Xiaozhenjie (Miraculous Pivot Chapter 3: Annotation of Fine Needle) is the earliest annotation of Jiuzhen Shieryuan (Miraculous Pivot Chapter 1: Nine Needles and Twelve Yuan-Primary Acupoints). There are particularly 24 annotations of qi in the chapter. Based on the original literature, the styles of qi annotationsl were divided into three categories. By comparing with the original text, semantic features of qi annotations were reasoned. In reference to the understandings and notes of qi annotations given by the scholars of different dynasties, the origin of qi connotation in the ancient time was clarified so as to provide the historical evidence to the for-mation of this unique "qi language" and "qi worldview". It presents the instructive significance to understand and interpret "qi" for the scholars in the modern time.

The accurate annotation of ashi points depends on the understanding of ashi. The main reasons for the divergence of current three viewpoints on the annotation of ashi are the literature basis and its different interpretations. By conducting a comprehensive collection of ancient and modern literature and analyzing different interpretation methods, the original meaning of ashi is studied, so as to explain the understanding of ashi points and ashi method.

Objective To review the recent studies on the multidrug resistance of breast cancer. Methods The literatures of recent years on the studies of multidrug resistance, multidrug resistance protein and breast cancer resistance protein were reviewed. Results Multidrug resistance resulted from multiple factors. How to identify the sensibility of chemotherapy drugs and select individual therapeutic regime early were important to improve the survival rate and life quality of breast cancer patients.Conclusion These studies on multidrug resistance of breast cancer are helpful to predicting the effect and outcome of chemotherapy and overcoming the barrier of drug resistance.

Objective To describe the diagnosis and preoperation evaluation of pancreatic carcinoma with spiral CT three-phase contrastenhanced scan and post-processing.Methods Three-phase helical CT enhanced scan and post-processing images of 41 patients with pancreatic carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed,including the location,size,characteristic of tumor and peripancreatic blood vessels,the results were compared with that of surgery.Results Low degree of enhancement of pancreatic carcinoma in pancreatic phase was showed compared with parenchymal phase.There was significant difference in density between focus and normal pancreas,the lesions were showed clearly.In comparison with surgical results,the diagnostic accuracy of CT was 80.7% and the accurate rate in evaluating the metastasis was 75.8%.Conclusion Three-phase helical CT enhanced scan and postprocessing are of great value in diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma and it is helpful in choosing the treatment program preoperatively and assessing the respectability of tumors.

Nowadays,family detergent has become necessary content in families,a great deal of detergent,specifically,chemical synthesis detergent is used and goes into water and pollutes the water and severely affects aquatic creatures.The active component of family detergent is linear alkylbenzenesulfonate(LAS).Recently,family detergent is emphasized for its toxicity and pollution.This paper summarized the status of toxicity and pollution of family detergent.

Objective To determine the investigation progression on exemestane in the treatment of breast cancer. Methods The literatures of recent years on the studies of exemestane were reviewed. Results Exemestane is an effective steroidal aromatase inactivator with superior tolerability, safety and efficacy in the adjuvant, neo-adjuvant and metastatic therapy of breast cancer. Conclusion With the progression of clinical trial with exmestane, exemestane will be regarded as an important drug in comprehensive therapy of breast cancer.

Sleep deprivation, as a stress just like starvation and anoxia, can induce the physiological function changes, such as emotion disorders, cognition disorders, and immune disorders. Oxidative stress is common in cells and is closely related to aging, Alzheimer disease, Pakinson diseases, etc. Previous studies showed that sleep deprivation could induce oxidative stress via different pathways, namely, the increase of the metabolic rate and free radicals, the depress of antioxidant ability, and the indirect effects of endoplasmic reticulum stress. In this review we summarize the recent progress on the above fields.

OBJECTIVE:To facilitate a high performance operation of drug supply chain so as to provide satisfactory service for patients,the common terminal customers.METHODS:The principle of customer demand driven in drug supply chain and the significance of customer demand driven in drug supply chain management as well as the role hospitals played in the practice of the customer demand driven-based drug supply chain management were analyzed and qualitatively described.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:In the environment of buyers' market of drugs,as the terminal customers' envoy plenipotentiary and the best valuable clients in the drug market,hospitals play a key role in back driving drug supply chain's high performance operation.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the quality standard of New Tongzhi surunjiang capsule. METHODS:Qualitative identification of Folium Sennae,Crocus sativus and Colchicum autumnale was conducted by TLC method. The content of gallic acid in the formulation was determined by HPLC. RESULTS:The TLC spots of Folium Sennae,Crocus sativus and Colchicum autumnale were clear and well-isolated. The linear range of gallic acid was 0.155 7～1.401 3 ?g(r=0.999 8) with a mean recovery rate of 101%(RSD=1.64%,n=9).CONCLUSION:The established standard is suitable for the quality control of New Tongzhi surunjiang capsule.
