This article systematically analyzes the historical evolution of the name， origin， academic name， medicinal parts， origin， harvesting， processing and other aspects of Abri Herba and Abri Mollis Herba by referring to the herbal medicine， medical books， prescription books and other documents of the past dynasties， combined with the modern literature， so as to provide a basis for the development of famous classical formulas containing this type of medicinal materials. According to the herbal textual research， Abri Herba was first recorded in Lingnan Caiyaolu， with other aliases such as Huangtoucao and Xiye Longlincao. It originates from the dried whole plant of Abrus cantoniensis， a Fabaceae plant， which can be used medicinally except for its fruits. Currently， this species is mainly distributed in Guangdong and Guangxi， and also found in Hunan and Thailand， it can be harvested throughout the year， mainly in spring and autumn. The roots， stems， and leaves can be used for medicinal purposes， but the pods are toxic and need to be removed. After harvesting， impurities and pods are removed， and it is dried and processed for medicinal use. Abri Herba has a sweet and slightly bitter taste， is cool in nature， and is associated with the liver and stomach meridians， it is used for clearing heat and relieving dampness， dispersing blood stasis and relieving pain， and is mainly used to treat jaundice-type hepatitis， stomach pain， rheumatic bone pain， contusion and ecchymosis pain， and mastitis. Abri Mollis Herba was first recorded in the 1982 edition of Zhongyaozhi as another origin for Abri Herba， and was singled out in some monographs such as Xinhua Bencao Gangyao in 1988 for use， while some other monographs use it as a local habitual products or confused products of Abri Herba with aliases such as Daye Jigucao， Qingtingteng， and Maoxiangsi. It comes from the dried whole herb of A. mollis without pods， and is mainly produced in Guangxi and Guangdong， and occasionally found in Hong Kong， Hainan and Fujian. The collection and processing are similar to Abri Herba， after harvesting， impurities and pods are removed， and it is dried and cut for medicinal use. Abri Mollis Herba has a sweet and light taste， is cool in nature， and is associated with the liver and stomach meridians， with the efficacy of clearing heat and detoxifying， and promoting dampness， it is mainly used to treat infectious hepatitis， mastitis， furuncles， burns and scalds， and pediatric malnutrition. Based on the research， A. mollis was first recorded to be used as a medicine in the same origin as A. cantoniensis， and as plants of the same genus， have similar morphological characteristics， and their medicinal parts， collection and processing， properties and flavors， and meridian affiliations are consistent. And in the folk， Abri Mollis Herba is often used as Abri Herba， which has been used for a long time and is now dominated by the cultivation of A. mollis. So it is recommended that the subsequent version of Chinese Pharmacopoeia should include A. mollis in the origin of Abri Herba， and it is also recommended that in famous classical formulas refered to Jiguccao can use A. cantoniensis and A. mollis as the sources of the herb， refered to Mao Jiguccao can use A. mollis as the sources of the herb. Processing is carried out according to the requirements specified in the original formulas， and raw products are recommended to be included in the medicine if there are no requirements.

