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.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of posaconazole for the prevention of invasive fungal infections (IFIs). METHODS PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang data and other Chinese and English databases were searched, as well as the official websites of related health technology assessment (HTA). Systematic review (SR)/meta-analysis, pharmacoeconomic studies, and HTA reports of posaconazole for the prevention of IFIs were collected. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to November 1, 2025. After screening the literature, extracting the data, and evaluating the quality of the literature, the results of the included studies were descriptively analyzed. RESULTS A total of 45 studies were included, involving 17 SR/meta-analyses, 26 pharmacoeconomic studies, 1 SR/meta-analysis combined with a pharmacoeconomic study, and 1 HTA report. In terms of effectiveness, posaconazole was significantly superior to other antifungal drugs (eg., fluconazole, itraconazole) in reducing the incidence of IFIs, the incidence of invasive aspergillosis, all-cause mortality, and IFI-related mortality ( P <0.05). In terms of safety, posaconazole was significantly superior to other antifungal drugs in the incidence of total adverse reactions ( P <0.05), but there was no significant difference in the incidence of serious adverse reactions, the incidence of gastrointestinal advers e reactions, drug-induced liver injury, and the withdrawal rate due to adverse drug reactions ( P >0.05). In terms of cost-effectiveness, most studies have shown that posaconazole possesses more cost-effectiveness advantages. CONCLUSIONS Posaconazole demonstrates favorable efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness in preventing IFIs.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Yifei Jianpi prescription on the of signal transducer and activator of transcription protein 1 (STAT1)/interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) signaling pathway in a pneumonia model induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and to explore the mechanism of Yifei Jianpi prescription in improving lung immune and inflammatory responses. MethodsSixty male SPF SD rats were used in this study. Ten rats were randomly assigned to the normal control group, and the remaining 50 were instilled with LPS in the trachea to establish a pneumonia model. After successful modeling, the rats were randomly divided into the model group, dexamethasone group (0.5 mg·kg-1), and Yifei Jianpi prescription high-dose (12 mg·kg-1), medium-dose (6 mg·kg-1), and low-dose (3 mg·kg-1) groups, with 10 rats in each group. Treatment was administered once daily, and the normal control and model groups received the same volume of normal saline. After 14 days, flow cytometry was used to detect the classification of whole blood lymphocytes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure serum levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin M (IgM), and the content of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in alveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe lung tissue pathology and score the damage. Thymus weight, spleen weight, and wet-to-dry weight ratio (W/D) were recorded. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression of STAT1, IRF3, IL-6, and interferon-alpha (IFN-α) in lung tissues, while Western blot was performed to assess the protein expression of STAT1, IRF3, IL-6, and IFN-α. ResultsCompared with the normal control group, the model group showed significantly increased proportion of B lymphocytes in peripheral blood, decreased proportions of NK cells and CD4+/CD8+ (P<0.05, P<0.01), decreased serum levels of IgG and IgA, significantly increased IgM levels (P<0.01), significantly elevated content of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 in BALF, and significantly decreased IL-10 levels (P<0.01). Lung tissue damage was evident, with significant increases in thymus and spleen weights and a higher W/D ratio (P<0.01). The mRNA and protein expression of STAT1, IRF3, IFN-α, and IL-6 in lung tissues was significantly upregulated (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the Yifei Jianpi prescription groups showed significantly reduced proportions of B lymphocytes in peripheral blood, increased proportions of NK cells and CD4+/CD8+ ratios (P<0.05, P<0.01), significantly increased serum levels of IgG and IgA, significantly decreased IgM levels (P<0.05, P<0.01), significantly reduced levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 in BALF, and significantly increased IL-10 levels (P<0.01). Lung tissue damage was alleviated, thymus and spleen weights were significantly reduced, and the W/D ratio was markedly decreased (P<0.01). The mRNA and protein expression of STAT1, IRF3, IFN-α, and IL-6 in lung tissues was significantly downregulated (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionYifei Jianpi prescription can alleviate lung tissue damage and improve immune and inflammatory responses in LPS-induced pneumonia rats. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of STAT1/IRF3 signaling pathway activation.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of a domestically developed small esophageal cooling device in implementing targeted temperature management (TTM) after resuscitation and its impact on organ injury using a porcine model of cardiac arrest and resuscitation.Methods:Thirty healthy male domestic white pigs were randomly divided into four groups using a random number table: sham (S group, n=6), normothermia (NT group, n=8), surface cooling (SC group, n=8), and esophageal cooling (EC group, n=8). The S group underwent only surgical preparation, while the other groups were subjected to 12 minutes of ventricular fibrillation followed by 6 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation to establish cardiac arrest. The S and NT groups maintained a core temperature of (37.5±0.5)°C using a surface blanket. In the SC and EC groups, therapeutic hypothermia was induced post-resuscitation via surface blanket or esophageal cooling catheter to achieve a target temperature of 34°C, maintained the target temperature (34±0.5)°C for 6 hours, followed by controlled rewarming at 0.5°C/h to 37°C. Core temperature was continuously monitored for 12 hours post-resuscitation. Hemodynamic parameters, including stroke volume (SV), global ejection fraction (GEF), extravascular lung water index (ELWI), and pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI), were assessed using pulse indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) monitoring. Serum levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), creatinine (Cr), and intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (IFABP) were measured via ELISA at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours post-resuscitation. Neurological outcomes were evaluated at 24 hours using the neurological deficit score (NDS) and cerebral performance category (CPC). Continuous variables were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Results:During TTM, the EC group exhibited a faster cooling rate [(1.52±0.18)°C/h vs. (0.94±0.32)°C/h, P<0.05] and shorter time to target temperature [(2.32±0.43) h vs. (3.78±0.82) h, P<0.05] compared to the SC group, with comparable maintenance and rewarming ( P>0.05). Compared to the S group, the NT, SC, and EC groups demonstrated significant post-resuscitation multi-organ injury, characterized by reduced SV and GEF, elevated ELWI and PVPI, and increased serum cTnI, NSE, Cr, IFABP, NDS, and CPC scores (all P<0.05). Relative to the NT group, the SC and EC groups showed improved SV (at 1 h post-resuscitation), GEF (at 1, 2, 4, and 6 h), ELWI (at 12 h), and reduced cTnI and NSE (at 6 h), Cr and IFABP (at 2 h), and NDS and CPC (at 24 h) (all P<0.05). Compared to the SC group, the EC group exhibited lower PVPI (at 12 h), reduced cTnI, Cr, and IFABP (at 2 h), decreased NSE (at 2, 12, and 24 h), and improved NDS (at 24 h) (all P<0.05). Conclusions:In a porcine model of cardiac arrest and resuscitation, the domestic esophageal cooling device facilitated rapid induction, stable maintenance, and controlled rewarming during TTM, outperforming traditional surface cooling. This approach demonstrated superior organ protection, warranting further investigation.

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.

High-performance phototheranostics with combined photothermal therapy and photoacoustic imaging have been considered promising approaches for efficient cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, developing phototheranostic materials with efficient photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE), especially over the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm), remains challenging. Herein, we report an ultraefficient NIR-II-activated nanomedicine with phototheranostic and vaccination capability for highly efficient in vivo tumor elimination and metastasis inhibition. The NIR-II nanomedicine of a semiconducting biradical oligomer with a motor-flexible design was demonstrated with a record-breaking PCE of 87% upon NIR-II excitation. This nanomedicine inherently features extraordinary photothermal stability, good biocompatibility, and excellent photoacoustic performance, contributing to high-contrast photoacoustic imaging in living mice and high-performance photothermal elimination of tumors. Moreover, a whole-cell vaccine based on a NIR-II nanomedicine with NIR-II-activated performance was further designed to remotely activate the antitumor immunologic memory and effectively inhibit tumor occurrence and metastasis in vivo, with good biosafety. Thus, this work paves a new avenue for designing NIR-II active semiconducting biradical materials as a promising theranostics platform and further promotes the development of NIR-II nanomedicine for personalized cancer treatment.
