The classic formula Mulisan is the 45th of the 93 formulas in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Formulas (second batch) of Han medicine published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It consists of Ostreae Concha, Astragali Radix, Ephedrae Radix et Rhizoma, and wheat, with the effect of replenishing qi and stopping sweating. It is a common formula in the clinical treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. This study analyzes the historical evolution, composition, dosage, original plants and their processing methods, decocting method, efficacy, indications, and modern clinical application of Mulisan by tracing, comparative analysis, and bibliometric methods. The results showed that Mulisan firstly appeared in the Pulse Classic written by WANG Shuhe in the Western Jin Dynasty. The formulation idea can be traced back to the Important Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold for Emergency in the Tang Dynasty. The herb composition, dosage, efficacy, and indications of Mulisan were first recorded in the Treatise on Diseases, Patterns, and formulas Related to Unification of the Three Etiologies in the Southern Song dynasty. In terms of original plants and their processing methods, Ostreae Concha is the shell of Ostrea rivularis, which should be calcined before use. Astragali Radix and Ephedrae Radix et Rhizoma are the dried roots of Astragalus membranaceus var. mongholicus and Ephedra sinica, respectively, the raw material of which should be used. Wheat is the dried mature fruit of T. aestivum, which can be used without processing, while the stir-fried fruit, being thin and deflated, demonstrates better effect. The composition of Mulisan is Ostreae Concha 8.26 g, Astragali Radix 8.26 g, Ephedrae Radix et Rhizoma 8.26 g, and wheat 7.92 g. The medicinal materials should be ground into coarse powder and decocted with 450 mL water to reach a volume of 240 mL, and the decoction should be taken warm. In modern clinical practice, Mulisan has a wide range of indications, including spontaneous sweating and night sweating caused by Yang deficiency or Qi deficiency. The clinical disease spectrum treated by Mulisan involves endocrine system diseases, neurological diseases, respiratory system diseases, and cancer. This formula plays a significant role in the treatment of internal medicine diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. This study aims to provide a scientific basis for the subsequent research, development, and clinical application of Mulisan.

Objective:
To explore the network structure of eating behaviors with anxiety, depression and perceived stress in adolescents, so as to provide a basis for effective prevention and intervention of eating behavior problems and negative emotions in adolescents.
Methods:
Based on the Psychology and Behavior Investigation of Chinese Residents (2021) database, the study was conducted among 3 087 adolescents. Sakata Eating Behavior Scale Short From(EBS-SF) was used to investigate their eating behaviors. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 Item(GAD-7), and Perceived Stress Questionnaire-3 Item (PSQ-3) were used to evaluate their depression, anxiety and perceived stress. Network analysis method was applied to construct a network of eating behaviors and negative emotional symptoms among adolescents, so as to evaluate the centrality, bridge strength, stability and accuracy of each item.
Results:
The total scores of eating behaviors, depression,anxiety and stress perception in adolescents were 17.41±4.53,6.95±6.08,4.86±5.03,9.34±3.80,respectively. The symptom with the highest intensity and expected impact was "I am only satisfied when I buy more food than I need", with a node intensity and expected impact value of 4.37. The nodes Depression and Anxiety were the most closely connected(weight=0.87). There were no statistically significant differences in the network structure( M =0.13,0.11) and network connection strength(female and male:4.16,4.06, s =0.10;urban and rural areas:4.08,4.07, s =0.01) between different sexes and residents ( P >0.05).
