[The origin and development of 'Qu Qiao']
Zhonghua Yi Shi Za Zhi (Beijing, China : 1980)
|May 26, 2025
Summary
Qu Qiao, originating in Taoism (Dao Jiao), evolved in Traditional Chinese Medicine to represent the human body. Its study enhances acupuncture theories and clinical practice.
Area of Science:
- Traditional Chinese Medicine
- Taoism (Dao Jiao)
- Acupuncture Theory
Background:
- The term 'Qu Qiao' originated in Taoism (Dao Jiao) as the human body, distinct from the spirit (Shen).
- Its meaning was significantly expanded and enriched upon its integration into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the historical integration of 'Qu Qiao' into Chinese medicine.
- To analyze the evolving connotation and application of 'Qu Qiao' within TCM.
- To understand the cognitive framework of ancient physicians regarding human physiology and pathology.
Main Methods:
- Historical analysis of the term 'Qu Qiao'.
- Examination of its conceptual development within Traditional Chinese Medicine.
- Exploration of its relationship to ancient physicians' understanding of physiology and pathology.
Main Results:
- 'Qu Qiao' was developed with a structured, multi-level approach reflecting ancient medical cognition.
- The term's evolution demonstrates an understanding of the human body's parts and their interrelationships.
- Its application in TCM is linked to the perception of physiology and pathology.
Conclusions:
- The study of 'Qu Qiao' enriches acupuncture theories.
- Understanding 'Qu Qiao' improves clinical discrimination and treatment relevance in TCM.
- This term reflects a sophisticated understanding of the human body in ancient Chinese medicine.

12.7K
To promote clear communication, for instance, about the location of a patient's abdominal pain or a suspicious mass, anatomists and clinicians typically use imaginary lines to categorize the abdominopelvic cavity into either four quadrants or nine regions to identify organs in the cavity.
The simpler quadrants approach, which is more commonly used in medicine, subdivides the cavity with one horizontal and one vertical line that intersects at the patient's umbilicus (navel). The four...

01:17Oxidation of Phenols to Quinones
3.5K
In the presence of oxidizing agents, phenols are oxidized to quinones. Quinones can be easily reduced back to phenols using mild reducing agents. The electron-donating hydroxyl group enhances the reactivity of the aromatic ring, enabling oxidation of the ring even in the absence of an α hydrogen.
o-hydroxy phenols are oxidized to o-quinones and p-hydroxy phenols to p-quinones. Such redox reactions involve the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The reversible redox...

5.2K
Quartiles are numbers that separate the data into quarters. Quartiles may or may not be part of the data. To find the quartiles, first, find the median or second quartile. The first quartile, Q1, is the middle value of the lower half of the data, and the third quartile, Q3, is the middle value, or median, of the upper half of the data. To get the idea, consider the same data set:
1; 1; 2; 2; 4; 6; 6.8; 7.2; 8; 8.3; 9; 10; 10; 11.5
The median or second quartile is seven. The lower half of the...

The status of a reversible reaction is conveniently assessed by evaluating its reaction quotient (Q). For a reversible reaction described by m A + n B ⇌ x C + y D, the reaction quotient is derived directly from the stoichiometry of the balanced equation as

Cochran's Q Test is a nonparametric statistical test used to determine if there are potential differences in the outcomes of three or more related groups on a binary (yes/no) or dichotomous outcome. It is essentially an extension of the McNemar Test, which is limited to two related samples - Cochran's Q test can handle three or more related samples, making it more versatile in scenarios where subjects are measured under multiple conditions. The test statistic follows a Chi-Square...

03:46Qualitative Analysis
22.6K
For solutions containing mixtures of different cations, the identity of each cation can be determined by qualitative analysis. This technique involves a series of selective precipitations with different chemical reagents, each reaction producing a characteristic precipitate for a specific group of cations. Metal ions within a group are further separated by varying the pH, heating the mixture to redissolve a precipitate, or adding other reagents to form complex ions.
For instance, group IV...
