This paper introduced the overview of the "eight trends" of Chinese medicinal materials(CMM) industry in 2021, analyzed the problems of CMM production, and put forward development suggestions. Specifically, "eight trends" could be summarized as follows.(1) The growing area of CMM tended to be stable, and some provinces began to release the local catalog of Dao-di herbs.(2) The protection process of new varieties accelerated, and a number of excellent varieties were bred.(3) The theory of ecological cultivation was further enriched, and the demonstration effect of ecological cultivation technology was prominent.(4) Some CMM realized complete mechanization and formed typical model cases.(5) The number of cultivation bases using the traceability platform increased, and provincial internet trading platforms were set up.(6) The construction of CMM industrial clusters accelerated, and the number of provincial-level regional brands increased rapidly.(7) Many new agricultural business entities were founded nationwide, and a variety of methods were used to drive the intensified development of CMM.(8) A number of local TCM laws were promulgated, and the management regulation of food and medicine homology substances catalogs was issued. On this basis, four suggestions for CMM production were proposed.(1) It is suggested to speed up the formulation of the national catalog of Dao-di herbs and carry out the certification of Dao-di herbs production bases.(2) Ecological planting of forest and grassland medicine should be further strengthened in terms of technical research and promotion based on the principle of ecological priority.(3) The basic work of disaster prevention should be paid more attention and technical measures for disaster mitigation should be developed.(4) The planted area of commonly used CMM should be incorporated into the national regular statistical system.

Objective: To analyze the association between exposure patterns of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and anxiety symptom trajectories in medical college students. Methods: A survey was conducted on first-year students from Anhui Medical College and Anqing Medical College, using the Childhood Abuse Questionnaire, Family Disability Questionnaire, Childhood Adverse Social Experience Item, and Anxiety Self Rating Scale. The baseline survey was conducted from November to December 2019, and two follow-up visits were conducted once every six months until November to December 2020. The latent class analysis (LCA) was used to analyze the exposure patterns of ACEs. The latent class growth analysis (LCGA) was used to analyze the development trajectory of anxiety symptoms. The multiple logistic regression model was used to analyze the correlation between different exposure patterns of ACEs and the trajectory of anxiety symptom trajectories. Results: A total of 3 662 college students aged (19.2±1.0) were surveyed. The LCA showed that the exposure patterns of ACEs could be divided into the "high ACEs" group (13.4%), "high neglect/emotional abuse" group (25.7%), "high family dysfunction" group (6.9%), "high neglect" group (27.1%), and "low ACEs" group (26.3%). The LCGA divided anxiety trajectories into four groups: "high anxiety decline" (7.1%),"anxiety increase "(4.1%), "moderate anxiety"(52.9%), and "low anxiety"(35.9%). Using the low ACEs group as a reference group, compared with the low anxiety trajectory, the high ACEs group, high neglect/emotional abuse group, high family dysfunction group, high neglect group, and medium to high-level anxiety trajectory were all associated with an increased risk (P<0.05). Conclusion: There is heterogeneity in ACEs exposure patterns among medical college students, and ACEs exposure patterns are important influencing factors for anxiety symptom trajectories.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the molecular pathological mechanism of liver metabolic disorder in severe spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
METHODS:
The transgenic mice with type Ⅰ SMA (Smn-/- SMN20tg/2tg) and littermate control mice (Smn+/- SMN20tg/2tg) were observed for milk suckling behavior and body weight changes after birth. The mice with type Ⅰ SMA mice were given an intraperitoneal injection of 20% glucose solution or saline (15 μL/12 h), and their survival time was recorded. GO enrichment analysis was performed using the RNA-Seq data of the liver of type Ⅰ SMA and littermate control mice, and the results were verified using quantitative real-time PCR. Bisulfite sequencing was performed to examine CpG island methylation level in Fasn gene promoter region in the liver of the neonatal mice.
