Edema， as a common pathological phenomenon， is essentially the abnormal accumulation of body fluids in the interstitial spaces of human tissues and is often a direct manifestation of various underlying diseases， such as heart failure， impaired renal filtration function， or liver metabolic disorders. In the Western medical system， strategies for treating edema primarily focus on the use of diuretics to promote the excretion of excess fluid in the body， while simultaneously addressing the underlying causes through targeted treatment. However， long-term reliance on the use of diuretics may lead to a decrease in drug sensitivity and induce side effects， including electrolyte disorders such as hypokalemia and hypercalcemia， posing a potential threat to patients' overall health. Compared with Western medicine， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has demonstrated well-recognized and sustained efficacy in treating edema with its unique theoretical system. Zhulingtang， as a classic and commonly used TCM formula， is widely applied as it can effectively relieve edema and related symptoms. In recent years， ongoing in-depth studies on the treatment of edema with Zhulingtang have revealed multiple mechanisms of action of Zhulingtang， including the regulation of water metabolism and the reduction of inflammatory responses， thereby providing a solid theoretical basis for clinical practice. This review summarized the research progress on the treatment of edema with Zhulingtang in recent years and analyzed the active ingredients and action pathways of Zhulingtang. Additionally， the primary mechanisms of action and efficacy were systematically analyzed， so as to provide references for the clinical application of Zhulingtang in treating various types of edema， such as cardiogenic edema， renal edema， and hepatogenic edema. This review aims to offer theoretical support and practical guidance for clinicians in deciding treatment approaches， as well as references for subsequent in-depth studies， thereby promoting further development of TCM in the treatment of edema.

Objective:To compare the pregnancy outcomes of surviving fetuses in monochorionic diam-niotic(MCDA)twin pregnancies after selective feticide or spontaneous single intrauterine fetal demise(sIUFD),and to explore the influencing factors of prognosis.Methods:A total of 219 cases of intra-uterine death of one fetus in MCDA twin pregnancies admitted to Peking University Third Hospital from September 2010 to August 2021 were collected.According to the mode of fetal death,they were divided into the spontaneous sIUFD group(120 cases)and the selective feticide group(99 cases).Data on the maternal conditions during pregnancy,the situation of the intrauterine-dead fetus,and pregnancy out-comes were collected for retrospective case-analysis.Results:The live-birth rates of surviving fetuses in the spontaneous sIUFD group and the selective feticide group were 85.0％and 81.8％respectively,and the total perinatal survival rates of surviving fetuses were 73.3％and 81.8％respectively,and there were no statistically significant differences.Compared with the spontaneous sIUFD group,the selective feticide group had a greater gestational week at delivery,and lower rate of preterm birth before 37 weeks,neonatal asphyxia,and early neonatal mortality.Using the gestational week at delivery as the outcome variable,Cox regression analysis showed that the mode of fetal death was not a risk factor affecting the gestational week at delivery of the surviving fetus,while gestational hypertension and the gestational week of fetal death were independent risk factors affecting the gestational week at delivery of the surviving fetus.Using preterm birth before 37 weeks,intrauterine death of the surviving fetus,and abnormal neonatal cranial ultrasound as outcome variables respectively,unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that the mode of fetal death,the gestational week of fetal death,the position of the dead fetus,and fetal complications were independent risk factors affecting the outcomes of the above-mentioned survi-ving fetuses.According to the results of the univariate analysis,the above risk factors were included in the multivariate regression analysis,and the results were the same as those of the univariate analysis.Conclusion:For MCDA twin pregnancy patients with severe twin-related complications,the prognosis of surviving fetuses after selective feticide is better.The proactive intrauterine intervention and treatment are of great significance for improving the prognosis of surviving fetuses.

