论房中经典《素女经》与《玄女经》

唐代以前,我国曾流传过(<素女经>)、(<玄女经>)、(<玉房秘诀>)、(<玉房指要>)、(<洞房玄子>)等许多房中(性学)名著,可惜在五代及北宋以后已经失传.值得庆幸的是,这些著作早已流传到了日本,因而在该国尚保存着部分中国古代房中著作.日人丹波康赖于公元982年编成(<医心方>)30卷,其中第28卷就摘录和引述了上述房中著作.近代学者叶德辉从(<医心方>)等书中分别把有关的引文辑录出来,收入所编(<双梅景暗丛书>)之中,才使国人得以部分地窥见上述房中著作的风貌.

中国古代性学要旨

老子曰:"万物负阴而抱阳,冲和以为气."宇宙间万事万物,无休无止,生生化化,变化的根本原始推动力,在于阴阳之冲和.人类生活在自然界中,绵绵万世,生生不息,也是阴阳冲和的结果.男属阳,女属阴,法天象地,顺乎自然,合于阴阳.男女之交媾,犹如地气上为云、天气下为雨一样,畅利顺遂,天经地义,此正如《易经》所谓:"天地氤氲,万物化醇;男女媾精,万物化生."

让性科学更好的扎根于民间

在中国，关于性的研究是久远的，2000多年前的《黄帝内经》就阐述了男女性器官的解剖、生理及保健的理论，总结了男女疾病之病机，制订了治疗原则，并提出了养生方法。后来又有《素女经》、《玉房秘诀》等著述充实了性的理论，提高了性的技巧。近现代随着西方的性科学的传人，大量的学者对性科学各方面的问题展开了更深入的研究，更好的开展了性教育及性治疗。有关性方面的关注缺乏民间基础吗？不缺乏!

EVALUATION OF NEUROPROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM LOW DOSE HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY ON POSTMENOPAUSAL WO-MEN BRAIN HIPPOCAMPUS USING MAGNETIC RESONANCE SCANNER

To investigate the effects of long-term low dose hormone replacement therapy （HRT） on postmenopaosal women in homone level, cognition score, hippocampus volume, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy （MRS） parameters. Methods A total of 182 postmenopausal women aged 50-87 years were chosen at Peking Union Medical College Hospital and assigned to HRT group and control group. The volunteers of HRT group had taken low dose hormone [ estradiol （E2 ） 0. 5-1.0 mg and progesterone 0.5-2.0 mg, once a day ] for 4-33 years. The concentrations of E2, progesterone, and testosterone were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The gene types of apolipoprotein E （ApoE） were measured by polymerase chain reaction, and the subjects with susceptible genes （ ApoE ε3/ε4） of Alzheimer＇s disease （AD） were screened. Their hippocampus volumes and MRS parameters were obtained through magnetic resonance imaging （MRI）, and results in two groups were analyzed by statistical method. Results Compared with control group, the concentrations of E2 at each age stage in HRT group were significantly higher （P 〈0. 05） except the 80-89 years old subgroup; yet, there were no statistical differences in the concentrations of progesterone and testosterone between the two groups. There was no obvious difference in ApoE subtypes distribution between the two groups The results of hippocampus MRI for the subjects with susceptible genes ApoE ε3/ε4 （HRT group 14 cases, control group 11 cases） showed that the ratio of bilateral hippocampus volume to whole brain volume in HRT group （0. 406 ± 0.028） was signiticantlyhigher than control gronp （0.369±0.031, P〈0.05）. Theresults of ^1H MRS for the subjects with susceptible genes ApoE ε3/ε4 （ HRT group 12 cases, control group 11 cases） showed that the N-acetylaspartate/total creatine at the area of hippocampus in HRT group （ 1.54±0. 08 ） were significantly higher than control group （ 1.45±0. 13, P 〈 0. 05）. Conclusions For postmenopausal women, long-term low dose HRT can maintain the physiological concentration of E2 in plasma. Furthermore, the hippocampus MRI performed on those with ApoE ε3/ε3 genes shows that long-term low dose HRT can prevent hippocampus atrophy, which is beneficial to maintain the brain function and prevent AD.

Folic acid supplementation: The new dawn for postmenopausal women with hot flushes

Hot flushes, experienced by 75% of menopausal women, are associated with estrogen deprivation. Estrogen was shown to ameliorate hot flushes by interacting with monoamine neurotransmitters in the brain; reducing noradrenaline and increasing serotonin. Hormone replacement therapy(HRT), the first treatment option, causes concerns over possible increased risks particularly breast cancer. Folic acid is involved in the biosynthesis of serotonin and nordrenaline, which is responsible for its effects on mood and cognition, and degrees of folate inadequacy, not severe enough to produce megaloblastic anaemia, were found to be associated with depression and cognitive malfunctioning. Also, increased age was observed to relate to reduced serum and cerebrospinal fluid folic acid levels. There is emerging evidence that folic acid supplementation ameliorates hot fl ushes by the same mechanism as estrogen. To explore this hypothesis, a multi-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized is being set up to compare the effect of 5 mg folic acid vs placebo in reducing the frequency and severity of hot fl ushes in postmenopausal women, and on the blood level of serotonin and noradrenaline. If folic acid supplementation is demonstrated to be effective, this will be a turning point in the clinical practice since it represents a cheap, safe and well-tolerated alternative to HRT.

