Ethnobotanical study on ritual plants used by Hani people in Yunnan, China.

BACKGROUND: The Hani people, who reside in Yuanyang County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, rely on rice terrace farming as their primary livelihood. They utilize plants in various traditional ritual practices. The Hani people have categorized the value of plants based on their natural attributes and have refined the ways of using different plants in specific rituals through practical observations and experiences derived from their agricultural culture. Although the plants used in these rituals hold significant cultural value, they have yet to be studied from the perspective of ethnobotany. This study aims to approach the ritual plants using ethnobotanical methods. METHODS: Ethnobotanical fieldwork was conducted in 10 villages in Yuanyang County between 2021 and 2023. Data were collected from the local Hani people through semi-structured interviews and participatory observations and 41 informants were interviewed during the field investigations. The frequency of citation (FC) and relative frequency of citation (RFC) were utilized to evaluate the relative importance of ritual plants among the local communities. RESULTS: A total of 36 plant species, belonging to 18 families and 34 genera, were recorded as being used in 11 ritual practices by the Hani people. Rosaceae, Poaceae, and Fabaceae were found to have the highest number of species. Most of the ritual plants used by the Hani people were collected from the wild. FC and RFC analysis showed that the preferred plants for Hani rituals were Rhus chinensis Mill, Oryza sativa L., Phyllostachys sulphurea (Carr.) A. et C. Riv. and Musa basjoo Siebold & Zucc. ex Iinuma. The 11 rituals are all centered around the performance of people, crops and livestock. The Hani people use plants in different rituals mainly based on their biological attributes. CONCLUSIONS: Many rituals of the Hani people are closely related to their production and livelihood, and the plants used in these rituals are deeply rooted in Hani's traditional ecological knowledge and beliefs. The Hani people's reverence for nature, respect for life, gratitude towards ancestors, and seeking blessings and disaster prevention for their families, crops, and livestock are all reflected in these rituals and their utilization of ritual plants. The Hani people showcase their agricultural culture in the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces through plant-based ritual performances. Studying ritual plants in the core area of the Hani Rice Terraces is of great significance for protecting the Hani Terrace farming culture. In the future, it is essential to pay more attention to the role of traditional knowledge in biodiversity conservation.

Biological Connotation of Pathogenesis of Colorectal Cancer Due to Damp-heat Accumulation Based on Immune Response-intestinal Microbial Axis / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Colorectal cancer （CRC） is a malignant tumor of the intestinal tract with changes in bowel habits， blood in the stool， and pain as the main clinical manifestations. With the change in lifestyle and diet structure in recent years， the incidence of CRC has been increasing year by year. The pathogenesis of CRC is closely related to abnormal immune response and chronic inflammation， intestinal microbial dysbiosis， and the production of oncogenic metabolites. There is a two-way communication between the intestinal microbiota and the body's immunity， which not only plays a key role in maintaining the body's health but also has a close relationship with the development of diseases. An increasing number of studies have shown that abnormal immune responses accelerate the disease process by producing inflammatory factors， causing chronic inflammation in the body， disrupting the intestinal mucosal barrier， and increasing mucosal permeability， thus resulting in dysbiosis of the intestinal microbial ecology and a large number of pathogenic microorganisms and their metabolites. In addition， dysbiosis of intestinal microbes， by suppressing the normal immune response， leads to the disruption of multiple metabolic pathways in the body， affecting the internal and external stress response of the intestine， inducing inflammation， and thus producing disease. Therefore， the complex crosstalk mechanism between the immune response and intestinal microbial axis is closely related to the development of CRC. Based on traditional Chinese medicine theory and clinical research， it was found that dietary factors are an important causative factor in the development of CRC. The deficiency of positive energy is the root cause of the disease， and damp-heat accumulation is the key pathogenesis. Through modern medical and biological research， it is believed that abnormal immune response is the microscopic manifestation of damp-heat entrapment， while intestinal microbial dysbiosis is the biological basis of toxic injection into the large intestine， and in the pathogenesis of CRC， the imbalance of immune response-intestinal microbial axis is compatible with damp-heat accumulation in traditional Chinese medicine. This study aims to explore the biological connotation of CRC due to damp-heat accumulation from the immune response-intestinal microbial axis， so as to interpret the pathogenesis of CRC due to damp-heat accumulation with objective data and provide new ideas and theoretical basis for the pathogenesis and treatment strategies of CRC due to damp-heat accumulation.

