ObjectiveThis paper aims to systematically collect and organize ancient and modern clauses and studies containing Xieqingwan， excavate and analyze the key information of Xieqingwan， and provide a reference for facilitating the development of the classic formula Xieqingwan. MethodsThe composition， dosage， decocting methods， usage， and other key information of Xieqingwan in ancient traditional Chinese medicine books were collected and analyzed by means of literature research and metrological methods. The modern clinical application of Xieqingwan was summarized. ResultsA total of 42 pieces of effective data involving 32 ancient traditional Chinese medicine books were collected. Xieqingwan was first recorded in Xiaoer Yaozheng Zhijue. The drug origin of this formula is basically clear in the ancient traditional Chinese medicine books. The modern drug usage and decocting method were as follows： Angelicae Sinensis Radix， Gentianae Radix et Rhizoma， Chuanxiong Rhizoma， Gardenia seeds， Radix et Rhizoma Rhei， Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix， and Saposhnikoviae Radix were grounded to fine powder， decocted with honey， and finally formed into pills with the size of a chicken head （1.5 g）. It was suggested that half a pill or one pill were taken for one dose with warm Lophatheri decoction and sugar. The indications and clinical application had developed from the recordings in Xiaoer Yaozheng Zhijue and evolved from pediatrics to ophthalmic otolaryngology， neurology， dermatology， digestion， and respiratory diseases. The main pathogenesis of these diseases is heat in the liver meridian and is treated. The effect of Xieqingwan is "clearing away heat and toxicity， removing fire and relaxing the bowels， and dispersing swelling and relieving pain". It is recommended to use the corresponding preparation methods in the 2020 Edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. Modern clinical studies are centered around the clinical application of Xieqingwan， which is often modified and used in treating Tourette syndrome， herpes， febrile convulsion， sleepwalking， and insomnia. ConclusionThis paper conducts a thorough textual research of the key information of Xieqingwan， induces its historic evolution， and confirms its key information， so as to provide a reference for the future development of Xieqingwan.

To reduce the subjectivity and uncertainty present in the current international methods of drug value pricing when converting value into monetary prices,based on the hedonic pricing theory,it considers the post-negotiation price between manufacturers and payers as a reasonable price reference in the value pricing of Chinese patent medicine.By constructing an indicator system for the characteristics of Chinese patent medicine,it selects and measures the value characteristic variables that affect the price of Chinese patent medicine.It serves as the theoretical foundation and research basis for establishing a Hedonic price model between characteristic price variables and negotiation prices,thereby promoting the enhancement of rationality and objectivity in value-guided pricing of Chinese patent medicine.

Objective To study the protective effect of polydatin on lipopolysaccharide-induced injury of human umbilical vein vascular endothelial cells(HUVECs)through the protein Janus kinase 2(JAK2)/signal transducers and activators of transcription 3(STAT3)signaling pathway.Methods HUVECs were cultured in vitro,and 500 ng/ml LPS induced their injury and set as a model group;based on the model group,endothelial cells were inter-vened with different concentrations(10,20,and 40 μmol/L)of polydatin for 24 h,and set as polydatin low concentration group,polydatin medium concentration group,and polydatin high concentration group,respectively;a control group was set as another group.CCK-8,monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion,scratch and Transwell assays were used to detect cell viability,adhesion,migration and invasive ability;ELISA was used to detect interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α)levels in the cell supernatant;Western blot was used to detect the expression of proteins related to the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway levels of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway relat-ed proteins.Results Compared with the control group,the model group showed decreased cell survival(P＜0.01),increased cell adhesion,migration and invasion(P＜0.001,P＜0.05,P＜0.01),increased levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the cell supernatant(P＜0.001),and increased levels of phosphorylation of JAK2 and STAT3 pro-teins in the cells(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,LPS damage to cells was attenuated after polydatin intervention,cell survival was increased in polydatin low-,medium-and high-concentration groups(P＜0.05),cell adhesion,migration,and invasion decreased(P＜0.05,P＜0.05,P＜0.001),IL-6 and TNF-α levels in cell supernatants decreased(P＜0.05),and the levels of cellular JAK2 and STAT3 protein phosphorylation lev-els decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion Polydatin seems to reduce the inflammatory injury of human umbilical vein endothelial cells induced by LPS,reducing the secretion of inflammatory factors,and inhibiting the ability of cell ad-hesion,migration and invasion,which may be related to the down-regulation of JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway by polydatin.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze a pediatric case of X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets treated with Burosumab and improve clinicians′ awareness of the safety and effectiveness of the drug.Methods:Clinical data of the child were collected. Whole-exon genetic testing after parental consent confirmed X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets. During 18 months of Burosumab treatment, fasting blood phosphorus, alkaline phosphate, calcium, and calcium phosphate product were monitored every 11-14 days. Parathyroid hormone and 25 hydroxyvitamin D were checked every 2-6 weeks, while knee spacing, liver and kidney function, urinary calcium creatinine ratio, electrocardiogram were assessed every 3 months. Radiological imaging was performed every 6 months, with continuous follow-up of the child.Results:Whole-exon sequencing results showed a c. 1080_1081insCAATGTTA(p.T361Qfs*3) spontaneous heterozygous frameshift mutation in the PHEX gene in the child, which has not been reported previously. After the patient was treated with Burosumab for 18 months, the biochemical indexes were significantly improved, and the rickets score was reduced, without gingival abscess or other adverse events.Conclusion:The variant c. 1080_1081insCAATGTTA(p.T361Qfs*3) in the PHEX gene was identified as the cause of the patient′s condition. Burosumab, as a targeted therapeutic agent for X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets, showed significant treatment efficacy.

