Neck lumbar traction bed is through the computer control motor and hydraulic transmission device, implementation of traditional Chinese medicine traction, Angle rotation and manual reduction action of a device, etc. Saving time and effort can well meet the needs of the treatment on lumbar disease. Based on the failure phenomenon of traction bed hydraulic transmission device, the composition and working principle analysis of the hydraulic system, concluded that failure of the hydraulic transmission device is due to the pressure gauge damaged or blocked between the tubing and the overflow valve, which allows users to quickly troubleshoot.

Being a part of the microcirculatoty system,retinal microvasculature may have similar morphology change as cardio-and cerebro-microvasculature under the pathological conditions.Although no study has proved that there exists causal relationship between retinal microvasculature change and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) , realizing their connection is extremely vital for ophthalmologists to evaluate the status of the systemic microcirculation, predict the occurrence of CVD, and proceed primary prevention by visible information of retinal microvascular alteration.In addition,for the patients suffering from retinal vascular occlusion,especially those with undiagnosed systemic diseases like CVD,ignoring systemic examinations may delay proper treatment and lead to the consequences of ill health.In conclusion, ophthalmologists should recognize the association of retinal microvasculature changes with systemic vascular diseases and provide useful information for primary prevention and early diagnosis and treatment of systemic vascular diseases.

Objective: To observe the therapeutic efficacy of pediatric tuina plus Chinese patent medicine for preschool kids with diarrhea due to spleen deficiency. Methods:Ninety-two eligible kids were divided into a tuina plus Chinese patent medicine and a Chinese patent medicine group by the random number table, with 46 cases in each group. The Chinese patent medicine group was intervened by oral administration of Qi Wei Bai Zhu San (Seven-ingredientAtractylodes MacrocephalaPowder); the tuina plus Chinese patent medicine group was additionally given pediatric tuina therapy once a day, 20 min each time. Efficacy and safety were evaluated after 7-day treatment in both groups, and a 14-day follow-up was conducted. Results:After treatment, the symptom scores all changed significantly in the two groups (allP<0.05). After intervention, the symptom scores in the tuina plus Chinese patent medicine group were significantly different from those in the Chinese patent medicine group (allP<0.05). The total effective rate was 78.3％ in the Chinese patent medicine group, versus 89.1％ in the tuina plus Chinese patent medicine group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Three cases got a relapse in the Chinese patent medicine group, versus one case in the tuina plus Chinese patent medicine group, and the between-group difference was statistically insignificant (P>0.05). The two groups each had one case of vomiting, which were treated properly and turned better. No other adverse reactions occurred. Conclusion: Tuina plus Chinese patent medicine and Chinese patent medicine alone both are effective for diarrhea due to spleen deficiencyin kids, but the combined therapy can produce more significant efficacy.

Objective To investigate the role of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway in hyperoxia-induced expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in A549 cells.Methods The cultured A549 cells were seeded in 6-well culture plates at a density of 1 × 105 cells/ml (0.5 ml/well,24 wells in total) and were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:control group (group C);95％ oxygen group (group 95％ O2);room air plus SP600125 (JNK inhibitor) group (group C+SP);95％ oxygen plus SP600125 group (group 95％ O2+SP).SP600125 5 μmol/L was added to each well in C+SP and 95％ O2+SP groups.The A549 cells were incubated for 48 h in an incubator filled with room air (C and C+SP groups) or 95％ oxygen (95％ O2 and 95％ O2+SP groups).The expression of phosphorylated JNK (p-JNK) and CTGF mRNA was determined using Western blot and realtime reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction,respectively.Results Compared with group C,no significant change was found in the expression of p-JNK and CTGF mRNA in group C+SP (P＞0.05),and the expression of p-JNK and CTGF mRNA was significantly up-regulated in group 95％ O2 (P＜ 0.05).Compared with group 95％ O2,the expression of p-JNK and CTGF mRNA was significantly down-regulated in group 95％ O2+SP (P＜0.05).Conclusion JNK signaling pathway activation is involved in up-regulation of hyperoxia-induced CTGF mRNA expression in A549 cells.

Schistosome is covered by a living syncytium, called tegument, which plays important role in nutrient uptake and immune evasion.Recently, tegumental proteomic research identified lots of proteins, of which there may be potential targets for diagnosis, drugs and vaccines.

Intraperitoneal. injection of the essential oils of Asarum himalaicum and A. heterotropides var. mand shuricum can inhibit the proliferation of granuloma induced by implantation of cotton pellets in rats, and change the distribution of Copper and Zinc,the two necessary trace elements for rats,in rat serum and liver.They reduce concentration of Zinc but increase that of Copper in the serum,while elevate the concentration of Zinc but reduce that of Copper in liver. The oil of A. himalaicum collected from Ningxia Region showed even stronger effects.

Objective To explore the dynamic variation of inhibin B(INHB)in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)in the course of controlled ovarian stimulation(COS).To analyze the correlation between the increment of serum INHB and the dosage of Gn and the number of oocytes in PCOS.Methods Immunohistochemistry was performed to assess the level of INHB in 90 patients with PCOS and 20 normal childbearing period women in the course of COS.We collected the blood samples of all the patients on the third day of the menstrual(day 3),the day start to administrate exogenous gonadotropin(Gn day),five days later of the Gn day(Gn5 day)and the day of HCG injection(HCG day),respectively.Results Compared with the control group,the serum level of INHB was higher in the PCOS group,regardless day3,Gn day,Gn5 day and HCG day,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.01).In the course of COS,the level of serum INHB in the tow groups was increased.In the PCOS group,the greater the ΔINHB(the growth of the serum level of INHB on Gn5 day),the less of the Gn dosage,and the more number of oocytes retrieved.Conclusion In the process of COS,the serum level of INHB has obvious change.The serum levels of INHB reduce after pituitary down -regulation,then increase after COS.

Background and Purpose:To analyse the chromosome of peripheral lymphocytes and tissue samples of lung cancer for the long term survival patients after surgery,which could provide the rationale for the screening of relative genes of carcinogenesis and clinical treatment of lung cancer.Methods:Twenty patients with over 5 year survival after operation were defined as long term survival group.There were 9 patients with squamous cell carcinoma,6 with adenocarcinoma and 5 with small cell carcinoma in the long term survival group.The control group was defined as the samples from the patients with lung cancer who had surgery within one year and had to be randomly chosen,8 patients were histologically proven as squamous cell carcinoma,7 as adenocarcinoma and 5 as small cell carcinoma in the control group.The samples from healthy donors were defined as the normal group.The chromosome variations of peripheral lymphocytes in all these 3 groups were analyzed by routine methods.The comparative genomic hybridization of the embed-paraffin tissue sample of lung carcinoma was done by the DeVries methods.Results:In the long term survival group,the chromosome variations rate of lymphocytes was 3.15%,which was lower than that of the control group(3.15% vs 10.85%,P

It is important to analyze the epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) mutation before makingstrategyonnon-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) patients scheduled to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor ( TKI) therapy .Digital PCR is a new generation of molecular diagnostic technique that provides ultra-highersensitive, specific and absolute nucleic acid quantification based on its unique principle.The application of digital PCR indetecting circulate tumor DNA can be the truly tumorliquid biopsy, helps to acquire the accurate EGFR mutation status from peripheral blood and screen out the most appropriate patients for TKI therapy.This breakthrough technology will also contribute to tumor surveillance and drug resistance monitoring.
