Kidney Essence

The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical experience of Zan Qiang, a famous doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Shaanxi province, in the treatment of perimenopausal osteoporosis. Zan believed that the main etiology and pathogenesis of perimenopausal osteoporosis were "deficiency of kidney essence, decreased marrow and bone", "deficiency of liver and kidney" and "stasis caused by deficiency". Although it is a chronic physiological disease, and the pathological process is irreversible, the treatment groups of "tonifying kidney and filling essence", "tonifying liver and tonifying kidney" and "tonifying deficiency and promoting blood circulation" can significantly improve the symptoms of patients, slow down the progress of the disease and improve the quality of life of patients.

Chinese Medicine Theory

The main purpose of this study was to demonstrate the therapeutic effects and mechanism of TDJW, a modern Chinese medicine prescription developed based on the basic traditional Chinese medicine theory of “tonifying the kidney essence,” on the Aβ25–35-induced AD rats. The AD model was established by the intracerebroventricular administrations of Aβ25–35into the hippocampus CA1 tissue of SD male rats. 72 rats were randomly divided into six groups: sham operation, AD model, donepezil, high TDJW group, medium TDJW group, and low TDJW group. After oral administration of TDJW, the results of Morris water maze and step-down test showed that the learning and memory abilities of AD rats were significantly improved. And biochemical measurement demonstrated that Ach and Glu in hippocampus tissues of AD rats were increased as well. Moreover, the Aβdeposits and p-Tau aggregations in hippocampus CA1 tissues of AD rats were attenuated as observed in the micrographs of immunohistochemistry study, and the results of ELISA indicated that the expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in hippocampus tissues were significantly decreased. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that TDJW could be used as a promising therapeutic agent for the clinical applications of AD treatment in patients.
