Da Qinjiaotang is the 54^th formula of the 100 formulas in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Formulas （the first batch） ，and it originated from the Collection of Writings on the Mechanism of Disease， Suitability of Qi， and Safeguarding of Life Discussed in Plain Questions. Da Qinjiaotang is composed of Gentiana macrophylla， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， Ligusticum chuanxiong， Angelica sinensis， Paeonia lactiflora， Asari Radix et Rhizoma， Notopterygium incisum， Saposhnikoviae Radix， Scutellariae Radix， Gypsum， Angelica dahurica， Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma， Rehmanniae Radix， Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata， Poria， and Angelicae Pubescentis Radix. It is a classical formula for treating strokes. Da Qinjiaotang is widely used in modern clinical practices for treating ischemic stroke， peripheral facial paralysis， cervical spondylosis， rheumatic arthritis， neurodermatitis， and other multisystem diseases. Therefore， following the Principles of Textual Research on the Key Information of Ancient Classical Famous Formulas， the authors collected the ancient Chinese medical literature of Da Qinjiaotang by the method of bibliometrics and screened out 177 valid data， involving 100 ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on the historical evolution， composition， dosage， method of preparation， and preparation of the original medicinal materials of Da Qinjiaotang， a systematic study was carried out. It was found that among the 175 records of the main diseases and syndromes， stroke （144） was the most， accounting for 82.29% of the total diseases and syndromes. Later generations mostly followed the practice of LIU Wansu in using Da Qinjiaotang to treat stroke caused by "weak blood and inability to nourish tendon"， featuring "hands and feet cannot move， stiff tongue hinders speaking"， as well as other symptoms， such as slant of the mouth， hemiplegia， numbness of the limbs， paroxysmal pain， and acerbic syncope. The treatment scope was expanded， covering tendon dryness， clonic convulsion， spasm syndrome， and arthralgia syndrome. At the same time， it was found that there was a controversy between "internal wind" and "external wind" in the treatment of stroke by Da Qinjiaotang. LIU Wansu thought that stroke was caused by internal factors， created the theory of "hot stroke"， and used Da Qinjiaotang to treat "internal wind". Many doctors in later generations focused on treating the "external wind" of "internal deficiency and evil". There were 76 valid data on the composition of drugs， 59 of which had doses for each drug. It was suggested to use the modern conversion dosage of the original formula， with 41.30 g per dose. The drug should be boiled in 600 mL water until 300 mL， decocted once， and taken in a warm state after removing the dregs anytime. Through the analysis and study of the ancient books about Da Qinjiaotang， the paper clarified its historical evolution and confirmed its key information， so as to provide the ancient literature evidence for the research and development of the classical famous formula Daqinjiaotan and its better clinical application.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tyrosine kinase inhibitors （TKI） in the treatment of HER2- positive breast cancer in order to provide evidence-based evidence for clinical medication. METHODS Retrieved from CNKI， Wanfang database， VIP， PubMed， Cochrane Library， Embase and Web of Science， randomized controlled trial （RCT） about TKI （trial group） versus drugs excluding TKI （control group） in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer were collected from the establishment of the database to April 2023. Meta-analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed by using RevMan 5.4.1 and Stata 17 software. RESULTS Total of 24 RCT studies were included， involving 15 538 HER2-positive breast cancer patients. The meta- analysis results showed that compared with the control group， the progression-free survival （PFS） [HR＝0.91， 95%CI （0.80， 1.02）， P＝0.12]， overall survival （OS） [HR＝0.95， 95%CI （0.89， 1.01）， P＝0.11]， objective response rate （ORR） [OR＝1.21， 95%CI （0.86， 1.69）， P＝0.27]， and pathological complete response rate （pCR） [OR＝1.44， 95%CI （0.91， 2.27）， P＝0.12] had no statistically significant difference in the trial group； among the 3/4 grade ADRs， the trial group had a higher incidence of anemia [OR＝1.77， 95%CI （1.16，2.70）， P＝0.008]， rash [OR＝11.26， 95%CI （7.32，17.31）， P＜0.000 01]， paronychia [OR＝8.67， 95%CI（1.62，46.53）， P＝0.01]， diarrhea [OR＝10.17， 95%CI（5.03，20.58）， P＜0.000 01]， oral mucositis inflammation [OR＝ 9.34， 95%CI （3.13， 27.83）， P＜0.000 1]， elevated aspartate aminotransferase [OR＝2.09， 95%CI （1.13，3.84）， P＝0.02]， and hypokalemia [OR＝2.37， 95%CI （1.31，4.30）， P＝0.005] than that of the control group. Subgroup analysis results showed that compared with the placebo group， TKI could improve OS and ORR （P＜0.05）， while compared with trastuzumab， TKI had no advantage in PFS， OS， ORR， and pCR， and TKI combined with trastuzumab could significantly improve PFS， OS， ORR， and pCR compared with the trastuzumab group （P＜ 0.05）. Sensitivity analysis suggested that the results were relatively robust and the risk of publication bias was low. CONCLUSIONS Compared with trastuzumab， TKI has no advantages in PFS， OS， ORR and pCR in the treatment of HER2- positive breast cancer， but TKI combined with trastuzumab can significantly improve PFS， OS， ORR and pCR； TKI can increase the risk of grade 3/4 anemia， rash， paronychia， diarrhea， oral mucositis， elevated aspartate aminotransferase， and hypokalemia.