The use ofYang transforming Qi, Yin constituting the bodycan be used in the treatment of metastasis of breast cancer from pathogenesis transformation view. Based on literature, this article analyzed the theory of Yang transforming Qi, Yin constituting the body and its possible guidance to clinical practice. Then the article illustrated the application cases of this theory in the treatment of breast cancer metastasis.

Aim To explore the function of immune modulation of anti-HBV iRNA in patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB) Methods Peripheral blood lymphocyte iRNA was prepared from anti-HBs positive human body with HBV complete clearance after HBV infection(h-iRNA). The effect of h-iRNA on HBV specific lymphocyte proliferative response of peripheral lymphocyte from patients with CHB was observed by using MTT method and was compared with that by HBV specific iRNA from animal immunized only by HBsAg(a-iRNA).Results Both h-iRNA and a-iRNA increased the level of peripheral lymphocyte proliferative response to HBsAg in patients with CHB to some degree. In group of HBcAg, only h-iRNA showed its enhancement of HBcAg specific lymphocyte proliferative response.Conclusions h-iRNA can increase HBV specific lymphocyte proliferative response in patients with CHB and the function of increasing HBcAg specific lymphocyte proliterative response contributes to HBV clearance .

Objective To investigate the effects and safety of the treatment of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH)in refractoriness heart failure with renal insufficiency patients.Methods 35 hospitalized patients of refractori- ness heart failure with renal insufficiency were chosen from 2001 to 2006,25 patients were treated by CVVH,and other 10 patients were treated by regular hemodialysis.The serum BUN,Cr,left ventricle ejection fraction(LVEF),were observed before and after the therapy in each group.Results The clinical symptom were obviously improved in Group HF,and LVEF,cardiac output(CO) were both increased by continuous hemofiltration treatment(P

A piece of news was introduced into pharmacology course examination.Students were asked to make comments on the news based on pharmacology knowledge or principles.All points of view were summarized and given back to the students after the examination. The right way to answer the question was discussed and a consensus on the answer was reached.lt was indicated that the teaching method in the trial is helpful for improvement of students' overall analytical skills.

Objective To investigate the effects of oral calcitriol pulse therapy combined with resin adsorption in treatment of severe secondary hyperparathyroidism.Methods Thirty-two hemodialysis patinents were randomly divided into three groups:oral calcitriol pulse therapy(CP group,12 cases),oral calcitriol pulse therapy combined with resin adsorption group(CP+RA group,10 cases),and resin adsorption group(RA group,10 cases).Serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone(iPTH),albumin,urea,creatinine,hemoglobin levels were detected before treatment and 1,2,3 months after treatment respectively.Serum calcium and phosphorus levels were also detected every half a month.Results The clearance rate of resin adsorption Was decreased significantly every time(P<0.05).Serum iPTH in CP+RA group decreased significantly 2 months after treatment.Serum iPTH3 months after treatment in CP+RA group[(598.50 ±317.45)ng/L]was less than that in CP group[(1008.67±436.85)ng/L]and RA group[(1464.60±411.27)ns/L](P<0.05).Conclusion Oral calcitriol pulse therapy combined with resin adsorption can clear iPTH safely and effectively.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of Xianxiong decoction on the mice with acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide.

METHODEighty female ICR mice were randomly divided into 8 groups: model group, Xianxiong decoction group, Daxianxiong decoction group, Xianxiong decoction group without Kansui Radix group, Xianxiong decoction group without Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma group, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Kansui Radix group, normal group and control group. Animals of each group, except normal group, were undertaken intraperitoneal injection and intranasal inhalation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on day 1, 2, 3 to establish acute lung injury (ALI) model. 30 min after modeling, 0.2 mL corresponding drugs were administrated to each mice, dexam ethasone and normal saline were given to the mice of control group and normal group respectively. White blood cell in blood, neutrophil percentage of blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) supernatant, the ratio of wet and dry lung tissue ( W/D), histopathological changes of lung tissue were estimated. Sixty ICR mice were randomly divided into normal, model, control, high, middle and low dose Xianxiong decoction groups and were modeled in the same way. ELISA was applied to detect the level of NF-kappaB, TNF-alpha and IL-6 in BALF, PCR for NF-kappaB and TNF-alpha mRNA in lung tissue, and Western blot for NF-kappaB and TNF-alpha. Half of 20 ICR mice were administrated with Xianxiong decoction of its maximum tolerant normal saline.

RESULTCompared with model group, the number of WBC in blood of Xianxiong decoction group mice decreased (P < 0.01), percentage of neutrophils in both blood and BALF decreased as well (P < 0.01, P < 0.05); it also significantly reduced the ratio of W/D (P < 0.01); and found the alveolar wall, the number of inflammatory cells infiltrating improved, compared with model group. Xianxiong decoction reduced the level of NF-kappaB, TNF-alpha and IL-6 in BALF (P < 0.01, P < 0.01, P < 0.05); its high and low dose groups only found TNF-alpha level declined. Five mice died 24 h after administration of Xianxiong decoction which indicated its toxicity when other influential factors were considered.

CONCLUSIONXianxiong decoction is effective on the ALI mice induced by LPS, but it is of toxicity at 3 g x mL(-1).

Three osmotolerant yeasts were isolated from three batches of "swollen can" soy sauce produced by a Guangdong condiment plant. These strains grew faster in the media containing 50%～60% glucose or 15% NaCl than in common yeast media. The three yeasts were identified as Pichia etchellsii by using morphological characteristics, physiological and biochemical tests.
