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.

With the specialization of orthopedics and the increasing complexity of foot and ankle disease profiles, traditional fragmented diagnosis and treatment models face challenges such as low efficiency and poor patient experience. By integrating a multidisciplinary collaboration model with digital-intelligent technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and 3D printing, the integrated diagnosis and treatment center emerges as an innovative, modern healthcare service model centered on the patient. It achieves a "one-stop" closed-loop management spanning specialized outpatient care, precision surgery, and remote rehabilitation. Intelligent surgical planning, robot-assisted therapy, and digital rehabilitation systems have significantly enhanced the precision and continuity of care. This article details the current construction status and development trends of integrated digital-intelligent diagnosis and treatment centers in the field of foot and ankle surgery. As medical models and innovative technologies continue to advance, these centers will play an even greater role in the future, bringing improved health outcomes to patients.

Objective:To investigate the significance of urinary 8-oxo-7, 8-dihydroguanosine(8-oxoGuo)in assessing the short-term prognosis of sepsis in frail elderly patients.Methods:We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 62 frail elderly patients diagnosed with sepsis who were admitted to the Emergency Intensive Care Unit(EICU)at Beijing Hospital between March 2021 and March 2022.Based on their 28-day prognosis, the patients were categorized into two groups: those who died and those who survived.Upon admission, we collected urine samples and clinical data from both groups.We employed isotope dilution high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to measure the levels of the RNA oxidation marker 8-oxoGuo in the urine.Results:A total of 62 frail elderly patients[aged(85.1±6.3)years]diagnosed with sepsis were included in the study, comprising 36 patients in the 28-day mortality group and 26 patients in the survival group.Univariate analysis revealed that the survival group had significantly lower body temperature, blood calcitonin(PCT)levels, sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA)scores, and urinary 8-oxoGuo levels compared to the mortality group.Additionally, the survival group exhibited a higher mean arterial pressure(MAP)than the mortality group, with all differences reaching statistical significance(all P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis indicated that urinary 8-oxoGuo levels were positively correlated with both PCT and SOFA scores in frail elderly sepsis patients( r=0.426, 0.768, both P<0.05).Furthermore, logistic regression analysis identified urinary 8-oxoGuo and SOFA as independent risk factors for 28-day mortality in this population( OR=1.936, 1.427; P=0.006, 0.002).The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)for urinary 8-oxoGuo and SOFA in predicting the 28-day prognosis of frail elderly sepsis patients was 0.761 and 0.741, respectively, both demonstrating statistical significance(both P<0.001). Conclusions:Our findings suggest that urinary 8-oxoGuo possesses strong predictive value for the short-term prognosis of sepsis in this vulnerable population.

This paper explored the disease mechanism of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) from the perspectives of “vital activity” and “qi configuration”, and it is believed that “vital activity” represents the internal regulatory mechanisms of the human body, while “qi configuration” represents the ability of the body to communicate and adapt to the external environment. Abnormal genetic factors lead to the extinction of vital activity in children with ASD, resulting in increased susceptibility to ASD. Environmental instability leads to the solitary qi configuration in ASD, triggering and exacerbating the manifestations of ASD on the basis of genetic susceptibility. In addition, epigenetic mechanisms also play an important role in the pathogenesis of ASD. Imbalances in vital activity and disruptions in qi configuration result in failure in qi transformation of zang-fu organs, with abnormal symptoms manifested through the five orifices. It is proposed that the treatment of ASD should aim to achieve a harmonious interaction between “vital activity” and “qi configuration” to accelerate the recovery of affected children.

Tingli Dazao Xiefeitang is a classic formula for treating lung abscesses and thoracic fluid retention, recognized throughout history and included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Formulas (Second Batch). This article employs bibliometric methods to investigate and analyze the source, origin, and key information of Tingli Dazao Xiefeitang, providing a theoretical basis for the development and application of this renowned formula. The results show that Tingli Dazao Xiefeitang first appears in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber (Jin Kui Yao Lue), where three clinical applications are recorded. The original text clearly states that this formula is used to treat lung abscesses and thoracic fluid retention, with symptoms such as inability to lie down due to wheezing, chest and rib fullness, facial edema, inability to rest due to thoracic fluid retention, and cough inversion. This aligns with findings from ancient application research. In later generations, the methods proposed by ZHANG Zhongjing were predominantly used for medication and formulation. Modern applications of Tingli Dazao Xiefeitang focus primarily on the respiratory system, with pleural effusion being the most common condition. For the preparation and decoction, a single dose of 5 g of Descurainiae Semen Lepidii Semen (dried and mature seeds of Lepidium apetalum) processed as stir-fried seeds and 36 g of Jujubae Fructus (dried and mature fruit of Ziziphus jujuba) prepared as raw materials were recommended. Then 600 mL of water was added and Jujubae Fructus was first boiled until the volume reduced to 400 mL. After filtering out the residue, the supernatant was retained and mixed with stir-fried Descurainiae Semen Lepidii Semen, followed by boiling to 200 mL, which should be consumed all at once. This research provides a theoretical basis for the development and application of this formula.
