Respiratory Disease is defined as medical conditions which affect the breathing organ and tissues including Inflammatory lung disease, Obstructive lung diseases, Restrictive lung diseases, Respiratory tract infections, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, the nerves and muscles breathing , etc,.

                                              Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis is defined as a condition chracterized by the damage of the localized, irreversible dilation of part of the bronchial tree and the walls of the large airways of the lung as a result of the destruction of the lung muscles and elastic tissues. Bronchiectasis can be present alone, but in most cases, it is a disease coexisted with patient of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).


                                                   The  Risk factors


1. Tuberculosis, tobacco smoking and exposure to indoor air pollution
Tuberculosis, tobacco smoking and exposure to indoor air pollution are associated to increased risk of bronchiectasis. In the study to describe the clinical spectrum of the patients presenting with bronchiectasis at the referral clinic for the respiratory diseases in eastern Nepal, conducted by Department of Internal Medicine, B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, indicated that in Nepal bronchiectasis remains one of the important chronic respiratory diseases, post tubercular variety being the commonest type. Tuberculosis, tobacco smoking and exposure to indoor air pollution contributes towards higher morbidity of this diseases(14). Other suggested that increasedsmokers, urbanization and air pollution are associated to the prevalence of the Morbidity and mortality of respiratory diseases(14a).

2. Gender
If you are women, you are at increased risk of Bronchiectasis. According to the study by
University of California-Davis School of Medicine, bronchiectasis in women may act more virulently. Identified gender and sex differences range from increased exposure risks to altered inflammatory responses. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that chronic airway infection, most notably non-CF bronchiectasis, is a more common and more virulent disease in women(15).

3. Systemic inflammation and accelerated aging
Systemic inflammation, the consequences of systemic inflammation, the possibility of accelerated aging, and of how these concepts could relate to shared genetic risk factors for both comorbidity and pulmonary aspects of COPD, including small airways diseases, chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis, as well as pulmonary emphysema(16).

4. Family history and other diseases
There is a report of a 68 year old woman with a lifelong history of chronic bronchitis diagnosed as having cystic fibrosis. The diagnosis was based on a suggestive family history, steatorrhoea, bronchiectasis with respiratory insufficiency, and very high sweat sodium content. The patient was found to be heterozygous for the delta F 508 gene defect(17).

5. Delay diagnosis
In the study to provide advice regarding when to suspect bronchiectasis, how to proceed with confirming or refuting a diagnosis, and the principles of management to minimise disease progression and manage the acute exacerbations, symptoms and associated disability and impaired quality of life, found that delay in the diagnosis, investigation and management of bronchiectasis in both children and adults is common, and this delay has been shown to be associated with more rapid progression of disease(18).

The smoothie for people with high risk of Anemia and Anemia
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1 1/4 cup yogurt
1/4 cup honey
1 cup of rice milk

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed. Add more green tea drink if needed
3. Serve immediately

The finding the natural ingredients for treatment of allergy is considered as a dream of many scientist to replace the long usage adverse effect of conventional medicine to other organs in the body. Unfortunately, many compounds found effective in initial studying failed to confirm the potential in large sample size and multi center.

Allergy is the over reaction of immune system to harmless substances after entering our body affecting 1 in every 3 people and is defined as the type I reactions or Immediate Hypersensitivity as a result of over production of Immunoglobulin E (IgE), a class of allergic antibody by the immune system against harmless substances of that increasingly lead to mediated release of histamine and other mediators from mast cells and basophils, resulting in allergic reaction, including mucus secretion, sneezing, itching, etc.

Recent studies suggested that the combination of yogurt(1) and honey(4) may hold an important information as a therapeutic value in reduced risk and treatment of allergy.

