Yuejuwan is a classic formula widely used by doctors to relieve liver and depression， with precise clinical efficacy in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The authors used bibliometric methods to collect and collate 495 ancient data related to Yuejuwan， and 105 valid data were screened out， involving 68 ancient Chinese medical books. After systematic verification of the origin of the formula of Yuejuwan， the main treatment symptoms， the principle of the formula， the composition of the drug， the dosage， the preparation method， the decoction method， and other information， the results showed that Yuejuwan originated from the Danxi Xinfa （《丹溪心法》） of the Yuan Dynasty by ZHU Zhenheng， and it is composed of five medicines， namely Atractylodis Rhizoma， Cyperi Rhizom， Chuanxiong Rhizoma， Massa Medicata Fermentata， and Gardeniae Fructus. In terms of drug base， Atractylodis Rhizoma， Cyperi Rhizom， Chuanxiong Rhizoma， and Gardeniae Fructus are in line with the records in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia， and Massa Medicata Fermentata is used. The preparation method is as follows： Massa Medicata Fermentata and Gardeniae Fructus are fried， and Cyperi Rhizoma is roasted in vinegar. Chuanxiong Rhizoma is used in the raw form， and Atractylodis Rhizoma is prepared with rice swill. The formula can regulate Qi and relieve depression and broaden the middle and remove fullness. It is clinically used for the treatment of six types of depression syndromes， chest and diaphragm plumpness， abdominal distension and leg acid， acid swallowing and vomiting， eating and drinking disharmony， toothache， mouth and tongue sores， and other diseases. The most used dosage of the formula in the ancient records through the ages is converted into the modern dosage， namely 3.05 g Atractylodis Rhizoma， 3.05 g Cyperi Rhizoma， 3.05 g Chuanxiong Rhizoma， 3.05 g Massa Medicata Fermentata， and 3.05 g Gardeniae Fructus， and the daily dosage is 15.25 g. The converted dosage is similar to that recorded in the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The formula is in pill form， and medicine should be taken with lukewarm boiled water after the meal. Through the excavation of the ancient literature related to Yuejuwan， the key information of the formula is identified， with a view to providing a more accurate reference for the clinical application of Yuejuwan and subsequent in-depth investigation.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Huayu Mingmu prescription on retinal angiogenesis and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin （PI3K/Akt/mTOR）-hypoxia inducible factor-1α/vascular endothelial growth factor A （HIF-1α/VEGFA） signaling pathway in diabetic retinopathy （DR） rats. MethodsSixty-four SPF-grade male SD rats were used in the study. Eleven rats were randomly selected as the normal group， while the remaining 53 rats were fed a high-sugar， high-fat diet combined with low-dose streptozotocin （STZ） intraperitoneal injection to establish a type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） rat model. DR model evaluation was performed after 12 weeks of diabetes. The rats were then divided into model， low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose groups of Huayu Mingmu prescription （9.29， 18.57， 37.14 g·kg^-1）， and a calcium dobesilate group （0.16 g·kg^-1）， with 10 rats in each group. The rats were orally administered the corresponding doses of Huayu Mingmu prescription and calcium dobesilate. The normal and model groups received equal volumes of physiological saline via gavage for 8 consecutive weeks. Retinal vascular changes were observed through fundus photography， and pathological changes in retinal tissue were evaluated using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Retinal microvascular pathological changes were examined through retinal vascular network preparation and periodic acid-Schiff （PAS） staining. Immunofluorescence （IF） was used to detect the expression of VEGFA and angiopoietin-2 （Ang-2） in retinal tissue. Western blot was employed to detect the protein expression of PI3K， Akt， mTOR， HIF-1α， VEGFA， and VEGFR2 in retinal tissue. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to assess the mRNA expression of PI3K， Akt， mTOR， HIF-1α， VEGFA， and VEGFR2 in retinal tissue. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group exhibited significant pathological changes in retinal tissue， including the appearance of acellular capillaries， as well as significant endothelial cell （E） proliferation and pericyte （P） loss （P<0.01）. The E/P was significantly elevated （P<0.01）. Protein and mRNA expression levels of PI3K， Akt， mTOR， HIF-1α， VEGFA， and VEGFR2 in retinal tissue were significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the expression of Ang-2 protein was significantly elevated （P<0.01）. In contrast， retinal tissue in the treatment groups showed alleviated pathological changes， with reduced endothelial cell proliferation and pericyte loss （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Among the treatment groups， the high-dose Huayu Mingmu prescription and the calcium dobesilate group exhibited a decreased E/P （P<0.01）. Protein and mRNA expression levels of PI3K， Akt， mTOR， HIF-1α， VEGFA， and VEGFR2 in retinal tissue were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the expression of Ang-2 protein was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. ConclusionHuayu Mingmu prescription can intervene in retinal neovascularization in DR rats， delay the progression of DR， and its mechanism may be related to antagonizing the PI3K/Akt/mTOR-HIF-1α/VEGFA signaling pathway.

