Huopo Xialingtang is a famous classical formula for treating dampness and warmth， which is included in the Catalogue of Ancient Famous Classical Formulas（The First Batch）. In this paper， bibliometric methods was used to collect the literature related to Huopo Xialingtang， and 16 items of related literature were retrieved， involving five medical books， which were used to textual research on the origin， name， composition， drug dosage， preparation method， processing and main treatment symptoms of this formula. The results indicated that Huopo Xialingtang was originated from Yiyuan written by Shi Funan in the Qing dynasty， and and was later named and extended by He Lianchen. The composition of the proposed formula was consistent with the record of Yiyuan， and the origin of each Chinese materia medica was basically clear. Houpo was the dried bark and root bark of Magnolia officinalis， Zexie was the dried tubers of Alisma orientale， Kuxingren was the dried mature seeds of Prunus armeniaca， Doukou was the dried mature fruits of Amomum kravanh， the origin of Tuhuoxiang was consistent with the 2018 edition of Shanghai Standards of Processing Chinese Crud Drugs， and the origins of the remaining Chinese medicines were consistent with the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The converted dose of each Chinese medicine was 7.46 g for Agastache rugosa， 3.73 g for Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex， 8.39 g for Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum cum Zingibere et Alumine， 11.19 g for Poria， 11.19 g for Armeniacae Semen Amarum， 14.92 g for Coicis Semen， 2.61 g for Amomi Fructus Rotundus， 5.60 g for Polyporus， 5.60 g for Alismatis Rhizoma， 14.92 g for Tetrapanacis Medulla. Huopo Xialingtang was initially used for the treatment of dampness and warmth at the beginning of the disease， and was later expanded to treat dampness obstruction， dampness-warming dysentery and so on， but always with the dampness-heat in the lungs and spleen as the pathogenesis. In modern times， the clinical application is more extensive， used in digestive， respiratory， endocrine， nervous system and other types of diseases， especially for chronic gastritis， stomach pain and fever. By combing the ancient literature of Huopo Xialingtang， we verified the origin of the formula and determined the key information of the prescription， which can provide literature reference for the clinical application and drug development of this formula.

Da Qinjiaotang is the 54^th formula of the 100 formulas in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Formulas （the first batch） ，and it originated from the Collection of Writings on the Mechanism of Disease， Suitability of Qi， and Safeguarding of Life Discussed in Plain Questions. Da Qinjiaotang is composed of Gentiana macrophylla， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， Ligusticum chuanxiong， Angelica sinensis， Paeonia lactiflora， Asari Radix et Rhizoma， Notopterygium incisum， Saposhnikoviae Radix， Scutellariae Radix， Gypsum， Angelica dahurica， Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma， Rehmanniae Radix， Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata， Poria， and Angelicae Pubescentis Radix. It is a classical formula for treating strokes. Da Qinjiaotang is widely used in modern clinical practices for treating ischemic stroke， peripheral facial paralysis， cervical spondylosis， rheumatic arthritis， neurodermatitis， and other multisystem diseases. Therefore， following the Principles of Textual Research on the Key Information of Ancient Classical Famous Formulas， the authors collected the ancient Chinese medical literature of Da Qinjiaotang by the method of bibliometrics and screened out 177 valid data， involving 100 ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on the historical evolution， composition， dosage， method of preparation， and preparation of the original medicinal materials of Da Qinjiaotang， a systematic study was carried out. It was found that among the 175 records of the main diseases and syndromes， stroke （144） was the most， accounting for 82.29% of the total diseases and syndromes. Later generations mostly followed the practice of LIU Wansu in using Da Qinjiaotang to treat stroke caused by "weak blood and inability to nourish tendon"， featuring "hands and feet cannot move， stiff tongue hinders speaking"， as well as other symptoms， such as slant of the mouth， hemiplegia， numbness of the limbs， paroxysmal pain， and acerbic syncope. The treatment scope was expanded， covering tendon dryness， clonic convulsion， spasm syndrome， and arthralgia syndrome. At the same time， it was found that there was a controversy between "internal wind" and "external wind" in the treatment of stroke by Da Qinjiaotang. LIU Wansu thought that stroke was caused by internal factors， created the theory of "hot stroke"， and used Da Qinjiaotang to treat "internal wind". Many doctors in later generations focused on treating the "external wind" of "internal deficiency and evil". There were 76 valid data on the composition of drugs， 59 of which had doses for each drug. It was suggested to use the modern conversion dosage of the original formula， with 41.30 g per dose. The drug should be boiled in 600 mL water until 300 mL， decocted once， and taken in a warm state after removing the dregs anytime. Through the analysis and study of the ancient books about Da Qinjiaotang， the paper clarified its historical evolution and confirmed its key information， so as to provide the ancient literature evidence for the research and development of the classical famous formula Daqinjiaotan and its better clinical application.

