Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plays a critical role in healthcare; however, it lacks scientific evidence to support the multidimensional therapeutic effects. These effects are based on experience, and, to date, there is no advanced tool to evaluate these experience based effects. In the current study, Chinese herbal materials classified with different cold and heat therapeutic properties, based on Chinese medicine principles, were investigated using spectral distribution, as well as the decay probability distribution based on delayed luminescence (DL). A detection system based on ultraweak biophoton emission was developed to determine the DL decay kinetics of the cold and heat properties of Chinese herbal materials. We constructed a mathematical model to fit the experimental data and characterize the properties of Chinese medicinal herbs with different parameters. The results demonstrated that this method has good reproducibility. Moreover, there is a significant difference (p<0.05) in the spectral distribution and the decay probability distribution of Chinese herbal materials with cold and heat properties. This approach takes advantage of the comprehensive nature of DL compared with more reductionist approaches and is more consistent with TCM principles, in which the core comprises holistic views.

Introduction: McCune–Albright Syndrome (MAS) is a rare congenital sporadic disorder characterized by fibrous bone dysplasia, café-au-lait pigmented spots on the skin, and non-gonadotropin dependent precocious puberty (PP), which is caused by a postzygotic somatic activating mutation in the GNAS gene encoding the alpha subunit of Gs protein. In our case study, we recorded a girl with the onset of MAS and treated her with Chinese medicinal herbs combined with megestrol acetate. We aim to provide a method for the treatment of children with this rare form of precocious puberty. Case Presention: A 4-year-old girl presented with vaginal bleeding and enlarged breasts. The activating mutation of GNAS was not detected in the patient’s peripheral blood samples, as some had reported. Because of peripheral PP and fibrous dysplasia of the diagnosed bone, the patient was considered as MAS. We chose the Chinese medicinal herbs combined with megestrol acetate for treatment, and the patient was effectively treated. Conclusion: The combination therapy of Chinese medicinal herbs plus megestrol acetate in managing PP in an MAS is one of the useful treatments.
