The feature of TCM is embodied in its unique thought style. Standing at TCM self thought rule, it discusses the future development of TCM, pointing out that TCM development must preserve traditional thought feature, thereby reform present TCM thought method and set up modern TCM thought system.

Objectives To investigate the effects of ethanol on neural development and kainate receptor expression in young mice. Methods Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder model was established by administration of 20% ethanol solu?tion to 7-day-old Kunming mice and control animals received physiological saline (The number of treatment and control were 80 and 40, respectively ). Body weight and general biological features were observed every day. Morris water maze was used to test learning and memory ability. Fluoro-Jade B was used to examine neural cells 24 hours after treatment in additional thirty 7-day-old Kunming mice which were further divided into two groups:a treatment group receiving 20%ethanol solution (n=15) and a control group receiving physiological saline (n=15). The development of neural cells and expression levels of kainite receptors were examined by using immunofluorescence staining. Results The body weight was significantly lighter in treatment group than in control group(control:21.13 ± 1.72g,treatment:13.96 ± 2.98g,P<0.05). Morris test showed that model group had longer latency than control group to find hidden platform(control:21.05± 5.31s,treatment:34.15±3.26s,P<0.05). Spatial probe test revealed that the number of passing through the platform were significantly smaller in model group than in control group(control:2.70 ± 1.25 times,treatment:0.93 ± 0.80 times,P<0.05). Astrocyte development anomaly was evident after ethanol treatment for 7 days. The expression levels of kainite re?ceptor GluR-6 and KA2 were up-regulated in the CA region of the hippocampus after ethanol treatment for 7 days. Con?clusion Kainite receptor GluR-6 and KA2 in CA region of the hippocampus may contribute to ethanol-induced hippo?campal neural development anomaly.

Aim To establish and compare asthma models among different strains of obese mice. Methods Different strains of SPF female mice, namely Kunming ( KM ) , C57BL/6J and BALB/c mice, were randomly divided into four groups ( control group, asthma group, obesity group and obese asthma group). The mice were fed a high-fat diet or a normal diet for 12 weeks, following which they were sensitized and challenged with ovalbu-min ( OVA) or phosphate-buffered saline ( PBS) . Body weight, fat weight, liver weight, Lee′s index, OVA-specific IgE concen-tration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ( BALF) , serum total cho-lesterol ( TC) and triglyceride ( TG) levels, and lung and adi-pose morphologies were evaluated. The specific airway resistance ( sRaw) was measured using double-chamber plethysmography. Results The mice on a high-fat diet showed a more rapid in-crease in body weight compared with those on a normal diet. Af-ter 12 weeks of feeding, body, fat, and liver weights and Lee′s index were higher for the obese mice than for the lean mice. The adipocyte cross-sectional area was significantly greater in the obese BALB/c and KM mice than in their lean counterparts;the C57BL/6J groups showed no significant differences. The BALB/c mice demonstrated more significant symptoms of acute asthma, local inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness ( AHR ) . Conclusion Compared with C57BL/6J and KM mice, BALB/c mice fed a high-fat diet and sensitized and challenged with OVA provide the most suitable model for evaluating the relationship between obesity and asthma.

Objectiye To investigate the clinical application value of emergency therapeutic encoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) on acute biliary-pancreatic diseases.Methods Duodenoscope was applied on the emergency treatment for 103 patients of acute biliary-pancreatic diseases from March 2007 to May 2010. According to patients' conditions, the examination of ERCP,endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) and endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) were carried out. The papilla sphincter was slivered by needle knife under the circumstances of the stone incarceration in the papilla,then calculus was removed by net basket. ENBD or endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD)was placed according to the state of an illness. Statistical analysis was made by SPSS 13.0 software with a 2 × 2 table analysis, Comparison of ratio were determined with x2 test, a value less than 0. 05 was considered as significant. Results Of 103 cases, the success rate of endoscopic treatment was 97. 1% ( 100/103 ).Among 100 cases, 25cases (24. 3% ) were treated with ERCP and ENBD/ERBD; 12 cases (11.7%) were treated with ERCP, needle knife fenestration and ENBD; 67 cases (65. 1% ) were treated with ERCP,EST, calculus removal and ENBD; 8 cases (7. 8% ) were treated with ERCP, EST and ERBD. Of 100 cases one (1.0%) suffered from postoperative hemorrhage of duodenal papilla, which was cured by endoscopic hemostasis. Compared with selective cases those undergoing emergency ERCP often needed two stage procedures (P = 0. 010), but there are no statistical differences between two groups in success rate (P = 0. 122). Conclusions Emergency ERCP are safe and effective in acute biliary-pancreatic diseases.

The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is a destructive pest native to America and has recently become an invasive insect pest in China. Because of its rapid spread and great risks in China, understanding of FAW genetic background and pesticide resistance is urgent and essential to develop effective management strategies. Here, we assembled a chromosome-level genome of a male FAW (SFynMstLFR) and compared re-sequencing results of the populations from America, Africa, and China. Strain identification of 163 individuals collected from America, Africa and China showed that both C and R strains were found in the American populations, while only C strain was found in the Chinese and African populations. Moreover, population genomics analysis showed that populations from Africa and China have close relationship with significantly genetic differentiation from American populations. Taken together, FAWs invaded into China were most likely originated from Africa. Comparative genomics analysis displayed that the cytochrome p450 gene family is extremely expanded to 425 members in FAW, of which 283 genes are specific to FAW. Treatments of Chinese populations with twenty-three pesticides showed the variant patterns of transcriptome profiles, and several detoxification genes such as AOX, UGT and GST specially responded to the pesticides. These findings will be useful in developing effective strategies for management of FAW in China and other invaded areas.