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between the expression levels of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1(TIMP-1)and drosophila mothers against DDP homolog 4(Smad4)in vocal cord precancerous lesions and postoperative recurrence and malignant transformation.METHODS The clinical and pathological data of 162 patients with vocal cord precancerous lesions admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2018 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The expression of TIMP-1 and Smad4 in the surgically removed precancerous tissues(precancerous lesion group)and adjacent normal mucosal tissues(control group)were detected by immunohistochemical method.The relationship between the positive rate of TIMP-1 and Smad4 and clinicopathological features was analyzed.Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis were used to analyze the effect on postoperative recurrence and malignant transformation.RESULTS Compared with the normal mucosa of the control group,the positive rate of TIMP-1 was higher and the positive rate of Smad4 was lower in the precancerous lesion group(P<0.05).The positive rates of TIMP-1 and Smad4 in patients with different lesion ranges,anterior commissure involvement and different degree of epithelial dysplasia were different(P<0.05).Postoperative follow-up lasted from 24 to 60 months,with a median follow-up time of 36 months.During the follow-up,6 patients were lost to follow-up,with a follow-up rate of 96.30%(156/162).During the follow-up,35 patients had postoperative recurrence(21.60%)and 16 patients had postoperative malignant transformation(9.88%).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the postoperative recurrence rate and malignant change rate of TIMP-1 positive patients were higher than those of TIMP-1 negative patients(P<0.05),amd the recurrence rate and malignant change rate of Smad4-negative patients were higher than those of Smad4-positive patients(P<0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that laryngeal reflux,lesion scope>1/2,moderate/severe dysplasia,TIMP-1 positive and Smad4 negative were independent risk factors for recurrence(P<0.05),and age>60 years old,anterior union involved,TIMP-1 positive and Smad4 negative were independent risk factors for malignant transformation(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The patients with high expression of TIMP-1 and low expression of Smad4,positive expression of TIMP-1 and negative expression of Smad4 have higher risk of postoperative recurrence and malignant transformation.

Objective To investigate the relationship between circKIF4A expression and clinicopathologic features and prognosis of thyroid cancer patients.Methods A total of 120 patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer in our hospital from April 2016 to April 2017 were selected by random sampling method.Cancer tissues and adjacent tissues were taken during surgery and divided into thyroid cancer group and adjacent cancer group according to surgical pathologic detection.The relative expression level of circKIF4A in thyroid cancer group and paracancer group was detected by qRT-PCR,and the relationship between circKIF4A expression and clini-copathological features of thyroid cancer was analyzed.Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the relationship between circKIF4A expression and prognosis of thyroid cancer patients.Cox regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors influencing the poor prognosis of patients with thyroid cancer 5 years af-ter surgery.Results The relative expression level of circKIF4A in thyroid cancer group was higher than that in paracancer group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The expression of circKIF4A was correlated with the degree of capsule invasion,lymph node metastasis and differentiation(P＜0.05).Kap-lan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the 5-year cumulative survival rate of patients with high cir-cKIF4A expression was lower than those with low circKIF4A expression,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=11.368,P=0.001).Multivariate analysis showed that envelope invasion,degree of differenti-ation,lymph node metastasis and circKIF4A expression level were the influencing factors for poor prognosis of thyroid cancer patients at 5 years after surgery(P＜0.05).Conclusion circKIF4A is highly expressed in thy-roid cancer tissues,which is related to the clinicopathological features and 5-year postoperative survival of thy-roid cancer patients,and may be used as a potential prognostic marker for thyroid cancer.