Yogurt, made from milk products through bacterial fermentation is considered as one of most healthy foods in balancing the bacteria in the digestive system. Dr. Brown-Riggs C said," yogurt is often a more easily digestible alternative to milk, and thus more palatable to people who experience symptoms of lactose intolerance. This was a key factor cited in the final rule to include yogurt in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children"(1).
According to the joint study lead by the Food Science Research Laboratories, R&D Division, yogurt fermented with different strains of lactobacilli and their metabolite exhibited increasing immunostimulatory exopolysaccharide (EPS) effects by keeping immune functions stable(2) against allergy.
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 44 JCPsis subjects, intake of yogurt or powder supplemented with the Bifidobacterium longum BB536 probiotic strain alleviated allergic symptoms during the pollen seasons of 2004 and 2005, through maintaining the normal function of microorganisms inhabiting the human body in health and disease(3).

The rich golden liquid is the miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers and considered as one of healthy sweet food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener by many people with benefits of treating cough, fever, and inflammation in folk medicine.

In air inflammatory diseases, including asthma, aerosolised honey induced structural changes of the epithelium, mucosa, and submucosal regions of the airway that caused by the induction with ovalbumin(OVA)(4).
Manuka honey (MH) produced from the nectar of the mānuka tree at a concentration between 0.9 and 1.8 mg/mL may be safe to mucosa and efficacious treatment option for recalcitrant chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), according to the University of Adelaide(5).

Local honey, in fact hold a important cue for reduced risk of allergy in city and local population, due to its effects in attenuated allergic reaction, such as sneezing and runny noses, according to the article of Seasonal Allergies? A Spoonful of Honey, posted in New York time on April 11-2010, the author to the editor said,"there is a simpler way for allergy sufferers to find relief: local honey. This remedy (predating Claritin and its ilk) has long been recognized around the world"(6).

Taking all together, people with high risk of allergy due to family history, weaken immune system should drink at least a serving daily to prevent the develop of seasonal allergy.
Taking foods, such as garlic, ginger, turmeric, etc.... in enhancing immunity are recommended

Respiratory Disease is defined as medical conditions which affect the breathing organ and tissues including Inflammatory lung disease, Obstructive lung diseases, Restrictive lung diseases, Respiratory tract infections, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, the nerves and muscles breathing , etc,.

                                              Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis is defined as a condition chracterized by the damage of the localized, irreversible dilation of part of the bronchial tree and the walls of the large airways of the lung as a result of the destruction of the lung muscles and elastic tissues. Bronchiectasis can be present alone, but in most cases, it is a disease coexisted with patient of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

                                         The Causes

1. Congenital bronchiectasis
In cystic fibrosis, mutations of the CFTR gene lead to diffuse bronchiectasis (DB).and the disease is associated with other diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In the study to to determine whether the frequency of CFTR mutations was higher in patients with RA-associated DB and to determine whether a causal relationship could be established between the variant and the disease by evaluating its cosegregation with DB within families, found that the frequency of CFTR mutations was higher in family members with RA-DB or DB only than in unaffected relatives (p<0.005 for each comparison) and in unrelated healthy controls (p<0.001 for each comparison) but not in family members with RA only. CFTR mutations were more frequent in family members with RA-DB than in those with RA only (OR 5.30, 95% CI 2.48 to 11.33; p<5×10(-5)). They cosegregated with RA-DB in the families (sib-TDT=10.82, p=0.005)(8).

2. Gene
Alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) is the main inhibitor of neutrophil elastase, and severe alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD) is a genetic risk factor for early-onset emphysema. In the study to investigate the adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (n=348), asthma (n=71), and bronchiectasis (n=35)with the control was 1435 healthy blood donors, showed that The high prevalence of A1ATD phenotypes/allele in our population has confirmed the necessity of screening for A1ATD in patients with COPD(9). Other study indicated that clinically significant bronchiectasis (radiologic bronchiectasis in 4 or more bronchopulmonary segments together with symptoms of regular sputum production) occurred in 20 subjects (27%). AAT-deficient index cases had higher airway disease scores (P < 0.05), more severe emphysema (P < 0.001), and greater impairment of physiology (P < 0.001) and health status (P < 0.05) than nonindex cases. Airway disease scores correlated with health status, and bronchial wall thickening correlated with FEV(1)(10).

