Danggui Sinitang is first recorded in the Treatise on Cold Damage written by ZHANG Zhongjing in the Han dynasty. It is composed of Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Paeoniae Radix Alba, Asari Radix et Rhizoma, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Tetrapanacis Medulla, and Jujubae Fructus and serves as a classic formula for treating the syndrome of blood deficiency and cold reversal. This study systematically reviews the records of Danggui Sinitang in ancient Chinese medicine books of various dynasties and the modern clinical applications to probe into the composition, plant species, processing, dosage, decocting method, and indications of Danggui Sinitang, aiming to provide a reference for the development and clinical application of this classic formula. The review of the records showed that there were a variety of records of Danggui Sinitang with different composition, and the composition of this formula listed in the Treatise on Cold Damage has a significant impact on later generations and has been used by medical practitioners throughout history. Although the dosage of some drugs decreased during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the medical practitioners continued to use the original formula. In terms of processing, although there were slight changes in the processing of Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Paeoniae Radix Alba, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and Tetrapanacis Medulla, the original processing method was inherited. In terms of indications, Danggui Sinitang was designed to treat cold reversal due to blood deficiency and dysentery. Furthermore, it was used to treat headache, convulsive disease, infantile convulsion, and private part adduction in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Nowadays, this formula is mostly used to treat diabetes peripheral neuropathy, rheumatoid arthritis, dysmenorrhea, Raynaud's disease and other diseases. In terms of precautions, ancient physicians believed that Danggui Sinitang should not be taken by pregnant women and should only be used for limb chills caused by blood deficiency and cold coagulation. For limb chills caused by other reasons, this formula should not be used indiscriminately. Modern research has not reported any serious adverse reactions related to this formula. Danggui Sinitang has a definite therapeutic effect. In subsequent research and development, quality control standards of Danggui Sinitang should be established while its safety is ensured, and the related preparations should be developed and applied.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors and implementation paths of medical and preventive integration of chronic disease in county medical communities (CMCs), providing references for further promoting the integration of medical and prevention and improving the collaborative mechanism of medical and prevention.Methods:From October to November 2023, based on the principle of geographically balanced sampling, medical staff from 6 leading hospitals and 18 other member units of 6 CMCs in Zhejiang Province were selected as survey subjects. A self-designed survey questionnaire was conducted, mainly including the development and evaluation of chronic disease medical and preventive integration services in CMCs. The service development was designed according to the collaborative symbiosis management model, including 4 dimensions of collaborative symbiosis scenarios, willingness, ability, and process, as well as 11 secondary elements. Using secondary elements as the conditional variables and the integration effect of chronic disease medical and prevention as the outcome variable, a qualitative comparative analysis method was used to explore the relationship between multiple conditional variables and their combinations with high integration effect of chronic disease medical and prevention.Results:571 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 96.62%. The consistency of a single secondary element(including conditional non sets) on the high effectiveness of medical and preventive integration was less than 0.9, which cannot constitute a necessary condition for explaining the outcome variable. The configuration analysis results showed that the consistency of the condition combination formed by the interaction of multiple secondary elements was 0.835-0.845, indicating that the condition combination of multiple elements constituted a sufficient non necessary condition for the high integration effect of chronic disease medical and prevention. The configuration path for achieving high integration of medical and preventive effects could be divided into four categories, among which the feature of scenario-process dominance was to create a perfect service scenario and service process as the main focus; The characteristic of the willingness-process dominant type was to stimulate the service willingness of medical staff and improve the service process as the leading factor; The characteristic of the scenario-willingness-ability dominant type was to create a comprehensive service scenario, stimulate the service willingness of medical staff, and enhance service capabilities as the main focus; The characteristic of the willingness-ability-process dominant type was to stimulate the service willingness of medical staff, enhance service capabilities, and improve the service process as the dominant factor. In addition, the four types of configuration paths mentioned above all covered the two secondary elements of endogenous dynamics and professional competence, with a total coverage of 0.626 and a total consistency of 0.821.Conclusions:The configuration path formed through the interaction of multiple elements can effectively achieve the integration of chronic disease medical and prevention. The CMCs should choose the appropriate configuration path based on the actual situation. In addition, special attention should be paid to the endogenous motivation and professional capacity building of medical staff.

