摘要:In order to summarize and discuss the current situation of speculative organon applied in theoretical research of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),the article analyses the characteristics of speculative organon,application status,research results,misunderstanding and a series of problems caused by these misunderstanding in TCM theoretical research. Although speculative organon has played a huge role in promoting the development of TCM theoretical research,there are still four problems:abuse of speculation; absence of justice and consensus inducing concept confusion; inaccurate grasp in applied range of speculative organon; and confusion with qualitative research method. It is conductive to choose correct research methods in scientific work,and it also has a positive significance for collating TCM textbooks,studying on TCM theory,TCM education and TCM theory development.

摘要:Male reproductive system,especially the testicles,is highly sensitive to radiation rays. Small dose of ionizing radiation will lead to testicular injury,which results in spermatogenesis obstacle,and then causes temporary or permanent infertility. The theory of "preventive treatment of disease " in Chinese medicine,namely the ideas of prevention,has important guiding significance to prevent the reproductive system from being injured by radiation and to promote restoration. Before being radiated,the basic principle is to reinforce healthy qi and improve disease-resistant and recovery capability. The Chinese therapiesl with effects of tonifying Qi and blood,nourishing Yin and moistening dryness,replenishing kidney and nourishing essence are mainly used,and simultaneously assisting by medicinal with effects of purging heat and relieving toxin,clearing heat and engendering fluid,and cooling blood and stopping bleeding. After being injured by radiation,in order to prevent from deterioration and improve recovery,Chinese therapies which can invigorate kidney and liver,nourish essence and blood,soothe liver and strengthen spleen,and restore coordination between heart and kidney should be used with a view to the overall,at the same time,medicinal with effects of clearing heat and relieving toxin,engendering fluid,and activating blood and resolving stasis can be used complementally. Health care after being cured is very important as well,and a healthy life style should be maintained.

摘要:There were in-depth studies and discussions on phlegm-fluid retention by many physicians at ancient times,among them Zhu Danxi’s doctrine of phlegm-fluid retention was the most famous with a considerable influence on later generations. Zhang Jingyue realized the quintessence of Zhu’s doctrine and dared to innovate. He put forward his own unique understandings on phlegm-fluid retention combined with his clinical experience and Zhu ’s doctrine, and had made a tremendous contribution to the development of diagnosis and treatment of phlegm-fluid retention. This paper discusses the exposition about phlegm-fluid retention in Danxi Xinfa(Danxi ’s Experiential Therapy) and Jingyue Quanshu(Complete Works of Jingyue),and sorts out the similarities and differences between them after comparing and integrating their academic thought and features. The authors hope to get the true essence of doctrine of phlegm-fluid retention and provide guide for treatment of phlegm-fluid retention diseases in clinical practice.
摘要:About the pathogenesis of dawn diarrhea,medical experts of all dynasties consider that dawn diarrhea is induced by spleen-kidney yang deficiency,and fire failing to warm earth,so dawn diarrhea is also called "renal diarrhea",which can be treated with Sishen Wan(Four Miracle Pills) as a basic formula in clinical practice. However,after more thought,the authors fully understand the influence of liver on the occurrence of dawn diarrhea,which is the key of treatment from the chronomedicine perspective,though kidney has close relationship with the disease. The five watches of the night are in Yin Mao,which is subsumed to wood in the five elements,belongs to qi of shaoyang. At the time of five watches,qi of shaoyang sends up,and because of insufficiency of spleen,wood severely restricts earth,then dawn diarrhea occurs.