Biological Connotation of Disease-stage-state of Hypertension in Concept of State-target Differentiation and Treatment From Perspective of Lipophagy / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Hypertension is a common chronic disease with elevated arterial pressure as the main clinical manifestation，which can cause lesions in important organs such as heart，brain and kidney. In recent years，the prevalence of hypertension has increased，and its incidence is also increasing year by year. Combining the theory of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） with personal clinical experience，Academician TONG Xiaolin put forward the specific pathogenesis of "disease-stage-state" of hypertension based on the state-target theory. Lipophagy plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension by interfering with lipid metabolism，atherosclerosis，arterial plaque formation，vascular remodeling，vascular endothelial injury and other aspects of hypertension. Through modern medical and biological research，on the one hand，it is believed that the dynamic pathological changes in lipophagy are closely related to the "stage" of hypertensive state-target differentiation and treatment，corresponding to the time points of disease occurrence and development in the three stages of hypertension. On the other hand，it is believed that lipophagy is an important microscopic manifestation of the "state" of hypertensive state-target differentiation and treatment. From the perspective of lipophagy，this paper discusses the biological connotation of the 'disease-stage-state' model of state-target differentiation and treatment of hypertension and draws on the modern medicine to understand the law of disease development，matching the macro differentiation and treatment of TCM and the micro physico-chemical indicators of modern medicine to achieve precise TCM treatment. This study provides new ideas for the early prevention and treatment of hypertension and its complications.

Muddied Waters: The Use of "Residual" And "Legacy" Phosphorus.

Phosphorus (P) inputs to the biosphere have quadrupled in less than a century due to intensification of rock phosphate mining and the use of P fertilizers for crop production. Accumulation of P in soils can increase P transfers across the soil-water continuum that impair aquatic ecosystem function and water resource quality for society. However, what this accumulated P is called, and subsequent connotations of magnitude versus mechanism at pedon versus watershed scale, varies in the literature. We argue that the two commonly used terms of "residual" and "legacy" P, though often used interchangeably, hold distinct meanings and connotations. Tracing the historical origins and trajectories of these terms reveals that "residual P" refers to the magnitude of fertilizer P that remains in the soil after crop harvest, whereas "legacy P" refers to the mechanism of P transfer across the watershed and its long-term impacts on water quality. The use of "legacy P" in many cases refers to the residuality of anthropogenic P inputs, and thus should be "residual P". We recommend that the term "residual P" be used when referring to the accumulation of P in soils under agricultural management from past inputs, and the term "legacy P" be used when referring to the transfer of P within watersheds. The intentional and thus consistent use of residual versus legacy P stands to provide important nuance in the environmental sciences and overlapping fields of agronomy and biogeochemistry.

The flower of the desert and a migrant experience: Two examples of personal codes.

The concept of personal code is inspired by Peirce and Coseriu but is compatible with Code Biology. Persons can build their cultural code out of the codes available among their communities. Personal codes are social i.e., they are constructed by a population of interacting human code-makers, yet the interacting population is made of different states of the same human mind. The rules of personal codes are a set that can be partitioned into two subsets: the subset of rules that are shared with other human beings and the subset of rules that are followed by just one person. In a personal code, some of the meanings of a pre-existing cultural code are connected either with new cultural meanings or with meanings coming from a different pre-existing cultural code. The attachment of a new meaning to a previous one will be exemplified by analyzing Giacomo Leopardi's poem La Ginestra, while the personal connection between two different cultural codes will be shown in a text written by a young migrant. These two case studies employ Hjelmslev's connotative analysis of sign systems.

