Sangjuyin， as a pungent and cooling agent with precise therapeutic effect， is a classic pungent formula for cooling relief of the epidermis， which is highly respected by medical practitioners. This formula is from the Wenbing Tiaobian written by WU Jutong in the Qing dynasty， on the basis of which subsequent medical practitioners have made additions and subtractions to apply it. The authors used the bibliometric method to systematically organize the medical books from the Qing dynasty and the Republic of China and modern literature to analyze the composition， concoction， decoction， efficacy， and previous and modern application of Sangjuyin. After examination， the drug base of this formula is basically clear. Armeniacae Semen Amarum is the dried mature seeds of Armeniaca vulgaris， family Rosaceae. Forsythiae Fructus is the dried fruit of Forsythia suspensa， family Mulleinaceae. Menthae Haplocalycis Herba is the dried above-ground part of Mentha haplocalyx， family Labiatae. Mori Folium is the dried leaves of Morus alba， family Moraceae. Chrysanthemi Flos is the dried head of Chrysanthemum morifolium， family Asteraceae. Platycodonis Radix is the dried root of Eryngium grandiflorum， family Eryngium. Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is the dried root and rhizome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis of the Leguminosae family， and Phragmitis Rhizoma is the fresh or dried rhizome of Phragmites communis of the Gramineae family. It is recommended that the eight drugs be used in raw form as medicine. The dosage and method of decoction were converted into a modern single dosage of 7.46 g Armeniacae Semen Amarum， 5.60 g Forsythiae Fructus， 2.98 g Menthae Haplocalycis Herba， 9.33 g Mori Folium， 3.73 g Chrysanthemi Flos， 7.46 g Platycodonis Radix， 2.98 g Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， and 11.19 g Phragmitis Rhizoma， with 400 mL water added， and the solution was boiled to obtain 200 mL， taken twice a day. Sangjuyin has the efficacy of dispersing wind and clearing heat， promoting lung and relieving cough， and it is used for treating the initial onset of wind-warmth and the evidence of evil spirits in the lungs and collaterals. Modern research has shown that Sangjuyin is often used in the treatment of cough， pneumonia， rhinitis， and other respiratory diseases， and the results of this study provide a reference for the later development of Sangjuyin.

The prevention and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD） pose a major global challenge， with difficulties in effectively integrating holistic regulation and precise micro-intervention. The traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） theory of state-target pattern differentiation and treatment advocates the combination of state regulation and target intervention， offering a new paradigm for integrated TCM and Western medicine. This article systematically reviews the theoretical connotations of this theory and constructs a dynamic correspondence framework linking TCM pattern states， signaling pathways， and targeted interventions across different stages of COPD. At the acute exacerbation stage， the phlegm-heat obstructing the lung state is characterized by hyperactivation of the nuclear factor （NF）-κB/NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） inflammation pathway， and formulas for clearing heat and resolving phlegm suppress the cytokine storm through multi-component synergy. At the stable stage， the lung-spleen Qi deficiency state is characterized by functional decompensation of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 （Keap1） antioxidative stress pathway， and therapies for tonifying the lung and spleen repair the essence of Qi deficiency through antioxidative defense and energy metabolism. At the severe/very severe stable stage， the lung-kidney deficiency state is pathologically based on dysregulation of the transforming growth factor （TGF）-β/Wnt repair network and depletion of stem/progenitor cells， and therapies for tonifying the kidney and reinforcing Qi absorption achieve simultaneous regulation of deficiency and stasis by inhibiting aberrant fibrosis and guiding ordered regeneration. These three pathways are not isolated but exhibit dynamic shifts in dominance and cross-talk， constituting the molecular network basis of deficiency causing excess and intermingled deficiency and excess. Furthermore， this article points out the current shortcomings in quantitative evidence， objective syndrome standardization， and coverage of syndrome states， and proposes future directions including building multi-omics databases， conducting biomarker-stratified randomized controlled trials， and developing disease-pattern combined animal models， aiming to provide a theoretical perspective that integrates holism and micro-targeting for precision prevention and treatment of COPD.