ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xiaoji Hufei Formula in protecting children with close contact exposure to influenza， and to provide reference and evidence-based support for better clinical prevention and treatment of influenza in children. MethodsA multicenter， prospective， non-randomized， parallel， controlled trial was conducted from October 2021 to May 2022 in five hospitals， including Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Confirmed influenza cases and influenza-like illness （ILI） cases were collected， and eligible children with close contact exposure to these cases were recruited in the outpatient clinics. According to whether the enrolled close contacts were willing to take Xiaoji Hufei formula for influenza prevention， they were assigned to the observation group （108 cases） or the control group （108 cases）. Follow-up visits were conducted on days 7 and 14 after enrollment. The primary outcomes were the incidence of ILI and the rate of laboratory-confirmed influenza. Secondary outcomes included traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom score scale for influenza， influenza-related emergency （outpatient） visit rate， influenza hospitalization rate， and time to onset after exposure to influenza cases. ResultsA total of 216 participants were enrolled， with 108 in the observation group and 108 in the control group. Primary outcomes： （1） Incidence of ILI： The incidence was 12.0% （13/108） in the observation group and 23.1% （25/108） in the control group， with the observation group showing a significantly lower incidence （χ²=4.6， P<0.05）. （2） Influenza confirmation rate： 3.7% （4/108） in the observation group and 4.6% （5/108） in the control group， with no statistically significant difference. Secondary outcomes： （1） TCM symptom score scale： after onset， nasal congestion and runny nose scores differed significantly between the two groups （P<0.05）， while other symptoms such as fever， sore throat， and cough showed no significant differences. （2） Influenza-related emergency （outpatient） visit rate： 84.6% （11 cases） in the observation group and 96.0% （24 cases） in the control group， with no significant difference. （3） Time to onset after exposure： The median onset time after exposure to index patients was 7 days in the observation group and 4 days in the control group， with a statistically significant difference （P<0.05）. ConclusionIn previously healthy children exposed to infectious influenza cases under unprotected conditions， Xiaoji Hufei formula prophylaxis significantly reduced the incidence of ILI. Xiaoji Hufei Formula can be recommended as a specific preventive prescription for influenza in children.

【Objective】 To explore the factors influencing erectile dysfunction (ED) in male patients after renal transplantation, so as to provide basis for the prevention and treatment of this disease. 【Methods】 Kidney transplant recipients followed up in the Kidney Transplant Clinic of Xijing Hospital during Sep.1, 2022 and May 1, 2023 were selected as the study objects.Questionnaires were distributed, and the erectile function was measured with Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM).Factors associated with ED were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression. 【Results】 A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed, and 276 valid ones were collected, including 182 cases (65.9%) suffering from ED of varying degrees.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age [(<30 years/>50 years, OR: 0.120, 95%CI: 0.033-0.405, P<0.001), (30-40 years/>50 years, OR: 0.223, 95%CI: 0.102-0.463, P<0.001), (>40-50 years/>50 years, OR: 0.320, 95%CI: 0.139-0.719, P<0.01)], level of International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) (OR: 1.95, 95%CI: 1.211-3.248, P<0.01), International Prostate Symptom Score-Quality of Life item (IPSS-QoL) (OR: 1.482, 95%CI: 1.201-1.854, P<0.01), and income [(≥10 000 Yuan/<3 000 Yuan, OR: 0.156, 95%CI: 0.053-0.429, P<0.001), (5 000-<10 000 Yuan/<3 000 Yuan, OR: 0.418, 95%CI: 0.199-0.864, P<0.05), (≥10 000 Yuan/3 000-<5 000 Yuan, OR: 0.205, 95%CI: 0.069-0.573, P<0.01)] were independent and significant factors of ED. 【Conclusion】 The prevalence of ED in renal transplantation recipients is high.Age, income, IPSS and IPSS-QoL are the influencing factors.ED after renal transplantation is not only determined by physical and functional factors, but also closely related to social and psychological factors.

