    Abstract ETHNIC PHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: "Yin-Jing" medicine (YJM) has been widely used by both ancient and modern Chinese medicine practitioners during long-term clinical practice. However, it remains unclear how to best guide other medicines to the targeted organs in a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription. Here, in an attempt to explain the scientific connotation of the YJM property (YJMP) attributed to a basic TCM theory, Platycodon grandiflorum (PG) was chosen as a case study to reveal the mystery of YJMP theory.
    Aim of the study: The main purpose of this study is to employ modern chemical and molecular biology methods to confirm the "Yin-Jing" effect of PG, and further clarify its material basis and related possible mechanism.
    Materials and methods: The ammonia-induced lung injury rat model was utilized to determine the optimal dosage of traditional prescription Hui Yan Zhu Yu decoction (HYZYD) using Wright Giemsa staining, HE staining, Masson staining, and TUNEL analysis. With the same way, PG was confirmed to have potentiating therapeutic effect (PTE) by comparison with HYZYD and [HYZYD-PG]. TMT proteomics was used to reveal the "Yin-Jing" mechanism of action. Western blot assay (WB) was employed for verification of differentially expressed proteins. Additionally, four non-crossing fragmentations (Fr. A-D) were characterized by RPLC/SEC-ELSD and HILIC-ESI
    Results: The HYZYD-M (medium dose group) significantly improved the lung injury level in a pneumonia model of rats. PG enhanced the therapeutic effect of HYZYD ascribed to Yin-Jing PTE functions. TMT proteomics revealed a category of differentially expressed proteins ascribed to Golgi-ER between HYZYD and [HYZYD-PG]. Fr. C (i.e., saponins) and Fr. D (i.e., lipids) were determined as therapeutic fragmentations via the LPS-induced A549 cell injury model; however, Fr. B (fructooligosaccharides and small M
    Conclusions: Fr. B is believed to be a key YJMP material basis of PG attributed to Yin-Jing PTE with characteristic of lung-oriented guidance property, whereas another abound Fr. C was determined to have synergistic effects rather than Yin-Jing material basis.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. (Chuanxiong, LC), as an important traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), can not only be used as a monarch herb but also be used as a classic "Yin-Jing" () medicine in compound prescriptions, e.g., Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BHD). Although LC has the effect of guiding components into the brain in BHD, there is still a lack of scientific evidence on this "Yin-Jing" effects. Herein, we used pharmacokinetics and tissue distributions to investigate "Yin-Jing" effects of LC. To simplify the study, four major constituents in BHD, i.e., Calycosin (CA), astragaloside IV (AI), paeoniflorin (PA), and amygdalin (AM) were combined to form a simple compound (abbreviated as CAPA here) to replace the original BHD in this paper. The Yin-Jing medical property of LC was confirmed by the compatibility of CAPA with LC or its different fractions (Fr. A ∼ Fr. F).
    Aim of the study: To explore the "Yin-Jing" medical property of LC via pharmacokinetics and tissue distributions by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC-QQQ-MS).
    Materials and methods: The contents of CA, AI, PA, and AM were simultaneously determined by the established and validated UPLC-QQQ-MS method in different rat tissues and plasma after administration of CAPA with the combination of LC or Fr. A ∼ Fr. F. The pharmacokinetic parameters, e.g., T
    Results: The C
    Conclusions: LC has the function of Yin-Jing, especially guiding the components into the brain tissue. Moreover, Fr. B and Fr. C is suggested to be the pharmacodynamic material basis for the effect of Yin-Jing of LC. These finding explained that it was recommended to add LC into some prescriptions for treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by Qi deficiency and blood stasis. This has laid a certain foundation for the research on the Yin-Jing efficacy of LC to better clarify the theory of TCM and guide the clinical application of Yin-Jing drugs.

    Abstract Polygonatum sibiricum is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb and can also be used as tea and ornamental plant. During 2016 to 2018, a disease with symptoms similar to gray mold was extensively observed on leaves of P. sibiricum in the Sichuan Province of China. The pathogen was isolated from the diseased plants and identified as Botrytis cinerea based on the morphological features and Internal transcribed spacer (ITS), DNA dependent RNA polymerase subunit II gene (RPB2), heat-shock protein 60 gene (HSP60) and ATP-dependent RNA helicase DBP7 gene (MS547) all of which showed 99.89%–99.91% identities to the reported B. cinerea strains. Pathogenicity was confirmed through inoculation experiments fulfilling Koch's postulates. To our knowledge, this is the first report of B. cinerea causing gray mold disease on P. sibiricum in China.

