Based on the thinking of programmatization and proceduralization, this study integrated traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) classic theories with modern knowledge expression technologies to construct a "formula-symptom" syndrome differentiation thinking model centered on "symptom clustering-main syndrome screening-formula adaptation", and explored the standardization and intelligentization path of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. By establishing the mapping relationship model between formulas and syndromes including quantitative weight analysis of chief, deputy, assistant and envoy medicines, designing the logical hierarchical structure of formula-syndrome decision tree (application of three-level decision tree and fuzzy logic), and formulating the procedural design of four diagnostic methods (structured collection, correlation model, and dynamic correction mechanism), the standardization and visualization of the syndrome differentiation process are realized. This model can be transformed into the core data set for artificial intelligence training. Through ternary knowledge graph and machine learning algorithms, it can improve the repeatability of syndrome differentiation and the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment, and implement the strategy of "group model + individual modification" to balance the conflict between quantification and individualization. The core value of this model lies in promoting the objectification and precision development of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment through the integration of traditional syndrome differentiation thinking and modern system science.

YOU Zaijing,a doctor of Wumen region,and a famous expert of Treatise on Pathogenic Diseases, also made great achievements in warm diseases. He cleared the source of cold pathogenic diseases and warm diseases, distinguish the difference between them. He put forward the importance of correcting and understanding the disease nomenclature. He explained the names of warm diseases,wind-warm disonder, pestilence,damp-warm disease,warm toxin and warm malaria.He divided warm diseases into newly acquired warm disease, warm disease caused by incubating pathogens, warm disease mixed with dampness and pestilence.He used pungent and cool natured drugs and the method of regulating lung to treat wind warm diseases.In the treatment of warm toxin, he used the method of venting pathogen with cool-scattered natured drugs. In the treatment of warm disease caused by incubating pathogens,he used the method of clearing away heat, nourishing yin and venting pathogen. In the treatment of dampness-warm disease, he used the method of eliminating dampness and heat separately. In the treatment of pestilence, he took the location of disease as the core.According to the different disease locations of the pestilence, different treatment methods and prescriptions were selected.He listed five methods of treating pestilence and established a theoretical framework for the treatment of pestilence,embodying the thought of guiding the trend along the development.He put forward the theory of Six Channels directing Cold and Warm early.He tried to use the syndrome differentiation of six channels system to direct all exogenous diseases such as cold pathogenic diseases and warm diseases. He was the pioneer advocator of the cold-warm combined theory. His views on warm diseases had a profound impact on later doctors. This paper summarizes his main points, analyzes his theory, and provides inspiration for the diagnosis and treatment of warm diseases.

[Objective] To establish a real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR nucleic acid detection method of human parvovirus B19 and validate the method systematically. [Methods] Specific primers and probes for the highly conserved regions of the three genotypes of B19 virus were designed, and B19 quantitative amplification standard curves were established. The accuracy, precision (repeatability and intermediate precision), linear range, quantification limit, detection limit, specificity, anti cross contamination, genotyping and anti-interference ability of this method were verified. [Results] When the quantitative reference range for B19 virus was 2.0×101 to 1.0×108 IU/mL, a double logarithmic regression analysis was performed between the measured values and the theoretical values, and the regression equation R2≥0.98 showed good linear correlation. The quantification limit was 20 IU/mL, with a detection rate of 100%. The detection limit was 10 IU/mL, and the detection rate is 95.23%. Three genotypes of B19 virus samples can be effectively detected. The plasma of seven non B19 pathogens, including hepatitis A virus, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, human immuno-deficiency virus, human cytomegalovirus, hepatitis E virus and Treponema pallidum, was non reactive and has good species specificity. Simultaneously, in the presence of seven other concurrent pathogens, positive samples with a weak positive concentration of E3 IU/mL could be stably detected, and the B19 nucleic acid testing method was not interfered with. When the hemoglobin concentration was 431 mg/dL, triglycerides (1 269 turbidity) and unconjugated bilirubin concentration was 20 mg/dL, this method was non reactive for all three common plasma interfering substances. In the presence of three common plasma interfering substances, positive samples with a weak positive concentration of E3 IU/mL could be stably detected, and the B19 nucleic acid testing method was not interfered with. The deviation between the detection values of standard substances at two concentration levels of S1 (E5 IU/mL) and S2 (E4 IU/mL) and the target values were≤±0.5 log value. The CV values of positive sample 1 (concentration level E5 IU/mL) and positive sample 2 (concentration level E4 IU/mL) for daily precision confirmation and continuous 5-day intra-day precision confirmation were both≤5%. [Conclusion] This method has strong specificity, high sensitivity, wide linear range, stability, reliability and high accuracy, and can be used for the detection of human parvovirus B19 nucleic acid in plasma.

Objective:To investigate epidemiological and clinical characteristics of botulism, and the adverse events among those received botulinum antitoxin treatment.Methods:Patients with discharge diagnosis as botulism in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University were enrolled between 2017 and 2021. The epidemiological and clinical characteristics were evaluated. Infection and mechanical ventilation as in-hospital outcomes according to baseline characteristics were analyzed. Patients with and without the interested outcomes were compared. The adverse outcomes among those received botulinum antitoxin treatment were investigated. Those with and without the adverse outcomes were also compared.Results:Sixty-seven cases of botulism were enrolled, and most cases got sick between January and March (32/67, 47.8%); among them 62 cases were Han ethnicity (92.5%); prevalence was highest in Aksu region (15/67, 22.4%); commonly seen symptoms and signs included fatigue (58/67, 86.6%), dysphagia (48/67, 71.6%), dizziness (42/67, 62.7%), ptosis (42/67, 62.7%), blurred vision (41/67, 61.2%), and limb weakness (35/67, 52.2%). Compared with patients without in-hospital infection ( n=52), patients with in-hospital infection ( n=15) were more likely to have severe botulism (0/52 vs 5/15, χ 2=19.79, P<0.001), diplopia (16/52, 30.8% vs 11/15, χ 2=8.77, P=0.003), dysarthria (17/52, 32.7% vs 11/15, χ 2=7.91, P=0.005), consciousness disorder (1/52, 1.9% vs 4/15, χ 2=10.32, P=0.008). Compared with patients without mechanical ventilation (62/67, 92.5%), patients with mechanical ventilation (5/67, 7.5%) were more likely to have severe botulism (5/5 vs 0/62, χ 2=41.17, P<0.001), and consciousness disorder (4/5 vs 1/62, 1.6%, χ 2=29.58, P<0.001). Among 67 cases of botulism, 19 cases (28.4%) had adverse events after receiving antitoxin treatment, with an average of 6.5 days from the antitoxin treatment beginning to the adverse event onset; among the 19 cases, 18 cases (94.7%) had rash. Age, sex, and severity did not differ between the groups with ( n=19) and without adverse events ( n=48) after receiving antitoxin treatment. Conclusions:Fatigue, dysphagia, dizziness, ptosis were the most frequent symptoms and signs in the botulism in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. Infection was a commonly seen complication of botulism, and proactive prevention and close monitoring were needed. Adverse events after receiving antitoxin were prevalent, and might not be associated with age, sex, and severity of botulism.
