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.

Through data collection and collation combined with bibliometrics， this study conducted a series of textual research on Yanghetang， such as the name and origin， the evolution of prescription composition and modern clinical application. Yanghetang was first recorded in Bencao Yidu of WANG Ang in the Qing dynasty. In addition to Yanghetang， there were 3 bynames of Jiawei Yanghetang， Quanshengji Yanghetang and Zhenjun Yanghetang. Regarding the composition of the formula， a total of 4 versions of Yanghetang were collected. The first version is the 5 medicines version of Cervi Cornus Colla， Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata， Cinnamomi Cortex， Zingiberis Rhizoma and Ephedrae Herba in Bencao Yidu. The second version is the 7 medicines version of Waike Zhengzhi Quanshengji， changing Zingiberis Rhizoma to Zingiberis Rhizoma Praeparatum Carbonisata（ZRPC） and adding Sinapis Semen and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma（GRR） on the basis of Bencao Yidu， and most of the Yanghetang is of this version. The third version is the 6 medicines version of Wushi Yifang Huibian， that is， on the basis of Bencao Yidu， Zingiberis Rhizoma is changed into ZRPC， and Sinapis Semen is added. The fourth version is the 6 medicines version in Yifang Jiedu， that is， on the basis of Bencao Yidu， Zingiberis Rhizoma is changed into Zingiberis Rhizoma Praeparatum， and GRR Praeparata cum Melle is added. Regarding the dose of Yanghetang， the doses of the medicines in Waike Zhengzhi Quanshengji was converted into the modern doses as follows：37.3 g of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata， 1.87 g of Ephedrae Herba， 11.19 g of Cervi Cornus Colla， 7.46 g of Sinapis Semen， 3.73 g of Cinnamomi Cortex， 3.73 g of GRR， and 1.87 g of ZRPC. The origins of the above medicines are consistent with the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The processing specification of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata is steaming method， ZRPC is ginger charcoal， Sinapis Semen is the fried products， and the rest of the medicines are raw products. The decoction method was verified by the decoction method in Chonglou Yuyao， which is similar in the time， and it is recommended that the above medicines should be added with 600 mL of water， decocted to 100 mL， and taken warmly 30 min after meal. For each dose， it is recommended to use 1-3 doses per day according to the doctor's advice in combination with clinical practice. The diseases involved in the ancient applications involved 42 diseases in 11 departments， including orthopedics， dermatology and gynecology， which were dominated by Yin-cold syndrome. However， the diseases involved in modern research also include 148 related diseases in 10 departments， such as orthopedics， obstetrics and gynecology， which is consistent with the ancient books. In recent years， the research hotspots of Yanghetang have focused on more than 10 fields， including osteoblasts， malignant tumors， wound healing， traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and so on， which are widely used. It is suitable for comprehensive research and development because of its rational formula composition， clear origin， processing and decoction method， and wide clinical application.

In this study， bibliometric methods were used to systematically investigate the name and origin， the evolution of prescription composition， dose evolution， origin and processing method， decoction method， ancient application， modified application， modern application and other information of Huoxiang Zhengqisan. After research， Huoxiang Zhengqisan， also known as Huoxiang Zhengqitang， was first recorded in Taiping Huimin Hejijufang. The original formula is composed of 41.3 g of Arecae Pericarpium， 41.3 g of Angelicae Dahuricae Radix， 41.3 g of Perilla frutescens（actually Perillae Folium）， 41.3 g of Poria， 82.6 g of Pinelliae Rhizoma， 82.6 g of Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma， 82.6 g of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium（actually Citri Exocarpium Rubbum）， 82.6 g of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex， 82.6 g of Platycodonis Radix， 123.9 g of Pogostemonis Herba， and 103.25 g of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. In this formula， Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex is processed according to the specifications for ginger-processed products， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is processed according to the specifications for stir-fried products， and other herbs are used in their raw products. The botanical sources of the herbs are consistent with the 2020 edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. The above herbs are ground into a fine powder with a particle size passing through a No. 5 sieve. For each dose， take 8.26 g of the powdered formula， add 300 mL of water， along with 3 g of Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens and 3 g of Jujubae Fructus， and decoct until reduced to 140 mL. The decoction should be administered hot， with three times daily. To induce sweating， the patient should be kept warm under a quilt， and an additional dose should be prepared and taken if needed. This formula is traditionally used to relieve the exterior and resolve dampness， regulate Qi and harmonize the middle， which is mainly used to treat a series of diseases of digestive and respiratory systems. However， potential adverse reactions， including allergies， purpura and disulfiram-like reactions， should be considered during clinical use. Huoxiang Zhengqisan features a rational composition， extensive clinical application， and strong potential for further research and development.

