Guided by the theories of yin-yang and collateral disease, this paper identifies the dysregulation of yang qi ascent and descent as the core pathomechanism of hypertension. Based on clinical experience, a treatment approach centered on the method of raising yang and promoting descent was proposed. Clinically, three major syndrome types were identified. Firstly, deficiency of zong qi (ancestral qi) with blood stasis, obstruction of phlegm-turbidity and blood stasis, and hyperactivity of liver yang. Corresponding empirical formulation, Yizong Huoxue Decoction (益宗活血汤) was applied to tonify zong qi, invigorate blood, and raise yang. Secondly, Lizong Huoxue Decoction (理宗活血汤) was used to resolve phlegm, promote yang qi circulation, and regulate qi and blood. Thirdly, Qinggan Tongluo Decoction (清肝通络饮) was used to clear the liver, dredge collaterals, and subdue hyperactive yang. For special types such as non-dipper hypertension, time-specific syndrome differentiation and treatment can be applied based on a thorough understanding of the underlying pathomechanism, aiming to provide new insights into clinical diagnosis and treatment of hypertension.

AIM: To explore the effects of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery combined with intraocular lens implantation(FLACS-IOL)on postoperative deviation rate of multifocal intraocular lens(MIOL)and visual quality in cataract patients.METHODS: In the prospective study, 95 patients with cataract(108 eyes)who underwent MIOL implantation in the hospital between January 2021 and December 2022 were enrolled. According to different surgical methods, they were divided into FLACS group(51 cases, 56 eyes)and Phaco group(44 cases, 52 eyes). The operation time, incision diameter of anterior capsule, effective phaco time(EPT), cumulative dissipated energy(CDE), uncorrected distance visual acuity(UCDVA), best corrected distance visual acuity(BCDVA), eccentricity distance of IOL and deviation rate at 3 mo after surgery, total high order aberration(HOA), Trefoil and coma under 3 mm pupil were compared between the two groups.RESULTS: The operation time in the FLACS group was significantly shorter than that in the Phaco group, EPT and CDE were significantly lower than those in the Phaco group(all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in incision diameter of anterior capsule between the two groups(P>0.05). At 1 wk, 3 mo after surgery, UCDVA in the FLACS group was better than that in the Phaco group(all P<0.05). There were significant difference in UCDVA at 1 wk, 3 mo after surgery or BCDVA at 3 mo after surgery between the two groups(P<0.05). At 3 mo after surgery, eccentricity distance of IOL in the FLACS group was shorter than that in the Phaco group, and deviation rate was significantly lower than that in the Phaco group(all P<0.05). Under pupil diameter of 3 mm, HOA, trefoil and coma of whole eyes were decreased in both groups at 3 mo after surgery(P<0.05). At 3 mo after surgery, there were significant differences in HOA and trefoil of whole eyes between the FLACS group and Phaco group(P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in coma at 3 mo after surgery(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: FLACS-IOL can effectively reduce deviation rate of IOL and obtain better visual quality in cataract patients.

Objective·To measure the parameters of the uterine artery,umbilical artery and middle cerebral artery in a rat model of preeclampsia(PE)by Doppler ultrasound,and compare the pathological changes in placental blood vessels and pregnancy outcomes,in order to provide an effective method and reference for evaluating placental function in PE animal models.Methods·PE(n=8)and normal pregnancy(NP,n=8)groups in Sprague-Dawley(SD)rat models were established by intraperitoneal injections of N'-nitro-L-arginine methylesterhydrochloride(L-NAME)and 0.9%sodium chloride solution.Blood pressure and proteinuria indexes were detected to evaluate whether the model was successfully established.On gestational day 19(GD19),Doppler ultrasound was utilized to measure the parameters of the uterine artery,umbilical artery and the fetal middle cerebral artery in both the PE and NP groups.After termination of the pregnancies,placental function was evaluated through the pathology of placental blood vessels and the quality of the fetuses and placentas.Results·In the PE group,both blood pressure(GD15:P=0.001;GD19:P=0.001)and proteinuria(GD15:P=0.001;GD19:P=0.001)were significantly higher than those in the NP group.The pulsatility index(PI)of the umbilical artery and uterine artery was notably elevated in the PE group compared to the NP group(both P=0.000).Furthermore,the resistance index(RI)of the fetal middle cerebral artery was significantly lower than that in the PE group(P=0.000).While the number of fetal rats did not differ significantly,the quality of placental and fetal rats was notably lower in the PE group(P=0.006 and P=0.000,respectively).Immunohistochemical staining of placental tissue revealed that the number of placental micro vessel densities in the PE group was less than that in the NP group(P=0.001).Correlation analysis revealed that placental micro vessel density,fetal quality and placental quality were inversely related with the RI of the umbilical artery and the PI and RI of the uterine artery,and positively correlated with the S/D,PI and RI of the fetal middle cerebral artery(all P<0.05).Conculsion·Doppler ultrasound assessment of the uterine artery,umbilical artery and middle cerebral artery indices in L-NAME-induced PE rat models effectively reflects pregnancy outcomes and placental vascular pathology.This method is valuable for evaluating placental vascular perfusion in PE rat models,offering practicality and convenience for research involving animal models.

