was adopted. Elderly individuals from six nursing homes in Urumqi were selected as the research subjects from May 2021 to September 2023. Demographic characteristics， disease burden and medication records of the elderly were collected. PIM screening was performed using the Chinese PIM criteria （2024 edition）， the American Geriatrics Society （AGS） Beers criteria （2023 edition）， and the Screening Tool of Older Person’S Prescriptions（STOPP）/Screening Tool to Alert to Right Treatment（START） （2023 edition）. Fleiss’s Kappa test was used to assess the consistency among the three screening tools， and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of PIM. RESULTS The prevalence of PIM screened by the Chinese PIM criteria was 47.4% （323/682）， by the AGS Beers criteria was 43.4% （296/682）， and by the STOPP criteria was 50.9% （347/682）. The consistency among the three screening tools was low （Fleiss’s Kappa＝0.12， P ＜0.001）. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that all three screening tools indicated that polypharmacy， aspirin use and psychotropic drug use were independent risk factors for PIM among elderly in nursing houses （all OR＞1， P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of PIM among the elderly in nursing homes in Urumqi is relatively high. Polypharmacy， aspirin use and psychotropic drug use are common independent risk factors for PIM. There are differences in screening results among the three tools with low consistency. The Chinese PIM criteria can serve as a first-line tool for PIM screening in nursing homes.

Based on the theory of 'spleen governing the containment of blood' in The Classic of Difficult Issues （《难经》）， it is proposed that medication toxicity damaging the middle jiao （焦） and failure of the spleen to contain blood constitute the core pathogenesis of cancer therapy induced thrombocytopenia （CTIT）. It is believed that the anti-tumor drug toxicity directly hits middle jiao， leading to spleen qi depletion， impairment of transportation and transformation， and insufficiency of the source of blood production. Consequently， the vessels and collaterals are deprived of nourishment and become structurally damaged. Blood fails to be contained and stored within the vessels， resulting in extravasation beyond the vascular system. Persistent retention of drug toxicity may further cause stasis due to blood deviating from its normal pathway and gradually consume the essence. In view of this root deficiency with branch excess， it is proposed that the treatment should focus on fortifying spleen， boosting qi and containing blood， with the aim of restoring spleen and stomach transportation functions， repairing vascular damage， and recovering the spleen's blood-containing function. According to individual syndrome patterns， prescriptions may be supplemented with herbs that stabilize vessels and consolidate collaterals， remove stasis and promote regeneration， and replenish essence and nourish marrow， providing new perspectives for the prevention and treatment of CTIT with traditional Chinese medicine.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of modified Huanglian Wendantang on oxidative stress in metabolic syndrome. MethodsA total of 180 patients with metabolic syndrome treated in the outpatient clinics and wards of the First Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from October 2023 to May 2025 were enrolled in this study. According to the randomized numerical table method， the patients were assigned into two groups （90 cases）. The basic treatment of the two groups was the same， and the observation group was additionally treated with modified Huanglian Wendantang. The course of treatment was 3 months. The two groups were compared in terms of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） efficacy， obesity degree ［waist circumference （WC）， body mass index （BMI）， waist-to-hip ratio （WHR）， waist-to-height ratio （WHtR）］， blood pressure indicators ［systolic blood pressure （SBP） and diastolic blood pressure （DBP）］， lipids and glucose indicators ［total cholesterol （TC）， triglycerides （TG）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， fasting insulin （FINS）， fasting glucose （FPG）， 2-hour postprandial glucose （2 h PG）， and glycosylated hemoglobin （HbA1c）］， insulin resistance indicators ［homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance （HOMA-IR）， triglyceride-glucose index （TYG index）， triacylglycerol-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （TG/HDL） ratio］， oxidative stress indicators ［malondialdehyde （MDA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， glutathione （GSH）， glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px）， catalase （CAT）， and reactive oxygen species （ROS）］， and the safety of treatment. ResultsIn terms of TCM efficacy， the treatment in the observation group was significantly effective in 46 cases， effective in 30 cases， and ineffective in 10 cases， with the total effective rate of 88.4%. The treatment in the control group was significantly effective in 33 cases， effective in 28 cases， and ineffective in 23 cases， with the total effective rate of 72.6%. The observation group had higher total effective rate than the control group （χ²=11.26，P<0.05）. After treatment， both groups showed declined levels of WC， BMI， WHR， WHtR， SBP， DBP， TC， TG， LDL-C， FPG， FINS， 2 h PG， HbA1c， HOMA-IR， TG/HDL ratio， TYG index， MDA， and ROS and elevated levels of HDL-C， SOD， GSH， GSH-Px， and CAT （P<0.05）. After treatment， the observation group showed lower levels of WC， BMI， WHR， WHtR， TC， TG， LDL-C， FPG， FINS， 2 h PG， HbA1c， HOMA-IR， TG/HDL ratio， TYG index， MDA， and ROS and higher levels of HDL-C， SOD， GSH， GSH-Px， and CAT than the control group （P<0.05）. However， after treatment， there was no significant difference in SBP or DBP between the observation group and the control group. No significant adverse reactions were observed in either group. ConclusionModified Huanglian Wendantang can significantly alleviate metabolic syndrome symptoms and reduce oxidative stress， exhibiting antioxidant effects. Moreover， it does not induce adverse reactions， demonstrating safety.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of video-based educational intervention combined with maternal presence on perioperative adverse outcomes in preschool children undergoing general anesthesia， including cooperation in anesthesia induction， perioperative anxiety， pain and agitation during recovery. MethodsA total of 300 preschool children scheduled for general anesthesia in our hospital from June to December 2023 were randomly assigned to control group （n=150） and intervention group （n=150）. The control group received routine recovery care. For the intervention group， in addition to routine recovery care， a preoperative visit was scheduled one day before surgery. During this visit， mothers were guided to watch anesthesia videos with their children. During the waiting period in the operating room and 30 minutes after awakening， the mothers were guided to accompany the children for more than 30 minutes. Recovery conditions were recorded using the surgical anesthesia information system， and the children’s anesthetic induction compliance， perioperative anxiety， pain， and agitation were evaluated and recorded using the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale （m-YPAS）， the Induction Compliance Scale （ICC）， the Children’s Pain Behavior Scale （FLACC）， and the Pediatric Agitation and Emergence Delirium Scale （PAED）. ResultsOn the preoperative visit day， there were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups （P > 0.05）. For perioperative anxiety， the m-YPAS scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group， both when entering the operating room waiting area （35.27±6.48 vs. 41.79±6.68， P < 0.05） and 30 minutes after postoperative recovery （20.13±7.05 vs. 35.75±9.51， P < 0.05）. In terms of anesthesia induction cooperation， the ICC scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group （1.84±0.95 vs. 3.17±0.62， P < 0.05）， and the proportion of good induction cooperation was significantly higher than that of the control group （24.00% vs. 12.67%， P < 0.05）. There was no significant difference in awakening duration between the two groups， but the intervention group had a significantly shorter length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit than the control group （0.90±0.29 hours vs. 1.29±0.42 hours， P < 0.001）. For perioperative agitation， the PAED scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group （entering in the operating room waiting area： 8.5 vs. 9.2， P < 0.05； 30 minutes after postoperative recovery： 4.2 vs. 7.8， P < 0.05）. In terms of pain scores， the FLACC scores of the intervention group were also significantly lower than those of the control group， both when entering the operating room waiting area （ 5.3 vs. 6.7， P < 0.05； 30 minutes after postoperative recovery： 2.1 vs. 4.9， P < 0.05）. ConclusionsVideo-based educational intervention combined with maternal presence reduces the perioperative anxiety， pain and agitation of preschool children undergoing general anesthesia， and improved the compliance of anesthesia induction. It is recommended to promote this intervention measure in clinical practice.

