The Dunhuang manuscript Fuxing Jue takes the "Tangye Jingfa Tu" as the core of its theory on prescription and compatibility. Its medication principles mainly include the "five elements principle of tonifying and purging" and the "five elements principle of elimination and transformation". Based on the differentiation of deficiency and excess in the five Zang organs， it flexibly applies medicinal properties， usage， and flavor transformation for tonifying and purging， forming its unique method of medication and compatibility. In Taiyin disease， "fullness syndrome" often occurs together with "diarrhea"， and these two conditions also serve as the primary indications for the middle-regulating formulas. Among them， Lizhong Wan （Tang） mainly address Taiyin deficiency. The three Xiexin Tang （Banxia Xiexin Tang， Gancao Xiexin Tang， Shengjiang Xiexin Tang） address Taiyin deficiency accompanied by pathogenic excess. The Sini Tangand Tongmai Sini Tang primarily treat dysfunction of the liver， spleen， and kidney with impaired opening and closing of Taiyin， manifesting as diarrhea. The medicinal flavors of middle-regulating formulas are pungent， sweet， and bitter， acting directly on the spleen of Taiyin. The pungent flavor induces purging of the spleen， sweet flavor tonifies the spleen， and bitter flavor eliminates lumps. When the constituent medicinal units of middle-regulating formulas are unified， the ratio of pungent to sweet flavors reflects the tonic and purgative strength of the formula. In addition， the two decoction methods， "short-term decoction to extract Qi" and "long-term decoction to extract flavor"， also influence the formula's tonifying and purgative effects. Based on the composition of flavors and special decoction methods， this article discusses the differences in the use of middle-regulating formulas for treating "“fullness syndrome" versus "diarrhea". Dysfunction of the spleen can give rise to various diseases. Therefore， middle-regulating formulas are not limited to treating "deficiency， cold， and dampness" syndromes. Later generations of physicians further modified Lizhong Tang to treat "excess， heat， and dryness" syndromes， laying a solid foundation for more flexible and effective clinical application of middle-regulating formulas.

OBJECTIVE： To study the improvement effect and mechanism of methylated urolithin A on oleic acid-induced lipid accumulation in human liver cancer Huh-7 cells. METHODS： Oleic acid was adopted to induce lipid accumulation model cells. Huh-7 cells were divided into control group （culture medium）， model group （1 mmol/L oleic acid）， low-dose group （1 mmol/L oleic acid+10 μmol/L methylated urolithin A） and high-dose group （1 mmol/L oleic acid+20 μmol/L methylated urolithin A）. Oil red O staining was used to observe lipid accumulation in cells. Triglyceride（TG） enzyme assay was applied to determine the TG content in cells. PCR was employed to detect the mRNA expression of FASN， SREBP-1， PPAR-α and PPAR-γ in cells. Western blotting was used to determine the protein expression of FASN in cells. RESULTS： After induced by oleic acid， a large amount of lipid droplet accumulated around the cells； the intracellular lipid and TG content， mRNA expression levels of FASN， SREBP-1 and PPAR-γ， protein expression levels of FASN were increased significantly， while mRNA expression level of PPAR-α was decreased significantly （P＜0.01）. After intervened with methylated urolithin A， lipid droplet around the cells decreased significantly； the contents of lipid and TG in cells were decreased significantly， while the mRNA expression levels of FASN， SREBP-1 and PPARγ and protein expression level of FASN were decreased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS： Methylated urolithin A can improve oleic acid-induced lipid accumulation in Huh-7 cells， the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting fat synthesis， promoting lipid metabolism and down-regulating the expression of metabolism-related factors as FASN， SREBP-1 and PPAR-γ.

Objective To explore the influence of drug dosage, solvent and other main influencing factors on the successful establishment of alloxan-induced hyperglycemia mouse model and the effect on the stability of this model. Methods 160 6-8-week-old Kunming mice ofSPF grade, (male:female=1:1) were used in this study.The influences of different dosages of alloxan and solvent combinations on the successful establishment rate of the model, survival rate, body weight, fasting blood glucose, blood glucose area under curve, serum insulin level and their stabilities were dynamically observed for six weeks.Results By single intraperitoneal injection of 160 mg/kg bw alloxan ( pH 4.5 citrate sodium as solvent) , we were able to obtain a stable experimental hyperglycemic mouse model with higher levels of successful establishment rate (70%), survival rate (75%), fasting blood glucose (15-20 mmol/L), glucose area under the curve (55-65 mmol/L) and a lower but not loss of serum insulin levels (21 mIU/L).Conclusions In the present study we have carefully considered the influence of main factors such as drug dosages, solvent, etc., on the alloxan-induced experimental hyperglycemic mouse model, and successfully established this model after 6-week period observation of its stability.This model may provide a useful tool in the research of experimental diabetes and hypoglycemic functional studies.