[Discussion on discipline of herbalism].

Since the emergence of the term "materia medica", scholars have proposed different opinions on its concept. This term has been used to refer to traditional Chinese medicines, or medical books, or traditional pharmacology. Due to the differences in the concept of materia medica, scholars also have controversies about the concept of herbalism. Herbalism is usually understood as traditional Chinese pharmacology. After years of evolution, the term "herbalism" has now possessed the characteristics of an independent discipline, which can be defined as an applied basic discipline that comprehensively utilizes traditional and modern technological methods to study the formation, development, and changes of traditional pharmacology and reveal the basic theories and application laws of traditional medicine. At present, the research content of herbalism mainly includes three aspects: materia medica history, materia medica literature, and traditional pharmacology. This study explores the disciplinary concepts and main research content of herbalism based on a systematic review of the literature about the concepts of materia medica and herbalism, with the aim of attracting more attention to promote the establishment and development of the discipline of herbalism.

The contradiction between supply and demand of health service in China is becoming increasingly prominent, making it urgent for nurses with prescription rights to join the primary healthcare team. On the basis of clarifying the connotation and characteristics of nurses′ prescription rights, the authors demonstrated and analyzed the demands, realistic basis and challenges of nurses′ prescription right granting, and put forward their thoughts on the feasible paths from the aspects of national system construction and local pilot exploration, aiming to provide reference for promoting the reform of nurses′ prescription right granting in China.

Biological Connotation of Pathogenesis of Ulcerative Colitis with Liver Depression and Spleen Deficiency Based on Bile Acid-intestinal Flora Axis / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Ulcerative colitis （UC） is one of the chronic refractory inflammatory bowel diseases characterized by abdominal pain， diarrhea， and mucus， pus and blood in the stool. In recent years， with changes in human life style and improvements of the diagnosis， the incidence and prevalence of UC have been increasing. The pathogenesis of UC is closely related to intestinal mucosal immune dysfunction， intestinal flora disturbance， and abnormal bile acid secretion. Patients with UC have abnormal bile acid secretion and intestinal flora imbalance. A large number of studies have found that abnormal bile acid secretion inhibits immune function， affects signal transduction， and destroys the intestinal mucosal barrier. Intestinal flora disturbance has an important impact on the occurrence and development of inflammation， immune homeostasis， and stress. Bile acids indirectly or directly affect the structure and function of intestinal flora， and at the same time， they produce secondary bile acids under the modification of intestinal flora， entering the liver through enterohepatic circulation. Therefore， the complex dialogue mechanism of bile acid-intestinal flora axis is closely related to the occurrence and development of UC. Based on the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） and clinical research， it is found that emotion is an important factor that induces this disease， spleen and stomach weakness is the root of the disease， and liver depression and spleen deficiency are the key pathogenesis of UC. Combined with modern medicine and molecular biology research， it is believed that abnormal secretion of bile acids is a microscopic manifestation of liver depression in TCM， and intestinal flora disturbance is the biological basis of spleen deficiency. In the pathogenesis of UC， the imbalanced bile acid-intestinal flora axis is consistent with the pathogenesis of liver depression and spleen in TCM. The exploration of the biological connotation of the pathogenesis of UC with liver depression and spleen deficiency from the perspective of bile acid-intestinal flora axis can better explain the scientific nature of its pathogenesis， which provides new clinical solutions and reliable references for studying the pathogenesis of UC with liver depression and spleen deficiency and finding representative prescriptions to prevent and treat this disease.

Connotation, characteristics and framework of coal mine safety big data.

