Abstract

Depression is a disease with which man would be in a low mental state and have decreased physiological vitality. The author thinks that this disease is located in the Shaoyang Channels, with the heart, liver, kidney, spleen and stomach involved. However, the affection always centers in the Shaoyang Channels. The functional activities, the ascending and descending, in and out of qi in the other organs, all depend on the generation and development of gallbladder-qi and the function of the gallbladder in pivoting qi. "The qi activities in the twelve channels must be inspired by the qi activities of the liver and gallbladder, and can disease only be avoided when qi in these organs has got free flow." Abnormal distribution of the ministerial fire constitutes the basic mechanism for the onset of depression. According to the pathogeneses and clinical manifestations, the syndrome of depression can be divided into three types, namely, flaming-up of gallbladder-fire, stagnation in Shaoyang and failure of ministerial fire in dispersing, and stagnation in Shaoyang and insufficiency of ministerial fire. The deficiency and excess of vital-qi and pathogenic factors of the three types are different. Based on the principle of 'soothing the depr...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
