"Microcosmic syndrome", "treatment based on syndrome differentiation", and "combination of disease identification and syndrome differentiation" generally refer to a mode: following the syndrome if with no disease identified, following the disease if with no syndrome type differentiated. For example, Chinese medical treatment of hypertension, high blood lipids, increased transaminase, and so on candirectly use Chinese recipes, but no longer with syndrome differentiation. Clinical application of Chinese patent medicine can also obtain favorable clinical. Western doctors need not follow syndrome differentiation. The invention of artemisinin was screened from more than 40 000 kinds of compounds and herbs, but with no reference of any traditional Chinese medical theory. A lot of folk remedy and empirical recipes have obtained effective efficacy but unnecessarily with profound Chinese medical theories. Various evidences showed that disease can also be cured without syndrome differentiation. I held that it might be associated with the same mechanism of Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Any disease can be cured or alleviated by Chinese medicine is a result from its modern pharmacological effect, which is achieved by improving etiologies, and pathogeneses. I was inspired by whether we can directly use traditional Chinese medicine with modern pharmacological effects to treat symptomatic disease. So I raised an idea of microcosmic Chinese medicine used by Western medicine, i.e., we find and use Chinese herbs with relatively effective modern pharmacological effect to treat diseases targeting at patients' clinical symptoms and signs, as well as various positive laboratory results (collectively called as microscopic dialectical indicators). More Western doctors would use it to treat disease due to omission of complicated and mysterious syndrome differentiation. This will promote extensive application and expansion of Chi- nese medicine and pharmacy, enlarge the team of integrative medicine, improve Western doctors' interest in Chinese medicine and pharmacy, thus pushing the career of integrative medicine in a brand new development era.

Osteosarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumor with high invasiveness and metastasis that occurs mainly in children and adolescents. The pathogenesis of osteosarcoma remains unclear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of nucleotides non-coding RNAs, can regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level through binding to target mRNAs. Besides, MiRNAs takes control of many important pathophysiological processes in molecular level, including the initiation and invasiveness of osteosarcoma.This review summarizes the roles of miRNAs in initiation,development,transformation and chemoresistance of osteosarcoma to bring new ideas for both pathogenesis exploration and targeted therapy of osteosarcoma.

Social capital is an invisible capital form that promotes the efficient allocation and utilization of resources.It plays an active role in the prevention and control of chronic diseases.The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of social capital on the three levels prevention of stroke by means of document retrieval.Social capital is associated with both morbidity and mortality of stroke.Social participation and social support at a high level can promote the rehabilitation of stroke patients,and have a beneficial effect on improving the quality of life and the ability of daily life.Social capital is correlated with stroke related behavioral factors,such as smoking,drinking,obesity,diet and physical activity.People with high social capital stock are more likely to choose healthy behavior patterns,thus reducing the risk of stroke.We should take full account of the social capital factors,and make more comprehensive and effective completion of the three levels of stroke prevention.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of estimation of left ventricular dp/dtmax by continuous-wave Doppler mitral regurgitation velocity curve versus cardiac catheterization in patients with mitral incompetence. Methods One hundred and five patients with mitral incompetence were enrolled in this study. The Doppler spectrum of mitral regurgitation velocity was recorded with a speed of 100mm/s. The velocities and time of two points on the ascending slope of the spectrum were calculated directly in order to estimate left ventricular dp/dtmax. In 40 patients, left ventricular pressure and dp/dtmax were measured with cardiac catheterization. Results The correlation coefficient between Doppler dp/dtmax and catheterization dp/dtmax was 0.84 (P