BACKGROUND:Low to moderate intensity aerobic exercise can help protect knee cartilage.Long-chain non-coding RNAs are crucial for gene regulation.Among them,HOTAIR can activate numerous transcriptional co-repressors to repress the activation of certain genes. OBJECTIVE:To detect the expression levels of HOX transcript antisense RNA(HOTAIR)and other related factors in chondrocytes of high fat-fed mice and after low to moderate intensity exercise intervention,and to investigate their role in cartilage injury and sports rehabilitation. METHODS:Thirty C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into control group(normal feeding),high fat feeding group and high fat feeding plus treadmill exercise group,with 10 mice in each group.The mice in the high fat feeding plus treadmill exercise group were subjected to an 8-week low to middle intensity treadmill exercise,and the mice in the other two groups were caged.During this period,body mass was weighed every week on Sunday.After the 8-week exercise,both lower extremities of mice were taken,and the knee joint was scanned using Micro CT to make a 3D femoral condyle image to obtain relevant parameters.Hematoxylin-eosin and safranin O-fast green staining of the knee joint were performed for Mankin and Osteoarthritis Research Society International(OARSI)scoring.RT-PCR was performed to detect the mRNA levels of cartilage metabolic indicators and lipid metabolism indicators,including type II collagen,matrix metalloproteinase 13,interleukin 1,low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5,HOTAIR and its downstream factor lysine specific demethylase 1. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The body mass of high fat-fed mice were higher than that of the control group(P<0.01),and the body mass of the high fat feeding plus treadmill exercise group was lower than that of the high fat feeding group(P<0.05).The connectivity density of high fat-fed mice was higher than that of the control group(P<0.01).Mankin and OARSI scores of the high fat feeding were higher than those of the control group(P<0.01)and high fat feeding plus treadmill exercise group(P<0.05).The mRNA level of type II collagen was higher in the control group than the high fat feeding plus treadmill exercise group(P<0.05)and high fat feeding group(P<0.01)as well as higher in the high fat feeding plus treadmill exercise group than the high fat feeding group(P<0.01).The mRNA levels of matrix metalloproteinase 13,interleukin 1,low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5,HOTAIR and lysine specific demethylase 1 were higher in the high fat feed group than the control group and high fat feeding plus treadmill exercise group(P<0.01).To conclude,high fat feeding can increase the bone substance of the femoral condyle,lead to knee cartilage wear,and cause chondrocyte metabolism disorder.HOTAIR is highly expressed in this process.An 8-week low to middle intensity treadmill exercise can reduce body mass,alleviate knee cartilage wear,improve chondrocyte function and down-regulate HOTAIR expression in mice.