    Abstract Air quality in China is increasingly improving, but the situation facing the atmosphere environment is still dire. Regional atmospheric environmental problems characterized by PM2.5 pollutants are becoming increasingly prominent, especially in the Jing-Jin-Ji (3J) region. This study employs the generalized Divisia index approach to decompose the factors that influence the changes of PM2.5 emission in the 3J region. It is divided into 8 factors: scale effect of regional economy, scale effect of regional energy consumption, scale effect of investment in treatment of environment pollution (ITEP), technology effect of energy efficient utilization, technology effect of clean energy utilization technology, the intensity effect of regional green economic development, the intensity effect of investment in treatment of regional PM2.5 emission, and the intensity effect of regional environmental regulation. To identify the vital driving force of the change of PM2.5 emission, the contribution of each driving factor of PM2.5 emission variation is analyzed. The results show that the factors affecting the change of PM2.5 emission are almost the same, but the contribution of each factor is apparently different in the 3J region. The level of regional economic development and the scale of energy consumption promoted the increase of PM2.5 emission in the region. The growth of PM2.5 emission can be effectively controlled by green economic development intensity, energy clean utilization technology, environmental regulation intensity, and the intensity of investment in treatment of PM2.5 emission. Energy efficiency has a slight effect on the changes of PM2.5 emission. ITEP has a negative effect on the changes of PM2.5 emission. In the future, the 3J region needs to optimize the structure of ITEP further and implement the refinement and precision of pollution treatment. Moreover, it also needs to promote the development of energy clean and efficient use of technological innovation to drive PM2.5 emission reduction.

    Abstract Research has shown that there is huge amount of transfer of carbon emissions embodied in trade (CEs-ET) between developed and underdeveloped regions, which causes equity and efficiency losses in carbon emission (CE) reduction. The exploration of effective approaches to mitigate CEs-ET transfer and promote CE reduction has become worldwide hot but difficult issues. This research innovatively introduced the polarized and trickling-down effect in development economics and the environmental externality theory in environmental economics into the study of CEs-ET transfer, and demonstrated that the net CEs-ET inflow to developed regions from underdeveloped regions is actually the polarized effect of “carbon emission space (CES)” of developed regions on underdeveloped regions caused by regional economic development gaps. To reduce CEs-ET transfer and promote the overall CE reduction, it is required to formulate regional collaboratively implemented environmental-economic policies from the perspective of increasing interregional cooperation, to reduce the CES-polarized effect and improve the CES-trickling-down effect. Next, we chose the typical and representative region in study of CEs-ET transfer, the Jing-Jin-Ji region, as case studies, to illustrate the CES-polarized and CES-trickling-down effects based on the latest 2002–2017 interregional input-output (I–O) data. By applying the models of emissions embodied in bilateral trade (EEBT) and structural decomposition analysis (SDA), we evaluated the evolution of the CES-polarized effects in the Jing-Jin-Ji region and their driving mechanism. We found that Beijing and Tianjin had an obvious CES-polarized effect on Hebei, the Beijing-Hebei and Tianjin-Hebei CES-polarized effect firstly strengthened and then weakened, and was highly concentrated in a few industries such as electricity steam and hot water production and supply (ElectpowerProd), metals smelting and processing (MetalSmelt), and Coal mining and processing (Coalmin). Scale and technology were the key driving factors, but for different industries, scale and technology functioned differently. The trickling down of technology and scale in the Jing-Jin-Ji region produced a CES-trickling-down effect and restricted further aggravation of the CES-polarized effect. Subsequently, we established a coupling relationship (CR) model, which comprehensively compared the economic and environmental effects of adjusting the trade value of an industry. Finally, by combining the industrial CES-polarized effect, the SDA results, and the CR results, we identified the key regulating industries and put forward the Beijing-Hebei, Tianjin-Hebei, and the Jing-Jin-Ji collaboratively implemented optimization policies, to reduce the CES-polarized effect, improve the CES-trickling-down effect, and promote the collaborative CE reduction in the Jing-Jin-Ji region. This research could enrich the theoretical connotation and driving mechanism analysis of the formation and evolution of CEs-ET transfer, and provide a new reference for the formulation of an effective and cost-effective regional collaboratively implemented CE reduction scheme between developed and underdeveloped regions.

    Abstract: ... and control in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (Jing-Jin-Ji) region and surrounding areas is conducive ...

    Abstract The relationship between group size and alliance performance has long been concerned by the theoretical scholars, but their opinions vary from each other. China's air pollution prevention and control action in 2017-2018 expanded the core area of joint prevention and control from a minor alliance of "2 + 4" cities to a major alliance of "2 + 26" cities, which undoubtedly provides a good natural experiment for advancing theoretical research. In order to clarify whether the expansion of the cooperation scope of air pollution joint prevention and control will further improve the air quality, the paper uses the regression discontinuity design (RDD) to empirically analyze the original "2 + 4" cities and 22 newly added cities. The conclusions indicate that the expansion of the core area of air pollution joint prevention and control in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (Jing-Jin-Ji) region and surrounding areas is conducive to further improving regional air quality, and the improvement effect of the "2 + 4" cities in the original core area is greater than that of the newly added 22 cities. The improvement of air quality after the expansion of the alliance is attributed to the unified and coordinated supervision of trans-regional environmental protection agencies, which reduces the "free rider" behavior; the increase of alliance members is conducive to achieve better environmental governance and improve cooperation performance among alliance members. Therefore, it is proposed that when the joint prevention and control of air pollution area is mature, the city should expand the scope of the alliance appropriately, rationally control and strengthen the cooperation among cities within the regional alliance, and consolidate the achievements of inter-regional joint prevention and control air quality improvement.

