There seems to be a contradiction among the symptoms of"non-thirst"and"thirst after oral use of the decoction"stated in original text 41 of Shang Han Lun(Treatise on Febrile Diseases)and the symptom of"probable thirst"stated in original text 40.In this article,the symptoms of thirst or non-thirst in the syndrome of Xiao Qinglong Decoction were expounded through the analysis of the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine about body fluid metabolism and the pathogenic mechanism of thirst,and by synthesizing the relevant articles recorded in Jin Gui Yao Lve(Synopsis of the Golden Chamber)and the understanding of the syndrome of Xiao Qinglong Decoction by later generations of practitioners.After that,the following views are put forward:non-thirst symptom is the primary sympton of the syndrome of Xiao Qinglong Decoction,which results from the disease;thirst after oral use of the decoction is due to drug-induced thirst,which can be classified into the category of physiological thirst;probable thirst symptom is related with fluid consumption by febrile disease,indicating that the disease involves yangming.The analysis of the symptoms of thirst or non-thirst in the syndrome of Xiao Qinglong Decoction is helpful for evaluation of therapeutic efficacy,and can also be used as the indications of modified medications and differential diagnosis of the disease.The exploration will provide references for the clinical use of Xiao Qinglong Decoction and will be beneficial to improving the clinical efficacy of Xiao Qinglong Decoction.

This paper summarized Professor HAN Mingxiang's clinical experience in treating insomnia in the elderly based on the theory of “deficiency leading to stasis”. It is believed that the core pathogenesis of insomnia in the elderly lies in the weakness of the zang-fu （脏腑） organs and the obstruction of the heart vessel. He advocates the basic treatment principles of supplementing deficiency and dispelling stasis， calming the heart and mind. For insomnia in the elderly with a pattern of heart-spleen deficiency， modified Buyang Huanwu Decoction （补阳还五汤） and Guipi Decoction （归脾汤） could be prescribed to tonify qi， nourish blood， and calm the heart and spirit. For pattern of liver-kidney yin deficiency， modified Qiju Dihuang Decoction （杞菊地黄汤） and Suanzaoren Decoction （酸枣仁汤） could be prescribed to nourish yin， clear heat， cool blood， and tranquilize mind. For pattern of kidney yang deficiency， modified Yougui Pill （右归丸） and Taohong Siwu Decoction （桃红四物汤） could be prescribed to warm yang， dispel cold， eliminate stagnation， and tranquilize the spirit. For pattern of phlegm-dampness stagnation， Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction （血府逐瘀汤） and Wendan Decoction （温胆汤） could be prescribed to resolve phlegm， dispel dampness， eliminate stagnation， and tranquilize the mind.

In order to provide a reference basis for the development of relevant compound preparations， this article takes a comprehensive analysis of the usage and dosage of famous classical formulas in Han dynasty from various perspectives， and gives corresponding countermeasures on this basis. Through the comprehensive analysis of the classification and statistics of Zhongjing's medication characteristics， decoction methods， administration and dosage， and combining conversion methods of weights and measures by ancient medical practitioners， along with the dosage and administration of the listed Han dynasty famous classical formulas， it was found that the "Jiangxi method" served as a general guideline for administration according to Zhongjing's original text. This method allowed for flexible dosing based on the conversion of the ancient measurements to modern equivalents［13.8 g per Liang（两）］， ensuring the safe and effective medication of these formulas. After combing， it is found that although the dosage of single medicine is large in famous classical formulas from Han dynasty， the administration is flexible. The crude drug amount per administration serves as the foundational dose， with the frequency of administration adjusted flexibly according to the condition. This dosing approach becomes the key for the rational development of compound formulations of famous classical formulas. Based on the conclusions of the study， it is recommended that when developing compound formulations of famous classical formulas in Han dynasty， the original administration method and dosage should be respected. The original crude drug amount per administration should be considered as the daily foundational dose， with the frequency of administration described within a range（1 to N times per day， where N is the maximum number of administrations as per the original text）. The specific frequency of administration can be adjusted flexibly by clinical practitioners based on the individual condition. This approach should also be adopted in toxicological studies， where the dosage per administration serves as the basis for toxicity research， and the toxicity profile at the maximum administration frequency should be observed， providing guidance on the clinical safety range. Corresponding drug labels should provide information within a range to indicate toxicological risk intervals.

