ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#The compatibility of Eucommia ulmoides (Eu) and Psoralea corylifolia (Pc) on the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties in the rat was explored in this study.@*METHODS@#Eu extract, Pc extract and the combined extracts (crude drug ratio was 2:1) was administered by gavage, respectively. Two PK experiments were conducted. In first one, the blood samples were collected via the occuli chorioideae vein to get the PK properties of the components. In second one, the blood samples were simultaneously collected via the internal jugular vein or portal vein at different time points and the concentrations of target ingredients were detected by LC/MS/MS to clear the location where the interaction of Eu and Pc took place in vivo.@*RESULTS@#Eight of 11 ingredients in Eu and Pc extract were determined in rat plasma. The exposure levels of geniposidic acid (GPA), aucubin (AU), geniposide (GP), pinoresinol diglucoside (PDG), psoralen glycosides (PLG) and isopsoralen glycosides (IPLG) were decreased 1/5-2/3 after administration of combined extracts. Comparing to the combined administration, the exposure of GPA and AU in plasma of single Eu administration collected via the portal vein were decreased 1/3-2/3, and the values of AUC0-24h and AUC0-∞ of GP collected from the portal vein or internal jugular vein were double increased. The other components' parameters were not significantly changed.@*CONCLUSION@#In summary, the Pc and Eu combined administration could affect the exposure of the main components of Eu extract in rats due to the changed intestinal absorption. The research on the compatibility of Pc and Eu was helpful to guide the clinical administration of Eu and Pc simultaneously.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the dilemma of different participants in school psychological crisis intervention, so as to provide guidance for the implementation of comprehensive psychological crisis intervention from multiple perspectives.@*Methods@#From March 2022 to January 2023, a total of 10 psychological consultants, 10 counselors, 10 peer students, 10 parents and 10 clients were selected from a certain university using convenient sampling method was interviewed with semi structured interviews, and the transcribed data were analyzed according to grounded theory.@*Results@#The predicaments of psychological crisis intervention mainly involved three core themes: early warning, ethical dilemma and negative emotion. Early warning approaches mainly included three core themes: school, social media and other institutions, and 50 participants reported mainly on peer students in schools(18 cases) and online media in social media(18 cases). Ethical dilemmas mainly focued on the conflict between confidentiality breaches and privacy protection. The negative emotions mainly include three core themes of anxiety, fear and powerlessness, which were characterized by dispersion. The optimization expectation of psychological crisis intervention mainly consisted of two core themes: professional expectation and collaborative expectation, both of which were the common expectation of the people involved.@*Conclusion@#School psychological crisis intervention should pay attention to the establishment of crisis early warning system and dialectic between confidentiality breaches and privacy protection. Schools should prevent the dispersion of negative emotions of participants, deepen professional construction and the coordination between home and school, and implement psychological crisis intervention from a comprehensive perspective.
ABSTRACT
Chronic renal failure （CRF） is generally characterized by micro-inflammatory state， which can aggravate the CRF process in severe cases， leading to the deterioration of renal function， malnutrition， anemia and other complications. Therefore， it is of great significance to improve the micro-inflammatory state of CRF. "Deficiency of Qi and stagnation" is the basic pathogenesis of the micro-inflammatory state of CRF， which runs through the whole process of the disease and affects the formation and outcome of CRF in different forms. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has unique advantages in improving the micro-inflammatory state and enhancing the immunity of the body due to its advantages of syndrome differentiation and treatment， strengthening the righteousness and eliminating pathogenic factors. Therefore， the author systematically sorted out the relationship between micro-inflammatory state and CRF， understanding of micro-inflammatory state of CRF and its prevention and treatment of TCM by referring to relevant literature， based on the theory of "deficiency of Qi and stagnation"， and proposed that spleen and kidney failure （deficiency of Qi） is the origin of micro-inflammatory state of CRF， and blood stasis and poisonous evil （stagnation） is the target of its onset. Deficiency of Qi and stagnation adhered to each other， acted as cause and effect， and developed in a spiral manner throughout the development of the disease. TCM has the effects of nourishing the spleen and kidney， removing blood stasis and turbidity. By down-regulating C-reactive protein （CRP）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor alpha （TNF-α） and other micro-inflammatory indicators， it can eliminate the pathological wastes derived from spleen and kidney deficiency， reduce the micro-inflammatory state， restore the balance of Yin and Yang in the body to achieve the purpose of eliminating pathogens and protecting renal function， providing guidance for the clinical treatment of CRF.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the difference in the efficacy of three kinds of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） injections on rat model of heart failure induced by transverse aortic constriction （TAC）， explore the TCM syndrome of the model based on the theory of correspondence of prescription and syndrome， and reveal the biological basis of prescription-syndrome from the perspective of metabolism. MethodRats were treated with TAC for modeling and were divided into Shenmai injection group （6.0 mL·kg-1）， model group， Danhong injection group （6.0 mL·kg-1）， Shenfu injection group （6.0 mL·kg-1） and trimetazidine group （10 mg·kg-1）， and sham operation group was set up as control. After drug intervention for 15 days， echocardiography， serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide （NT-proBNP） and myocardial histopathological staining were performed for each group， so as to compare the efficacy to select the effective injection. Colorimetry was used to detect the serum glucolipid metabolism after the intervention of the effective injection， and ultra high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to observe the metabolites and