With the continuous development of automation and information technology, large amounts of safety data are produced in the processes of coal production. Most enterprises simply focus on statistics and do not conduct systematic big data analyses. Therefore, it is necessary to study the theory of coal mine safety while using big data systematically. This paper expounds on the changes in coal mine safety that have been driven by big data from three aspects: the connotation, characteristics and research framework. First, the connotation of coal mine safety big data (CMSBD) is redefined by changing the safety entities and methods. Second, the advantages and disadvantages of the big data model are compared from the perspective of feature analysis. Finally, the research paradigm and technical framework of CMSBD are designed. The results show that the management connotation of CMSBD focuses on the role of big data in coal mine safety. Compared with coal mine safety small data (CMSSD), CMSBD has both advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, CMSBD must be combined with a small data method. The research paradigm emphasizes the intersection of the research, the relevance of safety thinking, the importance of safety data analysis, and the fusion of big data with traditional small data models.

Key Considerations From a Health Authority Perspective When Proton Pump Inhibitors Are Used to Treat Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and Their Implications.

The growing prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) needs to be carefully managed to relieve the symptoms and prevent complications. Complications of GERD can include erosive esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus and gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are typically first-line treatment for GERD alongside lifestyle changes in view of their effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. However, there are concerns with adherence to dosing regimens and recommended lifestyle changes reducing their effectiveness. There are also concerns about potential complications from chronic high-dose PPIs. These include an increased risk of chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular events and infections. Recommendations to physicians include prescribing or dispensing the lowest dose of PPI for the shortest time, with ongoing patient monitoring. Activities among community pharmacists and others have resulted in increased dispensing of PPIs without a prescription, which can be a challenge. PPIs are among the most prescribed and dispensed medicines in view of their effectiveness in managing GERD. However, there are concerns with the doses prescribed and dispensed as well as adherence to lifestyle advice. These issues and challenges need to be addressed by health authorities to maximize the role and value of PPIs.

[Processing theory of "leading vinegar-processing Chinese medicine into liver"].

The processing of Chinese medicine is a unique and dialectical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine in clinic.The processing theory of "leading vinegar-processing Chinese medicine into liver" is one of the traditional processing theories of Chinese medicine.The vinegar-processing Chinese medicine under the guidance of the processing theory typically reflects the characteristics of "reducing toxicity and enhancing efficacy" of the processing of Chinese medicine.This paper traced the origin and discussed the connotation of the traditional theory of "leading vinegar-processing Chinese medicine into liver".Combined with the research status of "lea-ding vinegar-processing Chinese medicine into liver", this paper explored the mechanism of "leading vinegar-processing Chinese medicine into liver" from the aspects of material basis, medicine effect, and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) meridian, and analyzed the existing problems in the current research.This paper reviewed the modern study on reducing toxicity and enhancing efficacy of vinegar-processing Chinese medicine, and deeply explored the scientific connotation of the traditional processing theory of "leading vinegar-processing Chinese medicine into liver".At the same time, the research trend and idea of the effect mechanism of "leading vinegar-processing Chinese medicine into liver" based on the Quality markers(Q-Marker) of TCM, biological targets, and clinical prescriptions were put forward, providing references for the further study on "leading vinegar-processing Chinese medicine into liver".This paper also provided a scientific basis for the rational selection of processed products in TCM clinical practice.

Connotation and scientific research points of processing of Mongolian medicinal materials.

Traditional Mongolian medicine (TMM) is an important part of Chinese traditional culture, which plays an important role within the medical system of China. The processing of Mongolian medicinal materials is a pharmaceutical technology, which is the unique characteristics of Mongolian medicine. In this paper, the basic concepts related to the processing of Mongolian medicinal materials were introduced, and its scientific research points were put forward, in order to deeply excavate the connotation of Mongolian pharmacy and further study the processing mechanism of Mongolian medicinal materials, so as to provide important basis for the development of Chinese traditional medicine. The essence of Mongolian medicinal materials processing is to use drugs safely and dialectically to ensure the quality of Mongolian medicinal materials. The scientific research sites of Mongolian medicinal materials processing have two categories: reducing toxicity (increasing) effect and synergistic effect of excipients and processing factors. Because of the not perfect research platform of Mongolian medicinal materials and the weak processing power, the development of research of Mongolian medicinal materials is relatively slow. Therefore, there are many research breakthroughs in the interdisciplinary research on the processing of Mongolian medicinal materials, and it is expected to become a research hotspot.

