Sangjuyin, as a pungent and cooling agent with precise therapeutic effect, is a classic pungent formula for cooling relief of the epidermis, which is highly respected by medical practitioners. This formula is from the Wenbing Tiaobian written by WU Jutong in the Qing dynasty, on the basis of which subsequent medical practitioners have made additions and subtractions to apply it. The authors used the bibliometric method to systematically organize the medical books from the Qing dynasty and the Republic of China and modern literature to analyze the composition, concoction, decoction, efficacy, and previous and modern application of Sangjuyin. After examination, the drug base of this formula is basically clear. Armeniacae Semen Amarum is the dried mature seeds of Armeniaca vulgaris, family Rosaceae. Forsythiae Fructus is the dried fruit of Forsythia suspensa, family Mulleinaceae. Menthae Haplocalycis Herba is the dried above-ground part of Mentha haplocalyx, family Labiatae. Mori Folium is the dried leaves of Morus alba, family Moraceae. Chrysanthemi Flos is the dried head of Chrysanthemum morifolium, family Asteraceae. Platycodonis Radix is the dried root of Eryngium grandiflorum, family Eryngium. Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is the dried root and rhizome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis of the Leguminosae family, and Phragmitis Rhizoma is the fresh or dried rhizome of Phragmites communis of the Gramineae family. It is recommended that the eight drugs be used in raw form as medicine. The dosage and method of decoction were converted into a modern single dosage of 7.46 g Armeniacae Semen Amarum, 5.60 g Forsythiae Fructus, 2.98 g Menthae Haplocalycis Herba, 9.33 g Mori Folium, 3.73 g Chrysanthemi Flos, 7.46 g Platycodonis Radix, 2.98 g Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and 11.19 g Phragmitis Rhizoma, with 400 mL water added, and the solution was boiled to obtain 200 mL, taken twice a day. Sangjuyin has the efficacy of dispersing wind and clearing heat, promoting lung and relieving cough, and it is used for treating the initial onset of wind-warmth and the evidence of evil spirits in the lungs and collaterals. Modern research has shown that Sangjuyin is often used in the treatment of cough, pneumonia, rhinitis, and other respiratory diseases, and the results of this study provide a reference for the later development of Sangjuyin.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of acupuncture in treating severe Bell's palsy and to explore its potential mechanism by investigating the effect on serum levels of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF). MethodsA randomized, subject-blinded, sham-acupuncture controlled trial was conducted. A total of 130 patients with severe Bell's palsy were randomly allocated into a treatment group or a control group at a 1∶1 ratio. Both groups received conventional western medicine. In addition, the treatment group received acupuncture, while the control group received sham acupuncture, with each session lasting 30 minutes. The treatment course lasted 8 weeks for both groups, followed by a follow-up assessment at week 12. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients achieving House-Brackmann (H-B) grade Ⅱ or lower at week 8. Secondary outcomes included Sunnybrook facial grading system scores at week 0, 4, 8, and 12, the time to satisfactory recovery(the time required to achieve H-B grade≤Ⅱ), distribution of H-B grades and facial disability index (FDI) scores including the physical function subscale (FDIP) and social/well-being function subscale (FDIS) scores at week 0, 4, 8, and 12, and serum GDNF and NGF levels at week 0, 4, and 8. Adverse events and participants' self-assessments of treatment efficacy were also recorded. ResultsA total of 122 participants completed the study, including 62 in the treatment group and 60 in the control group. An intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis was performed, and missing data were handled using the last observation carried forward (LOCF) method. The proportion of patients achieving H-B grade ≤grade Ⅱ at week 8 was 78.5% (51/65) in the treatment group, significantly higher than 49.2% (32/65) in the control group (P<0.05). The Sunnybrook scores, FDIP and FDIS scores increased, while H-B grades decreased at week 4, 8, and 12 in both groups compared to week 0; moreover, improvements in all outcome measures were significantly greater in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). The median time to satisfactory recovery was 6 weeks (95%CI: 5.697-6.303) in the treatment group, significantly shorter than 12 weeks (95%CI: 8.314-15.686) in the control group (P<0.05). Serum levels of GDNF and NGF were significantly higher in the treatment group at weeks 4 and 8 (P<0.05). No serious acupuncture-related adverse events occurred in either group. Adverse events were reported in 5 patients (7.69%) in the treatment group and 4 patients (6.15%) in the control group, with no statistically significant difference between groups (P>0.05). Patients' self-assessment of treatment efficacy after 8 weeks treatment was significantly better in the treatment group (P<0.05). ConclusionAcupuncture can effectively improve facial nerve function and shorten recovery time in patients with severe Bell's palsy, with a favorable safety profile. The therapeutic mechanism may be associated with the upregulation of serum GDNF and NGF levels.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for mortality and bleeding complications in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)treated patients and to evaluate the impact of thrombocytopenia severity on the prognosis of ECMO therapy.Methods A total of 153 patients who received ECMO treatment at Peking University Third Hospital between January 2013 and September 2024 were en-rolled in this study.The patients were divided into death group(n=97)and recovery group(n=56)based on their final outcomes.Additionally,the patients were categorized into bleeding group(n=104)and non-bleeding group(n=49)based on the occurrence of bleeding complications during ECMO.Clinical baseline characteristics and extreme laboratory values during ECMO were compared be-tween groups.Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for mortality and bleeding.The patients were further divided,based on the initial platelet(PLT)values on the day of catheter placement and the lowest platelet count during ECMO,into normal group(PLT≥ 100× 109/L),moderate reduction group[PLT=(50~99)× 109/L],and severe reduction group(PLT<50× 109/L).Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare survival rates among these groups.The patients in the moderate and severe reduction groups were further divided into a platelet transfusion group and a non-transfusion group,and the outcomes and complication rates were com-pared.Results The recovery group had a higher proportion of myocarditis,higher minimum values of PLT,Hb,and Fib,and higher initial PLT values,while the maximum values of lactic dehydrogenase(LDH),total bilirubin(T-Bil),prothrombin time(PT),and procalcitonin(PCT)were lower(all P<0.05)with significant differences.Logistic regression showed that age and maximum PCT were independent risk factors for mortality(OR=1.025 and 1.015 respectively,all P<0.05).The bleeding group had longer ECMO dura-tions,more plasma transfusions,lower minimum Hb values,and higher maximum values of WBC,neutrophils(Neu),and APTT(all P<0.05)with statistical differences.The minimum PLT value,maximum WBC value,and maximum APTT value were independent risk factors for bleeding complications(OR=0.986,1.062,and 1.004 respectively,all P<0.05).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the patients in the severe reduction group had lower survival rates,regardless of whether the grouping was based on initial or minimum platelet counts(all P<0.05).Platelet transfusion improved the mortality in the severe reduction group(P<0.05)but had no effect on the moderate reduction group.Conclusion Age and peak value of PCT are the risk factors for mortality in ECMO patients,while mini-mum PLT count,peak value of WBC and APTT are the risk factors for bleeding complications.Early intervention for infection and in-flammation during ECMO may improve the outcome of patients.Severe thrombocytopenia during ECMO therapy increased the risk of mortality,and targeted platelet transfusion may improve the survival of these patients.
