ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Tangning Tongluo tablets in the treatment of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (DR). MethodsFourteen research centers participated in this study, which spanned a time interval from September 2021 to May 2023. A total of 240 patients with nonproliferative DR were included and randomly assigned into an observation group (120 cases) and a control group (120 cases). The observation group was treated with Tangning Tongluo tablets, and the control group with calcium dobesilate capsules. Both groups were treated for 24 consecutive weeks. The vision, DR progression rate, retinal microhemangioma, hemorrhage area, exudation area, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, and TCM syndrome score were assessed before and after treatment, and the safety was observed. ResultsThe vision changed in both groups after treatment (P<0.05), and the observation group showed higher best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) than the control group (P<0.05). The DR progression was slow with similar rates in the two groups. The fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area did not change significantly after treatment in both groups, while the observation group outperformed the control group in reducing the fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area. There was no significant difference in the number of microhemangiomas between the two groups before treatment. After treatment, the number of microhemangiomas decreased in both the observation group (Z=-1.437, P<0.05) and the control group (Z=-2.238, P<0.05), and it showed no significant difference between the two groups. As the treatment time prolonged, the number of microhemangiomas gradually decreased in both groups. There was no significant difference in the HbA1c level between the two groups before treatment. After treatment, the decline in the HbA1c level showed no significant difference between the two groups. The TCM syndrome score did not have a statistically significant difference between the two groups before treatment. After treatment, neither the TCM syndrome score nor the response rate had significant difference between the two groups. With the extension of the treatment time, both groups showed amelioration of TCM syndrome compared with the baseline. ConclusionTangning Tongluo tablets are safe and effective in the treatment of nonproliferative DR, being capable of improving vision and reducing hemorrhage and exudation in the fundus.

Objective:To investigate the impact of rosacea on patients' quality of life and mental health, and to analyze variations across different subtypes, gender, sun exposure, smoking status, ethnicity, and educational levels, as well as patients' demands for treatment.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study from October 2022 to January 2024, 177 rosacea patients from the Department of Dermatology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University were surveyed. The cohort comprised 36 males and 141 females, with a median age of 35 (29, 44) years. Data collected through questionnaires included general information, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Patient Need Questionnaire (PNQ). Statistical analysis was conducted on the collected data.Results:The median DLQI score was 10 (3, 15), indicating moderate impact. The median GAD-7 score was 5 (2, 7), suggesting mild anxiety; while the median PHQ-9 score was 6 (2, 9), indicating mild depression. Female patients scored higher in both DLQI and GAD-7 than males ( P<0.05). Papulopustular subtypes had higher DLQI and GAD-7 scores compared to other subtypes ( P<0.01). Patients with lower education levels scored higher in DLQI and GAD-7 than those with higher education ( P<0.01), and non-smokers had higher GAD-7 scores than smokers ( P<0.05). Significant positive correlations were found between DLQI and PHQ-9 ( r=0.39, P<0.01), and DLQI and GAD-7 ( r=0.51, P<0.01), as well as between PHQ-9 and GAD-7 ( r=0.59, P<0.01). Regarding treatment needs, 159 patients (89.8%) expressed a strong desire for a clear diagnosis and treatment plan, and the same number wished for a complete resolution of all skin lesions. Female patients consistently demonstrated significantly stronger demands in all 28 treatment need items (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Rosacea significantly affects patients' quality of life and mental health, particularly among females, individuals with papulopustular subtypes, and those with lower education levels. There is a strong demand for definitive diagnostic and therapeutic plans, especially among female patients.

China’s chronic disease management suffers from problems such as unclear institutional function, insufficient information technology application, and weak regulation support. On the basis of current chronic disease management condition in China, this paper proposes to apply the concept of “people-centered” integrated health management to community chronic disease management and discusses the content and procedure of establishing an integrated community-based chronic disease management model driven by massive databases. The model innovatively combines technology integration, data integration and service integration, and can accurately and efficiently realize the "people-centered" full-course health management of various chronic diseases. Shanghai has provided integrated community-based chronic disease management service for 1.98 million citizens through applying this model. The model warrants further effectiveness and economic evaluation. This study provides precious experience for the development of chronic disease prevention and treatment in China.

Objective:To investigate the effect of methoxyamine combined with target guided fluid in elderly patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods:90 elderly patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy were randomly divided into methoxyamine group and control group, with 45 cases in each group. The patients in both groups were treated with intravenous inhalation combined anesthesia. The stroke volume variation (SVV) was maintained at 7%-10% and the central venous pressure (CVP) was 4-8 cmH 2O. In methoxyamine group, 3 μg/(kg·min) methoxyamine was continuously pumped, while the control group was pumped with the same amount of normal saline at the same speed. The intraoperative infusion volume, urine volume, bleeding volume, blood transfusion cases, intraoperative mean arterial pressure, heart rate, blood gas analysis results, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), creatinine, urea nitrogen level and postoperative exhaust time were compared between the two groups. Results:Compared with the control group, the patients in methoxyamine group had less infusion volume, urine volume, lower postoperative BNP level and heart rate, shorter postoperative exhaust time (all P<0.05), and higher mean arterial pressure ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in blood loss, blood transfusion cases, PaO 2, PaCO 2, pH, creatinine and urea nitrogen between the two groups (all P>0.05). In addition, the number of patients in the methoxyamine group who used pressor drugs was less than that in the control group ( P<0.05), and the frequency of bradycardia was more than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The proportion of tachycardia and urapidil was similar in the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Methoxyamine combined with target guided fluid therapy can reduce the intraoperative infusion volume of pancreaticoduodenectomy in elderly patients, stabilize circulation, shorten postoperative exhaust time, and contribute to the recovery of gastrointestinal function.

