A qualitative study on the prognosis and traditional Chinese medicine treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease
[Journal Article]Fang Xiaoyue, Li Xue, Li Jing-China Medicine2025, No.07

Abstract:Objective To explore the cognition of chronic kidney disease patients on disease prognosis and traditional Chinese medicine treatment from the perspective of"knowledge,belief and action".Methods A total of 21 patients with chronic kidney disease who visited the Department of Nephrology Endocrinology,Dongzhimen Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from January to February 2025 were interviewed by semi-structured in-depth interviews.The Colaizzi seven-step method was used to analyze and refine the data,and Maxqda 2022 software was used to assist data sorting and data coding.Results In this study,the data was saturated when the 21st patient was interviewed,including 8 males and 13 females,aged 29 to 76 years,and the course of disease was 3 to 420 months.The patients had insufficient cognition of the development and prognosis of the disease,and the recognition of traditional Chinese medicine treatment was high,and the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine treatment were prominent.They had high expectations and confidence in disease treatment,and traditional Chinese medicine treatment was widely accepted and trusted.Patients' self-management is biased,and their diet and daily life need to be standardized.Conclusion There is a contradiction among the ambiguity of patients' cognition of the disease and prognosis,their high confidence and high expectations in treatment,and the deviation of self-management behaviors.It is necessary to strengthen health education to improve the conflict between insufficient cognition and high expectations.Promoting the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine,giving full play to its characteristic advantages,constructing a collaborative intervention model of"cognition-belief-behavior",and forming a virtuous cycle of"knowledge,belief and action"can provide the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine for the management of chronic diseases.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the prognostic value of the product of reverse shock index and Glasgow coma scale(rSIG)index combined with serum D-dimer,fibrinogen and C-reactive protein in multiple trauma patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS).Methods A total of 194 patients with multiple trauma treated in the Emergency Treatment Room,North China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were selected as the research objects.According to the presence or absence of MODS during treatment,they were divided into non-MODS group(98 cases)and MODS group(96 cases).The MODS group was further divided into survival group(52 cases)and death group(44 cases)according to the survival situation of patients at 28 d after injury.The levels of serum D-dimer,fibrinogen,C-reactive protein and rSIG index were compared among the groups.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of the prognosis of multiple trauma patients with MODS.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the value of rSIG index combined with serum D-dimer,fibrinogen and C-reactive protein in predicting the prognosis of multiple trauma patients with MODS.Results The levels of serum D-dimer,fibrinogen and C-reactive protein in MODS group were higher than those in non-MODS group[(14±3)mg/L vs(9±3)mg/L,(4.5±1.0)g/L vs(3.0±1.0)g/L,(32±6)mg/L vs(21±6)mg/L](t=10.352,10.079,12.883;all P<0.001).The levels of serum D-dimer,fibrinogen,and C-reactive protein in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group,and the rSIG index was significantly lower than that in the survival group(all P<0.001).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that D-dimer,fibrinogen,C-reactive protein and rSIG index were independent prognostic factors for multiple trauma patients with MODS(all P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of D-dimer,fibrinogen,C-reactive protein,and rSIG index combined detection to predict the prognosis of multiple trauma patients with MODS was 0.964,the sensitivity was 84.09%,and the specificity was 96.15%,which was better than that of each index alone(all P<0.05).Conclusion The serum D-dimer,fibrinogen,and C-reactive protein of patients in the death group of multiple trauma combined with MODS increased significantly,and the rSIG index decreased significantly.The combination of the above indicators has a good predictive value for the prognosis of patients with multiple trauma combined with MODS.

[Journal Article]Xiang Xuan, Meng Wen, Chen Junjin et al.-China Medicine2025, No.03

Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of Xiongdan Jiuxin pills combined with sacubitril/valsartan in the treatment of chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.Methods A total of 120 patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction admitted to Lianyungang Municipal Oriental Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University from October 2020 to October 2023 were selected.According to the random number table method,they were divided into the control group and the observation group,with 60 cases in each group.All patients were given conventional treatment,the control group was given sacubitril/valsartan,and the observation group was given Xiongdan Jiuxin pills on the basis of the control group.The 6 min walk test distance,maximum exercise time,cardiac function indexes,serum indexes,and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the 6 min walk test distance and maximum exercise time of the two groups were longer than those before treatment,and those of the observation group were longer than those of the control group(all P<0.001).After treatment,left ventricular ejection fraction,stroke volume,cardiac output,nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase in the two groups were higher than those before treatment,and those in the observation group were higher than those in the control group;the levels of left ventricular end-diastolic diameter,endothelin-1,laminin,hyaluronic acid and N-terminal procollagen type Ⅲ in the two groups were lower than those before treat-ment,and those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(all P<0.05).During the treatment,there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the observation group and the control group[10.0%(6/60)vs 6.7%(4/60)](x2=0.436,P=0.509).Conclusion Xiongdan Jiuxin pills combined with sacubitril/valsartan has a significant effect on chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction,which can improve the exercise tolerance,cardiac function and vascular endothelial function of patients,slow down myocardial fibrosis,and has good safety.

Overview of the application of echocardiography in the preoperative evaluation of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with severe aortic stenosis of the small annulus
[Journal Article]Gou Yuting, Zhang Chun-China Medicine2025, No.03

Abstract:Currently,transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)has emerged AS a high-yield treatment option for symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis(AS)and moderate-to-high surgical risk.In patients with severe AS and concomitant small aortic annulus(SAA),its unique aortic root anatomical characteristics increase the challenge of surgery,and the choice of treatment strategy has become a hot topic in recent years.Previous studies have shown that such patients show better hemodynamic characteristics and prognosis after TAVR.This article mainly reviews the prevalence and population characteristics of SAA in patients with severe AS,and the application of echocardiography in the evaluation of aortic root condition before TAVR in SAA patients.
