By reviewing ancient materia medica, medical books, prescription books and modern literature, the herbal textual research of Sanguisorbae Radix has been conducted to verify the name, origin, evolution of scientific name, producing area, harvesting time, quality evaluation and processing methods. Through herbal textual research, the name of Diyu was first published in the Shennong Bencaojing, and has been used as the proper name of this herb for generations since then. The origin of the mainstream Diyu of previous generations was the roots of Sanguisorba officinalis or its variant S. officinalis var. longifolia. In ancient times, this herb was preferred to those with soft and fat roots, according to this characteristic, its origin should be S. officinalis var. longifolia. In modern literature, the root is preferred to those with thick, hard, pink or red sections, without rhizomes or fibrous roots, according to these characteristics, its origin should be S. officinalis. Most of the time, the past generation used Diyu directly. Occasionally, Sanguisorbae Radix was processed by frying with vinegar, baking or other methods. Since the Qing dynasty, the carbonized products has appeared and has continued to now. Based on research, it is recommended that the roots of S. officinalis var. longifolia should be used in the development of famous classical formulas, and the processing method should be selected according to the formula.

By reviewing ancient materia medica and combining with modern literature, the textual research of Magnoliae Flos has been conducted to verify the name, origin, producing area, harvesting and processing methods, in order to provide basis for the selection and use of this herb in the development of famous classical formulas. After the textual research, it could be seen that the correct name of Magnoliae Flos was Xinyi in the past dynasties, meaning spicy flower buds. The main original plants used in past dynasties are Magnolia denudata and M. biondii. The history of the research on its scientific name in recent times is complicated, many foreign scholars have given several different scientific names, but most of them are inconsistent with the actual situation of Magnoliae Flos used in ancient China, because foreign scholars failed to collect the original plants of Magnoliae Flos for accurate identification. Before the Ming dynasty, Magnoliae Flos was mainly produced in Shaanxi, and then the recorded production areas gradually increased. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the products produced in Henan named M. biondii were highly respected, and Henan was regarded as authentic producing area, and because of the collection and distribution through Yuzhou, it was customarily called Huichunhua. In ancient times, the harvesting period of Magnoliae Flos mostly concentrated in the first and second months of the lunar calendar, and the flower buds of M. biondii were also recommended to be used as medicine, but nowadays the flower buds are mostly collected in winter and spring, and those with dry buds, large size, yellow-green color, tight inner petals, fragrant smell, and no impurities are preferred. In the past dynasties, raw products were the mainstream, and there were also frying, soaking and so on. Based on the results, it is suggested that the flower buds of M. biondii should be used in the development of famous classical formulas. If the original formula does not specify the processing requirements, the raw products can be used as medicine.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of HEMO-FISS-QoL(HF-QoL) questionnaire (HF-QoL-C) in the Chinese population with hemorrhoids.Methods:From November 2021 to November 2022, a self-constructed general information questionnaire, HF-QoL-C, and the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36), Goligher classification, and Giordano severity of hemorrhoid symptom questionnaire (GSQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 760 hemorrhoid patients in the anorectal department of six hospitals. The data was analyzed for reliability and validity using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 26.0 software.Results:The Cronbach's α coefficient of HF-QoL-C and its dimension ranged from 0.831 to 0.960, and the split coefficient was 0.832-0.915. Four common factors were extracted through principal component exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable structural validity( χ2/ df=8.152, RSMEA=0.097, CFI=0.881, IFI=0.881, NFI=0.867). HF-QoL-C was correlated with SF36 and GSQ( r=-0.694, 0.501, both P<0.01). There were differences in the total score and dimensional scores of HF-QoL-C between surgical and drug treated patients, different grades of Goligher classification for hemorrhoidal disease, and different ranges of hemorrhoid prolapse (all P<0.001). No ceiling effect was found in the total score and the scores of each dimension(0.3%-2.0%). There was a floor effect in both psychological function and sexual activity dimensions (16.7%, 35.1%). Conclusion:HF-QoL-C has good reliability and validity, which can be used to measure the quality of life of Chinese hemorrhoid patients.
