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.

To gain an in-depth understanding of the clinical application of Rehmanniae Radix during the Qing Dynasty and to clarify its specifications and corresponding therapeutic effects， this study took Rehmanniae Radix in the prescriptions documented in Research on Medical Cases of the Qing Imperial Court as the research subject. According to historical medical literature， a comprehensive investigation was conducted on the specifications， therapeutic efficacy， frequency of use， dosage， and seasonal patterns of Rehmanniae Radix employed by imperial physicians. The findings revealed that Rehmanniae Radix in the medical cases of the Qing court was primarily classified into three categories： Xiaoshengdi， Zhongshengdi， and Dashengdi. Xiaoshengdi was also referred to as Xishengdi or Cishengdi， all denoting dried Rehmanniae Radix. The term Xishengdi was inconsistently defined in the literature. It should refer to the slender variant of dried Rehmanniae Radix and was utilized as a specific specification in the medical cases of the Qing court. In contrast， the wild fresh roots of Rehmanniae Radix， described as "as slender as fingers"， were commonly documented as fresh Rehmanniae Radix in these medical cases. There were variations in Rehmanniae Radix size and grading between historical and contemporary standards. Furthermore， therapeutic differences were observed among Rehmanniae Radix specifications in the medical cases of the Qing court. Xiaoshengdi and Zhongshengdi exhibited slightly stronger blood-cooling and heat-clearing effects while maintaining a non-cloying Yin-nourishing property. In contrast， Dashengdi demonstrated a greater emphasis on Yin supplementation with relatively milder heat-clearing activity. In the medical cases of the Qing court， the dosage of Rehmanniae Radix in different specifications was usually 11.2-18.7 g per dose， typically administered twice daily. Rehmanniae Radix in different specifications exhibits variations in efficacy， which can provide evidence-based insights for precise clinical application.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of community comprehensive management model intervention among patients with dyslipidemia, so as to provide the reference for optimizing community management strategies and improving the target achievement rate for blood lipids among this population. Methods: From May to June 2023, a multi-stage stratified random sampling method was employed to select patients with dyslipidemia from primary healthcare institutions in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province. Eligible participants were randomly assigned to either a control group or an intervention group. The control group received routine management, while the intervention group was subjected to a community comprehensive management model in addition to the routine care. Both groups were followed up for 24 months. Data on demographic characteristics, lifestyle behaviors, physical examination indices, and blood biochemical indicators were collected at baseline and after the intervention through questionnaires, physical examinations, and laboratory tests. Changes in obesity rate, central obesity rate, target achievement rates for blood lipids, blood pressure, and blood glucose, as well as lifestyle modifications, were analyzed. Differences between the two groups before and after the intervention were assessed using generalized estimating equations (GEE). Results: The control group consisted of 560 patients, including 303 females (54.11%) and 430 individuals aged ≥65 years (76.79%). The intervention group also included 560 patients, with 300 females (53.57%) and 431 individuals aged ≥65 years (76.96%). Before the intervention, no statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of gender, age, educational level, history of chronic diseases, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk stratification (all P>0.05). After 24 months of intervention, interaction effects between group and time were observed for obesity rate, central obesity rate, target achievement rate for blood lipids, target achievement rate for blood glucose, composite target achievement rate, physical activity rate, and medication adherence (all P<0.05). Specifically, the intervention group demonstrated lower rates of obesity and central obesity, and higher target achievement rate of blood lipids, target achievement rate of blood glucose, composite target achievement rate, physical activity rate, and medication adherence compared to the control group. Conclusion The community comprehensive management model contributed to improvements in multiple metabolic parameters (including body weight, waist circumference, blood lipids, and blood glucose) among patients with dyslipidemia, and was associated with increased physical activity rate and medication adherence.

BACKGROUND:Inter-limb asymmetry is a common phenomenon observed during human growth and development.Prolonged specialized training can lead to specific adaptations in inter-limb asymmetry among athletes.OBJECTIVE:To review the formation causes,manifestations,and impacts of inter-limb asymmetry on sports performance,and provide an overview of the relevant assessment methods and intervention strategies.METHODS:A literature search was conducted in the CNKI,WanFang,PubMed,and Web of Science databases from their inception to September 2024.The search terms included"asymmetry,asymmetries,asymmetric,asymmetrical,imbalance,strength,power,force,jump,sprint,athletic performance,anthropometry,injury"in English and Chinese.After excluding duplicate publications,irrelevant content,and conference papers,a total of 131 articles were finally included for analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Inter-limb asymmetry can be influenced by various factors including genetics,task demands,training regimens,injuries,fatigue,and limb preference.These factors lead to being primarily manifested in anatomical structure,strength performance,and task-specific asymmetry.(2)An increase in inter-limb asymmetry can result in impaired performance in bilateral in-phase symmetric movements.However,the relationship between increased inter-limb asymmetry and bilateral out-of-phase symmetric movements remains unclear and requires further investigation.(3)Training interventions have been shown to effectively mitigate inter-limb asymmetry,with unilateral training demonstrating superior outcomes compared with bilateral training.The choice of training methods and content should be tailored to meet the specific demands of the sport.(4)To further clarify the relationship between inter-limb asymmetry and athletic performance,it is recommended that future research adopt the concept of"task specificity"in inter-limb asymmetry.This includes standardizing study designs,selecting sensitive testing methods and indicators,unifying calculation methods to provide more high-quality evidence,and establishing categorized warning threshold standards for inter-limb asymmetry in different sports.

