Syndromes constitute a core aspect in the study of Chinese medicine, and research on the concept of syndromes is important to the study of the process of modernization of traditional Chinese medicine. However, it is somewhat challenging to define a syndrome due to the complexity inherent in the subject, even with the assistance of the reductionism approach of modern medicine. Holistic and dynamic in nature and attaching much importance to functional changes, the newly emerging metabonomics is in many ways inline with the concepts of syndrome differentiation of pathological states in traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, metabonomics has comparatively strong advantages in the very respect of revealing the natural laws of syndrome differentiation. By reviewing and analyzing the current research on the concept of syndromes and the application of metabonomic technology to exploring the essential core of syndrome differentiation, the authors illustrated the potential commonalities. This would also show the issues requiring attention between the study of syndromes and the metabonomic technology. In the meantime this study reflected the core problems in detail and put forward suggestions with regard to reaching solutions.

Objective To investigate the effects of GDNF-modified Schwann cells on the repair of sciatic nerve defects in rats. Methods Forty adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: group A (nerve grafts, fabricated by extracellular gel and PLGA conduits, n=10), group B (Schwann cells and extracellular gel and PLGA conduits, n=10), group C (GDNF-modified Schwann cells and extracellular gel and PLGA conduits, n=10), and group D (autograft, n=10). Motoneuron conduction and morphology (including anatomical measures and ultrastructure) of the regenerated axons were investigated at 12 weeks postoperatively. Regeneration rate of the motoneuron in spinal cord was also evaluated by using HRP label technique. Results Higher rate of nerve regeneration or number of labeled motoneurons in spinal cord was observed using PLGA conduits seeded with GDNF enhanced expressing Schwann cells (group C) than that with PLGA conduits (group A) alone or PLGA conduits seeded with control Schwann cells (group B), but there was no significant difference as compared with that in the autograft group (group D). Conclusion These results suggest that using gene transfer techniques to increase neurotrophic factor expression in Schwann cells added to nerve grafts may be a promising method for improving nerve regeneration.

AIM: To compare the difference of A-scan and lOL Master in intraocular lens power measurement.
●METHODS:Two hundred and twenty-six patients (230 eyes) with age-related cataract were included in the study. Before surgery, axial length was measured by A-scan and lOL Master respectively and corneal curvature was measured by auto refractometer. lntraocular lens power was calculated according to the SRK-T formula. Corneal curvature was measured by auto refractometer and the refractive outcome was performed by phoropter three months after cataract surgery.
●RESULTS:The mean axial length was (23. 48 ± 1. 94) mm measured by A-scan and (23. 75±1. 96) mm measured by lOL Master. There was significant difference between them ( P < 0. 05 ). After random grouping, the preoperative and postoperative mean corneal curvature in A-scan group was (43. 94±1. 81) D and (43. 98±1. 87) D respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between them (P>0. 05). And the results were (44. 10 ± 1. 57 ) D and ( 44. 11 ± 1. 58 ) D in lOL Master group. There was no significant difference between them (P>0. 05); The mean absolute refractive error (MAE) in A-scan group was ( 0. 47 ± 0. 27 ) D and in lOL Master group (0. 41±0. 19) D. The difference was significant (P<0. 05).
●CONCLUSION: lOL Master is proved to be slightly more accurate than A-scan for lOL power calculation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate antibiotic resistance and the prevalence of serotype of Streptococcus pneumoniae in Wuhan.METHODS Totally 152 strains of S.pneumoniae were collected to test the MICs of various antibiotics by agar dilution method according to the approved standard of NCCLS.Serotyping of S.pneumoniae was performed by using quelling reaction.RESULTS Among 152 strains of S.pneumoniae,65(42.76%) strains were resistant to penicillin(MIC≥0.12mg/L).94.08%,50.66%,41.45% and 11.18% of S.pneumoniae were resistant against the first(cefalexin),second(cefaclor) and third(cefaxime and ceftriaxone) generation of cephalosporins respectively.The resistance rates to other antibiotic agents,such as erythromycin,tetracycline,trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and chloramphenicol,were 84.21%,88.82%,89.47% and 18.42%,respectively.Strains that were resistant to levofloxacin and moxifloxacin were found both for 1.32%.Twenty serotypes were involved in 152 strains. The prevalent serotypes were 19(25.66%),23(19.08%),6(13.82%),15(7.24%)and 14(4.61%).Eight strains were remained for unable to serotype.All penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae was included in serotypes 6,19 and 23.CONCLUSIONS The antibiotic resistance of S.pneumoniae is serious in Wuhan.Most of them are multi-resistant strains.Except for fluoroquinolones,ceftriaxone and chloramphenicol, most antibiotic agents have lost there activities against S.pneumoniae.The prevalent serotypes,especially of the multi-resistant strains,were 19,23 and 6.Pneumococcal polyvalent vaccine can well cover these serotypes.
