By reviewing the ancient and modern literature， the name， origin， scientific name evolution， place of origin， quality， harvesting， processing， efficacy and toxicity of Asteris Radix et Rhizoma（ARR） were systematically sorted out， so as to provide reference for the development and utilization of the relevant famous classical formulas. According to textual research， ARR was first contained in Shennong Bencaojing， all generations are Ziwan for its proper name， and there are still aliases such as Ziyuan， Ziqian and Xiaobianer. Its mainstream origin in successive generations was Aster tataricus， and there are also Ligularia fischeri and others in local area of use. The medicinal parts of ARR are root and rhizome， but in modern times， the rhizome is mostly used for propagation and cultivation， so some of ARR medicinal materials only have the root without the rhizome. The earliest recorded ancient origin of ARR was now Fangxian（Hubei）， Zhengding and Handan（Heibei）， then the range of production areas gradually expanded， the mainstream production areas from the Song dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties included Hebei， Jiangsu， Anhui， Henan and other places， since modern times， two major producing areas have been formed in Anguo， Hebei province and Bozhou， Anhui province. From the quality evaluation， it is clear that from ancient times， flexible roots and purple color are the best. The ancient harvesting was mainly in lunar February or March， and then dried in the shade， and the modern harvesting is mostly in spring and autumn， and the roots are braided into pigtails and then dried in the sun or dried in the sun after 1-2 d. The ancient and modern processing method of ARR are basically the same， mainly honey processing， there are still methods of frying， steaming， vinegar sizzling， etc. Based on the results， it is recommended that the dried roots and rhizomes of A. tataricus should be used in clinical and the development of related famous classical formulas， and those whose original formulas specify the processing requirements can be processed according to the relevant requirements， while whose processing requirements are not specified should be used in the form of raw products.

By consulting ancient and modern literature， the herbal textual research of Farfarae Flos has been conducted to verify the name， origin， producing area， quality evaluation， harvesting and processing methods， so as to provide reference for the development and utilization of the famous classical formulas containing Farfarae Flos. According to the research， the results showed that Farfarae Flos was first described as a medicinal material by the name of Kuandonghua in Shennong Bencaojing（《神农本草经》）， and the name was used and justified by later generations. The main origin was the folwer buds of Tussilago farfara， in addition， the flower buds of Petasites japonicus were used as medicine in ancient times. The ancient harvesting time of Farfarae Flos was mostly in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar， and the modern harvesting time is in December or before the ground freeze when the flower buds have not been excavated. Hebei， Gansu， Shaanxi are the authentic producing areas with the good quality products. Since modern times， its quality is summarized as big， fat， purple-red color， no pedicel is better. Processing method from soaking with licorice water in the Northern and Southern dynasties to stir-frying with honey water followed by micro-fire in the Ming dynasty， and gradually evolved to the modern mainstream processing method of honey processing. Based on the research results， it is suggested that the dried flower buds of T. farfara， a Compositae plant， should be selected for the development of famous classical formulas containing Farfarae Flos， and the corresponding processed products should be selected according to the specific processing requirements of the formulas， and raw products are recommended for medicinal use without indicating processing requirements.

Developing analytical methods for the chemical components of natural medicines remains a challenge due to its diversity and complexity. Miao-Fu-Zhi-Tong (MFZT) granules, an ethnic Yi herbal prescription, comprises 10 herbs and has been clinically applied for gouty arthritis (GA) therapy. Herein, a series of chemical profiling strategies including in-house library matching, molecular networking and MS/MS fragmentation behavior validation based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) were developed for qualitative analysis of MFZT granules. A total of 207 compounds were identified or characterized in which several rare guanidines were discovered and profiled into alkyl substituted or cyclic subtypes. Moreover, network pharmacology analysis indicated that MFZT's anti-gout mechanism was mostly associated with the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling, nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD)-like signaling and rheumatoid arthritis pathways, along with the synergistic effect of 84 potential active compounds. In addition, a quantitative analytical method was developed to simultaneously determine the 29 potential effective components. Among them, berberine, pellodendrine, 3-feruloylquinic acid, neoastilbin, isoacteoside and chlorogenic acid derivatives at higher concentrations were considered as the chemical markers for quality control. These findings provide a holistic chemical basis for MFZT granules and will support the development of effective analytical methods for the herbal formulas of natural medicines.

