Objective: To characterize the incidence density of systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Yinzhou District of Ningbo from 2016 to 2021, and compare the age and gender specific differences. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted based on the related data from 2015 to 2021 collected from the Health Information Platform of Yinzhou. Suspected SLE cases in local residents were identified by fuzzy matching of International Classification of Diseases 10th edition code "M32" or Chinese text "lupus". The classification criteria from Systemic Lupus International Collaboration Clinics-2012 and The European League Against Rheumatism/American College of Rheumatology-2019 were used for case verification. SLE cases were identified with specific algorithm based on verification results, and new cases were identified with 1 year as the washout period. The incidence density and 95%CI were estimated by Poisson distribution. Results: From 2016 to 2021, a total of 1 551 921 permanent residents were registered in Yinzhou, in whom 51.52% were women. The M(Q1,Q3) age at enrollment was 40.38 (27.54, 53.54) years. The M(Q1,Q3) of follow-up person-years was 3.83 (0.41, 5.83) years. There were 451 new SLE cases, in which 352 were women (78.05%). The 6-year incidence density was 8.14/100 000 person-years (95%CI: 7.41/100 000 person-years-8.93/100 000 person-years) for the total population, 3.68/100 000 person-years (95%CI: 2.99/100 000 person-years-4.48/100 000 person-years) for men and 12.37/100 000 person-years (95%CI: 11.11/100 000 person-years- 13.73/100 000 person-years) for women. The incidence density in men appeared a small peak at 20-29 years old, and began to increase with age from 40 years old. The incidence density in women was highest in age group 20-29 years (16.57/100 000 person-years) and remained to be high until 30-79 years old. The incidence density of SLE in Yinzhou show no significant temporal trend from 2016 to 2021 (men: P=0.848; women: P=1.000). Conclusions: The incidence density of SLE in Yinzhou from 2016 to 2021 was similar to those of other areas in China. SLE has a high incidence in women, especially in the young and elderly, suggesting that more attention should be paid to the diagnosis and treatment of SLE in women.

Aim To study the effect of salidroside (SAL) on cerebral vascular endothelial cells of rats with ischemic brain injury and its mechanism of action. Methods Twenty-four healthy adult SD male rats were prepared by bolt plugging method to prepare MCAO models,and randomly divided into sham surgery group ( Sham ) , model group ( MCAO ) , and SAL administration group (MCAO + SAL) ,and the concentration of SAL was 50 mg • kg ~ , with a continuous administration for six days. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 , E-se-lectin,and P-selectin in injured brain tissue of rats. In vitro cell experiments using HUVECs were subjected to different concentrations of salidroside (0. 1,1,10 jjunol • L ) and LPS (100 ^g • L ) intervened for 24 hours,and CCK-8 was employed to detect the effects of SAL and LPS on the survival of HUVECs. In vitro an-giogenesis experiments, LPS group ( 100 (jLg • L~ ) and SAL administration group ( LPS + Sal) intervened in HUVECs for 24 hours,and the concentrations of SAL administration were 0. 1,1, and 10 jjunol • L , then the effects of LPS and SAL on their angiogenesis were observed. The protein expressions of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 ,E-selectin,and P-selectin in HUVECs were detected by Western blot. Results SAL could reduce the expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-selectin, and P-selectin in ischemic brain tissue of MCAO rats. In vitro experimental studies found that salidroside had no effect on the survival of HUVECs. LPS inhibited the angiogenesis of HUVECs, and after the action of SAL, SAL (1,10 jjimol • L ) reversed the effect of LPS and promoted its angiogenesis. Compared with the control group,the expressions of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-selectin and P-selectin of HUVECs after LPS stimulation increased, while the expressions of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 , E-selectin and P-selectin were significantly reduced after the addition of SAL, which promoted the angiogenesis ability of HUVECs. Conclusions SAL can improve the ability of cell regeneration in rats with ischemic brain injury and promote the ability of blood vessel formation.

The name, origin, place of origin, medicinal parts, harvesting and processing of lotus are verified by consulting ancient Chinese herbal medicines and medical books, combined with modern literature, providing a basis for the development of famous classical formulas containing lotus. According to textual research, the original base of lotus is Nelumbo nucifera since ancient times, rhizome (Nelumbinis Rhizomatis Nodus), leaf (Nelumbinis Folium), seed (Nelumbinis Semen), embryo (Nelumbinis Plumula), receptacle (Nelumbinis Receptaculum), stamen (Nelumbinis Stamen) and other medicinal parts of N. nucifera can be used as medicine and have different clinical effects. Nelumbinis Semen was originally produced in Henan, and then gradually expanded to Jiangnan. Today, it can be cultivated and planted throughout the country, with Fujian, Hunan, and Jiangxi as the authentic production areas. After combing the medicinal parts of N. nucifera and the historical evolution of its processing, it is suggested that the dried and mature fruits of N. nucifera taking in autumn and removing the shell and Nelumbinis Plumula should be used in Qingxin Lianziyin. Nelumbinis Folium in Erdongtang should be harvested in summer and autumn, and the raw products was used as medicine and processed in accordance with the provision of the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

