Employing bibliometric methods and adhering to principles of textual research, this study systematically investigated prescription source, formula name, composition evolution, dose evolution, origin, processing, ancient and modern applications of Xiaofengsan. Xiaofengsan, also known as Renshen Xiaofengsan and Chantui Xiaofengsan, was first recorded in the Taiping Huimin Hejijufang(hereafter referred to as Jufang) of the Southern Song dynasty. The formula composition included Schizonepetae Spica, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Chuanxiong Rhizoma, Notoptery Rhizoma et Radix, Bombyx Batryticatus, Saposhnikoviae Radix, Poria, Cicadae Periostracum, Pogostemonis Herba, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex and Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, a total of 12 medicinal materials. In terms of the evolution of formula composition, formulas across dynasties largely aligned with those recorded in Jufang, with only minor variations in application. The results of the formula dosage research indicated that one dose of medication in Jufang corresponded to the following modern dosages:Schizonepetae Spica of 82.6 g, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma of 82.6 g, Chuanxiong Rhizoma of 82.6 g, Notoptery Rhizoma et Radix of 82.6 g, Bombyx Batryticatus of 82.6 g, Saposhnikoviae Radix of 82.6 g, Poria of 82.6 g, Cicadae Periostracum of 82.6 g, Pogostemonis Herba of 82.6 g, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma of 82.6 g, Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex of 20.65 g and Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium of 20.65 g, the origins of all the constituent drugs were consistent with the 2020 edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. The results of the investigation into the decoction method indicated that the aforementioned drugs should be finely ground into powder(pass through the No.5 sieve), and 8.26 g was taken for each dose, which was taken with the clear liquid obtained by steeping tea leaves in boiling water for several minutes. This mixture was administered three times daily, 30 min after meals. The ancient functional indications of this formula mainly involved dispelling wind-heat, eliminating pathogenic factors and regulating the middle Jiao. It primarily treated all wind-heat syndromes manifesting as skin diseases, predominantly affecting the upper body, especially the head and face. The diseases involved in modern applications were mostly dermatological diseases, including urticaria, eczema, atopic dermatitis and others. In this paper, by combing the relevant ancient literature, the key information of Xiaofengsan was textual researched, in order to provide reference for the modern application and development of this formula.

Objective:To describe the current status and research methods of external validation studies of risk prediction models conducted by nursing scholars in China.Methods:Using the search terms "predictive model, external validation, nursing, risk prediction, external validation, nursing" this study searched eight databases (China Biology Medicine disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, Embase, PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science) for studies published up to June 2023. Literature was imported into EndNote software for organization and deduplication. Two researchers independently conducted initial and secondary screenings by reading the titles, abstracts, and full texts of studies according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Descriptive analysis was conducted on the included studies under the framework of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) scoping review methodology.Results:A total of 70 studies (15 dissertations and 55 journal articles), primarily published from 2021 to 2023, were included. Among 246 risk prediction models constructed by nurses, 28.5% (70/246) underwent external validation. The models focused on issues such as infection, cognitive impairment, skin injury, thrombosis, and malnutrition. Most studies were conducted in single-center settings (71.4%, 50/70), with temporal validation being the most common type (67.1%, 47/70). The majority of models were presented as nomograms, though some studies had methodological issues in validation.Conclusions:In recent years, new prediction models for specific diseases or endpoints have continued to emerge from nursing research in China, yet few have undergone external validation for clinical application, and the quality and methods of validation require improvement. Future researchers should standardize and strengthen the external validation and optimization of risk prediction models, focusing on clinical applicability to enhance the practical value of these models.

Lianggesan was first recorded in Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang, which was composed of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Natrii Sulfas, Gardeniae Fructus, Forsythiae Fructus, Scutellariae Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma(GRR), Menthae Haplocalycis Herba, Lophatheri Herba and Mel. It was clinically applied to treat fire-heat syndrome in the upper and middle Jiao, and the curative effect was positive. In this study, the bibliometric method was used to conduct a detailed textual research on the formula name, medicinal composition, dosage evolution, origin and processing, functional indications and other aspects of Lianggesan. Research revealed that Lianggesan has six other names, such as Lianqiao Yinzi, Lianqiao Jiedusan, Jufang Lianggesan, Jiegu Lianggesan, Hejian Lianggesan and Qingji Lianggesan. Based on the edition of Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang, an analysis of the evolution of its formula composition revealed that the missing Chinese medicines were predominantly bamboo leaves and honey, while the added Chinese medicines were primarily supplements introduced to address changes in disease manifestations. After textual research, the dosage for one dose of Lianggesan from Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang was as follows:826 g of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, 826 g of Natrii Sulfas, 826 g of GRR, 413 g of Gardeniae Fructus, 413 g of Menthae Haplocalycis Herba, 413 g of Scutellariae Radix, and 1652 g of Forsythiae Fructus. Decocting method was as following:Grinding the Chinese medicines into coarse powder(2-4 mm), taking 8.16 g per dose, adding 300 mL of water, along with 2 g of Lophatheri Herba and 5 g of Mel, and decocting to 140 mL. The residue was removed and taken warmly 30 min after meals. It was recommended to take it three times daily until improvement was achieved. The origins of the 9 Chinese medicines were consistent with the 2020 edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. Except for GRR, which required single frying(stir-frying), the remaining medicines were all raw products. The description of the function of this formula in ancient books was summarized as purging fire and promoting bowel movements, clearing heat from the upper body and purging the lower body, and the main syndromes included facial redness, tongue swelling, red eyes, etc. In modern applications, the formula is primarily used for respiratory and digestive system diseases, including acute lung injury, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, herpetic angina and aphthous stomatitis, covering 142 types of diseases. In summary, this paper can provide a basis for further research and development of Lianggesan through the literature review and key information combing.
