The main active ingredients were Tanshinone II A, Isorhamnetin, Quercetin, Luteolin, Kampferol, β-sitosterol, Stigmasterol, etc. The key targets were albumin, interleukin 6, Tumor necrosis factor , serine/threonine kinase 1, vascular endothelial growth factor A , mainly enriching in the positive regulation of cell migration, cell viability, protein phosphorylation, responsing to growth factors, oxidative stress and other biological processes and lipid and atherosclerosis, MAPK, atherosclerosis and fluid shear force, AGE-RAGE, IL-17, PI3K-Akt and other signaling pathways. Conclusion The mechanism of action of Danshen Baizhu prescription for coronary heart disease, vascular dementia and idiopathic membranous nephropathy may mainly play a role in multiple targets and pathways such as inhibition of inflammation, inhibition of oxidative stress, and vasodilation.

The method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis refers to the use of traditional Chinese medicine with a dispersing effect that can eliminate blood stasis in the body to treat the syndrome of blood stasis, which has the effects of unblocking blood vessels, dissipating stasis, regulating menstruation and relieving pain and are widely used for conditions such as chest tightness, heartache, dementia, menstrual disorders caused by blood stasis. Common medicines include Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, Panax notoginseng （Burkill）, Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort, Radix Curcumae, etc. Blood activating and stasis removing drugs generally have the effects of improving microcirculation, relaxing blood vessels, inhibiting thromboxane formation, and inhibiting platelet aggregation. They have good therapeutic effects on blood stasis syndrome in diseases such as coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, and vascular dementia. The research progress on traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine on the treatment of vascular dementia with blood activating and stasis removing drugs were reviewed, in order to provide reference for the clinical application of blood activating and stasis removing methods in the treatment of vascular dementia.

Objective To investigate the effect of compassion focused therapy on cognitive function and sense of shame in stroke patients with hemiplegia.Methods A total of 100 stroke patients with hemiplegia admitted in our hospital were included as the research objects.The patients were randomly divided into a control group admitted from December 2020 to December 2021 and an observation group admitted from January 2022 to January 2023,with 50 patients per group.The patients in the control group received cognitive behavioural therapy,while those in the observation group received compassion focused therapy as well as cognitive behavioural therapy.The sense of shame,cognitive function,self-criticism and social anxiety in the two groups were observed and compared before and at the end of the intervention.Results The score of the sense of shame in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.001).The cognitive function score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group at the end of intervention(P<0.05).and the score of the sense of shame scale in the observation group was lower than that in the control group at the end of the intervention(all P<0.05).Conclusion Compassion focused therapy can significantly reduce the self-criticism and sense of shame in the stroke patients with hemiplegia,and promote the recovery of the cognitive function.

ObjectiveTaking Shengxuebao as the model traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）， this study aims to explore the methodologies and transfer patterns in the composition changes of TCM compound preparations from liquid to solid dosage forms. MethodBased on the previously established ultra-high performance liquid chromatography（UPLC） qualitative and quantitative methods for Shengxuebao， the fingerprint profiles of three preparations of Shengxuebao（homemade decoction， commercially available granules and mixtures） were established， and nineteen components were quantitatively analyzed. The similarities of fingerprint profiles among these three preparations were assessed using the Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM（2012 edition） and the total quantum statistical moment similarity method， respectively. The molecular connectivity index （MCI） and the average molar MCI of the chemical components in the three preparations were calculated. Seventy-two MCI values across 0-8 orders， including 8 subclasses， were calculated. The average molar MCI of 0-3 orders was used to study the "imprint template" structural characteristics and transfer patterns of the medicinal component groups. ResultThe similarities of the fingerprint profile of the decoction with those of the control， granules， and mixtures were 0.971， 0.888 and 0.799， respectively， indicating that the chemical composition of the granules and mixtures differed from that of the decoction， and that the 19 components were able to basically respond to the overall situation of the component group of Shengxuebao decoction. The total mass fractions of the detectable major components in Shengxuebao decoction， granules and mixtures was measured to be 5.498 6， 2.282 0， 1.416 6 mg·g^-1， respectively. The average molar MCI of 0-3 orders showed a gradual decrease across the three preparations， with the trend of decoction>granules>mixtures， indicating subtle changes in the overall structural characteristics of the chemical components in the samples of the three preparations. ConclusionAmong the three formulations of Shengxuebao， the traditional decoction contained the highest variety and quantity of components and carried the most substantial amount of component information， with a decreasing order observed in the granules and mixtures. This study further validates that traditional decoction is a reliable and fundamental dosage form， providing a reference for the modernization of TCM dosage forms and the quality consistency evaluation of compound preparations.

