Da Qinjiaotang is the 54th formula of the 100 formulas in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Formulas (the first batch) ,and it originated from the Collection of Writings on the Mechanism of Disease, Suitability of Qi, and Safeguarding of Life Discussed in Plain Questions. Da Qinjiaotang is composed of Gentiana macrophylla, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Angelica sinensis, Paeonia lactiflora, Asari Radix et Rhizoma, Notopterygium incisum, Saposhnikoviae Radix, Scutellariae Radix, Gypsum, Angelica dahurica, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Rehmanniae Radix, Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, Poria, and Angelicae Pubescentis Radix. It is a classical formula for treating strokes. Da Qinjiaotang is widely used in modern clinical practices for treating ischemic stroke, peripheral facial paralysis, cervical spondylosis, rheumatic arthritis, neurodermatitis, and other multisystem diseases. Therefore, following the Principles of Textual Research on the Key Information of Ancient Classical Famous Formulas, the authors collected the ancient Chinese medical literature of Da Qinjiaotang by the method of bibliometrics and screened out 177 valid data, involving 100 ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on the historical evolution, composition, dosage, method of preparation, and preparation of the original medicinal materials of Da Qinjiaotang, a systematic study was carried out. It was found that among the 175 records of the main diseases and syndromes, stroke (144) was the most, accounting for 82.29% of the total diseases and syndromes. Later generations mostly followed the practice of LIU Wansu in using Da Qinjiaotang to treat stroke caused by "weak blood and inability to nourish tendon", featuring "hands and feet cannot move, stiff tongue hinders speaking", as well as other symptoms, such as slant of the mouth, hemiplegia, numbness of the limbs, paroxysmal pain, and acerbic syncope. The treatment scope was expanded, covering tendon dryness, clonic convulsion, spasm syndrome, and arthralgia syndrome. At the same time, it was found that there was a controversy between "internal wind" and "external wind" in the treatment of stroke by Da Qinjiaotang. LIU Wansu thought that stroke was caused by internal factors, created the theory of "hot stroke", and used Da Qinjiaotang to treat "internal wind". Many doctors in later generations focused on treating the "external wind" of "internal deficiency and evil". There were 76 valid data on the composition of drugs, 59 of which had doses for each drug. It was suggested to use the modern conversion dosage of the original formula, with 41.30 g per dose. The drug should be boiled in 600 mL water until 300 mL, decocted once, and taken in a warm state after removing the dregs anytime. Through the analysis and study of the ancient books about Da Qinjiaotang, the paper clarified its historical evolution and confirmed its key information, so as to provide the ancient literature evidence for the research and development of the classical famous formula Daqinjiaotan and its better clinical application.

Objective:To study the epidemiological characteristics and clinical diagnosis of human brucellosis in Qujing City, Yunnan Province.Methods:Through the Infectious Disease Reporting Information Management System of the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, the basic information and clinical diagnostic data of brucellosis cases reported in Qujing City from January 2008 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the epidemic profile, three distribution characteristics (time, population, region), and diagnosis of brucellosis.Results:A total of 1 417 brucellosis cases were reported in Qujing City from 2008 to 2023, with no death. The annual average incidence of brucellosis was 1.49/100 000, with no cases reported in 2009 and 2010, and the highest incidence in 2023 (7.82/100 000). The incidence of brucellosis showed an increasing trend year by year (χ 2trend = 1 874.58, P < 0.001). The number of cases from June to November accounted for 61.54% (872/1 417). The majority of brucellosis cases were in the age group of 36 - 65 years old, accounting for 67.82% (961/1 417). Among them, there were 954 males and 463 females, with a gender ratio of 2.06 ∶ 1.00. Farmers were the main occupation, accounting for 84.33% (1 195/1 417). The cases were mainly distributed in Luliang County (621 cases), Xuanwei City (282 cases) and Shizong County (137 cases), accounting for 73.39% (1 040/1 417). The median interval between onset and diagnosis was 13 days, and the cases with intervals ≤7 d, 8 - 30 d, and ≥31 d accounted for 32.11% (455/1 417), 40.16% (569/1 417), and 27.73% (393/1 417), respectively. Totally 63.94% (906/1 417) of the cases were confirmed in medical institutions in Qujing City. Conclusions:The incidence of brucellosis in Qujing City is increasing year by year, with men, middle-aged and elderly people and farmers as the main population, summer and autumn as the peak period, and Luliang County, Xuanwei City and Shizong County as the high incidence areas. Most cases have an interval of less than 30 days between onset and diagnosis, and can be diagnosed within the jurisdiction.

