Tingli Dazao Xiefeitang is a classic formula for treating lung abscesses and thoracic fluid retention, recognized throughout history and included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Formulas (Second Batch). This article employs bibliometric methods to investigate and analyze the source, origin, and key information of Tingli Dazao Xiefeitang, providing a theoretical basis for the development and application of this renowned formula. The results show that Tingli Dazao Xiefeitang first appears in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber (Jin Kui Yao Lue), where three clinical applications are recorded. The original text clearly states that this formula is used to treat lung abscesses and thoracic fluid retention, with symptoms such as inability to lie down due to wheezing, chest and rib fullness, facial edema, inability to rest due to thoracic fluid retention, and cough inversion. This aligns with findings from ancient application research. In later generations, the methods proposed by ZHANG Zhongjing were predominantly used for medication and formulation. Modern applications of Tingli Dazao Xiefeitang focus primarily on the respiratory system, with pleural effusion being the most common condition. For the preparation and decoction, a single dose of 5 g of Descurainiae Semen Lepidii Semen (dried and mature seeds of Lepidium apetalum) processed as stir-fried seeds and 36 g of Jujubae Fructus (dried and mature fruit of Ziziphus jujuba) prepared as raw materials were recommended. Then 600 mL of water was added and Jujubae Fructus was first boiled until the volume reduced to 400 mL. After filtering out the residue, the supernatant was retained and mixed with stir-fried Descurainiae Semen Lepidii Semen, followed by boiling to 200 mL, which should be consumed all at once. This research provides a theoretical basis for the development and application of this formula.

Dynamic tracking analysis of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) biotransformation in vivo is crucial, as certain modifications could inactivate the protein and reduce drug efficacy. However, a particular challenge (i.e. immune recognition deficiencies) in biotransformation studies may arise when modifications occur at the paratope recognized by the antigen. To address this limitation, a multi-epitope affinity technology utilizing the metal organic framework (MOF)@Au@peptide@aptamer composite material was proposed and developed by simultaneously immobilizing complementarity determining region (CDR) mimotope peptide (HH24) and non-CDR mimotope aptamer (CH1S-6T) onto the surface of MOF@Au nanocomposite. Comparative studies demonstrated that MOF@Au@peptide@aptamer exhibited significantly enhanced enrichment capabilities for trastuzumab variants in comparison to mono-epitope affinity technology. Moreover, the higher deamidation ratio for LC-Asn-30 and isomerization ratio for HC-Asn-55 can only be monitored by the novel bioanalytical platform based on MOF@Au@peptide@aptamer and liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight-mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF-MS). Therefore, multi-epitope affinity technology could effectively overcome the biases of traditional affinity materials for key sites modification analysis of mAb. Particularly, the novel bioanalytical platform can be successfully used for the tracking analysis of trastuzumab modifications in different biological fluids. Compared to the spiked phosphate buffer (PB) model, faster modification trends were monitored in the spiked serum and patients' sera due to the catalytic effect of plasma proteins and relevant proteases. Differences in peptide modification levels of trastuzumab in patients' sera were also monitored. In summary, the novel bioanalytical platform based on the multi-epitope affinity technology holds great potentials for in vivo biotransformation analysis of mAb, contributing to improved understanding and paving the way for future research and clinical applications.
