Traditional Chinese medicine culture contains the essence of Chinese traditional culture and provides inspiration and inexhaustible power for the construction of the socialist core value system.Great medical sincerity,harmony between man and nature,reconcile to harmony,people-oriented idea and other philosophical thoughts and ethical moralities are the common value orientation and inner requirement between traditional Chinese medicine culture and socialist core value system and also the foundation and direction for the peripheral extension of their connotation.In a particular sense,traditional Chinese medicine culture and socialist core value have the intersection of internal attributes.Promoting the interaction and internal harmony between the two will have important reference significance for contemporary culture,social construction and the development of Chinese medicine itself.

Objective To investigate the possible associations of two polymorphisms (5-HTTLPR and STin2VNTR)of the serotonin transporter gene with alcohol use disorders (AUD).Methods 281 AUD cases (AUDIT score≥ 10) and 277 healthy controls (AUDIT score ≤5) were recruited in this study.All participants were genotyped using the PCR technique.Results The frequency of the L-allele of the 5-HTTLPR was 39.01%,and the 10-allele of STin2VNTR was 8.42% in this population,the allele frequencies of both polymorphisms were consistent with Asian normal populations.No significant association was observed between 5-HTTLPR and AUD,but the genotypic and allele frequencies of the STin2VNTR were significant different between two groups even after Bonferroni adjustment,the 12 repeat allele of the STin2VNTR was significantly associated with the risk effect for AUD.Haplotype analysis for those two polymorphisms revealed no association between 4 haplotype combinations and AUD.Conclusion There is no relationship between 5-HTTLPR and AUD.The STin2VNTR polymorphism of 5-HTT may play a role in the pathogenesis of AUD.

There have been 20 years of history in the study of allergic rhinitis (AR) using a mice model.At present,the AR mice model still exists some problems in the selection of mice strains,allergens and adjuvant types,molding cycle,allergen dose,model judgment,and so on,which affects the authenticity and comparability of the research results.By gradually solving the problems existing in the mice AR model,it is of great significance to realize the standardization of AR model,and the depth of the AR research.