Objective To explore the effects of expressive writing on repetitive negative thinking(RNT)and anxiety and depression in new recruits,and to compare the effectiveness of different writing intervals on the training effects.Methods A total of 262 new recruits of a troop were sampled using cluster sampling and then divided into 3 groups based on their own organizational company.There were 2 groups receiving RNT-focused expressive writing,including 6-week group(n=90),once a week for 6 consecutive weeks,and 6-day group(n=83)once a day for 6 consecutive days,as well as a control group without any intervention(control group,n=89).Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire(PTQ),Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS),and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)were used to survey all participants at following 3 time points:before intervention(T0),at the end of intervention(T1)and 1 month after intervention(T2).Results There were no significant differences in demographic information and psychological indicators among the 3 groups before the intervention.After intervention,the scores of RNT,depression,and anxiety were significantly lower in the 6-week group at T1 and T2 than the baseline levels(T0)(P＜0.01).The 6-day group showed a tendency of increasing and then decreasing in the 3 scores,the scores of RNT and depression were significantly higher at T1 than T0(P＜0.01),then all 3 scores fell back at T2,and the scores of depression and anxiety at T2 were significantly lower than at T0(P＜0.01).No significant changes were observed in these psychological indicators in the control group before and after training.Conclusion RNT-focused expressive writing for 6 weeks can reduce RNT and relieve emotions such as depression and anxiety in new recruits,but similar effects are not observed in the 6-day consecutive writing program.So,we recommend a 6-week writing intervention to promote mental health in new recruits.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Background::Limited information exists regarding the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on psoriasis patients. The objective of this study was to identify clinical factors associated with the prognosis of psoriasis following SARS-CoV-2 infection.Methods::A retrospective, multicenter study was conducted between March and May 2023. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to identify factors associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related psoriasis outcomes. The study included 2371 psoriasis patients from 12 clinical centers, with 2049 of them having been infected with SARS-CoV-2.Results::Among the infected groups, lower exacerbation rates were observed in individuals treated with biologics compared to those receiving traditional systemic or nonsystemic treatments (22.3% [236/1058] vs. 39.8% [92/231] vs. 37.5% [140/373], P <0.001). Psoriasis progression with lesions (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 8.197, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 5.685–11.820, compared to no lesions), hypertension (adjusted OR = 1.582, 95% CI = 1.068–2.343), traditional systemic (adjusted OR = 1.887, 95% CI= 1.263–2.818), and nonsystemic treatment (adjusted OR= 1.602, 95% CI= 1.117–2.297) were found to be associated with exacerbation of psoriasis after SARS-CoV-2 infection, but not biologics (adjusted OR = 0.931, 95% CI = 0.680–1.274, compared to no treatment), according to multivariable logistic regression analysis. Conclusions::A reduced risk of psoriasis exacerbation after SARS-CoV-2 infection was observed with biologics compared to traditional systemic and nonsystemic treatments. Significant risk factors for exacerbation after infection were identified as existing psoriatic lesions and hypertension.

Objective To investigate the intervention efficacy of best possible self (BPS)on the mental health of new recruits (including state optimism and pessimism,perceived stress and subjective well-being).Methods A non-randomized controlled trial was conducted on 212 new recruits subjected with cluster sampling from an army unit in a training base for new recruits in September 2023.Based on their organizational structure,they were divided into a study group (n=100,receiving BPS intervention 15 min/d,for 2 consecutive weeks)and a control group[n=112,typical day (TD)intervention,15 min/d,same period].Future Expectancy Scale (FEX),Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS),Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS ) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS ) were used to measure the 2 groups of participants at T0 (baseline),T1 (end of the first week of intervention),T2 (end of the second week of intervention)and T3 (1 week after the end of intervention)in order to evaluate the intervention efficacy on above mentioned mental health indicators.Results There were no significant differences in demographic and baseline psychological variables listed above between the 2 groups.However,as the training progressed,obvious differences were observed in the training effects on state pessimism,perceived stress and subjective well-being (including affective and cognitive well-being)between them.When compared with the baseline data (T0),the study group had notably reduced state pessimism (P<0.01)and elevated affective (P<0.001) and cognitive well-being (P<0.001)during T1 and T3,and decreased perceived stress at T1 (P<0.05)and T3 (P<0.001).However,no such changes of above indicators were observed in the control group before and after training.Conclusion A 2-week BPS intervention can effectively reduce state pessimism and perceived stress,promote subjective well-being,and improve mental health in new recruits during new recruit training.

