Daochisan is a pediatric famous classical formula in traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） specializing in clearing the heart， disinhibiting water and enriching Yin， which has been inherited and developed by medical experts of successive generations. The formula can be traced back to Xiaoer Yaozheng Zhijue written by QIAN Yi from Song dynasty， and most of the later-developed Daochisan（Daochitang） is based on this formula with additions and subtractions. So as to promote the literature excavation of this formula， this paper conducts a thorough textual research and analysis of the composition， processing， preparation methods， clinical applications of Daochisan based on a systematic collation of relevant ancient and modern literature in the method of bibliometrics. A total of 127 pieces of data involving 86 antient TCM books were collected. Statistical analysis showed that the drug origin of Daochisan is basically clear， we suggest that Rehmanniae Radix is the root tuber of Rehmannia glutinosa of Scrophulariaceae， Akebiae Caulis is the dry stem of Akebia quinata of Lardizabalaceae， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is the dry root and stem of Glycyrrhiza uralensis of legume， bamboo leaf is the dry leaves of Phyllostachys nigra var. henonis of gramineous plants. Four herbs are recommended to use its raw products. The key information of the dosage and decocting method is supposed to be "4.13 g each of raw Rehmanniae Radix， raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， Akebiae Caulis， adding 300 mL of water， and then adding 4.13 g of bamboo leaf， decocting together to 150 mL， taking warmly after meal". Daochisan has the effect of clearing the heart and enriching Yin， disinhibiting water and relieving stranguria， and is widely used in treating symptoms such as heart vexed hotness， hydrodipsia and reddish complexion. Modern studies have showed that Daochisan are frequently used in treating oral ulcer， herpetic stomatitis， urinary tract infection， herpes zoster and other diseases. The above research results can provide scientific reference for the future development and research of Daochisan.

This paper discussed the historic evolution of Juanbitang and similar decoctions， clarified the historic development of Yangshi Juanbitang and Chengshi Juanbitang， and probed into the key information of the meaning， original plants， processing methods， and modern dosage and usage of Chengshi Juanbitang. A total of 267 pieces of relevant information were collected from ancient traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） books， among which 53 pieces of effective data were included in this study. The results showed that both Chenshi Juanbitang and Yangshi Juanbitang were originated from Duhuo Jishengtang recoded in the Important Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold for Emergency （Bei Ji Qian Jin Yao Fang）. According to the standard of "1 qian roughly equals 3.73 g" in the measurement system of the Qing Dynasty， we suggest Chenshi Juanbitang is composed of 3.73 g Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix， 3.73 g Angelicae Pubescentis Radix， 3.73 g Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix， 11.19 g Angelicae Sinensis Radix， 11.19 g Mori Ramulus， 2.61 g Chuanxiong Rhizoma， 1.87 g Cinnamomi Cortex， 1.87 g stir-fried Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， 7.46 g Piperis Kadsurae Caulis， 2.98 g Olibanum， and 2.98 g Aucklandiae Radix， which should be decocted with 600 mL water to reach a volume of 300 mL. The decoction should be taken 3 times a day before meals. Juanbitang， a classical formula specialized for treating impediment diseases， has the effects of dispelling wind， removing dryness， and alleviating impediment to relieve pain. It can be used for treating vexing pain in body， spasm of nape and back， and heaviness in waists and legs. Modern studies have shown that Juanbitang can be used for treating rheumatoid arthritis， knee osteoarthritis， and periarthritis of shoulder. The above results served as a reference for the future development of Juanbitang.

