[Objectives]To extract Yang Lishan’s description of latent evils ,summarize his arguments, and provide reference for exploring his academic ideology further. [Methods] Use the literature methodology, take“latent evils”and“pestilential pathogen”as keywords, retrieve the related description in Yang Lishan’s book, summarize his main opinions on latent evils. [Results] Yang Lishan wholly refused the theory of latent cold evil turning into pathogenic warm, and he believed that the cause of latent evils is pestilential pathogen, thereby distinguishes warm disease from exogenous febrile disease on etiology level. He described the disease’s quality, afferent pathway, hiding spot, the way out, therapeutic method, prescription and recuperation in details, which are mature enough to form a complete theoretical system. The prescription Sheng Jiang Powder represents experiment with the thought of treating pestilential pathogen with drugs and special medicine for special disease, which makes the etiology of pestilential pathogen to have real directive value. [Conclusion] Yang Lishan’s theory of latent evils has implications in treatment and prevention of epidemic diseases.

Objective To analyze related perioperative risk factors of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) early after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).Methods The cases from the recipients having undergoing OLT,aged from 15 to 65 years and having no chronic respiratory diseases and hyoxemia were collected.The exclusive criteria were as follows:(1) the patients dead or automatic discharging at the day after the OLT or during the OLT; (2) the patients suffered from severe surgical technic complications; (3) initial poor graft function occurred; (4) marginal donor; (5) pulmonary wedge pressure (PAWP)＞ 2.394kPa.251 patients were enrolled in this analysis,who were grouped according to whether they developed ARDS (group B) or not (group A) in the first postoperative day.The analyzed factors were as follows:(1) the sex,age and weight of the recipients; (2) preoperative variables of recipients:Child-Pugh and Model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score,left vent ricular ejection fractions,oxygenation index,the serum levels of creatinine,BUN,TB,albumin,prealbumin,fibrinogen and hemoglobin,white blood cells (WBC),platelet count and international normalized ratio (INR) ; (3) the variables of donator:age,the time of warm and cold ischemia; (4) the intraoperative variables:operative time,anhepatic phase,the volumes of hemorrhage and blood-transfusion (red cell suspension and plasma),transfusion volume; (5) postoperative variables of recipients:the serum levels of creatinine,blood urea nitrogen (BUN),total bilirubin (TB),albumin,alanine aminotransferase (ALT),sodium and potassium,fibrinogen and hemoglobin,WBC,platelet count and INR.Results The mild ARDS incidence early after OLT was 25.5 ％ (65/251) and the moderate or severe was 4.8％ (12/265).Single factor analysis showed that the factors having significant difference between group A and group B were as follows:the age of the recipients,preoperative variables (Child-Pugh and MELD score,the preoperative serum levels of BUN,TB,prealbumin,fibrinogen and hemoglobin,WBC,platelet count and INR),the intraoperative variables (the volumes of hemorrhage and blood-transfusion including red cell suspension and plasma) and the postoperative variables (the serum levels of BUN,TB,sodium,fibrinogen and hemoglobin,WBC,platelet count and INR).The significant factors were put to the analysis of LOGISTIC regression,and the results showed that the age of recipients,preoperative Child-Pugh score,BUN and INR,intraoperative hemorrhage volume,postoperative serum level of sodium were the independent risks contributing to ARDS.Conclusion The mild ARDS incidence early after OLT was high but the the moderate or severe incidence was low.The age of recipients,preoperative Child-Pugh score,BUN and INR,intraoperative hemorrhage volume and postoperative serum level of sodium may be the main risk factors to lung injury after OLT.

Interferon-tau (IFN-tau) is a newly discovered IFN of type I. It was originally found for its role as a pregnancy recognition hormone in ruminant animals such as sheep and cows. Like the other type I IFNs, IFN-tau have the same biological activities including antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory effects. In order to clearly identify the function of IFN-tau, the coding sequence of IFN-tau was amplified by PCR from IFN-tau cDNA, this fragment digested by EcoR I and BamH I and was inserted into pBV220 to form the recombinant plasmid pBV220/IFN-tau which was then transformed into E.coli BL21. It was found that pBV220/IFN-tau was highly expressed as inclusion body in BL21. Next, the expressed protein was purified on S-100 High Resolution and the purified product was confirmed by amino acid sequence analysis. Moreover, the standard antiviral activity test indicated that the activity of IFN-tau was about 2.09?106IU/ml.

BACKGROUND:Based on the blood and urine biochemical changes in different intensities and types of exercise, this research describes the impact of exercise on bone metabolism. Meantime, these biochemical indexes also show a method of marking physiological differences of certain individuals, and also reflect the impact of exercise on bone. These can be regarded as a monitoring index of bone growth and metabolism. OBJECTIVE:To study exercise effect from the biochemical indicators in bone metebolism, and make a further discussion about its influence on bone formation and bone resorption. METHODS:Databases of CNKI and PubMed were retrieved by computer with key words of “exercise; bone metabolism; biochemical indicators” in Chinese and English, respectively, by screening titles and abstracts to search papers related to exercise effects on the blood and urine biochemical indicators. Totaly 236 papers were initialy found, and only 38 papers were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Low-intensity exercise shows less effect on the bone, but excessive exercise is harmful to the bone that can cause stress fractures. What’s worse, it causes a lack of female hormone and reduce bone mass. Exercise can alter the blood and urine biochemical indicators in aspects of types of exercise and intensities. Only the exercise at appropriate intensity makes positive effects on bone formation and resorption, and assists bone mineral density and bone biomechanical indicators to develop exercise prescription and arrange rehabilitation exercises. MechanismS of bone turnover need further discussion at the celular level.

