    Abstract Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid has effects in clearing away heat and detoxifying,and is used to treat pharynx and throat swelling caused by the syndrome of excessive heat and toxin accumulation. Its efficacy is to relieve swelling and pain( redness,swelling and hot pain). It is included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia of 2015 Edition,and has been listed in provincial health insurance directories of Shaanxi,Jiangsu,Liaoning,Hunan,Tianjin,Xinjiang and Hebei. It has been recommended by health departments of Beijing,Chongqing and other provinces as a preferred drug for the prevention and treatment of H1 N1 and HFMD,and listed in the diagnosis and Treatment Guide of HFMD by the Ministry of Health,the Clinical Application Guide of Chinese Patent Medicine edited by the Lung Department Disease Branch of China Association of Chinese Medicine,and the Clinical Practice Guide of Single Administration/Combined Administration of Antibiotics in Treatment of Common Infectious Diseases by China Association of Chinese Medicine. To further improve the clinician's understanding of drugs and better guide the rational clinical application,we invited front-line clinical experts from respiratory department,infectious department and dermatology of traditional Chinese and Western medicine to develop and compile the expert consensus. The consensus fully considered the clinical evidence and the expert clinical experience to give recommendations for clinical problems with evidence support and consensus suggestions for clinical problems without evidence support by the nominal group method.This consensus is based on clinical research evidence and expert experience in a simple and clear format,which provides a preliminary reference for the clinical use of the drug.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease, characterized by airway inflammation, hyperresponsiveness, and bronchial smooth muscle contraction. Qingfei Xiaoyan Wan (QFXYW), a traditional Chinese formula, has been shown to exert anti-asthma effects and immune response in multiple diseases.
    Aim of this study: In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic mechanism of QFXYW in the suppression of allergic asthma by integrating of transcriptomics and system pharmacology.
    Materials and methods: BALB/c mice were sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA) to establish the allergic asthma model, and its success was confirmed with behavioral observations. Lung histopathological analysis, inflammatory pathology scores, transcription factors were used to evaluate the effects of QFXYW on allergic asthma. The therapeutic mechanism of QFXYW in treating allergic asthma through integrated transcriptomics and system pharmacology was then determined: hub genes were screened out by topological analysis and functional enrichment analysis were performed to identify key signaling pathway. Subsequently, quantitative RP-PCR and protein array were performed to detect the mRNA of hub genes and to predict the key pathway in OVA-induced allergic asthma, respectively.
    Results: Our results demonstrated that QFXYW could significantly attenuate inflammatory cell infiltration, mucus secretion, and epithelial damage. The transcriptomics analysis found the six hub genes with the highest values- CXCL10, CXCL2, CXCL1, IL-6, CCL-5, and CCL-4 were screened out. Functional enrichment analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly enriched in the inflammatory response and cytokine signaling pathway. Moreover, the quantitative RT-PCR verification experiment found the CXCL2 and CXCL1 were significantly suppressed after treatment with QFXYW. The results of protein array showed that QFXYW inhibited the multi-cytokines of OVA-induced allergic asthma via cytokine signaling pathway.
    Conclusions: QFXYW may have mediated OVA-induced allergic asthma mainly through the hub genes CXCL2, CXCL1, and the cytokine signaling pathway. This finding will offer a novel strategy to explore effective and safe mechanism of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula to treat allergic asthma.

    Abstract Acute lung injury (ALI) is a complex, severe inflammation disease with high mortality, and there is no specific and effective treatment for ALI. Qingfei Xiaoyan Wan (QFXYW) has been widely used to treat lung-related diseases for centuries. This study evaluates the potential effects and elucidates the therapeutic mechanism of QFXYW against LPS induced ALI in mice.

The transcriptomics-based system pharmacological analyses were applied to screen the hub genes, RT-PCR, ELISA, and protein array assay was applied to verify the predicted hub genes and key pathways. QFXYW significantly decreased the number of leukocytes from (6.34 ± 0.51) × 10⁵/mL to (4.01 ± 0.11) × 10⁵/mL, accompanied by the neutrophil from (1.41 ± 0.19) × 10⁵/mL to (0.77 ± 0.10) × 10⁵/mL in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Based on Degree of node connection (Degree) and BottleNeck (BN), important parameters of network topology, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network screened hub genes, including IL-6, TNF-α, CCL2, TLR2, CXCL1, and MMP-9. The results of RT-PCR, ELISA, and protein chip assay revealed that QFXYW could effectively inhibit ALI via multiple key targets and the cytokine-cytokine signalling pathway. This study showed that QFXYW decreased the number of leukocytes and neutrophils by attenuating inflammatory response, which provides an important basis for the use of QFXYW in the treatment of ALI.

