ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Zhuyuwan in the treatment of hyperlipidemia. MethodsIn this study, hyperlipidemia patients treated in the Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from September 2022 to December 2023 were randomly assigned into a control group and an observation group. Finally, 162 valid cases were included, encompassing 74 cases in the control group and 88 cases in the observation group. The control group was treated with atorvastatin calcium tablets, and the observation group with atorvastatin calcium tablets + Zhuyuwan extract granules. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks. The efficacy in terms of blood lipid level recovery, blood lipid levels, TCM syndrome distribution, efficacy in terms of TCM syndrome, and TCM symptom scores were compared between the two groups as well as between before and after treatment. Liver and kidney functions were monitored for safety assessment. ResultsIn terms of blood lipid level recovery, the total response rate in the observation group was 86.36% (76/88) and that in the control group was 86.49% (64/74), with no statistically significant difference between the two groups. After treatment, both groups showed declines in levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (P<0.05) and elevations in the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (P<0.05). Moreover, the observation group outperformed the control group in recovering the levels of TG, LDL-C, and HDL-C (P<0.05, P<0.01). In terms of TCM syndrome, hyperlipidemia was mostly caused by phlegm turbidity and obstruction. The total response rate in terms of TCM syndrome in the observation group was 87.30% (55/63), which was higher than that (63.46%, 33/52) in the control group (χ2=9.102, P<0.01). After treatment, the scores of total TCM symptoms, primary symptoms, and secondary symptoms decreased in both groups (P<0.05), and the observation group had lower scores than the control group (P<0.01). The observation group was superior to the control group in alleviating obesity, chest tightness, and low food intake (P<0.05). In terms of safety, the level of aminotransferase was slightly elevated in the control group, and no obvious adverse reaction was observed in the observation group, with no statistical significance in the incidence of adverse reactions. ConclusionZhuyuwan combined with atorvastatin can not only recover blood lipid levels and alleviate TCM symptoms but also reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions.

OBJECTIVES:
Shelter hospital was an alternative way to provide large-scale medical isolation and treatment for people with mild coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Due to various reasons, patients admitted to the large shelter hospital was reported high level of psychological distress, so did the healthcare workers. This study aims to introduce a comprehensive and multifaceted psychosocial crisis intervention model.
METHODS:
The psychosocial crisis intervention model was provided to 200 patients and 240 healthcare workers in Wuhan Wuchang shelter hospital. Patient volunteers and organized peer support, client-centered culturally sensitive supportive care, timely delivery of scientific information about COVID-19 and its complications, mental health knowledge acquisition of non-psychiatric healthcare workers, group activities, counseling and education, virtualization of psychological intervention, consultation and liaison were exhibited respectively in the model. Pre-service survey was done in 38 patients and 49 healthcare workers using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire 2-item (PHQ-2) scale, and the Primary Care PTSD screen for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (PC-PTSD-5). Forty-eight healthcare workers gave feedback after the intervention.
RESULTS:
The psychosocial crisis intervention model was successfully implemented by 10 mental health professionals and was well-accepted by both patients and healthcare workers in the shelter hospital. In pre-service survey, 15.8% of 38 patients were with anxiety, 55.3% were with stress, and 15.8% were with depression; 16.3% of 49 healthcare workers were with anxiety, 26.5% were with stress, and 22.4% were with depression. In post-service survey, 62.5% of 48 healthcare workers thought it was very practical, 37.5% thought more practical; 37.5% of them thought it was very helpful to relief anxiety and insomnia, and 27.1% thought much helpful; 37.5% of them thought it was very helpful to recognize patients with anxiety and insomnia, and 29.2% thought much helpful; 35.4% of them thought it was very helpful to deal with patients' anxiety and insomnia, and 37.5% thought much helpful.

