The guideline and item classification approach represents a distinct historical method ology, first introduced by ZHU Xi in his Compendium of Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government during the Southern Song Dynasty. LOU Ying later adapted this framework to the field of traditional Chinese medicine, critically analyzing and addressing the limitations of prior academic theories. By drawing upon the rich intellectual traditions of classical texts and historical works, LOU Ying restructured and refined his ideas, ultimately establishing the "guideline and item" medical theory. This innovative framework profoundly influenced LOU Ying′s work, shaping both the compilation of medical texts and the development of novel theoretical approaches in traditional Chinese medicine. In disease differentiation and treatment, LOU Ying proposed the theory of guideline and item classification, that is, taking yin and yang as two guidelines, taking qi and blood, exterior and interior, upper and lower parts, deficiency and excess, cold and heat as ten items, and constructing a syndrome differentiation system focusing on qi and blood, focusing solely on upper and lower parts, distinguishing exterior and interior, carefully examining deficiency and excess, and distinguishing cold and heat. The guideline and item classification system integrates and harmonizes multiple syndrome differentiation method ologies, including the eight-principle pattern identification, viscera syndrome differentiation, differentiation of syndromes according to the pathogenesis of Sanjiao, and qi-blood-fluid pattern identification. As a precursor to modern method of syndrome differentiation and treatment, it possesses unique theoretical significance and considerable clinical relevance. Its applicability to diagnosing and treating various diseases, coupled with its greater operational practicality compared to other methods, highlights its value in contemporary clinical practice. This system offers a complementary and enhanced framework for syndrome differentiation and treatment, warranting further adoption and promotion in the clinical setting.

Objective:To evaluate early residual myocardial ischemia after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary artery disease by using myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and investigate independent influencing factors of early residual myocardial ischemia.Methods:From January 2020 to December 2022, 127 patients (107 males, 20 females; age (60.3±9.6) years) with coronary artery disease who underwent PCI complete revascularization at the First People′s Hospital of Changzhou were consecutively enrolled prospectively. All patients underwent rest and stress MPI within 1-3 months after PCI. Reversible myocardial perfusion defect in the blood supply area of the culprit vessels in stress and rest MPI was defined as early residual myocardial ischemia after PCI. Accordingly, the culprit vessels undergoing PCI were divided into residual ischemic group and non-ischemic group. Differences of cardiovascular examination between two groups were compared ( χ2 test), such as proportion of culprit vessels with severe stenosis (≥90%), proportion of bifurcation lesions, and proportion of diffuse coronary disease. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify influencing factors for early residual myocardial ischemia. Results:Among 148 culprit vessels undergoing PCI in 127 patients, early residual myocardial ischemia was present in 49 vessels (33.1%, 49/148). The proportion of culprit vessels with severe stenosis before PCI in residual ischemia group was higher than that in non-ischemia group (69.4%(34/49) and 49.5%(49/99); χ2=5.27, P=0.022). The proportion of bifurcation lesions in residual ischemic group was also higher than that in non-ischemic group (28.6%(14/49) and 10.1%(10/99); χ2=8.23, P=0.004), with a slightly higher proportion of diffuse coronary disease compared to non-ischemic group (14.3%(7/49) and 4.0%(4/99); χ2=3.62, P=0.057). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that bifurcation lesion (odds ratio ( OR)=4.087, 95% CI: 1.615-10.344, P=0.003) and diffuse coronary disease ( OR=4.208, 95% CI: 1.115-15.878, P=0.034) were independent influencing factors for early residual myocardial ischemia. Conclusions:Early residual myocardial ischemia is still present in about 1/3 of the culprit vessels after PCI complete revascularization. Bifurcation lesion and diffuse coronary disease are independent influencing factors for early residual myocardial ischemia in culprit vessels.

