The Mofeng Ointment Formulation (MOF, 摩风膏方) is recorded in the Dunhuang manuscript Unnamed Treatise on the Pulse (《亡名氏脉经》) and stands as a representative ancient external therapeutic formula in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Known for dispelling wind, activating blood circulation, warming the meridians, and relieving pain, it is particularly effective in treating rheumatic arthralgia. Through literature research, this paper systematically reviews the composition, preparation techniques, and clinical application characteristics of MOF. In recent years, advancements in modern pharmaceutical technology have led to the development of various innovative ointment-based formulations derived from the traditional recipe, such as Dunhuang Xiaoding Ointment (敦煌消定膏), Dunhuang Xiaozhong and Zhentong Ointment (Patch) (敦煌消肿镇痛膏/贴), Xiaoding Ointment (消定膏) gel patch, and Xiaoding Ointment (消定膏) cataplasm. These innovations explore pathways for transforming classical prescriptions into modern applications, providing a theoretical basis for the external TCM treatment of pain-related and orthopedic conditions.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (HRMR-VWI) features for the etiology of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by intracranial large vessel occlusion (LVO).Methods:Patients diagnosed with AIS caused by LVO at the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University from August 1, 2019 to August 1, 2022 were retrospectively collected. All patients underwent HRMR-VWI evaluation and endovascular treatment between 4.5 and 24 hours after onset. Complete recanalization of occluded vessels after direct aspiration first-pass was defined as embolic LVO, and those with residual stenosis >50% after the direct aspiration first-pass were classified as intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis related LVO (ICAS-LVO).Results:A total of 28 patients were included. Their age was 65.32±2.23 years, 20 (71.4%) were males. There were 22 patients (78.6%) in the embo-LVO group and 6 (21.4%) in the ICAS-LVO group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the remodeling index was an independent predictor of ICAS-LVO (odds ratio 1.081, 95% confidence interval 1.001-1.167; P=0.046). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of the remodeling index for predicting ICAS-LVO was 0.882 (95% confidence interval 0.724-1.00; P=0.003). The optimal cutoff value was 1.1, and the predictive sensitivity and specificity were 66.7% and 100.0%, respectively. Conclusions:The HRMR-VWI remodeling index is an independent predictor of ICAS-LVO, with a remodeling index ≥1.1 indicating ICAS-LVO. HRMR-VWI can help identify the etiology of patients with AIS caused by LVO, thereby guiding endovascular treatment.
