摘要:The roots of TCM extend back to antiquity — agricultural civilization,until now TCM has been working on clinical practice to ensure national health. TCM,an important branch of Sinology,is a capsule of spirit of Sinology,conforming to Chinese thought. Therefore,carrying forward the original thinking is the premise of development of TCM. This paper which traced and summarized "image thinking"based on the theory of Sinology,tried to explore again the thinking way of"judging the inside by observation of the outside"enlightended by image thinking. This paper aimed to interpret the origin of TCM pattern theory of "taking manifestations as factors,factors as symptoms and symptoms as syndrome",not to compare TCM with other medicines. At the same time,the clinical practice of image thinking was explained from the psychosomatic medicine model of "inseparability of the body and spirit,mutual induction of sovereign fire and ministerial fire".

摘要:"Mean "( Chinese: 中) stemmed from the hieroglyphs character of oracle "banner ",and"harmony"( Chinese: 和) was originated from the hieroglyphs character of musical instruments."Mean"and"harmony"had the same extending meaning of"moderate". "Mean and Harmony"view,interpreted and applied fully in Book of changes,the Analects of Confucius and the Doctrine of the Mean,was the core idea of confucianists’ thought to run the emperor and supervise themselves. When the view was expanded into Huangdi’s Canon of Medicine,it underlay the concept of life,disease,treatment and health maintenance,which played an indispensable role in the formation of the theories of Huangdi’s Canon of Medicine.

摘要:Objective To study the effect of medicated serum of Jianpi Yiqi Huayu Jiedu Formula( JYHJF),a TCM compound formulated according to TCM principle of tonifying spleen,replenishing qi,removing blood stasis and detoxification,on proliferation,cycles,apoptosis of HCT116 colorectal cancer cells and on the protein expression of Caspase-3,Bcl-x L and Bax of HCT116 cells. Methods After drug-contained serum( 10%,15%,20%) treated HCT116 cells for 12,24,48 and 72 h,the proliferation was detected by MTT method; after treated for 24 or 48 h,the cell cycle and apoptosis rate were detected by propidium iodide( PI) staining. The protein expression level of Caspase 3,Bcl-x L and Bax in HCT116 cells were detected by Western blot. The control group was treated by blank serum and 10% fetal bovine serum( FBS). Results Compared with the same concentration of blank serum group,the cell proliferation was inhibited significantly in 15% and 20% medicated serum group after 12 h( P < 0. 05),and the inhibitory effect showed time- and concentration- dependence with the highest at 72 h( P < 0.05). In 10% and 15% medicated serum group,cells in G2 phase decreased,but the G1-phase cells and S-phase cells increased; cells in G1 phase and S phase increased and those in G2 phase decreased in10% medicated serum group with the remarkable results at 48 h. It was suggested that the medicated serum could blocked cell cycles,with the positive correlation with time. Compared with the blank serum groups at the same concentration,after treated 24 and 48 h,apoptosis rate of HCT116 cells increased,and had the positive correlation with time and concentration. Compared with the blank serum group,the expression of Bax protein was upregulated and that of Caspase-3 and Bcl-x L were downregulated in 15%medicated serum group( P < 0. 05). Conclusion The effect of Jianpi Yiqi Huayu Jiedu Formula on inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis may be via the way of blocking HCT116 cells cycles and of upregulating Bax protein expression with downregulating Caspase-3 protein and Bcl-x L protein expression.

摘要:Objective To study the effects of Qilongtian on interleukin-1β( IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α( TNF-α) in hypoxic pulmonary hypertension( HPH) rats. Methods All male rats were randomly divided into six groups: normal group,model group,bosentan group,Qilongtian high-,mid- and low- group. Except the rats in normal group,those in other five groups were under atmospheric hypoxia to establish HPH model. From the first day of modeling,all medication groups were i. g corresponding drugs for consecutive three weeks. Pulmonary hemodynamic parameters were detected by right heart catheterization under direct vision,mRNA expression of IL-1β and TNF-α in lung tissue were measured using ELISA,protein expression of IL-1β and TNFα in lung tissue were measured using immunohistochemistrical methods. Results Qilongtian and bosentan significantly reduced the level of mean pulmonary arterial pressure( MPAP),IL-1β and TNF-α expression in HPH rats,and the effect of Qilongtian high dosage was stronger with the dose-dependence. Compared with normal group,expression of IL-1β and TNF-αmRNA and protein increased,and those in model group and bosentan group did significantly( P < 0. 01).Compared with the model group,there was no significant difference in bosentan group( P > 0. 05),the expression level of IL-1β and TNF-α were significantly downregulated in all Qilongtian groups( P < 0. 01 or P < 0. 05). Compared with the bosentan group and all the Qilongtian groups,there were significant differences,and the Qilongtian high-,mid- dose group had more impact( P < 0. 01 or P < 0. 05). Conclusion High,middle and low dosage of Qilongtian reduced pulmonary hypertension,with high dosage prior to bosentan. The mechanism of lower blood pressure may be via downregulating the expression of IL-1β and TNF-α,but it would be influenced by other vascular tension factors and angiogenic factors.

摘要:Objective To evaluate chitosan,hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose K100M( HPMCK100M) and carbopol as adhesion materials in this design of Compound Danshen formula. By studying the adhesion in vitro and in vivo,an appropriate formula was screened. Methods In vitro,the minimum peel strength method was performed to determine the peel force of Adhesive Pellet from swine intestine,and the tissue residue method was applied to measure the number of remaining pellets in swine intestine. In vivo,the adhesive index was obtained by direct intragastric administration by which the number of remaining pellets in intestine were detected. Results The tissue residue method showed that the remaining pellets of adhesion materials accounting for 40% were more than those of adhension materials accounting for 30% for the same amount of time. The minimum peel strength method proved that the minimum pell strength was stronger in pellets of 40% adhension materials,conformable to the results of the tissue residue method. In vivo the adhesive index of 40% of adhesion materials was less than that of 30%,but some pellets were left in swine stomach. Conclusion The same proportion of adhesive materials showed the same adhesion. The higher the proportion was,the stronger the adhesion was and the longer retention time in the stomach which could destroy the active ingredients in Compound Danshen Adhesive Pellet.
