The traditional conotation of combination of disease and syndrome means the combination of disease differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diseases and TCM syndrome differentiation,which was derived from the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic.And the Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases describes the clinical application of this theory.Under the background of integrative medicine,the modern conotation of combination of disease and syndrome means TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment based on modern medicine disease differentiation,which is commonly used in the current clinical practice.The disease and syndrome combination diagnosis mode based on syndrome,etiology,pathology and pharmacology can understand the disease from a multiple and comprehensive level,in order to realize the combination and complementation of advantages from both medicines.In addition,formula-syndrome relation means the relationship between the formula and its relevant indications.In general,indications often involve syndromes,symptoms,diseases and body constitutions.And the application of formula in the Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases is the representative of this theory.Hence,the application of associated classical formula gives example to the clinical formula-syndrome relation application in modem times.

The analysis on regularity of comparability among famous physician's prescriptions for treating chest pain since the Han Dynasty will be helpful to treat chest pain and develop new herbs.The Chinese Medicine Auxiliary System (V2.5) was used to analysis the regularity of comparability by inputting the most famous 101 prescriptions for the treatment of chest pain from the Han Dynasty to Qing Dynasty.The results showed that the most common single drugs were cassia twig,40 times (39.6%).The most common couplet medicines were licorice and poria cocos,21 times (20.8%).The most common triangle medicines were ginger,pinellia,and cassia twig,13 times (12.9%).The most common drug combination based on association rules was the combination of cassia twig,peucedani radix→ginger (confidence level of 0.909 1).The core drugs based on complex network was cassia twig,licorice,and etc.New prescription combinations based on the entropy method were 11 new prescriptions including allium,cassia twig,poria,and almonds.It was concluded that there were regularity of comparability in ancient prescriptions for treating chest pain.Approaching and developing medicine for the treatment of chest pain should be from the following 6 points.The priority choice of single drug was cassia twig,and etc.The priority choice of couplet medicines was licorice and poria cocos,etc.The priority choice of triangle medicines was ginger,pinellia,cassia twig,and etc.The combination of high correlation should be chosen in treating chest pain,such as cassia twig,peucedani radix→ginger,and etc.The core drugs are necessary.In the warming yang method,cassia twig is the core drug and ginger is the auxiliary drug,and etc.New prescription combination,such as allium,cassia twig,poria,almonds,and etc.should be applied.

Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic form of cell death newly discovered in 2012.It is characterized by a lethal accumulation of iron-dependent reactive oxygen species and lipid hydroperoxides,resulting in mitochondrial morphological changes and phospholipid peroxidation damage of cell membrane.As a strong oxidizing agent in biological systems,iron overloaded,can directly cause acute kidney injury(AKI)through oxidative damage.Iron homeostasis disturbance and ferroptosis are directly involved in AKI caused by ischemia-reperfusion,drugs and rhabdomyolysis,etc.This article reviews the relevant evidence and the important mechanism of iron homeostasis and ferroptosis in AKI,and provides new ideas and new targets for further research and treatment of AKI.
