Objective To prove insulin resistance-induced by free fatty acid(FFA)with hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp and assess the prevention from this resistance by N-acetylcysteine(NAC).Methods Twenty-four female Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups,each of which received infusion of IH(20% intralipid +20 U/mL heparin),IH+NAC,NAC,and saline respectively for 7 h.Two-hour hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp was made after 5h infusion.During the infusion and clamp the rats were awake.Blood samples were taken for measuring insulin,FFA and maleic dialdehyde(MDA)at 0 min,280 min,290 min,300 min,340 min,380 min,400 min,410 min and 420 min.The insulin sensitive index was calculated.Results Plasma FFA and MDA levels in IH group were significantly elevated compared with those in control,IH+NAC and NAC groups,P

Objective To introduce a proposal that can standardize the clinical information of urine manifestation in Chinese medicine.Methods A hypothesis of symptomatic units was proposed in this paper,herein,the attribute,name and definition of the symptomatic units of urine manifestations in the clinical records of Chinese medicine in the past dynasties were summarized according to the stipulation of logic classification and denomination of a scientific term.Results The 23 symptomatic units,2 bounds and their assembly can express 3867 descriptions on the clinical manifestation of urine.Conclusion The symptomatic unit is a feasible hypothesis that can simplify the clinical information of Chinese medicine.The attribute extraction,denomination and definition may become one of the effective procedures to standardize the clinical information of Chinese medicine.

OBJECTIVE: To probe into a construction model of TCM resource science meeting the need of teaching practice and fitting for teaching and education, which focuses on the both characteristics of TCM and nature of resource. METHODS: Guided by "the three basic key points" theory, the content of the construction of TCM resource science are analyzed, such as foundational theories, elementary knowledge and basic skills, etc., considering academic characteristics and position, write of textbook. RESULTS: Based on current demand, theory analysis, content of system and advantages of the construction of TCM resource science, the new idea characterized with teaching being harmonious with education was put forward and fit for "the three basic key points" theory. CONCLUSIONS: The construction model of TCM resource science is an efficient and technical way to meet the demand of teaching.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, degenerative disease of the brain, which causes learning and memory to become seriously impaired. AD not only influences the patient's quality of life, but also places a great burden on caregivers. With the increasing of aging population, the pressures can be wide-ranging, involving social, psychological, physical, and economic elements of the caregivers' life.The cause and progression of Alzheimer's disease are not well understood. Currently used treatments include pharmaceutical and psychosocial ones, each offering a small symptomatic benefit. Actually, there are still no available medicines and treatments to delay the progression of the disease. Therefore, the development of a new ideal medicine to treat AD patients becomes the first priority. In recent years, most researchers have turned to natural products, hoping to find a drug candidate to cure AD patient. Baicalein, a traditional Chinese medicine extracted from Scutellaria Baicalensis (Chinese herb), has been demonstrated holding the properties of anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis, anti-oxidant, and improving learning and memory of human brain. Baicalein is becoming a potential ideal medicine for treating AD patient.

In the opinion of dialectical materialism, concept is developing with the deepening and broadening of human being's mind. The developing process of syndrome concept in traditional Chinese medicine also takes the same way. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the connotation of syndrome concept was defined and the embryonic form of syndrome differentiation of zang-fu viscera was formed. In the Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the development of syndrome concept embodied in optimizing the theoretical research based on clinical practice and experiences according to many medical masters in different denominations. The syndrome differentiation of eight principles was established to standardize and perfect the principles of syndrome differentiation in the Qing Dynasty. Modern research of syndrome concept is manifested in objectifying the process of research of syndrome and diseases in different levels and aspects by use of advanced scientific technology.

To investigate effects of cultured astrocytes from Sprague Dawley rat cerebral cortex on the development of PC12 cellsderived from rat pheochromocytoma, PC12 cells were cocultured with astrocyte according to different astrocytes/neurons ratio(50:1~1:1) , or with serum-free conditioned medium of astrocytes(ACM). The vitality of PC12 cells was measured by sensi-tive MTT method and their morphologic features were observed by Olympus light microscope. The results showed: (1) WhenPC12 cells were cultured with ACM, compared with the control group, the vitality of PC12 cells was increased significantly (0.255+0. 012 vs 0. 510±0. 036, P<0. 001) and the morphological changes were not obvious in the experimental group. (2) WhenPC12 cells were cocultured with astrocyte in the ratio of 30: 1~1: 1, not only was the vitality of PC12 cells enhanced, but alsothe neurite-outgrowth of PC12 was observed. (3) When PC12 cells were cocuhured with astrocyte in proportion of 50: 10~40 : 1, the vitality of PC12 cells was also enhanced, but the neurite-outgrowth of PC12 was not found. This study suggested en-hancement of PC12 cell-vitality was mediated by soluble factors produced by astrocytes, while activity of the neurite-promotingwas associated with cell-cell contact and with the ratio of two cells.

Objective To observe the therapeutical effect by using pedicle screw and interbody fusion cage,and compare with posterior interbody simple autogenous bone graft. Methods From August 2006 to January 2009,46 cases of lumbar spondylolisthesis patients were treated by using pedical screw internal fixation system, including 24 cases of cage-graft (group A), 22 cases of interbody simple autogenous bone graft (group B), efficacy evaluation using JOA evaluation standard, and measured lumbar olisthe reset rate, relative intervertebral space height and lumbosacral angle of recovery and observed fusion rate through the preoperative and postoperative follow-up X-ray films. Results All the patients' waist pain symptoms relieved after operative reduction. At 18 months of follow-up , group A of lumbar olisthe reset rate was 94.7%, relative intervertebral space height was (74.93 ± 7.85)% ,lumhosacral angle was 36.6° ± 3.6° ,meanwhile group B was 89.9%, (68.72 ± 12.40)%,39.3°± 5.6°. There were significant differences between two groups (P<0.05). Bone graft fusion rate in group A was 95.83% (23/24), in group B was 90.91%(20/22), there was significant difference between two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion Pedicle screw system and interbody cage-graft in treatnent of lumber spondylolisthesis can effectively prevent the loss of reduction,mid and long-term effects are satisfactory,it is a stable and reliable method.
