The theoretical innovation and new drug research on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases by activating blood circulation has been one of the most active and outstanding achievements in the field of integrated Chinese and western medicine for the past 60 years. Research on blood stasis syndrome (BSS) and activating blood circulation (ABC) was the first to be awarded the first prize of National Award for Science and Technology Progress in Chinese Medicine since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The research team headed by prof. Keji CHEN has obtained abundant research achievements. Taking coronary heart disease, a major clinical cardiovascular disease as the entry point, the team explored the development of the diagnostic criteria for the combination of BSS, the interpretation of the modern connotation of ABC, the development of a series of new drugs for ABC, clinical efficacy evaluation and mechanism of its action. It promotes the standardization and internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine and forms high-quality evidence for clinical transformation. It has also made outstanding contributions to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases with original features. In this paper, the history of prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases by ABC after the founding of the People's Republic of China was reviewed. The representative research findings of several domestic academic teams, including prof. Keji CHEN's team, over the past 60 years were expounded emphatically so as to provide reference for promoting and innovating research in activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
ObjectiveTo determine the effectiveness of Yidantong recipe retained enema combined with external application of Jinhuang powder on non-severe acute pancreatitis (NSAP). MethodsA total of 134 patients with NSAP, admitted to the Third People’s Hospital of Chengdu from September 2019 to August 2022 were included in this retrospective cohort study. All patients received routine Western medicine treatment, and they were divided into a observation group (n=66) and a control group (n=68) based on whether they underwent treatment of Yidantong recipe retained enema combined with external application of Jinhuang powder. The variables including incidence of adverse clinical outcome events, severity scores after treatment, the recovery time of flatus and bowel movement, duration of fasting food and water, scores of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes and numerical value of blood indices before and after treatment, and the treatment effect of the two groups were statistically analyzed. ResultsCompared with that of the control group, the incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) of the observation group was lower (P<0.05), and the reduction before and after treatment of APACHEⅡ score, BISAP score and Ranson score in the observation group was more than those in the control group (P<0.05). Compared with that of the control group, the recovery time of flatus and bowel movement and duration of fasting food and water of the observation group was shorter (P<0.05). The reduction before and after treatment of the scores of TCM syndromes (abdominal pain, abdominal distention, nausea and vomiting, dry mouth and bitter taste) and numerical value of blood amylase (AMY), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alanine aminotransferase (AST) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the observation group were more than those in the control group (P<0.05). Compared with that of the control group (83.33%), the total effective rate of the scores of TCM syndromes (95.59%) of the observation group was higher (P<0.05).ConclusionYidantong recipe retained enema combined with external application of Jinhuang powder in the treatment of NSAP is effective by combining with routine Western medicine.
Objective To construct a nursing sensitive index system for limb blood circulation monitoring, to guide clinical nursing practice, and provide a scientific basis for the evaluation and management of limb blood circulation monitoring nursing quality. Methods The Chinese and English databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched from the establishment of the database to April 1st, 2024. Using the structure-process-outcome three-dimensional quality system model as the theoretical basis, and through semi-structured interviews, an expert letter consultation questionnaire containing 3 first-level indicators, 9 second-level indicators and 30 third-level indicators was developed. The final nursing sensitive index system of limb blood circulation monitoring were determined through two rounds of expert consultation. Results A total of 25 experts participated in the questionnaire survey. The positive coefficients of the two rounds of expert consultation were 96% (24/25) and 100% (24/24), respectively, the expert authority coefficient was 0.906. The final nursing sensitive index system included 3 first-level indicators, 6 second-level indicators and 21 third-level indicators. All the indicators were closely related to limb blood circulation monitoring, and the quality of specialized nursing work of limb blood circulation monitoring was comprehensively improved from the three dimensions of structural indicators, process indicators, and outcome indicators. Conclusion The nursing sensitive index system of limb blood circulation monitoring has strong specialty, it not only clarifies the specific content of limb blood circulation monitoring and nursing work, but also systematically constructs the requirements and standards of the quality management level of blood circulation monitoring, which is scientific and practical.
