Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2024;65(21):2173-2177
Systematically combing the origin and characteristics of the classification style of contents in ancient traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) books through the ages, this article put forward that the emergence of the classification by category system for medical books in the Song Dynasty had become a reference for the classification medical book categories in later generations; under the influence of Neo Confucianism, the compilers of medical books in the Ming Dynasty applied the classification method of outline, which made the content of medical books well-organized and hierarchical, and according to the needs of systematic compilation of medical books and different compilation purposes, the classification logic of various medical books had been continuously improved, and breakthroughs had been made in the format, which improved perfecting the development of classification style in ancient comprehensive TCM books; the application of the body part classification method in the compilation of medical books in the Qing Dynasty made the classification of books more rigorous and organized, and the classification system of various medical texts became more mature. By systematically sorting out the characteristics and origins of the classification system of ancient TCM books throughout history is of great significance for comprehensively understanding of the development of ancient TCM books style and the promotion of the collation, protection and use of ancient books.

Objective:To explore the prevalence, clinical features, genetic characteristics and prognosis of Citrin deficiency in Henan province of China.Methods:A total of 986 565 neonates screened by tandem mass spectrometry at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2013 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Analysis of SLC25A13 gene variants and parental verification were carried out for neonates suspected for Citrin deficiency by next-generation sequencing. The clinical, biochemical and genetic characteristics of Citrin deficiency patients were integrated to guide the diet treatment and follow up the growth and development. Paired- t test was used to compare the amino acid levels in the peripheral blood samples before and after the treatment. Results:Nine cases of Citrin deficiency were diagnosed among the 986 565 neonates. Specific elevation of citrulline was observed in all of the 9 cases. Six variants were detected by genetic sequencing, among which c. 852_855delTATG, c. 615+ 5G>A, c. 550C>T and IVS16ins3kb were known pathogenic variants, whilst c. 1111_1112delAT and c. 837T>A were unreported previously. The detection rate for c. 852_855delTATG was the highest (61.6%, 11/18), followed by IVS16ins3kb (16.7%, 3/18). The clinical symptoms of all patients were relieved after the treatment, and the blood amino acid profile and biochemical parameters were significantly improved by gradually falling within the normal range. By June 2022, all patients had shown a good prognosis.Conclusion:The prevalence of Citrin deficiency among neonates from Henan Province by tandem mass spectrometry is 1/109 618, and the carrier rate for the pathogenic variants of the SLC25A13 gene was 1/166. The c. 852_855delTATG may be a hot spot variant among the patients. Discovery of the novel variants has enriched the mutational spectrum of the SLC25A13 gene. Above results have provided a basis for the early diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and genetic counseling for the affected families.

Objective To explore the relationship among peer relationship,self-consciousness and social anxiety in HIV-infected children. Methods Peer Relationship Scale,Piers-Harris Children's Self-con-cept Scale and Social Anxiety Scale for Children were applied to 126 HIV-infected children. Results The score of peer relationship was 53. 0(45. 0,62. 0),the score of self-concept was 52. 0(42. 0,60. 0),and the score of social anxiety was 6. 0(2. 0,9. 0). Peer relationship was positively correlated with social anxiety( r=0. 196,P=0. 029) and negatively correlated with self-consciousness(r=-0. 628,P<0. 01). Self-conscious-ness was negatively correlated with social anxiety(r=-0. 504,P<0. 01). Bootstrap analysis showed that self-consciousness played a complete mediating role between peer relationship and social anxiety,and the media-ting effect value was 0. 377. Conclusion Peer relationship,self-consciousness and social anxiety are closely related. Furthermore,self-consciousness plays a complete mediating role between peer relationship and social anxiety in HIV-infected children.

