After chemotherapy, the healthy qi of acute leukemia (AL) patients was severly demaged, remnant toxin with internal amassment, qi and blood deficiency, blood stasis, vertigo with syndrome of stagnation and blockade of phlegm-damp. The clinical symptoms with cold-heat intermingled together which are complicated and changable were quite similar to those of Jueyin disease. Therefore, this paper tried to explore the differentiation and treatment of AL after chemotherapy from Jueyin. It was concluded that the treatment of AL after chemotherapy should be treated with cold and heat method, attacking and supplementing together, with nourishing the liver as the main part. At the same time, it was importance to protect healthy qi. Combined with the basic pathogenesis of AL, it was proposed that Danggui-Sini Decoction was suitable for the treatment of AL after chemotherapy. All in all, the paper explored the differentiation and treatment of AL after chemotherapy from Jueyin in order to use more Chinese medicine therapy in the field of AL treatment.

The pathological presentation of Alzheimer disease (AD), the leading cause of senile dementia, involves regionalized neuronal death and an accumulation of intraneuronal and extracellular filaments termed neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques, respectively. One of the ?-amyloid peptides (A?), the A?1-42 form, is primarily responsible for neuronal damage and cell death that is the main component in the senile plaques. Over the past twenty years, the amyloid hypothesis has been strongly supported by a wealth of evidence, including data from genetic studies of Alzheimer disease. Amyloid cascade hypothesis states that the accumulation and deposition of fibrillar A? is the primary driver of neurodegeneration and cognitive decline leading to dementia. AD is a clinicopathological syndrome in which different gene defects can lead--directly or indirectly--to alter APP expression or proteolytic processing as such to change A? stability or aggregation. These result in a chronic imbalance between A? production and clearance. Gradual accumulation of aggregated A? initiates a complex, multistep cascade that includes gliosis, inflammatory changes, neuritic/synaptic change, tangles and transmitter loss. The evidence that links A? to the pathogenesis of AD is substantial, but the means by which these peptides exert their toxic effects, and where in neuronal cells they act, is far from clear. The up-to-date proceeding in the molecular mechanism of ?-amyloid peptides is overviewed.

Objective To investigate the association between pet ownership and lung function in children without asthma,and to provide scientific basis for the improvement of lung function in children. Methods Data was drawn from the cross-sectional study ,the clusters were randomly selected from 1 to 2 junior middle schools and primary schools in 24 administrative regions of seven cities in Liaoning Province. The ATS questionnaire survey was performed,and lung function including the forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1),forced vital capacity (FVC),maximal mid-expiratory flow(MMEF)and peak expiratory flow(PEF)was measured by utilizing portable electronic spirometers. Results In this study ,about 6280 children without asthma aged 7 ~ 14 years were enrolled,49.47 % of the children was male. The average lung function of FVC,FEV1,PEF and MMEF was (2.63±0.75)L,(2.47 ± 0.70)L,(4.80 ± 1.42)L/s and(3.37±1.05)L/s,respectively. By adjusting confounding fac-tors,we found pet ownership in the first 2 years of life was significantly associated with the predicted lung function impairment of FVC<85%(aOR=1.30;95%CI:1.01~1.67);current pet ownership was significantly associated with the predicted lung function impairment of FVC < 85%(aOR = 1.32;95% CI:1.09 ~ 1.61),the predicted FEV1<85%(aOR=1.47;95%CI:1.19~1.83),the predicted PEF<75%(aOR=1.48;95%CI:1.16~1.88) and the predicted MMEF<75%(aOR=1.35;95%CI:1.09~1.66). The in utero exposure was not related to lung function impairment. Conclusion Pets ownership has damaging effects on lung function in children without asth-ma,and it reduces FVC,FEV1,PEF and MMEF in children.

Objective To investigate the action of interlukin-2(IL-2),interlukin-6(IL-6) and its soluble receptors (sIL-2R,sIL-6R) in the first episode of depression in the patients of Uyghur nationality and the differences in IL-2,IL-6 and sIL-2R,sIL-6R levels between the responsive depressed patients and the refractory depressed patients treated with venlafaxine.Methods A case-control study design was conducted.57 first-episode patients with depression (patient group) and 55 healthy people matched with gender and age (control group) were recruited in the study.An intervention with sustained-releasing venlafaxine tablets at fixed dose of 150 mg/d was performed in the patient group.The severity of the illness was evaluated by using the Hamilton's depression scale (HAMD-17) before and after the therapy.And by calculating the reduction rate of HAMD-17 (≥ 50％ or ＜50％),the patients were divided into the responsive or refractory groups.The serum levels of IL-2,IL-6,sIL-2R and sIL-6R in patients and controls were tested by ELISA,and a re-test was done with the patients after treatment.Results There were statistical significant differences of the levels of serum IL-2,IL-6 and sIL-2R,sIL-6R between the patients and the control group (P ＜ 0.01).After treatment,the levels of serum IL-2,IL-6,sIL-2R and sIL-6R in responsive patients were significantly decreased when compared with those before the treatment(P＜ 0.01).The four indexes of refractory patients didn' t alter after venlafaxine treatment (P ＞ 0.05).There were positive correlations between HAMD,serum IL-2 (r =0.677 ; P =0.000) and IL-6 (r =0.197 ; P =0.033) before treatment in all patients.Conclusion Serum IL-2 and IL-6 may play a role in the onset of the depression.The efficacy of venlafaxine is negatively correlated with the levels of serum IL-2 and IL-6.Regulating the imbalanced inflammatory cytokines and the immune system may be one of the mechanisms of drug therapy of depression.
