淺析傳統中醫理論中的中和之道

本文从中和观的角度探讨了《周易》哲学对传统中医理论的影响，认为易理和医理都同样强调阴阳和谐的中正之道，要求阴阳当位、守正而用中，以保持事物的平衡和稳定，主张顺从天地之道，与自然界和谐共处，贵生广爱，追求“提挈天地，把握阴阳”的至善境界。《周易》哲学的中和理念实际上贯穿了整个传统中医的理论和临床。This paper has explored the influence of the philosophy of the Harmonious View in the “The Book of Changes” on TCM theories. It suggests that both of them emphasize the balance of Yin and Yang, requires that all things have to keep in balance and stability, and advocates to obeying the law of the nature. The philosophy of Harmonious View in the “The Book of Changes” has run throughout the theories of TCM and clinical practice.published_or_final_versio

Study on the interaction between DNA-binding domain (DBD) of human androgen receptor (AR) and SWIRM domain of lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1)

Poster Presentation: abstract no. A09Gene regulations of prokaryotes and eukaryotes are different. Prokaryotic gene regulation requires simply binding of regulatory proteins to help with or avoid forming transcription complex. For eukaryotes like humans, however, their regulation needs “chromatin remodeling” with the association of regulatory proteins involving the opening up of DNA‐histone protein complex chromatin and unwinding DNA. Without remodeling, RNA polymerases responsible of the transcription process cannot get access and perform …postprin

Combined diversity sequence estimation receiver for wideband digital mobile radio

An investigation is presented into the performance of a novel type of sequence estimation equalisation receiver. The receiver incorporates space diversity to further enhance the signal reception in multipath fading environments. It is shown that the receiver complexity is reduced by approx. 90% with virtually no performance loss compared to that of the MLSE.published_or_final_versio

The Origin of Meridians

This article explores the origin of meridians. It suggests that the origin of meridians is closely related to the imageries derived by ancient physicians experiencing the circulation of Qi in their bodies during Qigong practice. Based on the cognitive experience from Qigong practice, as well as the symbolic analogy of the flow of rivers and the irrigation system of agriculture, the meridian theory has constructed a model of Qi and blood circulation. Such model is abstract and yet concrete, dialectic and yet intuitive, definite and yet vague, integrated and yet independent, having profound influence on the overall formation of traditional Chinese medicine theories.published_or_final_versio

Acupuncture for frozen shoulder

This randomised controlled trial was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture as a treatment for frozen shoulder. Thirty-five patients with a diagnosis of frozen shoulder were randomly allocated to an exercise group or an exercise plus acupuncture group and treated for a period of 6 weeks. Functional mobility, power, and pain were assessed by a blinded assessor using the Constant Shoulder Assessment, at baseline, 6 weeks and 20 weeks. Analysis was based on the intention-to-treat principle. Compared with the exercise group, the exercise plus acupuncture group experienced significantly greater improvement with treatment. Improvements in scores by 39.8% (standard deviation, 27.1) and 76.4% (55.0) were seen for the exercise and the exercise plus acupuncture groups, respectively at 6 weeks (P=0.048), and were sustained at the 20-week re-assessment (40.3% [26.7] and 77.2% [54.0], respectively; P=0.025). We conclude that the combination of acupuncture with shoulder exercise may offer effective treatment for frozen shoulder.published_or_final_versio
