Objective To study the effect of binocular vision function training for fusion in the eye position and three levels of eye function in adult patients after concomitant strabismus surgery. Methods 56 cases with postoperative concomitant strabismus were randomly divided into training group and control group . In the training group, patients were trained with software to enhance the fusion. After training for 7, 30, 180 and 365 days, the eye position, the fusion and the stereoesthesia were observed and analyzed. Results After training for 365 days, the deteriorative ratio in the training group is 3%, which is significantly lower than control group (23%)(P<0.05). The correction ratio in eye position is 20%, which is significantly higher than control group (4%)(P<0.05). The recovery ratio in binocular vision function is 53%, which is significantly higher than control group (15%)(P<0.05). The recovery ratio in stereaeuity is 46%, which is significantly higher than control group (11%)(P<0.05). Conclusions Fusion training can enhance the recovery of fusion and stereaeuity, decrease the deteriorative ratio, and correct the eye position after surgery in concomitant strabismus patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between renal function and lipid metabolism in patients with chronic renal disease .Methods A total of 76 patients with chronic renal disease were enrolled and classified into chronic renal failure(CRF)group (29 cases) ,chronic nephritis(CN)group(21 cases) ,diabetic nephropathy (DN) group(14 cases) and nephrotic syndrome (NS) group (12 cases) ,and 65 healthy subjects were enrolled in control group ,the relationships between renal function ,lipid metabolism , hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and 24 hours urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) were analyzed .Results Urea ni-trogen(Urea) ,serum Cystatin C(CysC) ,cretinine(Cr) ,uric acid(UA) ,β2-microglobulin(β2-MG) ,hs-CRP ,low density lipoprotein (LDL-c) .Lp(a) .24h UAER were significantly higher in CN group;Urea ,Cr ,β2-MG ,CysC ,hs-CRP ,ApoA ,lipoprotein A[Lp(a)] , 24 h UAER were significant higher in DN group;Urea ,hs-CRP ,TC ,TG ,HDL-c ,LDL-c ,ApoB ,Lp(a) ,24h UAER were significant-ly highly in NS group;Urea ,Cr ,UA ,β2-MG ,CysC ,hs-CRP ,TG ,LDL-c ,Apolipoprotein b(ApoB) ,Lp(a) ,24 h UAER were signifi-cantly higher in CRF group .Conclusion With the changes of renal function in patients with chronic renal diease ,the lipid metabo-lism and hs-CRP also change .

Objective:To investigate the difference of biological characteristics and responses to PDGF-BB between human ovarian carcinoma-derived microvascular endothelial cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells.Methods:The ovarian carcinoma-derived microvascular endothelial cells were isolated and purifed from ovarian carcinoma tissues.Compared to the human umbilical vein endothelial cells,the biological characteristics and responses to PDGF-BB were observed in OdMEC for the changes of growth,PCNA and VEGF expression.Results:20ng/ml PDGF-BB could enhance both kinds of endothelial cells to proliferate,express PCNA and VEGF.The proliferation and PCNA protein expression in HUVEC were augmented more significantly than those in OdMEC,the protein and mRNA of VEGF expression were augmented more significantly than those in HUVEC.Conclusion:The responses of OdMEC to PDGF-BB were significantly different from those of HUVEC,which provides experiment basis for research on ovarian carcinoma vascularization and antiangiogenesis therapy.

