3.Formation and Theoretical Explanation of the Exterior-Interior Relationships among Channels in The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》)
Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2025;66(1):6-11
Regarding the pathway and distribution of twelve channels, the current general view emphasizes their longitudinal distribution along the surface of the human body. Based on such a positioning, it is difficult to interpret the three yin and three yang "opening-closing- pivoting" theory, and the theory of the six channels transmission of externally-contracted febrile disease. Through combing the relevant contents in The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》), it is proposed that, in addition to the longitudinal regional distribution of the channels on the human body, they also exhibit characteristics of layered distribution between the exterior and interior. The formation of this theory stems from the combination of body tissue and channels, that is, the taiyang governs the function of skin, yangming governs the function of flesh, and shaoyang governs the function of bone; taiyin governs the function of spleen and stomach, jueyin governs the function of liver, and shaoyin governs the function of heart. The process of integration of the channels with the body tissues has a relatively clear imprint in the syndrome differentiation of febrile disease in The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor. The exterior-interior relationships of channels are the foundation and prerequisite for the theory of the three yin and three yang "opening-closing-pivoting" and the theory of the six channels transmission in Plain Questions·Treatise on Heat (《素问·热论篇》).

Sleep is an instinctive behavior alternating awakening state, sleep entails many active processes occurring at the cellular, circuit and organismal levels. The function of sleep is to restore cellular energy, enhance immunity, promote growth and development, consolidate learning and memory to ensure normal life activities. However, with the increasing of social pressure involved in work and life, the incidence of sleep disorders (SD) is increasing year by year. In the short term, sleep disorders lead to impaired memory and attention; in the longer term, it produces neurological dysfunction or even death. There are many ways to directly or indirectly contribute to sleep disorder and keep the hormones, including pharmacological alternative treatments, light therapy and stimulus control therapy. Exercise is also an effective and healthy therapeutic strategy for improving sleep. The intensities, time periods, and different types of exercise have different health benefits for sleep, which can be found through indicators such as sleep quality, sleep efficiency and total sleep time. So it is more and more important to analyze the mechanism and find effective regulation targets during sleep disorder through exercise. Dopamine (DA) is an important neurotransmitter in the nervous system, which not only participates in action initiation, movement regulation and emotion regulation, but also plays a key role in the steady-state remodeling of sleep-awakening state transition. Appreciable evidence shows that sleep disorder on humans and rodents evokes anomalies in the dopaminergic signaling, which are also implicated in the development of psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia or substance abuse. Experiments have shown that DA in different neural pathways plays different regulatory roles in sleep behavior, we found that increasing evidence from rodent studies revealed a role for ventral tegmental area DA neurons in regulating sleep-wake patterns. DA signal transduction and neurotransmitter release patterns have complex interactions with behavioral regulation. In addition, experiments have shown that exercise causes changes in DA homeostasis in the brain, which may regulate sleep through different mechanisms, including cAMP response element binding protein signal transduction, changes in the circadian rhythm of biological clock genes, and interactions with endogenous substances such as adenosine, which affect neuronal structure and play a neuroprotective role. This review aims to introduce the regulatory effects of exercise on sleep disorder, especially the regulatory mechanism of DA in this process. The analysis of intracerebral DA signals also requires support from neurophysiological and chemical techniques. Our laboratory has established and developed an in vivo brain neurochemical analysis platform, which provides support for future research on the regulation of sleep-wake cycles by movement. We hope it can provide theoretical reference for the formulation of exercise prescription for clinical sleep disorder and give some advice to the combined intervention of drugs and exercise.

