ObjectiveTo investigate the intervention effect of Jiedu Tongluo Tiaogan prescription （JTTP） in protecting pancreatic β cells by targeting the bile acid Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 （TGR5）/cyclic adenosine monophosphate （cAMP） signaling pathway against NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） inflammasome. MethodThirty-two male SPF-grade db/db mice were randomly divided into the model group， low-dose JTTP group （3.6 g·kg^-1）， high-dose JTTP group （7.2 g·kg^-1）， and metformin group （0.2 g·kg^-1）. Eight db/m mice were assigned to the blank control group. The mice were treated with drugs for 8 weeks， and fasting blood glucose （FBG） was measured every 2 weeks. Oral glucose tolerance tests （OGTT） were conducted after the last administration. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was performed to detect fasting insulin （FINS）， and the homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function （HOMA-β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and IL-1β levels were calculated. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe pathological changes in mouse pancreatic tissue. Immunofluorescence was performed to detect insulin expression in mouse pancreatic tissue. Western blot and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） were used to detect the expression of proteins and mRNAs of key targets in the TGR5/cAMP signaling pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome. ResultCompared with blank group， FBG， OGTT， FINS， IL-6， TNF-α and IL-1β in model group were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with model group， after 6 weeks of drug treatment， FBG level in JTTP group and metformin group decreased significantly （P<0.01）. The results of OGTT experiment showed that compared with model group， the blood glucose levels of mice in each administration group were decreased at all time points （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the levels of FINS， TNF-α and IL-6 in JTTP dose groups and metformin group were significantly decreased. The level of IL-1β in JTTP high-dose group and metformin group was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Pancreatic pathology showed that the islets in the model group were irregular in shape， uneven in distribution， and showed signs of atrophy. The prognosis of JTTP was that the cell count increased and the boundary was clearer. Immunofluorescence results showed that the islet cells in the blank group were arranged in an orderly and full shape with appropriate insulin secretion， while the islet cells in model group were distorted in shape， atrophy in structure and less insulin secretion. The insulin content of mice in JTTP and metformin group was significantly increased. Compared with blank group， mRNA expressions of NLRP3， apoptosis-related spot-like protein （ASC） and Caspase-1 in pancreatic tissues of model group were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with model group， JTTP high-dose group and metformin group promoted the up-regulation of TGR5 and cAMP mRNA， and down-regulated the mRNA expressions of NLRP3， ASC and Caspase-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with blank group， the expression of TGR5 protein in model group was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with model group， TGR5 protein in JTTP high-dose group and metformin group was significantly increased （P<0.01）.

ObjectiveTo explore the law of women reproductive aging based on theory of "seven-year period" in traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） through analyzing the characteristics of basic sex hormone levels and anti-müllerian hormone levels in women of different ages. MethodsThe data of female who visited Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2018 to December 2022 and accepted basic hormone and anti-müllerian hormone determination were collected retrospectively. According to the age of subjects， they were divided into the "1-2 seven" group （under 21 years old）， "3 seven" group （21-27 years old）， "4 seven" group （28-34 years old）， "5 seven" group （35-41 years old）， "6 seven" group （42-48 years old） and "7 seven" and older group （49 years old and above）. The age， average menstrual cycle in the past 3 months， basic hormone levels including follicle stimulating hormone （FSH）， luteinizing hormone （LH）， estradiol （E₂）， testosterone （T） and FSH/LH value， and anti-müllerian hormone （AMH） levels were collected and compared. ResultsA total of 1221 cases were included. The differences in FSH， LH， FSH/LH values， E₂， T， AMH levels and average menstrual cycle among the groups were statistically significant （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. AMH peaked in the "3 seven" group. Compared to those in the "3 seven" group， the FSH/LH value in the "4 seven" group increased， while the LH， AMH and T levels decreased， and the menstrual cycle was shortened （P＜0.01）. The FSH/LH， LH， AMH， T and menstrual cycle in the "5 seven" group were consistent with the changing trend of those in the "4 seven" group， while the FSH and E₂ levels in the "5 seven" group were significantly higher （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to those in the "5 seven" group， the FSH， LH and E₂ levels of the "6 seven" group increased， and the AMH and T levels continued to decrease （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to those in the "6 seven" group， the FSH and LH levels of the "7 seven" and older group continued to increase， and the AMH and E₂ levels decreased （P＜0.01）. ConclusionThe law of women reproductive aging in the "seven-year period" theory is basically consistent with the characteristics of basic sex hormone levels and anti-müllerian hormone levels in women of different ages. The reproductive capacity reaches its peak in the "three-seven-year period" and gradually moves towards reproductive aging in the "four-seven-year period".

