To investigate the anti-anxiety and anti-depression effect and mechanism of Xiaoyao San on rats with ovariectomy(OVX) combined with chronic unpredictable stress(CUS) model. The model of perimenopausal depression was established by OVX and CUS; the level of anxiety and depression was evaluated by open field test; the levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β) and interleukin-6(IL-6) mRNA in rat hippocampus were detected by Real-time qPCR; double staining immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule-1(Iba-1) and inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) in microglia of rat dentate gyrus(DG); Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of Iba-1 and iNOS of microglia in DG region of rat hippocampus. The results showed that in the model group, the number of horizontal movement, the number of vertical movement and central residence time were significantly reduced, and the grooming time was significantly prolonged(P<0.

"Mistreatment by warming therapy" refers to various symptoms/syndromes caused by improper use of fire methods mentioned in Treatise on Febrile Diseases, which are similar to damaged yin induced fire-heat syndrome (injury of yin, consumption of qi, loss of yin, consumption of body fluid) manifested after radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy in modern clinics. Better efficacy was obtained in treating various symptoms/syndromes by using nourishing yin purging fire method. In this paper authors focuses on exploring guiding significance of using "Mistreatment by warming therapy" in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
