    TENG Jing;QI Xianghua;KANG Chen;LI Jiamin;YAN Wei;DING Xiao;XU Xiying;Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine;Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine;

    Through pulse diagnosis,the pathological changes of the five emotions can be discerned,delving deeply into the root causes of mental and psychological disorders,which allows practitioners grasp the pathological information of the body at various stages or at a deeper level,providing significant guidance for the clinical diagnosis and treatment. This specification progressively introduces the concept of “pulse-emotion correspondence” through “terms and definitions”,which is followed by an explanation of its meaning,and then establishes a fundamental framework for pulse diagnosis for diagnosing and identifying the relationship between pulse and emotion. By comprehensively analyzing pulse information to uncover the root causes of diseases at the psychological level and treating based on the discrimination of the emotion,it aids practitioners in gaining a deeper understanding of the pathological changes associated with the “emotion”,thereby providing crucial support for the syndrome differentiation and treatment of mental and psychological disorders. Based on existing research findings and in combination with relevant articles and group standards on “pulse-emotion correspondence”,this paper standardizes the clinical application of “pulse-emotion correspondence” within the framework of systematic sphygmology for pattern differentiation,focusing on its pathogenesis,construction,pulse-symptom relationships,and treatment,in order to improve the clinical treatment efficacy and diagnostic accuracy.

    LIU Xiangyang;XU Fei;LI Chang;ZANG Guodong;ZHANG Wei;Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine;Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine;

    Based on the theory of “blood stasis and toxin”,Professor ZHANG Wei has developed a differentiation and treatment approach for pulmonary nodule. He proposes that the core pathogenesis lies in lung qi deficiency with stagnation and obstruction of lung collaterals by phlegm,blood stasis and toxin pathogens,which is characterized by the syndrome of fundamental deficiency and symptomatic excess. Clinically,he employs the therapeutic principle of “tonifying the lungs as the fundamental principle while eliminating stasis and attacking toxins ”,emphasizing the importance of reinforcing lung and spleen to consolidate constitutional foundation;regulating liver and kidney to promote qi and blood circulation;harmonizing spleen function and eliminating toxins to resolve nodules. Combining classic medical principles with clinical practice,he develops “Huajie Powder Ointment(化 结 散 膏)”,which eliminates the stasis and toxins of the disease and replenishes the vital energy of the lungs,achieving a combined effect of attacking and tonifying,thereby “supporting the body's healthy qi without leaving any pathogenic factors and eliminating pathogenic factors without harming the body's healthy qi.” In clinical practice,Professor ZHANG emphasizes the integration of the four diagnostic methods,and flexibly adjusts the prescription according to the coexisting symptoms of phlegm,blood stasis and toxins,and applies insect-derived medications to eliminate latent pathogens strategically,which provides novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of chronic and stubborn refractory pulmonary nodule. One test case is attached.

  • Exploration on Pathogenesis of PMS/PMDD from Incompatibility Between Chongren and HPO Axis

    LIU Huayuan;WANG Yufang;MENG Qingyan;GUO Yinghui;College of Traditional Chinese Medicine,Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine;School of Medicine,Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine;

    Premenstrual syndrome(PMS) and its severe type,premenstrual dysphoric disorder(PMDD),are common diseases among women of childbearing age,seriously disturbing their normal lives and receiving increasing attention. According to traditional Chinese medicine,the core pathogenesis of PMS and PMDD is the liver's failure in governing conveyance and dispersion,and it is closely related to the imbalance of the Chong and Ren meridians. Based on the circulation and visceral relationship of the Chongren meridians,and the functional correspondence between the “ kidney-Tiangui-Chong and Ren-uterine cavity ” reproductive axis of traditional Chinese medicine and the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian(HPO) axis of western medicine,this article reveals the role of Chongren meridians incompatibility and the mechanisms of hormonal rhythm disorder and negative feedback abnormality,etc. in the pathogenesis of PMS/PMDD. The periodic abrupt changes of qi and blood in the Chong and Ren meridians can lead to disorders of liver,spleen and kidney functions,which subsequently triggers premenstrual emotional and physical symptoms;whereas HPO-axis sex hormone fluctuations exacerbate premenstrual-related symptoms by affecting neurotransmitters and central responsiveness. Through multi-targeted regulation of Chongren meridians and HPO axis functions,TCM can improve luteal function and endocrine status,providing new ideas for the clinical treatment. By integrating the theories of traditional Chinese and western medicine and deepening the modern scientific connotation of the theory of liver storage in traditional Chinese medicine,a bridge is built for the mechanism research and diagnosis and treatment practice of PMS/PMDD.

