Houpo Qiwutang originated from the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber， and it consists of seven medicines： Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex， Rhei Radix et Rhizoma， Aurantii Fructus Immaturus， Cinnamomi Ramulus， Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， and Jujubae Fructus. It is a basic formula for the treatment of abdominal fullness. Through the bibliometric method， the historical history， drug base， preparation and dosage， decoction method， and ancient and modern applications of Houpu Qiwu Tang were analyzed by means of textual research. The research finds that Houpu Qiwu Tang has been passed down through the generations in an orderly manner with fewer changes. The drug base of this formula is basically clear， and the base of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex， Rhei Radix et Rhizoma， Cinnamomi Ramulus， Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens， and Jujubae Fructus is consistent with the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The mainstream base of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus is the dried young fruit of Citrus aurantium of Rutaceae family， and the historical mainstream base of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is the dried root of Glycyrrhiza uralensis of Leguminosae family. The modern dosage of this formula is 110.40 g of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex， 41.40 g of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma， 69 g of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus， 27.60 g of Cinnamomi Ramulus， 69 g of Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens， 41.40 g of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， and 30 g of Jujubae Fructus. In addition， the decoction method is to add 2 000 mL of water with the above seven flavors of the medicine， boil it to 800 mL， and then take 160 mL in a warm state each time. The amount of the medicine taken for each time is 22.08 g of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex， 8.28 g of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma， 13.80 g of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus， 5.52 g of Cinnamomi Ramulus， 13.80 g of Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens， 8.28 g of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， and 6 g of Jujubae Fructus. The modern application of this formula involves the digestive system， respiratory system， and urinary system. It is more advantageous in digestive system diseases such as early postoperative inflammatory bowel obstruction， functional dyspepsia， gastric pain， functional abdominal distension， and gastric reflux esophagitis. By comprehensively examining the key information of Houpu Qiwu Tang， this paper aims to provide literature support for the development and clinical application of this formula.

Objective To investigate the value of ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters in the prognostic assessment of nasopharyngeal cancer patients. Methods The clinical data and PET/CT metabolic parameters of 185 nasopharyngeal cancer patients were retrospectively analyzed. The collected parameters were SUV_max, MTV, TLG, total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) and whole-body total lesion glycolysis (WTLG). The ROC curve was used to determine the optimal cut-off values of PET/CT metabolic parameters. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to screen the independent prognostic factors. Kaplan–Meier curves were used to analyze the survival differences. Results The results of univariate Cox regression analysis showed that age, pathologic type, WTLG, TMTV, MTV, and TLG were closely associated with OS and PFS; and SUV_max was associated with PFS (P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis results showed that age, TMTV, and WTLG were the independent prognostic factors for OS and PFS (P<0.05). The combination of WTLG with T/N staging (AUC=0.781 and 0.781) and TMTV with T/N staging (AUC=0.800 and 0.790) yielded greater predictive accuracy than that of WTLG and TMTV alone (AUC=0.724 and 0.719) or T/N staging (AUC=0.593 and 0.575). Conclusion TMTV and WTLG are important prognostic predictors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. TLG and MTV of primary lesions are prognostic factors for patients’ PFS and OS. SUV_max has limited prognostic value. Systemic metabolic indexes (TMTV and WTLG), when combined with T/N staging, can optimize prognostic stratification.

Objective To investigate the effect of PKM2 on the invasive ability of bladder urothelial carcinoma cells by regulating the reactive oxygen species(ROS)-dependent PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.Methods Human bladder cancer T24 cells were divided into the control,si-NC,si-PKM2,and si-PKM2+IGF-1 groups.PKM2mRNA expression,proliferation,invasion and migration,and apoptosis of T24 cells were detected using real-time PCR,CCK-8 assay,Transwell assay,and Hoechst 33342 fluorescence staining and flow cyto-metry,respectively.The ROS level in the cells was measured using ROS fluorescence probe staining.Western blotting was used to detect the expression of PI3K,Akt,mTOR,caspase-3,Bax,and Bcl-2 proteins.Results The expression of PKM2 mRNA in human bladder cancer T24 cells was significantly higher than in normal bladder SV-HUC-1 cells(P<0.05).Compared to the control group,the expres-sion of PKM2mRNA,cell proliferation ability,number of invading cells,p-PI3K/PI3K ratio,p-Akt/Akt ratio,p-mTOR/mTOR ratio,and Bcl-2 protein expression in T24 cells in the si-PKM2 group were significantly decreased(P<0.05),whereas the apoptosis rate,relative ROS level,and expression of Bax and caspase-3 proteins were significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared to the si-PKM2 group,the expression of PKM2mRNA,cell proliferation ability,number of invading cells,p-PI3K/PI3K ratio,p-Akt/Akt ratio,p-mTOR/mTOR ratio,and Bcl-2 protein expression in T24 cells in the si-PKM2+IGF-1 group were significantly increased(P<0.05),whereas the apoptosis rate,relative ROS level,and expression of Bax and caspase-3 proteins were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion Knockdown of PKM2can increase the level of ROS in bladder urothelial carcinoma cells and inhibit the activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway,thus inhibiting cell invasion and promoting cell apoptosis.