Professor HAN Wei 's clinical experience of acupuncture and moxibustion with Tongyang Xingshen (promoting yang and regaining consciousness) for adolescent depressive disorder is introduced. It is believed that the internal causes of adolescent depressive disorder are mostly emotional and physical factors, while the external causes are mainly social factors, and yang-qi stagnation and emotional disorder are the key pathogenesis. The key of acupuncture and moxibustion with Tongyang Xingshen is warming and regulating the governor vessel. The governor vessel acupoints at head, neck and back are selected. At head, Baihui (GV 20) and Yintang (GV 24+) are selected; at neck, Fengfu (GV 16) and Dazhui (GV 14) are selected; at back, Taodao (GV 13), Shenzhu (GV 12), Shendao (GV 11), Zhiyang (GV 9) and Jinsuo (GV 8) are selected. The combination of disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation should be highly valued, and the moxibustion with Tongyang and acupuncture with Xingshen should be used simultaneously, and the strong stimulation is suggested.

Xiao Chaihu Decoction combined with Maxing Shigan Decoction is a classic herbal formula. All of them are derived from Treatise on Cold Damage(Shang Han Lun) by ZHANG Zhong-jing. This combination has the effects of harmonizing lesser yang, relieving exterior syndrome, clearing lung heat, and relieving panting. It is mainly used for treating the disease involving the triple-Yang combination of diseases and accumulation of pathogenic heat in the lung. Xiao Chaihu Decoction combined with Maxing Shigan Decoction is a classic combination for the treatment of exogenous diseases involving the triple-Yang combination. They are commonly used in exogenous diseases, especially in the north of China. This combination is also the main treatment strategy for coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) accompanied by fever and cough. Maxing Shigan Decoction is a classical herbal formula for treating the syndrome of phlegm-heat obstructing the lung. "Dyspnea after sweating" suggests the accumulation of pathogenic heat in the lung. Patients with mild symptoms may develop cough and asthma along with forehead sweating, and those in critical severe may develop whole-body sweating, especially the front chest. Modern medicine believes that the above situation is related to lung infection. "Mild fever" refers to syndromes rather than pathogenesis. It does not mean that the heat syndrome is not heavy, instead, it suggests that severe heat and inflammation have occurred. The indications of Xiao Chaihu Decoction combined with Maxing Shigan Decoction are as follows.(1) In terms of diseases, it is suitable for the treatment of viral pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, lobar pneumonia, mycoplasma pneumonia, COVID-19 infection, measles with pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS), avian influenza, H1N1 influenza, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute exacerbation, pertussis, and other influenza and pneumonia.(2) In terms of syndromes, it can be used for the syndromes of bitter mouth, dry pharynx, vertigo, loss of appetite, vexation, vomiting, and fullness and discomfort in the chest and hypochondrium. It can also be used to treat alternate attacks of chill and fever and different degrees of fever, as well as chest tightness, cough, asthma, expectoration, dry mouth, wanting cold drinks, feeling agitated, sweating, yellow urine, dry stool, red tongue, yellow or white fur, and floating, smooth, and powerful pulse, especially the right wrist pulse.

The paper presents professor WU Han-qing's experience in treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) with "sinew-bone three needling technique" of Chinese medicine. Based on the theory of meridian sinew, the points are located by "three-pass method" in terms of the distribution of meridian sinew and syndrome/pattern differentiation. The cord-like muscles and adhesion are relieved by relaxing technique to work directly on the affected sites and alleviate the local compression to the nerve root. The needle technique is operated flexibly according to the affected regions involved, due to which, the needling sensation is increased while the safety ensured. As a result, the meridian qi is enhanced, the mind and qi circulation is regulated; and the clinical effect is improved.

