Professor LI Zhi-dao, according to acupoint selection of syndrome differentiation in TCM basic theory, concluded a new therapy, namely "tonifying three qi" that is mainly based on three acupoints in the Conception Vessel. This method is consisted of Danzhong (CV 17), Zhongwan (CV 12) and Qihai (CV 6) in the Conception Vessel, which could successively nourish clear qi, stomach qi and original qi. In clinic, according to the severity of symptoms of three qi, the acupoints are selected flexibly, which could respectively treat deficiency of heart-lung qi, deficiency of stomach-spleen qi and deficiency of original qi. Some examples are also given in the article.

As the major commercial source of natural rubber,Hevea brasiliensis attracts much attention.However,the heterozygous nature,long breeding cycle are strong limitations for conventional breeding.While genetic engineering,which can be used to widen the germplasm base and produce desirable agronomic traits quickly and efficiently,offers a viable alternative approach to complement traditional breeding.Comprehensive analysis indicates that in the past two decades,with calli derived from immature anther or integumental tissues of immature fruit as receptors,both biolistic and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation methods were employed for developping rubber genotypes with improved latex yield,tolerance to tapping panel dryness syndrome,producing high-value recombinant proteins,etc.Being recalcitrant to tissue culture,the transformation efficiency of Hevea is comparatively low,and the procedures are still needed to optimize.Finally,breeding objectives and strategies to improve transformation efficiency were also proposed in the review.

Objective To study the difference of body weight gain in the first and second trimesters between pregnant women with abnormal gestational glucose metabolism and those with normal gestational glucose metabolism.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of pregnant women visited the obstetric clinic of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2010 to May 2011,with or without abnormal glucose metabolism.The data of body weight gain in the first and second trimesters,body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy,BMI in the end of second trimester,age,obesity history,diabetes family history,insulin level in the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT),and lipid profile of these women were collected.Results Altogether 216 pregnant women with abnormal glucose metabolism (case group) and 230 pregnant women with normal glucose metabolism (control group) were included in this study.In the case group,the increment of body weight in the first and second trimesters was 10.0 (8.1,12.5) kg,and the increment of BMI was (4.01 ± 1.43) kg/m2,BMI in the end of the second trimester was (25.84 ± 3.14) kg/m2;in comparison,the increments of body weight and BMI in the first and second trimesters were 9.5 (7.0,11.5) kg and (3.60 ± 1.43) kg/m2,respectively,BMI in the end of the second trimester was (25.1 ± 3.00) kg/m2 in the control group,all significantly lower than in the case group (all P ＜ 0.05).The BMI before pregnancy was higher in the case group than in the control group [(21.84 ±2.99) kg/m2 vs.(21.50 ±2.82) kg/m2],but with no statistical significance (P＞0.05).Compare with the control group,the case group had older age [(33.17 ±3.65) years vs.(31.68±3.36) years],higher fasting insulin level [11.2 (7.1,16.3) mU/Lvs.8.9 (6.5,13.7) mU/L],higher peak insulin level in OGTT [135.3 (99.7,208.0) mU/L vs.104.9 (75.6,144.4) mU/L],higher homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) [2.40 (1.49,3.47) vs.1.82 (1.28,2.71)],and triglyceride [2.62 (2.04,3.31) mmol/L vs.2.18 (1.81,2.81) mmol/L],all with significant differences (all P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences in obesity history,family history of diabetes and history of menstrual disorder between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The body weight gain is higher in the pregnant women with abnormal glucose metabolism than in those with normal glucose metabolism in the first and second trimesters.Large increment of body weight is likely to be a risk factor for abnormal gestational glucose metabolism.

Twenty adult male rats, weighing 200～300 g were divided into 3 groups: (1) Six. animals were stimulated through two electrodes fixed on the tail to produce somatic pain.(2) Six animals were stimulated by increasing pressure in the stomach through an air balloon to cause visceral pain. And 8 animals served as control.All the animals were sacrificed and their neurohypophysis were fixed in 4％ glutaraldehyde and 1％ OsO_4 successively. Their section were cut with an LKB microtome and observed under H 500 electron microscope.The experimental results summarized as follows:1. The bodies of pituicytes under the pain stimulation were hypertrophied. The rough endoplasmic reticulum, polyribosomes and mitochondria were increased. The Golgi complex was well developed. There were numerous elliptical vesicles appearing in the cytoplasm of pituicytes.2. The number of large lipid masses was increased while the processes of pituicytes engulfed the degenerative neurosecretory terminal into them and the pituicyte digted it finally.3. Neurosecretory granules were decreased but the synaptic small vesicles were increased in the dilated parts of neurosecretory fibers after the pain stimulation.4. The continuous network of perivascular space and interstitial space between the dilated parts of neurosecretory fibers were widened.

