Employing bibliometric methods and adhering to principles of textual research, this study systematically investigated prescription source, formula name, composition evolution, dose evolution, origin, processing, ancient and modern applications of Xiaofengsan. Xiaofengsan, also known as Renshen Xiaofengsan and Chantui Xiaofengsan, was first recorded in the Taiping Huimin Hejijufang(hereafter referred to as Jufang) of the Southern Song dynasty. The formula composition included Schizonepetae Spica, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Chuanxiong Rhizoma, Notoptery Rhizoma et Radix, Bombyx Batryticatus, Saposhnikoviae Radix, Poria, Cicadae Periostracum, Pogostemonis Herba, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex and Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, a total of 12 medicinal materials. In terms of the evolution of formula composition, formulas across dynasties largely aligned with those recorded in Jufang, with only minor variations in application. The results of the formula dosage research indicated that one dose of medication in Jufang corresponded to the following modern dosages:Schizonepetae Spica of 82.6 g, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma of 82.6 g, Chuanxiong Rhizoma of 82.6 g, Notoptery Rhizoma et Radix of 82.6 g, Bombyx Batryticatus of 82.6 g, Saposhnikoviae Radix of 82.6 g, Poria of 82.6 g, Cicadae Periostracum of 82.6 g, Pogostemonis Herba of 82.6 g, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma of 82.6 g, Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex of 20.65 g and Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium of 20.65 g, the origins of all the constituent drugs were consistent with the 2020 edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. The results of the investigation into the decoction method indicated that the aforementioned drugs should be finely ground into powder(pass through the No.5 sieve), and 8.26 g was taken for each dose, which was taken with the clear liquid obtained by steeping tea leaves in boiling water for several minutes. This mixture was administered three times daily, 30 min after meals. The ancient functional indications of this formula mainly involved dispelling wind-heat, eliminating pathogenic factors and regulating the middle Jiao. It primarily treated all wind-heat syndromes manifesting as skin diseases, predominantly affecting the upper body, especially the head and face. The diseases involved in modern applications were mostly dermatological diseases, including urticaria, eczema, atopic dermatitis and others. In this paper, by combing the relevant ancient literature, the key information of Xiaofengsan was textual researched, in order to provide reference for the modern application and development of this formula.

Through data collection and collation combined with bibliometrics, this study conducted a series of textual research on Yanghetang, such as the name and origin, the evolution of prescription composition and modern clinical application. Yanghetang was first recorded in Bencao Yidu of WANG Ang in the Qing dynasty. In addition to Yanghetang, there were 3 bynames of Jiawei Yanghetang, Quanshengji Yanghetang and Zhenjun Yanghetang. Regarding the composition of the formula, a total of 4 versions of Yanghetang were collected. The first version is the 5 medicines version of Cervi Cornus Colla, Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, Cinnamomi Cortex, Zingiberis Rhizoma and Ephedrae Herba in Bencao Yidu. The second version is the 7 medicines version of Waike Zhengzhi Quanshengji, changing Zingiberis Rhizoma to Zingiberis Rhizoma Praeparatum Carbonisata(ZRPC) and adding Sinapis Semen and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma(GRR) on the basis of Bencao Yidu, and most of the Yanghetang is of this version. The third version is the 6 medicines version of Wushi Yifang Huibian, that is, on the basis of Bencao Yidu, Zingiberis Rhizoma is changed into ZRPC, and Sinapis Semen is added. The fourth version is the 6 medicines version in Yifang Jiedu, that is, on the basis of Bencao Yidu, Zingiberis Rhizoma is changed into Zingiberis Rhizoma Praeparatum, and GRR Praeparata cum Melle is added. Regarding the dose of Yanghetang, the doses of the medicines in Waike Zhengzhi Quanshengji was converted into the modern doses as follows:37.3 g of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, 1.87 g of Ephedrae Herba, 11.19 g of Cervi Cornus Colla, 7.46 g of Sinapis Semen, 3.73 g of Cinnamomi Cortex, 3.73 g of GRR, and 1.87 g of ZRPC. The origins of the above medicines are consistent with the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The processing specification of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata is steaming method, ZRPC is ginger charcoal, Sinapis Semen is the fried products, and the rest of the medicines are raw products. The decoction method was verified by the decoction method in Chonglou Yuyao, which is similar in the time, and it is recommended that the above medicines should be added with 600 mL of water, decocted to 100 mL, and taken warmly 30 min after meal. For each dose, it is recommended to use 1-3 doses per day according to the doctor's advice in combination with clinical practice. The diseases involved in the ancient applications involved 42 diseases in 11 departments, including orthopedics, dermatology and gynecology, which were dominated by Yin-cold syndrome. However, the diseases involved in modern research also include 148 related diseases in 10 departments, such as orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, which is consistent with the ancient books. In recent years, the research hotspots of Yanghetang have focused on more than 10 fields, including osteoblasts, malignant tumors, wound healing, traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and so on, which are widely used. It is suitable for comprehensive research and development because of its rational formula composition, clear origin, processing and decoction method, and wide clinical application.