Wumei Pill is a classic insect repellent prescription, which is used for ascaris lumbricoides and diarrhea. It is considered to be a representative prescription for the treatment of simultaneous occurrence of cold and heat syndromes. Its prescription is mainly composed of sour drugs ( Mume Fructus and bitter wine) and pungent drugs ( Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparataaconite, Cinnamomi Ramulus, Sichuan pepper, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Zingiberis Rhizoma, and Asari Radix et Rhizoma), supplemented by bitter drugs ( Coptidis Rhizoma and Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex) and sweet drugs ( Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma and honey). From the point of view of "Tang-Ye-Jing-Fa Map", the role of liver is to disperse, whose deficiency leads to limb syncope, and excess leads to the full of hypochondrium and abdominal pain. The pungent herbs can tonify the liver-deficiency, the sour herbs can dispel the liver-excess, and sweet herbs can relive them both. The role of spleen is to moderate, whose deficiency leads to fatigue and weakness, and excess leads to the vomiting and diarrhea. The sweet herbs can tonify the spleen-deficiency, the pungent herbs can dispel the spleen-excess, and bitter herbs can relive them both. Therefore, the function of Wumei Pills is located in the liver and spleen, giving consideration to the heart and lung. It is used for the deficiency and excess mixed syndrome of liver and spleen, which is mainly characterized by chest and flank abdominal pain, limb chills, diarrhea, muscle and pulse contracture and the symptoms of the parts along the liver meridian. It is commonly used in the treatment of ascaris, diarrhea, impotence, depression. At the same time, it can also be used for the treatment of diseases about heart and lung, and cough, anxiety and other diseases.

A case of pituicytoma was observed in a Han-Wistar rat from the control group of a 2-year carcinogenicity study. No obvious abnormality were found in clinical observation and necropsy. Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining results showed that nodular hyperplasia in the pars nervosa of the pituitary, which was well demarcated and compressed the adjacent normal tissue. The tumor cells were similar to the glial cells with round or oval nuclei, cytoplasm rich in eosinophilic or vacuole. The tumor cells differentiated well, with no obvious cell pleomorphism and visible mitotic figures. Some tumor cells were arranged in a pseudorosette formation. Immunohistochemical staining (IHC) analysis confirmed positive expression of Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and S-100 protein. The tumor was diagnosed as the spontaneous benign pituicytoma combining the HE and IHC staining results.

Chinese medicine entered a significant period from foundation to maturity between Han and Tang dynasties when the Chinese traditional stomatology was a key stage. Sorting and analysis of existing literature and research outcomes have showed that current research on stomatology between Han and Tang dynasties focuses on oral physiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment, and health care. It also involves stomatology history and explanation of termino-logies related to mouth and teeth recorded in medical books, use of simple methods, and thinking with citation and analysis of literature simply listed and reasoning preliminarily deducted. From the macro perspective, current research has not unveiled the whole picture of stomatology between the two dynasties and left a series of key issues unresolved. Thus, new methods should be developed and employed to carry out medical research on stomatology between Han and Tang dynasties given that is has a prosperous future.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar como a obra de Byung-Chul Han vem sendo apropriada pelo campo da Saúde no Brasil, especialmente pelo campo da Saúde Coletiva. São discussões científicas e acadêmicas com temas importantes para a Saúde Coletiva e que estão sendo publicadas pelo campo ou fora dele que são investigadas nesta dissertação. Aqui procuramos saber em quais temas em saúde o pensamento do filósofo sul-coreano tem sido solicitado, quais conceitos do autor estão sendo utilizados e quais livros de Han estão sendo lidos. Para tanto, esta dissertação está dividida em duas partes: a primeira, presente no capítulo 1, tem como principal preocupação apresentar Byung-Chul Han. Assim, o texto passa por sua trajetória, sua popularidade no Brasil e no mundo, livros publicados, conceitos e temas presentes em sua obra, intelectuais e ideias com as quais o filósofo dialoga e algumas insinuações acerca de temas que aproximam o autor com o campo da Saúde Coletiva. A segunda parte expõe um levantamento bibliográfico realizado em portais e plataformas na internet em busca de artigos com temas que integram o campo da Saúde Coletiva e que fazem algum uso da filosofia de Han, para poder analisar de que forma os livros e conceitos deste autor estão sendo absorvidos em discussões sobre saúde, no Brasil. Após a exposição e análise do material levantado, este trabalho chega na conclusão de que, muito embora haja aproximações entre a filosofia de Han e o campo da Saúde Coletiva e uma produção profícua de artigos sobre questões relacionadas ao campo que fazem algum tipo de uso do pensamento do autor, essas discussões ainda não alcançaram os periódicos exclusivos da Saúde Coletiva no Brasil. Este trabalho se encerra com propostas de contribuições para alguns temas aproximam o pensamento de Han e o campo da Saúde Coletiva. Tendo em vista que esta dissertação envolve busca, exposição e análise de um determinado conjunto específico de material, que não se restringe apenas a artigos publicados em periódicos científicos, mas também dos próprios livros e conceitos nucleares da filosofia de Byung-Chul Han, é possível considerar que esta pesquisa se caracteriza como uma revisão de literatura com um caráter narrativo.