This article systematically analyzes the historical evolution of the name， origin， medicinal parts， harvesting and processing， and other aspects of Manjiao and Zanthoxyli Radix by referring to the herbal medicine， medical books， prescription books and other documents of the past dynasties， combined with the relevant modern research materials， in order to provide a basis for the development of famous classical formulas containing the two medicinal materials. According to the herbal textual research， Manjiao was first recorded in Shennong Bencaojing of the Han dynasty with aliases such as Zhujiao， Goujiao and Zhijiao. Throughout history， Manjiao was sourced from the stems and roots of Zanthoxylum armatum in the Rutaceae family， and its leaves and fruits can also be used in medicine. The traditional recorded production area was mainly in Yunzhong（now Tuoketuo region in Inner Mongolia）， with mentions in Zhejiang， Hunan， Fujian， Guangdong， Guangxi， Yunnan， Taiwan， and other provinces. Presently， this species is distributed from the south of Shandong， to Hainan， Taiwan， Tibet and other regions. The roots can be harvested year-round， while the fruits are harvested in autumn after maturity. In ancient times， the roots and stems were mostly used for brewing or soaking in wine， whereas nowadays， the roots are often sliced and then used as a raw material in traditional Chinese medicine， and the fruits should be stir-fried before use. Manjiao has a bitter taste and warm property， and was historically used to treat wind-cold dampness， joint pain， limb numbness， and knee pain. Modern researches have summarized its effects as dispelling wind， dispersing cold， promoting circulation， and relieving pain， and it is used for treating rheumatoid arthritis， toothache， bruises， as well as an anthelmintic. Zanthoxyli Radix initially known as Rudi Jinniugen， recorded in Bencao Qiuyuan of the Qing dynasty， with the alternate name of Liangbianzhen. In recent times， it is more commonly referred to as Liangmianzhen， sourced from the dried roots of Z. nitidum of the Rutaceae family， mainly produced in Guangxi and Guangdong. It can be harvested throughout the year， cleaned， sliced， and dried after harvesting. Zanthoxyli Radix is pungent， bitter， warm and slightly toxic， with the functions of promoting blood circulation， removing stasis， relieving pain， dispelling wind， and resolving swelling. Based on the results of herbal textual research， it is clarified that the ancient Manjiao and the modern Zanthoxyli Radix are not the same species. This article corrects the mistaken belief of by previous scholars that Zanthoxyli Radix is the same as ancient Manjiao， and suggests that formulas described as Manjiao should use Z. armatum as the medicinal herb， while those described as Liangmianzhen or Rudi Jinniu should use Z. nitidum. The processing was performed according to the processing requirements prescribed in the formulas， otherwise， the raw products are recommended for use.

Objective To explore clinical effect of closed reduction percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail assisted by arthrography in the treatment of radial neck fracture in children.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 23 chil-dren with radial neck fracture treated with arthrography assisted closed reduction and percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail internal fixation(arthrography with elastic nail group)from January 2019 to December 2022,including 12 males and 11 fe-males,aged from 2 to 12 years old with an average of(7.36±1.89)years old;According to Judet fracture types,14 children were type Ⅲ and 9 children were type Ⅳ.In addition,23 children with radial neck fracture were selected from January 2015 to December 2018 who were treated with closed reduction and percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail fixation(elastic nail group),including 11 males and 12 females,aged from 2 to 14 years old with an average of(7.50±1.91)years old;Judet classi-fication included 15 children were type Ⅲ and 8 children were type Ⅳ.Operative time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times were compared between two groups.Metaizeau evaluation criteria was used to evaluate fracture reduction,and Tibone-Stoltz evaluation criteria was used to evaluate functional recovery of elbow between two groups.Results Both groups were followed up for 12 to 24 months with an average of(16.56±6.34)months.Operative time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times of elastic nail group were(56.64±19.27)min and(21.13±7.87)times,while those of joint angiography with elastic nail group were(40.33±1 1.50)min and(12.10±3.52)times;there were difference between two groups(P＜0.05).According to Metaizeau evaluation,11 patients got excellent result,9 good and 3 fair in joint angiography with elastic nail group,while in elastic nail group,5 ex-cellent,13 good,4 acceptable,and 1 poor;the difference between two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).According to Tibone-Stoltz criteria,14 patients got excellent result,8 good,and 1 fair in joint arthrography with elastic nail group;while in elastic nail group,12 patients got excellent result,9 good,1 fair and 1 poor;there was no significant difference between two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared to percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail fixation,closed reduction assisted by arthrography has advantages of reduced operation time,decreased intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency,and improved fracture reduction.Arthrography enables clear visualization of the anatomical structures of radius,head,neck,bone,and cartilage in children,facilitating comprehensive display of fracture reduction and brachioradial joint alignment.This technique more pre-cisely guides the depth of elastic intramedullary nail implantation in radius neck,thereby enhancing surgical efficiency and success rate.

