    Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common chronic digestive disorder characterized by symptoms such as reflux, heartburn, bloating, belching, and chest pain, which can lead to severe complications like esophageal adenocarcinoma. With the ongoing social and economic development and lifestyle changes, the prevalence of GERD continues to rise, particularly in Asian countries. Although proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are considered as the first-line treatment, monotherapy presents limitations, such as incomplete symptom relief and long-term safety concerns. Therefore, recent treatment strategies have gradually shifted towards diversification and personalization. The study summarizes the latest advances in GERD treatment, including the use of acid-suppressing agents, prokinetics, mucosal protectants, reflux inhibitors, and neuromodulators, as well as non-pharmacological interventions such as endoscopic and surgical therapies. Additionally, the treatment characteristics for special populations, including children, the elderly, and pregnant women, are discussed. By optimizing combination therapy and individualized approaches, the clinical outcomes for GERD patients and their quality of life are expected to improve further.

    Objective: To explore the impact of adenoidectomy on nasal inflammation control and Th1/Th2 cell balance in children with adenoid hypertrophy and allergic rhinitis (AR). Method: 100 children with adenoid hypertrophy combined with allergic rhinitis who were treated at Puning People's Hospital from June 2022 to June 2024 were selected and randomly divided into a control group (treated with drugs, n=50) and an observation group (treated with drugs plus adenoidectomy, n=50) according to the random number table method. The control of rhinitis in the two groups, the levels of inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), leukocyte mediators (IL)-4, IL-6, interferon-γ(INF-γ)] before and after treatment, and the occurrence of adverse reactions were compared. Result: The total effective rate of treatment in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment in both groups, the levels of TNF-α, IL-4 and IL-6 decreased, and those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group. The level of INF-γ increased in both groups, and that in the observation group was higher than that in the control group. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The occurrence of adverse reactions in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: Adenoidectomy can effectively increase the total effective rate of treatment for children with adenoid hypertrophy accompanied by AR, reduce the levels of inflammatory factors, and subsequently regulate the Th1/Th2 cell balance, with high safety.

    Objective: To assess the therapeutic response of tongue acupuncture in patients with post-stroke dysphagia (PSD). Method: Medical records of PSD patients consecutively admitted to Yangjiang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between October 2021 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Eighty patients meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled. Participants were stratified into a control group (n=40) and a tongue acupuncture group (n=40) based on the specific therapeutic regimen received. The control group was given rehabilitation therapy, while the treatment group was combined with tongue acupuncture. The differences in Water Swallowing Test (WST) grades and Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA) scores were compared. The therapeutic outcomes and adverse events were documented following the intervention period. Result: Baseline equivalence in WST grades and SSA scores was observed, demonstrated no significant intergroup differences (P>0.05). Post-therapy, the tongue acupuncture cohort demonstrated greater WST improvement, lower SSA scores, and higher clinical efficacy rates versus controls, differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). No adverse events occurred in either group. Conclusion: Tongue acupuncture combined with rehabilitation achieves superior dysphagia mitigation in PSD compared to rehabilitation alone, with sustained short-term effects observed at 3-month follow-up and an optimal safety trajectory.

    Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of Montelukast sodium combined with Yupingfeng granules in the treatment of allergic rhinitis in children. Method: A cohort of 100 pediatric patients diagnosed with allergic rhinitis was enrolled from Yangjiang Maternal and Child Health Hospital from April 2023 to April 2024. Participants were randomly allocated via a random number table into two groups (n=50 each): control group receiving 0.9% saline nasal irrigation combined with montelukast sodium monotherapy, and research group receiving 0.9% saline nasal irrigation plus a combined regimen of montelukast sodium and Yupingfeng granules. Treatment efficacy and safety were evaluated by comparative analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome scores, inflammatory cytokine levels, and immunoglobulin profiles before and after the intervention period. Result: Baseline assessments indicated comparable TCM syndrome scores and serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-17 (IL-17), interleukin-23 (IL-23), immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin G (IgG), and immunoglobulin E (IgE) between groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the syndrome score of the study group was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the concentration of pro-inflammatory factors was also lower than that of the control group. The immune function of the study group was significantly improved, manifested as an increase in IgA and IgG levels compared with the control group, while IgE decreased. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The total clinical effective rate of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Moreover, no drug-related serious adverse events occurred in either group. Conclusion: The adjunctive use of Yupingfeng granules with montelukast sodium significantly enhances therapeutic outcomes in pediatric allergic rhinitis. This synergistic approach effectively alleviates nasal symptoms (rhinorrhea, congestion) through concurrent suppression of inflammatory mediators and bidirectional immunomodulation, without increasing drug-related risks.

    Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a toxic infiltrative cardiomyopathy caused by the deposition of amyloid fibers formed by the misfolding of amyloid proteins in the extracellular matrix of cardiomyocytes. CA can lead to thickening of the biventricular wall, concentric ventricular remodeling, low cardiac output, and various arrhythmias, ultimately develop into refractory heart failure. In recent years, with the gradual understanding of the pathophysiological process of amyloid fiber formation, the pathogenesis of CA, and the continuous development of imaging examination technology, we have gained updated understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of CA. This present paper summarizes the research progress of CA.

