Transcutaneous immunization (TCI) is a novel immunotherapy approach that induces systemic immune responses via topical application of antigens and adjuvants onto the skin.It is a safe and effective method,and is expected to serve as an attractive alternative to traditional vaccination.TCI induces immune responses in different directions,but the exact mechanism of skin immune tolerance is still unclear.Most studies on TCI are based on animal models.However,there are structural differences between animal skin and human skin,so more researches are needed to achieve the translation of TCI from bench to bedside.Not all vaccines are suitable for cutaneous inoculation,so vaccines for TCI should be evaluated for their safety and efficacy.Various reformed vaccine delivery systems are needed to be further explored in related diseases.

The principle of R0 resection for colorectal cancer(CRC)has been widely accepted based on the preoperative imaging evaluation.The surgeons should scientifically and strictly assess resectability of tumors and furthest reduce tumor residuals.Patients with initial unresectable CRC will give priority to conversion therapy and then undergo R0 resection if converting into resectable tumors.Palliative operation for the patients who cannot receive R0 resection according to the clinical assessment should strictly follow surgical indications and achieve wellplanned and clear surgical purposes.There is no evidence that the palliative operation or cytoreductive surgery benefits to survival of patients,and decreasing complications and improving quality of life through minimum wound are the basic principles.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the status quo and the development strategy of the study of the processing of Chinese herbal medicine.METHODS:The physical-chemical property,the technology transfer and the qualitation and quantitation reported in the literature about the processing of Chinese herbal medicine were analyzed and summarized.The status quo and the current methods for the study of processing of Chinese herbal medicine were expounded and its development strategy was put forward in view of the role and importance of the processing study.RESULTS & CONCLUSION:To develop the study on the processing of Chinese herbal medicine,it is essential to strengthen literature research and summarizing of experiences as well as the combination of processing synergy with clinic practice,attach great importance to the guiding effect of traditional Chinese medicine theory on the study of physical-chemical study in the processing of Chinese herbal medicine,and strengthen study on the key issues including the processing technology of Chinese herbal medicine and the quality control of decoction pieces.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of clopidogrel plus atorvastatin on ischemic cardiovascular diseases and to explore the clinical significance of drug interactions.METHODS:Literatures were retreived from EMBase,PubMed,Cochrane Library and CNKI with clopidogrel,atorvastatin,clinical trial as

Leptin,a polypeptide hormone coded by Ob-gene,has the functions of depressing appetite,reducing caloric intake and enhancing caloric consumption,etc.Leptin has a close relationship with kidney,for it is metabolized and eliminated via kidney.Meanwhile,leptin can also directly affect kidney functions,influencing the process of chronic renal failure.Furthermore,hyper-leptinemia is associated with anorexia,malnutrition and cardiovascular diseases.Different dialysis patterns may also play different roles in cleaning leptin.For example,common dialysis could not clear leptin,but other dialysis modes such as high permeability dialysis,hemodiafiltration,and mastic absorption hemoperfusion can alleviate hyper-leptinemia through cleaning leptin partly.For kidney transplantation patients,hyper-leptinemia may affect the immune balance which has been maintained for a long time.

This article proposes the integrated outline of excessive heat accumulated in chest syndrome from the view of Fu-viscera disease of sanjiao based on numbers of clinical experiences,which can prove that the objective existence and theory of sanjiao fu-viscera has specific significance.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of RNA interference(RNAi)on WT1 gene expression in HL-60 cell line.Methods Several pairs of small interfering RNA(siRNA)for WT1 gene was designed and transfected into HL-60 cells.WT1 gene expression was assessed by RT-PCR,and WT1 protein expression was tested by Western blot.Flow cytometry was used to measure the cell apoptosis.Results The expression rates of WT1 mRNA and the expression rates of WT1 protein were(23.62%?1.28%),(23.20%?1.04%),respectively in HL-60 WT1 siRNA-transfected cells,significantly lower than those of control cells(P

To investigate the effect of thiopental sodium on the release of glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from synaptosomes in the prefrontal cortex, synaptosomes were made, the spontaneous release and the evoked release by 30 mmol/L KCl or 20 micromol/L veratridine of glutamate and GABA were performed under various concentrations of thiopental sodium (10-300 micromol/L), glutamate and GABA concentrations were determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Our results showed that spontaneous release and evoked release of glutamate were significantly inhibited by 30 micromol/L, 100 micromol/L and 300 micromol/L thiopental sodium, IC50 of thiopental sodium was 25.8 +/- 2.3 micromol/L for the spontaneous release, 23.4 +/- 2.4 micromol/L for KCl-evoked release, and 24.3 +/- 1.8 micromol/L for veratridine-evoked release. But GABA spontaneous release and evoked release were unaffected. The study showed that thiopental sodium with clinically related concentrations could inhibit the release of glutamate, but had no effect on the release of GABA from rats prefrontal cortical synaptosomes.

This paper reported a sporadic case of a 29-year-old Han female diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) by next generation sequencing (NGS),one of genetic analysis techniques.She was admitted because of recurrent intractable seizure for 26 years,dizziness and headache for 3 months.Physical examination revealed angiofibromas over her face,shagreen patches in her lower back area,and hypomelanotic macules around her limbs and body.Cranial MRI manifested lesions on lateral ventricles,cerebellar vermis and left temporal lobe with abnormal signal changes on both sides of extensive cerebral cortex.A pathogenic and heterozygous missense mutation,c.T1967C,in exon 16 of her TSC1 gene was found via genetic tests,which has not yet been reported before.

Compared with patients with high-middle rectal cancer,local recurrent rate of low rectal cancer in patients is worse.The poor outcome of low rectal cancer is due to the unique anatomical features of the low rectum and the lack of clearly defined anatomical excision planes.Therefore,how to use the appropriate imaging methods,evaluate accurately preoperative cancer staging,plan feasible surgical plane and select the appropriate surgical approach,these will be very important for radical resection of rectal cancer.Therefore,the quality of life and long-term survival of the patients will be improved.
