In this paper, by referring to ancient and modern literature, the textual research of Inulae Flos has been conducted to clarify the name, origin, production area, quality evaluation, harvesting, processing and others, so as to provide reference and basis for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing this herb. After textual research, it could be verified that the medicinal use of Inulae Flos was first recorded in Shennong Bencaojing of the Han dynasty. In successive dynasties, Xuanfuhua has been taken as the official name, and it also has other alternative names such as Jinfeicao, Daogeng and Jinqianhua. The period before the Song and Yuan dynasties, the main origin of Inulae Flos was the Asteraceae plant Inula japonica, and from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the present, I. japonica and I. britannica are the primary source. In addition to the dominant basal species, there are also regional species such as I. linariifolia, I. helianthus-aquatili, and I. hupehensis. The earliest recorded production areas in ancient times were Henan, Hubei and other places, and the literature records that it has been distributed throughout the country since modern times. The medicinal part is its flower, the harvesting and processing method recorded in the past dynasties is mainly harvested in the fifth and ninth lunar months, and dried in the sun, and the modern harvesting is mostly harvested in summer and autumn when the flowers bloom, in order to remove impurities, dry in the shade or dry in the sun. In addition, the roots, whole herbs and aerial parts are used as medicinal materials. In ancient times, there were no records about the quality of Inulae Flos, and in modern times, it is generally believed that the quality of complete flower structure, small receptacles, large blooms, yellow petals, long filaments, many fluffs, no fragments, and no branches is better. Ancient processing methods primarily involved cleaning, steaming, and sun-drying, supplemented by techniques such as boiling, roasting, burning, simmering, stir-frying, and honey-processing. Modern processing focuses mainly on cleaning the stems and leaves before use. Regarding the medicinal properties, ancient texts describe it as salty and sweet in taste, slightly warm in nature, and mildly toxic. Modern studies characterize it as bitter, pungent, and salty in taste, with a slightly warm nature. Its therapeutic effects remain consistent across eras, including descending Qi, resolving phlegm, promoting diuresis, and stopping vomiting. Based on the research results, it is recommended that when developing famous classical formulas containing Inulae Flos, either I. japonica or I. britannica should be used as the medicinal source. Processing methods should follow formula requirements, where no processing instructions are specified, the raw products may be used after cleaning.

Objective:To observe the pathological changes of levator palpebrae superiors muscle in patients with different severities of simple congenital ptosis (SCP).Methods:Levator palpebrae superiors muscle specimens from 102 eyes of 68 patients with SCP who received levator palpebrae superiors muscle shortening surgery at Wuhan Aier Hankou Eye Hospital from August 2018 to October 2019 were collected as the observation group.According to the severity of ptosis, the specimens were divided into three groups, coverage ≤4 mm group (n=35), coverage >4 mm to ≤6 mm group (n=30), and coverage >6 mm group (n=37). Fresh levator palpebrae superiors muscle tissues from 8 normal donors in Aier Eye Bank of Wuhan Red Cross were selected as the control group.All specimens were performed with Masson trichrome staining and immunohistochemical staining for α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and ImageJ software was used to measure the collagen fiber area ratio, skeletal muscle fiber area ratio and the integrated absorbance (IA) value of α-SMA.Seventeen specimens (2 from the control group, 5 from coverage ≤4 mm group/coverage >4 mm to ≤6 mm group/coverage >6 mm group) were observed with a transmission electron microscope (TEM). This study protocol adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by an Ethics Committee of Wuhan Aier Hankou Eye Hospital (No.HKAIER2018IRB-005-01). All patients and their legal guardians were well informed about the treatment method and the purpose of sampling and voluntarily signed informed consent.Results:Compared with the control group, the skeletal muscle fiber was reduced in number and was in disordered arrangement, and the striation of some muscle fibers disappeared, and hyperplastic fibrous connective tissue was found in intercellular substances in the observation group.The collagen fiber area ratio of the coverage ≤4 mm group, coverage >4 mm to ≤6 mm group, coverage >6 mm group were significantly higher than that of the control group, and the skeletal muscle fiber area ratio of the three groups was significantly lower than that of the control group (all at P<0.008 3). There were more smooth muscle fibers and positive expression of α-SMA found in the specimens of the observation group.The IA value of α-SMA of the coverage ≤4 mm group, coverage >4 mm to ≤6 mm group, coverage >6 mm group was 7 195.28(5 935.69, 14 058.29), 55 584.18(33 861.88, 80 419.32), 166 507.76(119 121.95, 187 890.86), respectively, which were all higher than 5 543.03(4 867.67, 8 312.02) of the control group, among which, there were statistically significant differences between the control group and the coverage >4 mm to ≤6 mm group, coverage >6 mm group (both at P<0.008 3). Abundant organelles and some damaged mitochondria were found in smooth muscle cytoplasm in the observation group with a TEM.But no characteristic structure of smooth muscle cells such as dense patch and dense body was detected.Conclusions:There are abnormal smooth muscle cells in the levator palpebrae superiors muscle of SCP patients, and the dysgenesis of the levator palpebrae superiors muscle may be related to this abnormal muscle cell.

