Basic theories and development of Miao medicine

Miao is an important ethnic minority in China.Miao medicine(MM)is a pivotal of traditional Chinese medicine.It is an accumulation of the Miao people's experience fighting against diseases for thousands of years and has been an important part of the Miao culture.The origin of MM is closely related to Miao culture,customs,and habits.MM gradually formed a traditional medical theoretical system with obvious regional characteristics,distinctive cultural characteristics,and unique efficacy.In this paper,we intro-duce and review the unique theoretical system of MM,including the basic theory of MM,the theory of medicine,nature,taste,and channel tropism,and the theory of entering the shelf.In addition,we summarize the development of MM to provide an overview of the theoretical characteristics and industrialisation of MM that is accessible to everyone.

Metabolomics research on Tibetan medicinal substances

Background:Tibetan medicinal substances(TMS)has a complete theory that is based on five source doctrines.The theories of“Liuwei”,“Baxing”,“Shiqi Gongxiao”,and“Sanhuawei”constitute the prominent core components of the five source doctrines with significant Tibetan characteristics.Objective:This review summarizes the existing literature on the metabolomics and its use in TMS and offers recommendations for future research.Methods:Studies on TMS and the application of metabolomics on TMS are reviewed and summarized.The shortcomings of existing studies and recommendations for future studies are discussed.Conclusions:The recent researches have studied on the theory of TMS.Metabolomics will be increasingly applied to the identification of compounds in TMS,and the resultant detection of biomarkers will help elucidate the metabolic pathways of these substances.

The relationship between indoor air quality(IAQ)and perceived air quality(PAQ)-a review and case analysis of Chinese residential environment

Due to the majority of time people spent indoors,indoor air quality is not only critical to people’s health,comfort,but can also significantly influence occupants perception on indoor environment.Air quality is closely related to many factors including thermal parameters,pollutant concentrations,and ventilation performance.However,the current building indoor air quality evaluation method is based the objective measurement of indoor parameters,without considering occupants’subjective perception.This paper is aimed at summarizing a profound review on the PAQ evaluation method.Comparisons among various PAQ evaluating methods with advantages,similarities and differences were conducted.Analysis of literatures about indoor air quality in Chinese residential buildings field is also summarized,and discussion on the subjective influence of temperature and relative humidity,venti-lation performance,volatile organic compounds(VOCs)concentration,and particulate matters on perceived air quality is carried out.

Solution structures of tensor complementarity problem

We introduce two new types of tensors called the strictly semimonotone tensor and the range column sufficient tensor and explore their structure properties. Based on the obtained results, we make a characterization to the solution of tensor complementarity problem.
