Clinical thinking of acupuncture for snoring based on "disharmony qi leads to restlessness" / 中国针灸

This study summarizes the clinical thinking of acupuncture for snoring based on "disharmony qi leads to restlessness". According to the pathological characteristics of qi stagnation and blood stasis, phlegm dampness and internal obstruction in snoring patients, combined with the etiology, pathogenesis and location of the disease, the innovative viewpoint of "disharmony qi leads to restlessness" is proposed. It is believed that the key to snoring treatment lies in "regulating qi ". In clinical practice, acupuncture can directly regulate the qi of the disease's location, regulate the qi of the organs and viscera, and regulate the qi of the meridians to achieve overall regulation of the body's internal and external qi, smooth circulation of qi and blood, and ultimately achieve the therapeutic goal of harmonizing qi, stopping snoring, and improving sleep quality.

The effect of "ten needles in the stomach" treatment on sleep perception for the patients with spleen-gastric damp-heat insomnia based on the theory of "stomach upset, sleep restlessness" / 国际中医中药杂志

Objective:To explore the effect of "ten needles in the stomach" on sleep perception of patients with spleen-gastric damp-heat insomnia based on the theory of "stomach discord, then sleep restlessness", to provide references for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The study subjects were 300 patients with insomnia from the sleep department and outpatient department of Shijiazhuang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. According to the random number method, they were divided into the stomach ten needle group, the diazepam group, and the stomach ten needle plus diazepam group, with 100 in each group. Among them, the stomach ten needles group received "stomach ten needles" acupuncture treatment, the diazepam group was given diazepam therapy, and the stomach ten needles plus diazepam group was given diazepam combined with "stomach ten needles" acupuncture treatment. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores, the self-rating disease symptom scale (SCL-90) scores, nighttime polysomnography (PSG) monitoring indicators, and the mean sleep latency (MSL) values were compared before and after treatment in the three groups. The difference in clinical efficacy between the two groups were observed.Results:The total effective rate was 94.0% (94/100) in the combined group, 77.0% (77/100) in the diazepam group, and 85.0% (85/100) in the stomach ten needle group. There were significant differences among the three groups ( χ2=11.56, P<0.01). After treatment, the daytime dysfunction, hypnotic drugs, sleep disturbance, sleep efficiency, sleep time, sleep time, sleep quality score and total score of the combined group were significantly lower than those in the diazepam group and the stomach ten needle group ( F=5.70, 3.65, 5.23, 6.37, 3.66, 6.19, 7.54, 6.40, all Ps<0.01); The scores of SCL-90 and MSL were significantly lower than those in the diazepam group and stomach ten needle group ( F=8.97, 7.53, all Ps<0.01). In the combined group, NWAK [(1.36 ± 0.87) times vs. (2.69 ± 1.15) times, (2.11 ± 1.05) times, F=5.88], SOL [(13.62 ± 5.85) min vs. (25.06 ± 9.42) min, (19.78 ± 7.63) min, F=6.49], N1/TST [(5.69 ± 1.09)% vs. (12.65 ± 2.58)%, (8.49 ± 2.45)%, F=5.13], N2/TST [(51.07 ± 10 2.06)% vs. (58.36 ± 2.18)%, (55.61 ± 2.04)%, F=9.86] were significantly lower than those in the diazepam group and stomach ten needle group ( P<0.01), SE [(90.33 ± 2.89)% vs. (85.39 ± 2.75)%, (87.53 ± 2.69)%, F=8.36], TST [(449.32 ± 23.65) min vs. (421.66 ± 25.33) min, (431.26 ± 25.98) min, F=8.26], REM/TST [(23.87 ± 4.52)% vs. (14.52 ± 3.87)%, (18.36 ± 3.25)%, F=5.34], N3/TST [(18.69 ± 2.02)% vs. (10.31 ± 1.64)%, (14.89 ± 1.74)%, F=7.69] were significantly higher than those in the diazepam group and stomach ten needle group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Based on the "stomach discord, sleep restlessness" theory, the ten needles on the stomach can treat insomnia and improve psychological state and sleep quality, with the functions of clearing the damp and heat of the middle joker, regulating the lifting and lowering of qi in the middle.

