The classic formula Mulisan is the 45th of the 93 formulas in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Formulas (second batch) of Han medicine published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It consists of Ostreae Concha, Astragali Radix, Ephedrae Radix et Rhizoma, and wheat, with the effect of replenishing qi and stopping sweating. It is a common formula in the clinical treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. This study analyzes the historical evolution, composition, dosage, original plants and their processing methods, decocting method, efficacy, indications, and modern clinical application of Mulisan by tracing, comparative analysis, and bibliometric methods. The results showed that Mulisan firstly appeared in the Pulse Classic written by WANG Shuhe in the Western Jin Dynasty. The formulation idea can be traced back to the Important Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold for Emergency in the Tang Dynasty. The herb composition, dosage, efficacy, and indications of Mulisan were first recorded in the Treatise on Diseases, Patterns, and formulas Related to Unification of the Three Etiologies in the Southern Song dynasty. In terms of original plants and their processing methods, Ostreae Concha is the shell of Ostrea rivularis, which should be calcined before use. Astragali Radix and Ephedrae Radix et Rhizoma are the dried roots of Astragalus membranaceus var. mongholicus and Ephedra sinica, respectively, the raw material of which should be used. Wheat is the dried mature fruit of T. aestivum, which can be used without processing, while the stir-fried fruit, being thin and deflated, demonstrates better effect. The composition of Mulisan is Ostreae Concha 8.26 g, Astragali Radix 8.26 g, Ephedrae Radix et Rhizoma 8.26 g, and wheat 7.92 g. The medicinal materials should be ground into coarse powder and decocted with 450 mL water to reach a volume of 240 mL, and the decoction should be taken warm. In modern clinical practice, Mulisan has a wide range of indications, including spontaneous sweating and night sweating caused by Yang deficiency or Qi deficiency. The clinical disease spectrum treated by Mulisan involves endocrine system diseases, neurological diseases, respiratory system diseases, and cancer. This formula plays a significant role in the treatment of internal medicine diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. This study aims to provide a scientific basis for the subsequent research, development, and clinical application of Mulisan.

Objective:
To analyze the timeliness of antir-etroviral therapy (ART) and its influencing factors among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2023, so as to provide a reference for improving the ART effect of HIV/AIDS cases.
Methods:
Newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Wenzhou City from 2016 to 2023 were selected as the research subjects. Demographic information, the situation of the first CD4+ T lymphocyte (CD4 cell) test, baseline CD4 cell count, and ART situation were collected through the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The timely rate of ART was analyzed, and the influencing factors for timely ART among HIV/AIDS cases were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 4 500 newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Wenzhou City from 2016 to 2023 were included, among which 3 679 were males, accounting for 81.76%, and 821 were females, accounting for 18.24%. The median age was 46.24 (interquartile range, 26.23) years. Among these cases, 3 606 received timely ART, with a timely rate of 80.13%. The timely rate of ART increased from 57.54% in 2016 to 91.97% in 2023 (P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that unmarried/divorced/widowed (OR=0.769, 95%CI: 0.641-0.922), detainees (OR=0.492, 95%CI: 0.269-0.900), untimely first CD4 cell test (OR=0.278, 95%CI: 0.234-0.330), baseline CD4 cell count ≥200 cells/µL (OR=0.709, 95%CI: 0.595-0.843) or undetected (OR=0.131, 95%CI: 0.080-0.213) were associated with a lower timeliness for ART among HIV/AIDS cases.
Conclusion
From 2016 to 2023, the timely rate of ART among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Wenzhou City showed an upward trend, which was mainly affected by marital status, case source, timeliness of the first CD4 cell test, and baseline CD4 cell count.