3. Smoke
The long-term course of a patient with bronchiectasis and bronchiolitis obliterans, both of which developed as late complications of a smoke inhalation injury. Sequential chest X-rays obtained during the observation period showed gradual progression of bronchiectasis from the saccular to the cystic type, according to the study by Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, Keio University(11).

4. Others
In the study to to determine causative factors in 150 adults with bronchiectasis (56 male, 94 female) identified using high-resolution computerized tomography, found that immotile cilia syndrome (primary ciliary dyskinesia) and genetic anomalies that are associated with a humoral or cellular immunodeficiency are common causes of bronchiectasis., includingimmune defects (12 cases), cystic fibrosis (4), Young’s syndrome (5), ciliary dysfunction (3), aspiration (6), panbronchiolitis (1), congenital defect (1), ABPA (11), rheumatoid arthritis (4), and early childhood pneumonia, pertussis, or measles (44)(12). In other study, researchers at the indicated that Broncholithiasis is a rare condition in which calcified material erodes into the tracheobronchial tree. Most are caused from afungal, nocardial, mycobacterial, or silicosis-related granulomatous lymphadenitis. Over time, the peribronchial lymph nodes become calcified; thereafter, with the normal repetitive motions of respiration, circulation, and deglutition, the calcifications erode into the lumen of the airway(13).

The smoothie for people with high risk Iron Deficiency Anemia and Iron Deficiency Anemia
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
1/2 cups spinach
1 cup black strap molasses
1 cup of rice milk

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed. Add more green tea drink if needed

The finding the natural ingredients for treatment of iron deficiency anemia is considered as a dream of many scientist to replace the long usage adverse effect of conventional medicine to other organs in the body. Unfortunately, many compounds found effective in initial studying failed to confirm the potential in large sample size and multi center.

Most people understand that anemia is caused by iron deficiency in the bloodstream, but in reality anemia is characterized by deficiency in the hemoglobin of the red blood cells diminishing the ability of the blood to transport oxygen to our cells and to remove carbon dioxide.
Recent studies suggested that chronic consumption of the combination of spinach(1) may be beneficiary to reduced symptoms for patients with iron deficiency anemia.

Spinach is an edible flowering plant in the genus Spinacia, belongs to the family of Amaranthaceae and native to central and southwestern Asia. It is considered as a healthy plant containing vary vitamins and minerals. According to the Department of Food Science, Food Science Building,heme iron found abundantly in spinach is recognized as a highly bioavailable source of iron suitable for treatment of iron deficiency anemia(1).
In the comparison of total iron from meat, spinach (Spinacea oleracea L.) and meat-spinach in anemia and non anemia rats, suggested that the iron absorption average is lower in spinach consumption in the severely anaemic, mildly anaemic and non-anaemic rats(2).
The comparison study conduced by Utah State University said,"between food and FeSO4 iron due to coprophagy may be explained based on two gastrointestinal nonheme iron pools, complexed and highly soluble"(3).

Molasses is the juice is boiled to concentration which promotes the crystallization of the sugar, made by extracting from the canes, usually by crushing or mashing, after the sugar cane plant is harvested and stripped of its leaves. The concentration of this first boiling and of the sugar crystals is first molasses, which has the highest sugar content.
In the comparison of the absorption of iron from grape molasses (GM) and ferrous sulfate (FS) by the Technical University showed that grape molasses is an effective iron source as ferrous sulfate (FS) in preventing iron deficiency anemia in infancy(4).
Dr. Tunuguntla A, and Dr. Sullivan MJ. said," Black strap molasses for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease-associated anemia"(5).

Respiratory Disease is defined as medical conditions which affect the breathing organ and tissues including Inflammatory lung disease, Obstructive lung diseases, Restrictive lung diseases, Respiratory tract infections, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, the nerves and muscles breathing , etc,.

                                              Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis is defined as a condition chracterized by the damage of the localized, irreversible dilation of part of the bronchial tree and the walls of the large airways of the lung as a result of the destruction of the lung muscles and elastic tissues. Bronchiectasis can be present alone, but in most cases, it is a disease coexisted with patient of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).


