Myocardial injury is a pathological change of myocardium caused by many factors,which can lead to the decline of cardiac function and the occurrence of cardiovascular events.Astragaloside Ⅳ is one of the main pharmacological components in Astragali Radix,which plays an anti-myocardial injury role by regulating various signaling pathways.This article reviewed the anti-myocardial injury mechanism of astragaloside Ⅳ from five aspects:inhibition of oxidative stress,inhibition of apoptosis,anti-myocardial fibrosis,improvement of myocardial energy metabolism and inhibition of myocardium inflammation,in order to provide reference for the mechanism research and clinical application of astragaloside Ⅳ in the prevention and treatment of myocardial injury.

Emphasizing symptom efficacy is an important manifestation of the personalized diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. However， in current clinical practice of TCM， there are challenges such as diverse symptom expressions， difficulty in standardization， inconsistent evaluation standards for symptom efficacy， lack of universal quantitative methods， and complexity in collecting complete and accurate symptom information. These issues hinder the full and effective utilization of symptom information. Addressing the current research status and existing problems of symptom terminology standardization， quantification and grading of symptom efficacy， and collection of symptom information， this paper proposes methodological strategies for effectively recording and utilizing TCM symptom efficacy information in the era of big data. These strategies include collecting TCM symptom information based on patient reporting， standardizing the evaluation of TCM symptom efficacy from measurement scales and evaluation dimensions， integrating TCM symptom efficacy evaluation into clinical diagnosis and treatment processes， and utilizing artificial intelligence technology to acquire and process TCM symptom efficacy information. TCM symptom efficacy evaluation strategies based on patient perspectives and artificial intelligence technology will help fully explore the value of data elements， promote the objective demonstration of the specific efficacy of TCM， and facilitate the discovery of effective patterns.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the changes in vasopressin(VP)level and disease severity and prognosis in patients with septic shock(SS).Methods A total of 96 patients with SS in the hospital from December 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the study group,and 95 healthy volun-teers in the hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.The plasma VP levels of the two groups were compared,and their correlation with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS)score,a-cute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)score,serum C-reactive protein(CRP),and procalcitonin(PCT)levels were analyzed.The study group received shock treatment,and was divided into a good prognosis group and a poor prognosis group based on the prognosis after 28 days of hospitalization.The clinical data of the two groups were compared.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting poor prognosis.A new prediction scheme and a conventional prediction scheme were con-structed,and the predictive efficacy of different prediction schemes was evaluated using area under the curve(AUC),net reclassification index and comprehensive discrimination improvement index.Results Compared with the control group,the plasma VP level in the study group was significantly decreased,and MODS score,APACHE Ⅱ score,the levels of serum CRP and PCT were significantly increased,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that plasma VP level was negatively correlated with MODS score,APACHE Ⅱ score,serum CRP and PCT level(r=-0.426,-0.519,-0.483,-0.395,P＜0.05).The proportion of diabetes mellitus,acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS),acute kidney injury(AKI),MODS score,APACHE Ⅱ score,serum CRP and PCT levels in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group,while the plasma VP level was lower than that in the good prognosis group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that concurrent ARDS,concurrent AKI,plasma VP,MODS score,APACHE Ⅱ score,serum CRP and PCT were all influential factors for poor prognosis of SS patients(P＜0.05).The AUC of plasma VP predicting poor prognosis of SS patients was 0.752,and the AUC of the new prediction scheme predicting poor prognosis of SS patients was greater than that of the conventional prediction scheme predicting poor prognosis of SS patients(P＜0.05).Conclu-sion Plasma VP level decrease in SS patients and closely relate to the severity of the condition.Based on the results of Logistic regression analysis,the new predictive model is established,which has certain predictive value for poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of Danhuangsan on high glucose-induced vascular endothelial cell injury based on PINK 1/Parkin signaling pathway,and to explore its specific mechanism.Methods Human um-bilical vein endothelial cells were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into control group,growth factor group,Danhuangsan group,high glucose group,high glucose+growth factor group,high glucose+Danhuangsan group,with 3 cases in each group,treated for 48 hours.Cell scratch test was used to detect cell migration rate,and Transwell test was used to detect cell invasion rate.Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2,Beclin-1 and pro-apoptotic protein Bax.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of PINK 1,Parkin and LC 3-Ⅱ.Results Cell scratch test and Transwell test showed that under normal environment and high glucose treatment,Danhuangsan could reduce the cell migration and invasion rate(P＜0.05).Immunofluorescence assay showed that under normal environment and high glucose treatment,Danhuang-san up-regulated the expression levels of Bcl-2 and Beclin-1 protein in cells(P＜0.05).Western blot results showed that under normal environment and high glucose treatment,Danhuangsan increased the protein expression levels of PINK 1,Parkin and LC 3-Ⅱ in cells and down-regulated the expression levels of Bax protein(P＜0.05),and the effects of Danhuang powder were significantly better than those of blank serum and growth factor(P＜0.05).Conclusion Danhuangsan can alleviate high glucose-induced endothelial cell injury by activating PINK 1/Parkin pathway,and the mechanism may be related to promoting mitophagy and enhancing the repair of damage.