Conclusion
The negative impact of comorbidities such as anxiety, depression, perceived stress and eating behaviors among adolescents can be reduced through targeted prevention and intervention of core symptoms and bridging symptoms.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effects of Mori Folium extract (MLE) on the kidney of db/db diabetic mice and its mechanism. MethodTwenty-four male C57BLKS/JGpt-Leprdb/Leprdb (db/db) mice were randomly divided into model group, metformin group, low-dose group of MLE (MLE-L), and high-dose group of MLE (MLE-H) according to their fasting blood glucose (FBG), with six mice in each group, and other six C57BLKS/JGpt wild littermate (m/m) mice were selected as normal group. The mice in the drug administration groups were given corresponding drugs by gavage, and the mice in the normal group and model group were given the same dose of deionized water by gavage once a day for continuous eight weeks. Body weight, bilateral kidney weight, and FBG were measured, and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed. The pathological changes in the kidney tissue of mice were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and periodic acid-silver (PAS) staining, and serum creatinine (SCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were detected. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum and urinary microalbumin (U-mAlb) of mice. The expression levels of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), and nuclear factor-kappa B p65 (NF-κB p65) protein in kidney tissue of mice were tested by Western blot. ResultCompared with the normal group, the body weight, absolute renal weight, FBG, and the area under the curve (AUC) of OGTT of mice in the model group were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the levels of SCr, BUN, and U-mAlb, as well as TNF-α and IL-6 in serum were significantly increased (P<0.01). The glomerular basement membrane in the kidney tissue of mice was thicker, with obvious inflammatory cell infiltration. The protein expression levels of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB p65 in the kidney tissue of mice were increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, there was no statistical difference in the body weight of mice in each drug administration group. The absolute renal weight of mice in the MLE-H and metformin groups was significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01). The FBG levels of mice in the metformin, MLE-L, and MLE-H groups started to decrease after treatment for four to eight weeks (P<0.05, P<0.01). The AUC of mice in the MLE-H and metformin groups was significantly decreased (P<0.01). The levels of SCr, BUN, and U-mAlb of mice in the MLE-H and metformin groups were significantly decreased (P<0.01), and those of SCr and U-mAlb of mice in the MLE-L group were significantly decreased (P<0.01). The levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the serum of mice in the MLE-H and metformin groups were significantly decreased (P<0.01). The renal tissue pathology of mice in each drug administration group was improved to varying degrees, and the protein expression levels of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB p65 in the MLE-H group were decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionMLE can improve the renal structure and function of db/db diabetic mice, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Mori Folium, the dried leaves of Morus alba, is widely used in clinical practice for dispersing wind and heat, clearing the lung and moistening dryness, soothing the liver and improving vision, and cooling blood and stopping bleeding. It has been used to regulate blood glucose since ancient times, and modern studies have shown that the active components of Mori Folium for lowering blood glucose mainly include flavonoids, alkaloids, polysaccharides, and phenols. These components are mainly extracted by solvents such as water and alcohols with the assistance of ultrasound and microwave. In addition, new extraction methods are emerging, such as CO2 supercritical fluid extraction, enzymatic hydrolysis, and cloud point extraction. Mori Folium lowers blood glucose via multiple components, pathways, and targets. Specifically, it can improve glucose and lipid metabolism, protect pancreatic β cells, and alleviate insulin resistance to reduce the damage caused by hyperglycemia and restore normal physiological functions. Although a large number of studies have been carried out on diabetes, the causes and radical treatment methods remain to be explored, and diabetes is still a major disease that endangers human health and needs to be solved urgently. The articles about extraction process and mechanism of active components in Mori Folium for lowering blood glucose were retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Web of Science, and PubMed. We analyzed the applicable extraction methods for the blood glucose-lowering components such as flavonoids, polysaccharides, and alkaloids in Mori Folium, and compared the conventional and emerging methods. Furthermore, we summarized our research achievements in the extraction of active components from Mori Folium and the blood glucose-lowering effect and mechanisms. This review aims to provide theoretical support for the optimization of the extraction process, the research on the blood glucose-lowering components and mechanism, and the development of new drugs and clinical application of Mori Folium.