Objective To explore the efficacy of multiple target therapy in treatment of patients with chronic moderate and severe IgA nephropathy with hyperuricemia.Methods Seventy-six patients with chronic progressive moderate and severe IgA nephropathy with hyperuricemia were enrolled the current study and randomly divided into observation group and control group.Patients in control group were treated with allopurinol,prednisone,benner pury and valsartan,while those in observation group were treated with urokinase,mycophenolate mofetil besides the basis of control group for 6 months.The blood uric acid (UA),24 h urine protein,mean arterial pressure (MAP) and creatinine clearance rate (Ccr) were determined and analyzed.Results The levels of UA,24 h urinary protein,MAP and Ccr in observation group and control group were same before treatment (P ＞ 0.05).After 6 months treatment,the levels of UA,24 h urine protein,MAP and Ccr in observation group were (413.7 ± 90.7) μmol/L,(1.15 ± 0.57) g/L,(87.7 ± 10.6) mmHg and (81.9 ± 3.7) ml/min respectively,significantly different from those of the control group ((369.6 ± 67.2) μ mol/L,(0.77 ±0.51) g/L,(81.6 ±12.3) mmHg and (86.4 ±6.8) ml/min;t =2.219,2.802,2.132,3.230;P ＜0.05).The rate of adverse reactions in two groups was not significantly differnent(9.7％ (3/31) vs 9.1％ (3/33) ; x2 =0.006,P =0.936).Conclusion Multiply target therapy is effective and safe in terms of treating chronic progressive moderate and severe IgA nephropathy with hyperuricemia.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transcranial doppler(TCD)as an additional screening tool for intracranial arterial steno-occlusive disease in patients with acute ischaemic stroke(AIS)by comparing with the computed tomography angiography(CTA). Methods Two hundred and twenty-four consecutive patients who were hospitalized within 7 days of the onset of symptoms and fulfilled the criteria for the clinical di-agnosis of AIS between May 2013 and May 2014 were enrolled for the study. Among the 224 patients,there were 118 males and 106 females with an average age of 61.2±12.6 years. High-resolution brain CTA was performed after completion of TCD. Results There was slight distinction of the diag-nostic accuracy of TCD for different arteries. TCD demonstrated the most accurate diagnosis for carotid artery vascular system,with a sensitivity of 96.19%and specificity of 98.60%. For the vertebrobasilar vascular system,TCD diagnosis showed a sensitivity of 71.11%and specificity of 94.31%. TCD findings were complementary to the CTA results(real-time embolization,collateral flow patterns and steal phenomenon). Conclusion TCD shows a high diagnostic accuracy comparing to CTA in evaluating intracranial and extracranial arterial stenosis in patients with AIS,especially for the carotid artery vascular system analysis within a short time interval. TCD can also provide additional real-time dynamic findings complementary to the information provided by CTA.

Objective To evaluate the role of autophagy in hippocampal neurons in cognitive dysfunction caused by sevoflurane anesthesia in juvenile rats.Methods One hundred four male SpragueDawley rats, aged 7 days, weighing 10-16 g, were randomly assigned into 3 groups using a random number table: control group (group C, n =8), sevoflurane anesthesia group (group S, n =48), and sevoflurane anesthesia + rapamycin group (group SR, n =48).Group C inhaled 60％ oxygen for 6 h.S and SR groups inhaled 3.6％ sevoflurane anesthesia for 6 h, and in addition, rapamycin 2 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 1 h before of sevoflurane inhalation in group SR.The equal volume of phosphate buffer solution was given in C and S groups.At 1 h before sevoflurane anesthesia (T0) , immediately after the end of anesthesia (T1) , and at 12, 24 and 48 h after the end of anesthesia (T2-4) , 8 rats were randomly selected from S and SR groups to determine the expression of autophagy-related proteins microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) Ⅰ , LC3 Ⅱ and Beclin-1 in hippocampal neurons (by Western blot).The ratio of LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ was calculated.Morris water maze test was performed at 5 weeks after the end of anesthesia to assess the cognitive function.The escape latency, frequency of crossing the original platform, and duration of swimming spent at the target quadrant were recorded.Results Compared with the values at T0, the expression of LC3 Ⅱ and Beclin-1 was significantly down-regulated at T1-3 , and the ratio of LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 [was decreased in group S, and the expression of LC3 Ⅱ and Beclin-1 was significantly up-regulated at T1-4, and the ratio of LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ was increased in group SR (P＜0.05).Compared with group C, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the frequency of crossing the original platform was reduced, and the duration of swimming spent at the target quadrant was shortened at 3-5 days in group S (P＜0.05) , and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group SR (P＞ 0.05).Compared with group S, the escape latency was significantly shortened, the frequency of crossing the original platform was increased, and the duration of swimming spent at the target quadrant was prolonged at 3-5 days, the expression of LC3 Ⅱ and Beclin-1 was up-regulated at T1-4 , and the ratio of LC3 Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ was increased in group SR (P＜0.05).Conclusion Weakened autophagy in hippocampal neurons is involved in cognitive dysfunction caused by sevoflurane anesthesia in the juvenile rats.
