Since the modern times, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been more widely spread in the western world. However, it becomes more difficult to be accepted or even be demonized. The perspective of oreintalism can help to accurately analyze the origin of TCM acceptance in the western countries. This acceptance follows the cognitive model of orientalism. The change of orentalism discourse system directly affects the TCM communication to the West in the modern times. To conclude this period of history will provide some useful inspiration to the further TCM communication to the West.

Objective To explore the preoperative diagnosis and treatment of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis(XGP). Methods The clinical data of 16 patients with XGP from 1978 to 2003 were retrospectively reviewed, and its clinic symtoms, diagnosis and therapy were discussed in combination with literature review. Results 16 cases of patients with XGP confirmed by histopathological examination recovered well after operation, and did not relapse till now. Conclusion According to medical history, symptom, physical sign, the foam cells in urine and CT examination, XGP could be diagnosed. Sometimes, fine needle aspiration biopsy should be done in order to confirm the diagnosis of XGP. The operation was a major method for treating this disease.

0.05), while there were obvious different effects at different time points in each group and between group A and B (P0.05). There was difference in the number of fibroblats and eosinophils between groups (P

nm-23 gene is the first antimetastatic gene which was found to have close relationship with metastasis and prognosis of many malignant carcinoma.This review briefly summarizes the development of nm-23 gene and hepatocellular carcinoma in recent years.

Objective To treat urinary calculi with pneumatic lithotripsy under non-endoscopy.Methodes We applied the pneumatic lithotripsy machine,which made in China,to treat huge or staghom nephrolith and calculi of anterior urethra under non-endoscopy,taken out stone fragmentations after lithotripsy.There was 1 case of huge nephrolith,7cases of staghom nephrolith,3 cases of anterior urethral calculi.Results Every case of nephrolith was successfully performed by using lithotrisy and extracted stones only one case.1 case in total nephrolith cases was found residual stones and sick-side renal functions were improved than before in all casws followed up for 3 moths to 2 years.the cases of anterior urethral calculi urinated fluently and had no urethral stenoses followed up 1～2 years.Conclusion This kind of operation used pneumatic lithotripsy to treat urinary calculi under non-endoscopy is safe,slight injury and curative effect is reliable.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the incidence of the bifurcation of the facial nerve in mastoid segment and to give the anatomic information for mastoid surgery. METHODS From March 2005 to April 2006, there were 112 patients undergoing the decompress operations which the range included the mastoid segment. The bifurcation of the mastoid segment was recorded and compared with the preoperational High-resolution Computed tomography (HRCT) scans. RESULTS There were 5 cases with the nerve bifurcation. The incidence was 4.5 %. Four of those 5 cases were diagnosed preoperatively by HRCT scans (the accurate rate was 80 %). CONCLUSION Bifurcation of the mastoid segment was not rare. Otologic surgeon should pay attention to this anatomic variation to avoid injuring the branch of the facial nerve. HRCT scans were useful to find this abnormality.

Objective:To assess the surgical outcome of patients with mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MCS) treated in our insti-tute. This study was also designed to describe the clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcome of MCS to provide a better understand-ing of its clinical management. Methods:A total of 27 patients with MCS were treated in Peking University People's Hospital, Beijing, China from October 1997 to March 2011. Demographic information and follow-up data were obtained and statistically analyzed. Re-sults:Among the 27 patients, 9 were males and 18 were females with a mean age of 30.4 years (ranging from 14 years to 51 years). The median follow-up time was 42.6 months (ranging from 6 months to 104 months). Among the total number of tumor cases, 22 and 5 were detected in bone tissues and extra-skeletal sites, respectively. A total of 25 patients underwent surgery, but only 17 achieved the standard surgical margin of wide excision. Among these patients, 16 and 13 were subjected to chemotherapy and irradiation. The three-and five-year survival rates were 65%and 49.5%, respectively. Conclusion:MCS is a rare tumor resulting in morbidity with local recur-rences and long-term metastases. In this study, standard multimodal regimens were proposed to treat MCS. The results recommended wide resection with suitable surgical margins as the preferred treatment. However, further studies should be conducted because the infor-mation about the benefits of chemotherapy and radiotherapy for the control of local or systemic symptoms of MCS remains insufficient.

Objective To investigate the approaches and effect of Ilizarov external fixators combined with limited operation in treatment of posttraumatic clubfoot in children.Methods The study involved 40 cases (43 feet) of posttraumatic clubfoot treated with Ilizarov external fixators combined with limited operation including soft-tissue releases (26 cases,28 feet) or osteotomies (14 cases,15 feet)from January 2006 to June 2012.Scoring system of intemational clubfoot study group (ICFSG) including aspects of functional assessment (36 points),morphology (12 points) and radiological assessment (12points) were employed before and after surgery.Results All the cases were available to the follow-up of 0.5-6 years.ICFSG score was excellent in 28 feet,good in 10,fair in four and poor in one foot,with excellent-good rate of 88％.This suggested the good correction of posttraumatic clubfoot,satisfactory weight-bearing exercise and a low relapse rate.Conclusions Conservative open operation brings large trauma and poor results in treatment of posttraumatic clubfeet in children,while Ilizarov invasive distraction technique is probable to offset those weak points.Therefore,Ilizarov external fixators combined with limited operation is an effective treatment.
