Didangtang is a classic formula for treating blood stasis and heat， as recorded in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases， and it has been highly praised by medical practitioners throughout history. It has been recorded in many traditional Chinese medical texts and used to this day. This article comprehensively examined the records of Didangtang in different ancient versions of Treatise on Febrile Diseases by excavating and sorting out related ancient medical books and modern literature. It also investigated the dosage unit measurement， preparation method， and content of the formula in medical books throughout history. The article provided a detailed summary and exploration of the origins and processing methods of rhubarb， peach kernels， leeches， and flies in the formula. At the same time， it reviewed the clinical practice of Didangtang by medical practitioners throughout history in relevant medical books， mainly including the adjustment of dosage forms， the increase or decrease in medicinal taste and dosage， the expansion of clinical application， and the creation and elucidation of similar formulas. Although there may be differences in the above information among medical practitioners throughout history， the basic idea of attacking blood stasis and heat is consistent. In addition， based on clinical practice， the author adhered to the principle of treating stasis and heat disease as the first reference when using Didangtang. It was suggested that blood should be circulated instead of stopping in the treatment of stasis and heat accumulation syndrome. At the same time， it was believed that the use of the method of attacking stasis and heat to regulate brain diseases and mental illnesses derives from the fact that removing stasis and generating new energy can nourish the heart and mind， providing ideas for the treatment of such diseases with Didangtang. On this basis， modern clinical and animal experiments have shown that Didangtang has certain effects in improving microcirculation disorders， regulating blood rheology and hemodynamics， enhancing insulin resistance， and inhibiting inflammatory reactions. This may be an important mechanism for the formula to ''conquer blood stasis and heat''. This article explored the textual research and clinical mechanism of Didangtang， presenting facts and evidence， so as to provide a reference for the clinical application of Didangtang and the research on other prescriptions.

AIM: To observe the influence of different intraocular lens implantation methods on visual quality in patients with cataract.METHODS: Retrospective study. Totally 85 patients(113 eyes)with cataract who received phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation in the hospital June 2020 to December 2023 were selected. According to the different implanted lenses, they were divided into monofocal group(42 cases, 55 eyes)and bifocal group(43 cases, 58 eyes). The uncorrected near visual acuity(UNVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity(UIVA), uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA), best corrected near visual acuity(BCNVA), best corrected intermediate visual acuity(BCIVA), best corrected distance visual acuity(BCDVA), contrast sensitivity(CS), objective visual quality, National Eye Institute 25-item Visual Function Questionnaire(NEI-VFQ-25)scores and complications were compared between both groups of patients at 3 mo after surgery.RESULTS:At 3 mo after surgery, the UNVA(LogMAR)of the bifocal group was significantly better than that of the monofocal group(0.24±0.06 vs 0.53±0.13, P<0.001), but there were no statistical differences in UIVA, UDVA, BCNVA, BCIVA and BCDVA between the two groups(all P>0.05). The 18 c/d spatial frequency scotopic CS in the bifocal group at 3 mo after surgery was significantly lower than that in the monofocal group(0.84±0.17 vs 0.92±0.22, P<0.05), while the CS in other frequency was not statistically significant(all P>0.05); the objective scatter index(OSI)was higher in the bifocal group than that in the monofocal group(P<0.05), while OV 20% and OV 9% were lower than those in monofocal group(all P<0.05), but there were no statistically significant differences in modulation transfer function cut off(MTFcut off), Strehl ratio(SR)and OV 100% between the two groups(all P>0.05). The scores of overall visual acuity and near visual activity in the bifocal group at 3 mo after surgery were higher than those in the monofocal group(all P<0.001), but there were no statistical differences in the scores of dimensions of overall health, distance visual activity, peripheral visual acuity, color vision, dependence degree, social function, social role and mental health between the two groups(all P>0.05). Furthermore, there were no statistical significance in the incidence of complications in the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Phacoemulsification combined with bifocal intraocular lens implantation can provide more ideal near visual acuity and visual-related quality of life for patients with cataract, but its objective visual quality is worse, The two types of intraocular lenses have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is still necessary to choose the appropriate intraocular lens according to the actual needs of patients.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Rougan Jianpi therapy combined with Mesalazine enema in the treatment of distal ulcerative colitis (DUC) with Ganyu-Pixu syndrome.Methods:This study is a prospective parallel randomized controlled study. From November 2021 to May 2022, 115 patients with DUC in Changshu Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine were selected and randomly divided into a control group of 58 patients and a study group of 57 patients. The control group was treated with Mesalazine enema, and the study group was treated with Rougan Jianpi Decoction on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks. The severity of the disease was evaluated by using the Modified Mayo Scale, and the clinical and endoscopic efficacy was evaluated based on the changes in the score before and after treatment. TCM syndromes were scored from four aspects: abdominal pain, diarrhea, mucopurulent bloody stool, Rectal tenesmus, and anal burning. The quality of life was evaluated by using the IBD Quality of Life Scale (IBDQ). The serum TNF-αand IL-10 level were detected by using ELISA method. The adverse reactions during treatment were observed and recorded.Results:The total effective rate of the study group was 91.23% (52/57), while that of the control group was 79.31% (46/58). The difference between the two groups was no statistically significant ( Z=1.47, P=0.143). The proportion of patients in the study group who achieved clinical response[40.35% (23/57) vs. 51.72% (30/58)] and clinical relief [59.65% (34/57) vs. 43.11% (25/58)] the total proportion were significantly higher than those in the control group [100.00% (57/57) vs. 94.83% (55/58); Z=1.97, P=0.049]. The proportion of patients with endoscopic response [52.63% (30/57) vs. 56.90% (33/58)] and mucosal healing [33.33% (19/57) vs. 17.24% (10/58)] the total proportion in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group [85.96% (49/57) vs. 74.14% (43/58); Z=2.23, P=0.026]. after treatment, the IBDQ score [(194.3±15.1) vs. (172.6±18.4), t=6.90] in the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group. After treatment, the patient's TCM symptom score: mucopurulent bloody stool [(1.7±0.8) vs. (2.0±0.6), t=2.03], rectal tenesmus [(1.5±0.6) vs. (1.8±0.6), t=2.32] and anal burning [(1.3±0.6) vs. (1.6±0.7), t=2.38] in the control group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The level of IL-10 [(53.3±8.0) ng/L vs. (49.0±6.7) ng/L, t=3.10] in the study group after treatment was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.01), and TNF-α [(28.3±7.9)ng/L vs. (36.8±8.1)ng/L, t=3.58] was lower than that of the control group ( P<0.01). There were no significant adverse reactions observed during the treatment in both groups. Conclusion:Method of Rougan Jianpi combined with mesalazine enema can improve the clinical symptoms of DUC patients, improve clinical efficacy, and have good safety.

