Objective] To study the transmission of the Ishinpo versions ,understand the prevailing version of Ishinpo. [Method] With the research methods of the Chinese traditional history and philology,collect and sort historical cited references of the Ishinpo, by paying attention to three main emendation in the transmission history of Ishinpo. [Result] Ishinpo of Nakarai is the golden version for document research. The prevailing Ansei Ishinpo version of contemporary China is based on Nakarai version,which consists of twenty seven scrolls of Hei era and three scrolls of Edo Era. Ishinpo Versions have been divided into Emperor Nakarai versions,Uji versions and Family tradition versions. There are big differences in utilization and completeness of the three version system. The Emperor Nakarai versions are relatively good, of which the Nakarai version preserves best. The Uji versions are widespread, of which the RenHe Temple version is better preserved but lacuna. There are lots of lacunas in the family tradition versions, owing to circulateed copies. [Conclusion] In the three main emendation, of Ishinpo, mostly, the Nakarai version is the source edition, the Uji version is primary edition, and the family tradition version is the secondary edition. The paper, which is useful in the transmission of the Ishinpo and thus historical process of medical exchange between China and Japan, has established the system of Ishinpo versions, defined the golden version and the prevailing version.

The ghrelin is an endogenous ligand of the growth hormone (GH) secretagogue receptor,which can regulate the secretion of GH,stimulate the appetite,adjust the energy metabolism,and improve the cardiovascular function.Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) usually suffered from malnutrition and growth retardation,which were connected with insufficiency of energy intake,poor absorption,and increase of nutritional requirement,anatomy and the changes of hemodynamics.Many infants with CHD gradually present ventricular dysfunction and growth restriction in their early childhood,which consequently lead to severe complications.Ghrelin is valuable in the early detection of potential CHD,plays an important role in improving the state of malnutrition and protecting the cardiac function,and provides an important reference to explore the new drug therapy for CHD.This review summarized the effects and significances of ghrelin on growth and cardiac function in infants with CHD.

Objective To observe the effects of ganglioside and piracetam in improving the neurological function in patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.Methods Ninety-six patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage Were randomly divided into 2 groups,ganglioside group(48 patients)and piracetam group(48 patients).Ganglioside group used the amount 40mg ganglioside mixed with sodium chloride injection(100ml,concentration 0.9%),and the piracetam group uesd piracetam(20g)mixed with the same injection.Both the patients of the 2 groups were given intravenous drip once a day,then after continuous 3 weeks,the general information and the improvement of nerve were observed.Results The effective rate and excellent rate of ganglioside group were remarkably higher than piracetam group,there was significant difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Ganglioside was better than pimcetam in improving clinical symptoms and the neurological deficit of the patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.

Objective The purposes of the present study are to investigate the effects and mechanisms of Bu Shen Ning Xin Yi Jing Pill on premature ovarian failure (POF) through a clinical study. Methods Sixty women with POF were administered and randomized into the treatment group and the control group. Every group had thirty cases. Patients in the treatment and control groups were requested to have the Bu Shen Ning Xin Yi Jing Pill and the Liu Wei Di Huang Pill, respectively. Six-month duration was considered as a therapeutic course. The serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol (E2) were determined by the chemistry luminescence method. Differences between the treatment and control groups were investigated.Results Improved menstruation were revealed in both groups and the treatment group showed significant improvement than the control group (P<0.01). In the treatment group, serum FSH levels sharply dropped after treatment, while the serum E2 levels significantly elevated compared with those of prior-treatment (P<0.01) . The total effective rate in the treatment group was 70% (21 cases), whereas 40% in the control group (12 cases). The difference had statistical significance (P<0.01) .Conclusion The BuShen NingXin YiJing Pill is effective in the treatment of premature ovarian failure via significant improvements in the clinical symptoms and balance of the endocrine hormones.

Objective To determine whether pancreatic ductal preservation(pancreatic ductal injection of sparing TIUW solution at the time of pancreas procurement)can improve islet yield and function after cold preservation of pancreas.Methods Pancreases were classified into five groups:fresh pancreases(group1 ,n= 10);preserved for 6 hr in TIUW solution without and with pancreatic ductal preservation by TIUW solution(group2, n=10 and group3, n = 10);preserved for 24 hr in TIUW solution without and with pancreatic ductal preservation by TIUW solution(group4 ,n= 10 and group5,n= 10).Dithizon(DTZ)staining was used to identify islet morphous and yield, trypan blue uptake(TBU)was used to assess the nonviability of islets, the insulin secretory response to glucose was used to evaluate islet function in vitro, islet transplantation was used to determine islet function in vivo.Results Islet yields per pancreas after purification in group 1 to 5 were 590± 127, 272 ± 50,454 ± 65, 253± 56, 447 ± 66(islet equivalent ± SD), respectively.Percentage of nonviable islets in grouplto5were(5.7±4.2)%,(18.3±6.5)%,(11.7±4.2)%,(26.3±5.6)%,(15.0±5.3)%.Stimulation index in group 1 to 5 were 7.32±2.32, 4.81±1.17, 7.56±2.44, 2.88±1.00, 5.71±1.90.Cure rates in group 1 to 5 were 100%, 0%, 100%, 0%, 70%.In this study, the differences were significant between control groups and experimental groups(P＜0.05, group 2 vs.group3 and group4 vs.group5).Conclusion The pancreatic ductal preservation can improve islet yield and function.

Objective To explore the effect of prenatal inflammation on rat offspring's blood pressure and behavioral performance.Methods Twenty-four time-mated Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into three groups,i.e.control,zymosan and LPS.On their gestation days 8,10,12,the pregnant rats received i.p.injections of sterile saline,0.79 mg/kg zymosan or 0.79 mg/kg LPS respectively.When the offspring were sixty weeks old,eight pups were chosen randomly for the later study.Their serum TNF-? level was detected by ELISA using tail blood,arterial blood pressure was measured by tail-cuff method,and their behavioral performance was detected in Morris water maze test.At the end of the experiment,the brains were rapidly taken from the sacrificed offspring,cut into sections and stained with H&E method to investigate the structural changes of hippocampus.Results Compared with control group,all offspring from the inflammation groups showed increased serum level of TNF-?,increased systemic arterial blood pressure,long latency in finding the safe platform and decreased number of neurons in CA1 region of hippocampus.Conclusion Prenatal exposure to LPS or zymosan results in hypertension and disturbance of learning and memory.