Background:It is commonly recommended that patients should refrain from driving for 24 hours after sedation for endoscopy,however,this recommendation has been queried recently. Aims:To investigate the effect of sedation on early postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing endoscopy. Methods:One hundred adult patients undergoing sedative esophagogastroduodenoscopy ( EGD ) were randomly recruited, and another 100 adult patients undergoing conventional EGD were served as controls. All patients had an education level more than 9 years. Cognitive function was assessed by number connection test-A( NCT-A),number cancellation test and digit symbol test( DST)before propofol sedation or the beginning of endoscopic procedure and was reassessed when the discharge criteria were met. If the results obtained were inferior to those before EGD,a third assessment was taken 30 minutes later until the results recovered or being superior to the baseline levels. Results:All patients completed the first and second assessment,and 124 patients had taken the third assessment. When the discharge criteria were met,result of number cancellation test was inferior to that before EGD in sedation group( P =0. 000 ). Furthermore,the results were analyzed by grouping with age,number cancellation test in young patients and NCT-A in elderly patients were inferior to that before EGD,respectively(P=0. 000 and P =0. 025 ). In control group,none of the results were inferior to those before EGD. The results of the third assessment recovered or being superior to the baseline levels. Conclusions:Early postoperative cognitive dysfunction at discharge is common in patients undergoing endoscopy using propofol sedation,but the impairment will recover by a prolonged staying calm before discharge. The optimal time for discharge and resuming driving remains to be further studied.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between any two of Capsule Endoscopy ScroringIndex (Lewis score),simplified Crohn Disease Activity Index (CDAI) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in small bowel Crohn disease (CD).MethodsA total of 58 consecutive patients with known small bowel CD were enrolled. We evaluated disease activity with Lewis score and simplified CDAI. Correlations among CRP,simplified CDAI and Lewis score were calculated with Spearman's rank order correlation coefficient.The optimal CRP cut-off value was calculated using the ROC curve.ResultsThe Lewis score showed inactive,mild and moderate-severe patients were 13,21 and 24,respectively.CRP of moderate-severe group was significantly higher than that in mild and inactive groups ( P < 0.05 ).The optimal CRP cut-off value that differentiated patients with moderate to severe disease from the others was 13.50 mg/L with sensitivity of 87.5% and specificity of 82.4%.The area under the ROC curve to analyze the cut-off was 0.849.Lewis score was moderately correlated with CRP (r =0.58,P < 0.01 ),and weakly correlated with the simplified CDAI (r =0.40,P < 0.01 ).ConclusionSerum CRP and the simplified CDAI cannot replace Lewis score for capsule endoscopy in the assessment of disease activity in small bowel CD.However,CRP may be considered as an inflammatory marker for evaluating the moderate to severe capsule endoscopic activity.

Objective To study the long-term effect of argon plasma coagulation (APC) combined with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) on Barrett esophagus (BE). Methods A total of 36 patients, histologically proven as having BE from 2004 to 2007, were enrolled to underwent a therapy of APC plus PPI. The patients were re-examined on endoscopy at 1, 6 and 12 months after first APC and once a year thereafter.Results A total of 48 APC sessions were given to 36 patients with a mean number at 1. 33 per patient. The effective rate of reversal of BE was 100%. The follow-up was accomplished for all patients in 14-51 months with a median of 36months. The total recurrence rate (RR) of BE reached 16. 7% (6/36). The 1-year and 2-year RRs were 2. 8% (1/36) and 11.1% (4/36), respectively. The logistic regression analysis suggested that 2-year and total RRs were related to APC sessions ( P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion The therapy of APC combined with PPI for BE is safe and of long-term effects.

Objective To investigate diagnostic value of colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) for mucosal lesions of patients with active ulcerative colitis. Methods A total of 19 consecutive patients, including 12 males and 7 females, were enrolled from July 2009 to June 2010, with a mean age at 44. 16 + 14.64.Dominant symptoms were hematochezia, diarrhea and abdominal pain, consistent with the criteria of ulcerative colitis. All cases were scored into 3 grades according to severity of mucosal lesions. Using conventionalcolonoscopic findings as golden standard, the consistence of mucosal classification of CCE was calculated with kappa- and P-value. Meanwhile, related data such as the rate of completion, colonic cleanliness and adverse reactions were also collected and analyzed. Results CCE revealed that mild, moderate and severe cases were 2, 8 and 9, respectively, while the 3 types shown by conventional colonoscopy were 3, 8 and 8,respectively. Kappa-value was 0. 826 and P-value was less than 0. 001, which indicated good consistence. In addition, the completion rate of CCE and excellent/fine rate of the colonic cleanliness were 100% (19/19)and 79% ( 15/19), respectively. There were no adverse reactions recorded. Conclusion With high diag-nostic consistency to conventional colonoscopy in classification of mucosa severity, CCE precisely reveals the mucosal lesions of ulcerative colitis and becomes a potential alternative to partially replace conventional colonoscopy, especially in surveillance.
