Houpo Qiwutang originated from the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber， and it consists of seven medicines： Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex， Rhei Radix et Rhizoma， Aurantii Fructus Immaturus， Cinnamomi Ramulus， Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， and Jujubae Fructus. It is a basic formula for the treatment of abdominal fullness. Through the bibliometric method， the historical history， drug base， preparation and dosage， decoction method， and ancient and modern applications of Houpu Qiwu Tang were analyzed by means of textual research. The research finds that Houpu Qiwu Tang has been passed down through the generations in an orderly manner with fewer changes. The drug base of this formula is basically clear， and the base of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex， Rhei Radix et Rhizoma， Cinnamomi Ramulus， Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens， and Jujubae Fructus is consistent with the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The mainstream base of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus is the dried young fruit of Citrus aurantium of Rutaceae family， and the historical mainstream base of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is the dried root of Glycyrrhiza uralensis of Leguminosae family. The modern dosage of this formula is 110.40 g of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex， 41.40 g of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma， 69 g of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus， 27.60 g of Cinnamomi Ramulus， 69 g of Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens， 41.40 g of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， and 30 g of Jujubae Fructus. In addition， the decoction method is to add 2 000 mL of water with the above seven flavors of the medicine， boil it to 800 mL， and then take 160 mL in a warm state each time. The amount of the medicine taken for each time is 22.08 g of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex， 8.28 g of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma， 13.80 g of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus， 5.52 g of Cinnamomi Ramulus， 13.80 g of Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens， 8.28 g of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， and 6 g of Jujubae Fructus. The modern application of this formula involves the digestive system， respiratory system， and urinary system. It is more advantageous in digestive system diseases such as early postoperative inflammatory bowel obstruction， functional dyspepsia， gastric pain， functional abdominal distension， and gastric reflux esophagitis. By comprehensively examining the key information of Houpu Qiwu Tang， this paper aims to provide literature support for the development and clinical application of this formula.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy of 3D-printed navigation guided pudendal lead implantation on nervous regulation of lower urinary tract symptoms（LUTS） in male patients. METHODS: Twenty-eight male patients who underwent perineal nervous regulation treatment for LUTS in Gongli Hospital of Pudong New Area from October 2021 to October 2023 were randomly divided into observation group and control group. The technology assisted with 3D-printed navigation to regulate the genital nerves was used in observation group. And the patients in control group were treated with regulation of the genital nerves by routine puncture. Operation time of puncture, number of surgical punctures, and stimulator debugging time compared between the two groups. The improvement of postoperative symptoms and surgical complications of patients in the observation group were recorded as well. RESULT: A total of 12 male LUTS patients were included in the observation group, with an average age of 36.5±6.5 years, including 7 cases of frequent micturition, 3 cases of perineal pain, and 2 cases of dysuria. Four patients showed no significant improvement in symptoms, including two patients with pain and two cases of frequent micturition who did not undergo secondary surgery. While the other eight patients showed significant improvement in symptoms. The average time for successful puncture in control group was (21.13 ± 4.53) minutes, which was longer than that of the 3D-printed navigation group (［10.32 ± 3.42］ min) significantly (P<0.05). The average number of punctures in the ordinary puncture group was 5.62 ± 1.43, which was significantly higher than that in the 3D-printed navigation group (1.5 ± 0.56). There was no statistically significant difference in the average time for stimulator debugging between the two groups of patients. The conversion rate of the 3D-printed navigation group in the second phase was 66.7%, which was higher than that (37.5%) significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSION 3D printing navigation of pudendal nerve electrode wire implantation can improve the accuracy of electrode implantation and the conversion rate to a certain extent, which has the advantages of reducing the difficulty of surgery.

A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method utilizing correction factors was established for the quantitative detection of related substances in flumazenil. Separation was achieved using an Agilent Pursuit XRs C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with an isocratic elution of dilute phosphoric acid, methanol, and tetrahydrofuran as the mobile phases. Correction factors calculated from a standard curve method were applied to determine the impurity content. The quantification of impurities in flumazenil was conducted using both external standard and correction factor methods, followed by validation and comparison of the two. For the identification of degradation products, a forced degradation approach was employed to prepare a flumazenil degradation solution, and the resulting impurities were confirmed by LC-MS analysis. The separation of flumazenil and its impurities was found to be efficient. The limits of quantification for impurities A, B, D, and E were established at 0.169 9, 0.314 7, 0.143 9, and 0.270 8 ng, respectively, with the limits of detection at 0.055 8, 0.096 9, 0.048 8, and 0.089 0 ng. These impurities demonstrated a strong linear relationship across the concentration ranges of 0.034 9-7.847 0, 0.038 7-8.710 7, 0.034 6-7.794 1, and 0.032 4-7.292 8 µg·mL^-1, respectively (n = 7). The method achieved average recoveries between 98.25% and 99.42%, with an RSD of less than 2.0% (n = 9), indicating high accuracy. The external standard and correction factor methods were used to determine the related substances in flumazenil, and the results of the two methods were consistent. The established HPLC method is characterized by its high accuracy, sensitivity, and repeatability, and is suitable for determining related substances in flumazenil.