Objective To investigate the effects of astragaloside Ⅳ(AS-Ⅳ)on axon growth inhibitory factor A(Nogo-A)and its downstream pathway protein RHO-associated coiled spiral kinase 2(ROCK2)in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis(EAE)mice,and to explore the mechanism by which it promotes axon repair and regeneration.Methods EAE model was induced in C57BL/6 female mice by subcutaneous injection of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein 35-55(MOG35-55).Mice were randomly divided into EAE group and AS-Ⅳ group(n=8 per group).EAE group received intraperitoneal injection of PBS on the 3rd day post-immunization,while AS-Ⅳ group was administered AS-Ⅳ at a dosage of 30mg/(kg.d)once daily,0.2 ml per injection,for 25 consecutive days.On the 28th day post-immunization,the expression levels of growth-associated protein 43(GAP-43),neuronal core antigen(NeuN),microtubule associated protein 2(MAP-2),glial fibroacidic protein(GFAP),and Iba1 in the spinal cord were detected using immunofluorescence assay.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)was conducted to detect mRNA expression levels of GAP-43,Nogo-A,and Nogo receptor(NgR)genes.Western blotting was utilized to determine the expression levels of GAP-43,Nogo-A,ROCK2,phosphorylated myosin phosphatase(p-MYPT1),B-lymphoblastoma-2(Bcl-2),and Bcl-2 associated X protein(Bax).Results Compared with EAE group,AS-Ⅳ treatment significantly reduced the positive cell expression rates of Iba1 microglia and GFAP astrocyte in spinal cord(P<0.01 and P<0.001,respectively),while it also increased the positive expression rates of NeuN and MAP-2(P<0.001 and P<0.05,respectively).The treatment also upregulated the expression level of anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2(P<0.001)and downregulated the expression level of pro-apoptotic factor Bax(P<0.05),leading to an increase in Bcl-2/Bax ratio(P<0.05).Furthermore,AS-Ⅳ enhanced the expression of GAP-43 protein(P<0.05)and decreased the mRNA expression levels of neuroregeneration inhibitor Nogo receptor(NgR)and ROCK2 gene(P<0.001,P<0.05,respectively);as well as decreased the expression levels of Nogo-A,ROCK2 and p-MYPT1 proteins(P<0.05,P<0.001).Conclusion AS-Ⅳ may inhibit the activation of microglia and astrocytes and neuronal apoptosis in EAE mice by inhibiting Nogo-A and downstream pathway ROCK 2,thereby promoting the expression of GAP-43,NeuN and MAP-2,alleviating neuronal damage,and facilitating axon repair and regeneration.

Aim To investigate the mechanism of py-roptosis mediated by the NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway and the intervention effect of Radix Angelica Sinensis and Radix Astragalus ultrafiltration extract(RAS-RA)in radiation-induced pulmonary fi-brosis.Methods Fifty Wistar rats were randomly di-vided into five groups,with ten rats in each group.Ex-cept for the blank control group,all other groups of rats were anesthetized and received a single dose of 40 Gy X-ray local chest radiation to establish a radiation-in-duced pulmonary fibrosis rat model.After radiation,the rats in the RAS-RA intervention groups were orally administered doses of 0.12,0.24 and 0.48 g·kg-1 once a day for 30 days.The average weight and lung index of the rats were observed after 30 days of contin-uous administration.Hydroxyproline(HYP)content in lung tissue was determined by hydrolysis method.The levels of IL-18 and IL-1 β in serum were detected by ELISA.Lung tissue pathological changes were ob-served by HE and Masson staining.Ultrastructural changes in lung tissue were observed by transmission e-lectron microscopy.The expression levels of NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD pyroptosis pathway-related proteins and fibrosis-related proteins in lung tissue were detec-ted by Western blot.Results Compared with the blank group,the HYP content in lung tissue and the levels of IL-18 and IL-1 β in serum significantly in-creased in the model group(P＜0.01).HE and Mas-son staining showed inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen fiber deposition.Transmission electron mi-croscopy revealed increased damaged mitochondria,disordered arrangement,irregular morphology,shallow matrix,outer membrane rupture,mostly fractured and shortened cristae,mild expansion,increased electron density of individual mitochondrial matrix,mild sparse structure of lamellar bodies,partial disorder,unclear organelles,and characteristic changes of pyroptosis.Western blot analysis showed increased expression of caspase-1,GSDMD,NLRP3,CoL-Ⅰ,α-SMA,and CoL-Ⅲ proteins(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the RAS-RA intervention group showed signifi-cant improvement in body mass index and lung index of rats,decreased levels of IL-18 and IL-1 β inflammatory factors(P＜0.01),improved mitochondrial structure,reduced degree of fibrosis,and decreased expression of caspase-1,GSDMD,NLRP3,COL-Ⅰ,COL-Ⅲ,and α-SMA proteins in