文摘New cyclodextrin derivatives （CDs）, heptakis（2, 6-di- O-methyl-3- O-methoxymethyl）-β-CD （ Ⅰ ） and heptakis（2, 3, 6-tri-O-methoxymethyl）-β-CD （ Ⅱ ）, were investigated for their chromatographic performance as stationary phases for capillary gas chromatography （CGC）. Both of the CDs exhibited good selectivity and satisfactory separation for test mixtures and aromatic positional isomers, and volatile compounds from Ligusticurn chuanxiong Hort. Additionally, the selectivity and elution orders of major compounds were compared with a well-recognized commercial column on the basis of the results by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry （GC-MS）. The present work demonstrates the good selectivity of the two new CDs and can be used as GC stationary phases for the separation of positional isomers and analytes in complex samples.
文摘Acute myeloid leukemia(AML)is a form of cancer characterized by infiltration of proliferative,clonal,and abnormally differentiated cells of the hematopoietic system into the bone marrow,blood,and other tissues.Clinically,the eligible AML patients first receive induction therapy to achieve complete remission(CR).Unfortunately,minimal residual diseases usually persist in CR,which will inevitably lead to relapse if treatment is discontinued.In traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),it is believed that the weakness of healthy qi is one of the basic pathologies of leukemia after remission,and is also the major cause for relapse.This article primarily investigated the key points of common syndromes,TCM nursing methods and healthy guidance of AML,aiming at maintaining and developing the strengths of TCM,improving its efficacy and standardizing its behavior.
文摘Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) contains profound scientific connotation and has great potential in guiding the future development of bioscience,thus becoming the Chinese Treasure of Ancient Science and the Key to Open the Treasury of Chinese Civilization. 13^(th) Five-Year Special Project for Scientific Innovation of Traditional Chinese Medicine has proposed to promote the standardization and internalization of TCM,including implementation of TCM standardized action,establishment of TCM standard system to complete system and adapt development requirements,establishment of a standard system for TCM that can complete system and meets the requirement of development to capture the advantages in international standardization competition,so as to seize the leadership and discourse power in the establishment of TCM international standardization;to promote the implementing great scientific TCM plan to accelerate the international registration of brand-name and high-quality TCM,expedite TCM service and products entering into international main markets of medicines and heath care,propel the scientific cooperation and application of TCM in various countries along One Belt and One Road(B & R),and create Chinese standards and brands,so as to promote the TCM moving towards the whole world.
文摘ABSTRACT:Knee osteoarthritis(KOA),a complicated peripheral joint disorder,can be caused by non-modifiable and modifiable risk factors.At present,the treatment for osteoarthritis is mainly to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.Although some patients with osteoarthritis may choose pharmacological agents for pain relief,it has been confirmed that a variety of preparations and doses of pharmacological agents were ineffective.In recent years,Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has been shown unique superiorities in the treatment of osteoarthritis,including KOA.Therefore,this article primarily investigated the key points of common syndromes,TCM nursing methods and healthy guidance of KOA,aiming at maintaining and developing the strengths of TCM,improving its efficacy and standardizing its behavior.
文摘Facial paralysis is defined as severe or complete loss of facial muscle motor function possibly due to peripheral or central lesions.Currently,there are no effective treatment modalities for facial paralysis in western medicine.In Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM),it is believed to be associated with malnutrition of facial muscles caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis due to wind-cold invasion.This article primarily investigated the key points of common syndromes,TCM nursing methods and healthy guidance of facial paralysis,aiming at maintaining and developing the strengths of TCM,improving its efficacy and standardizing its behavior.
文摘Fever caused by exogenous pathogens,also called upper respiratory infection( URI),refers to a classification of exogenous diseases induced by invasion of six pathogenic factors into the body leading to disharmony betw een nutrient Qi and defensive Qi and imbalance of Yin and Yang. As an extremely common symptom or sign,it is frequently seen in various processes of acute and chronic diseases. In recent years,traditional Chinese medicine( TCM) has achieved a certain efficacy in the treatment of fever caused by exogenous pathogens,such as modified formulae,Chinese patent drugs,self-made formulae,acupuncture,moxibustion and so on.This article mainly explored the key points of common syndromes,TCM nursing methods and health guidance of fever caused by exogenous pathogens,in order to further develop the advantages of TCM,improve its efficacy and standardize its nursing behavior.
