Looking up Prescriptions to Treat Infectious Disease:Anti-epidemic Books of Medical Formularies and Epidemic Prevention and Control in the Qing Dynasty

Copying,compiling,publishing,disseminating,and referencing anti-epidemic books of medical formularies were common activities during the outbreak of epidemics in the Qing dynasty.Its emergence,motivated by epidemic disease again and again,was important component parts of epidemic prevention and control.They played a unique role as media on affairs such as treating patients suffering from infectious diseases,mobilizing peoples to make contributions to anti-epidemic activities,integrating and popularizing knowledge of epidemic prevention.Anti-epidemic books of medical formularies were important to link peoples,things,and substances related with epidemic prevention and control,and were a kind of motivation to actively deal with the infectious disease,control the epidemic,and maintain health.Compared to other common measures,anti-epidemic books of medical formularies participated in many prevention and control practices deeply,which actually built a low cost,spontaneous,dispersed and non-institutional system to respond to epidemic,and the system had characteristics of stronger conductibility,bigger coverage area,and better external benefits.

Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking and Experimental Exploring Molecular Mechanisms of Yinqiao Anti-Epidemic Formula in Regulating Mucosal Immune System of Respiratory Tract

[Objectives]To explore the molecular mechanisms of Yinqiao anti-epidemic formula(YQAEF)in regulating mucosal immune system of respiratory tract.[Methods]The active components of YQAEF were obtained from the TCMSP database,and RMIS targets were obtained from the GeneCards database.A"YQAEF components-RMIS targets-pathways"network was constructed by analyzing the above data to screen core targets for molecular docking verification.A mouse model of acute upper respiratory tract infection(AURI)was developed.Based on the experimental models,the key pathway target genes screened by network pharmacology were verified in vivo.[Results]The main active components of YQAEF involved in the regulation of the RMIS included quercetin,acetic acid,and raffinose.Key targets,such as angiotensin-converting enzyme(ACE),galactosidase alpha(GLA),matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP2),Serpin Family E Member 1(SERPINE1),and myeloperoxidase(MPO)and important viral infection and endocrine resistance signaling pathways were included in the regulation of the RMIS with YQAEF.Molecular docking assays showed that the key targets had good binding activities with the components of YQAEF.Based on the results of network pharmacology,key target proteins in ACE,GLA,MMP2,SERPINE1,and MPO were selected for experimental verification.The results showed that ACE/ACE2 and MPO expressions were increased in the oral and throat mucosa of the AURI mice.Under YQAEF treatment,the expression levels of ACE/ACE2 and MPO were decreased.[Conclusions]This study revealed the mechanism of YQAEF in the regulation of RMIS,which is associated with multiple components,targets,and pathways.Further experiments confirmed that YQAEF interfered with MPO and ACE/ACE2 signaling pathways to regulate the RMIS in the oral and throat mucosa tissue of mice with AURI,and provide a new direction for exploring the potential antiviral mechanism of YQAEF.

The Logic of Self-Justification of China’s Anti-Epidemic Effectiveness

The COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 is a syndrome of economic,social and governance crises.It is not only a test of the medical and health system of a country or a region,but also a test of the emergency management system and the comprehensive governance capacity.Based on the complexity of epidemic prevention and control,no single factor can explain and respond to the"exceptional status"of epidemic prevention and control.Only by applying the"Theory of History Resultant Force",establishing systematic thinking,and comprehensively reviewing and analyzing can we comprehensively and objectively clarify its pros and cons.Having taken advantage of the party’s leadership,the nationwide system,and the Socialism with Chinese characteristics with a broad mass base and strong material support,China has achieved obvious results in a relatively short period of time in the process of epidemic prevention and control.It provides other countries or regions with Chinese experience,and Chinese wisdom for anti-epidemic efforts.

