In this paper, by referring to ancient and modern literature, the textual research of Inulae Flos has been conducted to clarify the name, origin, production area, quality evaluation, harvesting, processing and others, so as to provide reference and basis for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing this herb. After textual research, it could be verified that the medicinal use of Inulae Flos was first recorded in Shennong Bencaojing of the Han dynasty. In successive dynasties, Xuanfuhua has been taken as the official name, and it also has other alternative names such as Jinfeicao, Daogeng and Jinqianhua. The period before the Song and Yuan dynasties, the main origin of Inulae Flos was the Asteraceae plant Inula japonica, and from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the present, I. japonica and I. britannica are the primary source. In addition to the dominant basal species, there are also regional species such as I. linariifolia, I. helianthus-aquatili, and I. hupehensis. The earliest recorded production areas in ancient times were Henan, Hubei and other places, and the literature records that it has been distributed throughout the country since modern times. The medicinal part is its flower, the harvesting and processing method recorded in the past dynasties is mainly harvested in the fifth and ninth lunar months, and dried in the sun, and the modern harvesting is mostly harvested in summer and autumn when the flowers bloom, in order to remove impurities, dry in the shade or dry in the sun. In addition, the roots, whole herbs and aerial parts are used as medicinal materials. In ancient times, there were no records about the quality of Inulae Flos, and in modern times, it is generally believed that the quality of complete flower structure, small receptacles, large blooms, yellow petals, long filaments, many fluffs, no fragments, and no branches is better. Ancient processing methods primarily involved cleaning, steaming, and sun-drying, supplemented by techniques such as boiling, roasting, burning, simmering, stir-frying, and honey-processing. Modern processing focuses mainly on cleaning the stems and leaves before use. Regarding the medicinal properties, ancient texts describe it as salty and sweet in taste, slightly warm in nature, and mildly toxic. Modern studies characterize it as bitter, pungent, and salty in taste, with a slightly warm nature. Its therapeutic effects remain consistent across eras, including descending Qi, resolving phlegm, promoting diuresis, and stopping vomiting. Based on the research results, it is recommended that when developing famous classical formulas containing Inulae Flos, either I. japonica or I. britannica should be used as the medicinal source. Processing methods should follow formula requirements, where no processing instructions are specified, the raw products may be used after cleaning.

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM), as a highly aggressive primary malignant tumor of the peritoneum, often leads to structural damage and functional impairment of female reproductive organs during its treatment course. This study presents a clinical case of an MPM patient who underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), subsequently achieving successful live birth through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. A comprehensive review of relevant literature was conducted to analyze both the potential benefits and associated risks. While the possibility of successful pregnancy exists for MPM patients following combined CRS and HIPEC treatment, significant clinical risks during the gestational process cannot be overlooked. Current evidence remains limited, necessitating more robust clinical data to substantiate these findings.

AIM: To explore the risk factors of retinal detachment after stage II vitrectomy in patients with open ocular trauma.METHODS: Retrospective analysis. Totally 278 patients(278 eyes)with open ocular trauma who received stage II vitrectomy in the hospital were included from April 2020 to July 2023. According to the postoperative retinal detachment status, they were divided into detachment group(48 eyes)and non-detachment group(230 eyes). The basic clinical conditions of the two groups of patients were compared, and the factors affecting retinal detachment were analyzed.RESULTS: Univariate analysis revealed that there were statistical differences in wound length, injured area, surgical time after injury, and history of retinal detachment/lesion between the two groups(all P<0.05). Logistics multivariate regression analysis showed that wound length greater than 10 mm, surgical time after injury more than 1 wk, and history of retinal detachment/lesion were risk factors for retinal detachment in patients with open ocular trauma after stage II vitrectomy(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The occurrence of retinal detachment in patients with open ocular trauma after stage II vitrectomy is mainly related to the severity of trauma, surgical time after injury and history of ocular retinopathy. It is necessary to perform surgical treatment for patients as soon as possible.

ObjectiveTo understand the prevalence of hookworm infection and its relevant behavioral factors in rural areas of Tiantai County, Zhejiang Province, and to provide scientific evidence for prevention and control of hookworm disease. MethodsBy using a stratified cluster random sampling strategy, local residents aged ≥3 years was divided into 5 districts according to geographical location; furthermore, those in one administrative village (surveillance site) were investigated in each district. Species of hookworm were identified by filter paper culture in vitro, and enterobius vermicularis eggs were detected by cellophane anal swab in children aged 3‒9 year. Risk factors were determined by questionnaire. ResultsA total of 1 013 residents were investigated in 5 surveillance sites. Thirty nine cases with hookworm infection were detected, with the total infection rate of 3.85% . All species detected were determined to be Necator americanus. The infection rate significantly differed across the towns (χ2=48.32, P<0.05), with the highest rate in Nanping Town (10.95%) . It significantly differed by age groups (χ2=65.65, P<0.05), with the highest rate in those aged >70 years (9.75%). Furthermore, it decreased with educational background. It was significantly associated with fertilize with fresh manure (χ2=6.87, P<0.05) and barefoot labor (χ2=157.69, P<0.05). ConclusionThe overall infection rate of hookworm in Tiantai County remains low. Dominant species of hookworm is hookworm Necator americanus. It is necessary to strengthen the advocacy of hookworm prevention and control knowledge, improve hygiene in work and life style, and increase self-protection awareness.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease with a complex pathogenesis, which causes the lack of precise and personalized prevention, control, and treatment approaches in clinical practice. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with multiple components acting on multiple targets plays a role in the prevention and treatment of COPD. After evaluating the treatment of cough, dyspnea, and lung distension based on syndrome differentiation in TCM, we summarized the commonly used TCM preparations for treating COPD. These preparations are mainly composed of medicines for clearing interior heat and releasing exterior, tonifying, activating blood and resolving stasis, resolving phlegm, relieving cough and breathlessness, and regulating Qi movement. Because all of them contain a variety of active ingredients such as flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenols, we analyzed the mechanisms of the classic prescriptions alone or in combination with othermedicines or therapeuticmethods. These mechanisms involve counteracting inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis, inhibiting apoptosis, alleviating airway remodeling, and enhancing immunity. Meantime, we summarized the existing problems in the treatment of COPD by TCM. This review provides a scientific basis for the research and treatment of COPD in the future.