Background Grassroots medical and health personnel are an important component of China's public health system, and guaranteeing their physical and mental health will have a profound impact on the development of China's health service. Objective To identify potential influencing factors of occupational stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia as well as their interactions. Methods In August 2021, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among all the staff (2675 medical and health personnel) at 7 secondary public hospitals and 8 health institutions in Xiong’an New Area of Hebei Province by cluster sampling. Occupational stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia were evaluated by the Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire (ERI), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS). The bnlearn and gmodels packages of R4.2.1 software were used to construct Bayesian networks on work and personal factors-occupational stress- health effects. The Bayesian network model was visualized by Netica32.0. Results Among the 3018 questionnaires distributed, a total of 2675 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 88.63%. The positive rates of occupational stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia were 51.48%, 62.13%, 62.50%, and 56.37%, respectively in the grassroots medical and health personnel. The positive rate of occupational stress among the medical and health workers varied by age, educational level, and organization type (P<0.05); the positive rate of anxiety varied by age, marital status, and daily working hours (P<0.05); and the positive rates of depression and insomnia varied by gender, educational level, and overcommitment (P<0.05). The final Bayesian network contained 14 nodes and 18 directed edges, and its prediction accuracy was 85.4%. .Job title, daily working hours, overcommitment and exercise directly associated with occupational stress, and other work and personal factors associated with occupational stress indirectly. Occupational stress associated with insomnia directly or indirectly via anxiety. Anxiety and insomnia associated with reporting depression. Conclusion Grassroots medical and health personnel of Xiong'an New Area, Hebei Province report high levels of occupational stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Occupational stress directly or indirectly associates with anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Work and personal factors associate with occupational stress, and associate with anxiety, depression, and insomnia via occupational stress. Occupational stress may be an early warning factor of general work and personal factors affecting anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other mental health problems. Attention should be paid to the assessment and intervention of occupational stress in medical and health personnel to prevent mental health problems.

Background and objective Different degrees of self-transcendence exist in lung cancer patients,which can stimulate patients'self-awareness and promote them to face negative events in life positively,thus improving pa-tients'quality of life and treatment outcomes.However,there are few reports on self-transcendence in lung cancer patients in China,and the related influencing factors have not yet been clarified.This study aims to investigate the current situation of self-transcendence in lung cancer patients and explore its risk factors,so as to provide a theoretical basis for clinical intervention decision-making.Methods 243 lung cancer patients who were admitted to the Department of Lung Cancer Center of West China Hospital,Sichuan University from September 2023 to February 2024 were enrolled as the study subjects;general infor-mation questionnaire,self-transcendence scale,Herth hope scale and social support scale were used for the investigation.The influencing factors related to self-transcendence of lung cancer patients were analyzed.Results The total mean score of self-transcendence in lung cancer patients was(44.73±8.94);the total mean score of hope level was(37.60±4.98),and the total mean score of social support was(41.31±7.27).Self-transcendence was positively correlated with hope level and social support(P＜0.001,P＜0.001).Education,hope level and social support were influencing factors of self-transcendence in lung cancer pa-tients(P＜0.05,P＜0.001,P＜0.05).Conclusion Self-transcendence in lung cancer patients was at a low level and was influenced by hope level and social support.Healthcare professionals should pay attention to improving the hope level of lung cancer pa-tients,carrying out targeted psychological interventions,and at the same time guiding them to enhance the perception of social support,so as to promote the realization of self-transcendence in patients.

Coronary microcirculation disorder after myocardial ischemia reperfusion （MIR） is a prominent problem in the treatment of coronary heart disease. According to the physiological commonality between “collaterals-sweat pore qi and fluid” and coronary microcirculation， and the evolution of the course of MIR， it is believed that “heart collateral stasis obstruction， sweat pore constraint and block” is the cause of coronary microcirculation disorder. The evolution of the pathogenesis can be divided into three periods. During the myocardial ischemia period， the pathogenesis is heart collaterals obstruction and sweat pores empty， while during the ischemia reperfusion period， it is internal formulation of deficiency wind， spasms of collaterals or slight heart collaterals obstruction； in the coronary microcirculation disorder period， sweat pores constraint and block， constraint transforming into heat， qi and fluid failing to diffuse are the pathogenesis. The corresponding treatment principle is assisting dredge with supplementation， and supplementing deficiency to dispel stasis； treating wind and blood simultaneously， and extinguishing wind to arrest convulsion； clearing heat and cooling blood， and diffusing qi and unblocking qi and fluid. Moreover， it is recommended to treat the heart and lungs simultaneously， and regulate the heart and liver at the same time.

