Along with the frequent international communication of TCM, translation of related classics becomes increasingly important. The translation of TCM classics' titles, which reveal the content of the classics, is equally essential. Dictated by the translating principles of standardization, correspondence, readability and nationalism, the paper analyzed the translation of TCM classics' titles containing modesty words, and put forward the following translation strategies translation: The method of foreignization is preferred for the translation of titles involving heterogeneous culture in order to retain the unique TCM concept while the method of domestication is advised for the translation of titles involving elements in conflict with the target culture; In the translation of TCM classics' titles containing modesty word(s), weakening or omitting the sense of self-depreciation is proposed. The paper aimed to contribute to the standardization of TCM nomenclature translation in order to promote international dissemination of TCM classics.

Objective To construct 1.3-fold-overlength infectious clone of hepatitis B virus isolated from Chinese patients , observe the expression of plasmid in Huh7 of liver cancer cells and establish genome of HBV in vitro. Methods HBV DNA in serum was extracted from HBV patient. SOE-PCR was performed to produce a 1.3-fold-overlength genome of HBV. The plasmid was named pHBV1.3 (C). After that,pHBV1.3 (C) was transfected into Huh7 cells, HBV related viral antigens and DNA were detected by ELISA,Western Blot and Fluorescence quantitative PCR. Furthermore, adefovir dipivoxil, a clinic anti-viral drug, was utilized to test the sensitivity of the new infectious clone. Results An infectious clone of pHBV1.3 (C) was successfully constructed. HBV gene carried in pHBV1.3 (C) could be efficiently replicated and expressed in Huh7 cells. Adefovir could inhibit HBV replication in this HBV cell model. Conclusions A recombinant plasmid containing 1.3-fold-overlength of HBV genotype C was successfully constructed. This construct is competent to support viral transcription and replication in vitro , suggesting that infectious cells are expected to be a new model of HBV infection in vitro.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of acute kidney injury following coronary artery bypass graft(CABG).Methods Twenty-six patients suffering from acute kidney injury following CABG as the patient group and 59 individuals without impairment of renal function as the control from January 2008 to September 2012 in the First People's Hospital of Yichang according to a retrospective case-control study and nonconditional multivariable Logistic regression analysis method..Results Among the 85 patients undergoing CABG,26 suffered acute kidney injury following CABG with a morbidity rate of 30.59％.Identified risk factors for acute kidney injury following CABG included pre-operative mederale-sever cardiac insufficiency,prolonged mechanical ventilation,prolonged stay in ICU and anemia before surgery.The identified independent risk factor of acute kidney injury following CABG was pre-operative mederale-sever cardiac insufficiency (OR =3.206,95％ CI:1.067-9.631).Condusion Pre-operative mederale-sever cardiac insufficiency was an independent risk factor of acute kidney injury following CABG.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of magnetic source imaging(MSI) in the preoperative localization of focal cortical dysplasia(FCD). Methods Eighty-two patients with intractable epilepsy resulting from FCD undergone preoperative assessment including MSI, video electroencephalography(VEEG) and electrocorticography(ECoG)from February 2006 to June 2012.The consistency between pre- and intra-surgical assessment was evaluated. For patients who had consistent results,postoperative curative effect was also recorded. The accuracy and predictive values of noninvasive preoperative tests were compared by χ2 test. Results For MSI and ECoG, their results were consistent in 57 cases, partially consistent in 14 cases, and inconsistent in 11 cases. In the postoperative follow-up of 57 patients with consistent results, there were 46 cases with Engel class Ⅰ, 3 cases with Engel class Ⅱ, 4 cases with Engel class Ⅲ, and 4 cases with Engel class IV. For VEEG and ECoG, the results were consistent in 43 cases, partially consistent in 33 cases, inconsistent in 6 cases.The postoperative follow-up showed that 27 cases were graded as Engel classⅠ, 5 cases as Engel classⅡ,7 cases as Engel classⅢ, and 4 cases as Engel class IV. There were statistically significant differences(χ2=5.023,P=0.025)of the concordance rate with ECoG between MSI(69.51%,57/82)and VEEG(52.44%,43/82). In the postoperative follow-up of patients with consistent results, the curative effect was better in group MSI than in group VEEG (χ2=3.989,P=0.046). Conclusions Preoperativelocalization by MSI shows advantage over VEEG, which meanswhen it achieves an agreement with ECoG, patients with FCD may get better prognosis from the surgical process.

Objective To present a new algorithm of real-time peak detection for pulse signals based on FPGA , which is known as the dynamic threshold with half peak detection method ( DT-HP ) .Methods With Gaussian-shaped pulse signals as the target , the method was improved from conventional methods .The FPGA detection process of the algorithm required no more than three detection parameters: the starting point , the maximum value and the pulse width .Results The algorithm solved the floating baseline and repeating detection that occur in traditional methods .Compared with the results of polynomial fitting method and flow cytometry , the difference was only 3.2% and 9.3%.Conclusion The algorithm takes less time ,RAM, and cache while allowing floating baseline detection , which can be used as an effective method for rapid detection in FPGA .

Objective To evaluate regional airway obstruction with balloon catheter in stabilizing the vital signs in experimental animals suffered from acute massive pulmonary embolism. Methods Pulmonary embolism of right lung artery by using auto-blood clots or detachable latex balloons was established in 27 healthy sheep. When the blood oxygen saturation decreased by 25% compared to that before the procedure,the placement of balloon catheter in corresponding right main bronchus was carried out in 18 sheep (study group). Five sheep were used as control group. The blood oxygen saturation in the remaining four sheep did not reach the intervention level. The pulmonary arterial pressure, the peripheral arterial pressure, the central venous pressure, the heart rate, the blood oxygen saturation, the arterial partial pressure of oxygen as well as of carbon dioxide were invasively determined. Results The experimental model of acute massive pulmonary embolism was successfully established in 23 sheep. After the establishment of pulmonary embolism, increased heart rate, tachypnea, a decrease of ≥ 25% in blood oxygen saturation within 30 minutes and a rise in pulmonary arterial pressure were detected. After the placement of balloon catheter in study group, a reduction of the pulmonary arterial pressure and an elevation of the blood oxygen saturation as well as the arterial partial pressure of oxygen rose. were observed. The difference between study group and control group was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion The result of this animal experiment indicates that obstruction of airway with balloon can be served as a first aid for acute massive pulmonary embolism, which can stabilizes the animal's vital signs and, therefore, can help gain precious time for the follow-up thrombolysis treatment.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of moxibustion in treating knee osteoarthritis (KOA).MethodTotally105 patients with KOA were randomly divided intoamoxibustion group (n=39), anelectroacupuncture group(n=44) andaCelebrex group (n=22).The three groups were treatedsuccessively for 4 weeks.The visual analogue scale (VAS) score of knee-joint pain and knee-joint function score were observed.ResultSeven days,fourteen days and twenty-eight daysrespectivelyafterthe treatment,theVAS scores of knee-joint pain and knee-joint function scoresweresignificantlydecreased in the three groups (P<0.001). Fourteen days and twenty-eight days afterthe intervention,the knee-joint function scores ofthemoxibustion group and electroacupuncture group weresignificantlyhigherthan those oftheCelebrex group (P<0.05).ConclusionMoxibustion therapy can improve the clinical symptoms and the knee-joint function in patients with KOA,similar to the electroacupuncture group and Celebrex group, and the moxibustion group has better effect in improving theknee-joint functioncompared to the Celebrex group.