Through reviewing ancient and modern literature， the textual research of Anemarrhenae Rhizoma（AR） has been conducted to verify the name， origin， changes in production areas， quality evaluation， harvesting and processing methods， so as to provide reference for the development and utilization of the famous classical formulas containing AR. Through the herbal textual research， AR was first published in Shennong Bencaojing， and has been used as the proper name for this herb for generations， and the mainstream source of AR used for generations is the rhizome of Anemarrhena asphodeloides. The high-quality production areas that have been revered throughout the ages are Hebei， Shanxi， Shaanxi， Inner Mongolia and Fangshan district of Beijing， etc. In recent times， AR produced in Yixian county of Hebei province（Xiling Zhimu）， is better known and is regarded as a very good source. At present， cultivated AR is mainly produced in Yixian county and Anguo of Hebei province， Bozhou of Anhui province and other places. The medicinal parts of AR in ancient and modern times are all rhizomes， and the quality is better if it has thick flesh， hard wood， yellow outer color and white section color. The harvesting time recorded in ancient medical books is usually in lunar February and August， with exposure to dryness， while modern harvesting is spring and autumn. The processing methods of the past dynasties were mainly to remove the hair when using， avoid iron when cutting， process with wine or salt water， while the two main specifications in modern times are raw and salted products. Based on the systematic research， it is recommended that the dried rhizome of A. asphodeloides in the famous classical formulas be used for AR. If the original formula specifies processing requirements， it should be operated according to the requirements， if the processing requirements are not indicated， the raw products can be used as medicine.

Objective To explore the value of shear wave elastography(SWE)in the kidneys of children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura(HSP).Methods A total of 59 cases with HSP admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from November 2021 to August 2022 were selected and divided into simple HSP group(29 cases)and Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis(HSPN)group(30 cases).50 normal children during the same period were included as control group.The Young′s modulus(YM)of right renal cortex and medulla were compared among the three groups.receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC curve)was plotted to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of SWE for simple HSP.Correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were performed for the YM value of right renal cortex and medulla of all children with HSP and related indexes.Results There was statistical significance in YM values of right renal cortex and medulla among the three groups(P<0.05).The YM value of right renal cortex of the simple HSP group was higher than that in the control group and HSPN group(P<0.05).The YM value of right renal medulla of the simple HSP group were higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The YM value of right renal cortex was better than the YM value of right renal medulla in the diagnostic efficiency of simple HSP.The YM value of right renal cortex and medulla both had a linear regression relation-ship with the right renal volume.Conclusion The YM value of right renal cortex and medulla were higher than those of healthy children,with the progression of the disease the YM values decreasing.It may become a new technology for routine screening and follow-up moni-toring of renal involvement in children with HSP.

