Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability among adults in China, and its common complications include digestive system abnormalities, cognitive impairment, depression, stroke-associated pneumonia, and hemiplegia. The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has great potential in treating post-stroke complications. Xinglou Chengqitang (XLCQT) is a representative prescription of alleviating the disease in the upper part by treating the lower part. It has definite therapeutic effect and high safety. Clinically, XLCQT is often used to treat stroke and its complications. However, the quantity and quality of clinical trials of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications need to be improved. Additionally, since the basic research is weak, the material basis and multi-target mechanism for the efficacy of this prescription are unknown. This article reviews XLCQT in terms of the pharmacodynamic basis, medicinal properties, safety evaluation, and progress in clinical research and mechanisms in treating post-stroke complications. This article summarizes 22 key active ingredients of XLCQT in treating acute stroke complicated with syndrome of phlegm heat and fu-organ excess. Among these key active ingredients, resveratrol, kaempferol, luteolin, chrysoeriol, apigenin, (+)-catechin, and adenosine have good pharmacokinetic properties and high bioavailability. The mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications are complex, including inflammatory response, brain-gut axis, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, intestinal flora, neurotrophic factors, autophagy, oxidative stress, and free radical damage. This review helps to deeply understand the pharmacodynamic basis and mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications and provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of XLCQT against post-stroke complications and the development of drugs.

Objective:
To investigate trends of incidence, mortality, and years of life lost (YLL) rate of lung cancer in cancer registration areas of Guizhou Province from 2017 to 2021, so as to provide references for formulating lung cancer prevention and control strategies and reducing the disease burden of lung cancer.
Methods:
The qualified lung cancer registration data from cancer registration areas of Guizhou Province from 2017 to 2021 were collected, the crude incidence and mortality of lung cancer were calculated by urban/rural areas, genders and ages. The standardized incidence and standardized mortality was calculated using the age structure of the standard population from the Fifth National Population Census in 2000. YLL was calculated using the standard life table from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. The disease burden of lung cancer was assessed using incidence, mortality, and YLL rate, and the trend in the disease burden of lung cancer from 2017 to 2021 was calculated using annual percent change (APC).
Results :
From 2017 to 2021, the crude incidence, standardized incidence, crude mortality, standardized mortality, YLL and YLL rate in Guizhou Province were 53.13/100 000, 37.58/100 000, 42.77/100 000, 29.44/100 000, 98.19 thousand person-years and 10.95‰, respectively. The standardized incidence and standardized mortality of lung cancer were higher in rural areas than in urban areas (39.45/100 000 vs. 34.23/100 000, 30.68/100 000 vs. 27.18/100 000). The standardized incidence and standardized mortality of lung cancer were higher in males than in females (49.34/100 000 vs. 26.47/100 000, 41.31/100 000 vs. 18.28/100 000). The crude incidence and crude mortality of lung cancer increased with age, peaking in the 80-<85 age group (360.84/100 000) and the ≥85 age group (414.85/100 000), respectively. From 2017 to 2021, the standardized incidence demonstrated downward trends in the total population, urban areas and males (APC=-6.590%, -5.829%, and -6.729%, all P<0.05). The standardized mortality demonstrated downward trends in urban areas and females (APC=-3.710% and -5.378%, both P<0.05). The YLL rate also showed downward trends in urban areas and females (APC=-3.957% and -3.631%, both P<0.05).
Conclusions
From 2017 to 2021, the overall disease burden of lung cancer in registration areas of Guizhou Province showed a decreasing trend. However, the disease burden remained relatively heavier in rural areas and males, with a relatively gradual change.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of the multidisciplinary team (MDT) management model in improving the prognosis of patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension. MethodsA total of 86 patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension who were admitted to Shenzhen Third People’s Hospital from May 2022 to July 2024 were enrolled, and according to whether the MDT treatment regimen was implemented, they were divided into execution group with 51 patients and non-execution group with 35 patients. Baseline clinical data were collected, and the patients were observed in terms of gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, liver cancer, and death from admission to the end of follow-up (January 2025). The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves for the cumulative incidence rates of endpoint events (gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, liver cancer, and death), and the Log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. The Cox proportional-hazards regression model analysis was used to investigate the effect of MDT management on the prognosis of patients. ResultsThere were significant differences between the execution group and the non-execution group in diameter of the portal vein (t=1.216, P=0.017) and ascites (χ2=4.515, P=0.034) at baseline. The patients were followed up for 14.6±6.2 months, and the survival curve analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the cumulative incidence rate of gastrointestinal bleeding between the two groups (χ2=4.573, P=0.024), while there were no significant differences in the incidence rates of other outcome events between the two groups (all P>0.05). The Cox regression analysis showed that the execution group had a reduced risk of gastrointestinal bleeding (hazard ratio=0.262, 95% confidence interval: 0.110 — 0.630, P=0.003). ConclusionImplementation of the MDT treatment regimen can significantly reduce the short-term risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension, while its long-term benefits require further follow-up verification.

