2.Modern Medical Model and Unity of Contradictions of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2009;31(6):509-511
Cultures of traditional Chinese and Western medicine are the different ones of a same kind (medicine) but from the different sources. Their respective advantages, complement and unity are rooted in the differences of the two distinctive cultures. Preventive- biomedical - psychological -social behavior patterns of medicine is a unity of contradictions. Integration of what is different can generate the new while what is exactly the same can hardly be developed. A unity of contradictions of cognitive power is tending to a higher realm beyond both medicines.

Objective To establish a novel Monte Carlo simulation method for reconstruction of medical accelerator model and X?ray energy spectrum based on IAEA Varian 6 MV X?ray phase?space file and photon energy spectrum of the target accelerator. Methods The verified 6 MV X?ray phase?space files were preprocessed to elevate the energy of each particle. Particles were saved in different Phase?Space?Let ( PSL) files according to their position and energy, yielding an initial photon energy spectrum for Monte Carlo simulation of accelerator under an initial target energy. The initial photon energy spectrum was fit to a photon energy spectrum of an accelerator ( Elekta Precise 10 MV X?ray accelerator) under an unknown target energy to yield a fitting coefficient, which was the weight of each PSL. Finally, an accelerator model under an unknown target energy was reconstructed using the initial PSL files and the weight information. The percentage depth dose ( PDD) distribution was calculated in different square open fields. The effectiveness of this method was verified using one dimensional gamma passing rate. Results The peak position and overall distribution of the reconstructed 10 MV photon energy spectrum were in accordance with those of the verified 10 MV photon energy spectrum. The PDD calculated from the reconstructed 10 MV accelerator model agreed well with the measured PDD. The one?dimensional gamma passing rate was above 96%( 1%/1 mm, threshold=0%) . Conclusion The Monte Carlo reconstruction method proposed in this study is reliable, accurate, and effective.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of urinary kallidinogenase on the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury of rats.Methods Forty eight male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into four groups: sham operation group, model group,normal saline group andurinary kallidinogenase group.The middle cerebral artery occlusion reperfusion model was made by the suture method. After focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, the animals were neurologically assessed on a 5 point scale. The levels of Bcl-2 and Bax expression were measured by immunohistochemical and RT-PCR.Results In model and normal saline group, the expressions of positive Bcl-2 neurocytes and mRNA [(14.28±2.54)/HP, 0.551±0.068 and (16.54± 1.84)/HP, 0.585 ± 0.084] were significantly increased compared with the sham operation group [ (7.58 ± 0.97 )/HP、 0.324 ± 0.042] ( P < 0.05 ) ; The expressions of Bax positive neurocytes and mRNA[( 24.38 ± 3.58 )/HP, 0.540±0.076 and (26.74 ±4.04) /HP, 0.527 ± 0.065] were significantly increased than the sham operation group [ (8.24±1.95 )个/HP, 0.309 ± 0.037] (P <0.05). After treatment with urinary kallidinogenase, the expressions of Bcl-2 positive neurocytes and mRNA [(25.61±3.41)/HP, 0.791 ±0.096] were upregulated ( P<0.05), and the expressions of Bax positive neurocytes and mRNA [( 18.54 ± 2.38)/HP, 0.359±0.053] were down regulated (P<0.05), compared with model group and normal saline group.ConclusionsUrinary kallidinogenase is significantly related to the upregulation of Bcl-2 expression and the downregulation of Bax expression, which suggest that urinary kallidinogenase could be related with the inhibitory effects on ischemic neurocyte apoptosis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate whether programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expressed in the periodontal tissue of chronic periodontitis and the correlativity of PD-L1 and different degrees of chronic periodontitis, provide experience for immunoregulation mechanism, clinical treatment and prognosis of chronic periodontitis.
METHODSGingiva and periodontal tissue of healthy people and chronic periodontitis patients were collected. Based on clinical probing, periodontal tissue were classified into three groups: periodontal tissues of healthy people, periodontal tissue of mild chronic periodontitis, periodontal tissue of severe chronic periodontitis. Fluorescent quantitation polymerase chain reaction was applied to explore the expression of PD-L1 mRNA in the periodontal tissue of the different groups. Western blot and immunohistochemistry method were utilized to test the expression of PD-L1 protein in the periodontal tissue of the different groups. Combining with clinical image data, the relationship between differentially expressions of PD-L1 and different degrees of chronic periodontitis was analyzed.
RESULTSThe relative expression quantity of PD-L1 in the periodontal tissue of the mild chronic periodontitis was significantly higher that of the severe chronic periodontitis (P<0.01). The relative expression quantity of PD-L1 in the periodontal tissue of healthy subjects and severe chronic periodontitis had no statistical significance (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe expression of PD-L1 in the periodontal tissue negativelv regulates inflammatory periodontal tissue damage.