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and safety of 3D-printing-assisted anterolateral thigh perforator flap surgery for the treatment of complex soft tissue defects around the ankle joint.Methods:A total of 160 patients with skin and soft tissue defects around the ankle joint at the First People′s Hospital of Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, from March 2020 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into a control group and an observation group according to the surgical approach, with 80 patients in each group. The control group underwent traditional anterolateral thigh perforator flap surgery, which included 43 males and 37 females, with an age of 21-62 (34.7±5.6) years. The observation group underwent 3D-printing-assisted anterolateral thigh perforator flap surgery, which included 45 males and 35 females, with an age of 20-66 (34.8±5.6) years. The operative time, flap healing time, and hospital stay duration were compared between the two groups. Serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) were compared between the two groups before surgery and 3 days postoperatively. The ankle joint function was evaluated using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scoring system, the range of motion (ROM) was assessed using the ROM score, and the flap sensation was evaluated using the modified Highet grading system before surgery, 6 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up. The incidence of adverse reactions such as arterial crisis, venous crisis, infection, and necrosis during the perioperative period was observed. Patient satisfaction was assessed 6 months after treatment.Results:All patients in both groups successfully completed the surgery, with no cases excluded. The operative time, flap healing time, and hospital stay duration were significantly shorter in the observation group than those in the control group (all P<0.001). Compared with preoperative levels, the levels of IL-6, IL-8, CRP, and TNF-α were significantly reduced in both groups 3 days postoperatively (all P<0.001), and these levels were significantly lower in the observation group than those in the control group at 3 days postoperatively (all P<0.001). Six months postoperatively and at the last follow-up, the AOFAS and ROM scores were significantly higher in the observation group than those in the control group (all P<0.05), and the flap sensation grading was significantly better in the observation group than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions was 7.5% (6/80) in the observation group, which was significantly lower than 18.8% (15/80) in the control group ( P=0.024). The patient satisfaction rate was 95.0% (76/80) in the observation group, which was significantly higher than 72.5% (58/80) in the control group ( P<0.001). Conclusion:3D-printing-assisted anterolateral thigh perforator flap repair for skin and soft tissue defects around the ankle joint can improve perioperative indicators, reduce the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions, promote the recovery of flap sensation and ankle function, attenuate the inflammatory response of the body, and enhance patient satisfaction.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to systematically collect and organize ancient and modern clauses and studies containing Xieqingwan， excavate and analyze the key information of Xieqingwan， and provide a reference for facilitating the development of the classic formula Xieqingwan. MethodsThe composition， dosage， decocting methods， usage， and other key information of Xieqingwan in ancient traditional Chinese medicine books were collected and analyzed by means of literature research and metrological methods. The modern clinical application of Xieqingwan was summarized. ResultsA total of 42 pieces of effective data involving 32 ancient traditional Chinese medicine books were collected. Xieqingwan was first recorded in Xiaoer Yaozheng Zhijue. The drug origin of this formula is basically clear in the ancient traditional Chinese medicine books. The modern drug usage and decocting method were as follows： Angelicae Sinensis Radix， Gentianae Radix et Rhizoma， Chuanxiong Rhizoma， Gardenia seeds， Radix et Rhizoma Rhei， Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix， and Saposhnikoviae Radix were grounded to fine powder， decocted with honey， and finally formed into pills with the size of a chicken head （1.5 g）. It was suggested that half a pill or one pill were taken for one dose with warm Lophatheri decoction and sugar. The indications and clinical application had developed from the recordings in Xiaoer Yaozheng Zhijue and evolved from pediatrics to ophthalmic