The syndrome differentiation of Yin and Yang has the function of controlling the other six principles in the eight principles syndrome differentiation，which is a higher level or general induction of the disease. In the clinical process of traditional Chinese medicine，syndrome differentiation of Yin and Yang runs through the whole process of disease diagnosis and treatment. For Parkinson's disease，syndrome differentiation of Yin and Yang is particularly important. Different symptoms，the transformation of pathogenesis during the development of the disease and the treatment of traditional Chinese and western medicine all reflect the characteristics of Yin and Yang opposition restriction，mutual root and mutual use，and the transformation of ebb and flow. This article discusses the background，application and value of Yin-Yang syndrome differentiation from three aspects：the origin and application of yin-yang syndrome differentiation，the basis of Parkinson's disease syndrome differentiation，and the status and role of Yin-Yang syndrome differentiation in Parkinson's disease. It is of great significance to guide the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease with "Yin-Yang as the key point".

Theory and application of pulse diagnosis at Renying and Cunkou regions / 中国针灸

Renying and Cunkou pulse diagnostic method is one of the important parts of the pulse diagnosis in Huangdi Neijing (Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor) and has been controversial since its proposal. This article takes WANG Shu-he's diagnostic operation as the evidence, and is in reference of the statement, "Cun region (the region ahead of Guan region of Cunkou) determines the human life, that on the left hand refers to Renying, while on the right hand is Qikou". The pulse conditions on the left and right hands represent yin and yang. If Renying pulse on the left is greater, the diseases are in yang meridians, while if Cunkou pulse on the right is bustling, the diseases are in yin meridians. By comparing the pulse condition and strength, as well as the pulse beating (rapid and urgent) between Guan region and region ahead of Guan on the same side, the conditions of three yang and three yin meridians are detected. In treatment, based on the records of Renying and Cunkou pulse diagnosis in Huangdi Neijing, the principles are proposed for reinforcing and reducing methods on hand and foot meridians of yin and yang. Five-shu points and yuan-source points are taken as the main acupoints in acupuncture treatment. During treatment, the changes in pulse conditions should be emphasized specifically and those at Renying and Cunkou regions are the criteria for judging qi arrival and qi regulation.

SUBVERTING JOSEPH CAMPBELL'S HEROIC IDEOLOGY:LUCIFER EFFECT – THE GOOD / EVIL DIVIDE IN THE PORTRAYAL OF RAVANA IN RAMAYANA

For centuries Ramayana has been the centre of contention for the critics with respect to dei?cation of Rama, epitome of virtue and defamation of Ravana, the king of the darkest kind. Joseph Campbell's de?nition of a Hero resides with a person's heroic quest to achieve something that is beyond himself through his encounter with a challenging enemy and his victorious return. Ravana, the antagonist, underwent a challenging quest and was unconquerable until he was faced with his one tragic ?aw – his lust for Sita. Upon looking through the lens of deconstruction, this abduction doesn't make Ravana the antagonist of the plot but actually a Tragic Hero of Aristotle. This Hamartia of Ravana was not implied by him but was imposed upon him by the circumstances which make him a fallen hero – the Lucifer of Genesis. This paper aims to apply Philip Zimbardo's Lucifer Effect theory to explore Campbell's ideology of heroism with reference to Ravana and also attempts to answer the question whether Ravana is the greatest villain or is he actually a situational victim, who is outshined as a villain by his tragic ?aw intensi?ed by circumstantial pressures

Research thoughts on tumor immune responses by polysaccharide of Chinese medicine via oral administration / 中国中药杂志

Tumor immunotherapy is one of the most significant scientific progresses. The idea of applying the traditional Chinese theory of "the balance of Yin and Yang" to treat cancer is in accordance with that of modern tumor immune strategy. Researches indicated that polysaccharide of Chinese medicine through regulation in immune responses could offer better paradigm for tumor immune treatment under the traditional Chinese theory. However, current studies related to tumor immunotherapy largely focus on the immunity enhancement while lack of the exploration of suppressive factors. Meanwhile, the complex analysis and detection on composition as well as structure definitely increase the difficulty in mechanism of oral absorption and function in vivo. To better exploit novel Chinese medicine of polysaccharide for tumor immune treatment, this article will provide some constructive thoughts on regulation of tumor immune responses based on up to date researches of structure-function relationship, absorbent process and molecular mechanisms responsible for tumor immune as well.

Observation on Clinical Effect of Acupuncture with Warm Acupuncture on Female T2DM Patients of Dual Deficiency of Yin and Yang Syndrome / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

This study was aimed to observe the clinical effect of acupuncture together with warm acupuncture on fe-male type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients of dual deficiency of yin and yang syndrome. A total of 92 female T2DM patients of dual deficiency of yin and yang syndrome were divided into two groups, which were priority of yin deficiency in the type of dual deficiency of yin and yang (group 1) and priority of yang deficiency in the type of dual deficiency of yin and yang (group 2). There were 46 cases in each group. The treatment of acupuncture together with warm acupuncture was given for three month. The observation was made on the fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting leptin (FLP), fasting insulin (FINS), insulin sensitivity index (ISI), insulin resistance index (Homa-IR), insulin secre-tion index (Homa-β), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high den-sity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), body mass, body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (F%) before and af-ter treatment. The results showed that the total effective rate of group 1 was 69.57%, while the total effective rate of group 2 was 84.78%. There was no significant statistical difference between two groups. Compared with pretreatment, there were significant decrease on FLP, FPG, FINS, Homa-IR, TC, TG, LDL-C, body mass, BMI, and F% of both groups after treatment (P < 0.01). There was obvious increase on ISI, Homa-β, and HDL-C (P < 0.01). After treat-ment, the FPG, Homa-β and BMI of group 2 were better than group 1 (P< 0.05). After treatment, the level of LDC-C and HDC-L of both groups reached normal level. And the FPG of group 2 also reached normal level. It was con-cluded that acupuncture together with warm acupuncture can significantly adjust the level of fat-pancreatic islet shaft of T2DM patients of dual deficiency of yin and yang syndrome, reduce the leptin resistance and insulin resistance, enhance the sensibility of insulin and the function of pancreatic β cell, and correct the endocrine disorder, gly-cometabolism disorder and lipometabolism disorder. Acupuncture together with warm acupuncture did much better in lowering blood sugar and improving the function of pancreatic β cells of T2DM patients whose priority of yang defi-ciency in the type of dual deficiency of yin and yang than those whose priority of yin deficiency in the type of dual deficiency of yin and yang.

"Relationship between Yin And Yang from The Viewpoint of ""Conscious Spirit"" And""Primordial Spirit"" Is ""Up"" and ""Down"" Relationship" / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

With that general outlook, the relationship between Y in and Y ang is left and right relationship.

Secondly, conscious spirit is Y ang while primordial spirit is Y in . Motion is Y ang while stillness is Y in . Daytime is Y ang while nighttime is Y in .Conscious spirit is mainly appeared in reaction and daytime. Primordial spirit is mainly appeared in the rest and nighttime. Hot is Y ang while cold is Y in. Primordial spirit is mainly appeared in the sleep and rest when the en-ergy metabolism degrades. Therefore, from the viewpoint of conscious spirit and primordial spirit, the relationship between Y in and Y ang is up and down relationship.
