The paper also explored the policy for constructing library alliaqce and put forward the developing treads of this alliance.

ObjectiveTo overview the relationship between translational medicine and Chinese medicine, and the developments of translational medicine in TCM. MethodsResearch and reporting literatures on translational medicine m TCM and western medicine were collated and analyzed. The development and application of translational medicine was introduced. ResultsTranslational medicine has been successfully introduced into the realm of TCM applications and researches. ConclusionThe rise of translational medicine will promote the development of Chinese medicine and provide better opportunities for innovation.

The establishment of overseas traditional Chinese medical book database provides a new approach to help Chinese medical researchers to catch on the overseas Chinese medicine development. Overseas traditional Chinese medical book database is introduced and the overseas development of Chinese medicine has been discussed by using statistic results from the database in this paper.

This article described the importance of mechanism refonil in the graduate student training and presented its contents.Also,It summarized the characteristics of the reforill proposals in some universities,and analyzed the problems required to attend and solve ia the refogln.The characteristics of the proposals included to set up innovative fund by university,to perform the student awarded police of tutor leading,to establish the scientific system in recruiting students.By analyzing the problems developed during the reform four measures were lannched,which included to establish evaluating system in assessing students,to create a good relationship between students and tutors,to improve the ability and morality of tutors,and to adjust the management method of research funding.It would be possible to reach the objective of perfecting the reform proposal during the implementation of the measures.

Objective To explore the main affecting factors on sanitary quality of public places and to assess the sanitary quality scientifically. Methods The sanitary qualities of 6 kinds of public places of entertainment in Taiyuan during 1998～2000 were assessed using the method of compreheusive fuzzy assessmeat. Results All of 6 kinds of public places revealed similar sanitary qualities. All of the sanitary indexes accorded with the related National Sanitary Standards. The sanitary qualities were better for ballrooms, theaters, bar and billiard rooms in hotels with Grade Ⅰ quality, and were worse for tennis and bowling halls with Grade Ⅱ quality. The assessments on single index showed that the affecting factors of sanitary quality of public places of entertainment were the levels of CO2, noise and CO. Conclusion The sanitary quality of entertainment public places was better during 1998～2000.

Objective To study whether the mechanism of mifepristone in treating adenomyosis is suppressing matrix metalloproteinase-9 and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1(MMP-9/TIMP-1). Methods Thirty-five patients in the mifepristone treated group(19 cases of adenomyosis) and the control group(16 cases of adenomyosis,non-drug treated) underwent hysterectomy.Endometrium was looked as eutopic endometrium and adenomyosis as ectopic endometrium.Expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in eutopic and ectopic endometrium were measured by immunohistochemical techniques. Results The ectopic endometrium of the mifepristone treated group expressed lower level of MMP-9,higher level of TIMP-1 and lower ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1 than the ectopic endometrium of the control group(P

Objective To investigate the relationship of plasma level of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with essential hypertension. Methods The plasma level of BNP was measured with electrochemiluminescence immunoassay method in 32 hyper- tensive patients without left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) (NLVH group), 30 patients with essen- tial hypertension with LVH (LVH group), and 30 healthy adults (control group). Doppler echocar- diography was employed to determine left ventrieular mass index (LVMI) and observe the correlation of plasma BNP level with LVMI. Results The plasma BNP level was significantly elevated in LVH group than that of NLVH group and control group (P<0.01). The plasma BNP level was significant- ly higher in NLVH group than that of control group (P<0.01). BNP level was positively correlated with LVMI in hypertensive patients with LVH (r= 0.64, P<0. 01). Conclusion BNP level may reflex the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with essential hypertension.

In the circumstance of information age,this article made an analysis on the publish and distribution channels of medical professional literature.With the prosperity and development of the publishing industry,and diversified distribution channels,medical professional literature personnel must comply with the pace of the times,actively extended interview channels.

In this paper, the history, problems being encountered in current situation and significance of carrying out standardization of TCM literature classification were discussed.

[Summary] Regional cerebral oxygen saturation ( rSO2 ) can be used to monitor the changes of cerebral oxygen demand and supply, and postoperative cognitive dysfunction ( POCD ) is a relatively common adverse effect following cardiac surgery. The intraoperative rSO2 decrease may associate with the incidence of POCD. Real-time intraoperative monitoring of rSO2 and necessary interventions performed to correct cerebral rSO2 desaturation may reduce the incidence of POCD of cardiac surgery.