Objective:To analyze the fail mode of neoadjuvant therapy combined with surgery for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after long-term follow-up.Methods:Clinical data of consecutive 238 patients with locally advanced resectable ESCC who underwent neoadjuvant therapy combined with surgery in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from September 2012 to October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The failure mode in the whole cohort was analyzed after long-term follow-up. The overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) rates were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method. Survival differences were determined by log-rank test.Results:The pathological complete response (pCR) rate was 42.0% in 238 patients. After a median follow-up of 46.1 months, tumor progression occurred in 96 patients (40.3%), including 25 patients (10.5%) with local recurrence, 61 patients (25.6%) with distant metastases, and 10 patients (4.2%) with simultaneous local recurrence and distant metastases. The median OS and DFS were 64.7 months and 49.9 months. And the 3-, 5-, and 7-year OS and DFS rates were 70.0%, 52.8%, 36.4% and 63.5%, 42.5%, and 30.0%, respectively. The 3-, 5-, and 7-year locoregional recurrence-free survival rates and distant metastasis-free survival rates were 86.0%, 71.4%, 61.2% and 70.6%, 55.9%, 43.0%. Compared with non-pCR patients, the overall progression rate and distant metastasis rate of pCR patients were lower (26.0% vs. 50.7%, 16.0% vs. 32.6%, both P<0.05). And the 3-, 5-, and 7-year OS (83.0% vs. 60.2%, 69.7% vs. 41.7%, 50.4% vs. 27.7%, all P<0.001) and DFS rates (80.4% vs. 51.4%, 63.9% vs. 31.2%, 45.9% vs. 20.3%, all P<0.001) were significantly better in pCR patients. Conclusions:Distant metastasis is the main failure mode of patients with locally advanced ESCC after neoadjuvant therapy. Patients with postoperative pCR can achieve better long-term survival.

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes of intestinal microbiota in type 2 diabetic diarrhea (T2DD) patients with dampness-heat syndrome and spleen-kidney deficiency syndrome. MethodT2DD patients who were admitted to the Department of Endocrinology Ⅰ of the Affiliated Hospital of Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine from March 2020 to May 2021 were selected, including 14 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 12 T2DD patients with dampness-heat syndrome, and 13 T2DD patients with spleen-kidney deficiency syndrome. Twelve healthy subjects receiving medical examination were selected as control group. Their body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2 h postprandial blood glucose (2 h PBG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were compared. Fecal samples were collected for DNA extraction to build a database. High-throughput 16S rDNA sequencing was used to compare the composition of intestinal microbiota and the differential bacteria among the four groups. ResultCompared with the conditions in control group, the levels of FPG, 2 h PBG and HbA1c in the other groups were increased (P<0.05). Alpha diversity showed no significant difference in species richness, evenness and diversity of intestinal microbiota among the groups. Beta diversity indicated that intestinal microbiota tended to be consistent in each group, and there was no marked difference between groups. The top 5 phylum by relative abundance were Bacteroidetes,Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Fusobacteria, among which,Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were dominant. Compared with the control group, the three diabetic groups had elevated relative abundance of Bacteroidetes while decreased relative abundance of Firmicutes. The relative abundance of Actinomycetes in spleen-kidney deficiency T2DD group was significantly higher than that in the other groups, and the relative abundance of Firmicutes and Fusobacteria in the dampness-heat T2DD group was significantly lower than that in the other groups. At the genus level, the top 10 bacteria by relative abundance were Phocaeicola, Bacteroides, Pseudescherichia, Prevotella, Bifidobacterium, Faecalibacterium, Fusobacterium, Roseburia, Citrobacter, and Cetobacterium. LEfSe analysis revealed that the relative abundance of Prevotella, Mediterraneibacter, Parabacteroides, and Fusicatenibacter in diabetic patients was remarkably higher than that in healthy patients. Bacteroides and Sutterella might be the characteristic microbiota of T2DD patients with dampness-heat syndrome, while Faecalibacterium, Limosilactobacillus, Eubacterium, Gemmiger, Enterocloster, Alistipes, Parasutterella and Oscillibacter might be the characteristic microbiota of T2DD patients with spleen-kidney deficiency syndrome. ConclusionBacteroides and Parasutterella might be the characteristic microbiota of T2DD patients with dampness-heat syndrome and spleen-kidney deficiency syndrome, respectively. This paper provided reference for studying the mechanism, diagnosis and treatment of modern traditional Chinese medicine for T2DD of dampness-heat type and spleen-kidney deficiency type.

