Results 168 (81.55%) doctors’ degrees were technical secondary school degree and college degree;186 (90.29%) doctors’ professional titles were physician assistant and physician;The awareness rate of TCM knowledge was 63.83%;Different study backgrounds of doctors had different effects on the rate of TCM knowledge (χ2=42.42, P=0.01). The using rates of TCM appropriate techniques were all lower than 30%. 96.60%of doctors in health clinics in towns and townships hope to learn one or more TCM appropriate techniques to help diagnose and treat disease. Conclusion The degree, professional title, mastery of TCM knowledge, and TCM appropriate techniques were not optimistic. The doctors in health clinics in towns and townships showed strong desire for TCM appropriate techniques. The health department should combine the actual situation of doctors in health clinics in towns and townships and develop targeted TCM continuing education.
2.Mechanism of CCL2/MCP-1 in its relevant diseases
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2016;32(12):1634-1638
Chemokine is a small protein which plays an impor-tant role in men's physiological function.It has chemotactic ac-tivity and is often secreted by immune cells and glial cells like microglia or astrocytes.Through the effect of chemokine recep-tors on target cells,various immune cells can achieve directional migration and play an important role in the diseases related with immunity and inflammation.CCL2,also known as monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1 ),is one member of chemokine CC subfamily (βsubfamily).It can chemokine monocytes, macrophages and T lymphocytes to affect their phagocytosis func-tion and produce antibodies to combat invading microorganisms. In recent years,it has been found that CCL2 plays a key role in the occurrence and development of the problems concerning cen-tral nervous system and immune system as well as cancer, AIDS,leukemia,diabetes and other diseases.This thesis is to give an elaboration on the latest research on CCL2 and the rele-vant diseases.

Objective To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture plus early rehabilitation training on the function recovery after surgery for cervical spinal cord injury. Methods Sixty patients with cervical spinal cord injury undergone anterior cervical decompression and internal fixation were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by electroacupuncture plus rehabilitation training, while the control group was by rehabilitation training alone. The Frankel’s grading (FG), Barthel Index (BI), and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) were adopted for evaluation before and after intervention. Results The FG was not significantly changed after intervention in both groups (P>0.05). After intervention, there was no significant difference in comparing FG between the two groups (P>0.05). The BI and FIM scores were significantly changed after intervention in both groups (P<0.01). There were significant differences in comparing BI and FIM scores between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture plus early rehabilitation training can promote the function recovery after surgery for cervical spinal cord injury, and improve the quality of life.
8.Advances in arrested late lung development and bronchopulmonary dysplasia
International Journal of Pediatrics 2015;42(6):615-618
The process of late lung development is disturbed in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).One of the keys in late lung development is secondary septation, in which secondary septa arise from primary septa, producing plenty of small alveoli, which significantly increase the surface area of gas exchange.Secondary septation,together with architectural changes to the vascular structure of the lung which minimize the distance between the blood and the inspired air, are the targets of late lung development.BPD is a disease of premature infants in which development of the alveoli is stunted caused by many factors including volutrauma,inflammation,and oxygen toxicity.Compared with early lung development, the later development of the immature lung remains unclear.This paper is to emphasize remarkable latest research of arrested late lung development and BPD.
