摘要:This paper discusses Xie Jingri’s experience in the treatment of diabetic gastroparesis. Professor Xie puts forward two points of his own opinion on treating diabetic gastroparesis: pathogenesis view of liver -spleen depression and etiology view of essence-turbid blending of phlegm-lipit-blood stasis. Professor Xie promotes the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat the disease. First, he identifies the direction of the treatment by differentiating the cause of the disease, and then formulates therapeutic rules by differentiating syndrome. Professor Xie’s experience of treating diabetic gastroparesis can be sumed up by the following three points:“the combination of regulating and strengthening”,“the thought of dredging intestines and descending adverse flow of qi” and “the combination of strengthening and eliminating”. And one proven case is presented.

摘要:This paper introduces Professor Deng Yueyi’s experience in the treatment of kidney disease from the liver. It is believed that kidney disease is related not only with the lungs, spleen and kidneys, but also with the liver, for the failure of liver to convey and disperse is an important factor in the pathogenesis of kidney disease. Clinically, the kidney disease can be treated from the liver, with clearing liver, calming liver and soothing liver as the basic methods. For liver dampness, the method of clearing liver is used; for yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, the methods of calming liver and softening liver are applied; for liver depression and qi stagnation, the methods of soothing liver and regulating qi are used. The method of soothing liver should be used throughout the treatment. And three proven cases are presented.

摘要:Objective:To systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of rotary drawing manipulation in the treatment of frozen shoulder. MethodsLiteratures about clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on rotary drawing manipulation for frozen shoulder were electronically searched from Pubmed, Cochrane library, Embase, CBM, CNKI, VIP, WANGFANG and other databases at home and abroad from 2007 to 2017, and final literatures were manually selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria to extract valid data. Quality evaluation was performed on the included studies by the Cochrane systematic evaluation method, and meta-analysis was conducted on data using the RevMan 5.3 software. Results:①Ten RCT literatures involving 1084 patients with frozen shoulder were included. ②Most of the 10 studies included did not describe or were not clear about the criteria of assignment masking, blinding, being lost to follow-up or withdrawal, and the overall quality of literatures was low. ③Meta-analysis showed that the treatment group (rotary drawing manipulation therapy) was superior to the control group (other non-drug therapy) in increasing the total effective rate [RR=1.19,5% CI (1.10,1.29), P<0.000 1], the curative rate [RR=1.42,5% CI (1.05,1.92), P=0.02] and improving the VAS score [manipulation vs acupuncture and moxibustion:WMD=-0.73,5% CI (-1.08, -0.39), P<0.000 1; manipulation vs block:WMD=-1.50,5% CI (-1.88, -1.12); Z=7.79, P<0.000 01]. Conclusion:Rotary drawing manipulation therapy improves the symptoms of frozen shoulder, with efficacy superior to the other non-drug therapies. However, more multi-center randomized controlled trials with a larger sample size are needed to further confirm the conclusion due to the poor quality of methodology for including the literatures and the differences among the studies included.  
摘要:This paper aims at comparing the different classification systems of liver diseases between current national standards and the ICD-11 TM chapter. By analyzing the location and physiological characteristics of the liver system, the basic classification attributes involved in liver diseases are classified according to the degree of association. Cluster analysis is carried out by SPSS 20.0 to explore the rules and approaches of constructing the disease classification system in traditional Chinese medicine. It is believed that in establishment of TCM disease classification system, multi-attribute and multi-dimension integration may be attempted by combining theories with quantitative indicators.

摘要:Through literature review, this paper summarizes the understanding of hemorrhoids of the three major academic schools in the Ming and Qing dynasties (Zhengzong sect, Xinde sect and Quansheng sect). The etiology of hemorrhoids mainly includes four aspects: improper diet, abnormal change of emotions, sedentary weight bearing and excess of sexual intercourse. Chen Shigong (Zhengzong sect) attached great importance to the use of external treatment, advocating early diagnosis and treatment. Gao Bingjun (Xinde sect) paid great attention to internal therapy and did well in judging the prognosis by combining pulse diagnosis while protecting the healthy qi. Wang Weide (Quansheng sect) advocated the identification of cause according to syndrome differentiation, emphasizing that the protection of anus should be considered during the use of hemorrhoid-withering drugs.

摘要:Objective:To explore the changes in tongue color, blood flow of tongue microcirculation and ICAM-1 in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus. MethodsExcept for the 10 rats in the normal group, the other Wistar rats were used to establish the model of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Rats for successful modelling were randomly assigned into model group and inhibitor group, 10 rats in each group. In the inhibitor group, PDTC, the inhibitor of the NF-κB signaling pathway was intraperitoneally injected for 8 weeks. The tongue images of diabetic rats were collected and analyzed using “small TDA-1 tongue imager” and “tongue digital analysis system (TDAS)”. The changes of hemodynamics in tongue microcirculation of diabetic rats were observed by laser Doppler flowmetry. The concentrations of ICAM-1 in serum, tongue tissue and liver tissue were observed by ELISA. Results:In comparison of objective indicators of tongue images, it was shown that compared with the normal group, zhiClrI and taiClrI (the quantitative indicators of tongue color) were significantly reduced, while zhiClrS and taiClrS (the quantitative indicators of tongue color) were significantly increased in the model group and the inhibitor group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, zhiClrS (the quantitative indicator of tongue color) was reduced in the inhibitor group (P<0.05). In comparison of local hemodynamics of the tongue, it was shown that compared with the normal group, mean perfusion area of blood flow in local tongue microcirculation decreased significantly in the normal group and the inhibitor group (P<0.05). In comparison of adhesion factor, it was shown that compared with the normal group, the concentration of serum adhesion factor ICAM-1 increased (P<0.05) and the concentration of ICAM-1 in tongue tissue and liver tissue was significantly increased (P<0.01) in the model group. Compared with the model group, the concentration of ICAM-1 in tongue tissue and liver tissue was significantly reduced in the inhibitor group (P<0.01). Conclusion:The changes of tongue color in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus may be related to disorder of local microcirculation of the tongue and increase of the adhesion factor ICAM-1.

摘要:Objective:To investigate the effect of Liuwei Dihuang Pill on glucose metabolism in insulin-resistant mice and its relationship with osteocalcin. MethodsMice with insulin resistance induced by high-fat diet were divided into low-, middle- and high-dose groups of Liuwei Dihuang Pill, Western medicine group (pioglitazone), model group and normal group. After 8 weeks of intervention, fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (Fins) and osteocalcin were detected. Results:Compared with the model group, FBG was improved significantly in insulin-resistant mice in the low-dose group (P<0.01); Fins was significantly lower in the low- and high-dose groups of Liuwei Dihuang Pill (P<0.01, P<0.05); uncarboxylated osteocalcin was increased significantly in insulin-resistant mice in the groups of Liuwei Dihuang Pill (P<0.01, P<0.05) and the ratio of uncarboxylated to carboxylated osteocalcin increased significantly in the low-dose group of Liuwei Dihuang Pill. Correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between uncarboxylated osteocalcin and FBG (P<0.05); the ratio of uncarboxylated to carboxylated osteocalcin was negatively correlated with FBG (P<0.01) and Fins (P<0.05). Conclusion:FBG and Fins are significantly improved in insulin-resistant mice in the low-dose group of Liuwei Dihuang Pill. Compared with uncarboxylated osteocalcin, the ratio of uncarboxylated to carboxylated osteocalcin better explains the improvement of glucose metabolism by Liuwei Dihuang Pill.
