1.An epidemiological survey on relativity between life events and anger in the worker colony: a cross-sectional study.
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2011;9(3):281-6
To study the relevant correlation of anger-out (expression of anger toward other persons or objects in the environment) or anger-in (holding in or suppression of angry feelings) with life events, so as to gain a better understanding of present-day social influences and assess which life events trigger anger. This study proposes the new hypothesis that "life events constitute originating factors of anger-triggered emotional action".

Hidden-pathogen theory is always a leading theory of febrile disease etiology from the proposal until the Ming Dynasty and it plays a critical guiding role on development and maturity of febrile disease theory. However, along with the change of times and drift of disease spectrum, this theory is facing unprecedented challenges. The gradually in-creased clinical experiences and facts have been difficult to be explained and induced using the already existed hidden-pathogen theory. Since hidden-pathogen theory has its own theoretical status and value, which cannot be lightly given up, the question of how to develop this theory in order to better reveal the pathogenesis in the guidance of diagnosis and treatment has become the focus of attention. This paper tried to proposeemotional hidden-pathogenas an example to provide a possible paradigm to develop hidden-pathogen theory and systematically expound main ideas and reasoning processes of emotional hidden-pathogen doctrine and to explore its theoretical significance and application value.

This study was aimed to reveal the roles of biological factors T3, T4 and TSH in the pathogenesis of liver-qi invasion syndrome and liver-qi depression syndrome of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in the body. Thus, we may expound the connotation of conceptpotential stagnation ofqi and blood. Female workers of Jinan and Qingdao were selected as target groups by epidemiological cross-sectional survey. And specially trained investigators were responsible for screening patients referred to criterion on the international diagnostic standards and syndrome diagnosis of PMS. Patients' blood was taken as samples during the follicular phase (6 to 14 days), luteal phase (15 to 23 days), premenstrual phase (24 to 28 days) and the menstrual phase (1 to 5 days), respectively. Blood samples were disposed according to requirements of radioimmunoassay. Single factor analysis of variance was used in the comparison with the level of T3, T4 and TSH in menstrual blood for different time intervals of the case group and the normal group by SPSS 10.0 statistical software. The results showed that T3 levels of patients with either syndrome were significantly reduced during the premenstrual phase and the menstrual phase (P < 0.05). There were no significant changes on the level of serum T4 and TSH before and after the occurrence of the disease. Both of them were significantly increased during each phase of the menstrual cycle. It was concluded that changes of T3, T4 and TSH were one of the mechanisms in disease with liver-qi invasion syndrome and liver-qi depression syndrome. The micro change was the essence ofpotential stagnation of qi and blood, which was the body condition of this disease.

Objective Aimed at the problem that there is no curative effect standard of liver-qi invasion of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), to construct the reference standard of curative effect evaluation for the liver-qi invasion of PMS. Method Curative effect evaluation research of Jingqianping granule was designed by the principle of random, double blind, contrast and multicentre. Three hundred and fifty-six patients with liver-qi invasion of PMS were divided into two groups randomly, one was Jingqianping granule, the other was placebo. Patients were given Jingqianping granule and placebo respectively for two menstrual cycles and followed–up for three menstrual cycles. The reference standard of curative effect evaluation for the liver-qi invasion of PMS was constructed with daily rating of severity of problems form (DRSP). Result Jingqianping granule and placebo have therapeutic effect on the patients with liver-qi invasion of PMS, and Jingqianping granule was better than placebo. DRSP can be used as indexes of curative effect evaluation. Conclusion The initial establishment of the curative effect evaluation criterion of PMS liver-qi invasion provides the important foundation for profession criterion’s establishment.
