Exploring the treatment for functional constipation in children based on the theory of "brain-gut axis" WANG Peng, XUE Zheng. 2024, 16 (3):  226-229.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-3865.2024.03.009 Abstract ( 631 )   PDF (1021KB) ( 777 )   Save Functional constipation(FC) is a kind of functional intestinal disease with the main clinical manifestations of difficulty in defecation, reduced frequency of defecation or incomplete defecation, and it is one of the common and frequently-encountered diseases in pediatrics, which will seriously affect the children's quality of life and psychological health, and bring certain troubles to the children and their families. In recent years, with the gradual deepening of the research on the "brain-gut axis", more and more evidence have shown that there is a close connection between the brain and the intestine, and the "brain-gut axis" is a neuro-endogenous network system mechanism of bidirectional transportation mechanism between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract, which is composed of the central nervous system, the autonomic nervous system, and the enteric nervous system. The "brain-gut axis" as a neuro-endocrine network system consisting of the central nervous system, autonomic nervous system and enteric nervous system to liaise between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract, brain-gut peptides are able to connect and regulate the various aspects of the interaction of the "brain-gut axis", and the production development of FC is also closely related to the "brain-gut axis". In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the pathogenesis of constipation is a conduction disorder in the large intestine, and the brain and intestine are closely related. The brain resides in the upper part of the brain body, which governs the five viscera and six bowels, and the intestine resides in the lower part of the intestine, which transmits and transforms the dregs and affects the human body's qi, and when the intestine and bowels are functions smoothly, then the spirit of the government is bright mind is clear. The physiology of the brain and intestine is connected in physiology and related to each other in pathology, and the dysfunction of the brain and the intestine jointly leads to the occurrence of FC in children. Based on the theory of "brain-gut axis", and combined with Chinese medicine theory and etiology, this paper discusses the influence of "brain-gut axis" on children's FC, and analyzes the treatment for children's functional constipation based on the theory of "brain-gut axis".  Related Articles | Metrics

Exploring the TCM mechanism of tic disorder based on liver and Shaoyang constitution in children LIU Ying, ZHONG Mingxiu, SONG Bangguo, ZHANG Di 2024, 16 (3):  265-269.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-3865.2024.03.018 Abstract ( 1180 )   PDF (1028KB) ( 1088 )   Save The onset of tic disorders starts in childhood and adolescence,belonging to neuropsychiatric disorders.With the development of society and the increase of external stimulation,the cases of this disease also have a trend of increase year by year.The whole process of children′s development reflects the characteristics of the liver,and children′s constitution conforms to the characteristics of the liver:if liver qi is peaceful and liver blood is sufficient,children are in normal development;if liver yang is excessive,liver yin is deficient,or liver and kidney do not coordinate,liver wind moves inside,and the symptoms of tic disorders appear.In addition,the improper management of external stimuli results in liver qi stagnation,which also produces internal changes.Based on this,the physiological characteristics of the liver and children′s physical characteristics are taken into account to explore the relationship between the two as well as the connection between the liver and other viscera,and to analyze tic disorders from the perspective of the relationship between the liver and Shaoyang constitution.The following measures has a certain guidance in the treatment of initial and prolonged difficult tic disorder:taking the liver as the main point,regulating the five organs and combining the internal treatment with external treatment together.

Application of Qian Yi′s academic thought of "spleen-dominating-trapped" in the diagnosis and treatment of infantile diarrhea by Professor  Qin YanhongLIU Yongqi, QIN Yanhong, ZHANG Xixi, ZHANG Xiaojie. 2024, 16 (3):  269-272.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-3865.2024.03.019 Abstract ( 700 )   PDF (1013KB) ( 44 )   Save Childhood diarrhea is a prevalent and recurrent pediatric disease that can result in malnutrition and directly impacts the growth and development of children.It is one of the four major illnesses identified by the Ministry of Health which especially requires prevention and treatment.Professor Qin Yanhong thinks that the internal cause of diarrhea is asthenic susceptibility of spleen，which leads to the endogenous dampness，which interact with each other.If the treatment is not appropriate，the spleen and kidney Yang may fail over time，and the prognosis is poor.Combining Qian Yi′s academic thought of "spleen-dominating-trapped" with clinical experience，Prof.Qin Yanhong proposes that "spleen being trapped and wetness winning" is the key pathogenesis of infantile diarrhea.Prof.Qin develops the self-made decoction to regulate spleen by warming yang and activating the spleen，which has a good clinical effect.The purpose of this article is to introduce Professor Qin Yanhong′s understanding of the pathogenesis of infantile diarrhea "spleen being trapped wetness winning",the professor′s further development of the theory of activating spleen,as well as Professor Qin Yanhong′s clinical experience in the treatment of infantile diarrhea by using decoction for warming,combining the internal with the external treatment and by prevention and regulation.The attached case is provided for the purpose of verification.

Professor Li Xinmin′s experience in treating simple hematuria in children WANG Huizhe, LI Xinmin, HAN Yaowei, LI Huanmin, YANG Shuo, WANG Ziyu. 2024, 16 (3):  273-276.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-3865.2024.03.020 Abstract ( 524 )   PDF (1014KB) ( 45 )   Save Professor Li Xinmin′s clinical treatment for simple hematuria in children is guided by traditional Chinese medicine principles and formulas.Based on the differentiation of Wei Qi Ying Xue syndrome,Zang Fu syndrome,and San Jiao syndrome,he uses multi-dimensional syndrome differentiation as his treatment approach and seeks common points from the intersection of multiple syndrome differentiation systems.It is believed that pathogenic heat factors run through the entire process of hematuria in children,and this disease is divided into the following four types:wind heat invasion and disturbance of the kidney meridians;spleen deficiency and liver heat and blood not following meridians;spleen dysfunction and loss of overall control; heat burning inside and forced blood circulation.Corresponding treatment methods have been proposed for different types of syndromes:dispersing wind and promoting lung function,clearing upper jiao,clearing collaterals and cooling blood;soothing the liver and regulating the spleen,dispersing middle-jiao,clearing heat and cooling blood;smoothing the flow and regulating the middle,reducing the bitterness,strengthening the spleen and retaining blood;clearing heat and purging fire,harmonizing collaterals and removing blood stasis,cooling blood and stopping bleeding.Based on the unique constitution of children,the medicines with slightly bitter and slightly pungent ingredients are usually chosen to alleviate external pathogenic factors;the taste of bitterness is selected to regulate the overall qi circulation;the combination of cold,warm,dry,and moisturizing drugs are chosen to be in line with the characteristics of the organs.Based on the four elements of pathogenesis,the properties and flavors of drugs are flexibly used to cleverly coordinate the functions of the organs and regulate the qi of the organs,not sticking to the current syndrome state of the disease,but using a dynamic dialectical approach,which leads to a more advantageous treatment plan for the disease from the aspects of treatment method combination and drug compatibility.It has been clinically proven to have significant therapeutic effects,and is supported by one typical medical case.
