The article points that phlegm diseases should not only be summarized into pathological products resulting from disturbance of water metabolism in the body,but be expressed as pathological products resulting from the essence of the water and food can not become Qi,blood and body fluids.The concept on the difference of visible phlegm and invisible phlegm is wrong.Phlegm is pathological links of diseases,should not be classified as a secondary pathogen.In the textbook of Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine,phlegm and fluid retention should be discussed separately; their concepts,pathogens and pathogenic characteristics should not be discussed together.But we think the discussion of visible phlegm and invisible phlegm should be substituted as discussion of the difference between phlegm and phlegm diseases.

Through the following aspects including“choose right man to teach”,“choose right doctor to take medicine”,“medical classics school and classical prescription school”,“first-Class doctor can manage a state”, this article summed up some characteristics of medicine inheritance in Qin and Han dynasties and discussed the inspiration to today’s traditional Chinese Medicine education.

Objective To analyze the clinical feature, diagnosis, treatment a nd prognostic factors of primary lymphoma of the small bowel. Methods From Apr il 1989 to May 2002, 33 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the small bowel were analyzed retrospectively. The Ann Arbor stages were: ⅠE 12, ⅡE 15 and Ⅳ E 6. The histological subtypes were: T-cell lymphoma 1 and B-cell lymphomas 32. A ll the patients received surgical treatment including radical or palliative rese ction. Twenty-six patients received postoperative radiotherapy including strip -f ield technique in 12 and opposed anterior-posterior fields in 14, with a median dose of 2543.5?cGy. Postoperative chemotherapy were applied to all patients inclu ding CHOP regimen in 17, COMP regimen in 6, COP regimen in 3, MINE regimen in 2, COPP regimen in 3 and BACOP regimen in 2. The median number of cycle was 4. Results The overall 5-year survival rate and disease-free survival rate were 48% and 39%. The 5-year survival rates were: ⅠE stage 42%, ⅡE stage 67% and ⅣE s tage 17%, respectively. Conclusions Most of the primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the small intestine are in stage ⅠE and ⅡE, and the intermediate-grade and h igh-grade pathological subtypes are predominant. Surgery based combined treatme n t is effective and is advised. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy may improve the sur vival.

AIM: To study the correlation between the drug effects and serum HPLC fingerprint from active compositions of Radix paeoniae alba and Radix et Rhizowa Glycyrrhizae. METHODS: Orthogonal design of L_9(3~4) of the different combinations of three active compositions of paeoniflorin,glycyrrhiza flavoues and Glycyrrhizic acid were prepared,antalgic pharmacological experiments of mice were carried out.The fingerprints of the serum were tested by HPLC method and different chromatographic peaks were obtained.Correlation analysis was applied to interelationship between the area of each peaks and the pharmacologic data. RESULTS: Correlation coefficients were different between pear areas and analgetic coffec. CONCLUSION: This study provides a significant try of investigating the compatibility of composite herbal medicines.

Acromegaly is a rare clinical endocrine disorder related to systematic complications such as cardiovascular,respiratory and metabolic disorders which determine its prognosis.Hypertension is the main complication resulting in the increased frequency of morbidity.The mechanism of hypertension in acromegaly is still no real consensus.In this review,we examine the prevalence and danger of hypertension in acromegalic patients and discuss the clinical and experimental mechanisms on the cardiovascular system in order to define the possible pathogenetic factors involved in the development and/or maintenance of high arterial blood pressure in acromegaly.The modern object of acromegalic treatment is normalization of morbidity and the treatment of pituitary tumor involve surgery,medication and radiation.Besides,blood pressure control is also demanded.The lowering of blood pressure observed in a proportion of hypertensive acromegalics,and the normalization of serum GH and IGF-1 level is of great importance.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of primary parotid non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Methods From March 1988 to February 2001, twenty-nine patients with primary parotid non-Hodgkin' s lymphoma treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The data were analyzed according to the following factors: sex, age, stage, pathologic classification, chemotherapy given or not, cycles of chemotherapy, radiotherapy given or not, and the dose at the parotid. Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank method were used in the statistic analysis. Results The overall 5-year and 10-year survival rates were 73. 3% and 51.0% . Stage and pathologic classification were prognostic factors in our statistic analysis. The 5-year survival rates were 81.6% and 25.0% for early stage ( I E + IIE) and advanced stage ( III E + IVE) patients, with the difference significant ( P

As a receptor mediating the transmembrane signal transduction in the innate immunity, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a bridge between innate immunity and required immunity, and plays an important role when signal-transducing of some cells are activated. Recent reports show that TLR4 expresses in the different glial cells and strongly links to the innate immune activation and inflammatory response in the central nervous system (CNS). TLR4 plays a key role in the processes of brain damage by infection of the CNS, stroke, cerebral hemorrhage and trauma. In this review, we concentrate on recent findings regarding the progress of function and mechanism of TLR4 in the processes of the CNS damage in various diseases.

OBJECTIVE To investigate and analyze the hospital infection in 32 hospitals throughout the county,in order to reduce hospital infection. METHODS According to new Hospital infection administration regulations and medical service hospital infection control quality evaluation requirements,we had investigated and analyzed and guidanced to improve the hospital infection management in 32 hospitals of the county for a two-years. RESULTS The monitoring,surveillance and management of hospital infection in grass-roots hospitals as a quality evaluation index of hospital medical service still had many problems,After two years,it had been more improved the quality in the field of administration management,sterilization and disinfection,surveillance and sevage treatment. CONCLUSIONS According to Hospital infection administration regultions it is important to strengthen the hospital infection management for guaranteeing the grass-roots hospital medical service quality and medical care safety.