ObjectiveBased on the adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase/protein kinase B/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (AMPK/Akt/Nrf2) pathway, this study aims to explore the mechanism by which modified Guishenwan improves glucose and lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) rats. MethodsA PCOS rat model was established by continuous oral administration of letrozole (1 mg·kg-1·d-1) for 21 days. Successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into a model group, a metformin group (0.25 g·kg-1), and low-, medium-, and high-dose modified Guishenwan groups (4.01, 8.02, and 16.04 g·kg-1·d-1), with 8 rats in each group. Ten normal rats were assigned to the normal group. The drug groups were given their respective doses, while the normal and model groups were given an equal volume of normal saline. Intervention lasted for 4 weeks. Testosterone (T), estradiol (E2), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the LH/FSH ratio was calculated. Fasting blood glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), triglyceride (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) levels were measured using an automatic biochemical analyzer, and the insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and insulin sensitivity index (HOMA-ISI) were calculated. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT) were conducted. Malondialdehyde (MDA), advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in serum and ovarian tissue were measured using a chemical fluorescence method. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to assess ovarian tissue pathology. Real-time quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot were used to measure the expression of AMPK/Akt/Nrf2 pathway-related genes and proteins in ovarian tissue. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group exhibited significantly increased levels of T, LH, LH/FSH, FPG, FINS, TG, TC, and HOMA-IR, while FSH, E2, and HOMA-ISI were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). MDA and AGEs levels were significantly higher in both serum and ovarian tissue, and SOD levels were significantly reduced (P<0.05). AMPK, Akt, and Nrf2 mRNA and protein expression in ovarian tissue was also significantly reduced (P<0.05). The OGTT and ITT results showed significantly higher blood glucose levels at each time point (P<0.05, P<0.01), with impaired glucose and insulin tolerance. Ovarian follicles showed polycystic changes, reduced corpus luteum, and sparse granulosa cell layers. Compared with the model group, the metformin group and the high-dose modified Guishenwan group showed significant decreases in T, LH, LH/FSH, FPG, FINS, TG, TC, and HOMA-IR, while FSH, E2, and HOMA-ISI were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). In the high-dose modified Guishenwan group, MDA and AGEs levels in serum and ovarian tissue were significantly reduced, and SOD levels were significantly increased (P<0.05). The mRNA and protein expression of AMPK, Akt, and Nrf2 in ovarian tissue was significantly increased (P<0.05). OGTT and ITT results showed that blood glucose levels in rats decreased significantly at each time point (P<0.05, P<0.01). No obvious abnormalities were observed in ovarian tissue. Compared with the low-dose modified Guishenwan group, the high-dose group showed significant decreases in T, LH, LH/FSH, FPG, FINS, TG, TC, and HOMA-IR, while FSH, E2, and HOMA-ISI were significantly increased (P<0.05). OGTT and ITT results indicated that the high-dose modified Guishenwan group significantly improved glucose and insulin tolerance in rats. No significant abnormalities were observed in ovarian tissue. ConclusionModified Guishenwan effectively improves glucose and lipid metabolism abnormalities and inhibits oxidative stress in PCOS rats, potentially through regulation of the AMPK/Akt/Nrf2 pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the antitumor effect and mechanism of Guiqi Yiyuan ointment on Lewis lung cancer mice based on the extracellular regulatory protein kinase (ERK) signaling pathway. MethodsA Lewis lung cancer mouse model was established. Except for the blank group, the model mice were randomly divided into the model group, Guiqi Yiyuan ointment low, medium, and high dose groups, and the extracellular ERK1/2 inhibitor group, with 10 mice per group. The Guiqi Yiyuan ointment was administered by gavage at doses of 1.75, 3.5, 7.0 g·kg-1·d-1 for the low, medium, and high dose groups, respectively. The ERK1/2 inhibitor group was given the ERK1/2 inhibitor LY3214996 (100 mg·kg-1·d-1) by gavage. The treatment was administered for 14 consecutive days, after which samples were collected. Tumor histopathological changes were observed using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe ultrastructural changes in tumor cells. Immunofluorescence was performed to measure the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2) and the expression of programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) in tumor tissues. Western blot and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) were used to detect the expression of p-ERK1/2, PD-L1, the autophagy marker Beclin-1, the autophagic protein p62, and the microtubule-associated protein light chains LC3Ⅰ and LC3Ⅱ at both the protein and gene levels. ResultsCompared with the model group, the average tumor weight was significantly reduced in the low and medium dose groups of Guiqi Yiyuan ointment (P<0.05), and markedly reduced in the high dose and inhibitor groups (P<0.01). Tumor cells in all treatment groups became progressively irregular, with ruptured nuclei and expanded areas of cell disintegration and necrosis. The number of organellar ablations in tumor tissues increased, and the number of autophagic vesicles also increased in all groups. The mean fluorescence intensity of p-ERK1/2 and PD-L1 was reduced in the low and medium dose groups of Guiqi Yiyuan ointment (P<0.05), and significantly reduced in the high dose and inhibitor groups (P<0.01). The mRNA expression of ERK1/2, PD-L1, Beclin-1, and p62 was reduced in the medium dose group (P<0.05), while LC3Ⅰ/Ⅱ mRNA expression was elevated (P<0.05). In the high dose and inhibitor groups, mRNA expression of ERK1/2, PD-L1, Beclin-1, and p62 was significantly reduced (P<0.01), while LC3Ⅰ/Ⅱ mRNA expression was significantly increased (P<0.01). Protein expression of p-ERK1/2, PD-L1, Beclin-1, and p62 was reduced in the medium dose group (P<0.05), and LC3Ⅰ/Ⅱ protein expression was elevated (P<0.05). In the high dose and inhibitor groups, protein expression of p-ERK1/2, PD-L1, Beclin-1, and p62 was significantly reduced (P<0.01), while LC3Ⅰ/Ⅱ protein expression was significantly elevated (P<0.01). ConclusionGuiqi Yiyuan ointment may inhibit the activation of the ERK signaling pathway, downregulate the expression of p-ERK1/2, promote autophagic flux in tumor cells, and regulate the expression of PD-L1, thereby exerting an inhibitory effect on tumor growth in Lewis lung cancer mice.

Methods:
Using data from the China Nutrition and Health System Survey and Application Program for Children 0-18 years old, 56 734 children aged 6-17 years old from North, Norththeast East, Central, South, Southwest and Northwest seven regions in China were selected for the study using stratified cluster random sampling from 2019 to 2021. A food frequency questionnaire was used to investigate the intake frequency of eight food groups in a month, including fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, livestock and poultry meats, aquatic products, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and cereals and potatoes. The foods were grouped according to whether they met the recommended intake criteria outlined in the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents 2022. The〖KG*2〗χ2 test was used to compare the differences in the proportion of childrens intake frequency of each food group meeting the standard in different regions and age groups.
Results:
The proportions of Chinese children aged 6-17 years who consumed fresh vegetables and cereals and potatoes ≥3 times/d were 12.1% and 67.2%, respectively. The proportions of children who consumed fresh fruits, livestock and poultry meats, eggs and dairy products ≥1 time/d were 50.8%, 58.8%, 36.0% and 54.3%, respectively. The proportion of legumes consumed ≥4 times/week was 37.4%, and the proportion of aquatic products consumed ≥2 times/week was 39.7%. Fresh vegetables (5.5%), fresh fruits (33.1%), and dairy products (36.4%) had the lowest frequency of meeting the recommended standards in South China, and aquatic products (27.4%) and eggs (21.1%) had the lowest frequency of meeting the recommended standards in Northwest (P<0.008 3).
Conclusion
The overall intake frequency of fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, legumes, and dairy products are insufficient among Chinese children, with significant regional variations.
