		                        			To summarize Professor GAO Shuzhong's clinical experience in treating idiopathic tinnitus with a combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica. It is believed that idiopathic tinnitus is mostly caused by weak lungs and spleen, kidney essence deficiency, liver constraint transforming into fire, and binding constraint of heart qi. Treatment advocates the combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica in clinical practice. Acupuncture treatment mainly focus on the method of opening the orifices by syndrome identification in combination with Ermen (TE 21), Tinggong (SI 19), Tinghui (GB 2), Shenmai (BL 62) to regulate qi and blood, and supporting with Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (EX-HN 3), Taichong (LR 3), and Yanglingquan (GB 34) to soothe the liver, resolve constraint, and calm the mind. Oral administration of Chinese medicinal prescription usually includes modified Yiqi Congming Decoction (益气聪明汤) and Tongqi Powder (通气散), and the external administration of Chinese medicinal prescription can apply self-prescribed Wenqing Powder (温清散) to navel moxibustion.

		                        			The study explores the thermal dose of experimental animals exposed in electromagnetic field.The simulation environment containing electromagnetic and thermal doses is established based on the bioheat equation and the three-dimensional rat model,and the effects of specific absorption rate,metabolic rate and boundary condition on temperature distribution and variation are assessed.The result shows that the core temperature rises with increasing whole body average specific absorption rate(WBASAR).At WBASAR of 4 W/kg,the midbrain and testes have higher specific absorption rates due to the skin effect,resulting in a more significant temperature rise in organ tissues than in the core;and at WBASAR of 0.4 W/kg,the temperature variation of the shallow organs caused by the sudden changes of metabolic and external environment reaches 1℃,which is much larger than that of the core.The experiment demonstrates target organs such as the head and testicles as critical subjects in thermal dose assessment.The experimental conditions should be regulated to reduce the effects of metabolic rate and boundary condition on thermal dose.The study has guiding significance for bioelectromagnetic experimental design and effect evaluation on thermal dose.

		                        			Objective:To analyze clinical, immunoserological, and therapeutic features of patients with anti-p200 pemphigoid.Methods:Clinical data were collected from patients with confirmed anti-p200 pemphigoid at the Hospital of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2015 to February 2024. Their clinical, immunoserological, and therapeutic characteristics were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 35 patients were included, with a male-to-female ratio of 2.5∶1 (25 males and 10 females) and ages of 57.74 ± 17.12 years. Two (5.71%) patients were accompanied by psoriasis. In these patients, anti-p200 pemphigoid exhibited heterogeneous clinical phenotypes, mimicking classic bullous pemphigoid (20 cases, 57.14%), linear IgA bullous dermatosis (8 cases, 22.86%), or eczema (4 cases, 11.43%). The positive rates of direct immunofluorescence (DIF), indirect immunofluorescence on salt-split skin (ss-IIF), Western blot analysis with dermal extracts as substrates, and Western blot analysis with laminin γ1 C-terminal region (Lnγ1C) as substrates were 100% (24/24), 82.86% (29/35), 100% (35/35), and 80.64% (25/31), respectively. Among the 35 patients, treatment and follow-up information was available for analysis in 33. Six patients (18.18%) received non-glucocorticoid systemic therapy and topical glucocorticoid therapy, with a follow-up period ( M [ Q1, Q3]) of 19.50 (6.50, 69.25) months, and 1 withdrew the drugs. Sixteen patients received systemic glucocorticoids combined with traditional anti-inflammatory drugs, with a follow-up period of 13.50 (4.25, 18.00) months, the initial dose of glucocorticoids was equivalent to 0.30 - 0.50 mg·kg -1·d -1 of prednisone, and the time to disease control was 15.31 ± 5.23 days; among the 16 patients, 3 experienced fluctuations in disease condition which were alleviated by adding dapsone, and 1 discontinued glucocorticoids. Five patients (15.15%) received systemic glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressants, with a follow-up period of 26.00 (14.00, 90.00) months, the initial dose of glucocorticoids was equivalent to 0.50 - 0.75 mg·kg -1·d -1 of prednisone, and the time to disease control was 10.20 ± 3.27 days; among the 5 patients, 2 received maintenance treatment with glucocorticoids (5 - 10 mg/d prednisone), 2 withdrew the drugs, and 1 relapsed after discontinuing glucocorticoids. One patient (3.03%) received systemic glucocorticoids combined with rituximab therapy, with a follow-up period of 53 months, and discontinued glucocorticoids thereafter. One patient (3.03%) received systemic glucocorticoids combined with dupilumab therapy, which proved to be effective. Four patients (12.12%) received systemic glucocorticoids combined with Janus kinase inhibitors, and 3 responded well. Conclusions:Anti-p200 pemphigoid presented a heterogeneous clinical profile in this series of patients, but scarring and milia were rare. Some patients showed negative results in Western blot analysis with Lnγ1C as substrates. The prognosis of anti-p200 pemphigoid was usually favorable, and most patients could achieve complete remission and ultimately discontinue medication.

