[Objective] To validate and optimize the platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) prediction model for patients with hematological disorders established by our center. [Methods] The data of patients with hematological diseases who received platelet transfusions from December 2021 to December 2022 were used as the training set, and data from January 2023 to December 2023 as the validation set. The validation set data was used to validate the predictive model constructed on the training set. Relevant risk factors for PTR were collected through literature review and preliminary studies。 The patients were divided into effective and ineffective groups according to the corrected count increment (CCI) of platelet counts. Predictive factors were screened using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The calibration of the model were assessed via calibration curves, while discrimination, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves Clinical utility was further analyzed with decision curve analysis (DCA). [Results] The Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) goodness-of-fit test for the validation set yielded S: P=0.000, indicating that the original model needs optimization. Baseline comparisons and logistic regression identified the number of red blood cell units (RBCU) and platelet units (PLT-U) transfused as key predictors for the optimized model. The H-L goodness-of-fit test S: P values for the training and validation sets were 0.930 and 0.056, respectively; the ROC areas were 0.793 5 and 0.809 4, specificities 90.95% and 84.21%, sensitivities 59.26% and 70.04%, and accuracies 78.14% and 74.10%, respectively. DCA demonstrated clinical net benefit within a prediction probability threshold range of 0.2-0.8. [Conclusion] Transfusion volumes of RBC-U and PLT-U were inversely associated with PTR in hematological patients. The resulting PTR prediction model exhibits moderate predictive efficacy and clinical benefit.

The field of post-marketing benefit-risk assessment for traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) is still in its nascent stage, lacking a universally accepted and cohesive evaluation framework and standards. This study presented a strategy developed for the benefit-risk assessment of post-marketing of TCM, and explored the critical techniques and specific implementation steps involved in the assessment process. Initially, appropriate qualitative assessment frameworks and quantitative analysis models were selected for the integrated qualitative and quantitative benefit-risk assessment. Subsequently, key technologies were outlined, including the establishment of a benefit-risk indicator system, the assignment of indicator weights, and the definition of criteria attributes. Furthermore, the implementation steps were elaborated, which involved defining decision-making issues, data collection, evaluation methodologies, variability factors, and sensitivity analysis. Finally, a case study of the benefit-risk assessment of a TCM injection for hepatitis B treatment was conducted to validate the feasibility of the proposed strategy. The objective of this research was to provide theoretical support and practical references for the development of a comprehensive post-marketing benefit-risk assessment system for TCM.

OBJECTIVE To observe the efficacy and safety of goserelin combined with estradiol valerate in the treatment of endometriosis (EMs) in patients of childbearing age after laparoscopic surgery. METHODS The clinical data of 144 patients with EMs of childbearing age who underwent laparoscopic surgery in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were collected retrospectively, and those patients were divided into control group (70 cases) and combination group (74 cases) based on different postoperative medication regimens. Control group was given Acetate goserelin sustained-release implant on the 1st to 5th day of their first menstrual cycle after laparoscopic surgery, while combination group was additionally given Estradiol valerate tablets on the basis of control group. The short-term and long-term efficacy of 2 groups were observed; preoperative and postoperative pain scores, ovarian reserve function, and the incidence of adverse reactions were all recorded in 2 groups. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in short-term total effective rate, 1-year postoperative recurrence rate and the incidence of decreased libido, vaginal dryness, gastrointestinal reactions, rash, or arrhythmia between two groups (P>0.05). The natural pregnancy rate of combination group was significantly higher than control group at 1 year after surgery, while the incidence E-mail:wanghuiling0518@126.com of early miscarriage, hot flashes and sweating, emotional fluctuations, insomnia and fatigue, joint muscle pain, dizziness and headache were significantly lower than control group (P<0.05). However, at 6 months after surgery, pain scores and the levels of anti-Müllerian hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol of both groups were significantly lower than before surgery in the same group, while the number of antral follicle count was significantly higher than before surgery in the same group; the levels of anti-Müllerian hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, and the number of antral follicles in the combination group were significantly higher than control group, while pain score and follicle stimulating hormone level were significantly lower than control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The combination of goserelin and estradiol valerate after laparoscopic surgery has a significant therapeutic effect and good safety in the treatment of EMs of childbearing age.

