The pathogenesis was a result of a series of neurologic, immunologic and endocrine factors making one another. Conclusion Recognizing the changes and pathogenesis have an important clinical significance for treating and preventing the intestinal barrier dysfunction induced by stress.

To investigate the status and working methods of prescription reviews for traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM) to provide reference for the scientific and rational methods for TCM prescription reviews. Methods:The experience of prescrip-tion reviews for TCM in recent years was summarized in some medical institutions, and then the implementation key points of prescrip-tion reviews for TCM was analyzed. Results and Conclusion:With the development of TCM clinical pharmacy in the major hospitals at home, a lot of useful exploration for TCM prescription reviews has been done in some medical institutions. However, TCM prescription reviews are facing many difficulties, such as the weak forces and the absence of uniform national standards. Therefore, it is necessary to establish scientific and rational methods for TCM prescription reviews in order to provide reference for peers.

OBJECTIVE:To put forward a proposal for the name standardization of Chinese herbal pieces. METHODS:Through searching literatures and analyzing each edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia,the existing problems about the name of Chi-nese herbal pieces in the 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia were found out to put forward solutions. RESULTS & CONCLU-SIONS:There are many non-standard problems,such as non-standard name of crude Chinese herbal pieces,non-standard name of processed Chinese herbal pieces,jingandganadded before the name of Chinese herbal pieces,pianadded after the name of Chinese herbal pieces. Based on these problems,suggestions for naming processed and non-processed Chinese herbal pieces were put forward,including noting processing method before the name of Chinese herbal medicines,adding processed form name after the name of Chinese herbal medicines,adding accessories name before the name of Chinese herbal medicines,maintaining the consistency and completeness of the names of Chinese herbal pieces and medicines,must markingshengwhen using toxic Chi-nese medicine pieces in medical treatment,and no appearing of the tablets in the name,etc.

In addition to kill tumor cells through direct cytotoxicity, the immunomodulatory activity is another facet of chemotherapy. The major molecular mechanisms of immunogenicity of cytotoxic drugs are elimination of CD_4~+ CD_(25)~+ regulatory T cells or Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells, and sensitization of tumor cells to immune effectors through modulation of death receptor expression. These studies provide scientific evidence for combinatorial treatments including vaccines and Traditional Chinese Medicine for cancer therapy.

Objectives To investigate the incidence rate of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap syndrome(ACOS)in elderly male patients with stable COPD by following-up,and to explore the characteristics and clinical significance of pulmonary function for ACOS.Methods According to GOLD and Spain's guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of COPD,we screened ACOS patients in 299 elderly male patients with stable COPD by following up in Beijing Hospital between 2003 and 2014.All patients were divided into 2 groups of 51 ACOS patients and 248 non-ACOS patients with COPD.All patients underwent pulmonary function tests and bronchial dilation test in the stable condition.The differences in pulmonary functions were compared between stable ACOS patients and non-ACOS patients with COPD.Results Among 299 elderly male patients with stable COPD,ACOS patients accounted for 17.1 ％ (51/299).Compared with nonACOS patients with stable COPD,ACOS patients had significantly lower baseline values in forced expiratory volume in 1 seconds(FEV1) [(61.0 ± 14.5) ％ pred vs.(74.4 ± 20.0) ％ pred],in forced expiratory volume in 3 seconds(FEV3) [(71.6± 14.3)％ pred vs.(82.7± 19.6)％ pred]and in forced vital capacity(FVC) [(84.6 ± 16.4)％ pred vs.(93.8 ± 20.6)％ pred],and also had significantly higher values in residual volume(RV)[(139.4±55.8)％ pred vs.(118.8±46.6)％ pred]and in RV/total lung capacity(TLC) [(52.7±10.7)％ pred vs.(48.1±10.9)％ pred],all P＜0.05.After bronchodilation test,there was no significant difference in FEV1,FEV3 and FVC between the two groups(all P＞0.05).Patients with stable ACOS had lower value in forced expiratory flow rat (FEF25％±75％)than those with non-ACOS in baseline [FEF25％-75％ ％ pred(26.8± 11.5) ％ vs.(36.1 ±17.5) ％ (P＜0.05)],and the improvement of small airway function was significantly better in ACOS patients than in non-ACOS patients after bronchodilation test (P＜0.05).Conclusions ACOS is very common in the elderly patients with COPD,stable ACOS patients have lower time vital capacity as compared with non-ACOS patients with stable COPD.But after bronchodilation test,the two groups have similar ventilation function,and the small airway function in ACOS patients improves more significantly.The ACOS patients have unique characteristics of pulmonary functions and suitable treatment may improve the prognosis.

Objective To explore the effect of donepezil combined with memantine in ameliorating the cogni-tive function and psychological behavior of patients with Alzheimers'disease(AD).Methods 214 AD patients were randomly divided into the control groupand observation group.The control group were treated with memantine,and the observation group were treated donepezil combined with memantine.Before and after treatment,MMSE and WHO -UCLA AVLT,BEHAVE -AD were utilized to assess the cognitive function,psychological behavior,respectively.The adverse effects were observed using TESS and laboratory examination.Results The scores of MMSE and its subitem, WHO -UCLA AVLT(Immediate memory,short -term memory and long -term memory)after treatment significantly increased as compared with those before treatment in the control group and the observation group(P <0.01 or P <0.05),while the cases of psychological behavior,the score of BEHAVE -AD and its subitem decreased(P <0.01 or P <0.05).The observation group showed statistically significant difference in the increasion of the scores of MMSE and its subitem,WHO -UCLA AVLT,and the decreasion of the cases of psychological behavior,the score of BE-HAVE -AD and its subitem comparison with the control group(t =-1.742,-1.431,-1.626,-2.173,-1.448,-1.026,-1.016,-1.279,-1.971,χ2 =12.295,7.609,8.917,t =0.778,1.139,2.004,1.153,0.822,1.944, P <0.01 or P <0.05).The total effective rate of the observation group was 90.65%,and 71.96% of the control group,there was a significant difference between the two groups(χ2 =12.299,P <0.01).There was no obvious side effects during the treatment in both groups.Conclusion Donepezil combined with memantine can significantly improve the cognitive function and psychological behavior of AD patients,and there are fewer adverse events.