Objective:To compare the surgical outcomes between scarless endoscopic thyroidectomy-lateral neck dissection (SET-LND) and open LND for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) with lymph node metastasis and to share the experience in the prevention and treatment of lymphatic leakage after LND.Methods:Totally 90 PTC patients (25 males) who underwent LND in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from Jan. 2021 to Aug. 2022 were retrospectively enrolled, with an average age of (28.06±4.89) years. They were divided into the SET-LND group ( n=50) and the open LND group ( n=40). The intraoperative blood loss, operation time, drainage volume on the first and the second days, postoperative lymphatic leakage, tumor (T), and node (N) were observed. The categorical variable data were compared between groups by χ 2 test, and the continuous variable data confirming normal distribution were compared between groups by independent sample t-test. Results:The operation time of the SET-LND group was (284.00±74.65) min, significantly longer than that of the open LND group (145.38±43.26) min ( t=-10.42, P<0.001). The intraoperative blood loss ( t=-1.309, P=0.194), postoperative hospital stay ( t=-0.136, P=0.892), drainage volume on the first day ( t=-1.074, P=0.286), and drainage volume on the second day ( t=-1.595, P=0.114), postoperative lymphatic leakage ( χ2=0.001, P=0.989), T ( t=0.367, P=0.714), N ( t=-1.614, P=0.110) were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion:Two surgical methods of LND have similar therapeutic effects and no significant difference was observed in the incidence of postoperative lymphatic leakage between the two groups.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between plasma fibrinogen/serum albumin ratio (FAR) and the degree of cerebral artery stenosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI).Methods:Clinical data of 189 patients with acute cerebral infarction diagnosed and treated in the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College from January 2021 to March 2023 were selected for retrospective analysis. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was improved, and they were divided into four groups according to the degree of intracranial vascular stenosis according to NASCET grading method: no stenosis group (47 cases), mild stenosis group (45 cases), moderate stenosis group (39 cases) and severe stenosis and occlusion group (58 cases). The differences of basic data, plasma fibrinogen/serum albumin ratio (FAR) and other inflammatory indicators among all groups were compared, and the correlation between FAR level and the severity of cerebral artery stenosis was analyzed. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to explore the factors influencing to cerebral artery stenosis and ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of FAR in the degree of cerebral artery stenosis in cerebral infarction patients.Results:There were significant differences in blood neutrophil (NEU), mean platelet volume (MPV), fibrinogen (FIB), fibrinogen (FIB), albumin (ALB) and FAR among the 4 groups (statistical values were H=11.50, H=8.44, F=5.16, H=30.93, H=40.38; all P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between FAR and the degree of cerebral artery stenosis ( r=0.455, P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression showed that FAR was an independent risk factor for the degree of cerebral artery stenosis ( OR=1.445, 95% CI=1.261-1.655, P<0.001). Conclusion:FAR is an independent risk factor for cerebral artery stenosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI), and may be a new biomarker for predicting cerebral artery stenosis.