OBJECTIVE To develop a questionnaire of the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) for patients receiving oral anticoagulant therapy. METHODS Under the guidance of the theory of KAP, literature analysis and interview method were used to design the initial KAP questionnaire for patients treated with oral anticoagulants. Delphi method was adopted to consult the initial questionnaire and modify the questionnaire based on expert suggestions to form the final questionnaire. RESULTS Two rounds of consultation were conducted with 18 experts, and 18 questionnaires were sent out and recovered in each round, so the positive coefficient of experts was 100%. The expert authority coefficient was 0.94. The average importance scores for all dimensions, factors, and items of the questionnaire in both rounds were ≥4 points. The coefficient of variation was ≤0.25. The Kendall’s concordance coefficient for the overall questionnaire and the three dimensions of knowledge, attitude, and practice ranged from 0.09 to 0.34 (all P<0.05). Following the first round of expert consultation, four items were modified, two items were deleted, and five items were added; after the second round of expert consultation, ten items were modified. The final version of the questionnaire included three dimensions (knowledge, attitudes, and practice), 17 questionnaire factors, and 40 items. CONCLUSIONS The questionnaire has high reliability and scientific validity with relatively concentrated expert opinions. It is suitable for assessing the knowledge, attitudes, and practice status of patients receiving oral anticoagulant therapy.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects and potential mechanism of evodiamine on inflammatory response and apoptosis of epithelial cells in asthma model rats. METHODS SD rats were separated into control group, model group, evodiamine low-dose group (10 mg/kg), evodiamine high-dose group (20 mg/kg), dexamethasone group (positive control, 0.5 mg/kg), epidermal growth factor (EGF) group [mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activator, 10 μg], evodiamine high-dose+EGF group (20 mg/kg evodiamine+10 μg EGF), with 10 rats in each group. Except for the control group, the other groups were sensitized by 3-point injection of 10% ovalbumin(OVA)-aluminium hydroxide mixture and stimulated by inhalation of 2%OVA nebulized liquid to establish an asthma model. The count of inflammatory cells (macrophages and lymphocytes) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was detected in each group; pathological changes of lung tissue in rats were observed; the apoptosis of airway epithelial cells, the levels of serum inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-4], the expressions of pathway-related proteins p38 MAPK, phosphorylated p38 MAPK (p-p38 MAPK), signal transduction and transcription activating factor 1 (STAT1)] and apoptosis-related proteins [B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax)] were all detected in lung tissue. RESULTS Compared with the control group, bronchial mucosal edema, thickening of alveolar septa and extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells were observed in the lung tissue of rats in the model group; the number of inflammatory cells, apoptosis rate of airway epithelial cells, the levels of inflammatory factors, p-38 MAPK/p-38 MAPK, and the protein expressions of Bax and STAT1 were increased significantly; the expressions of Bcl-2 protein and Bcl-2/Bax were reduced significantly (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the pathological changes in lung tissues were alleviated to varying degrees in evodiamine low-dose and high-dose groups, and dexamethasone groups, and the above indicators were significantly reversed. However, the change trends of corresponding indicators in the EGF group were opposite to the above (P<0.05). EGF could significantly attenuate the effect of high-dose evodiamine on inflammatory response in asthmatic rats (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Evodiamine can relieve inflammatory reactions and inhibit the apoptosis of airway epithelial cells in asthmatic rats, the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting p38 MAPK/STAT1 signaling pathway.

Based on the"You Gu Wu Yun"theory in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),this paper believes that"Gu"in"You Gu Wu Yun"is extended to"state"from the perspective of"TCM state".In order to avoid the adverse reactions of TCM,the macro,meso,and micro three views should be used together,and macro,meso,and micro parameters should be integrated.We should also carefully identify the physiological characteristics,pathological characteristics,constitution,syndrome,and disease of human body by combining qualitative and quantitative method,highlighting the relationship between the prescription and the"state".The correspondence between prescription and the"state"will reduce the risk of adverse reactions of TCM.In this paper,we hope to focus on the guiding role of the"You Gu Wu Yun"theory in TCM research,to give full play to the characteristics and advantages of TCM,and to dialectically treat the role of TCM.
