Objective To investigate the operative methods and merits of nasal reconstruction in terms of the aesthetics. Methods The noses of 12 patients were reconstructed with an expanded triangle-shaped forehead flap with unilateral supratrochlear artery, a skin expander was placed obliquely under galea aponeurotica of forehead. Liquid was injected with conventional expansion method. Using the skin and the scars on nasal dorsum and tip as lining, based on intercanthal distance and aesthetic standard, a triangle-shaped forehead myocutaneous flap was designed over the expanded forehead skin tissue and used for a nasal reconstruction. The triangle-shaped flap was trimmed to different layer and reshaped based on aesthetic subunit.Results In twelve post-operative patients with nasal defect, no flap necrosis was found and the appearance of reconstructed noses were almost normal and satisfactory after follow-up for 6 months to 2 years. Conclusion The modified forehead myocutaneous flap according to aesthetic standard is safe and ideal for major nasal reconstruction. Meticulous moulding of triangle-shaped flap, nose interior with good blood supply, and primary insertion of nose stretcher are the key to a satisfactory appearance.

Xiang thinking is the key way of thinking to construct the life model of human body in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and the theory of ascending and descending of qi movement is an important manifestation of xiang thinking in the theory of TCM. Based on the theory of qi movement, this paper interpreted the mechanism of ischemic stroke through the perspective of xiang thinking "earth weakness - wood constraint - fire hyperactivity", as "earth weakness in the central and dampness accumulated to phlegm" "wood constraint and stirring wind led to blood stasis" and "fire hyperactivity and fire toxin showed flaming upward" due to disorder of qi movement. Combined with the "xiang of medicinal properties and therapy methods" to discuss the treatment and prescriptions of ischaemic stroke, applying wind medicinals to elevate ji-earth (己土) and yi-wood (乙木), so that phlegm and stasis can be eliminated, and cold medicinals to descend jia-wood (甲木) and wu-earth (戊土) so that fire toxin can be cleared, with a view to restore ascending and descending of qi movement for ischaemic stroke.

As the guiding theory for the diagnosis and treatment of encephalopathy in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), The marrow sea theory has important theoretical connotation and clinical value. This paper summarized the clinical research literature on the differentiation and treatment of common encephalopathy based on the marrow sea theory published in recent years, analyzed the treatment method and effects from eight aspects in terms of stroke, dizziness, insomnia, headache, constraint syndrome, dementia, tremor syndrome, and atrophy syndrome, and discussed the possible mechanism based on the relevant basic research. It is believed that marrow sea depletion is the common pathogenesis of encephalopathy in TCM. Guided by the method of supplementing essence and boosting marrow, the corresponding formulas and medicinals are recommended in accordance with differentiated syndromes, which can effectively improve the symptoms of the disease, delay the progression, increase the daily life ability of the patients, and improve the quality of life. Based on the marrow sea theory, the method of supplementing essence and boosting marrow, rectifying healthy qi and dispelling pathogen can be used to highlight the advantages of TCM and provide ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of encephalopathy in TCM.

This paper summarized the experience of Professor FANG Dingya in staged treatment of Sjögren's syndrome from the perspective of dryness toxin. It is believed that the cause of Sjögren's syndrome is externally-contracted dryness, consumption of essence and fluid, congenital and acquired essence deficiency, depleted essence and insufficient blood, and the core mechanism is internal accumulation of dryness toxin. The treatment can be divided into three stages, that is dryness toxin transforming into fire-heat, damp-heat and phlegm-stasis, from the perspective of dryness metal qi transformation. It is emphasized to dispel pathogen mainly, to clear and moisten with yin-nourishing medicinals in supplementation, and to treat by stages based on syndrome differentiation. For dryness toxin with fire-heat, it is suggested to moisten dryness, resolve toxins and subdue fire, with self-made Runzao Jiedu Decoction (润燥解毒汤) in modification. For dryness toxin with damp-heat, the method of nourishing yin, clearing heat and draining dampness should be used, and Chunze Decoction (春泽汤) in modification is suggested. For dryness toxin with phlegm-stasis, it is recommended to unblock collaterals, disperse phlegm and dissipate stasis, with self-made Sanyu Xiaotan Decoction (散瘀消痰汤) in modification.

