Exploring the meanings of formula-pattern and formula-pattern element correspondence can help improve flexibility of practitioners and promote standardization of clinical prescription,expand the modern clinical application of classical formulae and improve the therapeutic effects in the treatment of complicated diseases.
摘要:Inspecting and conjecturing the interior and exterior of diseases is a key concept implied in the chapter titled External Conjecture in The Spiritual Pivot( Líng Shū,灵枢). It can be interpreted with a new connotation. In the process of understanding diseases,we can conjecture the nature of diseases by inspecting the external manifestations or the other way around,in this dual direction of inspecting and conjecturing of the interior and exterior,we could have a more comprehensive and accurate knowledge of the disorder. This is a scientific idea of the The Inner Classic( Nèi Jīng,内经) which matches both the scientific principle and development of TCM theory. This is supplementary to the traditional one direction of conjecturing the interior nature of disease by observing the external manifestations. Therefore a novel idea of inspecting and conjecturing both the interior and exterior could serve as a fundamental principle for TCM diagnosis.

摘要:Objective To observe the effect of Astragalus mongholicus injection on the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related proteins in KKAymice with renal interstitial fibrosis.Methods Sixteen KKAymice were randomly divided into model group( n = 8) and Astragalus mongholicus injection treatment group( n = 8),and 8 C57 BL /6J mice were used as normal control. The mice in treatment group were intraperitoneally given Astragalus mongholicus injection from the 14 th week.The fasting glucose levels were observed at the 16 th,20th,24 th week. The mice were sacrificed at the24 th week. The renal pathological changes were observed under light microscope. The expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin,E-cad and transforming growth factor β1 in the renal tissues were examined by immunohistochemical staining. Results Fibrosis was found in the KKAymice of model group,while the mice in treatment group showed a slight increase in renal interstitium. Treatment with Astragalus mongholicus injection decreased the protein expression levels of alpha-smooth muscle actin,transforming growth factor β1 in the kidney tissues as compared with those in model group. Conclusion Astragalus mongholicu injection reduces the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin and restrains the protein expression of transforming growth factor β1 in the kidney tissue of KKAymice. These changes may inhibit and reverse the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition,thus delaying the occurrence and development of renal interstitial fibrosis.
摘要:Objective To explore the mechanism of Houshi Hei San( Hou’s Black Powder) against cerebral ischemia damage by observing effects of wind-dispelling drugs( WDD),deficiency-tonifying drugs( DTD) and combined WDD-DTD in Houshi Hei San on the expressions of Brain-derived neurotrophic factor( BDNF),Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase( PI3K),Protein Kinase B( PKB,also called Akt),and cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein( CREB). Methods Rats were subjected to permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion( p MCAO) surgery and randomly divided into the sham-operation group,model group,WDD group,DTD group and combined WDD-DTD group. At 72 hours after cerebral ischemia,protein of ischemic hippocampus was extracted from the fresh brain. The expression of BDNF was detected by using ABC-ELISA; PI3 K,Akt and CREB were analyzed by using western blot. Results WDD had little effect on neurological deficits score and no remarkable effect on the expression levels of BDNF,PI3 K,Akt and CREB; DTD up-regulated the expression of BDNF and Akt markedly( P < 0. 05); combined WDD-DTDsignificantly up-regulated the expression level of BDNF,PI3 K,and Akt as well as CREB in the ischemic hippocampus,as compared to the model group( P < 0. 05). Conclusion WDD could assist DTD in Houshi Hei San against cerebral ischemic damage by regulating the key molecular signal of PI3 K/Akt.
