World Health Organization aims to develop safe, effective and practical traditional medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and other complementary and alternative medicine are being recognized in the whole world nowadays. However, the definite effect of Chinese medicine is still in need of scientific research proof. Placebo control is of equal importance to active control and blank control in clinical trial of TCM. This article briefly reviewed the importance of placebo control and commented on its present situation in clinical trial of TCM. This article also brought up the preliminary proposals of placebo application in TCM clinical trial. We should emphasize scientific placebo preparation and good design of placebo-controlled trial, which are directed by International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use. A good clinical trial project will avoid unnecessary wastes and provide safe and effective treatment for people.

Objective To observe the effect of Da Jianzhong Decoction on cerebral cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) mRNA and protein and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II(CaMKⅡ) mRNA in spleen-yang deficiency pain rats, so as to investigate the therapeutic mechanism of Da Jianzhong Decoction for spleen-yang deficiency pain. Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, and high-and low-dose Da Jianzhong Decoction groups(3, 0.75 g·kg-1·d-1), 10 in each group. Spleen deficiency rat model was established by comprehensive modeling methods. After the rats in various groups were given gastric administration of Chinese medicine for 15 continuous days, rat cervical dislocation was performed for the sampling of the brain tissue. The expression levels of COX-2 mRNA and CaMKⅡmRNA in brain tissue were detected by real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The COX-2 protein expression was determined by immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with the normal group, mRNA and protein expression levels of COX-2 in rat brain tissue of spleen-yang deficiency model group were increased(P﹤0.01), and CaMKⅡ mRNA expression was decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, COX-2 mRNA and protein expression levels were decreased(P<0.01) and CaMKⅡexpression was increased(P<0.01) in high-and low-dose Da Jianzhong Decoction groups(P<0.01). Conclusion Da Jianzhong Decoction can suppress cerebral COX-2 mRNA and protein expression, and up-regulate CaMKⅡmRNA expression, which probably contribute to its therapeutic mechanism for relieving the pain.

This article discusses the variation process of the sense of justice in western and traditional Chinese society,and its effect on regulatory ethics.Western regulatory ethics takes "making use of evil to restrain evil" as its regulatory principle,whose purpose is "to increase goodness by evil",while Chinese regulatory ethics employs "taking goodness in restraining evil" as its regulatory principle.The Chinese regulatory ethics puts morality in the first place,using morality to replace regulatory systems.The distinctions of cultures and the sense of justice between western and Chinese societies cause the different viewpoints in relevant systems and regulations.

The time-to-event index is a kind of common evaluation index. It measures the speed of intervention effect. It is different from other index in research design, source material filling, data checking and statistical analysis. To obtain the time-to-event index, investigators can fill in the table directly and statistical analyst can compute after clinical observation. When filling in the source material or data checking, it is should be noticed that the logical relation between the time-to-event index and the visiting point and between the time-to-event index and the correlative other indicator. When statistical analyzing, it is an important issue how to deal with the cases whose time-to-event index does not appear till the observation period ends. Understanding the difference clearly can make the time-to-event index evaluate the effect of the intervention truly and make the clinical observation results reliable.

Objective:To investigate the influence of positive emotion induced by audio sensory on cognitive control.Methods:In the study, participants were divided into two groups, one completed the task with music which could induce positive emotion named as positive emotion group, and the other done task without music named as non-music group.Then the reaction time(RTs) and accuracy in AX-CPT(AX-continuous performance test) task and AX-CPT modification task in the two groups were analyzed through repeated measurement variance using SPSS 18.0.Results:In AX-CPT task, RTs results showed that the main effect of time interval was significant ( F(1, 58)=98.68, P<0.001, η2=0.63). The RTs of participants with 3 000 ms was longer than that with 1 000 ms, and the main effect between groups was edge significant ( F(1, 58)=3.79, P=0.05, η2=0.06). The RTs of positive music group was longer than non-music group; and the interaction between time interval and music potency was significant ( F(1, 58)=9.69, P<0.01, η2=0.01). In BX, the interaction between time interval and music potency was also significant( F(1, 58)=12.11, P<0.01, η2=0.17). When the time interval was 3 000 ms, RTs in the positive music group increased than that in non-music group in BX under AX-CPT task( F(1, 58)=5.09, P<0.05). When the time interval was 1 000 ms, there was no significant difference in RTs between the two groups( F(1, 58)=0.01, P=0.97). However, RTs in the positive music group decreased in AY in AX-CPT modification task than that in non-music group( F(1, 53)=4.12, P<0.05). Conclusion:The interference of cue stimulation decreased in positive emotion induced by music and decreased proactive control, but not stable.Always, it is influenced by metal fatigue and task experience.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that methylation modification using CARM1-catalyzed histone H3R17/R26 can maintain the stemness of embryonic stem cel s. However, mechanism underlying CARM1 effect on the stemness of amniotic fluid-derived stem cel s is stil unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the function and underlying molecular mechanism of CARM1 to maintain stemness in the amniotic fluid-derived stem cel s.
METHODS:Amniotic fluid-derived stem cel s from term pregnancy were isolated and cultured. RT-PCR was used to identify the stem cel mark and CARM1 gene expression. CARM1 expression in amniotic fluid-derived stem cel s was knocked down by using two shRNA. RT-qPCR was used to detect the silencing efficiency, and western blot employed to examine the methylation level of Arginines 17 at N terminus of histone 3 (H3mR17). Moreover, the expression of embryonic stem cel markers, including OCT4, SOX2 and NANOG, were detected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Amniotic fluid-derived stem cel s from term pregnancy could express CARM1 and stem cel markers, including OCT4, SOX2, Nanog and KLF4. Both of the shRNAs could knock down the expression of CARM1 efficiently. When CARM1 was knocked down, the H3mR17 level was decreased and OCT4, SOX2 expression was also reduced, but NANOG expression had no change. Al these indicate that CARM1 is required for amniotic fluid-derived stem cel s to maintain stemness through regulating OCT4 and SOX2 expression.

Objective To investigate the effect of subretinal fluid (SRF) with different grades of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) on bcl-2 oncoprotein expression in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells and fibroblast (FB). Methods Using immunohistological staining technique and Western-blotting method to detect the expression of bcl-2 protein in RPE cells and FB under the stimulation of SRF. Results The expression levels of bcl-2 increased in both types of cells to a certain extent compared with those of the control group 4 hours after the cells subjected to SRF; 36 hours later, the expression levels of bcl-2 of experimental groups decreased more quickly than those of the control group,and the control group showed relatively higher bcl-2 protein levels at the end of observation. Conclusions SRF may stimulate the expression of bcl-2 in RPE cells and FB under culture at early stage, but accelarate the declining of bcl-2 protein levels a certain time after subjected to SRF.