They indicated which colors they associated with various personality words, completed the Ten Item Personality Inventory, and ranked their color preferences. We analyzed the data using frequency analysis, correlation analysis, t-tests, regression analysis, and cluster analysis. Results: The analyses revealed that all five personality types have characteristic color associations. Through regression analysis, we found that color preference can significantly predict personality. The comparison among personality groups produced by cluster analysis confirmed that people with strong specific personalities prefer the colors that symbolize their personalities. Discussion: This study's findings highlight the relationship between personality and color preference. The limitations and suggestions for future studies are also presented.

Connotation and Clinical Application of Tong （Dredging） Method in Treatment of Coronary Heart Disease / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Tong （dredging） method in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） emphasizes soothing the stagnated Qi， blood， and body fluid in zang-fu organs， meridians， and collaterals to remove pathogens， reinforce vital Qi， and balance Yin and Yang of the human body. Tong method can be adopted to disperse sweat pore， attack pathogenic Qi， harmonize Yin and Yang， as well as tonify deficiency， and resolve stagnation. It has been proved effective in treating coronary heart disease （CHD）， which falls into the category of "chest impediment and heart pain" in TCM， with the key pathogenesis lying in blood vessel obstruction. Therefore， dredging blood vessels is the primary therapeutic principle for CHD. Specifically， there are four aspects. The first is dispersing and dredging the sweat pore of the heart. If the sweat pore is occluded by pathogenic cold， which makes Yang-qi undissipated， Cinnamomi Ramulus， Piperis Longi Fructus， Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma， and Asari Radix et Rhizoma can be prescribed for warming and dredging heart Yang. If the Yang-qi of the heart and chest stagnated in the body， which hinders Qi and blood to nourish the myocardium， resulting in chest pain， Poria and Alismatis Rhizoma can be prescribed. For CHD due to atherosclerosis and inflammation， heat-clearing， toxin-removing， and inflammation-resisting Chinese medicinal herbs such as Coptidis Rhizoma and Rhei Radix et Rhizoma are recommended. The second is attacking and dredging the collaterals of the heart. Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， Chuanxiong Rhizoma， Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma， etc. can be prescribed for blood stasis， Trichosanthis Fructus， Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus， Pinelliae Rhizoma， etc. for phlegm， and Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum， Euodiae Fructus， etc. for pathogenic cold. Since the chronic disease can affect collaterals， Moschus and Santali Albi Lignum can be added to promote blood circulation and remove the obstruction of collaterals of the heart. The third is harmonizing and dredging the mind. Cinnamomi Ramulus， Coptidis Rhizoma， Cinnamomi Cortex， etc. are selected for restoring the coordination between the heart and the kidney. According to the specific syndrome， the methods of nourishing the mind and calming the nerves through tranquilizing the mind， calming down the mind， and inducing resuscitation can be selected using such Chinese medicines as Ziziphi Spinosae Semen， Polygalae Radix， and Draconis Ossa. The fourth is tonifying and dredging the Qi and blood of the heart. The deficiency syndrome of CHD is divided into Qi deficiency and kidney deficiency. Invigorating Qi and strengthening the heart are the first essentials for the treatment of CHD. In Qi invigoration， Qi and blood must be strengthened simultaneously to strengthen the heart and clear the pulse. Hence， Bazhentang modified by Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Carthami Flos can be chosen. In kidney Qi tonifying， kidney and heart must be strengthened simultaneously， and the methods of tonifying kidney and activating blood can be used. Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma and Astragali Radix are considered as the first choice for tonifying heart Qi， and Epimedii Folium and Morindae Officinalis Radix for tonifying kidney Qi， which are added with Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata to obtain the kidney-tonifying and blood-activating prescription. It is suitable for treating CHD due to kidney deficiency and blood stasis. Simultaneous treatment of heart and kidney is more suitable for middle-aged and elderly patients and chronically ill patients. Tong method can be used in various clinical diseases as well as CHD.