Pseudorabies virus(PRV)is the etiological agent of pseudorabies in pigs,which is char-acterized by dyspnea,reproductive disorders,and neurological diseases,and it spreads widely a-round the world.Since 2011,the newly emerged PRV variants have resulted in poor immunity pro-tection of traditional vaccine strains,and the original method of vaccine strain preparation is time-consuming and labor-intensive.Therefore,it is urgently needed to develop an efficient screening method of the vaccine strain at present.Using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology in this study,two single guide RNAs(sgRNA)were designed targeting the virulence gene TK of PRV variant strain CH/JX/2016,and then the enhanced green fluorescent protein the reporter(EGFP)gene was inserted at the TK locus by a homologous repair plasmid.After multiple rounds of plaque puri-fication,the rPRV-ΔTK/EGFP strain was obtained.The results showed the cleavage efficiency of the two sgRNAs was extremely high.The preparation of rPRV-ΔTK/EGFP strain was succeed af-ter only three rounds of purification,and the EGFP expressed normally.The CRISPR/Cas9 system can edit the PRV gene simply,rapidly,and efficiently,and exhibits great potential in the construction of vaccine candidate strains.Meanwhile,the rescued rPRV-ΔTK/EGFP strain not only could be used as a tracer strain in PRV variant infection progresses,but also for subsequent antivi-ral drug screening.

Objective:To observe the multi-modal fundus imaging features of subretinal drusenoid deposit (SDD) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and observe image features.Methods:A prospective clinical study. From December 2019 to December 2023, 65 patients (104 eyes) with a diagnosis of AMD-SDD by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) examination in Shandong Eye Hospital were included. All eyes were examined by best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), traditional color fundus photography (CFP), ultra-wide-angle scanning laser fundus imaging (UWF), multicolor scanning laser fundus imaging (MC) and SD-OCT. The standard MC images were obtained by using Spectralis HRA+OCT for MC examination. The multi-mode image characteristics of SDD were analyzed retrospectively. Area under curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of CFP, MC and UWF in detecting SDD.Results:Among 65 patients with SDD, 29 cases of males (52 eyes) and 36 cases of females (52 eyes) was included. There were 26 patients with unilateral SDD and 39 patients with bilateral SDD. The average age was (71.74±10.97) years. The early, middle and late stages of AMD were 31 (29.8%, 31/104), 24 (23.1%, 24/104), 49 (47.1%, 49/104) eyes, respectively. The SDD detected by CFP, MC and UWF was 76 (73.1%, 76/104), 94 (90.4%, 94/104), 96 (92.3%, 96/104) eyes. CFP showed that the edge of SDD in the macular area was blurred. UWF showed that the dot and the ribbon SDD were light yellow pale discrete deposits and light yellow interlaced network deposits respectively. MC showed the dot SDD had a strong yellow-green circular reflection, while the edge of the ribbon SDD was surrounded by a weak reflection, and the boundary was clear. SD-OCT showed that SDD had strong reflection signal, which was located between the retinal pigment epithelium layer and the photoreceptor cell layer. The dot SDD could break through the ellipsoid zone and caused slight uplift or interruption of the external membrane, showing a cone-like strong reflection signal. While the ribbon SDD showed a continuous "hill-like" protrusion, which hardly broke through ellipsoid zone. The sensitivity and specificity of CFP, MC and UWF for SDD were 73.1%, 90.4%, 92.3% and 61.1%, 94.4% and 83.3%, respectively.Conclusions:MC and UWF show high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing AMD-SDD, which is superior to CFP. SD-OCT can effectively reveal the location and morphoLogical characteristics of SDD under retina.