otolaryngology， neurology， dermatology， digestion， and respiratory diseases. The main pathogenesis of these diseases is heat in the liver meridian and is treated. The effect of Xieqingwan is "clearing away heat and toxicity， removing fire and relaxing the bowels， and dispersing swelling and relieving pain". It is recommended to use the corresponding preparation methods in the 2020 Edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. Modern clinical studies are centered around the clinical application of Xieqingwan， which is often modified and used in treating Tourette syndrome， herpes， febrile convulsion， sleepwalking， and insomnia. ConclusionThis paper conducts a thorough textual research of the key information of Xieqingwan， induces its historic evolution， and confirms its key information， so as to provide a reference for the future development of Xieqingwan.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of subclinical tuberculosis in infertile women.Methods:A total of 2 129 infertile women screened for active tuberculosis were collected from January 2019 to January 2024 at Department of Gynecology and Pediatrics Tuberculosis in Xi'an Chest Hospital due to latent tuberculosis infection, and the clinical data of subclinical tuberculosis cases were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The study identified 69 cases [3.2% (69/2 129)] of subclinical tuberculosis among these women. The age at diagnosis was (31.16±4.68) years, with an infertility duration of (3.81±2.58) years. About 94.2% (65/69) of these women had primary infertility. Some patients had adverse reproductive histories, including ectopic pregnancies, repeated assisted reproduction failures, missed miscarriages, and threatened miscarriages. Chest CT scans typically revealed fibrous cord-like consolidations, nodules and calcified nodules, pleural adhesions or minimal pleural effusions, calcification of hilar or mediastinal lymph nodes, and speckled combined with linear proliferative lesions. Hysteroscopic findings included chronic endometritis, endometrial polyps, and intrauterine adhesions. Hysterosalpingography frequently showed bilateral tubal occlusions, stenosis, and hydrosalpinx. Molecular biological assays indicated a lower bacillary load in most cases.Conclusion:The clinical presentation of subclinical tuberculosis in infertile women is often atypical, with pulmonary lesions on chest CT being subtle and indicative of chronic conditions, which are frequently overlooked.

Objective:To study the current status of longitudinal extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) in extremely preterm infants (EPIs) and to develop a prediction model based on clinical data from multiple NICUs.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2018, EPIs admitted to 32 NICUs in North China were retrospectively studied. Their general conditions, nutritional support, complications during hospitalization and weight changes were reviewed. Weight loss between birth and discharge > 1SD was defined as longitudinal EUGR. The EPIs were assigned into longitudinal EUGR group and non-EUGR group and their nutritional support and weight changes were compared. The EPIs were randomly assigned into the training dataset and the validation dataset with a ratio of 7∶3. Univariate Cox regression analysis and multiple regression analysis were used in the training dataset to select the independent predictive factors. The best-fitting Nomogram model predicting longitudinal EUGR was established based on Akaike Information Criterion. The model was evaluated for discrimination efficacy, calibration and clinical decision curve analysis.Results:A total of 436 EPIs were included in this study, with a mean gestational age of (26.9±0.9) weeks and a birth weight of (989±171) g. The incidence of longitudinal EUGR was 82.3%(359/436). Seven variables (birth weight Z-score, weight loss, weight growth velocity, the proportion of breast milk ≥75% within 3 d before discharge, invasive mechanical ventilation ≥7 d, maternal antenatal corticosteroids use and bronchopulmonary dysplasia) were selected to establish the prediction model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the training dataset and the validation dataset were 0.870 (95% CI 0.820-0.920) and 0.879 (95% CI 0.815-0.942), suggesting good discrimination efficacy. The calibration curve indicated a good fit of the model ( P>0.05). The decision curve analysis showed positive net benefits at all thresholds. Conclusions:Currently, EPIs have a high incidence of longitudinal EUGR. The prediction model is helpful for early identification and intervention for EPIs with higher risks of longitudinal EUGR. It is necessary to expand the sample size and conduct prospective studies to optimize and validate the prediction model in the future.