Aim To explore the main pathways and possible mechanisms of saffron in treatment of depression using network pharmacology. Methods A network of active components of saffron-depression disease target was constructed through the TCM System Pharmacology Database (TCMSP), Genecards, Uniprot database, Cytoscape software, and ClueGo analysis tool, and GO biological process and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed, and molecular docking verification was carried out using Autodock vina software. Results The five main chemical components quercetin, kaempferol, crocealdehyde, crocetin, and isorhamnetin may pass through the IL-17 signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway and Toll-like inflammatory pathways such as receptor signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, relaxin signaling pathway, Thl7 cell differentiation and other pathways, playing an antidepressant effect. In the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and MAPK signaling pathway, the targets of saffron for depression were mainly enriched in multiple targets such as BD-NF, TNF, IL-1, IL-6, MAPK8, JUN, GSK3B, N0S3 and so on. The results of molecular docking verification indicated a good docking effect of saffron and crocetin with the BDNF target in the antidepressant pathway of saffron. Conclusions The mechanism of saffron treatment of depression is mainly reflected in the regulation of neurotrophic factors, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxida-tive stress, etc., providing a theoretical basis for clinical application.

This paper summarized the clinical experience of XU Fengqin in the treatment of hypertension in the elderly. It is believed that the basic pathogenesis of hypertension in the elderly is liver and kidney depletion, and the key is ascendant hyperactivity of liver yang and spleen failing to transport. Therefore, the theory of “combination of disease and symptoms” is put forward that the four common clinical symptoms of hypertension in the elderly, including morning hypertension, non-dipper hypertension with abnormal circadian rhythm, postprandial hypotension and orthostatic hypotension, should be differentiated and treated with prescription in accordance with the characteristics of the corresponding pathogenesis. Specifically, the pathogenesis of morning hypertension is mainly liver-kidney yin deficiency and ascendant hyperactivity of liver yang, for which the treatment method of enriching liver and boosting kidney, calming the liver and subduing yang is suggested, and Qingxuan Jiangya Decoction (清眩降压汤) in modifications can be used. For non-dipper hypertension with abnormal circadian rhythm, the pathogenesis is mainly phlegm-dampness obstruction and clear yang failing to ascend, and treatment method should be dissolving phlegm and dispelling dampness, calming the liver and extinguishing wind, with Banxia Baizhu Tianma Decoction and Modified Honglong Xiahai Decoction (半夏白术天麻汤合加味红龙夏海汤) in its modifications. Regarding postprandial hypotension and orthostatic hypotension, the pathogenesis is mainly spleen-stomach depletion and clear yang failing to ascend, and thus the method of supplementing the center and boosting qi, raising yang and lifting the sunken is advised with Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (补中益气汤) or Yiqi Congming Decoction (益气聪明汤) in the modifications.

To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Bushen Huoxue ricipe in treating patients suffering from diminished ovarian reserve. Databases such as CNKI, WanFang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, EMbase and Cochrane Library were searched on randomized controlled trial/quasi-randomized controlled trial about Bushen Huoxue ricipe in treating patients suffering from diminished ovarian reserve form the inception of the study until June 2017. The studies were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Risk of bias evaluation tools were adopted to conduct quality evaluation. Meta-analysis on outcome indicator was performed by RevMan Version 5.3 Software. Due to the different Bushen Huoxue recipe (observation group) and the different Western medicine(control group) of all included studies, the effect size was combined by the random effect model after the subgroup analysis or sensitivity analysis was performed. Eventually 11 trials were included, including 733 cases of patients. Results of Meta-analysis indicated that, Bushen Huoxue recipe had advantages over Western medicine on lowering FSH, increasing AMH and AFC, enhancing the Chinese medicine symptom curative effect; Bushen Huoxue recipe had no advantages over Western medicine on increasing E2; the advantages of Bushen Huoxue recipe were not clear on reducing FSH/LH and increasing total effective rate because of the different outcomes to compared with the different Western medicine; no serious adverse reaction appering from Bushen Huoxue recipe was reported in the including researches. Bushen Huoxue recipe has the clinical curative effect and high safety suffering from diminished ovarian reserve. However, limited by the poor quantity of studies, these conclusions remain to be examined by more center, more sample and high-quality studies.