Objective:To discuss the clinical curative effect of the treatment of bundling bone fragment with figure-of-eight suture through double bone tunnels in the chronic bong mallet finger.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with chronic bong mallet fingers who underwent surgery in the Department of Hand and Foot Microsurgery of Nanjing Jiangbei Hospital from May 2021 to February 2023. During the procedure, made into transverse double bone tunnels on the base of the distal phalanx with 0. 8 mm Kirschner wire, bundling bone fragment with figure-of-eight suture through double bone tunnels, then fixed with Kirschner wire elastic compression. Removal of the Kirschner wire 3 weeks after the procedure, the active flexion and extension range of the joints of the affected finger and the corresponding finger were measured at the last follow-up, then the range of motion (ROM) of the distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) and total action movement (TAM) of the fingers (affected and healthy finger) were recorded. The curative effects were evaluated according to the TAM system of the American Association of Hand Surgeons, including 4 grades: excellent, good, fair, and poor. SPSS 13. 0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data, and the measurement data conforming to normal distribution were expressed as Mean ± SD. The ROM of DIPJ and TAM of the affected finger were compared with the corresponding healthy finger 6 months after surgery by a paired sample t test. P<0. 05 indicates that the difference is statistically significant. Results:A total of 30 patients (30 digits) were enrolled, including 19 males and 11 females, and the age ranged from 18 to 62 years old, with an average age of 31 years old. The time from injury to operation was 24 to 65 days (mean of 35 days) . According to Wehbe and Schneider classification, there were 8 cases of type Ⅰa, 6 cases of type Ⅰb, 7 cases of type Ⅱa, 5 cases of type Ⅱb, 2 cases of type Ⅲa and 2 cases of type Ⅲb. All incisions healed well, the intraoperative blood loss was minimal, with no infection. All 30 cases were followed up for 6 to 7 months. All fractures were well aligned and healed, malformed fingers were completely corrected, and no needle tunnel infection or needle breakage were observed. At the last follow-up, the differences of the ROM of the DIPJ [ (30. 2±3. 5) °vs. (30. 4±3. 3) °, t=2. 57, P=0. 463] and the TAM [ (235. 3± 3. 6) ° vs. (237. 7± 4. 2) °, t=1. 78, P= 0. 247 ] between the affected and healthy fingers were not statistically significant. Finger function assessment: 27 cases were excellent, and 3 cases were good, and the excellent and good rate was 100%. Conclusion:Satisfactory therapeutic outcome for the treatment of chronic bong mallet finger deformity can be achieved by bundling bone fragment with figure-of-eight suture through double bone tunnels. It is an effective and practical method.

Objective:To determine the frequency and characteristics of AZF microdeletions of Y chromosome and karyotypic abnormalities among infertile male patients from southwest China. Methods:4 278 infertile male patients treated at West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University from September 2018 to July 2023 were selected as the study subjects. Results of Y chromosome microdeletion detection and G-banded karyotyping analysis were retrospectively reviewed.Results:Clinical data of the patients were collected, which have included 2 048 patients with azoospermia, 1 536 patients with oligozoospermia, 310 patients with mild to moderate oligozoospermia, and 384 patients with infertility but normal sperm concentration. An abnormal karyotype was found in 213 (8.80%) of 2 421 patients who had undergone karyotyping analysis. The frequency of Y chromosome microdeletions was 9.86% (422/4 278), which had occurred in 10.4%, 13.28%, 0.97% and 0.52% of the cases with azoospermia, severe oligozoospermia, mild to moderate oligozoospermia, and infertility with normal sperm concentration, respectively.Conclusion:Y chromosome microdeletion detection and karyotyping analysis are crucial for assessing the cause of male infertility. Early diagnosis can facilitate the selection of reproductive methods.

Objective To analyze medication patterns and the targets and pathways of core drug combinations in treatment of palpitation.Methods The prescriptions of Li Yaping for treatment of palpitation from March 2023 to March 2024 were collected,and frequency counts of drugs'nature and flavour,channel tropism,and efficacy were performed.Apriori algorithm,association rules,and clustering analysis were carried out using SPSS Modeler 18.0 and SPSS 26.0.The core drugs and disease targets were searched,and gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)analysis were performed on the targets of their therapeutic action for palpitation.Results A total of 220 prescriptions were collected,involving 192 flavors of traditional Chinese medicines,with a cumulative medication frequency of 3978 times,and 18 flavors of high-frequency medicines.The medicines were mainly tonics,sedative,and promoting blood circulation for removing blood stasis.The distribution of medicinal properties were mainly warm,cold and flat.The medicinal flavors were mainly sweet,bitter and pungent,and channel tropism were mostly heart,liver and spleen channel.Association rule analysis showed that Radix Angelicae Sinensis,Radix et Rhizoma Salviae Miltiorrhizae,Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae,Radix Ophiopogonis,and Radix Astragali were the core drugs.Cluster analysis showed that there was 3 cluster combinations.In the network pharmacology part,there were 181 targets intersected by drug combinations and diseases.KEGG analysis showed that the core drugs for palpitation mainly involved signaling pathways such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B,hypoxia-inducible factor-1,mitogen-activated protein kinase,interleukin-17,etc.GO analysis obtained 1000 GO pathways,of which 760 were biological processes,93 were cellular components,and 147 were molecular functions.Conclusion In the treatment of palpitation,Li Yaping advocates benefiting qi and promoting yang,removing blood stasis and eliminating turbidity,and tranquilizing the mind,emphasizing the"two hearts in the same adjustment",and treating the heart and liver at the same time,taking into account the spleen and stomach,and the combination of core medicines can intervene in the course of palpitation through multi-components,multi-targets,and multi-pathways,which is of great significance for the treatment of palpitation in the clinical setting.

