OBJECTIVE: To systematically understand natural philosophical medical mode that is the important component part of theoretical medicine studies, to further explain its theoretical values and application significance, so as to promote the constant improvement of medical mode.DATA SOURCES: Based on Social Medicine---Evolution of Medical Mode---Empirical Medical Mode, synthesized the features of TCM, Chinese thought history, Chinese cultural history and the research method features, puts forward to the systematic understanding of natural philosophical medical mode.STUDY SELECTION: Data was selected from social medical data, TCM data, Chinese cultural data and thought history data. The selected data can embody outlook of nature, abstract thinking features and mode features.The data was analyzed and grouped to reveal the application of the thoughts and methods of natural philosophy in the understanding of health and diseases.DATA EXTRACTION: Among 23 papers, the data was mainly selected from 6 papers including Shanggu Tianzhen Lun, Shengqi Tongtian Lun and Zangqi Fa Shi Lun. The thoughts, theory and understanding from these materials are used to expound the natural and social phenomena of the human body, and get the conclusion that the qualitative analysis is sufficient,while the quantitative concepts are scanty; subjective experiences and clinical disproof theory are plentiful while concrete proof analysis and morphological injury principles are scarce.DATA SYNTHESIS: Based on the influences of holism and methodology of natural philosophy, the natural philosophical medical mode can only grasp the life phenomena organically. It attaches importance to the generalization of the relationships and phenomena above the level of the human body, but pays less attention to the concrete structure analysis below the level of human body. Therefore it emphasizes the interactive roles of the four-dimension structure of the heaven, earth, people and ethics in human health and diseases, invented many difficult material concepts to specify the physiological and pathological concepts. The life principles are invariable, the content of qi mechanism remains constant. All diseases can be understood, syndrome-differentiated and presc ribed. However the medical concepts are mostly cited from ancient philosophical concepts and the general level of medical theory remains in this level of thoughts.CONCLUSION: Natural philosophical medical mode centers upon social science, social phenomena and social psychology as its main tool. It attaches more importance to the essential attribute of man, namely the social attribute. By contrast the biological medical mode attaches importance to the natural attribute of man. namely the biological attribute. The two factors constitute the two sides of one thing. Compared with the present medical mode of biology---psychology---society, the natural philosophical medical mode not only has its systematic nature and holism, but also clinical therapeutic theory and more operational nature. It may enlighten people's wisdom and is an art of understanding health and diseases. Thus it possesses very important research significance and clinical application values.

Objective To establish human neural stem cells(HNSCs) model for further basic research and clinical application. Methods Cells from human fetal cerebral cortex were collected and cultured with serum free midium and then identified for nestin immunocytochemical staning;The cells were induced to differentiate by 5% fetal bovin serum and identified by neurofilament-200(NF-200) and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) immunocytochemical staning. Results The harvested cells appeared as clusters in suspension and both NF-200 and GFAP positive cells were observed after induction.After 12 generations of culture,these cells retained the main characteristics of NSCs.Conclusions The HNSCs were harvested from human fetal cerebral cortex and this HNSCs model can be used for futher basic research and clinical applications.;

Objective To investigate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on starting of wnt3 gene and klotho gene of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) of rabbit.Methods Epididymal adipose tissue stem cells were obtained from New Zealand white rabbits,and the cells identified by morphology and inducing differentiation,and the cells were cultured to the fourth generation,PRP and PPP (platelet-poor plasma) were prepared by traditional centrifugal method from abdominal aortic of rabbit; ADSCs were cultured in culture medium containing PRP (experimental group),PPP (control group) and all medium (blank group) for each 5％ for 24h,48h and 72h.Cells of each group were dissociated and total RNA extracted.Effects of the starting of wnt3 gene and klotho gene were detected by RT-PCR.Results Primary ADSCs of rabbit grew in the way of long spindle swirly.The results of oil red O and alizarin red staining of the ADSCs were positive.Expression of wnt3 gene and klotho gene in the experimental group significantly increased from the results of RT-PCR (P＜0.05).Conclusions PRP can promote proliferation of the ADSCs of rabbit and increase the expression of wnt3 gene and klotho gene significantly.

As the basis of the health management of the elderly, weight management should receive attention from medical practitioners.However, there is an ongoing debate on the ideal range of body mass index for elderly in China.This article aimed to find the suitable body mass index for Chinese old people by reviewing the literature regarding the body mass and obesity of the elderly.Lots of evidence show that overweight and mild obesity appear to be the optimal weight status for the elderly.

Objective To construct DNA vaccine expressing Mycobacterium tuberculosis(Mtb) immunodominant antigen Ag85A and analyze its anti-tuberculosis T cell responses in BCG primed-mice after DNA vaccination boosting.Methods The coding gene of Ag85A mature fragment was amplified by PCR with H37Rv genomic DNA as template,and then cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pVAX1 to construct Ag85A DNA vaccine.After purification,Ag85A DNA vaccine was injected intramuscularly twice in BCG primed-mice with BCG vaccination and DNA vaccination alone as control.Eight weeks post-vaccination,spleen lymphocytes were separated and were then used to analyze Mtb antigen specific effector T cell response and polyfuntional IFN-γ/TNF-α/IL-2 secreting CD4+ T cell frequencies and intensities,and CD8+T cell responses by IFN-γ ELISPOT assay and intracellular staining,respectively.Results Compared to BCG vaccinated-and DNA vaccinated-mice,Ag85A DNA boosting not only enhanced significantly BCG primed-mice IFN-γ+TNF-α+IL-2+,IFN-γ+ IL-2+,TNF-α+IL-2+ and IL-2+ CD4+ T cell frequencies and IL-2 secretion,but also improved significantly IFN-γ-secreting and IL-2-secreting CD8+ T cell frequencies.Condusion Ag85A DNA vaccine was constructed successfully and was demonstrated to enhance significantly BCG primed-mice Mtb antigen specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses when boosting,which is beneficial to improve BCG immunogenicity and its waning immune protection against Mtb.