Objective:To explore the correlative factors for insomnia severity in chronic insomnia patients using MemTrax memory test.Methods:Two hundred and twenty-two chronic insomnia patients (insomnia≥3 days per week with a duration≥3 months) recruited from Center for Preventive Treatment of Diseases, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine or through in-hospital advertisements from April 2024 to September 2024 were chosen. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to evaluate the sleep quality over the last month; according to PSQI score, these patients were divided into mild insomnia group (scores of 7-10), moderate insomnia group (scores of 11-15) and severe insomnia group (scores of 16-21). MemTrax memory test was used to record the picture recognition accuracy and picture recognition reaction time, and MemTrax comprehensive index (MTx-Cp) was calculated; Patients' Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scale(GAD-7) were used to evaluate the depression and anxiety status of these patients in recent 2 weeks. The clinical data, MemTrax test results, PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores of patients with different degrees of chronic insomnia were compared. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between insomnia severity and clinical data such as cognitive memory function in chronic insomnia patients.Results:Among the 220 chronic insomnia patients, 54 had mild insomnia, 111 had moderate insomnia, and 55 had severe insomnia. Severe insomnia patients had significantly higher percentages of those>50 years old and those using hypnotics compared with mild insomnia patients and moderate insomnia patients ( P<0.05). Compared with the mild insomnia patients and moderate insomnia patients, the severe insomnia patients exhibited significantly lower picture recognition accuracy (90%[86%, 94%], 88%[82%, 94%], 84%[78%, 92%]), significantly lower MTx-Cp (88.55±18.67, 84.41±20.93, 76.69±17.43), and significantly higher PHQ-9 score (9[6, 11], 9[6, 15], 12[8, 16], P<0.05). Moreover, severe insomnia patients had significantly longer picture recognition reaction time and higher GAD-7 score than mild insomnia patients (1.11[1.03, 1.24] s vs. 1.04[0.90, 1.15] s; 7[5, 13] vs. 6[3, 9], P<0.05). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that insomnia severity in chronic insomnia patients was positively correlated with age, PHQ-9 score, GAD-7 score, and picture recognition reaction time, and negatively correlated with picture recognition accuracy and MTx-Cp ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Insomnia severity in patients with chronic insomnia is correlated with age, cognitive memory function, depression and anxiety.

Objective:To identify the serotype and genotype characteristics of the first cluster infection of Brucella in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province. Methods:The information of seven suspected cluster brucellosis cases reported in Lanping County, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture in April 2023 were collected, blood samples were collected, and the strains were isolated and cultured. Serological methods were employed for brucellosis diagnosis, bacterial species identification was performed using BCSP31-PCR and AMOS-PCR. Multilocus locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) was conducted for strain genotyping, followed by phylogenetic analysis comparing the strains with those from other regions of China.Results:All seven cases were diagnosed with brucellosis, they were all villagers from the same village and had daily contact with sheeps. Four suspected Brucella strains were isolated, identified as Brucella melitensis biotype by BCSP31-PCR and AMOS-PCR. The four isolated strains exhibited identical MLVA-16 genotype, with MLVA-8 genotype 42 and MLVA-11 genotype 180, belonging to the Eastern Mediterranean lineage. Compared with the MLVA-16 of the isolated strains from other regions of China, the four isolated strains formed an independent cluster. Conclusion:The first cluster infection of Brucella in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province is caused by Brucella melitensis biotype, and the four isolated strains have showed unique MLVA genotype.

Objective:To learn about the geographical distribution and bio-tying diversity characteristics of Brucella strains isolated in Yunnan Province. Methods:From March 2017 to December 2023, 516 suspected Brucella strains were collected from brucellosis surveillance sites and hospitals in Yunnan Province, and Yunnan Institute of Endemic Disease Control and Prevention. The Brucella isolates were confirmed to genus level by BCSP31-PCR, and subsequently identified to species and biovar level using conventional biotyping methods and AMOS-PCR. The geographical distribution of the strains was visualized using ArcGIS 10.8 software, simultaneously analyze the general characteristics of brucellosis patients. Results:Among the 516 suspected Brucella strains, 514 strains were isolated from patient blood samples and 2 strains were isolated from sheep blood samples. BCSP31-PCR identification showed that all strains were Brucella spp. The results of conventional biotyping and AMOS-PCR identification revealed that the isolates comprised 514 Brucella melitensis strains (16 strains of Brucella melitensis biovar 1 and 498 strains of Brucella melitensis biovar 3), one Brucella abortus (biovar 1) strain, and one Brucella canis strain. The strain was distributed in 69 counties/cities of 13 prefectures/cities in Yunnan Province, involving 390 administrative villages in 186 townships. Brucella melitensis was the dominant epidemic strain, and the largest number of Brucella melitensis was distributed in Kunming City( n = 205), followed by Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture ( n = 98) and Qujing City ( n = 72). Brucella abortus was only distributed in Lincang City ( n = 1), and Brucella canis was distributed Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture ( n = 1). The age range of 514 brucellosis patients ranged from 10 months to 88 years, with the majority being between 40 and 60 years old (52.72%, 271/514). The predominant occupational group was farmers (89.11%, 458/514), followed by students (5.06%, 26/514). Conclusion:Brucella exhibits a wide distribution and species/biovar diversity in Yunnan Province, with infection among the farming population emerging as a serious public health problem in the area.
