Da Qinjiaotang is the 54th formula of the 100 formulas in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Formulas (the first batch) ,and it originated from the Collection of Writings on the Mechanism of Disease, Suitability of Qi, and Safeguarding of Life Discussed in Plain Questions. Da Qinjiaotang is composed of Gentiana macrophylla, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Angelica sinensis, Paeonia lactiflora, Asari Radix et Rhizoma, Notopterygium incisum, Saposhnikoviae Radix, Scutellariae Radix, Gypsum, Angelica dahurica, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Rehmanniae Radix, Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, Poria, and Angelicae Pubescentis Radix. It is a classical formula for treating strokes. Da Qinjiaotang is widely used in modern clinical practices for treating ischemic stroke, peripheral facial paralysis, cervical spondylosis, rheumatic arthritis, neurodermatitis, and other multisystem diseases. Therefore, following the Principles of Textual Research on the Key Information of Ancient Classical Famous Formulas, the authors collected the ancient Chinese medical literature of Da Qinjiaotang by the method of bibliometrics and screened out 177 valid data, involving 100 ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on the historical evolution, composition, dosage, method of preparation, and preparation of the original medicinal materials of Da Qinjiaotang, a systematic study was carried out. It was found that among the 175 records of the main diseases and syndromes, stroke (144) was the most, accounting for 82.29% of the total diseases and syndromes. Later generations mostly followed the practice of LIU Wansu in using Da Qinjiaotang to treat stroke caused by "weak blood and inability to nourish tendon", featuring "hands and feet cannot move, stiff tongue hinders speaking", as well as other symptoms, such as slant of the mouth, hemiplegia, numbness of the limbs, paroxysmal pain, and acerbic syncope. The treatment scope was expanded, covering tendon dryness, clonic convulsion, spasm syndrome, and arthralgia syndrome. At the same time, it was found that there was a controversy between "internal wind" and "external wind" in the treatment of stroke by Da Qinjiaotang. LIU Wansu thought that stroke was caused by internal factors, created the theory of "hot stroke", and used Da Qinjiaotang to treat "internal wind". Many doctors in later generations focused on treating the "external wind" of "internal deficiency and evil". There were 76 valid data on the composition of drugs, 59 of which had doses for each drug. It was suggested to use the modern conversion dosage of the original formula, with 41.30 g per dose. The drug should be boiled in 600 mL water until 300 mL, decocted once, and taken in a warm state after removing the dregs anytime. Through the analysis and study of the ancient books about Da Qinjiaotang, the paper clarified its historical evolution and confirmed its key information, so as to provide the ancient literature evidence for the research and development of the classical famous formula Daqinjiaotan and its better clinical application.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of linaclotide combined with compound polyethylene glycol (PEG) on bowel preparation, and compare it with traditional PEG 3 L and oral sulfate solution (OSS) 3 L methods.Methods:Patients aged 18-70 years who underwent colonoscopy at the Digestive Diseases Hospital, Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital from January to June 2023 were continuously enrolled in the randomized controlled trial and randomly divided into 3 groups using the random number table. Intestinal preparation was conducted according to the protocols of each group, Group A: 3 L PEG; Group B: 3 L OSS; Group C: 290 μg of linaclotide + 2 L PEG. The effects of bowel preparation, adverse reactions, satisfaction, and willingness for repeated bowel preparation were compared.Results:A total of 360 patients were included in the analysis, with 120 patients in each group. There were no statistically significant differences in the median Boston bowel preparation score for each intestinal segment or the total score among the 3 groups (left colon: 3 VS 2 VS 3, H=0.371, P=0.831; transverse colon: 3 VS 3 VS 3, H=0.487, P=0.784; right colon: 2 VS 2 VS 2, H=1.088, P=0.580; total score: 8 VS 8 VS 8, H=0.017, P=0.991). Among the adverse reactions, the incidence of nausea and vomiting in Group B [3.33% (4/120)] was lower than that in Group A [12.50% (15/120), χ2=8.042, P=0.018], and there were no statistically significant differences in other adverse reactions among the 3 groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the satisfaction level among the 3 groups ( χ2=11.840, P=0.158). The willingness to undergo bowel preparation again in Group C [95.83% (115/120)] and Group B [96.67% (116/120)] was higher than that in Group A [85.00% (102/120)] (Group C VS Group A: χ2=8.127, P=0.004; Group B VS Group A: χ2=9.808, P=0.002), and there was no significant difference between Group C and B ( χ2=0.000, P=1.000). Conclusion:Linaclotide combined with 2 L PEG offers comparable bowel preparation efficacy and safety to 3 L PEG or 3 L OSS, with improved patient compliance due to reduced water intake, suggesting its potential as an enhanced bowel preparation regimen.

Objective:To analyze the clinical manifestations and fundus multimodal imaging features of patients with acute Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome, and provide a reference for early diagnosis of VKH syndrome.Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data and related examinations including spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) of patients diagnosed with acute VKH syndrome in the Ophthalmology Department of the Beijing Friendship Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022.Results:A total of 17 patients (34 eyes) with acute VKH syndrome were included. SD-OCT showed exudative retinal detachment in all 34 eyes with punctate hyperreflective signals; 26 eyes had choroidal folds, and 14 patients (28 eyes) had " septum-like" structures under the neuroepithelium. FFA early images showed late retinal fluorescence pooling in a multi-lake pattern in all 34 eyes. ICGA was performed in 15 patients (30 eyes), with early images showing hyperfluorescence of choroidal vessels in all 30 eyes; 26 eyes had scattered hypofluorescent lesions in the fundus. Mid-to-late images showed blurred boundaries of choroidal vessels in 28 eyes.Conclusions:Patients with acute VKH syndrome have characteristic manifestations in SD-OCT, FFA, and ICGA. Fundus multimodal imaging can provide important references for the diagnosis of VKH syndrome.