Method: The clinical data of 80 patients with acute intestinal obstruction admitted to Anhai Hospital of Jinjiang from January 2021 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received conservative treatment after onset, and laparoscopic surgery was performed after 24 h without remission. The treatment and the changes of inflammatory factors and oxidative stress factors before and after operation were analyzed. Then, all patients were followed up for 1 year and divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group according to the prognosis. Compared with their general clinical conditions, logistic regression model was established to analyze the influencing factors of poor prognosis. Result: Two out of 80 patients underwent conversion to open abdominal treatment. The surgical time was (87.34±5.25) minutes, the intraoperative blood loss was (50.25±6.34) mL, the postoperative exhaust time was (31.24±2.77) h, the gastric tube removal time was (3.42±0.42) d, and the hospital stay was (9.34±1.23) d. The total effective rate of 78 patients treated was 91.03% (71/78), of which 34 were significantly improved, 37 were effective, and 7 were ineffective. The incidence of complications was 14.10% (11/78), including 2 cases of intestinal fistula, 7 cases of residual abdominal abscess, and 2 cases of incision infection. The levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in all patients at 7 d after surgery were higher than before and 1 d after surgery, interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were lower than those before and 1 d after surgery, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in gender, body mass index (BMI), combined underlying diseases, history of abdominal surgery, preoperative anemia, preoperative fever, preoperative blood in the stool, and preoperative SOD and MAD levels between the good prognosis group and the poor prognosis group (P>0.05). The age, the proportion of progressive abdominal pain before surgery, the levels of IL-10, IL-6 and CRP before surgery of the poor prognosis group were higher than those of the good prognosis group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Age, progressive exacerbation of abdominal pain, IL-10, IL-6 and CRP levels were the independent factors influencing the prognosis of acute intestinal obstruction (P<0.05). Conclusion: The total effective rate of laparoscopic surgery for acute intestinal obstruction patients after 24 h of conservative treatment is relatively high. The prognosis can be influenced by the patient's age, progressive worsening of preoperative abdominal pain, and preoperative levels of IL-10, IL-6, and CRP. Therefore, clinical practice should closely monitor the above indicators of patients in the early stage, clarify the indications for this treatment method, and further improve the patient's poor prognosis.

    Postoperative insomnia is a common postoperative complication of surgery. At present, there is no clear definition of postoperative insomnia in clinic. Combining theories related to insomnia and postoperative sleep disorders, postoperative insomnia is caused by surgical trauma, anesthetics, pain and other factors such as sleep disorders and daytime cognitive dysfunction. Modern medicine mainly adopts drug therapy as an intervention method for postoperative insomnia. At the same time, the field of traditional Chinese medicine in the exploration of non-drug treatment methods have also achieved significant results. The aim of this paper is to summarize the prevention and treatment of postoperative insomnia with traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine.

    Objective: To analyze the role and value of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound (transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound) in the clinical differential diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy rupture and ovarian corpus luteum rupture. Method: Patients with ruptured ectopic pregnancy and ruptured corpus luteum of the ovary admitted to Taishan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from May 2022 to May 2024 were selected as the research subjects, with 62 cases and 53 cases respectively. All patients underwent vaginal color Doppler ultrasound examination. The color Doppler ultrasound indicators, blood flow characteristics, diagnostic efficacy and consistency of pathological diagnosis of patients with different diseases were compared and calculated. Result: The ovarian volume, depth of the fluid dark area and diameter of the abnormal echo area in ruptured corpus luteum of the ovary were higher than those in ruptured ectopic pregnancy, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The comparison of blood flow signal patterns in patients with the two diseases showed statistically significant difference (P<0.05). In the images of ruptured ectopic pregnancy, point-like and strip-like blood flow signals were mainly found, while in the images of ruptured corpus luteum of the ovary, there were more circular blood flow signals. Among the efficacy indicators of vaginal color Doppler ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of the two lesions, the accuracy was 95.65%, the sensitivity was 94.34%, the specificity was 96.77%, the positive predictive value was 96.15%, and the negative predictive value was 95.24%, and it had extremely high consistency with the pathological diagnosis (Kappa=0.912, P<0.05). Conclusion: The application of vaginal ultrasound in clinical examination and differential diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy rupture and ovarian corpus luteum rupture is accurate and effective.

    Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) refers to the abscess formed by the local inflammation, liquefaction and pus accumulation of liver tissue caused by pyogenic bacteria invading the liver through various ways such as hepatic artery, portal vein and biliary tract. In recent years, changes in its pathogenesis, etiology and clinical manifestations have posed new challenges for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. With the advancements in imaging techniques and laboratory medicine, the detection rate and diagnostic accuracy of early-stage PLA have significantly improved. Concurrently, the development of interventional therapy and the extensive use of antibiotics have introduced new transformations in the clinical management of PLA. Although most cases can be cured through interventional therapy combined with antibiotics, surgical intervention remains necessary for certain patients. Therefore, several unresolved issues persist in the diagnosis and treatment of PLA, warranting further in-depth research.

