OBJECTIVE To study the safety of Shuangshu decoction in rats and its efficacy in improving functional dyspepsia (FD) in rats. METHODS In safety test, 40 rats were divided into blank control group, Shuangshu decoction low-dose, medium- dose and high-dose groups [108, 216, 324 g/(kg·d), calculated by raw medicine, the same applies below]; they were given relevant medicine intragastrically, for continuous 14 days. The mortality and toxic reactions of rats were recorded, and the organ indexes of the liver, kidney, spleen, lung and heart of rats were calculated; the pathological morphological changes in the liver, kidney, spleen, lung, heart, stomach, duodenum, and colon were observed to evaluate the acute toxicity of Shuangshu decoction. Another 40 rats were grouped and administered in the same way for 30 consecutive days. The mortality and toxic reactions of the rats were recorded, and the corresponding organ indexes were calculated. The pathological morphological changes in the corresponding organs were observed, and blood routine and serum biochemical indicators were measured, in order to assess the subacute toxicity of Shuangshu decoction. In pharmacodynamic experiments: 50 rats were divided into blank control group, model group, and Shuangshu decoction low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (9.45, 18.9, 37.8 g/kg), with 10 rats in each group. Except for blank control group, rats in all other groups were used to establish the FD rat model by subcutaneous injection of loperamide (3.5 mg/kg). Rats in each group were administered the corresponding drug solution/normal saline intragastrically, once a day, for 14 consecutive days. After the last medication, fecal moisture content, intestinal propulsion rate, gastric emptying rate and serum level of motilin were all detected, and interstitial cell of Cajal (ICC) ultrastructure of rats was observed in colon tissue. RESULTS The safety experiments showed that no death occurred in each dose group, and no significant difference was found in organ coefficient, routine blood and serum biological index, compared to blank control group (P>0.05); no abnormality was found in organ appearance and pathological sections. The results of the pharmacodynamic experiments showed that, compared with the blank control group, the fecal moisture content, gastric emptying rate, intestinal propulsion rate, and serum motilin levels in the model group were significantly decreased (P<0.05); in the colonic tissue, the mitochondria in the ICC exhibited severe swelling with the disappearance of cristae, and the endoplasmic reticulum was dilated. Compared with model group, the rats in Shuangshu decoction high-dose group showed significant increases in the above quantitative indicators (P< 0.05); additionally, there was a large number of mitochondria in the ICC of the colonic tissue, with clear cristae and regular arrangement. CONCLUSIONS Shuangshu decoction is safe and has a beneficial improving effect on FD rats; its mechanism of action may be related to the regulation of gastrointestinal hormone expression to promote gastric emptying and intestinal propulsion, as well as the repair of mitochondrial structure in ICCs to restore gastrointestinal function.

Objective To investigate the current status of symptom burden and psychological distress among lung cancer patients in the diagnostic phase, and to explore the chain mediating role of social support and resilience between symptom burden and psychological distress. Methods The patients with lung cancer in the diagnostic phase who were treated in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from October 2022 to June 2023 were investigated by a general information questionnaire using the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory, the Social Support Rating Scale, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Distress Thermometer. The chain mediating role of social support and resilience between symptom burden and psychological distress was analyzed. Results A total of 413 lung cancer patients were enrolled, including 173 males and 240 females, aged (54.69±10.82) years. The detection rate of psychological distress among lung cancer patients in the diagnostic phase was 48.18%, and the average score was (3.84±2.50) points. Psychological distress was positively correlated with symptom burden (P<0.01), and negatively correlated with social support and resilience (P<0.01). The mediating effect of resilience between symptom burden and psychological distress was significant. The chain mediating effect of social support and resilience between symptom burden and psychological distress was also significant. Conclusion Lung cancer patients in the diagnostic phase have a high detection rate of psychological distress. Symptom burden can directly impact psychological distress, and can affect psychological distress through the indirect path of resilience as well as the chain mediating path between social support and resilience among lung cancer patients in the diagnostic phase.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of Young's modulus obtained by real-time shear wave elastography (SWE) for liver fibrosis in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) patients. Methods A total of 75 AIH patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2013 to April 2022 were retrospectively enrolled. Scheuer scoring system was used to evaluate degrees of liver fibrosis (S0-S4). By using pathological examination of liver tissues as the golden standard, the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was plotted and the area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of SWE for the significant fibrosis (≥S2), advanced liver fibrosis (≥S3), and liver cirrhosis (S4), respectively. Independent sample t test was used for comparison of continuous data with normal distribution between the two groups. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups and Bonferroni method was used for further comparison between two groups. The Spearman correlation coefficient was used for correlation analysis. The logistic regression analysis was used to predict the impact factors in diagnosis accuracy. Results The Young's modulus measured by SWE was statistically significant different among various fibrosis groups ( H =35.186, P < 0.001) although there was no statistical significance in patients' age and platelet, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, and glutamyl transpeptidase levels (all P > 0.05). The Young's modulus measurement was positively correlated with liver fibrosis ( r =0.675, P < 0.05). The AUCs of SWE in the diagnosis of≥S2, ≥S3, and S4 were 0.839, 0.820 and 0.898, respectively and the corresponding optimum cut-off values were 9.2, 10.9, and 14.4 kPa, respectively. The overall concordance rate of the liver Young' s modulus measurements vs . fibrosis stages was 57.33%. Moreover, the alkaline phosphatase level was an independent predictor for diagnostic accuracy of SWE for stage 0-1 fibrosis ( OR =1.009, 95% CI : 1.001-1.018, P =0.029). Conclusion The SWE possessed a diagnosis value for the significant fibrosis (≥S2), advanced liver fibrosis (≥S3) and liver cirrhosis (S4), although there was a low overall concordance rate in the liver Young's modulus measurements obtained using SWE vs. fibrosis stages.

