ObjectiveTo comprehensively identify the O-methyltransferase (OMT) genes in Carthamus tinctorius and explore the key OMTs that can catalyze the methylation of flavonoids, providing a basis for understanding the molecular formation mechanism of the structural diversity of flavonoids in C. tinctorius. MethodsThe hidden Markov model was used to systematically identify the type Ⅰ OMTs from the high-quality genome data of C. tinctorius. A suite of bioinformatics tools was employed to systematically analyze the physicochemical properties, gene structure, conserved motifs, chromosomal localization, gene replication events, and collinearity of the identified genes. The target gene was heterologously expressed through the prokaryotic expression system of E. coli, and the protein function was verified by in vitro enzymatic reactions. ResultsA total of 31 type Ⅰ OMTs were identified. CtFOMT1 was successfully cloned and expressed in a soluble form in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein was purified via Ni2+ affinity chromatography to obtain a high-concentration preparation. In vitro enzymatic assays demonstrated that CtFOMT1 utilized S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor to catalyze the methylation of the 4′-OH of naringenin, resulting in the production of isosakuranetin. A similar process occurred with the 4′-OH of luteolin, leading to the formation of diosmetin. Subsequent methylation of the 3′-OH group of diosmetin generated 4′-methylchrysoeriol. ConclusionCtFOMT1 can catalyze the methylation of 4′-/3′-OH in the flavonoid skeleton. It is hypothesized that CtFOMT1 may play a role in the biosynthesis of various 4′-/3′-oxymethyl flavonoids in C. tinctorius.

By consulting herbal texts, medical records, formula collections, and other relevant literature from various historical periods, as well as modern and contemporary research materials, different aspects of the historical evolution of Zijingpi, including its name, origin, scientific name verification, medicinal part, genuine producing areas, harvesting, processing, and preparation, properties and flavors, and primary indications, were systematically reviewed and verified, providing a basis for the development of famous classical formula preparations containing this medicinal material. According to the textual research, Cercis chinensis was first recorded under the name "Zijingmu" in the Rihuazi Bencao from the Five Dynasties period. From the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, it was known by various names such as "Zijing", "Zijingpi", and "Zijingmupi". In modern and contemporary times, it has been officially named "Zijingpi", with aliases such as "Mantiaohong", "Zihuashu", and "Qingminghua". Historically, the mainstream source of Zijingpi was the dried bark of Cercis chinensis Bunge, a species of the legume family. However, there were also instances of confusion with the Lythraceae plant Lagerstroemia indica L. The producing areas of Zijingpi have no special geographical limitation, and the plant is currently distributed throughout most parts of China. There were no special requirements for harvesting time in ancient times, while modern records indicate harvesting time in spring, summer, and autumn. Ancient processing methods were rarely recorded, with only mentions of stir-frying Zijingpi. Modern practice mostly uses the raw material medicinally. Modern standards prefer it to be "dry, long strips, and thick". The functions of Zijingpi, mainly to promote blood circulation, relieve strangury, and detoxify, have remained consistent from ancient to modern times. Based on the textual research findings, it is recommended that when developing and exploiting the famous classical formulas containing Zijingpi, the bark of C. chinensis should be selected as the source. The processing method should be chosen according to the formula requirements, and if no specific requirements are indicated, it is suggested to use the raw material medicinally.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for clinical pharmacists to participate in the treatment of rare and complex cases of CTLA-4 haploid deficiency combined with severe malnutrition. METHODS The clinical pharmacist participated in the diagnosis and treatment of a complex case of CTLA-4 haploid deficiency with severe malnutrition, type 1 diabetes, blood coagulation abnormalities with gastrointestinal bleeding and virus infection, assisted the doctor to develop an individualized parenteral nutrition program, and dynamically adjusted the ratio of glucose and insulin (from 3.9∶1 to 15.6∶1). When patient had severe coagulation abnormalities and gastrointestinal bleeding, the clinical pharmacist recommended discontinuing fat emulsion and switching to glucose amino acid dual energy supply; when the patient had a high fever accompanied by a sudden drop in platelets, the clinical pharmacist recommended to improve the second-generation sequencing of plasma metagenomics. Based on positive results for both EB virus and cytomegalovirus, the clinical pharmacist recommended to discontinue meropenem and switch to ganciclovir for antiviral treatment; when the patient experienced systemic itching and mental excitement, the clinical pharmacist quickly diagnosed as an adverse reaction of ganciclovir and recommended to switch to acyclovir for antiviral treatment. The clinical pharmacist simultaneously carried out parenteral nutrition medication education, and standardized infusion speed, and continuously monitored bleeding-related indicators. RESULTS The physician adopted the advice of the clinical pharmacist. After comprehensive intervention, the patient’s body temperature returned to normal, gastrointestinal bleeding stopped, coagulation indicators significantly improved, blood sugar control reached the standard, and the condition improved and the patient was discharged. CONCLUSIONS Clinical pharmacists rely on comprehensive pharmaceutical services to balance the benefits and risks of treatment for rare and complex cases. They play a key role in individualized nutrition planning, refined blood glucose control, infection identification and anti-infection optimization, and identification and treatment of adverse drug reactions to ensure patient medication safety and efficacy.

This article systematically analyzes the historical evolution of the name, origin, medicinal parts, processing and other aspects of Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix(EPR) by referring to the herbal medicine, medical books, prescription books and other documents of the past dynasties, combined with the relevant modern research materials, so as to provide a basis for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing this herbal medicine. According to research, EPR was first recorded in the Shennong Bencaojing in the name of Daji, and it is the correct name of the herbal medicine in all dynasties, there are also other aliases such as Qiongju, Hongya Daji, and Xiamaxian. The dried roots of Euphorbia pekinensis from Euphorbiaceae was the mainstream of the past dynasties. Before the Ming dynasty, the above ground parts of E. pekinensis were used as Zeqi in herbal works. However, since LI Shizhen in the Ming dynasty proposed that the origin of Zeqi should be E. helioscopia, the aerial part of EPR is no longer used as medicine. Since modern times, the roots of Knoxia valerianoides has been used as EPR, and has become the mainstream of commodities, which should be corrected. Throughout history, it has been recorded that the main producing areas were Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Shanxi and other regions, while modern botanical survey have shown that EPR is a widespread species distributed throughout the country. In ancient times, the harvesting time of EPR was mostly the twelfth lunar month, while in modern time, it is more common to harvest in autumn and winter. The main processing methods of EPR in ancient times were vinegar processing, wine processing, and stir frying, while in modern times, it is uniformly vinegar processing. In the medicinal properties and clinical aspects, the records are basically consistent throughout history, mainly characterized by bitter taste, cold and toxic nature. Its main efficacy is expelling water retention and reducing swelling. Based on the textual research, it is suggested to choose the dried roots of E. pekinensis when famous classical formulas containing EPR, processing method can be based on the original specified prescription requirements, if the processing method is not clear, it is recommended to use vinegar-processed products as medicine.