    Objective: To explore the therapeutic effect of Methylprednone Sodium Succinate on hyperthermia in children with adenovirus pneumonia and its effects on inflammatory indexes and lymphocyte subsets. Method: A total of 80 children with adenovirus pneumonia and hyperthermia diagnosed and treated in Xuzhou Mining Group General Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected. They were divided into two groups by random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received conventional symptomatic treatment, and the observation group was treated with Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate. The course of treatment was 7 d. The levels of inflammatory indicators [WBC, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP)] and lymphocyte subsets (CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+) before and after treatment were compared between the two groups, and the treatment efficiency and the incidence of adverse reactions were analyzed. Result: After treatment, the levels of CRP, PCT and WBC in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the time of fever reduction, cough relief and lung moist rales disappearance in the observation group were shorter, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). No adverse reactions occurred in both groups during treatment. Conclusion: Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate is effective in the treatment of hyperthermia in children with adenovirus pneumonia, which is helpful to reduce inflammatory response, enhance the immune capacity of the body, promote the improvement of symptoms, and has a high safety.

    Objective: To evaluate and analyze the differences in efficacy between the treatment regimen of cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium injection combined with moxifloxacin hydrochloride and sodium chloride injection for the treatment of severe pneumonia and the single drug treatment of cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium injection. Method: 80 patients with severe pneumonia admitted to the Left Wing Houqi People's Hospital of Horqin from September 2022 to August 2023 were selected as the study objects, and were divided into control group and observation group by random number table method. Both groups were given cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium for injection, and the observation group was given moxifloxacin hydrochloride and sodium chloride injection. Both groups were given continuous administration for 14 days. The results of the subjective evaluation of the efficacy, the time for cough and other symptoms to disappear, the changes in the levels of three inflammatory factors before and after treatment, and the occurrence of adverse reactions during treatment were compared between the two groups. Result: The total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The time of cough disappearance, temperature return to normal and discomfort disappearance in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Before treatment, the levels of C-reactive protein, procalcitonin and white blood cell count were higher in 2 groups, and there was no statistical significance (P>0.05). After treatment, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin and white blood cell count levels in both groups were decreased, and the observation group was lower than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the observation group and the control group (P>0.05). Conclusion: In the treatment of severe pneumonia, the combination of cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium for injection and moxifloxacin hydrochloride and sodium chloride injection can achieve better clinical efficacy than the single drug regimen of cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium for injection.

    Objective: To investigate the effect of the combination of ulinastatin and somatostatin in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). Method: A total of 100 AP patients admitted to Bijie Hospital of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected as the study objects and divided into control group and observation group by random number table method, with 50 cases in each group. The control group was treated with somatostatin for injection, and the observation group was treated with ulinastatin for injection on the basis of the control group. The clinical efficacy, intestinal barrier function indexes, inflammatory factors and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Result: The total effective rate of observation group was higher than that of control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of D-lactic acid (D-Lac), endotoxin (ET), diamine oxidase (DAO), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in observation group were lower than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Ulinastatin combined with somatostatin can enhance the therapeutic effect, improve the intestinal mucosal barrier function and reduce the inflammatory response in AP patients, and the drug has high safety.

    Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of azithromycin in conjunction with Montelukast sodium for treating mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children. Method: A total of 100 pediatric patients diagnosed with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, who were treated in the hospital from May 2022 to March 2024 were chosen as study subjects. These patients were randomly divided into two groups, with 50 patients in each group. The control group received azithromycin alone, whereas the study group was given a combination of azithromycin and Montelukast sodium. The outcomes measured included treatment efficacy, lung function parameters [such as peak time ratio (t-PTEF/t-E), tidal volume (V-T), mid-inspiratory flow rate to mid-expiratory flow rate ratio (MTIF/MTEF), forced vital capacity (FVC), maximum peak expiratory flow rate (PEF), and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)], inflammatory markers [C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)], duration of symptom resolution (cough, wheezing, rales, and fever), and the occurrence of adverse effects (dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea) of two groups were compared. Result: The overall effectiveness in the study group was notably superior to that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, both groups showed improvements in lung function, but the study group exhibited better results (P<0.05). Both groups experienced a reduction in inflammatory marker levels compared to pre-treatment, but the study group had a more pronounced decrease (P<0.05). The study group also had a shorter symptom resolution time than the control group (P<0.05). Additionally, the incidence of adverse reactions was lower in the study group, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: The combination of azithromycin and Montelukast sodium is effective in treating mycoplasma pneumonia in children, contributing to improving lung function, reducing inflammation, and accelarting clinical symptom improvement, with high therapeutic safety.
