To observe the curative effect of acupuncture treatment for chronic gastritis, 50patients with chronic gastritis were treated by acupuncture and another 50 patients as control treated by drugs; the curative effects of total and every therapeutic course were respectively compared between two groups. The total effective rate was 98.0% in acupuncture group and 88.0% in control group, suggesting a significant difference (P<0.01) between two groups, the comparison among 3 courses showed that there was a significant difference, P<0.01, for first,second course and P<0.05 for third course between two groups.

The failure of existing principles of translation applied to Chinese - English translation of medical paper abstracts has directly affected the exchange and popularity of the author's academic achievements by impressing readers with numerous mistakes and low quality. This thesis, by analyses of more examples of medical paper abstracts, again puts forward the three principles of translation, namely-faithfulness, conciseness and consistency, and further emphasizes the variation of translation principles resulted from stylistic features of medical English.

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a serious infectious disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Increasing cases of HIV infection have been detected in adolescents. Intravenous drug abuse and sexual behavior, which are affected by various individual and environmental factors, are the major ways of HIV infection. The current situation and influential factors of HIV infection in adolescents are introduced in this paper.

Feature extraction is a very crucial step in P300-based brain-computer interface (BCI) and independent component analysis (ICA) is a suitable P300 feature extraction method. But at present the convergence performance of the general ICA iteration methods are not very satisfactory. In this paper, a method based on quantum particle swarm optimizer (QPSO) algorithm and ICA technique is put forward for P300 extraction. In this method, quantum computing is used to impel ICA iteration to globally converge faster. It achieved the purpose of extracting P300 rapidly and efficiently. The method was tested on two public datasets of BCI Competition II and III, and a simple linear classifier was employed to classify the extracted P300 features. The recognition accuracy reached 94.4% with 15 times averaged. The results showed that the proposed method could extract P300 rapidly and the extraction effect did not reduce. It provides an experimental basis for further study of real-time BCI system.

Desmoid tumor also known as aggressive fibromatosis,are rare fibroblastic tumors which are derived from deep fascia planes or muscuofascia structures.Resectable extra-abdominal and abdominal desmoid tumor should always be treated with the aim of achieving a negative margin through wide radical resection with margins above 2 cm.Ifthis is not feasible,function-sparing surgical resection is suggested.Adjuvant radiation should be considered for patients with positive margins,recirrent tumors or unresectable diseases.Intra-abdominal desmoid tumor is common in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis.It has a high recurring rate after surgical resection and therefore a high dosage of tamoxifen and sulindac are recommended as first-line treatment.Due to the variable nature of the outcome and vague reaction to drug therapy,individualized treatments,including the wait and see policy,has been widely investigated and thought to be a promising strategy for the future.

Over the last few years,elevated phospholipase D(PLD)expression and activity found to be mediated by Wnt/ β-catenin and NF-κB signaling axis sharing the same downstream genes have been involved in tumorigenesis,controlling cancer cell invasion and metastasis. New studies have revealed that Wnt signaling/ NF-κB signaling can induce PLD upregulation and increased enzymatic activ-ity. PLD/ PLD-generated phosphatidic acid( PA),as a critical regulator,might positively modulate β-catenin-dependent T-cell factor and NF-κB transcriptional activity via a targeted motif and a positive feed-back loop to reinforce pathway output including cyclin D1 ,c-myc,survivin,vascular endothelial growth factor and cyclooxygenase-2,while PLD/ PA inhibitors can reverse all the effect mentioned above and achieve significantly better anticancer effects. The PLD/ PA signaling pathway can be a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer.

Objective To examine and assess the clinical effect of Er ∶ YAG 2940 nm fractional laser resurfacing for skin wrinkles.Methods A total of 16 patients with Fitzpatrick skin type Ⅳ and facial wrinkles,were treated with Er ∶ YAG 2940 nm fractional laser resurfacing and follow-up were given every week after treatment,four weeks in all.Response to treatment was evaluated by observers and patients themselves.Photos were analyzed by the photoshop 12.0 software.Results During the four-week follow-up,the skin of patients was more and more better than pretreatment,and a large part of wrinkles was disappeared.The assessment of observers for wrinkle amelioration rose from (6.50--2.33) ％ to (34.80±5.24) ％ and the scores of content of patients was up to 4.00±0.27(generally satisfied),whereas no one satisfied at beginning.Analyzed by photoshop 12.0 software,the data of average and middle values were on the trend of increasing in all these four weeks while SD was basically on the trend of decreasing.Conclusions Fractional ablative photothemolysis using Er ∶ YAG 2940 nm laser is a promising option for skin wrinkles.

Vascular remodeling is not only the pathologic cause of circulation dysfunction and vascular disease such as hypertension and diabetes,but also can accelerate the process of dysfunction and failure of target organs.To reverse vascular remodeling has been one of the clinical aims.Kidney is one of the critical common target organs of many kinds of diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.The main part of the intrarenal resistance comes from the intrarenal small arteries,and the remodeling of intrarenal small arteries can reduce the blood supply of kidney and lead to excessive activation of neuroendocrine system as well their vicious cycle,resulting a terrible prognosis together with kidney and other target organs failure.This paper reviews the advance of vascular remodeling especially in the intrarenal small arteries.

To investigate the effect of Yiqi Huoxue Capsule (YHC) in treating early ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction.Ninety cases of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were randomized to two groups: YHC group (A) and placebo group (B). Groups A and B were treated with YHC and placebo respectively on the basis of thrombolytic treatment and/or routine western treatment. Interventricular septum (IVS) thickness, left ventricular posterior wall (LVPW) thickness, left ventricular dimension in end-diastole (LVDd), scoring of local ventricular wall function and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were observed 1 and 8 weeks after treatment. Eight weeks after treatment, IVS thickness, LVPW thickness and LVDd were increased and scoring of local ventricular wall function was also increased in group B as compared with those one week after treatment;no obvious changes were found in group A and the difference was significant between the two groups (P
