The study explores the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnostic and treatment approach to coronary microvascular disease (CMVD) from the perspective of "disharmony of blood collaterals and dysfunction of qi transformation". It is proposed that the core pathogenesis of CMVD lies in these two mechanisms. From an integrative medicine perspective, different CMVD types are analyzed based on their specific pathogenesis. Through clinical practice, four targeted treatment methods, i.e. warming, unblocking, tonifying, and activating, are formulated. CMVD caused by atherosclerosis is primarily associated with myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, and coronary revascularization, with corresponding pathological mechanisms of latent pathogenic obstruction, toxic accumulation in the collaterals, and deficiency with collateral stasis. The disease progression exhibits characteristics of correlation, staging, and transformation. Accordingly, treatment principles include warming to assist qi transformation, unblocking obstruction and dispelling turbidity, activating to disperse toxic stasis and invigorate collaterals, and tonifying to eliminate stasis and nourish collaterals. For CMVD unrelated to atherosclerosis, attention should be paid to the underlying disease, analyzing the main syndromes of blood and collateral disharmony. An approach combining disease-syndrome differentiation with blood and collateral regulation is emphasized for precise treatment.

OBJECTIVE To provide references for ensuring the safety of prescription preparation, dispensing, and use of parenteral nutrition solution, as well as for expanding the scope of pharmaceutical services provided by pharmacists in the Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Services (PIVAS). METHODS Under the guidance of PIVAS pharmacists, the rules for reviewing medical orders of parenteral nutrition in the PIVAS system and the information displayed on the infusion labels of finished parenteral nutrition solutions were refined. The process management of dispensing parenteral nutrition solution was strengthened, and detailed quality control and inspection rules were formulated. Additionally, Clinical Safety Monitoring Form for Finished Parenteral Nutrition Infusions was designed to conduct clinical monitoring and inspections for abnormalities in the finished infusions, infusion operations, and complications that may arise during the use of finished parenteral nutrition infusions. The implementation effects of the aforementioned optimization/inspection measures were evaluated by comparing data on the efficiency of medical order review for parenteral nutrition, the rate of irrational medical orders, the compliance rate of vascular access selection and infusion rate standardization, the rate of dispensing error, as well as the abnormalities occurring during clinical use, before and after the optimization/inspection initiatives were put into place. RESULTS The optimized prescription review system achieved automatic review of medical orders for parenteral nutrition, enhancing the efficiency of order review. The average time taken to review one parenteral nutrition medical order was reduced from approximately 1 minute to 10 seconds. The irrational rate of parenteral nutrition orders decreased by 31.87%. The dispensing error rate of parenteral nutrition decreased by 56.55%. The standard rate of vascular access selection and standard rate of infusion speed were increased by 13.29% and 3.54%, respectively. The PIVAS pharmacists identified and intervened in 5 abnormal cases out of 298 cases examined for use of parenteral nutrition solutions. CONCLUSIONS By optimizing the prescription review system, improving labeling information, and strengthening quality control inspections during both preparation and administration processes, PIVAS pharmacists have enhanced the safety of compounded parenteral nutrition solutions. This initiative has expanded the scope and depth of pharmaceutical care provided by dispensing pharmacists.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the promoter methylation level of Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1) gene and diabetic microangiopaopathy complicated with osteoporosis.Methods:Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) microangiopathopathy who were admitted to our hospital from Jan. 2019 to Dec. 2022 were collected as research objects, and divided into observation group (44 cases) and control group (58 cases) according to whether they were complicated with osteoporosis. Bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine (L1-4) was measured, and bone metabolism indexes, including serum calcium, serum phosphorus, 25-hydroxy vitamin D3[25-hydroxy vitamin D3, 25- (OH) D3], PTH, C-terminal telopeptide of typeI collagen (CTX), procollagen of aminoterminal propeptide (PINP) and tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP) levels were detected; The promoter methylation level of DKK1 gene was determined.Results:The methylation level of DKK1 gene promoter in the observation group was 5.17%±0.73%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (3.81%±0.61%), with statistical significance ( t=5.22, P<0.001). The 25- (OH) D3 level, PTH and lumbar bone density in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, while the CTX and TRACP levels were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t was 5.58, 4.35, 4.12, 4.05 and 4.17, respectively, P<0.001). In all patients, the promoter methylation level of DKK1 gene was significantly positively correlated with CTX and TRACP ( r was 0.41 and 0.39, P was 0.006 and 0.027, respectively), and significantly negatively correlated with PTH and lumbar bone density ( r was -0.38 and -0.43, respectively). P=0.015 and 0.003, respectively). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of DKK1 methylation level to distinguish type 2 diabetes microangionopathy with and without osteoporosis was 0.841 (0.762-0.921), and the sensitivity and specificity were 86.4% and 72.4%, respectively. Conclusion:The methylation level of DKK1 gene promoter is associated with osteoporosis and bone metabolism in T2DM patients with microangiopathia.