In this study, bibliometric methods were used to systematically investigate the name and origin, the evolution of prescription composition, dose evolution, origin and processing method, decoction method, ancient application, modified application, modern application and other information of Huoxiang Zhengqisan. After research, Huoxiang Zhengqisan, also known as Huoxiang Zhengqitang, was first recorded in Taiping Huimin Hejijufang. The original formula is composed of 41.3 g of Arecae Pericarpium, 41.3 g of Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, 41.3 g of Perilla frutescens(actually Perillae Folium), 41.3 g of Poria, 82.6 g of Pinelliae Rhizoma, 82.6 g of Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 82.6 g of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium(actually Citri Exocarpium Rubbum), 82.6 g of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, 82.6 g of Platycodonis Radix, 123.9 g of Pogostemonis Herba, and 103.25 g of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. In this formula, Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex is processed according to the specifications for ginger-processed products, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is processed according to the specifications for stir-fried products, and other herbs are used in their raw products. The botanical sources of the herbs are consistent with the 2020 edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. The above herbs are ground into a fine powder with a particle size passing through a No. 5 sieve. For each dose, take 8.26 g of the powdered formula, add 300 mL of water, along with 3 g of Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens and 3 g of Jujubae Fructus, and decoct until reduced to 140 mL. The decoction should be administered hot, with three times daily. To induce sweating, the patient should be kept warm under a quilt, and an additional dose should be prepared and taken if needed. This formula is traditionally used to relieve the exterior and resolve dampness, regulate Qi and harmonize the middle, which is mainly used to treat a series of diseases of digestive and respiratory systems. However, potential adverse reactions, including allergies, purpura and disulfiram-like reactions, should be considered during clinical use. Huoxiang Zhengqisan features a rational composition, extensive clinical application, and strong potential for further research and development.

Lianggesan was first recorded in Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang, which was composed of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Natrii Sulfas, Gardeniae Fructus, Forsythiae Fructus, Scutellariae Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma(GRR), Menthae Haplocalycis Herba, Lophatheri Herba and Mel. It was clinically applied to treat fire-heat syndrome in the upper and middle Jiao, and the curative effect was positive. In this study, the bibliometric method was used to conduct a detailed textual research on the formula name, medicinal composition, dosage evolution, origin and processing, functional indications and other aspects of Lianggesan. Research revealed that Lianggesan has six other names, such as Lianqiao Yinzi, Lianqiao Jiedusan, Jufang Lianggesan, Jiegu Lianggesan, Hejian Lianggesan and Qingji Lianggesan. Based on the edition of Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang, an analysis of the evolution of its formula composition revealed that the missing Chinese medicines were predominantly bamboo leaves and honey, while the added Chinese medicines were primarily supplements introduced to address changes in disease manifestations. After textual research, the dosage for one dose of Lianggesan from Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang was as follows:826 g of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, 826 g of Natrii Sulfas, 826 g of GRR, 413 g of Gardeniae Fructus, 413 g of Menthae Haplocalycis Herba, 413 g of Scutellariae Radix, and 1652 g of Forsythiae Fructus. Decocting method was as following:Grinding the Chinese medicines into coarse powder(2-4 mm), taking 8.16 g per dose, adding 300 mL of water, along with 2 g of Lophatheri Herba and 5 g of Mel, and decocting to 140 mL. The residue was removed and taken warmly 30 min after meals. It was recommended to take it three times daily until improvement was achieved. The origins of the 9 Chinese medicines were consistent with the 2020 edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. Except for GRR, which required single frying(stir-frying), the remaining medicines were all raw products. The description of the function of this formula in ancient books was summarized as purging fire and promoting bowel movements, clearing heat from the upper body and purging the lower body, and the main syndromes included facial redness, tongue swelling, red eyes, etc. In modern applications, the formula is primarily used for respiratory and digestive system diseases, including acute lung injury, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, herpetic angina and aphthous stomatitis, covering 142 types of diseases. In summary, this paper can provide a basis for further research and development of Lianggesan through the literature review and key information combing.

