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 elucidate the epidemiological characteristics, evolution of the pathogen spectrum, and spatial distribution patterns of other infectious diarrheal diseases (excluding cholera, typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and bacillary dysentery) in Yangpu District of Shanghai from 2005 to 2024, thereby providing a scientific basis for the formulation of targeted prevention and control strategies. MethodsInformation on other infectious diarrhea cases with a current address in Yangpu District of Shanghai, and onset dates from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2024, was extracted from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Information System. Data on cases, including gender, age, occupation, and pathogen testing results, were collected. Descriptive epidemiological methods were employed to analyze the temporal, spatial, and demographic distribution of reported incidence rates and the epidemiological characteristics of pathogens for other infectious diarrheal diseases in Yangpu District from 2005 to 2024. Spatial autocorrelation analyses of reported incidence rates for viral and bacterial diarrhea were conducted using Moran’s Index (Moran’s I). Local spatial autocorrelation analyses were performed using local indicators of spatial association (LISA), with a first-order Queen contiguity spatial weight matrix, and significance was tested via 999 random permutations. Time-series and radar chart analyses were used to examine the temporal patterns of other infectious diarrhea cases caused by major pathogens. ResultsFrom 2005 to 2024, a total of 5 211 cases of other infectious diarrhea were reported in Yangpu District. The cases were predominantly males (2 714 cases, accounting for 52.08%) and children under 5 years of age (1 639 cases, accounting for 31.45%). The primary occupational groups were scattered children (1 433 cases, accounting for 27.50%) and retired personnel (1 403 cases, accounting for 26.92%). The annual average reported incidence rate was 20.36/100 000, showing an overall fluctuating trend with peaks around 2009 and 2024. Peak incidence occurred in summer and autumn (July‒September), with the highest reported incidence rate observed in summer (June‒August) (7.31/100 000). Children under 5 years of age (116.00/100 000) and adults aged 60 and older (21.39/100 000) were the top two age groups in terms of reported incidence. Global spatial autocorrelation analyses showed that the reported incidence rates of viral diarrhea across the sub-districts in Yangpu District in 2020 exhibited a significant positive spatial correlation (Moran’s I =0.30, P=0.016). The spatial autocorrelation of reported incidence rates of viral diarrhea in each sub-district for the periods 2008‒2019 and 2021‒2024 was not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Local spatial autocorrelation analyses of viral diarrhea incidence in 2020 revealed that Xinjiangwancheng Sub-district exhibited a low‑low clustering trend (local Moran’s I =0.49, P=0.018), while Dinghai Road Sub-district exhibited a high‑high clustering trend (local Moran’s I =1.33, P=0.024). The global spatial autocorrelation of reported incidence rates of bacterial diarrhea across the sub-districts of Yangpu District from 2005 to 2024 was not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Among the 5 211 cases, 4 049 had definitive pathogen test results. Bacterial diarrhea accounted for a relatively high proportion (55.52%, 2 248/4 049). The pathogens with the highest proportions were rotavirus (32.33%, 1 309/4 049), Vibrio spp. (31.69%, 1 283/4 049), Salmonella spp. (19.63%, 795/4 049), and norovirus (9.16%, 371/4 049). The radar chart showed that diarrhea cases caused by norovirus had no obvious seasonality, rotavirus cases were mainly concentrated in winter, and cases caused by Salmonella spp. and Vibrio spp. were mainly concentrated in summer and autumn. Among cases under 20 years of age, rotavirus accounted for a relatively high proportion, especially in children under 5 years of age. Among cases aged 20 years and older, Vibrio spp. and Salmonella spp. accounted for relatively high proportions. ConclusionFrom 2005 to 2024, other infectious diarrhea in Yangpu District of Shanghai was most prevalent in summer and autumn. Children under 5 years of age and adults aged 60 years and older were high-risk groups. In 2020, Dinghai Road Sub-district was a high-risk area for viral diarrhea. Rotavirus, Vibrio spp., Salmonella spp., and norovirus were the dominant pathogens. Prevention and control efforts for other infectious diarrhea should be strengthened among key populations (e.g., children under 5 years of age and adults aged 60 years and older) and in high-risk areas such as Dinghai Road Sub-district. During summer and autumn, priority should be given to the prevention and control of bacterial diarrhea caused by Salmonella spp. and Vibrio spp., especially among individuals aged 20 years and older (particularly those aged 60 and above). During winter, priority should be given to the prevention and control of diarrhea caused by rotavirus infection among individuals under 20 years of age, particularly children under 5 years of age.

