Based on the theory of "yang governs and yin follows", it is believed that pediatric obesity is primarily involves the key pathogenesis of constraint and stagnation due to yang deficiency, and the excessive accumulation of yin turbid. The root cause lies in the spleen-stomach yang deficiency and impaired digestion and transformation, while the branch manifestation is characterized by constraint and stagnation in sanjiao (三焦) and excessive accumulation of yin turbid. This emphasizes the imbalance between the governing function of yang qi and the transformation mechanism of yin essence in the overall pathological process. Accordingly, the treatment approach of reinforcing yang and unblocking stagnation, inhibiting yin and resolving turbid has been proposed. And a comprehensive treatment plan is suggested, including abdominal tuina combined with spinal manipulation, timed acupuncture according to the the eightfold method of the sacred tortoise, syndrome differentiation-based acupuncture, and mild moxibustion. This approach aims to provide an integrated approach for the prevention and treatment of pediatric obesity.

The Chinese health index assessment system integrates the dialectical thinking of traditional philosophy, taking the Taoist cosmology, Confucian ethical view, and the holistic perspective of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as its theoretical foundation. It deeply analyzes the sages' conceptions of the ideal personality and social order, as well as their ideas on mind-body cultivation, while incorporating modern health concepts from psychology, medicine. The study systematically explicates the connotation and characteristics of eight components of the Chinese health index, including harmony, dedication, compassion, happiness, peace of mind, innovation, fulfillment, and adaptability. This system establishes a multidimensional assessment framework covering physical health, psychological well-being, human-social relations, and the relationship with nature, which demonstrates high cultural adaptability and practical applicability, offering theoretical reference for assessing the mind-body health of the Chinese population and for informing health promotion policies.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application effect of Zishen Yutai Pill in patients with repeated implantation failure (RIF) undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted, selecting 744 cycles of patients with RIF at the Department of Female Reproductive Medicine,State Key Laboratory of Reproductive Medicine and Offspring Health, Center for Reproductive Medicine, Institute of Women, Children and Reproductive Health, Shandong University from October 2017 to April 2023. The patients were divided into experimental group (treated with Zishen Yutai Pill, n=279) and control group (treated without Zishen Yutai Pill, n=465) based on whether Zishen Yutai Pill was added to luteal support. The pregnancy outcomes between the two groups were compared. Based on the different endometrial preparation protocols in the FET cycles, the patients were used down-regulation protocol ( n=271) or non-down-regulation protocol ( n=473). The pregnancy outcomes of the two groups in each protocol were compared. Results:There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of biochemical pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate, embryo implantation rate, early miscarriage rate, late miscarriage rate, and live birth rate (all P>0.05). However, the biochemical pregnancy rate [69.0% (58/84)], clinical pregnancy rate [59.5% (50/84)], and embryo implantation rate [59.4% (57/96)] in the experimental group of the down-regulated protocol were significantly higher than those in control group [56.1% (105/187), P=0.045; 46.5% (87/187), P=0.048; 44.9% (92/205), P=0.019], with statistically significant differences. In the non-down-regulated protocol, there were no statistically significant differences in pregnancy outcomes between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:In the FET down-regulated protocol, Zishen Yutai Pill can significantly improve the clinical pregnancy rate and the embryo implantation rate in patients with RIF, thereby improving pregnancy outcomes.
