Professor ZHOU Zhongying's Experience in Differentiating and Treating Hepatitis and Liver Cirrhosis from Deficiency and Excess / 中医杂志

This paper summarized Professor ZHOU Zhongying's experience in differentiating and treating hepatitis and liver cirrhosis from deficiency and excess. It is considered that the pathogenesis of hepatitis and liver cirrhosis belongs to deficiency in root and excess in branch， with depletion of liver， spleen and kidney as the root， and constraint and bind of damp-heat and stasis toxin as the branch. Moreover， mutual cause and promotion between deficiency and excess leads to the disease. For general principle of treatment， it is recommended to clear and transform pathogenic excess， supplement deficiency and rectify the healthy qi. In the early stage of hepatitis and cirrhosis， excess pathogen hyperactivity is the main manifestation， which can be treated by clearing and transforming damp-heat and stasis toxin， supplemented by regulating spleen and stomach， with modified Yinchenhao Decoction （茵陈蒿汤） and Biejiajian Pill （鳖甲煎丸）. In the middle and late stages， cases with deficiency-excess complex were more common， which should be treated by clearing damp-heat and stasis toxin， regulating and supplementing liver-spleen-kidney， using medicinals with the function of clearing heat and dispelling damp， dissolving stasis and resolving toxins to treat the branch. Moreover， Liujunzi Decoction （六君子汤）， Yiguan Decoction （一贯煎）plus Erzhi Pill （二至丸） and Buzhong Yiqi Decoction （补中益气汤） modifications are suggested respectively in correspondence to the different kinds of root deficiency including irregular liver and spleen， liver and kidney yin deficiency， and liver-spleen-kidney deficiency.

The analysis of polymorphism on PINK1 gene of exon 5 in 50 patients with Parkinson disease / 重庆医学

Objective To study polymorphism of phosphatase and tensinhomologue (PTEN)-induced kinase 1(PINK1) gene of exon 5 in Parkinson patients who located in Guangxi ,and its relationship with Parkinson disease (PD) .Methods PCR ,single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and sequencing analyze were conducted to analyze the PINK 1 gene′s exon 5 polymorphism in 28 cases of early-onset PD patients ,22 cases of late-onset PD patients(early-onset PD patients + late-onset PD patients = PD group) and 55 of control group .Results The intronic intervening sequence 5-5G-A (IVS5-5G-A ) polymorphism and G12164A polymer-phism which were located on PINK1 gene of exon 5 were chain relation .The G/A ,A /A genotype frequency was significantly higher in PD group (42 .0% ) than that in control group (23 .6% ) (χ2 = 4 .034 ,P= 0 .045) .The frequency was also significantly higher in late-onset PD patients (45 .5% )than that of 38 cases who were older than 50 years old in control group(21 .1% )(χ2 = 3 .951 ,P=0 .047) .There were no significant differences in alleles .Conclusion This research suggests that chain relation polymerphism at IVS5-5G-A and G12164A in PINK1 gene may be a susceptible factor for PD patients in Guangxi .
