AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effects of Changtong Paste on gastrointestinal function in 216 patients post-colorectal cancer surgery, comparing it with traditional therapy.
- After treatment, the group receiving Changtong Paste showed more significant improvements in various health indicators, including immune function and quality of life, compared to the control group.
- Overall, Changtong Paste therapy led to better recovery outcomes, including faster gastrointestinal function recovery and shorter hospital stays.
Article Abstract
Objective: To study the effects of Changtong Paste on gastrointestinal function after colorectal cancer surgery.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 216 patients who underwent colorectal cancer surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from June 2021 to June 2023. Patients were divided into two groups according to their treatment plan: the control group (n=109), who received abdominal multi-source therapy irradiation, and the study group (n=107), who received Changtong Paste in conjunction with the same abdominal irradiation therapy. The two groups were compared in terms of hemorheology, gastrointestinal hormones, immune function, cancer-related fatigue, quality of life, gastrointestinal function, duration of hospital stay, and clinical efficacy.
Results: After treatment, both groups demonstrated significant reductions in plasma viscosity, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, high-shear and low-shear whole blood viscosity, somatostatin (SS), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), and scores on the Piper Fatigue Scale-Revised (PFS-R) compared to before treatment, with the study group showing lower levels. Conversely, levels of motilin (MTL), immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgA, IgM, and Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) scores significantly increased after treatment, with the study group showing higher values (P < 0.05). Additionally, indicators for gastrointestinal function recovery and length of hospital stay were shorter in the study group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The total clinical effective rate in the study group (94.39%) was higher than that of the control group (84.40%) (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Changtong Paste therapy can effectively regulate hemorheology, improve gastrointestinal hormone levels, promote gastrointestinal and immune function recovery, alleviate cancer-related fatigue, enhance quality of life, and shorten hospital stays after colorectal cancer surgery.

Safety and efficacy of personalised versus standard dosing of linezolid in patients with sepsis (SePkLin): a pragmatic, multicentre, randomised, controlled and superiority clinical trial protocol.

Introduction: Linezolid is a broadly used antibiotic to treat complicated infections caused by gram-positive bacteria. Therapeutic drug monitoring of linezolid concentrations is recommended to maximise its efficacy and safety, mainly haematological toxicity. Different pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic targets have been proposed to improve linezolid exposure: the ratio of the area under the concentration-time curve during a 24-hour period to minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) between 80 and 120; percentage of time that the drug concentration remains above the MIC during a dosing interval greater than 85% and the trough concentration between 2 and 7 mg/L.

Diaphragm samples of the right side from 42 COVID-19 critically ill patients were analyzed and correlated with the type and length of mechanical ventilation (MV), ventilatory parameters, prone positioning, and use of sedative drugs. The mean number of fibers was 550±626.

Association between pupillary examinations and prognosis in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a retrospective multicentre cohort study.

Background: In some cases of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), negative pupillary light reflex (PLR) and mydriasis upon hospital arrival serve as common early indicator of poor prognosis. However, in certain patients with poor prognoses inferred by pupil findings upon hospital arrival, pupillary findings improve before and after the establishment of ECPR. The association between these changes in pupillary findings and prognosis remains unclear.

Introduction: There is conflicting evidence whether lower extremity arterial calcification coincides with coronary arterial calcification (CAC). The aims of this study were to investigate the associations between (1) femoral and crural calcification with CAC, and (2) femoral and crural calcification pattern with CAC.
Research Design And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 405 individuals (74% men, 62.