This work aims to analyze how the work of Byung-Chul Han has been appropriated by the field of Health in Brazil, especially by the field of Collective Health. These are scientific and academic discussions with important themes for Collective Health and that are being published by the field or outside it that are investigated in this dissertation. Here we seek to find out in which health topics the South Korean philosopher's thought has been solicited, which of the author's concepts are being used, and which of Han's books are being read. To this end, this dissertation is divided into two parts: the first, present in chapter 1, is mainly concerned with introducing Byung-Chul Han. Thus, the text goes through his trajectory, his popularity in Brazil and in the world, published books, concepts and themes present in his work, intellectuals and ideas with which the philosopher dialogues, and some insinuations about themes that bring the author closer to the field of Collective Health. The second part exposes a bibliographical survey carried out in Internet portals and platforms in search of articles with themes that integrate the field of Collective Health and that make some use of Han's philosophy, in order to analyze how this author's books and concepts are being absorbed in discussions about health in Brazil. After the exhibition and analysis of the material surveyed, this paper comes to the conclusion that, although there is an approximation between Han's philosophy and the field of Collective Health and a fruitful production of articles on issues related to the field that make some use of the author's thought, these discussions have not yet reached the exclusive periodicals of Collective Health in Brazil. This work ends with proposals of contributions to some themes that bring Han's thought and the field of Collective Health closer together. Considering that this dissertation involves searching, exposing and analyzing a specific set of material, which is not restricted only to articles published in scientific journals, but also the very books and core concepts of Byung-Chul Han's philosophy, it is possible to consider that this research is characterized as a literature review with a narrative character.

Due to the virtues of no stutter peaks, low rates of mutation, and short amplicon sizes, insertion/deletion (InDel) polymorphism is an indispensable tool for analyzing degraded DNA samples from crime scenes for human identifications (Wang et al., 2021). Herein, a self-developed panel of 43 InDel loci constructed previously by our group was utilized to evaluate the genetic diversities and explore the genetic background of the Han Chinese from Beijing (HCB) including 301 random healthy individuals. The lengths of amplicons at 43 InDel loci in this panel ranged from 87 to 199 bp, which indicated that the panel could be used as an effective tool to utilize highly degraded DNA samples for human identity testing. The loci in this panel were validated and performed well for forensic degraded DNA samples (Jin et al., 2021). The combined discrimination power (PD) and combined probability of exclusion (PE) values in this panel indicated that the 43 InDel loci could be used as the candidate markers in personal identification and parentage testing of HCB. In addition, population genetic relationships between the HCB and 26 reference populations from five continents based on 19 overlapped InDel loci were displayed by constructing a phylogenetic tree, principal component analysis (PCA), and population genetic structure analysis. The results illustrated that the HCB had closer genetic relationships with the Han populations from Chinese different regions.

