		                        			This paper explores the therapeutic approach for glaucoma based on the concept of "jueyin (厥阴) as the closing phase" from the perspectives of time and space. In traditional Chinese medicine, jueyin governs inward, converging aspect of qi, representing the crucial turning point between the end of yin and the emergence of yang, as well as the transformation between yin and yang. When the closing and descending function of jueyin operates smoothly, it promotes the inward convergence and smooth descent of qi, enabling the internal retention of blood, spirit, and emotions, which nourishes the internal organs and moistens the meridian-sinews. Conversely, dysfunction of this "closing" mechanism results in a disturbance of yin and yang, a mixture of cold and heat, and disharmony of qi and blood. It is proposed that "failure of jueyin to properly close and descend" is a core pathomechanism of glaucoma. From the perspective of spatiotemporal theory, clinical treatment should focus on "regulating the closing function of jueyin and harmonizing yin and yang". The modified Wumei Pill (乌梅丸) is recommended to adjust the ascending-descending and entering-exiting dynamics of jueyin qi transformation, thereby restoring its free flow, achieving yin and yang balance, and ensuring nourishment to the ocular system.

		                        			ObjectiveTo evaluate the dynamic disinfection effect of the upper-room 222 nm ultraviolet radiation on the air in different areas of the emergency department, and to provide references for a new solution of air disinfection that man-machine coexisted in the medical and healthcare institutions. MethodsThe upper-room 222 nm ultraviolet radiation air sterilizers were installed at a height of 2.3‒2.6 m from the ground in the observation room, computed tomography (CT) scanning room, rescue room and consulting room of the emergency department in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University . The test area was divided into a 222 nm ultraviolet group and a control group according to whether the 222 nm ultraviolet germicidal air disinfection was conducted or not. The experimental group started air disinfection at8:00 a.m., and the air sampling was conducted from 9:00 a.m. to 16:00 p.m., with a 10 min sampling interval of every 1 hour. While the control group only collected air sample with the same air sampling method used in the experimental group, without air disinfection. The air microbial sampler with six-level sieve impingement was used for the air sampling, and the differences in the total number of airborne bacterial colonies were compared between the two groups. ResultsA total of 128 air samples were collected in the trial, of which 64 were from the experimental group and 64 from the control group. The total number of airborne bacterial colonies in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group (all P<0.001), and was maintained at a lower level throughout the entire period. The killing rate of 222 nm ultraviolet radiation to airborne microorganisms was approximately 55.76% to 76.33% in different sampling areas. The qualified rates of the total number of dynamic airborne bacterial colonies in the observation room, rescue room and consulting room were improved from 12.50%, 37.50% and 25.00% to 81.25%, 100.00% and 100.00%, respectively (all P<0.001). Over 62.50% of the time, the air quality in the consulting room and CT room in the 222 nm ultraviolet group met the environment standards for airborne bacterial colony criteria of class Ⅰ or class Ⅱ. ConclusionThe upper-room222 nm ultraviolet radiation germicidal disinfection can effectively reduce the total number of airborne bacterial colonies and improve the environment for emergency department, and the continuous using of it is helpful for keeping the air safe and clean.

		                        			By consulting ancient materia medica, medical books, prescription books and modern literature, this paper systematically combed and reviewed the name, origin, scientific name evolution, producting area, quality evaluation, medicinal parts, harvesting and processing and traditional efficacy of Lasiosphaera Calvatia. The results show that Mabo was first recorded in Mingyi Bielu. Since then, all dynasties have taken Mabo as a legitimate name. Before the Song dynasty, only Calvatia lilacina was used as the original plant of Lasiosphaera Calvatia, which was expanded after the Song dynasty with the appearance of C. gigantea, Lasiosphaera fenzlii, Bovistella radicata and other varieties. Until modern times, there was an addition of Lycoperdon perlatum, L. pyriforme and other original plants of Lasiosphaera Calvatia. Since 1975, the original plant of Lasiosphaera Calvatia in various regulations and academic monographs has been basically uniform for C. lilacina, Lasiosphaera fenzlii and C. gigantea. Resource of the medicinal fungus was widely distributed in China and was mainly wild. From ancient times to the present, the medicinal parts of Lasiosphaera Calvatia are all fruiting body, which is harvested in summer and autumn, and its processing method was to take powder in ancient times, but to cut blocks in modern times. In recent times, its quality has been summarized as large, thin-skinned, intact, full, loose-bubbled and elastic. The medicinal efficacy has been developed from very good for all scores, and after the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is consistent with the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, with the efficacy of clearing the lung, promoting pharynx, relieving fever and hemostasis, mainly treating cough aphonia, throat obstruction and pharyngeal pain, vomiting blood, epistaxis, hemoptysis, and external treating sores and bleeding from cuts and wounds. Based on the results of herbal textual research, it is suggested that C. lilacina is the first choice for the origin of Lasiosphaera Calvatia involved in famous classical formulas, and it is processed into block or powder for medicine.

