To summarize the clinical experience of Professor LIU Shangyi in treating pruritus vulvae. It is believed that women have the physiological characteristics of liver and kidney as the root， and their pubic area is easily attacked by wind-dampness pathogenic qi， so the core mechanism of pruritus vulvae is proposed as wind-dampness accumulation and deficiency of liver and kidney. The core treatment method is to dispel wind-dampness and nourish the liver and kidneys， and modify the Danggui Decoction （当归饮子） to form a self-prescribed Yinyang Formula （阴痒方） as the basic prescription to treat pruritus vulvaen.

Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） offers a rich theoretical foundation and clinical experience for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome（CKM）， demonstrating unique advantage. Building on previous work in managing diabetes， its complications， and chronic kidney disease， our team has proposed a five-phase evolution theory of "constraint， heat， deficiency， stasis， and toxin" as the core pathogenesis. These phases correspond to the pathological progression of constraint of phlegm-dampness， constraint transforming into heat， heat damaging qi and yin， stasis accumulated in the collateral vessels， and toxin induced by deficiency and stasis. In the prevention and treatment of CKM by TCM， it is emphasized to integrate the concept of "treating disease before it arises" with constitution theory， and incorporate the "2-5-8" prevention and treatment strategy， which combines prevention with treatment， tailors interventions to different phases， and employs comprehensive treatment modalities. Our goal is to leverage TCM's holistic advantages in preventing and treating CKM.

Aim To investigate the impact of Cinobu-facini on the proliferation,invasion,and apoptosis of HepG2 cells and the underlying mechanism.Methods The proliferation of HepG2 cells was assessed using the CCK-8 method following treatment with Cinobufaci-ni.The invasion capability of HepG2 cells was evalua-ted through Transwell assay after exposure to Cinobufa-cini.The apoptosis rates of HepG2 cells post Cinobufa-cini intervention were measured using flow cytometry,and the expression levels of VEGF in the culture medi-um of HepG2 cells were determined using enzyme-linked immunoassay.Furthermore,qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses were conducted to assess the im-pact of Cinobufacini on mRNA and protein expression levels related to the CXCL5/FOXD1/VEGF pathway.The interaction between CXCL5 and FOXD1 was inves-tigated via co-immunoprecipitation.Results Cinobufa-cini treatment led to a gradual decrease in HepG2 cell viability in a dose-dependent manner compared to the control group(P＜0.05).Moreover,Cinobufacini sig-nificantly suppressed HepG2 cell invasion(P＜0.05)while enhancing cell apoptosis(P＜0.05).Notably,Cinobufacini exhibited inhibitory effects on the CX-CL5/FOXD1/VEGF pathway,as evidenced by re-duced expression of related mRNA and proteins(P＜0.05).FOXD1 was identified as the binding site of CXCL5.Overexpression of CXCL5 resulted in in-creased proliferation and VEGF secretion by HepG2 cells(P＜0.05),and increased expression of FOXD1 and VEGF(P＜0.05).However,Cinobufacini inter-vention effectively inhibited liver cancer cell prolifera-tion and invasion(P＜0.05),promoted apoptosis(P＜0.05),reduced VEGF secretion by HepG2 cells(P＜0.05),and downregulated the expression of CXCL5 and FOXD1 in HepG2 cells(P＜0.05);but com-pared with the unexpressed group of Cinobufacini,its ability to inhibit cell activity was weakened(P＜0.05),and its ability to inhibit the expression of CX-CL5,FOXD1,and VEGF was weakened(P＜0.05).Conclusion Cinobufacini may inhibit HepG2 cell pro-liferation and invasion and promote HepG2 cell apopto-sis by regulating the CXCL5/FOXD1/VEGF pathway.

Objective:Different methods were used to determine the dissolution of piroxicam patch,and the disso-lution results were evaluated,in order to select a determination method that could more accurately reflect the drug release process of piroxicam patch,so as to provide a reference for the scientific and accurate evaluation of drug quality.Methods:The liquid chromatography method for the detection of piroxicam was established,and the 24 hour dissolution curves of piroxicam patch were investigated by paddle over disk method,rotating cylinder method and vertical diffusion cell method,and the dissolution curves were compared by f1 difference factor method,f2 simi-larity factor method and Weibull model fitting,and the in vitro dissolution behavior of different methods was evalua-ted.Results:Piroxicam had a good linear relationship in the range of 1-150 μg·mL-1(r=1.000),the accura-cy was 100.9％(n=9),the precision was 1.7％(n=9),and the sample solution was stable within 72 hours.The results of the comparison of dissolution curves showed that the dissolution of piroxicam patch was more in line with the Weibull model.Under the same conditions of dissolution medium and temperature,there was little differ-ence between the paddle over disk method and rotating cylinder method,and there was a possibility of substitution for each other,and there were significant differences between the vertical diffusion cell method and the other two methods.Conclusion:The vertical diffusion cell method is more in line with the dissolution process of drugs in actual use,and provides more references for quality evaluation.

