Objective:
To investigate the influencing factors for kinesiophobia among elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), so as to provide the reference for alleviating kinesiophobia among COPD patients.
Methods:
From December 2023 to July 2024, COPD patients aged 60 years and above who sought medical treatment at a tertiary grade-a hospital in Guiyang City were selected. Demographic information was collected through questionnaire surveys. Kinesiophobia, exercise self-efficacy, social support, type D personality and coping styles were assessed using the Chinese version of Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, the Chinese version of the Self-Efficacy for Exercise Scale, Social Support Rating Scale, Type D Personality Scale and Chinese version of the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, respectively. Factors affecting kinesiophobia among elderly patients with COPD were analyzed using a multiple linear regression model.
Results:
A total of 300 COPD patients were surveyed, including 238 males (79.33%) and 62 females (20.67%). The majority of patients had a disease duration of less than 5 years, with 130 cases (43.33%). The average kinesiophobia score was (48.01±7.74) points. The average exercise self-efficacy score was (3.39±1.01) points. The average social support score was (34.42±6.76) points. There were 280 patients (93.33%) with type D personality. The average scores of the confrontation, avoidance, and resignation dimensions of coping styles were (17.42±5.00), (13.76±1.91), and (11.81±2.95) points, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age (70-<80 years, β'=0.124; ≥80 years, β'=0.205), educational level (primary school and below, β'=0.228; junior high school, β'=0.182), household monthly income per capita (<3 000 yuan, β'=0.234; 3 000~<5 000 yuan, β'=0.165), social support (β'=0.294), type D personality (β'= 0.170), and coping styles (confrontation dimension, β'=-0.140; avoidance dimension, β'=0.154; resignation dimension, β'=0.175) statistically associated with kinesiophobia among elderly patients with COPD.
Conclusion
Kinesiophobia among elderly patients with COPD is associated with age, educational level, household monthly income per capita, social support, type D personality and coping styles.

By reviewing the ancient and modern literature, the name, origin, scientific name evolution, place of origin, quality, harvesting, processing, efficacy and toxicity of Asteris Radix et Rhizoma(ARR) were systematically sorted out, so as to provide reference for the development and utilization of the relevant famous classical formulas. According to textual research, ARR was first contained in Shennong Bencaojing, all generations are Ziwan for its proper name, and there are still aliases such as Ziyuan, Ziqian and Xiaobianer. Its mainstream origin in successive generations was Aster tataricus, and there are also Ligularia fischeri and others in local area of use. The medicinal parts of ARR are root and rhizome, but in modern times, the rhizome is mostly used for propagation and cultivation, so some of ARR medicinal materials only have the root without the rhizome. The earliest recorded ancient origin of ARR was now Fangxian(Hubei), Zhengding and Handan(Heibei), then the range of production areas gradually expanded, the mainstream production areas from the Song dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties included Hebei, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan and other places, since modern times, two major producing areas have been formed in Anguo, Hebei province and Bozhou, Anhui province. From the quality evaluation, it is clear that from ancient times, flexible roots and purple color are the best. The ancient harvesting was mainly in lunar February or March, and then dried in the shade, and the modern harvesting is mostly in spring and autumn, and the roots are braided into pigtails and then dried in the sun or dried in the sun after 1-2 d. The ancient and modern processing method of ARR are basically the same, mainly honey processing, there are still methods of frying, steaming, vinegar sizzling, etc. Based on the results, it is recommended that the dried roots and rhizomes of A. tataricus should be used in clinical and the development of related famous classical formulas, and those whose original formulas specify the processing requirements can be processed according to the relevant requirements, while whose processing requirements are not specified should be used in the form of raw products.