related metabolic pathways in myocardial tissue. ResultCompared with the sham operation group， the left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） and left ventricular fractional shortening （FS） in the model group decreased （P<0.01）， while the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter （LVIDd）， left ventricular internal diameter at end-systole （LVIDs） and NT-proBNP level increased （P<0.01）. Compared with model group， LVEF and FS increased （P<0.01）， LVIDd， LVIDs and NT-proBNP level decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01） in Danhong injection group， NT-proBNP level in Shenfu injection group decreased （P<0.05）， LVIDd and NT-proBNP level increased （P<0.05， P<0.01） in Shenmai injection group， in trimetazidine group， LVEF and FS increased （P<0.01）， while LVIDs and NT-proBNP level decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Serum glucose， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in Danhong injection group and trimetazidine group were adjusted by callbacks （P<0.01， P<0.05）. There were the callback of 9 myocardial metabolites in Danhong injection group， including glycine， serine and threonine metabolism， glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism， glycerol phospholipid metabolism. There were the callback of 10 myocardial metabolites in trimetazidine group， including glycerol phospholipid metabolism. ConclusionThe efficacy of Danhong injection on heart failure model induced by TAC is significant and superior to Shenfu injection and Shenmai injection， suggesting that the model is closely related to heart-blood stasis. The biological mechanism of Danhong injection interfering with the model involves regulating the metabolic disorder of lipid， glucose， amino acid and butyric acid.
ABSTRACT
Chronic heart failure is a serious heart disease with dyspnea and limited activity tolerance as the main clinical manifestations. Activation of the inflammatory system can significantly stimulate cardiac fibrosis and remodeling and promote the progression of heart failure， playing a key role in the development of the disease. Studies have confirmed that inflammation is involved in the development of different types of heart failure. "Toxic pathogen theory" is an important basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） to explain the occurrence of diseases. We concluded the similarities between TCM toxic pathogens and inflammation in concept， disease location， etiology， syndrome differentiation， and clinical characteristics. Chronic heart failure is manifested by the toxic pathogens of turbid phlegm， stagnated blood， and accumulated fluid. Heart vessel obstruction is the main pathological factor， and the inflammatory factors produced by necrotic cardiomyocytes are the microscopic manifestations of the obstruction. Therefore， based on the "toxic pathogen theory"， this study aimed to clarify the role of inflammation in the development of chronic heart failure from both macroscopic and microscopic perspectives. Moreover， this paper proposed that the stagnated blood has not been transformed into toxin in the early stage of the disease and thus the products of clearing heat and detoxification should not be used. At the development stage of the disease when the transformation tends to begin， treatment should be based on syndrome differentiation， and detoxifying Chinese medicine should be used in order to achieve the goal of "removing toxin without harming the healthy Qi". At the late stage of heart failure， toxins have been accumulated and detoxifying medicines and therapies should be applied to eliminate the toxic pathogens. This study is expected to lay a foundation for the modern research on the role of inflammation in the development of chronic heart failure with TCM theory and guide the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the pathogen distribution of children with influenza in North China in the past 2018-2019 years, and compare the accuracy of influenza virus antigen test results with that of influenza virus nucleic acid test results, provide reference data for clinical use good influenza virus pathogen detection methods.Methods:Five hundred and eighty throat swab samples of influenza-like children in 10 hospitals, northern China, were collected from December 2018 to January 2019.Each sample was tested by rapid influenza diagnostic test and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results:Of all 580 clinical samples, 256 positive samples (256/580 cases, 44.14%)were detected by the influenza rapid influenza diagnostic test, of which 235 were pure influenza A(235/256 cases, 91.8%), 21 cases were pave influenza B(21/256 cases, 8.2%), and 324 case were negative samples(324/580 cases, 55.86%). No cases were detected positive A and B at the same time.Of all 580 samples were detected using the A /B influenza virus RT-PCR, and a total of 353 cases(353/580 cases, 60.9%) were positive (of which 242 cases were influenza virus antigen-positive), of which 311 were pure A influenza(311/353 cases, 88.1%) and 41 were pure B influenza(41/353 cases, 11.6%), 1 case of mixed infection of A and B(1/353 cases, 0.3%), and 227 cases were negative(227/580 cases, 39.1%). In 324 cases of influenza virus antigen negative samples, 111 cases(111/324 cases, 34.3%) were positive for influenza virus nucleic acid.The detection rate of influenza A in Taiyuan was 23.2% (22/95 cases), and the detection rate of influenza B was 43.2% (41/95 cases), which was significantly different from other regions.With reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction detection as the standard, the diagnostic value of influenza pathogen detection reagents was evaluated.The sensitivity, specificity, missed diagnosis rate, misdiagnosis rate, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, Youden index and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 68.56%, 93.83%, 31.44%, 6.17%, 94.53%, 65.74%, 11.12, 0.335, 0.624 and 0.812.Conclusions:From December 2018 to January 2019, the majority of children′s influenza in northern China is influenza A virus.Except Taiyuan which is dominated by influenza B. Influenza virus nucleic acid detection has high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing influenza, and also has the ability to distinguish virus subtypes.Influenza virus antigen detection has a certain diagnostic value, a good specificity (93.83%), sensitivity (68.56%) which needs to be further improved, and a certain rate of missed diagnosis (31.44%) needs to be paid attention to possible missed diagnosis.Detecting positive cases of influenza virus antigens should be given a fast and effective anti-viral treatment, while the negative cases, especially those at high risk for influenza complications, should be confirmed influenza virus RT-PCR as soon as practical.
