Functional analysis concisely summarizes and concentrates on the therapeutic characteristics and features of Chinese herbal medicine. Standardization of the terms for Chinese herbal functions not only plays a key role in modern research and development of Chinese herbal medicine, but also has far-reaching clinical applications. In this paper, a new method for standardizing the terms for Chinese herbal function was proposed. Firstly, functional targets were collected. Secondly, the pathological conditions and the mode of action of every functional target were determined by analyzing the references. Thirdly, the relationships between the pathological condition and the mode of action were determined based on Chinese medicine theory and data. This three-step approach allows for standardization of the terms for Chinese herbal functions. Promoting the standardization of Chinese medicine terms will benefit the overall clinical application of Chinese herbal medicine.

ObjectiveTo study the therapeutic efficacy of lamivudine in preventing the activity of hepatitis B virus in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatitis B virus infection. MethodsFrom March 1999 to March 2000,72patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatitis B virus infection were divided into 2 groups in complete randomization. In group 1,38 patients were treated with lamivudine 100mg/qd during perioperative period. Before and after operation,we detected HBV DNA with assay of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR). The control group(2) wasn't given anti-hepatitis B virus treatment. ResultsThe results showed that in group 2,the copies of HBV DNA in sera one week,two weeks after operations were significantly higher than those before the operation(P<0.01);in group 1,the copies of HBV DNA in sera one week,two weeks after operations were significantly lower than those before operation(P<0.01),all within the safety threshold;between group 1 and group 2,the indexes of ALT in sera and Child status didn't significantly change before and after operation.The postoperative complications were significantly different two weeks after operation.Conclusion It suggests that surgical interventions may result in promoting the process of HBV replication,the activity of HBV infection should be treated in perioperation, and the replication of HBV can be inhibited by lamivudine safely to the safety threshold within a short time, though lamivudine doesn't improve the liver biochemistry significantly.

Functional targets are the objects that Chinese herbal medicines act directly upon. If the relationships between the properties of Chinese herbs and their functional targets were analyzed clearly, it would benefit the overall understanding of the holistic mechanisms of Chinese herbal treatments. In this paper, data regarding the properties of Chinese herbs and their functional targets were collected from the 2005 edition of The People's Republic of China Pharmacopoeia. After analyzing and assessing the data, the relationships were defined between the four qi, meridian entry and medicinal functional targets and between the four qi, five flavors and mode of function. Then the relationships between a single herbal medicine and a prescription were analyzed, and the results conformed with the traditional knowledge of Chinese herbal nature and efficacy. This demonstrated that the holistic mechanisms of the properties of Chinese herbs adhere to the findings, which may be beneficial for the development and compatibility of Chinese herbal medicines.

Objective To study the risk factors of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA)infection and homology of PA isolated from nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients undergoing radiotherapy,and prevent and control the spread of in-fection.Methods Bacteria isolated from clinical specimens were identified by BD Phoenix automated microbiology system. Gene homology were analyzed with randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)technique.Results Forty-nine strains of PA were mainly isolated from 43 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients,the major specimens were nasopharyngeal swab (46.94% ),sputum(32.65% ),and oral secretion (10.20% ).All these strains were amplified 46 electrophore-sis diagrams,and 19 genotypes were identified. The highly homologous genotypes of type H and J strains were mainly isolated from patients in the second section (57.14% ,4/7)and fourth section (60.00% ,3/5)of radiotherapy department respectively. Conclusion Localized epidemic of highly homologous PA exists in different sections of ward,transfer of patients between different sections is the risk factor for homology PA infection/colonization. Gen-otyping technique such as RAPD for analyzing the homology of pathogenic bacteria in healthcare-associated infection has important value in preventing and control Ling infection spread.

The major satisfaction of college students will influence their learning interest and motivation, and then influence their learning achievement and future employment. Under the guidance of the concept of the micro system engineering of the education reform, the degree of the major satis-faction of the students in TCM colleges is analyzed by SIMPP method. The results show that students' behavior mode such as their preview situation, teaching adaptation, course satisfaction, students' achievement and their attitude of poor academic performance is closely related to the degree of major satisfaction. Teachers can judge the degree of major satisfaction by following these pattern behaviors;improve the rationality and accuracy of the degree of major satisfaction.
