This paper explores the differentiation and treatment strategies for pediatric IgA vasculitis based on the correlation between blood trubidity theory and oxidative stress. It is proposed that pediatric IgA vasculitis follows an evolution of pathogenesis characterized by "deficiency of healthy qi leading to turbidity generation， accumulation of turbid toxin， and toxin damage to the collateral vessels"， which corresponds to the pathological process of oxidative stress， namely decreased antioxidant capacity with accumulation of reactive oxygen species， metabolite deposition， and endothelial cell injury. A staged treatment strategy is proposed. In the acute stage， wind-toxin invading the colla-terals and reckless movement of heat in the blood are the main manifestations， for which the treatment should focus on dispelling wind and venting pathogens， resolving toxins and unblocking the collaterals， with a modified Yinqiao Powder （银翘散） and Xijiao Dihuang Decoction （犀角地黄汤） to regulate oxidative stress burst. In the prolonged stage， intermingling of turbidity and stasis with collateral obstruction is emphasized； treatment should focus on resolving turbidity and dispelling stasis， harmonizing the blood and stabilizing the collaterals， and a modified Simiao Powder （四妙散） and Taohong Siwu Decoction （桃红四物汤） can be used to improve microcirculatory dysfunction. In the remission stage， when healthy qi remains insufficient and residual pathogens persist， treatment should focus on strengthening the root and clearing the source， reinforcing healthy qi and nourishing the collaterals， for which modified Zhibai Dihuang Pill （知柏地黄丸） and Yupingfeng Powder （玉屏风散） is suggested to rebuild the antioxidant defense system.

As one of the common systemic vasculitides in children， IgA vasculitis is closely associated with the interaction of "Wind pathogen" and "turbid stasis" in its pathogenesis. Based on the blood turbidity theory， this paper proposes "wind agitating blood turbidity and collateral damage" as the core pathogenesis. Regarding treatment， the sequential therapeutic principle of "stanch bleeding， activating blood circulation， and nourishing blood" is adopted， and combined with the dynamic application of wind-dispelling medicinals to "expel， search， and guard against wind"， turbidity-removing method is applied throughout all stages. In the acute stage，it is recommended to clear heat and purify turbidity， stanch bleeding and secure the collaterals. In the prolonged stage， the method of dissipating stasis and clearing up turbidity should be used， as well as activating blood circulation and unblocking the collaterals. In the recovery stage， it is advised to nourish blood to flourish the collaterals， reinforce healthy qi and resolve turbidity. This therapeutic system integrates the elimination of pathogens and the reinforcement of healthy qi to clear and resolve blood turbidity， ultimately achieving holistic collateral repair through securing， unblocking， and nourishing the collaterals， which provides new insights into the treatment of this disease in traditional Chinese medicine.

ObjectiveTo systematically investigate the medication rules of chicken-derived medicinals for treating children enuresis in ancient Chinese medical classicals. MethodsThe China Medical Classics V5.0 database was searched to identify formulas and passages containing chicken-derived medicinals for pediatric enuresis. A database was established using Microsoft Excel 2021 to extract information including formulas， therapeutic categories， natures， flavors， channel entry， processing methods， dosage forms， and administration methods. Frequency analysis was performed， while association rule analysis and cluster analysis were conducted using R software. Gephi 0.10.1 software was used for complex network analysis. ResultsA total of 171 records were included， comprising 36 single-herb formulas and 135 compound formulas， sourced from 64 classical medical monographs. The identified chicken-derived medicinals included jichang （Intestinum Galli）， jineijin （Endothelium Corneum Gigeriae Galli）， jigan （Gallina Hepar）， jishibai （Faeces Galli Albi）， jisu （Ingluvies Galli）， jiheling （Pluma Alae Galli）， and jiweimao （Chicken tail feathers）. The top three frequently used single herbs were jichang （17 times）， jineijin （8 times）， and jiheling （5 times）. Among compound prescriptions， the three most frequently recorded formulas were Jineijin Powder （鸡内金散， 43 times）， Jichang Powder （鸡肠散， 25 times）， and Guigan Pills （桂肝丸， 24 times）， with jineijin， jichang， and jigan being the predominant chicken-derived medicinals. When converting the daily dosage of chicken-derived medicines into modern dosage units， the dose ranged from 0.53 g to 33.57 g for jineijin， with 4.48 g being the most frequently used dose， and from 0.25 g to 30.00 g for jichang， with 17.90 g being the most frequently used dose. Chicken-derived medicinals were mostly used after processing， commonly employing burning （68 times）， roasting/ stir-baking （37 times）， and calcining （24 times） to preserve properties. Powders （117 times）， pills （45 times）， and decoctions （9 times） were the principal dosage forms， and administration with wine （70 times） was the most common method. The most frequently used herbal pair was jineijin and roucongrong （Herba Cistanches）， while the core prescription combinations were Tusizi Powder （菟丝子散）， Yangshi Jichang Powder （杨氏鸡肠散）， and Rongxiang Pill （茸香丸）. ConclusionChicken-derived medicinals ， such as jichang and jineijin， are commonly processed by burning or roasting before use in the treatment of enuresis. They are often combined with longgu （Fossilia Ossis Mastodi）， muli （Concha Ostreae）， sangpiaoxiao （Oötheca Mantidis）， roucongrong and rougui （Cortex Cinnamomi） to warm and tonify the kidney qi， arrest enuresis and emission with astringents. Pills and powders are the predominant dosage forms and are commonly administered before meals with wine or salted water.

