2.Essence of defensive qi and its medical significance
China Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy 2005;0(08):-
In traditional Chinese medicine,medical practice is combined with qi,which forms special qi-theory.Body fluid which includes blood and Jin-ye is the fluid structure of human being.Nutrient qi and defensive qi depend on these two kinds of body fluid.Defensive qi not only maintains physiological functions of Jin-ye,but also participates pathomechanism such as Jin-ye consumption,retention,etc.The identity of defensive qi and Jin-ye plays an important role in theory and clinic.

Objective To observe the initial therapy outcomes of Valproic acid for childhood absence epilepsy (CAE),and to assess its therapeutic reaction and short-term prognosis,and to investigate the risk factors for initial therapy failure.Methods From January 2010 to December 2015,absence seizures as key words were used to search CAE in the video-electroencephalogram(VEEG) database of Children's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University.Sixty-seven children fulfilled the CAE diagnosis criteria of International League Against Epilepsy in 1989.These patients were separated into 2 groups based on the therapy outcome after 6 months,including seizure control failure group and seizure control group.The patients' clinical characteristics and VEEG characteristics were reviewed.The gender,age of seizure onset,a family history of epilepsy or febrile seizures (FS),consistent with 2005 Panayiotopoulos diagnostic criteria,and VEEG findings were analyzed to evaluate the predictive ability of independent variables and the relationship between these features and treatment outcomes by using a stepwise multivariate Logistic regression model.Results The age at seizure onset was (5.89 ± 2.91) years old,and follow up duration was 6 months.Approximately 23 cases (34.3%) of CAE patients had poor response.No statistical correlation was made for gender,age at onset,the occurrence of generalized tonic clonic seizures,and family history of FS or epilepsy between 2 groups (all P >0.05).Compared with seizure control group,patients of the seizure control failure group had significantly higher rates of focal epileptic discharge (87.0% vs.6.8%),higher rates of intermittent photic stimulation (IPS) induced seizures (52.2% vs.6.8 %),fewer rates of occipital intermittent delta activity (8.7 % vs.77.3 %),and fewer rates of patients met the new diagnostic criteria proposed by Panayiotopoulos in 2005 (8.7% vs.88.6%) (all P < 0.001).The presence of occipital intermittent rhythmic delta activity during wake stage and the interictal focal epileptiform discharges on VEEG during sleep stage were significantly associated with the therapy outcomes in a multivariable Logistic regression analysis (OR =133.714,P < 0.05;OR =0.068,P < 0.05).Conclusions The presence of focal epileptiform discharges,and a typical absence induced by IPS are important factors for first-drug treatment failures with CAE,and conversely the occipital intermittent rhythmic delta activities have a good efficacy.There is no statistical correlation between clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and the short-term efficacy of laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of uterine malignant tumors. Methods Laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed in 25 cases of cervical cancer and 24 cases of endometrial cancer from February 2003 to March 2005 in this hospital.Of the 49 cases,a selective paraaortic lymphadenectomy was carried out in 5 cases. Results All the operations were successfully performed under laparoscope except for 1 case of conversion to open surgery.The operating time was 190?45 min,the blood loss during operation was 172?99 ml,and the number of excised lymph nodes was 17?6.Surgical complications occurred in 8 cases(8/49,16%),including 1 case of bladder injury,1 case of internal iliac vein injury,3 cases of urinary retention,1 case of vesicovaginal fistula(VVF) at the 6 postoperative month,and 2 cases of lymphatic cyst.Follow-up observations were carried out for 1~12 months in 21 cases,12~24 months in 17 cases,and 24~27 months in 4 cases.No recurrence was seen.Conclusions Laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of uterine malignant tumors is safe and feasible and offers significant short-term effects.

PC84045 human lung carcinoma cells (PC84045 HLCCs) were mixed with the BM cells activated by anti-CD3 McAb and IL-2 and then CD3-ALTO4 bi-specific McAbs was put into the cell suspension. The mixed cells were cultured for 3 days in presence of IL-2 and IL-3. Tumor cell colony formation method in half-solid culture system was used to assess the purging efficiency (PE) of the activated T cells to PC84045 HLCCs. The ratio of T cells to PC84045 HLCCs was 8 to 1, the PE was 4 Logs. The rario of T cells to PC84045 HLCCs was 16 tol, the PE was 5 Logs. When the purged BM cells were injected into the NC nude mice, none of subcutaneous node was found. The number of the CFU-GM, BFU-E of the purged BM cells was more than 85 % compared with that of the fresh BM cells (P

Objective To observe the clinical therapeutic effects of BaDuanJin exercise on patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis.Methods 72 patients were randomly divided into therapeutic group and control group,with 36 cases in each group.The patients in control group were treated with electroacupuncture and those in therapeutic group were treated with electroacupuncture and BaDuanJin exercise for 4 weeks.Pain degree(VAS)and shoulder ROM(Melle Scores)were evaluated before therapy,2 weeks and 4 weeks after therapy.The patients were followed up for 3 months.Results The VAS scores and Melle scores of both groups after therapy(both at two weeks and four weeks)showed significant difference than those before thempy.The scores after 4 weeks therapy were better than those of 2 weeks therapy.The effects of therapeutic group after 3 months showed better result than controls,but without statistical difference(P>0.05).Conclusion BaDuanJin,as a mild exercise had favorable therapeutic effccts on patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis.

Objective To investigate the way of fear conditioning memory model evoked and erased by foot-shock in tree shrew. Methods First, detect the tree shrew activities regularly in light/dark box. Second, test a suitable voltage degree of foot shock on tree shrew. Third, investigate the memory formation and erasing of fear conditioning on tree shrew of trial group. Results The duration of tree shrew (n=4) stay in the dark-box was significantly lon-ger than that of in the light box (P<0. 01) in normal condition. In the same environment of two light boxes, given different voltage degrees, the durations of tree shrew (n=6) stay in the stimulating chamber gradually reduced and the durations of tree shrew stay had significant difference between stimulatus chamber and no stimulatus chamber when the stimulus voltage up to 12 V ( P<0. 05 ) , 16 V ( P<0. 01 ) and 20 V ( P<0. 01 ) . The animal of trial group ( n=4 ) could build up the fear conditioning memory of the dark box with the stimulus of 16 V foot-shock in the dark box ( P<0. 001 ) . After formation of the fear conditioning memory, the same stimulus in light box ap-peared for 4 days. The durations of tree shrew stay in trial group (n=4) decreased in light box, and there was no significant difference between the trial group and the control group. Conclusion Tree shrew prefers to stay in the dark box. The suitable voltage for foot-shock on tree shrew is 16 V. The fear conditioning memory can be evoked and erased by foot-shock.
