This article systematically analyzes the historical evolution of the name， origin， quality evaluation， harvesting， processing and other aspects of Picrorhizae Rhizoma by referring to the medical books， prescription books， and other documents of the past dynasties， combined with relevant modern research materials， in order to provide a basis for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing this medicinal herb. The research results indicate that Picrorhizae Rhizoma was first recorded in New Revised Materia Medica from the Tang dynasty. Throughout history， Huhuanglian has been used as its official name， and there are also aliases such as Gehu Luze， Jiahuanglian and Hulian. The main source of past dynasties is the the rhizomes of Picrorhiza kurrooa and P. scrophulariiflora. In ancient times， Picrorhizae Rhizoma was mainly imported by foreign traders via Guangzhou and other regions， and also produced in China， mainly in Xizang. In ancient times， it was harvested and dried in early August of the lunar calendar， while in modern times， it is mostly harvested from July to September， with the best quality being those with thick and crispy rhizomes without impurities， and bitter taste. Throughout history， Picrorhizae Rhizoma was collected， washed， sliced， and dried before being used as a raw material for medicine， it has a bitter and cold taste， mainly used to treat bone steaming， hot flashes， infantile chancre fever， and dysentery. There is no significant difference in taste and efficacy between ancient and modern times. Based on the research results， it is recommended that the rhizomes of P. scrophulariiflora in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia， or the rhizomes of P. kurrooa， can be used in famous classical formulas containing this medicinal herb， which can be processed according to the processing requirements marked by the original formula. For those without clear processing requirements， the dried raw products are used as medicine.

Osteoporosis （OP） is a systemic metabolic disease with a strong correlation with age. The prevalence of osteoporosis is rising annually as a consequence of the growing issue of population ageing. The current treatments for OP have numerous shortcomings. In contrast， traditional Chinese medicine has a long history and a rich species diversity. Furthermore， recent years have seen an increase in the number of studies examining the anti-OP properties of traditional Chinese medicine. This may provide a safe and effective alternative strategy for the treatment of OP. The zebrafish， due to its favourable optical transparency and high homology with human genes， has been extensively employed as an animal research model in the investigation of human skeletal-related disease mechanisms and drug screening. This paper presents a review of anti-osteoporosis studies of traditional Chinese medicine using zebrafish as a model for osteoporosis. It also provides a summary of the experimental evaluation methods involved in such studies， an analysis of the current status of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of osteoporosis using zebrafish as a model， and a summary of the mechanism of action and the signalling pathways involved in traditional Chinese medicine in the anti-osteoporosis treatment of zebrafish. The current research status of Chinese medicine in the treatment of OP was analysed， as well as the mechanism of action of Chinese medicine against OP and the signalling pathways involved. Furthermore， the advantages and disadvantages of various zebrafish modelling methods of OP were compared with those of traditional animal models. The objective of this study is to provide a reference for the evaluation method of the zebrafish model in the study of bone-related diseases， as well as for the study of the mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine against OP and for the reference of the research and development of new drugs.

Zhigancao Tang （also known as Fumaitang） is a classic formula for treating "intermittent pulse and palpitations" and is widely used in clinical practice. Sanjia Fumaitang， included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Formulas （First Batch） published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine of China in 2018， is derived from this formula. This paper employed bibliometric methods to comprehensively investigate and summarize the historical evolution， drug composition， herb origins and preparation， prescription meanings， and ancient and modern applications of Zhigancao Tang， analyzed the composition and usage of Zhigancao Tang， and discussed the reasons and applications of the "Fumaitang" variants created by Wu Jutong. A total of 47 valid pieces of data from 38 ancient texts were included. Results showe that Zhigancao Tang originates from the Treatise on Cold Damage （Shang Han Lun）， and the name "Fumaitang" is also recorded in the formula's description. Converted to modern measurements from the Han dynasty system， the recommended preparation for Zhigancao Tang includes 55.2 g of fried Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， 41.4 g of Cinnamomi Ramulus， 27.6 g of Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma， 220 g of fresh Rehmannia glutinosa， 27.6 g of Asini Corii Colla， 53 g of Ophiopogonis Radix， 45 g of Cannabis Fructus， and 90 g of Jujubae Fructus. All herbs should be decocted with 1 400 mL of yellow rice wine and 1 600 mL of water until 600 mL. Once the Asini Corii Colla is fully dissolved， the decoction should be taken warm at a dosage of 200 mL， three times a day. Zhigancao Tang is effective for replenishing Qi， warming Yang， nourishing Yin， and nourishing blood and is primarily used to treat “intermittent pulse and palpitations” caused by deficiencies in heart Yin and Yang， as well as malnutrition of the heart meridian and conditions like lung atrophy. Modern applications mainly focus on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases， including arrhythmias， coronary heart disease， and premature ventricular contractions. The findings from this research provide a reference for the further development of Zhigancao Tang.

