Based on the principle of "kidney suffers from dryness and can be moistened by pungent drugs", this article discussed the pathogenesis and treatment of chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP), and believed that this disease begins with deficiency of kidney qi, and dampness, blood stasis, cold, heat, and turbid toxin are the symptoms, which ultimately leads to the kidney's inability to transport fluids, and develops into "dryness of kidney". It suggested that the treatment of CKD-aP should be "using pungent drugs to moisten" as the core, according to the stage of development of the disease and the contradiction of the primary and secondary, respectively, the use of pungency-warm (heat) declination, pungent-cold (cool) declination of the treatment, to help to restore the normal transmission of fluid operation, qi and blood, and promote fluids to reduce dryness, so as to promote the recovery of the disease.

OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of modified Xianfang huoming decoction in the treatment of sepsis- induced liver injury from the perspective of gut microbiota and metabolites. METHODS Sixty SD rats were divided into blank group (normal saline), model group (normal saline), positive control drug group (Dexamethasone tablet, 5.0 mg/kg), modified Xianfang huoming decoction high-dose, middle-dose and low-dose groups (6.0, 3.0, 1.5 g/kg, calculated by crude drug) according to equilibrium-partitioning approach of body mass, with 10 rats in each group. They were given relevant drug/normal saline 10 mL/ kg, once a day, for consecutive 14 days. After the last medication, except for blank group, other groups were given intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide 10 mg/kg to induce sepsis model. Twelve hours after modeling, serum levels of inflammatory indexes in rats [interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] and liver function indicators [total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT)] were detected. The changes of gut microbiota and liver metabolites in rats were analyzed by 16S rRNA technology and liver metabolomics. RESULTS Modified Xianfang huoming decoction could significantly improve the indexes of serum inflammatory indexes and liver function in rats with sepsis-induced liver injury (P<0.05 or P<0.01); there was a significant callback effect on the relative abundance of 11 genera of bacteria (such as Akkermansia, Lactobacillus and Bilophila) among the 5 dominant phyla(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Twelve metabolites related to liver injury caused by sepsis were identified, such as glycine cholic acid, phosphatidylcholine, taurine (P<0.05 or P<0.01), mainly involving glycerol phospholipid metabolism, purine metabolism and primary bile acid metabolism. CONC LUSIONS Modified Xianfang huoming decoction can improve liver injury induced by sepsis by regulating gut microbiota and liver metabolites.

Objective:To study the short-term clinical outcomes of different courses of antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) for preterm twins.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2021, preterm twins with gestational age (GA) 24-34 weeks admitted to the neonatal ward of our hospital and received ACS were retrospectively studied. The infants were assigned into single-course group, partial-course group and multiple-course group according to ACS courses. The short-term clinical outcomes were compared among the groups. SPSS software version 25.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 286 infants were enrolled in this study, including 128 in single-course group, 89 in partial-course group and 69 in multiple-course group. Compared with single-course group, the risks of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in both partial-course group ( OR=2.332, 95% CI 1.028-5.293, P=0.043) and multiple-course group ( OR=3.872, 95% CI 1.104-13.584, P=0.034) were higher. The birth length in multiple-course group ( β=-0.016, 95% CI -0.029 - -0.002, P=0.024) was lower than single-course group. Conclusions:The risks of neonatal RDS in preterm twins are higher in partial-course and multiple-course of ACS. A full course of ACS should be used to prevent neonatal RDS until further evidence of effectiveness is available.

Objective:To investigate the influential factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with subchorionic hematoma.Methods:A total of 101 women with subchorionic hematoma who received treatment in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2017 to June 2020 were included in this study. They were divided into a control group and an adverse pregnancy outcome group according to whether there was an adverse pregnancy outcome. The epidemiological characteristics, hematoma characteristics observed on ultrasound images, and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the number of women who used assisted reproductive technology between the control and adverse pregnancy outcome groups [6 (8.0%) vs. 8 (30.7%), χ2 = 8.38, P = 0.004]. There was a significant difference in hematoma volume between adverse pregnancy outcome and control groups [(4.12 ± 0.61) mL vs. (6.36 ± 0.87) mL, t = 6.73, P = 0.009]. There was a significant difference in the number of patients who had obstetric complications between control and adverse pregnancy outcome groups [11 (14.7%) vs. 16 (61.5%), χ2 = 21.66, P = 0.001]. There was a significant difference in the number of patients who had hematomas located at the edge of the placenta between the control and adverse pregnancy outcome groups [15 (20.0%) vs. 12 (46.2%), χ2 = -4.81, P = 0.001]. Conclusion:Women who use assisted reproductive technology for pregnancy, have obstetric complications, or have a subchorionic hematoma with hematoma at the edge of the placenta are more likely to experience a miscarriage. Therefore, women of childbearing age should actively treat the primary disease and be alert to the occurrence of placental abruption.