As a key member of the insulin-like growth factor family， insulin-like growth factor-‍Ⅰ （IGF-‍Ⅰ） is mainly synthesized in the liver and is widely distributed in the human body， and it is involved in the physiological processes such as cell proliferation， differentiation， metabolism， and apoptosis. Studies have shown that the level of IGF-‍Ⅰ is negatively correlated with the severity of liver cirrhosis， and IGF-‍Ⅰ mainly affects the progression of liver cirrhosis by inhibiting liver fibrosis， promoting DNA damage repair， and regulating lipid metabolism. Monitoring of IGF-‍Ⅰ level is expected to provide an evaluation indicator for improving the prognosis of patients with liver cirrhosis， and stimulating the action pathway of IGF-‍Ⅰ or regulating its expression level may become a new method for the treatment of liver cirrhosis. This article reviews the research advances in IGF-‍Ⅰ in liver cirrhosis， in order to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of liver cirrhosis.

Objective: To evaluate the platelet transfusion requirements in children with high-risk stage Ⅳ neuroblastoma undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT), and to identify risk factors for increased transfusion needs and prolonged time to platelet transfusion independence. Methods: This single-center retrospective clinical study included 96 children with high-risk stage Ⅳ neuroblastoma who underwent ASCT from January 2019 to May 2024 in our hospital. Relevant clinical data were collected and analyzed, including age, gender, body surface area, platelet count (PLT) on stem cell infusion day (day 0), conditioning regimen, CD34 stem cell dose, platelet transfusion requirements during transplantation, and time to platelet transfusion independence post-transplant. Results: All 96 (100%) children received transfusion after ASCT. From day 0 to transfusion independence, the median number of platelet transfusion was 3 (2, 4.50), and the median volume of platelet transfused was 3 (2, 4.25) units. Platelet transfusion was required in almost all children in pseudo-healing stage (day 4 to day 6) and polar stage (day 7 to day 14), with transfusion rates as high as 83.33%(n=80) and 100%(n=96), respectively. The median time to platelet transfusion independence post-transplant was 13(11,17) days. Multivariate analysis showed that PLT<100×10 /L on day 0, platelet transfusion within one week before ASCT, the use of “busulfan+ melphalan” conditioning regimen, and CD34 stem cell dose<4.0×10 /kg were associated with significantly increased platelet requirements and numbers of transfusion (P<0.05). PLT<100×10 /L on day 0, platelet transfusion within one week before ASCT, and CD34 stem cell dose<4.0×10 /kg were associated with significantly delayed platelet transfusion independence (P<0.05). Age, sex, and blood type showed no statistically significant association (P>0.05) with post-transplant platelet transfusion requirements or time to transfusion independence in neuroblastoma patients. Conclusion: This study provided quantitative data for platelet transfusion after ASCT in children with high-risk stage Ⅳ neuroblastoma, and identified PLT<100×10 /L on day 0, platelet transfusion within one week before ASCT, CD34 stem cell dose<4.0×10 /kg were risk factors for increased platelet transfusions and delayed transfusion independence. Furthermore, the use of the BuMel (busulfan-melphalan) conditioning regimen was also found to contribute to increased transfusion requirements.

