ObjectiveTo explore the listed varieties and prescription characteristics of Chinese patent medicines for stroke in China, explore the medication rules of Chinese medicine for stroke, and provide guidance for further clinical research and development of Chinese patent medicines. MethodsExcel 2021 and the Ancient and Modern Medical Record Cloud Platform (V2.3.5) were used to systematically mine and analyze the varieties and prescriptions of Chinese patent medicines for stroke in China. ResultsA total of 244 Chinese patent medicines (two for different dosage forms of the same prescription), 1 736 approval documents for Chinese patent medicines, 792 manufacturers, and 83 varieties of protected Chinese patent medicines were finally included in the database. The top three dosage forms were capsules (75), pills (53), and tablets (42). There were 28 Chinese patent medicines for stroke in the National Essential Drug Catalogue (2018), 129 in the National Essential Medical Insurance, Industrial Injury Insurance and Maternity Insurance Drug Catalogue (2023), and 4 in the National Non-prescription Drug Catalogue. Among the 138 prescriptions screened out, Chinese patent medicines mainly treated stroke patients with the syndrome of Qi deficiency and blood stasis. The top three most frequent medicinal herbs were Chuanxiong Rhizoma (63), Pheretima (47), and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (47). The medicinal herbs used were mainly warm, pungent, with the meridian tropism to the liver meridian. The correlation analysis showed that the herb pair with the highest support was Astragali Radix-Chuanxiong Rhizoma, and that with the highest confidence was Carthami Flos-Chuanxiong Rhizoma. Five herb combinations were identified based on the cluster analysis. ConclusionThe Chinese patent medicines for stroke mainly treat patients with the syndrome of Qi deficiency and blood stasis. The medicinal herbs used in the prescriptions mainly have the functions of activating blood and resolving stasis, extinguishing wind and stopping convulsions. Drug compatibility usually focuses on activating blood and resolving stasis, as well as expelling phlegm and opening orifices. This review of the varieties and prescription characteristics of Chinese patent medicines for stroke helps optimize clinical decision-making, guide drug research and development, promote medical research and scientific progress, and provide more effective support and guarantee for the treatment of stroke patients.

Using the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to determine the plasma level of Lyso-GL3 in patients with Fabry disease and to analyze the clinical application of the method. Thirty-nine patients with a genetic diagnosis of Fabry disease were included, and plasma levels of Lyso-GL3 were measured by LC-MS/MS analysis, and detailed clinical information of the patients was obtained including: α-galactosidase A activity, genetic variants, quantification of urine protein, mean arterial pressure, and estimation of glomerular filtration rate, and the differences in the levels of Lyso-GL3 in different clinical phenotypes and genotypes were statistically analyzed, as well as the association with clinical indicators. Lyso-GL3 showed good linearity within 0.7856-400 ng/mL( The using of LC-MS/MS to quantify plasma Lyso-GL showed significant differences in Lyso-GL3 concentrations between classical and atypical phenotypes, suggesting that plasma Lyso-GL3 may help with clinical phenotypes. However, Lyso-GL3 levels is found to be overlapped between genotypes. No significant linear correlation was found between Lyso-GL3 and renal clinical indicators, suggesting the urgent need in finding a more accurate tool to assess renal involvement and prognosis in patients with Fabry disease.