  • Staged Diagnosis and Treatment of Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders Based on Theory of “Wind,Fire,Toxin,Stasis,and Deficiency”

    WEN Zan;TAN Wenzhang;SUN Xiongxing;TANG Xukun;XIE Le;DENG Jun;WU Dahua;Hunan University of Chinese Medicine;Hunan Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine;

    Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder is a rare immune-mediated inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system,mainly affecting the optic nerve and spinal cord. Based on the theory of “wind,fire,toxin,blood deficiency and deficiency”,this article classifies and treats neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders into three stages:the acute phase,the remission phase,and the rehabilitation phase. It is proposed that the pathogenesis in the acute phase is external invasion of wind pathogen and damage to the marrow by heat toxins,which is mainly due to the pathological factors of wind,fire,and toxins. It is advisable to dispel wind and disperse pathogen,clear heat and detoxify. During the remission phase,the pathogenesis is characterized by disharmony of qi and blood and persistent heat and toxicity,which is mainly due to pathological factors of deficiency,fire and toxin. It is advisable to harmonize qi and blood,and clear heat and detoxify. The pathogenesis during the rehabilitation phase is characterized by deficiency of kidney essence and internal obstruction of blood stasis,which is mainly due to the pathological factors of deficiency and blood stasis. It is advisable to tonify kidney essence,promote blood circulation and unblock meridians,in order to provide new strategies and ideas for the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of this disease.

  • Research Ideas and Methods on Mathematical Relationship of Syndrome Differentiation in Traditional Chinese Medicine

    GAO Wulin;DAI Guohua;JI Yandi;GUAN Hui;DONG Xueyan;Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine;The First Clinical Medical College of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine;

    The mathematical model of syndrome differentiation is the core of intelligent auxiliary diagnosis system of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). In recent years,the intelligent research of TCM syndrome differentiation with knowledge engineering,mathematical statistics and machine learning as the main methods has been carried out successively. However,due to the multidimensional nonlinearity of TCM syndrome differentiation,there are respective deficiencies in the accuracy and interpretability of the models. The fundamental reason lies in the fact that the mathematical relationship of syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine is still unclear. This article explores the research ideas and methods of the mathematical relationship in TCM syndrome differentiation by focusing on the mapping relationship between “syndrome and symptoms” and the derivation relationship of the “four diagnostic methods”. Firstly,Bayesian networks,additive models and decision trees are introduced to clarify the diagnostic value of “symptom-syndrome” in TCM syndrome differentiation,the synergistic effect of “syndrome+syndrome” and the differential characteristics of “syndrome-syndrome”. Secondly,by using knowledge graphs,representation learning reasoning combined with the Delphi method,the reasoning path and diagnostic threshold of the “four diagnostic methods” in TCM syndrome differentiation are analyzed to clarify the mathematical relationship of TCM syndrome differentiation,providing a scientific basis for the construction of the mathematical model of TCM syndrome differentiation.