    Abstract Background: The registry system can be used to observe the distribution trend of diseases and analyze the related data to provide useful information in a way that enables the government to take appropriate interventional measures. The purpose of this study was to determine the causes and three-year incidence of newly registered disabled patients who were blind or had low vision in Jing-An District, Shanghai, China from 2010 to 2015.
    Methods: Data from the registration system of visual disability in Jing-An District, Shanghai from 2010 to 2015 were collected and analyzed. In this registry, the only person with permanent visual impairment (VI) was identified as being a certified visually impaired person. The main causes of visual disability were obtained, the three-year incidence of visual disability was calculated, and the relationships between blindness or low vision and age, as well as those between blindness or low vision and gender, were analyzed.
    Results: Six-hundred and forty-six newly certified people with VI were registered, including 206 blind patients and 440 low vision patients. The major causes of blindness were myopia macular degeneration (MMD, 23.30%), glaucoma (20.39%), and age-related macular degeneration (AMD, 17.96%). The three leading causes of low vision were MMD (58.86%), AMD (16.36%), and diabetic retinopathy (DR, 7.27%). DR (16.0%) was the first leading cause of blindness and the second leading cause of VI in patients aged 30-59 yrs. from 2010 to 2015. The three-year incidences of blindness in 2010-2012 and 2013-2015(P = 0.43), which remained stable throughout this time period, were 32.74/100000 and 36.51/100000, respectively. However, the three-year incidence of low vision was 64.51/100000 in 2010-2012 and 83.58/100000 in 2013-2015(P = 0.007), which shows that the incidence increased significantly due to the increase of patients with low vision caused by MMD and DR (P = 0.003 and P = 0.01, respectively).
    Conclusions: MMD, glaucoma, and AMD were the main causes of blindness, while DR was becoming a major cause of VI, especially in working-age people of Jing-An District, Shanghai, China.

    Abstract During professor SHAO Jing-ming's academic research and medical practice, his academic opinion of focusing spirit is gradually developed. In terms of nurturing the spirit, attention should be paid on persistence as well as everyday health maintenance and exercise to nurture the spirit of physician. In terms of clinical diagnosis and treatment, patients' psychology, employment and life status should be observed and experienced, which could bring more methods to take essential care of patients' spirit. The treatment should work with psychological counseling, advocating that based on patients' qi and spirit, various forms of treatment methods should be properly used, such as acupuncture or moxibustion or combination of acupuncture and medicine, along with simple acupoint selection and harmony medication. Before clinical treatment of acupuncture, calming the mind is critically emphasized to make a clear diagnosis. During the acupuncture, calming and focusing the mind is necessary as well as emphasizing the details, so acupuncture could be integrated with Chi Gong to create a new warming-sensation technique. In a word, the academic opinion of focusing spirit is shedding an inspiring light upon further study.

    Abstract The association of ADP-ribosylation factor-like 15 (ARL15) rs6450176 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and serum lipid profiles has never been studied in the Chinese population. The present study was undertaken to detect the association of ARL15 rs6450176 SNP and several environmental factors with serum lipid levels in the Jing and Han populations. Genotypes of the SNP were determined in 726 unrelated subjects of Jing nationality and 726 participants of Han nationality. The genotypic and allelic frequencies of the SNP in Jing but not in Han were different between males and females (P < 0.001 and P < 0.05; respectively). The G allele carriers in Han had lower serum total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and apolipoprotein (Apo) B levels, and higher ApoA1/ApoB ratio than the G allele non-carriers (P < 0.05-0.01). The G allele carriers in Jing had lower serum TC, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), ApoA1, ApoB levels and higher ApoA1/ApoB ratio than the G allele non-carriers (P < 0.05 for all). Subgroup analyses showed that the G allele carriers had lower TC and LDL-C levels in Han males; lower LDL-C and ApoB levels in Han females; lower ApoB levels and ApoA1/ApoB ratio in Jing males; and lower LDL-C levels in Jing females than the G allele non-carriers (P < 0.05-0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that serum TC, LDL-C, ApoB levels and the ApoA1/ApoB ratio in Han; and TC, HDL-C and ApoA1 levels in Jing were correlated with the genotypes of the ARL15 rs6450176 SNP (P < 0.05-0.001). Serum lipid parameters were also associated with several environmental factors in both ethnic groups.