OBJECTIVE To resolve account discrepancies caused by drug price adjustment in medical institution pharmacy management and reduce the time required for price adjustment. METHODS The problems existing in the drug price adjustment models of domestic medical institutions were investigated， and a drug price adjustment system was developed based on price- invoice synchronization mechanism. The system optimized the drug price adjustment process through batch number matching and real-time monitoring functionalities. The account consistency rate and price adjustment time were evaluated before and after system implementation. RESULTS A drug price adjustment system was successfully developed， featuring an innovative “synchronized entry and exit” mode， batch number matching， real-time monitoring， intelligent automation， and electronic traceability. After implementation， the account consistency rate for Western medicines increased from 86.89% （86.66%， 89.63%） to 100% （100%， 100%） （P＝0.005）， while Chinese patent medicines and herbal medicines maintained a 100% （100%， 100%） account consistency rate. Concurrently， the drug price adjustment time significantly decreased from 6.00 （5.00， 7.00）d to 2.50 （1.50， 3.00） d （P＜ 0.001）. CONCLUSIONS The developed system significantly improves account consistency， shortens price adjustment time， and demonstrates notable innovation and practical utility.

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.

Objective To identify potential quality risks of Xiaoer Huatan Zhike Granules(Pediatric Phlegm-Resolving and Cough-Relieving Granules)through National Drug Sampling and Inspection,evaluate their overall quality,and propose improvements to the quality standards.Methods Samples from 34 manufacturers were tested using official standards.Exploratory methods were developed to enhance risk analysis,including thin-layer chromatography(TLC)identification,content uniformity testing,quantitative assays,and screening for unauthorized additives(e.g.,colorants).Results All batches met the official standards(100.0%compliance rate).However,deficiencies were observed:most manufacturers lacked controls for ephedrine hydrochloride content uniformity and quantification,omitted key ingredient identifications(e.g.,herbal components),and exhibited insufficient TLC specificity(e.g.,TLC of Ipecac tincture showed only one spot instead of multiple alkaloid-specific spots).Exploratory studies revealed risks in total emetine/cephaeline content,morroniside A/platycodin D content,ephedrine hydrochloride uniformity,and unauthorized colorant addition.Conclusions The overall quality of this variety is good,but the enterprise should improve the quality control measures throughout the entire process and establish stricter internal control standards;The official standards,unchanged for approximately 30 years,fail to address current regulatory requirements.The statutory quality standards need to be revised and improved.Qualitative or quantitative indicators for all drug flavors in the prescription should be added,and the content uniformity inspection of ephedrine hydrochloride should be increased.

Objective:To compare and analyze the similarities and differences in clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, pathological characteristics, and prognosis between urticarial vasculitis (UV) and chronic spontaneous urticaria with pigmentation (CSUwp) .Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data and follow-up results from 35 UV patients and 54 CSUwp patients who attended the Department of Dermatology, Southwest Hospital, Army Medical University from 2014 to 2024. The clinical characteristics (duration of rash, pigmentation, petechiae and ecchymosis, itching, burning sensation, fever, fatigue, skin lesion characteristics, etc.) , laboratory test results, pathological features, and prognosis were compared between the two groups. Statistical analysis was carried out by t test, chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Results:There were no significant differences in gender, age, or age of onset between the UV group and CSUwp group (all P < 0.05) . The proportions of patients with petechiae/purpura (68.57% [24/35] vs. 11.11% [6/54]) , and those with burning sensation (22.86% [8/35] vs. 3.70% [2/54]) were significantly higher in the UV group than in the CSUwp group (both P < 0.05) . Compared with the CSUwp patients, the UV patients presented with a greater number of lesions, larger lesion areas, and more frequent involvement of the lower limbs (all P < 0.05) , also showed significantly higher incidence rates of peripheral blood complement reduction, perivascular neutrophil infiltration, nuclear dust, fibrinoid necrosis of the vessel wall, and erythrocyte extravasation (all P < 0.05) , as well as more extensive dermal perivascular inflammation ( Z = -4.506, P < 0.001) . Among patients who achieved remission, the natural disease course was significantly longer in the CSUwp patients than in the UV patients (6.00 [2.5, 24] months vs. 2.00 [0.5, 24] months; Z = -2.618, P = 0.009]. However, the survival analysis showed no significant difference in the natural disease course or clinical outcomes between the two groups ( χ2 = 2.771, P = 0.096) . There were also no significant differences in rash duration or in the incidence rates of itching, angioedema, or joint pain between the two groups (all P > 0.05) . Conclusions:UV patients exhibited certain differences from CSUwp patients in clinical characteristics, laboratory test results, histopathological features, and prognosis. However, whether their natural disease courses differ requires further follow-up studies to confirm.

