This article reviewed the diagnosis and treatment of the main vascular diseases with surgical approach, especially the advance and challenge of endovascular therapy. Highlight of the basic studies on vascular surgery was briefly introduced. Also, the author proposes his recommendation on vascular surgeons training as well as the design and performance of multi-center prospective studies.

The rate of bone turnover in postmenopausal women accelerates and the newly formed osteoid is poorly mineralized, resulting in the loss of bone mineral content. Meanwhile, the requirement for calcium increases as more bone matrix needs to be mineralized. On the other hand, the reduction of serum estrogen level impairs the absorption of calcium in intestinal tract and the reabsorption in kidney, resulting in the decreased absorption and increased excretion of calcium. Therefore, sufficient calcium intake is critical for maintaining the bone structure in postmenopausal women. The reference intake of calcium differs greatly among different countries. In 2000, China established the adequate intake of calcium for Chinese women aged 50 years and older as 1000 mg/d. Diets provide the optimal source of calcium to prevent osteoporosis. Although calcium supplements have been demonstrated to be beneficial for the bone mineral density in postmenopausal women, its impact on fracture risk and cardiovascular diseases remains controversial. Available evidences suggest that calcium supplements combined with vitamin D are unlikely to increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

After the necessity of research on bio-entities was pointed out, the advances and status quo in research on the relation between bio-entities were analyzed with concrete ideas and project put forward for the research on bio-entities using scientometric methods according to thecitationrelation in bio-entities similar to that in litera-ture.This kind of research will promote and perfect the research on scientometric theory and practice, and open a new visual angle for the research on knowledge management .

TCM clinical practice guidelines are not only the norms to guide medical work, but also the basis for medical management and insurance. Researches on TCM clinical practice guidelines are profoundly significant to promote standardization, modernization and internationalization of TCM. At present, researches on TCM clinical practice guidelines at home and abroad have just started. Based on successful practice of previous researches, adopting information technology to establish computer-aided TCM clinical practice guidelines is practical to promote the compilation, revision, application and generalization. This article aimed to discuss roles of researches on information technology in TCM clinical practice guidelines.

[Objective] To explore how to use music therapy to treat insomnia. [Methods] Through the analysis of the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine theory, reflect on the pattern of the TCM therapy for insomnia, excavate the tune theory in Neijing, with unique angle of view to explain music therapy, combined with traditional Chinese medicine five psychological states of disorder in the concrete implementation plan of the music therapy. [Re-sults] Chinese medicine five kinds of psychological disorder of music therapy treating insomnia provides a good way of thinking, different psychological dis-order states corresponding to different melodies of music therapy, the system in the treatment of insomnia. [Conclusion] The emerging treatment of music therapy is to be carried forward, as a kind of special treatment, has been accepted by more and more people, the five kinds of TCM psychological disorder states in detail dividing the specific psychological insomnia, has played a guiding role to the design of the music prescription.

Digital construction and network service are the inevitable trend of the development of TCM literature modernization, and the model based on App Store has become the trend of electronic publications. This article analyzed the current status and existing main problems of the platform of TCM literature electronic publication. In view of the above problems, combined with the development of TCM literature electronic publication, this article proposed a transformation platform based on App Store, and further elaborated the function, design and technology of the platform.

Objective To investigate the potential mechanism of POD in the elder rat model in different depths of anesthesia. Method 120 elderly rats were randomly divided into the A1,A2,A3,B1,B2 and B3 groups. The incidence of POD in the elderly rats was assessed in different depths of anesthesia ,and then the death of neurons,and the expressions of Bid,Bim,Puma and Caspase?3 were detected by Annexin/PI ,real?time PCR and Western blot assay ,respectively. Results Compared with the A1 and A3 group ,the incidence of POD in the elderly rats was decreased and the death of neurons ,and the expressions of Bid ,Bim ,Puma and Caspase?3 were decreased in Group A2(P<0.05). Compared with the preoperative condition,the incidence of POD in the elder?ly rats was increased and the death of neurons,and the expressions of Bid,Bim,Puma and Caspase?3 were in?creased in all groups (P < 0.05). Additionally,similar results were found in the group of inhalational anesthesia. Conclusion The depth of BIS 60 ~ 75/BIS 30 ~ 45 in the elderly rats lead to the increase in the incidence of POD,and that might result from the apoptosis of neurons and the increases of Bid,Bim,Puma and Caspase?3.

Background:Serum levels of pepsinogen( PG),gastrin-17( G-17)and Helicobacter pylori( Hp)infection are closely associated with gastric cancer. Studies on relationship of serum levels of PG and G-17 with Hp infection in Uygur and Han population with gastric cancer in Xinjiang area are rare. Aims:To investigate serum levels of PG and G-17 and their relationships with Hp infection in Uygur and Han population with gastric cancer in Xinjiang area. Methods:A total of 198 Uygur and 50 Han gastric cancer patients were enrolled,and healthy people with the same race were served as normal controls. Serum levels of PGⅠ,PGⅡ,G-17 were determined by ELISA,PGⅠ/ PGⅡ ratio(PGR)was calculated. Urea breath test and stool Hp antigen test were used to detect Hp infection. Results:Serum PGⅠ level and PGR in Uygur and Han patients with gastric cancer were significantly decreased than those in corresponding control groups(P < 0. 05),and serum levels of PGⅡ and G-17 were significantly increased(P < 0. 05). Serum PGⅠ level and PGR in Uygur gastric cancer patients were significantly decreased than those in Han gastric cancer patients(P < 0. 05),and serum G-17 level was significantly increased(P < 0. 05). Hp infection rate in Uygur and Han patients with gastric cancer were significantly increased than those in corresponding control groups( P < 0. 05). Serum level of PG Ⅰ and PGR were significantly decreased in Han gastric cancer patients with Hp-positive than in Hp-negative patients,and serum levels of PGⅡ and G-17 were significantly increased(P < 0. 05). Serum levels of PGⅠ,PGⅡ and G-17 were significantly increased in Uygur gastric cancer patients with Hp-positive than in Hp-negative patients,PGR was significantly decreased(P < 0. 05). Serum levels of PGⅠ,PGⅡ and PGR were significantly increased in Uygur gastric antral cancer patients than in gastric corpus cancer and proximal gastric cancer patients(P < 0. 05). Conclusions:Decreased serum PGⅠ level,PGR and increased serum level of G-17 can be used as biomarkers to screen gastric cancer in Uygur and Han population in Xinjiang area. Hp infection in Uygur and Han patients with gastric cancer is related to the changes of serum level of PGⅠ,PGR and G-17.
