Médecine traditionnelle chinoise

La médecine traditionnelle chinoise (ou MTC) est l'ensemble des théories et pratiques de santé au cours de l'histoire du monde chinois (aire d'influence de la civilisation chinoise). Au sens large, cette médecine inclut les traditions orales, folkloriques, magiques ou religieuses des différentes ethnies et communautés qui constituent le monde chinois. Dans un sens plus classique, la médecine traditionnelle chinoise est celle qui se réfère à un imposant corpus de textes (tradition écrite), dont les premiers sont datés vers le avant J.-C. environ. La médecine chinoise fait alors partie des trois grandes médecines traditionnelles savantes avec celle du monde méditerranéen (galénisme) et celle de l'Inde (ayurveda). Au cours du , la médecine traditionnelle chinoise classique est celle qui est perçue, et plus ou moins reconnue, comme un système alternatif ou complémentaire à la médecine moderne (en Chine populaire, selon les pays y compris occidentaux, selon l'OMS…). Elle entre alors d

Surface Plasmon Effect Dominated High-Performance Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture

Xin Chen

Available, effectively converting low-frequency vibration into available electricity, triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is always research hot nowadays. However, the enhancing effect of the existing methods for the output have all sorts of drawbacks, i.e., low efficiency and unstable, and its practical applications still need to be further explored. Here, leveraging core-shell nanoparticles Ag@SiO2 doping into tribo-materials generates the surface plasmon effect to boost the output performance of the TENG. On one hand, the shell alleviated the seepage effect from conventional nanoparticles; on the other hand, the surface plasmon effect enabled the core-shell nanoparticles to further boost the output performance of TENG. We circumvent the limitations and present a TENG whose output power density can be up to 4.375 mW/cm2. Points is that this article novelty investigate the high-performance TENG applicating for traditional Chinese medicine and develop a pratical self-powered acupuncture system. This technology enables rapid, routine regulation of human health at any age, which has potential applications in nearly any setting across healthcare platforms alike.

Asperuloside Improves Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes through Modulation of Gut Microbiota and Metabolic Signaling

Johan Auwerx, Qi Zhu

Asperuloside (ASP) is an iridoid glycoside that is extracted from Eucommia leaves. Eucommia is used in traditional Chinese medicine and has a long history of benefits on health and longevity. Here, we investigated the impact of ASP on obesity-related metabolic disorders and show that ASP reduces body weight gain, glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance effectively in mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD). Intestinal dysbiosis is closely linked with metabolic disorders. Our data indicate that ASP achieves these benefits on metabolic homeostasis by reversing HFD-induced gut dysbiosis and by changing gut-derived secondary metabolites and metabolic signaling. Our results indicate that ASP may be used to regulate gut microbiota for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Dimensionless correlations and performance maps of scroll expanders for micro-scale Organic Rankine Cycles

Luis Carlos Mendoza Toledo, Violette Mounier, Luis Eric Olmedo Ocampo, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

In the endeavor towards distributed power systems, not seasonal-dependent micro-power generation technologies are expected to integrate the energy scenario in the years to come. In this context, the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) in the (1e10) KWe scale has chronically lacked a suitable expansion device, hindering its market attractiveness. As scroll expanders have been pointed out as strong potential candidates, performance correlations and pre-design maps based on a review and analysis of published experimental data are presented. A dimensionless approach based on the traditional Ns, Ds dimen-sionless numbers stemming from turbomachinery has been chosen for greater generality. In addition, the lubricating oil mass fraction effect on the scroll expander performance has been included. The generated maps contribute to accelerating the pre-design phases at the system and component level with beneficial effects for the overall development process. Basic geometry and size characteristics are considered as well, acknowledging their importance in micro-power embedded applications; these considerations are illustrated in a passenger car waste-heat recovery case study. Findings suggest that optimized scroll expanders may potentially reach very interesting nominal electric isentropic efficiencies (up to 80% for an oil lubricated scroll expander).