Objective:To construct a primary health care institutions performance evaluation index system from the perspective of health value orientation under the background of countywide medical alliances construction.Methods:From May 2021 to February 2022, preliminary screening was made on core performance evaluation indexes via literature review; purposive sampling was used to select the dean/vice dean, persons in charge of medical service, and those in charge of public health service responsible for performance evaluation at the community health service center. Then semi-structured interviews were made on the existing performance evaluation and assessment plans as well as existing problems of primary medical and health institutions. Based on the " input-process-output" performance evaluation model, the thematic framework analysis method was used to analyze the interview data, and combined with literature research results, a preliminary performance evaluation index system for primary medical and health institutions was built under the guidance of health value. From March to May 2022, the Delphi expert consultation method was used to evaluate the importance and operability of indexes. The threshold method was used to screen indexes, and analytic hierarchy process was used to calculate the weights of evaluation indexes.Results:The health value oriented performance evaluation index system for primary healthcare institutions included 3 first-level indexes, 9 second-level indexes, and 50 third-level indexes. The first-level indexes were output (0.377 3), input (0.336 3), and process (0.286 4) in descending order of weight. The top three weighted second-level indexes were health manpower(0.177 8), health literacy and health outcomes (0.157 6), as well as responsiveness and satisfaction (0.142 6). The third-level indexes included 17 medical indexes, 16 prevention indexes, and 17 medical prevention integration indexes. The top three weighted indexes for inpatient services were resident satisfaction with medical treatment (0.052 4), medical staff satisfaction (0.050 1), and responsiveness of residents seeking medical treatment (0.040 1); The top three weighted third-level indexes excluding inpatient services were resident satisfaction with medical treatment (0.052 4), medical staff satisfaction (0.050 1), and surplus funds used for personnel incentives (0.045 5).Conclusions:The performance evaluation index system of primary health care institutions built under the health value orientation is scientific, conducive to promoting the health-orientated transformation and improving the efficiency of primary health care services.

Da Qinjiaotang is a common classical prescription for the treatment of stroke. It originates from Collection of Writings on the Mechanism of Disease, Suitability of Qi, and the Safeguarding of Life as Discussed in the Basic Questions (《素问病机气宜保命集》) by physician LIU Wansu, and is composed of Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Chuanxiong Rhizoma, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Paeoniae Radix Alba, Asari Radix et Rhizoma, Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix, Saposhnikoviae Radix, Scutellariae Radix, Gypsum Fibrosum, Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Rehmanniae Radix, Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, Poria, and Angelicae Pubescentis Radix. Doctors of all dynasties have disputed the composition principle of the prescription and argued whether its treatment of stroke belongs to the theory of "internal wind" or "external wind". Through collating and analyzing ancient and modern literature related to the indications of Da Qinjiaotang, this paper was dedicated to the origin of syndrome differentiation and treatment of Da Qinjiaotang. According to LIU Wansu's original works, Da Qinjiaotang is a prescription for the treatment of "internal wind", and in the prescription, wind medicinal herbs such as Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix, Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix and Angelicae Pubescentis Radix removes stagnation, clears sweat pore, and makes qi and blood channels flow smoothly. However, later generations, affected by the idea of "external wind", believe that this prescription is used for the treatment of "external wind". Ancient physicians gradually supplemented the symptoms of stroke, such as wry eye and mouth, hemibody pain and limb numbness, which were treated by Da Qinjiaotang, and Da Qinjiaotang was also applied to the treatment of other diseases, such as tendon dryness, convulsion and arthralgia. Modern doctors still explain the disease pathogenesis from the theory of "external wind" as deficiency in channels and collaterals and the entry of pathogenic wind, and the prescription has the effect of dispersing wind, clearing heat and nourishing and activating blood. In clinical practice, Da Qinjiaotang is mainly used to treat cerebrovascular diseases and peripheral facial paralysis in nervous system diseases, gouty arthritis and rheumatic arthritis in the rheumatic immune system and skin diseases. The above findings facilitate the research and development of Da Qinjiaotang.

