Granulation tissue hyperplasia after tracheotomy is a common clinical complication. Endoscopic treatment can temporarily relieve airway obstruction, however, it is associated with a high recurrence rate and poor long-term prognosis. Based on the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Kenang (窠囊) theory and combined with modern pathological mechanisms, this paper explores its correlation with the pathogenesis of post-tracheotomy granulation tissue hyperplasia. Drawing from clinical experience in applying the Kenang theory for treatment, this paper proposes that the fundamental pathogenesis of this condition lies in qi deficiency and organ dysfunction, while phlegm and blood stasis interlocking serve as the symptomatic manifestations. The treatment focuses on resolving phlegm and promoting blood circulation, dispersing nodules and eliminating stagnation, regulating qi flow, and reinforcing the body's vital energy while expelling pathogenic factors. This approach aims to dissolve phlegm and blood stasis, dissipate the Kenang, and ultimately prevent and treat granulation tissue hyperplasia.

ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence rate of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) in patients with difficult common bile duct intubation undergoing pancreatic duct stenting during surgery, as well as the effect of pancreatic duct stenting in the prevention and treatment of PEP, and to provide a basis for clinical treatment. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 186 patients with biliary tract disease who underwent initial ERCP and had difficult common bile duct intubation in The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to December 2024, and according to the condition of pancreatic duct stenting, the patients were divided into control group with 73 patients (without pancreatic duct stenting), 5Fr-5 cm stent group with 67 patients, and 7Fr-5 cm stent group with 46 patients. The three groups were compared in terms of baseline data, intraoperative procedures, and postoperative outcomes. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups; the Kruskal-Wallis H rank sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups, and the Dunn method was used for further comparison between two groups; the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for PEP in patients with difficult intubation during ERCP. ResultsThe overall incidence rate of PEP was 12.37% (23/186). Compared with the 5Fr-5 cm stent group and the 7Fr-5 cm stent group, the control group had a significantly higher incidence rate of PEP, a significantly higher score of postoperative abdominal pain, and a significantly longer length of postoperative hospital stay (all P0.01), and 55.56% of the patients in the control group had moderate-to-severe PEP. The univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that intradiverticular papilla, double guide wire intubation, needle knife precut, the application of basket and balloon for removal of common bile duct stones, intraoperative biopsy, pancreatic duct stenting, intubation time≤10 minutes, frequency of intubation≤5 times, preoperative CRP≤5 mg/L were influencing factors for PEP (all P0.05), and the multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that intraoperative pancreatic duct stenting, needle knife precut, and intraoperative biopsy were independent influencing factors for the onset of PEP (all P0.05). ConclusionPancreatic duct stenting during ERCP can effectively reduce the risk of PEP in patients with difficult intubation, while needle knife precut and intraoperative biopsy can increase the risk of PEP in patients with difficult intubation.

Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2024;65(16):1662-1666
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common respiratory infectious disease in the elderly, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and integrated TCM and western medicine showed effectiveness. According to the clinical characteristics of CAP, the staging concepts of CAP infection and recovery are proposed, and the prevention and treatment goals and strategies of staging and grading are put forward in combination with the disease seve-rity of mild, moderate and severe infections. The main objectives are to increase the cure rate of mild and moderate pneumonia, to reduce the case fatality rate of severe pneumonia, and to reduce the incidence of new upper and lower respiratory tract infections during the recovery period, respectively. TCM prevention and treatment strategies: for mild pneumonia, treatments should scatter and dissipate external pathogens, diffuse and descend lung qi, dispel dampness and dissolve phlegm, or clear lung and dissolve phlegm; for moderate pneumonia, treatments should clear lungs and resolve toxins, dry dampness and dissolve phlegm, and supplementing with tonifying lungs and strengthen spleen, or benefit qi and nourish yin; for severe pneumonia, the treatment of dispelling pathogen and supporting healthy qi should be emphasised according to the primary and secondary levels of excess pathogen and deficiency healthy qi; and for the recovery period, treatments should mainly support healthy qi, and supplement with dispelling pathogen. Relevant clinical studies have been conducted for practical verification, and the results showed that integrated TCM and Western medicine treatment can improve the cure rate of mild to moderate pneumonia, decrease the case fatality rate of severe pneumonia, and reduce the re-hospitalisation of pneumonia during the recovery period, indicating that the staged and graded prevention and treatment strategy has important guiding value for improving the diagnosis and treatment of CAP.

ObjectiveTo analyze the development status and quality of clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of dominant diseases with Chinese patent medicines (CPMs). MethodsDatabases were searched from Jan. 2019 to Dec.2023 to collect the published clinical practice guidelines of CPMs for the treatment of dominant diseases. The information about the title, the participants, clinical problems, outcomes, evidence grade, recommendations, and recommendation strength in the included clinical practice guidelines were collected, for which the development status was analyzed, and the quality was evaluated with the Scientific, Transparent and Applicable Rankings (STAR) tool for clinical practice guidelines. ResultsTotally, 34 guidelines were included, involving 273 kinds of CPMs. One to ten (with the medium five) clinical problems were proposed from 29 clinical practice guidelines respectively. All the guidelines divided the evidence into four grades according to Grade of Recommendation Assessment, Deve-lopement an Evaluation. And 28 guidelines had five levels of recommendation strength. A total of 344 recommendations were extracted, including 86 strong-recommendations, 191 weak-recommendations (including 36 weak recommendations only based on expert consensus) and 67 recommendations with unclear recommendation strength. All guidelines had high scores in the three areas of “clinical questions (94.20%)”, “evidence (91.45%)” and “recommendations (89.06%)”, while the scores in the three areas of “registry (22.06%)”, “protocol (19.00%)” and “accessibility (31.51%)” were low. The STAR recommended stars of 8 guidelines were 5.0~4.0 stars, while that of 18 guidelines were 3.5~2.5 stars, and 8 guidelines were 2.0~1.0 stars. The three guidelines with the highest recommended stars were depressive disorder, community-acquired pneumonia, and influenza in adult. ConclusionThere is a certain gap in the quality of the published clinical practice guidelines of CPMs, and the quality of the guidelines could be further improved in registry, protocols, funds, and accessibility.
