Objective To construct and evaluate the rat model of thyroid nodule liver-qi depression syndrome with the combination of disease and syndrome,so as to lay a foundation for the exploration of the mechanism and clinical research of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of thyroid nodule.Methods 36 rats were randomly divided into three groups.The model was induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)stimulation combined with propylthiouracil(PTU).The rats in the blank group were fed with saline at the dose of 1 mL·100 g-1·d-1,and the rats in the PTU group were fed with 0.1%PTU solution at the dose of 1 mL·100 g-1·d-1.The rats in the CUMS+PTU group were fed with CUMS stimulation in a single cage and intragastric administration of 0.1%PTU solution according to the dose of 1 mL·100 g-1·d-1,and the modeling time lasted for 6 weeks.After the establishment of the model,the model of combination of disease and syndrome was evaluated comprehensively by means of animal behavior detection,ultrasonic image,apparent morphology observation,pathological staining and serum hormone index detection.Results Compared with control group and PTU group,the total distance in the open field was significantly shortened,the sucrose preference rate was significantly decreased,and the swimming suspension time was significantly prolonged in the CUMS+PTU group,showing obvious symptoms of liver qi stagnation.In addition,compared with the other two groups,the thyroid gland of CUMS+PTU group showed obvious enlargement and nodule formation,thyroid index significantly increased,and thyroid follicular epithelial cells showed a high phase of proliferation.In terms of hormone levels,compared with control group,the serum levels of free triiodothyronine(FT3)and free thyroxine(FT4)in CUMS+PTU group were significantly lower,while the level of thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH)was significantly higher,which was in line with the current evaluation criteria of thyroid nodule model.Conclusion The method of CUMS stimulation combined with PTU drug induction can successfully prepare the rat model of thyroid nodule liver-qi depression syndrome,and the comprehensive evaluation method is stable and reliable,which is helpful to improve the scientific nature of the disease-syndrome combination model.

Objective To explore the relationship between job burnout and personality characteristics of prison police,and provide a basis for prevention and intervention of prison police burnout.Methods Using Maslach burnout inventory general survey(MBI-GS) and Catteii the sixteen factor questionnaire(16PF) to investigate 217 prison police in Beijing.Results The overall prevalence of burnout syndrome among prison police was 64.7％.The prevalence of emotional exhaustion(11.09±5.86),depersonalization(6.38±4.81) and diminished personal accomplishment(17.96± 2.07) was 46.5％,25.6％,33％ respectively.Compared with the national norm of 16PF,the 10 factors of warmth(t=-2.01,P=0.007),reasoning(t=9.22,P=0.000),dominance(t=6.46,P=0.000),liveliness(t=4.01,P=0.000),social boldness(t=-2.00,P=0.047),sensitivity(t=-7.80,P=0.000),abstractedness (t=-2.89,P=0.004),privateness (t=4.35,P=0.000),perfectionism(t=3.19,P=0.002) were significant differences.The emotional exhaustion was significantly related to emotional stability,dominance,liveliness,social boldness and tension.The depersonalization was significantly related to emotional stability,abstractedness and tension.The diminished personal accomplishment was significantly related to self-reliance.Conclusion Prison police burnout situation is more serious,and personality characteristics has a significant impact on job burnout.

The modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is urgent need of the modern theory of TCM, is a consensus. But, How to establish and what kind of modern TCM theory, is far from a consensus. Based on the summarization of the common law in the construction of scientific theory, we are trying to give a answer that are expected to form a consensus. Firstly, we have illustrated the trend that the development of TCM theory should learn from the life and medical sciences theory function and value; Secondly, we have proven that TCM and TCM theory belongs to the traditional medicine and theory and pointed out the limitation of the traditional medicine, TCM and its theory. And then we have revealed the inevitable trend of traditional medicine, TCM and its theory development at home and abroad, logically obtained the inevitable choice of constructing the modern TCM basic theory; Lastly, we have analyzed the different discipline new theory construction process and method at home and abroad and discovered the common five steps rule, put forward three principles and five steps of constructing modern TCM basic theory, demonstrated its important role during the theoretical revolution promoting Chinese Medicine theory from phenomenon description to mechanism clarification and the scientific value of Chinese Medicine theory in the domestic and foreign development trend.

