[Differentiation and analysis of original meaning of classical channel theories]
1College of Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Objective:
To probe into the original meanings of manifestation and root cause, root and knot, Genliu infusion, Benshu, pathway of qi, four sea, Guan-He Shu and other classical channel theories.
Methods:
Based on Huangdi Neijing (The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic) and other classical literatures, combined with medical books in bamboo slip and the silk and opinions of annotation experts of successive dynasties, deeply analyze and study.
Results:
Classical channel theories are involved in some theories of channel structures, with 3 original meanings: expounding the origin, the end and running of channels, expounding bi-directional running of channel-qi, and expounding the affinity relation of six channels, six qi, six zang-organs and six fu-organs.
Conclusion:
Classical channel theories stress emphasize concentric running of channels, and concentric arrangement of channel acupoints, bi-directional running of channel-qi, and each affinity of six channels.

Electrochemical Gradient and Channel Proteins: An Overview
The electrical gradient: The electrical gradient across cell membranes refers to the difference in electric charge between the inside and outside of a cell. This difference drives the movement of ions towards or away from the cells. For instance, if the inside of the cell is more negatively charged relative to the...
