Objective:To fast detect hypotensive drugs illegally added to the flower buds of Panax notoginseng. Methods:A laser Raman spectrometer was used to detect several chemical drugs added to the flower buds of Panax notoginseng, and the spectrum was qualitatively analyzed. Results:Raman spectroscopy could detect chemical antihypertensive drugs added to the flower buds of Panax notoginseng, and the test results were in accordance with those of the traditional method. Conclusion: Raman spectroscopy can be used for the determination of illegal additives in the flower buds of Panax notoginseng.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for small interfering ribonucleic acid (SiRNA) R&D and registration in China. METHODS:The situation of SiRNA R&D at home and abroad were introduced,and problems encountered in the evaluation and approval process were summed up to put forward suggestions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:SiRNA has developed slowly in Chi-na,with a gap of 5-10 years at least compared with foreign developed countries. The registration category of SiRNA is not clear;applicants lack of guidance documents;production workshop which meet requirement is in shortage;the efficiency of drug registra-tion allows of no optimism. It is recommended that pharmaceutical registration departments carry out the pilot reform for SiRNA registration,publish SiRNA registration guide,relax regulations for IND gradually,encourage applicants to participate in the inter-national multicenter clinical trials in order to improve the efficiency of SiRNA evaluation and approval efficiency.

Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis (PIF) is a common complication of connective tissue disease (CTD). The patients with PIF usually manifest with intensive dry cough, progressive dyspnea aggravated by activities, and even weight loss and very fatigued. In this paper, we have applied the traditional methods of "invigorating qi for ascending" and "strengthening earth to generate metal" with modif ied Shenxian decoction for treating CTD combined with PIF to support healthy energy, ascend thoracic qi, and ascend both qi of lung and spleen. We have observed Shenxian decoction could enhance body immune system, benefit the repair of damaged lung tissues, improve microcirculations, and treat both branch and root of body, which has been giving patients prominent effects.

Diabetic retinopathy ( DR ) is one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes. It also is a world's major causes of blind eye diseases. Although the injection of anti - vascular endothelial growth factor intraocular drug is becoming a hotspot of current research. Pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP) remains the effective and economical treatment for DR. As a destructive treatment, PRP will inevitably cause some changes on the normal morphology and function of the retinal and cornea. Currently, with the development of the optical coherence tomography, confocal microscopy and other auxiliary examination, we have more accurate and objective research to better understand the laser-neural tissue interaction. This may help us to protect the patient's visual function more efficiently.

Objective To explore the polymorphisms of serotonin transporter gene-linked promoter region (5-HTTLPR) and cognitive function in patients with subcortical ischemic depression (SID). Methods A battery of neuropsychological tests including Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) were used to evaluate depression and cognitive function for all enrolled subjects. And the distribution frequency of 5-HTTLPR-promoter region polymorphism was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 60 SID patients and 60 health controls. Results There were significant differences in 5-HTTLPR genotypes and alleles between SID group and control group (χ2=7.833, χ2=6.290, both P＜0.05).The SID group showed higher genotype SS than did the control group (58.3% vs. 23.3%) and higher allele S (68.3% vs. 52.5%) but lower genotype LL (16.7% vs. 23.3%) and allele L (31.7% vs. 47.5%). SID group had lower MoCA score than did the control group [(23.63±1.59) scores vs. (27.25±1.59) scores, t=12.44, P＜0.01]. Conclusions The polymorphism of 5-HTTLPR gene may play an important role as a nosogenesis of SID. The frequency of SS genotype may be associated with SID especially in females, having more cognitive impairment. The genotype LL and allele L may be a protective factor for depression symptoms of SID.

Objective To explore the possibility of repairing face rhombus defect after resection of pathological tissues on the special regions. Methods After rhombus resection of a pathological tissues on the special regions of the face, using four triangular flaps at the any sides of the defect to stagger suturing each other and to constitute peculiar "M" flap repairing defect in 26 patients (12 males and 14 females). Results The flaps were all survived. No straight line scars were seen at the repairing regions and no scars contraction for the face contour was occurred. Conclusion This is a simple and effective operation procedure that can be used for rhombus defect of the special regions of the face.

It presented in detail the acquisition of Qingdao Wan Jie Hospital by the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College Qingdao University, describing the operational mechanisms in organizational setup, specialty setup, personnel management, logistic management, hospital culture and branding of the newly acquired section. It also summarized the achievements in medical resources reorganization and advantages complementary without government investment in a fast and low-cost manner. It is demonstrated that hospital acquisitions are in line with the medical reform, as they expand the service coverage of public hospitals, and extend medical service to the communities and lower levels, thus enhancing hospitals' impact and reach to integrate medical resources in a short timeframe.

Objective To study the therapeutic effect of catgut net wrapping for preservation of the injured spleen.Methods Catgut net wrapping method was used to preserve the injured spleen,and the clinical material of those patients treated by the wrapping method was retrospectively evaluated.Results Ultimate spleen recovery was achieved in each case of 15 patients without postoperative bleeding observed,any abscess formation,or complications related to the use of catgut net wrapping.The patients were discharged after 10 to 14 hospital dayS.Two-week-fol-low-up results showed this therapeutic opinion is safe.Conclusion As a means of preserving the injured spleen,the catgut net wrapping method was simple,safe,and efficacious.
