Zhishi Shaoyaosan is the 34th prescription in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Formulas (Second Batch) published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2023. It is widely used in clinical practice and has a definite curative effect. However, there is currently a lack of its ancient literature analysis and textual research, and there is no corresponding Chinese patent medicine preparation. By consulting and combing the relevant ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine, this paper analyzes and conducts textual research of the origin, composition, measurement, administration, and efficacy of Zhishi Shaoyaosan. The results show that Zhishi Shaoyaosan is derived from Essentials from the Golden Cabinet written by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is mainly recorded in the name of Zhishi Shaoyaosan in the literature of the past dynasties. The prescription is composed of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus and Paeoniae Radix Alba. The processing method is stir-frying Aurantii Fructus Immaturus to scorch and using raw Paeoniae Radix Alba. The dose of the prescription recorded in the ancient books is mainly an equal amount of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus and Paeoniae Radix Alba in one square-cun spoon, taken three times a day, which is converted into a modern dose of 1.5 g each time (0.75 g Aurantii Fructus Immaturus and 0.75 g Paeoniae Radix Alba each time). The components of the prescription are ground into powder and taken with barley porridge, three times a day. The efficacy is to break stagnated Qi, harmonize blood, and relieve restlessness and pain. It is mainly used to treat postpartum abdominal pain, acute pelvic inflammatory disease, acute cholecystitis and intestinal diseases, stroke sequelae, and other diseases. This study combs and analyzes the ancient literature recording Zhishi Shaoyaosan and clarifies the key information of the prescription, which provides a basis for promoting the research and development of its patent medicine.

3.Application of behavioral lifestyle intervention in prevention and treatment of emotional disorders
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2024;33(10):865-869
" Behavior determines health" is the theoretical and practical basis of behavioral medicine. Maladpative lifestyle is not only an important risk factor for many non-communicable diseases, but also an important influencing factor for recurrence and prognosis of emotional disorders. More and more meta-analyses have confirmed the role of behavioral lifestyle in the treatment and prevention of emotional disorders such as depression. Some authoritative treatment guidelines now recommend lifestyle changes as one of the firstline treatment recommendations and given some specific modalities in detail. There is relatively less evidence for treatment of anxiety disorders and bipolar disorder, but there are several well-designed and high-quality studies that confirm the therapeutic and preventive role of lifestyles, particularly circadian rhythms, life regurality and exercises, as part of routine management measures for maintaining stable mood and alleviating anxiety symptoms.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which makes up the majority of liver cancer, is induced by the infection of hepatitis B/C virus. Biomarkers are needed to facilitate the early detection of HCC, which is often diagnosed too late for effective therapy. The tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) play vital roles in tumorigenesis and are stable in circulation. However, the diagnostic values and biological functions of circulating tsRNAs, especially for HCC, are still unknown. In this study, we first utilized RNA sequencing followed by quantitative reverse-transcription PCR to analyze tsRNA signatures in HCC serum. We identified tRF-Gln-TTG-006, which was remarkably upregulated in HCC serum (training cohort: 24 HCC patients vs. 24 healthy controls). In the validation stage, we found that tRF-Gln-TTG-006 signature could distinguish HCC cases from healthy subjects with high sensitivity (80.4%) and specificity (79.4%) even in the early stage (Stage I: sensitivity, 79.0%; specificity, 74.8%; 155 healthy controls vs. 153 HCC patients from two cohorts). Moreover, in vitro studies indicated that circulating tRF-Gln-TTG-006 was released from tumor cells, and its biological function was predicted by bioinformatics assay and validated by colony formation and apoptosis assays. In summary, our study demonstrated that serum tsRNA signature may serve as a novel biomarker of HCC.

9.Health is depended on the behavioral style: changing the unhealthy life habits and improving the quality of life
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2020;29(9):769-773
" Health China: 2030" is an important program and great work of the Chinese health care development in the future. Because of the many none-communication diseases (NCDs) in China are associated with some behavioral risk factors (e.g. tobacco and alcohol use, physical inactivity, and unhealthy diet, etc.), the behavioral intervention focused on these behavioral risks and unhealthy life habits should be main work for behavioral medicine. " Health is depended on the behavioral style" is always the topic of behavioral medicine promotion in China in the past, now and the future. The author recommends that the following behavioral risks control and intervention should be concerned in practice: sleep, physical inactivity and high body mass index, tobacco use and harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diet, depression and anxiety. If these behavioral risks and unhealthy life habits would be effective intervention or controlled, the sustainable development goal index and the healthy life expectancy in China will be improved further.