Objective To perform genetic analysis in a family line of a pregnant couple with autosomal reces-sive non-syndromic deafness in order to identify its possible genetic etiology and provide prenatal diagnosis.Methods Whole-exome sequencing(WES)was used to analyze the genes of the proband,and Sanger sequencing was used to verify the suspected pathogenic loci.Prenatal genetic diagnosis was performed after amniotic fluid collection at 18 weeks of pregnancy.Results Autosomal recessive deafness type 3 related gene MYO15A c.10419_10423delCAGCT/c.10294_10308delCCTTGCATCCTTGCC compound heterozygous variant was found in the wife.A compound heterozygous variant of autosomal recessive deafness type 77-related gene LOXHD1:c.6388C＞T/ex-on 33-38 del.Maternal MYO15A c.10294_10308del CCTTGCATCCTTGCC heterozygous variant were detected in the husband and paternal LOXHD1 exon 33-38 del heterozygous variant were detected in the fetus.At the same time,the paternal CDH23 c.6693delT heterozygous mutation and the maternal PCDH15 c.5048_5051dupAGAA heterozygous mutation were detected in the fetus.These two heterozygous mutations lead to the possibility of the fe-tus suffering from ID/F Usher syndrome.Conclusion The deafness of the couple is caused by two different deaf gene mutations,and the probability of the fetus having the same deafness as the couple is very low.However,the fetus has a high possibility of having deafness caused by two gene mutations.Therefore,deafness caused by two gene mutations should be paid attention to in the prenatal diagnosis of families with both deaf parents.

Heme, which exists widely in living organisms, is a porphyrin compound with a variety of physiological functions. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is an important industrial strain with the characteristics of easy cultivation and strong ability for expression and secretion of proteins. In order to screen the optimal starting strain for heme synthesis, the laboratory preserved strains were screened with and without addition of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). There was no significant difference in the heme production of strains BA, BAΔ6 and BAΔ6ΔsigF. However, upon addition of ALA, the heme titer and specific heme production of strain BAΔ6ΔsigF were the highest, reaching 200.77 μmol/L and 615.70 μmol/(L·g DCW), respectively. Subsequently, the hemX gene (encoding the cytochrome assembly protein HemX) of strain BAΔ6ΔsigF was knocked out to explore its role in heme synthesis. It was found that the fermentation broth of the knockout strain turned red, while the growth was not significantly affected. The highest ALA concentration in flask fermentation reached 82.13 mg/L at 12 h, which was slightly higher than that of the control 75.11 mg/L. When ALA was not added, the heme titer and specific heme production were 1.99 times and 1.45 times that of the control, respectively. After adding ALA, the heme titer and specific heme production were 2.08 times and 1.72 times higher than that of the control, respectively. Real-time quantitative fluorescent PCR showed that the expressions of hemA, hemL, hemB, hemC, hemD, and hemQ genes at transcription level were up-regulated. We demonstrated that deletion of hemX gene can improve the production of heme, which may facilitate future development of heme-producing strain.

Danggui Liuhuangtang is the 47^th of the 100 famous classical formulas published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine， and is known as the holy medicine for night sweat. By bibliometrics， the authors collected the ancient books on Danggui Liuhuangtang and screened out 269 valid data， involving 156 ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine. The analysis on the historical origin， disease syndromes， pathogenesis， composition， dosage， preparation， usage， and processing of Danggui Liuhuangtang found that this famous classical formula originated from Secret Book of the Orchid Chamber （《兰室秘藏》） written by LI Dongyuan， and is composed of Angelicae Sinensis Radix， Rehmanniae Radix， Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata， Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex， Scutellariae Radix， Coptidis Rhizoma and Astragali Radix. It has the functions of nourishing Yin， reducing fire， consolidating exterior and stopping sweating， and mainly treats night sweat due to Yin deficiency and fire exuberance. In the later generations， disease syndromes are mostly treated based on LI Dongyuan's theory， and have expanded to more than 30 kinds （339 in total）， among which night sweat （208） was the most， accounting for 61.36% of the total disease syndromes， followed by spontaneous sweating （38）， accounting for 11.21%. Additionally， it was found that Danggui Liuhuangtang was widely used in modern clinical practice for various disease syndromes. Among them， endocrine disease （77， 28.21%） was predominant， followed by gynecological disease （48， 17.58%）， and pediatric disease （24， 8.79%）. Although Danggui Liuhuangtang treats many disease syndromes， their pathogenesis was always yin deficiency and fire exuberance. Through the systematic excavation of the ancient books on Danggui Liuhuangtang and the analysis of its modern clinical application， this paper probed into the historical evolution and confirmed the key information of the formula， providing detailed literature basis for the research and development application of famous classical formulas.