Objective To investigate the relationship between dynamic electrocardiogram P-wave sign and new-onset atrial fibrillation(NOAF)in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)(AMI-NOAF).Methods Totally 240 patients with AMI admitted to Wuwei Cancer Hospital were examined by dynamic electrocardiogram.P-wave sign pa-rameters and clinical data of holter electrocardiogram were collected.The relationship between P-wave sign and clini-cal parameters of AMI patients was analyzed.The patients were divided into NOAF group and nonoccurrence(non-NOAF)group and multivariate Logistic regression model was used to identify the influencing factors of NOAF occur-rence in AMI.Results Killip Ⅲ-Ⅳ grade minimum P wave duration(Pmin)level was shorter than that of Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade.Maximum P wave duration(Pmax)and P wave dispersion(Pd)level were higher than that of Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade(P<0.05).NOAF occurred in 47 of 240 AMI patients(19.58％).The level of Pmin in NOAF group was lower than that in non-NOAF group,and the level of Pmax and Pd in NOAF group was higher than that in non-NOAF group(P<0.05).The heart rate and the proportion of Killip grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ in NOAF group were higher than those in non-NOAF group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that Killip Ⅲ-Ⅳ grade,high level of Pmax and Pd were independent risk factors for NOAF in AMI(P<0.05).Conclusions The level of Pmin,Pmax and Pd are correlated with Killip grading in AMI patients.AMI-NOAF patients have abnormal P-wave sign in holter electrocardiogram.The high levels of Pmax and Pd are independent risk factors of AMI and NOAF.

Objective To explore the automated identification and diameter measurement methods for inferior vena cava (IVC) based on clinical ultrasound images of IVC. Methods An automated identification and localization method based on topology and automatic tracking algorithm was proposed. Tracking algorithm was used for identifying and continuously locating to improve the efficiency and accuracy of measurement. Tests were conducted on 18 sets of ultrasound data collected from 18 patients in intensive care unit (ICU),with clinicians' measurements as the gold standard. Results The recognition accuracy of the automated method was 94.44％ (17/18),and the measurement error of IVC diameter was within the range of±1.96s (s was the standard deviation). The automated method could replace the manual method. Conclusion The proposed IVC automated identification and localization algorithm based on topology and automatic tracking algorithm has high recognition success rate and IVC diameter measurement accuracy. It can assist clinicians in identifying and locating IVC,so as to improve the accuracy of IVC measurement.

Remote pharmaceutical care refers to the process that pharmacists provide pharmaceutical care to patients remotely through information technology. Remote pharmaceutical care in China starts late and develops slowly. Therefore ，this paper discusses the pharmaceutical care modes that pharmacists at home and abroad can provide under the remote mode by collecting literature. The results show that foreign remote pharmaceutical care starts early and is relatively mature. The service mainly included remote follow-up and intervention ，24-hour online prescription and order review ，24-hour online drug reorganization ，and guidance on rational drug use in remote areas or community hospitals. The service population covers patients with cardiovascular disease ， diabetes，asthma，AIDS and so on. Some hospitals have established an integrated pharmaceutical care system of “Internet+Medical Consortium”in China ，with which pharmacists can provide patients with pharmaceutical care such as remote follow-up and intervention，drug consultation and so on. With the promotion of telemedicine ，domestic pharmacists can gradually expand the scope of services ，expand pharmaceutical services such as remote consultation and remote popular science push ，and realize the sharing of high-quality pharmaceutical care for the whole people.

Abivertinib, a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is originally designed to target epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutations. Previous studies have shown that abivertinib has promising antitumor activity and a well-tolerated safety profile in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer. However, abivertinib also exhibited high inhibitory activity against Bruton's tyrosine kinase and Janus kinase 3. Given that these kinases play some roles in the progression of megakaryopoiesis, we speculate that abivertinib can affect megakaryocyte (MK) differentiation and platelet biogenesis. We treated cord blood CD34⁺ hematopoietic stem cells, Meg-01 cells, and C57BL/6 mice with abivertinib and observed megakaryopoiesis to determine the biological effect of abivertinib on MK differentiation and platelet biogenesis. Our in vitro results showed that abivertinib impaired the CFU-MK formation, proliferation of CD34⁺ HSC-derived MK progenitor cells, and differentiation and functions of MKs and inhibited Meg-01-derived MK differentiation. These results suggested that megakaryopoiesis was inhibited by abivertinib. We also demonstrated in vivo that abivertinib decreased the number of MKs in bone marrow and platelet counts in mice, which suggested that thrombopoiesis was also inhibited. Thus, these preclinical data collectively suggested that abivertinib could inhibit MK differentiation and platelet biogenesis and might be an agent for thrombocythemia.

【Objective】 To understand the current situation of blood components distribution in domestic prefecture-level blood stations through analyzing the components distribution data of 24 prefecture-level blood stations in China. 【Methods】 The data of components distribution of 24 blood stations from 2017 to 2020 as well as the data of blood deployment of 24 blood stations from 2019 to 2020 were collected and analyzed. 【Results】 From 2017 to 2020, positive annual growth in red blood cells, plasma and cryoprecipitate was observed in 22, 19 and 15 out of the 24 blood stations, and the annual growth median rate of above three components was 5.24%, 3.80% and 3.25%, respectively. Among the 24 prefecture-level blood stations, 23 carried out the preparation of cryoprecipitate. 【Conclusion】 The distribution of red blood cells, cryoprecipitate and plasma in prefecture-level blood stations is increasing year by year. However, there is a overstock of plasma, and most blood stations need blood employment.