New Model of Traditional Chinese Medicine with Effect of Invigorating Kidney and Filling Sea of Marrow in Regulating Delay in Cortical Maturation of ADHD Based on Theory of Steady Yin and Vexed Yang / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder among children. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) does not have a special term of this disease, and classifies ADHD to the category of " forgetfulness" " dysphoria" " injudiciousness" according to its clinical manifestations. TCM theoretic and clinical systems for treating ADHD have been developed, but current pharmacodynamics studies of TCM on ADHD have mostly focused on neurotransmitter metabolic system and its receptor signaling pathway to reflect the advantages of multi-component and multi-target effect of TCM, but failed to demonstrate the scientific connotations of TCM theory, such as " coordination between kidney and brain" and " steady Yin and vexed Yang" , and ignored the delay in cortical maturation as the core neuropathology of ADHD. The symptoms relating to " restlessness of Yang" due to Yin deficiency that cannot inhibit hyperactivity of Yang, kidney-Yin deficiency and liver-Yang excess syndrome is the most common syndrome of ADHD, and TCMs with effect of invigorating kidney and filling sea of marrow are mostly used by TCM practitioners. According to anatomy basis of neuronal development disorder, the new theory of " energy metabolism dysfunction" , the pathogenesis hypothesis of sea of marrow development disorder and its relevant clinical practices and experimental studies, substantial basis studies of the therapy for " invigorating kidney and filling sea of marrow" , as well as pharmacodynamics study of <italic>Rehmannia glutinosa</italic> (Shudihuang) for treating ADHD, we put forward ADHD pathogenesis that " restlessness of Yang due to Yin deficiency" is related to the disorder of executive function due to the delay in cortical maturation, energy metabolism dysfunction and neurodevelopmental disorder, and regarded that TCMs with effect of invigorating kidney and filling sea of marrow are the most commonly used to treat ADHD, and improve delay in cortical maturation corresponding to sea of marrow insufficiency by regulating dysfunction of neurodevelopment and energy metabolism, so as to relieve the core symptoms of ADHD. The new treatment model of TCM with effect of invigorating kidney and filling sea of marrow for treating ADHD will provide a theoretical basis for improving the clinical efficacy of ADHD.

Fundamento nietzscheano y potencial antropológico de la estética de la existencia foucaultiana / Nietzschean foundations and anthropological potential of foucault's aesthetics of existence / Fundamento nietzschiano e potencial antropológico da estética da existência focaultiana

RESUMEN El objetivo del artículo es hacer un aporte al proceso de fundamentación del concepto foucaultiano de estética de la existencia desde una perspectiva estético-antropológica, a partir de dos referentes de la tradición filosófica: l) el pensamiento de Nietzsche, específicamente su crítica de la metafísica y su ontologia estética, y 2) la filosofía greco-romana antigua del arte de vivir de las escuelas helenísticas estoica y epicúrea; en particular, su concepción de la filosofía como forma de vida y las nociones de gozo (estoica) y placer (epicúrea). Como valor agregado se derivan algunos aspectos del potencial antropológico de este concepto foucaultiano. Por último, se señala la importancia que tuvo el cinismo para el último Foucault, la relación entre los cínicos y el concepto de estética de la existencia, y se explica por qué no son incluidos en el ejercicio de fundamentación teórica del concepto.

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper and its underlying research project is to be a contribution to the grounding of the Foucaldian concept of aesthetics of existence from an aesthetic and anthropological standpoint using two referents of the philosophical tradition: l) the thoughts of Nietzsche, particularly his criticism of metaphysics and his aesthetic ontology and 2) the ancient Greek-Roman philosophy on the art of living, namely the Stoic and Epicurean Hellenistic schools, particularly their conception of philosophy as a way of life and the notions of joy (Stoics) and pleasure (Epicureans). As an added value, we derive some aspects of the anthropological potential of this Foucauldian concept. Finally we highlight the importance of cynicism during the final stages of Foucault's works, the relationship between Cynics and the concept of aesthetics of existence. We also explain why these are not included in the concept's theoretical grounds.