RESULTS:
The neonatal mice with type Ⅰ SMA showed normal milk suckling behavior but had lower body weight than the littermate control mice on the second day after birth. Intraperitoneal injection of glucose solution every 12 h significantly improved the median survival time of type Ⅰ SMA mice from 9±1.3 to 11± 1.5 days (P < 0.05). Analysis of the RNA-Seq data of the liver showed that the expression of the target genes of PPARα related to lipid metabolism and mitochondrial β oxidation were down-regulated in the liver of type Ⅰ SMA mice. Type Ⅰ SMA mice had higher methylation level of the Fasn promoter region in the liver than the littermate control mice (76.44% vs 58.67%). In primary cultures of hepatocytes from type Ⅰ SMA mice, treatment with 5-AzaC significantly up-regulated the expressions of the genes related to lipid metabolism by over 1 fold (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION
Type Ⅰ SMA mice have liver metabolic disorder, and the down-regulation of the target genes of PPARα related to lipid and glucose metabolism due to persistent DNA methylation contributes to the progression of SMA.

Through consulting the ancient herbs, medical books and modern literature, this paper made textual research on the name, origin, producing area, quality evaluation, collection and processing of medicinal materials of Sang (Mori Folium, Mori Cortex, Mori Ramulus, Mori Fructus) in famous classical formulas, in order to provide a basis for the development of famous classical formulas containing medicinal materials of Sang. According to the research, Mori Folium and Mori Cortex were first used as medicines in Shengnong Bencaojing , Mori Ramulus was first used as medicine in Jinxiaofang, and Mori Fructus was first used as medicine in Xinxiu Bencao. Before the Tang dynasty, there were Nyusang and Shansang. Since Tang dynasty, there were many sources of medicinal materials of Sang, including Baisang (Morus alba), Jisang (M. australis), Shansang (M. mongolica), etc. According to textual research, the mainstream varieties were M. australis, M. alba and their cultivated varieties. In modern times, according to the relevant information and the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, M. alba is the original base. In ancient times, the origin of mulberry changed with the development of sericulture, mulberry has been widely planted since the Song dynasty. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, mulberry has been planted most in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In modern times, they are mainly produced in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hunan and other places. In recent years, due to the related policies and strategies such as "moving silkworms from east to west", the center of silkworm breeding has gradually transferred to the west. As for the quality evaluation and harvesting and processing of mulberry medicinal materials, Most of the ancient and modern records of Mori Folium are the same. They are harvested after frost, and dried after removing impurities. The quality is better when the leaves are large and thick, yellowish green, holding prickly hands and undergoing frost. The harvesting period of Mori Cortex is slightly different in ancient and modern records. Ancient books record that it can be harvested all the year round, but in modern times, it is mostly harvested from late autumn to the next spring. The processing methods include removing soil and fibrous roots, scraping off yellow-brown rough skin, peeling off white skin and drying in the sun. The quality is better when they are white, thick, flexible, free of rough skin and full of powder. There are few records about the collection, processing and quality evaluation of Mori Ramulus and Mori Fructus in ancient Chinese herbal books. According to modern literature, Mori Ramulus is usually collected in late spring and early summer, with leaves removed, slightly dried, sliced while fresh, and dried in the sun. The best quality of Mori Ramulus is fine and tender with the yellow and white section. Mori Fructus is harvested from April to June when the fruit turns red, and dried in the sun, or slightly steamed and dried in the sun, and it is better to be big, dark purple, oily and thick. There are many processing methods of mulberry medicinal materials. Ancient books record stir frying, baking, burning and steaming of Mori Folium, in modern times, there is honey-roasted method, but most of them are used as raw products. In ancient materia medica, Mori Cortex has firing method, baking method, stir-frying method, honey-fried method, etc. In modern times, there are stir-fried and honey-fried methods, and most of them are used as raw products. Ancient books record that Mori Ramulus has cutting and frying methods, while modern ones have cutting, frying, wine-processed and bran-processed methods. Processing methods of Mori Fructus are consistent in ancient and modern times, and they are mostly dried after being cleaned or steamed. Based on the research results, it is suggested that M. alba should be selected as mulberry medicinal materials in the famous classical formulas, and appropriate medicinal parts and processing methods can be selected according to the indications of the famous classical formulas.

