Syndrome differentiation is the characteristic and soul of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which has certain advantages in treatment hyperthyroidism. TCM mainly divides its syndrome into four types: exuberant liver fire type, yin deficiency qi-yin type phlegm stagnation type. This paper summarizes hyperthyroidism by differentiation, order to provide some reference for this disease.

In this paper. (1) We determine the complex-valued solutions of the following variant of Van Vleck's functional equation $$int_{S}f(sigma(y)xt)dmu(t)-int_{S}f(xyt)dmu(t) = 2f(x)f(y), ;x,yin S,$$ where $S$ is a semigroup, $sigma$ is an involutive morphism of $S$, and $mu$ is a complex measure that is linear combinations of Dirac measures $(delta_{z_{i}})_{iin I}$, such that for all $iin I$, $z_{...

Previous studies have reported phonetic characteristics of the Shanghai Chinese phonological voicing contrast, which cooccurs with a tonal contrast. In stressed word-initial position, phonetic voicing is neutralized and replaced with a tonal register contrast: high ‘yin’ tones for (phonologically) voiceless and low ‘yang’ tones for voiced obstruents. Furthermore, breathy vs. modal voice quality...

The present study investigated the effect of treatment with methanolic extracts Yin- and Yang-Chinese tonifying herbs on concanavalin A (Con A)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated splenocyte proliferation (adaptive immunity) natural killer (NK) cell activity (innate in an ex vivo mouse model. results indicated that while most Yin herbal potentiated Con A/LPS-stimulated proliferation, only Yang ...

This article provides an overview on a series of original studies conducted by the author. The aim here is to present the ideas that the author reconstructed, based on the dialectics of harmonization, regarding harmony and conflict embodied in traditional Chinese thought, and to describe how a formal psychological theory/model on interpersonal harmony and conflict was developed based on the Yin...

The recent introduction into the Western World of ephedrine, an alkaloid of the Chinese drug Ma Huang which has been included in the Chinese pharmacopoeia for five thousand years, has stimulated study of other obscure Chinese drugs. In order to view the field in its true perspective, a brief survey of the history of Chinese medicine, particularly in relation to the Chinese materia mnedica, is e...

The monoamine neurotransmitter, serotonin, critically regulates the function of the cerebral cortex and is involved in psychiatric disorders. Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of serotonin with the neuron-specific TPH2 isoform present exclusively in the brain and encoded by the TPH2 gene on chromosome 12q21. The haplotype structure of TPH2 was defined for...