Based on the ancient literature of all dynasties, this article makes a systematic textual research on the name, origin, producing area, quality, harvesting and processing of Zisu (Perillae) in the famous classical formulas, so as to clarify the information of the drug in different historical periods and provide a reference for the development and utilization of the related formulas. The main origin of Perillae in the ancient literature was Perilla frutescens var. frutescens (purple leaf type), followed by P. frutescens var. acuta (purple leaf type), but not Baisu. Modern chemical composition studies also show that there are obvious differences between Perillae and Baisu, which provides a scientific basis for distinguishing them. Although they are often treated as a species in plant classification, P. frutescens var. frutescens (purple leaf type) is recommended in the development of famous classical formulas, and Baisu should be avoided. Perillae is widely distributed, but its producing area did not record in most of the literature in the past dynasties, or the producing area is described as everywhere today. In the period of the Southern and Northern dynasties, the medicinal parts of Perillae included stems, leaves and seeds, and doctors in the Ming dynasty began to pay attention to the differentiation of different medicinal parts. The harvesting and processing methods of Perillae in the past dynasties are close to that of today. Perillae Fructus is mostly stir-fried and ground into medicine, Perillae Folium and Perillae Caulis are mainly simple cleansing. In production, we can refer to the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

By referring to the relevant ancient herbal literature, medical records and prescription books, the textual research of Violae Herba has been conducted to verify the name, origin, producing area, quality evaluation and processing method changes. The results showed that the name of Zihua Diding originated from its flower color and plant morphological characteristics. The primitive plant of Violae Herba is Viola genus of Violaceae, V. yedoensis, as stipulated in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, has been the mainstream in past dynasties of China. Violae Herba is mainly wild, and it is widely distributed throughout the country. Since modern times, the quality of Violae Herba is better with integrity, green color and yellow root. There are few records on the harvesting and processing methods of Violae Herba in ancient times, most of which are directly used after drying. It is suggested that the collection and processing methods of Violae Herba in the famous classical formulas can be implemented in accordance with the provisions of the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

Through consulting the ancient herbal and medical books, combined with the field investigation, the name, origin, collection and processing of Dendrobium medicinal materials were researched, which provided a basis for the development of famous classical formulas containing this kind of herbs. Due to the wide distribution of D. officinale, the Dendrobium species represented by D. officinale and D. huoshanense, which are short, fleshy and rich in mucus, should be the most mainstream of Dendrobium medicinal materials in previous dynasties. Compared with Shihu, Muhu with loose texture, long and hollow is born on trees. According to the characteristic description, it should be D. nobile, D. fimbriatum and so on, of which D. nobile was the mainstream. The Chinese meaning of Jinchai was confused in the past dynasties, so it was not suitable to be treated as a plant name. The production areas of Dendrobium medicinal materials in the past dynasties have changed with the discovery of varieties, artificial cultivation and other factors. Lu'an, Anhui province, was the earliest recorded in the Han and Wei dynasties. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, it had been extended to Guangdong and Guangxi, and it was considered that "Dendrobii Caulis in Guangnan was the best". In the Ming dynasty, Sichuan and Zhejiang products were highly praised, and in the Qing dynasty, Huoshan products were highly praised. Dendrobium medicinal materials had been used as medicine by stems in all dynasties. The medicinal materials were divided into fresh products and dry products. The fresh products can be used immediately after removing the sediment from the roots. The dry products need further processing, most of them used wine as auxiliary materials for steaming, simmer to paste or decoction into medicine. D. officinale and D. huoshanense have special processing specifications since the middle of Qing dynasty, that is, "Fengdou". According to the research results, in Ganluyin, the effect of Dendrobium medicinal materials is mainly heat clearing, and D. nobile with bitter taste can be selected. The main effect of Dendrobium medicinal materials in Dihuang Yinzi is tonic, D. officinale or D. huoshanense can be selected.

In this study, name, origin, producing areas, harvesting time and processing methods of ancient Alismatis Rhizoma were systematically researched by consulting the literature of ancient herbs, medical and prescription books, so as to provide a basis for the development of famous classical formula containing this herb. According to textual research, the main base of ancient Alismatis Rhizoma was Alisma plantago-aquatica and A. orientale. A. canaliculatum and A. gramineum and other genera were sometimes used as the source of Alismatis Rhizoma, there was a confusion of medicinal varieties. The earliest producing area of Alismatis Rhizoma was in today's Henan province, and later Hanzhong, Shaanxi province, became the high-quality producing area of Alismatis Rhizoma. Since the Ming dynasty, its production area expanded to Fujian. In the Qing dynasty, Jian'ou in Fujian was the authentic production area of Alismatis Rhizoma. In the period of the Republic of China, Sichuan and Jiangxi were added to the production areas of Alismatis Rhizoma. Based on the research results, it is suggested that the dried tubers of A. orientale from Fujian and Jiangxi or A. plantago-aquatica from Sichuan should be used in the famous classical formulas. In ancient times, Alismatis Rhizoma was processed by wine, but most of the standards and specifications in modern times are no longer included the processing specifications of Alismatis Rhizoma with wine. Although salt-processed Alismatis Rhizoma is commonly used in modern times, it didn't become one of the main processing methods until the Qing dynasty. According to the relevant national documents, it is suggested that Alismatis Rhizoma without clear processing requirements in famous classical formulas should be used as raw products, and the formulas with processing requirements should be selected as processed products such as salt and wine according to the meaning of the formulas.
