Through analyzing the academic ideas in Shanghan Zhinan written by Wei-Ju ZHU, a modern famous physician, it is pointed out that ZHU's achievement on integrative medicine has been overlooked. Taking the theory of syndrome differentiation of six channels from Shanghan Lun as an example, ZHU presumed that the essence of therapeutic theory of traditional Chinese medicine was to conform to or strengthen human body's self-healing and self-regulating abilities. Since Yangqi is the major force in the body to help heal disease when it occurred, ZHU often took measures to strengthen Yang first in treating disease and also was good at using hot-natured herbs, such as Radix aconiti lateralis preparata. ZHU's thoughts on integrative medicine were concerned with etiology, pathology and therapeutics. In addition, ZHU generalized the syndrome differentiation into the theory of five phases and eight principles, and made important contributions to the history of integrative medicine. His thinking will provide valuable revelation for clinical practice and modern research on traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To determine the location of mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB) and whether the cellular immunity is induced after intragastric administration of BCG in mice.Methods:Viable MTB were detected in mesenteric lymph nodes?spleen and lungs at day 15,30 and 60 after intragastric administration of BCG to mice.The proliferation of T-lymphocyte with the stimulus of the purified protein derivative(PPD) was measured at day 60 and 90 after intragastric administration of BCG to mice.The expression of interleukin-2(IL-2) of T-lymphocyte in spleen was detected at day 60 and 90 after intragastric administration of BCG.Results:Viable MTB were detected in the mesenteric lymph nodes and spleen at day 15,30 and 60 after intragastric administration.At day 60 and 90 after intragastric administration of BCG to mice,the ratio of T-lymphocyte proliferation was 31.32%,37.94% separately and the production of IL-2 was 37.47?5.60 U/ml,39.41?7.73 U/ml separately.There were no statistically significant differences in the cellular immunity between the mice of the intragastric administration of BCG significant differences in the cellular immunity between the mice of the intragastric administration and the mice of the subcutaneous vaccination of BCG( P 0.05).Conclusion:Intragastric administration of BCG can induce cellular immunity in mice.

Objective: To investigate the effect of cognitive intervention on the therapy to Chronic prostatitis(CP) following Sexually Transmitted Diseases(STD). Methods: 84 patients were divided into two groups, as control group(n=42) in which prostant was locally used and the intervention group(n=42) which received cognitive Intervention therapy based on the locally using prostant. After a month, the therapy effect was evaluated. Results: Compared with control group, the subjective syndrome in intervention group was improved much more apparent receiving therapy one month later(P 0.05). Conclusion: Cognitive intervention is an effective method to improve the subjective syndrome of CP following STD; so a clinical medicine should study psychology.

The spleen whose size reaches or exceeds third degree should be regarded as massive splenomegaly.Splenectomy for massive splenomegaly demands precise procedures.First,median incision on upper abdomen(or vertical rectus muscle splitting incision)and incision under left costal arch are preferred.Second,the spleen was freed and then 0.33 mg of epinephrine was injected via the splenic artery before splenic artery ligation.During the process,a cell saver helps to minimize blood loss and makes autoinfusion possible for patients with benign lesions.Third,preoperative administration of fibrinogen,platelet and essential styptieum combined with the cooperation between surgeons and anesthesi010gists are the key points of bloodless surgery which is important for the recovery of patients.Four common problems of splenectomy for massive splenomegaly should also be addressed,including operation discontinuance,perioperative hemorrhage,accessory injury and postoperative intractable fever.

Phytoestrogens (PEs) and estrogen receptorβ(ERβ) have close relationship with breast cancer. PEs preferentially binds to ERβ rather than ERa. Although there are still some arguments, it provides a new though for researching the mechanism of Phytoestrogen-containing herbs on breast cancer and exploring the essence of TCM theory.