Acquisition and Dissemination of Anti-Epidemic Medical Prescriptions During the Outbreaks in the Qing Dynasty of China

During the epidemics in the Qing dynasty,many medical professionals,nonprofessionals,and social organizations collected and sorted medical prescriptions related to infectious diseases.These people also compiled,published,disseminated,and consulted related medical formularies.The above historical event can be viewed as the construction and dissemination of medical knowledge.They edited and published medical formularies on infectious diseases with lower cost and in flexible ways by taking the initiative and giving full scope to creativity.Diverse anti-epidemic medical prescriptions from these medical formularies can be used for infectious diseases in the event of the outbreaks.However,the therapeutic effects of classical prescriptions and folk recipes cannot be regarded as the same.The wide circulation of anti-epidemic medical prescriptions and medical formularies was essentially a process of epidemic prevention resource allocation.Not only did it enable many nonprofessionals to participate in epidemic prevention and control,but it also enhanced awareness,knowledge,and capacity for epidemic prevention at the individual level.At the same time,due to the uneven quality and individual differences in the physical fitness and condition of the prescriptions and formularies,they had the capacity of causing inconveniences to the readers or patients.

Exploring the Concept of“Build a Community of a Shared Future for Mankind”in International Diplomacy:A Prehistoric Mythological Perspective

According to the historical records of prehistoric civilisation in China and the existing theories of prehistoric history within the academic community,it can be inferred that all human civilisations on Earth have their origins in the period following the Great Flood,during which human civilisation was rebuilt.Furthermore,there are notable parallels between the figure of“Nuwa”in Chinese prehistoric civilisation and that of“Noah”in Western accounts.By treating the prehistoric flood event as a research approach in historical compilation,scholars can extract valuable insights into“building a community of a shared future for mankind”and use it as a symbol of global diplomatic relations.This approach can foster common values of mutual learning and exchange among nations,ultimately creating a more promising future for developing a new form of human civilisation.

理解中国共产党政党外交--基于议程设置的视角

中国共产党政党外交实践的日益蓬勃发展,呼唤创新的理论视角对其进行考察。为理解中国共产党政党外交如何服务中国特色大国外交,借助议程设置理论构建一个“提出政党外交议题—以政党外交渠道传播议题—推动政党外交议程制度化”分析框架。在此框架下,中国共产党政党外交,是服务国家总体外交提出议题、主导创建政党外交机制传播议题、参与国际议程设置竞争的重要渠道和手段。中国共产党政党外交,既是一个系统性、整体性的外交过程,也是一个可划分为数个有先后顺序、有彼此关联步骤的过程,更是一个可过程化、多维度考察的对象。

美国涉疆舆论战:政治媒介化与舆论外交

2018年以来,美国针对中国新疆发起一波波舆论战,罗织的罪名令人匪夷所思。文本以政治媒介化理论观照美国涉疆舆论战。政治媒介化指在美西方市场逻辑作用下,政治逐渐依赖、内化媒介逻辑,政治过程受媒介逻辑长期形塑的现象。美国涉疆舆论战通过政治媒介化策略,将其遏制中国的目的隐蔽地转换为一个个“悲情故事”,妄图实现其舆论外交目的。文本深入剖析了美国涉疆舆论战中的政治媒介化过程与策略,揭露了美国涉疆舆论战的真相与本质。

“三大倡议”与新时期中国的中亚外交

科技外交理论的概念演化、范畴界定及欧美实践的启示

在当前的新形势下,科技外交在应对全球性挑战及地缘政治和国际关系中的作用愈加重要。科技外交运用科技和创新国际合作作为软实力工具,建立和改善与其他国家及地区的关系,当国家间的其他直接关系遭遇困境和挫折时,科技外交仍可充当国家间保持彼此联系的桥梁作用。科技外交包括在国际关系决策中需要明确考虑科学知识和科学建议,为便利国际科技合作和人员交流、促进国内创新而采取的外交政策活动,以及促进与其他国家关系的合作性科技活动等三重功能,国家利益是科技外交的主要驱动力。欧盟及其成员国和美国都重视科技在决策系统和外交政策中的作用,从早期增设使馆科技专员到任命美国国务卿和欧盟对外行动署的科技顾问再到向海外派驻科技大使,资助科技外交研究和培训等,不少做法值得借鉴。我国应在完善国家科技决策咨询机制、建立既精通科技又具有外交知识和技能的人才储备和人才培养及培训机制、鼓励参加国际性科技外交研究和实践交流合作网络等方面加强科技外交工作,制定科技外交战略。