Objective This paper summarizes and evaluates the existing animal models of Post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome(PI-IBS)based on the clinical diagnostic criteria and symptom characteristics of PI-IBS in Chinese and western medicine.The goal of this study is to seek out animal models with a high degree of clinical agreement between Chinese and western medicine,and to provide an accurate animal model for the prevention and treatment of PI-IBS in traditional Chinese medicine.Methods The animal strains,modelling methods,and mechanisms of the existing PI-IBS animal models were summarized based on the clinical diagnostic features and symptomatology of PI-IBS,as well as the degree of match was evaluated and the strengths and weaknesses of the preparation of animal models were analyzed,by reviewing the articles related to PI-IBS animal experiments and the preparation of animal models.Results A thorough analysis discovered that Campylobacter jejuni infection model,Trichinella infection model,and liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome in models of disease and symptom combination showed a comparatively high level of clinical agreement between Chinese and western medicine.Conclusion The existing PI-IBS models had the high degree of coincidence with western medicine,Chinese medicine four diagnoses and syndrome are generally less embodied and collected in the modeling process.The primary symptoms in Chinese medicine diagnosis are primarily based on the observation of animal apparent behaviors,while the observation of the sub-syndrome manifestations is relatively less,which results in failure of judgment of TCM syndrome types.Therefore,it is still necessary to further standardize the criteria for evaluating symptoms and the techniques for identifying disease-syndrome combination animal models.PI-IBS model with the syndrome-clinical characteristics in Chinese and western medicine has significant application value and prospects in the future.The multifactorial composite method of western medicine pathological injury+Chinese medicine etiological stimulation can establish a PI-IBS model with a higher degree of coincidence,which can provide theoretical support for the study of the pathogenesis of PI-IBS,the difference of syndrome,and the prevention and treatment with integrative Chinese and western medicine.It is crucial to guide the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PI-IBS.

Objective:To examine the factors that contribute to memory impairment in elderly stroke patients and develop a predictive model.Methods:One hundred stroke patients from the First People's Hospital of Changzhou were selected to assess the incidence of memory impairment using the Montreal cognitive assessment memory index score(MoCA-MIS).Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression were performed to determine the factors influencing memory impairment in these patients.Additionally, the correlation among relevant scale scores was examined, and a prediction model was developed.Results:In the study, 49 patients(49.0%)did not exhibit memory impairment.Patients with memory impairment were found to have higher proportions of individuals over 75 years old, elevated levels of triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol(TC), low-density lipoproteins cholesterol(LDL-C), and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)scores compared to those without memory impairment.Conversely, patients without memory impairment had higher proportions of individuals with more than 9 years of education, higher levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), mini-mental state examination(MMSE)scores, Rivermead behavioural memory test-Ⅱ(RBMT-Ⅱ)scores, and picture-based memory impairment screen(PMIS)scores(all P<0.05).Furthermore, Montreal cognitive assessment-memory index(MoCA-MIS)scores in stroke patients with memory impairment showed negative correlations with NIHSS scores, TG, and LDL-C, while showing positive correlations with HDL-C, MMSE scores, RBMT-Ⅱ scores, and PMIS scores(all P<0.05).Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis indicated that years of education, TG, HDL-C, NIHSS score, MMSE score, RBMT-Ⅱ score, PMIS score, and the location of the lesion in the cortex or temporal lobe were significant factors influencing memory impairment in stroke patients(all P<0.05).The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)analysis revealed an area under curve(AUC)of 0.955(95% CI: 0.921-0.977)for the prediction model of memory impairment in stroke patients, with a Yoden index of 0.841. Conclusions:The risk of memory impairment in stroke patients is associated with education years and blood lipid levels.Factors such as high education level, active cognitive function, and memory training serve as protective factors against memory impairment.The prediction model developed using these influencing factors demonstrates high predictive accuracy for post-stroke memory impairment.

