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.

Objective　The conditional hierarchical clustering for 1-dimensional(1-d) ordinal data was discussed.Methods　Because the individuals are ordered in 1-d,the conditional matrix was constructed with all elements in the second-diagonal are 1 and the others are 0.Distance matrix of individuals defined by some particular definition.Then the conditional-distance matrix was made for the hierarchical clustering by connecting the conditional matrix and distance matrix.This method was called 1-dimentsional conditional hierarchical clustering.An example was illustrated by this method and a Monte Carol study showed that method was feasible and robust.Results　Compared with the least-squares partition,this method is easy to understand,easy to practice and easy to compute.It also can give us a stable result.Conclusion　Because of the austere theory,the simple thought and the convenient application,it's a good method for the 1-d ordinal data.

Lead exposure is toxic to children.With the development of industry,lead exposure of children becomes more and more serious.Bone is the major target organ for lead loading.In terms of bone development,childhood is a critical period for the production of peak bone mass,and keeping it normal is important for the measurement of bone health and decreasing the morbidity of osteoporosis.Recent research revealed that children's bone mineral density is affected by elevated level of blood lead and this effect is mainly through the inhibition of the activity of osteoblast cell,the influence on calcium and phosphorus metabolism,and the retardation of children's bone growth.Therefore,the review focuses on the source,toxic effect,and the influence on bone mineral density and its mechanism of children lead exposure.

In recent years the incidence rate of tuberculosis (TB) has gone up.It was estimated that 1/3of people had asymptomatic latent tuberculosis infection globally.The current widespread use of Bacillus calmetteguerin (BCG) vaccine program against tuberculosis in children has a good preventive effect,but due to the limited duration of the immune responses induced by BCG,there also had situation of prevent failure,so researchers begin to explore new TB vaccines,such as live attenuated mutant strains,subunit vaccines and DNA vaccines,and achieved certain results.For the pure protein derivative tuberculosis skin test positive and immunosuppressed children,in addition to active immunization would also need anti-TB medicine for chemoprophylaxis.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of atopic status on interleukin-4 (IL-4),interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin-5 (IL-5) levels in serum of children wih mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection,and to investigate the relation between these cytokines and disease severity.MethodsNinety-five children with MP infection were enrolled in our study,which were divided into atopic group and non-atopic group,mild group and severe group,normal-TIgE group and high-TlgE group.Meanwhile,38 normal children were enrolled as normal control group.The serum levels of IL-4,IFN-γ and IL-5 were detected by ELISA method.Results(1) Thelevels of serum IL-4 (pg/ml),IFN-γ (pg/ml) and IL-5 (pg/ml) in MP infection group[2.82(2.12,7.13 ),39.70(18.82,181.42),16.12( 10.35,28.07 ) ] were higher than those in normal control group [ 1.17(1.05,1.60),13.25(8.77,22.56),9.72(6.11,12.39) ] ( P＜0.05 ).(2) Serum IL-5 levels in atopic group [ 15.55 (10.35,22.61 ) ],severe group [ 15.98 ( 11.95,26.58 ) ] and high-TlgE group [ 16.55( 10.35,23.65 ) ] were much higher than those in normal control group( P＜0.05 ).Rather than the serum IL-5 levels of atopic group,mild group and normal TIgE group showed no significant difference compared with the normal control group( P＞0.05 ).(3) No significant differences of serum IL-4,IFN-γ,andIL-4/IFN-γ were found between atopic group and non-atopic group,mild group and severe group,normalTIgE group and high-TIgE ( P＞0.05 ).ConclusionIL-4,IFN-γand IL-5 are involved in the pathogenesis of MP infection,furthermore,atopic status of the host may lead to the increase of serum IL-5,which may enhance the progress of the disease.