Objective:To identify the development trajectories of self-neglect behavior in older adults and explore the associated influencing factors.Methods:A fixed cohort was constructed based on the data from three surveys of Chinese longitudinal healthy longevity survey (CLHLS) from 2011 to 2018. A total of eight variables from 4 dimensions including living environment, lifestyle, social interaction, and health care were selected to evaluate self-neglect. Group-based trajectory model was used to identify the development trajectory of self-neglect behavior in the older adults, and polynomial Logistic regression model was used to explore its influencing factors by Stata 16.1.Results:Finally, 2 754 older adults aged 60 and above were included.The development trajectory of self-neglect behavior in older adults, based on the group-based trajectory model, can be classified into stable-low group ( n=268, 9.7%), descending-moderate group ( n=2 224, 80.8%), and decreasing-high group ( n=262, 9.5%). Polynomial Logistic regression showed that, compared with stable-low group, living in rural areas ( B=1.116, OR=3.053, 95% CI= 2.278-4.091) and higher activities of daily living scores( B=0.137, OR=1.147, 95% CI=1.046-1.258) were the risk factors of descending-moderate group. Education levels with 1-6 years( B=-0.398, OR=0.672, 95% CI=0.469-0.963), >6 years( B=-1.072, OR=0.342, 95% CI=0.229-0.513), being married( B=-0.476, OR=0.621, 95% CI=0.444-0.870), self-reported good health( B=-0.808, OR=0.446, 95% CI= 0.213-0.932), improved health status( B=-0.704, OR=0.495, 95% CI=0.320-0.766), self-reported average economic status( B=-1.065, OR=0.345, 95% CI=0.148-0.802), self-reported good economic status( B=-1.634, OR=0.195, 95% CI=0.082-0.467), and a higher cognition score( B=-0.142, OR=0.867, 95% CI=0.798-0.942) served as protective factors of descending-moderate group. In addition to the above factors, being in the age group of 75-89 years( B=0.481, OR=1.617, 95% CI=1.057-2.473) was a risk factor for decreasing-high group compared to stable-low group. Conclusions:Three types of self-neglect behavior trajectories among older adults were identified in this study, suggesting that physical health and economy are the influencing factors of the development trajectory of self-neglect of the elderly.

A novel technology is proposed for non-contact and real-time detection of atrial fibrillation using millimeter-wave radar.A 60 GHz PCR millimeter wave radar is used to continuously detect the chest echo signal of the subject.After signal acquisition,I-Q signal is generated through I-Q demodulation,and the signal phase information is extracted using effective points phase trend evaluation for obtaining the signals from oscillations in the chest wall,from which the respiratory signals and cardiac signals are extracted through digital filtering for the analysis of cardiac movement.Whether the atrial fibrillation occurs or not is determined by the characteristics of atrial fibrillation wave in the time domain.The effective points phase trend evaluation for extracting more accurate signal phase information and the time-domain method for real-time atrial fibrillation detection are the innovations of the study.The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a detection accuracy of 99.2%in clinic.

