Colon hydropathy implies that the filtrated water pumped into the rectum keeps regular colon squirm, and sweeps away poisonous excrements. The PC-based ryodoraku technique has played increasingly important role in the field of traditional Chinese medicine because of its advantages of better preventive diagnosis, less side effects and inexpensive medicare. Since the 1950’s, Dr. Nakatani Yoshio has developed the ryodoraku methodology to measure skin resistance for the purpose of preventive diagnosis based on Chinese acupuncture and the qi-field theory. From the viewpoint of the preventive medicine, rehabilitated smooth muscles and well-balanced probiotics would improve self-repair functions and reduce the carcinogen of the colon. However, long-lasting hydropathical process for existed products on the market may result in unpredictable side effects from the viewpoint of drug dynamics. On the other hand, repeated use of colonoscopes could not only be expensive but contaminative in considering of colon viruses. This paper is focused on the clinical research of the drug dynamics and the development of a PC-based technique in the colon hydropathy. A clinical platform with disposable optical fibers is schemed to assure the biomorphic balance of colon. Finally, clinical experiments are carefully schemed to justify the advantages of the proposed algorithm in Tse-En Clinic of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The PC-based ryodoraku technique has played increasingly important role in the field of traditional Chinese medicine because of its advantages of better preventive diagnosis, less side effects and inexpensive medicare. Since the 1950’s, Dr. Nakatani Yoshio has developed the ryodoraku methodology to measure skin resistance for the purpose of preventive diagnosis based on Chinese acupuncture and the qi-field theory. However, the physician can hardly measure and adjust the qi-field biological energy of the limb meridians because of the clinical complexities for the moving robotic platform handicappers. In this paper, the ryodoraku theory of the limb meridians is modified by the bladder meridian detection on the spinal cord of handicappers so that they can acquire better clinical therapy. A PC-based expert system is developed on the crystal panel to detect bladder energy and make real-time acupuncture therapy according to the qi-field reactions on the spinal meridian of the examinee. Finally, clinical experiments are carefully schemed to justify the advantages of the proposed algorithm in Tse-En Clinic of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Therapeutic Benefits

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder affecting a large number of people worldwide. Numerous studies have demonstrated that DM can cause damage to multiple systems, leading to complications such as heart disease, cancer, and cerebrovascular disorders. Numerous epidemiological studies have shown that DM is closely associated with dementia and cognition dysfunction, with recent research focusing on the role of DM-mediated cerebrovascular damage in dementia. Despite the therapeutic benefits of antidiabetic agents for the treatment of DM-mediated cognitive dysfunction, most of these pharmaceutical agents are associated with various undesirable side-effects and their long-term benefits are therefore in doubt. Early evidence exists to support the use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) interventions, which tend to have minimal toxicity and side-effects. More importantly, these TCM interventions appear to offer significant effects in reducing DM-related complications beyond blood glucose control. However, more research is needed to further validate these claims and to explore their relevant mechanisms of action. The aims of this paper are (1) to provide an updated overview on the association between DM and cognitive dysfunction and (2) to review the scientific evidence underpinning the use of TCM interventions for the treatment and prevention of DM-induced cognitive dysfunction and dementia.

Objective.The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of acupuncture on postlaparoscopic shoulder pain (PLSP) which is a common side effect in patients undergoing abdominal laparoscopic surgery.Methods.Patients with moderate to severe PLSP in spite of analgesic treatment, which were referred by the medical staff to the Complementary-Integrative Surgery Service (CISS) at our institution, were provided with acupuncture treatment. The severity of PLSP and of general pain was assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) from 0 to 10. Pain assessment was conducted prior to and two hours following acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture treatment was individualized based on traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis.Results.A total of 25 patients were evaluated during a 14-month period, from March 2011 to May 2012. A significant reduction in PLSP (mean reduction of6.4±2.3  P<0.0001) and general pain (mean reduction6.4±2.1  P<0.0001) were observed, and no significant side effects were reported.Conclusion.Individualized acupuncture treatments according to traditional Chinese medicine principles may improve postlaparoscopic shoulder pain and general pain when used in conjunction with conventional therapy. The primary findings of this study warrant verification in controlled studies.

Medicinal plants are a great source of medicine for treating various human ailments. Traditional use of herbal medicine, which was developed within an ethnic group before the development and spread of modern science, is the very basis and an integral part of various cultures. Different medicinal systems throughout the globe are still operational and use natural herbs for treating diseases. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, Kampo, Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), and Unani are some commonly found traditional medicinal systems in use today. They are used directly, or their secondary metabolites are used as anti-bacterial, antifungal, immunomodulators, anti-hair fall, and multiple other purposes. However, their blood purification properties prevent blood from toxicity. Hundreds of medicinal plants are used in Ayurveda for blood purification, particularly plants which are astringent or bitter (pungent or sharp tastes). In addition, medicinal herbs do not have side effects.

Abstract Huangqi (Astragalus membranaceus), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been used to ameliorate side effects of cancer chemotherapy in China. However, little is known about its molecular mechanisms. Here we show that induction of K562 or HEL cells with 1.5 mg/ml of Huangqi (Hex) (Components extracted from Huangqi) for 3–5 d results in the expression of β-globin gene in both cell lines and leads to terminal differentiation. Moreover, the apoptosis in HEL cells can be induced by increasing concentration of Huangqi (Hex) to 4.5 mg/ml for 3–5 d. Upregulation of Apaf-1, caspase-3 and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in HEL cells may play a crucial role in the process of apoptosis. The prospect of inducing expression of adult (β) globin gene and apoptosis selectively in cancer cells is obviously attractive from a therapeutic point of view.

Xiao-Chai-Hu-Tang (XCHT), a representative of previous edition of Formulas of Traditional Chinese Medicine and harmonizing formulas, has multiple pharmacological functions. However, a variety of side effects could be caused by misuse or abuse, ignoring the theory of diagnosis and treatment based on the combination of syndrome and disease differentiation. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the efficacy of XCHT, depending upon the individual patient’s condition. Among 98 patients treated with XCHT, most of the patients of syndromes could be cured after about two course. The therapeutic effect rate of prescribed XCHT in our 98 cases of treatment is 91.84% (90/98). In addition, the high frequently syndromes are consistent with Shanhanlun. With multiple years of experience, we believe that: patient feel pain and tenderness under the right costal arch is one of the symptoms of patients who fit for the treatment with XCHT.

Novel Coronavirus

: A novel coronavirus (2019-nCov) has wreak havoc across the globe, especially in USA, Italy, Spain, France, Iran, UK, and China. The coronavirus infections caused a pandemic (COVID-19) which is an acute infectious pneumonia of 21st Century. 2019-nCov, being novel in nature has brought the world to stand still and forced a global health emergency, which is attributed to the unavailability of viable antiviral drug, and the only options left are the supportive care and nonspecific treatment to improve the symptomatic conditions of patients. But still it is not a permanent solution and there is a need to find an effective antiviral drug. The earlier reported SARS-CoV and recently emerged SARS-CoV-2 have similar homology in terms of epidemiology, genomics and pathogenesis, and it has been observed that the SARS-CoV was contained by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Thus, this review is summarising the information of natural traditional medicine including Indian Ayurvedic Medicine and TCM having antiviral potential which were used to control earlier pandemics and their candidacy for the new drug development to control the COVID-19. In the wake of the current unprecedented situation, it is imperative to find effective and novel anti-SARS-CoV-2 agents by exploring the traditional medicine which would be highly precise in action with minimal side effects.
