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 research the tissue structure changes of vessels wall in the patients with liver cirrhotic portal hypertension and to investigate the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in development process of liver cirrhosis.Methods The left portal vein,left hepatic artery and left hepatic vein (n=27) were collected from the patients with liver transplantation as the case group and the corresponding vessels of traumatic hepatectomy were collected as control group (n=15).HE staining and Masson staining were performed respectively.The hepatic arteries were stained with elastic fibers and immunized with anti-human iNOS polyclonal antibody.Results Compared with the control group,the portal vein intima and tunica media in the case group were thickened,the smooth muscle cells of tunica media were hyperplasia and hypertrophy,partial smooth muscle cells protruded into the intima;the irregular proliferation of hepatic arterial intima,arterial luminal stenosis,internal elastic membrane flatten,and even fracture,the tunica media smooth muscle hyperplasia to the intima were also observed;no obvious structural changes were observed in the hepatic vein wall.The higher expression of iNOS was found in the cytoplasm of hepatic artery smooth muscle cells (P<0.01).Conclusion The walls of liver artery and portal vein in the patients with liver cirrhosis would secondarily develop the tissue structure reconstruction,which is the results of human body′s own compensatory mechanism,the higher expression of iNOS accelerats the occurrence and development of the tissue structure reconstruction.

Nucleated red blood cells (nRBCs) are immature red blood cells, which are rarely in circulating blood in elder children, but often present in neonatal blood. The clinical significance in neonates is unclear. Numerous studies have shown that many kinds of acute and chronic stimuli can lead to an increase in the number of nRBCs in circulating blood. This article reviews various pathological processes related to the production and release of nRBCs, and emphasizes the effects of acute and chronic hypoxia and immune regulation on it.

Objective:The present research aimed to explore the involvement of ERK signaling pathway in apoptosis of hepatic carcinoma induced by decitabine combined sodium valproate.Methods: HepG2 cell line was incubated with decitabine combined sodium valproate and the inhibition rate was detected by MTT method.The apoptotic related protein and ERK signal pathway proteins were assayed by Real-time PCR or Western blot.Results: The HepG2 cell line was inhibited greatly by decitabine combined sodium valproate medication with an increased expression of Caspase3,Caspase9 and Bax (P<0.05).The expression of Ras,Raf,MEK and ERK1/2 was increased dramatically after incubation with decitabine combined sodium valproate when compared with control group ( P<0.05).Conclusion:Decitabine combined sodium valproate exert a significant inhibition on the proliferation of HepG2 cell line by nor-malizing the abnormal MEK/ERK signaling pathway.

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.
