Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2017;16(7):657-661
Precision medicine is a medical model that proposes the individual therapy,with a joint medical method of genomics,proteomics,metabolomics and clinical big data tailored to the individual patient.The diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer have entered the model of precision medicine with the entering the era of precision medicine.In this article,authors summarized the recent progress of diagnosis and therapy under the guidance of precision medicine,with an aim to provide some new clues for surgeons and supports for precision prevention,diagnosis and therapy.
2.Mechanism and Treatment of Muscle Spasticity after Spinal Cord Injury(review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2006;12(7):559-562
Muscle spasticity is one of the common complications in the paraplegic patients who suffer from spinal cord injury (SCI). Spasticity can result in limbs pain, joint contracture and malformation, then affects walking and the capability of keeping the posture in wheelchairs. Moreover, spasticity can increase the incidence rate of heterotopic ossification and fracture and seriously affects patients' daily life and rehabilitation therapy accordingly. There are many kinds of treatments aimed at spasticity at present, such as drug, exercise therapy, physiotherapy, nerve block treatment, operation treatment, and so on. However, single treatment doesn't achieve good effect. So it is common that many kinds of treatments are combined to treat spasticity. This article simply introduces the mechanism, symptom and evaluation of the muscle spasticity after SCI and discusses in full the treatment of the muscle spasticity by reviewing recent literatures.

4.Clinical significance of serum procalcitotin in children with Kawasaki disease at acute stage
Tianjin Medical Journal 2017;45(1):43-46
Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significance of serum procalcitonin (PCT) level in children with acute phase of Kawasaki disease (KD). Methods The serum PCT levels and their changes before and after the treatment in 120 children with KD at acute phase were retrospectively analyzed. According to the results of ultrasonic echocardiography, all children were divided into coronary artery damage (CAL) group and no coronary artery lesion (NCAL) group. According to the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms, patients were divided into two groups (A: yes and B: no ). According to the presence of abnormal liver function, patients were divided into two groups (C:yes and D:no). PCT levels were compared between groups. Results The serum PCT levels were increased at acute phase in 56 (46.67%) patients before the treatment than those in normal children, which were decreased obviously after treatment (P<0.05). There were 31 cases combined with CAL, the rising rate of PCT was 38.71%, which was no significant difference compared with that of NCAL group (49.44%, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in serum PCT value between CAL group and NCAL group (P>0.05). The serum C-reactive protein level was significantly higher in CAL group than that of NCAL group. There were 35 patients combined with gastrointestinal symptoms in 120 KD patients. There was no significant difference in the rising rate of PCT between patients with gastrointestinal symptoms (62.86%) and patients without gastrointestinal symptoms (40.00%, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in serum PCT level between these two groups of patients. There were 42 cases with liver dyfunction in 120 KD patients, the PCT rising rate (52.38%) was no statistically significant difference compared with that of patients with no liver dyfunction (43.59%, P>0.05). And there was no significant difference in serum PCT value between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion PCT can reflect the acute phase of KD patients. The increased PCT level may be related with the emergence of gastrointestinal symptoms, even though it cannot predict CAL and the occurrence of liver damage.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of ethyl acetate fraction of Blumea balsamifera (BBE) residue on treating rats of adjuvant arthritis (AA) and its mechanism.
METHODThe rats were immunized with the Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA). After modeling, 28 days' treatment with BBE was performed. During the experimental process, rat mass, toe girth, arthritic index (AI), proliferation of immune organs and pathological section were measured. After treatment, blood samples were collected through fossa orbitalis vein for detection of serum SOD, MDA, GSH, NO, OH*, ALP, AST, ALT, NAG and SA content using colorimetric method and IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α content using ELISA method.
RESULTAdministration with BBE (high dose) could significantly ameliorate joint swelling and arthritis index, effectively inhibit synovial hyperplasia, down-regulate the levels of MDA, NO, OH*, ALP, AST, ALT, NAG, SA, IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α and up-regulate the SOD and GSH levels in serum.
CONCLUSIONThe results suggested BBE possesses substantial anti-arthritis and antioxidant activities.

All previous literatures about Chinese herbal medicines show distinctive traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) flavors. Compendium of Materia Medica is an influential book in TCM history. The TCM flavor theory and flavor standardization principle in this book has important significance for modern TCM flavor standardization. Compendium of Materia Medica pays attention to the flavor theory, explain the relations between the flavor of medicine and its therapeutic effects by means of Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming Dynasties. However,the book has not reflected and further developed the systemic theory, which originated in the Jin and Yuan dynasty. In Compendium of Materia Medica , flavor are standardized just by tasting medicines, instead of deducing flavors. Therefore, medicine tasting should be adopted as the major method to standardize the flavor of medicine.

The development of laparoscopic techniques has made surgical treatment enter into the era of minimally invasive surgery,and the application of three-dimensional (3D) high-definition laparoscopic system has brought the important innovation for laparoscopic techniques,meanwhile,it also provides stereoscopic visions and more accurate spatial orientation for surgeons.During the process of laparoscopic radical resection of lower rectal cancer,3D vision can help to identify blood vessels,nerve and tissues around the rectum,ensure accurate lymph node dissection,reduce difficulty of operation,and the learning curve of laparoscopic radical resection of lower rectal cancer for inferior surgeons might be shorten by using 3D imaging system.With the development of technology,the value on clinical application of 3D high-definition laparoscope will become more evident.
10.Experimental Study on Antitussive, Expectorant and Antiasthmatic Effects of Fortunella Hindsii Leaves
China Pharmacist 2017;20(2):256-258
Objective: To study the antitussive, expectorant and antiasthetic effects of Fortunella hindsii leaves. Methods: The antitussive effects were observed by the method of ammonia-induced cough in mice, the expectorant effects were observed by the method of phenolsulfonphthalein excretion in mice, and the antiasthmatic effects were observed by the method of histamine phosphate spray in guinea pigs. Results:The leaves of Fortunella hindsii at low, medium and high doses could decrease the cough times and prolong the cough latent period (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), high dose could promote the phenol red excretion (P<0. 05), and high and medium do-ses could prolong the incubation period of guinea pigs for asthma caused by histamine phosphate (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclu-sion:The leaves of Fortunella hindsii have promising antitussive, expectorant and antiasthmatic effects.
