By consulting the ancient and modern literature, the name, origin, quality evaluation, harvesting and processing methods of Curculiginis Rhizoma(CR) were systematically combed and verified, in order to provide a basis for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing CR. The results of herbal textual research showed that the name Xianmao was first recorded in Leigong Paozhilun, the name of CR was used in all dynasties and this name came from its efficacy and morphological characteristics, the mainstream source for CR of the past dynasties was the rhizome of Curculigo orchioides or C. capitulata, since modern times, C. orchioides has been the main source of commodities. In ancient times, most of the places of origin of the description were the western regions and southwest China, while in modern times, Sichuan and Guizhou were regarded as genuine places. Since modern times, its quality has been summarized as the best with thick roots, firm texture and black-brown surface, the harvesting and processing methods recorded in the past dynasties are mainly sun drying after harvest in the second, eighth and ninth months of the lunar calendar, and most of them are harvested in autumn and winter in modern times. In ancient times, there were many processing methods of CR, mainly in processing with rice swill, while in modern times, stir-frying with wine was the main processing method. The nature, taste, meridian tropism, functions and indications of CR are basically consistent from ancient to modern times, the taboos for taking are to avoid iron, cow's milk, and beef. Although there are some differences in the understanding of the toxicity of CR in the past dynasties, most of the materia medica are clear that it has a certain toxicity. Based on the research conclusion, it is suggested that the rhizome of C. orchioides of Lycoris family should be used as its source in the famous classical formulas, and the corresponding processing method should be selected according to the processing requirements in the formulas, while the raw products is recommended to be selected as medicine if the processing requirement is not specified.

The occurrence of benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH)was related to disrupted sex steroid hormones,and metformin(Met)had a clinical response to sex steroid hormone-related gynaecological disease.How-ever,whether Met exerts an antiproliferative effect on BPH via sex steroid hormones remains unclear.Here,our clinical study showed that along with prostatic epithelial cell(PEC)proliferation,sex steroid hormones were dysregulated in the serum and prostate of BPH patients.As the major contributor to dysregulated sex steroid hormones,elevated dihydrotestosterone(DHT)had a significant positive rela-tionship with the clinical characteristics of BPH patients.Activation of adenosine 5'-monophosphate(AMP)-activated protein kinase(AMPK)by Met restored dysregulated sex steroid hormone homeostasis and exerted antiproliferative effects against DHT-induced proliferation by inhibiting the formation of androgen receptor(AR)-mediated Yes-associated protein(YAP1)-TEA domain transcription factor(TEAD4)heterodimers.Met's anti-proliferative effects were blocked by AMPK inhibitor or YAP1 over-expression in DHT-cultured BPH-1 cells.Our findings indicated that Met would be a promising clinical therapeutic approach for BPH by inhibiting dysregulated steroid hormone-induced PEC proliferation.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mild hypothermia for patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI).Methods:PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China Biology Medicine Disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, and VIP Database were searched for prospective randomized controlled researches on mild hypothermia and normothermia for patients with sTBI. The search time was from the establishment of the databases to February 2023. RevMan 5.3 software was used for Meta-analysis. The evaluation indicators included literature search results, basic characteristics and quality of the literature, poor prognosis rate and mortality at 6 and 12 months after treatment, incidence of pulmonary infection, arrhythmia, thrombocytopenia, intracranial infection, renal insufficiency, gastrointestinal ulcer/bleeding and electrolyte disorder during the treatment, and publication bias.Results:A total of 16 papers involving 2 640 patients were included, comprising 1 381 patients in the mild hypothermia group and 1 259 patients in the normothermia group. The poor prognosis rate in the mild hypothermia group was significantly lower than that in the normothermia group at 6 and 12 months after treatment ( RR=0.81, 95% CI 0.69, 0.95, P<0.01; RR=0.65, 95% CI 0.51, 0.84, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the mortality between the two groups at 6 and 12 months after treatment ( RR=0.81, 95% CI 0.61, 1.08, P>0.05; RR=0.69, 95% CI 0.47, 1.03, P>0.05). In contrast with the the normothermia group, in the mild hypothermia group the incidence of pulmonary infection was significantly different ( RR=1.18, 95% CI 1.04, 1.34, P<0.01); the incidence of arrhythmia was not significantly different ( RR=1.35, 95% CI 0.73, 2.49, P>0.05); the incidence of thrombocytopenia was significantly different ( RR=1.78, 95% CI 1.34, 2.37, P<0.01); the incidence of intracranial infection was not significantly different ( RR=1.32, 95% CI 0.54, 3.23, P>0.05); the incidence of renal insufficiency was not significantly different ( RR=1.22, 95% CI 0.71, 2.09, P>0.05); the incidence of gastrointestinal ulcer/bleeding was not significantly different ( RR=0.98, 95% CI 0.73, 1.31, P>0.05); the incidence of electrolyte disorders was not significantly different ( RR=1.39, 95% CI 1.00, 1.94, P>0.05). The funnel plot was approximately symmetrical and the scattered points were concentrated in the narrow area in the upper part of the funnel plot, suggesting no publication bias. Conclusions:In comparison with normothermia for sTBI, mild hypothermia can not reduce the mortality at 6 and 12 months after treatment, but it can reduce the incidence of poor prognosis at 6 and 12 months after treatment. Moreover, mild hypothermia has no obvious effect on the incidence of arrhythmia, intracranial infection, renal insufficiency, gastrointestinal ulcer/bleeding, and electrolyte disorder, but it can increase the incidence of pulmonary infection and thrombocytopenia.
