ObjectiveThis paper aims to clarify the material basis of Gualou Niubangtang and establish a quantitative analysis method for its main constituents, providing a reference for the overall quality control of this preparation. MethodsThe constituents in the formula were systematically characterized based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS). Identification was performed by matching with the UNIFI 9.6 software and utilizing database platforms such as PubChem, ChemicalBook, and ChemSpider, combined with relevant literature reports. A quantitative analysis method for the seven main constituents in Gualou Niubangtang was established by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). ResultsUPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS analysis identified 155 constituents, including 69 flavonoids, 36 terpenoids, 23 phenylpropanoids, 8 phenylethanoid glycosides, and 19 other types of constituents. In the established quantitative analysis method, the seven main constituents showed good linearity within their respective linear ranges. The precision, repeatability, stability, and spike recovery all met the required standards. The results showed that the content ranges of geniposide, liquiritin, hesperidin, arctiin, baicalin, oroxylin A-7-O-β-D-glucuronide, and wogonoside in 15 batches of Gualou Niubangtang were 13.67-21.25, 1.20-7.64, 5.45-7.45, 22.97-33.51, 29.95-39.07, 2.58-4.80, and 6.56-9.31 mg·g-1, respectively. ConclusionThis study successfully characterizes and attributes multi-category constituents in Gualou Niubangtang, clarifying that its material basis is primarily composed of flavonoids, terpenoids, phenylethanoid glycosides, and phenylpropanoids. Furthermore, it enables the quantification of seven constituents within the formula. This work lays a foundation for research on the quality control, action mechanism, and clinical application of this formula.

AIM: To explore the application effect of eyelid margin incision combined with floating bridge technique in the treatment of ptosis patients, and to analyze its effects on the margin reflex distance 1(MRD1)and the aesthetic effect of the eyes. METHODS:Prospective study. This study enrolled patients with blepharoptosis treated at the Department of Ophthalmology of the hospital between January 2023 and July 2025, who were assigned to either an observation group or a control group. The patients in the control group received levator aponeurosis shortening surgery through conventional double-eyelid incision, while the patients in the observation group underwent levator aponeurosis shortening surgery using the eyelid margin incision combined with floating bridge technique. Subsequently, the surgical-related indicators,the correction effect of ptosis, the aesthetic effect, the ocular function indicators, the postoperative complication occurrence rate, and recurrence rate were compared and analyzed between two groups.RESULTS:A total of 100 patients(100 eyes)with blepharoptosis were enrolled in this study, with 50 patients(50 eyes)in the observation group and 50 patients(50 eyes)in the control group. The observation group had a mean age of 27.33±5.32 y, including 20 males and 30 females. The control group had a mean age of 27.64±4.66 y, including 24 males and 26 females. Compared with the control group, the operative time of the observation group was longer, the postoperative swelling resolution time and natural recovery time were shorter,and the correction rate was higher(P<0.05). Three months after the surgery, the VSS score and POSAS score of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, while the scores for eyelid curvature, symmetry of eyelid height, and the PFH, MRD1, palpebral fissure size, and upper eyelid levator muscle strength were all higher than those of the control group(all P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in postoperative complication occurrence rate and recurrence rate between two groups(all P>0.05).CONCLUSION:The combined use of eyelid margin incision and floating bridge technique for treating ptosis results in slightly longer operation time, but it can shorten the postoperative recovery period, effectively ameliorate the MRD1 and ocular function of patients, and enhance the correction effect and aesthetic quality of the eyes. In addition, it has a low incidence of complications and guaranteed safety.

Objective:To investigate the immunological mechanism by which grifola frondosa extract improves colonic tissue inflammation in rats with ulcerative colitis(UC)through the sphingosine kinase 1(SPHK1)/sphingosine-1-phosphate(S1P)signaling pathway.Methods:Forty male SD rats were randomly divided into five groups:blank group,model group,sulfasalazine treatment group(SASP group),grifola frondosa extract treatment group(GF group),and sulfasalazine combined with grifola frondosa extract treatment group(SASP+GF group).UC model was established using a 3%dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)free drinking method.After one week,each treatment group received sulfasalazine 0.3 g/(kg·d),grifola frondosa extract 10 mg/(kg·d),and combination of both drugs by gavage.During the experiment,the general condition of the rats was observed,the disease activity index(DAI)score was re-corded and the protein content and positive expression levels of SPHK1,S1P,tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 2(TRAF2)and TNF-α in rat colon tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry.mRNA and protein expression levels of SPHK1,S1P,TRAF2 and TNF-α in rat colon tissue were measured by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Results:Compared with the blank group,the general condition of the model group rats were poor,the DAI score was significantly increased,and the protein positive expres-sion,mRNA and protein expression levels of SPHK1,S1P,TRAF2 and TNF-α in colon tissue were significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the general condition of the rats in each treatment group improved significantly,the DAI score was decreased(P<0.01),and the positive expression of each target protein was significantly reduced(P<0.01),especially in the GF group and SASP+GF group;the mRNA and protein expression levels of SPHK1 and TRAF2 were reduced to varying degrees(P<0.01 or P<0.05),while the mRNA and protein expression levels of S1P and TNF-α only decreased significantly in the GF group and SASP+GF group(P<0.01).Compared with the SASP group,the GF group only showed a decrease in SPHK1 protein expression,TNF-α mRNA,and protein expression levels,while the SASP+GF group showed significant reductions in all targets(P<0.01 or P<0.05).Compared with the GF group,the SASP+GF group showed significant reductions in SPHK1 protein positive expression and content,S1P mRNA expression levels,and TNF-α protein content(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion:Grifola frondosa extract may alleviate co-lonic tissue inflammation in rats with UC by inhibiting the activation of the SPHK1/S1P pathway,restoring intestinal mucosal barrier function,and improving symptoms of UC.
