Chinese traditional patent medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis(PBCRBS) originated from traditional Chinese medicine theory and had approved efficacy and safety standards. However, its compatibility regularity and anti-thrombotic mechanism is not clear. To analyze the compatibility regularity and anti-thrombotic mechanism of Chinese traditional patent medicine for PBCRBS, a statistical and bioinformatics analysis was carried out using traditional Chinese medicine inheritance support system (TICMISS, V2.0) and ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA). The compatibility regularity analysis shows that the most commonly used herb combinations are Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge.), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort.) and Honghua (Carthamustinctorius L.). The anti-thrombotic mechanism analysis reveals that 25 ingredients have an effect on 29 thrombosis related molecules which 23 molecules are related to inflammation response. Furthermore, there are 5 inflammation molecules (NOS2, PTGS2, IL6, TNF, IL1β) served as major targets. At the same time, Danshen, Chuangxiong and Honghua mainly used as sovereign herb or minister herb in the application of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, Chinese traditional patent medicine for PBCRBS probably has an effect on anti-thrombotic activity through inhibiting the inflammatory response. In summary, the most commonly used herb combinations of Chinese traditional patent medicine for PBCRBS are Danshen, Chuanxiong and Honghua. Inhibiting inflammatory response, especially inflammation related molecules (NOS2, PTGS2, IL6, TNF and IL1β), is probably a new starting point to clarify the anti-thrombotic mechanism of Chinese patent medicine for PBCRBS.

Objective Toinvestigatetheoperativeeffectandsafetyofendovascularstentingfor thetreatmentofsymptomaticvertebralarteryostialstenosis.Methods Fortypatientswithsymptomatic vertebral artery ostial stenosis and stenosis rate ≥70% were admitted to the Department of Neurology, China-Japan Friendship Hospital from November 2010 to January 2013 were enrolled retrospectively. All patients received endovascular stenting therapy,15 of them were implanted bare metal stents,and 25 were implanted drug eluting stents. The technical successful rate of operation,perioperation complications,and symptom remission rate of the patients were analyzed. At the same time,stroke and death incident as well as the related ischemic symptoms of the stent vascular feeding area in the follow-up period (13 to 36 months)wereobservedandtherestenosisratewasdocumented.Results Atotalof42stentswereimplanted in 40 patients,and the technical success rate was 100. 0%. The preoperative stenosis rate of vertebral artery ostial stenosis was 75% to 99%(mean 85 ± 7%);the postoperative stenosis rate was 0% to 20%(mean 6 ± 4%). There was no perioperative complication. The clinical symptoms of 19 patients disappeared completely,16 were improved significantly within the follow-up period,and the symptom remission rate was 87. 5%. No stent vascular feeding area related stroke and death occurred. Four patients had transient ischemic attack in posterior circulation,13 had restenosis after procedure (10 of them with bare mental stents and 3 with drug eluting stents). There was significant difference in restenosis rate between the bare mental stents andthedrugelutingstents(10/15vs3/25,P=0.001).Conclusion Endovascularstentingforthe treatment of the severe symptomatic vertebral artery ostial stenosis is a safe and efficient method. Although its restenosis rate is high,but it can improve the symptom of posterior circulation ischemia effectively.

Objective In the context of worldwide shortage of amytal,explore the intracarotidpropofol test for lateralizing language area and assessing hemispheric memory function.Methods Fourteen patients with refractory partial epilepsy who were candidates for surgical intervention were included in the study.With guide under a digital subtraction angiography,propofol was injected in bilateral intracarotidsequentially.Muscle power deceasing to level 0 at the contralateral limb and eyes gazing to contralateral side were used as the mark of hemispheric anesthesia completely.The immediate language alterations were recorded.To evaluate the bilateral language and memory functions,the visual and auditory memory tasks were performed sequentially once patient could concentrate his attention ; and after limb muscle power recovering to normal level,patients were required to perform a free recall test.Any abnormal responses were recorded.Results Language dominant hemisphere was determined in 14 patients.Nine patients were confirmed as left language dominance,2 patients were right language dominance.The remained 3 patients were considered as bilateral language dominance.Meanwhile,the hemispheric memory function was able be evaluated in 13 patients.More than 67% memory function was sustained in hemisphere contralateral to mesial temporal lesions.Transient responses including eye pain,facial muscle spasms,laughers and involuntary movements were observed.Conclusion Hemispheric language and memory functions can be assessed with direct intracarotidpropofol injection,and propofol could be an alternative drug to amobarbital used in the Wada test.

Objective:
To investigate the effects of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on healing of wounds with full-thickness skin defects in mice.
Methods:
ADSCs were isolated from the lumbar and abdominal fat donated voluntarily by a healthy woman undergoing liposuction in the Department of Plastic Surgery of Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Area Command, and the cells were cultured and identified. ADSCs of the second passage were used in the following experiments. The venous blood of the volunteer was taken, and PRP was obtained by secondary centrifugation. Thirty-six C57BL/6 mice were divided into simple injury group (

Objective:To comparative analyze the role and effectiveness of different healthcare consortium support models in enhancing the capacity of community health centers.Methods:Using community health service centers under the loose medical association support mode and the close medical association support mode as research subjects,the data on medical service capacity were quantitatively analyzed using DID(Difference-in-Difference).Results:Both close medical association and the loose medical association support models have increased the number of outpatient and emergency room visits,Chinese medicine consultations,and referrals to community health centers.The close medical association support model also increased the number of discharges from the community health centers.Conclusion:Close medical consortium can enhance the capacity of community health centers,and the effect is better than loose medical consortium.