Objective To study the effect of Salidroside(Sal)on platelet activation and aggregation and the interaction between human platelets and MDA-MB-468 cells of breast cancer.Methods Human platelets were collected,platelet sus-pension was prepared,and platelets were treated with different concentrations of Sal.The effects of Sal on platelet activation and aggregation were detected by thromboelastogram(TEG)and flow cytometry.Breast cancer MDA-MB-468 cells were cul-tured in vitro,and human platelets were treated with different concentrations of Sal,and then activated by thrombin.The effects of Sal on the interaction between platelets and MDA-MB-468 cells were analyzed by adhesion test and scratch test.Re-sults TEG detection:The ADP inhibition rate in the blank control group was(10.97±12.69)%,and the ADP inhibition rate in all Sal intervention groups was higher than that in the blank control group(P＜0.05).The AA inhibition rate was(8.11±7.84)%in the control group and(25.96±15.18)%in the 5 μmol/L Sal intervention group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Flow cytometry:The expression of CD62P on platelet surface in 40 and 60 μmol/L Sal groups was(56.5±0.17)%and(65.50±0.36)%,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant compared with the positive control group(76.53±0.49)%(P＜0.05).The percentages of PAC-1 expression on platelet surface in 40 and 60 μmol/L Sal groups were(62.20±0.10)%and(58.47±0.15)%,and the difference was statistically significant com-pared with the positive control group(72.10±0.20)%(P＜0.05).Adhesion experiment:Platelets can have adhesion with MDA-MB-468 cells,and activated platelets have stronger adhesion ability.The adhesion rate in the Sal group was signifi-cantly lower than that in the positive control group,and was negatively correlated with the concentration of Sal.Scratch test:The cell mobility at 24 h in the positive control group was(12.71±0.70)%,and the cell mobility in each Sal treatment group was(4.51±0.44)%,(3.85±0.11)%,(5.37±0.36)%,(4.15±0.13)%and(3.55±0.38)%,respectively,showing significant decrease compared with the positive control group(P＜0.05).After 48 h of Sal treatment,the cell mobility of 10,20,40 and 60μmol/L Sal groups decreased,and there was a statistical difference compared with the positive control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Sal can inhibit the adhesion between activated platelets mediated by thrombin and MDA-MB-468 cells and the migration of MDA-MB-468 cells.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between sleep midpoint and sleep quality in insomnia patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:By adopting current situation investigation research, total of 150 T2DM patients hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from November 2021 to July 2022 were selected as the research objects. The general information questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), anxiety scale (SAS) and Depression Scale (SDS) were used to investigate, and then analysis the datum.Results:Among 150 T2DM insomnia patients, 41 cases (27.33%) were in the early midpoint sleep group, 37 cases (24.67%) were in the middle midpoint sleep group, and 72 cases (48.00%) were in the late midpoint sleep group. There were significant differences in the distribution of sex, age and BMI level among different sleep midpoint groups ( χ2=7.24, 13.36, 15.93, all P<0.05). The scores of time to fall asleep at the midpoint of sleep in the 3 groups were (2.12 ± 1.25), (2.65 ± 0.79), (2.33 ± 1.02), the difference was significant ( F=2.14, P<0.05); the daytime disability scores in the 3 groups were (1.39 ± 1.36), (2.16 ± 1.12), (1.85 ± 1.32), the difference was significant ( F=3.17, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis of disorder showed that the time to fall asleep ( OR=4.922, P<0.05) and daytime disability ( OR=4.043, P<0.05) had significant influence to the middle midpoint of sleep group when the early midpoint of sleep group as the control, while the male ( OR=2.182, P<0.05), 50 - 70 years old ( OR=5.005, P<0.05) and BMI over fat side ( OR=3.488, P<0.05) had significant influence to the late midpoint of sleep group. Conclusions:Medical staff should pay attention to the sleep quality of T2DM patients, pay attention to the sleep midpoint of patients, and improve patients′cognition of healthy sleep patterns.