摘要:Objective To study the influence of Yiqi Huoxue Tongluo Fang(Qi-Replenishing BloodActivating Collateral-freeing Decoction) on signal pathway of c-jun N-terminal kinase(JNK) and inflammatory factors in mice with diabetic peripheral neuropathy(db/db mice), and discuss its mechanism in protecting peripheral nerve. Methods The db/db mice(n = 40) were randomly divided into 5 groups: model group,lipoic acid group,high-dose Yiqi Huoxue Tongluo Fang group(6. 4 g/kg,high-dose group),mid-dose Yiqi Huoxue Tongluo Fang group(3. 2 g/kg,mid-dose group) and low-dose Yiqi Huoxue Tongluo Fang group(1. 6 g/kg,low-dose group),and other db/m mice(n = 8) were chosen into normal group. All groups were intragastrically given corresponding drugs once a day for 8 weeks. After the last administration of drugs, the plantar thermal response time and motor nerve conduction velocity(MNCV) were detected. The levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The protein expressions of JNK and phosphorylase JNK(p-JNK) in dorsal root ganglion(DRG) were detected by using Western blot method. Results Compared with normal group,MNCV was slower,plantar thermal response time was longer,levels of IL-1β and TNF-α increased,and protein expressions of JNK and pJNK are stronger in model group(P < 0. 01 or P < 0. 05). Compared with model group,Yiqi Huoxue Tongluo Fang promoted MNCV,shortened plantar thermal response time,decreased levels of IL-1β and TNF-α and down-regulated protein expressions of JNK and p-JNK to some extent(P < 0. 01 or P <0. 05). Conclusion Yiqi Huoxue Tongluo Fang can inhibit the abnormal activation of JNK signal pathway and relieve inflammatory reaction to protect peripheral nerve in db/db mice.

摘要:Objective To investigate the typing characteristics of TCM excess pattern of primary bronchogenic lung cancer. Methods The diagnostic criteria for primary bronchogenic lung cancer were formulated after referring past relevant criteria and literature and combining past research achievements by Professor Zhang Peitong ’s research team. The unified pattern differentiation and classification were carried out in the patients with primary bronchogenic lung cancer(n = 135). Results All 135 patients had manifestations of excess pattern,and the frequency of manifestations of excess pattern were,in an descending order,qi stagnation pattern,qi counterflow pattern,phlegm congealing pattern,and blood stasis pattern. There were 2(1. 48%) patients with single pattern and 133(98. 52%) with combination of 2 or more patterns. The frequency of 4-pattern combination,3-pattern combination and 5-pattern combination were higher. The frequency of in-pairs excess patterns,were qi stagnation pattern + qi counterflow pattern,qi counterflow pattern + phlegm congealing pattern,qi stagnation pattern + phlegm congealing pattern,qi stagnation pattern + blood stasis pattern,qi counterflow pattern + blood stasis pattern,and blood stasis pattern + phlegm congealing pattern. Conclusion Qi stagnation pattern and qi counterflow pattern dominate the occurrence and development of primary bronchogenic lung cancer. The combinations of multi-pattern are common and 4-pattern combination is the most common in the patients.The in-pairs excess patterns are qi stagnation pattern,qi counterflow pattern,phlegm congealing pattern and blood stasis pattern.
摘要:Sjogren’s syndrome(SS),named as dry impediment in Chinese medicine,has complex clinical symptoms. It is mostly caused by constitutional insufficiency,emotional disorder and improper diet combining external pathogen attack,resulting in dysfunction and interaction of five zang-organs,overconsumption and distribution dysfunction of yin,blood and fluid-humor,and failing to arrive at all limbs,bones and orifices. The paper elucidates the pathogenesis and diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of dry impediment,and indicates the disease is related to all five zang-organs(heart,liver,spleen,lung,kidney) while most closely related to kidney,spleen and liver. The pathogenesis of the disease is based on deficiency of kidney yin and essence,and mainly dominated by dysfunction of spleen in transportation and block of liver’s free activity. The treatment of the disease,based on pattern differentiation,commonly use therapies of nourishing yin and tonifying kidney,fortifying spleen and tonifying qi, soothing liver and activating blood, clearing lung-heat and moistening dryness, and nourishing heart and tranquilizing mind,meanwhile matched with nourishing blood and engendering fluid,freeing collateral vessels and relieving pain,and clearing heat and eliminating dampness. Among these therapies,nourishing yin,tonifying qi and activating blood are keys in treatment.
