		                        			ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Tongxinluo capsules on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome elements and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with chronic coronary syndrome of Qi deficiency and blood stasis type. MethodsA multicenter and prospective cohort study was conducted. The intervention of Tongxinluo Capsules was used as the exposure factor, and the patients were divided into an exposure group (integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment group) and a non-exposure group (western medicine treatment group). The patients were followed up for one year. The TCM syndrome element scores were assessed by using a syndrome element diagnosis scale on the day of enrollment and in the third, sixth, and twelfth months, and the incidence of MACE within one year was recorded. ResultsA total of 186 patients were included, with 128 patients in the exposure group and 58 patients in the non-exposure group. There was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups. Compared with those in the pretreatment period for each group, the Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome scores in the treatment and follow-up period were significantly improved (P<0.05). Compared with the non-exposure group, the exposure group exhibited significantly decreased Qi deficiency syndrome scores in the treatment and follow-up period (P<0.01) and significantly reduced blood stasis syndrome scores in the sixth month (P<0.05). In the remaining follow-up period, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Compared with that of the non-exposure group, during the treatment period (the third month), the difference in Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome scores of the exposure group was statistically significant (P<0.05, P<0.01). At the end of the follow-up period, patients in the non-exposure group had a MACE probability of 6.90% (4/58), higher than 3.13% in the exposure group (4/58). Compared with patients with angina pectoris who used conventional medicine, patients administered with Tongxinluo Capsules had a relative risk(RR) of 0.45 [95%confidence interval(95%CI) 0.12-1.75, P=0.26]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of MACE within one year between the two groups. ConclusionTongxinluo capsules can improve the degree of Qi deficiency in patients with chronic coronary syndrome in the short term, and the improvement effect of blood stasis syndrome appears in the medium and long term. They can better improve the Qi deficiency syndrome in the long term. Within one year, the incidence of MACE in the exposure group was lower than that in the non-exposure group.

		                        			Objective:To analyze the therapeutic effect and safety of simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy for lung cancer brain metastases.Methods:A total of 300 patients with lung cancer brain metastases admitted to the Department of Oncology, Qingdao Municipal Hospital from March 2021 to March 2023 were selected as the study objects. The patients were divided into control group ( n=150) and study group ( n=150) by random number table method. The control group received sequential three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, while the study group received simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy. The short-term and medium-term efficacy, target dose, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:The short-term and medium-term total effective rates of the study group were 73.33% (110/150) and 88.67% (133/150), respectively, which were higher than those of the control group [51.33% (77/150) and 71.33% (107/150) ] ( χ2=15.46, P<0.001; χ2=14.08, P<0.001). The D min in gross tumor planning target volume and whole brain clinical planning target volume of the study group were (23.78±1.11) and (58.46±0.55) Gy, respectively, which were higher than those in the control group [ (16.67±1.08) and (53.44±0.74) Gy], with statistically significant differences ( t=56.22, P<0.001; t=66.68, P<0.001). The D mean in gross tumor planning target volume and whole brain clinical planning target volume of the study group were (44.12±0.87) and (62.19±0.57) Gy, respectively, which were higher than those in the control group [ (37.55±0.89) and (57.78±0.82) Gy], with statistically significant differences ( t=64.65, P<0.001; t=54.08, P<0.001). The total incidence of adverse reactions was 30.67% (46/150) in the study group and 36.67% (55/150) in the control group, with no significantly significant difference ( χ2=1.20, P=0.271) . Conclusion:Compared with sequential three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy has better short-term and medium-term efficacy in patients with lung cancer brain metastases. Target dose can be increased without increasing adverse reactions.

		                        			ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Tongxinluo capsules on the use of anti-ischemic drugs in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) of Qi deficiency and blood stasis. MethodA multicenter,prospective cohort study was conducted,with Tongxinluo capsules intervention as the exposure factor. Patients were divided into an exposed group (combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine) and a non-exposed group (western medicine alone),and followed up for one year. The use of anti-ischemic drugs was observed on the day of enrollment and at 3,6,12 months. ResultA total of 186 patients were enrolled,with 128 in the exposed group and 58 in the non-exposed group. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. At the 3-month follow-up,the types of first-line anti-ischemic drugs used in the exposed group were significantly fewer than those in the non-exposed group (P<0.01),and this difference remained statistically significant at 6 months (P<0.05) but was no longer significant at 12 months. At the 3- and 6-month follow-ups,there were no significant differences between the two groups in the types of second-line anti-ischemic drugs used. However,at the 12-month follow-up,the types of second-line anti-ischemic drugs used in the exposed group were significantly fewer than those in the non-exposed group (P<0.01). At the 3-month follow-up,both groups showed a reduction in the types of first-line anti-ischemic drugs used compared to baseline (P<0.05),with a more pronounced reduction in the exposed group (P<0.05). At the 6-month follow-up,the exposed group showed a significant reduction in the types of second-line anti-ischemic drugs used compared to baseline (P<0.05),while no significant changes were observed in the non-exposed group. At the 12-month follow-up,the difference in the types of second-line anti-ischemic drugs between the exposed and non-exposed groups was statistically significant (P<0.05),while there was no significant difference in the types of first-line anti-ischemic drugs. ConclusionTongxinluo capsules can effectively reduce the use of anti-ischemic drugs in patients with CCS of Qi deficiency and blood stasis.