This article has systematically reviewed the name, origin, scientific name, producing area, quality evaluation, harvesting and processing methods of Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma(POR) by consulting the materia medica, medical books, prescription books and modern literature, in order to provide a reference for the development of famous classical formulas containing POR. Yuzhu was first recorded in the Shennong Bencaojing under the name of Nyuwei. After that, Weirui was used as the rectification name in the subsequent dynasties, and in recent times, the name of Yuzhu is mostly used in materia medica and prescription books. In ancient times, there were different names for Yuzhu, such as Nyuwei, Weiwei and Weirui. The names of the three are similar and there was a mixed use of the same name and foreign matter in history. In the Tang dynasty, SU Jing listed Nyuwei with the effect of curing dysentery in the intermediate of herbal part of Xinxiu Bencao according to its different efficacy. However, based on Shennong Bencaojing, Mingyi Bielu and the different energy efficiency of medical prescriptions, SU Song of the Northern Song dynasty believed that the three were medicinal materials of different origins. In short, the names of the three have been unclear in history for a long time. According to the development of the time line, this paper examines the names and realities of the three, and concludes that the two(Weiwei and Weirui) are the same medicinal material, that is, Polygonatum odoratum of Liliaceae, and the Nyuwei is Clematis apiifolia of Ranunculaceae, and the source relationship of the three is clarified. The mainstream source of Yuzhu used in the past dynasties was the rhizome of P. odoratum, which was widely distributed in the wild and has a large amount of resources. The origins of Yuzhu recorded in ancient times were mainly Taishan in Shandong, Chuzhou and Shuzhou in Anhui, and Hanzhong in Shaanxi, in modern times, it was produced in northern Hebei and Shaoyang in Hunan with high quality, and in the modern times, Jiangbei Yuzhu from Haimen in Jiangsu, Anyuzhu from Nanling, Anqing and Tongling in Anhui, Guanyuzhu from Fengrun, Yutian, Zunhua, Huailai in Hebei and Suizhong, Jinxi, Jianchang, Lingyuan, Liaoyang, Haicheng, Gaiping in Liaoning, Xiangyuzhu from Shaoyang in Hunan are the authentic medicinal material. In ancient times, the quality of Yuzhu was good if it was fat and white, while in modern times, it is better with thick roots, bright yellow color, soft texture, no stiff skin and no oiliness. In ancient times, the origin processing of POR was mostly dried in the shade, but in modern times, it is mostly sun-dried or dried after steaming and rubbing. The ancient processing was mostly scraped off the skin and soaked in honey water and then steamed through, while the modern one is mostly washed and cut into thick slices for raw use. Based on the conclusion of the herbal textual research, it is suggested that the rhizome of P. odoratum of Liliaceae be used as the source for the development of famous classical formulas, and the corresponding specifications be selected according to the processing requirements of the prescription. In view of the Yiweitang in Wenbing Tiaobian, which uses the method of frying fragrance to achieve the effect of fragrant refreshing the spleen, it can be processed by referring to the stir-frying method in the current version of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

Taohe Chengqitang is a classical prescription published in The Catalogue of Ancient Classic Recipes (The First Batch). This study systematically summarized traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) ancient books and modern clinical reports on Taohe Chengqitang and investigated its origin, composition, basis, and historical evolution in processing requirements, dosage, preparation and administration, and functions. The findings indicated different opinions on drug basis, preparation of decoction pieces, and drug dosage conversion. Based on sufficient literature review, the actual development needs of classical prescriptions, and the usage habits of modern clinical practice, this study recommended dried mature seeds of Prunus persica or P. davidiana for Persicae Semen, dried twigs of Cinnamomum cassia for Cinnamomi Ramulus, honey-fried Glycyrrhiza uralensis for Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, raw Rheum palmatum, R. tanguticum, or R. offìcinale for Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, and mirabilite for Natrii Sulfas. In terms of drug dosage, the doses directed converted from weights and measures in the Han dynasty were large. According to the common doses in modern clinical practice, conversion was carried out based on 6 g of Cinnamomi Ramulus, 6 g of Natrii Sulfas, 6 g of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and 12 g of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma. The weight of Persicae Semen should be determined according to the actual measurement. In terms of preparation and administration, the drugs in the pot were decocted with 1 400 mL of water to obtain 500 mL of decoction, which was filtered and slightly boiled in the presence of Natrii Sulfas. About 100 mL of warm decoction was taken before meals, three times a day. It was recorded in the ancient books that Taohe Chengqitang was indicated for the syndromes of heat invading the bladder and accumulating inside in the case of released exterior syndrome in Taiyang. After symptom-based flexible application by doctors, it is currently commonly used in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy, constipation, chronic renal failure, and other diseases.