Objective : To evaluate the morphology of the upper airway of children with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) combined with polysomnography (PSG) and provide references for clinical practice. Methods: CBCT data of 45 OSAHS children and 45 normal children and PSG data of the OSAHS group were retrospectively collected. Three-dimensional reconstructions were performed using NNT 9.0 software. The total upper airway volume, nasopharyngeal volume, palatopharyngeal volume, glossopharyngeal volume, laryngopharyngeal volume, minimum cross-sectional area, anterior-posterior diameter of the minimum cross-section, and lateral diameter of the minimum cross-section were measured and recorded. According to PSG monitoring results, patients with an obstructive apnea hypopnea index (OAHI) and lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO2) were assessed. Body mass index (BMI) was recorded. The correlation between airway volume parameters, BMI and PSG test results was analyzed. Results: The total upper airway volume, nasopharyngeal volume, palatopharyngeal volume, glossopharyngeal volume, laryngopharyngeal volume, minimum cross-sectional area, anterior-posterior diameter of the minimum cross-section, and lateral diameter of the minimum cross-section of the OSAHS group were significantly reduced compared with those of the control group (P<0.05). In the OSAHS group, the total upper airway volume, the minimum cross-sectional area and the lateral diameter of the minimum cross-section showed moderate negative correlations with the obstructive apnea hypopnea index (OAHI) (P<0.05). Moreover, the total upper airway volume, minimum cross-sectional area, anterior-posterior diameter of the minimum cross-section and lateral diameter of the minimum cross-section showed no correlation with the minimum blood oxygen saturation (P>0.05). No significant correlation was noted between BMI and PSG in the OSAHS group (P>0.05). Conclusion The morphology of the upper airway of children with OSAHS was significantly smaller than that of normal children. CBCT three-dimensional technology for analyzing the upper airway has a certain value in evaluating the morphology and degree of obstruction of the upper airway in children with OSAHS.

The cultivation of medical humanistic quality is indispensable in the standardized training of pediatric residents, and it is urgent to explore new educational methods to improve their medical humanistic quality level. In this study, 60 standardized pediatricians participated in the standardized training, 36 in the experimental group received innovative interactive medical humanities education, while 24 in the control group were set up to receive traditional medical humanities education. Short-term and long-term test scores were conducted by questionnaire at the beginning of the standardized training and 2 years later. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in the self-scores of professional quality, moral cultivation, communication skills, legal knowledge and innovative spirit (P>0.05) , but the scores of teaching teachers were improved except innovative spirit (P<0.05) . In addition, compared with the control group, the number of pediatricians with professional honor increased, the doctor-patient communication ability improved, the medical disputes reduced, and the family satisfaction improved in experimental group were increased (P<0.05) . These results indicated that innovative interactive medical humanistic education is an effective method to improve the medical humanistic quality of pediatric residents in standardized training.

Objective:To compare the clinical characteristics of congenital chylothorax in preterm and term infants.Method:From January 2011 to December 2019, the clinical data of infants with congenital chylothorax admitted to our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The infants were assigned into preterm group (<37 weeks) and term group (≥37 weeks) according to their gestational age. The general information, clinical manifestations, laboratory results, treatment and prognosis of the two groups were compared.Result:A total of 34 infants with congenital chylothorax were included, including 11 premature infants and 23 term infants. No significant differences existed in gender, delivery mode, prenatal diagnosis of pleural effusion, congenital heart disease/chromosome abnormality, birth asphyxia, dyspnea, fetal edema, and location of effusion between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with term group, preterm group had significantly fewer leukocytes [3 245(1 007, 7 403)×10 6/L vs. 10 214(6 233,16 458)×10 6/L] and lower protein level [(28.1±7.6) g/L vs. (33.3±6.3) g/L] in the pleural fluid ( P<0.05). No significant differences existed in the proportion of pleural lymphocytes between the two groups ( P>0.05). The proportion of mechanical ventilation (MV) in the preterm group was statistically higher than that the term group [100%(11/11) vs. 65.2%(15/23)], and the duration of MV was statistically longer than the term group [(16(10,25) d) vs. (1(0,11) d)] ( P<0.05). No significant differences existed between the two groups in the application of other treatment options (thoracentesis/drainage, fasting, octreotide and erythromycin pleural injection), time needed for the disappearance of effusion, duration of hospital stay and cure/improvement rate ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Preterm infants may have lower leukocyte count and protein level in the pleural effusion than the term infants. Both preterm and term infants have higher proportion of lymphocytes in the pleural effusion fluid. Although most preterm infants need ventilator support after delivery, most of them achieve complete remission after conservative treatment and the overall prognosis is as good as term infants.
