ABSTRACT
Liver-qi stagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome can be seen in a variety of clinical diseases,such as chronic hepatitis,liver cirrhosis,chronic gastritis,peptic ulcer,irritable bowel syndrome (IBS),p.sychosis and so on.Disease characteristics determine the symptom characteristic and criterion of syndrome differentiation and treatment.Therefore,different diseases with liver-qistagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome have different clinical manifestation and diagnostic criteria.This paper summarized the modern biological basis of liver-qistagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome from the nervous system,endocrine system,digestive system,circulatory system,immune system and metabolic system,in order to provide reference for researches on modern biology basis of liver-qistagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the values of echocardiogram for evaluating the changes of left ventricular structure and cardiovascular function of the acute mountain sickness (AMS) patient before and after returning the plain.Methods A total of 33 light AMS patients returning to the plain in time underwent echocardiogram examinations on some cardiovascular indexes before and after returning the plain,including stroke volume (SV),cardiac output (CO),left atrial volume index (LAVI),left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV),early diastolic mitral flow velocity (E),late diastolic mitral flow velocity (A) and so on.Results The values of heart rate (HR),systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),CO,A and LAVI after going to the plateau were all significantly higher than those before going to the plateau (P＜0.05),while the values of SV,E,E/A and LVEDV were obviously lower (P＜0.05).The values of HR,SBP,DBP,CO,A,E and E/A recovered respectively 1 month after going to the plateau when compared with those before going to the plateau (P＜0.05),while did not restore to the ones before going to the plateau (P＜0.05),and the values of LVEDV,LAVI and SV reached the level before going to the plateau (P＜0.05).The values of LVEDV,SV,SBP,LAVI and E 1 week after returning to the plain came to the level before going to the plateau (P＜0.05),and the values of CO,HR,DBP and A were significantly higher (P＜0.05) while the value of E/A was statistically lower (P＜0.05).Conclusion Echocardiogram can be used to evaluate the left ventricular structure and cardiovascular function of the AMS patient,especially for those light AMS patients in acclimatization period or before and after returning to the plain.
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to discuss the difference of Cun-Kou six-pulse (CKSP) diagram of different diseases. The ZBOX-I Type Pulse Digital Analyzer was used to collect CKSP diagram of 30 bronchial asthma cases and 33 chronic gastritis cases. Time-domain parameter was extracted for analysis. Comparison was made by statistical methods. The results showed that there was statistical difference on time-domain parameter of pulse diagram for different diseases (P<0.05). There was statistical difference on time-domain parameter of pulse diagram between the left side and right side (P<0.05). There were statistical differences on t4 of left Cun, t4 and h5 of right Cun, t1\t4 of left Chi between bronchial asthma and chronic gastritis cases (P<0.05). It was concluded that the single-cycle pulse diagram of chronic gastritis was wider but no higher than that of bronchial asthma. The systole phase of single-cycle pulse diagram of bronchial asthma occupied greater proportion than that of chronic gastritis. There was difference on Cun of time-domain parameter in pulse diagram between bronchial asthma and chronic gastritis. It was consistent with the theory of Cun-Kou sub-designated zang-fu organs, which was “left Cun designates heart, right Cun designates lung.” However, there was no further explanation on functional differences between the spleen and stomach. The mechanism of pulse difference on the left and right side still required further illustration.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of diagnosis and treatment of fallopian tube patency by using hysterosalpingocontrast sonography (HyCoSy) with SonoVue and transvaginal ultrasound for infertile women. Methods Two hundred and twenty-two infertile women were examined by HyCoSy-SonoVue to observe flowing condition in womb and fallopian tube,the results were compared with hydrotubation, X-ray hysterosalingography(HSG) and laparoscopy(hysteroscopy). Results In the 222 cases,73 cases were both side of fallopian tube patency, 72 cases were single fallopian tube patency, 13 cases were single partial obstruction,60 cases were both side of fallopian tube pinning,4 cases were both partial obstruction. There was a significant difference on pregnancy rates between the HyCoSy-SonoVue and hydrotubation (P 0.05). There was no difference on diagnostic rates of fallopian tube pateney between the HyCoSy-SonoVue and laparoscopy (hysteroscopy)(P>0. 05) ,the diagnostic rate of H yCoSy-SonoVue was higher than that of HSG. Conclusions The HyCoSy-SonoVue method is safety and it would be an effective diagnosis in the evaluation of fallopian tube pathology for infertile women.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Guben Huatan Tongmai Recipe (GBHTTMR), a compound Chinese herbal recipe, on expressions of macrophages and cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) of aortic endothelia in rats with syndrome of phlegm blocking blood vessel, and to explore the pathogenesis of the phlegm-pathogen. METHODS: Fifty normal male Wistar rats, 7-week in age, were randomly divided into five groups: normal control group, untreated group, high-dose GBHTTMR-treated group, low-dose GBHTTMR-treated group and simvastatin-treated group, with 10 rats in each group. Syndrome of phlegm blocking blood vessel was induced in rats of the latter 4 groups by feeding the rats with high lipid diet. Levels of blood lipid were compared among the 5 groups. The expressions of macrophages and CAMs in aortic endothelia were tested by immunohistochemical staining method. RESULTS: The level of blood lipid, and the expressions of macrophages and CAMs showed statistical differences between the normal control group and the untreated group (P<0.01), and between the untreated group and the low-, high-dose GBHTTMR-treated and simvastatin-treated groups as well (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: GBHTTMR can decrease the level of serum cholesterol and triglycerides, and increase the level of high density lipoprotein. It also can inhibit the expressions of macrophages, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, P-selectin, and E-selectin.