Objective:To investigate the level of rumination and its influential factors among Chinese psychiatry nurses who go through work place violence.Methods:In this study, 150 psychiatry nurses were recruited from Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University (specialize in psychiatry), via the combination of convenient sampling and snowball sampling. Chinese Event-related Rumination Inventory (C-ERRI) was applied in the survey.Results:The total score of C-ERRI was (22.11±9.62) points, and the scores of intrusive rumination subscale and deliberate rumination subscale were (12.99±5.58) and (9.12±6.01) points, respectively. Multiple Linear Regression Analysis show that assault frequency in recent year ( B=-3.195, P<0.01) and whether got injury in the recent assault ( B=8.591, P<0.01) were predictors of deliberate rumination, which account for 26.8% variance of the equation. Gender (male) ( B=-2.415, P<0.01), Injury frequency in recent year ( B=2.864, P<0.01) and whether got injury in the recent assault ( B=8.949, P<0.01) were predictors of intrusive rumination. They account for 36.0% variance of the equation. Conclusion:In this study, the level of rumination among Chinese psychiatry nurses was low. Their rumination style was deliberate rumination.

Objective:To explore an effective prevention and control protocol of cockroach in aircraft based on integrated pest management (IPM) concept.Methods:① The current protocol of cockroach control in aircraft was improved based on the study of cockroach invasion in aircraft and the characteristics of flight operation and the IPM prevention and control protocol was proposed for deeply cleaning and killing cockroach at aircraft maintenance stage, the monitoring and controlling during flight operation and managing cockroach invasion in aircraft. ② The selected insecticide was tested for airworthiness and safety in accordance with AMS 1450A Aerospace material specification: disinsectant (insecticide), aircraft that issued by Society of Automotive Engineers. ③ Forty aircraft were randomly and averagely divided into 2 groups. One group was treated with the IPM cockroach control protocol as IPM group and the other group was treated with the current routine method as the control group. The density of cockroaches in 2 groups had been monitored for 12 months according to SN 1553 Codes of Surveillance for Vector-bonds in Entry-exit Aircraft. The infestation rate and infestation density index of the cockroaches in aircraft were compared between 2 groups to evaluate the control effect. Results:Field trials showed that the cockroach infestation rate of 2 groups was 80.0% and 75.0% respectively and the cockroach density index M ( P25, P75) was 8.0 (2.0,24.0) and 8.0 (2.0,23.0) respectively before treatment. There was no statistical difference between IPM group and control group ( P>0.05). By treatment, the cockroach infestation rate in IPM group was 1.2% and cockroach density index M ( P25, P75) was 0.00 (0.0, 0.1) while the cockroach infestation rate in control group was 16.6%, and the density index of cockroach M ( P25, P75) was 2.5 (0.0, 5.3). Statistical analysis showed that the density and infestation rate of cockroaches were significantly different between 2 groups ( P<0.01). The airworthiness tests showed that the selected insecticides fulfilled the requirements of AMS 1450A. Conclusions:The IPM control protocol can effectively control the infestation of cockroaches in aircraft and reduce the risk of vector transmission. The cockroach insecticides used in the protocol meet the airworthiness standards and can be safely used to prevent and control the infestation of cockroaches in aircraft.