This study was aimed to solve the problem of overall syndrome differentiation information collection on patient’s main complain of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) four diagnostic methods, in order to make syndrome differentiation standard of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) with liver-qi invasion pattern. The method of cluster sampling was applied in the investigation. The appropriate structural equation modeling (SEM) was established according to multi-dimension indexes of case features and TCM theories. The results of the “information acquisition form for doctor” structural equation showed that emotion dimension, body-symptom dimension, organism condition dimension load coefficients were 0.715, 0.574 and 0.904, respectively. The results of the “information acquisition form for patient” structural equation showed that emotion dimension, body-symptom dimension, organism condition dimension load coefficients were 0.705, 0.945 and 0.848, respectively. There were strong relativities among all dimensions. Combined with TCM theories, the main symptom of identified PMS with liver-qi invasion pattern was “irritable and angry”. And the secondary symptoms contained headache, breast tenderness, distention and pain of lower abdomen and stomach. The combining symptoms were insomnia, dreaminess, swelling of extremities, fatigue, inefficiency for work and housework, hard to focus the attention. It was concluded that the combination of information acquisition method from both the doctor and patient established a relative comprehensive information acquisition system. It established the syndrome differentiation standard of PMS with liver-qi invasion pattern for the first time based on epidemiologic investigation. It provided important reference for the study of PMS subtype.

This article was aimed to study the factors associated with sleep quality of anger-out and anger-in population based on the frequent pattern-tree (FP-Tree) growing algorithm with data mining.

The frequent itemsets met minimum support required was generated through reducing the search space of project sets and scanning database only one. The data mining of all factors associated with emotional diseases was actualized. The results showed that factors associated with sleep quality of anger-out and anger-in population were disturbance in respiration, cough or snoring, feeling cold, hot or nightmares. The total time for program analysis was 2 seconds. It was concluded that data mining algorithm based on FP-Tree frequent itemsets can effectively realize the useful information receiving from factors associated with emotional diseases.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of Radix Bupleuri extract (RBE) on 5-HT3R channel currents of primarily cultured hippocampal neurons in depression emotion rats.Depression emotion model ratswere duplicated.RBE was used for drug intervention.And then,the rats were evaluated by the open-field test (OFT) and the sucrose preference test.Serum of rats in each group was collected and then added into the primary cultured hippocampal neurons for 24 h.The 5-HT3R channel currents were recorded by the whole-cell patch clamp.The results showed that compared with the normal group,the total score of OFT in the model group was significantly decreased (P < 0.01); the sucrose preference ratio decreased obviously (P < 0.01); and the current density value of primary cultured hippocampal neurons in serum of the model group was significantly higher (P <0.01).Compared with the model group,the total scores of OFT in the RBE group and fluoxetine group increased significantly (P < 0.05,P < 0.01); the sucrose preference ratio also increased obviously (P < 0.05,P < 0.05); and current density value of the primary cultured hippocampal neurons in serum of the RBE group and fluoxetine group decreased significantly (P < 0.01,P < 0.01).It was concluded that RBE can effectively correct the abnormal 5-HT3R channel currents of rats with depression emotion,which may be one of the central mechanisms in the treatment of depression emotion.

