Although the origin of Chinese medicine was well recorded inHuang-Di Nei-Jing, different opinions, however, now existed in the authenticity of discussions on five cardinal directions in theYi-Fa Fang-YiLun. From the perspective of regional systems, this paper began with the local culture of Chinese northern nomadic people, analyzed their fire using custom, moxibustion therapy, ice and snow culture and Shamanistic witchcraft. The purpose was to reveal that moxibustion therapy originated from Shamanistic witchcraft and medical practice of the northern nomadic people.

Marine medicine is an important part of Chinese medicine and a growth point of the development of marine economy. Current researches of marine medicine had ignored accumulated experience in clinical medicine for thousands of years of development of marine medicine and the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory. In this article, we proposed a research mode of Mining experience-Clinical validation-Targets screening-Component screening-Component compatibility-Mechanism study under the guidance of the hypothesis of Nature-Effect-Material Trialism to study marine medicine. Kun Hai Jiang Xin (KHJX) Decoction is a marine formula drawn from the experience of ancient physicians by data mining techniques. Clinical study found that KHJX Decoction can significantly improve the overall clinical efficacy of chronic bronchitis with good clinical safety. Under the guidance of TCM herbal theory, object presented here is based on the work of KHJX Decoctionmining experience - clinical validation. The molecular docking method and receptor-ligand binding assay were applied to screen effective components from herbs of KHJX Decoction and the compatibility plan of effective components under the guidance of the principle of cold and heat effects compatibility. This study is of great significance to clarify the material basis and molecular mechanism of KHJX Decoction in the treatment of chronic bronchitis. It provides a new research mode for marine drug research.

Calcium content and calcium-calmodulin complex were determined in endothelial cells before and after they were treated with endotoxin.It was found that endotoxin can promote the disintegration of calcium-calmodulin complex and greatly increase the cacium content in the endothelial cells.

0.05) in results. The positive rate was 26.99% for these 3 kits, and any two of them could achieve a positive rate of 53.95%. The total positive rate was 80.95%, which was significantly different as compared with non-tuberculosis group(P

Objective To evaluate whether P53 gene mutation was related with the pathogenesis of ovarian malignant epithelial tumors or not.Methods P53 gene mutation in exons 5-8 was detected by polymerase chain reaction product-single strand conformation polymorphism analysis (PCR-SSCP).Results The mutation in benign tumors: 3(10%) cases, but in malignant epithelial tumor:19(38%) cases(P0 05).Conclusions P53 gene mutation in exons 5-8 was probably related with the pathogenesis of ovarian malignant epithelial tumors, but was not related with histological grade.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing the diagnostic accuracy in CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic aspiration biopsy of lung lesions. Methods CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic biopsy was performed in 435 patients with surgical pathologic confirmation or clinical follow-up.Univariant statistical analysis and multivariant stepwise Logistic regression analysis were used to study the influence of lesion-related factors(benignancy or malignancy,size,location,depth,presence of cavity),procedure factors(laser-guidence,position of patient) and patient-related factors(sex,age,presence of emphysema);with the accuracy of the diagnosis. Results ① 289 lesions were diagnosed as malignant ones and 146 as benign ones.The accuracy of CT-guided biopsy was(83.4%)(363/435).Univariant analysis showed that the diagnostic accuracies for malignant and benign lesions were(88.9%)(257/289) and(72.6%)(106/146),respectively(?~2=(18.71),P=(0.00002)).Laser-group was superior to non-laser group((88.4%) versus(80.9%),respectively,?~2=(4.00),P=(0.0456)).Mean diameters of lesions in correct diagnostic group and non-correct diagnostic group were(3.78)?(1.64) cm and(3.02)?(1.26) cm,respectively((F=)(13.79),P=(0.0002)).②Multivariant stepwise Logistic regression analysis showed that among the various factors influencing the final benign or malignant diagnoses(Wald ?~2=(14.01),P=(0.0002)) and using laser-guidence(Wald ?~2=(3.92),P=(0.0477)) were significantly associated with the diagnostic accuracy. Conclusions Final correct diagnoses(benign,malignant) are closely related to the application of laser-guidence for determining the diagnostic accuracy in CT-guided transcutaneous thoracic needle aspiration biopsy.

Objective To observe the prognosis 90 days after attack and the correlation among various risk factors in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA). Methods The data of 90 days follow up and related risk factors of 61 patients clinically diagnosed with TIA were analyzed.We also compared the prognosis of those patients according to the change on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI). Results The incidence of various kinds of severe vascular events in 61 patients within 90 days was 16.4% (10/61). Among the patients with abnormal change on DWI, the incidence was 50% (8/16). However the incidence was 4.7% (2/43) in the patients with normal DWI. There was a statistical difference between the two groups (P

Objective To observe the effect on body distribution tendency of paclitaxel liposome in the lung cancer rats after acupuncture of Feishu,Taiyuan acupoints in order to develop the new path for the target study of anticancer drugs.Method The paclitaxel liposome was labeled by technetium(Tc).Four methods including tail intravenous injection of paclitaxel liposome merely and the combination of tail intravenous injection of paclitaxel liposome with acupuncture of Feishu,Taiyuan(concerned acupoint) and Shenmen(unconcerned acupoint) acupoints respectively were carried on the intervention to the lung cancer rat models(18 in each group).The rats were sentenced to death at 60,90,120 minutes(6 at each time point) respectively after drug injection,and the drug content of paclitaxel liposome in the lung,liver,kidney organs were measureed by the ?-radiate immunity counting implement respectively.Result Acupuncturing at Feishu and Taiyuan can lead to the drug content increment of paclitaxel liposome in the lung organization of the lung cancer rats in all or parts of time points.On the contrary,acupuncturing at Shenmen can not.Conclusion Acupuncturing Feishu and Taiyuan can make tropism effect on the disposition of paclitaxel liposome in vivo in lung cancer rats.Feishu is stronger than Taiyuan on the drug tropism of the lung.

The appearance and changes of Acetylcholinesterase (ACHE) in the brains of 62 rats from early embryos to adults were studied by histochemical method and the brains of 19 rats of corresponding stages were examined with Nissl stain. The main results are as follows:1. AChE appeared in the following sequence: spinal cord, myelencephalon, metencephalon, mesencephalon, diencephalon and finally in telencephalon. In telencephaIon, AChE appeared earlier in paleocortex than in neocortex. The sequence described above showed that the appearance of AChE reflects cephalization of the nervous system in the rat.2. AChE-positive neurons of the rat brain consisted of cholinergic neurons and cholinoceptive ceils, both of which are related to the neurotransmitter ACh.3. The following nuclei of adult rat brain were shown to be AchE-positive in our specimens, but had not been reported in available literature: n. tractus mesencephali, n. anterior dorsalis thalami, n. anterior ventralis thalami, n. lateralis thalami, n. habenulae lateralis, n. reticularis thalami, n. supraopticus, n. paraventricularis, n. parafascicularis and n. ruber. In the cerebral cortex very few positive cells have been noticed.

Six compounds were isolated from the leaves of Juglans mandshurica Maxim.. They were characterized by their physico-chemical properties and spectral data as: nonacosanol, 2-octa-cosanol, ?- sitosterol, juglone, 3-methoxy - 7-methylzuglone, butanedioic acid. Except juglone,this secmed to be the first reported isolation of the other five compounds from the title plant to date
