		                        			Gastrointestinal motility disorder is an important cause of digestive system diseases. Patients often suffer from nausea, vomiting, gastric retention, gastroparesis, constipation, and many other symptoms, and their quality of life is seriously reduced. Prokinetic agents are routinely used in clinical practice, but their long-term use is prone to problems such as reduced efficacy and increased adverse reactions. Since the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases has continued to rise globally in recent years, there is an urgent need for clinical development of safe and effective treatment strategies. Aurantii Fructus, a traditional Chinese medicine, has the effect of smoothing Qi and eliminating distention, and it has been used to treat gastrointestinal diseases for thousands of years. In modern clinical practice, it is mainly used for the treatment and auxiliary treatment of various gastrointestinal diseases such as functional dyspepsia, functional constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome. The efficacy is remarkable, and no adverse reactions have been reported at conventional doses. Therefore, it can greatly improve the symptoms of patients with gastrointestinal diseases and improve their quality of life. Modern research has revealed that there are many active components in Aurantii Fructus, among which flavonoids have the highest content and the most types. Flavonoids are the main active components in Aurantii Fructus to regulate gastrointestinal motility. Aurantii Fructus and its active components can affect gastrointestinal hormones, neural pathways, Cajal mesenchymal cells, and other multiple mechanisms. They can adjust gastrointestinal motility and correct gastrointestinal motility disorders, showing potential application value in the treatment of gastrointestinal motility disorders. However, a comprehensive analysis of Aurantii Fructus in this aspect is still lacking. This study summarized the pharmacological activities of active components of Aurantii Fructus extract and its flavonoids, volatile oils, alkaloids, and coumarin on the regulation of gastrointestinal motility and explored the latest research progress on its mechanism. Finally, the adverse reactions of Aurantii Fructus were summarized. It aims to provide a scientific basis for the research and clinical application of Aurantii Fructus and its active components in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility.

		                        			As a new type of immunosuppressant,iguratimod can mediate the anti-inflammatory signaling pathway by inhibiting the proliferation of inflammatory cells and reducing the release of inflammatory cytokines, and play the role of anti-inflammatory. It can affect the proliferation of immune cells and the expression of immune factors,reduce the production and deposition of immune complexes in the body,and play the role of immune regulation. It can regulate bone metabolism by mediating signaling pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin,Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-κB and osteoprotegerin/nuclear factor-κB receptor activating factor ligand, and play a role in bone protection. It can inhibit pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting the expression of transforming growth factor β1/ Smad2/3 signaling pathway,tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-1,interleukin-6,matrix metalloproteinase-9 and other inflammatory cytokines in lung tissue,and inhibiting the expression of collagen and fibronectin. Its efficacy and safety have been confirmed in the clinical application of rheumatoid arthritis and primary Sjogren syndrome and included in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. It has also shown good efficacy in the clinical application of other connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and ankylosing spondylitis,and no obvious safety risks have been found.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of the application of microwave ablation assisted clamp-less suture-less nephron sparing surgery technique in the management of cystic renal cell carcinoma.Methods:The data of 21 consecutive patients with cystic renal cell carcinoma who underwent microwave ablation assisted clamp-less suture-less laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery (MACS-LNSS) in Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2017 to December 2020, were retrospectively analyzed. There were 17 males and 4 females with a mean age of (58.0±2.6) years old. There were 19 cases with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score 0 and 2 with score 1. The mean diameter of the tumor was (3.6±0.4) cm, and the mean distance from the collecting system was (10.7±0.9) mm with 12 located on the left and 9 on the right side. There were 5 cases of Bosniak Ⅲ with mean CT value (27.6±4.6) HU and 16 of Bosniak Ⅳ and the mean estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) was (84.1±4.1 ) ml/(min·1.73 m 2). The American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) graded 17 cas as grade 1, 3 cases as grade 2 and 1 cases as grade 3. MACS-LNSS was performed for all patients. The microwave ablation probe was introduced via the laparoscopic trocar and inserted into the tumor. Then all tumors were resected after microwave ablation was performed for 1 to 3 cycles lasting 2 to 5 minutes for each tumour with a power output of 60 to 100 W using an MTC-3C microwave ablation system. Results:MACS-LNSS was successfully performed in 20 cases. Another one converted to conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy because of intraoperative bleeding with 14 min renal artery branch clamped. No case converted to open surgery or radical nephrectomy. The mean operative time was (92.0±6.3) min, with a mean estimated blood loss of (60.0±7.2) ml. The mean length of postoperative hospital stay was (2.7±0.1) d. No case required perioperative transfusion. One case with fever and one case with urine leakage were observed postoperatively and recovered after conservative treatment. Pathologic results revealed 18 cases of clear cell carcinoma, 3 of low grade malignant potential multilocular cystic renal cell tumors. The median eGFR at 6 months postoperative was (82.9±3.8) ml/(min·1.73 m 2).No local recurrence and distant metastasis was observed with a mean follow-up of (41.3±1.5)(range from 32 to 58) months. Conclusions:MACS-LNSS which has the advantages of controllable complications is an alternative, safe and feasible technique for cystic renal cell carcinoma less than 7 cm, with regular tumor base, and the distance from the collecting system more than 5 mm.

