ObjectiveTo analyze and sum up the medication rule and the core prescription of Professor LIU Minru in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome （intracellular lipid membrane congestion syndrome）and explore the effect mechanism underlying the medication. MethodTwo platforms were used to carry out data mining to analyze the characteristics and rules of Professor LIU's prescriptions for the treatment of this disease. Network pharmacology was used to further clarify active ingredients in the core prescription，and a traditional Chinese medicine-active ingredient-target network was constructed，with the potential mechanism of action analyzed. ResultA total of 321 prescriptions were included in the medical records，involving 178 Chinese medicinals and 28 kinds of formula granules.The Chinese medicinals mainly act on the liver and kidney meridians， whose main tastes were sweetness，pungency，and bitterness and properties were mainly warm，mild，and slightly cold.Commonly used medicine pairs include Dioscoreae Rhizoma-Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata，Chuanxiong Rhizoma-Angelicae Sinensis Radix，Bupleuri Radix-Aurantii Fructus，and Gleditsiae Spina-Curcumae Rhizoma.The commonly used formulas are Xuefu Zhuyutang，Siwugang，Yangjing Zhongyutang，etc. The core prescription is composed of 12 Chinese medicinals such as angelica，white peony，saponaria thorn，and epimedium，containing 74 active ingredients，including quercetin，luteolin，kaempferol，fisetin，and β-sitosterol.A total of 37 key targets were found，involving phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt），mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK），Janus protein tyrosine kinase （JAK）/signal transduction and activator of transcription （STAT），and other signaling pathways. ConclusionThe pathogenesis of this disease is complex.Professor LIU adheres to the pathogenesis of "kidney deficiency as the root cause，and phlegm retention as the symptom". Under the guidance of the academic ideology of "kidney Qi as the root，and protecting Yin as the foundation" and "nurturing Yin to support Yang"，she takes into account Yin and Yang in kidney tonic，replenishes and consolidates the essence and blood，and relieves manifestations by dissipating mass， activating blood， and regulating Qi. She has a rigorous thinking in formulating prescriptions. The core prescription has the characteristics of comprehensive regulation by multiple components at multiple targets in multiple pathways.

Gei Herba is a traditional folk herbal medicine with a variety of functions such as replenishing Qi and invigorating spleen， tonifying blood and nourishing Yin， moistening lung and resolving phlegm， activating blood and alleviating edema， moving Qi， and activating blood. The reports about the pharmacological effects of this herbal medicine have been increasing in recent years. By reviewing the ancient and modern literature about Gei Herba， we systematically organized the name， original plants， nature， taste， and functions of this herbal medicine， and summarized the modern pharmacological studies and clinical applications of Gei Herba in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Gei Herba was first recorded in the name of "Dijiao" in the Geng Xin Yu Ce（《庚辛玉册》） written in the Ming Dynasty. It is derived from Geum japonicum var. chinense （Rosaceae） and sometimes confused with Adina rubella （Rubiaceae）. This medicine had numerous synonyms in the local materia medica books. Gei Herba is widely distributed and harvested in summer and autumn， with the dried whole grass used as medicine. The historical records of the nature， taste， meridian tropism， main functions， and indications of Gei Herba are not consistent. It is generally believed that Gei Herba is pungent， bitter， sweet， cool， and has tropism to the liver， spleen， and lung meridians. Based on the effects of tonifying Qi， activating blood， and nourishing Yin， modern pharmacological studies have reported that the extracts of Gei Herba and the tannin phenolic acid compounds and triterpenoids isolated from Gei Herba have therapeutic effects on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension， myocardial ischemia， cerebral ischemia， and vascular dementia. This study provides a reference for discovering the clinical advantages of Gei Herba and developing new drugs.