Objective To explore the effects of apolipoprotein E gene(ApoE)polymorphism on cerebral oxygen metabolism and postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing laparoscopic general anesthesia surgery.Methods In this study,210 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our hospital from January 2020 to January 2024 were selected and di-vided into ApoE ε2 group(45 cases,ε2/ε2,ε2/ε3),ApoE ε3 group(98 cases,ε3/ε3),and ApoE ε4 group(67 cases,ε3/ε4,ε4/ε4)based on their ApoE genotype.The general information,blood lipid levels,and cerebral oxygen metabolism index levels of each group were compared.Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between ApoE gene poly-morphism,blood lipid levels,and cerebral oxygen metabolism indicators,and to analyze the correlation between blood lipid levels and oxygen metabolism indicators under different genotypes.Patients were divided into cognitive impairment group(n=54)and non-cognitive impairment group(n=156)based on whether they experienced cognitive impairment after surgery.General infor-mation,blood lipid levels,and cerebral oxygen metabolism indicators were compared between the two groups.Multivariate logis-tic regression analysis was conducted to identify the influencing factors of cognitive dysfunction.Restrictive cubic spline method was used to analyze the dose-response relationship between blood lipid levels,cerebral oxygen metabolism indicators,and cogni-tive impairment.The adjusted odds ratio(OR)and 95％confidence interval(CI)of ApoE gene polymorphism and cerebral oxygen metabolism indicators to the risk of cognitive impairment were estimated,and the interaction between ApoE gene polymorphism and cerebral oxygen metabolism indicators on cognitive impairment was analyzed.Results Among 210 patients undergoing lap-aroscopic general anesthesia surgery,the frequency of the ε3 allele was the highest,accounting for 71.67％,while the ε2 and ε4 alleles accounted for 11.90％and 16.43％,respectively.The highest proportion of the ε3/ε3 genotype was 46.67％(98/210),while the others were ε3/ε4(65/210),ε2/ε3(40/210),ε2/ε2(5/210),and ε4/ε4(2/210)in descending order.The total cholester-ol(TC),triglycerides(TG),and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)of ApoE ε4 group patients were higher than those of ApoE ε2 group and ApoE ε3 group patients,while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)was lower than that of ApoE ε2 group and ApoE ε3 group patients,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The difference in radial artery and internal jugular vein bulb oxygen content(DajvO2)in ApoE ε4 group patients was higher than that in ApoE ε2 group and ApoE ε3 group.The cerebral oxygen uptake rate(COER),internal jugular vein bulb oxygen content(CjvO2),and internal jugu-lar vein bulb oxygen saturation(SjvO2)were lower than those in ApoE ε2 group and ApoE ε3 group patients,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The TC,TG,LDL-C,HDL-C,COER,DajvO2,CjvO2,and SjvO2 levels were not cor-related with ApoE ε2 and ApoE ε3 types,but were correlated with ApoE ε4 type.The TC,TG,LDL-C,DajvO2 levels were posi-tively correlated with ApoE ε4 type,while HDL-C,COER,CjvO2,SjvO2 were negatively correlated with ApoE ε4 type(all P＜0.05).Under different genotypes,TC,TG,LDL-C were positively correlated with COER,CjvO2,and SjvO2(all P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with DajvO2(P＜0.05).HDL-C was negatively correlated with COER,CjvO2,and SjvO2(all P＜0.05),and positively correlated with DajvO2(P＜0.05).The differences in ApoE gene polymorphism,TC,TG,LDL-C,HDL,COER,DajvO2,CjvO2,and SjvO2 between patients with cognitive impairment and those without cognitive impairment were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high TC,high TG,and ApoE ε4 genotypes were independent risk factors for cognitive dysfunction(all P＜0.05),while high COER and high SjvO2 were independent protective factors for cognitive dysfunction.The association intensity between TC,TG,LDL-C,HDL,COER,DajvO2,CjvO2,and SjvO2 and cognitive impairment showed a nonlinear dose-response relationship(P＜0.05).TC,TG,LDL-C,DajvO2 were positively correlated with the risk of cognitive impairment,while HDL-C,COER,CjvO2,and SjvO2 were negatively correlated with the risk of cognitive impairment.The interaction analysis of the generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction model showed that ApoE ε4 had interactions with COER,DajvO2,CjvO2,and SjvO2.Conclusion The polymorphism of ApoE gene is associated with cerebral oxygen metabolism in patients undergoing laparoscopic general anesthesia surgery.Among them,patients with ApoE ε4 genotype have a higher risk of cognitive dysfunction after surgery than those with ApoE ε2 and ApoE ε3 genotypes.Clinically,patients with ApoE ε4 genotype should strengthen intraoperative cerebral oxygen monitoring and achieve more accurate individualized anesthesia management based on their genotype.

Immunotherapy has been widely used in cancer treatment in recent years and functions by stimulating the immune system to kill tumor cells. Radiation therapy (RT) uses radiation to induce DNA damage and kill tumor cells. However, this activates the body's immune system, promoting the release of tumor-related antigens from inactive dendritic cells, which stimulates the recurrence and metastasis of tumors in immune system tissues. The combination of RT and immunotherapy has been increasingly evaluated in recent years, with studies confirming the synergistic effect of the two antitumor therapies. Particularly, the combination of RT by dose adjustment with different immunotherapies has positive implications on antitumor immunity as well as disease prognosis compared with respective monotherapies. This review summarizes the current research status, progress, and prospects of RT combined with immunotherapy in cancer treatment. It additionally discusses the prevalent concerns regarding the dose, time window, and toxicity of this combination therapy.
