Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2017;41(2):117-119
[Objective] To guide the health preservation more scientifically and effectively through discussing relationship between natural timing and spirit-regulating, and studying the influence of lifecycle and time sequence regularity on the spirit-regulating. [Methods] The relationship of body and spirit, time property of the spirit, time sequence regularity and those lifecycle were adopted to analyse the theoretical basis and specific measures on regulating spirit based on time differentiation. [Results] Body as well as the spirit would be followed by the changes of the time sequence regularity, also at different stages of human body, the spirit changed with it accordingly. [Conclusion] TCM holds that body and spirit are unified, the lifecycle and natural timing affect human body and spirit correspondingly, so if we know the relation of the spirit and time, regulate spirit by time differentiation, which must be helpful for keeping good mind, even for health and longevity.

Objective To explore the effective molecular mechanism of PPAR-γligands rosiglitazone to biliary ischemia-reperfusion injury in autologous liver transplantation. Method A total of 40 SD rats were randomly (random number) divided into sham operation group (SO), ischemia - reperfusion group (Ⅰ/R), rosiglitazone (ROS) and GW9662 group, with 10 ones in each. The models, rat biliary ischemiareperfusion injury of autologous liver transplantation, were made by modified two-cuff technique. Tissues of the liver and bile ducts and blood of those models were evaluated by pathological and biochemical methods to make sure the models were made successfully or not. SO group suffered autologous orthotopic liver transplantation, and L/R group suffered both that and ischemia-reperfusion. ROS group were injected rosiglitazone (0.3mg/kg) via portal vein after having been done all as I/R. GW9662 group suffered all as ROS, and 10min later ,they were injected GW9662(0.3mg/kg) via portal vein. 4h after the experiment, tissues of livers and bilary ducts were taken to be tested by immunohistochemistry method, and the blood punctured from the right ventricular were taken to be determined by ELISA. ANOVA was used for statistical analysis.Results IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 were mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes and bile duct cells,while NF-κB was expressed both in the cytoplasm and nuclei. Expression of those proteins in L/R and GW9662 group was increased, significantly higher when compared to the SO and ROS (P < 0.05). IL-1β,TNF-α and IL-6 in rat serum were simultaneously increased, and significantly higher than SO(P <0.05).Compared with the SO, expressions of the IL-1 β,TNF-α and IL-6 were not significantly changed in ROS (P> 0.05 )but significantly increased in GW9662. Conclusions PPAR-γ ligand rosiglitazone took protective role in biliary ischemia-reperfusion injury in autologous liver transplantation. The mechanism correlates with the release of the IL-lα, IL-1β and TNF-α and other inflammatory mediators, which decreased as the expression of NF-κB inhibited by its antagonist.