		                        			 To analyze the current quality of treatment for hospitalized cancer patients in Beijing, identify major issues in treatment practices, and propose improvements. Nine hospitals in Beijing were selected for examination. Expert on-site interviews and medical record sampling were conducted. The "Beijing Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Quality Control Checklist" was used to assess the hardware, management, anti-cancer drug therapy, radiation therapy, and surgical treatment during cancer treatment at these hospitals from January to October 2023. The relevant problems were analyzed. Among the nine hospitals, two (22.2%) were equipped with laminar flow rooms, and three (33.3%) had intravenous drug preparation centers. In terms of institutional management, seven hospitals (77.8%) had standardized anti-cancer drug prescription authority management, eight (88.9%) had complete emergency plans, and five (55.6%) had oncology specialist pharmacists. Regarding anti-cancer drug therapy, the areas with higher completion rates included pathology diagnosis support (97.6%), routine pre-treatment examinations (96.3%), adverse reaction evaluation(92.7%), discharge summaries (95.1%), and admission records (91.5%). However, the accuracy of tumor staging before treatment (70.7%) and the evaluation of therapeutic efficacy after drug treatment (76.9%) needed improvement. The oncology specialty significantly outperformed the non-oncology specialty in terms of the accuracy rate of TNM staging (86.0%  There remains significant room for improvement in the quality of cancer treatment in China. It is recommended to standardize tumor staging assessment processes, strengthen entry assessments for non-oncology departments, promote the implementation of multidisciplinary treatment models, and establish a multi-department collaborative management model.Continuous monitoring of cancer diagnosis and treatment quality indicators is essential to promote ongoing improvements in cancer treatment quality.

		                        			Abstract
		                        			Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.

		                        			 Background:
		                        			Long coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in recovered patients (RPs) is gradually recognized by more people. However, how long it will last and the underlining mechanism remains unclear. 
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			We conducted a prospective follow-up study to evaluate the long-term symptoms and clinical indices of RPs at one-year after discharge from Union Hospital, Wuhan, China between December 2020 to May 2021. We also performed the 16S rRNA sequencing of stool samples from RPs and healthy controls (HCs) and analyzed the correlation between the gut microbiota and long COVID-19. 
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			In total, 187 RPs were enrolled, among them, 84 (44.9%) RPs reported long COVID-19 symptoms at one-year after discharge. The most common long-term symptoms were cardiopulmonary symptoms, including chest tightness after activity (39/187, 20.9%), palpitations on exercise (27/187, 14.4%), sputum (21/187, 11.2%), cough (15/187, 8.0%) and chest pain (13/187, 7.0%), followed by systemic symptoms including fatigue (34/187, 18.2%) and myalgia (20/187, 10.7%), and digestive symptoms including constipation (14/187, 7.5%), anorexia (13/187, 7.0%), and diarrhea (8/187, 4.3%). Sixty-six (35.9%) RPs presented either anxiety or depression (42/187 [22.8%] and 53/187 [28.8%] respectively), and the proportion of anxiety or depression in the long symptomatic group was significantly higher than that in the asymptomatic group (41/187 [50.6%] vs. 25/187 [24.3%]). Compared with the asymptomatic group, scores of all nine 36-Item Short Form General Health Survey domains were lower in the symptomatic group (all P < 0.05). One hundred thirty RPs and 32 HCs (non-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infected subjects) performed fecal sample sequencing.Compared with HCs, symptomatic RPs had obvious gut microbiota dysbiosis including significantly reduced bacterial diversities and lower relative abundance of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)-producing salutary symbionts such as Eubacterium_hallii_group, Subdoligranulum, Ruminococcus, Dorea, Coprococcus, and Eubacterium_ventriosum_group. Meanwhile, the relative abundance of Eubacterium_hallii_group, Subdoligranulum, and Ruminococcus showed decreasing tendencies between HCs, the asymptomatic group, and the symptomatic group.
