		                        			ObjectiveTo construct and validate a clinical prediction model for Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome in chronic heart failure (CHF),aiming to assist clinical diagnosis and provide tools and methods for individualized treatment of CHF. MethodsThe clinical data of patients with chronic heart failure treated at Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from January 2022 to January 2024 were retrospectively collected. The patients were randomly divided into a training group and a validation group with a ratio of 7∶3. First, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was used to preliminarily screen the predictive factors affecting the diagnosis of Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome in CHF. Subsequently, the Logistic regression method was applied to conduct a more in-depth and detailed analysis of these factors. Variables with P<0.05 in the results of the multi-factor Logistic regression were carefully selected and included. Based on the regression coefficients obtained from this analysis, a model was constructed, and a nomogram was accurately drawn. Using R software,the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve,calibration curve,and decision curve analysis (DCA) were precisely drawn. These analyses were used to comprehensively evaluate the model from three crucial aspects: discrimination,calibration,and clinical applicability. Additionally, the accuracy,specificity,sensitivity,positive predictive value,and negative predictive value of the model were meticulously calculated to conduct a more all-round and comprehensive assessment. ResultsIn total, 168 cases were successfully obtained in the training group, and 71 cases were included in the validation group. After a thorough comparison, it was found that there were no statistically significant differences in the baseline data between the two groups. After being rigorously screened by the LASSO-multivariate logistic regression method, dark red tongue,smoking history,cardiac troponin I,and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP) were identified as the influencing factors for diagnosing patients with the Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome in CHF. The constructed model demonstrated an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.812 in the training group and 0.719 in the validation group. The calibration curve showed that the predicted curve of the model was close to the actual observed curve. DCA indicated that the model could provide substantial clinical benefits for patients at the decision thresholds ranging from 0.2 to 0.9. ConclusionThe clinical prediction model for Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome in chronic heart failure constructed in this study shows good performance. It has certain application value in clinical practice, which may contribute to the improvement of the diagnosis and treatment of CHF patients with this syndrome.

		                        			Objective:To observe the clinical characteristics and therapeutic effect of reactivation of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) patients after intravitreal injection of ranibizumab (IVR).Methods:A retrospective case series study. Eleven children with ROP (21 eyes) who were reactivated after IVR in Shenzhen Eye Hospital from January 2019 to October 2021 were included in the study. Among them, there were 6 males (11 eyes) and 5 females (10 eyes), with the gestational age of (27.6±2.2) weeks and birth weight of (1 034.6±306.5) g. At the first IVR treatment, 14 eyes (63.7%, 14/22) had acute ROP (AROP), 8 eyes (36.3%, 8/22) had threshold lesions. Post-reactivation treatments include IVR, retinal laser photocoagulation (LP), or minimally invasive vitrectomy (MIVS). The follow-up time after treatment was 12 to 18 months. Birth gestational age, birth weight, treatment method, corrected gestational age at treatment, lesion stage before and after treatment, lesion reactivation and regression time were recorded. The clinical characteristics and efficacy were observed and analyzed.Results:The time from initial IVR treatment to reactivation was (8.2±3.5) weeks. The corrected gestational age of the child was (43.62±4.08) weeks. In 21 eyes, AROP, threshold lesion, prethreshold lesion, and stage 4 lesion were in 2, 4, 12, and 3 eyes, respectively. The patients were treated with IVR, LP, IVR+LP, IVR+MIVS in 2, 13, 4 and 2 eyes, respectively. After the first reactivation treatment, the time of regression and stability was (8.4±4.9) weeks after treatment. There were 5 eyes with secondary reactivation of the lesion, and the lesion stages were stage 3, stage 4a and stage 5 in 2, 1 and 2 eyes, respectively. The mean reactivation time was (19.3±6.0) weeks after the last treatment. The patients in stage 3, stage 4a and stage 5 were treated with LP, LP+MIVS and IVR, respecitively, and the lesions subsided steadily during follow-up. At the last follow-up, 19 out of 21 eyes showed complete regression of the lesions, stable photocoagulation, regression of crista-like lesions, no additional lesions, and retinal leveling. All retinal detachment was "funnel-shaped" in 2 eyes.Conclusions:The lesion reactivation of AROP after IVR treatment is more common. The early reactivation rate is higher after treatment. There is a possibility of reactivation twice after re-treatment.