To guarantee the basic quality of nursing service, many countries have carried out the licensure examinations for registered nurses, which are used not only to evaluate the quality of nursing education but also to guide the development of education. This paper reviewed the process of the establishment of the systems, and outlined the features of the examinations in content design, organization and implementation, improvement and development trends in both China and America in order to improve ours.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To observed the correlation between Th17 cell level and the symptom severity and prognostic factors of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) , and to explore the clinical application value of Th17 cell level in assessing the prognosis of patients with COPD.METHODS:The patients with diagnosed COPD ( n=110) in our hospital during May 2013 to December 2014, and 40 healthy subjects were enrolled in the study.According to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease ( GOLD) , the COPD patients were divided into group A ( low risk, less symptoms) , group B (low risk, more symptoms), group C (high risk, less symptoms) and group D (high risk, more symptoms), which were given inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting β2 agonist or corticosteroid/long-acting β2 agonist +long-acting anti-muscarinic agent treatment for 3 months.The proportion of Th17 cells, cytokines (IL-17 and IL-6), the COPD assessment test ( CAT) score, age, body mass index, pulmonary function and the times of acute exacerbation of COPD in previous 1 year were observed before and after treatment.The correlation analysis between the level of Th17 cells and other clinical characteristics was performed.RESULTS:Th17 cell, IL-17 and IL-6 levels in COPD group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05).With the increase in the severity of COPD symptoms, Th17 cells, cytokines (IL-17 and IL-6) and CAT score in groups B and D were significantly higher than those in groups A and C (P<0.05).The univariate analysis showed that the levels of Th17 cells in groups B and D before treatment were positively correlated with the CAT score (P<0.05), which were negatively correlated with FEV1, FEV1%Pred, FVC and FVC%Pred.The levels of Th17 cells were not correlated with the CAT score, FEV1 , FEV1%Pred, FVC and FVC%Pred in groups A and C.The levels of Th17 cells after treatment were positively correlated with the CAT score, which were negatively correlated with FEV1 , FEV1%Pred, FVC and FVC%Pred (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The peripheral Th17 cell level has a good correlation with IL-17, IL-6, CAT score and pulmonary function in COPD patients, suggesting a potential value to predict the symptom severity and prognosis of COPD.

The main methods examing artery function are measuing pulse wave velocity,augmentation index of reflected wave and the expansibility and compliance of specified artery by ultrasound examination.The methods evaluating artery structure includes the examination of the intima-media thickness,the detection of plaques and the calculation of ankle-brachial BP index.The above methods could be used to stratify the risk of hypertension patients.

Objective To evaluate the effect of antimicrobial management guideline on the daily antimicrobial use rate in a general hospital.Methods An one-day point-prevalence survey on antimicrobial use in hospitalized patients was conducted in 2010,2011,and 2012 by means of cross-sectional investigation method.Results The daily utiliza-tion rate of antimicrobial agents in 2010,2011,and 2012 was 65.40% ,42.09% and 26.74% respectively,the rate of the submission of specimens for bacterial culture was 22.53% ,35.74% and 41.74% respectively(χ2 trend= 266.42, 29.02,respectively,bothP<0.01). The utilization rate of single drug was 83.72% ,80.27% and 93.41% respec-tively. the utilization rate of both two-drug and more than three-drug combination kept a downward tendency. The utilization rate of antimicrobial agents in several departments(digestive internal medicine,cardiovascular,hematolog-ical tumor,neurology,general surgery,orthopedics,obstetrics,pediatrics,and ophthalmology)showed a decreasing tendency(all P<0 .0 1 ).Conclusion The implementation of antimicrobial management guideline has remarkably re-duced the daily antimicrobial use rate,and increased etiological detection rate for therapeutic antimicrobial use.

The incidence of invasive fungal infection in critically ill patients is increasing year by year. Its clinical manifestation lacks specificity which is difficult for early diagnosis. It′s hard to identify inva-sive fungal infection with fungal colonization in clinical practice. We need to find out the way to distinguish them.