Objective To explore the effect of ropivacaine combined with dexmedetomidine in transversus abdominis plane block(TAPB)on postoperative stress hormones and cognitive function in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.Methods A total of 80 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from April to October 2023 were selected as the research subjects.According to different anesthesia methods,the patients were divided into the observation group and the control group,with 40 patients in each group.Patients in the observation group were injected bilaterally with 2.5 g·L-1 ropivacaine and 0.5 μg·kg-1 dexmedetomidine for TAPB,with 20 mL injection on each side.Patients in the control group were injected bilaterally with 2.5 g·L-1 ropivacaine for TAPB,with 20 mL injection on each side.Mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)were recorded at the time of admission to the operating room(T1),immediately after endotracheal intubation(T2),40 minutes after pneumoperitoneum(T3),and 15 minutes after extubation(T4).Radioimmunoprecipitation was used to detect serum cortisol(COR)level,and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure serum norepinephrine(NE)and epinephrine(E)levels at 1,6,12,and 24 hours after surgery.Visual analog scale(VAS)was used to assess pain at rest,and Ramsay sedation scale(RSS)was used to evaluate sedation depth.The doses of propofol and sufentanil were compared between the two groups.Serum β-amyloid(Aβ)and S100β protein levels at 1 day before surgery,1 and 3 days after surgery were detected by using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and cognitive function was assessed at the same time points by using the mini-mental state examination(MMSE).Results At T,and T2,there was no significant difference in MAP and HR between the control group and the observation group(P＞0.05).At T3 and T4,MAP and HR in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).At 1,6,and 12 hours postoperatively,VAS score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).At 24 hours postoperatively,there was no significant difference in VAS score between the control group and observation group(P＞0.05).At 1 and 6 hours postoperatively,RSS score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).At 12 and 24 hours postoperatively,there was no significant difference in RSS score between the control group and observation group(P＞0.05).At 1,6,and 12 hours postoperatively,COR,NE,and E levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).At 24 hours postoperatively,there was no significant difference in COR,NE,and E levels between the control group and observation group(P＞0.05).The doses of propofol and sufentanil in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).One day before surgery,there was no significant difference in MMSE score between the control group and observation group(P＞0.05).At 1 and 3 days postoperatively,MMSE score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).One day before surgery,there was no significant difference in serum Aβ and S100β protein levels between the control group and observation group(P＞0.05).At 1 and 3 days postoperatively,serum Aβ and S100β protein levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Ropivacaine combined with dexmedetomidine in TAPB in radical gastrectomy can significantly reduce postoperative pain,increase sedative effect,prolong the duration of TAPB,and benefit patients'postoperative recovery with reduced cognitive impairment.

Objective:To explore the anxiety level, influencing factors among surrogate decision-makers of patients with acute ischemic stroke during thrombolysis decision-making, and their correlation with decision-making duration.Methods:Acute ischemic stroke patients and their surrogate decision-makers who visited the Emergency Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the research subjects.Sociodemographic data and disease related data of patients and surrogate decision-makers were collected.Surrogate decision-makers were evaluated with the state-trait anxiety inventory, decision participation expectation scale, Wake Forest physician trust scale, and perceived social support scale.SPSS 26.0 software was used for data processing.Pearson correlation analysis, Spearman correlation analysis and ridge regression analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results:The score of state anxiety of decision-makers was (49.47±9.04), and 18.2% (70/383) of decision-makers had a decision duration exceeding 15 minutes.The score of state anxiety of decision-makers was positively correlated with decision duration ( r=0.189, P<0.001). The influencing factors of state anxiety level of decision-makers included sociodemographic factors (age of decision-makers and patients, relationship between payers and patients, whether decision-makers bear the current medical expenses, type of medical insurance for patients), psychological factors (trust level in physicians, perceived social support), factors related to patient disease (numbers of stroke relapses, National Institutes of Health stroke scale scores for patients), characteristics of the decision-making process (whether patients participate in the decision-making process, and the role of decision-makers in the decision-making process) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Most surrogate decision-makers experience anxiety.Medical staff should pay attention to the emotions of decision-makers and adopt appropriate communication skills when communicating with informed consent for thrombolysis, alleviate the anxiety of surrogate decision-makers, so as so reduce the decision-making duration.
