| The important sign to maintain the special feature of Traditional Chinese Medicine is to show the combination of the pathology, principle, prescription and drugs in clinic. The "pathology" is the essential nature of the disease ( also be named as pathogenesis), and is the basic premise of the establishment of the other three elements.Usually the disease of TCM and Western Medicine includes several syndromes. While these syndromes are not distributed in balance. Among these syndromes, there is always one syndrome being the kernel position. Grasping the key point of treating disease by treating the syndrome according to the differentiation. It is important in the aspects of TCM clinic and research of new drugs development.There is no corresponding name of peri-menopausal period syndrome. It is named as "Syndromes around Menopause" in the teaching material of <> (The Fifth Edition). The confirmation and improvement of the problems that the syndromes being included by the disease became the important academic problem in a period that the academy explored and built a standard. The present state is the syndromes distribution of the peri-menopausal period syndrome is approximate understood. But the syndromes being exposed by the academy is much more than the syndromes being specified by the authoritative literature. This difference brought certain difficulty to the excellent-choosing prescription to the adaptable syndrome.We can confirm that the syndrome of the kidney-Yin and Yang deficiency is one of the basic syndromes of the peri-menopausal period syndrome by the understanding of the ancient TCM, the clinical situation of the disease, the characteristics of the Chinese herbs application and the all round inspection and analysis of all the syndromes being include by the disease. There is difference between the kidney-yin and kidney-yang deficiency in clinic. For this reason, we must treat the disease by the method of strengthening both the Yin and Yang according to the deficiency degree of the kidney Yin and Yang.On the basis, we screened the treating experience in TCM in almost 200 kinds of journals of modern TCM in 4 years. And explored the kind of Perspiration, the kind of fever in the head and face, the kind of psychoneurosis, the kind of sleep disorder and the kind of menoxenia, the ancient treating law of theperi-menopausal period syndrome in TCM by using the "data base management system (IBB) of <> " . The DINGKUN Capsule was composed of rehmannia dride rhizome, korean epimedium herb and dan-shen root. The function of the capsule is tonifying the kidney and regulating the menstruation, tranquiling the heart and the mind. It is mainly to treat the syndrome of the def iciency of the kidney-yin and yang in the peri-menopausal period syndrome.We have biological experiments on the basis of the research to the DINGKUN Capsule on the aspects of technique, dosage and the standard of ojiality. The result had showed that: the DINGKUN Capsule can stimulate the appearance of the oestrus of the immature female rats obviously, increase the amount of the uterus and estradiol in the serum, increase the uterus weight of the mouse without ovary. All the results had proved it has estrogen-like function. The research also implied the DINGKUN Capsule has the functions of sedation^ hypnosis and anti-fatigue. It is a good basis for the further research and development of the DINGKUN Capsule. |