Based on the view that wind pathogen runs through the entire course of the occurrence and development of nephrotic syndrome， it is proposed that the core pathogenesis of refractory nephrotic syndrome （RNS） in children involves imbalance of the lung， spleen， and kidney， invasion of wind pathogen， and stagnation of turbidity and stasis， and that directing the turbid downward with wind medicinals is the key therapeutic strategy. In clinical practice， according to the distinct pathogenic characteristics of three patterns， including defensive qi insecurity of the lung， yang deficiency with loss of regulation， and binding of turbidity and stasis， three corresponding methods are applied， which are diffusing the lung to consolidate defensive qi， elevating yang to supplement the spleen and kidney， and activating blood to unblock turbidity and stasis. For the pattern of defensive qi insecurity of the lung， wind medicinals are used to penetrate and disperse external pathogens， such as fangfeng （Radix Saposhnikoviae） and mahuang （Herba Ephedrae） for diffusing the lung， dispersing wind， and consolidating defensive qi. For yang deficiency with loss of regulation pattern， wind medicinals are employed to elevate yang and assist transformation， such as shengma （Rhizoma Cimicifugae） and gegen （Radix Puerariae Lobatae） for raising clear yang， warming and activating the spleen and kidney. For binding of turbidity and stasis pattern， wind medicinals with scurrying and collateral‑unblocking properties are used， such as jixueteng （Caulis Spatholobi）， luoshiteng （Caulis Trachelospermi）， and chuanshanlong （Rhizoma Dioscoreae Nipponicae） for dispelling wind， activating blood， resolving stasis， and directing turbidity downward. In all these methods， the core principle is to use wind medicinals to regulate qi movement， open and unblock the sweat pores， and separately eliminate turbid pathogens， thereby providing a theoretical and practical basis for the traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment of RNS in children.

Based on the theory of "cold qi generates turbidity" described in the Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor （《黄帝内经》）， together with the physiological characteristics of children， who are considered to have an inherent insufficiency of the lung， spleen， and kidney， and the clinical features of recurrent refractory nephrotic syndrome （RNS）， this article proposes that the pathogenesis of RNS in children is characterized by yang deficiency with internal cold， turbidity arising from cold， latent turbidity transforming into toxin， activation by newly contracted pathogens， and turbid toxins damaging the collaterals. The core pathogenesis is identified as yang deficiency， turbidity coagulation， and collateral damage. Accordingly， the general treatment principle is warming yang and eliminating turbidity， with coordination of three methods including warming yang to strengthen the body's foundation， promoting yang to relieve constraint， and raising yang while replenishing qi. Zhenwu Decoction （真武汤） is employed as the basic prescription with modification according to syndrome differentiation， to achieve an effect eliminating turbidity and arresting leakage， restoring kidney function by unblocking the collaterals， and consolidating recovery to prevent relapse.

