ObjectiveTo explore quality difference factors of Perillae Caulis based on the contents of multiple chemical components and comprehensively evaluate the quality. MethodsA total of 32 batches of Perillae Caulis samples were collected from 12 producing areas such as Hebei, Anhui and Guangdong, and their diameter range, epidermis color and producing areas were recorded. Total flavonoids, total phenols, volatile oils, 5 active components and 84 volatile components in 32 batches of samples were quantitatively or semi-quantitatively determined by colorimetry, ultra performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array detector(UPLC-PDA) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS). Then the differences between the contents of these components were analyzed by principal component analysis(PCA) and non-parametric test. According to the weights of the index components determined by PCA model, entropy weight-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution(TOPSIS) model was constructed to evaluate the quality of Perillae Caulis with different characters and origins. ResultsThere were significant differences in the composition of Perillae Caulis with different diameters, epidermis colors and producing areas, and 9 differential components were screened out, including 6 index constituents(total flavonoids, total phenols, caffeic acid, scutellarin, rosmarinic acid and luteolin) and 3 volatile components(caryophyllene oxide, (-)-humulene epoxide Ⅱ, 14-hydroxycaryophyllene), of which 6 index constituents were higher in samples with small diameter, purple-brown epidermis and southern origin, while the contents of 3 volatile components were higher in samples with large diameter, dark-brown epidermis and northern origin. A significant difference was shown in the model scores of different diameters, epidermis colors and origins(P<0.05), and the scores of Perillae Caulis with small diameter and purple-brown epidermis from southern area, especially Guangdong, had a high score. ConclusionThere are significant differences in the composition and content of chemical constituents between different diameters, epidermal colors and production areas of Perillae Caulis, samples showing small diameter, owing purple-brown epidermis, and originating from Guangdong were of higher-quality due to their higher content of 8 key indices.

Ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic, non-specific inflammatory bowel disease with typical symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloody stools, demonstrates a high relapse rate and difficulty in curing. Sishenwan, first recorded in Internal Medicine Abstract (Nei Ke Zhai Yao), are a classic prescription for treating diarrhea caused by deficiency of the spleen and kidney Yang. The core therapeutic principle of Sishenwan is warming and tonifying the spleen and kidney, and astringing the intestine and stopping diarrhea. In recent years, Sishenwan have demonstrated distinct advantages in the clinical treatment of UC. The pathogenesis of UC involves multiple factors, including immune dysregulation and gut microbiota imbalance. Although Western medicine is effective in the short term, its side effects, high relapse rate, and resistance associated with long-term use pose substantial challenges. Sishenwan have shown excellent clinical outcomes in the treatment of UC due to deficiency of the spleen and kidney Yang. Modern clinical studies indicate that Sishenwan, used alone or in combination with Western medicine or other Chinese medicine compound prescriptions, significantly improve the clinical efficacy in treating UC due to deficiency of the spleen and kidney Yang. Sishenwan effectively alleviate core symptoms such as mucus, pus, and blood in stools, and persistent abdominal pain, reduce Mayo scores and the relapse rate, and improve patients' quality of life. Research on the material basis reveals that Sishenwan contain multiple active ingredients such as psoralen, isopsoralen, and evodiamine. Mechanism studies indicate that Sishenwan inhibit the inflammatory cascade reactions by regulating the signal network through multiple targets. Sishenwan regulate cellular immunity and restore intestinal immune homeostasis. At the microecological level, Sishenwan promote the intestinal barrier repair through the "microbiota-metabolism-immunity" axis. The current research still needs to be deepened in aspects such as the mining of specific biomarkers for syndromes and the exploration of the collaborative mechanism of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. In the future, a full-chain system covering syndrome differentiation, targeting, and monitoring needs to be constructed for promoting the paradigm transformation of Sishenwan into precision drugs. This review systematically explains the treatment mechanism of Sishenwan regarding the combination of disease and syndrome and its multi-target regulatory characteristics, providing a theoretical basis and transformation direction for the treatment of UC with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a common clinical autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovitis and pannus formation. In late stage, irreversible destruction and deformation of bone and joint may occur. In this paper, the authors believe that kidney deficiency and essence deficiency is the core mechanism of rheumatoid arthritis bone destruction, and its disease evolution law is summarized as "marrow reduction, flesh flaccid, collaterals blocked". On the basis of modern medical understanding of bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis, it is considered that the mechanism in Chinese medicine of "marrow reduction, flesh flaccid, collaterals blocked" ultimately leads to bone destruction, is similar to that in the western medicine of abnormal differentiation of osteoclasts, high expression of nuclear factor-κB receptor activator of ligand, and abnormal expression of inflammatory factors. This point of view may provide a more comprehensive and scientific understanding of the key pathogenic mechanism of bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis.

OBJECTIVE
To explore the effects of different concentrations of aconitine on the ventricular electrophysiology of the rat heart when applied to the heart.
METHODS
By optical mapping technology, the effects of different concentrations of aconitine on ventricular action potential and calcium signal in rats before and 15 min after administration were observed by in vitro administration of aconitine 0.3, 1, 3 ng·mL−1.
RESULTS
Compared with the blank group, aconitine could be concentration-dependent to delay the conduction of action potentials under both spontaneous and 6 Hz stimulation rhythms, and there was a significant difference at a concentration of 3 ng·mL−1(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with blank group, when the concentration of aconitine was 1 and 3 ng·mL−1, the action potential duration(APD) of the ventricle was significantly prolonged(P<0.01). Aconitine could also increase the dispersion of action potential conduction(P<0.05) and reduce the ratio of effective refractory period(ERP) to APD90(P<0.01). In addition, aconitine could also be concentration-dependent delay of calcium signal conduction, reduce the speed of calcium conduction(P<0.05 or P<0.01), increase the dispersion of calcium conduction and calcium transient duration(P<0.05 or P<0.01), and reduce the amplitude of calcium signal(P<0.01).
CONCLUSION
Using the optical labeling technique, it can be visualized that aconitine induces arrhythmia by concentration-dependent delay of ventricular action potential and calcium signaling in rats.To explore the effects of different concentrations of aconitine on the ventricular electrophysiology of the rat heart when applied to the heart.