Objective:To explore the carrier status of group B streptococci (GBS) in pregnant women of Mongolian and Han nationality and the neonatal GBS infection in order to identify the high risk factors of GBS infection in Mongolian and Han newborns in this area.Methods:Totally 7289 pregnant women and their newborns born alive were tested for GBS in the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from June 2017 to June 2020, and their newborns were cultured for GBS, and the venous blood of newborns delivered by GBS positive women were detected for anti-GBS capsular polysaccharide antibody level, in order to determine the high risk factors of neonatal GBS infection.Results:Among the 7289 pregnant women, 3136 were Mongolian pregnant women (2599 full-term delivery and 537 premature delivery) and 4153 were Han pregnant women (3541 full-term delivery and 612 premature delivery). The results of GBS test showed that the GBS carrier rate was 8.19% in the Mongolian preterm delivery group, 4.35% in the Mongolian term group, 11.93% in the Han preterm group, and 5.76% in the Han term group, indicating that the carrier rate of GBS in the preterm group was significantly higher than that in the term group, regardless of Mongolian and Han nationality ( P < 0.05). Further comparing the GBS carrier rate of Mongolian and Han pregnant women, the GBS carrier rate of Mongolian pregnant women was significantly lower than that of Han pregnant women regardless of the premature delivery group and term group ( P < 0.05). (2) A total of 434 newborns were born by GBS positive parturients. The positive rates of GBS in Mongolian premature infants, Mongolian full-term infants, Han premature infants and Han full-term infants were 29.55%, 14.16%, 31.51% and 17.65%, respectively, suggesting that the positive rate of GBS in premature infants was significantly higher than that in full-term infants, regardless of Mongolian and Han nationality ( P<0.05). Further comparing the positive rate of GBS in Mongolian and Han newborns, there was no significant difference in the positive rate of GBS between Mongolian newborns and Han newborns, no matter the premature delivery group and the full-term group. (3) This study compared the incidence of early-onset GBS septicemia in Mongolian and Han newborns. The results showed that the incidence of early-onset GBS septicemia in Mongolian premature infants was 23.08%, and none in full-term infants. The incidence of early-onset GBS septicemia in Han premature infants was 26.09%. The incidence of early-onset GBS septicemia in term infants was 5.56%. The incidence of neonatal GBS septicemia in the preterm group was significantly higher than that in the term group, regardless of Mongolian and Han nationality. By further comparing the incidence of GBS septicemia in Mongolian and Han newborns, there was no significant difference in the positive rate of GBS between Mongolian newborns and Han newborns regardless of the premature delivery group and the term group. (4) In both Mongolian and Han nationality, the level of anti-GBS capsular polysaccharide antibody in premature infants was significantly lower than that in term infants ( P < 0.05). (5) Regardless of the Mongolian and Han nationality, compared with GBS negative group, GBS positive rate was higher in pregnant women aged≥35 years old, with history of menstruation, miscarriage, vaginitis, floating population, and those who had not undergone pre-pregnancy examination,,which were the high risk factors for GBS-positive pregnant women during pregnancy. (6) In both Mongolian and Han nationality, the incidence of chorioamnionitis, puerperal infection, premature delivery and premature rupture of membranes in the GBS positive group was higher than that in the GBS negative group, and the incidence of fetal distress and neonatal asphyxia in the GBS positive group was also higher than that in the GBS negative group. Conclusions:The carrier rate of GBS in Mongolian pregnant women is lower than that in Han pregnant women, and positive GBS during pregnancy will increase the incidence of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes such as chorioamnionitis, puerperal infection, premature delivery, premature rupture of membranes, fetal distress, neonatal asphyxia and neonatal early-onset GBS septicemia. The high risk factors are maternal age ≥ 35 years old, history of menstruation, abortion, vaginitis, floating population, and infection without pre-pregnancy examination. We should attach great importance to the perinatal high risk factors and formulate corresponding intervention measures accordingly, and make rational use of antibiotics for prenatal prevention, so as to further reduce the incidence of early-onset GBS septicemia in newborns.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the expression level of circular RNA_0005414 and islet cell function in type 2 diabetes patients.Methods:A total of 110 patients with type 2 diabetes and 106 cases of normal glucose tolerance (control group) in Uygur populations, 64 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus and 63 cases of normal glucose tolerance (control group) in Han populations were enrolled in the study. All subjects underwent oral glucose tolerance test chemistry panel. Homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and β cell function (HOMA-β) were evaluated by homeostasis model as islet cell function indexes. The differentially expressed circular RNAs were screened using RNA sequencing from the peripheral blood monocytes of 5 Uygur patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and matched controls. The expression level of a significantly up-regulated circular RNA_0005414 was detected and verified, and the relationship between the expression level of circular RNA_0005414 and islet cell function was analyzed.Results:Differential expression profiles of circular RNAs were found in Uygur type 2 diabetic patients . The expression level of circular RNA_0005414 in Uygur type 2 diabetic group was higher than that in Uygur control group ( P<0.01), the expression level of circular RNA_0005414 in Han type 2 diabetic group was higher than that in Han control group ( P<0.01), the expression level of circular RNA_0005414 in Uygur type 2 diabetes group was higher than that in Han type 2 diabetes group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). In the Uyghur and Han groups, Spearman correlation analysis showed that the expression level of circular RNA_0005414 was positively correlated with fasting blood glucose, 2 h plasma glucose after glucose loading, HbA 1C, total cholesterol, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR ( P<0.05) and negatively correlated with HOMA-β ( P<0.01). Partial correlation analysis showed that circular RNA_0005414 expression level was positively correlated with fasting blood glucose, HbA 1C, and HOMA-IR ( P<0.01). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that circular RNA_0005414 was the only factor affecting HOMA-β in Uygur patients with type 2 diabetes. Conclusion:The expression level of circular RNA_0005414 was closely related to islet cell function in Uygur type 2 diabetes patients, the up-regulation of circular RNA_0005414 may be involved in the occurrence and development of type 2 diabetes in Uygur.
