There were 41 postoperative patients of cholelithiasis with manifestation of Qi-Yin deficiency, had treated with Yiqi Yangyin Prescription. The regimens was 2 weeks as a course, thereafter bile specimens were taken through T tube drainage, and biochemical analysis were performed in order to determine the composition in consequence of the comparison of the treated patients with the control groups. There were 19 patients of bile pigment stone in whom 10 treated with the prescription and 9 were served as control. The results showed that the total bilirubin, unconjugated bilirubin, the concentration of calcium ion and the activity of beta-glucuronidase were markedly decreased as compared to those in the control group (P less than 0.05), the concentration of bile acid markedly increased than that in the control group (P less than 0.05). There were 22 patients of cholesterol stone, 11 treated with the prescription and 11 were served as control group. The results were the same as in bile pigment stone group except decreased in conjugated bilirubin (P less than 0.05), and the unconjugated bilirubin were remained unchanged (P greater than 0.05) as compared to the control group. The ratio of unconjugated bilirubin to total bilirubin and the ratio of bile acid to bilirubin were markedly decreased as compared to those in the control group. The above observation showed promptly that Yiqi-Yangyin Prescription gave a promise influence on lithogenic bile of cholelithiasitic patients, and also investigated the mechanism of the prescription used for deficiency patients with biliary troubles.

Background: Wearable sensor technologies, often referred to as "wearables," have seen a rapid rise in consumer interest in recent years. Initially often seen as "activity trackers," wearables have gradually expanded to also estimate sleep, stress, and physiological recovery. In occupational settings, there is a growing interest in applying this technology to promote health and well-being, especially in professions with highly demanding working conditions such as first responders.

Objectives: This study compared cognitive flexibility (CF) and emotion recognition (ER) in adolescents with eating disorders (ED) to a healthy group.
Methods: Forty healthy individuals aged 12-18 years with no psychiatric diagnosis and 46 patients diagnosed with anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), or binge eating disorder (BED) according to DSM-5 criteria participated. CF was assessed using the Cognitive Flexibility Scale (CFS), Stroop Test, and Berg Card Sorting Test (BCST), while ER was evaluated using the test of perception of affect via nonverbal cues.

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death globally, and many humanitarian crises occur in countries with high NCD burdens. Peer support is a promising approach to improve NCD care in these settings. However, evidence on peer support for people living with NCDs in humanitarian settings is limited.

Background: Comprehensive clinical data regarding factors influencing the individual disease course of patients with movement disorders treated with deep brain stimulation might help to better understand disease progression and to develop individualized treatment approaches.
Methods: The clinical core data set was developed by a multidisciplinary working group within the German transregional collaborative research network ReTune. The development followed standardized methodology comprising review of available evidence, a consensus process and performance of the first phase of the study.

Background: According to WHO, "noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) kill 41 million people" annually, as the primary cause of death globally. WHO's Global Action Plan for the prevention and control of NCDs 2013-2020 (extended) tackles this issue and its implications regarding inequalities between countries and populations. Based on combined behavioural, environmental and policy approaches, health promotion aims to reduce health inequities and address health determinants through 3 strategies: education, prevention and protection.
