Erchentang is a classic formula widely used by medical practitioners throughout history. In this paper,ancient and modern literature of Erchentang were collected, and bibliometrics was employed to analyze its historic evolution,prescription meaning,herbs origin, processing method,preparation methods, and clinical application. A total of 84 pieces of data were collected, and 58 pieces of data involving 53 ancient medical Chinese books were screened, sorted, and processed. Combined with research of modern scholars,the research has found that the Erchentang originated from the Taiping Huimin Huiye Shijie Fang compiled by the Imperial Medical Bureau of the Song Dynasty. The basic information about the origin of the drugs is quite clear. Pinelliae rhizoma in the formula is the dried tuber of Pinellia ternata. Citri exocarpium rubrum is the dried mature peel of Citrus reticulata and its cultivated varieties, with the inner white membrane removed. Poria is the whitest dry sclerotia of Poria cocos; Glycyrrhizae radix et rhizoma is the dried root and rhizome of the Glycyrrhiza uralensis. The dosage is 5.70 g Pinelliae rhizome and Citri exocarpium rubrum, 3.43 g Poria, and 1.69 g Glycyrrhizae radix et rhizoma praeparata cum melle. During the decoction process, the above-mentioned herbs should be chopped, with 300 mL water, 7 g ginger in thick slices, and 2 g Mume fructus added, and it was then simmered together to 180 mL. After removing the medicinal residue, it can be taken warmly. Erchentang has the effect of drying dampness and resolving phlegm, regulating Qi and harmonizing the middle. It can be used in treating the syndrome of phlegm and dampness,as well as symptoms such as frequent cough,white phlegm,fullness in chest and diaphragm,nausea and vomiting,limb drowsiness,anorexia,dizziness,palpitations,white and greasy tongue coating, and slippery pulse. The above results provide reference for future research and development of Erchentang.

Based on the theories of "pathogenesis caused by constraint emotions" and "visceral orifices", it is believed that the pathogenesis of tinnitus caused by constraint syndrome follows the evolution pattern of "qi constraint (liver qi constraint) → fire disturbance (liver constraint transforming into fire) → deficiency impairment (liver constraint with spleen deficiency) → blood stasis (liver constraint leading to blood stasis)". The treatment is guided by the principle of integrated internal and external therapy with harmonization of both body and mind. Internally, the treatment focuses on rectifying zang-fu imbalances, primarily using the Xiaoyao Powder (逍遥散), with modifications based on syndrome differentiation. External therapies aim to unblock the meridians and orifices, commonly using auricular acupressure and Chinese herbal hot compresses. Additionally, traditional Chinese five-tone music therapy is applied to regulate emotional and mental disturbances. By integrating these three approaches, a comprehensive treatment strategy is formed that harmonizes both body and mind for managing tinnitus associated with constraint syndrome.

Objective·To explore the function and potential mechanism of suppressor of zeste 12(SUZ12)in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods·The expression of SUZ12 in HCC patients was analyzed using R language in liver cancer datasets,and relevant survival curves were drawn.Stable knockdown of SUZ12 was established in the liver cancer cell lines LM3 and Huh7.The knockdown efficiency of SUZ12 was assessed using quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR)and Western blotting.Cell proliferation ability was assessed using CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay.Using the hydrodynamic tail vein injection(HTVI)method,Suz12 was knocked out in the livers of fully immunocompetent mice to explore its tumorigenic function in vivo.The molecular mechanism of SUZ12 regulating HCC was explored using The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database.R language was used to analyze the relationship between SUZ12 and the expression of cancer stem cell(CSC)markers as well as key glycolysis-related genes.Findings were validated in liver cancer cell lines and mouse tumor tissues.Results·The expression of SUZ12 in liver cancer tissues was higher than in adjacent non-tumor tissues,and its expression increased with higher tumor stage.HCC patients with high SUZ12 expression had poorer prognoses.In LM3 and Huh7 liver cancer cell lines,stable knockdown of SUZ12 reduced cell proliferation ability.In the de novo MYC/Trp53-/-mouse liver cancer model,tumor nodule number and size,and tumor burden in liver tissue were reduced after endogenous knockout of Suz12.TCGA analysis showed that high SUZ12 expression in HCC was enriched in multiple tumor proliferation-and metabolism-related pathways.The expression of SUZ12 was positively correlated with CSC markers and key genes in glycolysis pathway.The mRNA levels of CSC markers and key genes in glycolysis pathway were decreased in liver cancer cell lines with stable SUZ12 knockdown and Suz12 knockout mouse HCC tissues.Conclusion·The expression of SUZ12 is significantly increased in HCC patients and is associated with poor prognosis.Stable knockdown of SUZ12 weakens the proliferative ability of liver cancer cells.Knockout of Suz12 in mice in vivo can suppress the occurrence and development of HCC.The high expression of SUZ12 maintains the CSC pool,induces metabolic reprogramming,and promotes the occurrence and progression of HCC.SUZ12 can serve as a potential biomarker for poor prognosis and a novel target for potential therapeutic intervention in HCC.

Objective:To explore the applied effectiveness of the Skin and/or tissue,Education,Cooperation,Understanding,Report and Evaluate (SECURE) nursing pathway based on action research method in the prevention process of medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPI) of patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods:The SECURE nursing pathway based on action research method included the establishment of a skin care team to identify problems,and the formulation of conducting intervention plan,and the development of targeting nursing interventions to prevent the occurrence of MDRPI. A total of 84 patients hospitalized in the ICU of Hebei General Hospital from March 2022 to March 2023 were selected,and they were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 42 patients in each group. The control group implemented routine method to prevent MDRPI during ICU treatment,while the observation group implemented SECURE nursing pathway based on action research method to conduct prevention. The MDRPI incidence,the quality scores of ICU nursing,the scores of the Short Form Health Survey-36 (SF-36) of patients,the assessment of the improvement of MDRPI patients,and the satisfaction of patients for nursing care were compared between the two groups. Results:The MDRPI incidence during ICU treatment in the observation group was 4.76% (2/42),which was significantly lower than that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference (x2=11.052,P<0.05). The average scores for device usage,prevention assessment,positioning management and preventive nursing after nursing intervention in the observation group were respectively (88.45±2.05),(89.36±2.11),(89.25±2.15) and (91.45±2.25),all of which were significantly higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences (t=11.425,12.052,10.052,13.478,P<0.05). After nursing intervention,the average scores for physical function,social function,psychological function and material life as the SF-36 scale in the observation group were (85.47±2.05),(86.48±2.05),(88.46±2.15) and (90.25±2.44),respectively,which were respectively higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences (t=12.414,11.045,10.252,10.478,P<0.05). The occurrence time,improvement time of wound and ICU treatment time of presenting MDRPI patients in the observation group were respectively (4.05±0.54) days,(3.45±0.15) days,and (8.12±2.14) days. Compared to the control group,the occurrence time of the observation group was longer,while both the improvement time of wound and ICU treatment time of the observation group were shorter,with statistically significant differences (t=8.485,10.012,13.001,P<0.05). The satisfaction degree of nursing care of patients in the observation group was 95.24% (40/42),which was significantly higher than that in the control group (x2=12.054,P<0.05). Conclusion:The SECURE nursing pathway based on action research method,which prevents MDRPI of ICU patients,can reduce the MDRPI incidence rate of ICU patients,and enhance the work quality of nursing care for MDRPI. It is helpful to the recovery of ICU patients,which can also shorten the treatment time of ICU patients.