  • Exploration of Pathogenesis and Treatment of Geriatric Depression from Perspective of “One-Qi Circulation” Theory

    LIU Tianjiao;YU Ruotong;REN Chenghuan;LONG Linzi;FU Changgeng;Xiyuan Hospital,China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences;Beijing University of Chinese Medicine;

    This article discusses the pathogenesis and treatment of geriatric depression based on HUANG Yuanyu's “One qi circulation” theory. It is believed that the core pathogenesis of geriatric depression is the failure of the central earth to transport,the depression of wood and the suppression of vitality,the decline of fire and the failure of long-term control,the deficiency of water and the depression of yang qi and the failure of the utilization of the spirit,which prevent the circulation of qi and lead to various symptoms of depression. In treatment,guided by the theory of “One qi circulation”,and in accordance with the pathogenesis,the earth is strengthened and wood is raised respectively to regulate qi and relieve depression. The fire is tonified to support the earth,yang qi is raised to relieve depression. The earth is cultivated to benefit the kidneys,yang qi circulation is promoted to dispel depression,and treatment is given based on syndrome differentiation. It is proposed that the prescription and treatment of medicine in clinical practice should be based on nourishing and regulating the central earth,so as to achieve the regulation of wood qi by the combination of Dayu Decoction(达郁 汤) and Xiaoyao Powder(逍 遥 散). Huangya Decoction(黄芽汤) and Jinding Decoction(金鼎汤) are used to nourish the earth,benefit the heart,lower the stomach and consolidate the lungs. Tianhun Decoction(天 魂 汤) nourishes the middle to benefit the kidneys and boost yang qi,while Dipo Decoction(地魄汤) nourishes the earth to consolidate the spirit and store essence. The goal is to regulate the central earth,mediate the central qi,and coordinate the four sides,so as to make the circulation of qi,blood,yin and yang throughout the body orderly,promote the smooth flow of qi for growth and nourishment,restore the normal state of qi transformation and essence generation,regulate the smooth flow of qi and blood,and make the spirit clear,in order to alleviate various depressive symptoms and provide ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of geriatric depression with traditional Chinese medicine.

  • Discussion on Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia Based on Xuanfu Theory

    ZENG Qing;DING Xiaoqing;GUO Ming;CHEN Haiyan;LIU Junxia;LI Ling;LIAO Jing;LIAO Junyao;Graduate School of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine;Department of Hematology,Dongfang Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine;

    This article explores the pathogenesis and treatment strategies of primary immune thrombocytopenia(ITP) in traditional Chinese medicine based on Xuanfu theory. ITP is characterized by deficiency and damage of the liver,spleen and kidney as its root causes,with heat and blood stasis as its symptoms. The core pathogenesis is the abnormal opening and closing of Xuanfu,which leads to the disorder of qi and blood circulation. In the early stage,due to deficiency of constitution or invasion by external pathogenic pathogens,Xuanfu is deprived of nourishment and its opening and closing are out of balance. In the middle stage,stagnation of qi and blood leads to the formation of phlegm and blood stasis. In the final stage,Xuanfu leakage causes bleeding. The treatment follows the principle of combining tonification and dredging. It involves tonifying and opening Xuanfu to strengthen the spleen,nourish the kidney,and nourish Xuanfu,which is combined with qi-promoting and blood-activating medicinals to prevent congestion. Eliminating pathogenic factors and opening Xuanfu involves using wind medicinals to expel pathogenic factors and unblock meridians,insect-induced medicinals are used to remove blood stasis,and blood-cooling medicinals are used to clear heat and stop bleeding.