Objective To study the efficacy of complete hemihepatic vascular exclusion (CHVE) in the prevention of tumour dissemination during liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).MethodsA case-control study was carried out on 281 patients who underwent liver resection for HCC between February 2006 and April 2010.89 patients underwent hepatic resection using CHVE (group A) and 192 using Pringle maneuver (group B).The postoperative 1-,2-,3 year rates of intrahepatic recurrence and lung metastasis,and the overall disease-free survivals were compared between the two groups.ResultsThe incidence of lung metastasis at 1 year after operation was significantly lower in group A than group B (6.7％ vs.15.1％,P=0.048).There were no signilicant differences in the incidences of lung metastasis at postoperative year 2 and 3 between the two groups (15.7％ vs.25.0％ and 32.6％ vs.30.7％ ; P＞0.05).The differences in the postoperative 1-,2-,3- year intrahepatic recurrence rates were not significant between the two groups (20.2％ vs.31.8％,51.7％ vs.60.3％,68.5％ vs.79.2％,respectively; P＞0.05).The median survivals of the two groups were 25.9 months and 21.7 months,respectively.Patients in group A had a significantly higher overall disease-free survival rate than patients in group B (P=0.035).ConclusionsCHVE was efficacious in reducing the incidence of lung metastasis and in improving the overall disease-free survival in patients after liver resection for HCC.CHVE contributed in preventing intraoperative tumour dissemination and in improving prognosis.

Eukaryotic cells maintain cellular homeostasis by regulating the process of protein degradation and organelle turnover.Autophagy is a ubiquitin-like degradation process,and plays an essential role in cellular development,differentiation,and elimination of damaged organelles and protein.Previous studies mostly focused autophagy on tumor and neurodegenerative diseases,whereas studies about autophagy and energy remain not clear.Since 2009,an increasing number of studies have showed light on the importance of autophagy in regulating lipid metabolism.The review focuses on the relationship between autophagy and differentiation of adipocytes,lipogenesis,and lipolysis.

In July 2002, the Women's Heath Initiative (WHI) clinical trial, designed to clarify the risks and benefits of combination hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to the postmenopausal women declared that interim safety review after an average follow-up of 5.2 years found that a combination of estrogen and progestin frequently prescribed to postmenopausal women in USA increased the risk of invasive breast cancer, heart disease, stroke, and pulmonary embolism while reduced bone fractures and colorectal cancer. The overall risks of HRT outweigh the benefits, which provides an opportunity for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) going abroad. A variety of clinical and experimental evidences have showed that TCM exerts quite satisfactory effect on relieving postmenopausal symptoms with little adverse effect, hence a potential role to replace or to improve HRT or to reduce the side effect induced by HRT.

In the past, education of acupuncture/ moxibustion in Taiwan depended on the masters-disciples relation. The knowledge of acupuncture/ moxibustion was transmitted to disciples individually.
Since its establishment in 1955, The Taipei Society Acupuncture and Moxibustion improved educational pro- gram to more systematic one. In the following 20 years varieties of studies in this field were conducted, people also turned their eyes to these traditional remedies
Though acupuncture and moxibustion had begun to be accepted by people, the new medical law was en- forced in 1975, which disqualified the acupuncturists for medcial practice. As a result, many of the acupuncturists and moxibustionists left Taiwan for overseas. Unlike many other nations, Taiwan has no system for certification of acupuncturists/ moxibustionists. The traditional Chinese doctor in Taiwan, after passing the examination for Chinese Medicinal exam can practice the Chinese herbal medicine and the acupuncture/ moxibustion. It seems an inconceivable system.
It is only after 1989 that the subjects on acupuncture/ moxibustion medicine were included in the exams for the traditional Chinese doctor in Taiwan. But it still doesn't include tests of practical skills. This is more of a hindrance than a contribution to acupuncture and moxibustion in Taiwan.
Though there has been the legalization movement for acupuncturists/ moxibustionists during the past 30 years, it met opposition from both of the health bureau and the traditional Chinese doctor trade union. The license system for acupunturist is still left uncertain.
Now in Japan, the high tech device like electronic microscope, micro inductor and micro-electric are introduced in the studies of acupuncture/ moxibustion medicine. And in the field of scientific research of the acupuncture and moxibustion, Japanese seem to have more grant view than other country. The health government of Taiwan should turn their eyes to the reality and change its policies towards this effective medicine.
Now acupuncture and moxibustion medicine has become one of the international research topics. In recent years WFAS academic congresses are held every year in the different nations. Here I would like to suggest that in advanced country like Japan, a new university specializing in acupuncture/moxibustion medicine should be established and it should accept and educate foreign student from overseas with international curriculum. Only the continuous and faithful exchange of the young scholars would recover the true friendship between Taiwan and Japan.
