Objective To analyze the medication law and academic thoughts of Professor Wang Junhong in the treatment of tic disorders(TD)in children.Methods The cases of children with TD diagnosed and treated by Professor Wang Junhong from January 2015 to November 2022 were selected.Excel 2016 was used to analyze the clinical information of children with TD.The frequency ranking,property,taste and meridian tropism,and changes of prescription drugs were analyzed in multiple dimensions.SPSS Modeler 18.0 was used to analyze the drug association rules of prescriptions in 2021 and 2022.Cytoscape 3.9.0 was used to analyze the complex network of drug-drug strong,medium and weak links obtained by SPSS Modeler 18.0.The drug groups were obtained in SPSS,and Excel 2016 was used to analyze the annual changes of high-frequency drugs.Results Totally 5586 prescriptions were included,involving 198 kinds of Chinese materia medica,with a total frequency of 108356 times.The top five kinds of high-frequency Chinese materia medica were Chrysanthemi Flos,Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma,Coptidis Rhizoma,Crataegi Fructus,Polygalae Radix.The medicinal properties were mostly cold,warm and mild.The medicinal tastes were mainly bitter,sweet and pungent.The main meridians of drugs were liver,heart and lung meridians.The association rule analysis showed that the common couplet medicines were Chrysanthemi Flos-Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma and Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma-Scorpio.Commonly used triple combination was Chrysanthemi Flos-Scorpio-Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma.Clustering analysis showed 4 drug groups,reflecting the characteristics of Professor Wang Junhong's treatment of calming liver and tranquilizing mind.According to the time-flow analysis,since 2020,the proportion of drugs such as Bupleuri Radix,Scutellariae Radix,Haliotidos Concha,Gastrodiae Rhizoma and Margaritifera Concha have gradually increased,indicating that more attention should be paid to treating the liver,resolving phlegm and calming the mind.Conclusion In the treatment of TD in children,Professor Wang Junhong takes heart,liver and lung as the center.The prescription medication is to relieve wind and phlegm,soothe the liver and tranquilize the mind.In recent years,it has attached importance to the role of regulating emotions and resolving phlegm in the treatment of children with TD.

Objective To explore the anti-inflammatory effect of Qingre Jiedu(QRJD)formula on mice with gout and its effect on gut microbiota.Methods Forty C57BL/6 mice weighing 20~22 g were divided into control(CON),model(MOD),allopurinol(ALLO),and QRJD formula(QRJD)groups,and i.g.10 g/0.1 mL carboxymethyl cellulose was administered to the CON every morning from 1 to 35 days.A hyperuricemia mouse model was prepared by intragastric injection of a potassium oxalic acid(500 mg/kg)and yeast extract(10 g/kg)suspension.On day 29,50 μL sterile carboxymethyl cellulose was injected into the right ankle of mice in the CON group under isoflurane-induced anesthesia,and a gouty arthritis model was prepared by injecting the same volume of sodium urate(50 mg/mL)into the right ankle of mice in the other groups.Each group was treated with corresponding drugs every day.On day 35,samples were collected from mice that had been fasted for 6 hours without water.Blood indexes,such as uric acid,creatinine,and urea nitrogen,were assessed.Hematoxylin-eosin and saffranine O-fast green staining was performed on ankle joints.Anti-inflammatory indexes of interleukin-10(IL-10)and transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)were detected by ankle joints immunohistochemical assay.The cecum contents of mice were collected,and changes in gut microbiota were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing of 16S rDNA.Results(1)After 7 days of treatment,compared with the MOD group,QRJD formula effectively reduced the blood concentrations of uric acid(P<0.001),creatinine(P<0.01),and urea nitrogen(P<0.05),and effectively protected renal functions.(2)Compared with the MOD group,HE staining showed that synovial hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltration were reduced in the QRJD formula group after treatment.The cartilage arrangement of the compound was more orderly than before,cartilage destruction was less than that in the MOD group,and no matrix loss was observed.(3)Immunohistochemical analysis of the ankle joint indicated that IL-10 and TGF-β1 were not significantly increased in CON and MOD groups.Compared with the MOD group,IL-10 and TGF-β1 expression in the QRJD formula group were increased(P<0.05).(4)In terms of biodiversity,the number of MOD-specific OTUs increased by 75 compared to the CON group,while the QRJD was able to reduce the number of MOD-specific OTUs to more closely resemble the CON group;no significant difference was found in α-diversity among the four groups(P<0.05),whereas β-diversity was more similar to the CON group(P=0.001).(5)Compared with the CON group,the MOD group exhibited increased abundances(P<0.05)of Ruminococcaceae spp.,Dubosiella sp.,Tyzzerella sp.,Ileibacterium sp.,and Bacteroidales spp..In contrast to the MOD group,the QRJD formula group showed elevated abundances(P<0.05)of Lactobacillus sp.,Ligilactobacillus sp.,and Bacteroides sp..Furthermore,an interaction network of gut microbiota indicated mutual interactions among these microorganisms.(6)In the correlation analysis between gut microbiota and renal functions as well as anti-inflammatory factors,the relative abundances of Dubosiella sp.,Tyzzerella sp.,and Bacteroidales spp.were significantly positively correlated to SUA and SCR(P<0.05).However,Lactobacillus sp.,Ligilactobacillus sp.,and Mitochondria spp.exhibited a positive correlation to anti-inflammatory factors IL-10 and TGF-β1 with a more significant association observed for TGF-β1(P<0.05).(7)COG function prediction suggested that the functions of the QRJD formula group were concentrated on inorganic ion transport and metabolism,and carbohydrate transport and metabolism.Conclusions QRJD effectively modulates immune inflammation and gut microbiota dysbiosis,thereby treating gout.Its mechanism of gout prevention and treatment may involve regulation of gut microbiota diversity and abundance,as well as the control of the abundance of differential bacterial species,such as Ruminococcaceae spp.,Dubosiella sp.,and Lactobacillus sp.,to achieve gout therapy.

Phyllanthi Fructus is a highly unique medicine and food homologous item, which exhibits distinctive flavor, notable nutritional value, and abundant pharmacological activity. It has enormous potential in the creation of health products and pharmaceuticals. However, due to the unique laws of quality formation and transfer of Phyllanthi Fructus, its appearance, shape, chemical compositions, nutrients, and sensory flavors are frequently greatly influenced by botanical resources, the processing and storage conditions. As a result, the current quality evaluation model is difficult to meet the needs of Phyllanthi Fructus as a medicine and food homologous item in the development of diversified products. This paper constructs the hierarchical utilization mode of Phyllanthi Fructus based on its unique quality formation and transmission laws, explores the quality evaluation model for food-oriented use and medicinal-oriented use, respectively, and systematically describes the quality evaluation idea under diversified application scenarios. This paper aims to serve as a reference for the construction of a quality evaluation model suitable for the medicine and food homologous item of Phyllanthi Fructus.
