"发为血之余"的理论探讨

Objective: To explore the relationship of hair‘s changes with blood deficiency and testify the clinic significant of the theory of “bair being surplus of blood“. Methods: Observe patients with blood deficiency and their abnormal hair, and statistic data with regress analysis, x2 analysis and T test. Results: The degree of hair‘s abnormity correlate directly with blood deficiency;the occurrence rate of the hair‘s abnormity is higher than the control group obviously;the degree of the hair‘s abnormity also has a significant difference between case and control groups. The results prove that the theory of hair “being surplus of blood“ is right.     

"知信行"方法的文献学研究

Objective To master the status of"Knowledge Attitude Practice"(KAP)methodology used in China by philological research.Methods Choosing the appropriate key words to retrieve the literatures based on CNKI total library,removing the false one by intensive reading,and analyzing the valid literatures in different ways based on which subject.Results①The amount of related literatures rising steadily from the middle of 1990's and remarkably since 2000.②The over 2000 valid literatures were mostly distributed in the healthcare field,and the most common subjects related in which were disease control,nourishment,smoking control,sex,conception control,drug abuse etc.③Not all of the research reported in the literatures performed the 3 core elements of KAP, and most of the literatures did not mention about the special interference on the targets,let alone the result analysis of the interference.④There were few literature whose main topic is KAP methodology.⑤The terms used for representing the KAP concept are not standardized.Conclusion ①The KAP methodology had been introduced into China and had been widely used in many fields.but the Chinese concept and terms of which should be more standardized,and the usage of which in some special application should be more advanced.②The KAP methodology Can be used and should be useful in TCM healthcare monitoring.

Why the "sugars" in traditional Unani formulations are a pivotal component: A viewpoint perspective

Traditional medicine systems around the globe, like Unani, Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine,include a number of sugar-based formulations, which contain a large amount of saccharide-containing sweetener, such as honey, sucrose or jaggery. With pervasive lifestyle disorders throughout the world,there have been discussions to consider alternative sweetening agents. Here, from the perspective of Unani medicine, we discuss how the saccharide-based sweeteners may be an essential component of ...
