Exploring Associations Between Short-Term Air Pollution and Daily Outpatient Visits for Allergic Rhinitis.

Purpose: Many studies have reported that exposure to air pollution increases the likelihood of acquiring allergic rhinitis (AR). This study investigated associations between short-term air pollution exposure and AR outpatient visits.

Patients And Methods: The Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University provided AR outpatient data from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021.

Explore the Relationship Between Short-Term Ambient Air Pollution Exposure and Daily Outpatient Visits for Metabolic Related Fatty Liver.

Background: Many studies have shown that the pollution of fine particles in the air is related to the incidence of chronic diseases. However, research on air pollution and metabolism-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is limited.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between short-term ambient air pollution and daily outpatient visits for metabolic-related fatty liver.

Modified Sijunzi decoction can alleviate cisplatin-induced toxicity and prolong the survival time of cachectic mice by recovering muscle atrophy.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Sijunzi decoction is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) commonly used for invigorating vital energy and for the enhancement of immunity. Modified Sijunzi decoctions have been extensively used to treat cachexia and improve the quality of life of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Aim Of The Study: This study was aimed to provide comprehensive evidence for the anti-cachectic effect of a modified Sijunzi decoction (Zhen-Qi; ZQ-SJZ) and characterize its anti-cachectic mechanism, especially in cisplatin-induced muscle atrophy.
