1.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.

BACKGROUND: Vitrification is a comparatively new technology which applies high concentration cryoprotectant and rapid refrigeration. By the method, the cells were quickly frozen and to avoid damage by ice crystals inside and outside. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of four cryoprotectants on morphology and function of ovarian tissue in rats after vitrification. METHODS: The rats were randomly assigned into six groups with 6 rats for each: DMSO + EG, DMSO + EG + sucrose, DMSC +EG + sucrose + acetamide, EG + sucrose + acetamide, ovariectomized, and normal control groups. The ovarian tissues of four freezing groups were treated with the corresponding cryoprotectants, the vitrified ovarian tissues were then resected but not frozen and transplanted; otherwise, tissues were not treated with any treatment in the normal control group. Two weeks after freezing, the tissues were thawed and heterotopic-transplanted into femoribus intemus of hind limb. At 30 days after implantation, vaginal epithelial cells and estrus cycle were observed, while after three months, blood were collected to detect the level of estradiol (E2) and the ovarian tissues were reclaimed to analyze their morphological changes. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All ovarian tissues were damaged after cryoprersarvation in four freezing groups. The rates ot healthy primordial follicles were 67.9%, 71.6%, 80.5%, and 59.4%, respectively, while healthy primary follicles were 41.6%, 52.3%, 55.9%, and 36.7%, respectively. In all freezing groups, the rate of the healthy follicles in DMSO + EG + sucrose + acetamide group was higher than DMSO + EG group and EG + sucrose + acetamide group (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found in the proportion of follicles at different development stages among four groups. The typical secondary follicle was not found in four groups. Damaged ovotid showed oocyte pyknosis and vacuolation in cytoplasmic area. There was not typical cell type of all freezing groups. Ovarian autografting gained visible vascularity from surrounding tissue that connected ovarian tissue to form net. There was a lot of blood capillary in transplanted ovarian tissues and clumped primordial follicles in cortical substance. The rates of primary follicles and secondary follicles were lower than primordial follicles. The level of serum estradiol was obviously decreased compared with normal control group (P < 0.01). There was significant difference between DMSO + EG + sucrose + acetamide group and other three freezing groups (P < 0.05). Four kinds of freezing methods have poor effects on different stages of follicles and the structure of ovariarn tissue. DMSO + EG + sucrose + acetamide group is an optimal protocol for cryoprerserving ovarian tissue. Freezing methods still need to explore further because the rats had not appeared disciplinary estrus cycle after ovarian autoqrafting.
