Tumor immune microenvironment has been the focus of tumor research in recent years, and its role in tumor regulation has become prominent and has received increasing attention. The imbalance of the tumor immune microenvironment plays an important role in promoting tumor progression, and the adjustment of its instability plays an important role in controlling tumor progression. The theoretical idea of Traditional Chinese Medicine's "Yipingweiqi" is basically the same as that of modern medicine of controlling tumors by maintaining the balance of the immune microenvironment. This study discusses the aspects of tumor immune microenvironment, its destabilization, relationship to tumor progression, importance in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and regulation by Traditional Chinese Medicine with different treatments. In particular, this work focuses on the role of Traditional Chinese Medicine in maintaining the balance of the tumor immune microenvironment and its potential mechanism by using qi benefit, yang warming, dampness eliminating, and heat clearing under the guidance of the principle of "Yipingweiqi". Results will provide reference for the application of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors.

The occurrence of malignant tumors is closely related to the ministerial fire. The variant ministerial fire is the fundamental factor of the formation of cancer toxin, and ministerial fire dislocation and hyperactivity are the basis for the generation of variant ministerial fire. When the ministerial fire cannot keep its position or moves without restraint, burning and exuberant, the variant ministerial fire comes out. Under the guidance of the theory of ministerial fire, the basic treatment methods to differentiate and treat malignant tumors are the direct repulsion of variant ministerial fire, and the regulation of dislocated and hyperactive ministerial fire. The method of clearing heat and resolving toxins is often used, taking a large amounts of bitter and cold herbs to reduce variant ministerial fire. For ministerial fire dislocation, ministerial fire depletion, true yang insufficiency, and the ministerial fire failing to rely on, it is common to have symptoms of upper heat and lower cold, for which the treatment method is to benefit the source of the fire, and Modified Yinhuo Decoction (引火汤加减) is commonly used. For insufficient true yin and lack of support for ministerial fire, it is suggested to nourish kidney essence, and the medicinals of enriching yin and boosting kidney are commonly used. In terms of ministerial fire hyperactivity, the treatment method should be nourishing the heart and calming the mind, and Jiaotai Pills (交泰丸) is often used to clear heart and clam the mind, and return fire to its origin. At the same time, methods such as regulating qi, resolving phlegm, clearing fire, and dispelling stasis are used to clear away tangible pathogens, so that the ministerial fire acts in a controlled manner and keeps its position and destiny.

Objective To analyze the correlation between the condition of patients with spastic cerebral palsy, including age, sex, weight, number of the affected limb and gross motor function and their rehabilitation effect after selective posterior rhizotomy (SPR), and to explore the possible factors that contribute to the rehabilitation of motor function in patients with spastic cerebral palsy.Methods Totally 53 patients with spastic cerebral palsy admitted in the Departments of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation of Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine were selected from October 2013 to October 2015. The patients received uniform and standard rehabilitation treatment after SPR, and their motor function was evaluated with the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) before the surgery and six months after the surgery. Then the correlation between the patients' age, sex, weight, GMFM score before treatment and number of the affected limb and the difference in their motor function before and after treatment was analyzed.Results The patients' score in improved motor function was negatively correlated with their age (r=-0.30,P<0.01) and weight (r=-0.30, P<0.01), and not correlated with their sex (r=0.00,P=1.00), motor function before treatment (r=-0.20,P>0.05) or number of the affected limb (r=-0.20,P>0.05).Conclusions For patients aged between 3 and 25, the earlier they are treated, the better the effect is. The patients should control their weight properly so as not to affect the rehabilitation effect after surgery. The patients' sex, motor function before treatment and number of the affected limb cannot help to predict the recovery of their motor function after surgery. Researchers will continue to conduct large-sample and multi-factor studies in order to verify the current conclusions and analyze the influencing factors of SPR effect in a more comprehensive way.