		                        			Objective:To explore the effect of instant blood glucose monitoring system (FGM) in perioperative blood glucose management in patients with hip fracture complicated with diabetes mellitus, and to provide guidance for perioperative blood glucose management.Methods:A total of 100 patients with hip fracture complicated with diabetes mellitus treated in the Department of Orthopaedics, Gongli Hospital, Pudong New Area, Shanghai from July 2018 to July 2020 were selected as subjects.The patients were divided into experimental group and control group by random digits table method with 50 cases in each group. The patients in both groups adopted the mode of multidisciplinary cooperation.The experimental group was used to monitor blood glucose based on FGM, and traditional blood glucose monitoring was used in the control group. The waiting time before operation, the pain caused by blood glucose acupuncture, the satisfaction of patients and medical staff, the blood glucose level at different time points and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:The waiting time before operation, the proportion of patients with moderate and severe pain after acupuncture and the incidence of hyperglycemia in the experimental group were (2.58 ± 1.30) d, 2% (1/50) and 30% (15/50), respectively, the control group were (3.67 ± 1.59) d, 22% (11/50) and 50% (25/50), respectively. The differences were statistically significant( t value was -2.087, χ2 values were 9.470, 4.170, P<0.05). The satisfaction of patients and medical staff in the experimental group were (46.43 ± 1.87), (46.58 ± 2.10) points, respectively, the control group were (40.67 ± 3.24), (43.84 ± 2.92) points, respectively.The differences were statistically significant( t values were 8.441, 8.087, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose and pre-bedtime blood glucose between the two groups( P>0.05). Conclusions:The application of FGM can realize the continuous blood glucose monitoring and management of patients,making the blood glucose reach the standard more quickly and smoothly, meanwhile it may effectively shorten the waiting time before operation and reduce the acupuncture pain of blood glucose monitoring and recognize patients with concealed abnormal blood glucose. The application can improve the satisfaction of patients and medical staff, and promote the rapid recovery of patients as well.

		                        			Objective:To explore the effects of micro-classroom on pulmonary function, compliance with inhaled glucocorticoids, self-management ability and quality of life in children with bronchial asthma at school age.Methods:A total of 116 children with school-age bronchial asthma who were treated in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2019 were selected. Children were divided into control group ( n = 58) and observation group ( n = 58) according to the method of random numbers. The children in the control group were given routine health education, and the children in the observation group used micro-class health education strategies based on the control group. Intervention time was 3 months. The lung function indexes, inhaled glucocorticoid compliance, self-management ability, and quality of life were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention. Results:After the intervention, the forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume percentage (FEV1%), peak expiratory flow rate (PEF), and forced expiratory 25% vital capacity instantaneous flow rate (FEF25%) were increased in both groups. The observation group was (6.29 ± 0.75) L, (75.61 ± 10.59)%, (91.55 ± 12.82) L / s, and (83.45 ± 10.85) L / s. All were higher than (5.98 ± 0.66) L, (71.25 ± 7.84)%, (78.92 ± 11.8) L / s, and (59.91 ± 8.39) L / s in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t value was from -13.071 to -2.363, P <0.05 or 0.01). The Morisky-Green score of the control group decreased after the intervention ( t value was 7.937, P <0.05). The Morisky-Green score of the observation group showed no significant change compared with that before the intervention ( t value was 0.883, P> 0.05). The scores of self-care ability, nursing skills, sense of responsibility, self-concept, and health knowledge on the self-care ability scale of the observation group after the intervention were (21.05 ± 2.53), (17.53 ± 2.63), (17.65 ± 1.94), (27.35 ± 4.10), (27.36 ± 4.10) minutes. All were higher than the (15.68 ± 2.20), (13.58 ± 1.49), (14.56 ± 1.75), (20.45 ± 2.86), (22.35 ± 2.68) points of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t value was from -12.198 to -7.790, P <0.01). In the observation group after intervention, the quality of life scale, asthma symptoms, mental state, response to stimulus, and health care scores were (75.68 ± 9.08), (58.91 ± 8.25), and (46.98 ± 7.05), (38.51 ± 5.39), (28.95 ± 4.05) minutes. All were higher than (68.35 ± 8.89), (51.23 ± 7.68), (41.05 ± 6.16), (31.58 ± 3.79), (22.36 ± 2.68) points in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t value was from -10.334 to -4.393, P <0.01). Conclusion:The micro-classroom intervention mode for school-age children with bronchial asthma can effectively maintain treatment compliance, help improve children's lung function indicators, and improve children's self-management ability and quality of life.

