To explore the antioxidant mechanism of munziq and mushil of Abnormal Savda. Scavenging effects of munziq and mushil of Abnormal Savda on superoxide anion radical(O -? 2) and hydroxyl radical (OH ?) were measured by electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR). Munziq and mushil possessed obvious scavenging effects on O -? 2 and OH ? and the effect of mushil was superior to that of the munziq.[Conclusion] The EPR is a reliable, effective, accurate, sensitive method for measuring the antioxidant properties of herbal medicines. Munziq and mushil are two kinds of effective antioxidants, and the antioxidant effect may be one of the therapeutic mechanisms of munziq and mushil.

Background:The incidence of ulcerative colitis( UC)has increased obviously in recent years and is different among different areas and nationalities. Aims:To investigate the clinical features of UC in Kashi Uygur nationality. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted based on general condition, clinical type, disease severity, sites of lesion, complications and treatment on patients with UC who were enrolled from February 2003 to February 2012 at the Second Hospital of Kashi Area. Results:One hundred and twenty-six eligible subjects were enrolled in this study. The ratio of male to female was 1. 03: 1(64/62). UC occurred commonly in youth(48. 4%). Chronic relapsing UC was the common clinical type(50. 0%). Most patients were with moderate or severe disease(83. 3%). Lesions of UC were commonly located in left hemicolon( 45. 2%). Incidence of complication was low( 4. 8%). Medical treatment was the main treatment. Conclusions:In Kashi Uygur nationality,the incidence of UC is not significantly different between male and female. UC commonly occurs in youth,chronic relapsing UC is the common clinical type,most patients are with moderate or severe disease,lesions of UC are commonly located in left hemicolon,the incidence of complication is low and medical treatment is the main treatment.

Object To study the hydroxyl radical scavenging and DNA damage protecting activities of 5 Uighur herbal medicines Euphorbia humifusa Willd , Borago officinalis L, Cassia angustifolia Vahl, Terminalia chebula Retz. and Fomes officinalis (Vill ex Fr ) Bres Methods The hydroxyl radical scavenging action and DNA damage protection action were determined by CuSO 4 Vit C H 2O 2 yeast and CuSO 4 Vit C H 2O 2 phen DNA chemiluminescence systems respectively Results All 5 Uighur medicinal herbs showed hydroxyl radical scavenging and DNA damage protection activities in dose dependent manners Conculsion The hydroxyl radical scavenging and DNA protective effects may possibly be the mechanisms of their antiaging and therapeutic effects against various diseases

Objective To evaluate the value of Materialise's interactive medical image control system (MIMICS) in the computer aided surgery, and to offer a reliable system for precise surgical planning and good effect of orthognathic surgery. Methods Based on CT images, geometric characteristics of 2 patients' head were collected for a 3D reconstruction of the human head. Skull, skin, and submucous tissue were reconstructed and optimized separately by MIMICS 10.01. Surgeries were simulated and the soft tissue deformation was predicted according to the surgical planning of experienced surgeons. Results Mesh of skull, skin and submucous tissue were constructed manually for 2 patients. Surgical procedures were simulated and the prediction of soft tissue deformation was realized by MIMICS, which could be visualized in any angle. Conclusion MIMICS is a helpful digital tool for computer aided surgery and the prediction of soft tissue deformation. MIMICS is also a 3D visualization system for orthognathic surgeries, by which surgeons could realize the surgical planning, revising,and the patient-doctor communication on the computer screen.

There are more than 3 000 kinds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in human exhaled gas, which are directly or indirectly related to the pathophysiological process of the body. Therefore, the detection and quantitative analysis of VOCs in vivo is helpful for the early detection, diagnosis and evaluation of treatment results. Breath analysis is a simple, noninvasive, painless, economic and time-saving detection method. It is a new field of rapid development, and has great potential in disease screening and clinical diagnosis. In this paper, the application of human exhaled gas analysis in clinical disease diagnosis and the latest progress in this field will be summarized.

Xinjiang is the area with a high incidence of AIDS, and a high incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Cases of AIDS combined with pulmonary tuberculosis have continued to increase in recent years. According to the characteristics of AIDS, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) reveals that AIDS belongs to epidemic febrile disease, and in accordance with the category of warm disease caused by incubating pathogens.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the tongue manifestation features of sexually transmitted and intravenous drug use spread HIV infected population in Xinjiang.

METHODSRecruited were 990 HIV infected subjects in Xinjiang from May 2011 to March 2012, who were assigned to the intravenous drug use spread HIV infected (498 cases) and the sexually transmitted (492 cases). By using tongue figure shoot combined with analyses of experts, tongue manifestations were analyzed and compared between the sexually transmitted and the intravenous drug use spread from four aspects, i.e., the tongue color, the tongue shape, the fur color, and the fur property.

RESULTSCompared with the sexually transmitted population, red tongue, fissured tongue, yellow fur, thick fur, eroded fur, deficiency of fur fluid were more often seen, showing statistical difference (P < 0.05). Compared with the intravenous drug use spread population, pale tongue, white fur, and thin fur were more often seen, showing statistical difference (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe tongue manifestations of the intravenous drug use spread HIV population reflected inner exuberance of evil toxin and heat impairing qi and yin. Compared with the intravenous drug use spread population, the attack of HIV infection was more hiding in the sexually transmitted population, with milder internal injury. Their Wei-qi was not damaged and no obvious change occurred in the tongue figure.

This study was aimed to summarize the medicine operation mode of fighting against AIDS in Xinjiang region in order to play its advantages and find its insufficiencies. The summarization had been made on aspects of resource integration , mode creation , highlighting research priorities and mechanism improvement . Advantages of various aspects had been pointed out and existing problems had been proposed. It was concluded that AIDS study by the National Clinical Research Base of Traditional Chinese Medicine in X inj iang still needs to share its re-source, innovate its network system construction model, operate its standard diagnosis and treatment, mechanism and system, and further strengthen its personnel training.

This study was aimed to observe the clinical effect of Ping-Ai GranulesⅠin the treatment of HIV/AIDS . A total of 107 AIDS cases were divided into Ping-Ai GranulesⅠgroup and Ping-Ai GranulesⅠunited with HAART group. The results showed that there was significant difference between Ping-Ai GranulesⅠgroup and Ping-Ai GranulesⅠunited with HAART group in aspects of symptoms, physical signs, Karnovsky Score and changes of CD4+ T lymphocyte . It was concluded that Ping-Ai GranulesⅠhad the function of improving patient's symptom and increasing patient's immunity and living quality .
