Fu-Zheng Pei-Ben therapy, as a major therapeutic principle, has become the main guiding thought of cancer therapy currently. Through the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) history, Fu-Zheng Pei-Ben thera-py is one of the most important therapies . As early as the Spring and Autumn Period , the importance of vital qi has been recorded in the Huang-Di Nei-Jing. After that, TCM doctors have enriched the connotation and extension of the Fu-Zhe ng therapy . Until modern times , Professor Liu Jiaxiang applied Fu-Zhe ng therapy to the treatment of cancer . This paper explained the sources of Fu-Zhe ng cancer therapy through the analy-sis of its history in order to provide a reference to deepen the theoretical studies in the diagnosis and treat-ment of cancer in the future .

BACKGROUND:Al oying is a convenient and effective method to alter the microstructure and control the corrosion behavior of magnesium al oy.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the in vitro and in vivo degradation of Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr al oy as a degradable medical biomaterial.
METHODS:(1) In vitro static immersion test:The immersion tests were carried out at (37.0±0.5) thermostatic bath. Six Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr al oy samples and six pure magnesium samples were immersed in the 250 mL simulated body fluid and vibrated without agitation during immersion. After 3, 7 and 30 days static immersion, the samples were taken out from the simulated body fluid. Then the in vitro corrosion properties were evaluated using scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer analysis. (2) In vivo animal experiment:After bone tunnel was established in the left femur of adult New Zealand rabbits, the Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr al oy rods were embedded in the Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr al oy group, titanium al oy rods were embedded in the titanium al oy group, and only bone tunnel was established in the sham-operated group. At 1, 2, 4, 8 weeks after implantation, an X-ray of the implanted region was taken to determine the location and the degradation behavior℃in a of Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr al oy. At 4, 8 weeks after implantation, the corrosion product and its element composition were observed using scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive spectroscopy system.

Objective To investigate the effect of persistent hypoglycemia on the cerebral oxidative stress and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity of newborn rats and to explore the potential mechanism of hypoglycemia-induced brain injury of newborn.MethodsSeven-day-old rats were injected insulin subcutaneously to induce persistent hypoglycemia.Cerebral cortex,hippocampus and thalamus were collected after 36 hours' observation and stored in -80 ℃.Glutathione (GSH)and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) were detected by commercial kit and GSSG/GSH was calculated.MMP-2 activity was detected by gelatin zymography. The data were analyzed by t test,one or two-wayanalysis of variance and Pearson correlation analysis.Six rats were set as the normal glucose group. ResultsThirty-six hours after induction of hypoglycemia, the cerebral GSSG and GSSG/GSH of hypoglycemic pups elevated about 1.5 times higher than those of control group [GSSG:(15.89 ± 5.46) vs (6.15 ± 3.42) mg/g protein,t =3.704,P =0.004; GSSG/GSH:(5.58± 1.79) ％ vs (2.79±1.76) ％,t =2.712,P=0.022].The GSSG and GSSG/GSH in thalamus of hypoglycemia were significantly higher than those of control [GSSG:(15.93 ± 5.75) mg/g protein vs (5.03±5.14)mg/g protein,P＜0.05; GSSG/GSH:(6.50±3.25) ％ vs (2.41±3.12) ％,P＜0.05],whereas there were no significant differences in the cortex ard hippocampus.The total MMP-2 activity of hypoglycemic animals (2.22±0.59) was significantly higher than that of control (1.21± 0.17)(t=4.064,P=0.002),and significant differences were found between the two groups in cortex (2.14 ± 0.5 vs 1.17± 0.27),hippocampus (2.31± 0.72 vs 1.22 ± 0.37) and thalamus (2.22±0.68 vs 1.24±0.18) with all P＜0.01].The activity of MMP-2 was positively related to GSSG (r=0.575,P=0.0002) and GSSG/GSH (r=0.484,P=0.0003).ConclusionsOxidative stress might play an important role in the persistent hypoglycemia induced brain injury of 7-day-old rat pups and thalamus might be most vulnerable to hypoglycemia.Hypoglycemia might also elevate MMP-2 activity which is positively related to GSSG level and GSSG/GSH of the brain.

Objective To establish a reference range of cancellous bone ultrasonic backscatter coefficient (BSC) in term neonates,and to determine the significance of BSC in bone nutritional status in term newborns and infants.Methods Six hundred and sixty-five term newborns,who were born in Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital from July 2014 to August 2014,were enrolled.On the third day and the 42nd day after birth,all infants underwent ultrasonic measurement of the calcaneum bone using a broadband-non-focus ultrasonic transducer at three frequencies (2.25,3.5 and 5 MHz).MATLAB software was used to analyze the backscatter signals.Clinical data of the infants,including gestational age,birth weight and birth age,were recorded at the same time.Statistical analyses of the data included variance analysis,Tukey's test,rank sum test,Dunn test and Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis.Results (1) Of the 665 infants,335 were male.The mean gestational age at birth was (38.0± 1.9) weeks,and the mean birth weight was (3 1524±226) g.(2) On the third day,there were significant differences in BSC values acquired at 2.25 and 3.5 MHz among the groups with different gestational ages or birth weights (2.25 MHz:H=9.842 and 17.271;3.5 MHz:H=6.275 and 21.450,respectively,all P＜0.05).At 3.5 and 2.25 MHz,BSC values were positively correlated with gestational age (r=0.047 and 0.035,respectively,both P＜0.05) and birth weight (r=0.125 and 0.186,both P＜0.05).(3) On the 42nd day,significant differences in BSC were observed at each frequency among the groups with different gestational ages or birth weights (gestational age:H=76.832,16.498 and 32.756;birth weight:H=70.014,18.095 and 34.126;all P＜0.01).Gestational age and birth weight were positively correlated with BSC value acquired at each frequency (r=0.397,0.286 and 0.272 for gestational age,0.451,0.223 and 0.196 for birth weight;all P＜0.01).Conclusions A preliminary BSC reference percentile in term-born infants is established.There are positive correlations between BSC value and newborn gestational age and birth weight at certain frequencies,which can reflect the status of the newborn's cancellous bone.Determination of BSC value should be performed during the follow-up period to assess the nutritional status of neonatal bone.

