Through an analysis of the pathogenesis of cholinergic urticaria and the therapeutic principle of "treating fire constraint by dispersing it", it is proposed that the disease is located between the sweat pore and interstitial space. The key pathogenesis lies in fire constraint in the interstitial space and stagnation of the sweat pore. The manifestation is rash due to fire-heat constrained in the interstitial space, while the root is the obstruction of qi and fluids in the sweat pore, and the transformation involves constraint fire damaging yin and entering the collaterals. Treatment should consistently follow the principle of "diffusing constraint and dissipating fire", with staged approaches based on disease progression. In the acute stage, treatment emphasizes activating sweat pore and rapidly dispersing constraint fire through modified Shengjiang Powder (升降散). In the remission stage, therapy should focus on harmonizing ying-wei (营卫) and clearing residual fire using modified Zhuye Shigao Decoction (竹叶石膏汤) combined with Xiaofeng Powder (消风散). In the chronic stage, treatment should nourish yin, penetrate collaterals and clear latent fire through modified Qinghao Biejia Decoction (青蒿鳖甲汤).

Based on the theories of the generation and restriction relationships among the five elements and visceral manifestation theory, this paper explores the pathological evolution of the relationship between lung (metal) and liver (wood), in which their physiological state of "restriction without harm" to pathological mutual contention and damage, referred to as "struggle between metal and wood". It is proposed that the core pathogenesis of neurodermatitis lies in the dynamic transformation of metal-wood interaction from mutual coordination to mutual struggle, eventually resulting in reciprocal damage. This pathological evolution accounts for the coexistence of pruritus and lichenification, as well as the chronic and refractory nature of the disease. Treatment should be guided by the principle of regulating and harmonizing between metal and wood. Wood is treated by softening to restore its free coursing, using modified Xiaoyao Powder (逍遥散). Metal is treated by dispersing, descending, moistening, and nourishing to restore its characteristics of clarity, purification, and moistness, using modified Xiebai Powder (泻白散) supplemented with leaf-type herbs and other moistening agents to relieve dryness. When metal becomes depleted and wood withers, accompanied by blood deficiency with wind-dryness, treatment should emphasize the mutual generation between metal and water, and the nourishment of water to moisten wood, using self-formulated Wuzi Chengji Decoction (五子承济汤), so as to reestablish the generation and restriction relationship.

Based on the theory that "where yin accumulates, latent yang must exist", the pathogenesis of burning mouth syndrome evolves from deficiency of healthy qi, to accumulation of yin, latent yang, and upward scorching of heat-toxin. The fundamental cause lies in the imbalance between yin and yang and the internal generation of yin pathogens. The retention and accumulation of turbid yin, which gradually transforms into fire, is considered the key pathogenic process, ultimately leading to the formation of latent fire that generates toxins and scorches the mouth and tongue, causing pain. Treatment follows the basic principles of "resolving accumulated yin, dispersing latent yang, and clearing heat-toxins", with management tailored according to disease stages and syndrome characteristics. In the early stage, when yin stagnation needs to be resolved and latent fire mildly alleviated, Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction (麻黄附子细辛汤) combined with Gancao Xiexin Decoction (甘草泻心汤) is used with modifications. In the middle stage, yang is activated while yin is regulated to clear and reduce latent fire, Wumei Pill (乌梅丸) combined with Fengsui Elixir (封髓丹) with modifications is employed. In the late stage, yang is warmed to attack yin and pathogens are eliminated to remove toxins, Dahuang Fuzi Decoction (大黄附子汤) combined with Shengma Biejia Decoction (升麻鳖甲汤) is used.

Objective To clarify the anti-inflammatory quality markers(Q-markers)of Salvia plebeia and determine their contents,so as to provide a reference for the quality control of Salvia plebeia.Methods The main components of Salvia plebeia were characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS).According to the fragmentation information of the secondary mass spectrometry and the literature data,the analysis and identification were carried out.Further,the active components with high oral bioavailability(OB)and in line with the five principles of drug-like(DL)were screened from the identified chemical components through the SwissADME platform.The SwissTargetPrediction database was used to find and predict the component targets of Salvia plebeia.Disease targets were screened through online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM),GeneCards database,etc.String11.5 database and Cytoscape3.7.2 software were used to construct the PPI network and screen core targets.Gene Ontology(GO)annotation and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed using DAVID6.8,and the enriched pathways were verified by experiments to clarify their mechanism of action.Reverse traceability was used to analyze the potential pharmacodynamic material basis of key pathways,experimental verification was carried out,and high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)content determination method was established.Results 36 main components were identified,including flavonoids and terpenoids.Further screening of 190 active ingredients and disease intersection targets;through network topology screening,18 core targets were obtained;enrichment analysis showed that the primary pathways involved in the anti-inflammatory effect of Salvia plebeia include:NF-κB signaling pathway,PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and TNF signaling pathway.Four related components including homoplantaginin,hispidulin,luteolin and isorhamnetin were obtained by reverse traceability of the NF-κB signaling pathway.Molecular docking demonstrated excellent docking activities of the 4 components to PTGS2 with the binding energies of-9.5,-9.7,-9.4,and-9.4 kcal·mol-1,respectively.According to the measurability of quality markers,it was determined that homoplantaginin and hispidulin could be used as anti-inflammatory quality markers of Salvia plebeia.Western Blot results showed that homoplantaginin and hispidulin could significantly reduce the expression of COX-2 and NF-κB p-p65(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion The anti-inflammatory quality markers of Salvia plebeia are homoplantaginin and hispidulin,which can exert anti-inflammatory effects through the NF-κB pathway.

African swine fever(ASF)is an acute and highly pathogenic hemorrhagic disease of pigs,causing huge economic losses to pig industry.In order to quantitatively detect clinical samples of ASF and inactivated ASFV antigens,the IgG of ASF positive serum was used as capture anti-body and the HRP-labeled p72 monoclonal antibody was used as detecting antibody.The standard curve was drawn with the cell-cultured ASFV,and a sandwich ELISA detection of antigen was es-tablished.The specificity,sensitivity and stability of the method were evaluated.The effects of dif-ferent inactivation methods and adjuvant addition on antigen detection were further evaluated.The results showed that the minimum detection limits of the recombinant protein and the ASFV were 0.1 mg/L and 103.7 TCID50/mL,respectively.There was no cross-reaction with five common porcine pathogenic viruses,and the coefficient variations between batches was less than 10%.The total co-incidence rate with real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was 92%(23/25).The sensitivity of antigen detection was significantly reduced when antigen was treated by BEI inactivation,and the detection results were severely interfered by aluminum adjuvant and nano-adjuvant.In summary,the sandwich ELISA antigen detection method established is specific,sensitive,and repeatable,with a good consistency to the qPCR method,which provides an effective clinical diagnostic meth-od for ASFV antigen.