This study was aimed to elucidate the 5-HT3R molecular mechanism of Radix Paeoniae Albaextract (RPAE) as drug intervention in the treatment of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) model rats with liver-qi depression pattern.PMS model rats with liver-qi depression pattern were prepared.And then,the model was treated with RPAE.The protein distribution of 5-HT3AR and 5-HT3BR in the frontal lobe was evaluated by the immune fluorescence technology and western blot.The results showed that there were positive expressions of 5-HT3AR and 5-HT3BR in frontal lobe of rats in each group.Compared with the normal group,the 5-HT3AR and 5-HT3BR protein expression levels of the frontal lobe in the model group increased significantly (P < 0.05).Compared with the model group,the 5-HT3AR protein expression level in the frontal lobe decreased significantly after RPAE treatment (P < 0.05).In conclusion,RPAE regulated the protein expressions of 5-HT3AR and 5-HT3BR in frontal lobe,which may be one of the mechanisms for its treatment of PMS with liver-qi depression pattern.

This paper was aimed to analyze the theoretical connotation with liver bodyyin with function yang, and to explain the physiological and pathological mechanism of body yin and function yang, respectively. The mechanism of its corresponding syndrome and symptoms were described and the composing principle of classical prescription for liver regulation was analyzed. The clinical significance of liver body yin with function yangwas confirmed by clinical cases. This paper argued that the liver ascending characteristics, which is a necessary guarantee for ascendingqi in the human body to adapt to the ascending gas of the world, is the key point to maintain balance of qi ascending and descending in the body. The liver ascending disorder mainly manifested for the excessive ascending and ascending deficiency, which analyzed the pathogenesis characteristic and clinical manifestation of the liver qi ascending disorder. This paper put forward a new view that the liver storing blood referred to the convergence and the conservation properties of the liver, which demonstrated the relationship between liver storing blood and controlling dispersion. It suggested that liver blood convergences liverqi so as not to make liverqi too excessive. The liver storing blood can raise spirit. Liver blood is the source of menstruation, and etc. This paper finally put forward the clinical prescription viewpoint of soothing liver and dropping inverse should raiseyin and gentle liver necessarily, releasing liver should raise liver and nourish blood and clearing away the liver-fire should cool blood and nourishyin. This research had certain clinical value.

This study was aimed to explore brain regions which were closely related to the disease onset of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) with liver-qi depression. The BOLD-functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used in the study. The processing of imaging data was based on the SPM 8 software and the REST software of the matlab platform. Each cluster was more than 389 continuous voxel. The brain region with single voxel of P < 0.05 (corrected) was defined as region with statistical significance. The 2 Sample T-Test was applied in the case group and the control group. The results showed that compared with the normal control group, the frontal lobe, occipital lobe, insula, limbic lobe, basal nuclei, and cingulate gyrus were activated in the PMS with liver-qi depression cases. It was concluded that the disease onset of PMS with liver-qi depression cases was related to brain regions such as frontal lobe, occipital lobe, insula, limbic lobe, basal nuclei, and cingulate gyrus.

This study was aimed to reveal the roles of biological factors T3, T4 and TSH in the pathogenesis of liver-qi invasion syndrome and liver-qi depression syndrome of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in the body. Thus, we may expound the connotation of conceptpotential stagnation ofqi and blood. Female workers of Jinan and Qingdao were selected as target groups by epidemiological cross-sectional survey. And specially trained investigators were responsible for screening patients referred to criterion on the international diagnostic standards and syndrome diagnosis of PMS. Patients' blood was taken as samples during the follicular phase (6 to 14 days), luteal phase (15 to 23 days), premenstrual phase (24 to 28 days) and the menstrual phase (1 to 5 days), respectively. Blood samples were disposed according to requirements of radioimmunoassay. Single factor analysis of variance was used in the comparison with the level of T3, T4 and TSH in menstrual blood for different time intervals of the case group and the normal group by SPSS 10.0 statistical software. The results showed that T3 levels of patients with either syndrome were significantly reduced during the premenstrual phase and the menstrual phase (P < 0.05). There were no significant changes on the level of serum T4 and TSH before and after the occurrence of the disease. Both of them were significantly increased during each phase of the menstrual cycle. It was concluded that changes of T3, T4 and TSH were one of the mechanisms in disease with liver-qi invasion syndrome and liver-qi depression syndrome. The micro change was the essence ofpotential stagnation of qi and blood, which was the body condition of this disease.
