Objective To explore the effect of Renshen Jianxin Capsule on insulin resistance and coagulation in coronary heart disease. Methods Angina patients with Qi dificiency and blood stasis were randomly divided into Renshen Jianxin Capsule group (30 patients, treated by Renshen Jianxin Capsule and common western medicine) and metformin group (30 patients, treated by metformin and common western medicine). The changes of blood glucose, insulin sensitivity index (ISI), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) were observed after six weeks. Results Blood glucose and PAI-1 were decreased, ISI was improved significantly after treatment of Renshen Jianxin Capsule. There was no significant difference of PAI-1 in metformin group. Conclution Renshen Jianxin Capsule has similar effect with metformin in improving insulin resistance and better effect in improving coagulation.

The level of serum lipid peroxide in rat is increased as the age of rat increased gradually. When the animals were injected with sodium selenite (0.1mg/kg) and vitamin E (4mg/kg) for five weeks the serum lipid peroxide level was decreased, the combined use of sodium selenite and vitamin E could decrease the level of SGPT apparently.

Lifelong blood cell production is achieved by the capacity of hematopoietic stem cell(HSC) to differentiate and self-renew.A growing body of evidence suggest that DNA damage induced HSC senescence may be the principal mechanism of aging and HSC exhaustion in response to the stress exposure.Understanding the mechanisms of HSC senescence will help to find new therapeutics that can ameliorate HSC injury induced by chemo-and radiotherapy,elucidate the molecular mechanisms whereby leukemia/cancer stem cell arise and evade cancer therapy by escaping senescence,and identify the novel molecular targets for intervention.

The clinical classification of metastatic spinal tumors is based on the degree of malignancy, nervous system function, osteoclasia, and prognosis of patients. The application of this classification system is relatively simple. The assessment and evaluation of patients to estimate the period of survival can guide the individualized treatment of patients. Patients with clear surgical indications can choose to undergo a palliative operation, tumor resection, or total spondylectomy. Alternatively, other patients can opt to have mini-mally invasive surgery aside from the normal surgical approach. Stereotactic radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy combined with the use of radiofrequency ablation, radiation, and other therapies can achieve local tumor control, relieve pain, and main-tain normal neurological function. Thus, the quality of life of the patient is improved. Percutaneous vertebroplasty, radiofrequency abla-tion, spinal endoscopy, and other modern forms of minimally invasive surgery will have more applications in the treatment of spinal metastatic tumors.

[Objective] Discuss the influence of Taoist thought of health, in order to establish Taoist theory support for Chinese medicine keeping in good health.[ Method]Through discussing the influence to health maintenance by the Taoist theory of laissez-faire, returning to nature, prevention of disease, venerating yin and softness, to summarize the importance of Taoist thought in health maintenance. [Result]Taoist thought plays an important role in Chinese medicine health maintenance, Taoist thought emphasizes nihility and innocence, returning to nature, and making life to return to original state, prevention treatment of disease, and also pays attention to the protection of yin, emphasizing the regulation of five internal organs. [Conclusion]Taoist thought is one of the important thoughts inheritance for thousands of years in China, the quietness of the laissez-faire Taoism, the thought of returning to nature, the prevention treatment of disease thought in tonifying physical and spiritual, the thought of venerating yin and softness, al have guiding significance for TCM in health maintenance.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence,symtoms and prognosis of hospital infection by Mucor after liver transplantation.METHODS The clinical data of all the patients with complicated hospital infection orthotopic by Mucor after orthotopic liver transplantation were analyzed restrospectively.RESULTS There were 9 cases with complicated hospital infection by Mucor from in 750 liver transplant recipients.Seven cases developed superficial incisional infection with delayed healing and rapid increased secretion on the surface of incisions.All of them recovered after antifungal therapy.Two cases had pulmonary Mucor infection combined with bacteria and died of multi-organ failure.CONCLUSIONS The incidence of hospital infection by Mucor in liver transplant recipients is about 1%.The most common symtoms are superficial incisional infection and the patients recover well.However,the cases with complicated pulmonary Mucor infection are difficult to treat and have a poor prognosis.

Objective To study the relationship between the microvessel damage and the death rate of tumor cells and determine role of microvessel damage in the tumoricidal effect of hyperthermia.Methods H22 hepatoma cells were inoculated in the right hind legs of KM mice with immunosuppression.Local hyperthermia was administered to these mice which were divided randomly into 10 groups (8 in each group),which included groups of 3,6,12,24,48,72 and 96 h after hyperthermia for 30 min and groups of hyperthermia for 15,30 and 45 min.The tumor tissues were analyzed by flow cytometry(FCM)and immunohistochemistry.The cultured H22 cells were also given hyperthermia for 15,30,45 min and analyzed by FCM.Results The apoptotic rate(0.115±0.008)was higher in the initiation phase of hyperthermia in vitro,then the necrotic rates rose gradually.The difference between in vivo and in vitro was significant in hyperthermia of the same time about death rate(P＜0.05).A strong positive linear correlation(r=0.844)was observed between the death rate of tumor cells and MVD.Conclusion Microvessel damage plays the cardinal role in tumoricidal effect of hyperthermia.

To explore the changes of anti-thyroid drug (ATD) on bone mineral density and bone turnover parameters in patients with Graves disease (GD).Compared with the healthy controls during the same period,the serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and bone gla protein (BGP) in GD patients significantly increased at pre-treatment and after normal thyroid by treatment (P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01).AKP and BGP of GD patients reduced to normal level at Month 6 after normal thyroid (P ＞ 0.05) ; BMD significantly decreased at pre-treatment and Month 12 after normal thyroid (P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01).And it dropped to normal level at Month 18 (P ＞ 0.05).GD could affect bone metabolism and thyroid hormone might accelerate bone metabolism directly.