ObjectiveTo screen out the transcriptomes related to the intervention of Wuzi Yanzongwan on the spermatogenic function of semi-castrated male mice， and to explore its potential mechanism in the intervention of the progress of low spermatogenic function. MethodBalb/c mice were randomly divided into sham-operated group， model group， testosterone propionate group（0.2 mg·kg^-1·d^-1， intramuscular injection） and Wuzi Yanzongwan group（1.56 g·kg^-1·d^-1， intragastric administration） according to body weight， with 12 mice in each group. The right testicle and epididymis were extracted from the model group and the drug administration group to construct the semi-castrated model of low spermatogenic function， while the fur and the right scrotum of the sham-operated group were only cut and immediately sterilized and sutured. At the end of the intervention， hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe the histopathology of testis， enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was used to detect the levels of serum testosterone（T）， luteinizing hormone（LH） and follicle stimulating hormone（FSH）. The sperm count and motility of epididymis were measured by automatic sperm detector of small animal. Transcriptomic microarray technology was used to detect the mRNA expression level of testicular tissue in each group， the transcriptome of genes related to the regulation of Wuzi Yanzongwan was screened， and three mRNAs were selected for Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR） to verify the transcriptome data. Through the annotation analysis of Gene Ontology（GO） and the signaling pathway analysis of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）， the related functions of drugs regulating transcriptome were analyzed. ResultCompared with the sham-operated group， the testicular tissue of mice in the model group showed spermatogenic injury， contraction and vacuolization of the seminiferous tubules， reduction of spermatogenic cells at all levels， widening of the interstitial space， obstruction of spermatogonial cell development and other morphological abnormalities， and serum T significantly decreased， LH significantly increased（P<0.01）， and FSH elevated but no statistically significant difference， the count and vitality of epididymal sperm significantly decreased（P<0.01）. There were 882 differentially expressed mRNAs in the testicular tissues， of which 565 were up-regulated and 317 were down-regulated. Cluster analysis showed that these differentially expressed mRNA could effectively distinguish between the sham-operated group and the model group. Compared with the model group， the damage to testicular tissue in the Wuzi Yanzongwan group was reduced， the structure of the seminiferous tubules was intact， vacuolization was reduced， and the number of spermatogenic cells at all levels was significantly increased and arranged tightly. The serum T significantly increased， LH significantly decreased（P<0.01）， and FSH decreased but the difference was not statistically significant. The count and vitality of sperm in the epididymis were significantly increased（P<0.01）. Moreover， Wuzi Yanzongwan could regulate 159 mRNA levels in the testes of semi-castrated mice， of which 32 were up-regulated and 127 were down-regulated， and the data of the transcriptome assay was verified to be reliable by Real-time PCR. GO and KEGG analysis showed that the transcriptome functions regulated by Wuzi Yanzongwan were involved in the whole cell cycle process of sperm development such as sex hormone production of interstitial cells in testis， renewal， differentiation， metabolism， apoptosis and signal transduction of spermatogenic cells， and were closely related to the biological behaviors of signaling pathways such as spermatogenic stem cell function， endoplasmic reticulum protein processing and metabolic program. ConclusionWuzi Yanzongwan can effectively improve the low spermatogenic function of semi-castrated male mice， and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of testicular transcriptional regulatory network， the synthesis of sex hormones in testicular interstitial cells， the function of spermatogenic stem cells， the whole cell cycle process of spermatogenesis， as well as the expression of endoplasmic reticulum protein processing and metabolic program related genes transcription.

The concept of "Bo" （搏） originates from The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor （《黄帝内经》）. Its original meaning mostly refers to gathering and attacking， but in pulseology it reflects the potential of conflict and was widely used in the methods of taking pulse from zang-fu organs and yin and yang. This paper conducted a literature research on the concept and connotation of "Bo" （搏）， and summarized the seven meanings of it， including contention， intersection， stop， change， attachment， pulse， and pathological pulse. At the same time， the pathomechanism of "Bo" （搏） was explained and its four characteristics are summarized， including contention to transformation， concurrent transformation， latent pathogen gathering， and changes transforming to qi； the pathomechanism and locations of "Bo" （搏） were also summarized， including zang-fu organs， channels and collaterals， five body constituents， qi level， blood level， and other aspects， involving therapeutic methods like the opening and diffusing， expressing and tonifying， regulating balance. The concept and connotation of "Bo" （搏） were systematically studied and improved to provide new perspectives and ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of many modern intractable diseases.

During the Jin dynasty,the two major academic schools of Hejian and Yishui emerged in northern China.At this time,the Song dynasty migrated southward,accompanied by the southward movement of the Han ethnic culture and economic center.The dissemination of medicine also showed a trend of spreading from the north to the south.The late Yuan dynasty was an important period for the academic dissemination of the Yishui school to the south.On the one hand,ZHU Danxi,GE Yinglei,HUA Shou,and other clinicians studied the academic works of LI Dongyuan,comprehended his academic ideas,and further disseminated them through their disciples and Confucian scholars.On the other hand,academic works such as Jisheng Bacui and Weisheng Baojian carrying the study of Yishui were published in the south,playing an essential role in disseminating Yishui's study in the south.The dissemination of Yishui's learning to the south adopted a combination of book learning and mentorship,effectively breaking down the academic barriers between the Hejian and Yishui schools.The network formed by the interaction between medical scholars and Confucian scholars was an essential medium for academic dissemination.The study of Yishui was transmitted to the south and integrated with the original spleen and stomach theory in the south,promoting the further development of traditional Chinese medicine spleen and stomach theory.