Houpo Sanwutang， included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Prescriptions （Second Batch）， was first recorded in the Synopsis of Golden Chamber written by ZHANG Zhongjing from the Eastern Han dynasty and was modified by successive generations of medical experts. A total of 37 pieces of effective data involving 37 ancient Chinese medical books were retrieved from different databases. Through literature mining， statistical analysis， and data processing， combined with modern articles， this study employed bibliometrics to investigate the historical origin， composition， decoction methods， clinical application， and other key information. The results showed that the medicinal origin of Houpo Sanwutang was clearly documented in classic books. Based on the conversion of the measurements from the Han Dynasty， it is recommended that 110.4 g Magnolia Officinalis Cortex， 55.2 g Rhei Radix et Rhizoma， and 72 g Aurantii Fructus Immaturus should be taken. Magnolia Officinalis Cortex and Aurantii Fructus Immaturus should be decocted with 2 400 mL water first， and 1 000 mL should be taken from the decocted liquid. Following this， Rhei Radix et Rhizoma should be added for further decoction， and then 600 mL should be taken from the decocted liquid. A single dose of administration is 200 mL， and the medication can be stopped when patients restore smooth bowel movement. Houpo Sanwutang has the effect of moving Qi， relieving stuffiness and fullness， removing food stagnation， and regulating bowels. It can be used in treating abdominal distending pain， guarding， constipation， and other diseases with the pathogenesis of stagnated heat and stagnated Qi in the stomach. The above results provide reference for the future development and research of Houpo Sanwutang.

Objective　To evaluate the in vitro synergistic antimicrobial effect of allicin combined with imipenem on clinically isolated carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP), providing a reference for further in vivo pharmacodynamic studies. Methods Twenty-two strains of CRKP were selected as experimental subjects based on clinical drug sensitivity results. Pulling assay together with carbapenem inhibition enhancement assay were leveraged to identify the high adherence and β-lactamase phenotypes of CRKP. The combined effect of allicin and imipenem was confirmed using the zero interaction potency (ZIP) method. The antimicrobial effects of allicin, imipenem, and their combination against CRKP were tested separately in vitro by agar paper diffusion method. The organic combination of allicin and imipenem was exploited for detecting the diameter of the CRKP inhibitory circle and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). The crystal violet semi-quantitative method was utilized to observe the effect of allicin combined with imipenem on CRKP biofilm formation. Results Among the 22 strains of CRKP, 6 strains exhibited high adhesion, accounting for 27.27%. The results of carbapenem inhibition enhancement demonstrated that all strains of CRKP were class A β-lactamase-producing. Allicin had a strong bactericidal effect on CRKP. According to the results of one-way ANOVA, the diameter of the circle of inhibition of allicin combined with imipenem (15.91±2.76)mm was significantly higher than that of the imipenem alone group (8.23±3.46) mm(F=46.39, P<0.001). The ZIP scoring and MIC methods confirmed that the combination of allicin and imipenem primarily exerted an additive effect. One-way ANOVA analysis of crystal violet absorbance values showed that compared to the control group (0.213±0.056), the total CRKP biofilm amount in the allicin combined with imipenem group was reduced (0.134±0.045) (F=3.211, P=0.045). Conclusions The results of bacterial inhibition experiments in vitro show that the combination of allicin and imipenem significantly increases the inhibitory ability of CRKP and inhibits biofilm formation effectively.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective:To explore the current situation of the intrinsic capacity of elderly people in the community and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From September 2022 to March 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 360 elderly community residents from Xicheng District, Beijing, and Xingtai City, Hebei Province, as the research subjects. The subjects were surveyed using the Intrinsic Capacity Assessment Questionnaire, Intrinsic Capacity Influencing Factors Questionnaire, Barthel Index, and Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale.Results:A total of 360 questionnaires were distributed, and 360 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 100.0% (360/360). The overall impairment rate of intrinsic capacity among 360 elderly people in the community was 90.3% (325/360), and the impairment rates in various fields from high to low were sensation, psychology, vitality, cognition, and exercise. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, gender, residential pattern, education level, work status, grip strength, number of geriatric syndrome, self-rated health status, adverse life events, number of social activities, transportation conditions, and social security were the influencing factors of the intrinsic capacity of elderly people in the community, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The impairment rate of intrinsic capacity among elderly people in the community is relatively high. Grassroots medical and nursing staff should assess the intrinsic capacity of elderly people in the community in health promotion work, identify elderly people with decreased intrinsic capacity early and carry out effective interventions to prevent elderly people from becoming disabled and dependent on care.