                                                   The  Symptoms


1. Chronic cough and Increased amount of sputum production
Substantial similarities in composition between normal human and canine mucus and in mucus isolated from dogs with chronic airway inflammation induced by repeated irritant exposure and from human patients with chronic bronchitis, according to the study by Department of Pathology, Children’s Hospital, Boston(1).

2. Night-time symptoms and hypoxemia
The study of Fifty-four patients with bronchiectasis and age-matched controls included to the study by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) to evaluate sleep quality and presence of sleep disordered breathing, found that patients with bronchiectasis have disturbed sleep associated with severity of disease. Night symptoms increase the risk of poor sleep quality. Sleep disordered breathing and sleep quality should be assessed in these patients(2).

3. Abnormal tiredness and difficulty in concentrating
Patients with bronchiectasis often complain of abnormal tiredness, difficulty in concentrating or low spirits, according to the study by Department of Physiological Medicine, St George’s Hospital Medical School(3).

4. Depression and anxiety and effects of quality of life
Anxiety and depression are quite common symptoms in bronchiectasis with 34% of patients had elevated scores for anxiety depression or both. In the study to measure symptoms of depression and anxiety in a sample of patients with bronchiectasis and evaluate their relationship to health outcomes and health-related quality of life, found that symptoms of depression and anxiety were significant predictors of health-related quality of life in patients with bronchiectasis, independently of respiratory involvement, gender, age or other variables(4).

5. Dyspnea on exertion
There is a report of a 54-year old woman referred to our service with an unusual presentation of an under-diagnosed condition. A life-long non-smoker, she was referred to respiratory services by our emergency department with a left sided pneumothorax, progressive dyspnoea on exertion, and recurrent chest infections. Subsequent investigation yielded findings consistent with Mounier-Kuhn syndrome (Tracheobronchomegaly), a condition characterised by marked dilatation of the proximal airways, recurrent chest infection, and consequent emphysema and bronchiectasis(5).
6. Wheezing and chronic cough
According to the University of Louisville, Bronchiectasis can be challenging to diagnose as its symptoms can mimic many more common diseases. The most common symptoms are wheezing, chronic cough, and dyspnea(6).

7. Other symptoms
In the study to compare peripheral muscle function, exercise capacity, fatigue, and health status between patients with bronchiectasis and healthy subjects in order to provide documented differences in these characteristics for individuals with and without bronchiectasis, researcher at the Hacettepe University, showed that Peripheral muscle endurance, exercise capacity, fatigue and health status were adversely affected by the presence of bronchiectasis(7).
And according to study of “Broncholithiasis: Not Just a Middle Lob Disorder” Journal of the KMA, in the MAY 2011/VOL 109/NO 5, the commonly reported symptoms of broncholithiasisinclude persistent cough, recurrenthemoptysis, fever and chills, and purulentsputum (Table 1).2,4 Some patientsexperience pleuritic chest pain. Lithoptysisis pathognomonic and has been reported tooccur in 3% to16% of documented broncholithiasiscases. Fever with purulent sputumsuggestive of respiratory infection is estimatedto occur in 11% to 61% of cases. Wheezing is a less common symptom, butmay lead to a misdiagnosis of asthma.2 Anisolated wheeze or wheezing that does notrespond to bronchodilator treatment shouldraise suspicion for symptomatic broncholithiasis, particularly if a calcified lymph nodeis present on plain radiographs. Hemoptysisoccurs in 37% to 85 % of cases and may be the sole presenting symptom. The hemoptysismay occasionally be massive.

The finding the natural ingredients for treatment of fibromyalgia is considered as a dream of many scientist to replace the long usage adverse effect of conventional medicine to other organs in the body.
Unfortunately, many compounds found effective in initial studying failed to confirm the potential in large sample size and multi center.

Recent studies suggested that scientist in some research centers have found the naturally potential ingredients, such as pineapple(3), orange(3) and banana(3) for reduced risk and treatment for fibromyalgia.