Objective:
To investigate the correlation between takeout food consumption and overweight and obesity among college students in Jiangxi Province, and to provide a scientific basis for overweight and obesity prevention and control among college students and standardizing and managing the present situation of takeout food.
Methods:
From May to June 2018, 2610 college students were randomly selected from a university in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province. The Chi-square and binary Logistic regression were used to analyze the influences of frequency and type of takeout food consumption on overweight and obesity in college students.
Results:
The prevalence of overweight and obesity among male students (7.7%) was significantly higher than that among female students (4.1%) (χ2=12.02,P<0.01), and the prevalence of overweight and obesity among college students was statistically significant (χ2=12.54, P<0.01). The prevalence of overweight and obesity (8.8%) among college students from relatively wealthy families was higher than that of other groups. College students who ordered takeout and fast food were 1.8 times more overweight and 1.59 times more obese.
Conclusion
Regular consumption of takeout food and the type of takeout food, such as "Fast Food Bento", increased the risk of overweight and obesity. Improved healthy takeout food awareness and appropriate practices should be strengthened.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of antibiotics combined with recombinant tuberculosis vaccine AEC/BC02 on Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in guinea pigs. Methods Two weeks after guinea pigs were challenged subcutaneously with a high dose of Mycobacterium tuberculosis,the guinea pigs with the positive skin test responses to the recombinant ESAT6-CFP10 allergen were randomly di-vided into four groups:normal saline (NS),AEC/BC02,antibiotics and antibiotics+AEC/BC02. In antibiotics+AEC/BC02 group,guinea pigs firstly received isoniazid ( INH) and rifapentine ( RFT) treatment once a week for a total of three times,and then were immunized with a single dose of AEC/BC02 vaccine six times at 10-day intervals. Guinea pigs in AEC/BC02 and antibiotics groups were respectively vaccinated with AEC/BC02 vaccine and given INH and RFT treatment at the same dose and frequency as given to antibiotics+ AEC/BC02 group. Thirteen weeks after challenge,all guinea pigs were sacrificed for necropsy. Results The gross pathological scores of NS,AEC/BC02,antibiotics and antibiotics+AEC/BC02 groups were 83±8,77± 22,45±28 and 19±14,respectively. Antibiotics+AEC/BC02 group had a significantly lower gross pathological score than antibiotics,AEC/BC02 and NS groups (P<0. 05,P<0. 01,P<0. 01,respectively). Moreover,the gross pathological scores of antibiotics and AEC/BC02 groups were significantly decreased as compared with that of NS group (both P<0. 01). However,there was no significant difference between AEC/BC02 and NS groups. The spleen bacterial load of antibiotics+AEC/BC02 group was (2. 50±1. 26) lg CFU,which was sig-nificantly lower than those of NS [(4. 92+0. 52) lg CFU],AEC/BC02 [(4. 78+0. 84) lg CFU] and antibi-otics [(4. 39+0. 50) lg CFU] groups (P<0. 01). Compared with NS group,antibiotic and AEC/BC02 groups showed no significant difference in spleen bacterial load. Histopathological changes indicated different levels of granulomatous lesions appeared in lung tissues of all groups and the most severe change was ob-served in AEC/BC02 group,followed by that in NS,antibiotics and antibiotics+AEC/BC02 groups. Conclu-sion INH and RFT treatment in combination with AEC/BC02 vaccine in the treatment of guinea pigs with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection was superior to either treatment alone as it significantly alleviated organ lesions and lowered the bacterial loads in spleen and lung.