After entering the body from the drug delivery site, antitumor nanomedicines need to cross a series of physiopathological barriers to reach the target site of action to effectively exert antitumor therapeutic effects. The ligand modification strategy is a classic method to enhance the efficiency of nanomedicine delivery in vivo, but the contradiction between the single ligand modification strategy, which is characterized by unity and stage, and the in vivo delivery process, which is characterized by versatility and whole-process characteristics, determines that nanomedicines modified by a single ligand alone cannot satisfy the target efficacy requirements. Therefore, the use of multiligand combinatorial modification strategies by virtue of nanomedicine surface area advantages is key to advancing the next generation of smart nanomedicines. In this paper, on the basis of summarizing and classifying the commonly used functional ligands for in vivo delivery, the advantages and research progress of multiligand combination modification of antitumor nanomedicines are discussed with special focus, and the multiligand combination modification is classified as synergistic and complementary according to the combination of the ligands, which is of great significance to ensure that antitumor nanomedicines can overcome the multiple physiopathological barriers to achieve precise delivery.

Superior vena cava syndrome(SVCS)is a group of clinical syndromes caused by obstruction of the superior vena cava and its major branches from various causes.Pulmonary artery stenosis(PS)is a complication of lung cancer or mediastinal tumours.SVCS combined with PS due to pulmonary metastases from bladder cancer is extremely rare and has not been reported in the literature.Here we reported an old male patient with pulmonary metastases from bladder cancer presenting with swelling of the head,neck and both upper limbs.SVCS combined with PS was clarified by pulmonary artery computed tomography angiography(CTA)and digital subtraction angiography(DSA).Endovascular stenting was used to treat SVCS.Angiography also showed that PS had not caused pulmonary hypertension and did not need to be treated.The swelling of the patient's head,neck and upper limbs was gradually reduced after the procedure.

Objective:The treatment of head and neck in plexiform neurofibroma (PNF) is a major clinical problem, lacking consensus on surgical treatment, classification, operation timing, and treatment method. The purpose of this study was to provide a basis for further consensus formation by analyzing the clinical manifestations, surgical conditions, tumor recurrence, post-operation satisfaction, and changes in quality of life of patients undergoing PNF surgery in head and neck.Methods:Through medical record review and telephone follow-up, a retrospective analysis was conducted on neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients admitted for surgical treatment for PNF patient in head and neck from May 2012 to July 2022 in Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Complete collection and statistical analysis of patients’clinical data, using telephone follow-up to investigate the immediate postoperative satisfaction and long-term surgical satisfaction of patients and/or their families, as well as standardized quality of life questionnaires HRQol(health related quality of life) and PlexiQol(plexiform neurofibroma quality of life). Based on the data about changes in quality of life before and after surgery and long-term surgical satisfaction, patients were divided into surgical benefit and non-benefit groups. Binary and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with long-term surgical benefit.Results:Totally 512 patients with head and neck NF1 were admitted for surgery with complete medical records. 121 patients were identified as NF1 related PNF diagnosed by medical history and radiological examination, and effective follow-up was obtained. There were 70 males and 51 females, aged (25.60±12.85) years old, ranging from 7 to 63 years old, with 41 patients who were ≤ 18 years old and 80 patients over 18 years old. 62.81%(76/121) of patients exhibiting clinical dysfunctions, and the tumor mass were mainly characterized by invasive growth. 41.32%(50/121) of patients underwent multiple surgical treatments, with a total of 215 surgeries performed on 121 patients. The surgical objective included appearance improvement and functional repair. The incidence of postoperative complications was 6.05%(13/215). The follow-up period after last operation was (51.41±27.66) months, and 42.15%(51/121) of patients reported postoperative tumor recurrence. 76.03%(92/121) of patients were satisfied with immediate postoperative result, while the rate decreased to 46.28%(56/121) during long-term follow-up. Family members of patients who were ≤ 18 years old had a higher proportion of dissatisfaction with the scars caused by surgery and a stronger willingness to undergo another surgery. The tumor recurrence was closely related to surgical benefits ( OR=2.32, P<0.05). Further analysis found that the gender and age of patients were the main risk factors for the recurrence. The recurrence risk in patients ≤ 18 years old was significantly higher than in that over 18 years old( OR=3.49, P=0.004), and the highest in the 7-12 year-old group, reaching 68.42%(13/19). The recurrence risk in male patients was significantly lower than that in females ( OR=0.40, P=0.026). Conclusion:The clinical manifestations of PNF patients in head and neck region are complex. Clinical diagnosis and treatment in PNF should focus on the applications in comprehensive method such as full preoperative evaluation, active multi-disciplinary treatment cooperation and combined therapies in order to improve the safety and effectiveness of treatment and reduce tumor recurrence.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

The incidence of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fracture (OTLVF) in the elderly is gradually increasing. The kyphotic deformity caused by various factors has become an important characteristic of OTLVF and has received increasing attention. Its clinical manifestations include pain, delayed nerve damage, sagittal imbalance, etc. Currently, the definition and diagnosis of OTLVF with kyphotic deformity in the elderly are still unclear. Although there are many treatment options, they are controversial. Existing guidelines or consensuses pay little attention to this type of fracture with kyphotic deformity. To this end, the Lumbar Education Working Group of the Spine Branch of the Chinese Medicine Education Association and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized the experts in the relevant fields to jointly develop Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures with kyphotic deformity in the elderly ( version 2024), based on evidence-based medical advancements and the principles of scientificity, practicality, and advanced nature, which provided 18 recommendations to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment.