ObjectiveTo assess the coverage and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in the elderly. MethodsThis study was conducted in Changning District of Shanghai， targeting people aged 60 years and above. Vaccination data between 21 December 2020 and 28 February 2022 was retrieved from the Shanghai Collective Immunization System. Information on confirmed cases of COVID-19 from March 2022 through May 2022 was collected from the National Notifiable Diseases Reporting System. Vaccine effectiveness was calculated using the screening method. ResultsAs of 28 February 2022， 69.89% of people aged ≥60 years had received ≥1-dose vaccine， 63.80% had received full primary vaccination and 31.91% had received a booster dose. Vaccination coverage declined over age， with the lowest coverage in the elderly aged ≥80 years. Moreover， COVID-19 vaccination provided the highest protection against severe/critical illness and death due to the Omicron variants in the elderly aged ≥60 years. Full primary vaccination showed 96.15%（95%CI：84.15‒99.06）of vaccine effectiveness and booster vaccination showed 100% of the effectiveness against severe/critical COVID-19 and death. ConclusionsFull primary and booster vaccination coverage in the elderly is low， especially in those aged 80 and above. Our study finds high protection against COVID-19 associated severe/critical illness and death from both full primary and booster vaccination of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines in the elderly aged ≥60 years.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of 1, 3-β-D glucan (BDG), mannan IgM antibody (Mn-IgM) and mannan IgG antibody (Mn-IgG) in invasive candidiasis and to compare the differences in the diagnostic capability of serological markers used alone or in combination.Methods:Serum samples of 126 patients with invasive candidiasis and 104 healthy people who took physical examination during the same period were collected. BDG was detected by dynamic chromogenic method, and Mn-IgM and Mn-IgG were detected by ELISA. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, Youden index, coincidence rate and Kappa value of the three serological markers used alone or in combination in the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis were analyzed and compared. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn and the areas under the curves (AUCs) were calculated.Results:The levels of BDG, Mn-IgM and Mn-IgG in patients with invasive candidiasis were significantly higher than those in healthy people ( P<0.01). The sensitivity, specificity, Kappa value and AUC of BDG were 48.41%, 92.31%, 0.389 and 0.842. The sensitivity, specificity, Kappa value and AUC of Mn-IgM were 64.29%, 91.35%, 0.540 and 0.829. The sensitivity, specificity, Kappa value and AUC of Mn-IgG were 27.78%, 95.19%, 0.214 and 0.737. The sensitivity, specificity, Kappa value and AUC of BDG+ Mn-IgM were 76.19%, 88.46%, 0.637 and 0.921. The sensitivity, specificity, Kappa value and AUC of BDG+ Mn-IgG were 59.52%, 91.35%, 0.491 and 0.856. The sensitivity, specificity, Kappa value and AUC of Mn-IgM+ Mn-IgG were 69.84%, 90.38%, 0.588 and 0.891. The sensitivity, specificity, Kappa value and AUC of BDG+ Mn-IgM+ Mn-IgG were 80.16%, 88.46%, 0.679 and 0.922. Conclusions:The sensitivity of Mn-IgM was higher than that of BDG and Mn-IgG in the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis. When the serological biomarkers were used in combination, BDG+ Mn-IgM and BDG+ Mn-IgM+ Mn-IgG had relatively high Kappa value and AUC, showing high accuracy. The clinical diagnostic value of multiple serological biomarkers used in combination was significantly higher than that of any serological biomarkers used alone. Early combined detection and continuous monitoring of multiple serological biomarkers in patients with high risk of invasive candidiasis could be used clinically to adjust antifungal treatment strategies timely.

【Objective】 To further determine the relationship between blood donor role cognition and blood donation behavior, then prepare of blood donor role identity scale(BDRIS). 【Methods】 The preparation of the scale was divided into five stages. It includes literature retrieval, expert interview, construction of the basic framework of the scale, scale test and statistical index test. The study focused on items selection, dimensions identification, measurement reliability, content and structural validity. 【Results】 The blood donor role identity scale consisted of 35 items. Exploratory factor analysis divided the items into six common factors, including role identity, role expectation, current situation of blood collection and supply, role conflict, external reward and blood donation experience. The α of scale was 0.840. 【Conclusion】 The reliability and validity of the scale meet the basic measurement requirements, and the framework of the blood donor role scale is basically formed. It can be used as one of the means to explore the ways and mechanisms of the role identity of blood donors in blood donation behavior.

