Tu-Jia medicine is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).“San-Yuan doctrine”is the guiding ideology of Tu-Jia medicine, but there is no systematic exposition of its literature origin. This paper ar-gued that“San-Yuan doctrine”of Tu-Jia medicine was originated in the“San-Yuan”of Taoism. Its formation was closely related to the impact of Taoism and Tu-Jia culture, the understanding of human physiology and pathology in Tu-Jia medicine. This paper expounded the origin of“San-Yuan doctrine”, the guiding ideology of Tu-Jia medi-cine and Taoism culture through citing a number of theoretical bases. First of all, the concept of“San-Yuan”in Tu-Jia medicine originated in Taoism. Secondly, legends about the Lord Lao-Zi and Medicine King Bodhisattva in Tu-Jia medicine were closely related with Taoism. Moreover, there existed important links between Tu-Jia medicine and Taoist medicine. For example, both of them are aware of the importance of brain. The reason, I think, is firstly due to the penetration of Taoism in Tu-Jia culture. Taoism culture has a profound influence on Tu-Jia culture. Sec-ondly, the understanding of human physiology and disease in Tu-Jia medicine is closely related to“three”. There-fore, Tu-Jia medicine took“San-Yuan doctrine”as its own guiding ideology. It is of great significance to the study of ethnic minority medicine culture and inheriting its academic thoughts by the study of Tu-Jia medicine origin.

This study was aimed to explore effects of Zi-He-Che (ZHC) on estradiol (E2), follicle stimulating hor-mone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) among perimenopausal rat model. The 4-month-old young female SD rats with vaginal smear of normal estrous cycle and 18-month-old aged female SD rats with vaginal smear of no estrous cycle were selected as the normal control group. The 11- and 12-month-old female SD menopausal rats with vaginal smear of estrous cycle disorder were selected and randomly divided into the model group, treatment group and posi-tive control group. The normal control group and the model group were given physiological saline. And the treatment group was given ZHC. The positive control group was given prescription from the textbook. Observation was given on effects of ZHC on E2, LH and FSH among perimenopausal rat model. The results showed that compared with the young group, the level of E2 in the old and model group was significantly decreased (P<0.01), the level of FSH and LH were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the level of E2 in the treatment group and positive control group was significantly increased (P<0.01), the level of FSH and LH were significantly decreased (P<0.01). It was concluded that both ZHC and prescription from the textbook were able to reduce FSH and LH levels, and increase the estrogen level among perimenopausal rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on the function of gap junction (GJ) in HeLa cells transfected with Cx32/Cx26 plasmid. Methods Cervical cancer HeLa cells transfected with Cx32/Cx26 was given as present by professor Andrew L. Harris from New Jersey Dental Medical School, department of pharmacology and physiology. The transfected cells were selected by G-418. The effective GJ channels were identified by "Parachute Assay". The cells were randomly divided into 6 groups: Ⅰ control group (group C); Ⅱ fat emulsion group was exposed to fat emulsion 10 μg/ml (group E); Ⅲ 18-α-GA group was exposed 18-α-GA (gap junction blocker) 1.0 μg/ml (18-α-GA); Ⅳ, Ⅴ, Ⅵ propofol groups were exposed to propofol 1.3, 2.2 and 3.2μg/ml respectively (group P1, P2, P3). The transfected HeLa cells were incubated at 37 ℃ for 4 h. Gap junction function was assessed using fluorescent indicators Calcine-AM which emits green fluorescence and CM-Dil which emits red fluorescence. The small molecular Calcine-AM can pass through gap junction and enters HeLa cells while the large molecular CM-Dil cannot pass through gap junction and stays in the loading cells. Fluorescent indicator transmissibility and inhibition rate were calculated. Results The fluorescent indicator transmissibility was significantly lower and inhibition rate higher in group 18-α-GA, P1, P2 and P3 than in control group. There was nosignificant difference in the fluorescent indicator transmissibility and inhibition rate between group C and E. The inhibition of GJ function by propofol was dose-dependent. Conclusion Propofol can inhibit the function of GJ in HeLa cells transfected by Cx32/Cx26 in a dose-dependent manner.
