Professor LI Zhi-dao, according to acupoint selection of syndrome differentiation in TCM basic theory, concluded a new therapy, namely "tonifying three qi" that is mainly based on three acupoints in the Conception Vessel. This method is consisted of Danzhong (CV 17), Zhongwan (CV 12) and Qihai (CV 6) in the Conception Vessel, which could successively nourish clear qi, stomach qi and original qi. In clinic, according to the severity of symptoms of three qi, the acupoints are selected flexibly, which could respectively treat deficiency of heart-lung qi, deficiency of stomach-spleen qi and deficiency of original qi. Some examples are also given in the article.

Objective To study the effects of 6-week aerobic treadmill exercise on the genes expression in skeletal muscle of C57BL/6 mice.Gene array was performed and the data was analyzed to evaluate the adaptive changes at gene level caused by exercise.Methods Twenty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into two groups:control group(C) and aerobic exercise group (E).The mice from group E were forced to run on treadmill for 6 weeks.After 6 weeks,all mice were fasted for 16 hours,and then sacrificed.Their flexor muscle was removed.4 samples from each group were analyzed with gene chips to dissect the differentially expressed genes between the two groups.Results Our results showed that 723 genes were differentially expressed in E group as compared with C group after the 6 weeks aerobic exercise,among which 510 genes were up-and 213 down-regulated.There were 6 differentially expressed calcium signaling genes and 2 ofwhich(Gnall and Pdgfra) were up-regulated,while the others(Phka1,Picd4,RYR1 and Ppid)were down regulated.

recurrence of half a year.Results The rate of symptom improvement in D group was significantly better than the other three groups(P <0.05).Over time,there was no statistical difference between four groups.The recurrence rate of D group (0.00%)was obviously lower than A group (11.76%),the B group (2.00%)and the C group (3.85%)(P <0.05).Conclusion Microscope with the traditional Chinese medicine is a good choice in preventing postoperative the rate of symptom and recurrence.

ObjectiveTo explore the expression and clinical significance of Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac-1) protein and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) in breast cancer and their relationship with tumor stage, node metastasis status and hormone receptor status. MethodsImmunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Rac-1 and HIF-1α protein in 139 specimens of breast cancer,combined with their clinical pathological characteristics and hormone receptor status for statistical analysis.Results The expression of Rac-1 and HIF-1α in breast cancer tissue were 64.75 ％ and 65.47 ％,respectively.The levels were related with the stage of TNM and histological grade (P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01).There was no significant correlation between these two proteins'expression and the age of patient,primary pathological location, histologic type and menstruation status of breast cancer patients(P ＞ 0.05). The expression of Rac-1 and HIF-1α had no statistical significance between triple negative breast cancer(TNBC)and non-triple negative breast cancer (NTNBC) patients (x2 =1.1229,x2 =0.1786,P ＞ 0.05); The expression level of Rac-1 was positively correlated with HIF-1α in these breast cancer specimens (rs =0.414,P ＜ 0.01).ConclusionThe expression of Rac-1 is positively correlated with HIF-1α level in breast cancer.The relationship between Rac-1 and HIF-1α might be as a new important marker to estimate the invasion,metastasis extent and prognosis in breast cancer.Blocking the regulation between Rac-1 and HIF-1α might be a new treatment target in breast cancer.

Objective To study the difference of body weight gain in the first and second trimesters between pregnant women with abnormal gestational glucose metabolism and those with normal gestational glucose metabolism.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of pregnant women visited the obstetric clinic of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2010 to May 2011,with or without abnormal glucose metabolism.The data of body weight gain in the first and second trimesters,body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy,BMI in the end of second trimester,age,obesity history,diabetes family history,insulin level in the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT),and lipid profile of these women were collected.Results Altogether 216 pregnant women with abnormal glucose metabolism (case group) and 230 pregnant women with normal glucose metabolism (control group) were included in this study.In the case group,the increment of body weight in the first and second trimesters was 10.0 (8.1,12.5) kg,and the increment of BMI was (4.01 ± 1.43) kg/m2,BMI in the end of the second trimester was (25.84 ± 3.14) kg/m2;in comparison,the increments of body weight and BMI in the first and second trimesters were 9.5 (7.0,11.5) kg and (3.60 ± 1.43) kg/m2,respectively,BMI in the end of the second trimester was (25.1 ± 3.00) kg/m2 in the control group,all significantly lower than in the case group (all P ＜ 0.05).The BMI before pregnancy was higher in the case group than in the control group [(21.84 ±2.99) kg/m2 vs.(21.50 ±2.82) kg/m2],but with no statistical significance (P＞0.05).Compare with the control group,the case group had older age [(33.17 ±3.65) years vs.(31.68±3.36) years],higher fasting insulin level [11.2 (7.1,16.3) mU/Lvs.8.9 (6.5,13.7) mU/L],higher peak insulin level in OGTT [135.3 (99.7,208.0) mU/L vs.104.9 (75.6,144.4) mU/L],higher homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) [2.40 (1.49,3.47) vs.1.82 (1.28,2.71)],and triglyceride [2.62 (2.04,3.31) mmol/L vs.2.18 (1.81,2.81) mmol/L],all with significant differences (all P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences in obesity history,family history of diabetes and history of menstrual disorder between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The body weight gain is higher in the pregnant women with abnormal glucose metabolism than in those with normal glucose metabolism in the first and second trimesters.Large increment of body weight is likely to be a risk factor for abnormal gestational glucose metabolism.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint application of antiemetic cream in the treatment of che-motherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. METHODS:90 cases of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)(stage Ⅱ to Ⅲ)treated by chemotherapy(taxol+cisplatin)were randomly divided into antiemetic cream group,Weifuan group and control group,with 30 cas-es in each groupby drawing lots. Control group was given intravenous injection of ondansetron hydrochloride 8 mg 30 min before chemotherapy;antiemetic cream group was additionally given acupoint application of antiemetic cream 30 min before medication on first-forth day on the basis of control group;Weifuan group was additionally given acupoint injection of metoclopramide(brand name:Weifuan) 30 min before medication on first-forth day on the basis of control group. The clinical efficacy of 3 groups were observed during and 3 days after chemotherapy. RESULTS:After chemotherapy,the total control rates of antiemetic cream group (93.33%)and Weifuan group(90.00%)were apparently higher than the control group(66.67%),with statistical significance(P<0.01 or P<0.05);The total effective rates of TCM syndrome in antiemetic cream group (90.00%) and Weifuan group(83.33%) were apparently higher than in control group(60.00%),with statistical significance(P<0.01 or P<0.05). Therapeutic efficacy of antiemetic cream group was similar to Weifuan group,without any statistical significance(P>0.05). However,8 patients had obvi-ously pain at the injection site in Weifuan group,but tolerated to the drugs basically. CONCLUSIONS:The acupoint application of antiemetic cream combined with intravenous injection of ondansetron is effective and easy to operate in the treatment of nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy for stage Ⅱ to Ⅲ of NSCLC without pain,scar and sequela,and easy to be accepted by patients.
