This paper summarizes professor LI Guolie's clinical experience in treating orthostatic hypotension (OH) based on the theory of "raising the clear and directing the turbid downward". It is considered that the core pathogenesis of OH lies in the body's transition from a supine to an upright position, during which dysfunction of the middle jiao (焦) transformation and transportation, along with impaired pivot function, hinders the ascending of clear yang and the descending of turbid yin. Treatment should follow the general principle of "ascending the clear and directing the turbid downward", placing emphasis on distinguishing the primary and secondary aspects. For cases where the clear yang fails to ascend, the self-formulated Li's Shengqing Jiangzhuo Decoction (李氏升清降浊汤)is used to supplement qi, raise the clear, and strengthen the middle jiao. For cases where the turbid yin fails to descend, the self-formulated Wuxiang Qingzhuo Beverage(五香清浊饮)with modifications is applied to resolve phlegm, eliminate stasis, harmonize the middle, and descend the turbid.

Objective:To investigate the age-specific distribution characteristics of plantar pressure parameters in healthy children aged 3-12 years.Methods:This cross-sectional study retrieved data from the hospital information system in January 2025 for 272 children aged 3-12 years who underwent physical examinations and voluntarily completed plantar pressure analysis at Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University, from July 2022 to December 2024. Demographic and clinical data, including anthropometric measurements (height and weight), flatfoot diagnosis and plantar pressure parameters (maximum pressure, time to maximum force, and contact time percentage in bilateral forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot) were recorded. Participants were categorized into 3 age groups (3-6 years, 7-9 years, and 10-12 years) and were grouped by gender as well. Intergroup comparisons used one-way ANOVA or least-significant difference test or χ2 tests. Spearman′s rank correlation assessed the relationship between flatfoot prevalence and age. Results:Among 272 children (143 boys, 129 girls), age groups comprised 3-6 years (118 children, 64 boys and 54 girls), 7-9 years (96 children, 49 boys and 47 girls), and 10-12 years (58 children, 30 boys and 28 girls). Flatfoot prevalence was higher in boys than in that of girls (41.3% (59/143) vs. 28.7% (37/129), χ2=4.70, P=0.030), and negatively correlated with age ( r=-0.21, P<0.001). There all had statistically differences in the maximum pressure values of the bilateral forefoot and hindfoot among the 3 age groups (all P<0.001), and after pairwise comparison, those of the group of aged 3-6 years were all the lowest, and those of the group of aged 10-12 years were all the highest (all P<0.05). The maximum pressure values of bilateral midfoot in the group of aged 10-12 years were all higher than those of the other two groups (all P<0.001). There had no statistically differences in the time maximum force value of the bilateral forefoot among the 3 age groups (all P>0.05). The time maximum force values of bilateral midfoot in the group of aged 3-6 years were all lower than those of the other two groups (all P<0.05). There all had statistically differences in the time maximum force value of the bilateral hindfoot among the 3 age groups (all P<0.001), and after pairwise comparison, those of the group of aged 3-6 years were all the lowest, and those of the group of aged 10-12 years were all the highest (all P<0.05). There all had statistically differences in the contact time percentage values of the bilateral forefoot among the 3 age groups (all P<0.001), and after pairwise comparison, those of the group of aged 3-6 years were all the lowest, and those of the group of aged 10-12 years were all the highest (all P<0.05). There had no statistically differences in the contact time percentage values of the bilateral midfoot among the 3 age groups (all P>0.05). There all had statistically differences in the contact time percentage values of the bilateral hindfoot among the 3 age groups (all P<0.001), and after pairwise comparison, those of the group of aged 3-6 years were all lower than those of the other two groups (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Plantar pressure parameters exhibit distinct age-related patterns, reflecting the development of gait patterns and foot arch formation, which will be useful for monitoring physical growth and sports rehabilitation.

This paper expounds Professor Li Guolie's academic thought and clinical experience in treating the halitosis of spleen and stomach damp-heat type based on the theory of"lightness removing excess".It is proposed that"lightness"has five meanings:light and clear medicinal properties,light dosage,concise compatibility,light decoction method and light treatment method;"excess"covers the syndromes of external and internal injuries,obstruction of qi mechanism and mixed deficiency and excess.The location of the halitosis of spleen and stomach damp-heat type is centered on the spleen and stomach in the middle energizer,involving the lungs,liver,and kidneys,with syndromes of mixed deficiency and excess;the core pathogenesis is the stagnation of qi mechanism in the mid-dle energizer and the diffusion of damp-heat turbid evil in the triple energizers.The theory of"lightness removing excess"is used to guide the treatment of spleen and stomach diseases of damp-heat type,and the treatment principle of"triple energizers being divided and eliminated,and lightness being able to penetrate and reach the evil"is proposed.The upper energizer is promoted to activate the pivot of qi transformation,the middle energizer is adjusted to restore the mechanism of ascending and descending,and the lower energi-zer is penetrated to guide the turbid evil out.The self-made"Wuxiang Qingzhuo Yin"is used to gargle to quickly remove the turbid e-vil and symptoms,forming an internal and external coordinated diagnosis and treatment method of"light dosage to regulate the pivot,ingenious method to clear the obstruction",which provides new ideas and theoretical basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of spleen and stomach diseases of damp-heat type.