冷战后日本与东南亚地区秩序的构建:观念与政策

冷战后日本与东南亚地区秩序的构建问题应引起学界足够的重视。地区秩序与国际秩序有相通之处,但也有其独特性。地区范围、地区制度框架及地区统合原则是地区秩序的构成要素。在东南亚秩序构建进程中,日本形成相互并存的、多层次地区概念。从亚太到扩大的东亚、“自由与繁荣之弧”和“两洋交会”再到“印太构想”,日本的地区秩序观经历经济导向、价值观导向及印太框架3个时期的演变。日本从强调包容性转变为强调同质性,价值观外交愈发突出。日本通过双边与小多边主义强化安全合作,安全议题的分量不断上升。以新版“安保三文件”为指导,日本在2023年推进名为“政府安全保障能力强化支援”(OSA)的安全合作新框架,使援助外交从单一的经济发展援助走向“经济+安全”双轨并行的新态势。日本从均势与陆海对立的思维定势出发,地区概念的适用范围不断扩大,试图借此阻滞与稀释中国的影响力。

中缅建交问题再探讨

中缅建交是当代中缅关系的起点。早在1948年12月,缅甸便初步决定承认中国共产党政权。在接下来的一年中,吴努政府更多考虑的是何时承认的问题。最终,在确定英国和印度即将承认中华人民共和国后,缅甸于1949年12月16日承认中华人民共和国,成为第一个承认新中国的非社会主义国家。但由于中缅双方彼此猜忌防范,直到1950年6月8日两国才正式建交。历史记忆、地缘政治和意识形态等因素共同塑造了建交前后的中缅关系,压制了两国在经贸关系和政治往来等国家利益层面的互动。与此同时,这一时期的中缅关系并非纯粹意义上的双边关系,英国、印度和苏联等第三方经常在其中发挥重要作用。1953年,中国在外交政策中强调和平共处,缅甸在处理对外关系时也开始奉行中立主义,国家利益在中缅关系中的优先性迅速提高,双方关系明显转暖。

苏纳克政府对华认知变化与中英关系的未来

自约翰逊政府上台以来,中英关系持续遇冷。2022年10月,里希·苏纳克接替特拉斯成为新一任英国首相。回溯苏纳克上台以来的对华认知表态发现,英国近期对华认知出现某些调整,开始展现重新与华接触的积极意愿。本文认为,俄乌冲突背景下,英国对华认知变化是由一系列内外因素共同作用的结果。内部因素包括英国社会内部多种难题亟待解决、国内经济下行压力持续增加以及保守党极端势力的政治掣肘;外部因素包括英国难以忽视其他西方国家的访华热潮、难以回避中美战略竞争加剧的现实冲击以及英欧关系再平衡的需求。苏纳克政府缓和对华认知,将在一定程度上影响中英关系的未来。一方面,调整对华认知可能有助于重启中英双边关系、拓展双边合作空间以及助力“全球英国”的外交战略。另一方面,英国“两面性”对华政策的持续也可能进一步增加中英双边关系的复杂性,且英国对华政策的强意识形态色彩近期可能难有太多改变。总之,英国近期对华认知确实出现某些较以往积极的调适。准确把握此窗口期,探寻重启中英交流与合作的多种渠道,挖掘双边合作潜力,对双边关系的改善与发展有重要意义。
