Huanglian Jiedutang （HLJDT）， as a classical formula for clearing heat and removing toxins， has been widely applied in the treatment of various clinical diseases in recent years， particularly during the fire-heat stage of stroke， where it has attracted considerable attention. Based on previous studies， this paper systematically elaborates on the research progress on the active components of HLJDT， its clinical application in ischemic stroke， and advances in studies on its mechanisms of action. Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated that HLJDT contains multiple active components， including baicalin， geniposide， and berberine. In the treatment of ischemic stroke， these components exert therapeutic effects through multi-target， multi-pathway， and multi-level mechanisms. Clinical studies have shown that HLJDT can increase cerebral blood flow， reduce cerebral infarct volume， and improve post-stroke physical dysfunction in patients with ischemic stroke. Experimental studies have indicated that HLJDT can improve neurological function scores and increase cerebral perfusion in experimental stroke models. In addition， the mechanisms underlying the anti-ischemic stroke effects of HLJDT may be related to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities， promotion of angiogenesis， and regulation of amino acid and energy metabolism. Although existing studies have confirmed that HLJDT exhibits multi-target and multi-pathway synergistic therapeutic characteristics， further large-sample randomized controlled trials are still needed to verify its long-term efficacy and to further elucidate the dynamic interaction network among components， targets， and pathways. Combined with network pharmacology and molecular docking analyses， this study further clarifies the synergistic targets of the core components （berberine， baicalin， and geniposide）， providing a theoretical basis for in-depth research and clinical translation of HLJDT in the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Objective:To analyze trends in urticaria incidence among children aged 0 - 14 years in China from 1990 to 2021, to explore its changing patterns in different age, period, and cohort groups, and to investigate the impact of age and air pollutants on the incidence trends.Methods:Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Database (GBD2021) , including the number of urticaria cases, crude incidence rates, and age-standardized incidence rates among children aged 0 - 14 years of different genders in China from 1990 to 2021. The Joinpoint regression model was used to calculate the annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC) to assess temporal trends in incidence rates. An age-period-cohort model was applied to assess the effects of age, period, and cohort on urticaria incidence. Data on the annual emissions of 4 air pollutants (SO 2, CO, PM 2.5, and PM 10) in China from 1990 to 2021 were obtained from the Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) , and a multivariable meta-regression model was used to explore the relationship between air pollutants and urticaria incidence. Results:From 1990 to 2021, the age-standardized incidence rate of urticaria among children aged 0 - 14 years in China demonstrated a slight overall downward trend (AAPC = -0.03%, P < 0.01) . The incidence rate was generally higher in female children than in male children, and the decline in incidence rates was greater in female children than in male children (female AAPC = -0.02%, male AAPC = -0.01%, both P < 0.01) . The age-period-cohort model indicated that the risk of urticaria decreased with advancing age: with the age group of 0 - 4 years as the reference ( RR = 1.000) , the risk of urticaria significantly decreased in the age group of 5 - 9 years ( RR = 0.790, 95% CI: 0.789 - 0.791) and further declined in the age group of 10 - 14 years ( RR = 0.711, 95% CI: 0.710 - 0.711) ; the period effect analysis showed that the risk of urticaria gradually decreased after the baseline period of 1992 - 1996 ( RR = 1.000) , and dropped to 0.995 (95% CI: 0.994 - 0.997) in the period of 2017 - 2021; in the cohort effect analysis of the overall population aged 0 - 14 years, with the 1988 - 1992 birth cohort as the base cohort, an earlier birth cohort 1978 - 1982 exhibited the highest risk of urticaria ( RR = 1.006, 95% CI: 1.004 - 1.009) , while the 2013 - 2017 cohort showed the lowest risk ( RR = 0.996, 95% CI: 0.994 - 0.997) . The multivariable meta-regression analysis indicated a significant association between PM 2.5 exposure and urticaria incidence ( β = 0.319, 95% CI: 0.022 - 0.616, P = 0.033) , although this association was not statistically significant in different age groups. Conclusions:From 1990 to 2021, children aged 0 - 4 years in China were the highest-risk group for urticaria; the decline in the incidence rate of urticaria was more pronounced in female children than in male children, and earlier birth cohorts exhibited higher risks of urticaria. Exposure to PM 2.5 appeared to be associated with the incidence of urticaria.

Objective To investigate the effect of low salt diet on vascular remodeling of rat induced by high fructose(HF).Methods Wistar male rats weighed 180-200 g were fed for 8 weeks and randomly divided into 6 groups:(1) control group was given the normal fodder and distilled water;(2) high fructose group(HF) was given normal fodder (0.5 ％ NaCl,w/w) and fructose water(10 ％,w/v);(3) high-salt group (HNa) was given high salt fodder (7 ％ NaCl,w/w) and distilled water;(4) high fructose combined with high salt diet group(HFNa) was simultaneously given high salt fodder and 10 ％ fructose water;(5)high fructose combined low salt group(HFLNa) was simultaneously given low salt fodder and 10％ fructose water;(6) high fructose combined with spirotaclone group(HFE) was given 10％ fructose water for 4 weeks and then added with spirotaelone(50 mg · kg-1 · d-1 by tube feeding) for continuous 4 weeks.The changes of arterial blood pressure,vascular wall histological evaluation and expression of α-SMA and fibronectin in vascular wall were detected in each group.Results (1) Compared with the blood pressure[(111.03 ±9.17) mm Hg] in the control group,the blood pressure in the HF and HNa groups were (133.94± 5.86) mm Hg and (128.09±7.56) mm Hg respectively,which were significantly increased(P＜0.05);(2) HF mainly caused the hyperplasia of vascular wall middle layer smooth muscle.The a-SMA expression results in the HF group was (0.006 3 ±0.000 21),which in the control group was (0.004 6 ± 0.000 31),the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05),moreover which promoted the elastic fibers increase;while HNa mainly stimulated the elastic fibers to thicken and extracellular matrix deposition,the fibronectin expression was 0.002 6 ± 0.000 2 in the HNa group and (0.004 7±0.000 2)in the HF group,compared with(0.001 3±0.000 1)in the normal group,which were significantly increased(P＜0.001);(3) the blood pressure was (106.04±9.59) mm Hg in the HFLNa group,(103.99±7.12) mm Hg in the HFE group,compared with(133.94±5.86) mm Hg in the HF group,showing that the blood pressure in the HFLNa group and HFE group was significantly decreased compared with the HF group (P＜0.05);moreover the vascular remodeling in the HFLNa group(0.006 8±0.000 2) and HFE group (0.004 2±0.000 4) was improved,and compared with the HF group(0.006 3±0.000 2),α-SMA expression was significantly decreased (P＜0.05).Conclusion Low salt diet can effectively improve vascular remodeling induced by HEF.

Objective To study the factor affecting the efficiency of establishment of parthenogenetic stem cells (PESCs)in mice. Methods PESC lines were derived from parthenogenetically activated blastocyst inner cell mass of different mice strains and cultured in different systems.Results The efficiency of establishing the pESC showed no significant difference in hybrid and inbred lines.But the efficiency was increased in culture systems added with ERK inhibitor or knockout serum replacement(KSR).Conclusion The efficiency of establishment of pESC was not directly related with the genetic background of mice but it was closely related to the culture systems.
