1.Formation and Theoretical Explanation of the Exterior-Interior Relationships among Channels in The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》)
Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2025;66(1):6-11
Regarding the pathway and distribution of twelve channels, the current general view emphasizes their longitudinal distribution along the surface of the human body. Based on such a positioning, it is difficult to interpret the three yin and three yang "opening-closing- pivoting" theory, and the theory of the six channels transmission of externally-contracted febrile disease. Through combing the relevant contents in The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》), it is proposed that, in addition to the longitudinal regional distribution of the channels on the human body, they also exhibit characteristics of layered distribution between the exterior and interior. The formation of this theory stems from the combination of body tissue and channels, that is, the taiyang governs the function of skin, yangming governs the function of flesh, and shaoyang governs the function of bone; taiyin governs the function of spleen and stomach, jueyin governs the function of liver, and shaoyin governs the function of heart. The process of integration of the channels with the body tissues has a relatively clear imprint in the syndrome differentiation of febrile disease in The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor. The exterior-interior relationships of channels are the foundation and prerequisite for the theory of the three yin and three yang "opening-closing-pivoting" and the theory of the six channels transmission in Plain Questions·Treatise on Heat (《素问·热论篇》).

At present, there are still some problems in the standardized residency training. Some standardized training bases often regard the resident trainees as ordinary practitioners, and devote their time and energy to the daily medical procedural work without giving enough training and teaching, ignoring the basic skills training of resident trainees. Therefore, this study constructed an active knowledge push system based on business scenarios. The system mainly includes three parts: sensitive operation identification layer, knowledge index layer and resource push layer in order to cultivate the norms of diagnosis and treatment of standardized training students and reasonably solve the problem of inconvenient resource acquisition in clinical work. Through the preliminary application, it was found that the system has effectively improved the mini-clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX) score of the trainees and achieved good results.

Objective To observe the effects of Tiaojing Cuyun Prescription on endometrial receptivity and AREG/EGFR/HIF-1α signaling pathway of embryo implantation dysfunction(EID)infertility mice;To explore its mechanism on improving endometrial receptivity.Methods On the first day of pregnancy,80 Kunming mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,progesterone group and Tiaojing Cuyun Prescription group,with 20 mice in each group.Progesterone group and Tiaojing Cuyun Prescription group were given corresponding drugs by gavage.On the fourth day of pregnancy,mifepristone solution was subcutaneously injected(2.3 mg/kg)to establish the EID infertility model except the normal group,while the normal group was subcutaneously injected with equal volume of propylene glycol.On the fifth day of pregnancy,10 mice were randomly selected from each group,and the endometrium morphology were observed by HE and Masson staining,the pinopodes were observed by scanning electron microscope,the content of AREG in endometrial tissue was detected by ELISA,and the expressions of EGFR,p-EGFR and HIF-1α were detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence,the rest of the mice were gavaged until the eighth day of pregnancy,and the average number of embryo implantation points was recorded.Results Compared with the normal group,the average number of embryo implantation points of model group significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the glandular development in the endometrium was poor,collagen fibers increased,and blood vessels and pinopodes decreased,the AREG content in endometrial tissue was significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the expressions of p-EGFR and HIF-1α protein were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the average number of embryo implantation points in Tiaojing Cuyun Prescription group significantly increased(P<0.05),the proliferation of collagen fibers in the endometrium was reduced,and the number of glands,blood vessels and pinopodes in stroma significantly increased,the development of pinopodes were full and uniform,the AREG content in endometrial tissue significantly increased(P<0.01),and the expressions of p-EGFR and HIF-1α protein significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.01).The immunofluorescence results were consistent with Western blot.Conclusion Tiaojing Cuyun Prescription can promote the development of endometrial glands and blood vessels,enrich the number of pinopodes,improve the endometrial receptivity of EID infertility mice,facilitates embryo adhesion and implantation,and thus increase the pregnancy rate.Its mechanism may be related to activating AREG/EGFR/HIF-1α signaling pathway,improving endometrial perfusion,and restoring the relatively hypoxic environment of the endometrium.