lung tissue(P＜0.01).Conclusion RAS-RA has an inhibitory effect on radiation-in-duced pulmonary fibrosis,and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of pyroptosis through the regu-lation of the NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effects of different disinfection methods on ultrasound imaging and application firmness of ultrasound-guided subclavian vein puncture.Methods A total of 138 patients received ultrasound-guided subclavian vein puncture were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into the chlorhexidine alcohol group,the iodophor group and the chlorhexidine alcohol+ iodophor group,with 46 cases in each group.They were disinfected with chlorhexidine alcohol,iodophor,and chlorhexidine alcohol and iodophor,respectively.The disinfection effect,ultrasound imaging and application fixation of patients in the three groups were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the bacterial count or disinfection qualification rate of the puncture sites before and after disinfection of patients among the three groups(P>0.05).The ultrasound imaging clarity rate during puncture in the chlorhexidine alcohol group was significantly lower than those in the iodophor group and the chlorhexidine alcohol+iodophor group(P<0.05);while the rate of sticking up or shedding of application in the iodophor group 24 hours after puncture was significantly higher than those in the chlorhexidine alcohol group and the chlorhexidine alcohol+iodophor group(P<0.05).Conclusion Disinfecting the puncture area twice with chlorhexidine alcohol and then disinfecting the ultrasound exploration area once with iodophor can obtain satisfactory disinfection effect for patients undergoing ultrasound-guided subclavian vein puncture,with clearer ultrasound imaging and stronger adhesion of the application at the same time.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of uterine artery embolization(UAE)combined with ultrasound-guided curettage in the treatment of type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ caesarean scar pregnancy(CSP).Methods The clinical data of 90 patient with CSP in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively,the patients were divided into type Ⅱ group and type Ⅲ group according to preoperative vaginal color Doppler ultrasound.Patients in both groups were treated with UAE combined with ultrasound-guided curettage.The intraoperative and postoperative conditions of patients between the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results The cure rate of type Ⅱ group(92.5%)was higher than that of type Ⅲ group(65.2%),the intraoperative blood loss,time of postoperative serum β-hCG turned negative,postoperative mass disappearance time of patients in type Ⅱ group were less/shorter than those in type Ⅲ group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);there was no statistical difference in length of hospitalization or time to menstruation recovery of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion UAE combined with ultrasound-guided curettage is ideal for patients with type Ⅱ CSP at 8 to 10 weeks of gestation,and can be used as a recommended treatment.However,the cure rate of this method for type Ⅲ CSP is low,the comprehensive choice should be considered,including the specific situation of the patient and the local medical level.

Objective:To investigate the molecular mechanism and distribution characteristics of RhD negative phenotypes in Han population of blood donors in Wuhu city.Methods:A total of 210 RhD-samples from August 2021 to August 2022 were screened by serological test and collected from Wuhu Central Blood Station for the voluntary blood donor population.Exons 1 and 10 of the RHD gene were amplificated by PCR to determine whether the samples had the RHD gene.Exons 1-10 of the RHD gene were amplificated by PCR and zygosity analysis were performed in 82 samples containing D gene,and Sanger sequencing was performed on 55 samples containing all RHD exons to determine the genotype.Results:Among 210 RhD-specimens,128 cases(60.38％)had RHD gene deletion.27 cases had partial exons of RHD,including 2 cases with RHD*DVI.3/RHD*01N.01,24 cases with RHD*01N.04/RHD*01N.01,and 1 case with RHD-CE(2-10)/RHD*01N.01.55 cases had retained all of 10 exons,including 4 cases with RHD*01/RHD*01N.01,6 cases with RHD*15/RHD*01N.01,1 case with RHD*01W.72/RHD*01N.01,1 case with RHD*15/RHD*01EL.01,39 cases with RHD*01EL.01/RHD*01N.01,and the remaining 4 cases were determined to have no RHD gene deletion by zygosity analysis and sequencing showed the presence of 1227G＞A mutation loci.Conclusion:There is polymorphism in the molecular mechanism of RhD-D gene in Wuhu blood donor population,among which RHD*01EL.01 and RHD*15 are the main variants in this region.The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for RhD blood group identification and clinical blood transfusion in this region.