BACKGROUND:Thromboelastography plays an important role in identifying the hypercoagulable state of blood and thrombosis in humans.Recent studies have shown a correlation between an increase in mean platelet volume and thrombosis.We can therefore ask whether the combined diagnosis of thromboelastography and mean platelet volume is a more accurate predictor of thrombosis. OBJECTIVE:To predict the status of blood and the occurrence of thrombosis after total knee arthroplasty by means of mean platelet volume combined with thromboelastography. METHODS:One hundred and twenty patients who underwent unilateral total knee arthroplasty between May 2015 and March 2022 were collected.Patients were divided into 60 patients in the thrombosis group and 60 patients in the control group based on ultrasound findings on postoperative day 7.Whole blood cell and thromboelastography were performed 1 day before,1 and 7 days after surgery,respectively.Multifactorial analysis was used to investigate independent predictors of thrombosis after total knee arthroplasty.The receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve were measured in the subjects. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Mean platelet volume correlated most strongly with maximum amplitude,followed by coagulation angle.Mean platelet volume and coagulation angle on postoperative day 1 were independent predictors of thrombosis.Mean platelet volume tended to rise and then fall in patients with thrombosis.The best critical value for mean platelet volume to predict thrombosis was 10.73 fL.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of subjects was 0.665(95%CI:0.568-0.762,P<0.05];whereas the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for subjects using mean platelet volume combined with coagulation angle was 0.815(95%CI:0.750-0.879,P<0.05).In addition,the maximum amplitude,coagulation angle,coagulation index and mean platelet volume were significantly higher in the thrombosis group than in the control group postoperatively(P<0.05).The results suggest that the mean platelet volume can reflect the hypercoagulable state of blood after surgery,and the combination of mean platelet volume and coagulation angle on day 1 after total knee arthroplasty can improve the prediction of thrombosis.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies on the effects of valgus and varus angles of tibial component on short-term postoperative outcomes after mobile bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty have been reported in and outside China.However,there are few reports on the effect of the valgus and varus angles of tibial component on short-term postoperative outcomes after fixed bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of valgus and varus angles of tibial component on short-term clinical outcomes in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis undergoing fixed bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. METHODS:120 patients(122 knees)who underwent fixed bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty for medial knee osteoarthritis in Department of Orthopedic Surgery,Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from August 2020 to January 2023 were selected as the study subjects.Two physicians measured the varus angle of femoral prosthesis,valgus and varus angles of tibial prosthesis,flexion and extension angles of femoral prosthesis,and posterior inclination angle of tibial prosthesis after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty based on postoperative X-ray.After excluding the influence of the other three angles,the measurement results of the tibial component varus angle were divided into three groups:<-2°,-2° to 2°,>2°,which were denoted as groups 1,2,and 3,respectively.The range of knee motion,the hospital for special surgery knee score,the American knee society score,and forgotten joint score were recorded and compared before and after the operation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)A total of 120 patients(122 knees)were enrolled in this study.They were divided into three groups according to the size of the valgus and varus angles of the tibial prosthesis after operation:37 patients in the first group,60 patients in the second group,and 23 patients in the third group.There was no significant difference between the three groups in terms of baseline information such as age,gender,and side of surgery(P>0.05).(2)Patients were followed up for 3-30 months after arthroplasty.(3)The hospital for special surgery knee score of the second group was higher than that of the first group(P=0.015)and the third group(P=0.012).The American knee society score of the second group was significantly higher than that of the first group(P=0.014)and the third group(P<0.001).The forgotten joint score of the second group was higher than that of the first group(P=0.033)and the third group(P=0.016).(4)After fixed bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty,when the valgus angle of tibial prosthesis was-2° to 2°,which can achieve better short-term clinical results,the degree of prosthesis self-realization is higher.

Objective To explore the effects of Rhodiola rosea injection on pulmonary shunt and serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels during single lung ventilation in patients undergoing radical resection of esophageal cancer. Methods Forty-six patients undergoing radical operation for esophageal cancer were randomized equally into control group and Rhodiola rosea injection group. In the Rhodiola group, 10 mL of Rhodiola rosea injection was added into 250 mL of normal saline or 5% glucose solution for slow intravenous infusion, and normal saline of the same volume was used in the control group after the patients entered the operation room. At T0, T1 and T3, PaO2 of the patient was recorded and 2 mL of deep venous blood was collected for determination of serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels. The incidence of postoperative atelectasis of the patients was recorded. Results Compared with those in the control group, the patients receiving Rhodiola rosea injection had significantly higher PaO2 and Qs/Qt at T1 and T2 (P<0.05) and lower serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels at T3 (P<0.05). No significant difference in the incidence of postoperative atelectasis was observed between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Rhodiola rosea injection before anesthesia induction can reduce intrapulmonary shunt during single lung ventilation, improve oxygenation, reduce serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels, and alleviate intraoperative lung injury in patients undergoing radical resection of esophageal cancer.
