In China, cooking oil fume is a kind of indoor air pollutant that is ubiquitous. With the development of catering trade, the pollution of cooking oil fume is becoming more and more severe. The results of animal experiments showed that cooking oil fume could damage the genetic substance and cause cancer. The results from the epidemiological studies indicated that cooking oil fume could induce lipid peroxidation and change the pulmonary and immunologic functions, cause chromosome damage and increase the risk of lung cancer.

The academic origin and characteristics of medical families of acupuncture-moxibustion in northern Zhejiang Province were explored in this paper. With acupuncture-moxibustion characteristic of medical families in northern Zhejiang Province such as the LING (see text), the YAN (see text), the SHI (see text) and the SHENG (see text) analyzed and arranged, it was found out that taking the Internal Canon of Medicine as theory basis, their academic thoughts comprehensively absorbed acupuncture-moxibustion theories in all ages, and they continuously made innovations through constant practices, resulting in academic thoughts that focusing on application of acupuncture-moxibustion in clinic, using moxibustion for deficient illness and adopting acupuncture-moxibustion and Chinese herbs for severe and acute patients. The academic thoughts of medical families of acupuncture and moxibustion in northern Zhejiang Province are featured by unique acupoint selection and ma nipulation, thorough moxibustion methods and combined application of Chinese herbs and acupuncture-moxibustion, which is a clinical system of diagnosis and treatment with typical Jiangnan features.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the changes of blood coagulation index before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the chemotherapeutic efficacy in patients with breast cancer.Methods Ninety patients with breast cancer were selected,and detected the changes of blood coagulation index before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (TAC regimen),and the relationship between blood coagulation index and the chemotherapeutic efficacy were analyzed.Results The levels of fibrinogen (Fib),platelet count (PLT) after chemotherapy were significantly higher than those before chemotherapy [(3.42 ±0.50) g/L vs.(2.44 ±0.46) g/L,(267.83 ±61.34) × 109/L vs.(174.18 ±48.65) × 109/L] (P ＜ 0.01),D-dimer (D-D) was significantly lower than that before chemotherapy [(176.32 ± 101.41) mg/L vs.(214.55 ± 106.34) mg/L] (P ＜ 0.01).The remaining indicators before and after chemotherapy had no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).The level of D-D in 68 cases was reduced after chemotherapy,the effective chemotherapy in 53 cases (77.9％,53/68),ineffective in 15 cases (22.1％,15/68);the level of D-D in 22 cases was increased after chemotherapy,the effective chemotherapy in 9 cases (40.9％,9/22),ineffective in 13 cases (59.1％,13/22),the difference was statistically significant (P=0.000).The level of PLT in 10 cases was reduced after chemotherapy,the effective chemotherapy in 3 cases(3/10),ineffective in 7 cases (7/10);the level of PLT in 80 cases was increased after chemotherapy,the effective chemotherapy in 59 cases (73.8％,59/80),ineffective in 21 cases (26.3％,21/80),the difference was statistically significant (P=0.044).Conclusions The Fib and PLT increase while the D-D decreases after chemotherapy,so it is necessary to monitor Fib,PLT,D-D level during chemotherapy.The D-D and PLT are effective indexes in evaluating curative effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer.

Objective To optimize the technology of extracting Paeoniflorin and Puerarin from Tongqing Granules. Methods The experiment used the orthogonal experimental design (4 factors and 3 levels) with the shift-rate of Paeoniflorin and Puerarin as experimental criterion in screening the factors affecting the technology of extracting Tongqing Granules. Results All the 3 factors designed in the orthogonal experiment non-signifantly affected the extracting technology. In consideration of the industrial practice, the best condition of extracting the constituents from Tongqing Granules was decided:water extraction for 3 times, extracting with 12 fold water for 1 hours for the first time, with 5 fold water for 0.5 hours for the second time, and with 5 fold water for 0.5 hour for the third time. Conclusion The condition is the optimized technology of extracting Paeoniflorin and Puerarin from Tongqing Granules.

2 years, no involvement of regional lymph nodes and the recurrence presented as a single nodule.

Objective: To investigate the role of host derived matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the pathogenesis of pulpitis. Methods:The expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were examined by immunohistochemical method and the activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were measured by gelatin zymography in 20 clinically healthy and 20 inflamed human dental pulps of extracted mandibular 3rd molars.Results:In clinically healthy and inflamed human pulps both MMP-2 and MMP-9 were expressed in odontoblasts and fibroblasts. The pro-MMP-9 was detectable in both inflamed and healthy pulps. The level of pro-MMP-9 was higher in inflamed pulps than that in the healthy(P0.05).Pro-MMP-2 and active MMP-2 were not detectable in the pulps of the two groups. Conclusion:MMP-9 may involve in the pathogenesis of pulpitis.

The responsibility system of attending doctors plays a positive role in raising hospital efficiency and optimizing medical resources deployment.For the change in the subject of medical liabilities following the introduction of this system,medical management needs to shift from department management to doctor management instead.In the meantime,appropriate rules and regulations are needed to normalize the roles and behavior of the medical office,department heads,and attending doctors in medical activities.This will ensure the successful operation of this responsibility system,and generate ideal medical,economic and social outcomes.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effects of warm needling for scapulohumeral periarthritis (SP). Methods:Eighty-six patients with SP due to wind, cold and dampness in conformity with the research criteria were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group. The control group was given the routine acupuncture treatment and the observation group was treated by warm needling. The treatment was given once every day and ten sessions made one course. After two courses, the therapeutic effects and the changes in the scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) were observed. Results:After treatment, VAS scores were statistically different from those before treatment in the two groups (P<0.05); and VAS score was lower in the observation group than that in the control group, with a statistical difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The curative and remarkable effective rate was 74.4% in the observation group and 44.2% in the control group. The difference in the curative and remarkable effective rate was statistically significant between the two groups (P<0.01). But, the difference in the total effective rate was not statistically significant between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion:The warm needling has the dual effect of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of SP due to wind, cold and dampness, and its clinical effect is better than routine acupuncture treatment.

Objective:Reference to the risk loop in hospital accreditation spot tracing method, enhancing the management of medical equipment.Methods: By six link as planning, training, implementation, monitoring, feedback, improvement in the spot tracing method to implement the management of medical equipment.Results: Evaluate the risk level of medical equipment by the risk value evaluation, thereby setting clinical equipment training period and mode, and apply the result of training assessment to feedback adjusting ,use monitoring and use effect improving.Conclusion: By preventing and controlling the risk of medical equipment, the original medical management was promoted to a new level, more in line with the requirements of medical service safety and standardized level in hospital accreditation.

When the central nervous system is stimulated, the opioid neuropeptide?-endorphine (?-EP) is liberated into the blood stream. The result of this work showedthat the antigen-presenting capability (APCP) of normal human monocytes (Mon) wasmarkedly enhanced (P0. 05), sug-gesting that the effect of ?-EP was mediated through the opioid receptors on the Mon.