		                        			 Objective To investigate the clinical and gene mutation features of sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) deficiency. Methods A total of 10 children, aged < 18 years, who were diagnosed with NTCP deficiency in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center from June 2020 to June 2021 were enrolled, and related data were analyzed, including general information (sex, age, body height, body weight, family history, and past history), clinical manifestation, disease outcome, laboratory examination (routine blood test, liver function, hepatotropic virus, and autoimmune hepatitis screening), and gene mutation. Results All 10 children had normal growth and development, among whom there were 8 boys and 2 girls, with an age of 3-37 months at the time of diagnosis. The etiology of children attending the hospital for the first time was prolonged jaundice (5/10, 50%), elevation of aminotransferases (2/10, 20%), abnormal physical examination results (2/10, 20%), and pneumonia (1/10, 10%). At the time of diagnosis, all children had a significant increase in serum total bile acid (TBA), 2 children had increases in alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, and 1 child had an increase in total bilirubin (TBil), mainly direct bilirubin (DBil) (DBil/TBil ratio > 50%). Second-generation gene sequencing showed that all 10 children had a homozygous mutation of the SLC10A1 gene, i.e., c.800C > T(p.Ser267Phe, chr14∶70245193). Conclusion Although NTCP deficiency often has no symptoms, some of the children may manifest as infant cholestasis in the early stage. The possibility of NTCP deficiency should be considered when there is persistent hypercholanemia and the changing trend of serum TBA is not consistent with that of other liver function parameters.

		                        			Objective:To apply the best evidence of perioperative enhanced recovery nursing for lung cancer patients to clinical practice, and to evaluate the effect of practice.Methods:Following the 5 steps of the Stetler model of research utilization, an evidence-based protocol was formed through literature search, quality assessment, evidence synthesis and revision by expert group meetings. From January to July 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 160 lung cancer patients admitted to the Thoracic Surgery of Shanghai Chest Hospital as the research object. Patients admitted from January to April 2021 were set as the control group ( n=80) for baseline review. Patients admitted from May to July 2021 were set as the intervention group ( n=80) , and an evidence-based protocol was applied. Results:Finally, one guideline and 7 consensus articles were included. The evidence-based protocol covered 10 modules of preoperative nursing assessment, nutritional management, dietary preparation, health education, postoperative dietary management, functional exercise, pipeline management, pain management, venous thrombosis management and symptom management, with a total of 22 recommendations. There were significant differences in the time of first ambulation, the completion of ambulation on the day of operation, the pain score of first ambulation, the time for the first eating, and the time for the first exhausting between the two groups ( P<0.05) . There were no complications and venous thrombosis in the two groups during hospitalization. Conclusions:The development of the evidence-based practice project is beneficial to accelerate the postoperative recovery of lung cancer patients, and is conducive to standardizing the nursing path, thereby promoting the improvement of nursing quality.

		                        			Results:
		                        			Five of the seven children with H1N1 IAE were female. The age at admission was 4 years and 5 months (range 7 months-9 years). Neurological symptoms occurred simultaneously or early (0-3 days) after the flu-like symptom appeared. The main clinical manifestations of neurological symptoms were seizures (repeated seizures in five cases and status convulsion in two cases, including one case of unexpected fever and repeated seizures in a nine-year old girl) accompanied with altered consciousness (drowsiness in five cases and coma in two cases). Cranial MRI in three cases displayed multifocal lesions, mainly in the bilateral thalamus, brainstem and cerebellar hemisphere. MRI also showed reversible splenial lesion in the corpus callusumin in three cases. EEG tracings were characterized by diffuse slow wave activity in four cases, and status epilepticus was monitored in one case. All the 7 cases were treated with oral oseltamivir. Three cases were treated with pulsed methylprednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin. One case was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin alone and all the patients received oral oseltamivir. All the patients survived, with three patients had minor neurological sequelae at discharge.

		                        			This study measured the in vitro inhibitory effects of α-amylase(AM), α-glycosidase(AG)and aldose reductase(AR)extraction from Potentilla fruticosa in three solvents: water extract(WE)and 95% methanol extraction of petroleum ether part(MEP), 95% methanol extraction of ethyl acetate part(MEE)and 95% methanol extraction of water part(MEW)through α-amylase inhibitors(AMI), α-glycosidase inhibitors(AGI)and aldose reductase inhibitors(ARI)activity screening models. In vivo effects of different solvents from Potentilla fruticosa on impaired glucose tolerance of mice were also measured. Among them, WE, MEP and MEE exhibited against AMI activity with IC50 values of 0. 432, 1. 193 and 0. 507 mg/mL, respectively. Three solvents against AGI activity with IC50 values of 0. 164, 0. 768 and 0. 466 mg/mL, respectively. Three solvents against ARI activity with IC50 values of 0. 742, 2. 158 and 1. 098 mg/mL, respectively. The study suggests that Potentilla fruticosa in water extract and 95% methanol extraction of ethyl acetate part demonstrated a stronger inhibitory effect on AM, AG and AR. Meanwhile, Potentilla fruticosa in water extract and 95% methanol extraction of ethyl acetate part can be significantly decreased the postprandial blood glucose in mice.