ObjectiveTo explore the therapeutic mechanism of Faeces Bombycis on diabetic gastroparesis （DGP） rats based on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian rapamycin target protein （PI3K/Akt/mTOR） signaling pathway. MethodDGP rat model was prepared by random selection of 15 out of 105 rats as blank group. The rats successfully constructed were randomly divided into model group， high-，medium- and low- dose groups （3.2， 1.6， 0.8 g·kg^-1） and moxapride group （1.5 mg·kg^-1）， with 12 rats in each group， and were given gavage for 4 weeks. The gastric emptying rate and random blood glucose were measured. The morphological changes of gastric antrum were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， and the expression of the c-Kit gene was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The apoptosis of Cajal interstitial cells was observed by in situ end labeling （TUNEL） staining， and the protein expressions of PI3K， phosphorylation（p）-PI3K， Akt， p-Akt， mTOR， and p-mTOR were detected by Western blot. ResultCompared with the blank group， the gastric emptying rate of the model group decreased significantly （P<0.01）， and the glandular structure of the gastric antrum was destroyed. The expression of c-Kit decreased （P<0.01）， and the apoptosis of Cajal interstitial cells （ICC） increased. Compared with the model group， the gastric emptying rate in the high， middle， and low-dose groups of Faeces Bombycis extract and mosapride group increased significantly （P<0.01）. The glandular structure of the gastric antrum became closer， and the apoptosis of ICC decreased. The expression of c-Kit in the high dose group of Faeces Bombycis extract increased significantly. After Western blot testing， compared with the blank group， the protein expression of p-Akt/Akt， p-PI3K/PI3K， and p-mTOR/mTOR in the model group increased. Compared with the model group， the protein expression of p-Akt/Akt in the high dose group of Faeces Bombycis extract decreased （P<0.01）， and the protein expression of p-PI3K/PI3K decreased in the middle and low dose groups of Faeces Bombycis extract and mosapride group decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The protein expression of p-mTOR/mTOR decreased in the low dose group of Faeces Bombycis extract （P<0.05）. In terms of random blood glucose， compared with the blank group， the random blood glucose in the model group increased significantly （P<0.01）， and compared with the model group， the random blood glucose in the high and middle dose groups of Faeces Bombycis extract decreased significantly （P<0.05）. Compared with mosapride group， the protein expression of p-Akt/Akt decreased in the high dose group of Faeces Bombycis extract （P<0.05）， and the protein expression of p-PI3K/PI3K increased in the high， middle， and low dose groups of Faeces Bombycis extract （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionFaeces Bombycis extract can increase gastric emptying rate， reduce ICC apoptosis， and lower random blood glucose in DGP rats. The high dose group of Faeces Bombycis extract has a significant effect on inhibiting ICC apoptosis， and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective:To establish a 14-day prognosis model for emergency patients with acute ischemic cerebral stroke and evaluate its predictive efficacy.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted. Patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the emergency department of Beijing Bo’ai Hospital within 72 hours of onset from October 2018 to December 2020 were enrolled. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to screen the risk factors of poor prognosis. The ROC curve was drawn to determine the cut-off value of continuous variables and discretise data with reference to clinical practice. The corresponding scores were set up according to the β regression coefficient of each variable, and the clinical scale prediction model of short-term prognosis of acute cerebral infarction was established. Patients with ischemic stroke in the hospital from January to December 2021 were selected as the internal validation, to verify the constructed predictive model.Results:A total of 321 patients were included in the study, including 223 in the training set and 98 in the internal validation set. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, hypersensitive C-reactive protein, prealbumin (PA), infarct volume, Frailty Screening Questionnaire (FSQ) and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) were independent risk factors for poor short-term prognosis of acute cerebral infarction. The total score of the clinical prediction scoring system for short-term prognosis of acute cerebral infarction in the emergency department was 15 points, including age ≥74 years (1 point), PA ≤373 mg/L (2 points), large artery atherosclerosis (1 point), cardiogenic embolism (2 points), infarct volume ≥ 2.18 cm 3 (2 points), FSQ ≥3 points (1 point), NIHSS ≥4 points (6 points); The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the scoring system for predicting short-term poor prognosis of acute cerebral infarction was 0.927 (95% CI: 0.894-0.960). The optimal cut-off value was ≥5 points, and the sensitivity and specificity were 0.770 and 0.976, respectively. In the internal validation set, the scoring system had similar predictive value for poor outcomes (AUC=0.892, 95% CI:0.827-0.957). Conclusion:The scoring system for short-term prognosis prediction of acute ischemic cerebral infarction has good diagnostic efficacy, and could guide clinicians to judge the prognosis of emergency patients in the early stage.

Objective:The clinical and molecular genetic characteristics of 46, XY disorders of sex development caused by NR5A1 gene variants in 15 cases were analyzed to improve the understanding of this disease. Methods:The clinical data of children with NR5A1 gene variants diagnosed at the Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from March 2016 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Whole exome sequencing was performed to confirm the candidate sites, and Sanger sequencing was performed for validation. The patients were treated and followed up according to their disease characteristics. Results:At the initial diagnosis, 5 of the 15 cases were raised as females and 10 as males. The gonadal tissue was testis without residual Müllerian or ooticular structure, and all had various degrees of genital abnormalities. The average EMS masculinity score was 4.8 (1~9), including micropenis (100.0%), hypospadia (86.7%), unfused scrotum (46.7%), and abnormal testicular position (60.0%), in which the hypospadias was Ⅱ°~Ⅳ°. There was no skin pigmentation in 5 patients with growth retardation. Chromosomol karyotypes were 46, XY, adrenocorticotropin and cortisol levels were normal, electrolyte levels were normal, HCG stimulation test in 5 cases had normal response, 9 cases had low response. Anti-Müllerian hormone and statin B had decreased abnormally with age. A total of 14 NR5A1 variants were detected in the 15 children, most of which occurred in exon 4, of which 9 variant loci were not included in the HGMD database as of December 2022. Conclusion:The clinical phenotype of 46, XY abnormal sexual development caused by NR5A1 gene variants is extensive, with the external genitals showing varying degrees of insufficient masculinization. Adrenal involvement is rare.
