RESUMO
This paper reviewed the development of biological holography theory， discussed on the limitations of biological holography law， and explained the theoretical connotation and basis of the “three-level two-node and three-segment holographic theory” innovatively proposed by Academician TONG Xiaolin， aiming at inspiring new thinking on the theoretical research of biological holography. By observing the human body structure， Academician TONG Xiaolin finds that there is a similar law in the head， trunk， limbs， and fingers （toes） that there are two moveable joints （groups） dividing the part into three segments， and each segment contains all the information of the whole part， which is a holographic phenomenon. Accordingly， Academician TONG creatively put forward the “three-level two-node and three-segment holographic theory” of the human body， and “three levels” respectively refer to the original level trunk， the branch level limbs， and the end level extremities. The “two nodes” refer to the two joints （groups） of each level， and “two nodes” can be further divided into “three segments”. Therefore， there are “two nodes” and “three segments” in each level with a similar distribution pattern， which reflects the holographic distribution law that the part reflects the whole and the whole includes the part.
RESUMO
“Cold-dampness entering ying （营）” is the key to the worsening of cold-dampness epidemic， and is more common in the elderly or critically ill cases of cold-dampness epidemic with pathogen exuberance and healthy qi deficiency. This paper reported a case of critically ill COVID-19 combined with multiple organ dysfunction treated by integrative traditional Chinese and western medicine based on “cold-dampness entering ying” theory. The patient did not have high fever after being infected with SARS-Cov-2， but D-dimer continued to increase， and she developed multiple thrombosis throughout the body and multiple organ dysfunctions such as pulmonary embolism， edema， oliguria， and shock. The patient were with enlarged and dusky tongue， with yellow， thick and greasy coating， and sublingual blood stasis， and thready， rapid and rough pulse. All these were characteristic manifestations of “cold-dampness entering ying”， and was differentiated as cold-dampness stasis. For the treatment， symptomatic and supportive western medicine of improving heart function， anti-infection， relieving asthma， stopping cough and reducing phlegm was given as the basic therapy， and additionally， traditional Chinese medicine to open the constraint and the blocked， save from collapse and restore yang， boost qi and relieve collapse， invigorate blood and drain water was used， usually with Modified Poge Zilong Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction （破格子龙宣白承气汤加减）， which was in accordance with the pathogenesis and thus achieving good effect.
RESUMO
Liver transplant patients require lifelong immunotherapy， and if they are infected by SARS-Cov-2， their immune function will face double whammy. This report described the integrated approach of traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of a liver transplant patient with severe COVID-19. The treatment was involved with western medicine such as antiviral， immunosuppressive， focusing on maintaining immune balance. Traditional Chinese medicine was given based on the differentiation of syndromes， targeting at the core pathogenesis and using methods such as promoting qi circulation， clearing heat and resolving dampness， draining lung and relieving panting. Following the treatment， the patient exhibited notable improvement in clinical symptoms and liver function， leading to the effective cessation of disease progression and a shortened recovery period.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the impact of local lipiodol deposition in liver of miniature pigs on the shape and size of the necrotic area after microwave ablation (MWA).Methods Ten healthy miniature pigs were selected and equally divided into experimental group and control group (each n=5).In experimental group,transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization with lipiodol was done before microwave ablation,while only standard microwave ablation was performed in control group.Immediate post-ablation CT images were obtained.Long-axis diameter (LAD),short-axis diameter (SAD),sphericity index (SI=SAD/LAD) and volume of ablation zone were calculated.The size and shape of the ablated areas were compared between two groups.Results The mean LAD,SAD,SI and volume of ablation zone in experimental group ([4.21 ± 0.52]cm,[2.87±0.38]cm,0.69±0.10,[18.72±6.08]cm3) were larger than those in control group ([3.71±0.42]cm,[2.19±0.42]cm,0.60±0.09,[9.44±2.29] cm3;all P＜0.05).Conclusion Local deposition of lipiodol in liver parenchyma of miniature pigs can help to produce larger and rounder necrosis in the ablation zone.
RESUMO
Objective: To explore the molecular mechanism of Taoren-Honghua herb pair (THP) on syndrome of bloodstasis based on the network pharmacology. Methods: We collected THP's compounds from traditional Chinese Medicinedatabases and input them into Pharm Mapper to get their potential targets, and collected the known targets of compoundsby Scifinder. Then we did KEGG-pathway analysis by DAVID database. Finally draw and analyze the network byCytoscape by information above. Results: Seventeen compounds of THP acquired 74 known targets, which was associatedwith four modules: improving the hemodynamics, anticoagulation, anti-inflammation, regulating apoptosis andproliferation. We also got 317 potential targets through PharmMapper and got 128 signaling pathway through pathwayenrichment including 39 disease-related pathways, 25 endocrine-related pathways, 11 immune-related pathways and soon. Conclusion: The four modules of the known target are exactly related to the four characteristics of the syndrome ofblood stasis. The potential targets and the 128 signal pathways involve a variety of pathophysiological processes of thesyndrome of blood stasis. These reflect the molecular mechanism of THP intervention in the syndrome of blood stasis