Objective:To perform two-step clustering analysis based on urodynamics in patients with neurogenic bladder (NB) and exploring characteristics affecting success rate of sacral neuromodulation (SNM).Methods:The data of 174 NB patients who received SNM therapy in our hospital from September 2018 to August 2023, were retrospectively analysed. There were 94 males and 80 females, with average age of (50.4±17.9)years, median duration of 2 (1, 3)years, and body mass index of 21.5 (20, 25) kg/m 2. Among them, 50 patients had chronic diseases (hypertension or diabetes). Additionally, 77 patients (44.3%) presented with voiding symptoms, 47 patients (27.0%) with storage symptoms, and 50 patients (28.7%) with mixed symptoms. The etiologies included spinal cord lesions in 110 patients (63.2%), brain lesions in 21 patients (12.1%), peripheral nerve lesions in 36 patients (20.7%), and other causes in 7 patients (4.0%). All patients underwent urodynamics and SNM phase 1 test. If patient's subjective symptoms or objective indicators improved > 50%, it is defined as treatment success and feasible to received second stage of SNM. The success rate was analyzed. Clinical indicators and urodynamic parameter were collected for exploring the difference of the above indicators between two groups (with or without conversion). The 174 patients were grouped using two-step clustering analysis, dividing them into two groups. The differences in clinical data, urodynamic parameters, and the conversion rate of SNM phase II between the two groups were compared. Results:Among these patients, 126 (72%) underwent the second stage of SNM. Compared with the non-conversion group, patients in the conversion group exhibited the following characteristics: high proportion of female[51.6% (65/126) vs. 31.2% (15/48)], younger[(48.1± 18.3)year vs. (56.4±15.4) year], lower proportion of history of chronic disease[23.9% (30/126) vs. 41.7% (20/48)], storage predominant symptoms predominant[33.3% (42/126) vs. 10.4% (5/48)], sensitive bladder sensation[50.0% (63/126) vs. 11.1% (14/48)], normal detrusor contractility [26.2% (33/126) vs. 10.4% (5/48)] and detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia [21.4% (27/126) vs. 4.2% (2/48)]and lower post-void residual [105.5(49.3, 231.3) ml vs. 197.9(114.8, 284.8) ml], ( P<0.05). After excluding multicollinearity, patients were divided into two group mainly based on coordination, detrusor stability, and detrusor contractility through two-step clustering analysis: 98 patients in Group 1 and 76 patients in Group 2. The success rate was higher in Group 2 [82.9% (63/76) vs. 64.3% (63/98), P=0.006]. Compared with Group 1, Group 2 exhibited the following characteristics: higher proportion of storage symptoms [43.4% (33/76) vs. 14.3% (14/98)], sensitive bladder sensation [67.1% (51/76) vs. 26.5% (26/98)], detrusor overactivity [46.1% (35/76) vs. 3.1% (3/98)], normal detrusor contractility [43.4% (33/76) vs. 5.1% (5/98)], and detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia [38.2% (29/76) vs. 0] ( P all<0.05). Additionally, group 2 had lower post-void residual [69.0 (23.8, 136.6) ml and 197.9 (123.2, 287.4) ml] and smaller bladder capacity [(281.9±144.9) ml vs. (430.4±176.7) ml] ( P all<0.01). Conclusions:Patients with storage symptoms, low post-void residual, sensitive bladder sensation, detrusor overactivity, normal contractility, or detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia indicate a higher conversion rate to second stage, making them more suitable for SNM testing.

OBJECTIVE To review the efficacy and safety of cabozantinib in the treatment of advanced thyroid cancer. METHODS Retrieved from PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov, Wanfang data, VIP, CNKI and China Clinical Trials Registry, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about cabozantinib (trial group) versus placebo (control group) were collected from the inception to Nov. 2022. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS A total of 4 RCTs were included involving 588 patients. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the progression free survival (PFS) [HR=0.24, 95%CI (0.19,0.31), P<0.000 01], objective response rate (ORR) [RR=31.46, 95%CI (6.32,156.75), P<0.000 1], the incidence of grade 3-4 adverse event (AE) [RR=2.15,95%CI (1.76,2.61),P<0.000 01], severe adverse event [RR=1.78,95%CI (1.11,2.83),P=0.02], diarrhea [RR=3.29,95%CI(1.62, 6.66),P=0.001], palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome [RR=28.19,95%CI (12.25,64.88),P<0.000 01], and hypertension [RR=6.50,95%CI (3.90,10.83),P<0.000 01] in trial group were significantly higher than control group; there was no statistical significance in overall survival (OS) [HR=0.83,95%CI (0.67,1.02), P=0.07] or the incidence of fatigue [RR=1.25,95%CI (0.78,1.98),P=0.35] between the two groups. Subgroup analysis showed that PFS and ORR in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) and medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in the trial group were significantly higher than control group (P< 0.05). There was no significant difference in OS of DTC and MTC patients in the trial group compared with the control group (P> 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Cabozantinib can prolong PFS and increase ORR in patients with advanced thyroid cancer, but the incidence of AE is high.