OBJECTIVE To study the quality difference of different specifications of Citri Grandis Exocarpium from different origins，and to provide reference for the orderly development of Citri Grandis Exocarpium industry. METHODS Different specifications [ Citrus grandis ‘Tomentos’young fruit ，Citrus grandis （L.）Osbeck young fruits ，exocarp] of 93 batches of Citri Grandis Exocarpium medicinal materials （decoction pieces ）from different origins [ Citrus grandis ‘Tomentosa’or Citrus grandis （L.）Osbeck] were taken as samples. The contents of naringin and rhoifolin in samples were determined by HPLC. Through pheatmap parameters of R language ，heatmap was drawn for the contents of naringin and rhoifolin according to origins and specifications （young fruit and exocarp ）. RESULTS Of 93 batches of samples ，the contents of naringin and rhoifolin were 16.52-214.64 and 1.03-10.96 mg/g，respectively. Among different specifications ，the contents of naringin and rhoifolin in the young fruit were the highest （their average contents were 108.96 and 6.30 mg/g respectively ）. Heatmap analysis of R language content showed that the contents of naringin and rhoifolin in Citri Grandis Exocarpium from origin of C. grandis ‘Tomentosa’were generally higher than those from origin of C. grandis （L.）Osbeck. Of different specifications of Citri Grandis Exocarpium from origins，the contents of naringin and rhoifolin were higher in KTP young fruit relatively. CONCLUSIONS The quality of Citri Grandis Exocarpium from origin of C. grandis ‘Tomentosa’with the young fruit as specification is the best.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of adenoviral encephalitis (AE), and to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment of adenoviral encephalitis.Methods:From January 2012 to December 2020, 1 185 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples of hospitalized children with suspected central nervous system infection in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College were collected for the detection of 22 common respiratory pathogens and common pathogens for encephalitis by polymerase chain reaction. Records of patients with adenovirus positive in CSF were reviewed and relevant clinical manifestations, laboratory tests and imaging examination results were collected for analysis.Results:Among 1 185 CSF samples, 242 samples were positive for viral nucleic acid, with detection rate of 20.4%, including 1.9%(23/1 185) of adenovirus. As for 23 children diagnosed with AE, 18 were male, five were female, with the age of (44.8±35.9) months, ranging from two months and 19 days to 10 years. Of 23 children, 21(91.3%) presented with fever, followed by convulsions (16 cases, 69.6%), headache (four cases, 17.4%), vomiting (11 cases, 47.8%), consciousness change (11 cases, 47.8%) and emotion disturbance (three cases, 13.0%). Among 23 children, eight cases had white blood cell counts (WBC) of (6 to <10)×10 9/L, 10 cases had WBC of (10 to 20)×10 9/L and the white blood cell classification was mainly neutrophils (21 cases, 91.3%), and C reactive protein of 20 cases (87.0%) was in the normal range. Cerebrospinal fluid examination showed that WBC were less than 15×10 6/L in 20 cases (87.0%), and WBC ≥15×10 6/L in three cases, which were up to 500×10 6/L; the protein of 19 cases was in the normal range, the glucose of 15 cases was in the normal range, and the chloride of 19 cases was in the normal range. Among 16 cases with brain magnetic resonance imaging examination, eight cases did not show abnormality, six cases with local meningeal linear enhancement, one case with small intracranial malacia, and one case with extensive intracranial lesions. For 13 cases who received electroencephalogram (EEG) test, seven cases showed normal EEG or marginal state, four cases showed extensive medium and high amplitude slow wave, one case showed spike wave or spike slow wave and one case had both of the above two changes. Among 23 children, 22 cases recovered including one case had secondary epilepsy, and the remaining one case had severe brain dysfunction and was unable to suck when discharged, with an indwelling gastric tube and accompanied by secondary epilepsy. Conclusions:The clinical manifestations and auxiliary examinations of children with AE have no obvious specificity. Most children with AE have a good prognosis, but a small number of them may have serious sequelae.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application of 3-dimensional CT angiography(3D-CTA) in the repair of mandibular defects with deep circumflex iliac arterial flaps.Methods:From January 2019 to January 2020, 5 patients with postoperative defects of mandibular tumors were treated in the Department of Stomatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College, including 2 males and 3 females. The ages of the patients ranged from 30 to 70 years, with an average of 52 years. CT angiography of both lower limbs was performed before operation. Data were processed using the CT workstation. According to the size and shape of the defect in the recipient site, the 3D model of the deep circumflex iliac arterial flap(DCIA) was constructed. the contour of the DCIA was observed and measured, and the data was recorded, including the diameter of the vassel at the starting point, the angle between the line from the starting point to the anterior superior iliac spine and the line between the bilateral anterior superior iliac spine, and the distance from the starting point to the anterior superior iliac spine. According to the 3D model, a composite tissue flap pedicled with DCIA was designed and prepared for mandibular defect repair. The actual situation during the procedure was compared with the preoperative 3D model simultaneously.Results:The diameter of the DCIA at the starting point was (2.30±0.24) mm. The angle between the line from the starting point to the anterior superior iliac spine and the line between the bilateral anterior superior iliac spine was 39.3°±6.1°, and the distance from the starting point to the anterior superior iliac spine was (5.83±0.24) cm. The shape and position of the DCIA were basically consistent with the three-dimensional model. All the flaps survived well after operation. All the patients were followed up for 3 to 6 months, the bilateral maxillofacial region were basically symmetrical. The postoperative imaging examination showed that the iliac osteocutaneous flap healed well, and the height and width of mandibular alveolar ridge were restored satisfactorily. There were no complications such as numbness in the donor site, abdominal hernia and gait abnormality.Conclusions:The 3D model of the DCIA produced by 3D-CTA can accurately locate the position and route of the vessel, clearly display the three-dimensional spatial relationship between the skin, muscles and bones around the target blood vessel, and significantly reduce the complications and operative time.

Objective: To identify post-marketing active surveillance systems for vaccine safety around the world and understand their features and mechanisms, in order to provide guidance for vaccine administration activities in China. Methods: Following the steps of scoping review, literature about active surveillance system for vaccine safety and published by 30 June 2018 were identified by searching electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library. Grey literature were also sought by exploring relevant websites. Identified literature were screened according to eligibility criteria, and informative data from included literature were then charted. Framework Synthesis and Thematic Analysis were performed to integrate the charted data. Results: 97 pieces of literature were included for review, and 11 active surveillance systems for vaccine safety were identified, mostly located in developed countries. These systems were constructed by 3 types of organizations: administration departments, academic or research institutions, and health care providers. Their data sources included immunization registries, electronic medical records, claims data, case reports of adverse events following immunization electronic questionnaires, and epidemiologic study data. According to their operation procedures, these systems were grouped into 4 modes of active surveillance: Data Linkage, Investigator Network, Automatic Follow-up System, Studies Consortium. Conclusion Practice of active surveillance for vaccine safety greatly varies across countries, with different conditions and advantages. It is suggested that developing countries should choose suitable mode of active surveillance considering their local situations.