		                        			Objective:To assess the application effect of "internet + mobile medicine" on the process management of standardized residency training of obstetrics and gynecology.Methods:A total of 43 teachers including 14 administrators and 29 instructors who were not directly responsible for management, and 41 residents who participated in the standardized training in our base were enrolled as research objects. The data of process management were sorted by internet technology, and combined with personal wishes and casting lots, the residents were divided into two groups: the control group ( n=21) adopted traditional way while the observation group ( n=20) used mobile medicine for process management. By conducting multi-dimensional questionnaire and data comparison, we analyzed the evaluation of teachers and residents, the scores of different stage of residents, and the satisfaction of cervical cancer postoperative patients to medical care under different process management mode. SPSS 22.0 software was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:The application of "internet + mobile medicine" in standardized residency training obtained positive evaluation both by teachers and residents, and the ratio of considering "necessary" to reform the traditional residency training management mode in residents [95.1%(39/41)] and administrators [92.9%(13/14)] were both higher than that in instructors [62.1%(18/29)]. And 78.6%(11/14) of the administrators believed that cloud data management took less time. After 6 months of process management by different modes, the clinical diagnosis and treatment ability and skill operation ability scores of observation group were higher than those of control group [(93.6±5.6) vs. (89.4±5.7); (89.6±8.8) vs. (84.0±8.7)]. The "overall medical satisfaction rate" of cervical cancer patients was relatively high in both groups [100%(30/30) vs. 93.3%(28/30)], and the "very satisfied rate" of patients in the mobile medical group was higher than that in the traditional group [86.7%(26/30) vs. 63.3%(19/30)].Conclusion:The application of "internet + mobile medicine" is conducive to strengthening the process management and optimizing the quality of standardized residency training management of obstetrics and gynecology.

		                        			Objective:The decision tree Chi-square automatic interactive detection (CHAID) algorithm and binary Logistic regression analysis were used to construct the risk prediction model of premature ovarian failure (POF) in patients with uterine fibroids complicated with hypertension after surgery, and the results of the risk prediction model were compared and analyzed.Methods:Patients with uterine fibroids complicated with hypertension admitted to Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province from Jan. 2019 to Sep. 2022 were retrospectively analyzed as the research objects. CHAID algorithm and Logistic regression analysis were used to establish risk prediction models, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to compare and evaluate the prediction effects of the two models.Results:A total of 860 patients were collected, including 56 patients with premature ovarian function failure after operation, and the incidence of premature ovarian function failure was 6.51%. CHAID method and Logistic regression analysis showed that uterine myoma surgery, hypertension, smoking or passive smoking, family history of premature ovarian failure, sleep status, physical exercise and history of induced curettage were important influencing factors of premature ovarian failure. The accuracy of risk prediction of decision tree model was 88.2%, and the fitting effect of the model was good. The Logistic regression model Hosmer-Leme-show goodness of fit test showed that the model fit was good. The AUC of Logistic regression model was 0.893 (95% CI: 0.862-0.899), and the AUC of decision tree model was 0.882 (95% CI: 0.856-0.899). The predictive value of the two models was moderate, and there was no significant difference between them ( Z=0.254, P>0.05) . Conclusions:The combination of decision tree and Logistic regression model can find the influencing factors of premature ovarian function failure in patients with uterine fibroids complicated with hypertension after operation from different levels, and the relationship between the factors can be more fully understood. The establishment of a risk model for premature ovarian function failure in patients with uterine fibroids complicated with hypertension after surgery can provide a reference for postoperative intervention in patients with uterine fibroids complicated with hypertension, and more effectively help patients actively prevent and slow down the occurrence and development of POF.

		                        			Objective To investigate the changes in the expression of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRBP) in a radiation-induced lung injury model. Methods Thirty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided by body weight into control group (no intervention) and model group (single chest X-ray irradiation with a dose of 20 Gy to build a radiation-induced lung injury model). The mice were dissected five weeks after irradiation. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes of the lung tissue and the deposition of collagen fibers. Immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expression of the inflammatory factors interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the lung tissue. qRT-PCR was used to measure the expression of CIRBP mRNA in the lung tissue. The expression of CIRBP protein in the lung tissue was determined by the immunofluorescence assay and Western blot. Results Compared with the control group, the model group showed significant pulmonary vascular congestion, significant inflammatory cell infiltration, significant thickening of some alveolar septa, significantly increased IL-6 expression [(129.41 ± 5.58) vs (187.22 ± 34.77), t = 3.179, P < 0.05], significantly increased TNF-α expression [(137.52 ± 23.53) vs (187.02 ± 19.16), t = 5.069, P < 0.05], significantly increased CIRBP mRNA expression [(1 ± 0.08) vs (1.97 ± 0.39), t = 3.45, P < 0.05], and significantly increased CIRBP protein expression [(9.32 ± 1.26) vs (14.76 ± 1.61), t = 3.751, P < 0.05], by the immunofluorescence assay; [(1.13 ± 0.17) vs (1.49 ± 0.14), t = 2.819, P < 0.05], by Western blot). Conclusion The expression of CIRBP is significantly increased in the radiation-induced lung injury model, which may be an important pro-inflammatory factor in radiation-induced lung injury.
