Multi-component traditional Chinese medicines are an innovative research mode for traditional Chinese medicines. Currently, there are many design methods for developing multi-component traditional Chinese medicines, but their common feature is the lack of effective connection of the traditional Chinese medicine theory. In this paper, the authors discussed the multi-component traditional Chinese medicine design methods based on medicinal property combination modes, provided the combination methods with the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine for the prescription combinations, and proved its feasibly with hypertension cases.

OBJECTIVETo study the instance of deep venous thrombosis(DVT) complicated by preoperative lower extremity close fracture.

METHODSRetrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 54 patients with DVT (through color Doppler to final diagnosis) complicated by preoperative lower extremity close fracture from March 2008 to February 2009, and explored the concomitant reason of DVT. There were 23 males and 31 females with age for 23-95 years old.

RESULTSDVT including thrombus of ilio-venae external, thrombus of femoral vein, thrombus of popliteal vein, thrombus of posterior tibial veins and thrombus of soleus venae. The instance of DVT complicated by preoperative lower extremity close fracture: (1) The age of 23 cases (42.59%) more than 70 years. (2) 11 cases (20.37%) combined with syndrome, 2 cases had hypertension, 3 cases had hypertension and diabetes, 2 cases hypertension and cerbral infarction, 4 cases had hypertension, diabetes and coronary heart disease. (3) 10 cases (18.51%) were multi-fractures. (4) 28 cases (51.85%) occurred DVT at 7-14 days after lower extremity close fracture.

CONCLUSIONAdvanced age, complicating hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, cerbral infarction, multi-fractures may be lead to DVT. Multitudinous DVT occurred at 7-14 days after fracture, as early as possible operation has important significance on prevention DVT to decrease risk of pulmonary embolism.

OBJECTIVETo obtain isolated human metapneumovirus (HMPV) strains from clinical specimens collected from infants and children in Beijing and to promote the investigation on this important respiratory pathogen.

METHODClinical specimens including throat swabs from outpatients and nasopharyngeal aspirates from hospitalized children were collected from infants and children visited the affiliated children's hospital for acute respiratory infections during May 2008 to April 2009. HMPV positive specimens identified by RT-PCR and/or direct immunofluorescent assay with monoclonal antibody against HMPV were inoculated to LLC-MK(2) cells and incubated at 37°C and 33°C, respectively. The replication of the virus in the cells was detected by direct immunofluorescent assay followed by RT-PCR. The genotypes of the isolated virus strains were identified by RT-PCR.

RESULTOut of 1092 clinical specimens, 81 were HMPV positive by RT-PCR, the positive rate was 7.4% (81/1092). Among these positive specimens, 33 were inoculated to LLC-MK(2) cells and the replication of HMPV was revealed by antigen detection and RT-PCR from 5 out of these 33 inoculates. These isolated viruses could be passed in LLC-MK(2) cells and were not cross-reacted with other common respiratory viruses, such as ADV, RSV and Parainfluenza viruses 1/2/3 by monoclonal antibodies against these viruses in direct immunofluorescent assay. The HMPV was more likely to be isolated from fresh specimens within 24 hours after the collection of specimens which were not frozen. Four of the 5 isolated strains were identified as genotype A and 1 as genotype B. Unlike other respiratory viruses, these isolated HMPV did not show specific CPE in cell culture and the replication of the virus was identified by antigen detection and RT-PCR.

CONCLUSIONHMPV of both genotypes were isolated from infants and children with acute respiratory infections in Beijing which will accelerate the investigation of this important virus.

Objective To learn the epidemiological characteristics of foodborne disease outbreak in 2015,Zhejiang Province,and to provide evidences for the prevention and control of foodborne disease outbreak.Methods Descriptive epidemiological analysis using ArcGIS 10.2 and SPSS 19.0 was conducted on geographical country data,information of permanent resident population and the incidence data of foodborne disease outbreak reported through foodborne disease outbreak reporting information system in 2015.Results There were 116 foodborne disease events reported in Zhejiang in 2015,resulting in 1 009 persons attacked,115 hospitalization and 10 deaths.The proportion of unknown pathogenic factor for events was 29.31%.The events appearance sporadic,there were some local hotspots in Jiaxing.The vibrio parahaemolyticus was the most common pathogen (32.76%),and poisonous mushrooms(8.62%)come the second.Most foodborne disease incidents occurred during June to November.Restaurants ,family and rural feasts were the major places where the foodborne disease occurred.The proportion of family foodborne disease events because of mistaken and misuse poisonous substances increased,and the hospitalization rate and mortality of events of which were the highest (33.9% and 7.63% respectively).Conclusion The food safety management and of restaurants and rural feasts should be strengthened in summer and autumn,as well as foodborne disease prediction and forewarning to reduce the foodborne disease incidents caused by microorganism contamination and poisonous muchnooms.It is necessary to conduct public risk cognition research for foodborne disease in Zhejiang,which could provide evidence for preventing and controlling family foodborne disease.

Objective To observe the effect of ear acupuncture point treatment for insomnia patients of kidney deficiency. Methods A total of 91 cases of insomnia patients with kidney deficiency were randomly divided into two groups: 46 cases of treatment group and 45 cases of control group. Patients in treatment group underwent ear acupuncture point treatment for 1 months, two ears in turn, three days changed. While patients in control group only used warm water treatment. Results The effective rate of treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group ( P < 0. 01). Except for sleeping efficiency and daytime function factor of PSQI factor score, the other score in treatment group was significantly lower than that in control group (P < 0. 05). The SAS score of treatment group had significant difference, (P <0. 01). There was no significant difference in terms of the rate of adverse effect between groups (P >0. 05); The positive symptom of anxiety and depression in treatment group was significantly lower than that in control group. Conclusions The effect of ear acupuncture point treatment can improve sleep quality and psychological health of patients of kidney deficiency, its uncomfortable rates has no significant difference compared with that in hot water footbath therapy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between heat stress proteins 70 (HSPs70) gene polymorphism and the risk of acute mountain sickness.

METHODSFifty-six soldiers with acute mountain sickness and 173 soldiers without that were chosen as cases and controls. HSP70-1, HSP70-2 genotypes were analyzed by using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique.

RESULTSThe HSP70-1 polymorphism was similar in two groups. The genotype frequency of HSP70-2 B/B in acute mountain sickness group (23.2%) was significantly higher than that in the control (6.9%, P < 0.05, OR = 4.02).

CONCLUSIONThere is a significantly increased association of HSP70-2 B/B genotype with the risk of acute mountain sickness. Individuals with HSP70-2 B/B genotype may have weaker adaptive ability than those without this genotype under altitude stress. The results contribute to provide scientific bases for finding these individuals in specified occupational people, ensuring their health and enhancing work efficiency.