Methods:Sixty-six patients with stable coronary heart disease of qi and yin deficiency type were selected and divided into the Guanxinping Tablet group(33 cases) and the conventional group(33 cases) by using the random number table method. Meanwhile,33 physical examination volunteers were selected as the blank control group. Patients in the conventional group received conventional western medicine treatment,while those in the Guanxinping Tablet group received comprehensive intervention with Guanxinping Tablets in addition to western medicine treatment. The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndrome scores of the two groups of patients before and after treatment were compared,and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Changes in conventional echocardiographic parameters were compared before and after treatment among the three groups. Meanwhile,two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging technology was applied to obtain the parameters of left ventricular torsional motion(left ventricle overall torsional degree and torsional rate,apical rotation degree and rotation rate,pericardial rotation degree and rotation rate). The left ventricular myocardial work parameters[global work index(GWI),global constructive work(GCW),global wasted work(GWW),and global work efficiency(GWE)] were measured by LVPSL technology. The left ventricular torsional motion parameters and left ventricular myocardial work parameters of each group of patients before and after treatment were compared. Results:After treatment,the symptom score of chest tightness in the conventional group was lower than that before treatment(P<0.01),while there was no statistically significant difference in the symptom scores of chest pain,palpitations,shortness of breath,dizziness,and insomnia with frequent dreams compared with those before treatment(P>0.05). After the treatment,the symptom scores of chest tightness,chest pain,palpitations,shortness of breath,dizziness,and insomnia with frequent dreams in the Guanxinping Tablet group were all lower than those before the treatment(P<0.01). Moreover,the scores of chest tightness,chest pain,palpitations,shortness of breath,dizziness,and insomnia with frequent dreams in the Guanxinping Tablet group were all lower than those in the conventional group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The total effective rate of the clinical efficacy in the conventional group was 73.33%,which was lower than 93.33% in the Guanxinping Tablet group. There was a statistically significant difference in the clinical efficacy between the two groups(P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the conventional echocardiographic detection indicators before and after treatment in each group(P>0.05). Before treatment,the overall torsion degree of the left ventricle,the overall torsion rate of the left ventricle,the pericardial rotation rate,and the apical rotation rate of patients in the conventional group and the Guanxinping Tablet group were all lower than those in the blank control group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the rotation degree of the pericardial and apical compared with the blank control group(P>0.05). After treatment,no statistically significant differences were observed in the overall torsion degree of the left ventricle,the overall torsion rate of the left ventricle,the pericardial rotation degree and rotation rate,and the apical rotation degree and rotation rate in the conventional group(P>0.05). After treatment,the overall torsion degree of the left ventricle,the overall torsion rate of the left ventricle,and the pericardical rotation rate in the Guanxinping Tablet group were all higher than those before treatment(P<0.05 or P<0.01). After treatment,the overall torsion degree of the left ventricle,the overall torsion rate of the left ventricle,and the pericardical rotation rate in the Guanxinping Tablet group were all higher than those in the conventional group(P<0.05). Before treatment,the abosolute value of GLS,GWI,GCW,and GWE of patients in the conventional group and the Guanxinping Tablet group were all lower than those in the blank control group,and the GWW was higher than that in the blank control group(P<0.05). After treatment,the abosolute value of GLS,GWI,and GWE in the conventional group were all increased compared with those before treatment,and GWW was decreased compared with that before treatment(P<0.05). After treatment,abosolute value of GLS,GWI,GCW,and GWE in the Guanxinping Tablet group were all increased compared with those before treatment,while GWW was decreased compared with that before treatment(P<0.01). After treatment,the abosolute value of GLS,GWI,GCW,and GWE in the Guanxinping Tablet group were higher than those in the conventional group,while the GWW was lower than that in the conventional group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The repeatability test showed that the within-observer and within-group correlation values of the left ventricular torsional motion parameters and myocardial work parameters all demonstrated excellent consistency. Conclusion: The combination of Guanxinping Tablet on the basis of conventional western medicine treatment can improve the clinical efficacy of patients with stable coronary heart disease of qi and yin deficiency type,and at the same time it can optimize the mechanical parameters of left ventricular torsion and the work efficiency of the myocardium.

  • Lü Ying's Experience in Treating Childhood with Autism Based on Theory of “Roper Fire Encouraging Qi and Excessive Fire Consuming Qi”

    ZHENG Xiaoyu;GONG Fengying;HUANG Guolin;LI Guanhong;LI Xiaoqian;XIAO Zijie;LI Jingjun;Lü Ying;School of Traditional Chinese Medicine,Southern Medical University;Department of Ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine,Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University;The Second Clinical Medical College,Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine;