Objective To explore the effect of Kümmell's disease with kyphosis on the sagittal morphology of the spine-pelvis.Methods A retrospective analysis of 34 patients of Kümmell's disease with kyphosis(Kümmell group)admitted from August 2015 to September 2022,including 10 males and 24 females with an average age of(71.1±8.5)years old.A control group of 37 asymptomatic population aged(69.3±6.7)years old was matched.Spinal-pelvic sagittal parameters were measured on the anterior-posterior and lateral X-rays of the whole spine in the standing position,including segmental kyphosis(SK)or thoracolumbar kyphosis(TLK),thoracic kyphosis(TK),lumbar lordosis(LL),pelvic incidence(PI),pelvic tilt(PT),sacral slope(SS),sagittal vertical axis(SVA),T1 pelvic angle(TPA)and PI-LL.Vertebral wedge angle(WA)in Kümmell was mea-sured and differences in parameters among groups were analyzed and the relationship between spino-pelvic parameters and WA,SK were also investigated.Results TK,SK,PT,SVA,TPA and PI-LL in Kümmell group were significantly larger than those in control group(P＜0.05),LL and SS in Kümmell group were significantly decreased than those in control group(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference in PI between two groups(P＞0.05).In Kümmell group,WA(30.8±5.9)° showed a positive correlation with SK and TK(r=0.366,0.597,P＜0.05),and SK was significantly correlated with LL and SS(r=0.539,-0.591,P＜0.05).Strong positive correlation between LL and PI,SS,SVA,TPA,PI-LL were also confirmed in patients with Kümmell with kyphosis(r=0.559,0.741,-0.273,-0.356,-0.882,P＜0.05).Conclusion Patients with Kümmell with kyphosis not only have segmental kyphosis,but also changes the overall spinal-pelvic sagittal parameters,including loss of lumbar lordosis,pelvic retrorotation,trunk forward tilt.The surgical treatment of Kümmell disease should not only pay attention to the recovery of the height of the collapsed vertebra,but also focus on the overall balance of the spine-pelvic sagittal plane for patients with kyphosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of lengthened proximal femoral nail anti-rotation(PFNA)in the treatment of Seinsheimer type Ⅴ subtrochanteric fracture of femur.Methods The clinical data of 21 patients with Seinsheimer type Ⅴ subtrochanteric fracture of femur treated by closed reduction or limited incision wire binding combined with lengthened PFNA in our hospital from January 2020 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The fracture healing status,treatment effect,postoperative complications and Harris score of hip joint function at the last postoperative follow-up of patients were recorded and evaluated.Results All patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months,and the fractures healed well.There were no cases of internal fixation breakage or cutting,no cases of vascular injury,and 1 case of ectopic ossification.At the last follow-up,the hip joint function was excellent in 15 cases,good in 4 cases and fair in 2 cases,with an excellent and good rate of 90.48％.Conclusion Lengthened PFNA can effectively treat Seinsheimer type Ⅴ subtrochanteric fracture of femur,and minimally invasive steel wire cerclage is performed when the closed reduction is not ideal,which has the advantages of less trauma,fast fracture healing,fewer postoperative complications and good recovery of hip joint function,and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective To compare the effects of intraoperative manual reduction and Kirschner wire prying reduction in the treatment of completely displaced supracondylar Gartland type Ⅲ fracture of humerus in children.Methods Forty-four children with completely displaced supracondylar Gartland type Ⅲ fracture of humerus who came to our hospital from September 2021 to April 2022 were selected and randomly divided into the prying group and the manual group,with 22 cases in each group.The operation time,number of intraoperative fluoroscopy,fracture healing time,curative effect 6 months after operation and postoperative complications(infection,ulnar nerve injury,myositis ossificans,elbow inversion deformity)were compared between the two groups.Results All 44 children completed surgery,without incision cases.In the manual group,2 children were dissatisfied with manual reduction after repeated attempts and finally changed to Kirschner wire prying reduction,who were excluded in the follow-up study.The operation time was(39.59±5.59)minutes in the prying group,which was shorter than that of(57.50±9.28)minutes in the manual group;the number of intraoperative fluoroscopy was(7.73±1.98)in the prying group,which was less than that of(15.60±3.20)in the manual group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Six months after operation,there was no significant difference in the excellent and good rate of curative effect between the two groups(P>0.05).All the fractures healed from 4 to 6 weeks after surgery.There was no significant difference in the healing time or incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion For completely displaced supracondylar Gartland type Ⅲ fracture of humerus in children,Kirschner wire prying reduction can shorten operation time and reduce intraoperative fluoroscopy,which is a safe,convenient,reliable reduction method with less traumas.
