Xiaoji Yinzi is one of the classic prescriptions for treating urinary diseases, originated from the Yan's Prescriptions to Aid the Living (Yan Shi Ji Sheng Fang) written by YAN Yonghe in the Song dynasty. Xiaoji Yinzi is composed of Rehmanniae Radix, Cirsii Herba, Talcum, Akebiae Caulis, Typhae Pollen, Nelumbinis Rhizomatis Nodus, Lophatheri Herba, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Gardeniae Fructus, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and has the effects of cooling blood and stopping bleeding, draining water and relieving stranguria. The medical experts of later generations have inherited the original prescription recorded in the Yan's Prescriptions to Aid the Living, while dispute has emerged during the inheritance of this prescription. In this study, the method of bibliometrics was employed to review and analyze the ancient documents and modern clinical studies involving Xiaoji Yinzi. The results showed that Xiaoji Yinzi has two dosage forms: powder and decoction. According to the measurement system in the Song Dynasty, the modern doses of hers in Xiaoji Yinzi were transformed. In the prepration of Xiaoji Yinzi powder, 149.2 g of Rehmanniae Radix and 20.65 g each of Cirsii Herba, Talcum, Akebiae Caulis, stir-fried Typhae Pollen, Nelumbinis Rhizomatis Nodus, Lophatheri Herba, wine-processed Angelicae Sinensis Radix, stir-fried Gardeniae Fructus, and stir-fried Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma are grounded into fine powder with the particle size of 4-10 meshes and a decocted with 450 mL water to reach a volume of 240 mL. After removal of the residue, the decoction was taken warm before meals, 3 times a day (i.e., 7.77 g Rehmanniae Radix and 0.97 g each of the other herbs each time). In the preparation of Xiaoji Yinzi decoction, 20.65 g each of the above 10 herbs are used, with stir-fried Typhae Pollen, wine-processed Angelica Sinensis Radix, stir-fired Gardeniae Fructus, stir-fired Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and raw materials of other herbs. Xiaoji Yinzi is specialized in treating hematuresis and blood stranguria due to heat accumulation in lower energizer, which causes injury of the blood collaterals of gallbladder and dysfunction of Qi transformation. In modern clinical practice, Xiaoji Yinzi is specifically used for treating urinary diseases and can be expanded to treat diseases of the cardiovascular system and other systems according to pathogenesis. The comprehensive research on the key information could provide a scientific reference for the future development of Xiaoji Yinzi.

ObjectiveTo study the anti-inflammatory effects of Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC oil (BBO) based on nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) nonclassical and arachidonic acid (AA) pathway. MethodsEffects of BBO on the production of slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) were detected by the ileal smooth muscle method. The contents of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in lipopolysaccharides (LPS) -induced macrophages were detected by ELISA kit. The expression of COX-2, 5-LOX, FLAP and RelB were detected by qRT-PCR. Western blot was performed to detect the effects of BBO on the level of NF-κB nonclassical pathway proteins TNF receptor associated factor 3 (TRAF3), TNF receptor associated factor 2 (TRAF2), NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK), p100 and RelB. ResultsThe contractile tension of guinea pig ileum was reduced (P<0.001), and the SRS-A production inhibition rate reached 65.34% at 1mg·mL-1 BBO concentration. Compared with LPS group, BBO reduced the concentrations of PGE2 (P<0.05) and LTB4 (P<0.05), and decreased the expressions of COX-2 (P<0.05), 5-LOX (P<0.05) and FLAP (P<0.05) in AA pathway at concentrations of 40-80 μg·mL-1. Moreover, 40-80 μg·mL-1 BBO decreased the concentrations of TRAF3 (P<0.05), TRAF2 (P<0.05), and NIK (P<0.05), and further inhibited the phosphorylation of p100 (P<0.05), as well as the level of the transcription factor RelB in genes (P<0.05) and proteins (P<0.05) in nonclassical NF-κB pathway, whereas BBO did not cause such changes. ConclusionBBO may potentially exert its anti-inflammatory effects by suppressing the regulatory proteins TRAF3 and TRAF2 and the transcription factor RelB in NF-κB nonclassical pathway. The inhibitory action extending to the induction kinase function of NIK, further hindering the phosphorylation of p100 and its binding with the transcription factor RelB. Consequently, downstream elements in the AA pathway, including the pivotal rate-limiting enzymes COX-2, 5-LOX and FLAP, were altered. This modulation influences the levels of inflammatory mediators such as PGE2 and LTB4.

