[Objective]To summarize Professor LI Xinmin's clinical experience in treating functional constipation in children based on the theory of spleen movement.[Methods]Through learning from the teacher,reading ancient medical books and sorting out clinical medical cases,this paper expounds the theoretical origin of the spleen-transportation theory,analyzes Professor LI's exploration of the etiology and pathogenesis of functional constipation in children from the perspective of"spleen transportation",as well as the clinical experience in treating children's functional constipation with the spleen-transportation theory,and attaches a verified case for evidence.[Results]Professor LI holds that the main etiology of functional constipation in children is the damage to the spleen and stomach caused by dietary stagnation.The key pathogenesis is characterized by"dry fecal accumulation being the secondary aspect with dysfunction of large intestine conduction,and spleen-stomach deficiency being the primary aspect with disharmony of Qi movement in internal organs",among which the disorder of ascending-descending mechanisms in the spleen-stomach and liver-lung axis is particularly prominent.Guided by the"spleen-transportation"theory and the principle of"three-adaptation therapy",clinical treatment employs the strategies of"strengthening the spleen for root cultivation with tonification in transportation,regulating pivotal mechanisms through combined therapies",forming the spleen-transporting pivot-regulation method featured by"dredging-transportation and pivot-regulation".The self-formulated Yunpi Decoction is used to invigorate spleen-earth,focusing on ascending spleen-Yang,regulating middle-Jiao,and regulating Qi movement.In clinical practice,therapies like digestion-promoting,heat-clearing,purging and Qi-supplementing are flexibly integrated based on concomitant syndromes.The harmony method is adeptly applied to reconcile cold-heat and deficiency-excess,emphasizing that medications should be mild to avoid excessive purgation from damaging vital Qi.The pathogenesis of the attached case belonged to spleen deficiency and lack of health,with poor pivot function and internal food stagnation.The treatment adopted the methods of invigorating the spleen and stomach,regulating Qi and promoting smoothness,guiding stagnation and relieving constipation,and administered with the self-designed modified Yunpi Decoction.[Conclusion]Based on the"spleen-transportation theory",Professor LI applies the spleen-transportation and pivot-regulation method featuring dredging-transportation and pivot-regulation.With its unique theory,this approach provides new ideas and methods for clinical practice,making it worthy of promotion and learning.

[Objective]To introduce and summarize Professor LI Xinmin's experience in treating pediatric epilepsy from the perspective of pivot.[Methods]By following the clinical work,it collected,organized and analyzed initial and follow-up medical records of pediatric epilepsy patients from the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and consulted ancient Chinese medicine books and modern clinical research on pediatric epilepsy,and analyzed Professor LI's experience in treating pediatric epilepsy from several aspects.Additionally,it attached a medical case for verification.[Results]Professor LI identifies phlegm turbidity and retention as the basic initiating factor of the disease,and phlegm Qi disorder as the core pathogenesis.Combining with the characteristics of children,he utilizes the characteristics of Chinese medicine,using the pivot as the core to treat phlegm and promote Qi flow,supplemented by reconciling the Shaoyang pivot,restoring the circulation of spleen and stomach,and using a dual approach to regulate the overall Qi and coordinate the functions of organs,thereby improving the condition of children with epilepsy and reducing the frequency of seizures.Professor LI also pays attention to individualized treatment,examines the evidence to determine the cause,and adds or subtracts medication according to different types of seizures.At the same time,emphasis is placed on dynamic syndrome differentiation,and medication is prescribed according to the changes in the patient's condition,achieving good therapeutic effects in the treatment and prevention of epilepsy.The attached case was diagnosed as disadvantageous of Shaoyang pivot syndrome at first visit,the treatment was to dredge and benefit Shaoyang,calm the liver and extinguish wind.Chaihu Longgu Muli Decoction and Ditan Decoction were added and subtracted,and then Xieqing Pill was given to clear the liver meridian and remove the heat.[Conclusion]Professor LI's clinical efficacy in treating pediatric epilepsy from the perspective of pivot theory is affirmed,which enriches the diagnosis and treatment system of pediatric epilepsy and is worthy of learning and reference.

Objective To research the changes in hippocampal voltage-gated sodium channel of Lithium chloride-Pilocarpine epileptic rat models,including Ⅰ sodium channel α subunit protein (Nav1.1),mRNA of Ⅰ sodium channel alpha subunit protein gene and function of sodium channel.Methods Epileptic rat models of Lithium chloride-Pilocarpine were established.Nav1.1 expression in the hippocampus of experimental rats was detected by immunohistochemical staining method,and the changes in voltage-gated sodium channel function (the current-voltage curves,activation and inactivation curves and the recovery curve) of hippocampus nerve cells were detected by whole cell patch-clamp technique.Results (1) The Lithium chloride-Pilocarpine rat models were successfully reproduced.Three stages of behavior (acute,latent and chronic) of rat models were observed.The blank control group was free of seizure.(2) Immunohistochemistry results:neurons in CA1 and DG regions of hippocampal of epileptic rats were normal,and there was no obvious change in the expression of Nav1.1.In CA3 area,the degeneration and necrosis of neurons were obvious.Staining of Nav1.1 became superficial and even disappeared in these areas,but the normal tissues were enhanced around degenerative and necrotic neurons.Compared with the blank control group,the expression of Nav1.1 in the model group was higher(0.235 ±0.008 vs.O.210 ±0.002),and there was statistically significant difference (t'=-7.426,P ＜ 0.05).(3) The whole-cell patch-clamp technique showed that the sodium current density of the model group increased significantly compared with that of the blank group [(-319.70 ± 28.24) pA/pF vs.(-229.06 ± 26.01) pA/pF,t =8.178,P ＜ 0.05],the threshold value of activation curve decreased (4.15 ± 0.80 vs.4.50 ±0.85,t =11.020,P ＜ 0.05),the threshold value of inactivation curve increased (7.47 ± 0.53 vs.6.24 ±0.31,t =6.940,P ＜ 0.05),and the recovery time after inactivation shortened [(1.36 ± 0.15) ms vs.(1.86 ± 0.21)ms,t =6.712,P ＜ 0.05],and there were all statistically significant differences.Conclusion Repeated seizures can lead to increase Nav1.1 compensatory expression of,and significantly increase sodium channel current density,while the threshold value of activation curve decreases,the threshold value of inactivation curve rises,and the recovery time after inactivation is shortened,which eventually leads to increased neuron excitability and is more likely to cause seizures.

Objective To study the relation between the TCM constitution and the lung function of asthmatic bronchitis children to lay a foundation to apply the TCM constitution theory in preventing and treating children asthmatic diseases.Methods Following the Zhu's method,120 asthmatic bronchitis children were divided into normal constitution,phlegm-damp constitution,qi deficiency constitution,internal heat constitution,and both qi and yin deficiency constitution.Based on the Su's method,the cases were classified into balance constitution,lung-spleen Ⅰ constitution,lung-spleen Ⅱ constitution,spleen-kidney Ⅰ constitution,and spleen-kidney Ⅱ constitution.Their lung function was tested and the TPTEF /Te and VPTEF/Ve of each constitution were analyzed.Results Of the 120 cases,37 ones (30.8%) were qi deficiency constitution;33 ones (27.5%) were phlegm-damp constitution;and 60 ones (50.0%) were lung-spleen Ⅱ constitution.Compared with those with normal constitution,the cases with the phlegm-damp constitution,qi deficiency constitution,internal heat constitution,and both qi and yin deficiency constitution had significantly lowered TPTEF/Te and VPTEF/Ve (P
