The cardinal features of Turner syndrome(TS) are short stature,congenital abnormalities,gonadal dysgenesis.The sex hormone insufficiency lead to infertility and lack of proper development of secondary sex characteristics,it also involves in the frequent osteoporosis and increased cardiovascular risk,state of physical fitness,insulin resistance,body composition,and may play a role in the increased incidence of autoimmunity.Recent researches emphasize the TS patients need for proper sex hormone replacement therapy to improve their quality of life.This review summarizes the effects of estrogen and androgen insufficiency as well as the effects of sex hormone replacement therapy on the whole body of Turner syndrome.
2.Discussion of time and space differentiation of three-yin and three-yang in Shanghan Lun
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2005;3(4):257-9
The concept of "three-yin and three-yang" in Shanghan Lun (Treatise on Cold Pathogenic Diseases), a classic written by Zhang Zhongjing in Han Dynasty, has been always the focus of dispute in successive dynasties. The essence of "three-yin and three-yang" has not been fully revealed up till now. Through studying the six divisions of day and night, the six diseases, the combination of syndromes, the complicated diseases, the complete recovery time and the space division of "three-yin and three-yang", the authors draw a conclusion that the "three-yin and three-yang" in Shanghan Lun is a concept of time-sequence, which is associated with the location of disease in space. So it is suggested that the "six diseases" in Shanghan Lun is a categorization for exogenous febrile diseases, and this categorization reveals a sort of inner relationship between the emergence, development, transformation of the febrile diseases and the time.

Objective To conduct a systematic review on the need and experience of patients in end of life and provide evidence-based guidance for delivery of end-of-life care in hospital and community settings. Methods Two Chinese (CBM and CNKI) and four English relevant databases (PsycINFO,MEDLINE,EMbase and CINAHL) were in-cluded to retrieve literatures on Chinese dying patients' needs and experience between inception and August 2016. The JBI Critical Appraisal Tool for qualitative studies in Australia was used to evaluate the quality of studies. The searching results were synthesized by employing Integrating Methods. Results Seventy-five findings were extracted from 9 qualified studies. The 75 findings were sequently integrated into 5 categories and finally 2 synthesized re-sults were summarized from the 5 categories. Integration result 1:under the sufferings from both physical and psy-chological aspects,dying patients require support from both family and society. Integration result 2:although death is acceptable for patients,they still hope for dignity and goals of life. Conclusion Needs of patients in end-of-life should be understood and respected. Reasonable and effective measures need to be taken to meet their needs and improve their quality of life.
