To review and summazie the literatures of clinical studies using promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis for the patients with PSD in the past five years. The TCM treating principles of promoting blood and Qi circulation, promoting blood and nourishing blood flow, promoting blood and benefiting Qi, promoting blood and eliminating phlegm have showed their beneficial clinical effect and few adverse reactions. It provided good ideas for the treatment of PSD.

Objective: To observe the inhibitory effects of matrine, oxymatrine and sophordine on expression of CD91 and CD13 and secretion of TNF-α in macrophage RAW264.7. Methods: Macrophages were cultured in 6-hole plate and coverslip was prepared. Then macropages were cultured one day with different concentrations(0,12. 5,25,50,100,200 mg/L) of matrine, oxymatrine and sophordine; the expression of CD91 and CD13 by immunohistochemical dyeing was analyzed by Image-Pro plus system (Media Cybemetic, Inc. , 6.0 edition). Meanwhile, the levels of TNF-α in the culture medium of macrophages were examined by ELISA. Results: Matrine, oxymatrine and sophordine could all inhibit CD91 and CD13 expression in macrophage RAW264.7, and the inhibition varied with the concentrations of matrine, oxymatrine and sophordine; the inhibitory effect of matrine was the most prominent one. Moreover, matrine, oxymatrine and sophordine also inhibited the secretion of TNF-α. Conclusion: Matrine, oxymatrine and sophordine can greatly inhibit expression of CD91 and CD13 and secretion of TNF-α in macrophage RAW264.7.

Smart classroom as the basis support of classroom teaching, should set the function of smart teaching, real-time interaction, environmental control, video monitoring and remote control, teaching reform, evaluation feedback and other functions into an organic whole, and by using new technology integration and development, to achieve the optimization of the teaching effect. In view of the characteristics of practice and complexity of medical teaching, The spatial structure of smart class-room should provide long-distance education, remote operation, live classroom group discussion, group exhibition, HD recording, classroom attendance voting and other functions, and by choosing the appro-priate teaching mode in teaching to promote the innovation and development of medical teaching.

Brain ischemic tolerance refers to endogenous brain protective mechanism during severe ischemic injury of the body. Ischemia preconditioning is an effective mean to induce brain ischemic tolerance. However, the invasive and ethical limitation made the application of ischemic preconditioning difficult in the clinical practice. Studies found that extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway played an important role in the formation of brain ischemic tolerance. Meanwhile, brain ischemic tolerance induced by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) had its unique advantages. This article reviewed effects of ERK signaling pathway in the inducing of brain ischemic tolerance and TCM intervention in recent years.

Objective To study the clinical and image features of the aortic dissecting aneurysm(AD) combined with aberrant right subclavian arteries(ARSA),and to discuss the feasibility of endovascular repair for such disorder.Methods The clinical and image data of 4 patients,who suffered from AD combined with ARSA and admitted in the authors' service during 2004 to 2007,were retrospectively reviewed.All the 4 cases complained severe aches in their back,and one of them was companied with aches in upper abdomen.CT-exam showed that the first tear(gap) of AD located near or inside ARSA,the truncus aortae narrowed obviously.Four operational prescriptions were performed respectively for the 4 patients depending on the location of gaps and on the distance between the gap and ARSA.Results All the 4 cases received satisfy operation.A slight early leakage occurred in the first case without steal syndrome,and the lower blood pressure was 80 mmHg on right arm;for the second case,no leakage occurred with normal blood presser on both arms;for the third one a slight early leakage was companied with normal blood presser on both arms and for the fourth one a slight early leakage occurred without steal syndrome,and the lower blood presser was 60mmHg on right arm.Conclusion AD combined with ARSA is a rare case in clinic.The modus operandi of endovascular repair should be designed based on the situation of individual case considering the location of the first tear.Once the target area exposed is not wide enough for operation,subclavian artery bypass would be a right way in reduction of leakage complications and in increasing the opportunity for a successful operation.