In this paper, the name, origin, producing area and other aspects of Menthae Haplocalycis Herba in the famous classical formulas were carried out by consulting herbal literature, medical books, prescription books in the past dynasties and related modern documents. Through the textual research, it can be seen that the name of Bohe was used as the correct name in the mainstream of the past dynasties, and there were still multiple synonyms, most of which originated from the false transmission of dialectal accent, producing area and efficacy. There are many varieties recorded in the literature of the past dynasties such as Bohe, Longnao Bohe, Hubohe and Shibohe. According to the textual research, Bohe, Longnao Bohe and Yebohe are consistent with Mentha haplocalyx, whcih is the mainstream variety. Longnao Bohe is named for its form of producing area, Shibohe is Mosla chinensis, Daye Bohe is Agastache rugosa, and Nanbohe is M. crispata. Menthae Haplocalycis Herba has been widely planted since Tang dynasty. It was mainly grown in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Sichuan in Ming and Qing dynasties, and Jiangsu is the genuine production area. Its quality is best if it has dry body, no roots, many leaves, green color and strong smell. In ancient times, the stems and leaves of Menthae Haplocalycis Herba were often picked and dried in summer and autumn, which is basically the same as the records of modern times when the stems and leaves are luxuriant in summer and autumn, or when the flowers bloom to three rounds, they are picked in sunny days and cut in different times, and then dried in the sun or in the shade, and the raw products was often used as medicine in ancient and modern times. Before the Song dynasty, Menthae Haplocalycis Herba was recorded as pungent and warm. Until the Song dynasty, it was written as “extremely cool” in Lyuchanyan Bencao. It may have been thought in the early stage that it was similar to several warm herbs, such as Perilla frutescens, Stachys japonica, Elsholtzia ciliata and M. chinensis in appearance, all of which have the function of Xinsan, so it was recorded as warm. Since the Qing dynasty, Menthae Haplocalycis Herba has been recorded as cool property in the mainstream materia medica, Menthae Haplocalycis Herba recorded as pungent and cool in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and its effect is to dissipate wind heat, clear the head, relieve the pharynx and so on, the records of efficacy in ancient and modern times are basically the same. Based on the research results, it is suggested that raw products of M. haplocalyx should be selected when developing the famous classical formulas containing Menthae Haplocalycis Herba.

Green agriculture has become the "wind vane" of agricultural reform in the new era. The development concept of Chinese materia medica(CMM) ecological agriculture and the emergence of new technologies provide momentum for the supply of high-quality green ecological products. As special ecological products, Dao-di herbs have medicinal, economic, ecological, and cultural values. The ecological planting of CMM and the value realization of ecological products are of great significance for the high-quality development of CMM agriculture and for prospering agriculture by improving quality. Therefore, this paper reviews the development status and typical cases, and puts forward the advantages of ecological product value realization of Dao-di herbs. On this basis, a value accounting system for ecological products of CMM was constructed from three aspects: supply services, ecological services, and cultural services. Finally, the suggestions for realizing the value of CMM ecological products are put forward.(1)It is suggested to strengthen the practice of ecological planting and production of CMM, and innovate the value realization model of ecological products.(2)The ecological planting bases of Dao-di herbs should be constructed to enhance the supply capacity of high-quality ecological products.(3)The quality and safety of ecological CMM should be improved to create the ecological planting brand of Dao-di herbs.(4)The ecological product value system and mechanism should be improved for realizing the value of CMM ecological products.(5)The education and publicity should be strengthened to raise the public awareness of the value of CMM ecological products.