ABSTRACT
Objective To learn the effects of family supportive supervisors on medical staff turnover intention. Methods The scales of family supportive supervisor behavior scales, work-family conflict scale and turnover intention scale were used in the study. The data were collected from a questionnaire survey of 214 army tertiary hospitals′ medical staff during October to December 2017. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to establish a model to understand the influence of family supportive supervisor behavior, two-way conflict between work and family, using the independent variables, on turnover intention of medical staff. Results The and family supportive supervisor behaviors had a negative explanation to medical staff turnover intention ( β = - 0. 211, P < 0. 01), work interference with family had a positive explanation to it (β = 0. 358, P < 0. 01), family interference with work had an obscure explanation to medical staff turnover intention (β = 0. 104, P > 0. 05). Work interference with family had a partially mediating effect which influenced family supportive supervisor behaviors on medical staff turnover intention. Conclusions Family supportive supervisor behavior, as an organizational support, can effectively alleviate the work interference on family for medical staff and thus minimize their turnover intention.

ABSTRACT
Background: Although there are some Chinese herbal medicines in treatment of constipation, but no multi-center randomized controlled trials have been carried out to prove their effectiveness. Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Yunchang Capsule in treatment of functional constipation with deficiency of both qi and yin and internal accumulation of poisonous pathogenic factors syndrome, and to explore the clinical dosage. Design, setting, participants and interventions: A randomized, double-blinded controlled, multicenter trial was conducted. A total of 240 patients with functional constipation from West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Fujian Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine were randomly divided into three groups: low dose group (80 cases), high dose group (80 cases) and control group (80 cases). Patients in the low dose group were treated with two pills (0.35 g/pill) of Yunchang Capsule and one pill of Yunchang Capsule simulant for three times daily; patients in the high dose group were treated with three pills (0.35 g/pill) of Yunchang Capsule for three times daily; and patients in the control group were treated with three pills (0.35 g/pill) of Biantong Capsule for three times daily. The therapeutic course was 14 days. Main outcome measures: Clinical symptoms, syndromes, and adverse effects were observed before and after the treatment, and blood, urine and stool tests, hepatorenal function and electrocardiogram were also examined. Results: Two cases were excluded, eleven cases were lost to follow-up, and there were 234 patients entered to intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis. After the treatment, the therapeutic effects were calculated by full analysis set (FAS) and per-protocol population set (PPS) analysis respectively. The effects on functional constipation in FAS showed the response rates in the low dose, high dose and control groups were 86.25% (69/80), 82.90% (63/76), and 70.52% (55/78) respectively, and PPS analysis showed the response rates were 85.71% (66/77), 83.56% (61/73), and 70.13% (54/77) respectively. There were no significant differences among the three groups (P>0.05). The effects on traditional Chinese medicine syndrome in FAS showed the response rates in the low dose, high dose and control groups were 78.75% (63/80), 69.74% (53/76), and 67.95% (53/78) respectively, and PPS analysis showed the response rates were 77.92% (60/77), 69.87%(51/73), and 67.53% (52/77) respectively. There were also no significant differences among the three groups (P>0.05). No severe adverse events were observed. Conclusion: Both low dose and high dose of Yunchang Capsule are effective and safe in treatment of functional constipation with deficiency of both qi and yin and internal accumulation of poisonous pathogenic factors syndrome.

ABSTRACT
Guidelines of Prevention and treatment of Children's Influenza A (H1N1) with TCM includes four parts of prevention, diagnosis, clinic treatment and nursing. The drug prophylaxis stresses on administration by identified body without diseases, which includes normal constitution, qi-deficiency constitution, inner-heat constitution and phlegm-damp constitution, children of different constitution are given different appropriate drugs. The treatment bases on syndrome differentiation, such as mild syndrome, severe syndrome, crises and convalescence. The syndrome-classification includes wind-heat invading the exterior, dampness obstructing defensive qi, the heat-toxin blocking the lung, exuberant toxin in both qi and ying, deficiency of heart-yang, the evil sinking into jueyin, residual evil remaining in the body and the deficiency of both qi and yin. The nursing emphasizes the isolation, keeping body warm, bland diet and nursing during convalescence.
