Purpose]The purpose of this thesis is to briefly study how to translate different types of anadiplosis in Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, so as to evoke other translators'attention in this field. [Methods] There are different types of anadiplosis in Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, thus this thesis first summarizes the categories of anadiplosis structure in Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, then studies the respective use and mixed use of domestication and foreignization strategy in translation of the three types of anadiplosis structures. Furthermore, it also analyzes the advantage and disadvantage of domestication and foreignization strategy and the scope of their application. [Results] Through research, the thesis discovered that both domestication and foreignization strategy have their own advantage and disadvantage in translating anadiplosis in Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine. On one aspect, translators should spread as much traditional medical culture as possible; on the other hand, translators should also take readers' response into accounts. Although domestication is a major trend nowadays, with the deepening of culture exchange, foreignization will play a more important role in TCM classics translation. [Conclusion] Domestication and foreignization strategy complement each other in the translation of anadiplosis in the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine. However, because of the requirement to spread traditional Chinese medicine, foreignization strategy will be used more frequently than before.

Objective To research the effect of GANT61 on epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human lung cancer H1703 and A549 cells lines ,and to preliminarily investigate its action mechanism .Methods DMSO was used as the control(DMSO group) .After treating H1703 and A549 cells with GANT61 for 24 h ,the gene changes of Gli‐1 ,Gli‐2 ,E‐cadherin and Vimentin were detected by using the real time fluorescence quantitative PCR method .The influence of GANT61 on the expression of E‐cad‐herin and Vimentin protein after acting on H1703 and A549 cells was observed by using the Western blotting assay .The scratch healing test was performed to evaluate the effect of GANT 61 on the tumor cell invasion ability after acting on H1703 and A549 cells .Results The real time fluorescence quantitative PCR showed that ,compared with the DMSO group ,GANT61 down‐regulated the mRNA expression of Gli‐1 ,Gli‐2 and Vimentin mRNA of H1703 and A549 cell lines and elevated the expression of E‐cadherin protein(P<0 .01);the Western blotting showed that GANT61 down‐regulated the expression of Vimentin of H1703 and A549 cell lines ,and elevated the expression of E‐cadherin(P<0 .01);the scratch healing test revealed the invasion ability of H 1703 and A549 cells in the GANT61 treatment group was significantly decreased (P<0 .01) .Conclusion EMT in lung cancer is related with aber‐rant activations of Gli1 and Gli2 in Hedgehog signal transduction pathway ,GANT61 could influence the EMT ability in lung cancer cells by down‐regulating the expression of Gli‐1 and Gli‐2 .Gli could become a new molecular target for inhibiting the lung cancer cell metastasis.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) gene Arg16Gly polymorphism and essential hypertension (EH) in elder (≥60 years old).Methods150 old healthy controls and 115 old patients with EH (all of them without kin relation) were selected to test genotype of β2-AR by the technique of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-PFLP).ResultsThe frequencies of three genotypes (Arg/Arg, Arg/Gly and Gly/Gly) were 22.81%, 53.51% and 23.68% in the EH group and 27.33%, 67.33% and 5.33% in the controls respectively. The frequencies of Arg and Gly allele were 49.56 % and 50.44% in the EH group, and 61.00% and 39.00% in the controls. There was a significant difference in distribution of alleles/genotypes between EH group and controls ( P<0.05).Conclusionβ2-AR Arg16Gly gene polymorphism is possibly associated with hypertension in this study population.

Febrile seizure (FS) is the most common type of seizures in infants, toddler, and preschool children. Inlfamma-tory mediators as triggers of fever are considered to be involved in the occurrence of such seizures. There is evidence that FS is accompanied by inlfammation. The potential role of inlfammatory mediators in the development of epilepsy after long term FS has not been fully determined. In this article the inlfammatory reaction, febrile convulsion, and the occurrence of secondary epi-lepsy will be reviewed. The progress in research of the interaction among them at home and abroad will be explored.

AIM:To observe the effects of cornus iridoid glycosides(CIG)on inflammatory reaction especially the inflammatory cytokines in the brain after traumatic brain injury,and to explore the possible mechanisms of its neuroprotective effect.METHODS:SD rats were intragastrically administered with different doses of CIG(30,60 and 120 mg?kg-1?d-1)for 7 d.The traumatic brain injury rat model was induced by improved Feeney's fall weight method,and the brains were taken out 24 h and 72 h after brain injury,respectively.The morphological changes were observed by HE staining in the cerebral cortex.The expressions of inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)and interleukin-1?(IL-1?)were detected by immunohistochemical method.The image processing and statistical analysis were used to measure the number and the area of immunoreactive cells.RESULTS:HE staining showed the pathological changes were serious in the cerebral cortex of model group,and compared with the model group,the pathological changes were obviously reduced in CIG group.The positive immunoreactive cells of TNF-? and IL-1? were mainly distributed around the foci of contusion,the expressions of TNF-? and IL-1? in the model group were significantly higher than those in sham operated group,and the high expressions were sustained from 24 h to 72 h after brain injury.Compared with the model group,the levels of TNF-? and IL-1? in the brain of CIG treatment groups were obviously decreased in a dose-dependent manner and the inhibitory effects of TNF-? and IL-1? were more significant at 72 h after brain injury.CONCLUSION:CIG may have neuroprotective effect on traumatic brain injury through inhibiting the expression of inflammatory cytokines and reducing the inflammatory reaction.
