Objective:To explore the medication rules of Ye Tianshi in the treatment of constipation from his clinical records. Methods:The drugs in the prescriptions of intestinal obstruction and stool closure were collected in Guide to Clinical Practice with Medical Records. Then the frequency of the prescriptions and the herbs for the treatment,as well as the herbal natures, flavors and meridian belongings were analyzed by Excel, SPSS 22.0 and SPSS Modeler software. Results:The main syndrome types of Ye's treatment of fecal occlusive disease were internal accumulation of dampness and heat, deficiency of kidney Yang, hyperactivity of fire due to yin deficiency, deficiency of liver and kidney Yin, and dysfunction of lung. The medicinal properties were mainly warm, cold and flat, and the tastes were mainly sweet, pungent and bitter, and the meridians mainly belonged to spleen and stomach, lung, liver, kidney and heart. Armeniacae Semen Amarum, Angelica sinensis, Poria, Semen Platycladi, Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim, Semen Persicae were often used. The commonly used drug pairs, included Armeniacae Amarum Semen and Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim, Armeniacae Amarum Semen and Radix Curcumae Aromaticae, Angelica sinensis and Semen Platycladi and so on. Conclusions:Ye Tianshi takes spleen and stomach as the center, pays attention to the important position of dampness pathogen in the pathogenic process, and pays attention to lung Qi purging, liver Qi drainage and bladder gasification. It provides new treatment ideas and methods, guiding future doctors.

Objective:To compare the clinical effects of hip arthroplasty through direct anterior approach (DAA) in lateral decubitus in the treatment of hip osteoarthritis caused by Kaschin-Beck disease and congenital acetabular dysplasia.Methods:The prospective study method was used to select the patients who needed hip arthroplasty in the Fourth Department of Orthopedics, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2015 to December 2019. All of them were operated with lateral decubitus DAA. According to the inclusion criteria, they were divided into Kacshin-Beck disease hip osteoarthritis group (group A) and congenital acetabular dysplasia hip osteoarthritis group (group B). Hip Harris score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) score were conducted, and hip abduction angle and flexion angle were measured before surgery, 3, 14 days and 1, 3, and 12 months after surgery.Results:Nineteen and twenty-two patients were included in group A and group B, respectively. All patients successfully completed the surgery. There was no significant difference in Harris score between the two groups before surgery, 3, 14 days, and 1, 12 months after surgery ( P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in WOMAC score, VAS score, hip abduction angle and hip flexion angle between the two groups before surgery and each time point after surgery ( P > 0.05). In the same group, there were significant differences in Harris score, WOMAC score, VAS score, hip abduction angle and hip flexion angle at different time points ( P < 0.001). All postoperative indicators were significantly improved compared with those before surgery. Conclusions:There is no significant difference in the clinical effects of hip arthroplasty through lateral decubitus DAA in the treatment of hip osteoarthritis caused by Kaschin-Beck disease and congenital acetabular dysplasia. This surgical method has good therapeutic effect on both types of hip osteoarthritis.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of the therapy of dispelling stasis, removing toxin, and promoting urination (modified Linggui Zhugantang combined with Xuebijing injection) on the prognosis of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM). MethodA total of 96 patients were randomly assigned into an observation group and a control group, with 48 patients in each group. The patients in the control group received sepsis bundle, and those in the observation group additionally received the therapy of dispelling stasis, removing toxin, and promoting urination (intravenous drip of Xuebijing injection and oral administration of modified Linggui Zhugantang). The course of treatment in both groups was 7 days. The disease and prognosis indicators [28-day mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, major adverse cardiac events (MACE), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, and mortality in emergency department sepsis (MEDS) score], cardiac function indicators [left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), E/A ratio of peak velocity blood flow from left ventricular relaxation in early diastole (the E wave) to peak velocity flow in late diastole caused by atrial contraction (the A wave), E/e′ ratio of mitral peak velocity of early filling (E) to early diastolic mitral annular velocity (e′), and afterload-corrected cardiac performance (ACP)], myocardial injury markers [high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP), and high mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1)], hemodynamic indicators [extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI), cardiac index (CI), and systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI)], and TCM syndrome scores were assessed and compared between the two groups. ResultThe 28-day mortality and the incidence of MACE in the observation group were slightly lower than those in the control group. The ICU length of stay in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, APACHE Ⅱ, SOFA, MEDS, syndrome score of stasis-caused internal obstruction, E/e′ ratio, hs-cTnT, NT-proBNP, H-FABP, and HMGB1 decreased compared with those before treatment (P<0.05), while LVEF, E/A ratio, and ACP increased (P<0.05). Moreover, the changes were more significant in the observation group (P<0.05). On days 3, 5, and 7 after treatment, the EVLWI and SVRI in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), while CI showed an opposite trend (P<0.05). The observation group had higher GEDVI than the control group on days 3 and 5 after treatment (P<0.05). ConclusionOn the basis of conventional bundle therapy, modified Linggui Zhugantang combined with Xuebijing injection with the effect of dispelling stasis, removing toxin, and promoting urination can inhibit the generation of myocardial injury markers and improve hemodynamics to shorten the length of ICU stay, mitigate the TCM syndrome, and reduce the risk of death, thereby improving the prognosis of SICM.