Objective:To summarize the best evidence for early enteral nutrition support in postoperative patients with gastric cancer and evaluate its effectiveness.Methods:From March to August 2021, 108 postoperative patients with gastric cancer admitted to the Gastrointestinal Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University were selected. We applied evidence-based nursing methods to summarize the best evidence for early enteral nutrition support in postoperative gastric cancer patients, and constructed and implemented the best evidence application strategy through baseline review, evaluation of evidence application clinical scenarios and barriers. We compared the various indicators of two groups of patients before the application of evidence (March to May 2021, n=55) and after the application of evidence (June to August 2021, n=53) . Results:No adverse events occurred during the application of evidence. After applying evidence, the correct nutritional assessment rate increased from 41.82% (23/55) at baseline review to 90.57% (48/53), the implementation rate of early postoperative enteral nutrition increased from 0 to 45.28% (24/53), the start time of postoperative enteral nutrition shortened from (3.75±2.33) days to (2.06±1.38) days, and the implementation rate of postoperative priority oral nutrition increased from 63.64% (35/55) to 86.79% (46/53), nutritional related complications decreased from 40.00% (22/55) to 20.75% (11/53), and the differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The application of the best evidence for early enteral nutrition support in postoperative gastric cancer patients can shorten the start time of postoperative enteral nutrition, reduce postoperative nutrition related complications, and promote early recovery of patients.

Objective:To analyze the molecular characteristics of Echovirus 11 (Echo11) strains isolated in Xiangyang, Hubei Province from 2016 to 2017 based on the sequences of VP1 gene.Methods:Rectal and throat swab specimens were collected from children with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Xiangyang from 2016 to 2017. Echo11 strains were detected by real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) and isolated after cultured in human rhabdosarcoma (RD) cells. The VP1 regions of Echo11 strains isolated from RD cells and the whole genomes of three representative Echo11 strains were amplified by conventional RT-PCR and the sequences were analyzed. DNAStar7.0 (MegAlign) and MEGA6.0 (Data) were used to analyze the homology and mutation sites in nucleotide and amino acid sequences. Neighbor-joining method was used to construct phylogenetic trees. Recombination analysis was performed with SimPlot software (BootScanning).Results:A total of 11 Echo11 strains were isolated from 3 494 HFMD cases, accounting for 0.31%. They were highly homologous in the VP1 gene. These strains shared 98.4%-100.0% homology in nucleotide sequences and 98.3%-100.0% homology in amino acid sequences. The homology between the 11 Echo11 strains and the prototype strain (Echo11/Gregory, X80059) was 73.9%-74.8% in nucleotide sequences and 87.7%-88.7% in amino acid sequences. All of the Echo11 strains circulating in Xiangyang were classified into lineage D, having a similarity to the strains circulating in some regions of mainland China since 2013. In multiple regions of the genome, the Echo11 strains isolated in Xiangyang were highly similar to the Henan Echo1 strains in 2010 and the Hubei Echo6 strains in 2015, suggesting there was recombination within the genome of Echo11 strains in Xiangyang.Conclusions:The Echo11 strains circulating in Xiangyang from 2016 to 2017 belonged to lineage D and were recombinant strains.

Objective:To develop bundled and continuous nursing measures for patients during daytime chemotherapy after gastric cancer surgery and explore its effects.Methods:Literature search, expert consultation and field visits were used to understand the needs of patients during daytime chemotherapy after gastric cancer surgery, specify the corresponding measures, and determine the final evidence-based bundled and continuous nursing measures. Totally 62 patients undergoing the first chemotherapy after gastric cancer surgery from May to December 2018 were included into the control group, and 53 patients undergoing the first chemotherapy after gastric cancer surgery from January to July 2019 were included into the intervention group. Patients in the control group received conventional continuous nursing, while patients in the intervention group received evidence-based bundled and continuous nursing. The laboratory tests and chemotherapy compliance during the eight chemotherapy treatments were compared between the two groups of patients, and the quality of life and satisfaction with the medical and nursing staff after the eight chemotherapy treatments of the two groups of patients were observed.Results:After the implementation of evidence-based bundled and continuous nursing measures, the compliance of the intervention group was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05) . There were statistically significant differences in the quality of life between the two groups, except for cognitive function, sleep and economic status ( P<0.05) . The satisfaction with the medical and nursing staff in the control group was 79.03% (49/62) lower than 92.45% (49/53) in the intervention group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The evidence-based bundled and continuing nursing measures can improve the compliance, quality of life and satisfaction with the medical nursing staff in patients undergoing the first chemotherapy after gastric cancer surgery.

Objective? To construct a nursing intervention model based on the theory of planned behavio(r TPB), to prevent deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremities, and to explore its application in patients with gastrointestinal cancer after operation. Methods? By convenience sampling, a total of 163 patients admitted in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Ningbo First Hospital, Zhejiang Province who underwent gastrointestinal surgeries from January to December in 2018 were selected as the research objects in this study. The 79 patients admitted from January to June in 2018 were taken as the control group and the conventional perioperative DVT prevention nursing care was given. The other 84 patients admitted from July to December in 2018 were taken as the observation group and the TPB based DVT nursing intervention model was adopted. The two groups were compared in terms of the patient's scores in cognition about DVT, postoperative ankle pump movement, quadriceps femoris movement, first out-of-bed activity within 24 hours and compliance with walking target volume within 3 days after surgery, as well as the number of cases of DVT during hospitalization after surgery. Results? The score of DVT knowledge in the observation group was higher than that in the control group; the compliance of ankle pump movement, quadriceps femoris movement and the proportion of patients getting out of bed for the first time within 24 hours after operation in the observation group were higher than those in the control group; the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The rate of achieving 500 m walking goal in the observation group was higher than that in the control group 3 days after operation, but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). There were 7 cases of DVT in control group and 1 case in observation group after operation, and there was statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusions? The DVT nursing intervention model based on TPB is helpful to improve the cognitive level of DVT in patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery, improve the compliance of lower limb activities and early ambulation, and reduce the incidence of DVT after surgery, establish good healthy behavior for patients undergoing gastrointestinal cancer surgery and effectively prevent DVT.