In order to develop a more effective drug for dry eye disease, the preparation of lifitegrast eye drops was carried out, and the safety and efficacy of lifitegrast eye drops in vitro and in vivo were investigated. First the method for the determination of lifitegrast content was established, and then the composition and preparation process of the preparation were determined by literature review and single factor experiment. Finally, the safety of lifitegrast eye drops was evaluated by Draize eye irritation test and HE staining, and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated by Schirmer test and ELISA test. The results showed that the final prescription of lifitegrast eye drops consisted of 5% lifitegrast, 0.4% sodium chloride, 0.3%−0.4% anhydrous disodium hydrogen phosphate, 0.3% sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate and 0.3% sodium hydroxide. The appearance of lifitegrast eye drops was transparent and slightly brownish yellow solution, the pH was7.75±0.05, the osmotic pressure was in the range of 200−330 mOsmol/kg and it had good stability at 60℃ for 3 months. There was no significant difference in irritation study compared with normal saline. Schirmer test showed that tear secretion was increased and the expression of inflammatory factors IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α in tears were significantly decreased after treatment with lifitegrast eye drops and compared to the commercially available emulsion cyclosporine eye drops, it takes effect faster. The above results indicate that lifitegrast eye drops are simple to prepare and stable, which is a better choice for the rapid treatment of dry eye disease.

AIM: To evaluate the binocular visual function in high myopia patients after the implantation of implantable collamer lens(ICL)V4c.METHODS: A total of 35 cases(70 eyes)that received binocular ICL implantation at our hospital from May 2019 to May 2021 were enrolled in this prospective study. Binocular full-range visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, stereopsis, mesopic vision and glare sensitivity, and monocular wavefront and the quality of vision questionnaire were assessed before the surgery and at 1 mo postoperatively.RESULTS: At 1 mo postoperatively, 35 cases(100%)had binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA)≤0.00(LogMAR), 16 cases(46%)had binocular UDVA≥preoperative corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA). Binocular UDVA and uncorrected intermediate visual acuity(UIVA,80 cm)were improved compared to preoperative CDVA and distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity(DCIVA,80 cm)(all P<0.05).While there were no differences in the binocular postoperative UIVA(60 cm)and preoperative DCIVA(60 cm),and uncorrected near visual acuity(UNVA,40 cm)and preoperative distance-corrected near visual acuity(DCNVA,40 cm)(all P>0.05). The binocular contrast sensitivity was significantly improved postoperatively(P=0.001), and the postoperative binocular mesopic vision, glare sensitivity(no glare/glare)and binocular stereopsis(5 m/40 cm)had no differences(all P>0.05). The postoperative total higher-order aberration, trefoil aberration, coma and spherical aberration were increased, besides the median of total coma in the right eye with a pupil diameter of 3.0 mm was decreased after surgery. The mean total score of quality of vision questionnaire was significantly increased from 54.87 preoperatively to 80.92 after implantation(P<0.05), with high satisfaction and no obvious visual disturbance in patients.CONCLUSION: Although the monocular high-order aberrations increased in the early stage after ICL V4c binocular implantation in patients with high myopia, the binocular visual function was improved.

OBJECTIVE To mine the adverse drug events (ADE) signals for gilteritinib, and provide a reference for safe drug use in clinic. METHODS ADE reports with gilteritinib as the primary suspected drug were extracted from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from February 1st, 2018 to December 31st, 2023. Reporting odds ratio (ROR) and proportional reporting ratio (PRR) were applied to detect the risk signals from the data in the FAERS database. The classification and statistics of collected signal data were conducted by using the preferred term (PT) and systemic organ class (SOC) in ADE terminology set of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (24.1 edition). RESULTS Totally, 2 755 gilteritinib-related ADE reports were collected from the database, involving 676 ADE signals (95 positive signals), 313 PTs and 25 SOCs. Among them, nine signals were not recorded in the package insert. The top 5 PTs consisted of abnormal liver function, decreased platelet count, febrile neutropenia, pneumonia and myelosuppression. The top 6 SOCs for positive signal counts were examinations, general disorders and administration site conditions, respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders, infections and infestations, heart organ disorders, and nervous system disorders. ADEs not recorded in the drug package insert included pneumonia, myelosuppression, decreased blood cell count, sepsis, hemorrhage, infection (not specifically referred to), septic shock, respiratory failure, and aspergillosis. CONCLUSIONS In addition to paying attention to common ADEs such as liver dysfunction and thrombocytopenia, it is necessary to monitor ADEs with strong signals that are not mentioned in the drug instructions when using gefitinib, such as pneumonia, bone marrow suppression, cytopenia, sepsis, bleeding, infection (not specifically referred to), septic shock, respiratory failure, Aspergillus infection, elevated serum creatinine and interstitial lung disease.
