Methods: Male mice were divided into 6 groups according to their body weight: blank control group, native ginseng group, motherwort group, and three experimental groups with a 1:1 ratio of native ginseng and motherwort. 1.5, 4.5, and 7.5 g-kg-1 -d-1 were given to the three experimental groups. The blank control group was instilled with saline, and the earth ginseng group and motherwort group were given 1.5 g-kg -d-1-1 of the corresponding extracts. After 21 d of continuous gavage, the ear swelling test by xylene, the weight swimming test, and the high-pressure hypoxia tolerance test were performed. Also, the experimental indexes were measured, the liver weight was weighed, and the liver weight coefficient was calculated. Results: In the anti-inflammatory experiment, there was a significant difference in the swelling inhibition effect between the two single-flavored groups compared with the control group, the low-dose group compared with the two single-flavored groups, and the medium- and high-dose groups compared with the low-dose group (P < 0.05). In the weight swimming experiment and high-pressure hypoxia tolerance experiment, compared with the control group, the mice in the earth ginseng group and the motherwort group showed a significant improvement in weight swimming time and high-pressure hypoxia tolerance time (P<0.05); compared with the two single herb groups, the mice in the low dose group showed a statistically significant improvement in weight swimming time and high-pressure hypoxia tolerance time (P<0.05); compared with the low dose group, the mice in the high dose group showed a statistically significant improvement in weight swimming time and high-pressure hypoxia tolerance time (P<0.05). Compared with the low-dose group, the high-dose group had a statistically significant (P < 0.05) improvement in weight-bearing swimming time and hyperbaric hypoxia tolerance time. Compared with the control group, the liver weight coefficient of the earth ginseng group was statistically significant (P<0.05); compared with the two single herb groups, the liver weight coefficient of the low-dose group was statistically significant (P<0.05); compared with the low-dose group, the liver weight coefficient of the middle and high-dose groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Native herbal medicine and its combination have significant anti-inflammatory, anti-fatigue, and high-pressure hypoxia tolerance effects, and the anti-inflammatory effect was positively correlated with the increase of the extract concentration; the anti-fatigue and high-pressure hypoxia tolerance effects were the best in the high-dose group.","PeriodicalId":72751,"journal":{"name":"Current research in medical sciences","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84876020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the risk factors of uremic patients complicated with stroke and taking preventive measures as soon as possible is of great significance for controlling the progress of the disease. The risk factors of uremic patients complicated with stroke are complex and diverse. Traditional risk factors include hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, dyslipidemia, etc. Non traditional risk factors such as genetic susceptibility, uremia, anemia, mineral and bone abnormalities can also promote the occurrence of stroke. In addition, dialysis related risk factors such as insufficient cerebral perfusion, increased arterial stiffness, and increased blood pressure variability can also cause stroke. Therefore, it is important to identify the risk factors of stroke in uremic patients as early as possible and take targeted preventive measures.","PeriodicalId":72751,"journal":{"name":"Current research in medical sciences","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87592498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PHC has two components: Community level and Primary health care facility level. Universal Health Cover cannot be achieved without significant investment in the community level component. Hitherto, the community component of PHC remains a neglected area of PHC program. CHIPS, a community-based programme was designed to allow traditional institution to select individuals who will administer basic medical needs and referring people in their communities to designated medical facilities when necessary. Method: This is a cross-sectional descriptive community-based study that was conducted among community health workers in Nkanu West and Awgu Local Government Areas of Enugu State Nigeria using self-administered questionnaire. Convenience sampling technique was used to select community health workers in the two local government areas. Results: 77.4% of the study population were not aware of the program. 26.9% are of the opinion that the families in the communities will welcome the idea of home visits. 23.3% perceived the implementation process to be slow, there was poor community awareness (22.0%), poor community participation (19.3%) and no community mobilization (19.3%) yet. Conclusion: From our study, the response rate on how best to organize CHIPS and the challenges it may face, is low. The striking thing is that the challenges of the past community health workers are still that of the present. So it is of utmost importance to constructively look at the content of the planning, implementation and its evaluation, and then draw strength from the weaknesses of the already existing community health programs.","PeriodicalId":72751,"journal":{"name":"Current research in medical sciences","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74086332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, to date, there has been a scarcity of systematic literature reviews and quantitative analyses in this field. This project aims to employ a bibliometric approach to systematically analyze and summarize the research on tea and bone health from 1989 to 2023. By visualizing the research hotspots and trends, we seek to gain a comprehensive understanding of the current status of research in this area. Methods: Relevant research articles were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). The collected articles were then subjected to statistical and visualization analyses using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. Key aspects analyzed included the annual publication output, active countries, prolific institutions, authors, core journals, references, and keywords. Results: In total, 932 articles were selected from the WOSCC database, showing an increasing trend in annual publication output. The highest number of publications originated from China (240 articles, accounting for 25.75%), followed by the USA (196 articles, accounting for 21.03%) and Japan (105 articles, accounting for 11.27%). Among institutions, Texas Tech University emerged as the most prolific in terms of productivity, while author Shen, Chwan-Li contributed the highest number of publications (27 articles). The research hotspots in the field of tea and bone studies were identified as osteogenic differentiation, inflammation, and mesenchymal stem cells. Conclusions: The field of tea and bone research is experiencing a vibrant expansion, with ongoing investigations focusing on the intricate connections between tea and inflammation, as well as the mechanisms underlying tea’s impact on bone cell differentiation. However, further exploration is warranted to elucidate and delve deeper into these mechanisms in order to enhance our comprehension in this area.","PeriodicalId":72751,"journal":{"name":"Current research in medical sciences","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79414002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