According to the American College of Rheumatology 1990 Criteria for the Classification of Fibromyalgia in the newly proposed criteria for the classification of fibromyalgia are 1) widespread pain in combination with 2) tenderness at 11 or more of the 18 specific tender point sites(a) as a result in responding to pressure.

Melatonin intake can improve sleep quality, pain and pain threshold. According to the study by the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in comparison with amitriptyline suggested that melatonin reduced significantly pain on pain score on the Visual Analog Scale compared with amitriptyline alone, through increased the inhibitory endogenous pain-modulating system(1)

In a clinical crossover study of 30 healthy volunteers consumed selected fruits one at a time, with a 1 week wash-out period between fruits, until completing all six fruits showed that consumption of some tropical fruits have significant effects on melatonin production(2).

According to the Ubon Ratchathani University, intake of pineapple, orange, or banana in health subjects experiment showed to increase the serum melatonin concentrations as well as raising the antioxidant capacity in proportion to serum melatonin levels(3). 

Pineapple is a species of Ananas Comos. belong to the family Bromeliaceae and native to southern Brazil and Paraguay. Today it is widely cultivated for commercial and its rich of vitamins and mineral and digesting enzyme bromelin which seems to help digestion at the end of a high protein meal. It is second only to banana as America's most favourite tropical fruit

Dr. Johns NP and colleagues at the Khon Kaen University said," selected fruits(pineapple, orange and banana) consumption may reduce age-related melatonin reduction problems such as sleeplessness and illnesses involving oxidative damage"(4).

Orange, a species of Citrus Sinensis, belongings to the family Rutaceae and native to the Southeast Asia is round citrus fruits with finely-textured skins, orange in color and one of most popular fruits in the world.

The increased levels of melatonin content during alcoholic fermentation of orange juice may hold a key to attenuate the melatonin due to ageing(5).

Dr. Huang X and Dr. Mazza G. said," orange had the highest melatonin content" in the the direct analysis of initial methanol extracts was compared with further ethyl acetate extraction(6).

Taking altogether, intake of combination of pineapple, orange and banana induced the production of melatonin of that improved the sleep pattern and reduced significantly pain on pain score may be beneficiary for treatment of symptoms of  fibromyalgia.
People who are at risk of fibromyalgia due to aging may drink one or 2 servings a day, people with
Fibromyalgia should drink as much as they can depending to the digestive alternation.

                                       Asthma


Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the air way of the lung with recurring symptoms, such as wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. The disease affects people of all ages, and mostly starts during childhood. In the study of 463,801 children aged 13-14 years in 155 collaborating centres in 56 countries. Children self-reported, through one-page questionnaires, symptoms of these three atopic disorders. In 99 centres in 42 countries, a video asthma questionnaire was also used for 304,796 children, found that for asthma symptoms, the highest 12-month prevalences were from centres in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Republic of Ireland, followed by most centres in North, Central, and South America; the lowest prevalences were from centres in several Eastern European countries, Indonesia, Greece, China, Taiwan, Uzbekistan, India, and Ethiopia(1). In the United States, approximately, asthma affects 25 million people, 7 million of them are children.

The Treatment
In traditional Chinese medicine perspective
Differentiation
Traditional Chinese medicine defined asthma is a condtion as a result of invasion of
1. Wind and cold pathogens with symptoms of shortness of breath and chest distress exacerbated by attack of cold, chills, fever, running nose, pink tongue with white and slippery coating, and floating and slow pulse.
2. Wind and hot pathogens with symptoms of chest distress, yellow and sticky sputum difficult to spit out, thirst, red tongue with yellow and greasy coating, and rolling and rapid pulse.
3. Lung deficiency with symptoms of shortness of breath, low and weak coughing, dry mouth, red tongue, and thready and weak pulse.