【Objective】 To investigate the impact of ceasing mutual blood donation on voluntary blood donation in Guangzhou. 【Methods】 The data of blood donation from July 2016 to December 2019 (42-month before and after the official cease of mutual blood donation) in the Blood Collection and Supply System of Guangzhou Blood Center, including whole blood donations and apheresis platelets donations, were collected for interrupted time series analysis by month. Blood donors who donated (either whole blood or platelets) during 2016 were followed up until December 31, 2019, and the re-donation rate was analyzed by Chi-square test, t test and logistic regression analysis. 【Results】 The results showed that ceasing mutual blood donation had a significantly positive effect on the increase of platelet donations, but had no significant effect on whole blood donation. In 2016, whole blood donations and platelet donations were mainly voluntary (86.4% and 60.8%, respectively). In comparison of voluntary blood donation, the overall blood deferral rate(by dual assays) of mutual blood donation was higher (P<0.01), but the difference diminished as they donated twice or more. The re-donation rate of blood donors (mutual non-remunerated, voluntary, or both) all increased after the ceasing of mutual blood donation (mutual non-remunerated, : 4.7% vs 4.0%, χ²=29.8, P<0.01; voluntary: 24.8% vs 9.9%, χ²=17295.3, P<0.01; both: 36.3% vs 28.1%, χ²=29.3, P<0.01). The re-donation rate of mutual platelet donors decreased after the ceasing of mutual blood donation, but the number of voluntary platelet donors increased. 【Conclusion】 The ceasing of mutual blood donation was in favour of voluntary blood donation in Guangzhou since various means had been previously adopted by Guangzhou Blood Center to create a long-term mechanism of voluntary blood donation. The number of voluntary blood donors has increased, and the clinical use of blood has been further guaranteed.

Moschus chrysogaster (sifanicus) viral hemorrhagic disease (McVHD) is an acute and highly lethal infectious disease caused by Moschus chrysogaster hemorrhagic disease virus (McHDV) whose genome sequence is highly homologous with rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus. To screen the protective antigen of McHDV and set the basis for study of McVHD vaccine, the antigen epitope of major structural protein VP60 of McHDV was analyzed, and the specific primers were designed to obtain three amplified DNA sequences encoding the main antigen epitope of VP60 from McHDV by using RT-PCR. Then the three DNA fragments were sequenced and cloned to prokaryotic expression vector with pET-28a(+) by using overlap extension PCR, and finally the prokaryotic expression plasmid pET-truncated-VP60 was constructed. Subsequently, the pET-truncated-VP60 was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), and the recombinant proteins were expressed by IPTG induction. Finally, the expressed protein was purified and applied to immunize that without immunizing with RHD vaccine, then the antiserum titers were evaluated by the hemagglutination inhibition test, and the immune-protective efficacy of the recombinant proteins was observed and analyzed through animal challenge test. The results showed that the multi-epitope DNA fragments of VP60 of McHDV was successfully expressed in the form of inclusion bodies in E. coli, and the relative molecular weight of recombinant proteins is about 45 kDa. After immunized with the recombinant proteins, 100% of New Zealand white rabbits were resistant to attack of McHDV, which indicates efficient immune-protective efficacy of chosen epitope recombinant protein. The study laid a foundation for the development of the new subunit vaccines of McVHD.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between skin elasticity and setup error in optical surface image-guided radiotherapy. Methods: The skin elasticity (R7) data of the head, chest and abdomen were extracted and analyzed its correlation with age by systematic literature review. Fifty-four patients diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, breast cancer and cervical cancer were recruited in this study. Firstly, the patients were positioned based on the room laser and markers. Subsequently, the patient position was verified by the Varian On-Board Imager, and then C-Rad Catalyst was adopted to obtain surface images in two states (mask or non-mask) as reference images. In the subsequent fraction treatment, after initial positioning, the local calibration was performed by Catalyst, and setup errors in three directions were recorded. Meanwhile, the patient setup was verified by CBCT twice a week. The Pearson correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between setup error and age. Results: The skin elasticity was negatively correlated with aging (P<0.01). The correlation coefficient between random error and age in head-and-neck cancer were 0.645, 0.624 and 0.866 in the AP, SI and LR directions (all P<0.05) for male patients without mask, respectively. The system error was significantly correlated with age in the LR direction (P<0.05) for male patients, and in the AP direction (P<0.05) for female patients with head-and-neck cancer without mask. The setup error had a significant correlation with skin elasticity in male patients with head-and-neck cancer, and the sequence of absolute value of correlation coefficient was LR>SI>AP. Conclusion In optical surface-guided radiotherapy of head and neck cancer, skin elasticity may be a significant index for assessing the setup errors in male patients.
