This study provides a systematic review of existing evidence concerning the efficacy of Jiangzhi Tongluo Soft Capsules(JTSC) in treating hyperlipidemia(syndrome of blood stasis and Qi stagnation), following the Guidelines for clinical evidence and value assessment of drugs. The qualitative and quantitative methods were integrated, including questionnaire surveys, evidence-based medicine, and pharmacoeconomic evaluation. Multi-criteria decision analysis(MCDA) model was used for comprehensive assessment of the clinical evidence and value of JTSC for hyperlipidemia in "6+1" dimensions: safety, effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, innovation, suitability, accessibility, and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) characteristics.

There are many kinds and dosage forms of Chinese patent medicines for external use on the market, which are widely used in clinical departments. The common adverse reactions of Chinese patent medicines for external use are skin reactions, and those for the rare severe diseases include palpitation, chest tightness, dyspnea, and anaphylactic shock. At present, World Health Organization(WHO), International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use(ICH),the United States, the European Union, and Asia-Pacific countries(such as Japan and South Korea) have not issued any pharmacovigilance guideline of Chinese patent medicines for external use.

Cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED) has played a central role in demonstrating the fundamental principles of the quantum world, and in particular those of atom-light interactions. Developing fast, dynamical and non-mechanical control over a CQED system is particularly desirable for controlling atomic dynamics and building future quantum networks at high speed. However conventional mirrors do not allow for such flexible and fast controls over their coupling to intracavity atoms mediated by photons.

We consider two-dimensional bosonic dipoles oriented perpendicularly to the plane. On top of the usual two-body contact and long-range dipolar interactions we add a contact three-body repulsion as expected, in particular, for dipoles in the bilayer geometry with tunneling. The three-body repulsion is crucial for stabilizing the system, and we show that our model allows for stable continuous space supersolid states in the dilute regime and calculate the zero-temperature phase diagram.