The classic formula Fangji Fulingtang is from ZHANG Zhongjing's Synopsis of the Golden Chamber in the Eastern Han dynasty. It is composed of Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix, Astragali Radix, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Poria, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, with the effects of reinforcing Qi and invigorating spleen, warming Yang and promoting urination. By a review of ancient medical books, this paper summarizes the composition, original plants, processing, dosage, decocting methods, indications and other key information of Fangji Fulingtang, aiming to provide a literature basis for the research, development, and clinical application of preparations based on this formula. Synonyms of Fangji Fulingtang exist in ancient medical books, while the formula composition in the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber is more widespread and far-reaching. In this formula, Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix, Astragali Radix, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Poria, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma are the dried root of Stephania tetrandra, the dried root of Astragalus embranaceus var. mongholicus, the dried shoot of Cinnamomum cassia, the dried sclerotium of Poria cocos, and the dried root and rhizome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, respectively. Fangji Fulingtang is mainly produced into powder, with the dosage and decocting method used in the past dynasties basically following the original formula. Each bag is composed of Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix 13.80 g, Astragali Radix 13.80 g, Cinnamomi Ramulus 13.80 g, Poria 27.60 g, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma 9.20 g. The raw materials are purified, decocted in water from 1 200 mL to 400 mL, and the decoction should be taken warm, 3 times a day. Fangji Fulingtang was originally designed for treating skin edema, and then it was used to treat impediment in the Qing dynasty. In modern times, it is mostly used to treat musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases and circulatory system diseases, demonstrating definite effects on various types of edema and heart failure. This paper clarifies the inheritance of Fangji Fulingtang and reveals its key information (attached to the end of this paper), aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the development of preparations based on this formula.

Objective:To evaluate the value of ultrasound radiomics combined with machine learning for early diagnosis of seronegative Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (SN-HT) .Methods:This retrospective study included 164 patients from Liaoning Provincial People’s Hospital , Lixin County People’s Hospital, Linghai Dalinghe Hospital, Fengcheng Phoenix Hospital, who underwent thyroidectomy for solitary nodules with normal thyroid function between Nov. 2016 and Jan. 2024. Postoperative pathology confirmed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) in some cases, who were further categorized into antibody-positive and antibody-negative groups based on serum antibody status. Patients without Hashimoto’s thyroiditis served as the control group. A total of 298 ultrasound images were analyzed. Radiomics features were extracted from hypoechoic non-nodular areas within 0.5 cm surrounding the tumor. Two senior pathologists and two senior ultrasound physicians independently assessed lymphocytic infiltration, eosinophilic changes of follicular epithelium, and the proportion of hypoechoic areas in pathology and ultrasound images, respectively. A machine learning model, CCH-NET, was developed using linear regression and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) techniques. The dataset was divided into a training set (80%) and a validation set (20%) to compare the diagnostic accuracy of CCH-NET with that of senior ultrasound physicians. Results:In internal validation, CCH-NET achieved a diagnostic accuracy of 88.89% for both antibody-positive and antibody-negative groups, significantly higher than the 66.67% accuracy of senior ultrasound physicians ( P<0.01). In external validation, CCH-NET achieved 75.00% and 66.67% accuracy for the two groups, compared to 50.00% by senior ultrasound physicians. For the control group, both methods achieved 93.33% accuracy. The AUC of CCH-NET was 0.848, outperforming senior ultrasound physicians (0.681) ,demonstrating superior diagnostic performance. Conclusion:The radiomics-based CCH-NET model, using non-nodular hypoechoic areas as a specific indicator, can accurately identify early SN-HT in euthyroid patients. It significantly outperforms senior ultrasound physicians, improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing missed diagnoses.

Houpo Sanwutang, included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Prescriptions (Second Batch), was first recorded in the Synopsis of Golden Chamber written by ZHANG Zhongjing from the Eastern Han dynasty and was modified by successive generations of medical experts. A total of 37 pieces of effective data involving 37 ancient Chinese medical books were retrieved from different databases. Through literature mining, statistical analysis, and data processing, combined with modern articles, this study employed bibliometrics to investigate the historical origin, composition, decoction methods, clinical application, and other key information. The results showed that the medicinal origin of Houpo Sanwutang was clearly documented in classic books. Based on the conversion of the measurements from the Han Dynasty, it is recommended that 110.4 g Magnolia Officinalis Cortex, 55.2 g Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, and 72 g Aurantii Fructus Immaturus should be taken. Magnolia Officinalis Cortex and Aurantii Fructus Immaturus should be decocted with 2 400 mL water first, and 1 000 mL should be taken from the decocted liquid. Following this, Rhei Radix et Rhizoma should be added for further decoction, and then 600 mL should be taken from the decocted liquid. A single dose of administration is 200 mL, and the medication can be stopped when patients restore smooth bowel movement. Houpo Sanwutang has the effect of moving Qi, relieving stuffiness and fullness, removing food stagnation, and regulating bowels. It can be used in treating abdominal distending pain, guarding, constipation, and other diseases with the pathogenesis of stagnated heat and stagnated Qi in the stomach. The above results provide reference for the future development and research of Houpo Sanwutang.
