This study was aimed to reveal the medication patterns of Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of breast hyperplasia based on association rules and clustering of data mining technology. Articles on Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of breast hyperplasia were retrieved from databases. External formulas or those mixed with western drugs were excluded. Terminologies in the selected formulas were standardized. Information was extracted to build excelltables. Association rules analysis and cluster analysis were used to reveal the medication patterns of Chi-nese patent medicine in the treatment of breast hyperplasia with software R2.15.2 and Cytoscape 2.8.3. The results showed that Chinese medicinals with higher frequency in 195 formulas were Radix bupleuri, Rhizoma cyperi, Chinese Angelica, Selfheal, White Peony Root, Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim et al. Chinese medicinals with lower frequency were Chinese Alangium leaf, Rhinacanthus nasutus et al. The commonly used herbal pairs were Radix bupleuri -Chinese A ngelica, Rhizoma curcumae - Rhizoma sparganii, frankincense - myrrh et al. The strong association rules indicated that Xiaoyaosan, which takes Radix bupleuri and Chinese A ngelica as its core, is the key character of Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of breast hyperplasia. The cluster analysis revealed several Chinese medicine functional modules, such as Fructus forsythiae - Rhizoma smilacis glabrae - Evodia lepta - Chinese mahonia stem - Lignum millettiae et al. It was concluded that the herbal frequency, herbal pairs, strong associa-tion rules and cluster analysis can reveal the medication patterns of Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of breast hyperplasia in order to provide reference evidences in the optimization of clinical treatment for mula and im-provement of therapeutic efficacy.

Objective To explore the clinical value of therapeutic alliances of oviduct recanalization and video-laparoscope in the treatment of infertilitas feminis caused by multiple salpingemphraxis. Methods Sixty-seven patients with salpingemphraxis in 127 oviducts complicated with adhesions in fimbriated extremities were enrolled into our study. All the patients underwent separation of adherences in fimbriated extremities and neostomy using a video-laparoscope 2 to 3 days after selective oviduct recanalization. The therapeutic effects were retrospectively reviewed focusing on recanalization rate of proximal three segments, complete recanalization rate, and pregnancy rate and relevant complications during the follow-up period were analyzed. And patients with infertilitas feminis in the follow-up period underwent repeated salpingography to determine whether oviduct was repeatedly obstructed. Results The therapeutic alliance of oviduct recanalization and video-laparoscope were performed successfully in this cohort. Owing to the treatment of oviduct recanalization, recanalization rate of proximal three segments was 97.6% oviducts (124/127). Due to the alliance of oviduct recanalization and video-laparoscope, complete rate of oviduct were 98.4% (122/124). One year after operation, the pregnancy rate, ectopic pregnancy rate, and non pregnancy rate were 58.2% (39/67), 4.5% (3/67), and 37.3% (25/67), respectively. The patients with non pregnancy were composed by repeated oviduct obstruction in 25.4% (17/67) and non obstruction in 11.9% (8/67). Conclusion Therapeutic alliances of oviduct recanalization and video-laparoscope could be an effective method for the treatment of infertilitas feminis caused by multiple salpingemphraxis, and be helpful for the enhancement of pregnancy rate.

Abstract： Objective　To elucidate the antigenic antibody reaction of recombinant expression of non-structural protein 1 (NS1) of Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus with various mosquito-borne flaviviruses, including JE virus, and the antigenic antibody reaction of serum samples of patients infected with JE virus in acute stage. Methods　In this study, Escherichia coli prokaryotic expression vector (pET) system was used to recombinant express Japanese encephalitis virus NS1 gene. Western Blot assay was performed to detect the antibody responses of the recombinantly expressed protein against a variety of mosquito-transmitted flaviviruses, including JE virus, as well as antigen-antibody reactions of serum from patients with acute JE virus infection. Results　The NS1 gene expression product of JE virus (P3 strain) was in the form of an inclusion body, and the denatured and renatured expression product was displayed as a single band in the denatured gel (polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, PAGE), with a molecular weight of about 45 000. The results of further antigen-antibody analysis showed that the antigen/antibody hybridization reaction of the expression product with polyclonal or monoclonal antibody of JE virus (mosquito isolates, encephalitis isolates) and serum samples of patients with acute JE virus infection could be completely consistent. The recombinant product showed negative antigen/antibody hybridization reactions with mosquito-transmitted flaviviruses, such as dengue virus and yellow fever virus polyclonal antibodies, but positive reactions with polyclonal antibodies to West Nile virus and Murray Valley encephalitis virus. Conclusions　In this study, the recombinant expression of the NS1 protein of JE virus was successfully obtained, and the antigen/antibody reaction between the recombinant protein and samples of patients infected with mosquito-borne flavivirus and JE virus was analyzed. The study results provide important basic data for elucidating the antigen-antibody reaction between the NS1 protein of JE virus and mosquito-borne flavivirus. The recombinant expression protein obtained in this study provides an important material basis for further research on the function of JE virus NS1 protein.
