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.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(3):416-420
Objective:
To analyze the time varying characteristics of weight among Han primary and secondary school students in Xinjiang from 1985 to 2019, so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating nutrition policies for adolescents in ethnic minority areas.
Methods:
Weight data of Han primary and secondary school students aged 7-18 in Xinjiang from the National Student Physical Fitness and Health Survey from 1985 to 2019 were selected. Statistical analysis was conducted by using general linear model test, one way ANOVA and t-test. The weight development trends in 2025 and 2030 were predicted through time series analysis.
Results:
From 1985 to 2019, the weight of Han Chinese boys and girls from primary and secondary schools in Xinjiang showed a continuous upward trend (boys: B =0.25,girls: B =0.16, P <0.01). There were statistically significant differences in weight between boys and girls aged 7-18 in different years (boys: F =102.35-142.05, girls: F =98.03-140.59, P <0.01). Compared with 1985, the weight of urban boys and girls increased by 11.92 and 7.95 kg in 2019, as well as rural boys and girls by 11.36 and 5.61 kg, and the average weight gain of urban students was greater than that of rural students. From 1985 to 2019, the weight of urban boys and girls were higher than that of rural boys and girls (boys: t =30.12-37.55, girls: t =30.12-38.64, P <0.01). In 2005, the weight difference between urban and rural boys and girls was the largest, at 4.23 and 2.32 kg. The average weight of boys and girls in the age groups of 7-18 would continue to increase in 2025 and 2030; compared with 2019, the 7-year old age group for boys and the 17-year old age group for girls would have the largest growth in 2030 by 2.29 and 3.75 kg.
Conclusions
From 1985 to 2019, the weight of students aged 7-18 in Xinjiang showed an upward trend, and the weights of both boys and girls would gradually increase in 2025 and 2030. Attention should be paid to students physical health and adopt comprehensive measures to prevente overweight and obesity.

Abuse of amphetamine-based stimulants is a primary public health concern. Recent studies have underscored a troubling escalation in the inappropriate use of prescription amphetamine-based stimulants. However, the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the impact of acute methamphetamine exposure (AME) on sleep homeostasis remain to be explored. This study employed non-human primates and electroencephalogram (EEG) sleep staging to evaluate the influence of AME on neural oscillations. The primary focus was on alterations in spindles, delta oscillations, and slow oscillations (SOs) and their interactions as conduits through which AME influences sleep stability. AME predominantly diminishes sleep-spindle waves in the non-rapid eye movement 2 (NREM2) stage, and impacts SOs and delta waves differentially. Furthermore, the competitive relationships between SO/delta waves nesting with sleep spindles were selectively strengthened by methamphetamine. Complexity analysis also revealed that the SO-nested spindles had lost their ability to maintain sleep depth and stability. In summary, this finding could be one of the intrinsic electrophysiological mechanisms by which AME disrupted sleep homeostasis.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease whose main characteristic is the destruction of articular cartilage, causing pain and disability in patients and seriously affecting their quality of life. OA can be induced by a variety of causes, and pathological changes in articular cartilage are considered to be one of the key driving factors for the occurrence of OA. High mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1), as a non-histone protein in eukaryotic cells, can participate in regulating the inflammation and apoptosis process of OA chondrocytes, thus leading to the occurrence of OA. This article reviews the research on the mechanism of HMGB1 in OA chondrocytes, with a view to providing new ideas for the clinical prevention and treatment of OA.

Objective:To investigate the possible pathogenesis and possible risk factors of tinnitus related to female menopause.Methods:From April 2016 to October 2016, 59 female patients with menopausal syndrome were diagnosed in the menopause comprehensive management clinic. Tinnitus and menopause questionnaires were conducted, based on whether having tinnitus, those patients were divided into two groups: tinnitus group and no tinnitus group. Age, body mass index (BMI), Kupperman menopausal index (KMI) score, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level of patients in the two groups were analyzed. Menopausal symptoms, related medical history and possible related factors of tinnitus were statistically analyzed.Results:A total of 59 cases were collected, 22 of which were accompanied by tinnitus. The incidence of idiopathic tinnitus was 35.1% (20/57) because 2 cases of thyroid related tinnitus with clear etiology were removed. Complete data were obtained from 17 of 20 patients with idiopathic tinnitus and 26 of 37 patients without tinnitus. Age, BMI, menopause KMI score, hormone level, menopause symptoms and possible factors related to tinnitus were statistically analyzed between the two groups, and the incidence of headache was statistically different between the two groups ( χ2=9.098, P=0.003), but no other factors were statistically significant( P>0.05). The severity of insomnia and tinnitus were further analyzed ( χ2=2.841, P=0.417), and there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion:Headache history may be one of the high risk factors for the occurrence of menopausal tinnitus.