		                        			Objective:To analyze clinical and immunoserological features of patients with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) .Methods:Clinical data were collected from patients with confirmed EBA at the Hospital of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2017 to January 2022, and their clinical and immunoserological characteristics were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 20 patients were collected, including 7 males and 13 females, and they were aged 41.85 ± 18.43 years. Ten patients presented with the classical phenotype of EBA, 8 with the inflammatory phenotype of EBA, and 2 with the mixed phenotype of EBA. Mucosal involvement occurred in 19 cases, nail involvement occurred in 4, scarring was observed in 9, and milia in 13. Indirect immunofluorescence on salt-split skin showed IgG deposition on the dermal side in 19 cases. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for type Ⅶ collagen revealed positive results in 19 cases, with a diagnostic sensitivity of 95%. Western blot analysis with dermal extracts as substrates revealed a protein band with a relative molecular mass of 290 000 in 16 cases, with a diagnostic sensitivity of 80%, and multiple autoantibodies against different basement membrane zone antigens were identified in 3 cases. Fifteen patients received systemic glucocorticoids, including 2 receiving combined immunosuppressive agents and 13 receiving combined anti-inflammatory agents with dapsone and colchicine as the first and second commonly used anti-inflammatory agents respectively; among 5 patients receiving non-glucocorticoid therapy, 2 with inflammatory EBA were sensitive to dapsone and colchicine, while the other 3 patients were lost to follow-up. Totally, 17 patients were followed up for an average duration of 26.21 months. Among the 17 patients, 1 achieved complete remission off therapy, 2 achieved complete remission on minimal therapy, and the remaining 14 patients achieved partial remission.Conclusions:The treatment of EBA is challenging, and anti-inflammatory agents such as dapsone and colchicine are often used. Immunoserological tests are of great value in the diagnosis of EBA.

		                        			Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of exercise-based acupuncture in treating ischemic stroke and its effects in improving the patient's motor function and daily living ability. Methods:A total of 106 patients with motor dysfunction due to cerebral infarction were randomized into a trial group and a control group,each consisting of 53 cases.Both groups received conventional rehabilitation;in addition,the control group was given point-toward-point acupuncture at scalp points,and the trial group was offered exercise-based acupuncture,3 times weekly for 4 consecutive weeks.Before treatment,after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment,and at the 2-month follow-up,the Fugl-Meyer assessment(FMA)scale,Lovett scale for muscle strength,modified Ashworth scale(MAS),and activities of daily living(ADL)scale were used to assess the patient's motor function,muscle strength,muscle tension,and daily living ability. Results:After treatment,both groups gained improvements in motor function and daily living ability;after 4-week treatment and at the 2-month follow-up,the trial group had higher FMA and ADL scores than the control group(P<0.05).The MAS score decreased after treatment in both groups;after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment and at the 2-month follow-up,the MAS score was lower in the trial group than in the control group(P<0.05).After the intervention,the Lovett score increased in both groups;after 4 weeks of treatment,the Lovett score was higher in the trial group than in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion:Based on routine rehabilitation,exercise-based acupuncture and scalp point-toward-point acupuncture both can improve the motor function and daily living ability in ischemic stroke patients;exercise-based acupuncture performs better than scalp point-toward-point acupuncture.