ObjectiveTo compare the characteristics of adult and juvenile callers at high risk of suicide from psychological assistance hotline， to screen factors influencing the crisis intervention effect， so as to develop specific intervention programs for different age groups on psychological assistance hotline. MethodsFrom January 2021 to June 2021， a total of 2 229 callers at high risk for suicide were recruited from Beijing psychological assistance hotline. The selected individuals were divided into adult group （n=1 344） and juvenile group （n=885）. Callers were interviewed by the hotline operators. Their general information， suicidal ideation， socio-psychological characteristics and chief complaints were recorded and compared between two groups. Before and after hotline crisis interventions， psychological distress， suicidal ideation intensity and hope level of the callers were assessed， and the improvements in the three assessed dimensions were compared between two groups. Then Logistic regression was adopted to compare the crisis intervention effects on three dimensions and their associated factors. ResultsCompared with adult group， juvenile group reported higher rates of family relationship problems， learning problems， history of suicide attempts and fear of assault， with statistically significant differences （χ²=55.604， 24.706， 41.944， 106.527， P<0.01）. After hotline crisis intervention， the proportion of callers with increased level of hope was larger in juvenile group than that in adult group （42.74% vs. 30.97%， χ²=26.042， P<0.01）. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the chances of improvement in psychological distress for major depressive disorder （OR=0.650， 95% CI： 0.510~0.827）， the chances of improvement in the level of hope for those with substance dependents （OR=0.550， 95% CI： 0.327~0.926）， and the chances of improvement in the intensity of suicidal ideation for those with stressful life events （OR=0.565， 95% CI： 0.328~0.973） were all higher in juvenile group than those in adult group after crisis intervention. ConclusionAmong the callers at high risk for suicide from psychological assistance hotline， adult callers are more concerned about extra-familial relationships， work and economic problems， while juvenile callers are more concerned about family relationship and learning problems. Furthermore， the effect of crisis intervention in juvenile callers is less affected by major depressive disorder， substance use problems and stressful life events.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the risk factors of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with sepsis and to construct a risk nomogram model. METHODS: The clinical data of 234 sepsis patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Tianjin Hospital from January 2019 to May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into non-ARDS group (156 cases) and ARDS group (78 cases) according to the presence or absence of ARDS. The gender, age, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, smoking history, history of alcoholism, temperature, respiratory rate (RR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), pulmonary infection, white blood cell count (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), platelet count (PLT), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB), D-dimer, oxygenation index (PaO₂/FiO₂), lactic acid (Lac), procalcitonin (PCT), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), albumin (ALB), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of sepsis related ARDS. Based on the screened independent risk factors, a nomogram prediction model was constructed, and Bootstrap method was used for internal verification. The receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated to verify the prediction and accuracy of the model. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in gender, age, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, smoking history, alcoholism history, temperature, WBC, Hb, PLT, PT, APTT, FIB, PCT, BNP and SCr between the two groups. There were significant differences in RR, MAP, pulmonary infection, D-dimer, PaO₂/FiO₂, Lac, ALB, BUN, APACHE II score and SOFA score (all P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that increased RR, low MAP, pulmonary infection, high Lac and high APACHE II score were independent risk factors for sepsis related ARDS [RR: odds ratio (OR) = 1.167, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.019-1.336; MAP: OR = 0.962, 95%CI was 0.932-0.994; pulmonary infection: OR = 0.428, 95%CI was 0.189-0.966; Lac: OR = 1.684, 95%CI was 1.036-2.735; APACHE II score: OR = 1.577, 95%CI was 1.202-2.067; all P < 0.05]. Based on the above independent risk factors, a risk nomograph model was established to predict sepsis related ARDS (accuracy was 81.62%, sensitivity was 66.67%, specificity was 89.10%). The predicted values were basically consistent with the measured values, and the AUC was 0.866 (95%CI was 0.819-0.914). CONCLUSIONS Increased RR, low MAP, pulmonary infection, high Lac and high APACHE II score are independent risk factors for sepsis related ARDS. Establishment of a risk nomograph model based on these factors may guide to predict the risk of ARDS in sepsis patients.

AIM: To investigate the effect of low-dose aspirin on primary prevention of non-fatal myocardial and cerebral infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: From January 2015 to December 2016,40-90 years old patients with type 2 diabetes were treated in the Department of Endocrinology of Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College for more than 2 times (the interval of hospitalization was more than 3 months) , we use the hospital's his system to search out-patient and in-patient files, patients were divided into aspirin group and non-aspirin group according to the use of low-dose aspirin within 1 year after the first visit, the basic data of the first visit were collected: name, sex, age, course of diabetes, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, patients were recorded for laboratory markers including fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, triglyceride, total cholesterol, Low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, creatinine, and platelets, complications such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, hyperlipidemia, diabetic nephropathy and arteriosclerosis were recorded. A Chi square test and a Cox proportional hazard model were used to compare baseline data and cerebrovascular disease after the first use of aspirin. RESULTS: Of the 4 176 patients, 2 137 were type 2 diabetes, 417 were eligible for admission, including 198 males, 219 females, 224 aspirin users and 193 non-users. There was no significant difference in the incidence of cerebral infarction between the aspirin group and the non-aspirin group (χ2=0.820, P=0.365). The incidence of non-fatal myocardial infarction was lower than that of the aspirin non-aspirin group (χ2=10.099, P=0.01) , the incidence of massive hemorrhage was significantly higher than that of aspirin-free group χ2=5.425, P=0.020) . In a subgroup analysis of aspirin use, patients younger than 60 years of age had a lower incidence of ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction) and a risk ratio of 0.428 (95%CI: 0.255-0.719, P=0.001) compared with patients older than 60 years of age, the incidence of cerebral infarction was higher in female patients with a risk ratio of 1.574 (95%CI: 1.018-2.434, P=0.041). CONCLUSION: In this study of patients with type 2 diabetes, low-dose aspirin reduced the incidence of nonfatal myocardial infarction but had no significant effect on the incidence of nonfatal ischemic stroke, and significantly increase the incidence of major bleeding events, we should reconsider the use of low-dose aspirin as a potential benefit of nonfatal cerebral infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes.
