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.

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

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.

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.

BACKGROUND:Ferula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen is composed of volatile oil, resin and gum that have the anti-inflammatory, anti-alergic, antispasmodic and analgesic effects. But its analgesic mechanism is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect ofFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen on heat pain, mechanical pain, Fos protein expression and astrocyte activation in spinal cord of rats with neuropathic pain. METHODS: Eighty adult Sprague-Dawley rat models of chronic sciatic nerve injury were randomly divided into five groups and then intragasticaly administeredFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen at low, moderate and high doses (0.075, 0.15, 0.30 g/kg), celecoxib or physiological saline. Heat pain and mechanical pain were measured at 1 day before operation and at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 14 days after operation. The spinal cord tissue at S4-5 segments was harvested and Fos protein expression and astrocyte activation in the spinal cord of rats were observed by immunohistochemical staining method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 1 and 5 days of medication, behavioral pain scores of rats in the low-, moderate-, and high-doseFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen groups were significantly higher than that in the physiological saline group (P < 0.01). The largest reduction in heat pain threshold was measured in the moderate-doseFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen group compared to the other groups (P < 0.01). The most significant reduction in rat mechanical pain threshold was measured in the high-doseFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen group than in the other groups (P < 0.01). At each time point post-operation, the number of Fos protein-positive cels in the low-, moderate- and high-doseFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen and celecoxib groups was significantly lower than that in the physiological saline group (P < 0.05); the number of Fos protein-positive cels in the moderate- and high-doseFerula sinkiangensis K.M Shen groups was significantly higher than that in the celecoxib group (P< 0.05). At each time point post-operation, the number of astrocytes in the spinal cord tissue of rats in the high-doseFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen and celecoxib groups was significantly lower than that in the physiological saline group (P< 0.05). There was significant difference in the number of astrocytes between the moderate- and high-doseFerula sinkiangensis K.M shen groups and celecoxib group (P< 0.05). These results confirm thatFerula sinkiangensis K.M. Shen may effectively aleviate the neuropathic pain of rats, and the mechanism of which may be related to the activation of Fos protein and astrocytes in the spinal cord.

Aim The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of AA、15-HETE、15-KETE and 8(S),15(S)-DiHETE on hypoxic and normoxic rabbit pulmonary arterial rings and to discuss their roles in the formation of PA hypertension.Methods Twelve neonatal rabbits were randomly divided into two groups(n=6):the normoxic group breathing fresh gas(FiO_2 =21%) and the hypoxic group breathing hypoxic gas(FiO_2=10%).After 9 days,they were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium,and the chest was opened for removal of the heart and lungs en bloc,then PA rings(0.5~1.5 mm in diameter and 3 mm length) were prepared.We used tension studies of PA rings to observe the effect of AA、15-HETE、15-KETE and 8(S),15(S)-DiHETE on hypoxic and normoxic rabbit pulmonary arterial rings.Results ① AA、15-HETE、15-KETE and 8(S),15(S)-DiHETE constricted normoxic rabbit PA rings in a dose-dependent manner,respectively.Constriction of normoxic rabbit PA rings induced by 15-KETE、8(S),15(S)-DiHETE was significant,but that of AA、15-HETE wasn′t significant.② AA、15-HETE、15-KETE and 8(S),15(S)-DiHETE increased hypoxic rabbit PA rings' tension.Constriction of AA、15-HETE on rabbit PA rings in hypoxic group was significantly greater than that of normoxic group(P0.05).③ Constriction of 15-KETE on rabbit PA rings in normoxic group was significantly greater than that of hypoxia group(P
