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.

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction disease caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.It has com-plex pathophysiological changes,and in severe cases,it can rap-idly develop into septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction or multiple organ failure.At present,the pathological mechanism of sepsis and its induced organ dysfunction is complex and the in-fluencing factors are numerous.So far,there is still a lack of specific and effective treatment strategies.RNA modify-N6-methyladenosine(m6 A)is one of the most common post-tran-scriptional modifications on eukaryotic RNAs.It is involved in the regulation of the occurrence and development of a variety of inflammatory diseases,including sepsis,and even multiple organ dysfunction induced by sepsis by affecting the metabolism of RNAs.It includes cardiac dysfunction,acute lung injury(ALI)and acute kidney injury(AKI).Therefore,this article will dis-cuss the effect of m6A modification on the function of immune cells,and its important role in sepsis and its induced multiple or-gan dysfunction diseases by regulating inflammatory signals,py-roptosis,mitochondrial damage and ferroptosis.This will provide new therapeutic targets and strategies for the clinical prevention and treatment of sepsis and its induced multiple organ dysfunc-tion diseases.

Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) remains a major challenge in psychiatric clinical practice. However, there is still substantial controversy in the academic community regarding how to define and assess it, and treat and manage these patients effectively. This paper reviews the evolution of the concept of "treatment resistance"in depression with a particular focus on comparing the conventional concept of TRD with the recently proposed concept of "Difficult-to-Treat Depression (DTD)". It explores the underlying rationale and logic behind this conceptual shift, and discusses the practical challenges associated with implementing the "DTD" framework in clinical practice. Finally, the paper provides targeted recommendations to address these challenges, aiming to serve as a reference for psychiatric clinicians and researchers in China.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of surface electromyography biofeedback combined with respiratory training on post-stroke dysphagia and its impacts on serum neuron specific enolase(NSE)and insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1)in patients.Methods Totally 120 patients with post-stroke dysphagia in our hospital were stochastically assigned into the control group and the combined group,with 60 patients in each group.Both groups were given conventional treatment first,while the control group received respiratory training treatment.The combined group received surface electromyography biofeedback treatment on the top of the control group.The efficacy,serum NSE,central nervous system specific protein(S100β),IGF-1,functional oral intake scale(FOIS)score,standard swallowing function assessment scale(SSA)score,respiratory function,pharyngeal contraction rate and duration of pharyngeal contraction were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the total effective rate was higher in the combined group(x2=4.876,P<0.05).Compared with before treatment,NSE,S100β,SSA score and pharyngeal contraction rate decreased after treatment in both groups,and those were even lower in the combined group(t=5.193,9.000,8.976,10.614,P<0.05).Compared with before treatment,IGF-1,FOIS score,force vital capacity(FVC),forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1),peak expiratory flow rate(PEF)and duration of pharyngeal contraction increased after treatment in both groups,with even higher levels in the combined group(t=4.212,6.220,3.765,6.935,5.020,4.249,P<0.05).Conclusion Surface electromyography biofeedback combined with respiratory training can improve neuronal damage in patients with dysphagia,enhance swallowing efficiency,reduce serum NSE,S100β levels and pharyngeal retention time,with significant curative effect.