		                        			Objective? To explore the knowledge level of hospital infection control in nurses of key clinical departments and to provide a reference for providing more targeted hospital infection training. Methods? The nurses of key clinical departments in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University in December 2017 were selected by convenient sampling and investigated with the self-designed hospital infection knowledge questionnaire. t test and variance analysis were used to compare the knowledge level of hospital infection between nurses with different characteristics. Results? The score for hospital infection knowledge in the 872 nurses from key clinical departments was (20.34±3.21), and the score in 61.58% of them was ≥20;the highest scoring rate was found in hand hygiene, while the lowest scoring rate was found in infectious disease knowledge and diagnosis; and there were statistical differences in knowledge level of hospital infection between nurses from different departments and with different professional title, educational background and students to teach or not (F/t=4.39, -3.69, -3.13, 5.24; P<0.05). Conclusions? The knowledge level of hospital infection control in nurses of key clinical departments stands at a low level. Targeted training should be provided to nurses with different characteristics. Multiple management measures need to be taken to strengthen the supervision and monitoring over these departments, enhance the infection control ability in nurses from key departments, and prevent hospital infection.

		                        			To investigate the clinicopathologic and differential diagnostic features of glomus tumor of the kidney.
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			Four cases of glomus tumor of the kidney were collected from the archives of Peking University Third Hospital, the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, Ningbo Yinzhou Second Hospital and Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital between January 2012 to June 2017; the clinical and radiologic features, histomorphology, immunohistochemistry, ultrastucture and prognosis were analyzed and the relevant literature was reviewed.
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			Patients consisted of 2 men and 2 women with ages ranging from 37 years to 66 years (mean 55 years). Three patients had history of hypertensive disease (grade Ⅱ, 3 to 10 years). The tumors measured in maximum diameter from 3.0 cm to 4.0 cm (mean 3.6 cm) and showed gray-white to yellow and tan on cut surface. Macroscopical examinations showed all tumors were circumscribed but non-encapsulated. Histologically, 1 tumor presented as glomus tumor with extensive myxoid change, 1 as cellular and solid pattern glomus tumor, 1 as glomangioma with focal myopericytoma-like pattern and 1 as symplastic glomus tumor with areas resembling myopericytoma. The tumor cells in two cases showed scant cytoplasm and uniform, bland-appearing nuclei without mitoses. In one case, the tumor cells were epithelioid with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and relatively well-defined cell borders. There was an increased mitosis of 4/50 HPF; however, no evidence of atypical mitosis or nuclear atypia was noted. In the symplastic glomus tumor the tumor cells showed frequently nuclear pleomorphism without mitoses. By immunohistochemistry, all tumors showed strong and diffuse reactivities to at least 3 of the 4 muscle-associated markers (SMA, h-Caldesmon, MSA and Calponin), 3 tumors strongly and diffusely expressed collagen Ⅳ, 2 expressed CD34 and 1 focally expressed desmin; whereas markers including epithelial, neuroendocrine, nephrogenic, melanoma-associated, STAT6, S-100 protein, CD117 and β-catenin all were negative in all the 4 tumors. Ultrastuctural analysis was done in 2 cases and showed prominent cytoplasmic actin bundles and pericellular basement membrane, and lacking of rhomboid renin crystals in both tumors. The hypertension persisted after surgical resection for all the 3 patients with this medical history. Follow-up information (range: 6-64 months, mean: 44 months)showed that no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis was identified in all 4 patients.
		                        		
		                        			Conclusions
		                        			Glomus tumor rarely occurs in the kidney and usually has a good prognosis. Careful attention to its morphology with the judicious use of immunohistochemistry and ultrastuctural analysis can be helpful for its diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

		                        			Objective To review the role of extrahepatic bile duct resection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with bile duct tumor thrombi.Methods The Pubmed,Wan Fang and China Science and Technology Journal Database were reviewed systematically.Any case reports or studies involving treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with bile duct tumor thrombi were included in this literature search.Two authors independently assessed the studies for inclusion and extracted the data.Univariate analysis was used to compare the baseline characteristics and the Kaplan-Meier method was used for analyzing survival and diseasefree survival outcomes.Results Using predetermined inclusion criteria,16 studies which included 170 patients entered into this study.All these patients underwent surgical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma and bile duct tumor thrombi.Based on the Satoh classification,45 patients were type Ⅰ,107 patients type Ⅱ and 18 patients type Ⅲ.Twenty-four patients underwent liver resection combined with extrahepatic bile duct resection.The remaining 146 patients underwent liver resection combined with thrombectomy.The 1-,3-,and 5-year survival rates of all the patients were 73.4%,41.5% and 21.8%,and the corresponding recurrences free survival rates were 62.5%,29.2% and 13.1%,respectively.On Kaplan-Meier analysis,there were no significant differences in the survival outcomes between the 2 groups of patients,(P > 0.05).The 1-,3-,and 5-year survival rates of the extrahepatic bile duct resection group were 66.7%,41.7% and 12.5%,and those of the thrombectomy group were 74.6%,41.3% and 23.8%,respectively.On subgroup analysis (Satoh type Ⅱ and Ⅲ),no significant differences were observed between the two groups (P >0.05).The 1-,3-,and 5-year survival rates of the extrahepatic bile duct resection group were 65.2%,38.0% and 13.0%,and those of the thrombectomy group were 72.8%,39.5% and 20.9%,respectively.Conclusion Extrahepatic bile duct resection did not improve the overall survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with bile duct tumor thrombi.