Objective:To understand intensive care unit(ICU)doctors'opinions and suggestions on implementing palliative care,and provides a reference basis for the implementation of palliative care in Chinese ICU.Methods:A purposive sampling technique was used to conduct one-on-one semi-structured interviews with 11 ICU doctors.Colaizzi's phenomenological analysis method was utilized to code,classify,interpret,and comprehensively analyze the interview data.Results:A total of 4 themes and 18 sub-themes was extracted,including cognitive biases toward palliative care,the belief that implementing palliative care in the ICU has significant humanistic implications(palliative care practice is the most perfect embodiment of medical humanities,palliative care in the ICU can alleviate patient pain and reduce invasive operations,palliative care can achieve comfortable care for ICU patients,palliative care focuses on maintaining the dignity of ICU patients,palliative care can pay attention to the inner voice of ICU patients,and implementing palliative care will help to more effectively allocate resources),difficulties faced by ICU in carrying out palliative care(lack of clarity in relevant policies at the legal level,closed management environment in the ICU,insufficient manpower in the ICU and lack of palliative care professional team,inadequate understanding of ICU patients'families,lack of death education,not included in medical insurance payments,and lack of communication skills of young doctors),strategies to promote the development of palliative care in the ICU(ICU palliative care can be piloted first,the development of ICU palliative care screening tools will help with the development of palliative care,the palliative environment and the handling of death procedures can be further optimized,and the application and implementation of scientific methods to shorten the gap between evidence and practice of palliative care).Conclusions:The integration of palliative care and ICU in China is still blank.The significance of implementing palliative care in ICU should be emphasized,ICU doctors'knowledge and skills of palliative care should be improved from multiple perspectives,patient preference should be emphasized to improve the knowledge and acceptance of palliative care of ICU patients'families,and the promotion of palliative care in ICU clinical practice should be pioneered and piloted.

AIM:To investigate the therapeutic effects of chrysin on nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH).METHODS:Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,and chrysin group.The mice in control group were fed with normal diet,and those in model and chrysin groups were fed with methio-nine-and choline-deficient(MCD)diet.After 5 weeks of adaptation,the mice in chrysin group received chrysin treatment(20 mg/kg)by continuous lavage for 6 weeks,while those in control and model groups were given equal volume of saline.During the experiment,the health condition of the mice was monitored.Liver morphology was examined after the mice were sacrificed.Serum triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-den-sity lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)levels were measured using a biochemical analyzer.Liver tissue TG and TC levels were measured using assay kits.Liver cell damage and inflammation were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and F4/80 immunohistochemistry staining.The ex-tent of liver lipid deposition was explored by oil red O staining.Masson staining and Sirius red staining were performed to assess liver fibrosis.Immunohistochemistry was performed to analyze the expression of fibrosis-related molecules.RE-SULTS:Compared with control group,the mice in model group showed significant decrease in body weight,liver wet weight,and liver volume.Serum TG,LDL-C,ALT and AST levels,as well as liver TG and TC levels were significantly elevated,and HDL-C levels were decreased in model group.Pathological staining showed significant inflammatory cell in-filtration,lipid deposition,and liver fibrosis.After the treatment with chrysin,increased body weight and liver weight,a reddish appearance of the liver,relatively smooth surface,and sharp liver edges were observed.Serum TG,LDL-C,AST and ALT levels,and liver TG levels were significantly reduced by chrysin.Inflammatory cell infiltration,lipid deposition,and liver tissue fibrosis were also significantly attenuated by chrysin.CONCLUSION:Chrysin shows a potential as a can-didate drug for the treatment of NASH by inhibiting hepatic steatosis,inflammation,and liver fibrosis.

