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 investigate the epidemiology of respiratory viruses in children from Wuxi area.Methods A total of 2 747 cases of children diagnosed with acute respiratory infection in Wuxi during 2011 —2014 were collected.Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect nine kinds of respiratory viruses,including influenza virus A (Flu A),influenza virus B (Flu B),parainfluenza virus (PIV)Ⅰ-Ⅳ,adenovirus (ADV),respiratory sycytial virus (RSV),human metaneumovirus (hMPV), human bocavirus (HBov),human coronaviruses (hCov)and human rhinovirus (HRV).The categorical data were compared using chi square test.Results A total of 856 among the 2 747 samples were tested positive for respiratory virus nucleic acid,with the positive rate of 31 .16%.The viral distribution was uneven in different seasons,and the infection peaked in winter and spring.The virus detection rate was highest in age 1 to 2 year group (up to 40.18%),and followed by age 6 to 12 year group (32.63%).Flu A virus was the most frequently detected virus,accounting for 7.54% (207/2 747);followed by PIV, accounting for 6.95 % (191/2 747);and Flu B accounted for 4.22%(116/2 747).There were 84 cases of mixed infection of two or more kinds of respiratory viruses,with positive rate of 3.06% (84/2 747 ). Conclusions Our study suggests that Flu A is the most common pathogen in children with acute respiratory infections in Wuxi area during 2011 —2014;virus detection rate is highest in age 1 to 2 year group;and parainfluenza virus is almost detected throughout the year,while the rest of respiratory viruses are commonly seen in winter and spring.

Betel Shi-San-Wei Ingredients Pill(BSSWIP) was first recorded in the 19th century writings Meng-Yi Jin-Gui with the name of Gao-Y ou-13. The name of BSSWIP was first recorded in the book of the 1977 edition of the Drug Standard of the Jilin Province, which was formerly known as Tai De Hu Ran Gu Lu Ge Qi Nai Ran Ta, Se Me Ji De Ji De, and etc. Although in the book of Tong-Wa-Ga-Ji-De, Se Me Ji De Ji De was documented, it was the same name of different compositions. It had no original relation with BSSWIP. In different periods, the BSSWIP was consisted of 13, 14 or 15 kinds of herbs. There were at least five different types of herbs appeared in the Gao-Y ou-13. The evolution of prescription was mainly from the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century. There was no major change on prescription composition and proportion since 1971. Among them, 10 kinds of herbs, which were Bing-Lang, Guang-Zao, Mu-Xiang, Ding-Xiang, Rou-Dou-Kou, Zi-Nao-Sha, Gan-Jiang, Bi-Ba, Hu-Jiao, and Chen-Xiang were fixed. The ratio of single herbal medicine changed the most was Zhi-Cao-W u, which was followed by Mu-Xiang, Ding-Xiang and Chen-Xiang. There were no marked sources of BSSWIP in the recording of the Drug Standard of the Jilin Province and the Mongolian Medicine V olume·Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China. The composition and proportion were considered to be from the book Meng-Y i Jin-Gui according to notes of Standards on Mongolian Patent Medicine in Inner Mongolia. Recordings of three standards are in consistence with the Meng-Y i Jin-Gui on Gao-Y ou-13 except for Y e-Mao-Niu Xin and the different ratio of Zhi-Cao-W u. In the appendix of the Standards on Mongolian Patent Medicine in Inner Mongolia, it marked the differences from the original prescription. Therefore, the other two criteria should also mark the similarities and differences compared with the original prescription properly.