ObjectiveTo explore the intervention mechanism of Xiangsha Liujunzi Tang in rats with functional dyspepsia (FD) based on the Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA)/Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2 (ROCK2)/Myosin phosphatase target Subunit 1 (MYPT1) pathway. MethodSixty male SD suckling rats in SPF grades were randomly divided into blank group (n=10) and model group (n=50). The comprehensive modeling method (gavage administration of iodoacetamide+exhaustion of swimming+disturbance of hunger and satiety) was used to replicate the rat model of FD. After successful replication of the model, the rats in the model group were randomly divided into model group, mosapride group, and high, middle, and low-dose Xiangsha Liujunzi Tang groups, with 10 rats in each group. Rats in the blank group and model group were given 10 mL kg-1·d-1 normal saline, those in the mosapride group were given 1.35 mg·kg-1·d-1 mosapride, and those in the high, middle, and low-dose Xiangsha Liujunzi Tang groups were given 12, 6, and 3 g·kg-1·d-1 Xiangsha Liujunzi Tang, respectively. The intervention lasted 14 days. The general living conditions of rats were observed before and after modeling and administration, and the 3-hour food intake and body mass of rats were measured. After intervention, the intestinal propulsion rate of rats was measured, and the pathological changes in the gastric tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The content of choline acetyl transferase (ChAT) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the medulla oblongata and gastric tissue homogenate was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the distribution of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) enzyme in gastric antrum smooth muscle was observed by frozen section staining, and the protein expression levels of RhoA, ROCK2, and phosphorylated-myosin phosphatase target subunit 1 (p-MYPT1) in the gastric tissue were detected by Western blot. ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group had withered hair, lazy movement, slow action, poor general living condition, lower 3-hour food intake, body mass, and lower intestinal propulsion rate (P<0.05), whereas no obvious abnormality in gastric histopathology. In the model group, the content of ChAT in the medulla oblongata and gastric tissue decreased, the content of VIP in gastric tissue increased, the distribution of ATP enzyme in gastric antrum smooth muscle decreased significantly, and the protein expression levels of RhoA, ROCK2, and p-MYPT1 in the gastric tissue decreased significantly (P<0.05). As compared with the model group, the general living condition of rats in each intervention group was significantly improved, and the 3-hour food intake, body mass, and intestinal propulsion rate were significantly increased (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in gastric pathology in the intervention groups. The content of ChAT in the medulla oblongata and gastric tissue increased significantly, the content of VIP in the gastric tissue decreased, the distribution of ATP enzyme in gastric antrum smooth muscle increased significantly, and the protein expression levels of RhoA, ROCK2, and p-MYPT1 in the gastric tissue increased significantly (P<0.05). The intervention effect of Xiangsha Liujunzi Tang group on the above indexes was dose-dependent. ConclusionXiangsha Liujunzi Tang can effectively improve the general living condition and gastric motility of rats with FD, and its specific mechanism may be related to the activation of the RhoA/ROCK2/MYPT1 pathway in the gastric tissue to regulate smooth muscle relaxation and contraction and promote gastric motility.

Objective To analyze the composition and influencing factors of the hospitalization expenses of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases who has participated in basic medical insurance, and to provide evidence for controlling excessive increase in the hospitalization expenses and reducing the financial burden of patients. Methods The hospitalization information of 14,271 insured patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 in Xianning City, Hubei Province was retrospectively collected. The basic information of the patients and the composition of their hospitalization expenses were descriptively analyzed, and the influencing factors of hospitalization expenses of the patients were analyzed by univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis. Results Among the patients included in the study, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and essential hypertension were the four main types of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases with the largest proportion of hospitalization expenses, accounting for 26.18%, 20.29%, 11.82% and 9.94%, respectively. The largest proportion of hospitalization expenses was treatment expenses and drug expenses, accounting for 44.09% and 32.52%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, length of stay, type of insurance, type of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, whether there were other comorbidities or complications, and whether they visited tertiary medical institutions were the influencing factors of hospitalization expenses for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Conclusion It is necessary to strengthen the disease prevention and control for the elderly and patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and essential hypertension, accelerate the integration of the basic medical insurance system, scientifically and reasonably shorten the length of hospital stay, and strengthen the promotion of the hierarchical medical system.
