RESUMO
The classic formula Zhulingtang, derived from the medical work Treatise on Cold Damage (《伤寒论》) compiled by ZHANG Zhongjing, a medical sage in the Eastern Han Dynasty, has been included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Formulas (First Batch) published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2018. Using the method of textual research, this study systematically reviewed ancient and modern literature to conduct a historical and textual analysis of Zhulingtang, including its origin, composition, dosage, processing, decoction methods, efficacy, and applications. A total of 733 pieces of relevant information related to Zhulingtang were collected, involving 206 ancient Chinese medical texts, with 52 of them providing detailed records of the composition, dosage, processing, and efficacy of Zhulingtang. The results of the analysis showed that Zhulingtang was composed of Polyporus, Poria, Alismatis Rhizoma, Asini Corii Colla, and Talcum. Polyporus and Poria should be used without their peels, Asini Corii Colla should be stir-fried with clam powder, and Talcum should be ground into powder or soaked in water. Based on the conversion of ancient and modern dosages, Polyporus, Poria, Alismatis Rhizoma, and Talcum, 15.63 g for each one, were decocted with 800 mL of water to 400 mL. Then the drug residue was removed, and 15.63 g of Asini Corii Colla was added to the drug juice for melting by heating. The decoction should be taken warm, 140 mL each time, three times a day. Zhulingtang has the effects of promoting diuresis, nourishing yin, and clearing heat, and it is mainly used to treat water-heat combination syndrome, characterized by symptoms such as difficult urination, fever, and thirst. Modern research indicates that Zhulingtang is commonly used to treat diseases such as cirrhotic ascites, chronic glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, diarrhea, and urinary tract infections. This study provides key information about the famous formula Zhulingtang, which can serve as a reference for further development and research on its application.
RESUMO
Objective To study the reliability and validity of Chinese version of housebound scale in Chinese elderly people in community.Methods The housebound scale was amended and translated according to the Procedure of the European organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Group.Include two scales,which is whether is housebound and the reason of housebound.The reliability and validity of Chinese version of housebound scale were tested in a sample of 860 Chinese elderly people in two communities among 127 communities in Tangshan from October 2012 to March 2013.Reliability was evaluated using the splithalf reliability and internal consistency.Validity was assessed by content validity,discriminate validity and construct validity.Results The Cronbach’s α coefficient of the first subscales was 0.743,the split-half reliability was 0.856,the convergent validity ratio was 0.960,and the scale had good discriminate validity (P ＜ 0.01).The Cronbach's αcoefficient of the second subscales was 0.853,the split-half reliability was 0.816,the convergent validity ratio was 0.910.Four factors body and mental factors,environmental factors,psychological and social factors,listening factors were extracted by a factor analysis,which explained 48.37％ of the total variance.The loading value of each items in their respective common factor ranged from 0.42 to 0.82.Conclusion The housebound scale has better reliability and validity,which is available for the evaluation of housebound amnong elderly people.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the effects of compound glycyrrhizin injection(GL)on hormone withdrawal syndrome(HWS)in SARS patients.METHODS:Using contrast design,the HWS of 134 cases of SARS who had received hormone theropy was retrospectively analysed.RESULTS:Administration of GL could descend the incidence rate of symptoms of HWS,of which the incidence rates of short breath and chest distress,the main symptoms of SARS patients,dropped from 24.5%and 22.6%to 3.6%(P≤0.01)and 7.1%(P≤0.05)and the incidence of asthenia,musculoarthragia and headache decreased from 13.2%,15.1%and 10.4%to 7.2%,14.3%and 0%respectively.The number of patients with elevated ALT reduced(P≤0.01).CONCLUSION:GL can decrease the incidence of HWS.