Objective: To study the effects of Phellodendron amurense on herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and cytokines, and to explore the mechanism of Phellodendron amurense inhibiting HSV-1 virus through multiple channels. Methods: Viruses were inoculated into medicine treated HeLa cells. The proliferation of virus was observed by fluorescence microscopy. The transcriptional levels of glycoprotein gD and functional protein US1 on the surface of virus envelope were detected by quantitative (q) PCR. After incubating HeLa cells for 24 h, qPCR was used to detect the expression of intrinsic immune factors such as IP-10, IL-12, IFN-gamma and transcription factor NF-kappa B (P65). The expression and nuclear location of NF-kappa B (P65) protein were detected by immunofluorescence. Results: Fluorescence showed that the proliferation of virus decreased significantly at 8 and 40 ng/ml (P<0.01), and the transcription levels of viral protein gD and US1 decreased (P<0.05). After incubation for 24 hours, the transcription levels of IP-10, IL-12 and IFN-gamma in HeLa cells increased significantly (P<0.01). The transcription level of transcription factor NF-kappa B (P65) also increased (P<0.05), and immunofluorescence showed that the nuclear penetration rate of p65 subunit of NF-kappa B (P65) in each group increased (P<0.05). Conclusions Phellodendron amurense extract can inhibit HSV-1 by inhibiting the transcription of viral functional protein and promoting the expression of cellular immune factors.

Objective: To study the clinicopathologic features, immunophenotype, characteristic FISH pattern and prognosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) associated with chromosome X inversion harboring gene fusions involving TFE3. Methods: Ten cases of NONO-TFE3 RCC and four cases of RBM10-TFE3 RCC were investigated at Nanjing Jinling Hospital from 2009 to 2016 by clinicopathological findings, immunohistochemistry, and genetic analysis. Results: Morphologically, the distinct pattern of secretory endometrioid subnuclear vacuolization was overlapped with clear cell papillary RCC, and often accompanied by sheets of epithelial cells in NONO-TFE3 RCC. Most cases of RBM10-TFE3 RCC presented with the biphasic feature that acinar, tubular and papillary patterns of epithelioid cells combined with sheets of small cells with "pseudorosette-like" architectures. In addition, cytoplasmic vacuolization, nuclear groove, and psammoma bodies were also observed. Immunohistochemically, all NONO-TFE3 RCC cases were immunoreactive for TFE3, CD10, RCC markers, and PAX8, and negative for CK7, Cathepsin K, Melan A, HMB45, Ksp-cadherin, vimentin, and CD117. All 4 cases of RBM10-TFE3 RCC showed moderate to strong immunoreactivity for TFE3, Cathepsin K, CD10, Ksp-cadherin, E-cadherin, P504s, RCC marker, PAX8, and vimentin but negative for TFEB, HMB45 and CK7. CKpan and Melan A were at least focally expressed. The antibody to Ki-67 showed labeling of 3%-8% (mean 5%). There were some expression discrepancies of immunochemistry between different histological patterns. PAX8, CKpan, P504s, and Ksp-cadherin were expressed in epithelioid areas but not in small-cell areas. Ki-67 labeling index of epithelioid areas was higher than that in small-cell areas. In molecular analysis, NONO-TFE3 fusion transcripts were identified in 6 patients. The fusion points were between exon 7 of NONO and exon 6 of TFE3 in 5 patients and between exon 9 of NONO and exon 5 of TFE3 in one patient. All 4 cases of RBM10-TFE3 RCC demonstrated to have RBM10-TFE3 fusion transcripts and the fusion points were between exon 5 of TFE3 and exon 17 of RBM10. Using TFE3 break-apart FISH assay, all 10 cases of NONO-TFE3 RCC showed characteristic patterns of equivocal split signals with a distance of nearly 2 signal diameters. All 4 cases of RBM10-TFE3 RCC showed colocalized or subtle split signals with a distance of <1 signal diameter, which was considered as negative results. Long-term follow-up was available for 7 patients of NONO-TFE3 RCC and 4 patients of RBM10-TFE3 RCC. All patients were alive with no evidence of disease. Conclusions Two rare genotypes, NONO-TFE3 RCC and RBM10-TFE3 RCC, are reported in this study. Both of these two tumors show specific morphology and good prognosis, along with the positive TFE3 staining and the equivocal or false-negative TFE3 FISH results, which could be missed. PCR detection or next-generation sequencing can determine the genotype.