Our experiments were designed to observe the cytological changes of the anterior lobes in rats pituitary at electron microscopic level after electric pain-stimulation. obvious changes were founded in the ACTH, GH and PRL cells and slight changes in the FSH and TSH cells. However, the LH cells remained to resemble the normal cells. In the experiment group of the somatic painful stimulation the results were as follows: The ACTH cells were irregularly shaped, with extended thin and long plasmatic processes which interdigitated with GH cells. The processes filled with secretory granules. Some of the Secretory granules aligning along the plasmatic membrane showed pale density. The flat cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) appeared to be slightly dilated. The sizes of the bodies of GH and PRL cells increased. In the GH cells there were numera media cisternae in RER, their Golgi complex was well developed, and the secretory granules were distributed to the periphery of the cell bodies. All these phenomenous showed the secretory activity of these cells was enhanced. The PRL cells contained well developed Golgi complex and abundant RER. In the experiment group of the visceral painful stimulation the results were as follows: There were more striking changes of parenchymal cells of anterior lobes in rats pituitary than those of the experimental group of the somatic painful stimulation. The cell bodies of ACTH, GH and PRL cells showed hypertrophy, the nucleus enlarged and nucleolus were relatively prominent. The dense granules decreased in number and the pale or empty visicles almost situated near the plasmic membrane in ACTH cells. In the GH cells large vacuoles were distributed throughout the cytoplasma. The number and density of the secretory granules decreased. In PRL cells the Golgi complex were extended, the dictyosomes increased, in addition, RER, polyribosomes and mitochandria were more aboundant than that in these normal cells. These cytological changes suggested secretory and synthetic activity of these cells were enhanced. At last, pain in relation to several hormones such as ?-endorphin, ?-LPH, ACTH and ?-MSH etc. were discussed by the author.

The purpose of this research work is to study the influence of experimentally produced pain on the uhrastructural changes of the nerve endings of the neurosecretory fibers from hypothalamus to neurohypophysis.Twenty adult male rats, weighing 200～300 g were divided into 3 groups: (1) Six animals were stimulated through two electrodes fixed on the tail to produce somatic pain. (2) Six animals were stimulated by increasing pressure in the stomach through an air balloon to cause visceral pain. And 8 animals served as control.All the animals were sacrificed and their neurohypophysis were fixed in 40％ glutaraldehyde and 1％ OsO_4 successively. Sections were cut with an LKB microtome and observed under H500 electron microscope.The following conclusions were drawn from the observed results:1. The neurosecretory granules in the fibers from hypothalamus to neurohypophysis grew up to maturity by increasing in size gradually as they passing down from hypothalamus to neurohypophysis.2. Basing on the morphological exhibition of the neurosecretory granules, we get the impression that the neurosecretion might be released either by molecular dispersion or by exocytosis.3. There were a great number of discrete smooth vesicles grouped in cluster in the dilated parts of neurosecretory fibers. These vesicles had been called as "synaptic" or "synaptoid" vesicles. They might be really synaptic vesicles and containing acetylcholine. Other vesicles with irregular profile and varying in size, collapsing vesicles and vacuoles might be the residues of the neurosecretory granules after discharging their content.4. Many synaptic vesicles were concentrated at the axolemma of the dilated parts of neurosecretory fibers and the membranes were thickened and leaving a synaptic cleft.5. In the exprimental groups after pain stimulation the neurosecretory granules decreased in number and the synaptoid vesicles increased in number and the neurosecretory granules showed a wide pale halo. The number of irregular vesicles and ghost of granules were increased. This phenomenon might show that the excretion of neurosecretory material and neurotransmitters was enhanced.6. Neurohemal zones were the barrier for the neurosecretory material entering into blood. Acetylcholine, endogenous opiatelike substances and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) might play a control role for neurosecretion at this site.7. This experimental results supported the action mechanism of endogenous opaitelike substance and morphine could produce an important role directly in neurohypophysis.