Skeletal events of Anastrozole versus Tamoxifen on bone mineral density and bone biomarker osteocalcin in postmenopausal women with early breast cancer

Objective： Postmenopausal women with breast cancer are at increased risk of bone loss because of age related estrogen deficiency face which accelerated with the use of aromatase inhibitors （AIs）. We aimed to study the effect on bone mineral density （BMD） and bone formation biomarker osteocalcin level in postmenopausal breast cancer patients, for the first three years of adjuvant hormonal treatment of both groups Tamoxifen versus Anastrozol. Methods： One-hundered postmenopausal breast cancers were prospectively randomized to receive either Tamoxifen 20 rag/day （n = 50） or Anastrozole 10 mg （n = 50）. Both BMD and osteocalcin were assessed initially before treatment and then at regular intervals for both groups. Results： Use of Tamoxifen was associated with significant annual decrease in osteocalcin （P = 0.001）, whereas Anastrozole group had gradual increase of the annual levels （P 〈 0.01）. BMD decreased significantly in Anastrozole versus Tamoxifen groups （2.6% vs. 0.4%, P 〈 0.001）. Osteoporosis T 〈 -2.5 was reported significantly higher in Anastrozole group （P 〈 0.01）. Women with initial osteopenia in Anastrozole group showed significant decrease in BMD （P 〈 0.05）. The addition of bisphosphonate for patients with early osteoporosis markedly improved both osteocalcin level and BMD. Conclusion： Tamoxifen preserves BMD in postmenopausal breast cancer patients, whereas Anastrozole accelerates age associated fall in BMD especially in the first year of therapy, moreover, the addition of bisphosphonate can help to decrease the skeletal related events associated with treatment to ensure better quality of life with treatment.

养生无处不在之房事养生

性是人类与生俱来的天性、本能，所谓“食色、性也”（《孟子·告子》）。古人称“阴阳交则物生，阴阳隔则物杀”，强调男女不合则违背阴阳之道。正如《素女经》所云：“男女相成，犹天地相生也，天地得交会之道，故无终竞之限。”古代养生家正是以阴阳之道为基准来研究人类性爱活动的，并将其作为养生益寿的重要原则，推广应用于诸多方面。

Efficacy of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation(TEAS)for menopausal insomnia and its effect on serum hormone levels

Objective:To explore the therapeutic efficacy and mechanism of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation(TEAS)for menopausal insomnia.Methods:A total of 80 patients with menopausal insomnia were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 40 cases in each group.The patients in the control group received conventional Western medication treatment,and the patients in the observation group received TEAS on the basis of conventional Western medication treatment.The treatment for both groups lasted for 4 weeks.Before and after treatment,Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)and modified Kupperman scale were evaluated,and the serum levels of estradiol(E2)and follicular stimulating hormone(FSH)were measured.The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after treatment.Results:After treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05);in the control group,the improvement of PSQI score was significant(P<0.05),while the change of modified Kupperman score was insignificant(P>0.05);the PSQI and Kupperman scores in the observation group were significantly improved after treatment(both P<0.05),and there were significant differences between the observation group and the control group in PSQI and Kupperman scores(both P<0.05).After treatment,the serum E2 and FSH levels in the control group were not statistically different from those before treatment(both P>0.05);the serum E2 level was significantly increased(P<0.05),and the FSH level was decreased(P<0.05)in the observation group after treatment,and the between-group differences in serum levels of E2 and FSH were significant(both P<0.05).Conclusion:TEAS plus conventional Western medication in treating menopausal insomnia is effective,and can significantly improve the symptoms of insomnia and menopause,which may be related to the regulation of serum E2 and FSH levels.

Assessment of ghrelin and leptin receptor levels in postmenopausal women who received oral or transdermal menopausal hormonal therapy

Objective： In postmenopausal women, an increased leptin concentration and reduced levels of ghrelin and adiponectin were observed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the concentrations of the active form of ghrelin, total ghrelin, leptin receptor, lipoprotein（a） （Lp（a））, and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 （PAl-l） in postmenopausal women who received oral or transdermal menopausal hormonal therapy （MHT）. Methods： The study involved 76 healthy women： 46 women aged from 44 to 58 years who received oral （26） or transdermal （20） MHT; the control group consisted of 30 women aged from 44 to 54 years who did not receive MHT. The plasma concentrations of total ghrelin, the active form of ghrelin, Lp（a）, and PAI-I：Ag were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The concentration of the leptin receptor was measured by enzyme immunometric assay （EIA）. Results： We observed a significantly higher concentration o~ total ghrelin and the active form of ghrelin in women who received transdermal MHT in comparison with those who took oral MHT. We also found a significantly lower concentration of total ghrelin in women who received oral MHT compared with the control group. A higher concentration of PAl-1 ：Ag was found in the group of women who took transdermal MHT in comparison with those who took oral MHT and with the control group. The differences were statistically significant. Additionally, we found a significant negative correlation between the concentrations of total ghrelin and PAl-1 ：Ag and a positive correlation between the concentrations of total ghrelin and leptin receptor in women who received transdermal MHT. Conclusions： The study showed that women who used transdermal MHT had higher levels of total ghrelin than women who took oral MHT. This indicates a beneficial effect of the transdermal route of MHT. However, transdermal therapy was associated with adverse effects with regard to the observed higher levels of PAl-1 ：Ag, which in turn, can lead to a reduction in fibrinolytic activity.
