Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2014;(1):36-39
[Objective] Discussion on academic ideas and clinical experience of Professor Fu Ping in treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome. [Methods] From the etiology and pathogenesis, therapeutic principle and therapy to expound the academic viewpoints and clinical experience of Professor Fu Ping in treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome, the prescription and Chinese medicine conditioning characteristics are summarized, and exemplify that. [Results] Professor Fu Ping believes that the pathogenesis of this disease is a virtual reality, such as phlegm and blood stasis;according to the etiology and pathogene-sis, strengthening the body resistance to eliminate pathogenic factors, coordinating Chong and Conception Vessels is the main rule; dissipating phlegm and removing dampness, warming the kidney and strengthening the spleen, nourishing liver kidney, regulating qi and activating blood is the clinical common therapy, clinical y obtaining better therapeutic effect. [Conclusion] The clinical experience of Professor Fu Ping in treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome is effective, has the value of popularization and application.
2.Effect of Pi transportation, dampness resolving and phlegm expelling herbs on the obesity degree, fat hormones, and leptin resistance in diet-induced obesity rats.
Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2014;34(8):997-1002
OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Pi transportation, dampness resolving and phlegm expelling herbs (PTDRPEH) on the obesity degree, fat hormones, and leptin resistance in diet-induced obesity (DIO) rats.
METHODSAmong the 120 Wister rats, 10 were recruited as the blank control group (fed with basal forage), and the remaining 110 were administered with high-fat high-nutrition forage for 17 weeks. According to weight, we obtained 40 DIO rats and 10 diet-induced obesity resistance (DIO-R) rats. DIO rats were further divided into four groups, i.e., the DIO model group (normal saline, at the daily dose of 2 mL), the sibutramine group (at the daily dose of 1.6 mg/kg), the dampness resolving and phlegm expelling group (DRPE, at the daily dose of 3.2 g/kg), and the Pi transportation group (PT, at the daily dose of 3.2 g/kg). All were given by gastrogavage. Normal saline (2 mL) was given by gastrogavage to rats in the blank control group and the DIO-R group. The basal forage was administered to rats in the blank control group, while high fat forage was continually given to rats in the remaining five groups. Their body weights and body lengths were measured after 16 weeks of gastrogavage. All intra-abdominal fat was taken out to measure the degree of obesity and fat contents. Insulin resistance index (IRI), blood glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, leptin, neuropeptide Y (NPY), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and adiponectin were detected after blood withdrawing. Leptin, TNF-alpha, adiponectin, suppressors of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS-3), and other relevant adipose hormones and inflammatory cytokines were examined in the fat homogenate.
RESULTSCompared with the blank control group, DIO model rats' body weight, body mass index (BMI), fat factor, IRI, serum leptin, TNF-alpha, and SOCS-3 significantly increased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); serum NPY, serum leptin, and adiponectin decreased (P < 0.05). Leptin increased and NPY decreased in DIO-R model rats. Compared with the DIO group, DIO-R model rats' body weight, BMI, fat factor, IRI, serum NPY, TNF-alpha, and SOCS-3 all decreased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); leptin and adiponectin in serum and the fat homogenate all increased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). After intervention with Sibutramine, rats' body weight, BMI, fat factor, and TNF-alpha in the fat homogenate obviously decreased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Serum TNF-alpha decreased, leptin and adiponectin increased in rats of the DRPE group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). BMI, fat factor, IRI, leptin, and SOCS-3 showed a decreasing tendency, but with no statistical difference (P > 0.05). The body weight, BMI, fat factor, IRI, TNF-alpha, and SOCS-3 all decreased in the PT group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); leptin and adiponectin in the serum and the fat homogenate increased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSSibutramine could reduce body weight and TNF-alpha in the adipose tissue. Herbs of PT could inhibit fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance (IR), with superior effect to herbs of DRPE. Its mechanism might be closely related to promoting leptin and adiponectin secreted by fat, reducing leptin resistance, and elevating serum levels of leptin and adiponectin.

3.Analysis on Composing Principles of Prescriptions for Lijie Disease Based on The Prescription of Traditional Chinese Medicine Dictionary
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2015;(4):41-43
Objective To analyze the composing principles of the prescriptions for Lijie disease by using The Prescription of Traditional Chinese Medicine Dictionary. Methods The prescriptions for Lijie disease in the book of The Prescription of Traditional Chinese Medicine Dictionary were collected. Database was established by using TCM Inheritance Support System (V1.1). Medicine using frequency, composing principles, and composition of new medicine were analyzed through association rules and entropy clustering method. Results Based on the analysis on 187 cases of prescriptions, 42 Chinese herbal medicines were with the frequency of 42 times and Angelicae Sinensis Radix was the core herbal medicine. 69 core combinations with three to four herbal medicines and 6 new prescriptions were obtained through evolution. Conclusion According to the analysis of composing principles and clustering new prescriptions of Lijie disease, the treatment for Lijie disease is toning liver and spleen, and nourishing liver and kidney.

7.Chronic sublethal hypoxia: challenge to premature brain in structual and neurological development
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(1):84-87
With the advance of modern neonatal management, the increase of survival of infants born with ELBW has resulted in collateral increase in incidence of infants with serious chronic lung disease, typically brnchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Long-term sensory, motor and cognitive impairments are common outcomes in survivals with moderate and severe BPD and may persist during school years and adolescence. Increasing evidence suggest that BPD exerts a significant effect on brain growth and development and may be associated with chronic sublethal hypoxia which compond the risk of extended brain injury and NS complications such as cerebral palsy. Animal studies have demonstrated progressive gliosis and cerebral ventriculomegaly, injured subcortical white matter and corpus callosum, dysynchrony synaptic development and disrupted neurotransmitssion in the hypoxia newborn brain. In this literature we built upon the review of neurogical and congnitive outcome in preterm infants with BPD and structural, functional and neurochemical alterations in ainimals following clinical and experimental hypoxia respectively, which may underlie the primary or potential mle for chronic sublethal hypoxia on premature brain development.
10.Clinical observation on obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome cases in snoring children
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2010;(3):111-113
Objective:To explore the necessity of monitoring polysomnography (PSG ) in snoring children.Method:The PSG were monitored in 162 children with snoring or apnea.Acording to results of PSG,162 cases were separated into two groups:group obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) and group primary snoring(PS),monitoring data including:apnea hypopnea index(AHI),snoring index(SI),lowest oxygen saturation(LSaO_2) and time of SaO_2<0.9,all data were undertaked statistical analysis. Result:In all 162 snoring cases,150 cases(92.6%) belong to group OSAHS,12 cases(7.4%) belong to group PS;Differences of data of age,sex and body mass index(BMI) are not significant but that of AHI,SI,LSaO_2 and time of SaO_2<0.9 are significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:It's necessary to monitor PSG in snoring children for early diagnosis and correct treatment to avoid disadvantage of OSAHS.
