Precision medicine is a medical model that proposes the individual therapy,with a joint medical method of genomics,proteomics,metabolomics and clinical big data tailored to the individual patient.The diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer have entered the model of precision medicine with the entering the era of precision medicine.In this article,authors summarized the recent progress of diagnosis and therapy under the guidance of precision medicine,with an aim to provide some new clues for surgeons and supports for precision prevention,diagnosis and therapy.

Muscle spasticity is one of the common complications in the paraplegic patients who suffer from spinal cord injury (SCI). Spasticity can result in limbs pain, joint contracture and malformation, then affects walking and the capability of keeping the posture in wheelchairs. Moreover, spasticity can increase the incidence rate of heterotopic ossification and fracture and seriously affects patients' daily life and rehabilitation therapy accordingly. There are many kinds of treatments aimed at spasticity at present, such as drug, exercise therapy, physiotherapy, nerve block treatment, operation treatment, and so on. However, single treatment doesn't achieve good effect. So it is common that many kinds of treatments are combined to treat spasticity. This article simply introduces the mechanism, symptom and evaluation of the muscle spasticity after SCI and discusses in full the treatment of the muscle spasticity by reviewing recent literatures.

Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significance of serum procalcitonin (PCT) level in children with acute phase of Kawasaki disease (KD). Methods The serum PCT levels and their changes before and after the treatment in 120 children with KD at acute phase were retrospectively analyzed. According to the results of ultrasonic echocardiography, all children were divided into coronary artery damage (CAL) group and no coronary artery lesion (NCAL) group. According to the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms, patients were divided into two groups (A: yes and B: no ). According to the presence of abnormal liver function, patients were divided into two groups (C:yes and D:no). PCT levels were compared between groups. Results The serum PCT levels were increased at acute phase in 56 (46.67%) patients before the treatment than those in normal children, which were decreased obviously after treatment (P<0.05). There were 31 cases combined with CAL, the rising rate of PCT was 38.71%, which was no significant difference compared with that of NCAL group (49.44%, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in serum PCT value between CAL group and NCAL group (P>0.05). The serum C-reactive protein level was significantly higher in CAL group than that of NCAL group. There were 35 patients combined with gastrointestinal symptoms in 120 KD patients. There was no significant difference in the rising rate of PCT between patients with gastrointestinal symptoms (62.86%) and patients without gastrointestinal symptoms (40.00%, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in serum PCT level between these two groups of patients. There were 42 cases with liver dyfunction in 120 KD patients, the PCT rising rate (52.38%) was no statistically significant difference compared with that of patients with no liver dyfunction (43.59%, P>0.05). And there was no significant difference in serum PCT value between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion PCT can reflect the acute phase of KD patients. The increased PCT level may be related with the emergence of gastrointestinal symptoms, even though it cannot predict CAL and the occurrence of liver damage.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of ethyl acetate fraction of Blumea balsamifera (BBE) residue on treating rats of adjuvant arthritis (AA) and its mechanism.

METHODThe rats were immunized with the Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA). After modeling, 28 days' treatment with BBE was performed. During the experimental process, rat mass, toe girth, arthritic index (AI), proliferation of immune organs and pathological section were measured. After treatment, blood samples were collected through fossa orbitalis vein for detection of serum SOD, MDA, GSH, NO, OH*, ALP, AST, ALT, NAG and SA content using colorimetric method and IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α content using ELISA method.

RESULTAdministration with BBE (high dose) could significantly ameliorate joint swelling and arthritis index, effectively inhibit synovial hyperplasia, down-regulate the levels of MDA, NO, OH*, ALP, AST, ALT, NAG, SA, IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α and up-regulate the SOD and GSH levels in serum.

CONCLUSIONThe results suggested BBE possesses substantial anti-arthritis and antioxidant activities.

All previous literatures about Chinese herbal medicines show distinctive traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) flavors. Compendium of Materia Medica is an influential book in TCM history. The TCM flavor theory and flavor standardization principle in this book has important significance for modern TCM flavor standardization. Compendium of Materia Medica pays attention to the flavor theory, explain the relations between the flavor of medicine and its therapeutic effects by means of Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming Dynasties. However,the book has not reflected and further developed the systemic theory, which originated in the Jin and Yuan dynasty. In Compendium of Materia Medica , flavor are standardized just by tasting medicines, instead of deducing flavors. Therefore, medicine tasting should be adopted as the major method to standardize the flavor of medicine.

Objective To assess the possible sequestration of remifentanil by the extracorporeal circuit.Methods Two types of extracorporeal circuits (ECCs) were used-Xijian type I (group A)and AFFINITY(R) NT(group B),while in control group (group C) a glass container was used.The ECC and glass container were filled with priming solution (6%hydroxyethyl starch 1000 ml + lactated Ringer's solution 500 ml).Remifentanil Wag then added to the priming solution with the final concentration of 100 ng/ml.The priming solution was circulated in the closed ECC or stirred the glass container.The concentration of remifentanil in the priming solution was determined at 2,5,10 and 15 min after addition of remifentanil.Results The remifentanil concentration in the priming solution decreased by 75.1%,57.9% and 18.3%at 2 min after addition of the drug in group A,B and C respectively as compared with the baseline value.The remifentanil absorption by ECC was significantly greater in group A than in group B.There was no significant difference in remifentanil concentration at the 4 time points in each group.Conclusion ECC can absorb remifentanil.The remifentanil absorption by Xijian type I is significantly greater than that by AFFINITY(R).