From October 2021 to February 2023, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical and laboratory data of six patients (three male and three female, median age: 54 years, age range: 29-73 years) with mast cell leukemia (MCL) diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (The Mastocytosis Collaborative Network of China). All patients had acute MCL, with at least one C-finding present. The main clinical presentations were hypoalbuminemia ( n=4), fatigue ( n=3), fever ( n=2), abdominal discomfort ( n=2), osteolytic lesions ( n=2), dizziness ( n=1), skin flushing ( n=1), and weight loss ( n=1). Splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy were noted in six and three patients, respectively. Six patients were strongly positive for CD117, five were positive for CD30 and CD25, and four were positive for CD2. Four patients had a normal karyotype and two patients had an abnormal karyotype. Gene mutations were detected in 4/6 cases. The median serum tryptase level was 24.9 (range: 20.1-171.9) μg/L. Two patients were treated with venetoclax and azacitidine for induction (one patient achieved partial remission by combination with afatinib, while there was no remission after combination with dasatinib in the other patient). Two patients did not achieve complete remission despite treatment with cladribine and imatinib, respectively. One patient treated with interferon combined with glucocorticoids was lost to follow-up, and one patient abandoned treatment. The follow-up time ranged from 1.1 to 21.7 months. Three patients died and two survived. Overall, MCL is a rare subtype of systemic mastocytosis with heterogeneous clinical course, and these patients have poor outcome. A better understanding of the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of MCL is urgently needed.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics, pregnancy outcomes and factors affecting live birth of patients undergoing multifetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR), in order to provide reference for clinical strategies.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on all patients who underwent multifetal pregnancy reduction among polychorionic multifetal pregnancy patients at the Center for Reproductive Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Peking University Third Hospital during a period of 12 years from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2020. The overall and annual clinical characteristics were analyzed, pregnancy outcomes were followed up. Patients were divided into live birth group ( n=1 555) and not live birth group ( n=205), and factors affecting live birth were analyzed by multivariate logistic. Through further subgroup analysis, multiple pregnancies were divided into three subgroups: dichorionic diamniotic twin, triplet pregnancy, and four or more high sequence multiple pregnancy. Results:A total of 1 925 patients who underwent MFPR were included, and 1 760 pregnancy outcomes were followed up. In the past 12 years, there had been an increase in dizygotic twins, and the proportion of transabdominal fetal reduction had significantly increased, from 3% in 2009 to 77% in 2020. The annual live birth rate of reduction patients fluctuated between 83% and 94%. The live birth rate of patients with MFPR was related with the type of multiple pregnancies, the method of reducing pregnancies, and the number of retained embryos. The live birth rate of four or more high sequence multiple pregnancies [75.8% (72/95)] was lower than that of dichorionic diamniotic twins [90.0% (796/884), P<0.001], the dichorionic diamniotic twins [89.9% (241/268), P<0.001], the trichorionic triamniotic triplet pregnancy [86.9% (446/513), P=0.005]. The live birth rate of transabdominal fetal reduction [91.4% (655/717)] was higher than that of transvaginal fetal reduction with fetal cardiac activity area injection of KCl [84.9% (304/358), P=0.001], and vaginal embryo aspiration [87.0% (596/685), P=0.009]. There was no statistically significant difference in the live birth rate between vaginal KCl injection and vaginal aspiration ( P=0.351). The survival rate of patients with retained singletons [89.7% (1 062/1 184)] was higher than that of patients with retained twins [85.6% (493/576), P=0.012]. After adjusting for confounding factors such as age, assisted pregnancy method, type of multiple pregnancies, and number of retained embryos, transabdominal fetal reduction was an independent protective factor for live birth rate ( P=0.040, OR=1.604, 95% CI: 1.021-2.519). Conclusion:With the change of transplantation