Objective To investigate whether cisplatin induces tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)secretion in human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC)cells to trigger RIP1/RIP3/MLKL-dependent necroptosis of the cells.Methods HNSCC cell lines HN4 and SCC4 treated with cisplatin(CDDP)or the combined treatment with CDDP and z-VAD-fmk(a caspase inhibitor)or Nec-1(a necroptosis inhibitor)for 24 h were examined for changes in cell viability using CCK8 assay and expressions of caspase-8 and necroptosis pathway proteins(RIP1/RIP3/MLKL)using Western blotting.The changes in migration of the cells were assessed with cell scratch assay,and the expressions of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)marker proteins N-cadherin,vimentin,and E-cadherin as well as the expressions of NF-κB(p65)and TNF-α were detected with Western blotting.Results The IC50 of cisplatin was 10 μg/mL in HN4 cells and 15 μg/mL in SCC4 cells.Cisplatin treatment significantly decreased the expressions of caspase-8,N-cadherin and vimentin and increased the expressions of E-cadherin,the necroptosis pathway proteins(RIP1/RIP3/MLKL),TNF-α,and NF-κB(p65),and these changes were obviously inhibited by treatment with Nec-1.Cisplatin stimulation also significantly lowered migration of the cells,and this inhibitory effect was strongly attenuated by Nec-1 treatment.Conclusion Cisplatin activates nuclear factor-κB signaling in HNSCCs to promote TNF-α autocrine and induce RIP1/RIP3/MLKL-dependent necroptosis,thus leading to inhibition of cell proliferation.

There are many researchers on the clinical thinking of Treatise on Cold Damage,and a relatively complete research sys-tem on Treatise on Cold Damage has gradually been formed.However,there are still shortcomings,such as incomplete understanding of the clinical value of this book,the diagnosis and treatment of epidemic diseases focusing on febrile diseases and underestimating ty-phoid fever,problems in how classical theories deal with contemporary diseases and the application of classical prescriptions.This arti-cle proposes that Treatise on Cold Damage is the law for all diseases,treating typhoid fever as well as miscellaneous diseases;the diag-nosis and treatment of epidemic diseases emphasizes the treatment of febrile disease and underestimates typhoid fever,but in fact,cold and warmth are closely related;classical research can learn from the thinking of western medicine,and the treatment of diseases must be based on Chinese medicine.At present,the application of classic prescriptions focuses on prescriptions and neglects theory and methods,and there is an urgent need to build a standardized system to provide ideas for clinical research on Chinese medicine classics.

To summarize the nursing experience of a patient with large skin ulcers caused by EBV positive T/NK-cell lymphoproliferative diseases based on TIME Clinical-Decision-Support-Tool. The main points of nursing care were as follows: early identification of the cause of ulceration and active treatment of the underlying disease; accurate and continuous assessment of patients and their wounds; multidisciplinary consultation to ensure the integrity and comprehensiveness of diagnosis and treatment; active identification of obstacle factors and risk control; providing different dressing change programs according to different wound healing stages; evaluation of treatment effects at any time; timely pain management; improving the nutritional status of patients; providing health education and psychological nursing care. After 367 days of wound dressing, the patient′s wound was fully healed, and EBV-DNA was not detected in genetic examination after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for postoperative stiffness following rotator cuff repair and to develop a predictive risk assessment model.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 251 patients (111 males and 140 females) who underwent rotator cuff repair at the Department of Orthopedics, Civil Aviation General Hospital, from June 2016 to December 2022. Patients were divided into two groups based on the time of admission: the modeling group, comprising patients treated from June 2016 to June 2021, was used to construct the risk assessment model, while the validation group, including those treated from July 2021 to December 2022, was used to evaluate the model's effectiveness. In the modeling group, the incidence of postoperative stiffness one year after surgery was assessed. The study collected data on age, sex, body mass index, disease duration, smoking history, diabetes history, preoperative fat infiltration of the rotator cuff muscles, tear size, suturing technique, preoperative stiffness, re-tear rate, visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at two and six weeks postoperatively, Constant-Murley scores at six weeks postoperatively, and both preoperative and postoperative critical shoulder angle (CSA), acromial index (AI), and lateral acromion angle (LAA). Univariate analysis was used to identify potential risk factors for postoperative stiffness, followed by multivariate logistic regression to construct the risk assessment model. The validation group was used to reassess the identified risk factors.Results:Postoperative stiffness occurred in 21 out of 176 patients in the modeling group. Logistic regression analysis revealed that diabetes history, higher fat infiltration of the rotator cuff muscles, larger tear size, preoperative stiffness, higher VAS score at six weeks postoperatively, and lower Constant-Murley score at six weeks postoperatively were significant risk factors for postoperative stiffness. Based on the logistic regression model, a nomogram was created using R software. In the validation group, postoperative stiffness was observed in 11 out of 75 patients. The area under the ROC curve (AUC=0.926) indicated good discriminative ability in predicting postoperative stiffness. The goodness-of-fit test (H-L test: χ 2=2.215, P=0.947) demonstrated moderate calibration of the model. Conclusion:A history of diabetes, high fat infiltration of the rotator cuff muscles, large or massive rotator cuff tears, preoperative stiffness, higher VAS scores at six weeks postoperatively, and lower Constant-Murley scores at six weeks postoperatively are significant risk factors for postoperative stiffness after rotator cuff repair. The risk assessment model shows good discriminative power and calibration, making it a useful tool for predicting the risk of postoperative stiffness following rotator cuff repair.