Objective:The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) in patients with auditory neuropathy (AN). The factors affecting DPOAE elicitation rate of each frequency, elicitation rate of each ear and change rate of first and last diagnosis in the natural course were analyzed.Methods:The sample was obtained from the Multicenter Study on Clinical Diagnosis and Intervention of AN (registration number: ChiCTR2100050125), and the diagnostic criteria for AN were based on the Chinese Clinical Practice Guidelines of Auditory Neuropathy (version 2022). Patients with bilateral AN who underwent 2 or more DPOAE tests were screened and divided into infant groups (≤3 years old) and non-infant groups (>3 years old) according to the age of detection, and the trend of DPOAE elicitation rate of each frequency, elicitation rate of each ear and change rate in the natural course of disease were analyzed, in order to explore the relevant influencing factors.Results:A total of 165 patients (330 ears) with AN were included in the study. The overall DPOAE elicitation rate per ear was 77.0%±29.4% at the initial diagnosis and 65.1%±35.2% at the final diagnosis, with a reduction observed in the elicitation rate of 171 ears (51.82%). In the infant group, there were 49 cases (98 ears), including 28 males and 21 females, whose found age ranged from 0 to 3 years old, with a median age of 0.7 years. DPOAE elicitation rate per ear was 57.9%±35.5% in the initial diagnosis, and 32.4%±32.1% in the final diagnosis, with a reduction observed in the elicitation rate of 69 ears (70.41%). In the non-infant group, there were 116 cases (232 ears), including 59 males and 57 females, ranging in found age from 3.9 to 40 years old, with a median age of 14 years old. DPOAE elicitation rate per ear was 84.6%±23.4% in the initial diagnosis, and 78.3%±27.1% in the final diagnosis, with a reduction observed in the elicitation rate of 102 ears (43.97%). Age was found to be correlated with DPOAE changes by multicategorical unordered logistic regression analysis ( B=-0.224, OR=0.799, P<0.001). Conclusions:The elicitation rate of DPOAE in AN patients decreases or even disappears with increasing disease duration; The rate of DPOAE extraction is found to be lower in infant patients with auditory neuropathy (AN) compared to non-infant AN patients. Additionally, it is observed that the decrease in DPOAE extraction rate is more pronounced in infant AN patients as the disease progressed, as compared to non-infant AN patients. DPOAE and cochlear microphonic potentials should be fully combined for accurate diagnosis, and regular follow-up should be conducted to understand the natural course of the disease and give personalized guidance and assistance.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical manifestation and characteristics of ocular adverse drug reaction (ADR) related to dupilumab, so as to provide reference for clinically safe drug use. METHODS Retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang data, VIP and PubMed databases, the case reports about ocular ADR caused by dupilumab were collected, and then analyzed statistically in terms of gender, age, primary disease, drug use, occurrence time of ADR, main clinical manifestations, treatment or outcome, etc. RESULTS A total of 20 pieces of literature were selected, involving 46 patients, among which there were 29 males and 17 females. Mainly patients were under 60 years old. The results of the association evaluation was given as follows: 13 were “very likely” and 33 were “likely”. All patients were treated with dupilumab for atopic dermatitis (AD) without off-label medication. The occurrence time of ADR was 2 weeks to 2 years after administration, mainly within 6 months after medication. All patients received dupilumab monotherapy except that 3 patients with hypertension and 1 patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and human immunodeficiency virus received other drugs simultaneously. Twenty-eight patients had a history of allergic disease, and 11 patients had a history of eye disease. Ocular ADRs were mainly conjunctivitis and uveitis, and the clinical manifestations mainly included conjunctival congestion, swelling, eye secretions, etc. Ten patients developed severe ADR, including uveitis, severe conjunctivitis, and tear point stenosis; 45 patients were improved after symptomatic treatment. AD, serious initial symptoms of AD, allergic disease and underlying ocular diseases might be the high-risk factors of ocular ADR caused by dupilumab. CONCLUSIONS Whether the patient has the history of allergic diseases and basic eye diseases should be asked in detail before clinical use of dupilumab. When using the drug, attention should be paid to monitoring whether the patient has intraocular inflammation, be alert to the occurrence of new or serious ADR, and give timely symptomatic treatment to ensure the safety of drug use.