In recent years, it has been found that reactive astrocytes (RAS) can affect the pathological process of AD through various mechanisms, such as increasing the production and deposition of β-amyloid (Aβ), aggravating the neurotoxicity of Aβ and disturbance of neurotransmitter release. Currently, the mechanism of drug treatment for AD is mainly targeted at clearance of Aβ, but the efficacy is still uncertain. Recent studies have shown that most AD-related genes are obviously expressed in RAS. Therefore, regulating the morphology and function of RAS through drug intervention may provide new ideas for treatment of AD. The authors review the research status in the molecular mechanism of RAS in the progress and treatment of AD, in order to provide more references for RAS as a target in the prevention and treatment of AD.

Objective:To analyze the influenza vaccination status of chronic disease management patients in Qingpu district of Shanghai and the vaccination characteristics of different characteristic populations, so as to provide scientific basis for improving the influenza vaccination rate of chronic disease patients in the community.Methods:By comparing the data of Shanghai chronic disease management information system, immunization planning information system and medical association platform, 89 453 subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in Qingpu district were selected as the research objects. The vaccination coverage rate of the study subjects was calculated according to gender, age group, urban and rural distribution, occupation, chronic disease type and quantity, and the vaccination coverage rate of different subgroups was compared to analyze the influencing factors of vaccination coverage rate.Results:Most of the 89 453 patients with chronic diseases were 60 years old and above (71.93%). Patients with hypertension, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmoriary disease (COPD) and three chronic diseases accounted for 87.12%, 28.67%, 8.71% and 1.83%, respectively. Influenza vaccination coverage in the 2016/2017 flu season was low, at 0.32%. Influenza vaccination coverage rate of women (0.37%) was higher than that of men (0.27%), which was 1.41 times respectively(95% CI: 1.16, 1.72) that of men patients. The coverage rate of influenza vaccination for the 70-79 year-old group was the highest (0.74%), which was 1.74 times respectively(95% CI: 1.39, 2.19) that of 60-69 year-old patients. The vaccination coverage rate of government departments and institutions was the highest (1.14%), which was 12.58 times respectively(95% CI: 4.52, 34.99) that of retirees. The vaccination rate of COPD patients (3.68%) was 2.50 times (95% CI: 1.66, 3.77) higher than that of patients without COPD.Conclusions:Influenza vaccination rate for chronic disease management patients in Qingpu district of Shanghai is low. Gender, occupation, age and types of chronic diseases are the influencing factors. Patients with chronic disease management should be included in the priority vaccination targets for influenza vaccines, and vaccination intervention for occupational chronic diseases such as non-retired agriculture and forestry patients, especially male patients, should be strengthened to improve influenza vaccination coverage rate.

Objective:To explore the effect of PSD-95 inhibitor ZL006 in neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD) and its potential mechanism.Methods:The seven-day-old healthy Wistar rats( n=80) were randomly divided into control group( n=20), sham operation group( n=20) and operation group (HIBD model group, n=40). The operation group was randomly divided into ZL006, treatment group (intraperitoneal injection of ZL006, 10 mg/kg, n=20) and non-treatment group ( n=20). The neonatal rats of each group were randomly selected on the 1st and 7th day after operation, and the degree of cerebral infarction was observed by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining.The protein expression level of brain tissue in the injured area was examed by Western blot, and the effects of ZL006 on oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymes in rats with HIBD were evaluated by ELISA. Results:(1) On the first day after operation, the brain injury was the most serious in the non-treatment group, and the cerebral infarction decreased in the ZL006 treatment group.On the 7th day after operation, a little infarction could be seen in the operation group, but there was no significant difference among other three groups.(2)On the first day after operation, the expression of PSD-95 protein in the operation group was significantly higher than that in the control group and sham operation group( P<0.01). There was significant difference in the expression of PSD-95 protein between the ZL006 treatment group and the non-treatment group ( P<0.05). On the 7th day after operation, there was no significant difference in the expression of PSD-95 protein among three groups.(3)On the first day after operation, the expression of 4-hydroxynonenal in the operation group was significantly higher than that in the control group and sham operation group( P<0.01), and that in the non-treatment group was higher than that in the ZL006 treatment group ( P<0.05). On the 7th day after operation, there was no significant difference in the expression of 4-hydroxynonenal among three groups.(4) On the first day after operation, the expression of superoxide dismutase in the operation group was significantly lower than that in the control group and sham operation group( P<0.01), and that in the non-treatment group was lower than that in the ZL006 treatment group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression level of superoxide dismutase among three groups on the 7th day after operation. Conclusion:It is suggested that PSD-95 may be involved in the early pathogenesis of HIBD, and ZL006 may have neuroprotective effect on HIBD in newborn rats.