摘要:Objective To study anti-dementia effects of Kaixin San( Joyful Powder) and Radix Polygalae’s based on pharmacokinetic characteristics of sibiricose A5,sibiricose A6,3,6 ’- disinapoyl sucrose,and polygala xanthone III in rats with acquired dysmnesia model from three levels: monomer,medicinal and formula. Method Serum concentrations of sibiricose A5 and sibiricose A6 after oral administration in rat model were measured by using HPLC-PDA Pharmacokinetic data were obtained.Then different forms of sibiricose A5 and A6 were compared with correlation analysis( PK-DI).Result Concentration-time curves showed that the pharmacokinetic profiles were similar in the absorption phase when Radix Polygalae extract and Kaixin San were orally administered. A bimodal patternof sibiricose A5 and A6 in the serum profile was revealed. However,this phenomenon was not observed in the group of monomer. Radix Polygalae extracts and Kaixin San were similar in the measurements of AUC,and levels of monomer were decreased significantly( P < 0. 01). Compared to the oral administration of Radix Polygalae extract,Cmax-1 and Cmax-2 of Kaixin San were increased significantly( P < 0. 05). Conclution The results showed that the absorption of sibiricose A5 and A6 in rats was superior when Kaixin San was administered. This finding supports the rationale for using the Kaixin San combination in clinical use.
摘要:Objective To investigate protein expression characteristics of qi-deficiency constitution and qi deficiency-related nasopharyngeal cancer( NPC) by using protein chip technology. Methods Four cases with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and 4 cases with nasopharyngitis,all of the typical qi-deficiency constitution were examined. Springbio protein chip technology with the capacity of detecting 722 proteins was used to detect protein expressions in qi deficiency constitution,sopharyngeal carcinoma and sopharyngeal carcinoma of qi-deficiency type,so as to explore the characteristics of the protein. Results As compared with the healthy subjects,most protein expressions were down-regulated in qi deficiency patients. There had been 19 down-regulated proteins( p < 0. 05),mainly including the keratin protein and cyclin dependent kinase. As compared with nasopharyngitis,13 proteins were up-regulated while 9 were downregulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma protein expressions. CD115 / c-fms / CSF-1R / M-CSFR and keratin showed lower expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma and qi deficiency type. However,Cdk1 / p34cdc2 and p170 / MDR 1 protein were down-regulated in qi deficiency type,but up-regulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Conclusion There is a specific protein expression characteristic in the deficiency constitution,manifesting as lowered expression of keratin and cyclin dependent kinase. Colony stimulating factor1 receptor and keratin protein low expression are characteristics of qi deficiency related to nasopharyngeal cancer.
摘要:Objective To analyze the pattern characteristics of the type A Influenza in Beijing area.Methods Patients who were diagnosed with Type A Influenza and received treatment in Dongfang hospital,Beijing University of Chinese medicine were included into our research. First,all the included patients answered a TCM questionnaire to gather their basic data and symptoms. Then,patterns of all participants were differentiated according to ying,wei,qi and blood diagnostic principles. Results Of 151 cases with confirmed type A Influenza,149 cases( 98. 7%) were identified as exogenous wind-heat patterns while only 2cases( 1. 3%) were of exogenous wind-cold patterns. Of the wind-heat patterns,37 cases( 24. 5%) were further differentiated as wind-heat with dampness pattern. Wei level pattern was found in 136 cases( 90. 1%).Qi level pattern was present in 91 cases( 60. 3%). Wei-Qi level pattern occurred in 78 cases( 51. 7%).Single Wei level pattern occurred in 59 cases( 39. 1%). Single Qi level pattern occurred in 14 cases( 9.3%). Among the Qi level pattern,52 cases were yangming heat pattern( 34. 4%),40 cases( 26. 5%)were the shaoyang pattern,30 cases( 19. 9%) were the excessive lung-heat pattern,28 cases( 18. 5%) were the dampness-heat obstructing middle energizer pattern,and 10 cases( 6. 6%) were the pattern of heat in the chest and diaphragm. There were significant differences between the constituent ratios of the Qi level patterns( X2 =9.73,P =0.02),and single Wei level pattern,of different durations( X2 =8.78,P =0.03). The longer the duration was,the higher the proportion of the Qi pattern was accounted for,and the lower the proportion of single Wei level pattern,the lower its occurrence was. However,no significant differences were observed among the distribution of patterns between season, age or its past disease history( P > 0. 05).Conclusion Duration of disease is an important factor which could affect the pattern distribution of type A influenza. In Beijing,the patterns of type A influenza are mostly externally contracted wind-heat pathogens,second by wind-heat with dampness. The most common pattern is the Wei-Qi pattern,followed by the single Wei level pattern,while the single Qi level pattern is very rare.
