By systematically sorting out the theoretical origin, manipulation key points, and clinical applications of sparrow-pecking needling, it is believed that sparrow-pecking needling method involves performing small-amplitude, high-frequency lifting and thrusting of the needle tip in the original position, with heavy thrusting and light lifting, starting slowly and then becoming rapid, thus forming a characteristic needling sensation that spreads to the surroundings in a wavelike manner. The sparrow-pecking needling plays a role in stimulating the conduction of channel qi and regulating the circulation of qi and blood. Additionally, this paper summarized the clinical applications of sparrow-pecking needling in five aspects, regulating mind, regulating channel sinews, regulating zang-fu organs, regulating ying-wei (nutrient and defense qi), and regulating yang qi, so as to provide references for inheriting and expanding the theory and clinical application of sparrow-pecking needling.

Objective To optimize the spray drying process of Banlangen(Isatidis Radix)formula granules based on quality by design(QbD)concept.Methods Using powder yield and the contents of uridine,adenosine,guanosine,and(R,S)-goitron as the critical quality attributes(CQAs),Plackett-Burman design was used to screen out critical process parameters(CPPs)for inlet temperature,spray pressure,liquid temperature,pump speed,and liquid relative density.The central-composite design(CCD)test was used to optimize the CPPs,which were screened.Based on the quadratic polynomial regression model,the design space of spray drying process of Banlangen(Isatidis Radix)formula granules was established,and further validated by experiments.Results Plackett-burman test results show that liquid relative density and inlet velocity are the key parameters for the study.The variance analysis results of CCD test showed that the constructed model in a good prediction ability,since the P-values of model was less than 0.01 and P-values of items lack of fit was more than 0.05.The optimized design space of CPPs was the liquid relative density 1.05-1.08,and pump speed 30%-40%.Conclusion Based on the QbD concept,the design space for the spray drying process of Banlangen(Isatidis Radix)formula granules can improve the stability of its process and help ensure the consistency of product quality.

According to the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) standards, the Newborn Working Group of the ILAE put forward 6 necessary questions about the management of neonatal anti-seizure medication and gave evidence-based recommendations in 2023. The basic framework is systematic review+expert consensus. The clinical recommendations of ILAE guidelines 2023 and the similarities and differences between ILAE guidelines 2023 and ILAE guidelines 2011 were analyzed and interpreted in this paper, in order to provide reference for colleagues involved in neonatal convulsion management in China.

Objective:To compare the differences of chemical components between single decoction and mixed decoction with different compatibility ratio of Inulae Flos- Haematitum medicinal pair. Methods:UPLC method was used to determine the contents of 5-caffeoylquinic acid, chlorogenic acid, 4-dicaffeoylquinic acid, caffeic acid, isoquercitrin, isochlorogenic acid B, 1,5- dicaffeoyl quinic acid, isochlorogenic acid C and the fingerprints of the single decoctions and mixed decoctions of Inulae Flos- Haematitum medicinal pair in four groups of proportions. The "peak area/sample weight" value of each common peak in the fingerprints was calculated, and the SPSS 26.0 was used for independent-sample t-test analysis. Results:There are significant differences in the "peak area/weight" values of peak 1, peak 2, peak 4, peak 6 , peak 9, peak 10, peak 12, peak 13, peak 15 between mixed decoction and single decoction of Inulae Flos - Haematitum medicinal pair with different compatibility ratios ( P<0.05), with statistical significance; when the compatibility ratio of Inulae Flos- Haematitum medicinal pair was 3:1, the difference of fingerprints and index components content between single decoction and combined decoction was the largest. Except for peak 7 and peak 14, the difference of "peak area/sample weight" value of other characteristic peaks was statistically significant ( P<0.05), and the content difference of 8 index components was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:There are differences in the chemical components of Inulae Flos - Haematitum medicinal pair for single decoction and mixed decoction.

Purpose:
Drug resistance is one of the main causes of chemotherapy failure in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and extensive biological studies into chemotherapy drug resistance are required.
Materials and Methods:
In this study, we performed lncRNA microarray, in vitro functional assays, in vivo models and cDNA microarray to evaluate the impact of lncRNA in SCLC chemoresistance.
Results:
The results showed that KCNQ1OT1 expression was upregulated in SCLC tissues and was a poor prognostic factor for patients with SCLC. Knockdown of KCNQ1OT1 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, chemoresistance and promoted apoptosis of SCLC cells. Mechanistic investigation showed that KCNQ1OT1 can activate transforming growth factor-β1 mediated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in SCLC cells.
Conclusion
Taken together, our study revealed the role of KCNQ1OT1 in the progression and chemoresistance of SCLC, and suggested KCNQ1OT1 as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in SCLC clinical management.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of soft copy image of chest digital radiography (DR SC) in pneumoconiosis diagnosis by observing the reading effect of DR SC and comparing it with high kV film-screen chest radiography (FSR HkV) . To provide a basis for the establishment of a regional information network platform for pneumoconiosis diagnosis. Methods:A total of 119 miners who were exposed to silica dust and engaged in copper or lead-zinc mining were collected by the Third People's Hospital of Yunnan from October 2017 to August 2019. The pulmonary X-ray findings of DRSC and FSR HkV in each case were independently judged and diagnosed by three experienced diagnostic physicians, and the final decision was made according to the consensus of most doctors. The consistency of the two imaging methods was analyzed by observing the main small opacity shape, the overall density, the range of distribution, the aggregation of the small opacity and the big opacity, and the diagnosis stage. Results:there were 118 males and 1 female with an average age of 46.21 years. Average exposure time 7.38 years. The pulmonary X-ray findings of 113 cases with two imaging methods were mainly the round small opacity of p,q and r,but the reticular irregular opacity were not prominent, Only one case of FSR HkV judgment p shape and DR SC judgment q shape were observed, The coincidence rate was 99.12% (112/113) . huger opacity were observed in the other 6 cases. The coincidence rate was 95.51% (4/89) between pneumoconiosis-free and stageⅠ, and there was no significant difference between stageⅡand stage Ⅲ (30/30, P>0.05) . Conclusion:The x-ray findings of Silicosis with small round shadow in lung can be used by DR SC in diagnosis and staging.

Objective To explore the self-management behavior of stroke patients, understanding the self-management process and their subjective experience by interview, so as to provide evidence and enlightenment for clinical nursing and the improvement of stroke patients' self-management. Methods The data was based on in-depth interviews with 12 stroke patients through semi-structured interview. The content analysis method was used to analyze and summarize the data. Results Based on the data analysis, 4 themes were extracted: medical behavior management, daily life management, mood management, family and social function management. Conclusions Stroke patients can take appropriate self-management behavior on the basis of their experience and knowledge. However, the role of medical staff in the self-management of stroke patients should be further strengthened. It is suggested that the medical staff should provide information support for patients. Meanwhile the social support system should be encouraged to participate in the self-management of stroke patients so as to enhance stroke patients' self-management level.