strategy, the proportion of dichorionic diamniotic twins increased, and the proportion of transabdominal fetal reduction increased, which pregnancy outcomes might be better. There was no difference in pregnancy outcomes between those who underwent vaginal aspiration and transvaginal fetal reduction with fetal cardiac activity area injection of KCl. The outcomes of four or more high sequence multiple pregnancies were poor, and it was necessary to strictly control the number of embryo transfers and optimize ovulation promotion plans in clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo study the effects of Toddalia asiatica alcohol extract on autophagy and apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells, and to explore its possible mechanism. MethodA549 cells were cultured in vitro. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the proliferation of A549 cells, and cell survival rate was calculated to screen the drug concentration. The apoptosis in each dose group and that after the use of 3-methyladenine (3-MA), an autophagy inhibitor, were detected by flow cytometry combined with Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins such as B cell lymphocytoma-2(Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax), microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), cleaved cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-3 (cleaved Caspase-3), activated poly (Adenosine diphosphate) ribonucleotide polymerase (cleaved PARP1), PARP1, activated death activator (t-Bid), Bid, and ubiquitin-binding protein p62 in each group and those after the use of 3-MA. ResultCompared with the conditions in the control group, the cell survival rate in 0.25 g·L-1 group (P<0.05), and 0.5, 1, 2, 4 g·L-1 groups (P<0.01) was decreased after 24 h intervention. Additionally, the cell survival rate was reduced in a concentration-dependent manner at 48 h and it was less than 10% at 4 g·L-1 (P<0.01). Compared with the conditions in the control group, the total apoptosis rate in 0.5 g·L-1 group was increased (P<0.05), and the apoptosis rate in 1 and 2 g·L-1 groups was also increased (P<0.01). Compared with the 2 g·L-1 group and 3-MA group, the 3-MA combined with T. asiatica alcohol extract had significantly decreased apoptosis rate (P<0.01). Compared with the conditions in the control group, elevated expression of pro-apoptotic proteins cleaved PARP1, Bax and t-Bid in 1 and 2 g·L-1 groups (P<0.05, P<0.01), and reduced expression of Bid in the 2 g·L-1 group (P<0.01) were found. Compared with the conditions in the control group, the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 (P<0.05, P<0.01) and the level of p62 (P<0.01) were down-regulated in 0.5, 1, 2 g·L-1 groups, while the level of LC3 Ⅱ protein was up-regulated (P<0.01), with certain concentration dependence. ConclusionT. asiatica alcohol extract could significantly inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells, which might be related to promoting autophagy and inducing apoptosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations and pathogenic gene mutation sites of familial cavernous hemangioma by a pedigree study of this disease.Methods:A family of cerebral cavernous hemangioma who was admitted to the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology in April 2019 was diagnosed as cerebral cavernous hemangioma type 1 based on clinical manifestations and head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion weighted imaging and susceptibility weighted imaging screening. According to Zabramski classification criteria, the family′s clinical data were collected and genes were sequenced.Results:A 58-year-old female proband had dizziness and headache as the main symptoms, her daughter and son had no clinical symptoms, and her granddaughter had clinical manifestations of cerebral hemorrhage and seizures. The proband and her family members showed multiple cavernous hemangioma on cranial MRI,and the p.L436fs mutation in the KRIT1 gene of familial cerebral cavernous malformation type 1 was confirmed through genetic examination, which was consistent with the Zabramski typing results based on head MRI. The mutation site of the familial spongiform malformation type 1 pathogenic gene was found to be p.L436fs in KRIT1 gene, which has not been reported in familial cerebral cavernous hemangioma type 1 until now.Conclusion:A new p.L436fs mutation of KRIT1 gene was found in familial cerebral cavernous malformation type 1, which expands understanding of the clinical manifestations and pathogenic gene mutation sites of familial cavernous hemangioma.