		                        			ObjectiveTo explore the effect of oleanolic acid (OA) on water metabolism in mice with water-dampness retention caused by spleen deficiency and the mechanism. MethodThe 60 SPF Kunming (KM) mice were randomized into blank group (n=10) and modeling group (n=50). Through long-term living in damp place and irregular diet, water-dampness retention caused by spleen deficiency was induced in modeling mice. Then the model mice were randomly classified into model group, natural recovery group, and low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose OA groups. The mice in the blank group, model group, and natural recovery group were given (ig) 10 mL·kg-1·d-1 normal saline, and mice in the low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose OA groups received 50, 100, 200 mg·kg-1·d-1 OA, respectively. The intervention lasted 7 days. Before and after modeling and administration, the general conditions of the mice were observed and body weight of mice was measured. The water content in feces and tissues was detected with the oven-drying method, and water load index and organ coefficient were measured with the weighing method. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to detect the urinary D-xylose excretion, serum gastrin (GAS), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), interleukin-6 (IL-6), antidiuretic hormone (AVP), aquaporin 1 (AQP1) in renal medulla, and liver Na+-K+-ATPase. At the same time, OA was docked with ALB, IL-6, AQP1, and Na+-K+-ATPase. ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group showed withered hair, emaciation, laziness, bradykinesia, slow weight growth, infrequent spontaneous activities, high water content in feces and tissues, low weight loss after water loading, high coefficient of each organ (P<0.05, P<0.01). Moreover, the model group had less urinary D-xylose excretion, lower serum levels of GAS, TP, ALB, and HDL-C, higher levels of TC, LDL-C, AVP, and IL-6, lower expression of Na+-K+-ATPase in the liver, and higher expression of AQP1 in renal medulla than the blank group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The three OA groups demonstrated better general conditions, faster weight gain, more frequent spontaneous activities, lower water content in feces and tissues, larger weight loss after water loading, and lower coefficient of each organ than the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Moreover, compared with the model group, the three OA groups had high D-xylose excretion, high serum levels of GAS, TP, ALB, and HDL-C, low serum levels of TC, LDL-C, AVP, and IL-6, high expression of Na+-K+-ATPase in liver, and low expression of AQP1 in renal medulla (P<0.05, P<0.01). The recovery in each OA group was better than that in natural recovery group. Molecular docking results also confirmed that OA had high binding affinity with ALB, IL-6, AQP1, and Na+-K+-ATPase. ConclusionOA can alleviate the abnormal water metabolism in mice with water-dampness retention caused by spleen deficiency, which lays a basis for its potential clinical application.

		                        			OBJECTIVE To explore the material basis and mechanism of expectorant and cough relief effects of the fruits of Phellodendron chinense var. glabriusulum Schneid. METHODS The expectorant and cough relief effects of volatile oil and water decoction of the fruits of P. chinense var. glabriusulum Schneid. were studied by ammonia water cough induction and drug expectorant model mice experiments; GC-MS and UPLC-MS technologies were used to identify its volatile oils and non-volatile components of the fruits of P. chinense var. glabriusulum Schneid. The active ingredients, core targets and pathways of expectoration and cough relief were analyzed by network pharmacology. RESULTS The volatile oil (0.8, 0.2 g/kg, calculated by volatile oil) and water decoction (12, 3 g/kg, calculated by crude drug) of the fruits of P. chinense var. glabriusulum Schneid. both had obvious expectorant and cough relief effects, and showed obvious dose-dependent relationship. A total of 38 volatile oil components were identified from the medicinal herbs, and the relative percentage contents of 8 components were greater than 1%, such as α -pinene, myrcene, β -caryophyllene, germanene D, isospathulenol; a total of 69 non-volatile oil components were identified, mainly including phenolic compounds, alkaloids, and flavonoids. The active ingredients screened from the identified components included 13 compounds such as α-pinene, myrcene, chlorogenic acid, luteolin, berberine. There were a total of 55 intersection targets with diseases, and the core targets were tumor necrosis factor (TNF), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), serine/threonine kinase proteins (AKT1) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). The molecular docking results showed that the active ingredients and the core targets had good binding ability. GO functional analysis found that the targets were significantly enriched in biological processes such as the reaction affecting lipopolysaccharides, the positive regulation of peptidyl serine phosphorylation, and the positive regulation of the biosynthesis process of nitric oxide. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis found that the targets were significantly enriched in the signaling pathways such as cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, proteoglycans in cancer. CONCLUSIONS Fruits of P. chinense var. glabriusulum Schneid. have obvious expectorant and cough relief effects, and its material basis may be α-pinene, myrcene, chlorogenic acid, luteolin, berberine, etc., and mainly act on TNF, EGFR, VEGFA, AKT1, TLR4 and its significantly enriched signaling pathway.
