Establishment of combination of disease and syndrome animal model is an ideal technology platform in TCM research. Currently, many scholars have prepared matching IBS animal models combined typical animal models with etiology, which em-bodies the advantages of syndrome differentiation and promotes the development of combination disease and syndrome animal model. Even though, there still exists some problems about sub-jective evaluation on syndromes, paying more attention on dis-ease and less on syndromes. Therefore, we should deepen the pathogenesis of diseases and TCM syndromes research on animal model replication and improve the method of construction of combination of disease and syndrome animal model through the biological research of combination of disease and syndrome sys-tem. By this way, the idea of preparation animal models will be more mature and the scientific connotation of TCM will be pres-ented more exactly.

AIM: To compare the difference in serum prolactin levels and the concentrations of anti-infective factors of human colostrums between normal labor and cesarean section. METHODS: The serum prolactin levels were measured at 48 h, 96 h after parturition in 100 cases of normal labor and cesarean using radioimmunoassay. Furthermore, the levels of SIgA, IgG, IgM, C 3, C 4 were tested in 100 cases at the same time using the technique of immuno-turbidimetry. RESULTS: The serum prolactin levels in normal labor tested at 48 h after parturition were significantly different with that of the cesarean section group. But there was no significant difference in serum prolatin levels 96 h after parturition between the two groups. The levels of SIgA,IgG,IgM,C 3 and C 4 of the colostrum in the cesarean group were higher significantly than those of the normal group at 48 h after parturition. ( P

Objective To investigate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of ERCC1 and survival rate in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with platinum based chemotherapy.Methods A total of 204 patients with advanced NSCLC were routinely treated by platinbased chemotherapy.The polymorphic genotypes were analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS nethod using DNA samples isolated from peripheral blood before treatment.Besides,5 ％ samples werc extracted randomly for sequencing to test the accuracy of this method.To explored the association between SNP of ERCC1 (118) and prognosis to platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients.Results Among 204 patients,61 achieved partial response,116 achieved stable response,and 27 achieved progressive disease.The overall response rate was 29.9 ％ (61/204).The effective rates of patients with the ERCC1 (118) C/C genotype,C/T + T/T genotype were 24.0 ％ (29/121) and 38.6 ％ (32/83),respectively,with significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The response rate of ERCC1 (118) C/T allele carriers was 1.992-fold than that of C/C allele carriers (95 ％ confidence interval:1.083-3.650,P =0.025).MST,1-year survival and 2-year survival rates of patients with the ERCC1 (118) C/C genotype,C/T + T/T genotype were 9.0 months,34.7 ％ (42/121) and 4.1％ (5/121) vs 12.0 months,60.2 ％ (50/83) and 12.0 ％ (10/83),respectively,with significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Polymorphisms of ERCC1 might be associated with overall survival period in patients with advanced NSCLC after treatment with platin-based chemotherapy,which might be the predictive markers for overall survival.

Objective To evaluate the genetic factors for sporadic Alzheimer's disease(SAD) among a Chinese population in Beijing. Gene polymorphisms was studied: apolipoprotein E,ps-1 gene E318G missense mutation,alpha(2)-macroglobulin gene Val1000/Ile1000,mtDNA4336G mutation and methylene tetrahydro-fulek reduclase (MTHFR) C677T mutation. Methods The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP)technique was used to analyze the genotype of 127 SAD patients and 138 non-dementia elderly controls. Results There was a significant difference in the frequency of apoE allele gene between SAD and control group. The freguencies with 2 of apoE4 ,1 of apoE4 and none of apoE4 in SAD were 2.4%,18.1%,79.5% respectively,and in normal control were 0.7%,10.1%,89.2% respectively. mtDNA4336 mutation and ps-1 E318G missense mutation were not found in either Alzheimer's disease or age-matched controls. The frequency of A2M Val1000 (GTC)/Ile1000 (ATC),G/G genetype was 0.02 in SAD and 0.01 in NC . The frequency of MTHFR C677T mutation was 46.3% in SAD and 43.8% in NC respectively, The mutation frequency of cases was not significantly increased than that of controls. Conclusions Our study indicates that apoE?4 allele gene is risk factor for SAD.

Objective To observe the relationship of right internal jugular vein (RIJV)and common carotid artery (CAA)by scanning strictly from the anterior to posterior using ultrasound at different head rotation.Methods Using ultrasonic scanning,the anatomic features of RIJV and CAA both at thyroid cartilage level (prominentia laryngea level)and at the apex of the angle formed by the division of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (triangle level)with 0°,1 5°,30° and 45° right rotation were observed in 131 patients with ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ (male 55 cases,female 76 cases, aged 18~74 years).Based on the ultrasound images,the safe puncture range,the overlapping ratio, the angle between the horizontal axis and the line from the midpoint of RIJV to that of CAA (αangle) were measured.In addition,the relationship between the RIJV and CAA was defined as anterior-lat-eral, lateral, posterior-lateral or extremely-posterior-lateral position according to α angle. Results The safe puncture range of RIJV augmented as head rotated from 0° to 30° position(P <0.05);The safe puncture range of RIJV at triangle level was significantly higher than at prominentia laryngea level at all the four head positions(P <0.05).The overlapping degree decreased as head rota-ted from 0°to 30°head position at prominentia laryngea level(P <0.05).No siginificant differences of the overlapping degree were found between head positons at triangle level;The overlapping degree at triangle level was less than at prominentia laryngea level when at 0°and 1 5°head positon(P <0.05). At both prominentia laryngea and triangle levels,RIJV located mainly at lateral and posterior-lateral positions.In addition,the part of lateral position increased while the part of posterior-lateral position decreased as the head rotated from 0°to 45°position(P <0.05).Conclusion The puncture conditions for RIJV catheterization were more optimal at 30°to 45°head rotation for a safer puncture range and less overlapping between RIJV and CAA.RIJV located mainly at lateral and posterior-lateral positions at different rotations and RIJV gradually shifted to lateral position while head rotation increasing.It would be much better to select triangle level for central venous catheterization than prominentia laryn-gea level.