Bile-processed Coptidis Rhizoma（B-pCR）， first documented in Shengji Zonglu， is a unique processed products of Coptidis Rhizoma（CR） characterized by "mutual enhancement processing" and "enhancing the cold property of cold-natured herbs". Pig bile can enhance the bitter and cold properties of CR， yielding potent effects in purging excess fire from the liver and gallbladder. The processing increases the dissolution of alkaloids such as berberine， coptisine， and palmatine， while introducing bile acids from pig bile， including taurine-type and glycine-type cholic acids. This enhances its pharmacological effects， such as antipyretic activity， regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism disorders， and intestinal absorption. Traditional processing techniques and quality standards for B-pCR are outlined in the Shanghai Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM） Decoction Pieces Processing Standard and the Gansu TCM Processing Standard. However， incomplete specifications for critical process parameters and quality criteria significantly impact its production and clinical application. A review of research over the past two decades on the processing history， process optimization， quality evaluation， material basis， and changes in pharmacological effects and properties of B-pCR reveals that the pretreatment method and dosage of pig bile， and processing temperature are key factors influencing its quality. Furthermore， current quality standards lack specific indicators. Additionally， the enhancement of the cold property and medicinal efficacy direction of B-pCR is not only associated with changes in alkaloid groups but also depend on the synergistic effects of bile acids. This review can provide insights for improving the quality evaluation system of B-pCR.

BACKGROUND:Rapid and accurate segmentation of brain tissue in medical images is of great significance for three-dimensional biomechanical modeling and diagnosis of craniocerebral injuries.Currently,artificial intelligence(AI)-based baseline models exhibit excellent generalization capabilities on large-scale datasets.However,due to the specificity and complexity of craniocerebral tissues,these models have certain limitations in their application to craniocerebral tissue segmentation.Additionally,the scarcity of craniocerebral tissue samples makes it difficult for baseline models to achieve precise segmentation results through fine-tuning.OBJECTIVE:To construct a craniocerebral tissue segmentation model based on texture feature retrieval enhancement to improve segmentation accuracy under a small number of samples.METHODS:Segment Anything in Medical Images(MedSAM)model was selected as the basic framework,and texture features were combined with deep learning to build a brain tissue segmentation model based on texture feature retrieval enhancement(DP-MedSAM).Dice Coefficient and mean intersection over union(MIoU)were selected to evaluate the efficiency of image segmentation results.In comparison with the original MedSAM model,the ablation experiment systematically evaluated the influence of key components on the model performance.The sensitivities of MedSAM,the Segment Anything Model(SAM)for medical image segmentation(SAM-Med2D)and DP-MedSAM in the mandible,left optic nerve,and left parotid gland were compared.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)By verifying the impact of the number of point prompts on segmentation results on the HaN-Seg dataset,the experimental results indicated that the optimal Dice score was achieved with the addition of three points.(2)DP-MedSAM demonstrated performance improvements compared with MedSAM and SAM-Med2D on two datasets(HaN and Public Domain Database for Computational Anatomy).Especially on the Public Domain Database for Computational Anatomy dataset,in terms of the MIoU metric,DP-MedSAM outperformed MedSAM by 6.59％and SAM-Med2D by 37.35％;in terms of the Dice metric,DP-MedSAM outperformed MedSAM and SAM-Med2D by 4.34％and 25.32％,respectively.(3)The ablation experiment results showed that removing the texture feature extraction module in the DP-MedSAM model,relying solely on original image features,led to a significant decrease in results on the test set.Furthermore,removing the vector cache database and its retrieval enhancement function from the model,which deprived the ability of the model to perform similarity retrieval using an external knowledge base,further reduced model performance.(4)Under conditions of limited data resources,the DP-MedSAM model outperformed the other two models in all evaluation metrics.The DP-MedSAM model performed excellently when processing simple and moderately difficult samples,demonstrating a clear advantage over the other two models and indicating good generalization ability.Processing the fine structures of difficult samples placed higher demands on the model's segmentation capabilities.Although the performance of the DP-MedSAM model declined slightly,it still outperformed the other two models.(5)This study proposes an innovative craniocerebral tissue segmentation model,DP-MedSAM,which improves the baseline model's performance in capturing local details and global structural information in medical images by introducing target region texture feature extraction.Through vector similarity retrieval technology,DP-MedSAM can retrieve the feature vector most similar to the current target region from a pre-constructed vector database,providing more precise guiding information for the segmentation process.
