ABSTRACT
[Objective] To discuss Zhongjing’s theory on“protecting stomach Qi”and its application on woman’s diseases in Jingui Yaolüe. [Methods] Study and summarize Zhongjing’s theory on “protecting stomach Qi”through literature research and comprehensive analysis and its application on wom-an’s diseases in Jingui Yaolüe. [Results] Zhongjing paid great attention to every aspects including therapy and pharmacy, contraindications, boiling herbs and taking medicine, and prognosis. His theory of “protecting stomach qi”reflected in the three chapters of woman’s diseases in Jingui Yaolüe.[Conclu-sion] Zhongjing placed great stress on protecting stomach qi and applied the theory of spleen and stomach which Huangdi Neijing established to clinical practice. This theory is of great importance for the doctors at later ages in guiding diagnosis and treating disease.
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to explore the nonlinear relationship between syndromes and prescriptions by using the artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm. The clauses composed of syndromes and prescriptions in Shanghan Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases) were sorted out. A total of 245 clauses were trained with ANN to establish the knowledge base model of syndromes and prescriptions. After that, 100 clauses were tested. And then, the symptoms of Gui-Zhi-Tang (GZT) syndrome, Ma-Huang-Tang (MHT) syndrome, Xiao-Chai-Hu-Tang (XCHT) syndrome and Bai-Hu-Tang (BHT) syndrome were input into the model to predict the Chinese herbs. The results showed that the test accuracy of the model was 79%. For the herbs to GZT and MHT syndrome, the test error was less than 0.1. For the main herbs to XCHT and BHT syndrome, the test error was less than 0.1. While for other herbs, the test error was less than 0.3. It was concluded that the ANN algorithm can simulate the nonlinear relationship between syndromes and prescriptions, which can be applied to study the syndrome differentiation, in order to contribute to the syndromes and prescriptions standardization and the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) information.
ABSTRACT
According to the texts of Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction in the books of Maijing,Qianjin Yaofang,Qianjin Yifang,Taiping Shenghui Fang,Hxin Fang,and Jingui Yuhan Jing,the author drew the following conclusions:Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction in the present Shanghan Lun was very likely the written error Of Baihu Decoction,which was more close to the original meaning of Zhang Zhong-jing.From the period of Sui and Tang Dynasty,doctors had gotten new experiences in their practices.They added Ginsen into Baihu Decoction and named the new decoction"BaihU Jia Renshen Decoction",which was still in use today.Although there was not intrinsically difierence between Baihu Decoction and Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction,while the saying of"adding Renshen or not,should be decided by patient's Yuanqi"by doctor Shu Chi-yuan in Qing Dynasty had a significant impact.The erroneous views by some recent scholars can't be complied with,who advocated that the four main symptoms of Baihu Decoction syndrome should belong to syndrome of Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction according to the original texts in Shanghan Lun.
ABSTRACT
It mainly discusses the therapy of kidney edema on“Shanghan Lun”,which is caused by nephritis,nephrotic syndrome and renal failure.In addition to the manifestation and therapeutic principle of edema,the implication of some herbs combination is also described in detail.Meanwhile,some viewpionts are strengthened with concepts of modern medicine.In conclusion,Zhang Zhongjing puts importance on the etiology,pathogenesis of disease when treating edema.Therefore,ascending and discending Qi is highlightened as the general principle during the treatment of kidney edema.
ABSTRACT
Due to the history reasons,it was believed that Zhang Zhongjing wrote Treatise on Cold Pathogenic Diseases(Shanghan Lun) according to Inner Canon of Huangdi(Huangdi Nei Jing),thus Treatise on Cold Pathogenic Diseases(Shanghan Lun) was explained by means of six channels,zang-fu viscera and meridian from Inner Canon of Huangdi(Huangdi Nei Jing),so that we can not comprehend medical science of Zhang Zhongjing correctly.By textual research data confirmed,Treatise on Cold Pathogenic Diseases(Shanghan Lun) written by Zhang Zhongjing was not according to Inner Canon of Huangdi(Huangdi Nei Jing),its main content formulae-syndromes was coming from Tangye Jing Fa etc classical formulae medicine.Treatise on Cold Pathogenic Diseases mainly inherited differentiation of syndromes by eight principles and added half exterior and half interior concept to form differentiation of syndromes by six channels theory,in this way,it made six channels as key line,formulae-syndromes as item,coming into being the unique system of treatment based on syndrome differentiation."Six channels" in Treatise on Cold Pathogenic Diseases and Inner Canon of Huangdi has different theory concepts,so when readouting Treatise on Cold Pathogenic Diseases,we should not confuse the two concepts.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To study the similarity and difference of approximate recipes for edema. METHODS: The approximate clinical commonly used recipes for edema were analyzed in respect of medicine constitute, interpretation of the cause, main functions and clinical application of modern Chinese medicine, etc. RESULTS:The similarity and difference of approximate recipes were found out and their key points in clinical application were confirmed. CONCLUSIONS: It must be careful and considerate to identify the type of edema, afford the reasonable recipes and combine the essence of interpretation of the cause when the new therapy methods are put forward according to modern Chinese medicine. Recipes which are chosen and applied according to their similarity and difference can obtain comparatively sound curative effect.