Objective To explore the efficacy of blunt separation method in midline catheter intubation in elderly patients with coagulation dysfunction.Methods A total of 80 elderly patients with coagulation dysfunction were selected in the convenience sampling method from October 2022 to April 2023 in our hospital,and they were randomly divided into an experimental(blunt)group and a control(routine)group,with 40 patients in each group.The differences in the degree of bleeding and exudation at the puncture site,the pain score and the incidence of complications(including bleeding and exudation,phlebitis,symptomatic catheter-related thrombus,catheter blockage,catheter pulling-off)were compared between 2 groups.Results In the experimental group,the degree of bleeding and exudation at the puncture point immediately after the operation,degree of bleeding and exudation at the puncture point 24 hours after the operation,pain score 1 day after the catheterization,pain score 3 days after the catheterization,incidence of bleeding and exudation,total incidence of complications and maintenance times were significantly lower than these in the control group(P＜0.05).In terms of the pain score immediately after the operation,pain score 5 days after the operation,incidence of phlebitis,incidence of symptomatic catheter-related thrombosis,incidence of catheter blockage,incidence of catheter pulling-off,incidence of catheter related skin injury,incidence of unplanned extubation,success rate of one-time sheath delivery and the indwelling time,the differences between the experimental group and control group were not significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The application of blunt separation method in midline catheter indwelling can significantly reduce the incidence and degree of bleeding at the puncture point,decrease the maintenance times and relieve the pain in elderly patients with coagulation dysfunction.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects and potential mechanism of asperuloside （ASP） on colonic pathological injury and inflammatory response in rats with ulcerative colitis （UC） based on the stimulator of interferon genes （STING）/TANK binding kinase 1 （TBK1）/interferon regulatory factor 3 （IRF3） signaling pathway. METHODS A UC rat model was established by intrarectal injection of trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid and ethanol. The successfully modeled rats were allocated to model group， low- dose ASP group （17.5 mg/kg）， high-dose ASP group （35 mg/kg）， and high-dose ASP+STING activator ADU-S100 group （35 mg/kg ASP+20 mg/kg ADU-S100）， with 16 rats in each group. Another 16 healthy rats were selected as control group， by intrarectally injecting with normal saline. The rats in each group were given the corresponding drug solutions or normal saline by gavage or/and intraperitoneal injection once a day for 14 consecutive days. Twenty-four hours after the last administration， the disease activity index （DAI） and colonic mucosal damage index （CMDI） were employed to assess the severity of UC and colonic mucosal damage in each group. Colonic tissue pathological changes were observed， and histopathological scores were recorded. Apoptosis in colonic tissue， levels of inflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interferon-β （IFN-β）， interleukin-4 （IL-4）， IL-10]， and expressions of pathway-related proteins [STING， TBK1， IRF3， nuclear factor-κB p65 （NF-κB p65）] were detected. RESULTS Compared with the control group， the model group showed severe destruction of colonic mucosa and glandular structure， mucosal epithelial erosion， crypt loss， marked inflammatory cell infiltration； it also demonstrated significant increase in DAI score， CMDI score， colonic histopathological score， apoptosis rate， the levels of TNF-α and IFN-β， and protein expression of STING and phosphorylation levels of TBK1， IRF3 and NF-κB p65， while the levels of IL-4 and IL-10 were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the low- and high-dose ASP groups showed relatively intact colonic mucosal structure， orderly glandular arrangement， reduced congestion and edema， and markedly reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and ulcers； all quantitative indicators were significantly improved， with the high-dose group showing more pronounced improvements than the low-dose group （P＜0.05）. Compared with the high-dose ASP group， the above indicators of rats in the high-dose ASP+STING activator group were significantly reversed （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ASP may alleviate colonic pathological injury and inflammatory response in UC rats by inhibiting the STING/TBK1/IRF3 signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the relationship between glycemic instability index(GLI),peripheral blood CD4+/CD8+,neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),red blood cell distribution width(RDW),neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL),and the occurrence,condition and prognosis of stroke-associated pneumonia(SAP).Methods According to the occurrence of SAP within 7 d after onset,550 patients with acute cerebral infarction were divided into the study group(129 cases with SAP)and the control group(421 cases without SAP).GLI,peripheral blood CD4+/CD8+,NLR,RDW and NGAL levels were measured.The differences in the above indicators were compared between the study group and the control group,as well as SAP patients with different conditions and prognoses.The relationship between above indicators and the occurrence,condition and prognosis of SAP was discussed.The prognostic values of each indicator and combination of indicators were analyzed.Results GLI,NLR,RDW and NGAL levels were higher in the study group,the medium to high risk group and the poor prognosis group than those in the control group,the low-risk group and the good prognosis group.CD4+/CD8+was lower than that in the corresponding group(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that higher GLI and NLR were independent risk factors for acute cerebral infarction complicated with SAP,and higher GLI,NLR,RDW and NGAL were independent risk factors for the medium to high risk conditions in SAP patients,while higher levels of CD4+/CD8+were protective factor for high-risk diseases in patients with concurrent SAP and SAP(P＜0.05).Higher GLI,NLR and RDW were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with SAP(P＜0.05).ROC curves indicated that the AUC of the combination of GLI,NLR and RDW for evaluating poor prognosis in patients with SAP was better than that of GLI or RDW.Conclusion Changes in GLI,CD4+/CD8+and NLR are influencing factors for the occurrence of SAP.GLI,CD4+/CD8+,NLR,RDW and NGAL are influencing factors for the severity of SAP patients.GLI,NLR and RDW are associated with poor prognosis in SAP patients,and all three have certain predictive effective in predicting the prognosis of SAP patients,and NLR has the highest predictive efficacy.