BACKGROUND:Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a common orthopedic disease,and hip preservation surgery with bone grafting is commonly used in the early stage,in which autologous bone and allograft bone are commonly used as bone grafting materials.However,autologous bone transplantation is highly traumatic and bone supply is limited,and allograft bone is rich in sources,but there are serious risks of immune rejection and absorption.In recent years,the tissue engineering technique based on mesenchymal stem cells is a new method for the treatment of femoral head necrosis,which is gradually widely used after basic experiments and clinical application. OBJECTIVE:To review the application and prospect of tissue engineering in the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head to provide a new choice for the clinical treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. METHODS:The PubMed database and CNKI database from 2013 to 2023 were searched by the first author with Chinese and English search terms"tissue engineering,mesenchymal stem cells,biological scaffolds,cytokines,osteonecrosis of the femoral head,bone graft,hip preservation".The articles on the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head with tissue engineering technology were selected,and 55 representative articles were included for review after the initial screening of all articles according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With the continuous development of biotechnology and materials science,great progress has been made in the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head by bone tissue engineering,such as the application of gene-modified mesenchymal stem cells to repair osteonecrosis,the combination of gene recombination technology and surface modification technology with bone tissue engineering in the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.(2)When applied to the necrotic femoral head,tissue engineering technology can promote the regeneration of necrotic bone tissue and the repair of the vascular system,provide biomechanical stability for the necrotic area,and use bioactive factors to accelerate the repair of seed cells to complete the regeneration of new bone in necrotic area.(3)However,most of these studies are still in the animal experiment stage,and there are still many unsolved problems and challenges in bone tissue engineering research.With the rapid development of nanotechnology,tissue engineering and clinical medicine,biomimetic replacement bone grafting materials with perfect performance are expected to come into being.(4)In the future,bone tissue engineering for osteonecrosis of the femoral head is expected to be a satisfactory treatment for patients with hip preservation.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of HEMO-FISS-QoL(HF-QoL) questionnaire (HF-QoL-C) in the Chinese population with hemorrhoids.Methods:From November 2021 to November 2022, a self-constructed general information questionnaire, HF-QoL-C, and the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36), Goligher classification, and Giordano severity of hemorrhoid symptom questionnaire (GSQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 760 hemorrhoid patients in the anorectal department of six hospitals. The data was analyzed for reliability and validity using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 26.0 software.Results:The Cronbach's α coefficient of HF-QoL-C and its dimension ranged from 0.831 to 0.960, and the split coefficient was 0.832-0.915. Four common factors were extracted through principal component exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable structural validity( χ2/ df=8.152, RSMEA=0.097, CFI=0.881, IFI=0.881, NFI=0.867). HF-QoL-C was correlated with SF36 and GSQ( r=-0.694, 0.501, both P<0.01). There were differences in the total score and dimensional scores of HF-QoL-C between surgical and drug treated patients, different grades of Goligher classification for hemorrhoidal disease, and different ranges of hemorrhoid prolapse (all P<0.001). No ceiling effect was found in the total score and the scores of each dimension(0.3%-2.0%). There was a floor effect in both psychological function and sexual activity dimensions (16.7%, 35.1%). Conclusion:HF-QoL-C has good reliability and validity, which can be used to measure the quality of life of Chinese hemorrhoid patients.