AIM: To investigate the efficacy and safety of 577nm subthreshold micropulse laser(SML)in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy(CSC).METHODS: Prospective single-arm case study. There were 24 patients(32 eyes)with chronic CSC treated by using 577nm SML. A total of 6mo was followed up after treatment, the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA, LogMAR)and optic coherence tomography(OCT)were performed at each month. Fluorescein fundus angiography(FFA)was performed at 1,3 and 6mo after treatment.RESULTS: The BCVA was 0.46±0.34 and central retinal thickness(CRT)was 259.15±57.54μm of 32 eyes at baseline period. After treatment of SML at 1mo, there was no subretinal fluid in 21 eyes(66%), and subretinal fluid was observed in 11 eyes(34%). The BCVA was 0.43±0.27, the CRT was 232.13±42.58μm. CRT was significantly reduced compared to the baseline period(P<0.05). After treatment of SML at 3mo, subretinal fluid and fluorescein leakage from retinal pigment epithelium(RPE)were observed in 5 eyes(16%). The BCVA was 0.39±0.26 and CRT was 231.26±49.25μm. The CRT was still significantly lower than baseline period(P<0.05). The 5 eyes with subretinal fluid and leaked fluorescein were treated by using SML again. After treatment at 6mo, subretinal fluid was observed in only 3 eyes(9%). The BCVA was 0.19±0.47 and CRT was 217.25±35.54μm. Both of the BCVA and CRT showed a significant improvement from the baseline period(P<0.05). CONCLUSION:SML seems effective and safe for treatment of chronic CSC. It may be an alternative way for treatment of chronic CSC.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Kuntai Capsules in the treatment of perimenopausal syndrome. Systematic reviews on Kuntai Capsules in the treatment of perimenopausal syndrome were retrieved from Chinese and English databases from database establishment to August 31, 2020. AMSTER-2 scale, GRADE scale and ROBIS tools were used respectively to evaluate the methodological quality, evidence quality level and bias risk of the finally included systematic reviews. A total of 6 systematic reviews with 28 outcome indicators were included. The results of AMSTER-2 methodological quality assessment showed that one of the six systematic reviews was of low quality, and the other five were of extremely low quality. GRADE scale showed that 28 clinical outcome indicators were evaluated, three of which were intermediate-level ones, and the rest were low-level or very low-level ones. Two evidences of the three intermediate evidences were total efficiency, and the other intermediate evidence was Kupperman score. ROBIS bias risk assessment showed all the included studies were of high risk. The results showed that, Kuntai Capsules were effective in the treatment of perimenopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and sweating. The improvement of E_2 level was not as good as that in the menopause hormone therapy group, but the incidence of adverse reactions was lower than that in the menopause hormone therapy group. However, the quality of evidence needs to be improved due to the low quality of methodology and high risk of bias. It is suggested that systematic review and reasonable design should be carried out in the future, and attention should be paid to the registration of research schemes. In addition, the research reports shall be prepared according to PRISMA statement.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of dorsal skin-tightening technique on the correction of mild penile curvature in children with hypospadias.Methods:The clinical characteristics of hypospadias patients (95 cases) with mild penile curvature (<30°) after degloving penis during operation in our hospital from Jan 2017 to Sep 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Group A: A new technique, reconstructing penile pubic angle at 12 o'clock position of penile dorsal side after degloving and suturing forskin outer and inner plate with tension at 12 o'clock position, was performed in dorsal skin-tightening group (43 cases). Gtoup B: while in dorsal midline tunica albuginea plication group (52 cases), Buck fascia was incised on dorsal midline area, following by tunica albuginea plication with one or two stitches. The patients in Group A were 0.4 to 1.5 years old, and the median age was 1.1 years, urethral orifice were located on distal shaft in 36 cases, proximal in 7 cases.The patients in Group B were 0.5 to 2.6 years old, and the median age was 1.5 years, urethral orifice were located on distal shaft in 41 cases, proximal in 11 cases. The penile ventral curvature degree was recorded during regular follow-up (postoperative 6 and 12 months), as well as postoperative complications.Results:Artificial erection test showed penile curvature was corrected during surgery by measuring with protractor. There was no chordee by measuring with the side photos in all patients during an average of 1.6 years follow-ups. There were 4 case of urethral fistula in Group B and 3 cases in Group A. No cases of urethrostenosis, diverticulum or concealed penis was recorded. The difference of postoperative complications had no statistical significance.Conclusion:Hypospadias with mild penile curvature could be effectively corrected by dorsal skin-tightening technique, which showed a good result of early follow-up.
