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.

Chronic heart failure （CHF） is a complex clinical syndrome that the cardiac output is not enough to meet the metabolic needs of the body， or depends on the increase of filling pressure to compensate. Its high morbidity and mortality pose a serious threat to human health， necessitating attention and active intervention. At present， western medicine treatment of CHF is mainly based on diuretics， intravenous vasodilators， intravenous positive inotropic drugs， etc.， which， however， have problems such as long medication cycles， serious side effects， and limited applicable population. Recent studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine can act in a multi-pathway， multi-component， and multi-target manner， showing unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of CHF. Buyang Huanwutang has the effects of tonifying Qi， activating blood， and dredging collaterals. Clinical and mechanism studies have confirmed that this prescription is effective in treating CHF and its syndromes. The clinical studies can be classified into two categories. Studies of the first category use simple modern medical diagnostic criteria as the inclusion criteria for CHF patients， which can improve the scientificity and objectivity. Studies of the second category uses modern medicine combined with traditional Chinese medicine disease diagnostic criteria for the screening of CHF patients， which helps to improve the accuracy of efficacy evaluation. However， there are problems such as the lack of unified research standards and the insufficiency of mechanism research. In addition， the available studies remain to be classified or summarized. This study systematically sorted out the clinical and mechanism studies of Buyang Huanwutang in the treatment of CHF in recent years to review the research status. In clinical treatment， Buyang Huanwutang can be used alone， or modified， or combined with other prescriptions or Western medicine. The mechanism studies predict that Buyang Huanwutang can ameliorate CHF by regulating the calcium balance， protecting the mitochondrial structure and function， and regulating intestinal flora. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the clinical application and optimization and subsequent in-depth study of Buyang Huanwutang in the treatment of CHF.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To develop a vancomycin individualized dosing-assisted decision platform suitable for practical clinical application scenarios and provide individualized dosing recommendations for the rational use of vancomycin. METHODS Based on the vancomycin population pharmacokinetic model that had been constructed and verified to be feasible, the vancomycin individualized assisted decision-making platform was developed by using Idea2019, JDK1.8, ETL and other software tools. The platform development had gone through three main stages, included ①requirement analysis; ②design stage; ③software testing and optimization. RESULTS The vancomycin individualized assisted decision-making platform, which was successfully developed and applied, had the advantages of simple page, perfect function and convenient operation, and was divided into four main modules according to functions, namely retrieval module, information module, concentration prediction module and reporting module. The platform could connect to the hospital intranet platform to automatically obtain patient information, medication information and blood concentration test results, and calculate individual pharmacokinetic parameters for subsequent concentration prediction based on the embedded population pharmacokinetic model, combined with individual parameters. The concentration prediction module incorporated the Bayesian feedback method with patient medication information, drug concentration measurement results and relevant covariate parameter values, took the guideline-recommended trough concentration and AUC range as the target value, calculated the individualized drug administration scheme that met the target concentration range, and set up custom simulation functions considering the actual clinical application scenarios, which was of more popularization and application value. CONCLUSION Based on the vancomycin population pharmacokinetic model that has been successfully constructed in the previous stage, with the assistance of Idea2019, JDK1.8, ETL and other software tools, a vancomycin individualized dosing-assisted decision platform has successfully constructed, which can more efficiently and conveniently assist monitoring pharmacists to provide individualized dosing advice for clinical use of vancomycin.

Objective:To investigate the value of serum miR-143 level combined with MRI in predicting the early response to concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in cervical cancer.Methods:A total of 85 patients with pathologically confirmed cervical cancer underwent conventional MRI, intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI), and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) before CCRT. The biopsy tissues and serum samples were collected. The differential expression of miRNA in the biopsy tissues was determined by microarray chip. The expression level of miR-143 in the serum samples was analyzed by qRT-PCR. All patients were divided into the non-residual and residual tumor groups according to post-treatment MRI. Pre-treatment clinical factors, MRI parameters and miR-143 between two groups were statistically analyzed by the univariate and multivariate analyses. The optimal thresholds and predictive performance for post-treatment incidence of residual tumors were estimated by drawing the ROC curve.Results:At one month after CCRT, there were 52 patients in the non-residual tumor group and 33 patients in the residual tumor group. In the residual tumor group, pre-treatment FIGO staging, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), D and V e were significantly higher (all P<0.05), whereas K trans value was significantly lower ( P<0.001) when compared to those in the non-residual tumor group. The miRNA array analysis showed that there were 16 miRNAs with differential expression levels between two groups (all P<0.05). Among them, the increase of miR-143 was the most significant in the residual tumor group. Compared with the residual tumor group, the expression level of serum miR-143 was significantly down-regulated in the non-residual tumor group ( P=0.002). Compared with the SiHa cells, the expression level of miR-143 in the SiHa-R cells was significantly up-regulated ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that only miR-143, D, K trans and V e were the independent prognostic factors. The combination of multi-parametric MRI and miR-143 exhibited the highest predictive performance (AUC=0.975), with a sensitivity of 84.8% and a specificity of 96.2%. Conclusion:The combination of multi-parametric MRI with miR-143 further improves the predictive performance for residual tumors after CCRT, which contributes to the personalized treatment of cervical cancer.

Objective:To deeply understand the reason and inner experience of day surgery patients canceling surgery through qualitative research, so as to strengthen the management of day surgery patients.Methods:This research adopted phenomenological research method. From June to December 2019, purpose sampling was used to select 12 patients who had canceled the day surgery at Ningbo First Hospital in Zhejiang Province for a semi-structured interview. The Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used for data analysis.Results:Through repeated refining, analysis and extraction of interview data, the reasons and inner experience of day surgery patients who canceled surgery were finally summarized into 5 themes. Those themes included fear of day surgery, distrust of day doctors, affected by basic diseases and physiological factors, lack of confidence in community medical care, insufficient preparation before surgery.Conclusions:The reasons for day surgery patients to cancel surgery include fear of surgery, distrust of doctors, basic diseases and physiological factors, lack of confidence in community medical care, and insufficient preparation before surgery. It is recommended that day surgery medical and nursing staff strengthen day ward management, improve their professional level and ability to communicate with patients, and at the same time promote the construction of hospital-community integration to ensure the medical safety of patients after discharge from the hospital, and further reduce the cancellation rate of day surgery.