    Abstract Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid has been widely used in the clinical treatment of inflammatory diseases such as upper respiratory tract infections. Taraxaci Herba, as the monarch medicine in Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid, due to its multi-source, multi-origin characteristics, and the difference in the content of active ingredients in different medicinal parts, has become a potential factor for the unstable quality among different batches of Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid. In this paper, Thermo Scientific Vanquish ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography(UPLC) system was used, and the Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System(2012 Edition) issued by National Pharmacopoeia Commission was used for processing and analysis. The main common peaks were identified and contents were determined by comparison with reference substances. Fingerprints of Taraxaci Herba medicinal materials from different origins were established. 13 common peaks were identified, and 29 batches of samples from five origins had similarities above 0.90. At the same time, an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography method was developed for the determination of monocaffeoyl tartaric acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, chicoic acid, and luteolin in Taraxaci Herba. The quantitative analysis conditions were verified by methodology, and the average sample recovery was 97.30%-101.8%. The results showed that the content of the same ingredient in Taraxaci Herba from different origins and different medicinal parts was obviously different, and the fluctua-tion range was also different for different ingredients. The establishment of UPLC fingerprints for Taraxaci Herba from different regions combined with multi-component content determination methods provides a reference for improving the quality control of Taraxaci Herba medicinal materials, and also provides a source guarantee for the quality improvement of Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid.

    Abstract Background: Qingfei Xiaoyan Wan (QFXY), a traditional Chinese formula, is widely used for relieving cough, asthma, upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, pneumonia, and etc. in clinic. Comparing with other anti-asthma drugs, it is characterised with moderate and persistent efficacy as well as few side effects, however, the underlying action mechanism still remains elusive. This study aimed to identify QFXY multi-target network regulation as an asthma controller.
    Methods: This study established asthma model induced by histamine phosphate and acetylcholine chloride (His&Ach) in guinea pigs, which then were administered orally with QFXY. Hematoxylin-Eosin staining sections were applied for evaluating QFXY effect. In both Model and QFXY groups, customized microarrays and 2D electrophoresis were adopted to detect differentially expressed genes (diff genes) and proteins (diff proteins) respectively, and some diff proteins were identified with MALDI-TOF/MS. The checked diff genes and proteins underwent Cluster, GO and KEGG analysis. Based on GAD and HPRD databases, QFXY-asthma target regulation network was constructed.
    Results: His&Ach-induced asthma model of guinea pigs was established. HE sections presented anti-inflammation and anti-remodelling effects of QFXY. Comparing with the Model group, 55 diff genes and 6 diff proteins were identified in QFXY group. Validation by qPCR and Western blot showed the microarray and 2D data reliable. Furthermore, QFXY-asthma target regulation network was achieved.
    Conclusions: A primarily combined genomic and proteomic screening of QFXY targets displayed a series of candidate genes and proteins, which indicated that the effect of QFXY relied on the combined mechanism, anti-inflammation and anti-remodelling, as well as influencing signal transduction in vivo.

    Abstract Measurements of the hydrogen and oxygen isotopic composition of precipitation and drip stream water at drip site XY5 in Xiaoyan Cave in Guilin City were conducted to investigate the infiltration and vadose flow processes, and to characterize precipitation–discharge relationship in the overlying karst hillslope area. A marked seasonal variability of oxygen and hydrogen isotopes was observed in precipitation ranging from −18.7‰ to −0.6‰ for δ18O and −139‰ to +5‰ for δD, respectively during the study period from November 2013 to October 2014. However, the narrow range observed for cave drip stream water (δD of −43‰ to −22‰, δ18O of −7.3‰ to −4.3‰) was attributed to homogenization via mixing of meteoric waters in the unsaturated zone above the cave. Although drip stream waters plot close to or slightly above the local meteoric water line, the weighted average δ18O value of precipitation is depleted than in dripwater, which is attributed to evaporation predominantly in the rainy season when cave air circulation is most active. The relationship between surface infiltration or leakage and cave discharge is connected by the distinct models of flow through the epikarst zone. Vadose flow showed high peaking hydraulic responses but buffered rain isotope responses with an attenuate magnitude of 5.0–9.4‰ for δ18O. The sudden hydrochemical proxy variability was related closely to increase of discharge and the flushing out of old water with higher dissolved calcite. A threshold of flow generation expressed by precipitation amount must be exceeded to create a peak in discharge, as a function of excessing the field capacity of soil and residual capacity of epikarst zone. The sources of vadose seepage are soil and epikarst reservoir water with the attenuation of the isotopic fluctuations (−4.28‰ to −5.92‰ for δ18O) and slight hydrological response, indicating mixed signals of infiltration water in epikarst storage reservoir. The total discharge volume of percolating water is 2084L derived from piston flow due to the increased hydraulic head in the dry season, which provides a quantitative evidence of the potential adaptive capacity of the system to deal with the extreme droughts.
