YE Tianshi possessed a comprehensive theoretical system and extensive therapeutic experience in the treatment of warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi,all of which was recorded in his medical records.YE Tianshi elucidated the characteristics of the pathogenesis of the three types of warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi,namely spring warmth,summer heat,and winter warmth,and explained the pathogenesis of latent pathogenic qi from the perspective of vital qi and pathogen,and pointed out that the weakness of vital qi and the pathogenic qi led to the concealment of pathogenic qi,and that the struggle between vital qi and pathogen led to the onset of latent pathogenic qi.In the treatment,YE Tianshi emphasized the importance of clearly identifying the level of qi and blood in the internal organs where the latent pathogenic qi is located,and focused on the syndrome differentiation of weifen,qifen,yingfen,and xuefen,and combined with the syndrome differentiation of zang-fu viscera,the principle and method of treatment and medication law of warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi were formulated.Although warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi is a heat syndrome,YE Tianshi also attached importance to the deficiency and excess of yang qi,pointed out that latent pathogenic qi had the possibility of transforming into cold syndrome,and discussed the rules of medication for cold latent pathogenic qi in the spleen,kidney,and eight extraordinary meridians.YE Tianshi's treatment of warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi not only emphasizes the nourishment of yin,but also emphasizes clearing qi and blood,and the circulation of qi in order to clear and penetrate the evil qi;he also pays attention to the sanjiao transmission of the latent pathogenic evil.The study of the law of YE Tianshi's differentiation and treatment of warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi may provide ideas for the clinical treatment of COVID-19,as well as diseases in various disciplines.

BACKGROUND:Vascular regeneration,as one of the crucial repair processes after its onset,necessitates visual analysis between the two. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the literature on ischemic stroke and vascular regeneration in the past decade using bibliometrics and sort out the current status,hotspots,and future research trends in this field. METHODS:We used a bibliometric approach to search the Web of Science database for literature on ischemic stroke and vascular regeneration published between January 2011 and May 2023.The obtained data were systematically analyzed using the VOSviewer visualization software to identify the number of articles,countries,keywords,institutions,authors,citations,and trends. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:We searched and selected 1 484 articles and found that the relationship between ischemic stroke and vascular regeneration has emerged as a research hotspot in the cerebrovascular field,with the number of published articles continuing to rise.Most of these articles were authored by institutions from China and the United States.Shanghai Jiao Tong University was the most cited institution.The most influential author was Hermann DM,whose article had been cited 1 003 times.The current hot research topics in the field include extracellular vesicles,microRNAs and mesenchymal stem cells,which are being studied for their correlations with relevant diseases.To conclude,the bibliometric analysis provides a visual analysis of ischemic stroke and vascular regeneration,which is found to be an emerging focus as well as a valuable reference for future trends and highlights in ischemic stroke and vascular regeneration.
