The movement of wei qi (defensive qi) follows the circadian rhythm of "circulating on the yang during the day, and on the yin at night" and serves a defensive function to "protect the body". Guided by the theory of wei qi, it is believed that time rhythms and the immune system play significant roles in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC). Dysfunction in wei qi circulation, particularly when "yang fails to enter yin," can lead to the onset of UC; the cyclical nature of wei qi's movement results in disease patterns characterized by "morning relief, daytime stability, evening aggravation, and nighttime worsening", which align with the rhythmic characteristics of immune responses. The defensive function of wei qi is crucial in maintaining intestinal immunity of patients with UC, and the spleen and stomach, which are the sources of wei qi, are key to sustaining intestinal mucosal immune homeostasis; additionally, obstruction in the ascending and descending movements of wei qi, internal disruption, and latent pathogen in the intestines lead to the development of UC. Based on the theory of wei qi, treatment approaches for UC are proposed, including time-based dietary adjustments and chronotherapy to harmonize human activities with natural rhythms; these approaches emphasize protecting the spleen and stomach while also considering the lungs and kidneys, balancing sanjiao, and harmonizing ying qi and wei qi, so as to improve the clinical effectiveness of UC treatment.

Objective:To study the willingness of the medical staff of tertiary hospitals to be dispatched to work for a long time at the district hospitals under the " municipal trusteeship of district-ownership hospitals" mode, and explore the key factors that affect their long-term willingness, for references of optimizing the incentive system of the model.Methods:A questionnaire was designed as guided by the two-factor theory. In May 2019, a typical sample survey was made to investigate 103 medical staff of two tertiary hospitals in Beijing on their willingness to be dispatched to hospitals of district ownership. The survey covered such aspects as their basic personal information, hygiene factors(family responsibility, interpersonal connections expansion, mobilization and encouragement of leaders, etc.), and incentive factors(personal career development, greater potential giving play to their own talents, self-achievement, etc.). Descriptive analysis and univariate hypothesis testing were used to compare the differences of the dispatch willingness of staff of different characteristics. Meanwhile, an ordinal multinomial logistic regression model was built to analyze the influence factors of long-term dispatch willingness of these staff along with individual in-depth interviews.Results:The medical staff when they were dispatched to work at the entrusted hospitals for a long time, were concerned mostly with top six factors. These factors refered to a reasonable incentive(rewards)mechanism, family responsibility, colleague evaluation of the entrusted hospital, interpersonal connections expansion, personal career development, and potential unlocking. Those staff with dispatch experience had higher willingness to be dispatched than those without( P <0.05). The former saw higher of their personal career development resulting from the dispatch(3.91 points), while the latter saw higher their post-dispatch salary incentive mechanism(3.95 points). Compared with common medical staff, medium and high level management staff were more willing to be dispatched for a long time( H=14.536, P<0.001). Leadership mobilization in hygiene factors and personal career development in incentives factors were the key drivers for the long-term willingness of medical staff to be dispatched( P<0.05). Conclusions:The willingness of medical staff to be dispatched for a long time needs to be strengthened in the " municipal trusteeship of district-ownership hospitals" mode. Managers of the district-ownership hospitals should take into full consideration, the needs of different categories and levels of medical staff dispatched, guarantee the remuneration and performance pay of these staff, and enable their career track planning, hence mobilizing their incentives, and increase their willingness to work at such hospitals for a long time.

Lung cancer has the highest incidence and mortality rate among all cancers in China, with its complex and variable nature, long treatment duration, and often poor prognosis. Currently, the treatment of lung cancer mainly employs classical therapies such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, but some patients may experience a series of adverse reactions, which affect their quality of life, survival period, and treatment outcomes. As reported, oxidative stress is one of the important pathogenic factors of lung cancer, affecting its occurrence and development. Oxidative stress is a state of imbalance between oxidative products and antioxidant defense mechanisms in the body. The intervention of oxidative stress in the occurrence and development of lung cancer is related to multiple signaling pathways, including the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)-nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Currently, researchers in China and abroad have conducted extensive studies on the occurrence and development of lung cancer and the pathophysiological mechanisms of drug intervention. The results have shown that oxidative stress plays an important role in the occurrence and development of lung cancer. Chinese medicine monomers and compounds can regulate oxidative stress levels and intervene in related signaling pathways, thereby inhibiting or delaying the occurrence and development of lung cancer. Based on this, this article mainly summarized the relevant signaling pathways regulating oxidative stress intervention in lung cancer in recent years, and also reviewed the latest research on Chinese medicine monomers and compounds in regulating oxidative stress to treat lung cancer, aiming to provide new ideas for research on drug treatment of lung cancer and clinical drug development, as well as to provide references and guidance for further in-depth mechanistic studies in the future.

To summarize Professor TU Jinwen's clinical experience in the treatment of severe influenza based on the “heat toxin theory”. He believed that “heat toxin” is the main disease mechanism of severe influenza, emphasized the pathogenesis process that toxin enters with the pathogenic qi, heat generates by the toxin, and changes initiate from the toxin, and proposed simultaneous treatment of warmth and toxin and combination of multiple methods as the treatment principles. Syndrome differentiation in clinic should combine with wei-qi-ying-blood. The disease in the early stage located in wei (defensive) and qi level, treated by clearing heat and resolving toxins, releasing the exterior and expelling pathogen, harmonizing the exterior and interior, dredging the bowels with diarrhea, and combining other methods to get rid of the heat and toxin, and modified Self-Prescribed Tuire No. 1 Formula (自拟退热1号方) is recommended; the disease in progression stage located in ying-blood, treated by relieving heat and resolving toxins, and clearing the ying level and cool the blood, with prescriptions as modified Self-Prescribed Tuire No. 1 Formula plus Qingying Decoction (清营汤), or Xijiao Dihuang Decoction (犀角地黄汤); the disease in the late stage with of yin fluid consumption, and heat toxin in the blood level, treated by eliminating heat and resolving toxins, and enriching yin and cooling the blood, with prescriptions as modified Shashen Maidong Decoction (沙参麦冬汤) and Zhuye Shigao Decoction (竹叶石膏汤). At the same time, it is emphasised that heat-clearing and fire-draining method and harmonising methods are important, and that dispelling pathogen should not injure healthy qi, and that the selection of prescriptions and medicines need consider syndrome differentiation and treatment.