Objective:To explore the effect of sliding tarso-conjunctival flap combined with allogeneic scleral transplantation for one-stage reconstructing posterior eyelid defect.Methods:The clinical data of eyelid tumor patients who admitted to Hankou Aier Eye Hospital from January 2015 to March 2019 were selected. The lesions crossed the gray line and the tarsal plates were involved. The benign tumor was removed from the margin by 1—2 mm and the pathological examination was performed. Mohs method (intraoperative delivery of frozen sections to control the cut edge) resection was performed for malignant tumor. The residual tarsal plate in the vertical direction after tumor was removed (upper eyelid≥3 mm, lower eyelid ≥2 mm) . The posterior defect reconstruction was performed by sliding the residual tarsal conjunctival flap to the eyelid margin, and the posterior tarsal defect area was repaired with allogeneic sclera. The anterior defect was reconstructed with sliding flaps, rotating flaps and free skin grafts.Results:A total of 8 cases were selected, including 3 males and 5 females, aged 31—76 years, with an average of 42 years old. 2 cases of eyelid intradermal nevi, 1 case of eyelid basal cell carcinoma, 4 cases of eyelid adenocarcinoma, and 1 case of eyelid squamous cell carcinoma. All patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months. All of the 8 patients had no tumor recurrence. Except for the absence of eyelashes in the reconstructed area, the eyelids were in good shape. Patients did not complain about foreign body sensation. No allogeneic sclera dissolution or rejection.Conclusions:For the residual tarsal plate in the vertical direction after tumor resection (upper eyelid≥3 mm, lower eyelid≥2 mm). The use of the sliding tarso-conjunctival flap combined with allogeneic scleral transplantation to reconstruct the posterior layer of the eyelid defect can achieve satisfactory result in both appearance and function.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the management model of smart pharmacy under the background of “Internet+TCM”, and to promote the improvement of the work and service quality of smart pharmacy. METHODS: The information platform and internal organization of smart pharmacy in our hospital were combined; the supervision and management of smart pharmacy and the establishment of quality control system in smart pharmacy were summarized and the development and supervision effectiveness of smart pharmacy in our hospital were evaluated. RESULTS: Our hospital established the information platform on the basis of the “Internet+TCM”. Hospital information setting were divided into online and offline. The prescriptions that were not suitable for online handling decoction and distribution service were clearly defined and the system locking settings were set up to realize effective information transmission from hospital to smart pharmacy. The service platform of smart pharmacy were set up including electronic prescription circulation system, whole-course prescription barcode recognition management system, electronic prescription audit and dispensing system, intelligent decoction control management system, smart pharmacy distribution management system, etc. It had realized seamless connection of information between smart pharmacy and patients. The internal organization included six departments: prescription audit center, dispensing center, decoction center, individualized preparation production center, logistics center and customer service center. Our hospital conducted daily supervision and management of the entire work process of the smart pharmacy from aspect of hospital management and pharmacy management. The internal service quality of smart pharmacy could be controlled by quality control system of prescription reviewing center, dispensing center, decocting center, individualized preparation center, logistics center and customer service center and pharmaceutical personnel training mechanism in smart pharmacy. Since the start of the smart pharmacy in June 2015, the number of people receiving the services of smart pharmacy had increased significantly, and the types of services and service opportunities for patients had added; the distribution service had added, and the service of individualized preparation processing and distribution had also added. Moreover, the service capacity of smart pharmacy far exceeded the demand of our hospital, and other medical institutions could share the platform of smart pharmacy. By simply counting the situation in our hospital, the average number of daily prescription increased from 387 in Jun.-Dec. of 2015 to 1 433 in 2018; the error rate showed a downward trend, among which the abnormal rate of prescription reviewing, the dispensing error rate, the decoction error rate and customer service complaints rate decreased from 2.10%, 0.13%, 0.52%, 0.13% in Jun.-Dec. of 2015 to 0.45%, 0.05%, 0.27%, 0.04% in 2018; total timely investment rate in logistics increased from 93.20% in Jun.-Dec. of 2015 to 97.06% in 2018. At present, the existing information platform, internal organization, quality control system and supervision system could ensure the orderly operation of smart pharmacy and could ensure the quality of drugs, decoction and distribution. CONCLUSIONS: However, the development of smart pharmacy in our hospital is still in its infancy. In the future, it is still necessary to strengthen the construction of information software and hardware, standardize the operation of various links, strengthen personnel training, establish an effective quality control system and explore more objective supervision mechanisms.