    Childhood autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder. Professor Lü Ying believes that the overall pathogenesis of childhood autism is the insufficiency of primordial qi of the Kan hexagram in congenital endowment. In clinical practice,combining the theory of “roper fire encouraging qi and excessive fire consuming qi” in the treatment of childhood autism has achieved significant therapeutic effects. The proposal of “roper fire” reflects the vigorous vitality of human beings. The abundant primordial qi of the Shaoyin Kan hexagram,the gentle and orderly ascending of the wind-wood qi of Jueyin,and the normal operation of the Shaoyang main pivot all belong to the manifes-tations of “roper fire encouraging qi”. Due to the physiological characteristics of Yangming,it is prone to Yangming dysfunction,which in turn leads to the internal generation of heat and dryness pathogenic factors. Clinically,the manifestation of “excessive fire consuming qi” often occurs. Therefore,in clinical practice,adhering to the concept of“treating diseases from the root cause”,childhood autism is treated through methods such as applying earth to suppress fire,guiding fire back to its origin,restoring the gentle and orderly ascending of the wind-wood qi of Jueyin,enriching earth to support wood,and closing Yangming,with a prospect of providing new ideas for the clinical treatment of childhood autism. One test case is attached.

  • Test Cases of WENG Weiliang in Treating Rheumatic Heart Disease and Heart Failure

    LIU Mengyang;MAO Chaoyi;LI Qiuyan;WENG Weiliang;Xiyuan Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences;China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences;

    When rheumatic heart disease progresses to the stage of heart failure,Western medical treatment methods are limited and the difficulty is relatively high. Professor WENG Weiliang believes that heart failure caused by rheumatic heart disease falls within the category of “heart edema” diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. The core pathogenesis is qi(yang) deficiency,blood stasis and water retention. In clinical treatment,he emphasizes the flexible combination and application of various methods such as tonifying qi and promoting blood circulation,warming yang and promoting blood circulation,promoting diuresis and activating blood,nourishing yin and activating blood,clearing heat and activating blood,and dispelling wind and activating blood,with a clear and focused approach. This can not only alleviate clinical symptoms but also enhance cardiac function to a certain extent,thereby improving the quality of life. This article analyzes the detailed treatment process of Professor WENG's test cases of heart failure due to rheumatic heart disease,summarizes Professor WENG's diagnostic and therapeutic ideas and medication characteristics for this disease,in order to provide new ideas for the clinical treatment.

    Studies have shown that ferroptosis is closely related to neurovascular diseases and participates in the pathological process of vascular dementia through multiple mechanisms. Therefore,reasonable regulation of ferroptosis is helpful for the prevention and treatment of vascular dementia. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages such as multiple targets and few adverse reactions,and is widely used in the treatment of vascular dementia. This article analyzes the association between ferroptosis and vascular dementia by summarizing the three major mechanisms of ferroptosis:iron accumulation,lipid oxidation,and amino acid metabolism. Starting from the active ingredients and compound prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine,this paper further elaborates on the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine in treating vascular dementia by regulating the ferroptosis mechanism in recent years. It is found that various active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine and compound prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine can effectively block the progression of vascular dementia by regulating the ferroptosis mechanism. This paper systematically analyzes and summarizes the research on the regulation of ferroptosis by traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of vascular dementia,and examines the shortcomings of current research,aiming to provide new ideas and directions for the research on the regulation of ferroptosis by traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of vascular dementia.

    ZHANG Jing;YE Lan;Lü Yanfeng;Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine;Qilu Second Hospital of Shandong University;

    This article analyzes the molecular mechanism and clinical efficacy of Gegen Qinlian Decoction(葛根 芩 连 汤) in the treatment of damp-heat intestinal diseases from the perspective of treating different diseases with the same treatment. Studies have shown that Gegen Qinlian Decoction has a remarkable therapeutic effect on patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome,ulcerative colitis and colorectal cancer with damp-heat accumulation in the intestines through its single application,modified application with additions and subtractions or combination with Western medicine. Its mechanism of action involves multiple pathways,including regulating the intestinal flora,inhibiting opportunistic pathogenic bacteria and increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria;regulating the levels of inflammatory factors and related signaling pathways;regulating T-cell immune balance and repairing the intestinal mucosal barrier;reducing oxidative stress responses,etc. Clinically,it can effectively relieve and improve the discomfort symptoms of patients with damp-heat type intestinal diseases,and enhance their quality of life,with a prospect of providing a basis and ideas for the experimental research and clinical application of the prevention and treatment of damp-heat type intestinal diseases.