Clinically,the incidence of portal vein thrombosis(PVT)in patients with cirrhosis can be up to 10％-23％.When PVT is not treated promptly,it may develop to cavernous transformation of the portal vein(CTPV).CTPV can aggravate portal hypertension,accelerate the progression of esophagogastric varices bleeding,refractory ascites,refractory peritonitis,biliary tract diseases,and hepatic insufficiency.At present,noninvasive imaging techniques such as portal vein reconstruction,enhanced CT and ultrasound are mostly used to make the diagnosis and evaluation of CTPV.It is rather difficult to perform portosystemic shunt surgery in patients with CTPV complicated by portal hypertension,which was once regarded as a contraindication for interventional portosystemic shunt procedures.With the improvement of related technologies and surgical instruments,the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS)has become an important treatment for CTPV.This paper aims to make a comprehensive review about the relevant researches concerning the portosystemic shunt surgery in patients with CTPV so as to clarify the importance of TIPS in the treatment of CTPV.

Objective To develop a method capable of real-time,rapid,and visual detection of MEs,providing a powerful tool for early diagnosis and assessment of diseases.Methods In this study,flake graphene oxide(2D GO)with excellent peroxidase-like activity(POD-like)was prepared by a modified Hummers'method,and a sensing strategy for the rapid visual detection of MEs was constructed by integrating colorimetry with a smartphone.Results 2D GO can catalyse the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)to produce highly oxidative hydroxyl radicals(·OH),which oxidize the colourless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB)into blue ox-TMB.The strong reducing effect of MEs on the"2D GO+TMB+H2O2"colorimetric sensing system enables rapid visual detection of MEs.Conclusion The colorimetric platform constructed based on 2D GO has a wide linear detection range(10-1 000 μmol/L)and a good detection limit(LOD<7 μM),and was successfully used for the determination of MEs in foetal bovine serum samples,with satisfactory recovery rates.
