Though the clinical observation of 413 cases of epidemic hemorrhagic fever(EHF) by clinical epidemiological method,we have concluded that the main TCM etiological factors of EHF are damp,toxic heat,blood stasis and deficiency, and the determinant pathogenesis of EHF is the integration of interior and exterior pathogenic factors;the syndrome characteristic of EHF is that the cold,heat,deficiency and excess were intermingled,and the moist heat blood stasis syndrome should be given priority to;its major pathological location is initial YANG and triple warmer;so the therapeutic principle should be the integration of cold-warm syndrome and exterior and interior and paying attention to smoothing the triple warmer all the time.

This article presents the discussion on the etiological factors and pathogenesis of chloasma.On the basis of clinical experience and related literature from every dynasty,the author concludes that the causes and pathogenesis of chloasma can be summarized into 8 aspects: 1.Menoxenia,lesion of uterus and cunnus,tumors in pelvic cavity in women;excessive heat and deficiency of kidney essence in men.2.Damages in Chong-Ren meridians,e.g.infection of pathogen which goes directly into Chong-Ren;exhaustion of essence blood;coldness,phlegm or blood clot congests within the Chong-ren meridians.3.Stasis of liver-qi induced by insufficiency of blood storage and dysfunction in conveyance and dispersion.4.Shortage of essence blood.5.Lack of kidney-yang.6.Disharmony between spleen and stomach,including deficiency of spleen-stomach qi,spleen-stomach yang,and stomach yin,and surplus of stomach heat.7.Flooding of turbidness and heat,like moisture and heat in liver-gallbladder and in spleen-stomach.8.Invaded by exogenous pathogen of wind and sunlight.Knowing these points has great significance on directing therapy according to syndrome differentiation.

Objective:To observe the clinical curative e ect of treating diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome(D-IBS) with Lichang Tang(Intestine-Regulating Decoction) and sertraline hydrochloride.Methods:72 patients with(D-IBS) was randomly divided into 2 groups:32 cases in the treatment group was given self-prescribed Lichang Tang(modi ed Tongxie Yaofang [Main recipe for painful diarrhea]+Jinlingzi San [Toosendan Powder]) and sertraline hydrochloride(50 mg,p.o.once in the early morning);35 cases in the control group were given Lichang Tang alone for oral administration.During administering these drugs,other drugs were discontinued in the 2 groups.Psychological counseling and dietary modi cation were used in all patients.The course of treatment lasted for 4 weeks.Results:The total e ective rates in the treatment group and the control group were 86.49% and 65.71% respectively,and there was signi cant di erence(P

Objective:To establish a method for determination of total flavonoids,eriodictyol-7-methylether and isosakuranetin in Artemisia halodendron seeds.Method:The content of total flavonoids was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry at 506 nm,and compared with eriodictyol-7-methylether as a reference substance;the content of eriodictyol-7-methylether and isosakuranetin was determined by RP-HPLC,the analytical column was YMC-Pack ODS-A column(5?m,4.6 mm?250 mm),the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.2% phosphoric acid aqueous(35:65) at a ow rate of 1.0 ml?min-1,and the detection wavelength was 288 nm.Results:The linear range of total avonoids was 0.1228--0.7368mg(r=0.9991) and the average recovery(n=6) was 100.5%(RSD=1.41%);the linear ranges of eriodictyol-7-methylether and isosakuranetin were 3.016--30.16?g/ml(r=0.9999)and 3.304--33.04?g/ml(r=0.9999),respectively;the average recoveries(n=6) were 98.9%(RSD=1.20%)and 96.8%(RSD=1.38%),respectively.Conclusion:The methods of UV and HPLC are simple,accurate with good reproducibility and suitable for determination of total avonoids,eriodictyol-7-methylether and isosakuranetin.