Objective:To investigate the effect of different delivery and feeding modes on intestinal microflora in infants with atopic dermatitis (AD) .Methods:A total of 33 infants with AD were enrolled from Department of Dermatology, Wuhan NO.1 Hospital from July 2019 to December 2020, and 30 healthy infants were selected as control group. Then, all infants were grouped according to different delivery and feeding modes: cesarean-delivery AD group (22 cases) , cesarean-delivery control group (19 cases) , spontaneous-delivery AD group (11 cases) , and spontaneous-delivery control group (11 cases) ; mixed-feeding AD group (13 cases) , mixed-feeding control group (11 cases) , formula milk powder-feeding AD group (12 cases) , formula milk powder-feeding control group (11 cases) , breastfeeding AD group (8 cases) , and breastfeeding control group (12 cases) . The total DNA was extracted from the infant feces, PCR was performed to amplify the V1 - V9 regions of bacterial 16S rRNA gene, and PacBio Sequel sequencer was used for high-throughput sequencing. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare the bacterial community composition at genus and species levels, and correlations of relative abundance of differentially abundant bacterial taxa with eosinophil counts and SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) scores were analyzed.Results:In the spontaneous-delivery control group, cesarean-delivery control group, spontaneous-delivery AD group, and cesarean-delivery AD group, the top 5 bacterial genera with high relative abundance were Bifidobacterium, Bacteroides, Veillonella, Streptococcus, and Escherichia. In the formula milk powder-feeding control group, breastfeeding control group, mixed-feeding control group, formula milk powder-feeding AD group, breastfeeding AD group, and mixed-feeding AD group, the top 5 abundant bacterial genera were Bifidobacterium, Bacteroides, Clostridium, Veillonella, and Escherichia. Linear discriminant analysis of effect size (LEfSe) showed no significant difference in the relative abundance of bacterial taxa among different delivery mode groups; among different feeding mode groups, Akkermansia and Akkermansiamuciniphila were the most differentially abundant microbes in the formula milk powder-feeding AD group at genus (LDA = 4.78) and species (LDA = 4.91) levels, respectively. The relative abundance of Akkermansia and Akkermansiamuciniphila (both 9.6% ± 0.72%) was significantly higher in the formula milk powder-feeding AD group than in the formula milk powder-feeding control group (both 2.50% ± 0.83%, Z = 1.66, P = 0.048) , the mixed-feeding AD group (both 0, Z = 2.26, P = 0.012) and the breastfeeding AD group (both 0, Z = 1.85, P = 0.032) . Additionally, the relative abundance of Akkermansia and Akkermansia- muciniphila was positively correlated with SCORAD scores in AD patients ( ρ = 0.384, 0.387, respectively, both P < 0.05) . Conclusion:Different delivery modes did not significantly affect the intestinal flora of AD or healthy infants, and the relative abundance of Akkermansia and Akkermansiamuciniphila increased in the formula milk powder-feeding infants with AD, which may be involved in the occurrence of AD.

Objective:To investigate the turnover intention and its influencing factors in rural general practitioners in southwest Shandong province.Methods:In May 2020, a survey with self-designed questionnaire was conducted among 2 805 rural general practitioners in southwest Shandong province selected by multi-stage sampling method. Pearson chi square test (χ2) and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the factors influencing the turnover intention of rural general practitioners.Results:A total of 2 805 questionnaires were sent out, 2 693 were collected and 2 272 were valid, with an effective rate of 84.4%. Among 2 272 participants, 1 076 (47.4%) had medium to high level turnover intention. Binary logistic regression showed that part-time job ( OR=1.443, 95% CI: 1.105-1.884, P<0.01), average monthly night shifts ≥20 times ( OR=1.340, 95% CI: 1.106-1.623, P<0.01), daily working time ≥13 hours ( OR=1.358, 95% CI: 1.107-1.666, P<0.01), insomnia ( OR=2.075, 95% CI: 1.755-2.454, P<0.01), feeling depressed at work ( OR=2.987, 95% CI: 2.516-3.546, P<0.01), degree of emotional exhaustion ( OR=3.801, 95% CI: 3.188-4.533, P<0.01) and degree of de-personalization tendencies ( OR=2.493, 95% CI: 2.086-2.981, P<0.01) were the significant factors influencing the turnover intention of rural general practitioners. Conclusions:Rural general practitioners in southwest Shandong have a high-level turnover intention, part-time jobs, average number of night shift per month, working time, insomnia, depression and job burnout are the main factors affecting the turnover intention. Necessary measures should be taken by relevant departments to enhance the stability of rural general practitioners.
