This paper collected the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescriptions of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis from CNKI to set up database and used TCM inheritance system to analyze the composing principles in prescriptions. We collected 103 and 106 prescriptions for osteoporosis and osteoarthritis respectively, then analyzed inherent principles between herbs in prescriptions by using the TCM inheritance system, and obtained the frequency of each herb, and drug combinations of two diseases' prescriptions. The result showed that the principles in TCM prescriptions of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are similarities, buch as tonifying kidney and invigorating the circulation of blood, but differences of the specific drugs. That is to say, tonifying kidney is the main method of osteoporosis treatment, however, invigorating the circulation of blood is the main method of osteoarthritis treatment.

OBJECTIVETo explore protective effects of acupuncture at "Zusanli" (ST 36) on cerebral tissue in rats with sepsis.

METHODSCecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was applied to duplicate the rat model of sepsis. According to random number table, thirty SD rats were divided into a sepsis model group (group A), a sepsis model plus electroacupuncture (EA) group (group B), and a sepsis model plus non-acupoint EA group (group C), ten rats in each one. EA with the same frequency and intensity at "Zusanli" (ST 36) and non-acupoint (0.5 cm laterally to "Zusanli") for 30 min was applied in the group B and group C, respectively. No treatment was given in the goup A. 6 hours after CLP, blood was acquired from abdominal aorta to measure the levels of neuron specific enolase (NSE). Then the rats were sacrificed by abdominal aorta exsanguination to take their cerebral tissue for measuring the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6).

RESULTSSix hours after CLP, the level of NSE was (3.51 +/- 0.39) ng/mL in group B, which was significantly lower than (7.72 +/- 0.64) ng/mL in group A (P<0.05). The level of NSE was (8.02 +/- 0.72) ng/mL in the group C, which had no statistical significance with group A (P>0.05). The levels of TNF-alpha, IL-6 in cerebral tissue in group B were significantly lower than that of group A and C (all P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONEA at "Zusanli" (ST 36) has certain protective effect on septic rat's brain, which has some relationship with decreasing levels of cerebral tissue proinflammatory cytokine and plasma NSE. EA at non-acupoint has no the same action.

Objective To compare bispectral index (BIS) with narcotrend index (NI) during propofol-remifentanil anesthesia administered by target-controlled infusion (TCI).Methods Ten ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ pafients aged 18-56 yr weighing 52-67kg undergoing abdominal surgery lasting>1h were included in this study.BIS and NI were monitored simultaneously.Anesthesia was induced with TCI of propofol with target plasma concentration (Cp) of 3～4μg/ml and remifentanil (Cp 3-4ng/ml).Tracheal intubation was facilitated with cis-atracurium 0.3 mg/kg.The patients were mechanically ventilated.PETCO2 was maintained between 30-35 mm Hg.Anesthesia was maintained with TCI of propofol and remifentanil by the anesthesiologist bhnded to BIS and NI values.according to hemedynamic parameters.BIS and narcotrend values were recorded every minute and compared by another anesthesiologist.All data were compared by Bland-Altman analysis and with Kappa coefficient for agreement.The correlation between BIS and NI was tested by Spearman correlation analysis.The number of error ofjudgement (Type Ⅰ was defined as BIS<40 and NI>62;Type Ⅱ was defined as BIS>60 and NI<20)Was counted.Results The correlation and agreement between BIS and NI during maintenance of propofol-remifentanil anesthesia administered by TCI showed good consistency.Conclusion Both NI and BIS Can help anesthesiologist control the depth of anesthesia during TCI of propofol-remifentanil.

By literature survey searching references and parsing prescriptions, the auther has analyze the clinical advantage of Miao medicine in the treatment of symptom heat stranguria. Guizhou Miao medicine Polygonum capitatum has many advantages such as resources and clinical. After companying with Phellodendri Cortex, the compound prescription plays the pharmacological activity of antipyretic and diuretic, especially for the symptom heat stranguria, damp and hot junction based in the bladder. Miao medicine Kelintong capsule showed clinical advantage in the treatment of symptom heat stranguria, having a clinical advantage in improving the overall effectiveness and improve the overall aspects of the patient's symptoms.