Objective:To investigate the effects of four types of perforator flaps pedicled with cutaneous neurotrophic vessels in repairing wounds on the volar side of hands.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted. From May 2012 to July 2021, 122 patients with wounds on the volar side of hands who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Hand Surgery of the Second Hospital of Tangshan, including 74 males and 48 females, aged 18-76 years. There were 15 cases of palm injury alone, 101 cases of finger injury alone, and 6 cases of simultaneous palm and finger injury. The wounds with area ranging from 1.5 cm×1.2 cm to 15.0 cm×6.0 cm were all repaired by transplantation of perforator flaps pedicled with cutaneous neurotrophic vessels, including 16 cases of the ulnar artery perforator flap carrying the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve, 20 cases of the dorsal metacarpal artery perforator flap carrying the dorsal metacarpal cutaneous nerve, 21 cases of the digital artery dorsal perforator flap of thumb carrying the terminal branch of lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve, and 65 cases of the digital artery dorsal perforator flap of the 2 nd to 5 th finger carrying the dorsal branch of digital nerve, with the sizes of flaps ranging from 1.8 cm×1.4 cm to 20.0 cm×6.0 cm. High-frequency color Doppler ultrasonography was performed to locate and measure the perforators and cutaneous nerves of the flaps preoperatively. The cutaneous nerves carried by the flaps were all anastomosed with the nerves at the recipient sites during the operation. The donor sites were closed directly or repaired with split- or full-thickness free skin graft from the ipsilateral thigh or proximal medial forearm. The survival of the flaps and skin grafts at the flap donor sites, and the healing of incisions at the flap donor sites were observed postoperatively. The patients were followed up, and at the last follow-up, the static two-point discrimination distances of the flaps were measured, the degree of satisfaction of patients with the appearances of the flaps and flap donor sites were evaluated based on the evaluation criteria of Michigan Hand Function Questionnaire, and the functions of the affected hands were evaluated according to the trial criteria for upper limb function evaluation of the Hand Surgery Society of the Chinese Medical Association. Results:After surgery, the distal end of the ulnar artery perforator flap carrying the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve transplanted in one patient and the digital artery dorsal perforator flap of the 2 nd to 5 th finger carrying the dorsal branch of digital nerve transplanted in two patients were partially necrotic but healed after dressing change; the flaps transplanted in the other 119 patients all survived. All skin grafts at the flap donor sites survived, and all incisions at the flap donor sites healed after surgery. The follow-up period was 10 to 36 months, with an average of 16 months. At the last follow-up, the static two-point discrimination distances of the ulnar artery perforator flaps carrying the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve was 10 to 20 mm. Ten patients were strongly satisfied and 6 patients were satisfied in the evaluation of satisfaction with the appearance of the flaps. Seven patients were strongly satisfied and 9 patients were satisfied in the evaluation of satisfaction with the appearance of the flap donor sites. Functional evaluation of the affected hand was excellent in 7 cases, good in 7 cases, and fair in 2 cases. For the dorsal metacarpal artery perforator flap carrying the dorsal metacarpal cutaneous nerve, the static two-point discrimination distances of the flaps was 8 to 18 mm; 13 patients were strongly satisfied and 7 patients were satisfied in the evaluation of satisfaction with the appearance of the flaps; 10 patients were strongly satisfied and 10 patients were satisfied in the evaluation of satisfaction with the appearance of the flap donor sites; the functional evaluation of the affected hand was excellent in 11 cases, good in 7 cases, and fair in 2 cases. For the digital artery dorsal perforator flap of thumb carrying the terminal branch of lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve, the static two-point discrimination distances of the flaps was 6 to 11 mm; 17 patients were strongly satisfied and 4 patients were satisfied in the evaluation of satisfaction with the appearance of the flaps; 13 patients were strongly satisfied and 8 patients were satisfied in the evaluation of satisfaction with the appearance of the flap donor sites; the functional evaluation of the affected hand was excellent in 15 cases and good in 6 cases. For the digital artery dorsal perforator flap of the 2 nd to 5 th finger carrying the dorsal branch of digital nerve, the static two-point discrimination distances of the flaps was 5 to 12 mm; 43 patients were strongly satisfied and 22 patients were satisfied in the evaluation of satisfaction with the appearance of the flaps; 47 patients were strongly satisfied and 18 patients were satisfied in the evaluation of satisfaction with the appearance of the flap donor sites; the functional evaluation of the affected hands were excellent in 39 cases, good in 21 cases, and fair in 5 cases. Conclusions:With the assistance of high-frequency color Doppler ultrasonography, four types of perforator flaps pedicled with cutaneous neurotropic vessels which are used to repair different types of wounds on the volar side of the hand can have reliable blood supply, are easy to cut, cause minimal secondary damage to the donor area, and have good recovery of the flap sensation after surgery.

Objective To determine the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of hand，foot，and mouth disease （HFMD） in Pujiang County from 2008 through 2020， so as to provide scientific evidence for prevention and control measures. Methods Descriptive epidemiological analysis was used to analyze HFMD cases retrieved in the Chinese Information System for Disease Control and Prevention in Pujiang County during 2008‒2020. Results From 2008 through 2020， a total of 9 393 cases were documented in Pujiang County， with an annual incidence of 182.3 per 100 000， showing a trend of alternating high-incidence and low-incidence years. The seasonal distribution was bimodal， and the incidence peaked in May-July and November-December. The incidence of HFMD in urban areas was significantly higher than that in rural areas， and the incidence was positively correlated with population density. Majority of cases （94.9%） were children under 5 years old， of which boys had higher incidence than girls. The number of documented cases was the highest among preschool children living in families and kindergartens， accounting for 97.3%. Totally， 558 cases were laboratory confirmed in Pujiang County in 2008-2020， of which severe cases were all caused by EV71 infection. Conclusion Enterovirus serotypes in HFMD have continually changed from 2008 through 2020 in Pujiang County. However， severe HFMD remains principally attributable to EV71 infection， suggesting that it is necessary to strengthen the surveillance on the etiology of HFMD. In addition， it warrants further promotion of EV71 vaccination.
