Study on Acute Toxicity and Effect of Aconite Roots Based on Disease/Syndrome / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

This study was aimed to observe influence of disease/syndrome on the toxicity and effect of aconite roots, in order to reveal relationship among disease/syndrome, toxicity and effect. The mice model of cold syn-drome was establish by wind-cold stimulation. The pain model was established by intraperitioneal injection of glacial acetic acid. Then, LD50 and ED50 of analgesic effect were compared, as well as the therapeutic index (TI) of crude aconite roots. The rat model of cold syndrome was also established by wind-cold stimulation. And the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) model was established by intracutaneous injection of CII and CFA. TD50 of cardiac toxic-ity and arthroncus degree of prepared aconite roots were compared among the normal rats, RA rats, RA with wind-cold stimulation rats according to the recording of lead II ECG. The results showed that after wind-cold stimulation, mice and rats appeared with symptoms which were similar to Chinese medicine cold syndrome. Com-pared with normal mice, LD50 and TI increased, but ED50 decreased in the group of wind-cold stimulation after using powders of crude aconite roots. Compared with normal rats, TD50 of cardiac toxicity and arthroncus degree in-creased in groups of RA and RA with wind-cold stimulation after using prepared aconite roots. It was concluded that in the case of disease/syndrome state, the toxicity of aconite roots decreased, but its effect increased. It sug-gested that there is a significant correlation among disease/syndrome, toxicity and effect.

La investigaci¢n familiar y el valor de la metodolog¡a cualitativa para el estudio del afrontamiento a la enfermedad sicklemica / Family research and the value of the qualitative methodology for the study of confrontation with the sickle cell anemia

La investigación familiar en salud es un tipo de investigación que toma a la familia como unidad de anàlisis para generar conocimientos sobre la relación de este grupo social con la salud de sus integrantes y de la población en su conjunto. Pretende reflejar las múltiples y complejas interacciones entre la sociedad, la familia y la salud, así como entre las políticas sanitarias, los sistemas de atención de salud y las necesidades familiares. La metodología de investigación cualitativa ofrece recursos idóneos para el estudio del afrontamiento familiar ante la salud y los procesos críticos de enfermedad de sus integrantes. Se muestran experiencias del proceso de investigación del afrontamiento familiar en 23 familias que tienen un niño en edad escolar con padecimiento de anemia drepanocítica. Dicho estudio se realizó en la provincia Granma en el año 2007. Se utilizó la entrevista a profundidad tomando como informante clave a la madre o cuidador del paciente. Se identificaron dos etapas en la vida familiar, una comprendida entre 0-5 años de edad del menor enfermo y otra etapa de 6-11 años, ambas vinculadas al hospital, dado los frecuentes ingresos durante los primeros años de vida. Se distinguieron tres fases en orden secuencial en el proceso de afrontamiento: confusión, adaptació y adaptación-integración. Emergió un patrón de afrontamiento que ha propiciado que las familias den cumplimiento a sus funciones, independientemente de la condición de sobreesfuerzo que le impone, para la vida cotidiana, la responsabilidad del cuidado de un niño portador de una enfermedad genética y crónica

Family research in health is a type of research line that takes the family as the analysis unit in order to know the association of this social group with the health status of family members and of the population as a whole. It intended to reflect the many complex interactions among the society, the family and health as well as among the health policies, the health care systems and the family requirements. The qualitative research methodology provides ideal resources to study the family confrontation with health and the critical processes of disease affecting its members. The outcomes of the research study of family confrontation with disease conduced in 23 families having school-age children with sickle cell anemia were shown. This study was performed in Granma province in 2007 in which in-depth interviews were administered to key informers, that is, the patient's mother or caregiver. Two stages have been identified in the family life, the one covering 0 to 5 years of age of the sick child, and the other ranging from 6 to 11 years of age; both of them are linked to frequent admission to hospital during the early childhood. Additionally, three phases in sequential order were determined in the process of confrontation: confusion, adaptation and adaptation-integration. There emerged a pattern of confrontation allowing the families to fulfill their functions, regardless of the great efforts demanded by the care of a child who carries chronic genetic disease

Mathematics of yin-yang and five phases and deducing disease before onset / 中华中医药杂志

Mathematical theoretical system of yin-yang and five phases is composed of three axioms based on theories of yin-yang and five phases and several ten theorems deriving from these axioms. The three axioms is mathematical model of vital movement of human body in a sense of traditional Chinese medicine. Physiological formulas of yin-yang and five phases deriving from some theorems reveal the universal laws of physiological activities of human body. On the basis of these formulas,we can deduce disease before onset from with,and deduce the prescription on the bases of the principle of the yin-yang equilibrium of human body followed by the yin-yang equilibrium of five internal organs and six hollow organs,theory of channel tropism of traditional Chinese medicines and its impact with regard to yin-yang. Furthermore,we can develop application software of traditional Chinese medical science and realize modernization of determination of treatment based on pathogenesis obtained through differentiation of symptoms and signs,thereby traditional Chinese medical science go to the world.