Objective:To investigate pathological features and differential diagnosis in the gonads with disorder of sex development.Methods:Thirty-six cases of clinically diagnosed hermaphroditism with gonadal biopsy in the Department of Pathology, the Seventh Medical Center of People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from April 2007 to July 2021, were collected. All biopsy pathological sections were reviewed, and the gonadal cases with abnormal pathological morphology were screened out. The clinical and imaging data and karyotype of these cases were reviewed. Additional immunohistochemical staining was performed and relevant literature was reviewed.Results:Seven cases of ovotesticular disorder of sex development (OTDSD) were identified, which were characterized by the presence of testicular and ovarian differentiation in the same individual. All patients were under 15 years old and presented with abnormal appearance of external genitalia, and the ratio of male to female was 2∶5. Ultrasonography showed testicular structure in all female patients and cryptorchidism in all male patients. The most common karyotype was 46, XX. One case with undifferentiated gonadal tissue (UGT) and one case with streak gonads were screened out. UGT germ cells were neither in seminiferous tubules nor in follicles, but randomly distributed in an ovarial-type interstitial background, sometimes accompanied by immature sex cords. Streak gonads resembled UGT without germ cells. FOXL2 was positive in granulosa cells, but negative in Sertoli cells. SOX9 expression was opposite. OCT4 was weakly positively/negatively expressed in oocytes and positively expressed in the germ nuclei of UGT.Conclusions:Four differentiation patterns need to be identified in the gonadal biopsy: ovarian differentiation, testicular differentiation, undifferentiated gonadal tissue and streak gonad. The positive expression of SOX9 indicates testicular differentiation, while the positive expression of FOXL2 confirms ovarian differentiation, and the expression of both markers in the same tissue indicates ovotestis differentiation. It is very important to identify UGT, because that has a high probability of developing into gonadoblastoma in the future.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological and molecular genetic features of POLE mutant endometrioid carcinoma.Methods:Genetic test data of 230 cases of endometrial carcinoma that underwent surgical resection and molecular typing by next generation sequencing in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2021 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Seventeen cases of endometrioid carcinoma with POLE mutation were selected. Clinical and prognostic information was collected. The paraffin-embedded tissue and immunohistochemical sections were reviewed, and the gene detection data were analyzed.Results:In the 17 cases of endometrioid carcinoma with POLE mutations, 16 cases (16/230, 6.9%) had mutations at known pathogenic sites, and 1 case had a mutation site (S459Y) that had not been reported, which was inferred to be pathogenic based on clinical prognosis. The 17 patients aged from 48 to 79 years (median 56 years, mean 58 years). All cases had typical histological features of endometrioid carcinoma, including 7 cases (7/17) of poorly-differentiated, 4 cases (4/17) of moderately-differentiated and 6 cases (6/17) of well-differentiated. Squamous differentiation was noted, mucous differentiation was less commonly found and often accompanied by superficial muscle infiltration. The number of stromal lymphocyte infiltration was variable. Lymph-vascular embolus was found in 6 cases, and lymph node metastasis was only detected in 1 case. According to the FIGO staging system for endometrial cancer in 2023, all the cases were in FIGO stage ⅠA m-POLEmut except for one case in FIGO stage ⅢC1. There were 8 cases with genetic co-mutation, 5 cases with TP53 mutation (immunohistochemically subclonal expression pattern), 1 case with MSI-H, and 2 cases with both TP53 mutation and MSI-H. Five of 7 patients with POLE mutation (poorly-differentiated) received postoperative chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, 4 patients received endocrine therapy, and 8 patients had no treatment after surgery. One of the stage ⅠA m-POLEmut tumor patients was found to have pelvic recurrence one year after surgery, and the other 16 patients were followed up for 10-38 months without recurrence or metastasis. Conclusions:POLE mutant endometrioid carcinoma may have different differentiation, and most patients have good prognosis. Correct interpretation of molecular results, accurate identification and classification are important for predicting prognosis and avoiding overtreatment. However, a small number of cases may have recurrence and metastasis, and therefore it is necessary to make a reasonable treatment plan based on the comprehensive judgment of other high risk factors.