Objective:To investigate the change of the detection rate of colorectal cancer (CRC), colorectal adenoma and advanced adenoma in adults under colonoscopy in Shihezi in the past ten years.Methods:Data of patients who completed colonoscopy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University School of Medicine from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019 were investigated. The medical records were collected by consulting the electronic medical record system, including the age and sex of patients and the location, quantity, size and pathological type of lesions. The detection rates, including the overall detection rate in the past 10 years, those in the first 5 years (from 2010 to 2014) and the second 5 years (from 2015 to 2019) of colorectal adenomas, advanced colorectal adenomas and CRC, were studied.Results:A total of 50 645 cases were included, 14 931 cases were excluded by the exclusion criteria, and finally a total of 35 714 cases were included in the data analysis. The 10-year overall detection rates of colorectal adenoma, advanced colorectal adenoma and CRC were 17.65% (6 302/35 714), 4.45% (1 589/35 714) and 3.71% (1 324/35 714), respectively. The overall detection rates of colorectal adenoma and advanced colorectal adenoma in the second 5 years were higher respectively than those in the first 5 years [20.33% (4 565/22 457) VS 13.10% (1 737/13 257), 4.69% (1 053/22 457) VS 4.04% (536/13 257)]. The overall detection rate of CRC in the second 5 years [3.30% (741/22 457)] was lower than that in the first 5 years [4.40% (583/13 257)].Conclusion:Compared with 2010 to 2014, the detection rate of colorectal adenoma in Shihezi area in 2015 to 2019 increased significantly, the detection rate of advanced colorectal adenoma increased slightly, and the detection rate of CRC decreased slightly. Therefore, the detection and resection of colorectal adenoma by colonoscopy may be important in reducing the incidence of CRC.

Objective:To make a self-made fall/fall protection cover and explore its application effect.Methods:Five high-risk fall wards in Songjiang District Central Hospital were selected as the pilot wards. According to the length of stay, 80 elderly patients treated from June to December in 2020 were selected as the control group and 80 patients treated from January to June in 2021 were selected as the experimental group. The control group was treated with routine fall prevention / bed falling intervention measures, and the experimental group was treated with self-made fall prevention / bed falling protective cover on the basis of routine intervention measures. The incidence of falling/falling bed, physical restraint rate, comfort and satisfaction of hospitalized patients were compared between the two groups.Results:During the study period, there was no fall in the experimental group and one patient in the control group. The incidence of fall was 0.125 ‰ (1/8 000) ( t=-0.06, P>0.05). The rate of physical restraint was 8.75%(875/10 000) in the experimental group, and 26.25%(2 100/8 000) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant( t=-5.51, P<0.05). The scores of comfort and satisfaction were (93.43 ± 13.01), (134.50 ± 15.56) points in the experimental group and (81.68 ± 13.41), (111.88 ± 16.22) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t=8.03, 12.92, both P<0.05). Conclusions:The self-made fall / fall protection cover can reduce the utilization rate of physical constraints, improve the overall comfort of patients, improve patients′ satisfaction.It has clinical promotion value.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of iterative model reconstruction (IMR) on image quality for demonstrating non-calcific high-risk plaque characteristics of coronary arteries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 66 patients (53 men and 13 women; aged 39–76 years; mean age, 55 ± 13 years) having single-vessel disease with predominantly non-calcified plaques evaluated using prospective electrocardiogram-gated 256-slice CT angiography. Paired image sets were created using two types of reconstruction: hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR) and IMR. Plaque characteristics were compared using the two algorithms. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the images and the CNR between the plaque and adjacent adipose tissue were also compared between the two reformatted methods. RESULTS: Seventy-seven predominantly non-calcified plaques were detected. Forty plaques showed napkin-ring sign with the IMR reformatted method, while nineteen plaques demonstrated napkin-ring sign with HIR. There was no statistically significant difference in the presentation of positive remodeling, low attenuation plaque, and spotty calcification between the HIR and IMR reconstructed methods (all p > 0.5); however, there was a statistically significant difference in the ability to discern the napkin-ring sign between the two algorithms (χ2 = 12.12, p < 0.001). The image noise of IMR was lower than that of HIR (10 ± 2 HU versus 12 ± 2 HU; p < 0.01), and the SNR and CNR of the images and the CNR between plaques and surrounding adipose tissues on IMR were better than those on HIR (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: IMR can significantly improve image quality compared with HIR for the demonstration of coronary artery and atherosclerotic plaques using a 256-slice CT.