Based on the viewpoint of "sweat pore-qi and liquid-kidney collaterals"， it is believed that children's nephrotic syndrome is caused by the core mechanism of sweat pore constraint and closure， qi and liquid imbalance， and kidney collaterals impairment， and it is proposed that the treatment principle is to nourish the sweat pore， regulate qi and fluid， and supplement the kidney and unblock the collaterals. In clinic， guided by sequential therapy and according to the different disease mechanism characteristics of the four stages， including early stage of the disease， hormone induction stage， hormone reduction stage， hormone maintenance stage， the staged dynamic identification and treatment was applied. For early stage of the disease with edema due to yang deficiency， modified Zhenwu Decoction （真武汤） was applied to warm yang and drain water； for hormone induction stage with yin deficiency resulting in effulgent fire， modified Zhibai Dihuang Pill （知柏地黄丸） plus Erzhi Pill （二至丸） was used to enrich yin and reduce fire； for hormone reduction stage with qi and yin deficiency， modified Shenqi Dihuang Decoction （参芪地黄汤） was used to boost qi and nourish yin； for hormone maintenance stage， modified Shenqi Pill （肾气丸） was used to supplement yin and yang. Meanwhile， the treatment also attaches importance to the combination of vine-based or worm medicinals to dredge collaterals， so as to providing ideas for clinical treatment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the potential mechanism of Liangxue Tuizi Formula （凉血退紫方， LXTZF） in treating Henoch-Schönlein Purpura （HSP） by examining its regulatory effect on neutrophil extracellular trap （NETs） dysregulation via the rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma kinase （RAF）/mitogen-activated protein kinase （MEK）/extracellular signal-regulated kinase （ERK） signaling pathway. MethodsSeventy Wistar rats were randomly allocated into a blank control group （n=14） and a modeling group （n=56）. Rats in the modelling group underwent an eight-week modelling period to establish HSP rat models with blood-heat syndrome via modified ovalbumin （OVA） induction method combined with oral administration of heat-property Chinese herbal medicine. Fifty successfully modeled rats were subsequently randomly divided into five groups （n=10 per group）， model group， compound glycyrrhizin group， LXTZF group， RAF inhibitor group， and LXTZF + RAF agonist group. Additionally， 10 rats were selected from the original blank control group for the final experiment. From the 11th week of modelling， rats in the blank control group and the model group received 1 ml/（100 g·d） ultrapure water via oral administration， in addition to 0.5 ml/（kg·d） 0.9% sodium chloride solution via intraperitoneal injection. The LXTZF group and the compound glycyrrhizin group received 7.5 g/（kg·d） LXTZF granule suspension via gavage， 13.5 mg/（kg·d） compound glycyrrhizin suspension via gavage， respectively. The RAF inhibitor group received 1 mg/（kg·d） GW5074 suspension via intraperitoneal injection and ultrapure water via oral administration； the LXTZF + RAF agonist group received 7.5 g/（kg·d） LXTZF granule suspension via gavage and 1 mg/（kg·d） paclitaxel suspension via intraperitoneal injection. All administrations were performed once daily for 4 weeks. After intervention， skin tissue histopathology was examined by hematoxylin and eosin （H&E） staining， immunoglobulin A （IgA） deposition was assessed via immunofluorescence， serum levels of neutrophil elastase （NE）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 （VCAM-1） were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， serum myeloperoxidase （MPO） level was determined by a colorimetric assay； the mRNA expression levels of RAF， MEK， and ERK in skin tissue were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （RT-qPCR）； and the protein expression of RAF， MEK， ERK， as well as phosphorylated MEK （p-MEK） and phosphorylated ERK （p-ERK）， were analyzed by Western Blot. ResultsSkin tissue in the blank control group rats remained normal， whereas the model group exhibited neutrophil infiltration and haemorrhage with red blood cell rupture. In all drug intervention groups， neutrophil infiltration and haemorrhagic exudation reduced markedly， with LXTZF group demonstrating the most pronounced improvement. Compared with the blank control group， rats in the model group exhibited enhanced IgA fluorescence intensity in skin tissue， elevated serum levels of NE， MPO， TNF-α and VCAM-1， increased mRNA expression of RAF， MEK， ERK1 and ERK2， as well as heightened RAF protein levels and p-MEK/MEK and p-ERK/ERK ratios （P＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the drug intervention groups exhibited reduced IgA fluorescence intensity in skin tissue， along with decreased serum levels of NE， MPO， TNF-α， and VCAM-1 （P＜0.05）. In LXTZF group and RAF inhibition groups， reduced mRNA expression of RAF， MEK， ERK1， and ERK2 was observed in rat skin tissue， alongside decreased RAF protein levels and reduced p-MEK/MEK and p-ERK/ERK ratios （P＜0.05）. Compared with LXTZF + RAF agonist group， the compound glycyrrhizin group， LXTZF group， and RAF inhibitior group exhibited reduced IgA fluorescence intensity in skin tissue， decreased serum NE， MPO， TNF-α， and VCAM-1 levels， and decreased MEK mRNA expression and p-MEK/MEK ratio （P＜0.05）. ConclusionThe potential mechanism by which LXTZF treats Henoch-Schönlein purpura with blood heat syndrome may involve blocking the RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway in skin tissue， and suppressing excessive formation of NETs， thereby reducing IgA deposition in dermal microvessels and attenuating systemic inflammatory responses.