RESUMO O objetivo do artigo é contribuir para o processo de fundamentação do conceito foucaultiano de estética da existência a partir de uma perspectiva estético-antropológica, baseada em dois referentes da tradição filosófica: l) o pensamento de Nietzsche, especificamente sua critica da metafísica e sua ontologia estética; e 2) a antiga filosofia greco-romana da arte de viver das escolas helénicas estoicas e epicuristas, em particular, sua concepção de filosofia como um modo de vida e as noções de alegria (estóico) e prazer (epicurista). Como valor agregado, derivam-se alguns aspectos do potencial antropológico desse conceito foucaultiano. Por fim, destaca-se a importância que o cinismo teve para o último Foucault, a relação entre os cínicos e o conceito de estética da existência, e explica-se por que eles não estão incluídos no exercício do fundamento teórico do conceito.

Conclusion The treatment of clearing heart and relieving restlessness acupuncture on generalized anxiety disorder has rapid effect and good compliance.

A Case of Atopic Dermatitis Successfully Treated with Daiseiryuto / 日本東洋医学雑誌

We report a case of atopic dermatitis that was successfully treated with daiseiryuto. The patient was a 31-year-old Japanese female, who had atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma since childhood. Recently, her itching, as well as her bronchial asthma, had simultaneously worsened. We diagnosed the patient with “exterior excess” (hyoujitsu), because she complained of anhidrosis. She also complained of being thirsty, suggestive of “interior heat” (rinetsu). Furthermore, her severe itching reminded us of “restlessness” (hansou). According to these Kampo observations, we prescribed daiseiryuto. After several weeks of taking the medication, the patient's asthma attacks had disappeared completely. The severe itching had also improved within a couple of months, and the skin eruptions disappeared in about 6 months. We think that daiseiryuto is a useful formulation for itching of the skin, and that it could be applied to many skin disorders besides atopic dermatitis, because severe itching of the skin can be interpreted as “restlessness” (hansou) in many cases. Daiseiryuto is safe for long-term use by comparatively young, strong patients, but a precaution must be taken in prescribing it to patients with a past history of ischemic heart disease, because daiseiryuto has a high Ephedrae herba content.

Four Cases of Panic Disorder Successfully Treated with Shishi-hakuhi-to / 日本東洋医学雑誌

Shishi-hakuhi-to was prescribed for four patients with panic disorder and sleep disturbance who requested the extract. As indications for the usage of this formulation, discomfort and restlessness of the chest for which Gardeniae Fructus has proved efficacious against, were used. Symptoms such as palpitation, chest discomfort, hot flash, anxiety and insomnia improved promptly with Shishi-hakuhi-to administration. The four patients had several common points, that is, menopause, hot flash and dysesthesia, but no agoraphobia. So far, Shishi-hakuhi-to had been used for liver dysfunction and dermatological diseases. Our results suggest that Shishi-hakuhi-to might be useful for cases with psychiatric diseases such as panic disorder.

Anorexia, weakness, restlessness and parkinsonism associated with hypokalemia following radioactive iodine therapy

This paper, however, deals with a set of symptoms observed in four of the 52 patients-symptoms which we feel are apart from those in the thyroxine release syndrome. The uniformity of the signs and symptoms presented by the four patients, the consistency in the time of appearance and the correspondence of the biochemical observations in all the patients excited our curiosity. It is possible that the four cases are those of a delayed, severe or atypical thyroxine release syndrome. They seem more likely to be what many would call cases of thyroid storm or thyroid crisis a vague and ill defined syndrome which has defied understanding. (Author)