ObjectiveTo study the effect and mechanism of Xiangsha Liu Junzitang combined with phlegm-removing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine on immune escape in Lewis lung cancer mice. MethodA total of 60 specific-pathogen-free (SPF)-grade C57BL/6J male mice were injected subcutaneously with 0.2 mL of Lewis cell suspension (containing 2×106 cells·mL-1) in the right mid-axillary line. After 7 days, the mice that had been successfully modeled were randomly divided into six groups: the model group, the cisplatin group, the Xiangsha Liu Junzitang low-, medium-, and high-dose groups, and the combined group, with 10 mice in each group. The Xiangsha Liu Junzitang low-, medium- and high-dose groups were gavaged with 17.88, 35.75, 71.50 g·kg-1 Xiangsha Liu Junzitang solution once a day, respectively, and the dosage of cisplatin intraperitoneally injected into the mice was converted to 5 mg·kg-1 twice a week, and the tumour volumes of each group were measured every two days. The intervention lasted for 14 consecutive days. At the end of treatment, the tumour mass of mice in each group was weighed and the tumour inhibition rate was calculated. The morphological characteristics of tumours in each group were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Fluorescent quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) assay was used to detect messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) contents of the natural killer group 2 member D (NKG2D) receptor, ribonucleic acid export-1 (RAE-1), and γ interferon (IFN-γ) in the tumour tissues of each group. NKG2D, RAE-1, and IFN-γ mRNA in tumour tissues of each group. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot were applied to detect the expressions of RAE-1, NKG2D, and IFN-γ in tumour tissues of each group, and Western blot was used to detect the expressions of interleukin-6 (IL-6), Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), p-JAK2, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and p-STAT3 in tumour tissues of each group, as well as the protein levels of NKG2D, and RAE-1 in spleen tissues of each group. ResultCompared with that in the model group, the tumour mass decreased in all dose groups of Xiangsha Liu Junzitang, with no statistically significant difference. The tumour volume was reduced (P<0.05, P <0.01). The pathological morphology was improved. The mRNA contents of NKG2D, RAE-1 and IFN-γ were increased in the medium-dose group (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the protein expressions of NKG2D, RAE-1, and IFN-γ in tumour tissues were elevated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 protein expressions were decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). In spleen tissues, the protein expressions of NKG2D and RAE-1 in all dose groups of Xiangsha Liu Junzitang were significantly elevated (P<0.01). Compared with those in the cisplatin group, NKG2D, RAE-1 and IFN-γ mRNA contents were elevated in the middle-dose group of Xiangsha Liu Junzitang, and the difference was not statistically significant. IHC showed that the protein expressions of NKG2D and IFN-γ in the combined group were significantly elevated (P<0.01), and Western blot results showed that the protein expressions of RAE-1, NKG2D and IFN-γ were elevated (P<0.05, P<0.01). p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 protein expressions were decreased in the combined group (P<0.05, P<0.01). NKG2D and RAE-1 protein expressions were significantly increased in spleen tissues of the medium-dose groups and the combined group (P<0.01). ConclusionXiangsha Liu Junzitang combined with phlegm-removing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine can inhibit the growth of tumours in Lewis lung cancer mice by up-regulating the expressions of RAE-1/NKG2D, promoting the activation of NK cells, and inhibiting immune escape, the mechanism of which may be related to down-regulation of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

By consulting ancient and modern literature, the herbal textual research of Farfarae Flos has been conducted to verify the name, origin, producing area, quality evaluation, harvesting and processing methods, so as to provide reference for the development and utilization of the famous classical formulas containing Farfarae Flos. According to the research, the results showed that Farfarae Flos was first described as a medicinal material by the name of Kuandonghua in Shennong Bencaojing(《神农本草经》), and the name was used and justified by later generations. The main origin was the folwer buds of Tussilago farfara, in addition, the flower buds of Petasites japonicus were used as medicine in ancient times. The ancient harvesting time of Farfarae Flos was mostly in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, and the modern harvesting time is in December or before the ground freeze when the flower buds have not been excavated. Hebei, Gansu, Shaanxi are the authentic producing areas with the good quality products. Since modern times, its quality is summarized as big, fat, purple-red color, no pedicel is better. Processing method from soaking with licorice water in the Northern and Southern dynasties to stir-frying with honey water followed by micro-fire in the Ming dynasty, and gradually evolved to the modern mainstream processing method of honey processing. Based on the research results, it is suggested that the dried flower buds of T. farfara, a Compositae plant, should be selected for the development of famous classical formulas containing Farfarae Flos, and the corresponding processed products should be selected according to the specific processing requirements of the formulas, and raw products are recommended for medicinal use without indicating processing requirements.