Chinese herbal formulas
In the review of 5 clinical studies of antiasthma TCM herbal remedies published between 2005 and 2007 and the summarization of possible mechanisms underlying their effects on the basis of data in the original articles, published abstracts, and available databases, possible mechanisms include anti-inflammation, inhibition of airway smooth muscle contraction, and immunomodulation, found that Evidence from clinical studies supports beneficial effects of TCM herbal therapy on asthma. A number of mechanisms may be responsible for efficacy of these agents. Strong preclinical study data suggest potential efficacy of FAHF-2 for food allergy(85).
1. Invigorating Kidney herbs
In the study of 35 cases of asthmatics in the convalescent stage given the Chinese herbal decoction of chiefly invigorating Kidney (Viscum coloratum 15g, Psoralea corylifolia 15g, Eucommia ulmoides 15g, Lycium chinense 9g, Tussilago farfara 15g, Artemisia capillaris 9g, and Pogostemon cablin 9g as daily dosage) for treatment of 10 weeks and measuring MEFV curves to observe their changes before and after treatment, showed that different parameters of MEFV was improved in some extent which suggested that the airway obstruction of asthmatics in the convalescent stage was reversible(86).
2. Radix Glycyrrhizaem, Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, Ganoderma
In the study to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of an anti-asthma herbal medicine intervention (ASHMI, which contains 3 herbs (Radix Glycyrrhizaem, Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, Ganoderma) in Moderate-to-severe persistent asthma, showed that treatment was administered daily over 4 weeks. This study found that following treatment, lung function (FEV1 and peak expiratory flow values) was significantly improved in both ASHMI (64.9± 6 3.6 to 84.2± 6 5.0; P < 0.001) and prednisone (65.2± 6 3.7 to 88.4 ± 6 8.0; P < 0 .001) groups. No significant side effects were observed in either group. All hematological, electrocardiographic and liver and kidney function test results were normal in both groups(87).
3. Modified Mai Men Dong Tang (mMMDT)
In the study to evaluate to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a Chinese herbal formula modified Mai-Men-Dong-Tang (mMMDT) for treatment of persistent, mild-to-moderate asthma, researchers at the China Medical University Hospital found that the Chinese herbal formula mMMDT provided improvements in lung function and relieved asthma symptoms in our sample of patients. Given its efficacy and safety, we consider mMMDT a credible treatment regimen for persistent, mild-to-moderate asthma(88).
4. Ding Chuan Tang (DCT)
In the randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the effect of Ding Chuan Tang (DCT) in airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) on asthmatic children, indicated that The AHR, symptom and medication scores in children with persistent asthma were significantly improved with DCT treat for 12 wk. The results suggested more stable airways achieved with such an add-on complementary therapy(89).
5. Sophora flavescens Ait
In the study of the impact of a herbal extract with excitatory modulator activity in the management of asthma was studied. An open and selective 3-year follow-up of 14 chronic refractory asthmatics aged between 22 and 7, showed that the quality of life, clinical symptoms and respiratory function improved during all periods of measurement. The use of inhaled corticosteroid and beta-agonists were reduced or eliminated. There were no significant adverse reactions reported. Therefore the extract of S. flavescens as an excitatory modulator appears to be a safe and may be an effective alternative treatment for refractory chronic asthma(90).

Acupuncture
The study observed efficacy differences of acupuncture at “Zusanli” (ST 36) in rats with asthma and asthma with spleen-deficency, so as to investigate the therapeutic mechanism, conducted by College of Acupuncture-Moxibustion and Massage, Liaoning University of TCM, showed that acupuncture at “Zusanli” (ST 36) can regulate the disorders of Fas mRNA and Bcl-2 mRNA expression in the state of both asthma and asthma with spleen-deficency, promote EOS apoptosis so as to inhibit the development of inflammatory reaction of asthma(91).
F3.4. Simple acupoint catgut embedding
showed that the improvement of the simple acupoint catgut embedding at “Feishu” (BL 13), “Danzhong” (CV 17)and “Shenshu” (BL 23) on the airway inflammation in asthmatic rats is better than that of catgut embedding at “Feishu” (BL 13) and “Danzhong” (CV 17) or at “Shenshu” (BL 23) only(92).
